Yes this is a fascinating insight to the world - it's too complex for accurate prediction, you have to instead do preparation and adapt as events occur.

You can buy remote country houses for around 100k ..

At what point are we as a society going to call out this self interested promotion and self entitled freeloading for what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm interested in what you're saying, I think, I wish it was clear and unambiguous so I could understand it.

For the benefit of us all, any sources and links to educate on this :)

Sentence, long

Plus financial backing, and/or inside influence on the process. Cheating is rampant is some cultures, and I guess some people even basically but their whole degree

You tell yourself that because you're making money from it.

I agree in an egalitarian sense.

The thing is mostly those people not working are not productive people generally.

Whether it's through lack of relevant skills, or lack of volition and opportunity, or drugs, or inter-generational welfare, or whatever.

The reality is some people take and take and don't create. It's cheaper to pay someone capable and motivated a programming salary than try to get those people to be productive, otherwise human resource markets would have used those people already.

Yes this is an important point that is usually overlooked in arguments about taxing externalities. e.g. GS makes off with bank from introducing carbon tax

I can see where you're coming from.

AFAIK, in common use the word coup involves the military taking control of the government.

Do you watch youtube? Get email from people using Gmail. The list goes on, if you think outside your box.

My comment is not limited to workspaces, that's a strawman.

I expect this is true, and shows the ridiculous scope creep of government snooping and stalking on individual privacy for what it largely is, power grabs by individuals in government drunk on the power of control.

That said, do you have a source?

How about 'attempt to undermine the government'? That is much more accurate than coup.

Words have meanings, and using the words inaccurate/the wrong meanings is saying one thing but meaning another, and the word for that is lying.

Absolutely correct.

It seems in vogue to use words without understanding the actual meanings. Most people haven't read history and speak, loudly, of that which they don't know.

Yes. Just stick to cash.

Its been tested and its proven. It works. Its stable.

Lets focus societal change on fixing climate damage instead of gambling with our economic structure adapting to new high risk changes.

Yeah, compartmentalized design.

Isn't it much cheaper just to get a beefy workstation with fast SSD and enough RAM so everything's in RAM. Maybe there's occasional waits but it's very short, most coding becomes super fast also with e.g. Visual Studio.

Maybe, but you can't easily stop Google using you. Or FB, etc etc

i basically ignore all the recommendations ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks cool, but I found that too many monitors is more light radiation blaring into my eye sockets, and I found if causing inability to sleep normally as well as possibly affecting my vision.

I had a 75" TV but the amount of light that thing emitted hurt my eyes if I watched it too much.

I went back from 4 monitors to just two, a 32" 4k one and a 1920p one for screen sharing in meetings with people with normal size monitors. And a smaller TV :)

I was so sad when my old super-IPS korean yamaguzi died. 2560x1600 30" but incredible clarity, modern monitors with higher PPI look so bad and fuzzy compared to it. Dual link dvi for the win!

Could be a geopolitical move to gain resources, I've read some analysis that Russia's strength is currently peaking and will decline, and the territory that has been captured in Ukraine has coastal land around newly discovered gas fields.

If that's the case I doubt that it would have been done if the current outcome was known in advance.

I agree with you, I could never bring myself to invest my own livelihood into these walled garden ecosystems where you're a digital serf beholden to an overlord who can take your years of effort whenever they want.

Open web is where it's at, and windows application though even windows is starting to get locked down and having other problems.

The future is clearly web, for me at least.

It's not meant to be funny. It's tragic.

It's showing that the priorities of pushing identity politics down everyone's throat is soo out of perspective. Identity politics driven agenda's are such a idiosyncratic luxury that's only possible because of serious people doing serious things.

The serious things are what matter, the out of perspective moral outrage over LESS important things is so overblown. The silent majority is sick of it, totally sick of it.

After countless female leads in fighting roles pushed in agenda based Hollywood brainwashing, and the era of immense sociopolitical pressure to push the 'women can do anything' line, perhaps the answer is just don't segregate.

Instead of the subjectivity, remove all the segregation and let reality sort it out.

Would certainly clear up a lot of cognitive dissonance.

Yeah, most sensible people don't like to argue with fools for fear of being mistaken for one by sinking down to that level.

But the cultural ideology trolls clearly need to be pushed back on and put in place in the larger perspective, where their concerns are overall minor.

This is a great illustration of the point I like to use -

arms race heats up just as china reveals space nukes america responds with trans admiral

Yeah but it's a matter of perspective. It's logical that the majority matters so much more, won't someone think of the majority? Majorities have rights, too

As a meta response, this might be relevant

"arms race heats up just as china reveals space nukes america responds with trans admiral"

As your first paragraph alludes, logic is a good test for what is actually wrong and should be pushed back on. That includes detecting those agenda driven drivels!
