Accelerationism by Accel Partners: bobbydroptables 0 minutes ago [–] You and I have very different definitions of "sustainable". Absolutely nothing about the modern global economy is "sustainable" for the planet. Infinite growth is not a realistic goal. We need to start putting a sustainable planet above a sustainable income statement. Setting that aside, failing startups are actually great for the average Joe. You've basically sucked off enormous amount of capital from naive but rich investors and transferred it to the employees and local businesses where the company is based. Even consumers can benefit if prices are subsidized. Failing businesses also teach lessons about dumb capital and dumb managers. Smart capital and smart managers usually take notes. It's basically win-win all around except for whichever rube is holding the shares when the house of cards collapses, which, as I said some people have more money than sense.

a congressional budget cycle isn't enough time to run a space program, in the absence of a new cold war space race nasa's funding isn't consistent and reliable enough to put people back on the moon. probes and landers that require near-zero money after launching is the best they're realistically capable of. even the iss would have gone the way of skylab if not for the russians picking up the slack. the grift comes out of that, there's no point building something that'll make you bank in long-term contracts when the money won't stick around long enough for the contracts to appear.

The government is a PAAS business. They have various customers, both direct B2C, like you and me, and B2B relationships with other companies that run business on their platform. Either way the customers pay quarterly or yearly for the services through a system called taxes. Political activists and are a type of white /gray hat hacker who seeks to demonstrate exploitable flaws in the platform and may benefit through bug bounties from backers or through getting advantageous features implemented. Lobbyists are a kind of social engineer that also wishes to influence feature decisions. Legislators are a type of software developer. Their job is complicated by the lack of adequate test and simulation environments, and the presence of competing interests who frequently oppose the suggested features or implementation decisions but whose approval is often needed for the PR to garnish approval.

dgzl 1 minute ago I think people are missing a few big points. 1) It's extremely difficult being a cop 2) It's extremely terrifying being a cop 3) It's extremely unpopular being a cop It boggles me every time I hear people say cops need "stricter requirements" and "less pay" but never hear anyone volunteering to join the force and make real change. Look around, how many white knights want to be a cop? The videos from Thursday/Friday night Minneapolis shape my framework for these riots, not the supposed abuse to protesters and reporters. IMO, given the circumstances, the cops overall have been very civil while taking an onslaught of verbal and even physical abuse. And don't get me wrong, I'm not ignoring police abuse and brutality.
