Possibly. A few other hypotheticals:

Do you think a biological male would be tempted to self-ID as a trans woman if he thought it would give him an advantage getting into a prestigious university like MIT?

Do you think a biological male would be tempted to self-ID as a trans woman if he thought it would give him an advantage getting into a prestigious diversity-conscious STEM company like Google?

Basically, I'm just concerned that if self-IDing has no downsides and only advantages, it will be gamed to the detriment of biological females.
> The theory (since discarded) was that a heavy patent portfolio would give you a better negotiating position if you were sued. There was no thought of actually asserting these patents against Microsoft, or anyone.

Doesn't it kind of prove part of the argument?

Google apparently felt threatened by patents, enough so to acquire "second strike capabilities" as deterrence.

Seems to me Google though patents aggressive tools with the purpose to hurt other companies or threatening to do so (though defensively in this case).

I am really interested in the "since discarded" part, if someone can recommend some reading.

The idea that replacing ownership with loans will lead to good outcomes is frankly shocking to me.

There's a reason all major religions historically prohibit usury (the charging of any interest, as well as enforce debt jubilees), while encouraging ownership.

Frankly, this sounds like a great idea, but it vastly understates the role of the markets (esp the stock market) in lifting others out of poverty.

Humans are not machines. We cannot always work. Stock ownership provides the ability for the disabled, the elderly, etc to earn income based off of work they'd already put in. It's like buying a stake in society. Without it, each person would be measured based off their economic output. I know you claim that's how the current system works, but imagine how much worse it would be if there were no other way to earn money other than by working.

> It would vastly increase equality, with out increasing destitution.

This is a claim stated without data.

> I don’t like unions because they do nothing but cause problems and make society less efficient for everyone.

I wouldn’t say “they do nothing but” although they certainly can.

That said …

When companies hamper the efficiency of the markets, they get countered by antitrust laws.

When unions abuse their “market positions” to hamper the efficiency of the market, e.g. block automation thus make the rest of society pay the price in form of the resulting inefficiency just to benefit themselves, who is there to stop them? Serious question.

Or perhaps something that attracts lightning strikes and uses them to emit a burst of information.

Also, if your website really does last and remains decodeable that long, and if it is an exceptional occurrence, then it could also become a target for destruction if the winds of culture shift in some way.

If Pat's recent performance at VMware is any indicator...I wouldn't put that much faith in his ability to turn things around. He was very good for VMware early on in his tenure, but as competition from IaaS and other players making inroads in on-prem virtualization platforms intensified, his leadership seemed to falter. VMware began to churn and burn through acquisitions without much success, became entangled in a toxic relationship with Dell, and only managed to make marginal gains in terms of home-grown product innovation. The last couple years of his tenure were an especially noticeable period of decline, with massive losses in employee morale and retention, as well as continually degrading release quality. As a former employee (I left just before Pat did), I left the company with the impression that Pat and the rest of the execs were asleep at the wheel while the heads of various business units simply ran amok.

I find non-modern methods of food preparation more rewarding, since I quit smoking. After about a year I noticed that I gained a lot of appreciation for acidic food and started fiddling with lacto-fermentation.

Absolutely. I grew up spending lots of time on a farm, I've lived in a 3rd world country, plus have cooked for a living. The fact is, the majority of an animal is shitty cuts of meat.

Even something like short rib is 'premium' compared to much of the carcass. So slow-cooking is great to turn a blade or round roast into something that doesn't suck. And definitely, a huge part of every food culture is cooking these subpar cuts.
Yes, except... again, this is fighting fire with fire.

If you don’t know git internals, mistype a non-obvious command and lose a bunch of commits, then “look in the reflog” advice is frankly adding insult to injury.

Not at all. This is precisely on point, and directly intersects with the Right to Repair as well. It's about damn time we, as a society, put a stop to black box devices over which we have no ability to inspect, repair, or repurpose after the vendor decides to end support.
I just spent 8 years in the county jail while the police wasted my time to try and get a conviction out of me. They offered to let me walk free on my first court date if I plead guilty, but I refused, so I did 8 years locked up. I'm actually still in custody now, just not at the jail. Might be in custody for another couple of years until the case is dismissed.

