    Pipes and repeatability are the big advantages of CLI for me.

    Someone asks me how to do something, I can give them one or more commands and they can parse that and understand it.

    On a GUI I have to trying and navigate them either in person or through chat somehow. Plus, if they forget how, they might need to ask again instead of just finding the command in their chat history.



  • From a billionaire’s perspective, more at risk children means more people to be exploited. There’s a whole industry fed by cheap prison labor. Orphans who go through the prison system are incarcerated or arrested at nearly 50% much of which gets funneled into cheap labor.

    It seems like you’re not from the US, but it doesn’t matter how many working class votes we have, many industries in this country thrive off of exploitation of people outside of the view of the general populace starting with slaves, continuing to indentured servants, and undocumented workers now. The next exploitable labor pool is the prison system, and children who would have been aborted are sent to foster care instead where they are funneled into the criminal justice system.

    I’m not saying you should have an abortion just so the child doesn’t potentially end up in jail, I’m just pointing out how the incentives to have a permanent underclass would actually support bans on abortion.

    I’m wondering if you’re maybe thinking of the book Freakonomics where they attribute the legalization of abortion with the drop in crime?











  • I think a lot of people don’t understand basic finance.

    Having healthy savings let’s you spend money, figure out how to save for long term so it can accrue interest and give you supplemental income (basic mutual fund, nothing crazy).

    If you can afford a trip, you can afford to spend $500 less and put that into savings. Even $10 a week quickly and up and compounds, especially if you start young.

    It’s not just about not spending, it’s about putting the extra cash somewhere smart so it goes itself so you’re but sacrificing as much but still having that financial security.
