I’ve been talking about this in a different way. Capitalism doesn’t know how to deal with abundance. Instead it is entirely based on the value created by scarcity. When there isn’t enough scarcity to create legitimate commercial value, we manufacture scarcity.

this is what communists mean when we say capitalism is socially destructive: it presents unassailable social goods as insurmountable disasters if they contradicts the profits of a few shareholders. https://twitter.com/herosnvrdie69/status/1416229586828992513

Don’t get me wrong. I have a lot to say about how news media curates the messages we get. But even if they weren’t doing a bad job, there would still be a lot of heavy things happening in the world. And being ignorant of it because you don’t like “negativity” is also a choice.

@polotek ("Marco Rogers") wrote:

Or, and hear me out, we could work on not framing everything as a binary negative or positive. These are the things that are happening in the world. Engage with them and decide what you’re gonna do. Or don’t. But acting like it’s something that’s happening to you is weird.

8 out of the 9 top stories on NYTimes are negative right now. Google News even worse…. I know there are serious problems in the world but I wonder if it’s healthy for the billion+ people online to read largely negative news about the world every day…

When we say that Rust is a good language for security, this kind of thing is what we mean. The bugs this person's testing uncovered are all non-crashers, with denial of service being the worst likely outcome.

I've commented on this before, but hope someone reads it. An important way to retain and capture top talent is also a super unsexy way - good medical coverage. Please don't go ham on perks like coffee and foosball tables and forget how expensive rare medications/conditions can be
