“Wrong” asserts a level of objectivity which has not been established.

My argument is simple: the computer industry has failed to produce general-purpose devices which non-specialists can safely operate. That's security threats like phishing, but also just the ever present fear almost all computer users have of installing something which will break or degrade their computer.

When a high percentage of people choose to buy devices which are more restricted – and thus safer to use – the correct response is not to crank up the smugness and say that they need better education but rather to ask what we should change to make a general purpose computer safer without going all of the way to the app store model. As the most obvious example, strong mandatory sandboxing could be a big improvement while still allowing a knowledgeable user to adjust the sandbox policies or develop their own.

> A billion people believe the Earth is 60,000 years old and was created in a week by an all-powerful bearded deity

I find this comparison apt, but presumably not in the direction which you intended:

We have a preponderance of evidence that people cannot operate computers safely, ranging from the billions of dollars spent on support and data recovery services to e.g. ransomware being an industry with at least 8 figures of annual revenue.

Smugly asserting that people buying safer alternatives is due to poor education seems rather close to the creationists who assert that every hole in their theory is caused by insufficient faith. If that was ever going to work, it would have done so already.

ActorDB is not a distributed clone of MySQL. So yes you must know which actor you are querying.

This is why we say it is mainly a database for apps. If your queries are always hitting a specific user, then you make that user into an actor. Fully relational, within an user.

There is another data type, which is a KV store. But there you are always operating on keys. With the added functionality compared to most other KV stores is that the value can be structured. You can have multiple columns and tables all tied to a specific key and you can incrementally update the value (most other KV stores only support complete rewrites of value).
This seems like an excellent system - you are getting productive output from more people than we do. This sort of contradicts the impression I have of the UK, namely council flats full of people who haven't worked in years. (Admittedly, I lived in the UK less than a year and don't know the stats.)

In the US most of our poor folks don't work - do you have stats showing differently in the UK? I'm very curious now.
> that's why virtually no jobs actually pay the minimum wage.

I thought this statement might be due to the crazy-low federal minimum wage in the USA, so I looked at statistics here in NZ where the minimum wage is closer to reasonable (although still only 75% of the living wage [1]). 2.4% of people in employment earn minimum wage [2], and 39% earn less than the living wage for their main job [3] (about the same if you look at total income). All statistics and values I've collected are for 2013.

OwnCloud - I just don't trust an American company to host my data. Now, is my small UK based host as likely to be as effective at protecting my data as DropBox? Maybe not - but they don't have a proponent of torture on their board, so it's swings and roundabouts.

TT-RSS - I couldn't find a decent RSS manager which I liked. TT does the job - and I'm not worried that someone will decide that Google+ is better and force me off.

Ampache - all of my music is stored as FLAC, which can be a PITA to transcode and/or stream. This sits on a box at home and I can listen to my music wherever I am. I'm not reliant on a corporation who might decide that my music isn't licensed correctly, or they don't want to support my hardware, etc.

Personally I use WordPress rather than Ghost - it's more flexible for my needs.

> Majority of people drive at or slightly below the speed limit.

For my entire driving experience, from the North East of the US to Northern California, to specificially the portion of the road this car was driving on, this is false. People drive, very reliably, ~5mph over the speed limit. When you get to 35/40+ mph speed limits, ~10 over isn't uncommon, ~15 for people going uncommonly fast. I can't recall the last time I drove under a speed limit (minus exceptional road/traffic/weather conditions) and I'm slower than most drivers I encounter.

The ownCloud Android client required duplicate copies of all the photos & videos (the original plus a copy in the ownCloud folder) which filled up storage on my phone too quickly. Once this is sorted I might try it again, even if only for the calendar and contacts. It has many features but I just don't need most of them.

