I think you vastly underestimate what "skinny vegan teenagers in black clothes" are capable of to an almost comically ignorant level. Not only is it a complete misrepresentation of the average "antifa-er" it also mischar

Certainly the jobs that were around for bespoke compilers were eliminated with the unification of compilers (GCC, Microsoft Visual C++). How many of those people transitioned to other roles I don't know. But the number of compiler jobs

Completely serious question here: is it still price gouging if they're one of a few players in town? Information asymmetry is only valuable if you can execute on it. All of your examples are actually examples of both asymmetry and mark

I think the author nailed it in the second paragraph. All of the rest is just speculative navel gazing. I'll speak for myself as that part really resonated with my experience the first time through college. It was a compounding of a lo

> A rumor on Facebook said a farmer was giving away his potatoes. By sunrise, 150 tons of his hard-earned work had disappeared. I don't know if you can blame the viral post itself. This has been my experience with humans in general.

I grew up with a lot of ultra-processed foods and these days have found several places where I can get good quality food. I am fortunate to live in an area with a decent farmer's market "community" and some bespoke shops. Gen

A hot exhaust could cause a fire in the woods during dry conditions. Would you consider this malicious behavior if you idled your car to take a photo and something smoldered you didn't notice? Negligent perhaps, but malicious?
