>How do you know what a non-wasteful allocation of those valuable resources is without truth? In a post-truth world, any allocation of resources is acceptable.

No, we learn how to adapt to a world where truth is not relevant.

I hesitate to go for such a stereotypical choice, but my Steam Deck has absolutely added value to my life. I found it hard to sit in front of a computer at a desk after doing that for 8+ hours at work, so I found myself just mindlessly scro

>I never thought of Valve as big enough to require contractors. I don't think this is as simple as "require contractors". It's more along the lines of compensating specific people to work on specific things.

By living on unincorporated land, they wouldn't have been subject to the tax that pays for the fire department (which would be county level or city level I'm guessing?)

I've posted some really funny tweets. I'm content with that being my life's work.

Yes, or at least I was until I remembered those making decisions are mostly older and more at risk of death or issues from contracting covid.

More and more, I continue to be shocked that countries in this position didn't end up letting covid run its course. Seems like after some initial difficulties, it could have helped balance their demographics a lot.

Most of us probably have a job description with a list of duties or something along those lines. But I've come to realize that certain circumstances notwithstanding (unions, etc), it's just a farce. Most people's actual job i

Correct. The only way to actually bring about change is to make sure the ones with the power to change things feel the pain associated with their decisions.

This is such an absurd suggestion that I'm convinced it's intended to sour public perception of UBI.

If they "Let people who are qualified to manage do the managing" then they wouldn't be in this position to begin with.

It's certainly preferable that I were never born. But suicide is not the same as never having been. Right now, the marginal utility of living another day is not always negative, but I expect that to change as my physical health deterio

Same here. The CSS that each Tailwind class corresponds to is very visible in the documentation itself.

You're overthinking it. Executives and managers quite literally want to see data that confirms their existing convictions and beliefs so they can act on those beliefs under the guise of it being "data-driven".

I think this inclination to be curious can still be apparent even when someone doesn't have the time to pursue that inclination. It will be more subtle, but I think it's something rather fundamental that applies in broad ways acro

I recently made a web app for myself as a hobby coding project. Part of what made it tolerable was not doing any of the stuff that makes the web apps I make at work more tedious, like audit logs or even an account system. It really hammers

>Tailwind is for people who don't want to learn CSS This reveals a fundamental misunderstanding on your part about Tailwind. Tailwind classes map very directly onto CSS properties. You can't use Tailwind effectively without kno

Some thoughts: 1. The blast radius appears to be very minimal, the affected github package has 0 stars, 2 contributers, 1 watcher and 4 issues total. 2. The issue was caught and resolved quickly (within a day?). 3. I haven't seen any e

We can disincentivize it substantially by replacing tax benefits for having kids with tax burdens for having kids, promoting family planning and making contraceptives free and easily accessible as possible, making childbirth and childrearin

Considering the time scales at which the other mass extinctions happened, I don't think it's reasonable to count that as separate from what's happening now. It might instead be better to rethink the whole thing as one somewha

That also happens on Mars as the ice (CO2) at the poles melts and re-forms with the seasons.

Z-Library was essentially a clone of LibGen with a more accessible UX and monetization. Though I believe they eventually solicited new material that was not fed back into LibGen.

Anything other than a 9-5 I guess? At some point if you run a business you may need to start taking laws and taxes seriously, but not everyone will get to that point. It's similar to the idea of paying a young server at a restaurant in
