Misleading title. Went from a very short note about Why We Think into a TLDR about AI.

Aside, I hate oncoming Teslas at night, feels like high beams permanently on. Effect seems more with Tesla. Flashing high beams at them does no good maybe it's all AI controlled or the drivers don't care.
I bought MS Office Professional some 15 years ago. Having been bit by other vendors, I bought the disks. There is nothing on them that the license is for X years (or maybe there is, .. if so, very well hidden in legalese). Now, the company has been going to great lengths to force me to get a later version and pay them a monthly rent. I do not need it, and already paid for the license for what I use. So I will continue to use Windows 7 or 10 or whatever. I am close to putting together a Linux laptop. I see that Consumer Reports has asked that enshittifier to keep supporting Windows 10. One can only hope. I too, while paying my dues to America, will start to look elsewhere. Thank you.
"3. Break it into smaller chunks"
Most of the rest seem like tricks to con myself, and I am really bad at that!

PS: after posting the link I saw at least one other comment did this, so the feeling seems widespread.
One of his recommendations is unlikely to go far: tech worker unions. Most comments on HN underscore the extent to which techies have bought into capitalist propaganda, which we slavishly repeat. We dream of becoming the next multimillionaire, but it's far more likely we'll get laid off at some point(s) in our career by the enshittification machine. A worker's union isn't communism, it represents the workers who build the systems. Germany, a social democracy, provides for a worker's representative on company boards. This isn't communism!
BTW, it's the reviewer who suggested abolishing companies, not Doctorow. Now that is communism. What we do need is some regulation of companies that have become information utilities. Same as regulations for the water company or the power company.
Healthcare in the United States is broken. Avaricious profit mentality from all the players broke it. We need to vote for leaders who are not on the payroll of these players, to fix this very serious problem. I don't have much hope. Even educated people as on HN keep quoting the same tired capitalist propaganda.
1. What about the annual peaks roughly 5 minutes. Seem to occur in winter? I would have thought summer delays are more, on the average?
2. Mentioning DEI at FAA without any substantial data tarnishes an otherwise interesting study.
Where does this need come from, to be skeptical or suspicious? Of someone so clearly above board?
Wozniak doesn't need to prove himself to anyone. Maybe he feels comfortable enough in his shoes to be very open about himself, and so motivate people to be true to themselves. At least that's my interpretation.
They have health insurance managed by government, not for profit industry.
Nothing to do with communism, as some of the hacker bros are venting. That's just propaganda to keep people slaving at shitty jobs for less pay and lousy benefits.
I upped my (small) monthly contribution. Hope more people contribute, and also work to build public support.
Also, for developers .. please include old fashioned credit cards as a payment method. I'd like to contribute but don't want to sign up for yet another payment method.
