I think that’s ok? People are in different offices, but as long as you can also work with the local people…

I’m a fan of hybrid, with like 4/5 days at home, assuming people aren’t heavily distracted at home.

Ouch, yeah that defeats the purpose

Do people meet in meeting rooms as well or it’s all just Zoom?

There’s more nuance to what he said if people take time to read the article. I’m a huge fan of working from home, but it has drawbacks. One that Jamie notes is that a lack of office environment is terrible for someone starting their career, which is true.

Yeah, agreed. I don’t think purism in either direction is great. To me well regulated capitalism with strong unions seems like a good balance.

Actually from people who lived through it in the eastern bloc… the propaganda was mostly right.

Relatively speaking, I’d say yes.

The communist systems I’m aware of have failed hard on these due to not having built in outlets for negative human characteristics.

In theory, sure, but it’s a very brittle system if it requires true Democracy, which is pretty much fantasy.

Thanks for the thought provoking reply!

My impression is that all systems fail long term and need to break down and be renewed after crisis. Once it becomes entrenched, I think odds are heavily against being able to try social systems.

Have you seen a system like you describe, where a structure to continue change and experimentation is built in? To me capitalism with strong controls seems the most stable and successful (assuming your benchmark is population qualify of life not just GDP), e.g. some European systems.

That’s cool to know! I had been wondering what happened with that historically bad launch.

You responded to the wrong comment, but i’ve been seeing that a lot so I wonder what causes it.

Pfew, well that actually makes sense and is efficient. Picking it up off the floor probably is not worth the bending over luckily.

Hah, is this contracting? And what is done vs agile?

It’s not a bug that capitalism is based on greed, it’s a feature. It works (relatively speaking) because it leverages humanity’s shittyness.

Communism has failed to operate without corruption or authoritarianism, because it depends on people actually giving a shit about each other long term.

Can use prowlarr or jackett for that as well, but takes more setup

People do nearly everything in self interest. They want something and they try to get it. There may be some secondary justification, but it boils down to that.

Some people also believe the earth is flat, which is at a similar level of objective thinking.

IMO it’s healthier for people to be honest with themselves and embrace the morally grey vs theories that apply only in a vacuum where their actions have zero consequence or chance of negatively affecting someone else.

Sure, yeah, but you have to talk about your ex for a while to process and get over them.

Yeah, wow, is this sub satire? These ridiculously superficial arguments shouldn’t convince anyone past a teenager who is stoned out of their mind.

Depends on what you mean by socialism. All systems have upsides and downsides. Late stage capitalism in the US has a lot of downsides, but workers taking over the means of production does not have a good track record.