The evolutionary argument for selflessness
I did try. I even applied to second tier Universities in Asia. It's really not that easy. It's a very very competitive market. When you graduate you're broke and you don't have a lot of money so you can't wait around. As well, universities take a percentage of your grant money so they prefer to hire researchers that require expensive equipment. Finally to get a faculty position, even at a third tier university, you're going to have to have a sponsor on the faculty. The more novel your research is, the less likely you're going to find someone who sees you as a collaborator.
After quickly browsing the docs how do you interact with this? It's written in C++ and needs ZeroMQ. That's about all I managed to get out of it so far, no code examples and very light docs.

Here's a post from 2012 titled "AMD’s OpenCL heaven and hell":
http://www.msoos.org/2012/01/amds-opencl-heaven-and-hell/

Things have not changed since then.

Here is the author of the book "OpenCL in Action" discussing his problems with AMD's drivers: http://www.openclblog.com/2014/10/amd-and-opencl-20.html

Best quote:
"dealing with fglrx is murder. I have never installed an AMD graphics driver without repeated trial and error."

My own impression (using AMD consumer cards for OpenCL on Linux) is that AMD just do not give a damn - their documentation is way out of date, their support in the forums is poor/nonexistent, their installers are just broken most of the time, etc etc.

You should have continued to look around, you were in soho. There are so many great pubs, restaurants, coffee places within a few streets of the John Snow - it's one of my favourite areas of London to wander around in and try new places.

If you're talking unremarkable in terms of history, I'll defer to your judgement on that because I'm no expert! Certainly it's no modern glass-and-concrete jungle in soho though - the architecture's very interesting, Victorian in places, and I know for sure there's at least plenty of post-war historical sites of interest around those streets.

3.9% of people paid hourly wages earn at or less than minimum wage from that link.

Your figure of 0.9% is for people over 25 who earn exactly minimum wage (1.6% in that line earn less than it)

Edit: Also, if you're not paid hourly (i.e. flat salary), you'll not be included in those tables. So if you're salaried at minimum wage, but work unpaid hours (which seems to be common in the US), you're earning less than the minimum wage, but not "Officially".

Mindshare is irrelevant. MongoDB is killing it in the enterprise right now. They have integration with Oracle, Teradata, Hadoop and countless partnerships with other vendors. You can guarantee MongoDB will still be around in 20 years the way it is positioning itself. Can't say the same about RethinkDB (as great as it is).

> PostgreSQL has gained JSON and is gaining better replication in order to cover the same niches

The PostgreSQL replication story is pretty pathetic given how old/mature it is. And I've seen nothing to suggest that anything is really improving in this area. There are a range of addons none of which are supported or built in. Basic replication is confusing, the documentation non existent in parts and good luck getting any support.

You compare it to MongoDB (or really any of the newer NoSQL databases) and it's like night and day. It takes minutes to setup a replica set and there is plenty of documentation and official support for any issues.

This is a defeatist attitude. There's always going to be people who don't care. What's the voter turnout rate in your country? I'm sure you can find some starving people who will pick food over privacy, or some junkies who'll pick drugs. Those people are not part of the privacy conversation because they have other priorities.

Anyhow: the goal is not to nag everybody into locking up all their personal information. The goal is (or should be) to build a society where people have control over the dissemination of their personal details/communication, rather than "everything is collected by powerful entities, deal with it".

BI is just a huge subsidy for employers. Competition in the labour market will absolutely crush salaries if everyone gets a basic income irrespective of whether employed or not.

Now given that income taxes > (or even >>) corporation and dividend taxes even if those reduced wages translate directly into increased corporate profits the net tax take by government will fall, whilst their liability goes up from BI obligations.

All BI will do is enrich the business elite and drive further inequality.

A semi test case of BI is being inadvertently conducted in the UK with tax credits. Thanks to effectively subsidised wages by the state, wages have remained stagnant or fallen. As wages have fallen more people qualify for tax credits, further subsidizing wages in a negative feedback loop. Net result: the cost to the state has ballooned to 30bn/year from an originally projected 2bn/year with over 50% of working households now in receipt of them, coupled with ever increasing equality gap.

Far from harmonising wealth and reducing inequality, basic income will have exactly the opposite effect.
