anyone who thinks that liberty includes the freedom to starve does not care at all about whether humans are free. dig a little and you'll find that most "libertarians" are social darwinists. they champion freedom as a means to enable plutocracy, which in their minds is equivalent to aristocracy in its literal meaning--rule by the best. you cant find the ubermensch by measuring wealth but that wont stop hn from trying

Plorkyeran posted:i think it is hard to say from the outside if search is in its current state because it is impossible to make it better or if it simply doesn't make financial sense to make it better. as long as it remains useful to type things into google search and no competitors are clearly better, it's not immediately obvious that you'd expect a meaningful increase in revenue from investing heavily in improving search quality compared to things like continuing to invest in the knowledge base stuff. even if you concluded that spending $10b on paying humans to look at search results and manually filter out garbage would drive $11b of additional revenue, does that actually improve google's financials? software companies "aren't allowed" to do low margin things because their valuation is driven by insane gross margins. google employs a huge number of people (at least thousands) to manually curate its serps. it has done this for decades
