Zimbabwe did not run out of money.

I did not say that a bank can make everybody rich by printing money just that there is no limit to the money that the banks can print, as is evidenced by Zimbabwe. They ran out of everything else but not money. We are basically expressing the same thing from different viewpoints.
Hell yea I am jealous, have you met rich people? Do you realize how they live and how little they work and the absolutely shitty society that we have to live in to keep them rich? Of course I am jealous. How are you not? I see you also work for Google. Do you realize how much money Eric Schmidt makes off your labor while fucking women in some mansion? Do you realize how shitty the internet is for the sole purpose of selling ads? How shitty our phones are for the purpose of selling apps? Fuck appreciating that. Rich people ruin it for everyone.
I mean... Have you forgotten everything you've read about Millenials? We're motivated by the chance to improve the world. Green Socialism delivers exactly that.

Meanwhile: a liveable wage should simply be a given to anyone who is working full time. If your business cant afford this, quit asking us to subsidize your existence.

So far, Capitalism is failing on both fronts. If Green Socialism can win on either or both? Maybe Mises' bones belong on display next to that of the T-Rex.

Protests will not work, only young people deciding massively to vote a third party would make a dent on the current fossilised power inbalance. No matter how many times you ask for gun control or a fair healthcare system. It will not happen.

The alternative is what we are seeing in Europe, with students 15 yo playing real world Resident Evil in Barcelona with chainsaws and torches (and finding it more funny and rewarding than they expected)

Maybe the website can just be programmed to not take orders too quickly? To be draconian, they could setup a "queue" with only one slot, and even implement some kind of cooldown before taking another order. Maybe that way Jayden won't feel overwhelmed.

For a company based in Switzerland to be "accidentally" connected to a company in another country they claim to have no connection to such that their permanent google cert lists the name of the company they are supposedly not connected with - that doesn't seem odd to you?

That fact that this had to be slowly pried out with changing explanations along the way?

When you say the claim that has been debunked - I expect the claim not to be confirmed.

Yes. It's like clockwork. The US is coming due for another war soon.
An origin error (i.e. 5XX) is okay to be cached for a while. But a 400 is an error in the request so it should never be cached, ever. I guess that's the point of the article, I'm very surprised that CloudFront caches 400s.

404s could be cached, I think, but it's a risky one.
> You don’t want Stalinism, but you do want to limit the speech of people who disagree with what you want?

Asking for substantive debate free of tragic reactionary propaganda is not "limiting the speech" of people who disagree, it's asking for an intellectually honest forum for a discussion.

You're complaining because folks are tired of having important conversations hijacked with slippery slope falacies and the repetition of both USSR and USA propaganda. But that's a reasonable objection, and it's reasonable to ask that folks be minimally educated before engaging in a conversation.

If you're discussing machine learning and then someone comes in talking about how they pyramids taught them neural networking via a series of sines and cosines and also aliens (yes, this has happened to me in a public setting), you might be inclined to ask them to let the adults talk. That's not limiting speech, that's exercising your speech in opposition. They're fundamentally different things.

Actually, the 1998 versions looked quite nice for the time. What a difference to the 1997 entertainment homepage!
Socialism is just a word that's used as "not capitalism". The point is, though, if the ownership of capitals (means of production) is so concentrated (1% own 90% of capital), then pretty much the only "solution" is effectively disowning them, consequences be damned. That's clearly in contrast to the spirit (and law) of capitalism, hence many (even capitalists) would simply call it "socialism" (or "communism"), even if it's completely different in the details (e.g. not everyone is paid the same).
Both services are trash. Maillgun in particular holds emails even for days and reports them as sent. Apparently it's a "security" feature.
Estonia (in fact all the 3 Baltic States) under-taxes at present in a way that’s not sustainable. For example there is a significant NATO presence there to protect them from the Russians. At some point someone will want them to make a fair contribution to that, such as purchasing a few tanks and fighter jets...

One thing that you could read into the parent post is that, to the people it's giving the shaft to, modern crony capitalism doesn't seem particularly distinguishable from socialism in a lot of ways.

You have the thing where the government is trying to control, or at least closely guide, the economy. You have the thing where those who are close to power subvert that to line their own pockets. You have the thing where people are being discincentivized to work hard because they see that hard work benefits others more than themselves. Interestingly, in the USA, you even have the mass incarceration, which otherwise only shows up in the versions of socialism that hail from the other side of the historical iron curtain and from (yes, I realize what I'm about to do here, but please remain calm, but I'm only wanting to draw a parallel to some very specific things here, and to call attention to the fact that not all forms of socialism are leftist) Germany starting in the 1930s.

To poke at the USA a bit more, yes, there are still plenty of salient differences between the USA and nominally socialist societies. But it strikes me that the most salient one is that, in the USA, you have units in the grade school curriculum devoted to indoctrinating kids on the idea that they are most definitely NOT a socialist country. Moreso as an article of faith than as a matter of fact.
uBO relies on 3rd-party filter lists to know what to block. The most popular of these is Easylist, which is not well-maintained and doesn't have a good appeal process. I don't think Firefox should build this in unless they're going to support the maintenance of a high-quality filter list with a transparent add/remove process.

