Yes, I am very lucky to be able to walk to work, it really helps with everything

Why is every HN thread glazing communism now?

Are people that broken nowadays?

boo hoo I dont have the new iphone the moment it release.

Bish I was on PS1 until 2004.

Ask East Germans, Poland, Lithuania, Lativa, Estonia etc if communism or capitalism is better. I'll wait. :)

I find younger zoomers say this a lot and even to me in my 30s "oh you had it so easy!" because they think the knowledge today, we would have had back then. This is false.

Loser today, you would have been a loser back then too.

I kind of agree but I live in a city in Sweden.

Should I not be able to use youtube or order online because we don't have a DC right next door?

Sweden has a bunch of data centers. Doubt any of them consume coal based electricity though.

Yup exactly :)

It is all about how you plan, build etc how good you are.

Perfect. Ublock origin will block it on my end and the rest of the sheep will help keep it free with ads.

How would Ublock origin know what is an AI ad vs a genuine recommendation? I assume AI ads will be embedded in the response vs an frame or an element that can be blocked

Oh crap, we gonna have to run adblock models wont we :///

I kind of like it for dumb one off questions I dont want to burn my real tokens on...

People who don't come from upper class and work in software are predisposed to mental illness?

Am I reading this wrong, or can you explain?

They have healthcare and support structures

Blanket statement, I have been flamed so much for them here.

Most people have that here in Sweden :)

We still have suicides.

You americans have done a 180 and keep advocating for idk what, socialism? Even though we are not.

If you’re trying to say that the wealthy have it just as hard as the poor I would ask you to step off a cliff under the claim that gravity doesn’t exist.

I am not, it seems you are misunderstanding.

That is correct but then the statement becomes so broad it is useless. Of course wealthy people have it easier but that is a useless statement.

Let me guess you want to abolish the capital system bla bla bla

It appears you're inferring a _lot_ that was not said. I think both posters in this thread are misunderstanding eachother.

Why even say anything so thin as "wealthy have it better than poor people"

No way!

No, I want fully automated gay space luxury communism.

I also happen to believe that capitalism is the best system to get us from our current scarcities to that sort of utopic future.

Seeing this too. Customer support tickets are all AI now. The random bolded words, the em dashes, they way where if you KNOW what is actually happening, they are slightly off or just WAY off.

I want my life to end that 2005 is "retro" now...

I agree with the sentiment, but that's a really weird way to phrase it!

Here you get laid off you need a notice 3 month in advance. America is just a hellscape but no need to be so drastic... companies still need to lay people off...

> companies still need to lay people off...

The people who just gave you a 20% increase in profits in a year need to go?

Yes, in a market economy layoffs still needs to happen.

What is your option? Companies keep people forever? In what economy does this work?

Please ask the Poles, Baltics and Eastern EU, when did their living standards increase? Was it joining EU or communist Soviet?

layoffs at earnings results time never ever need to happen.

in a market economy you layoff people when functions, business, products or roles actually become redundant (or fire for cause / underperformance) rather than waiting potentially months till the end of the financial year to do it in a mass firing.

when you need new headcount, inventory or inputs to your supply chain you don't wait 7 months selling no products to see how full year revenue looks before you decide

if you are managing a team and have poor performers or functions that are no longer necessary, you should bring them up to scratch or manage them out immediately, not wait 11 months till the next eoy layoff round. these stupid layoff rounds promote dysfunctional organisations with bloat and keeping around dead weight or overhiring to sacrifice people at the altar of the consultant / mba / earnings juicing layoff rounds.
