Elections at the local level should be governed by the locality. I do not see the need for standards at a higher level, other than for democracy to be maintained in some fashion. External data reporting certainly need not be standardized at

I think that we should encourage elections to _not_ be standardized. The problems among various polities in the USA have many different issues and should not be forced to conform to a specific way that elections should be done. This is a so

I met some of the Feldera team last year at a conference and their knowledge of incremental computation engines is top-tier. Good luck to you all! As discussed at the end, the storage costs for such a system may be exorbitant. How much spac

This seems as useless as land-acknowledgements; "Hey look we took your stuff and are not paying you for it, and we are still profiting from it!!"

This is certainly a reaction to economic strangulation of a huge percentage of people in the economy. Of course, if people want to be near each other they should, but this phenomenon is a direct result of the crumbling conditions for the wo

True, I meant the shell, as `cd` is a shell builtin. However, `git-checkout` does implement this behavior. `git checkout -` will checkout the previously checked out branch.

As an addendum to Rule 7, `cd -` takes you to the last opened directory. Or is `cd` considered part of the terminal emulator's job, as a built-in?

JSON as a data-format should not have comments. JSON as a file-format should allow comments. The problem is this conflation between the two.

Yeah, I am not against using tools of production. My problem is with ownership. You do not own the product you create with Photoshop[1], and you do not even own Photoshop anymore! It's all leases and terms of 'service' and no

Yes I agree. I think that my main issue is that with today's software, we are assuming the identity of our 'digital twin', instead of having it firmly separated from us. This is my main problem with representational aspect of

Out computer infrastructure today is anti-human, you see it in the examples given here in this blog post. Instead, we must start using computers and software in particular to create environmental computing infrastructure. Environmental com

How has private equity become such a strong force today? They are eating the world it seems. Blamed for strangling stable chain-restaurants[1], shuttering toy stores[2], and now ruining bowling! Of course, these were not the best performing

Talk about affluenza, telling someone 'go read theory'. Put your arguments in your own words.

Today, our industries abuse our planet's resources for the short term benefit of all of us. Abolishing landfills is a confirmation that we are past such a myopic technological level. We no longer need them. > Drive outside a major c

I certainly do not want to go back in time to a pre-industrial society. I do want to go _forward_ into a truly post industrial society though, and not simply hide the dirty industries into the poorer parts of the world. But, the technology

I reject your argument entirely. Your nihilistic thinking is what continues the crisis. Reject the void, choose productivity, and work to make the world better.

COVID also gave us clear knowledge that it is easy to define socially necessary labor. Most jobs out here in the USA are downright bullshit jobs, and our 'labor' only contributes further to the current ecocide.

I have some hope for a technological solution to the climate change problem. However, I constantly struggle with the question, what if we are wrong? What if we will not be able to fix it fast enough? We are sitting on our hands and praying

Other major cities must start making significant headway in this direction. As a New Yorker, I am very interested in getting rid of all cars in NYC. NYC (Specifically, Governor Hochul) has "indefinitely paused" the rollout of a ne

The issue is that the social safety net has been set afire and left to burn. We need a new narrative of a social structure. I have been calling it the 'social base case' instead of safety net.

Given the article's contents, I wanted to add a data-point. Also anyone who makes news/etc. that does not push an agenda is simply pushing the hegemonic agenda - Modi's, in this case.

I am friends with a couple of documentary filmmakers based in India, and they tell me of some intense censorship of media there, along with other ecological and human rights issues. The authoritarian turn throughout the world has to be met

I am using these terms because I expect people to know what I mean. If you do not understand me, I can explain further.

Yes, it is up to the global north, if they are going to continue to be the manufacturers of our ideology today, to bear the burden.

The Global North needs to start taking action and facing justice for causing the ecocide in the south. Many of the current ecological crises are in the poorest countries, and by the time it hits the North it will be too late. https:/&

This sounds great! I often think about the weaknesses about simple majority voting, so having work put into consensus protocols is quite useful. Is there any demo or illustration available of this system?
