Why would there not be a market for housing people with low wages? There are markets for cheap food, cheap clothes, cheap entertainment, ... Everything except lodging. There's a hiccup somewhere in the "free market" of many c

Market forces = unprecedented liquidity injections into the economy increasing inequality faster than ever the past two years. Of course the lower classes are going to struggle. The most ironic part of this is we've had demonstrations

Wow that's rich. I already thought the purely functional action confirmations of the Google home are too annoying, but Amazon Alexa straight up tries to re-engage their users and people put up with it?

Can you elaborate on that? It seems to me that in most of today's capitalistic societies these goods/services are totally interchangeable. If I'm rich and willing to pay for quiet sleepy time next week, I will get it. If I&#x

DoH on by default is great for regular users, in order to access websites banned at the ISP DNS level. Depending on the country that can include a whole lot of websites, even not including warez and porn. Anyway, they should really put more

It would be more useful if one could either follow a link to the replies, or read the full tweet text of the corresponding node by clicking on it. Also the node div should have a background color, for when an image doesn't load. As an

Just like with anything security, it's not about eliminating 100% of the risk but making it harder for enemies to attack you. Crypto might not be the holy grail solution, but securing your lifeline for living in society (money), is a p

"Technical measures" are the necessary leverage to get into negotiation. Without any teeth, you can do as many demonstrations as you want, the enemy probably has a better propaganda machine than you and can win the pure opinion-sh

That's a high standard for being considered "ethical". I'd argue that as long as the platform incentivizes voluntary work more than forced work, it goes in the right direction and is thus "ethical", or at least

I just tried the latest VSCode Vim plugin version and it still forgets the cursor column when moving through uneven lines [1]. That's basic functionality, so I wouldn't call the VSCode plugin a viable alternative to a proper Vim-b
