  • I'd agree with that, both are problematic.

    A lot of stubs should be deleted until they are expanded, they're often more confusing than knowing nothing at all. I don't think an LLM summary will help here though.

    Reading a few articles deep is not only a pain in the ass, but is going to dissuade those who won't do it. There's also the issue that when you do wade in it might link to something that is poorly cited and confusing. Again, I think an LLM is going to make things worse here.

  • "This is built on Rust with (Bitcoin style) encryption, whole new architecture," Musk added. And here's where the skeptics and cryptocurrency fans in the digital town square pounced: There ain't no encryption on the Bitcoin blockchain.

  • It's vote with your dollars, which does in a sense shift blame to the consumer.

    This doesn't have anything to do with trump though, its been going on forever. There will always be rich countries and poor countries. Poor countries provide labor for the rich.

    The better argument to make is that $208 is higher than the average wage in the country for unskilled labor. That doesn't make it right, and it looks like shit when you break it down to 'I paid $45 for this shirt, and that's one of the 209 shirts that person made on Tuesday'.

  • The real issue here is that neither Nike nor almost anyone else in this sphere owns a factory. It's all contract work. So Nike, H&M, whoever, says 'I need 1 million black t shirts' and they put it out to bid. Manufacturers from Cambodia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, etc. Bid on it and Nike goes with the lowest bid that meets their standard of quality. Workers are paid by the month, not by the piece. Currently the wage in Cambodia, is $208, for six days a week.

    If that is not acceptable to you then change your buying habits.

    In 2016, the Sri Lanka Ports Authority had to repay ₨ 9 billion ($134 million) in construction fees for the Hambantota port, which, by the end of the year, accumulated a loss of ₨ 46.7 billion ($696 million).

    These countries are often pressured to vote with China in the U.N. too
