Just tell him respectfully, sometime.
As a parent, myself:
That sounds entirely reasonable.
The answer is 2.
Cling to known humans who write their own code.
Snake oil salesmen always encourage the public to bet against the experts, with predictable results.
Someday ethically sourced AI can be used responsibly by trustworthy coders.
But the key is choosing to collaborate with trustworthy coders.
Protect the Dolls, for those unfamiliar. Neat.
I’m constantly amazed that this is a hard subject for people. As the golden rule says:
“I’m not going to reach into your pants, without an invitation. And I prefer no one reach into my pants, because we barely know each-other. Whatever someone tells me is in their pants, I’ll take their word for it, as long as they haven’t flashed me in public. Also, shitting in practically transparent stalls is awful for everyone, and showering with strangers sucks. Let’s all just do less of both.”
There’s been some great ideas here, but I like yours the best.
Bill Burr complaining about being forced to be the pope would be amazing.
“I’m not going to lead mass. Leading mass is Charlie Work!”
Does anyone have any clue?
My best guess would be some relatively passive notification stealing focus.
As reddeadhead mentioned, there’s specific “don’t steal focus” settings. I’ve had good luck with them.
Great analogy.
I think it’s fair to tweak it and leave that second library with full accountability for the lack of desirability.
Domain names don’t start out undesirable, they build their reputation from the content and users.
So it’s like building a second library in a perfectly nice spot, and having that library attract people who dump pollution into the surrounding area, making it undesirable.
I don’t know enough about it to confidently say they’re going to lose all their money
It happened to my relative. They didn’t lose everything, but they lost enough that they’re shopping for a mobile home for retirement, when they previously could have bought a small house.
Plausible explanation.
Immutable distros can usually be set to mutable with the correct privileged command.
It’s essentially security by obscurity. But I disagree with “no benefit”. An infection miss through dumb luck is still a miss, after all.
Or add more competition to the market by having government provide cheap alternatives to food/shelter.
That’s the solution I think all civilized nations will land at, plus universal basic income.
So everyone has an option for effectively free (since their UBI covers it) water, food, shelter, and transportation. But standard free market sources can compete to outdo the public options in any ways the public desires.
There’s plenty still to do, since anyone invotating can outdo the public option, and make some extra money for their effort. While, at the same time, no one has to be quite as dragged down by an aunt with failing health who cannot work, anymore.
And any mega corporations that try to force everyone into closed lousy situations have to at least compete with the public option.
Of course, any mega corporations allowed to thrive will immediately try to kill off public options, which we do already see happen.
Where can i make such a bet?
International stock index funds are, in my option, the best place to make that bet. It’s been a losing bet (compared to other index funds) for decades, but you might notice that lots of folks still buy a solid amount as a hedge, anyway, because they agree with you, or at least aren’t willing to bet their entire retirement that you’re wrong.
Things going to shit, in the US, correlates strongly with Reagen Era economic policies. The term “trickle down economics” says a lot about why it didn’t benefit most people.
In my option, all presidents from both major political parties since Reagan have done more to make it worse, than better.
My conclusion is that what’s really going on is class warfare by the ultra rich against the rest of us…
Well the baker, knowing that everyone has twice as much money, puts his prices up because he knows the market can bear it. That’s the way I reason it.
The good news is this simply doesn’t happen (in civilized modern countries).
People with more money don’t buy twice as much bread, they buy other things.
The bread maker is still competing with milk producers and video game makers and artists.
You can read about price elasticity for more details (and to not just take my word for it.)
Highly inelastic goods (water, transportation, eggs) are the most likely to have runaway price increases.
But civilized countries already have public options to supply these items at cost :public water, public transport, food stamps.
This means we already have the necessary buffers against any impact by UBI. Any provider of an inelastic good who raises their price too far loses business to the public option.
Schwinn and Ferrari will all see slightly more sales with UBI as a few people use their additional income to purchase a bicycle or a supercar, but the bus lines must still run to keep them honest.
The risk is minimal because we already know what public consumption of these goods looks like, when they’re free or heavily subsidized, in each civilized country.
This was really helpful. Thank you.
I remember those days, as well!
Uh… So no gift. Got it.
