My take?

  1. corporations aren't allowed to own land or houses other than the office space and production facilities.

  2. people can only own the buildings they live in (with proof of living there at least X% of the year)

  3. The state takes over all houses and land that become unused by these laws

  4. The state rents out their property as 'rent to own', or as housing for the homeless

He is a weak mans idea of a strong man. He is a dumb mans idea of a smart man. He is a gullible mans idea of a trustworthy man.

A con man through and through. Only the mentally weak and brainwashed people believe in him. Too bad that there are so many of them.

Yes I had a coworker that commented like that:

i++; // increase i by one

Tells you nothing new - a wasted comment. Everyone who can program know this. A comment that describes what you do.

i++; // increase i to move to the next entry

A better comment, explaining why you do what you do. Always add information in your comments that the code doesn't supply already. If you name your variables and methods well, good code is often self-explanatory. Use comments when it's not.

Of course in this trivial example no comment would be needed.

Oh and use XML comments, when applicable.

Reminds me of this joke:

Two worker see their boss arrive in a fancy car. The older worker sees the envy in his younger colleges eyes and says "You like the car? Well, if you really put in the time - you know, really work hard and do a lot of overtime - for a few years? Just work yourself to the bone. And that might just be enough... for him to buy another."

Didn't he already get a side chick? I vaguely remember something like that...

The batteries analogy in the Matrix was bad and originally it was that the machines used humans as bio-computers, which makes a lot more sense.

AI has its uses: I would love to read AI written books in fantasy games (instead of the 4 page books we currently have) or talk to a AI in the next RPG game, hell it might even make better random generated quests and such things.

You know, places where hallucinations don't matter.

AI as a search engine only makes sense when/if they ever find a way to avoid hallucinations.

You can understand Peterson better if you remember that he is very Christian. If you believe that God personally looks out for humanity, how could climate change be happening?

They must really hate that dealerships insurance company. I don't think that even registeres with Elon.

To hurt them you have to strike closer to home.

Just think about it: the rich made the one way people had to generate generational wealth too expensive to acquire - the family home.

I was lucky enough to get the money for a house, but I don't see the next generation being able to afford that.

Work your whole life, suffer in poverty when you get to old to work, leave nothing but dept to the next generation.

That will be the new norm now.

You want to follow your not-money-generating dreams? Become a philosopher? Travel the world? Just enjoying your life? Well, you better be rich or you can forget about it.

The rich didn't just steal everything they can from us, they made sure that we suffer if we don't work for them.
