> ok, then what of the cryptocurrency drug markets? those were created by govt?

Indirectly yes, right now one of their biggest selling points is not being in the legal realm of government regulated markets.

If the government were to legalize drugs/endorse crypto that dynamic would heavily change, the black variants of these markets would lose quite a big part of their appeal and thus the demand for them and ultimately their market share.

> goverment is but one way to achieve that organization

There has to be some form of authority enforcing rules, or else you end up with a very anarchistic form of "market" where everything goes. That "everything" ranges from mundanities, like making a "business model" out of cheating people, to selling people like property because when there's a buyer, who has the right the stop me from selling?
Yup. But then, clicking time (or rather, navigating your mouse) is also slow. Where Magit shines is in being a GUI (a TUI), so you're always informed on the state of the repo, but it's also fully keyboard operated, so you don't have to click on things.

The popup-based paradigm for keyboard operation helps with discoverability - first few times around, you'll be going slow to learn what key does what, but after that, you'll be issuing most commands from memory.

> This seemingly counterintuitive paradox can be explained by demand for banknotes as a store of value in the euro area coupled with demand for euro banknotes outside the euro area,” the ECB’s analysis concluded. Strip away the jargon and it’s just another way of saying that people want banknotes because people want banknotes.

I think they missed the point massively in this article, the ECB comment is pretty self explanatory.

What they mean here is that other central banks (Japan and China for instance) and autocrats (and not gangsters at least not significantly) prefer keeping their foreign currency in cash despite the extra costs because western countries have the annoying habit to lock foreign electronic funds on a whim.

> I am betting it is not a coincidence that the timeline for women’s financial independence and access to cheap and convenient birth control lines up with declining birth rates.

So we're in agreement? Women are not having fewer kids because couples have less sex, it's because of things like financial independence and birth control that allows (and essentially requires) couples to plan for kids. And when you have to actively chose to have kids in this kind of environment you'll postpone it as long as you can, perhaps limiting yourself to one child, or none at all.

I also do this regularly, but on my terminal. I don't feel like I'm fighting the git tools. Is this a common experience?

The problem is that the road to hell is paved with gold. It's not that Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, et. al are choosing a little extra profit over people, it's a LOT of extra profit over people.

That's why this needs legislation. You don't get to be the CEO of a Tech giant without being, at a minimum, ruthless; asking ruthless people to "do the right thing" and give up a lot of money for the good of "other people" is never going to work.

Using C for this purpose (application processing untrusted data) is absolutely terrifying. Already when it was invented, C was a step backwards in terms of language design.

C has been very successful, and there are definitely advantages like the ubiquitous support, but its lack of memory safety is causative for three quarters of all security bugs in software that is built in it. This share has been found by multiple independent projects so it's kind of a constant.

And Tor is not just a random networked application, it manages data highly interesting for state level actors.

In a rare display of anger, Cook replied that there were many things Apple did because they were right and just. “When we work on making our devices accessible by the blind,” he added, “I don’t consider the bloody ROI.” Then he added, “If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock.”

isn't this natively supported by nvidia?

i.e. you have a vgpu card (or a consumer card you an map to the equivalent vgpu card) and nvidia drivers and tools lets you load drivers that essetially partition it into XGB (all partitions being the same X) and then you just gpu passthrough the newly created device that maps to a single partition into the vm?

the whole trick being the ability to trick nvidia's drivers into thinking that the consumer gpu is really the server model, but otherwise it becomes just normal nvidia usage?

Being a media company corrupts people. These companies - Facebook and others like it - are part of people's community forming process and have to confront the very real and practical problem that promoting objective truth - insofar as we have one - is unprofitable.

There isn't going to be a large social media company that reliably runs according to high-minded community principles. Not least of which because high-minded types would figure out that one company having that much power is unworkable and doomed to corruption. Sooner or later they'll optimise towards saying whatever needs to be said. And they have to satisfy too many different - opposed - communities to maintain a respect for the truth.

