corporateslaver··on Understanding schizophrenia: What exactly is schizophrenia?
I have a sibling who’s in and out of the mental hospital. It’s easy to show support in the early days, but ten years in when they still have psychotic breaks and most around them have given up is when the real test starts. Glad to hear your story and wish you the best. For myself I’ve vowed to never forget the person who was there before the illness. You still see the glimpses here and there

corporateslaver··on Big fish are found deep not because of age, climate, or prey, but because of us
It points to a hard fact about what kind of things cause environmental destruction but are also massive improvements for humanity. The picture painted where environmental destruction is superfluous is completely wrong and disingenuous.

Sarcasm?
corporateslaver··on Big fish are found deep not because of age, climate, or prey, but because of us
I’m saying enough with these lamentations about the environment, would these people rather be living in the woods? It’s complete nonsense. Destroying the environment has been a necessary step to human evolution.
corporateslaver··on Big fish are found deep not because of age, climate, or prey, but because of us
That’s what happens when you have this many people. For the kind of population growth, it’s either we stop having so many people, or the animals die. It’s us or them. Why is this so hard to understand? No amount of talking points and musing on environmentalism will take away those facts of human existence.

How could the industrial boom in China or the USA in the late 1800s and early 1900s have happened without emvironmental destruction? How can growth happen in China now without it? Get real about human development and the necessities of human development.

corporateslaver··on China is winning the global tech race
Over Half of the Japanese stock market is owned by the government bank. The whole economy is a shell propped up by quantitative easing financial policies.

Great drones. We have google, they have cheap manufacture produced drones.

I keep hearing “China is coming”, “they will have more”, ....

It never comes to fruition. That have a massive population supported by manufacturing wages that will all lose jobs when automation takes over.

corporateslaver··on China is winning the global tech race
Look at Japan, their economy has been stagnant since the 80s, propped up by government market manipulation. They are almost completely irrelevant. Which innovative companies does China have that aren’t complete rip offs of American ones? Where is the penetration by those companies into the USA?
corporateslaver··on China is winning the global tech race
This is propaganda. China is mostly an uneducated factory nation who will be crushed by automation. Articles like this are great for clicks on a website.

Edit: which Chinese tech companies are actually dominant? All of them are copies of American tech companies propped up by their government. Where is the market penetration into the USA? Where is the competition? There is none.

corporateslaver··on Ask HN: Tips on coping with my quarter-life crisis
I use to glorify traveling around the world. I would dream about it from my corporate job. Then an opportunity arose to travel while working for two months. I did that and had a great time. But then I realized I don’t really care about traveling the world, two months was enough. And so I was lucky I didn’t quit my job and do that. Most likely you need to fix how you currently live, not in a drastic move to another country way, but get a new job, new apartment and new friends.
corporateslaver··on Ask HN: What have been your best decisions in life?
Being ruthless about removing people from my life who are bringing me down, or who have a view of me that may be accurate, but is pessimistic.
corporateslaver··on What does social science have to offer the data industry?
In some ways couldn’t that be considered social engineering through ai? If the training set shows bias and this so does the algorithm, it’s a reflection of reality. Manually changing the algorithm to influence society on a grand scale is dystopian. It’s a dangerous path that sounds humanitarian but is really authoritarian.
