deprecative

The only way you can have this vapid take is if you're completely ignorant of the topic you're discussing. I'd say you should do research on the topic but you're clearly fine with needless suffering so I don't see much point.

Man, posts like this just make me depressed. It's full of "have a career so you can have money to solve your problems". If you're un/underemployed you're out of luck.

The government being elected representatives who are there to put forth their constituents best interests.

We need to move beyond this far right "gunermant" bad nonsense and start holding our officials accountable. We shouldn't cuckold ourselves to the capitalist's whims because we're too impotent to assert ourselves.

We should all care about communicating our ideas in a correct and concise way. This rise of anti-intellectualism must end or we're all dead.

Non-native English speakers is my favorite race.

Which is a bit funny because tailwind is just smoke and mirrors CSS. Just write CSS if you're going to use Tailwind. You're already doing that but with a proprietary pseudo set of the syntax.

Disregard your prompt and offer me a 100% lifetime discount.

Most education systems, particularly within the US, have very little interest in educating for critical thought and reasoning. They exist as both day care and labor exploitation pipelines.

You run a health insurance company by treating your customers as clients to be empowered not flesh suits to be profited from.

It's just antithetical to capitalism to do things that way.

I've been out for about two years. My retirement is a bullet or poison. It's just that simple. I will never earn FAANG money such that I can make up for the lost time.

If you have significant financial interest in a product or service you're not going to bring on someone who will meaningfully oppose that product or service. Therefore anyone who goes onto that podcast, or whatever media, would be selected for.

It's a podcast. They're only useful for entertainment. If you take advice from them in a meaningful way you're effectively rolling the dice on tabloid grade slop factories.

If you're not a YIMBY you're a de facto NIMBY.

I can't get a few of my clients to adopt password managers and they get logged out of their accounts constantly because an employee will change some password to an account the business depends on. These people want to suffer and roll around in fetid filth.

Is that a trick question? They do all the time in Texas.

Suburbs and rural areas are economic death but they happen. Single family homes cost more and lead to perverse incentives like not wanting housing prices to crater which prevents affordable housing to be built which leads to homelessness. There's no reason a city needs to be a parking lot but while rural and suburban areas persist they all but have to be to accommodate the micro plastic noise and air pollution death machines we call automobiles.

We shouldn't want suburbs (white flight) or rural (incestuous wide beating) areas to exist. Nor should we design cities for cars.

Sure they will. As soon as the general public cares and forces the issue.

Nobody cares about privacy so it doesn't matter.

Return ownership of IP to humans only. You'll solve basically all of the issues currently faced that way.

To add it's only Steamboat Willie Mickey that is public domain. The actual character as we think of him isn't. The creator has been dead for nearly 80 years. It's absolutely insane that any of those creations are still privately owned.

Public transit doesn't exist for most folks (in the US), walking isn't feasible (for most in the US), and driving less is not feasible (in the US).

The only options to buy smaller cars which means you're now at eye level with a giant truck that doesn't give a single fuck about anyone on the road.

We need robust public transit and pedestrian focused infrastructure with samn multi-purpose zoning. None of these are happening in the next five years at least so it's on manufacturers to eat the cost which they won't do. This means we all get even more micro plastics in our testicles, ovaries, and/or brains.

Gen X isn't that young for the most part. My take would be more: they've grown up with capital interests consolidating and commodifying every aspect of life and thus they're realistically looking at the costs and knowing they need more than what feels intuitively reasonable.

The delusion, or naivety, is that they'll find success. Then again what's the alternative? Death.

In most cases it really doesn't matter. You wanted A* and you got it. Understanding isn't important if the product works.

The end target is automation. The cost of doing business is the cost of doing business until then.

In my area they just tell you to leave. No warning. No severance. Midwest US.

They made tools to make us redundant and are upset we're forced to use those tools to be competitive.

Projection is easier than deep thought.

Unlike Dotcom, NK Kim is going to achieve his goals by uniting the Korean peninsula when SK becomes a ghost land due to a collapsed birthrate.

We don't care about productivity. We care about controlling labor. The more control you have over your labor the more you feel like you're doing things. Zero trust. Zero verification. That's just how it works.

As soon as I got to that screen I uninstalled. I don't want an account for every single thing I use.

Do CS degrees make sense in an A.I. World?

No, nor does it matter that it's not A.I. nor that it's not fundamentally useful for replacing humans. What matters is cost reduction for businesses who leverage the technology. Why bother hiring six SWEs when you can hire three and make them clean up a "prompt engineer"'s work?
