I don’t think it’s whataboutism if every country in the set does it. It’s just a part of being in the business of war. If you sell arms to resolve geopolitical conflict, you’ve eventually got blood on your hands no matter how much due dilig

Isn’t that part of the problem. It’s become a political class rather than pulling the best representatives of all facets of society.

This is absurdly selective. Are there any arms manufacturing countries, including the Saints in EU and US who haven’t sold arms to repressive regimes? You don’t even have to scratch the surface. Is Saudi Arabia a freedom loving democracy?

Wait so you’re saying the coin “safeMoon” is neither safe or going to the moon?

What is that? I’m finding it hard to think of the analogues between software and manufacturing. Your example of Hasura seems to be a company following the SV model

It’s spiritual, not psychological. I guess there are some connections between those two though

Video games are video games. You get real actual value out of the items you buy because it’s a virtual world. If I buy a flaming sword. I can actually take it and go hit enemies with it for fire damage and show it off prominently on my pers

I don’t understand the money laundering theory. There are a hundred liquid crypto assets to use for that. Big NFTs are high visibility and worthless so it’s the worst of all worlds

> Drugs are illegal for Americans to buy, sell, and produce. Are you seriously using the war on drugs as an example of a successful policy? Drugs are easier to get and more numerous than ever, even though we have these magical laws in pl

Wow, Seattle based company supports legal weed 8 years after WA legalized it. Golf clap

by redisman 5y ago
It’s extremely available already so there’s not a big market that’s just waiting for it to be legal and it’s not really an issue in states where it’s legal and easily accessible. Legal weed also enables manufacturing smokeless versions at s

Europe is exactly the same though. Majority of the countries/people don’t drink fancy wines for dinner but binge drink to party and forget about their troubles. Upper middle class in a few wine producing countries does not create a con

Eh yeah. “I’m so over educated I can’t relate to normal people anymore”. I miss David Foster Wallace. At least he understood humans. https://harpers.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/HarpersMagazi...

Hasn’t that been happening for a long time already? We’ve had social media and reality tv for over a decade now and plenty of people have fallen from their pedestal. The truth is that the cycle keeps getting more vapid and depersonalized so

You don't have to be rich to buy luxury goods. In fact most of them are bought by people who can't afford them but desperately want to own them. There's credit cards, parents, using all your disposable income on them since yo

I still love programming and if I wasn't working I'd be doing it as a hobby. But its halfway satiated/suppressed by the sheer amount of it I have to do every week now.

I just treat it as a fancy resume and Rolodex for people I very rarely talk to but sometimes might need to professionally. There’s no reason you ever need to interact with the news feed

The special problem with Sr Engineer is that it’s most people’s title from year 5 to year 40. If you keep improving in your craft then it can be a very wide band. I for one have no interest in being a tech lead or a staff engineer as all th

The concepts are also linked together. Having lots of money automatically means having high status unless you actively reject it. If you think you don't have status but have lots of money then you merely need to go to places that only

Just the fact that his mom moved from India to NYC is a giant multiplier on ones chance of financial success. Some might even call that.. luck?

That dream was scrapped for parts by Reagan et al. It’s ridiculous to blame the millennials- the first generation (ever?) in the US to be worse off than their predecessors economically.
