>> tried making their own script and empire. I believe it was called "Deseret":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deseret_alphabet

It was a phonetically correct alphabet for English.

In case you are unfamiliar, in many languages, the language is written exactly as it is spoken. For example, in Spanish and Italian, words are written exactly as they are pronounced. If you can read the word, you can pronounce it though you might not know the meaning.

Children in English-speaking places will usually have to study "spelling" where they learn how to correctly spell words.

Deseret alphabet was pronounced exactly as it was written which shows which spoken accents the speakers had.
… for as long as there is no cheaper competition.
I support workers but I also feel like ChatGPT won't join the strike. Probably if it happens there will be some tongue-in-cheek ChatGPT-written episodes, and then later it will stop being a joke.
I don't see why we even argue about it. The calculation discussion is a begged question, where it accepts that these other ideas are desirable were it not for these implementation details. Reality is, they are a pretext for subordinating and oppressing people by denying their human individuality, and once you have the means to do that, does it really matter if they starve so long as you still hold the reins? Even if you are defending "capitalism," you have already accepted a definition invented by people whose object was to subvert and destroy your civilization so as to rule over the ashes.

If we are going to accept that this (objectively, murderous) ideology is topical for serious discussion, registering our disgust with it and the its advocates should be included in the discourse. If only more people understood that the way they feel about conservative and even reactionary beliefs, many others feel about totalitarianism, its polite euphemisms, and its apologists.
That's insane that they provide insurance ; it give you an idea of just how tight the labor market is in the U.S.

Maybe this is inflation but that's a crazy amount of money.
Based on this code example:

import { sql } from '@vercel/postgres';

const { rows } = await sql`
INSERT INTO products (name)
VALUES (${formData.get('name')})
`;

Presumably authentication is handled transparently? I really like that - reminds me of Deno's new KV cloud stuff too.

Is that done with environment variables? I'd want a way to tap into that from Python code as well.
But a lot of times those regulations are enforcing things like health and safety or other types of cost shifting. where either the there is large differential in the expertise on one side of a transaction or a third party is the one paying the costs of the transaction.

EPA - polluting for instance.

In 1969, the Cuyahoga River caught on fire in Cleveland just a few miles north of Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

When rivers start catching of fire the companies doing the polluting aren't really going to stop doing it and since most consumers live pay check to check they will generally chose the cheapest option available. even if they end up paying 10X the cost down the line.
Wireless internet will always make lag unbearable for that kind of stuff.
Individual action is what makes up organizational action.

We all need to believe we can make an impact. That we will not allow the powers that be use AI to make our lives more unequal.

We are at a huge potential inflection point for humanity.

We can choose to reduce our collective work load for the benefit of everyone.

Let’s not squander the opportunity by making excuses of why we can’t do it.

We can make the world more equal and have people work less. We have the technology and resources to make that happen.
True, but the ridiculous number might be lower than you expect. Vercel in particular has got a lot of feedback about their pricing!
I think you just need to go up the corporate-financial ladder a step. Clearly the major shareholder conglomerates - Vanguard, Fidelity, State Street, Vanguard etc. can act in a manner very similar to a Soviet Central Committee to direct resources in a centrally planned manner. The current consolidation of banking into a small group of large corporate institutions (JPMorganChase, BankAmerica, Citgroup, WellsFargo) with direct ties to the Federal Reserve is another obvious example of how the US economy is more of a centrally planned model than not, and of course, the military-industrial corporate system, where the government is basically the sole buyer and distributor of contracts, is another one.
Exactly. The cost will ultimately be borne by bank customers

Very cynically I think it was rejected early and high up because it simply would have required a top-down decree that large corporations spend an astounding amount of money for the wellbeing of their workers. As a society we've basically ruled out interventions of that sort by now, and it would establish/reinforce the belief that companies are responsible for the health of their workers.

Whereas personal-domain actions like sanitizing and masking cost companies basically nothing and reinforce the mindset that covid mitigation is an individual responsibility and so the consequences from having it are an individual burden. It doesn't even matter if they work or not, from this perspective, which explains why pointless things like sanitizing and QR menus persisted so long.

Oh hell yes. I used maintain webcrypto code for a different job and yes Safari was broken forever. I don't have the codebase anymore (I sold the company in 2020) but we disabled keypair crypto features in Safari and told people to use a different browser. I believe it's since been fixed.

Yup. Marx borrowed a lot. Very little of Marx's ideas on their own are original. Really what he did was stitch together work from multiple sources. Lots of his contradictions of capitalism come from Adam Smith in some form. Marx is also, if I remember correctly, influence by early christian communes. As I said, most of his ideas taken individually are not original to him, it is only when it is all combined, it is original.

I bet most people are downvoting because they don't believe in keeping research secret, and that it is even counter-productive.
What do you mean "legally required"? E.g. is there a law that says that specifically, or a common interpretation of a law that says something vaguer, or a common clause in employment contracts, or were you being metaphorical and it isn't actually legal?

I'm from the US, and this sounds very strange to my ears.
There's an interesting set of ethical questions surrounding the ways that people with socially unaccepted preferences/fetishes use technology to satisfy forbidden urges. If we accept that individuals aren't able to (and generally shouldn't have to) control what they find sexually attractive, then it seems admirable to be able to use tech in ways that don't harm any actual people. If LLM erotic roleplay begins to replace the highly exploitative realworld porn industry (which of course uses real humans, many of them psychologically, socially or financially vulnerable), that seems like progress.
(am supabase investor) fortunately supabase's value prop is so straight forward it doesnt quite need to do the "outside-in" maneuver. just make postgres into a developer friendly platform. huge TAM in itself. another investor i asked on why they put $millions into supabase simply said "RDS has more than $1b ARR"
Ground source heat pumps, frankly, should be mandated in cold climates. That completely removes any cold-air limitations.

