Face masks cost 20 cents per mask. I'm sorry but this is a topic you can't just make to be about income inequality

Without high price there would be no incentive for suppliers to rampa up supply, work over time and build new manufacturing capacity.

Just tell them there's a bug and the software isn't working. They'll cancel in the middle of your subscription period.

It's a bazaar, there's no central authority :-)

Probably good if you chose a project you personally/professiobally use and thus know it from an end user perspective, eat your own dog food etc. Good also if you're been interested in the area longer so you're sure you want to work with it long term.

Popper's idea was that people need to be free to discuss and debate different perspectives. When most people don't feel free to voice their opinions I think it's safe to say the culture and institutions we have don't support that goal.

I'd be interested as well. I work for a Californian tech company and I would mostly describe it as "hard left". We have mandatory trainings quarterly where we have to do exams where we say "as long as 50% of tech workers aren't female and black, we 've got a discrimination issue." I've got coworkers who've told me over a beer that they work here exactly so they wouldn't have to work with people who have "other values" and they feel its good those sort of people are outed.

So in essence, feels like a textbook example of what the article was talking about, with leftists having consider able freedom to talk about politics and everyone else marginalized.

That's incorrect. The level of skill and automation potential aren't related. For instance healthcare is a hugely growing market with a lot of low skilled opportunities requiring human interaction.

Well one guarantee is - according to scientific consensus - that this exact same process has been working for the last 200 years, and previously people have always gotten better jobs and a higher standard of living. You think the people working farm jobs or sweatshops had better opportunities at the time their jobs were automated away?

In which way would it be worse?

Worth it in which way? Due to the types?

So the vast ecosystem and ready functionality offered by typescript or other high level languages is worth less than what exactly?

Right, so you're saying we can take rust web backend seriously once Rust is popular in front ends? Cool, I agree, but that's just never going to happen.

You said it. I've got no problems dropping 1200 on a phone when I know it doesn't have ads, yet that's slowly not the case with iPhones anymore. I've got a bunch of my own recordings on my laptop I want to listen to on my phone, yet the only solution Apple has is for me to subscribe to a paid service (Apple music/iTunes whatever) or use a USB cable and manually copy the music to my phone. Then when listening to said recordings on my phone, the music player tries to upsell me with Apple Music.

Or Apple TV+ - I've already got the subscription, yet half of the stuff it shows me on the front page is actually movies I still need to pay extra for, and you don't find out until you try to watch the movie in question.

Going back and forth isn't progress or keeping up with growth.

This is ironic. Cambridge Analytica was a university with an IRB collecting personal data, then later sold to foe-profits.
