I don't know if you should knock government investment in technological development, seems to have worked pretty well for COVID vaccines, space shuttle for the Moon, and brutally convenient murder machines

911 generally does perform their job well. Your issue is with the police and is valid, but there are many other public services an operator will route to you (ambulance, firefighter...)

Not sure that protection is a utility, but even then I think the reason Cloudflare gets criticism/critique (not harassment...) comes as a result of the online nature of LGBTQ communities and Cloudflare's location in the closest thing to a physical epicenter of those communities.

I don't know what distinction you were imagining, but I think this one is relatively simple

Yeah, it's even in the OP: "Users saying that it's a good idea / product after a demo doesn't mean that the product has PMF. Users desperately wanting to use the product and pay for it ie., retention / repetitive usage is PMF."

The bigger issue is clearly that the advice boils down to something more like "if you don't have buyers, you won't make sales", which is just common sense and I'm surprised we need to have a whole buzzword about it.

You're right that a quote is not necessary, but GP was describing what needs to happen for a quote to become a contract. The quote's existence is the premise.

If you finished that paragraph (or even that sentence), you would have found that the author agrees with you!

> It takes years of practice to become a terminal guru, but here's the good news: we can take a shortcut. We don't really need to know 98% of the stuff you can do with a terminal. If we focus on the most-important critical fundamentals, we should be able to become comfortable with the command line in a remarkably short amount of time.

Wages are certainly included in the conditions of work, some would say they're among the most important!

The whole point of a union is to have a way to challenge management effectively if their work conditions are worsened in the name of "efficiency".

This comment drastically underestimates the amount of capital spent on suppressing union activity, it's not as if they're operating in a vacuum.

Well, it seems like you can't do those things when you're asleep... I suppose either you find a way to move those responsibilities to when you're awake or you can't use this technique.

I actually disagree with 2 parts of your premise

1. I don't think we're actually talking about that much power, in most instances the issues amount to "not behaving professionally in an environment that wants to have a professional character"

2. What would it need to be for you to consider what power it gives as "earned"? I'm surprised since it seems that power being explicitly delegated by the project should be enough by any measure.

As curious as I am about what you think snitching to Paul Graham would accomplish here, the comment is likely downvoted because it undersells the importance and stickiness of defaults for most customers.

What features do you gain by architecting tmux/screen that way? It seems like you'd lose a nice feature, the ability to persist sessions' appearance after the client exits

I agree (I think), we need either free college or a livable minimum wage or both to solve this problem. Disagree that we need to have any low-paying jobs at all, but I suppose your high school could run a fast food joint for the students, if we really need that sort of thing?
