The AGPL (also) does this explicitly, but really there should be a general OSS license that forbids commercial use. That way the software stays where it is most needed and doesn't get abused to make profit. Is there such a license?

The cost to create software hasn't lowered yet, and it is a stretch to assume new tools (which historically speaking are likely to cost more than they'll deliver, while being used anyway) will definitely make a dent in that. In mo

I came out of the article still not fully understanding what makes a food ultra-processed. Why is a potato that is fried in my kitchen different if I buy it in a store already fried? The article doesn't address this which is a little u

This is discrimination against poverty and location, which is what the company under discussion is trying to avoid.

"Nepotism" also partially exists to keep "the rabble" out of whatever it is someone finds important, out of some misguided belief they are (and always will be) inferior. The last bit is important: AI assisted content gen

"Go to bed at a good time" is not a good solution for someone whose body structurally just doesn't work that way. It'll always be worse than going to bed according to what is natural for you.

Eventually when enough people are starving we'll have either a revolt or people collapsing in the streets, much better than having to think very hard about how to make basic needs affordable for everyone.

Politics is all backroom stuff and old boy networks. You may get involved, but to even start influencing a little you will need many years of networking before you can ever get started. And statistically speaking, you are unlikely to succee

"Inflation" is also measured ridiculously. Groceries and all utilities (basic and luxury) have become 50-100% more expensive but somehow the inflation is 8%? Not for anyone poor it isn't, for them it is 50% or more. I underst

If these women are younger than them, I think the judgement can be safely categorised as jealousy. The fact that you're picking partners younger than them makes them feel like they're not good enough, which is why they are upset.

This is needlessly hostile to about half of all humans and almost tailor-made to inspire anger. What were you aiming to achieve by saying this?

Can you explain why? "Disease" doesn't mean that it is bad in all cases, it doesn't even mean that it needs to be cured. All it means it that it's not an optimal state in the eyes of most other people (i.e. it is no

If I protect you by taking away your house keys so you can't have them stolen and abused, does that make me a good person? Is it a good reason to begin with?

the salient point is that it kills them out of self defense: they are conspiring against it and it knows. IMO it is not very terrifying in an existential sense.

You can disable such mitigations, which I'm struggling to credibly imagine inside a universe where an HFT firm (that is all about optimisation) would not know about.

If you seal properly you need mechanical ventilation. I'm not saying you're implying you don't, a lot of people around me forget such things and end up with very unhealthy living environments.

You say it is not free speech absolutism, but in the same paragraph you say that any sort of limitation of speech or belief that some thoughts are simply bad is something only idiots want or have. It doesn't read as a well-rounded beli
