This right here is why we adblock. Google needs to wake up and do something if they really want to stop people from using adblocks on Youtube, or their other properties.
I appreciate the insight from someone who has expertise in this area, but I think it's worth thinking about whether there are more constructive ways of phrasing this.

I doubt we'll see anything in the next 12-18 months, but at some point in 2025-26 I would expect one of the following, in order of likelihood:

1. Microsoft acquisition

2. IPO

3. Salesforce acquisition

The above are also in descending order of valuation. Adobe's $20B was pure pandemic-bubble premium; I doubt MSFT would pay much over half that, Salesforce less still, with an IPO somewhere in the middle.

The more interesting thing to me is actually what Adobe is going to do now, given their near-wind-down of XD. Narayen has almost certainly thought of this, and while it may not exactly be Adobe's typical MO... the opportunity they have now is the old "commoditize your complements." Specifically, to become the biggest corporate sponsor of Penpot.

I generally doubt they will, as it's not really in Adobe's DNA, but they could, and it would be quite an interesting turn of events.
> Most people are able to understand what is broadly meant by "technological development".

I personally don't find someone saying "oh you know what was meant" to be a convincing argument, others may feel differently. The post made a massively overreaching claim about the universal positivity of technological development. If they meant "consumer goods should be adopted as fast as possible" then say that instead, especially if you're trying to build a life-philosophy on it. My core point is that "technological development" is an enormous concept, entailing all sorts of things. To say "more technology means more access to technology" paints over all sorts of dynamics which run counter or orthogonal to that. I'm merely pointing out one such example, there are many more if you think about it for a minute. Feel free to stay focused on the forest, but don't be surprised if you wind up unable to differentiate between a deciduous and an evergreen.

Not even that - I guarantee that somewhere you'll find a T&C that says that only certain employees or company officers can enter into binding agreements that alter the standard conditions of sale.

This is about amusing, but just you saying "oh by the way this is legally binding on you" doesn't make it so.

Not to mention, it's pretty much impossible to get paid with the program in a lot of (most?) countries. As in, you get paid in BAT in some custodial service, but you can't really get it off that service to trade it to your local currency and get it into your bank account. You can't get it onto a blockchain to swap on a DEX and convert to USDT or whatever. And if you can, you'd be eaten away by fees.

Add to that, tax on BAT payments would be a nightmare to figure out.

I’m fairly concerned about how broadly some are interpreting “operating in the EU”.

The furthest this has gone that I’m aware of is the Dutch, alongside other EU authorities, has issued a fine to an American website, alleging that they subject themselves to EU jurisdiction by merely hosting information about EU citizens. This seems to me to be too far.

After full scale invasion support of Bandera increased because he was vocal proponent of independent Ukraine, not because he was a nazi collaborator.

But you also suggested that cuda is less critical. But there's so much that is dependent on cuda, even if it is directly visible. You're right, that if AMD does fully integrate into Pytorch, something they've been working on btw, then yes this will be a big step up for AMD as ML is one of the biggest sectors. But it's important to realize that this is not as easy of a task as it sounds. They have been working on this for years and every step of the way Nvidia is still improving too.

To be honest, I first read this entirely in a mobile browser tab in HTML format during breaks at work (until I got so hooked I began reading it on my phone while sitting on the porch for hours at a time).

Most Rust developers can outright ignore gccrs, and those that do want to use it will never need to look at the implementation. Would it be nicer if the GCC frontend was written in Rust? Sure, I guess. But in a quick look none of the GCC frontends are written in anything other than C++, and introducing a new language here would be an entire project on itself.

And since GCC doesn't actually include mature Rust support (yet), this would also mean that building GCC would depend on LLVM.

Appeal to authority does not constitute an argument. Your response continues to emphasize the perceived lack of a logical core in fascism, while also pointing out that this perspective is supported by a consensus among those who have studied the ideology. You need to dissect the nature of the argument you're presenting and the distinction between logical structure and ideological content.
To effectively argue that fascism lacks a logical structure, provide specific examples of its internal inconsistencies or contradictions. Simply stating that experts agree with your view does not address the core question: What specific elements of fascist ideology lack logical coherence?

I am not aware of any experts who have studied this ideology and concluded that it lacks logical structure. If you maintain that such experts exist, could you please provide citations for their arguments along with the relevant sources? Assuming you reference these experts, you should be able to accurately cite their specific arguments and sources. So please provide precise citations relevant to the context of our discussion, along with the sources.

I will argue that you are still conflating between the ideological content of fascism and its logical structure. An ideology can be logically consistent in how its principles interconnect and support each other, even if those principles are based on fallacious premises or lead to unethical conclusions. The fascist emphasis on nationalism and authoritarian control logically leads to policies that suppress dissent and prioritize state power over individual rights. This is a LOGICAL progression of ideas within the framework of the ideology.

