That’s part of my point. Cutting yourself from new frameworks and hardware features just to cut churn would be a horrible tradeoff in most cases. There are some niches where churn can be mostly avoided, but I think churn is usually a fact o

The opposition was not against the car at that time, but against the military purpose ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges-Eugène_Haussmann#The_d... ), the crushing of the lower layers of society, who had to move away

It's a weird argument though. Infanticide was also the norm for almost all history, but you wouldn't defend any relation between it and whatever progress the society made, or things it produced. It's just unrelated in my opin

It's not just historic fantasy though, there was opposition to his way, but they didn't have the political clout nor could oppose centering the cities around cars. It's not just Haussmann either, most countries had that tensi

That gap is being bridged by scooters (electric rental ones, but also private ones, non electric ones) and bikes (same here, rental but also private ones) In general people are less reticent to bring a foldable bike in the subway for instan

I get your point, but I think responsiveness is just an aspect of the issue. For 8chan and for any other platform. For instance if you were harrassed on twitter, twitter being blazingly fast at taking down tweets you report wouldn’t help yo

Inciting violence is not legal though. It’s reasonable to cut support to players that relentlessly fail to comply with the rules. The platforms are not turning against them, they are constantly abusing the ToS of these platforms . Now some

It's easier going the other direction: what is time tracking good for ? Tailorism was good for simple, repetitive and immutable tasks, where the only planned improvement would be the worker. If the task was to be revised, it would be t

It somewhat ends up in a best of both world scenario though. Java 15 years ago (in my opinion) was so strict and rigid and abstract interface jokes were writing themselves in real life. PHP was in a fairly dark (though very lively) place as

An interesting effect of that would be that algorithms and result would get tuned more and more towards other users, those who give away their data. The same as to why drugs or so many other things are tuned towards men (large body of resea

Facebook’s 30 000 moderators is problematic as it’s a pit of human misery, with basically fresh souls sent down the mine as canaries to detected hurtful content. Even looking away from the human aspect a second, it means these 30 000 are no
