I get your point but I think sending the right signals to the market about carbon use is more important. If we need to tax the rich more we tax the rich more. If we can’t control global warming poor people have much worse things than taxes

I didn't want to extend his comment to saying more than it was, or debate his beliefs on what good news is. That's an ethical debate and is always situational on what the news is about, who's watching the news, and when they

> This was extremely harmful to the overall mission of informing people and created a false balance between sides which are not equally valid. Today, this is almost universally seen as a failure of journalism. Is there data that show CNN

True. But I'd never pay for ad-free Youtube. Gladly already paying for Spotify.

Really? They might be able to legitimately compete with Youtube. I watch a lot of podcast clips on Youtube but would much rather view it ad-free on Spotify.

Nah not snarky. The difference is mostly that Facebook is a company creating restrictions for speech on their platform based on the views of employees and shareholders of the company on what speech should be acceptable on their platform. R

You can't save people from their own stupidity. I'd rather have stupid thoughts said out loud so they can be analyzed and detected rather than repressed inside ones own mind. I think that the non-sense that a lot of people are p

Jeff Bezos is not Amazon. Amazon wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't relentlessly competitive. Workers are not risking their lives for peanuts. They're paid a competitive wage for people that have their skill set. There are

I completely agree. Just management also has to do their job rationally. Everyone should be negotiating.

by jumpman500 7y ago
I think what you're asking is more unfair. Amazon should do what's good for the most amount of people which is keeping prices down. There are plenty of people willing to take these jobs, we have record unemployment. Raising wage

Hmm you don’t think there’s any seniors that could play so well that they’d make the NBA draft?

I think I misread the comment I was responding too. I was more trying to say hierarchies are not always wrong, but I realize now that's not exactly what he was claiming. You're right they're often abused and should always be

You're just thinking about one edge case. Any child is born into a hierarchy if they have a guardian of any sort. If you want to learn from a teacher you have to enter into a student teacher hierarchy. Any engagement with other huma

Your example shows a very particular shortcoming in the unix command line programs. The mv command doesn't play nice with spaces in file names. I think python is a fine solution for your use case and wouldn't recommend against y

Awk and sed are generally superior for simple data transformations than python. Like cutting off specific lines, columns or replacing characters in files. They have pretty great performance in large files. Once things get complicated though

I think you’re right. But... Joe Rogan often claims he’s not a genius, and not an expert in many topics. I also feel his fan community strongly understands this. There are a lot of YouTube videos making fun of his mannerisms and when he mig

I think it’s ok to bring up anecdotes as long as you don’t outright say they’re causal.

You’re being unfair to gscott. He didn’t make a causation claim.

There's nothing a single individual can do to stop global warming. We need radical technological innovation to get out of this mess. Everyone needs to be encouraged to participate. Dividing ourselves into good and bad group over diet

Change the way people talk about global warming. It’s not about saving the rain forest, endangered species, pigs and cows. It’s about power and survival. That other stuff is just feel good moral values that won’t matter if we go extinct. A

I'd like people to stop pitching diets as a way to fix climate change. It makes people take global warming less seriously and it won't help enough to matter.

Well this is a super elitist point of view. I'm okay with the public understanding and misunderstanding information. There's value in their interpretation. Civilization goes on and history should be preserved as accurately as we

Would you feel the same if it was you or your friend who had their life's work stolen? Would you be alright watching someone make a fortune off of your work and not even acknowledge they owe you?

In my scenario the more popular artist is pretending to be the original creator and stealing their work. But imagine any plagiarism scenario. Someone republishing Harry Potter under their name for instance. How can you prosecute someone for