You assert that not everything with an "idea" is logical. While this is true, the logical coherence of an ideology is not just about having ideas but about how these ideas are systematically interconnected and rationalized within that ideology. Fascism has demonstrated a certain internal logic in how it articulates and rationalizes its principles, such as the belief that a strong authoritarian leader is necessary for national unity and that individual rights can be sacrificed for the greater good of the nation.

You mention that fascism is riddled with inconsistencies. If these inconsistencies disrupt the internal logic of the ideology, then please identify them.

So if you want to effectively argue that fascism lacks a logical structure, then go beyond stating the consensus of scholars (appeal to authority) and to specifically identify where the ideology fails to maintain logical consistency. Without these specifics, your thesis relies too heavily on an appeal to authority and a general dismissal of the ideology without addressing its internal logic.

HN is particularly arrogant about some subjects, because it seems like having read a few papers, some people think they know more than experts in the field.

Often times they seem to have just read the papers that justify something they already believe in. Economics in particular is not a science and extremely dangerous one to have "opinions" about, since I feel like it's got a heavy ideological bent forced unto it due to political considerations.

There are economists like Steve Keen and Joseph Stiglitz who seem to make sense to me, and then there seems to be a lot of gobblygook. But I'm not an expert nor would I say I categorically know what I'm talking about in this area. I just try my best to listen.

I'm wondering why is there zero competition for Figma? I understand their app is basically a browser-like engine running inside the browser - which is cutting-edge tech, tough to copy, etc.

Well that's the rub ain't it? Punishment, at its root, is just a method for control. The more brutal the punishment, the more fear is created, and fearful people will then obey commands (laws).

It's such an infantile mindset, I'm frankly surprised it has stuck around this long.

We all just want to live, and enjoy the fruits of our lives, our friends, our families, our work. When a social break happens due to anti-evolutionary behavior, that situation needs to be corrected. Threat of punishment never needs to come into it.

Important to remember that the distributions here are multi-modal, so averages don't represent the data well. For AAA games I think you're way off. Looking at the 5 top played games in 2023, "main story" to "completionist":

Title Main Story (hrs) Completionist (hrs)
Baldur's Gate 3 57 146
Super Mario Wonder 10 19
Starfield 22 145
Zelda: ToTK 59 235
Hogwarts Legacy 27 68

Of these, the first two are co-op but not the same kind of multiplayer I think you allude to. Super Mario Wonder is not, I think, what many people would call "AAA".

If we add Spider-Man 2, that's still a 17 hour main story, and has been criticized for being "too short". Many people who purchase AAA titles do expect 20-30 hours of entertainment, for a ~$2/hour return. And the Game of the Year is the title with the second best ROI!

> the wealthy have a higher tax burden because they have most of the money

Well duh. This isn't really an argument. This is one of those "facts" that is so obvious, yet people think it should be somehow shocking, like "90% percent of accidents happen 5 miles from the home", well no shit, you have to drive in the 5 mile radius to go anywhere, or to get back home.

> A family that makes $200,408 gross taxed at 18.38% is still left with $163,573. A family making $12,439 @ 9.78% only has $11,223 where every dollar counts in terms of trying to keep a roof overhead and bellies full.

And...what is your point? This is perfectly reasonable. Look generally speaking (of course there are outliers and edge cases), but the more money you make the more responsibility you have. A line cook doesn't have as much responsibly as a franchise manager, a franchisee manager doesn't have much responsibility as corporate district manager, etc. Why would anyone strive to have jobs with more responsibility, if you are just going to tax them to oblivion where a senior VP now takes home the same as line cook? Having the senior VIP take home much more money, is reasonable and fair.

Ideally taxing income is generally immoral, IMO. A much fairer system would be to ditch income tax entirely and just have a VAT. But somehow people are deluded into thinking VAT is "regressive", which its not.
The GP said median, which should reduce the bias of the outliers.
It's not that I don't believe but rather I don't see how the proposed solutions address serious economic and international relations problems that need to be solved.

The first is how to compensate oil producers for lost wealth, because if you don't compensate them they'll find ways to keep selling. The second is what to do about the China and India, who are critical to an effective response due to their size and influence but are also under developmental and economic pressures that conflict with serious climate change policies.

That leaves the UN pushing a lot of expensive policies onto the G7 nations, who are all struggling economically, with the hardest part of the plan (above) almost completely unsolved.

The reality is,unfortunately, that the disparate interests are not going to united to fight climate change under UN leadership. This is an intractable problem. In that case the G7 nations should be planning around mitigation and next generation nuclear power rather than fanciful and expensive "green" schemes that will only serve to crush the middle classes of those nations while yielding no relief.

It has never been realistic for people to find the truth, perhaps save those who are focused on a very narrow subject of truth and are dedicating their lives to the study.