There is no serious debate anymore, USSR imploded from impossibility of central planning, even despite attempts to computerize the process. Even if every single factory manager was honest and knowledgeable and even if every single worker put in 100% effort for no extra reward, modern economy is not centrally computable and contains factors not knowable apriori, such is whether consumers will like a certain style of shoes once they are already made and on the store shelves. These things need to be discovered bit by bit through local knowledge and private assumption of risks, which in turn is only possible through incentive of private enjoyment of rewards.

However, I am also tired of both sides claiming that labor unions, or social safety net, or some amount of government regulation are socialism and therefore either "see you like it, lets have some more" or "if government provides a health insurance scheme, it's Gulags right away". These things are governments or voluntary organizations of workers leveraging productivity of free market to accomplish some additional tasks deemed to remain unaddressed by market forces. Mind you, I am not a fan of lots of government, especially on central level. There are separate arguments about incentives for providers of aid to remain efficient and for recipients to be grateful and responsible. But let's have intelligent conversations about each thing rather than "Medicare is communism and border control is fascism".

There are also objective negative externalities like "if I didn't buy smoke from your factory, you have no right to blow it over my house", where regulation actually advances voluntary free market. Some movements like Georgism have interesting proposals to use mitigation of externalities to fund whatever government is needed while making market more efficient.
This is more like that time OnlyFans tried to ban sex work from their platform. Replika knew damn well that this move would be tossing a hand grenade at their golden goose, but did so anyway presumably out of external puritanical pressure.
Not too mention that companies consolidate to cartels(I'm looking at you industry trade groups) which have significant pricing power so the cost usually don't end up with the consumer.
No, by printing money, the government dilutes/devalues the money they already have. You still have 100 dollars. Theft would be that you have 98 dollars.

Converting dollars into something that isn't dollars, which doesn't get you as much of that something, is a different concept. It is the value of the dollar is lower.

> Cryptocurrency is protected from this by design.

Not really.

Today, bitcoin dilutes holders through inflation tied to securing the network. Eventually, that inflation will end, but not in some of our lifetimes. Ethereum was inflationary but is now deflationary thanks to burning of transaction fees and the switch to PoS. The tokenomics of all chains can be changed over time, even bitcoin. It requires a fork of the chain that everyone follows. When inflation for bitcoin ends, I could envision miners agreeing on a fork that better protects their interests.
Capitalist countries fail too. We just had a banking crisis resolved by centralized action. I'm not sure what this means aside from the fact that any poorly managed system fails.
The problem with that argument is you have to argue that the USSR failed because of central planning, when the reality is their centrally planned economy succeeded in industrializing a majority-peasant agricultural country, defeating the nazis in world war 2, and launching a man into space.

I'm not blind to the many flaws of the soviet union, but it's a bit absurd to point to it as a failure of central planning.
>The direct answer here is take you kids out of school whenever it’s cheapest and then have them hang out at home during the “official” vacation period.

That can be difficult to pull off, probably especially in public schools which probably have less flexibility to bend the rules.

But, yeah, it doesn't sound like some great conspiracy. And unless you live near the Canadian or Mexican border, of course it's generally going to be more expensive to travel to another country compared to living in France.

Socialism appeals to youth because it emphasizes fairness which is something we stress as important to young people. The problem is that it doesn't work at scale so they have to realize that as they grow. People who pick up on it too soon are selfish and greedy. People who pick up on it too late are just not very bright. Some people appear to be the latter, but just know that the longer they can keep others from picking up on it the more they can fleece them.
What part of socialist ideology stipulates the horrible things?

It was somewhat inherent in Nazi ideology that there was a superior group and inferior groups. Even this would have resulted in a atrocity, but moreso was their will to export their ideology by empire building.

I don't see the same sort of failures stemming from socialism. Expansionism certainly leads to strife, but the ideology itself doesn't enforce an us and them. Except insofar as there are adherents and opponents of the ideology itself.
I finally realize that all those weird face tattoos in futuristic scenarios were to throw off facial recognition. Who here is starting an AI defeating temporary face tattoo business?
the "Gilded Age" was termed after the fact by the same liberal socialists. bringing inequality isn't a bad thing. inequality emerges by necessity from a distribution where people have choice, but that's too long to discus here. what really maters is did the quality of life of everyone go up. For example: The cost of oil was brought down by over 80%, enabling people for the first time to read at night. You are in a comfortable position to benefit from everything that 'the gilded age' brought, but don't have to face the down sides of not having it by being here.
SEEKING WORK | LOCATION: EU (BUT WORKING EASTERN TIME HOURS) | REMOTE ONLY

I'm a fractional CTO, product designer and engineer with ~ 16 years of experience. I help tech entrepreneurs and tech companies achieve their product and engineering goals. Depending on the stage:

1. Pre-product - I can help you turn an idea into a reality by trimming the scope to the essential and then designing, developing, and deploying a product.

2. Early traction - if your product is gaining traction then I can help you focus on the business by taking care of engineering: setting up infrastructure, processes, development practices, and leading product and engineering efforts.

3. Mature product - I can help you lead and contribute to complex technical initiatives behind mature products: legacy technologies and code bases, poor code quality and understandability, overstretched architecture.

Nostr doesn't need to become the new Twitter and I think it fills a fun niche but I think bluesky will eventually be that new Twitter because your average Joe just wants to go to twitter.com/whatever and not have to mess around with other people's domains, private keys, and whatever. Again, I think Nostr is great and eventually I imagine you can just push to both platforms but the people I follow on Twitter are not technical by any means and Bluesky is probably where they will land.

Honestly, this just sounds like scoped identity with extra steps.
