Because it sounds antagonistic, it's counter indicated by modern culture, plus large proportion of any given audience IS religious and firmly believes they are entitled to special treatment, which is indeed enshrined in laws of most countries.

I've been atheist all my life and it took Me 30 years to get beyond my own cultural conditioning and allow myself to To think "religion is not special belief above all others". Still sounds like a sacrilege even to me and I have to fight the instinct to give it special privilege mentally and automatically.

Note that most other protected features are assumed to be ingrained and largely immutable for the purpose of the law (race, age, etc). The law treats religion the same, as opposed to personal choice that it is like all others. One of my light-bulb moments was when I started replacing phrase "Christian /Muslim / Etc child" with "child of Christian / Muslim / Hindu /etc parents". We should not pretend we do not have agency and freedom of belief... And thus be judged upon that chosen belief like all others.

"I want to hurt that animal / abuse women / disrespect others /etc" should be treated no differently whether suffixed by "because religion" or "because I want to".
Random land outside of the middle of urban centers isn't that valuable, especially when population isn't growing. What is someone going to do, hold onto it for decades and hope someone buys it from them at a 10x markup and be enough to offset the taxes they paid?

In some places (or at least the US), old houses generally gain value. Of course, land is valuable in and of itself, but there's no shame in buying a 100 year old house in the US. There's no worry of earthquake damage, generally no risk of extensive mold due to a drier climate than East Asia, nobody really worries about ghosts infesting the home, etc. Plus, 100 year old American houses are quite honestly probably better than the cardboard and paper mache houses that have been common recently. In my experience, 1920s apartments were much nicer than the post 1970s places I lived in.
"Real jobs and wealth" ... imagine putting them to work into something truly useful and creative, rather than a group of beck and call people.
I think about this all the time. I’m pretty young, don’t want kids, and tech pays so well right now, that I’m quite optimistic that I’ll have the opportunity to pursue a pure passion project like this in my 30s or 40s, heavily inspired by ConcernedApe
I guess it comes down to whether you think of animals as soulless automata or as beings with conscious thought and emotions, worthy of (some amount of) empathy.

And while I can't say much about sheep, in the last ~50 years we have found that some kind of animals are remarkably far on the latter side

Right? You can argue that it is immoral for a human being to inflict needless suffering on animals, but I don’t know where right enter the picture. Ever watch a nature show? You think the alligator tearing pieces off a living zebra is violating the rights of the zebra? Or even that it’s immoral for it to do so?
> It's dumb and twisted that Google won't allow Roku devices to run YouTube if Roku doesn't commit that all future Roku devices support AV1 - when even Google's own streaming device doesn't support AV1.

Surely that would only be the case if Google's future streaming devices don't support AV1, not the current one. And they well might tbh.
But even then, if the better part of a population [1] just really, really wants something even if it objectively makes no sense at all, on which ground do you oppose the desire of the majority? I am not sure if you could justifiably oppose the majority, but if you can, it requires probably quite a bit of philosophical work to make that case.

[1] Just to be clear, I am not talking about this specific case, there is no majority here, but about the general case where a majority has some unreasonable ideas.
Companies/merchants have sought profit forever. It really doesn't seem much different at all in ancient Rome, for example [1], except everything was smaller scale - they sought capital investment and contracts for mining operations with the goal of squeezing as much profit out as efficiently as possible.

It's a chicken and egg problem, or maybe a feedback loop.
Samsung's big cash cow is it's memory business, it's responsible for only 20% of revenue but 50% of profits. They're doubling down on the logic chip business with massive investment in their 3nm gate-all-around architecture.

One issue is there's a significant conflict of interest between their device and CPU businesses. Apple left them precisely because Samsung is a competitor in handsets, and other handset manufacturers are also wary of buying from them for the same reason.

As a side note it is true TSMC deserves a lot of credit for the advantages of the Apple M-series CPUs. Without the 5nm TSMC process they wouldn't be anywhere near as impressive. However Apple has been working very closely with TSMC on it, and their long term financial commitments been a big factor in TSMC being able to move forward so decisively on developing the process and investing in future nodes and capacity. Apple ditching Samsung as a supplier has had a big influence on the shape of the CPU industry. The (currently) top comment by WithinReason highlights part of this dynamic.
That's still an element of deployment, and I'd argue not even the most relevant. Web dev was picked up also by tons of "hobbyists" who had no interest in any of that. For a long while there were quite a few companies selling web products to install on customers' servers (and there are still so many). In the '90s we built loads of intranet apps who did not care about licensing requirements, but cared deeply about ease of deployment towards employees. The SaaS explosion came much later.

There is no need to be always cynically focused on "evil money", often it's just pragmatism.
And maybe you should consider the power of religion, the sense of belonging and origin it gives you, and the good it is doing to this world today (despite many missteps as well), before being so judgemental. I am saying this as someone not religious but grown up with religion.

Some religions evolve faster than others. I would hope the different faiths can come up with iterative improvements to their standard operating procedures that still meets the requirements. I believe the Jewish religion even has a concept about creatively outsmarting the religious rules as being a virtuous thing (eg women wearing wigs).
I wonder how the author will live with himself knowing that he's directly facilitating all the horrible things that go on Tor. I know that I can't do that, so kudos to him.
Common misconception, examples are the 40hr work week and banning of payment in scrip in the 1800s.

