Came here to ask similar questions/take a similar argumentative position. I don't know what in the eyes of cop is supposed to be communist about the current US social structure. I see (from the outside) modern feudalism and a soc

This is one of the most concise formulations of the topic I stumbled across in my time on this planet. Thanks. Already added it to my notes regarding systems, processes, system thinking and rules.

I couldn't agree more. Also this person scandalizing and stirring things up sounded to me like trying to weapponize public opinion for personal gain. I know from other, let's call the traditional, authors that classical book royal

This could (probably isn't) be a very quick implementation with a heuristic like 'if percentage of viewed videos from channel x (essentially per channel viewed) > threshold ==> show new video from channel x on homepage next

That is a cool project. And a great way to show her that it is quite easy to create something and put it out there. I love the site and the story behind it even more. Thanks for sharing. ps.: This reminded me of when my dad (in the early 9

But isn't that the exact point? That strong consumer protection enables business to earn money in a way that at least prohibits the worst behavior towards the consumers? So essentially what OP stated?

But couldn't it be that this specific behavior triggered a spam warning? I have no insight into Reddit regarding security, but would expect new/fresh and empty accounts under special scrutiny and when an account like that hops fro

Hi - i really liked it. I don't think anything could be read as offensive. "die benutzerdefinierte Elemente druckt" (druck = to print) Not sure if this is totally fitting. I think "die benutzerdefinierte Elemente darstel

I already would find it taxing to write a well structured and complex answer like the original comment. I would need to go back and forth, edit, change the order of sentences and the like. And I am perfectly capable of doing this with my ey

I could not agree more. I still find it difficult to talk about me providing services to others. I find it difficult, but once I do the pipeline opens up. I was actually overwhelmed last year (my first as a freelancer on the side) and will

This was my process in school when compiling cheat sheets (Spickzettel in German). It took at least two rounds condensing the information down onto such a small note. Often more. After that I didn't need them for the test. I only later

Just linking my own comment (for others) with the inflation numbers for the same period being a factor of 5.2 times. Not only 1.5 times like the median income: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30325835

Thanks. This helps. While Chained Income grew sevenfold, median income grew by a factor of 1.5 from 1975 to today. While for one 1975 dollar you would need to invest 5.22 today's dollars because of inflation [1]. So today the median in

The level of evidence about eggs was spurious at best even in the 80ies. As with a lot of food science preliminary studies and ideas get overblown in media. But at least the scientists I know would wait for the level of evidence to be high.

Taxes are theft? I never heard this line of reasoning. Care to explain? How would a government pay for protection, infrastructure, education, and a lot of other things governments provide to their citizens?

So the company should have let the error pass and not answer with additional legal threats? Or should Doctorow just ignored the not so thinly veiled (and wrongly made) threats. Should a journalist not call into question wrong conduct by a c

If I read Doctorow correctly he implies that people shelling out content creation and using outdated licenses in the hope of people making attribution mistakes might be their target clientele. These might not be negatively impacted by this
