hunter-gatherers → agriculture → permanent settlements → cities → states → civilization

the usual reasoning is

agriculture → surplus → settlement → religion/monumental architecture

it's not at all about civilizations and/or empires collapsing and being reborn in different shapes or social and economic reforms being rediscovered, that already implies some highly sofisticated form of society, while places like Göbekli Tepe predates the pyramids by 5.000 years

What would you think of someone who works for KGB (now FSB) and propagandizes the values of USSR (or modern Russia)?

secondly: CIA job is exactly promote the image of a "liberal, nonviolent and honorable” agency, while killing thousands people to overthrown elected governments just because uncle Sam did not like them...

Gypsies create issues almost everywhere in Europe, but it's not based on ethnicity, most of the ethnic Roma are fully integrated, some of them are not, in Italy many Sinte families are linked to mob and criminality in general.

Do they deserve special treatment because of their ethnicity?

And what if they are not regular citizens?

It's an open problem, DHH's solutions it's absolutely not my solution, but there's a still a difference between what he said and calling for ethnic cleansing.

that's a non sequitur

"that guy is not against driving under the influence, but he also always wears seatbelts and always respects speed limits" FTFY

Anyway, he also supports open weights models, which IMO is a good thing.

So maybe separate the artist from the art? He's not running for elections, that's for sure, so as a citizen he can have the political views he likes, doesn't mean the software is bad because of them.

literally the experience that Mac was always known for

not really

there are decades of well known practices to basically cover every possible scenario

the point is Rust doesn't allow to write certain kinds of code or use certain patterns

it's the cost of the boilerplate

it's not that it is hard, it's that it is tedious

and if we throw LLM at the problem, well, we're not talking about 100% safety anymore

at the cost of developing time and workarounds overhead.

> And, if it's not possible to prove this statically - you should be heavily questioning the security of that code.

or that's exactly the compromise that allows you to develop that software

there is no 100% safety with zero overhead

it is not possible

It still doesn't mean anything

I've been doing it for over 20 years, but I am not a woman.

A woman (or a man, or whatever there might be in between) does only exists if it actually exists.

It doesn't exist on the fact that someone said "I am (such and such)"

Communism won, you heard it right, because it still means to the *whole World* freedom and empowerment of the working classes, except for stupid americans - there are intelligent americans, mind you.

maybe a link with images and a voice over will be easier to understand for people like you

here we are again: someone attributing to communism what capitalism is factually based on.

> nobody own anything and any individual action is suspicious.

do you own anything at your job?

again: that's capitalism

Basically, all of them

They were so successful that the west (meaning mainly the U.S. and the Brits) have invested gigantic amounts of resources in fighting them.

Imagine what they could have done for their citizens instead...

And yet, communist ideas are still alive and kicking, while capitalism is hated everywhere, not only by the people living in anti-capitalistic countries, but also by those living in capitalist countries and by several über rich capitalists, nowadays. Modern capitalism isn't market economy, it's not fair in any way, it doesn't promote growth nor it does empower the masses and all the successes attributed to capitalism, for example The Marshall Plan, were an implementation of socialists ideas under a different name.

Capitalism doesn't even improve living standards anymore, now that it distantiated itself from the socialist idea of the welfare state and promoted an unprecedented concentration of wealth and resources in the hands of the very few, who don't care about the society at large and have no problem in enslaving the people working for them.

The real problem that you can't see, because your brain has been programmed to not see it, is that the U.S.A. empire is the worst in the history of mankind and it showed all its cracks and flaws in less than a century.

Imagine how failing so hard and still claiming victory sounds to 90% of the world's population not brainwashed by the U.S. propaganda...

I thought it was implied in the question "What does the local economy get out of it?"

A fair share is when the local economy gets out of it what the local economy needs/wants.

Your assumptions are also very wrong, my psyche could kill you, I simply know what I want on my side and you on your side, we have to meet somewhere in the middle, otherwise it's not listening, it's abuse.

If you don't stand up for yourself, nobody will.

Your view is US centric, I live in Europe, we have rights, we can't be fired for having opinions. We don't work 10 hours a day, we have rights.

You have this strange stance where employees are slaves, living in a one man dictatorship.

We are not.
