Account created two weeks ago, posting pretty much only right-wing propaganda comments.

A bit suspicious...

That happened during the Biden administration though, now the situation has changed quite drastically

> The US has and will come to your defense

While threatening tariffs and a hostile takeover of Greenland?

Why though?

I'm worried these technologies may take my job away and make the balance between capital and labor even more uneven.

Why should I be happy?

Just because the new name may be geographically accurate doesn't mean it was a good idea to change it.

The change was clearly for propaganda reasons, and that is what makes people upset

Worth noting that most of that user's history is right wing propaganda

Not if they're from PG apparently

My feed was mostly leftist but since musk took over I started seeing a lot of musk posts and far-right propaganda.

Twitter is far from being a neutral platform.

> Musk was left-leaning not so long ago

So what? He's been clearly far right leaning since before he purchased Twitter.

He's been one of the main supporters of the Trump campaign and he's vocal about his political ideas. Twitter has no credibility as a neutral platform as long as it's run by him

How can a platform owned by a far-right man with a clear political agenda be the place for "political balance"?

It's inevitable that left-leaning people will increasingly leave Twitter, as long as it is run by Musk

There were other similar (ie. nasal) vaccine candidates for COVID, like the Cuban MAMBISA [0], though it seems it never got final approval

Or just use evil-mode and get the best of both worlds

For sure the situation won't improve under the current government, but there have been improvements in the past.

TBH I just hope that honest taxpayers (which I'm sure are the majority of people, given employees can hardly avoid taxes) will realize that this system is a problem, and start pushing for a more just fiscal system.

Indeed, the Italian state is totally capable of enforcing taxes.

However it lacks the political will to go after (especially some categories of) tax evaders, as they're a big source of votes in particular for rightwing governments like the current one.

How is this relevant to my comment?

As an Italian I agree that taxes are rather high, but enforcing them only on a subset of citizens while happily allowing another subset to easily avoid them is definitely not the solution.

I'd be much happier if the government enforced taxes for everyone, which would then allow it to either improve services or reduce taxes.

It's not really an arms race, it's more an inbalance between different categories of citizens.

Employees can hardly avoid taxes (as long as they're regular workers), while autonomous workers ("partita IVA") and small companies/entrepreneurs can easily avoid large amounts of taxes.

The latter are a huge source of votes especially for rightwing parties in Italy, so it's not uncommon for governments to make it easier to avoid taxes for them.

The current rightwing governemnt went as far as calling taxes "state's pizzo" (where "pizzo" is the payment Mafia asks for protection), it raised the limit for usage of cash, and it's discussing measures to forgive debt of tax evaders ("pace fiscale").

So no, it's not an arms race, it's just that it's convenient to let it happen for some political parties.

Unfortunately, in the current economic system having a bullshit job is way better than having no job (unless you're rich of course).

Yet the fact that shareholders want to get richer doesn’t mean that laying off people when a company is drowning in money is ethically right.

I’m pretty sure that if you need some stock to grow in order to support your children, then your influence on a public company is virtually irrelevant.

You’re claiming that a relevant amount of Americans accused Trump of being Xenophobe due to his remarks on TikTok.

Do you have any source to back that claim?

Same here.

Growing up fully immersed in the capitalist world it’s easy to think that this is the natural state of things.

This book, among others, helped me change perspective and challenge my assumptions about the world.

Totally recommended.

Fun fact, George Soros (the banker much targeted by conspiracy theorists) is a native Esperanto speaker, as he was raised to speak the language but his father, who was a well known Esperanto speaker

Fair point, even though IMHO it's not that hard to apply the concepts from these books to a FP context.

Nowadays there are even resources about DDD specific to the FP world, such as Domain Modeling Made Functional by Scott Wlaschin [0].

I don’t see your point.

DDD is not inherently tied to OOP: the whole strategical part isn’t about code at all, and the tactical part is applicable to FP as much as to OOP.

WRT design patterns, they exist in functional programming as well, they’re just different.

> I distinctly remember when Teslas became popular, the reaction from environmental types was often frustration because apparently environmentalism is supposed to be about sacrifice and yet Tesla is allowing the unwashed masses to help save the planet.

Honesty this is hard to believe, do you have any source/example to back it up?

How is this related?

I mean I get it targets the BEAM, but Gleam is a programming language, Lumen is a VM.

Why is this only 8th on HN, when it got > 700 points in 6 hours?

A bit off-topic, but it bugs me how the picture in the article shows a Blackberry Bold running the BB10 OS, which never supported such device. I wonder why they showed a (probably) photoshopped device instead of a real one.

The struggle for privacy and for workers rights, vacation time etc. can coexist, I don't see anything wrong in that.

Very nice!

I would suggest you to add /best as well (unless I missed it and it's already there)
