tracecomplete posted:Harbor Freight has fairly quietly turned themselves into a respectable brand with decent products (it helps that most of them are sourced from the same places as everyone else). Their engines and by extension their generators are pretty well-made, as are a lot of their power tools these days. yeah you just gotta ask yourself: “how can this be done as cheaply as humanly possible”? for a lot of stuff this means the lowest quality objects you could imagine. i once had a HF wrench snap in half in my hand tightening a lock nut; the nylon insert was tougher than whatever slag they made the wrench out of. the harbor freight table saw I had when I was just starting out woodworking had visible blade wobble and the fence flexed if you pressed on it. but the cheapest way to make an engine is different; the engines and generators are made by a chinese company that stole the honda generator design. the company that makes them used to sell the engines and even entire cloned motorcycles as “hongda” but apparently that was too blatant even for the chinese market and they lost a lawsuit and had to change the name. people still report successfully replacing components of predator engines and generators with their honda equivalent parts.

despite the cries about giving up a cut to uberdash, restaurants have been all over firing their own drivers. the only way we'll see an alternative that doesn't suck is if restaurants work together on a unified platform with decent morals. unfortunately small businesses in america are all owned by temporarily inconvenienced billionaires who clearly don't need to work with others

it could easily be profitable and sustainable to offer an online menu and order-taking service to restaurants at a fixed monthly rate, instead of skimming from every sale but models like that make it harder to convince vcs you're going to achieve infinite growth forever

zo1 45 minutes ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] I'm one of those evil capitalists/ libertarians. But I'd be 100% for us to give everyone housing if and only if we stop incentivizing the unproductive to multiply or letting in the whole world. Sure take care of the suffering, the orphans, the disabled etc. But don't go around paying people to multiply as if they're a cattle herd, it's demeaning and makes people's value trend to zero. After it trends to zero we then turn around and complain how the "capitalists did it".

runjake 29 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] I don't get it. Why? (My personal answer would be "multiple times a day.") Edit: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/why-do-men-think-... Edit2: It has nothing to do with power and little to do with battles. It's more about society, governance, and culture. reply hotnfresh 8 minutes ago | root | parent | next [–] The humor seems to come from there being a large body of people (mostly women, evidently?) who don’t realize anyone who’s not, like, a classics professor, thinks about the Roman Empire more than almost-never, and another (evidently mostly men?) who don’t get how someone could think about it less than at least once a week, assuming they think about anything at all. I’m firmly in the “how do you not?” camp. The mutual confusion between these two groups is the joke, I think. Another facet may be the implication that all these men must be obsessed with Rome or want a return of the Roman Empire or something, which is also a funny notion, but I don’t think that’s usually the case. There are dozens of other things I think about at least as often, personally, and the common thread is that they have lots of connections to various topics I’m interested in, not some obsession with e.g. Rome. For my part, Rome is heavily connected to all of philosophy, politics, European, Maghreb, and Near-East history, literature, and film (it’s a common setting or topic, even when not directly the topic, as in the Coen’s Hail Caesar) and since I’m interested in all those things, I mean, yeah, obviously I think about it at least once a day. I also think about various ancient Greek states daily, and Sumer and Ancient Egypt at least once a week, and often much more, I’d guess. Doesn’t mean I’m particularly obsessed with any of them, they’re just strongly connected to a ton of my interests. reply

I thought about the Roman Empire on average once a week last year, but that average is very skewed by a three week vacation in Turkey.

Buttons840 5 minutes ago | prev | next [–] I have mixed feelings about the word "enshitification". Like a politician shutting down thought and debate by simply labeling something "socialism", half the people using the word don't really know what it means, or at least, they don't know the original meaning. The word comes to be fake form of intellectual sophistication. A politician says the word and people think "oh, he knows the fancy word, he must be right", and thought ends, further discussion is difficult because nobody would dare speak in defense of something after it has been labeled. Just hearing the word raises certain peoples blood pressure 10 points and causes them to raise their voice. And yet, I'm happy to see the good guys play psyops for a change. Like the world "socialism", "enshitification" will originally mean a specific social phenomenon, but most people will come to use it as a catch-all word for all bad corporate behavior and it will shut down thought and just hearing the world will rile people up to fight against the evil corporations. And I'm okay with that; words have power and, again, I'm glad to see words being invented to help the common people organize. reply

atoav 4 hours ago | root | parent | prev | next [–] While I agree with the point you make, I think that syntax has a huge impact. Maybe not on mathematicians themselves, but I am certain that mathematical syntax has done more to scare people away from the field than the actual mathematical problems themselves. For example the convention to use the greek alphabet for certain things. This is totally arbitrary and you could have also used emoticons instead (had they existed). But what this means is that the pupil, before tackling the meat of the mathematical problem has to accept that weird looking letter they have never seen for no real reason whatsoever. And I say that as someone who can fluently read the greek alphabet. reply

love too unironically talk like a deus ex character goodluckchuck 6 minutes ago | parent | next [–] Post-truth is the greatest step toward truth in human history. For centuries the clergy, government, media, and corporations have owned the Truth and defined the Overton window. Post-truth’s overwhelming flood of true, false, and irrelevant claims is empowering critical thinking. It’s offering freedom. The printing press led to the renaissance. The internet is now leading a new one. There will continue to be protests by the establishment powers, and unfortunately there will likely be conflict. The fall of monarchies was not without bloodshed. Hopefully we can find a way to achieve similar progress this time around without the same loss of life. reply

Why aren't they printing some now to start another bull market? reply misja111 1 hour ago | parent | prev | next [–] You might just as well wait for the 'obvious scam of the FED printing fake money' to implode.
