  • people aren’t usually paying for these licenses, their employers are.

    For the average employee yes, but this disadvantages entrepreneurs, unemployed people who want to develop their skills, independent researchers, etc.

  • Roughly a 2x productivity boost will counteract a ~ 50% reproduction rate, simple economics. We just choose not to even try to have a system that would allow that

  • Here's an idea: don't make your economic system rely on the fact that every single person reproduces

  • In Sweden, young adults feel most dissatisfied while the oldest thrive

  • Yeah no. It is quite bad in many places all over the world. BUT. Big cities in Sweden are especially bad. By law you gotta queue to get a long term lease, and this queue can be 10+ years in Stockholm.

    And yeah funnily enough, this is due to their rent control system. Maybe it could be implemented better, but their current system leads to terrible outcomes.

  • An LSAG signature proves that the signature came from one of the announced public keys, but it is impossible to know which.

    I mean I just took the users word for summarizing the thing accurately, but doesn't seem too complicated to me https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/112036

    Either way, it's not about this specific idea. It's just that you need some technical way to combat bots, be it cryptography, web of trust, subjective moderation etc. If it's open source, there will not be enough volunteers to do moderation

  • This kinda app would need at least an attempt at a technical solution to the bot problem. An open source app can't just pay people to kick bots out. And even the paid apps that can are drowning in bots.

    Something cryptographic maybe. Tor is kinda magical, makes anonymity possible while the each machine knows who they are talking to. Maybe something where you can show that you are "a verified user" without showing exactly which one.

  • Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion?

    Jump

  • I don't think that many people are buying shit quality products second hand

  • Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion?

    Jump

  • Well-functioning second hand markets encourage buying quality products new, cause they have resell value. If the quality is truly shit, nobody would be paying money for it, especially second hand.

  • Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion?

    Jump

  • A few thoughts:

    • Depends how much money you are spending to buy those clothes. If it's almost the same as the price as new, it makes it easier for the people who buy the clothes new to keep buying more and more stuff.
    • If you aren't spending a lot of money, this is like the opposite of fast fashion. You are making the life cycle of those clothes longer by buying them.

    PS. I don't think we should individualize things like this. A significant chunk of the clothes we buy -- and other things as well -- are made under miserable conditions and/or by children, and it's very difficult to avoid all of that. It's a systemic issue that needs to be solved on a systemic level.
