I'd prefer the reverse approach. Let's value the "regular Joe" instead of cheapening everyone.

You're referring to the fictitious centrifugal force [0] which is actually a minor change in inertia—very much out shined by the centripetal force of gravity. For example, on earth if you weigh 200 lbs on the North Pole, you'd wei

This is on its face absurd, and makes it clear you've never actually spoken with an unhoused person.

What would the incentive be for a current emacs user? It's hard to imagine giving up org-mode would ever be worthwhile personally.

The productive write the most about productivity, it turns out. I'll say that for me, I hopped across note and productivity apps until I switched to emacs/org-mode. It has not made me wildly more productive, but it has (or can hav

That is a huge "living paycheck to paycheck" upcharge! I get the incentive, but considering how financial planning can be most vital to folks with spotty income, I'd strongly encourage you to bring the price of the monthly

A not-anti-capitalist socialist is not a socialist. TLDR: Capitalism is when production is determined by people holding capital. Socialism is when production is determined by the members of society. So the question being, should an economy

They pair really well together too. At the moment Signal really thrives at replacing texts (ephemeral one-to-one chats), while riot excels at team communication.

I believe the point was that phone numbers are already used as unique IDs people know intuitively. Essentially make it quick to onboard new users Thankfully they are moving away from this with the option to use a PIN instead pf phone #. Not

There's definitely a tension. When employers can treat employees as disposable, there is more firing and thus (sometimes) more hiring. However, unions increase the value of jobs. Union workers enjoy a better QOL and career stability, a

Vox has a union. Without freelance, the workers have more leverage over their employer.

Really cool project! I wonder how long until this sort of software is used in place of blurred-faces. It would be really nice to shoot a public space and instead of worrying about release forms, just anonymize the footage.

Funny, I totally agreed with you until you said far-left instead of far-right! The op-ed section is consistently to the right of Bush-era conservatism, while the non-opinion section is a sort of Biden-centrism (i.e. right of center with lef

Moral relativism does not negate good/bad/right/wrong to the point that they are equivalent to "like" and "no like". That is a radical reduction, and removes the whole process of moral reasoning people use

I'd love it love it love it if the richest companies had this little class solidarity. A nice change of pace. I'd guess many anti-corporate sentiments are rising, and there's just some overlap in scheduling