Software engineers contribute more value to society than do McDonald's fry cooks.

A McDonald's fry cook could be a software engineer, but they choose not to.

McDonald's fry cooks protest for $15 minimum wage; instead of spending that time studying programming.

If we protested about not fully utilizing our lower contributing members of society, instead of condemning the highest contributing mebers; we'd have a healthier society.
The Google tax is real. Merchants see it as a cost of business, consumers are insulated from it to the point where all they see is a wonderful “free” product from Google.

The reality is if we didn’t have to do defensive ads on our organic results my company could probably offer 30% lower pricing. But because there’s no easy way to discriminate against google ad clickers we have to charge the Google tax to everyone, as most businesses do.

The end result is that nobody cries foul to the search monopoly and its cost to society. Google gets to charge monopolistic pricing without anyone noticing.
Seriously. The only place where it has a single tooth is London, where theyre apparently banned now. Thus priming the police state to repress at full coal-generated-steam ahead.

Not accusing you of this, strictly speaking, but I see this as just more of the "if you regulate, they'll just do X, so don't bother" defeatism that is used all the time to argue against regulation, taxation, or any sort of policing of the rich and powerful. We have numerous examples of regulations actually working as designed. Notable failures (e.g. the IRS, the financial industry in the 2000s) are due in large part to persistent under-funding by Congress, rather than any inherent impossibility.
Recently switched my work (full stack web) Macbook to Firefox and I'm pleasantly surprised by how capable FF's dev-tools are compared to Chrome. I was expecting it to be a much more difficult transition. Still running Chrome on an iMac at home (we use a lot of Chromecast there, so I imagine switching will be a bit more painful) but would like to divest from Google where reasonable.

Right, this is exactly what i wrote.

> KDE, with it's very successful suite of OSS, cross platform apps, Plasma Desktop and Plasma Mobile would like to disagree.

Disagree on what? They wouldn't like Qt developers to focus on desktop widgets?

Besides, KDE and its suite is only a small fraction of what Qt is used for. It acts as a nice cheerleader but Qt is used by a LOT more than just KDE.

> You should remember that Qt is the only cross platform toolkit for desktops that is small, performant and actually works without compromises.

That sounds like marketing buzzwords.

KDE Plasma is the only fully featured independent DE that runs across Linux and BSD's.

How much of that money goes to Qt's developers? I mean, how do you go from what you wrote here to:

> Qt and it's business model is a success by all terms.

And last time i checked, the money Krita (i don't know about Kdenlive) gets is a pittance.
Anno isn't an idiot.

This comment, while oft repeated, is simply not true. There is plenty of symbolism going on in the show. There is a lot of PoMo "mask on top of a mask" stuff going on with the biblical references, but some stuff is more on the nose. There are plenty of articles on this, including this one: https://reelrundown.com/animation/Symbolism-in-Neon-Genesis-...
I'm kind of confused at this rhetoric, as it seems hypocritical on its face. It's denigrating calling an argument a racist straw man, while creating a straw man ('the rabid blue hairs'). I think this is a really poor way to enter a conversation, as even the people against border control only attack the argument while this post only attacks the people.
This doesn’t give the Communists anywhere near enough credit for their own depravity or the energy and vigor they put into the suffering of their enemies. I do not recall the Tsarist regime using rape (in order of seniority) as a weapon of terror, or pouring molten lead down the throats of anyone like the Communists did to priests, or rolling Tsarist officers down hills in barrels studded with nails on the inside.

The Communists made the Tsarist regime look like rank amateurs in terror, they weren’t even trying in comparison
I don’t think Firefox will get into complete built-in ad blocking, like Brave does. But the days (or years) of uBlock Origin seem to be numbered because of the approach proposed by Chrome (called Manifest V3) to prevent extensions from modifying network requests, and being limited to just providing a block list of URLs for the browser engine to block (this design has been the case with Safari’s built-in content blocking).
Yeah, this is one of the reasons I wanted this. The owners have nothing to lose (they aren't maintaining the projects anyway), the maintainers have nothing to lose (there's no time requirement), and at some point you might come across a project that you want to use but that has been abandoned, and you can just click "join" and become its maintainer.
Tight!
The fact that you can't read the article shows. You are totally misrepresenting what is happening now and what happened in the past to push a particular political agenda.

This has nothing to do with export laws. The documents were the property of Oxford in a collection that he oversaw. Now Oxford discovered that he sold the documents.

Also, ancient artifacts are protected regardless of their value. That is what keeps their value in check. If every patch of dirt in Italy could be excavated and whatever is found sold on the international market, there would be a crazy land rush.

