is it not both?

create value because the windows have to be replaced and employees are paid for their labor in doing that.

destroy value bc they -1 inventory each time a window is broken


It's a net value loss. This is literally the parable of the broken window

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_broken_window

The fallacy is to think value was created by buying someone's labour to fix the window. This is value that's been displaced from something productive to something unproductive.

Instead of going from 0 to 1 (invest the money and create value), you went from -1 to 0 (spend money to fix the window to get back to where you were) and, overall, the value of a perfectly good window got lost.


I've never understood why this isn't obvious to anyone with a room temperature IQ and 30 spare seconds to think about it.

In other words, everybody but economists and certain philosophers. :-)


bruh dont sweat it. mainly everyone here is SF tech bros who have never worked a hard day in their life lol

Correct. These are the creatures that will ruin your home/barn if infested with them.

Source: recently finished getting rid of a rat infestation in my barn. they also reproduce at a crazy rate. Some poison + getting two barn cats = problem solved.


>but AFAIK there generally isn't a warm connection between the CCC and the BND

nor should there be.

Similar to how us American hackers have a huge dislike and distrust of the FBI.

Your own law enforcement agency will lie to you, manipulate you, raid you, extort you, and imprison you over bullshit.


"Your own law enforcement agency will lie to you, manipulate you, raid you, extort you, and imprison you over bullshit."

But this is not, how it should be. And not all law enforcement agencies are like this.


It's very difficult to stop them doing this. The extent to which it happens varies a lot, and some countries and places have a much worse problem than others, but fundamentally if you "cause trouble" to "respectable people and companies" you're going to get hassled by law enforcement. Yes, the sarcasm quotes are important.

Hello psyop account, how are you doing?

>You can tell because they're all like "Russian gets shot in the ass by a drone LOL" with Metallica playing in the background, like they're not even trying.

Literally every war has combat footage coming out of it that has music overlayed into it. See /r/combatfootage.


which means it was removed...which is the entire point of the post bruv

This is where I'd actually appreciate "blog spam" i.e. a quick post to mention the URL, link to archive to show what was there before and explain the significance.

Their CEO should serve prison time for being so incompetent but hey c-levels almost never get punished which is sad.

Yup, Chase Bank app will not load at all. I think its a "security" feature that it wont load on rooted phones lol


There's some reasonable fear that at some point large portions of the web will require secure attestation that a device is not rooted; this may come in the form of automating age verification for convenience. When all it takes is a checkbox on Cloudflare to require 18+, a lot of site operators will just use it.


GrapheneOS phones are not rooted.


17 minutes to go now!


People are going to have to die in order for us to increase our space knowledge. It sucks but thats just how it be, it requires humans for most of it.
