Some of us may never adjust to a world without sweat equity.

I disagree with you in the other thread, so I want to balance that by saying that I strongly agree with you here.

This is a false dichotomy. Laborers could just as easily invest in job-creating endeavors as passive income earners. All taxes cause economic drag, not _just_ business and investment income taxes. The economy includes every participant, and

I had the same reaction. It also seems easy to pull apart. What about disabled people who are unable to work? I think something more like "investment income should be taxed at a higher rate than income earned through labor," accom

+1 for restic. ZFS snapshots + restic backups to backblaze for my homeserver. My secret sauce is a healtchecks.io instance that blows up my phone if ZFS scrubs throw any errors, when local snapshots fail, or when restic checks or backups fa

I don't get the impression that anyone writing about this thinks it's legal. I think the argument would be that it's justified.

I thought his repeated use of the phrase "ordinary people" instead of something like "laypersons" was a little telling about how he views himself and the members of his industry. The opposite of ordinary is, of course, e

I can't help but think the most plausible scenarios are the ones that have a little less machine supremacy and a little more human stupidity. The Matrix is less plausible than WarGames.

I made hundreds of cards to get me through the ACR core exam, and I'll be teaching my kids to make cards when it's time for them to do intensive memorization. Paper is just fine, but I think this is a situation where digital is be

I also experienced vertigo, but I'm particularly prone to vertigo induced by 3D scenes. Still, I think this is the first time a screen as small as my phone did it.

That is very accurate sphygmomanometry!

Agreed and then some. It's a decent thought experiment, but I think the lesson would be why housing (and many social problems) are so difficult to solve. But, the original tweet seems to frame it more like, "Why haven't we do

It's odd to me that concerns about equity are cited as the reason to get rid of a swimming requirement because some institutions discovered that the students who didn't know how to swim were predominantly non-white. I think it&#x2

There is a point beyond which the probability of finding meaningful content is too low to justify the work required to find it. Beyond this point, limiting yourself means never trying. The juice ain't worth the squeeze.

The "About" and "Leadership" sections of the website show that there is government involvement, and the "Funding Partners" section shows that the CEC (a state government entity) is providing funding.

Thank you for this comment. I think your perspective helps me understand one of the examples I had in mind.

Of course! You do, however, require some minimal quantity to use contraception. It's worth mention that the examples I have in mind also weren't bad fathers. They were just secretly regretful and resentful.

by overtone1000 2mo ago
Ha! It's more than contraception availability although that certainly is why I qualified my bafflement as being in regards to reasonably intelligent people. It's pretty easy to imagine how this could happen due to temporary or per

As someone who now identifies first and foremost as a father, it baffles me every time I meet a man who has means and intelligence but managed to end up a resentful parent. It's not that I can't understand the many reasons a perso

That would be true with or without AI. That isn't what happened here. Open source isn't just code, it's an idea, a public square, and a community. Fork a repo and customize to your heart's content? Go for it! Fork a repo
