One problem with unbounded capitalism is that people can’t understand how big big numbers are. They think of themselves but slightly richer. So of course people should be able to accumulate the wealth of a city or a country, and there’s no

Dictatorship is very compatible with conservative values.

I hope that you can see this doesn’t say that they tried to abolish family, just weaken it. Additionally, in the totalitarian phase which started in the late 1920s, family was supported and strengthened: > the government of the Soviet Un

Not really, just the notion that trying to abolish family is somehow the hallmark of totalitarianism doesn’t seem like sound reasoning, and indeed it isn’t confirmed by historical examples.

I don’t think they ever tried to “abolish family”. Where are you getting this stuff? It sounds like bad history lessons. They did stuff like legalizing divorce, or collectivization of parenting.

Early Soviet Union did try to reshape family, but it went back on it eventually, seeing the value of the conservative family model in building social cohesion and loyalty.

Totalitarian regimes often uphold traditional values like family as a means of control, promoting unity and loyalty to the state-yet they’ll redefine these values whenever it suits their ideology.

I saw the dot imports and thought “What a neat feature! I wonder why nobody uses it.” Then I googled it and saw a million articles saying how they should be avoided and removed from the language because they make code more difficult to unde

Many Go programmers would claim this is cleaner and more understandable, unfortunately I'm not one of them.

Go people will do this and they'll be content: a := []int{1,2,3,4} it := slices.All(a) it = slices.Reverse(it) it = slices.Map(it) it = slices.Filter(it, func(i int) bool { return i % 2 == 0 }) slices.ForEach(it, func(i i

If there's a bilionare here willing to give me a basic income until I pass, let me know. You could even give me a condition like doing social or creative work. The corporate world is tiring, and time flies by.

I kind of agree. Chess sucks big time, especially played online. Playing with your grandpa in the park is OK.

If you’re analyzing it that broadly then the interest on the CC debt will also be a profit for the bank which will distribute it across its workers and shareholders, and those people will also use it for consumption. It’s just a wealth tran

Maybe assuming that you would spend as much with and without the credit, but I think removing the barrier to consumption, and buying on impulse and thinking later is the key. If you’re forced to save up for an expense, you have much more ti

You hate it but companies love it because people having easier access to spending makes them better consumers I guess?

In a group you could theoretically run an ssf mode where your group is isolated from the rest of the world, and your enjoyment isn’t spoiled by people who have more experience than you.

I’ve never played WoW, because I’ve always felt that it would require impossible time commitment from me. Looking at the game when others play it makes me think that I would be so happy if I could experience it with a group of friends. Mayb

It doesn’t work like that. Your mistakes were unique to your experience and situation. You can’t extract them into abstract rules and make a book to give to people. They need to make their own mistakes. And they’ll find out that what was a

I’d take it as a time to reflect that no matter how much profit you make, people will remember you for what you’ve accomplished. Think about that when you get to your coveted position of power in the industry.