Another example is that monopolies require legislation or they have the effect of “seizing up” the dynamics of a functioning marketplace and turning toxic.

Semiconductor patents being made public and telecom copper being made open to use by other companies are both pretty well understood examples of legislation that helped bring about the computer era we live in now. Not free market in a pure ideological sense, but a kind of curated open market dynamic.

Markets are created by governments and don’t just spring from anywhere whole cloth. Markets are useful for many many things but need to be gardened, in effect.

In our current world labor “markets” are really not that at all— if a participant does not have the ability to withdraw their offer of labor then price signaling doesn’t work.

I’ve been reading the book Freedom From the Market, it’s well-researched and a literature review of sorts. Would recommend.
Our democratic model will bend to the unreasonable demands of the majority.

> But banning cash, stops all petty crime,

Do you really think criminals would give up this easy? Or go on to steal jewelry, watches, demand you buy gift cards as extortion or payment for stolen goods etc?

> tax evasion,

I'm fairly certain most significant tax evasion happens without any cash already.

> drug dealing, etc. immediately.

Again, do you really think this?

As mentioned above criminals doesn't have a history of just putting up a sad face and start doing something useful instead.

By the way, the more I learn the more I think we should end prohibition of more drugs, just like we did with alcohol. That could actually put a sad face on a number of criminals.
The one on debt or on bullshit jobs? From what I know, the book on debt is indeed quite influential in financial circles, although I find that a third of its content are entertaining passages on tribal societies.

And the bullshit jobs book is a reiteration of the earlier essay. While the essay is concise and straight to the point, the book has dubious assumptions and generalisations that are there for attention-grabbing.

David Graeber would have been the greatest mind of our era if he adopted the writing style of @pg: straight to the point essays that form a cult following.

As much anti-estabilshment as he was, he was trying too much to fit his brilliant mind into XX century academia writing standards.
In my experience: yes but it I have the impression it'll remain a bit of a struggle unless you go all in and learn emacs as well.

After hearing so much good of Magit in a previous thread here I thought 'ok why not?' and installed emacs and magit. That alone wasn't a walk in the park as I never used emacs before. Maybe I did something wrong but what I remember from it is mainly 'wtf x 10 and what kind of documentation is this'. After some hours I got the hang of it, and I see why it is liked, but still it didn't make me any faster with git because I already have everything needed for my main workflows (SublimeMerge + aliases). Also felt like to get any real value from it I'd need many extra hours on the learning curve and it wasn't clear to me whether the end result would actually be better than what I do now. So I skipped on it, but again: I fully understand that if you use emacs anyway it would be crazy not to use magit.
They will think about all the good it does as well.

Lots of people love to complain about the U.K. weather and it is true that we have particularly rainy parts (eg the north west) but people also feel the cultural need to make such complaints in parts of the south east where it is generally warm or temperate and infrequently wet or windy and bitingly cold. I’ve personally become a bit of a weather contrarian, especially when talking to Americans who have heard about British people always complaining about the weather.
How many centuries-to-millennia do Jews have to live in Europe before theyre viewed as having the same rights as all other Europeans, rather than being immigrants in need of assimilation?

If this is the baseline level of Othering involved in the thinking around this, you understand why people view this as an expression of anti-semitism. “Respect other people’s cultures and beliefs, unless they’re Jewish” isn’t a good look for the left wing.

The standard leaves so much stuff undefined or implementation defined there's no way to fully understand what's going on anyway. The only mental model you can form is of the very limited non-existent abstract machine, anything else you have to guess or go to great pains to avoid. It just isn't very useful to think in those terms, so many intuitions just aren't possible. Turns the language into this huge minefield.

I've given up on that. Standards don't compile code so they don't really matter in the end. I'm interested in what my compilers do and the code they generate. I've found I can just tell them to define the formerly undefined behavior, significantly improving the language as a result. No strict aliasing, forcing signed integers to wrap around as you'd expect them to, etc.
Why the fuck should it!?! Like as if any other business in the world ever does!??
It actually isn't. Orthodox Jews, who are the most literal devotees of the Old Testament (as interpreted by the Talmud), do consider this a capital offence. For technical reasons the death penalty is not administered today (and even when it was, the conditions that needed to be met meant that it hardly ever happened in practice). But this doesn't take away from the severity of the offence.
I didn't mean to imply that Zsh was somehow more portable than Python. And I agree with the sibling commenter that Python is probably more portable than Bash.

> Switching cost is low, but typing cost is much greater.

That typing cost is why I use a GUI. While many times I can just enter `git add -u` into the terminal, there's still plenty of times where I want to be selective about what goes into the commit. If a simple glob pattern can't do it, then I'm going to reach for the GUI where I can just click on all the things I want to add to the commit in far less time than it would have taken to type all of the file names.

The GUIs also keep me immediately informed on the state of my repo. On the terminal, I'll be running `git status` a lot, just to be sure the state I think the repository in in and the actual state match up.
