does this particularly qualify him as a jerk? or just that the employee takes all the risk in employment, and capitalism does wrong by rewarding owners and management vs workers?

that he's showing off how rich he is as the result of throwing these people on the street is just part of the system weve built


He was a passionate climate activist, possibly still is.

He has since purchased a private jet under controversy.

His company now sponsors an F1 team.

He now seems to be a typical billionaire. You don’t get to be a billionaire without being ruthless.

He probably is now a rich jerk. When I worked at Atlassian and on boarded, one of the managers said if you are in a lift with Mike or Scott, and they asked what you do here, you better tell them what value you are bringing…

Mike was also very public he was proud Atlassian was not a high payer, he wouldn’t compete with Google etc on pay, at the time, yet people still wanted to work at Atlassian. Also didn’t hide the fact they absolutely utilised lack of local market knowledge for visa holders when nearly have the office was a temporary visa holder at the time.


I would say yes, he is probably not a good person.

a friend is using it but it seems like it breaks a lot.

ive got the scheduled claude-code running a couple scripts to find what events are going on round town and what food is cheap at grocery stores, but how much am i looking at the results? not super often. its publishing to a discord channel rhat makes it real hard to read


itd be better for the title to be about upload queues and distribution, rather than free-loading.

hacked credentials will definitely be using that path. it gives you another risk signal sure, but the power sticks around


the US set up a little base in iran a few weeks back and had boots on the ground firing against iranians.

one of the main peace demands the US has is to put boots on the ground to steal iran's uranium


nah, "as a french" is perfectly fine english grammar.

english changes over time, and thats been a normal description for at least a decade


to be fair, its canada thats knly part french thats saying what everyone is thinking nowadays

do you still believe in democracy?

every election, americans make a big stink about how you belive in republicanism because democracy is evil, and that being a republic is somehow mutually exclusive with democracy


> It also has giant homeless camps stretching on for miles, abandoned and collapsing old houses, factories, etc as far as the eye can see.

On a political tuning side, I would put this as ultra-rightwing, rather than left. Said homeless camps only exist in right wing media


> victimhood narratives about Russia

its russia that maintains the victimhood narrative. Europe cant fix it for them, other than beating down their army


the sales pitch is that you can keep throwing more and more tokens at a problem to solve it.

if the prices dont keep going down, the pitch falls apart, that you need a specialist to come in and make it work
