Couldn’t the same thing be said about Walmart killing small businesses? The fact that disruption occurred doesn’t necessarily mean that the end result is better.

Yes, they are different actions . But arguably these actions share enough characteristics that it’s reasonable to place them in the same category . Something like: “products that exist largely/solely because of the work of other peop

I’m not suggesting that. I’m trying to understand what benefit you believe Trump received out of this whole scenario, and specifically how the handling of the bitcoin played a role.

What are you suggesting here? That the earlier bitcoin seizure somehow led to this pardon? I’m not following.

Why does this make the pardon make sense?

To me, the issue boils down to pragmatism and utility. It’s just human psychology; people tend not to change their minds when someone screams at them and otherwise disrespects them. If the goal is to move society in any particular direction

There are obvious bad/evil actors in the world. When people talk about engaging with other humans respectfully, they're generally not referring to the Putins of the world. And it's pretty rare to have so much clarity about a

To me, the problem is “productivity culture” and the often projected idea/belief that a tool or system will make you productive. Over the years, I’ve come to look at tools in this category this way: 1. If you’re struggling to get thing

I’m not a very conspiracy minded person, and this comment is mostly aimed at the Sam Altman’s of the world, but when people talk about AI harms, especially harms in the “risk to all human life” category, I’m increasingly convinced that it’s

And these jokes started back in the 80s? I think you may have this a bit backwards and there’s some conflation going on between real social phenomena and people who find those phenomena too ridiculous to believe and decide to make jokes abo

Not so sure about this…raw milk was absolutely a thing in the community I grew up in (ultra conservative, ultra religious, anti-vax, anti-regulation). I don’t think most people were aware of this until it made the rounds on social media, bu

For whatever reason this is what worked for me to replicate what the author was describing.

Oh, absolutely what it has come to mean over time. But what it has come to mean is ultimately what matters at the moment I think. The term has evolved, and I think that's a big reason there's so much polarization and disagreement

The trouble is that many of the issues now under the "woke" umbrella are not nearly as simple/obvious as the examples you've chosen. To raise just one example: for most people, terms like "whitelist" and "

by haswell 2y ago
Many people have decided that "woke" means one very specific and unimpeachable thing to them. The term generally means far more than "I support black people having a right to exist". By that definition, even many conserv

> Basically nobody on the left talks about “woke” except for perhaps a period of six months back in 2017. Can't really agree. Especially in the wake of the 2024 election, there's been quite a bit of discussion about wokeness

As a liberal/left/progressive person who agrees with many of the ideas "woke" people are pushing, I find "wokeism" extremely problematic. We need to put to bed the notion that criticizing some aspect of a socia

For sake of argument, what if the answer truly is "do it quietly"? What if it's most effective to live your life to the best of your ability without prejudice, and instead of preaching about what people should do, you just do

I think the key is not "going cross-eyed" as much as it is relaxing your focus until the images merge. If you intentionally cross your eyes, it hurts. If you de-focus/relax your eyes until the images merge, it doesn't hu

In the context of the GP, I think the point still stands though which is roughly: “the lens matters a lot”. Without knowing more about the optics, it’s hard to know how much of a role the sensor/ISP play in the innovation, but those ar
