There is a great big future out there.

Seize it.

Flock cameras are good.

They automatically read license plates reducing vehicle theft by 11%.

If you lived in a high trust, white society, would you need them as much? No. But you live in America.

Could they be co-opted by a Newsomreich to imprison RW carjackers? Sure.

I have a niggling worry about political systems, that they can have a permanent failure mode once the “meta” is known. Once the optimal way of fighting and winning an election is figured out (I think it has been) then democracy doesn’t work any more. Once information about how to game the welfare system gets out it doesn’t work anymore. There isn’t a system which works for all time because there is always some cheat code that breaks it, and once the knowledge of it gets out, that system can never work right again.

@DefenderOfBasic At smaller, leaner orgs, the resources simply don't exist to have multiple ppl make the same thing and compete, but you can be highly precise as the resources you are managing are small enough to direct manually.

[materialsgx @materialsgx]

@DefenderOfBasic Also, what is my incentive in MEGACORP for wanting more competition?

As an exec I don't really care that much about the health of the org, I care about MY standing in the org, this is sometimes aligned; but many times when competition is low, not really.

[materialsgx @materialsgx]

@DefenderOfBasic pressure is low at the top. Its mostly a giant circlejerk, it doesn't die because there's no real competition

@grayzoneintel @extradeadjcb can we get a torrent going?

[materialsgx @materialsgx]

@cogcelia Ok, they did however have an early warning where the agents took out Artifactory, they went and shut it down and updated perms etc, then soon after the agents hacked artifactory AGAIN, and they didn’t realise for 2 days?

Incompetence or letting it happen bcuz cool?

[Justin Murphy @jmrphy]

In modernity, nothing officially dies. Things just fizzle into weak, unmaintainable husks of their former, living version, proclaiming their perfect normalcy for as long as they can possibly get away with. Abandoned train stations never demolished, zombie institutions divorced from their purpose, even a US President can persist in power past the point of his functional lifespan. At some point, the dead thing stops getting away with it, but even then the husk just sits there, unburied. If something is never declared dead, you can always fantasize it has non-zero option value. "Just maybe, one day..." But in refusing the starkness of defeat, though we think we protect the possibility of life, in fact we just turn all of life into a kind of dissembled graveyard, crowded with the ghosts of past failure, and reeking of decay, neither of which anyone can name. We need to relearn how to bury our dead.

Communism remains BAD

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

Say goodbye to your local bodega. And after that, say goodbye to the government-subsidized grocery store once it inevitably collapses.

This will not work because prices are not a reflection of someone’s “greed”, they’re a signal about supply and demand. And when you intentionally distort that signal, very bad things happen.

So let me explain to you what’s going to take place here.

Some grocery item that used to go for $10, like a slab of meat, will now be sold by NYC for $7.

“Yay! Everyone is happy! The government can provide better than the free market!”

I’m sure we’ll see a bunch of glowing pieces in mainstream media outlets fawning over Mamdani just like they did to Chavez before it all went to hell in Venezuela.

But behind the scenes, New York City has not made that slab of meat cost $7 to society. That missing $3 has to come from somewhere.

And it’s either going to show up in the form of higher taxes, longer lines in the store, empty shelves, poorer quality foods, horrible customer service, higher regional inflation, or chronic shortages followed by government rationing at the government-run store.

It’ll probably get some combination of all of the following, but not before some obnoxious honeymoon period where the media pretends like Mamdani is some innovative trailblazer for implementing a thoroughly debunked economic policy from a century ago.
