Is there some magical utopian profession where people want to pay for tooling? Like, I'm sure there are people/groups who spend more on tools, like say, all the plumbers and carpenters buying $600 dewalt drills or whatever, but

You're not wrong, exactly, but also people are justifiably mad at flock's existence and as a result articles like this get written. Perhaps there is a perfect world where every article is "better" than this, but this one

What a boringly reductive take. It's not like hackernews is some amazing bastion of like, optimism and culture and interesting conversation, but surely we can do better than this?

Tried reading your comment but ran into a lack of usable information.

I agree, any book that is liked by more than one other person is a crime against artistry and a moral failing.

> If you have separate state on the client that needs to be managed, you are going to have a bad time regardless of framework. Yeah, because clients never need to keep track of state like which block is expanded or which tab is selected

My point isn't that they're unrelated, my point is that mass extinctions aren't unprecedented.

Are volcanos natural occurrences? Meteors? Earthquakes floods and fires? Are humans natural? It's a pointless distinction, "nature" is plenty fully of destruction and extinction without humans ever being involved.

But since my ancestor is from there also I'm allowed to determine who is allowed to be there right?

Maybe we'll all eat our words and cryptocurrencies will actually become useful for something.

I have an ancestor who was born there, it's now my country.

What? Since when? What are you talking about?

Don't vague post. Either be specific with names and examples and citations or don't waste our time with generalities about unnamed bad people who did some unspecified bad thing.

Ok I'm not going to try breaking it but my intuition says it would break the cable first, not the port?

How do you "wear out" a usbc port? Is this phone like 15 years old? My imagination is boggled.

If apple had made lightning an actual standard everyone was using then the eu might have chosen that instead. But they didn't. Every single other company/device was using usb(c) and it probably wasn't because of some kind if

I think you might need to brush up on your historical studies. There's no such thing as a generic "feudal serf" that applied across multiple cultures and times. People who might qualify for the label "serf" had all

I agree about the company stores thing, but it's pretty common (right now in america) for someone to work at a factory, that they do not own, and live in a house, that they also do not own. The distinction between that and some kind of

That did occasionally happen but I don't think it was the majority case by any means. That being said, if we're talking about the lord owning the mill you labor at, how is that different than tesla owning the car factory you work

The article literally brags about how loud the car is (and makes it sound likr it was modified to be louder?) so it seems like a reasonable point to take issue with. Fortunately or unfortunately, driving a car is a public activity and even

I would more simply define that as "wealth inequality" rather than capitalism (or more broadly, power inequality) and perhaps go on to say that the real problem is that, while you can't realistically prevent/remove all

Just as a thought experiment, would you say there are any (societal) negatives to the possibility of thr price of bananas (or the share price of spacex) being able to fluctuate wildly based on semi-abstract economic manipulations, like shor
