At a certain scale they will hire from the same pool as the ISPs. Labor is never saved, it's just moved around. Cooperatives are always better than traditional for-profit companies because you dont have an executive class that does n

This person did nothing wrong. Laws holding people accountable for helping people who are being abused by an unaccountable power are themselves abusive and should be struck down.

Weirdly I find the v8 source and jQuery (at least several years ago) to be the best. They're examples of real-world, multi-distributed-collaborator, mature projects. Harder, I think, than writing "clean" code is maintaining a

I love this photo because to me it represents a sort of "American Gothic". I've spent most of my life in America and I can confirm that, as many of the linked tweets say, it does look like that "most of the time." T

It's shockingly difficult to convert work people from "work friends" into real friends. The only success I had was when one of my startups got bought in a way where we all left on the same date because we fully vested. Then e

As an anecdote, I've lived the majority of my life in America (born and raised middle class on the east coast in a wealthy area) and if I was tasked with writing an account of my time here it would be focused around one thing: alienati

Yes, with the caveat that it must be a large enough tax to make it cheaper to use cleaner energy sources. Otherwise it will go the way of regulatory fines: they become the cost of doing business and amount to a fixed line item on a budget r

Corporations dictate consumer behavior in the ways that matter here. Do you think individuals agitated for the rise of throw-away goods during the rise of mass produced plastics in the 60s? This was the simply the most companies could do in

Exactly. I've done no research on the company but I assume Graham is profiting off of its success. Since only collective action will solve climate change's effects on the middle and lower classes this is just cynical profiteering

Directly relative to your net worth in most cases. In fact, this website appears to be an intake funnel to get rich people to pay for services that help them get residency and passports for other countries.

Can you explain why this seems so to you? Totally not my experience with visiting national parks in Korea and Japan. For one thing, much of Japans un-developed nature is such because its largely as impassable now as it was in the 1600s when
