Shh the people are frothing at the mouth. Protect yourself and your own, grab the popcorn and enjoy the show. I think we are pretty much past rationalizing.
His golden parachute value is tied to the stock value of the company, so of course he doesn’t care about long term projections, only short term while he’s still at the company for a couple years.
Prove that this was a necessary condition in the first place. Places to freely trade information with other people existed before “captialism” was even a word.
Answer my original question first and you have your proof or not. If you can’t answer, there’s your proof.
Yeah, information was freely traded before the advent of capitalism, and you’re still free to walk over to your neighbor’s house and ask questions about your code, but they’re not going to be near the quality of a large scale service like SO.
Where do you expect the resources to come from to have and serve content reliably? They don’t run on hatred of capitalism, they run on money.
They don’t run on hatred of capitalism, they run on money.
I’m pretty sure there’s a “hatred of capitalism” cable going in every Stack Overflow server rack! Don’t believe it? Well just answer my question, if you can’t, then there’s your proof
China is successful from the capitalistic point of view, but it failed to uphold the ideals and principles of the system described in the document. The exploitation of the people is through the roof.
Edit:
To further explain my point: Communism is a flawed system that cannot exist in its idealistic form due to the excessive concentration of power in the state, leading to three potential outcomes:
The collapse of the country.
The transformation into a state capitalist system, as seen in China.
The transformation into an authoritarian regime, as seen in North Korea.
Communism is, in my opinion, a pipe dream because it proposes a classless, stateless society where the means of production are collectively owned and wealth is distributed equally among all members. However, in practice, historical attempts at implementing communism have faced challenges in terms of human nature, central planning inefficiencies, and lack of incentives, leading to economic stagnation, authoritarian rule, and often the collapse of the system.
China is communist in name only, in practice they are the definition of State Capitalism. I also wouldn’t describe a dictatorship that commits genocide as a success, in any case.
Oh ffs another billionaire dunce is about to destroy something nice, aren’t they?
Doubt the CEO of Stack Overflow is a billionaire

Are we talking about the same stack overflow?

This perverse incentive has been brought to you by…
Capitalism! ✨
Ah yes the same evil capitalism that:
Do you have a better system in mind?

Stack overflow could only generate and moderate its content through collectivism.
That’s true, but does your answer on SO pay the bills for running and serving the content?

I have a quiz for you; Name a single successive communist country.
China

Only if you can name a single successful capitalist country
Name a single country that actually implemented communism and wasn’t undermined by the West with coups, sanctions, or outright invasion.
Oh and the word you’re looking for is “successful”. “Successive” is not in any way a synonym.
