Same, the ASCII interface is an eternal classic to me, the updated graphics try harder and achieve less (just my opinion).

If they're so valuable, maybe you could spare a thought of thanks that the previous owners passed them onto posterity, whatever the condition. If you don't like the condition, feel free to continue your search. Getting heated over

That's just vanilla regulation. Yes it tends to create market inefficiencies, by definition. Capture entails industry corrupting and directing regulatory bodies.

I think this is plain old regulation, not regulatory capture. For it to be the latter we'd need evidence than it was the incumbents who designed this oversight which they then asked the white house to rubber stamp.

This straw man doesn't merit falsification. Nobody claims wealth alone gives political power. Wealth applies leverage to all endeavors, but political ends still require strategy and operationalization. It's just a lot easier with

A family member lost years of irreplaceable photos and paid apps due to account lock, and doing this across two countries they were legitimately residing in triggered it.

Wonder why he was only charged with contempt, rather than defrauding investors?

Your nervous system extends over your entire body, the brain doesn't live in a firewalled jar.

Yeah not disputing that, just saying it's definitionally wrong to say land "is not the means of production".

This is a sad take, and a misunderstanding of what art is. Tech and tools go "obsolete". Literature poses questions to humans, and the value of art remains to be experienced by future readers, whatever branch of the tech tree we h

Land (or in modern terms, location value) has been seen as a means of production along with labor and capital since Adam Smith.

My bad, went down rabbit hole and got my writers/links confused.

The 2020 adaptation of ZeroZeroZero, mentioned in this article, is one of the best crime shows I've ever seen, with basically zero buzz. Pretty interesting reading the reason for the authenticity.

The weird cousin of "This time it's different": "That time was different"

Yes, but rent seeking isn't even capitalism in theory.

by sooheon 8mo ago

This is misuse of language. Rent seeking is anti-competitive by definition. The current system, as far as it encourages and rewards rent seeking, is anti-capitalist.

Let's flip the hypothetical -- if someone googles for suicide info and scrolls past the hotline info and ends up killing themselves anyway, should google be on the hook?

Could be, but there is another app that does the same thing faster so there must be some optimizations available.

The configuration lies. Even with "Show hints" set to "Immediately", there is a long delay. Feels like half a second on M1 Pro.

Shortcat has a ~second delay before showing links, homerow ( https://www.homerow.app ) is faster.

Overworked is relative. As soon as a way to reduce current workload is available, everyone feels "overworked"
