Once you have been sufficiently traumatized, this "biological cue" (if it even exists) goes away pretty fast and rarely returns.
The USA is the land of trauma, multifaceted and pervasive, and telling people to touch grass or go to their local bar won't stop it nor heal the damage.
Note: the word "trauma" appears nowhere in this article, nor does the word "capitalism". The author does expend a lot of words to tediously lecture about phones, screen time, and the giant houses we all supposedly inhabit.
I can imagine quite a few people. Maybe they are already in pain or have mobility issues. At that point why not say "yeah just feed me painkillers and keep me half-frozen. i can do everything in VR/online"? It's better than hospice.
That's like talking about cigarettes and claiming people don't die from nicotine, therefore smoking isn't a problem. Missing the point terribly.

your personal card can get fraud-flagged, which is a huge pain to fix.
It can also get banned by Stripe/Braintree/etc, which will really mess things up until your bank issues you a new card number.
Never use a personal card for testing, maybe with the exception of being the sole proprietor of the business or if it's a hobby project.

Why? This doesn't seem natural (or ethical)
>In today's world, farmers need to have more cows than they could ever milk by hand.
Why? This doesn't seem sustainable (or ethical)
This is illegal. I've always refused such "requests" and asked for a company expense card.
Imagine discussing math and programming with someone who insists that pi=3 and GOTO is the best control flow mechanism.
This is why refrigerators keep food cold but heat up the room, and why it's impossible to "air-condition the outdoors"
Doesn't this require leaving the computer unlocked?
Anarchist ideals? From right-wing billionaires like Musk and Thiel? Or by centrist billionaires like...?
Because that's who is driving the technological field, ultimately — people who have more money than entire countries, to whom we are basically just bugs to be squashed if we bother them.
>I believe that the market (controlled and monitored by nations and supranational entities) functions better because it is an imperfect model that, by leveraging people's selfishness,
lmao
This doesn't feel like a serious discussion. I'm out.
If you want to drink Soylent, go ahead. But even the predominant ingredient, soy, comes from agriculture.
And yet you are here arguing for more capitalist market-based solutions, which are inherently decentralized and have a tendency to create unrelated, wasteful (duplication of effort), and often pointless competition and profit-seeking?
Very odd.
This thing looks like an out-of-touch nerd hobby project, not a real tool one would use in the real world of farming.
The "Commercial Production" link goes to a page mostly consisting of... art projects. https://farm.bot/pages/research
That's like saying you watched The Bachelor and now have Opinions about marriage.
Why?
Same energy as "yeah we got addicted to heroin, and the best way of getting out of this mess is to subsidize heroin so we can keep buying"
How about not putting that carbon into the atmosphere in the first place? Oops, that upsets The Big Line.

The fact that you put these words together with that symbol clearly demonstrates that you Just Don't Get It.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." — Upton Sinclair, probably
Not my math. Industry's math. And it's bonkers because "green products" have to sell, electric cars have to sell, etc. The economy has to keep growing. Big Line has to keep going up.
What doesn't sell, but might actually help us get out of this mess? Mass transit, dense subsidized housing, remote work, degrowth (negative GDP). None of this stuff sells, especially the last one.
>they can
I'm not arguing hypotheticals here

So why aren't their employers investing in educating their devs & PMs about security? (rhetorical - we all know why)
Companies are being incredibly lazy (at our expense), and the author states this obliquely:
>virtually the entire software landscape has been designed with the assumption of internet connectivity
Why has everyone seemingly discarded these ideas or forgotten? Yes, it is a pain to manage. Industry could reduce this pain, but investing in good security isn't profitable.
Blame the profit incentive.
>I can think of a LOT of reasons that hospital computers really should be connected to a network.
"Network" is not synonymous with "Internet(work)"
I'm reminded of a classic @dril tweet:
> drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,
