There is a difference between fighting censorship and supporting a platform of the day. So fight censorship, don't support substack, YT, FB or anything else. On the side note: having many competing platforms help to fight censorship. S

I guess there was too much trust in the MSM at one point and what we see now is a 2 fold problem: 1. A hangover after the blind trust period 2. A degradation of MSM became obvious and opened a way for smaller outlets and citizen journalists

I got your point, but what is the hill we should die on? I'd say censorship is the one.

I'm not sure that there is such a beacon of truth you are looking for. May be that should be the resolution after all the dust settles.

But should these ideas be censored though?

I mostly agree with the maturity argument and because of that all the attempts to push more decision making (like voting) on younger people seem strange to me. But the most curious topic for me at the moment is why we are lowering our expe

I’m mostly curious about why the maturity period was prolonged by 5-10 years from what the human race had 100 or 1000 years ago. I’m not talking about education but the transition from youths to adulthood.

I’m wondering what has changed in the human nature (if any) that we need day care for ppl older than 18-19 years now. What did such ppl do 100 (or 1000) years ago to overcome all that.

Sometime ago I came to a conclusion that there might be another reason why american (western) left is talking more than acting on the problems from their agenda: any action has 2 inherent risks: risk of failure and risk of success. While ri

While all the services above are more or less replaceable (one way or another) or possible to stop using them all together, it’s really hard to replace services like gmail. I wish I have a manual on how to do that properly with a self hoste

Well, it’s not easy to understand the full list of responsibilities for the PM ppl, but from my point of view at apple the most important and valuable asset is access to VP+ folks. PMs and designers have the most of it.

That is true. It has its own downsides as well. Like extremely outdated and bad tech in the areas not visible to the higher ups.

Designers and PMs. Apple is being ran by designers and PMs. Which is not really a bad thing from users point of view.

From my point of view there is a hierarchy of swe’s at apple. On the top are iOS devs - the one who are the closest to the users and execs. Next are macos, hardware, backend. After all of that you have IST eng (i hope that i remember the na

Risking is one option, but there is another one: the breaking might take more than one generation an that is something which is often overlooked by the modern discourse. Every next generation might end up a bit better off and on the timespa

Both cars I have allow to do that. I can't be absolutely sure, but I want to say that I don't remember a car without height adjustable shoulder belt.

I would argue that even for larger websites this would not be a valid logic either. Such websites might have a team responsible for such issues, but this is not the service these websites provide nor the primary way of operation for these w

That is a very generous way of thinking about (no doubt) very smart people.

I think you underestimate the areas where full (or significant) staff is needed. What about manufacturing jobs, farming, transportation and logistics (especially transportation of ppl not goods), services (including public services). I&#x27
