> " I soon discovered that all the books leaned on the same central argument: value is an inherent consequence of scarcity. My rebuttal to that was simple: it’s an exception, not a rule. My kids’ doodles are scarce, but in a gallery, they wouldn’t fetch much. "

There isn't really a market for kids doodles, and with the barrier to entry being really low the supply is many orders of magnitude higher than the demand. So the central argument stays.

Not a great start of the article this.

Its called the Kessler syndrome. Small fast moving debris crashing into larger fast moving debris destroying it creating even more smaller fast moving debris that keeps crashing into more debris etc etc etc.
Re:Twitter to label 'good' bot accounts on Friday September 10, 2021 @11:36AM (#28483034)
AFAIK the Fediverse requires this (on mastodon instances).
I can conform this, because I want through the same process.

It was all fun and games until May last year and all my posts were automatically shadowbanned. Fired of a message to the mods and got no reply, hung out on their Discord but by al measures it didn't seem a fitting place. Since I received no notification about the shadowbans nor any warnings about ban evations I ended up creating a new account and continued to interact with these communities again.

Same for Helly Hansen that went from sailing/climbing gear to generic fashion.
I am a daily and happy user of Mastodon. I honestly see no reason to use Twitter, nor one of their products at this time. Calling it now: too little, too late.
Re:Adding Kubernetes support to the Docker platform on Tuesday October 17, 2017 @11:35AM (#15491795)
We run a DC/OS+Traefik stack here and can only praise it. Shame it doesn't get the same amount of love the other projects enjoy, but so far its rock-solid and we are more than happy with it. :)

Re:How to Set Up and Deploy to a 1000-Node Docker Swarm on Wednesday August 17, 2016 @09:01AM (#12304301)
I liked the sentence: "There are a few other arguments that you’ll need to add to those commands but if you follow the docs you’ll have no problems at all."

Oh, you mean like 50% of the work?

As for the reverse proxy: Traefik all the way! :D

To be honest, kinda strange this news only broke recently. TotalBiscuit/CynicalBrit mentioned this months ago.
