This is just more proof that a federalized society is untenable.

The wealth of the elders is due to many years of printing money.

Of course tacit ageism against the youth to protect old people who cannot do the work of keeping themselves alive is perfectly acceptable.

Everyone everywhere being on the hook to prop up dying people will never be an equitable system.

Deference to the past needs to go. I don’t owe believing other peoples grannies are worth the value printed on government totems of power (coins) and private bank statements (scripture of power with no real power if we don’t accept their validity).

It’s hilarious anti-government types are perfectly accepting of their spreading the gospel of the dollar; that somehow is not government conspiracy to co-opt agency.

Cancel the past. Their spoken traditions need not be ours.

Amazon subscribe and save is the same thing.

I use it for toiletries and other routine consumables at home. Amazon trucks are going to be on the road anyway; may as well save my car trips for actually interesting trips.

I prefer it, did not even notice the change until I saw it called out elsewhere online… relativity confirmed… again!

After butterfly keyboards and graphics card recalls, I think Apple has learned some lessons about selling crap.

Semantic wank aside; it’s not really up to one poster on HN to dictate what is and is not acceptable within a community.

Satisfying their definition is not an obligation.

Apple and customer are free to set the terms of their relationship without your input.

Freedom from, freedom to; law is semantic games not physics. You have the rights agreed upon by the rule makers.

Currently the free market you envision is not the status quo.

The only mechanism allowed in our social system to change that is vote em out or build a company that works how you want. Posting here is equivalent to echo “impotent rage” /dev/null imo

I don’t see the point in debating protocols when “the suckiness” always comes down to UI/UX

UX that works for async comms and real time comms can be “backed by” HTTP. One does not literally need the data model to conform to the presentation in mind.

“Email” view might be a good default. “Chat view” could be a toggle for when the group is online at the same time.

UX needs a rethink in general. What a designer finds trendy in the moment is user hostile. I want flexibility and customization at the presentation layer. Give me an API key and I’ll build my own UX in Docker containers, thanks.

Op did call out exceptions for “egregious externalities.”

A factory could reasonably be considered to have egregious externalities.

But filtering out egregious externalities is… “zoning” so their logic seems circular.

Yeah? The Walmart model works; start low, inflate prices to make up margins as interest/competition falls off.

You expect the owners to adapt?
