If it's the same woman I'm thinking of Office365 is underselling it a bit - she's fully sanctioned by the US. She can't use debit/credit cards, any Apple/Google device or service, Amazon/eBay, etc. She's completely…
Adding TS types to Nix would make it so much easier to write Nix code. Which string do I need here? Oh the type system knows, the language server shows it inline - I don't have to look at the source. I've used NixOS…
It's not quite as bad in Sweden, look at the graph at the bottom of this article by John Burn-Murdoch[0] for a glimpse into we're faring compared to other European countries, and also how other European countries don't…
Yeah, Brexit is a factor, but it's also one of many and it's important we tackle all of them. The private finance initiative (PFI) in the early 00s, is another[0]. Our government's lack of funding is also another ("The…
Depending on what type of video you're watching (pay depend on variables), your one view is probably worth a whopping $0.01. At that point you might be better off asking nicely for Patreon subs, considering about 0.5-2%…
Funnily, it is generally true given that net resource transfers to the global south have been negative for most countries... with the big exception being China[1], so China has benefited off global trade deals like…
Cooperatives have a higher survival rate, both in general and during crises. > A 2013 report published by the UK Office for National Statistics showed that in the UK the rate of survival of cooperatives after five years…
True, but coops are also more selective about firing and hiring. So if you're a bad fit, you're less likely to end up in a coop, and if you do end up there, you will have more stable employment because coops generally…
Cooperatives aren't nonprofit entities – they can be, sure, but many of them are profit-driven. The claim that cooperatives act irrationally (and the implication that they're less efficient) requires some factual data…

Not really, systems affect our behaviour. We created the system that is our current market economy, and we have the ability to construct new systems that encourage better behaviour. For example, studies show that…
There are also interesting instances like social.coop that are run like a cooperative – you join and are expected to donate monthly, as little as $1, and in return you get democratic control over the instance. It can be…
By that same logic you'd make the argument that "94% of abusive work places" exist in poorer countries with far less worker rights. Is that something you want to happen to the US, third world country like working…
In absolute terms, yes we are seeing advancements in tech/medicine and the like and that will always help more and more people, but in more relative economic terms it's questionable whether the gap between poorer…

Yeah, when public transport is done well, people _don't want to drive_. I live in London, I have a driver's license, and I haven't driven a car since I got it years and years ago. Why would I? Instead of having to focus…
What random accusations am I "spreading so wildly"? The fact that Stallman is being accused of various kinds of sexual misconduct is a fact. I did not anywhere claim they were true. I'm pointing it out because it makes…
