I can't be the only person who thought this was about tiling!

Is anyone aware analyses of how this affects a company, their employees, their products? I find it very difficult to reason about value with subscription services, especially when the costs are even more divorced from labor than normal.

“Security by obscurity” Hey no knocks, just saying there’s a name for this tactic.

0.62% is pretty alarming, tbh. Our water systems are generally much less safe than people believe.

Thick? I never would have even thought to complain about them. Sure you’re not thinking of firewire? Also doesn’t thunderbolt literally use the same form as usb-c these days? Edit: yup, thunderbolt 3 uses usb-c connectors.

Early markets were fueled by capital, not competition. Capital needs to be reigned in with these monopolies or we’ll just sprout more. Let’s not pretend like competitive markets are possible with the kind of capital needed to compete.

That ain’t a good thing, it just means this kind of hellscape is inevitable.

You can pretend that the economy is non-political all you want. The clear loss of life you imply says otherwise.

I’m a twitter style anti-landlord, thank you very much.

Modern policing is full of contradiction: it should be non-violent, but it should also evict people, even from the streets. It should be anti-racist, but most prosecuted crimes are against the poor. It should protect the community from loss

This is what degrading all understanding of a political economy down to jobs and a stock market price does. Btw, it’s absolutely unacceptable to justify the degradation of water quality with jobs. Regardless the reasoning it was entirely ir

I wouldn’t read the lack of public investment into software as accidental. Just look how terrible investments like healthcare.gov are to see why: massive mountains of cash if you’re not a worker and no need to deliver anything usable. There

I’m curious how much this correlates to police shows on television. At best, they are romantic depictions of policing. Even the “gritty, realistic” ones like “the shield” or “the wire” don’t really convey the complexities of how policing cu

Can’t speak for others but a) i have no way to charge my car at home as I have no dedicated parking spot, and b) i have no need to use a car for commuting or short distances because I live in a city, so this change might actually make elect

Really? Typically the concern is that they can compete too well.

Of course it’s realistic, we can still produce necessary goods at the rate we need to live. > It seems like you are proposing that to fix the income issue we just print money indefinitely until a cure comes out, and then restart the econ

Isn’t that the risk rent is supposed to ameliorate? Otherwise where is the risk of renting property that justifies a middleman?

> We're re-opening because we have to. We cannot realistically stay closed until a cure comes out. Why not? We have our own currency and have no qualms manipulating it to manipulate the stock market. We can communicate with other co

> Sometimes, when things come easy to people, they don't appreciate it. Holding people accountable helps them lift themselves up too. Yea I’m invoking Poe’s law on this coming from a landlord. Are you trolling?

Why are we reopening in the first place? What could be more predictable than this result? I hope the case succeeds. I can go onto amazon right now and by a game console. Why? What hope do we individuals have against business if this doesn’t

He said, “We still believe our strategy is good”. That’s a far cry from “he is not sure”.

It can if it loses mass, correct? Energy conservation would result in increased momentum.

Absolutely a good point. You can’t have “FaceTime” parties in the same way you can on zoom.

You’re absolutely right, that is a large part of why I keep using iOS. It’s also a very common exciting part of switching from android based on my own social circle.

So you would prefer to keep open exploits around and approach with security-by-obscurity? Somehow I think Apple can muster the resources to respond to vulnerabilities in exactly the same way you’re claiming they respond to open source explo

If ever Apple needed to open source server and client code for a public good it is with imessages. Yes it has clear limits with a centralized server, but it is realistically how a lot of “secure” messaging happens and it’s very difficult to

I believe it was the gentleman calling them “murderous criminals” that introduced this concept; obviously I would not consider a ritualistic cannibal to imply being a murderer and just don’t accept the “murderous” label.
