What about when a product changes names, between your logins? Take protonmail - they started to use “proton.me” instead of “protonmail.com” more and more often. If your f(x) was f(“protonmail”) originally but after being away six months you

There are times that I, a fighter of depression, and severely exhausted person think: if I lose my jobs (firefighter and software engineer) and things with my alcoholic wife trend toward my being unable to provide that which is required of

Not entirely - one problem I had with piracy, and I did it from the 90’s on, was finding new music. Spotify opened up catalogs with algorithms that piracy never could. Short of going to Strawberry’s and looking around… for cds to copy fro

Except that is not true, at all. You’d like it to be, logically, but if a trespasser (even if they are not aware they are) trips off a poorly maintained trail or an old rock wall, or etc … the landowner will be in court. If it can happe

Same here, though not for MS, just ISPs and resellers. Most often, iirc, it was drivers on floppies and “how do I do …”

Where do you (how do you) connect housing, food, essential services to a lower mortality rate and further, how do you connect more people (consuming yet paying taxes) to a capacity as you mention it?

sure: if you extend things to the extreme. Ignoring that illogical connection between “feeding people” and “pop growth” - there is no, that I have read, indication that an increase in pop will become untenable, under a system designed to t

How about we take the things that are necessary for a functioning life, and make them provided to each person based on a universally understood base tax layer. Things like food, shelter, electricity, heat, water, healthcare, etc. Just… star

Except with unencrypted urls, combined with a dataset of previously leaked pws and someone who uses a pw at another leaked place as their master password … means that encrypted lastpass acct is now open. The bottom line is: hacks are bad.

For sure but we also don’t know how much “effective dated” data they store. If a backup from 3 months ago is leaked… what the pw on the acct was the day you deleted it won’t matter.

Even still - they could access deleted content from this breach. I’ve always said I don’t have social media, I get enough of what I want without logging in, and anything online is a fake/scam account not to be trusted. Sure. It’s got

Fair point. Just consider: the only reason one investor will complain abt “value” - is because that value exists on a market that’s (purpose) built to extract as much “value” as possible with very little, often fought for, regard for human

I do appreciate your replies and can see where you are coming from as it pertains to the article. Zoning is what zoning is - and that’s to be covered by the auto shop or pet store or etc etc. What “triggers” me is this idea that the defaul

Exactly. They “hedge” their investments through monied expression and bullying of others enjoying their own property. Pretty standard sociopathic capitalist formula, to be honest.

Regarding your edit: the ire comes from (at least in my reply) the idea that your logic or example is so shallow as to “by default” support the class of people who can afford to treat homes like investments. There are entire cohorts of pe

We already have laws re environment - STOP EMBOLDENING THE SUPPORT FOR THE INVESTMENT OWNING CLASS by pretending those laws don’t already exist. No example given isn’t already covered by a law that already exists. Except in the correlation

by flandish 4y ago
The only “right” answer lies in the idea that one’s home should out prioritize another’s investment. Investment supports a class driven, divide building system. Homes support humans. One of the two above clearly, imho, has “right of way.”
441.
by flandish 4y ago
That difficulty lies in the system - which can be resolved/upgraded via various means. But the “concept” of one’s property as investment “outranking” one’s property as a homestead is, in my mind, part of the core concern here. Maybe i

Oh I think they should attempt to register their opinion, but in the end, that’s as far as it can go - if we truly “care” about a human’s right to private enjoyment of their own “property.”

Exactly. Additionally - I like to reinforce the idea that your home is a home not an investment. Your second or third? Sure. But in my time on various zoning boards and appeals boards more often than not I am the dissenter when someone

I’m sorry for confusion - I meant corporation in the sense that it’s a for profit org operating under capitalism. Not necessarily a public company, available on the stock exchanges.

It was(is/will be) a corporation - you cannot “trust” any corporation. None of what twitter / elon is doing is a surprise - it’s just a popular site so it’s more reported.
