>I do find it inspiring that we can "just" calculate our way out of some important issues. In the case of oil exploration, we can calculate our way into some!

GP forgot to consider what life looks like outside of the “I have a Masters Degree in CS/Engineering” bubble.

You don’t think the two are linked? You can’t imagine seeing such a thing happening and coming to the conclusion that, not only does America not give a shit about you, it absolutely hates you and will do whatever it can to make a buck at yo

>America hopes it's relationship with countries like Saudi Arabia helps to liberalize them. US foreign policy is 100% not about this. If the US had no economic interests in keeping Saudi Arabia on its side, it wouldn't happen.

With all the fees that Uber tacks onto Uber Eats, I'm absolutely baffled that they could possibly be losing money on that service. That's just... insane.

I may be misunderstanding, but I think what GP was getting at is that people were blaming retail vacancies on crime/riots, but that position has become impossible to defend, so now we can talk about the actual reasons. I think you and

Is it not myopic or selfish for my neighbors to insist that I shouldn’t be able to afford a home because of their precious investment?

People with those Macs and the M1 are the most likely to be considering an upgrade.

Crying about other people not putting the community for something they created on your preferred site is a bad look. You should reconsider what you're doing right now.

It's also prohibitively expensive and takes over a year to get the experience and skills necessary to safely do.

If they had taken action then fewer people would have undoubtedly got swept up, yea, absolutely 100%. I have to say though, “I don’t think it would’ve had much impact anyways so they should get a pass for knowingly profiting off of aiding

>Yes. They're called teachers. Talk to some. GP was asking for data and your provided anecdotes. It seems the issues in our education systems go back to when you were in them.

Regardless of whether the things you assert caused the genocide or not, there was a genocide ongoing and your free speech and rational argumentation is completely impotent to stop it.

GP isn’t asserting that. They’re saying that the the western establishment will gladly tolerate right wing authoritarian governments because they allow private companies to run roughshod over everyone in the name of profit.

by p_j_w 3y ago
Oh I misread, sorry. In that case you’re completely correct. The right holding up dictatorships like Chiang Kai Shek, Pinochet, and Park regimes as being good are all great examples.

The fact that you lack the ability for creativity and nuance to such a degree that you scream “HAH, Stalin!” anytime someone criticizes the free market says more about you than the point you’re arguing against.

The free market has spoken, and it will gladly accept helping encourage a genocide in the name of profits.

This is an absurd proposition. How is one supposed to think critically when there's nowhere to go for reliable information? We'll be left just taking shots in the dark, what little amount of informed reasoning we had before will b

>Nothing in "fair use" is about the new work making money or not. This is completely wrong, at least in the US. It is explicitly laid out in the law that whether the new work is commercial vs. not for profit/educational is

It's an intentional omission, the AirBnB CEO is trying to take everyone's eyes off the ball. He's trying to redirect your attention like a cheap magician.

You don't need to be a hustler or plugged in with local polls to get away with running a shoddy AirBnB, the site will happily let you do it and the space is completely unregulated.

>They're private, let them do what they want. Have you also bitched about private schools not being allowed to use affirmative action for admissions, or were you only too happy to read about the courts interfering with that as well?
