Just absolutely loving that TISM is popping up here. They’re the first thing I thought of in this thread too.

I think part of Patreon’s value-add is solving these issues. And it’s not like this is unprecedented. In the music world there are artists who are anonymous but when you buy a record you’re buying it from retailer which is where you go if t

Sure Japan has some weird anachronisms but everyone pays for buses and trains using contactless transit cards, just like most rich countries. And lots of people just use Apple Wallet on their phone or watch. Likewise, there are many differe

Second best French would be in the UK, I’d say. Second best Indian food would depend on which regional cuisine but I’d say the UK or Malaysia would come before the US. Second best Turkish is probably Germany. Second best Thai and Greek is p

Where is capital involved? Capitalism is not the only form of open market economy.

This looks great. Stores are one of the unexpected pleasures of Svelte and this seems like it will extend them both in terms of power and also grokability

Yes, false accusations are indeed a bad thing. But the point is that people choosing to no longer associate with you is very different to people forcing you to live in a cage under the threat of violence. Both are unpleasant. One is worse.

Yes but the courts are legally empowered to lock someone in a cage for years. So they should be working by a different standard than a company firing someone.

Figma is a good example. Likewise, many games. Google Sheets? GIS apps? Probably the next big things in both DAWs and video editing will be in the browser too…

So effectively beef is the key driver of tropical deforestation.

This kind of shallow dismissal could only be posted by someone who hasn’t spent much time thinking about economics, or thinking about why Marx remains one of the most relevant and influential theoreticians amongst people who do spend a lot

I have a friend who was a historian and now works as a data analyst for a SEO agency and makes more than double their previous salary. They had no particular expertise in SEO or data beyond being able to use Excel and being able to think an

Which western country do you have in mind where it might be worse to be a prisoner than the US?

Shoutout for 101 East, which does some excellent reportage on a bunch of underreported East Asian and south East Asian topics.

I don’t have a horse in this race and I’m not a gamer (although I used to be) and I also find it strange that gamers don’t prefer NFTs over the standard skins/cosmetics market. I can totally understand why developers and publishers pre

Yes. The board of Twitter did not appear to want to be bought by Musk and refused his initial advances. But when it became clear he was serious and willing to commit legally to paying a premium for the company they could hardly say no. At f

Twitter wasn’t great, but it wasn’t a dumpster fire. I think the evidence is clear that the previous shareholders sold because Musk was (initially) prepared to massively overpay, not because they didn’t like the business. If they didn’t lik

Maybe this is covered in part 3, but some towns have a municipal onsen water service for private households. I was recently talking to a real estate agent in southern Kyushu who said that every household in his town could pay 3000yen per mo

What does an honest solution positions could come up with that would be accepted by a large majority of the voting public look like? In your opinion what should they be doing? Edit: because another way to view the lens you dismiss is “how m

But isn’t BEM or a custom system of CSS variables strictly worse in this regard? Instead of knowing what class=“mb-4” means in Tailwind, they now need to know what class=“news-button” means in your specific application.

Why do you want to separate the CSS and HTML? They’re both style info, especially in component design.

Interesting, I’d say music is a clear counterexample. I’m nostalgic for the 90s as well, but there is so much more great, diverse and wonderful music being made now than ever before. Even finding it isn’t really that hard, either.

I think that’s mostly my point. GP release source code, presumably under a license that permitted this use. It’s okay to not be happy that it was used this way… but that’s life

by zztop44 3y ago
If you release source code under a FOSS license doesn’t that specifically mean that you explicitly consent to it being used in ways you might not be fine with?

It depends, I guess? If someone was going around offering anyone $10m to beat up a pregnant woman, then yeah I’d say they are the main person to blame if a pregnant woman gets beat up as a result. Again, that’s not to say that the person wh

I mean, it depends? Is there a good reason? How bad is the lie? Who am I lying to? Am I at risk of being fired if I don’t? Do I really need the job or not so much? Why? Do you never ever lie?
207.
by zztop44 3y ago
No it’s not. If the shitty company at your shitty job pays you to lie to people it is a matter of corporate policy. Of course the individual has some responsibility, but the corporation has more.

Why would Japan’s immigration policy be decried as racist? Just because the low raw numbers of total immigrants and (especially) refugees? Or is there something else?
