Relative poverty (social exclusion from economic activity) is more important than absolute poverty (low level of consumption).

> Founder and former CEO Ryan Breslow posted a fiery Twitter thread accusing notable startup accelerator Y Combinator of “Mob Sh*t” and being corrupted by “money, power, and greed.” (Breslow stepped down as CEO for the company just days later.)

haha what

> The Pi 4 needs 3 Amps for stable operation, though it can run at lower power. A computer's USB 3.0 port provides only 0.9 Amps and USB 2.0 provides only 0.5 Amps [...]

> To solve this problem, I worked with an engineering firm to create a custom circuit board that splits the Pi's USB-C port into two. The first port accepts USB power, so you can still deliver a full 3 Amps to the Pi. The second accepts USB data out, so the Pi can still impersonate a USB keyboard.

OK, but this makes it sound like the Pi is just the wrong computer for the task. Surely there's some other SBC that just has native external power and can do USB OTG.

> a seedy area with lots of violence going on

E.g. America.

A contemptible moral failing.

Subservient lapdog attitude toward corporations is a modern thing not a generic property of "society."

If feeling things actually took up time, you'd be making some sense, but as it is...

You can easily put numbers on it, lots of polling data. But from your memory just look at how there are "red states" and "blue states" -- they clearly don't correspond to personal life trajectory in the way stated. Political attitudes very clearly reproduce as culture, like language.

I'm not giving examples just citing these popular phrases which exist to note the phenomenon.

What's your excuse for getting the meaning wrong

That's not remotely true. Political conservatism and social radicalism demonstrably don't correlate with personal experience in that way: children adopt the beliefs of their parents (and/or peers).

Hence "champagne socialists" and "temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

Just pretend that Teddy doesn't have leukemia. Tell the doctor you don't believe in western medicine. Buy a homeopathic healing crystal (it's just a grain of sand). Deny the reality, deny the feelings. Problem solved.

...and even the richest people will deny the reality of that through their religion.

I'm not getting your point with these questions. Someone who is a victim of an assault may be "on guard" or "hyper-vigilant" for some time afterward. I can remember such an instance in my own life after I was robbed at gunpoint in a foreign country.

Someone who is a victim of repeated assaults during childhood is very likely to tend toward hyper-vigilance their entire lifetime (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_post-traumatic_stress_...) but that's not me.

The death of a loved one is another instance when one may be tempted to feel bereft.

That's not an accurate recounting of what I said, but I guess it's one that aids you!

Yeah if you slap a billionaire in the face, he may succumb to the temptation to feel like he was slapped in the face.

I still say, the best way to avoid that feeling is not to be slapped in the face. Just my personal preference.

To assess thoughts according to whether they "aid you," not whether they accurately reflect reality, strikes me as contemptible and weak.

The best way not to feel like a victim, is not to be a victim.

It wasn't claimed to be.

You are still buying into the assumption that this person is not "successful" just because they said luck is more important than these abilities.

1. You're projecting all of that. You're even assuming the person you're talking to is not "successful" with no basis whatsoever.

2. You're misusing "sour grapes" -- you don't know what it means.

3. You're hyphenating "sour grapes" -- you don't know how it's spelled.

Welcome to Earth.

Was just trying to make a joke about confirmation bias.

Even with an infinitely fast client computer, the server shouldn't accept infinite ticks from one player before processing ticks from another.

If you are really creating things no one sees, how come I never see you doing it?

You're not even being honest about what I said.

I don't know why you're bringing my emotions into it.

I don't think Discord should exist, and the fact that it's a commercial product shaped by the economic self-interest of one company is the reason it's so bad.

You talk about it like the commercial motives actually justify the negative properties. "Someone's making money! How can you object??"

>When Discord rolls out a new feature, you can trust it to work for everyone on day one.

If they have a supported up-to-date browser, yeah...

>There is no querying available features for the other side

Right. If your browser isn't on the short list, it just isn't supported. Want to access discord from a tty over ssh? Go fuck yourself, not supported. Want to access it through your custom text-to-speech system? Go fuck yourself, not supported.

Of course, you wouldn't have such ideas in your head in the first place, if you were capable of listening to other people.
