Or... "how humanity fell for yet another promise of Lucy's to not yank the football away" if you just follow orders

From religions promise of forever life with your loved ones to "starts a SaaS! Disrupt!"

All just political ploys of the elite class of the day. Cause the kids stupid lizard brains take decades to figure it out


Really? Your argument is shareholders who engage in menial labor of buy low/sell high should receive the most reward from collective labor investment?

Found Elon's HN burner account


That has little to do with "Japan" and more to do with "that's how it went back then."

There's stories all over about Hollywood dumping physical copies of films, sets and props only to later regret it.

No one knew if a sequel or trilogy or decades of fan service would happen. They didn't care like our rose colored glasses of time make us see.

American comics and Star Wars has had their continuity reset.

This is just "grass is greener" type thinking. It's only ever been the US fan culture that cared; most creators just see it as a paycheck


Yeah my point was to downplay how specific this is to Japan, and focus much more on it being a pretty Nintendo specific phenomenon, though you're also right that video games (and other media) as a whole tended toward this sort of thing at the time, whereas now the painful lessons of losing this stuff is more apparent to creators.

Elected and unelected government workers impact not just us but the world given the interconnected nature of modern logistics.

They can accept the obligation or stay home.

It's not supposed to be career for personal gain like being an actor. Every LARP has been socialized as a "destiny" or "calling".

Except for the average person who lives at the whims of "the market".

The downside for the majority of insulating 600k elected officials and the 1.3 million lawyers and public employees is just more of the same middle age's stratified society crap

I say we roll out america.gov decision models trained in public, deployed in public, built around a legal philosophy of immutable rights to shelter and healthcare and the related technology development and have it bubble initiatives for public vote that don't violate the core legal rights

And if some dealership owner doesn't like it remind them they're one meat of billions and we don't really need them

This whole Mr Rogers touchy feely kid gloves for the professional managerial class, all told fewer people than died during covid, not a truly important cabal then, is no different than anointing kings and barons and regional lords financially... their economic condition is sacrosanct and everyone elses is optional

Changed the semantics, kept the ridiculous ground truth

We have the water boards in the Netherlands that are independent governing bodies with their own taxes and elections. They didn't get absorbed by government because people don't trust generic elected officials. I find it absolutely fascinating because it's so incredibly boring. Their job is to manage everything involved in living below sea level.

It shows that government doesn't have to be one giant hierarchical organization arguing over one giant budget. You can use the formula to house this legal philosophy and make it reasonably immutable. Place it outside the control of the generic political battle ground.

Just having a bunch of obvious static values would already stop the most crazy modifications like making corporations into people and money into speech, how male and female should be defined. As if they ran out of real work.

It would be interesting to see an entire philosophy bolted into place.

> This whole Mr Rogers touchy feely kid gloves for the professional managerial class

I'm most offended by blurring the entire spectrum from incompetent and corrupt to brilliant and hard working.


git is a distributed protocol that does not demand distribution happen through github.com

Private keys and private endpoints is all we need


There's also something like radicle: https://radicle.dev/

>Radicle is an open source, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Unlike centralized code hosting platforms, there is no single entity controlling the network. Repositories are replicated across peers in a decentralized manner, and users are in full control of their data and workflow.


> I have a theory

No need to be abstract and theoretical about it; it's how the trickle down economy works.

Boomers and GenX are the ones foisting that reality on them; GenZ is pushing the buttons supply side is providing

Stop talking in vague abstractions. We know this is 100% top down driven self selected interpretations of historical documents by the elders in charge of political interpretations


That's why they're pricing out desktop builders and trying to lock everyone into hosted model consumption from a cheap mobile.

And if you can afford it a VR headset or AR glasses to simulate an 80" display


Isn't the "bad" signal here use of such an outlier agency to begin with?

As in "main ratings agencies" see no reason to bother


It’s a fair point. It’s certainly not good but that doesnt = bad. It could be an artifact of FT deciding to report on a nothingburger.

I’d reserve judgement until i see them report more detailed financials and the big ratings agencies step in with assessment.


At least this thread has investment grade copium

Not a founder but have 20+ years experience in code and 7 before that in design and build of data center blade tech back when that was still kind of new; been in engineering a while

And yeah... have seen all the jargons come and go. DOS, Novell, Windows NT, xml, soap, next, BSD had a moment, chef and yada yada...the vague hand wavy semantics to 2010s web saas will not be spared

The most common shared cross continent language for whats going on is math... stats of state of memory registers

The jargons conjured up on the fly to do office work 30+ years ago all fade away; how many startups went all in on COBOL during the RoR era?

So yeah; hard pressed to recommend tethering juniors to useless jargon as we have most of my career.


Yeah which is why I don't have much sympathy for folks like Tao either

The ability to conjure math is practically as endless as time

At some point the outcome is just generation of new visual art in the form of syntax

We can't physically observe the past or future so we can only theorize and simulate; IMO that's the physical phenomena that belies Incompleteness Theorem; from Earth in the relative year of 2026 my view of the universe is fundamentally incomplete. As such all language describing too far either is incomplete always.

It makes any kind of longtermism, religious or agnostic framework espoused by kids of rich academics, empty. We all gonna stick around 10 more generations just to make sure?

Whole lot of educated people are just peddling euphemism for religious conviction they steeped in as kids but hid behind atheist semantics like "Intelligent Design."
