this was very comforting to read
oh, how i long to live in a better world
this makes a lot of sense. now i’m questioning why it’s not more common
why do you think so? (i’ve never thought about it before and am genuinely curious)

i long for a day when i see a policy proposal that i like and then think it has a good chance of getting passed
so many replies to this and yet not one of them has a link. i wonder why they’re having so much trouble backing up their positions
i hate it when i open my laptop and there’s an error sign blocking the trackpad
But it is, of course, possible to write a (much more readable) version that will work in Fish.

thank you for recommending vinegar, it is incredible
i wouldn’t be surprised if this was partly a war between the team they have implementing this and the team they have implementing this, in their spare time
then you wouldn’t be able to do anything (or at the very max, just hide the ad and wait 30s on a blank screen

quite a few of them are “natural monopolies”. for those unaware (source):
A natural monopoly is a type of monopoly in an industry or sector with high barriers to entry and start-up costs that prevent any rivals from competing. As such, a natural monopoly has only one efficient player. This company may be the only provider of a product or service in an industry or geographic location.
ie, cable companies, electricity suppliers, amazon. it’s really complicated and really expensive to build the infrastructure needed to meaningfully compete in those industries.
another relevant concept is the “network effect”, defined as (source):
a business principle that illustrates the idea that when more people use a product or service, its value increases.
this kind of thing is more applicable to things like social media companies (they’re more appealing the more users they have). this makes it hard to compete with social media companies because convincing people to use your new app is really hard if the usefulness of it depends on everyone’s friends already being on it. (this is also part of the reason twitter is taking so painfully long to die)
both concepts illustrate the different barriers to entry that exist when trying to compete with these giant companies. these barriers are also what allow these huge companies to get so complacent.
(i’m not happy about quoting investopedia or wharton, but they do give simple definitions of both concepts so i did it just this once.)
this is really good advice in general. i will be following it as well. thank you for sharing it.
