Being a billionaire is like staying alive long enough to be a villain. They were great at something but nothing justifies holding that much power for so long.

Also introduced voucher schools because he didn’t want teachers telling him laptops won’t solve education

Was the paper optimizing for multiple objectives? Sounds like this project is pursuing some features that haven’t been proven

Wipe out ethnic groups? I mean they invade but Uighur and Tibetan ethnic groups still flourish. Are there other examples?

IDK about “white knight”; I first heard the phrase “dangerous by default” from a black man recounting how he got nervous being on an elevator with a white woman.

“Dangerous by default” is one hell of a thing to internalize 😞

Regardless of the team size, I say simplify as much as you can so you can dedicate your resources customizing what makes their business special. You mentioned a PBX system and no infrastructure, this makes me think you talking about Customer Management. It sounds like you’re documenting as you go, fantastic. Maybe loop in a noob time to time to review the documentation or have a Q&A that reifies the docs. Best of luck!

I think a concern for the business is whether other people can help maintain the system. As such don’t go too custom and roll your own. Take things like nextcloud and see if you can fit the requirements by bolting on a few docker services. Keep it simple by using “appliances” where it makes sense (dedicated NAS?).

Who needs IP laws when you have EULAs that bar competition? Certainly not corporations with their armies of lawyers.

I lived through those times, this is different. The punishment for false hope is the lesson that things can always get worse.

We’re cooked because our leaders are pumping the AI bubble while crashing the rest of the economy. When that bubble pops those programmers are going to have to find a job in a nuclear sized crater of where the economy used to be.

Stop confusing young autistic vulnerable people.

I’m old and autistic and not confused by the fact trans women are women. Hope that helps.

After 2 weeks I think they would say something if they had something, and even then…

That is the definition of liberalism but that is not the loved experience of unhoused people in the USA. If you are unhoused there are a lot of moral judgements that come along with that.

Harder? Being queer and unhoused can be pretty damn bad in the states. In China your boss might say something bad but you don’t have to worry about being homeless.

But those are for hire. Unlike American Democracy, the CCP can’t be bought.

Yeah, I got questions about Tienanmen, but not the same ones. Like was the CIA involved in the counter protest outside the school campus?

Also, there is searchable queer content on RedNote, the app own by the CCP

Unless one of your values is to take wealth from those that don’t share your values, this is not a critique that will lead to meaningful corrections. I guess that could be a conservative value, but now you’re just doing identity politics.

Show me the conservative critique of billionaires. I know how that works on the left, but the right is about preserving power structures

I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar
