There are different kinds of work which needs to be done for our society to function. These tasks have costs for those who perform them (lost time, spent energy, danger, boredom, etc).

In pure communism, everyone works hard and everyone is given the spoils of the work we collectively provide. But it is rational for any individual to not work as hard, because he will bear less of the cost of that work, but still realize the same gain

Therefore most people tend to shirk their duties, and the output of the entire collective drops. In order to maintain the system, the threat of violence is introduced, and we quickly get to Stalinist purges

It is not game theoretically aligned. It's not his fault, Game Theory didn't really get going until after his death

Marx's critique of capitalism is spot on. It's his proposed solution that is problematic

It's crazy that they change the weights on these indexes. How are you supposed to get an accurate inflation number if you keep moving the goal posts

Online market places to be jointly and severally liable for anything on their sites

This should be something AI can do now. Give it a list of what kinds of ads are not allowed, and ask it if the contents of this ad are acceptable

I would love for lightning to scale the network, but I'm worried that it won't. I don't have much experience with it myself (I've set up a small channel to try it out) but I know many people have been disappointed by it.

I hope that something like the OP_CAT soft fork can be initialized, so that ZK-Rollups can be implemented on Bitcoin. IMO that would open up so many more scaling options for the network

Totally agree! Isn't an argument against the carbon tax though, but an argument for more transit development

There's been a slight downtick in recent years, but it's still up +10 years from 1970

While I think the student protest are misguided, this seems like a good development. People have a right to (peacefully) protest, and universities shouldn't forcibly remove people that aren't hurting others or damaging property
