Social networks aren't that social anymore. Around 65% of the facebook content is not shared/generated by your friends in your social graph. So they're all just a Tik-Tok clones basically. Short dopamine addiction info-snacks

Free market countries are more abundant than non-free market ones because the system is brutally efficient. If you can't sell something for a profit, you might be forced to sell it for a loss and eat the difference. This is the way the

As Hayek proved the information in free markets is encoded by prices, so the value is up to the consenting parties. There is no "good" or "bad" or "improper" profit. If there is competition and willing parties

It's not the social safety, but the bad enforcement of the law. When bad acts are not punished, this is the problem that occurs. Some social systems like in Israel if you're ablebodied you are given a public service job, like clea

A lot of people forget that going hungry is the default state of not doing a thing. The super rich and socially progressive societies redistribute the taxes they levy on the productive people to help the people who can not (elderly, ill) or

No profits == no business. Profits in very competitive markets might be low, but you still need them to survive. Walmart is under 6% of profit, but due to the enormous revenue it is still a lot.

We have used Hetzner for 15+ years. There were some outages with the nastiest being the network ones. But they're usually not "dramatically bad" if you build with at least basic failover. With this we had seen less than 1 ser

Well... it would be good if this was true, but read the ToS and it looks more like a licence to use than "ownership" sadly :(

I think that too. When the people refresh their TVs with the newer, more DRM friendly/updated version this channel will meet its end :(

It's a general trend with hired managers who optimize for their bonuses. Also many founder led companies when they got sold to the shareholders are also optmizing for that. Some founder led companies are optimizing for something else,

Where do you think the tax comes from? If there is no profit, there is no business and there is no tax base? Taxes currently are for both the busness and the employees. On the producer side: - business pays tax on sales (or VAT) - business

It's not a manifestation on anything. What's cheaper with better quality will be chosen by the consumer. To get cheaper economies of scale are needed. My competitor has a contracting factory in Pakistan that has the same labor cos

Read about how the Japanese left their old in a practice called 姨捨 (Ubasute) . You miss the point of the argument, that when there isn't enough food, then this happens.

You can't feed poor people with "morals", you need a productive tax base and good redestribution system to do that. If you have a farm, you can't kill your chicken to feed the starving neighbour if your own chidren are s

The free market could do that without unions. Doing so increases the cost of labor in the product as % of the total price. You're super highly valued employee, your employer will be more than happy to buy your work in packages of 4 day

It's a strange article. Yes it's not an open source, but based on what is the author suspicious? Any bad behaviours from the authors? Change of ownership? Plugin risks? For me this is the least problematic non-open source software

They might be forced to do so because the current inference pricing is not really covered by the 20$ monthly fee. Who knows what they have promised to the investors and the real cashflow is hard to be certain about with the circular nature
