   I think the first thing everyone here needs to recognize, is that this is primarily a MANUFACTURING / FACTORY jerb. 99% of humans in the semi-conductor field are not designing masks and worrying about etching time or whatever nonsense

   Appreciated, and I'm sure it is _part_ of the equation, but that also would indicate that Capitalism is inherently flawed as it won't allow for maximum expression of profit. Almost as if there was an non-invisible hand that is wei

   While a completely valid theory (and thank you for sharing it here), that is super dark. There just seems to be so much we know we don't know, that to theorize we're the pinnacle of what civilization can be is...gauche? Insanely s

   That's because he's eliminated all that from his life. He is King of Facebook, engineered it that way and listened to dark people's advice to make it so. I'll feel a little tiny bit of sympathy for that robot when he act

    I have one of the original Kickstarter A64+, it has happily run low disk I/O tasks for years (on account of the uSDcard). Right now it runs some services through Docker and is pretty dang solid. I've never taken any manufacturer&#

    Yikes! I presume this self-assured statement comes from ignorance and youth? Can you detail the sysadmins that you've worked with that didn't understand code or the underlying infrastructure they are tasked with supporting better

    Thank you, so very much, for sharing this. This exact activity has been at the top of my mind of late, and I will be using your experience as motivation before I lose my chance. Posting this could not have been easy for you, it might be los

    I honestly can't imagine how this is true, but of course, experience is a hell of a filter. I use search for everything (though a lot of the time some folders is all that is needed), and Google Photos is a sin greater than Central Air

    Yes! Why would a human being feel that feeding children is NOT their responsibility? Clearly you have never had to be the "free lunch kid", or idealize your childhood independent of the cruelty of "different". You are ex

    Thank you for the post, and I'd like to highlight that the only important driver here is Shame. We all experience it (some much much much more than others), and yet we never discuss it, by its very nature. It can be debilitating and wi

    It isn't, not when there is a better _commercial_ system in the world. If the "invisible hand" was real, great. As it has been a constantly manipulated and managed construct within the world of global finance from the moment

    I wish I could give this all the points. I don't have the energy to deal with that site?/blog?/tumblr?/paidrantpage? again, but yeah. Reporting. The rest is stupid obvious for anyone not living in a gilded cage.

    Well said, and totally with you until Infinite Jest. Hanging your hat on that should haunt you like mentioning it within the same breath as Ulysses, Gravity's Rainbow or even Blood Meridian. Infinite Jest is the Jared Kushner of litera