So no. The rules never changed. They were not his items, they were Oxford's. And Hobby Lobby is totally accurate. They're a hate-filled group that somehow people still shop from.

You are also significantly and intentionally warping what happened with some of their prior dealings where they smuggled artifacts into the country. They had to pay a 3 million dollar fine, return 3800 stolen items, when they intentionally forged documents. They didn't "not have a proper chain of custody" they faked the import country and contents of shipments to get them past customs after being repeatedly warned about not doing this. This is just a matter of looking up on wikipedia.

When you lie to protect an evil corporation like Hobby Lobby, you don't get to say that somehow other people are bigots. Why is it that the Christian right in the US is ok with lying all the time? Isn't there a commandment in the bible about this?
I did not say that gold backed currency is better for everybody. I'm just amazed at the time span over which the dilution is happening. And I don't think that anybody can deny that our money is slowly losing its purchasing power.

Posting anon.

In 2009, the startup where I was working was hitting the skids, and our investors (correctly) were not willing to back us. We all kept grinding for a month or two in honorable futility, but after a while, my bank account depleted and I had to go.

To make various ends meet and to keep my mental health during the wind down however, I took up some contract work that I found through various friends in the SF startup scene. One company that I really liked and did some small stuff for was Burbn, which was a mobile-only location check-in that was hinged around taking photos of your location.

Missing my friends in NYC (I made a lot of friends in SF, but my inner circle were my college buddies from CMU; I went to tech and they went finance, sigh), I decided to leave SF to head to NYC and get a fresh start.

As I was leaving, I wanted to tie up a few loose ends, so I emailed my contact at Burbn and said I was likely to be unavailable for any more work, but that I liked the project and hoped for the best for him. He responded and said that he was near funding on a small pivot, and that if I was interested, there might be a full-time role available. I declined - I was mentally done with SF and the startup scene (Larry Chiang, 111 Minna, the rise of FB spam-crap like RockYou, etc.) as it was then.

That person was Kevin Systrom; that pivot was Instagram.
No it isn't. Free software is about specific software freedoms originally defined by the FSF which overlap, but are not quite accurately captured by that statement. So yeah, Stallman would object because he's all about such fine distinctions.

Do they? Try making a case that we don't need more than two sets of gendered pronouns in your tech job.
I believe they are talking about an outdated issue:

I use all the gifts I receive due to never buying myself anything, but this is definitely an issue I can see. I have spent countless Christmases telling family to donate to charities (and provided a list), buy me food (specific foodstuffs) and in one instance organized Christmas and said they could bring booze and desserts and nothing else.

And they kept on with the (bulky, usually mass-produced) gifts.

I don't hate gifts. But I would love a way to share that ritual with people without encouraging consumption. One problem I've had is the alternatives I suggest, like food, some people don't think cost enough money so they don't like giving it. Are there expensive consumables that people would feel higher status giving?

A CDN that doesn’t follow HTTP standards

> Imagine if instead of people protesting against income inequality, they protested against value contribution inequality...

All protests are against perceived value contribution inequality, and against those perceived as contributing the least (or most negative) value; perhaps more precisely, against those perceived as producing the greatest negative externalized value contribution.

Of course, value being subjective, there are often sharp disputes about who is worthy of that treatment.
Not that I can think of, but then I don't really define myself by my gender or race or really give much time to identity politics in general.

> Most young people are paradoxically for unfettered immigration and against capitalism, but one is an economic policy and a result of the other.

Because many young people are increasingly sympathetic to the anarchist argument for the dissolution of borders. That's not paradoxical, the argument is that the national state should stop having the power to limit the movement of people.

> Simultaneously they are pushing for policies that increase competition and lower their wages (immigration),

This isn't actually a true statement. Immigrants are less expensive labor for a community, freeing up more capital for civil services, education and facilities. The idea that immigration lowers wages is a populist argument made by capitalists and reactionaries alike. Modern corporate capitalists actually LIKE the state limiting the supply of immigrant labor behind elaborate processes and form-filling. So long as they get their quota promptly, that is.

Although the article doesn't mention it, the next recession will also likely come during a powerful wave of job losses tied to automation.

Mixing popular resentment over the last debacle in which had few consequences for those responsible with the bewildering lack of jobs is a recipe for scapegoating other countries.

>"The higher savings rate, we believe, has had disinflationary impact, driving the relatively slow growth and low inflation in this recovery," wrote an analyst for Raymond James, observing that younger people are "saving instead of purchasing like last generation, limiting demand growth."

this is what the constant specter of economic instability causes people to do. stash money under the bed, defer big purchases, and refuse to buy things that are not necessary for life. then, when the economy worsens, people feel like they are at least a little bit more prepared. the trick, of course, is that the actions taken to respond to their feelings of instability are more likely to cause a recession.

overall, the liberal-capitalist response to the outcry of the young public has been "shut up, get a job, consume more, be more competitive" -- and it will be just as tone deaf and infuriating in the coming recession as it has been since before the last recession.
