Capitalism does not require infinite growth, this idea is not taken seriously in economic circles. Keynesian and neoclassical economics do not consider or require infinite growth.

You can be profit driven and not require infinite growth, if you make 2% profit every year you are not requiring infinite growth.

It's not true that maximizing profits is the duty of a company to it's shareholders, here it is from NYT and supreme court:

There is a common belief that corporate directors have a legal duty to maximize corporate profits and “shareholder value” — even if this means skirting ethical rules, damaging the environment or harming employees. But this belief is utterly false. To quote the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in the recent Hobby Lobby case: “Modern corporate law does not require for-profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else, and many do not.”

The profit does not increase, it stays the same (adjusted for inflation), it doesn't need limitless growth.

If every year I sell 100 bushels of wheat for 2% profit, I'm not experiencing any growth

My friend's parents have been running their farm at the exact size profitably for almost 80 years, they exist in existing capitalism and have not died out or been crushed. There are many mom and pop stores and medium sized companies that exist without dying or growing

Neoclassical theory also doesn't require/consider imperative growth

Now, is that DevOps engineer worth that much more than the warehouse guy who picks the item to send to you?

This is going to make me sound like a prick, but yeah the DevOps guy is worth more than the warehouse guy, maybe not 500k more but still alot more.

It all comes down to how many package deliveries 1 warehouse guy can facilitate vs 1 DevOps guy. Speaking as someone who worked at a warehouse (package distribution fedex) for a short period of time, moving boxes is nowhere near as valuable.

Not to say it's not crucial, but the ratio of engineers:package handlers needed is really high

'Vortex Cannon vs Drone' - Mark Rober shows off tech from a "defense technology company that specializes in advanced autonomous systems". That seems bad

I've enjoyed Mark Rober's videos for a while now. They are fun, touch on accessible topics, and have decent production value. But this recent video isn't sitting right with me...

nooneescapesthelaw ,

He worked for the military as a missile test engineer, even did an interview with a four star general. The general described the video he was making (the interview i mean) as a weapon

It's a tool that basically pretends to be a user, it opens the website just like you and i other users do. It collects the data (images text videos) just by browsing around.

They used to be prolific, but the problem is that they use a lot of resources on the website's end. Instead big website owners started offering public APIs which allow bots to collect data without taxing the server too much

Bro your on lemmy, most people are already de googled, almost all those who aren't are pretty damn close

nooneescapesthelaw ,

You're probably getting downvowted because you came off like a prick

nooneescapesthelaw ,

If it ain't broke don't fix it

Invidious does not rely on the api, its a scraper

DAE have a the problem where they click on a post for an image, and the image appears briefly before showing a broken link icon? Using Connect for Lemmy browsing on Mobile...

Question is the same as the post title. I'm using Connect on mobile and very often I'll click on a thumbnail for an image, the post will open and the image will appear briefly before turning into a broken link. Just wondering if it's something specific to Lemmy, if it's just Connect, or if it's something I'm doing?

No

Senators Demand Justice Department Halt Funding to Predictive Policing Programs – The Markup (themarkup.org)

The idea behind predictive policing is that by feeding historical crime data into a computer algorithm, it’s possible to determine where crime is most likely to occur, or who is most likely to offend. Law enforcement officials can then make proactive interventions, like conducting patrols in predicted crime locations, ideally...

It just tells cops where to patrol, they don't arrest you based on it...
