"A missing piece of Perez’s work, that often goes underemphasized by the private investment community, is the role of government in creating an equitable framework that allows everyone to participate in benefits of technological change. This is not an argument in favor of big government for big government’s sake; it’s to point out that when technology changes the complexity or structure of society, citizens have to push public institutions to transform themselves too."

This highlight explains something that the Californian investment mindset seems to ignore - capitalism is good at creating wealth, but it tends to concentrate a lot of power in the hands of a few; efficient government is needed to distribute that wealth, so that an enough amount is shared and most of society benefit from it.

Intel is just hurting itself with the naming scheme. I've lost count how many times I've heard people say "Oh, it has only i5/i7. I've had i5 already for X years. No point to upgrade."

I guess Nvidia / AMD graphics card style naming might work the best. Product name (Xeon, Pentium, whatever), #generation digit, 1-3 digits of entry/mid/premium level. Like Celeron 120 (generation 1, premium level 2(0)).

Right now non-technical people seem to be still expecting i6 and i8 CPUs.
But most of the people in the 'Research' departments of companies will have PhDs.

There are 'Non-PhD Researcher Opportunities', but only in India and China.

When we founded Kraken, I did a lot of research and reach-out in the alternate financial systems space. The 'basket of commodities' suggestion is very well promoted by theorists in that area, though of course it doesn't remove the problem of manipulation: whether static or dynamic in composition, it has the same problem as setting central bank interest rates today - prior knowledge of manual change to the system becomes profitable, and corruption ensues. Some also suggest emphasizing particular qualities in the selected commodities.
I changed the example since I realised that it is a bit hard to understand. The example now shows how to crack a list of md5 hashes. All I did was convert the myspace list to md5 hashes. You can now try and crack the myspace list in the program's md5 mode. Sorry for the confusion.

Hmm? If you take out a fixed-rate 30 year mortgage that is pricing in inflation at two percent, and inflation moves to six percent several years later, you are in much better shape than you would be otherwise, as you get to pay back that loan with cheaper money.

If you buy a 10 year t bill expecting two percent inflation, and inflation goes up to six percent, you are going to be pretty disappointed.

I know that lately inflation has been hard to find... but it's pretty uncontroversial that these sorts of things happen when the rate of inflation changes.

Now, maybe you are saying that inflation, as long as it doesn't change doesn't matter, and while I still disagree, you have much stronger ground to argue from.

> Furthermore, let's assume each module is its own actor and uses its own backend database.

I would have every module an actor type. There can be multiple types each type has its own schema. Within an actor type many actors. An actor for every product for instance. So all X widgets are in one actor.

> With a monolithic database, there is no need to “lock” any resources, nor issue “confirmation tokens” - just use the DBMS's built-in transaction system!

ActorDB has distributed ACID transactions so I would use that. You can create a transaction over multiple actors. The reason I would split it into many actors is that you're always locking small parts of the system for the duration of the transaction not the entire DB.
The MIT Lisp Machine and its commercial versions from Symbolics, LMI and TI did this.

The memory was not bits and bytes, though. For example a Symbolics 3600 used 36bit words with all data being tagged. various number types, characters, strings, vectors, bitmaps, arrays, hash tables, lists made of cons cells, OOP objects, ...
That was used and checked on the processor level. That way software would not manipulate raw memory in some region, but actual data objects, knowing which space they use and what structure they have.

TI used 32bit Lisp processors in their later machines, while Symbolics went to 40bits to support larger address spaces.
The Danish Kroner is basically that way already.

For some reason, a few years ago somebody got the bright idea that installing globally was a good idea. It became a "best practice" even though you can really run into problems with dependencies of dependencies. It really is important never to install globally if you want to keep control of your dependencies. It's also very important to always delete .node_modules every time you update your package.json file -- especially when deploying. This is the only way you will be able to control what versions of things you have and to track down problems. I like working with Node, but for things like this it still suffers from some immaturity. "It works for me" syndrome is very common.
Your previous post said that they are a very useful DSL for Perl so that "people don't have to do like they do in Go".

Both Perl and Go implement regexps, and neither or them compile them to native code. So I don't get your previous comment at all.

The main difference is that, in Perl, if you ever had to write manual string parsing, it would be much much slower than using regexps as Perl is an interpreted language. So regexps are needed to perform fast string parsing. In Go, you have regexps if you want, or you can go even faster if you feel it's required.

I am a Gentoo user, and I use systemd. I also feel like I am at an AA meeting or something every time I state this fact.

