I mean, the numbers are pretty significant, but like there really isn't a great argument when they're already talking about second non-primary homes. Like no one is forcing them to own them, it's not a necessity

Edit: I've done a little research, and it looks like they might only be changing the valuation method for the super expensive homes

It was, the 40 hour work week was hard fought for.

Also, 996 is apparently a thing


> But when they get into the business of slowing down technology adoption to protect workers, that's when they get into the territory of giving unions a bad name.

I would consider the emputus more on companies to not roll out new technology in a way that harms workers.

*Impetus, but also, why? Why is it a company's role to figure out how to soft land a technological advance that might cost you your job?


Why is it waymo's problem to help uber drivers?

> I'm curious if there has ever been an instance where people have been able to "tame" a technology to consider a broader, societal good, or if we've always just been at the whims of how any particular tech naturally concentrates or dissipates power.

One example that comes to mind is cloning. It's technically fully possible to clone a human right now (as in make an embryo with one person's DNA), but it's wildly taboo.


> it's worth considering why it hasn't totally taken over "naturally".

Because is advantageous for employers to keep workers as close to the brink of burnout as possible as a method of control


This looks awesome, and I've been waffling about moving from Notion to something local/markdown based for a while. My only issue is that I really like using "databases"/tables, specifically for moving through processes ticket-style, in Notion. Does anyone know if there's something similar elsewhere? I'm not familiar with the knowledge-base/wiki space, I just kinda fell into notion.

Check out Tolaria [1]. Open source, works locally, uses markdown, no-databases. Git client built-in. Even has Notion-style input.

This looks REALLY good, thanks.

Most other note taking apps haven’t worked for me… but Tolaria fits like a glove.

I'm hoping Tolaria will do the same for me. It's been a journey!

I would say "open source markdown knowledge-base similar to Obsidian" but I'm not a marketing guy

Your markdown notes without the circus.

The boringly simple knowledge base.


So this is my art degree coming out, but I feel like invoking the name of Dogma 95 and the "vow of chastity" without what appears to be any of the original people involved or blessing feels a little lame, especially when the actual rules are pretty different from the original. At least, I don't see any indication of like a real personal connection to the original.

I feel like they probably should have come up with a different name and just noted the connection in the manifesto


I feel like people are reading this as "this is how the under signers think all movies should be made, and we are judging movies not made this way as a moral failing", when I think a better reading would be "as directors/film makers/story tellers, this is how we think we can maximize our own creativity and joy when we make movies".
