I do hope for your optimistic scenario, but I do not expect it.

Yeah the stench of that is quite nauseating at times...

Ah yes someone always rolls out the false dilemma of "the only options are completely unregulated capitalism or completely top down command economy communism". It'd be shorter with…

Yeah like all those external pressures that have kept private mega corps from polluting, monopolizing, pervasively surveiling, brutally exploiting labor, and generating false "scie…

So because you don't like this naming scheme no name should be allowed at all?

Talking about and analyzing the problem might lead to mitigating or even substantially fixing it, which would remove its usefulness as a rhetorical attack on attempts to solve soci…

Yes, sadly this is an easy way for people to dishonestly claim to themselves and others that any attempt to solve problems (other than the "problem" of how to generate ever greater…

There is a trap here of saying "thus we shouldn't do anything about problems" rather than the more reasonable "we should be prepared to iterate on our efforts".

Exactly, it's going to turn out that it didn't work well but it will still get used harmfully.

I think both of you have points that are important parts of its success

Not saying they are the same, no, but you seem to think it is so different that it's impossible for NF to have a business model without stamping out bootlegging? If so, they're don…

I am glad you have never had to deal with a job search after being fired so someone can make the quarterly numbers that result in getting a bonus that is more than you will earn in…

"Who else will do better, make only perfect decisions, such that no one else ever need touch or address the topic again?" Nobody, of course, but complaining about "kids these days"…

Yes, even the original link admits their "simple is better" solution is only better in limited use cases. "Our software will be so much better quality if it won't do the things you…

Once upon a time I had to track down a catastrophic performance failure (process that should have taken a few minutes couldn't finish in the THREE DAYS allotted to it as a maximum …