Looking at the statistics for Cook County Jail, there are a number of unconvicted people who have been in there for almost 12 years waiting to go to trial.
And pretty much every interaction I've had with cops has been extremely negative. From stealing money out of my wallet, making up DMV issues to steal my license, to threatening my friend with jail time for trying to report a violent rape inflicted on her.
>""Intel 4"" is inferior to Samsung's and TSMC's 5nm processes on paper {...}

According to transistor density information this is false (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_nm_process)

TSMC 5nm density: 173 MTr/mm^2

Samsung 5nm density: 127 MTr/mm^2

Intel 4 (estimated): ~200 MTr/mm^2

Got a source? I'm willing to change my mind, but the data doesn't agree with your assertion from my point of view.

Samsung's process has always lagged TSMC and INTC. It's part of why the 3080 is so hot/power hungry.

I don't disagree that the PRC has their own best interests in mind. However, I don't see how they can be oblivious to the fact that going to war with and occupying Taiwan would not only tie up a significant part of their military, but would also immediately give their current trading partners both reason and rationale to cut off trade. Not to mention the brain drain from Taiwan that would follow shortly after.

If anything, I'm far more worried about the PRC exercising the soft power it's slowly been building in eg. part of Africa.

> Owner and employee are different risk profiles, it's neither useful nor beneficial to impose by law that nobody can be an employee any longer, especially for those who can't afford the risk.

The owner doesn't carry the risk - the business does. That's the whole point of a limited liability corporation. And there's no reason those liability protections couldn't be strengthened further.

Plus, this is seriously underestimating the risk a poor employee takes. Someone living pay to pay check who has no information about the state of the business and stands to lose everything if they get fired risks a lot more than a business owner who has all the information about the state of the business and can keep a comfortable cushion for themselves to fall back on should the business fail (and can choose the moment at which to end the business to be sure they don't eat into that cushion).

Who's taking more risk here? The employee, not the business owner.

> It's also very easy to route around that obstacle if it were made law: just fire everyone and hire them back as contractors, oh, no, sorry, democratically run worker cooperative employing one worker.

You could pretty easily tweak contract law to get rid of this workaround. Even so, this isn't an easy workaround. No business of reasonable size can afford to fire all of its employees. And if those employees are co-owners of the business no single employee has the power to fire all the others.

> You are completely throwing away many layers of protections that are afforded to workers in a system of regulated employment relations.

And replacing them with power. They don't need those protections when they are in control. They can devise their own rules.

> It's a thought experiment predicated on paying an enormous social cost that nobody is willing to pay, to get to a point where nobody wants to be. If the first step of your plan directly implies getting rid of all credit, then I frankly don't think it's really a good plan.

My proposal is a separate thing from the thought experiment. The thought experiment is an example of the sort of innovative thinking we should be engaging in to come up with new alternatives, but for the most part - aren't on a large scale.

My proposal is a fleshed out proposal that I could work. Sure there are pieces of it that still need to be further fleshed out - like exactly how the transition would work. But I you can I must hang out with different crowds if you don't think anybody wants to get to a place with less inequality and where the average person has a hell of a lot more control over their day to day life.

> The police job attracts most people who do not have a college degree, are white, and lean into conservative/justice-heavy politics.

12.4% of police officers are black, compared to 11.9% of the US population. "White" is slightly over-represented as well. Both of these are mainly a result of "Other" and especially "Asian" being significantly under-represented.

The primary disparity is by sex. 84.5% of police are male.

The percentage of police officers with a four year degree is ~30%, about the same as the adult general population.

>This essentially means "women" are socially constructed. It is hard to have feminism if you don't have "women". This seems to be at the core of the "terf" conflict.

Yeah, one thing I've noticed lately is that TRAs seem to struggle to provide a definition of what a "woman" is nowadays. It's apparently "a person who identifies as a woman", and that's literally it. Maybe there are some caveats for people who "obviously" adopt the title in some sort of bad faith (eg. to get lower insurance rates), but I imagine that even this makes activists uneasy. This is why we're seeing a spate of non-gendered neologisms being pushed - "birthing person", etc.
