It should be clarified that late stage capitalism critique and antifa do not have any ideological or associational overlap. The former is theory limited to effects of economic relations, while the latter is a reactionary-by-nature pol

2 of the 3 here said they own equipment that only John Deere can work on and they do not like it. Their impression appears to be that “nowadays” the tractors have computers in them, which necessitates a technician with skills beyond that of

I have been living in rural Kentucky for 4 months and casually asking farmers about the issues with John Deere tractors. They are all familiar with the problem but the ones I have spoken to seem to think it is necessary. I think these are s

Precisely. And how could SV be blamed for treating it as such? "Diversity" is not even contextually correlated with class consciousness, and we are only confusing each other when we attempt using it this way. If enough political p

Wait, what's all this talk about how I could learn all the software technologies and get a job without a degree? I'm 32, highly skilled at algorithmic thinking, and studying to go into the tech industry. After reading this stuff,

The old icon was great. Hopefully they just move it back. I love VS Code but this obsessive flat design stuff kills me.

Good idea with the Halloween suggestion but that would have made me more upset. I would much prefer something reliable.

Yes, the bit about what the RED One was trying to do was a bit cringy but I thought it skirted around claiming it was better than film. The comparisons between the Alexa and RED One were very good, however. Coincidentally, I was doing work

Displays matter, but you may be missing the point. In short, low dynamic range means the display has less options to choose from. Better displays are very nice but they will always be limited by dynamic range and tone mapping. The problems

I agree. Most other measurements are difficult to observe or conclude. But, I think amplification of existing communication phenomena is powerful and complex enough to account for these outcomes.

Your point falls flat when we consider the student loan emabrrassment the professors have (with similar snide elegance) overlooked. To clarify, the shoemaker's customers in your analogy (the students) have been wearing worse shoes for

I think you're explaining yourself clearly, and of I know this is a common way of treating marxism in academia. I know you were taught it this way, as was I. But, I think it is suspicious nonetheless. Reading Marx makes me wonder why w

That makes sense. I question assuming that self-identified "marxists" are merely analysts of class and capitalism. These things are necessarily correlated and I'm not sure the necessity of drawing the line. Why not just use a

You are misunderstood about my point. I do not assume any authoritarian presence. I guess it's just textbook components of neo-liberalism: priorities which lead to bloated administration and marketing initiatives. I agree unionizing is

Please cite something or elaborate. This is a fair statement, but it's hardly an excuse in this context. I think you are stretching the meaning here. Marxism is not an ambiguous term.

Academia is essentially a class of institutions and/or an industry concerned with higher education. Of course adjunct professors would be associated here. Apparently you are missing the irony in such critical theory, post-structuralism

It treats it's students no better. The student loan crisis is by far the biggest foot in Academia's mouth. Academia's politics don't apply to academia.
