If you had a population of monkeys and one monkey systematically hogged all the bananas to the point where the rest of the monkeys were starving, we'd scientifically study that one monkey to figure out what is wrong with it. With post-modern capitalism, we put that monkey on the cover of Forbes.

Billionaires all tell the same two-level lie:
"hard work will make you a billionaire" and "billionaires work hard"
What they're really saying is "your hard work will keep me a billionaire"

Having an office in a day and age where most desk jobs can be done remotely, is a choice--a choice that is both immoral (environmental impact) and a waste of money for the company and for the employees for what is ultimately decreased productivity.

I really hate that `core::ops::Index` forces you to use `&T` as the return type. This is the only way to implement `[]` so you can't do `Option`. This has probably created more panicking code than any other decision in #rust-lang

Trying to reduce headcount with AI is a really good way to get out-competed by companies who try to increase productivity with the same headcount using AI

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
