How much of a standard is it though, really? To me it just looks like "Call your docs SKILLS and organize it like this". And if you're just making docs and letting your models go b…

In what type of society do I not have to do that? Even if I live in a society where everything is collectively owned, I’m still forced to work for the collective (of which I have o…

What is the difference exactly? Being forced to work for the democratically elected government versus being compelled to work for private businesses?

I think the fact that people can pick and choose which contracts to engage in, can back out at any time, and in many cases if you live in a rich country, opt out altogether. Even i…

When you say "weaponized to", it makes it sound like there's some actor attempting it. Don't ideological bubbles form naturally? (People like to hear what they agree with) In the c…

A lot of the counter arguments people have made seem to be: "no one can choose whether or not to participate in the system, therefor it's serfdom". I'm curious why people don't jus…

Isn't "work or starve" just a fact of nature? In what system do people not have to work to survive? (aside from a system where robots do all the labor)

Can you explain how feudalism in the past had a far milder impact on individuals?

I guess one difference is, the factory workers pushed towards engaging in brutal labor actually had it rough. It's unclear whether the current system bring "horrible conditions" th…

"You can control the people of the entire world with computers. Their socialization, their education, their culture, their employment, the very flow of money, all of it is controll…

"You're just worshipping the billionaires" is not a good rebuttal to the author's arguments. You haven't addressed "Try getting a job without LinkedIn. Try buying a phone that does…

Sure, there are pressures for resource procurement that influence our decision making. The difference is whether the hierarchy is baked into the legal system and less difficult to …

interesting! that's a mathematically provable statement? or do you mean, most data can be represented as a graph? (I'm not asking antagonistically; I'm genuinely interested in the …

one benefit (idk if it applies here) is if the select/put/delete statements didn’t require loading the data in memory; so you could query massive data files with limited RAM and no…

I like the idea of using select/put/delete (sql-style syntax) to query non-rdb data storage. It sort of raises the question of, could there be 1 universal language to query relatio…

r should just transition to being a statistics package for the python ecosystem.

I doubt most users care enough (even if this is a real issue). So it seems like the only way this practice could be mitigated is if it somehow is unaligned with OS vendors' (apple,…

Fair enough. Then it seems that should be the lawsuit rather than murder though

wouldn’t you also have to sue car drivers, consumers, and everyone else who touches the fossil fuel industry? (which is everyone) also, what about lives saved / sustained through t…

I have never needed anything more than pip in 8 years of development, and have always run into issues with r packages (every new version of r seems to break 30% of existing tidyver…

Id second this. I used to lose a lot of productivity via desktop tweaking, and have now converted to sticking with gnome defaults (as people have said, gnome really does "stay out …

any advice for what developers should do given you think workforce reduction is on it’s way?

Ok. But should "purpose" be redefined as "outcome", as the parent comment suggests? My thought is no, and that's why "purpose" and "outcome" aren't synonyms in the english language…

fair enough; I agree with that

I'd say you're right here that private prisons are an example of a "bad actor" causing a major problem, and I'd even go as far as supporting abolishing private prisons (though some…
