Oddbean new post about login | logout I see your point. With the system of judges that we have, I would hope that they would respect body of law. I suppose a lot of charity might be in order in certain economic outcomes.
We should get started in doing real charity work right now. I have no idea where to start, but I know its not just sending money somewhere online.
This tftc video that I watched this morning about how wealthy families in England kept their land for a 1000 years talks about this idea of local charity (own your land and support help folks in your community ) versus sending money abroad somewhere and creating weird markets in other economies (Gates altruism style, mosquito nets in Africa that end up as fishing nets). I'm sorry, Gates, I have used windows many years so I thank him for that.
Me too, but Linux isn't too hard, so I don't think gratitude to Gates is merited. I used to watch tftc a lot, but not lately. Sounds like a good one.
gates ripped off qdos, ripped off windows, microsoft is like the amazon of software, they do everything, just non-shitty enough to ... as they elquently describe it "embrace, extend, extinguish" i am not grateful to gates for making contracts with hardware manufacturers to ONLY write firmwares and drivers for windows... at all, in fact i think such a contract should be considered a conspiracy
wow, he's really one of those bad dudes that are so good at being bad, it's incredible. he's like Hillary Clinton level. at some point i'm just in admiration because I don't know how she's accomplished all the nefarious stuff that I think she has, but I'm sure she has done it. on a regular week if I'm ambitious I'll put a paddleboard in the water. and then there are people that have gone and conquered the world, and still have time for flying to caribbean islands.
