| Topic | What is it like to go into coding/programming these days? |
| TheMikh 03/04/21 1:00:06 PM #3 | Geiki Ganger posted... With websites like StackOverflow being pretty much used by every student, is it easier to learn coding/programming than it would have been 20 years ago? i'd argue yes, there's a lot more support at your fingertips than one could have dreamed of 15+ years ago Or is it actually harder now due to other reasons? lower barrier to entry might mean more competition for entry-level and generalist work, but it seems like there are way more opportunities as the field continues to expand, especially if you specialize in more bleeding edge areas --- |

| Topic | It's a good thing Vandals don't exist anymore |
| TheMikh 03/03/21 2:24:13 PM #6 | i'd imagine they'd still exist in some form, and some might even still identify as such, though use of the language itself seemingly dissolved from the byzantine and caliphate occupation of southern europe and north africa onward --- |
| Topic | Would you be ok earning less for wealth distribution? |
| TheMikh 03/03/21 1:05:21 PM #21 | replacing fractional reserve banking with proportionate ubi could be a decent way to better distribute wealth without further burdening taxpayers because lord knows most of the wealth being redistributed just ends up going to bureaucrats and cronies --- |
| Topic | Crypto is kinda bullshit because of all the Fees |
| TheMikh 03/03/21 12:43:38 PM #9 | Noodles_the_dog posted... Problem is though I hear that if you buy crypto on RH you don't actually "own" any crypto. I've not looked into it though so I don't know how it works basically, if crypto is not secured in your own wallet (basically, sent to an address that is only manageable by your own private key that no one else knows), it's being managed by someone else's private key so, there's (1) a potential central point of failure should the exchange or service be hacked or otherwise compromised by a third party, and (2) there's always the otherwise avoidable risk of fraudulent or malicious activity by the exchange or service itself. i personally keep my holdings on an insured and regulatorily compliant exchange since i don't trust myself to manage that volume of value "manually" without some risk of a catastrophic blunder. --- |

| TheMikh 03/03/21 12:06:53 PM #16 | 31, if i wanted a girlfriend, i'd have one. took an informal vow of celibacy of a sort a few years back, and have actively pushed away women that have thrown themselves at me since. --- |
| Topic | Crypto is kinda bullshit because of all the Fees |
| TheMikh 03/03/21 11:58:33 AM #6 | as with all things, tanstaafl. fees pay for exchanges to operate, incentivize miners to confirm transactions. sites with minimum buy/send amounts (larger than the bare minimum possible for protocols) can get rekt though, they deserve to be disrupted. so now you have to hold it longer hoping you can cover your fees just for buying it alone. crypto and indeed investment in general are not friendly to short term decision-making. Master_Bass posted... Yup, and don't forget almost anything meaningful you can do with it is a taxable event. Want to spend it? Tax. Trade it for a different currancy? Time for taxes there too. don't sell, don't spend, at least until permanently cashing out for good. capital gains tax basically serves to punish short-term trading. will say though, zkp-based exchanges are going to create a hell of a lot of trouble for regulators when they arrive. --- |

| Topic | Shouldn't free market libertarians be pro unions? |
| TheMikh 03/02/21 11:48:25 AM #13 | Questionmarktarius posted... This just seems like cynical realism to me. wouldn't dispute this. some form of worker performance standards within unions themselves are perhaps important to keep from butchering the golden goose, so to speak. --- |
| Topic | Shouldn't free market libertarians be pro unions? |
| TheMikh 03/02/21 11:19:12 AM #9 | voluntaryists are as a rule pro-union, since it qualifies as voluntary association. most other garden variety free market libertarians tend to support the freedom to unionize with this in mind, but may be critical of its economic tradeoffs. the only libertarians as far as i know that are explicitly anti-union are hoppeans, or at least its contractual discouragement is prescribed in private communities within a purely free market framework. --- |

| TheMikh 02/27/21 7:26:19 PM #20 | ZannoL posted... Why are all the crazies from Florida? The Miami New Times claimed that freedom of information laws in Florida make it easier for journalists to obtain information about arrests from the police than in other states and that this is responsible for the large number of news articles. A CNN article on the meme also suggested that the breadth of reports of bizarre activities is due to a confluence of factors, including public records laws giving journalists fast and easy access to police reports, the relatively high and diverse population of the state, its highly variable weather, and a lack of mental health funding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Man --- |

| Topic | A simulator where the other characters have their own social links ? |
| TheMikh 02/26/21 6:07:56 PM #18 | MedeaLysistrata posted... Map looks cool. This sounds very intensive. How do you factor something like social links into it? What exactly does the sim do? social links are simple, more quantitative - random interactions between different personality profiles yielding positive or negative dispositions from one person towards another, iteratively proliferated through social networks by gossip when persons interact (potentially inverted based on disposition) simulation mechanics are pretty simple though - forage or farm, eat, travel for better opportunities, share earnings with others they like depending on disposition and personality, maybe fight those they don't like depending on disposition and personality, marry and propagate, etc. goal of the project where i left off is to create a self-sustaining population that doesn't overwhelm computational capacity - delicate balance between environmental bottleneck pressures and population growth once that's stabilized i'd look into more sophisticated features --- |