I’ve spent a long time trying to figure out why I liked M2 better than Super Metroid despite what most others feel.

I think it’s because M2 had better sounds. They were less weak and piddly sounding, leading to better ambience and feel.

I dunno what is with the SNES but so many games have very cutesy sounding sounds. I’m not sure how to describe it. Pew pew pew vs. BLAM BLAM BLAM.

I’ll try to get some audio examples of the two soundscapes when I’m at my PC.

Edit: this generally demonstrates the sounds. https://youtu.be/67qytrErmaE

Not sure why you’re getting downvotes, Ori is a good recommendation as a modern take on a Metroid-like game.

But I strongly disagree about the difficulty. I’m no pro gamer, but I am from the NES era and in Ori I don’t think I ever died? Or if I did, it certainly wasn’t more than once in an area. Ori is not even in the same league as the old platformers like Metroid, Megaman, Ninja Gaiden, etc.

I concur, there's nothing "communistic" about the idea of full employment, if anything it strikes me as something rather capitalistic in its nature: Full employment would mean there's an oversupply of labor, which means labor would be dirt cheap and easily replaceable.

That would be the dream for anybody trying to exploit others labor for their own gains, something that's generally seen as a very capitalistic mindset.

The USSR attempting to have full employment was yet another misplaced attempt at trying to "Beat the capitalistic West at their own game".

yes, i think we agree that, at least in theory, companies with bad reps could find it more difficult to find people, find the best people, find people for as low a salaries as they would like, etc.

otoh, i think you could just as easily argue that these companies are attracting the absolute best talent, paying them the highest salaries, and being happy to do so -- because their business model enjoys insane profits.

employees might have to leave a bit more of their conscience at the door, but there are all sorts of ways to justify that to oneself.

what is the 'absolute best talent' for a company with a less-than-stellar reputation?

really, it's probably the same employee as for most companies -- someone whose beliefs/behaviors most closely model the expected and ideal behavior of corporations -- sociopaths. serial killers, even -- as long as they didn't kill their fellow employees. it's expensive to find talent in this market!

it reminds me of the lady, Lucy Hughes, of marketing firm, Initiative -- in the movie, The Corporation, she's tells how a friend asked her, "Lucy, is (manipulating children with your advertising) ethical?"

She says, basically, "Well I don't know if it's ethical or not, but at Initiative our job is to move product."

The last time I checked, the best vertical tabs extension for Chrome was Tab Outliner, which is vastly inferior to the Tree Style Tab extension for Firefox. (I mean no disrespect to the developer of Tab Outliner. They seem to have done the best they could do given how much less extensible Chrome is compared to Firefox.)

Saying that Chrome supports vertical tabs is like saying that VS Code supports editing Org files. It's technically true, but the Org mode extension for VS Code has like 1% or 2% of the features of Org mode for Emacs.

I think it's sad that highly extensible software like Firefox and Emacs have been surpassed in popularity by software that is so much less extensible. And I suppose this trend will continue as more people grow up with phones and tablets as their only computers.
They said that it is good analogy to class conflict tho. And it is. But not in the "class clashing or class struggling against each other" nor "good lower class against bad upper class" interpretations. The actual class conflict does involve lower class fighting among themselves for little. All while powerful class is mostly confused, occupied by own issues until it hits them and then try to contain the violence.

I think that movie just dont conform to Hollywood tropes. Hollywood movie would make victims obvious bad guys, perpetrators obvious good guys. It would also made poor people obviously lazy. People used to American production have problem interpret movie like Parasite. They read commentary and make above assumptions.

Parasite went out of way to show the rich family as caring about each other, oblivious and easy to manipulate, but not bad people all in all. And the poor family is caring among themselves, but they are not obvious good guys. And they are in fact hard working, very hard working.

Can you explain how it doesn't align with reality? It's not uncommon anymore that people who are 30 years old still never had sex.
