The workers could leave. Or they could unionize and attempt to improve their employment conditions. Maybe it will work. Maybe the company will fire them and replace them with other workers. But I have to imagine that the workers’ own asse

I agree. The comparison with Facebook’s TOS just shows that Facebook has put more time into their TOS to obtain the same legal rights without sounding as scary. That said, the TOS for social media platforms should be explicit and easy to un

I don’t see how this is a good argument? Yes, it’s someone else’s computers. That they rent me by the month or the hour or the second through a programmatic interface. That’s exactly the product I want. And it’s not surprising that it has o

I think language is a much bigger barrier than any purported hostility to immigration. Japanese visa laws are actually relatively open.

For someone else, eating meat or taking international holidays might strike them as a large-carbon-footprint way of living.

Of course pension funds are a big part of any large-cap company’s shareholder base. But I wouldn’t be surprised if on a proportional basis LVMH’s customers are less well off than their shareholders.

Unfortunately, you were mistaken.

Why misguidedly, in your view?

Fair enough, that makes sense. I’d clocked there was a language toggle to the English version but didn’t think to remove the path. Thanks for the heads up!

Surprised there’s not a Cyrillic version. As far as I know, most Mongolian people can’t fluently read that script. Edit: Apparently the government is pushing for increased use of the Mongolian alphabet in official documents.

Once your spend is high enough to get an account rep things get ooookaay. But in general the ad tools are bloated, buggy and loaded with dark patterns. And have been from the beginning. Most serious advertisers and agencies use expensive th

Thanks for taking the time to summarize it. Sounds like interesting stuff

Can you share the research on this topic? If I understand you correctly what you’re saying is very different to my experience (and how popular sites like Wikipedia etc work). So I’d like to read the research. I’ve tried to google a bit but

Kind of? Certainly many countries “fetishize” American culture, to a degree. Same with French and Italian culture (especially as it relates to fashion and food). Some stuff is just popular? Certainly things related to Korean and Japanese cu

Depends on the business. Some are definitely an extreme version of “caring about the results of our actions but having no meaningful control over those outcomes” but some are very different.

For $400k a year I’d be okay with it yeah

But other elements, such as a wage labor market and global trade not being dominated by mercantilist states, are more recent. In any case, 400 years is relatively recent in terms of economic history.

Capitalism is not a synonym for market economy. Capitalism is not the natural state of an economy. Like communism, it is a mode of political economy which emerged relatively recently, and if history is any guide it will be replaced by somet

Sorry, but it sounds like you’re saying that allowing the “wrong” type of immigrant is what causes violence and using Cronulla as evidence? Cronulla was a one-off event almost 20 years ago, was extremely shocking and out of the ordinary, an

Nazi and antifa are not equivalents in any way whatsoever. I think the only equivalence you might find is that both tendencies are somewhat open to the concept of political violence? But beyond that, banning nazi content while allowing anti

To provide an alternative perspective, I’m a self taught dev and use the same 5 git commands every day - but I’m not happy with that and I always feel intimidated and lost when I have to step outside of my git comfort zone. I think this i

Depends what you mean by “argument”. I wouldn’t say the Socratic dialogues resemble Twitter.

But of course, that misses the nuance. Lots of US-based readers come from Ukraine, have friends or family in Ukraine, or friends or family in Russia or another neighbouring country. Of course, that might be fine if your media hypothetical o

There will be times when those principles are in tension, yes, but they’re not contradictory. Bandcamp is created by workers. In most instances, what’s best for the workers as a collective is also what’s best for Bandcamp as a company.

In general people are only slowly figuring out uses for these new LLMs. But with a bit of creativity, jailbroken ones could act as a bank employee for phishing/customer service scams, lower the cost/effort of harassment campaigns,
