I’m not saying I disagree with the wording of the article. I’m saying that if one does disagree, then framing it in a context that makes more sense to your personal set of morals basically fixes the semantics and you can move on with actually discussing the article’s points.

I think if a certain HN crowd doesn’t like the phrasing of “AI colonialism,” just substitute in “capitalism” and maybe it’ll sit better with your personal opinion (for better or worse).

I'd be interested to see the physics specifically, do you have a link?

and Webflow

We are in a big migration project at work and one of the goals is to rewrite all 30 or so WordPress sites into Astro. It’s so much fun to cut out all the blackbox plugins with paid features and cruft, and just have something work as I intended. I’m stoked.

It’s an interesting view. In this case you are claiming the victims are bound to the creator/vendor of the software/service, not the hacker?

To be fair, that is an hour-long trip in the best case scenario

Withdrawing from citalopram after dropping out of college was one of the worst summers of my life. Brain zaps are real.

An afterglow lasting a month or two with little to no urge to drink at all. It’s harder now, I’ll get a random urge to buy a sixer occasionally, but the benefits of stopping for me are still worth it.

After 20 years of waking up nearly every day with at least a low-grade hangover, I finally found something that works to prevent hangovers 100% of the time!

It’s called “getting surgery and experiencing anesthetic epiphany” - 15 months so far with no booze.

I’m overwhelming white ancestry but with some remnant traces of melanated ancestry (> 1%) and I tan very easily. I’ve been mistaken for hispanic or Black before during the summer. My mom is much darker than me.

We both get sunburns. My even darker grandmother got sunburns. My Black friends get sunburns. I am not sure that you are correctly correlating your experience with actual facts about the sunburn resistance offered by melanin.

Increased melanin provides some protection against burns, but it doesn’t make you immune. There’s also the aspect of UV damage without burns, which is still harmful and is not affected by melanin levels.

I don’t think this is correct, Black people still get sunburns

That’s the general idea on how Prop 13 works - what you miss is that it can simultaneously make any new development attractive relative to a frozen parcel and make dense residential development less attractive than competing land uses. Why build apartments when you can build a hotel? That’s if the incumbent wants to sell in the first place, which they historically don’t since there’s little to no economic pressure to do so.

Your parking spaces point is somewhat circular. Southern California is not uniformly dense. The major reason for why there’s so much parking is because it was mandated by the government.

I think we’re on the same path to reasoning though: status quo zoning in expensive US metropolitan areas generally sucks, Reagan-era housing tax policy also sucks.

There are a lot of conclusions which do not follow the evidence here.

You’re using similarity of bad behavior to imply similarity of harm, while simultaneously admitting you don’t have the statistics showing similarity of harm.
