Really strikes me as hyperbole, because the article overestimate the solidity (as opposed to leakiness) of the real world and companies and their willingness to create such a feudal society.

The author with his custom designed website would be a much better spot to implement such a rent hardware scheme compared to the likes of HP.

No, you're not sock-puppeting it yourself. But you all are probably friends and cross-promoting. It's a common business strategy these days, but to some underhanded seeming compared to straightforward ways.

Anyhow, we just have different norms of being. I still stand by my above statements and observations, which you reject but has plausible deniability, so we'll just leave it as is.

Why not Claude Code on web/cloud linked to your GH repo?

This is developmental biology: to recognize both inherent and natural limits but also to recognize the ability of humans to adaptively improve their surroundings for the better.

To say that everyone has the same level of skill and talent is harmful for people can clearly see their own ability yet cannot meet the expectations of society. If we believe everyone is the same, then it puts the culpability onto the individual to do well rather than society and government.

Aristotle reflected that king does not beget king, nor does slave beget slave. He thought some to be worthy and capable despite their lowly position in society. It comes from the book Politics.

You know, the whole git 'master' branch stuff has many in the USA exhausted about arguing over words and their meaning.

A good shortcut is to just invent and use new words. USSR-PRC is probably better than arguing over CPC or CCP, which itself probably comes from the Russian CCCP as the Alaska Trump-Putin meeting made me notice.

As per Google: CCCP is the Cyrillic form of the Russian acronym СССР, which stands for Союз Советских Социалистических Республик (Soyuz Sovetskikh Sotsialisticheskikh Respublik).

Other things that may be beneficial to do: not anthropomorphizing countries and using the neuter "it", saying "X government" like USG instead of "Washington DC." Using stand-ins like Washington DC for US Government another word is called metonymy.

Being able to communicate despite differences in status.

Don't try to qualify people.

Do not let others feel contempt.

Don't speak any words outside what someone would commonly be able to accept.

Suppression of ego so others are not uncomfortable. Knowing when to not suppress it if others think you are fake.

As an adult I lived in Georgia, South Carolina, Ohio for internships and visited the major cities: Seattle, SF, Chicago, NYC, Boston, DC, Dallas, Philly.

Most of the United States is suburbanized, and if you want to rent an apartment near the city it tends to be that gray laminate style I've described for $1500/mo with roommates.

Most of the people who managed to have a family in a major city area are doing well for themselves, prior to asset and rent inflation because they have accessible goods and knowledge to them.

I didn't even know what IKEA was until age 18.

Because the national system of laws and transportation forms a certain culture, Costco regardless of the location is the same. The STOP signs in the United States are all the same. The processing of foods all follow certain guidelines. There are certain stores existing up to the limits of the locale, and only certain producers because society has centralized so heavily. So I think my claim of generality is reasonable.

Added you on LinkedIn if you'd like to chat about your experiences moving to Finland. Yes, I might've been too non-specific with my wording. My communication style tends to link disparate topics together, which seems too hyperbole when people read into the words themselves.
