If that's a "logical conclusion" as you said, then by what kind of logic exactly? I'm curious

> its' logical conclusions

such as?

Something to keep in mind with Nietzsche is that he made enemies out of both Christianity and egalitarian ideology. A lot of the criticisms of him come from these two crowds, and a lot of it is an ad hominem attack on his character

Why do these folks dislike him so much? Because no one saw their flaws and latched onto them as viciously as he did

It's one thing to point out his own fragility and the obvious contrast with his writing, but he never intended to wholly embody the ideals that he wrote about. His goal was to pave the way for others to free themselves from the sickness of the sad passions that these belief sets so eagerly try to cultivate. A sickness from which he himself was not immune

> But the reality of human fallibility leads to terminal ressentiment in the end for anyone fixed in that philosophy. It is a total dead end.

Could you elaborate a little bit? If you're going to disregard his thought with a broad stroke, you might as well

> You either memorized the solution to the random leetcode problem you get or you fail as far as I understand it.

I thought the point was to actually learn the theory behind the question so memorizing isn't necessary? Like for dp questions for example: it's easier to do them if you just visualize the dag

The whole "memorize every question" shtick is the wrong way imo. Just seems very time inefficient to me

> and a lot easier to take in with just a glance

meant a lot harder

> This is not compatible with the statement "developers should be paid". As a developer who would like to make a living, I obviously strongly disagree with this.

If everything is free, then no one has to pay for anything. But everything isn't free. Maybe a bunch of libraries are, but do the suits know how to stitch them together (or even read the documentation)?

And even if it was all free, do you think most people would have the background or patience to sift through it all and turn it into something productive?

Public library cards are free, do you see most people going to libraries and making the most of them?

Even if all software happened to be free, most people don't have the patience to read it. Hence we have people who get paid to read it and figure out what the fuck is going on

> There is no positive benefit of technology created to spy on people online.

There definitely is. Personalization is more effective than blind advertising. This can be either a benefit or an extreme drawback depending on how you see the economic system

> We have seen social media bubbles that arise due to algorithmically driven content discovery/suggestions.

Imo these platforms are bad for personal growth and should be avoided, but so should TV for the exact same reason. You could replace internet with TV in this situation, the addiction problem would still be the same. Getting rid of social media wouldn't solve the media addiction problem

The additional problem with bubbles and personalization is it targets more aggressively, which can lead to people getting targeted by predatory advertisements. The initial problem here isn't the personalization, it's the fact that the economic system is predatory. Personalization is just pouring gas on the fire

> Say what you will about social media, Meta, or daddy Zuck himself, but I am SO very grateful for everything this Company has done for me - it's hardly an exaggeration to say that Meta saved my life.

this is the cringiest one I've heard so far. No wonder it came from someone in middle management

> crypto is generally bullshit, the leaders are mostly grifters and its good to see the tide finally revealing them for who they are.

All the grifters who hopped on post 2020, yes

But the actual implementation of a p2p electronic currency that cuts financial institutions out of the equation? This isn't bullshit, just math. There's a reason why the NYT is so hostile to crypto, and it isn't "the environment"

> We outlaw addictive chemical substances, and maybe such tech should also be looked at in similar light.

Maybe we should ban sugar also? /s

> "The truth is pay-walled, but lies are for free"

Maybe on the internet. irl we have something called a "public library". more people should check them out

imo both truth and lies are paywalled. It's just that truth tends to be a lot more boring than lies, and a lot easier to take in with just a glance

why would anyone want to work for this asshole? It's not like the employees are well paid compared to other companies. If I wanted to get fisted, I'd just go to amazon and get a bigger check for it

because if the number of screens is small and there are few tiers (only 2), passing an identifier around could be overkill

sounds to me like it's an optimization for introducing more tiers than what there are
