Just pay for the more expensive seat. The cheaper it is to travel the more people will do it, a definite plus in my book! You pay all the time for being tall, short, old... I don't see why flying should be any different. Perhaps becaus

There are so many small traits like that they could have shared. This is anecdotal evidence e.g. not very good base for extrapolation. Imo atleast...

Break the feedback loop. Keep trusting, keep being fair to everyone. That means not allowing people to break the rules of society due to their personal beliefs but enforcing laws above board. No "shadowbanning" (unlawful arrests)

The containment is driving the feedback loop thereby keeping us from improving the situation. We need to take a leap of faith in order to break it. Like others have said the damage this is causing is mostly mental. The number of random (I m

surveillance is not a solution to the problem it merely suppresses it. Treating symptoms is never as useful as treating the underlying cause.

Growing pains, people were angry before tech. Now that the world is connected we have to deal with these problems. One thing is for sure, marginalizing and discriminating even more is not a solution.

Making sure everyone has something to lose means making sure everyone has fulfilling lifes they'd rather not jepordize with hostility. The us and them mentality being used to "combat" terrorism is so harmful because it puts p

Why are we talking about this as a conspiracy to incite distrust in governments? It's just what it says it is; "techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of an internet forum". It doesn't matter where it came fro

I'm hoping neovim will be able to adapt these ideas in the future. They're addressing all the hardcoded parts so it should be possible to make any of these with an addon / some nvimrc magic.

This is actually perfect, I've switched to neovim anyway so treating old vim like a haskell IDE is fine.

As soon as I learned to start every interaction in the CLI with the word 'help' I became many orders of magnitude more proficient with it. Good CLI programs have a relatively straightforward path from 'help' to where you

Well that sucks. But when faced with problems the only option is to find a solution.

I think this is a symptom of all the 'technical debt' we have as a society/species in law, morals and other 'difficult' things. That quote about the future (It's already here - just not evenly distributed) is a

Sure, but that's sort of the point. They are attractive but if you have access to something better then you'd rather be doing that. Edited for clarity

Then the system needs to reflect that. If it weren't for open source it would be impossible to compete with established proprietary software companies. 'Proprietary licenses' should expire and become open just like copyright

Do you know of more initiatives like PHPmentoring? (which he mentions in the article). I like knowing about all the options :) Thanks P.S. While it is helpful to see suggestions on how his perspective could still be improved its also good t

That's why the 'we' I was referring to doesn't include them.

I could not agree more with this. We need to figure out a way of making a more united front in this war. Its crazy how hard it is to reach people regarding the danger of all this surveillance, I feel completely drowned out.
