wait a second, is this why i typically send 10 messages per 1 coherent thought? i learned how to type too well?

I'd wager this is the case for most American cities if you are coming here from Seoul

If you live in the Sunset you most likely have a car.

the union is literally called 'the international brotherhood of teamsters'. what else do you expect them to be called?

I majored in econ. Friedman is as mainstream as it gets. Not sure why your econ courses ignored the guy. He made quite a few appearances in my 200 and 300 level courses.

Had a static ip address for a few years, lol

The linked affidavit has more of the interesting details. Looks like the agent worked with the guy's ISP and a well-known crypto exchange to do some old fashioned IP tracing.

You are referring to democratic centralism, which is a form of democracy.

He did in fact have lots of qualms. The history of the various Communist Internationals are all about left/right wing conflict within the party. Even during the revolution there was constant dissent and debate, which some might regard as healthy - until the right-wing of the party (Stalin & friends) laid waste to democratic processes.

If data exists on historical growth between single-family homes vs townhouse vs condo, it would be quite interesting to show here. Since SFH are not being built in certain metro areas anymore their prices seem to rise dramatically faster than space-efficient property.

This all depends on geography though. Buying in the bay area and only staying for 2.01 years could get you a pretty hefty ROR assuming you don't remodel anything, considering the supply constraints. Maybe covid & remote work will change that.

According to whom? There is a pretty strict definition of means of production, as it was labeled by Marx & Engels, and 'bureaucracy' as a concept isn't it.

Adding on to this: there is no rough equivalent to Lenin capturing the railroads in the USA, at all. The bourgeoise have controlled the means of production from 1776 til now.

Who owns amazon fulfillment centers? Who owns media companies? Who owns airlines? If it ain't the workers, then nobody has seized the means of production.

Pretty sure the user is making sock puppet accounts because I also see this link elsewhere on this thread... wish I had the power to report it.

Seize the means of production...? That has an actual meaning and I don't think that's what you're describing. I assure you that hasn't happened in the US yet. The means of production have generally been controlled by the ruling elite since the founding of the nation.

I disagree that the unstated assumption is eternal preservation of all writing. IMO the author is clearly focusing on official or semi-official published information, not necessarily what you and I write on places like HN.

It's an Atlantic article so it's long, and several of the comments here show that people aren't actually reading the whole thing... but I did and it's worth the time. It's not only about links being dead, it's about the lack of transparency & audit when content is changed via takedown requests, it's about dead links showing up in decades-old supreme court decisions, it's about private industry's lack of incentive for wanting to improve any of these issues, etc.

Just want to say that I agree with everything you've posted in this thread, and it's always shocking to me that people still believe the prosperity gospel in 2021.

"conflating wealth with income"

The author(s) explicitly do NOT conflate these and point that out several times.

Future devs? More like future me... how can I build this so I can change it or fix it when PM decides against it in 2 weeks?

did you miss McCarthyism?

Either this or junior/non-senior engineers at FB are already long gone before they have a chance to be promoted to senior because they job hopped somewhere else.

Was there a similar flurry of "how to ace the finance interview" in the 80s and 90s when everyone wanted to be a stock broker?

"Many of the people who say this kind of stuff never really mastered the theory, and because they never mastered it they can't really use it, and because they can't really use it they find work that doesn't strictly require it, and then conclude it's useless..."

this is quite the assertion. do you have any evidence supporting this statement?

one factor here is that 'senior' doesn't really mean anything anymore other than 3+ years of experience.

cool, where are the links? if you want to go on about appearance of wrongdoing, there's been plenty of that the last 4 years. in fact, the president was impeached for it

have any links to real evidence of widespread fraud that would affect the outcome?
