Probably not Haskell developers, but then again, I don't have enough money for my opinions to be worth anything.

you should probably put less thought into it if you want to be happy & not grapple with such difficult thoughts.

At the point you have money, IMO. Otherwise what is the point of having money?

I thought that electron == chrome

Maybe you should stop lying to your grandparents!

But seriously, nobody was promised anything not dictated by statute. Who gives a shit about what you, specifically understood the statute to mean? By any reasonable understanding of the law it's not even possible for SSI to go without funding, assuming the government is still operational.

What's more real and relevant is that the government only cares about your insofar as you contribute to the private economy. Like what can we do to make those fucks actually pay out and take care of us?

Is there any other way to run a currency? Serious question.

Just posting this to see if people will also flag this random ish

Again, social security is not a mortgage and is not even remotely comparable to one.

> From a philosophic point of view I would say the fact that about half of the electorate do not want higher taxes while the other half wants more government services

Are these not the same people? One half can convince themselves they don't get any payoff from their taxes; the other sees the payoff. Ultimately both expect services from their government they aren't getting, and are upset with services the government does render that seem inherently injust.

The difference is that those who most adamantly state they contribute the most while getting the least actually contribute the least while getting the most.

There is still no solid way to persist RSS feeds (...especially the content they actually refer to) to private storage. Any serious archiving service today will need to undertake snapshotting a website as it stands without relying on such sickly, secondary signals.

...but where RSS is reliable, yes, it's amazing.

Yea, but that matters less than you think in this context as what I want (a bookmark service for bookmarks) matters a lot less than how the service is marketed and funded.

...is there a better reason to like webkit? Chromium certainly doesn't make effort to seem appealing to developers outside of its association with WebKit.

Ok, but you could say the same thing about people being paranoid about social security bankrupting "us", if "us" indeed has any meaning without a welfare state. Ignorance plagues all quarters of society.

Sure, but fewer (sic) features is mostly a better state of affairs, and apple devices are mostly what matter if you're catering to rich westerners (as most products on this forum try to do).

To me, chromium only matters so much as I am forced to care by being employed. It offers very little to me outside of being necessary to enable the "blur" background on my video chats and offers a very shitty corporate UX.

> A product that's designed to strip ads from content for readability doesn't align with their new direction.

Interesting. I saw it as a glorified bookmarking service and saw the readability concerns as what raised red flags for me: mozilla just inherently isn't interested in competing on value rather than on marketing.

The surplus won't be solvent; the program itself is fine by definition. The entire concept of "social security solvency" is fear-mongering by people who want you to think of the entire country like a sack of gold rather than a proper economy.
