"A death star of death stars".

He's a good businessman.

His market analysis around zip2, PayPal, tesla, and spaceX were spot on.

Twitter, not so much.

When will gta v online be unbanned from SteamOS?

Dammit.

You may be right. You and Zem can live on an island in your anarchist utopia.

Back to reality there are more bosses everywhere your philosophical position won't wish out of existence.

You have a job, don't you?

Your actions are controlled by their consequences, not cops.

You go to work, like everyone else. You are civil to people - because you choose - and keep your job.

Your freedom is a false illusion and can be boiled down to statistics, your zip code, age, IQ, etc.

Even your advocacy of uncaused agency is, itself, fully caused, reinforced, shaped and controlled.

And I never said evolution is exclusively a reference to natural selection- it's cache is due to the prestige of such ideas. Your sloppy usage and weak defense of such use doesn't prove anything.

I can police English if I am as free as you say I am. That's "my choice".

A certain owner of an electric car company comes to mind.

MangioneFS / LuigiFS ?

As someone once said "the network is the computer".

There are wonderful texts by people who didn't rape minors or advocate for its legalization(although arguably the latter is an opinion, while the former is a crime).

Just sayin'

Apparently Mr Ginsberg was a friend to young men. And not in a good way:

Bosses exist because they will themselves into it. Bosses aren't invented by rational necessity.

Bosses make themselves boss.

There's no need for anarchism either.

People cant do what they want. What planet are you on?

Laws, social norms, peer pressure, karma moderators are ALL telling you what to do.

The only reason "evolution" is thrown around is bc of natural selection. To use evolution as a term is to imply it.

And natural selection applies to cultures, behavior (see reinforcement learning, selection of responses by consequences) etc.

There is no freedom anywhere.

Wow, everyone breaks the law sometimes....

Gosh. I guess we're all robber barons at heart.

I guess when PG&E legally ignores requirements to trim electrical lines and people die, well the CEO didn't get any criminal charges, so the dead can be comforted that being burned alive wasn't done by a "criminal" quote un quote.

We all cause people to die by our greed... sometimes.

I survived multiple "atmospheric rivers" unscathed.

And a super typhoon on vacation.

Indeed, it's marketing slop as a pretense for a hiring freeze.

"Incredible AI productivity" translation: we want to squeeze more work out of our existing workforce for even more super-profits!!!

Welcome to the meat grinder.

There are two kinds of people in the world, and you're one of them.

If I am not the boss of you, and you aren't the boss, then someone else is the boss of you.

Did I miss something?

We all got a$$holes and opinions and most of them stink.

You give me your stinky opinion saying mine stinks.

Well, you're wrong of course.

A claim to "evolution" meaning "change" is simply an excuse for anything. Evolution is about selection and I'm the big bad wolf eating your baby children: you go extinct. That's evolution, not some cheesy anything goes resignation.

Devils advocate devils advocate: don't waste your time arguing nonsense.

Imagination is an English word, because it obviously is. Common man's definition. The sky is blue, I don't need to prove it or define blue.

My bacon came from a pig. It doesn't mean the bacon is a pig. It's breakfast. An English breakfast. And the French are pigs. See?

Nonsense.

English is a beautiful language and adding junk words to it is unnecessary.

Keep your headcannon and use your imagination.

A sad excuse for criminal conduct. Believe it or not there are lots of law abiding businesses, and companies that compete on quality, service, and price.

And even if that were an extreme minority (and I don't think it is) we should praise them as models instead of resigning ourselves to mediocre businesses using illegal tactics to control a market for super profits.

It's only past history if they stop doing it.

If you try to download and install chrome they do the same visual obfuscation, hide the button, and deceptilink you to use their browser.

Nothing has changed bro. Open your eyes. They never repented.

Indeed.

Let's see how that works out when we're doing 65mph in an autonomous drone car with no steering wheel.

Once something wrong was identified and it should have done so independently, the passenger should not have to intervene at all.

Yeah totes fake drama.

Like 90% of our news. Even the weather is like all drama "atmospheric cyclone tsunami" and ends up as light rain with some flooding, like last year.

It's called "drifting donuts" and that's a feature, not a bug.

I read 5 vaguely written paragraphs of generalities and then am being told about the sham "effective altruists" who gave us Scam Bankman Fraud as their best known adherent.

This article doesn't say anything afaict.

Maybe it should start with "don't be a fake altruist"?

Microsoft has been breaking the law for years and was found guilty of antitrust violations, among others.

Bill Gates, the friendly philanthropist, was/is a business criminal. His company hasn't changed.

They waged a war of "FUD" against open-source software.

And so on.

And Google is hardly a saint either. "Do no evil" was just marketing from that surveillance advertising firm.
