Social media invented by US industry, that was mutated by Reaganomics. Interesting.

Yup, so is the original comment. The meaning of all that “glitters is gold” applied to reality is arbitrary. I don’t have obligation to recite some historical meaning the author might intend. I can see Bezos as glittering now but not gold.

Who is they? The original authors have little to do with the administrative state that’s been wrapped around our agency. Anarchy is no good. Haha. Your efforts are constrained by physical science, social objectives. There’s plenty of struct

Looking at raw numbers if always much more telling than cherry picked stats intended to sell an emotional narrative. 50-60% of 300 million+ people “thriving” means what for their other 40-50% of 300 million? Comments like yours lead me to t

> Who would wash the dishes? Presumably the person who dirtied them. So they can use clean dishes and not get sick from mold growing from the old food? Science has given us plenty of evidence to do as we do in a number of contexts. Defer

They’re purposely ill defined. The outputs they seek are emergent. You also belittle scrum for becoming too specific. Seems you’re still processing what to make of any of it. Knowledge work is immaterial and should have no prescribed rails

Seems presumptuous you would know what comfort means to humans in 100 millennia. All while ignoring the discomfort millions within your own country experience today. How nice of you to white knight for a future you won’t be around to witnes

That’s up to the people occupying California at the time. Humanity is doomed. I’m not saying we should accelerate it by leaning into YOLO. But along with accepting our own personal mortality we might consider it’s time to socially accept ou

Conversion of water into money is arbitrary; people need to eat. Food isn’t a luxury. It’s a biological necessity and it need not be coupled to financial markets. We’ll grow food because we must. Remember; fiscal economics were sold to a

Yes. It’s not what’s in the article but what it lacks; real criticism. It does nothing to constructively challenge why we should let Bezos be in charge of saving the planet. His billionaire adventures are doing quite a bit of damage to begi

Yet another in a number of Bezos fluff pieces I’ve seen in the last few days. Oh, he wants to save the planet? Maybe his garbage spewing engine named Amazon could do something there. Bezos is smart enough to know the odds of him saving Eart

Adam Smith warned extreme division of labor would result in humans that were unimaginably stupid. After figuring out the fundamentals of physics in detail the last 100 years, what else is there except engineering replacement technology and

I am not a grower and have moved up consistently in my career over the last decade from IT helpdesk to devops lead, with a company that’s profitable, and currently many rounds of demos deep with two very big businesses I can’t even tell you

Maybe more people are borderline schizophrenic than we realize. Cancer detection improved and people thought that meant cancer rates are up but, to my current knowledge, no one knows which is true. I’m not going to accept this is marijuana

I take the position that it’s your biochemistry reacting to them. What words you label it as feeling like are subjective. I notice people from all walks of life can feel entitled, and narcissistic. I’m sure some have been stoners.

Daily toker and edible eater; I’m high now. Hit the bong and a cartridge multiple times. I’ve also successfully upgraded large chunks of my employers infra code; tests green, deploys green. It’s no different than coffee to me at this point;

You have to do those things WITH Kubernetes. It doesn’t configure itself. I focused on fixing Kubernetes problems at my last job (usually networking). How is that supporting the business (hint: it didn’t so management forced us off Kubernet

Future humans will say the same thing about us for letting non-God billionaires have disproportionate control of our economic behavior. “They sat around playing banal number games, trying to manipulate each other’s agency, pointing at some

I did both for multiple years. I know which one feels like work. Go work 20 years of Friday and Saturday nights in a popular restaurant. Does not have to be the same one, as the expectation is the same. The level of effort I need to put int

It is as a behavioral habit. People always need to eat. It’s not fiscally viable closed system. Restaurants operate on tiny margins and come and go as frequently as software startups. We keep trying to hitch biological necessity to ridiculo

Covid has made me question eating out at all. It’s trivial to cook something that’s better tasting and healthier than fast food, most cafes. With all the practice in the last year, it’s not hard to come close to my favorite upscale restaura

I’d ask their name and call them that. I’m under no obligation to recognize anyone as anything but an average human without proof they’re actually skilled as they claim. Titles are political euphemism. I want to know someone’s profile to kn
