Social inequality is listed as one factor among many. Do you know of revolts that were specifically about inequality? The ones I checked from the list were mostly religious, agricultural or nationalistic in nature. The ones I saw that could

I'd say it's more than that. Culture has changed and morphed into something where we feel we are entitled to a lot, just because we exist. I don't think our culture a few hundred years ago was like that. Did we see revolts in

Yeah, as you show, full equality is unreachable. Even without the capital differences. Some people will have traumas or accidents or just bad genetics that will end up in inequalities. The thing is to have a destination, a goal. Which equal

That's but one version of equality. Equality under the law (both your examples may arguably fall here), but we also have equality of opportunity, equality of outcome, equality by mean reduction. I personally agree that equality under t

This is a great point to which I don't really have an answer, just a question. Why do we define justice as everyone having the same (or roughly the same within certain thresholds)? I mean, I can totally see that everyone having more or

Yes, I think that the word happy and happiness are wrong words. Acceptance or contentment are better words, but are not as attractive. If you think about permanent acceptance then you can actually see it happening. It's permanent eupho

The key part here is that you shouldn't be afraid of throwing parts (or even throwing wholes) away. Many times we get too attached to solutions to the wrong problem because that's what we built. So in that sense we could rephrase

It surely is my limitation, but I have a hard time of visualizing uses for these tools other than interfacing them to ML models (which is not a very compelling use case in my opinion). What other cool things have been done with programmatic

There's been lots of bad decisions along the way for .net, but In its current state (.net Core 6) I can't really see any of your problems happening. Although what strikes me most is your first point. Running SQL server on 1gb and

That was going to be my question, don't you just distract yourself more instead with other, non digital, things?

I've paired remotely and haven't found it particularly problematic. Even without plugins, which tend to suck. Driver shares the screen with the ide, zooms it up, and it's good enough to be useful in my experience.

The fact your K12 system is a dumpster fire, doesn't mean that there is a single way to educate all children which is the best for all and where all will thrive. The method needs to incorporate the differences between the children and

I had a very well organized and documented remote onboarding experience. There was a list of meetings to schedule with the names of the relevant people and tasks to undertake, as well as a dedicated mentor that you met with as often as you&

That the attacks are unjustified is arguable. The problem is not the attacks on them, but the politics. If Europe is still consuming fossil fuels they could still produce them and source it elsewhere and not buy it from Russia. In addition,

Did you know that the fossil energy sources are also intermittent? No energy plant is ever working 24x7x365. Stop with the fud already. There are real concerns with solar and wind that could be ameliorated with small scale storage, nuclear,

Where's your source? I bet there's people who keep it at 22 others at 25 and yet others at 16 in Norway.

You're misunderstanding the quote. It doesn't mean to never investigate, but to never start with the assumption that it is malice. You can complement it with the famous "trust, but verify" quote. Or with "giving t

On the one hand, capital is flowing into climate tech, and on the other there are several growing communities that are addressing this problem space: https://workonclimate.org/ https://www.myclimatejourney.co&#x2

I've always been a melodic instrument player and have never had formal theory training - I'm trying to play the piano and I can't figure out how to harmonize (is this the right term?) a melody, this is, how to find or decide

This is patently untrue. If you had followed some links there you would have seen that there are renewable plants today that are cheaper than fossil alternatives. The current gas crisis is, if anything, due to bad choices of electricity com

That's one (powerful) argument against this intermittency myth on one of the sources I link to here. The grid already is powered by intermittent sources, no power plant is on 365x24.

I think your assessment of what is currently possible with nuclear technology is somewhat skewed. The time from start to plan to put in production of an old technology nuclear plant is seven years on average (which honestly sounds optimisti

I know some communities that are aiming at climate in general and not focused on wildlife specifically but may have some related opportunities. Work On Climate, climate action tech and my climate journey. PS: I love that autocorrect.

One point I rarely find when something like this happens is the question of why was the software sold. It's likely that if, for example, people had a culture of giving to OSS developers the acquisition may have not happened or even mad
