That is a great point and probably the most valuable take out of this discussion. We often use wealth as a proxy to well-being, but these kinds of posts shatter that concept. The author is, objectively, _not_ unwealthy. He has a credit card

The geographic variation on the semantics of poverty always amaze me. Poverty and having a credit card, a van, and a house to live in. No matter how maxed out or broken all of those are, having them automatically means you are not poor in m

I don't like this kind of content. The author might have a personal motivation for it, but for the general public, it's just more mental load. We are all going to die one day. When I was younger, I would fret over this kind of art

And the other day there was a thread with multiple people moaning that The Baddies signed a data privacy agreement, while of course the only country in the world that respects privacy is Murrica.

Ah -- sarcasm. You're absolutely right. When thinking of data privacy people think of the USA, where you can be sent off to a gulag island if a random officer does not like what he sees on your personal phone -- which he is, of course,

That's not the point. Why are some people entitled to more than others based on where they live? The US is the world leader in per capita CO2 emissions. Has been for over a century. Only in 2021 China has reached 8t per capita. Do you

Sweden, Uruguay and Portugal are on that list, to name a few more advanced countries. Seems like a pretty good list. I wonder what countries you do associate with data privacy.

Can you tell everyone what their per capita emission is? While you're at it, compare that with the US per capita emissions. Also let us know the accumulated emissions for China and US in the last 50 years. Thanks.

Deflection at its finest. At least as a thought exercise, consider the possibility that the US administration was _always not great_ on its own merits, not as the fault of whatever foreign boogeyman-of-the-day.

This just makes me feel more loyalty towards Immich and disgust towards Google Photos. At this point I would rather use an analog camera with photo albums than Google Photos.

Look up the winners of 1991 and 2009. The prize is a joke. Its almost an anti-prize at this point. Look at the company you would be with. I definitively would not want to be included in that group.

I am signing a beautiful Executive Order firing Maria Black, the radical left-wing CEO of ADP. As the President I can do that, you know. She was appointed by Joe Biden. She has said some very nasty things lately - I've been told by ver

This behaviour is a thousandfold worse when you have kids, especially at social gatherings like birthday parties. Other parents (at least in my age cohort) assume it is OK to film them and post it to whatever social media they have without

It might be time for you to refresh your idea of "popular opinions". What was unpopular 10 years ago is very much popular and mainstream today - which is probably why he felt safe enough coming out politically. He didn't have

Having read stuff from DHH for a long time, this does not surprise me in the least. It just feels like he picked the right time, zeitgeist-wise, to fully come out of the closet. I distinctly remember a specific Twitter comment, maybe 7ish y

In what world were the dems advertising allowing anyone in though? Did I daydream Harris saying "do not come" a few years ago?

In a bizarre plot twist, the US is gradually easing into the very same role of a cult-personality, unreliable, non free trade State that they've been bitching about for almost a century now.

Seems like a zero sum game re: interface. Either we optimize for human interactions or for agentic. Yes we can do both, but realistically once things are focused on agentic optimizations, the human focused side will slowly be sidelined and
