- Comment on Interesting how artists don't make enough money from their creations, so our solution is to make certain information illegal to share, rather than give them a universal basic income. 1 year ago:
If their art doesn’t make enough money then it’s clearly not in enough demand.
Unless you burden the word ‘enough’ with far too much work in that sentence, then that implication doesn’t necessarily follow. It is possible for something to be in great demand by those without money to spend. Furthermore, it is possible for there to be issues with the logistics between the source and the demand (e.g. demand is very physically distributed, or temporally limited and/or sporadic).
Money is a very particular way of empowering and aggregating only some demand. It ties the power of demand to history and not moral or egalitarian considerations for one.

- Comment on Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history 1 year ago:
When it first took big bites out of Firefox, it wasn’t slight at all. I have only my hazy human memory on this, but some pals and I ran a test script at the time. Iirc, Chome would routinely load enough to start reading in 2 seconds while Firefox was more like 6 on average with our site list and went over 10 way too often to ignore.
It had been very easy before that to blame the sites for all the crud they were larding in. But it was like Google’s clean, fast search page compared to Yahoo’s “junk you don’t need” frontpage all over again. Chrome won on speed fair and square.
Thus ends this yarn by one internet fogey.
