> Because housing is essential to life does not mean it should double in price every ten years.
I agree, and didn’t mean to imply that the price rising is inherent to these services. What I should have spelled out is that a capitalist market can only self regulate when the buyer has the ability to say no. Largely a customer of health, housing and food has limited ability to opt out.
His interpretation of “industries that are allowed to innovate vs those where it’s illegal” is laughable.
Has Marc considered that there might be some other fundamental difference between the inflation-positive sectors of health, education, food and housing, vs the inflation-negative ones of TVs, cars and software subscriptions? I’ll give you a hint Marc: some of these are essential to life and society and some are not.
The flaw in this argument is assuming that you could do a good job of diagramming a system without describing the use cases of the system. My web dev skills are not proprietary, but the processes and systems I have worked on are.
Would love to hear from the "I don't think we need it on Linux" folks. What is it about antivirus that we don't need? Is it the wrong solution to securing a workstation?
Kind of infuriating that the blog post doesn't mention what "Wickr Me" is. The link in the page footer to "Wickr Me" only goes back to the same blog post.
That's not true. https://status.heroku.com shows that the incident is ongoing, that they've disabled the GitHub integration, and don't have plans to reenable it until full assessment is complete
The linked article doesn’t support your editorialised title. I think what you’re trying to say is that it’s not a standard. It’s still a useful term to describe a set of modern web standards and features.
That video is dreadful. How can the producer equate owning nothing with "socialism, communism and totalitarianism" when this is the effect that we're seeing under capitalism?
The documentarian shouldn’t be required to provide an answer or an alternative. Their job is to present material and it’s up to us to respond.
In fact what I _really_ dislike about Netflix documentaries is how heavy-handed they are with the solutions that they dictate, James Cameron’s veganism propaganda being the most obvious example - completely coincidental that he owns a plant-based protein manufacturing company
