The government controlling production is not all there is to socialism, at all. Markets are not an exclusive feature of capitalism. In very simple terms, the economy from a leftist perspective can be separated into two areas: distribution a

Marx wrote a famous piece called "Fragment on Machines". It actually predates Capital volume 1. He talks about the mix of knowledge and labour to produce machines that are capable of transforming nature (doing labour). From here,

I think a lot of people who are in favour of Open Source Software (OSS) do have similar opinions for other forms of artificial scarcity. The problem comes from an external system that doesn't really allow for information to be produced

Well... I don't think things are that simple. Is open source software (OSS) something that benefits society more than closed source software (CSS) ? That's a big question, I think a lot of people consider that yes OSS is better fo

There are a lot of people proposing models of economic development that don't necessarily rely on growth. There's a lot of work done on degrowth and similar modes of production. Though I haven't really read too much into it (

Why having the government in charge of something means it's going to be inefficient? Ultimately the government needs to be in charge of healthcare because healthcare is not a simple service but a human right. In many ways, we might tra

I like LEGO ideas, but from all the ideas I've supported only one has ended up becoming a set. A lot of the ideas have reached the required 10,000 signatures but it seems like to go beyond you need way more. I like this program a lot b

I don't think anyone is saying we shouldn't compensate people doing labour that is required. I think the problem is that we don't really have a societal model that is doing its hardest to cover these needs first before other

As far as I know you have to disclose that youre using a sponsored product. At least in the USA what your friend is doing is not legal.

I read an article the other day that someone posted in this website that precisely talked about how Russia had been witholding a lot of it's destructive capabilities so far. Specifically about cyber attacks and atacks to critical infra

When twitch says they're not making enough money but fail to disclose their revenue and costs it becomes hard to justify. In any case, as others have pointed out, the ad situation on twitch is abysmal. Because adblocker doesn't wo

If China wanted to hurt Australia it wouldn't be through the military, it would be through the economy. China is the largest trading partner for Australia but Australia the 7th for China (still significant). Not only that but how much

I really like Noam Chomsky, though lately it's not very enjoyable to see him on video form as it was in the past simply because he is just so old so he takes forever to talk. But it's clear that his mind is still exceptionally sha

I tried to set up a community with left-leaning people (politics). So we didn't really want the owner - admin - moderator structure that discord offered, instead we wanted a more open way for the community to self manage. The biggest p

Yes, I saw. It's kind of an awful feature though. I think the best approach to a mix of forum and discord-like communities is the app "aether.app" though it had a weird protocol behind it and has been abandoned. But the UI&#x

People used private forums before? Pretty much every country and even cities have their own subreddit, games all have their own "official" subreddits, and every hobby under the sun also has their own subreddit. I think that's

Yes of course. There are different sensor sizes in cameras, roughly speaking you have 2 different sizes that are popular (there are others): Full-frame and Cropped sensor. Full frame cameras (like the ones in the video) will let in much mor

Kind of a shame he never talks about the lenses on these cameras. The sony has a 12-24mm f2.8 which is a good lens but you could go much, much further with a prime lens (though ofc, you lose versatility). In reality, he never really pushed

I'm the kind of person that would be more than happy with just 1B dollar, but I think most billionaires are not like me. I wonder how Mark Zuckerberg's takes this kind of loss, indiference? painful? annoyance?

Forums weren't replaced by discord. Forums were replaced by Reddit. Although you post still stands, I think you're very wrong in thinking about the reasoning why people use one or another platform. Let's think about discord f

YouTube shorts annoy me. When you go into a channel to see what other videos they have and you see that most of the new videos are all shorts, it's quite unpleasant. I don't understand why there isn't a dedicated tab for shor

Twitch has had a gambling problem for years and they've done nothing about it. This is a platform that is used by young people from children to teens to young adults. How did they not do anything sooner? This has to be one of the most

Messenger is still very popular here in Australia, and I think people will be using this feature a lot. It comes in a bit late, but I think the way discord is set up is pretty much how most chat clients will be in the future.

Personally I've always enjoyed Vitalik's blog. It's definitely brought a new perspective on a lot of things and that's more than enough for me. If not technically impressive, or even "right", I take it these as

Theres a handy extension called sponsor block that skips sponsored content (and other non relevant content if you wish) from videos. If you have both adblock and sponsorblock you can pretty much have a completely ad-free experience. But at

But they can do so for deep learning and mathematics? Because in those fields, as I said, pre-publication peer review is not as common. Of course we need peer-review and neither me nor the paper in the OP say otherwise. We just can't b

“The algorithm on TikTok could easily tilt a couple of percentage points in an election here in the USA,” Calacanis said. “Or tilt sentiment toward the Ukraine war, or the independence of Hong Kong and Taiwan.” He means like Facebook did? I
