<p>I have long felt airlines should simply charge two fees: one for volume (i.e. economy/business class, etc.), one for weight (person plus all bags, checked or carry-on).<p>Just giving people the incentive to use the bathroom before they get on the plane to save a few bucks would probably save billions on fuel worldwide.</p>

<p>Marx ultimately had the same aim, the same MO - encourage people to believe whatever vacuous bullshit you can gin up that helps you gain power.  Once you’re in charge, it doesn’t matter if it was all a lie, and you can just get rid of anyone who dissents.</p>

<p>I would say that if you want to drive loud fast cars, you’re welcome to do so, on a track intended for that purpose. Conversely, if you want to drive on public roads near children and where people live then you have to drive slow and quiet.</p>

is pursued, and diverse communities are served through improved
communication and journalism instruction.<p>> 3. Relentlessly strive to assure information integrity, assuring that truth is
gathered and reported.</p>

<p>> The hostility comes from the perception that someone wants to take away your toy. Again, it's very very basic, the same thing you see if you try to take away an item from an animal that is engaged in a dopamine response with that item. Like a dog eating something. They will bite you or at least growl if you take it away.<p>Sure, but now replace “toy” with, “peaceful Neighbourhood”<p>The only reason anyone wants to take someone’s dumb truck away is because they made the the first move, destroying or significantly degrading something that other people enjoyed.</p>

<p>It's not inexplicable.<p>If you want to play Israel vs Palestine and spend all day making up new self-indulgent transgressive theories about how "they" are good and "we" are bad, go to Bluesky.<p>People come to HN to talk tech, and if nothing else, to get a respite from the "you are bad" west is bad" "US is bad" drumbeat.  If you don't want that, that's cool but don't try to force your lifestyle on us.<p>Your post was flagged, by myself and presumably many others, because it violated the site guidelines against politics.</p>

<p>Just like Marx, the words & concepts are not really about the words or the concepts.  Instead they form a theology whose practice promises to give frustrated elites an alternate path to power.</p>

<p>That ransoms today are denominated in USD and that the US might be printing too many USD has nothing to do with whether or not ransoms should be paid.<p>The day the USD falls, ransoms will simply be denominated in something else and the same underlying collective action problem will remain.<p>This is just way of avoiding the core issue by blaming something unrelated that you don't like.<p>A: U should clean your room, it would be better for you & the rest of your family<p>B: FU dad, everyone knows there's no such thing as a clean room under capitalism!!!!!</p>

<p>Columbus is capable of exactly the same dynamics, there’s nothing magical about San Francisco dirt.<p>Regardless of how long it takes, there isn’t any other choice. You have to start sometime so let’s start now. Collectivism doesn’t get us out of this either. If we have a revolution tomorrow, and reduce rent to $100, there will be a 50 year waitlist to live in San Francisco and the only way to get it down to zero is to build build build. Yes, it will take a long time, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it or that we shouldn’t start now.</p>

<p>A market is a place where you can, relatively freely, choose to buy, sell, consume, and produce.<p>San Francisco and many other North American cities only allow the first three of the four with any significant freedom.<p>Production is either banned outright on large majorities of the available land, or heavily constrained and focussed to ensure that any new production happens directly on top of tenants and the most vulnerable rather than on top of relatively lightly occupied single-family houses.</p>

<p>This is silly.<p>While I work in IT today, that wasn’t always true. I am certain I spent more free time playing with computers when my work did not involve computers at all.  While I enjoy working with computers at a variety of different levels, when I do it all day, I don’t typically wanna do it when I get home. If Anthropic means there are no more IT jobs, software jobs, etc. etc. etc. (which I think is highly unlikely) then I guess I will have to do a non-tech job just like 99% of the other human beings.  If that comes to pass,I expect in my spare time I will suddenly reacquire a love for tinkering with computers.</p>

<p>Amazing.
