During the industrial revolution, people thought that all these new machines and factories and electricity meant that everyone would only have to work 4 hours a week since it made everyone so much more productive. That's not what happe

One "side" is actively and intentionally destroying the country, the other is letting them. It's not that both sides are bad, it's that both sides are the same side, working for the same people.

The first one passed with a lot of regular people losing their homes, their jobs, and even their lives. I wish just for once we could have the wealthy elites get their comeuppance without it also screwing over everyone else.

The problem is, if the government is small, then corporations are more powerful and can run over it and do whatever they want. If government is large, then its a much juicier target for corporations to lobby and bribe to get what they want.

If that's all it was ever used for, then nobody would give a shit. Instead those examples you gave just end up being an _excuse_, so that you as a business owner can fire or deny a promotion to someone you don't like because you c

And that hasn't changed at all: “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty hi

> Higher concentration of wealth is not new, it's happened many times and dissipated many times. That's a very clinical way to put it. Usually when its "dissipated", its through war or economic depression or both, and

Sure, so have them take a week-long course and register with the county and get a license. 160 hours of class and 2 years of apprenticeship means you have to find someone to apprentice _to_, so the incumbents get to gatekeep how many compet

Protection racket. They guys doing the installs now would make much less money if just anyone with some tools could start competing with them.

The clerics and politicians in Iran use the US as a great big boogeyman to drum up political support, but until recently most of the regular people just didn't care about the regular people in the US. Same with the people in Iraq, or A

We'll spend a trillion dollars bombing people halfway around the world that never meant us any harm, but paying a custodian to clean a public toilet (and providing help for those that might misuse it) is a bridge too far.

My general rule of thumb is "Use Postgres until you've discovered why you can't use Postgres." Anything you introduce is another moving part you have to operate and maintain, and in the beginning, Postgres can probably h

Nope, `bisect`: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bisect Figure out a command to test it, a known-good sha and a known-bad sha, and it will binary search its way through the history to find the commit that introduced the fa

I rented a car a couple years ago, I think a Jeep of some sort (I didn't pick it), that had this feature. When driving on the highway, if there's a car in the lane next to me, I tend to move over to the other side of my lane to gi

This is my biggest gripe. If you're using docker-compose.yml on a team that mostly uses docker, you can't use use that same docker-compose.yml with rootless podman. Any volume mounts that need to be writable (like the app, or data

As an American citizen, I'm _far_ less uncomfortable with the Chinese government having my telemetry data than I am with the US. In fact, they're just one step above "nobody has my data", and far, far below "US Gove

I'm also a fan of making it 30k:1. You wouldn't even need to send everyone to DC, it could be done nearly 100% remote these days. As long as I'm waving my magic wand around, I'd also like to see it handled more like jury

I'm not sure what you're asking for here. Used to be, the contractor would rent a trenchbox at his discretion. But that means "almost never", because the contractor that doesn't has lower prices than one that does,

That's not the "root", you can go at least one step further: The wealthy CEOs and boardmembers found a way to make even more money, but know that it will make the people who are aware of it angry. So they, as a class, find ot
