Other than the fact that you _did_ vote, I think?

My experience reflects yours. Once you have a SINGLE full-time remote employee your team should operate as a fully-remote team. That means online meetings, online communications, documentation, etc.

I started learning Python web-development with Django, but it really didn't click until I learned with Flask and other "minimalist" frameworks first. It could have been the available material at the time, but understanding st

But there was still exchange value. Furthermore, the scale and ease of purchase of lootboxes vs. baseball cards are incomparable.

Basic economics have moved far past supply and demand curves, imo. Also demand is not the same as consumption. You can manufacture demand.

I'd suggest Elixir if you're starting from scratch and _don't_ have to deal with too many third-parties. It honestly feels like the holy grail ecosystem if you're comfortable dealing with the gritty stuff once in a while

They do not _demand_ others help them. They ask. There is a difference.

The financial uncertainty would be appalling.

Can we blame agents for acting rationally under capitalism?
11.
by kjsbfkjbf 7y ago
Possibly because there isn't. The police were created to be state-sanctioned goons.

Also straight up ignoring the millions of people who die under capitalism.

Being _forced_ to sell sex for survival is less palatable. Not the same as flipping an unnecessary TV or lamp.

And looking at other countries it doesn't tighten social classes more than having a 50k barrier... per year.

Since when was societal change a waste of time? Was the civil rights movement a waste of time? Fighting for worker's rights? Independence?

Especially in the US, teachers often have to assume a parental role and take care of children beyond the scope of their "job". The alternative is to watch children you see every day spiral down a bad path.

Sure, and then the already privileged people on HackerNews end up continuing to blindly exploit the under-privileged in developing nation. That sounds like a horrible solution.

There is nothing wrong with that, but careers under capitalism are about _signaling value_. I hope you find a place (or have found a place) where you're appreciated. :)

HackerNews is at best center-left. Maybe not that. The world extends beyond America where being on the "left" involves drone bombing.

This thread is fun. The problems are X, Y, Z but not A (even though A results in X, Y, Z). Do people think lobbiests and corporations are somehow operating outside of capitalism?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to RPI, but does it emulate these games well despite not having a strong (or any?) GPU?

Wealthy westerners not understanding that their standard of living exists exclusively because of the rape of the third world. People need to try being self sufficient for even a week.

Of course, there are layers to everything! I just wanted to provide a perspective that reinforces the OP's point -- different strokes for different folks.

I'm not against regulation. I'm against thinking you can regulate the exploitation out of an inherently exploitative system.

You're also getting at why it's difficult for those underrepresented in industry to make headway or gain knowledge. It's not as easy as "we have a diverse team". :)

There is a better argument than yours imo. If we diverted the funding and manpower in Uber into public transportation... what happens? If we provided more affordable housing/tourist accommodations such that people did not _need_ to ren

The "freedom" the article author is speaking of is the freedom to leech off the labour of others. I agree, it's disgusting. If you are willing and able there should be no free lunch -- and the rich are the ones who leech the

Almost invariably capitalists try to define capitalism as being intrinsic to "human nature" or "society", and are always wrong. If you read the higher upvoted comments -- that statement is believed and taken at face valu
