Honestly, I found it super interesting and the tone worked for me. It’s a comprehensive summary of the poison that is engagement and metrics above all else development. But I will say the tone makes me stop short of sending this to my paren

Yeah it works fine, when you click the “new page” button the template just gets duplicated from the base. So toothbrush will be duplicated for each new trip, checking one off won’t affect the others. To be clear: it’s not a table of items t

It takes some doing, but you can build a pretty competent trip planning/packing app all within something like Airtable or Notion. This is what I use, I have a db called “trips”, when a new page is added it pre-fills with a generic trip

You are nit picking while ignoring their larger point: just because a state has regressive policies doesn’t mean it deserves to be oppressed, controlled, and effectively destroyed. Israel’s terror is not helping queer people in Gaza, full s

Sure, but I can craft an equally plausible opposite effect: by recycling plastic, the average person is tricking themselves into thinking they’re not actually creating more trash, that what they just put in the bin is going to be reused. Th

Do the Right Thing. Not only is it one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, but I’m reminded of the ending every few months when I read the news. I now have a very different perspective when I see some oppressed group get admonished for prote

I love reading reviews, even for albums I’ve already listened to. They provide an additional perspective and often are full of history, influences and other additional information that you won’t get from the album itself.

Is that not what they are? It’s not like it’s a pejorative term.

When we’re talking about the impact of neoliberalism, they absolutely are the same. The things they differ on are mostly social issues that don’t actually have much of an impact on capital.

The parent comment didn’t say force to date, it’s more like don’t allow filtering by race. Many gay apps explicitly don’t have this feature already.

Yes! Also that many attempts to centralize podcasts have failed. At least in my experience it’s been very easy to avoid Spotify or Audible’s locked down podcast offerings.

Also writing, editing, sound engineering, voiceover work. I’m not saying it’s great art but there are a lot of filmmaking disciplines on display here.

I thought it was kind of novel, in that I wouldn’t expect the sxsw crowd to boo anything tech-pr related, since from my vantage point that’s all sxsw is. It also felt novel that the promo video itself had an OpenAI bigwig say “AI actually m

In what way are Tyler Perry’s movies culture war movies? They’re not “woke” at all. They’re all incredibly conservative and Christian. They’re just made for a black audience, which has clearly made Tyler Perry very, very rich.

Being antisemitic and pro Zionist is not a contradiction. Neither is being anti-antisemitic and anti-Zionist. Zionism is not Judaism.

More civic engagement from the general population is definitely a good thing. More civic engagement from the capitalist ruling class? Not sure I agree with you on that one.

None of that strikes me as meaningfully different than regular old propaganda.

There were obviously other factors at play, but the US was at its most equal just after WW2, which was also a very prosperous time. Source: Capital by Piketty

I don’t think any of them have done something unethical to earn their billion, but artist billionaires are certainly outliers. They’re such outliers that it’s still a safe assumption someone has done something exploitative if they’re a bill

I think the warping was just an example of something that can only be done with ray tracing. It could just be a straight line or whatever.

Not sure I’m able to do that, but I can tell you about non-Muslim countries that are just as bad, and plenty of practicing Muslims that are progressive and totally cool with lgbt people. That suggests to me the issue is more about authorita

The best time to form a union is when things are going well at a company. It’s easier to use your union to solidify existing benefits than to ask for new ones. You unionize in the good times so you’re protected in the bad times. (Not saying

Why do you think we don’t care about US brands? H&M, Nike, Adidas are all built on slave labor and pollution. I didn’t know that Levi’s was as well until reading your comment. I do think the scale and the race to the bottom in terms of

Well arc is based on chromium, so it’s the same ratio of closed/open source as the majority of browsers.

I don’t know if you get it. Just because someone isn’t stereotypically attractive doesn’t mean they aren’t hot in some other way. I’m close to conventionally attractive but my type is shorter, overweight bearded guys (balding optional). The

Wow, I really disagree with this framing! I find the mass media (Ezra Klein included) like to frame things in terms of this big bad far-right government that’s making Israel do bad things. To me, that’s a totally separate issue from the Isr
