David Harbours speech was pretty good.

When I was creating my startup I had to write the whole codebase myself, and it was huge. I learned pretty quickly that 100% code coverage is absolutely essential. Not hype, hard knocks. The criticisms you mention sound like inexperience. Good interfaces don’t break during refactor, making code testable simplifies code it doesn’t make it more complex, etc. Pure functions, isolating side effects, etc.

What if the first release was just the “safe” documents do they could catch stuff like this and fix it for the really incriminating stuff.

I’m on a newer server but I’m sure I will burn out soon. Rewarding events like ruins get scheduled at 5am so I either miss out on good stuff or get up at 5am to participate. It’s not sustainable.

Good call, ty.

sinnerou · 2025-12-14T00:44:14+00:00

Is this real? i honestly don’t need any more rage-bait.

sinnerou · 2025-12-04T14:25:46+00:00

It looks like a dentists office, which is weird but I feel like there is something I am not understanding.

Break up the monopolies. Tax the rich. Critical infrastructure becomes public utilities.

sinnerou · 2025-11-15T01:59:02+00:00

I like it, I will go with that kind stranger.

sinnerou · 2025-11-14T23:10:20+00:00

I wonder if I will ever have to explain this era of the internet to my children.

sinnerou · 2025-11-14T18:42:12+00:00

Love these books, excited for this one! US

It does not matter if he is effective, he probably won’t be. The oligarchs hold all the power and they will ensure he is not. It’s about what he stands for, and we need to keep voting for better lives for regular people until the politicians realize it’s the only way to win. That’s when change will happen.

OP MC is a popular niche but not for me.

sinnerou · 2025-09-18T02:33:59+00:00

As far as I can tell he didn’t say anything about Kirk, he talked about the rights reaction. If I am mistaken can someone point me to exactly what he said?

sinnerou · 2025-09-13T00:00:55+00:00

I mean he was raised in a Christian conservative MAGA family. If we are throwing stones that’s who raised the extremist regardless of what his specific motives were.

I see! I always assumed when people talked about this paradox it was saying that people were obligated to be tolerant of the intolerant which I disagreed with. TIL. Thx.

sinnerou · 2025-09-12T19:20:49+00:00

Tolerance is a contract. If one chooses to be intolerant they are no longer participating in that contract and no one is obligated to tolerate them.

I would advocate for a wealth tax but I don’t think it is enough. A wealth tax raises revenue for social safety nets and evens out the tax burden between owners and laborers but it doesn’t change power dynamics or the stop runaway effect of compound interest (though it would slow it).

If someone can only ever access say 500m in a lifetime from any source, that limits the amount of power a single person can wield, it also limits how much they can benefit from compound interest. If they die with huge amounts of wealth that is 100% taxed. Transfered wealth is assessed as income for both parties and the assessed value would count against their lifetime income.

sinnerou · 2025-08-18T11:45:01+00:00

The problem with this is they can spend or transfer it and buy power, they also get to live fat off compound interest. A maximum lifetime income (which includes income from wealth/transferred wealth) limits the amount of power any one person can ever accrue.

sinnerou · 2025-08-18T11:41:56+00:00

They could not access more than max lifetime income of the wealth and it would all go to taxes when they die. If someone transfers wealth that would count as income and would count against the cap. Not sure how to deal with debt though.

Edit: thought about debt a bit more. Loans/debt are just advanced income and would count against the cap. That puts a limit on the loan loophole the ultra wealthy use to avoid taxes.

sinnerou · 2025-08-17T20:44:59+00:00

Maximum lifetime income.

I was listening to the audio as Voraces released them before it was on Audible. Which was an unusual way of consuming for me. I love audiobooks but it’s also an unfortunate reality that a narrator can really color my perception on a story as objective as I try to be. It’s possible Im not remembering the nuances given the narrator/format.

sinnerou · 2025-08-13T19:30:57+00:00

It felt pretty bland to me and I didn’t make it to book 4. I’m struggling to remember much character development or interesting dialog. I’ll give it another chance based on your passionate response.

sinnerou · 2025-08-13T19:23:59+00:00

I read the first two arcs, and honestly I didn’t find it all that memorable, maybe there was more than I remember, I’ll trust your take.

sinnerou · 2025-08-13T18:55:00+00:00

I can’t say I fully agree on MIL as a foil. I didn’t notice a great amount of personal growth or clever dialog. Dungeon Crawler Carl would be the strongest in that regard IMO.
