Real estate / property prices is a dirty human value farming business. Homes have turned in to battery farming pens for humans, 3 x borrowing rate, 4x, 5x, 7 x… remove that deposit, 100% loans at 3x etc…
The % payment per month is the profit the banks make, we are the product now.
Louis Rossmann exposes the Apple company, and now, by accident, he’s exposing the corrupt new york real estate system.
This is what unsafe money does to people…
And that is why I prefer honest chickens to lying human “business people”.
One day, science might produce the “business chicken”. What then?
I’m sure “business people” abusing science will keep producing all kinds of abominations. But I’ll stick to old native breeds, just like I do now. They don’t lay as many eggs, but they live long and are tough as nails. True little dinosaurs, but survivors.
The topic about internationalization by @folaht (Suggestion: SAFE Network URL’s support for other languages/scripts through internationalized protocols) made me think about how various people in the world type on their computer. I immediately thought about the Chinese and their languages as they have many characters. This video is about exactly that:
In short, it appears most mainland Chinese people learn pinyin and use the pinyin method: A romanized version of Standard Chinese that when typed allows the text to be converted to Chinese characters.
From 7:53 the video might not be worth watching as it contains some humorist explanations about a sentence sounding like ‘**** you’ and the usual YouTube outro.
Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Twitter are in the federal government’s crosshairs, but the technology necessary to undermine their dominance may already exist.
From 2017, 12 minute cartoon on surveillance dystopia. Interesting approach, not sure myself so posting for reactions.
I like it. It’s an extremely warped spoof of 70s British children’s TV for an untrusting era. More black humour than pushing a message I’d say.
Scary…
It’s full of hidden frames…

The regime is fukn demonic, the world should be very afraid.
The world could very easily end Chinese expanding power too and we don’t do anything about it. Stop making stuff in their country for cheap, impose tariffs that they can’t withstand, don’t allow them to debase their currency, stop allowing Chinese students into western schools ect. They can’t grow and sustain themselves within. Isolation and watch them collapse.
Add to that. Stop allowing them to buy up international businesses and land without 100 year lease agreements.
The author’s blog is also quite interesting.
I think this is one of his more interesting posts, with a bit of future vision for Unison.

What I am proposing is a radical shift that could mean the end of huge internet businesses like Google and Facebook. Or rather, it means that Google and Facebook would be forced to compete on functionality with programmers all over the world, any of whom could write similar functionality that could be substituted for Google/Facebook functionality with literally zero switching costs.
A lot of synergy (yuk, sorry) with the Solid approach of decoupling data from apps there but from a slightly different angle, where he is calling for the decoupling of functionalty from apps.
