  • Democrats: Stop dividing the left

  • Could you elaborate? My understanding of anarchism is the goal of eliminating government. That won't eliminate an economic system that originated organically.

  • And instead we get politicians worse than VEEP. Ouch.

  • Robotics (or more broadly mechatronics) is a super interesting field. To do the work at the mechanical/electrical interface is really hard.

    The field of industrial controls skips the hard part and just buys stuff that is pre-designed to move. Then those pre-designed pieces are made to fit and work together. It's like complicated Legos and is honestly very fun and rewarding.

    If you want to do programming with a physical result, controls engineering is a great option. I would recommend shooting for the hard stuff (real programming - DSP, FPGA, etc) knowing you've got a safe fallback with industrial controls (PLC programming).

  • I don't think so. The main reason Facebook is so bad is it's engagement algorithm. It is designed to maximize user engagement to sell adds, and it does that by putting outrage inspiring posts in front of users so that they have an emotional response and stay engaged. Using a human voting system instead of an outrage algorithm to determine what content people is exactly why I enjoy this platform over the other social media platforms.

    Is there still rage bait here? Of course! Is it systematically shoved down your throat? No.

  • I was assuming you'd make an account with the ID for the govt instance and use anonymous accounts for all other browsing. At least that's what I would do.

  • I believe there is existing precedent from SCOTUS that official government Twitter accounts were not allowed to block citizens accounts due to it being a 'public square'. So that was a govt official taking the action of silencing someone's ability to respond to them on social media protected by 1A. If the PLATFORM had blocked that user it would have been perfectly valid, since the GOVT did not silence a citizen's speech.

    I believe having the govt run the instance would make the entire forum subject to 1A in a way current social media is not. Would love a constitutional scholar to chime in, but that's my argument.

  • I also don't get the impression there is a large bot presence here today. I do think if the platform was used as a normal communication network between constituient and representative it would probably become a target for foreign and domestic bots.

  • Technically that is profit maximizing, where as profit is just surplus value created. Nothing wrong with profit, profit maximizing at the expense of all else is a recipe for civilization collapse.

    In our tree mushroom example, if both organisms grow faster by sharing nutrients than by hoarding, they have both made a profit.

  • YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

    Jump

  • Some states have anti-gerrimandering written into their constitutions, so that would not be easy.

  • Thank you for the write up. That distinction makes a lot of sense.

  • I don't agree with this. Shareholders extracting value from a company is arguably more of an 'inefficency' than treating employees fairly. Well treated employees provide a benefit to the company while shareholders purely remove resources.

    I have no data to back up my claim, just logic, so I could very well be wrong.
