But can you see how your comment is unfortunate giving the context of the discussion? We all saw the context of OPs use of words, so I have no idea what it is that you were trying to add to the conversation.

How much time spent diagnosing the problem, researching the fix, and finding the right part? Also, what about the time spent learning all the info and knowledge necessary to be able to do the above? There is always more to the cost equation

For everyone to know, Instagram does this too in a way. They would let me sign up with just an email, verify it, then at first login auto ban me. Giving me the option of appealing and tracking said appeal by giving them a phone number. The

One could argue that it's "cosmically inherent" that something you earn through your own labor (of the body that you control/own?) should be yours do with as you please, so long as it doesn't hurt others. If you can

How can they? There is no way to know what a certain knob will do N-levels down the line. They're essentially "playing" against the collective brain and will power of millions of smart and motivated individuals, and all the m

In GP's example, capitalism has made food production cheaper and less labor intensive so that more people can get it, relatively. But for me, your example is capitalism in the sense that people do it of their own free will. They give u

If the "standard" for poor is changing over time, then the goal of eradicating poverty can never be achieved. For me, it has to be static: Basic shelter, food, health, and safety. It's a set of criteria that I believe most re

Can definitely second this. I know dark mode is hip and all that atm, but it does not play well with (my) astigmatism. At least go for one of those dark or medium grey ish color schemes.

It's getting very serious. I created an fresh anon Instagram account using a cellphone number that I used with FB. And voila, someone I know is a recommended for me to follow on Instagram. They have no shame. And no one is holding them

Not everyone has eyes, on-average, the same as yours. E.g. I have astigmatism and dark-mode (crisp bright lines/dots on dark backgrounds) wreck absolute havoc on my ability to focus and read. And promoting "dark mode is good no ma

This is such an easy argument to throw around. Almost no way to disprove it or address it, and basically sweeps responsibility away from current failings. Newsflash to you though, there is plenty of cheap labour still floating around in SA.

None of what you described is a consequence of capitalism and all a consequence or stupid government policies. Capitalism didn't force them to sell those properties for peanuts, nor did capitalism force onerous regulations to be put in

For reference, here in South Africa, it's about 250$ per day of hospitalization. Or 1500$ for ICU hospitalization per day. And we have private Healthcare here.

This is on the spot for me. I went this route so I could make actual decisions. Otherwise in most cases I'm just a glorified ticket closer in an assembly line with the design given to me on a platter.

Wow. Imagine a popular OSS author having the opposite viewpoints as you and publicly espousing it on HN. I can't think of one, wonder why. No wonder you guys are all upset about this, the social gravy train is going away.

Coming from someone in the camp you rail against, and judging by the ups and down votes I've done in this thread, I'd say it's 50-50. But judging by how many grey and downvoted posts I've seen that I agree with or think
