    Does it matter? The average American does not understand imperialism, their understanding was not needed to create it and it’s not required to unravel it

    Healthcare, housing, wages… These are the polar bears. They’re the poster child, everyone is like “yeah, those are cute. I want to save them”

    You don’t have to then explain why they should care, which requires them to understand a complex system of relationships

    We don’t need informed support, we just need support to do good things, some of which should be done loudly and others we don’t need to make a show over





  • It’s extremely important, because you’re never really picking a programming language, you’re picking a stack

    You can technically write an android app in Python, but should you? You’re now locked into a framework used to run apps in Python, which are going to be much more limiting than other languages and frameworks. But you’ll also have access to Python libraries, which gives you options in that direction

    Then you examine the context. How good are you at learning other languages? How long/complicated is what I want to do? Does this need to be performant? How long do I need to keep this working?

    And most importantly, and you really have to think this one through… Will I need to extend the original goals in the future?

    So really, yes, it’s very important. A bad decision in the beginning could cause problems for decades

    Valve is worker-run and largely worker owned, it’s literally 350 people who just work on whatever they think is a good idea

    They’re technically a corporation, but also an amazing argument for collective ownership

    I think that part is pretty normal, lots of people make deals like that

    The crazy part is how he used to call newspapers under false names to talk himself up

    Hell, there’s a reasonable amount of evidence suggesting that he was never a billionaire (until this year at least), he apparently got on the Forbes list by bugging them until they put him in
