I have no idea why biologists lie about the telomeres so much, it's the cause for natural death.

cauefcr··on The Right to Be Lazy (1883)
That's one reason why co-operatives are interesting, same as unions, they change the balance of power to favor the oppressed by capital, relative to their size.

It's a matter of scale, you could have personalized propaganda for each community.

My favorite part:

> Now the public wants to copy and share — what would a democratic government do?

So the US policy on Latin America is just fine? Embargoes and CIA financed take-over of many states are all fine?

How can someone read the post's article and write GP's comment, I wonder.
cauefcr··on Is our definition of burnout all wrong?
Soul crushed by work millennial here, and this is exactly how it went for me, twice already.

Yes, software copyright and patents are a mistake.
cauefcr··on Ask HN: Do you recall any book or course that made a topic finally click?
Hey, nice comment, just offering the opposite view here: Disagreeing with faith is the point for many of us atheists, not out of arrogance about knowing the truth about the world, but skepticism about what it means to know a thing for certain, and how far away we are from that certainty.
cauefcr··on Is algae the new kale?
Have you been keeping logs of all the vegans you meet to come to this conclusion? This sounds like anecdotal evidence at best.
cauefcr··on Pfizer plans to sell its Covid vaccine at a 10k% markup in 2023
That's absolutely a red-herring, Pfizer can only increase their prices like this thanks to state protection of their business practices and intellectual property.

I hope people realize the problem with having a market for medical innovation, backed by patents and copyright as the way of financing medicine, this level of price gouging and capitalization on human suffering can only exist with the current IP laws, and we see a great reduction of price in countries that break those patents and allow for pharmaceutical manufacturers to produce medicine disregarding IP lawfare.

Just stop financing and starting wars, please.

Edit: also embargoes, please let people trade in peace.

They know, if only the US would not murder and coup every socialist country maybe it'd be solved by now.

Or just find a FOSS KMS and be done with it.
cauefcr··on On True Believers and Mercenaries
Yes, it's a type of organization problem, not a work-ethics problem, those with no incentive to work hard may not, a salaried position, with no stock, no voice in the thing you're building, no career track with actual monetary gains, no (edit: paid) overtime, no vacations, all of these can cause people not to do more than they are required, but most of what I can see being tried is "ping pong table for the team", "free pizza day", "don't ~quiet quit~, you mercenary".
cauefcr··on The smash and grab of Kroger-Albertsons
What's the probability of such a fund appearing, out of nowhere, for you?

Or what's the probability of creating one in your lifetime, from the bottom? That's what those in debt are thinking, that's what those without a stake in the profits are angry about.

cauefcr··on On True Believers and Mercenaries
Very funny to see "wanting to be paid for, and do work both parties agreed to" as "mercenary", as opposed to "making personal sacrifices for the company" being labeled "true believers", when there's little compensation difference for being in one group or the other, so detached from the "owner" against "worker" reality.

I'm still working on a reverse of google-desktop-linux-latest, they've left debugging info in it, maybe someone can liberate their old search algorithm.
cauefcr··on The cumulative advantage of a unionized career for lifetime earnings
Only in capitalism can automation of work be a problem for the workers, as their work is not tied to their/the company's productivity, but to the market rate of wages, which is detached from productivity.
cauefcr··on The cumulative advantage of a unionized career for lifetime earnings
I strongly recommend you to actually read some Marx, it might get you out of the Web3 sham, but here's a good economic analysis of cryptocurrencies if you haven't seen it yet (judging from your username you need to see it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g .
cauefcr··on The cumulative advantage of a unionized career for lifetime earnings
>Compelling someone who doesn't want to associate with you, to associate with you, is not an exercise of freedom. It's explotiation.

Yes, that's exactly why unions are needed, there is no way to live in capitalism without selling your work-force, or living out of rent on other people's work-force, by owning the means of production. If an owner wants to decrease wages of their workers, they may only receive resistance if the workers are unionized, as that is the only (non-revolution) way to sort of even out the playing field.

Just a reminder: Unless you're financially independent, you're not a capitalist, you're a worker, lets not fall for the "anyone can become a capitalist" bullshit, as that ignores the material conditions of most of earth.

edit: grammar.

cauefcr··on Valve's latest Steam Deck trailer briefly plugs a Nintendo Switch emulator
Why does that matter? It's like torrents and Linux distributions, perfectly legal, it's not the software developers intent that makes the file sharing be legal or not, it's the users usage of such software.
