I don’t like Reddit as a company and stopped using the site actively. But when I research on niche topics, I often appreciate the answers from Reddit in my search results. From my experience, Reddit often is the single source or at least a very valuable entry point to dig deeper into a certain area. As I block all the ads, I also don’t think that Reddit as a company can benefit much from me as a user.
Would it be racist to now give more money to the darker skinned people?
From my perspective, yes.
The redistribution of the generational wealth should be adressed as well by politics but that should be independent of the racism discussion. Significantly unequal distribution of money due to inheritance is more and more dividing society. But I don’t care if the rich people have a lighter or darker tan.
If you target inequality with inequality in the opposite direction, you’re just feeding rightwing narratives IMO.
I think this would be a lot cooler if there was a complexity modificator to make the solution appear as cryptic as now, but easier to solve for average people.
If you consider only the RAM on the developers’ PCs maybe. If you count in thousands of customer PCs then optimizing the code outperforms hardware upgrades pretty fast. If because of a new Windows feature millions have to buy new hardware that’s pretty desastrous from a sustainability point of view.