I have heard all the arguments against systemd and many are totally valid. Some of the implementations and management of the project leaves a lot to be desired.

That said, I have run Gentoo on my home desktop for over a decade, Arch on personal/work laptops, Debian on some personal development shell boxes, and CoreOS/Debian on the hundreds of servers I maintain between work/volunteer projects. I may touch all of these in a given day, and I can't tell you how great it is for my personal sanity to be able to run 'systemctl restart ...' or 'journalctl -fu someservice' on any of them. Having a common set of core system tools available across desktop/server distributions has huge advantages.

Also there are some real advantages of systemd design (bloated or not) a lot of people overlook. For one, I help maintain shell services for the general public. Giving users root is of course not sane, but at the same time users are constantly wanting to run their own databases, webservers, etc. Since migrating to systemd we can just tell them "create a unit file in ~/.config/systemd/units with whatever you want, and it will become a system daemon run as your user". This is a huge win for security, administration ease, and usability.

I have also used Gentoo to build base images for embedded systems with minimal resources, and systemd would of been a terrible choice for those use cases. It would of been a terrible choice for ChromeOS.

Choice is what Gentoo has always been about. Let's quit the zealotry and ensure Gentoo continues to be the Linux OS that offers the maximum choices to include the right tools for the problem you are solving.

> I'd rather think "this commit is not correct anymore"

Using the word "anymore" violates the whole abstraction of git, which captures the exact state of the project in each commit. If you look at a commit, there's no "anymore", no other timeframe rather that the commit's; it's either correct or incorrect on it's own.

> But so does merging, as the merge becomes even more horrible and error-prone in that case.

Why?

Just as you don't put all your feature work in one commit, why would you implement a complex merge as one, single merge commit? It makes much more sense to merge each interface change from master to feature branch individually, resulting in atomic merge commits, each of which handles specific aspect, while staying correct.

It's cliche but I think or hope JS will become the bytecode of the web and compiling to JS from your favourite paradigm be it OO, Functional or just JS with compile time type.

The resistance to this is most code is made for $ and the people with $ tend to prefer fungibility. JS devs are easier and cheaper to replace than Purescript ones. From the lens of developers as a list of buzzwords you can to grep this makes sense.

Frameworks get trendy but new languages have a hard time even though the learning curve may be no different.

I just hope somehow better languages than JS will win.

> When you think about it's the perfect tax: it's regressive

Not really. (Tax incidence is one of those things that trips people up if they're not quite familiar with the subject.) One of the attractions is that it is progressive, and very, very difficult to pass on. Also note that we are talking about the value of the land, not the buildings, and that housing is only one of many uses land is put to.

As for J.S. Mill, you might be surprised; he wrote that:

"Landlords grow rich in their sleep without working, risking or economizing. The increase in the value of land, arising as it does from the efforts of an entire community, should belong to the community and not to the individual who might hold title."

He and Henry George had many philosophical disagreements, but not about that.

If you "keep getting besieged to move [your] projects from svn to git", I can guess that who is asking is probably downstream consumers of your projects. What they might actually be wanting:

- Familiarity. Everyone uses git nowadays; like it or not, svn projects are the odd ones out.

- Fast, offline querying of the project's history. With git, they have a full copy of the project's history in their local computer, while with svn, any query has to go to the server. This helps a lot when chasing regressions, or just when browsing the changes between one release and the other.

- Easy branching. Branches in git are more lightweight than branches in svn, and git's merge functionality is quite good. When they want to propose some change to your code, they can just create a branch in their local copy, make the changes they want, publish the branch somewhere, and ask you to merge it; this is made even easier by sites like github. With svn, unless they have an account in your svn server, they have to do it the old-fashioned way.
"Any of the big companies -- Google, Facebook, and Amazon come to mind -- do tons of things that even 10 years ago would have been considered cutting-edge computer science research."

Absolutely true, but is it possible to work in those places without a PhD?

One path I can imagine would be to devote 2-3 years to independent study, attend appropriate conferences and get to know the researchers on a professional and personal level. Build some respect on your own dime before trying to move to professional work.

No idea if that would work, though - whether there are avenues for an amateur-but-devoted scientist to contribute to research, or whether that research would break down any barriers.
We're talking about a land value tax, not a property tax. They're quite different, and if you're curious about the logic behind them then by all means read the original article, or the Wikipedia article on Georgism, both of which go into some detail. Also, note that a land value tax would be progressive, not regressive.

Also, while obviously they could be wrong, if Krugman and Stiglitz think it's a good idea, and Marx was afraid it would help the proletariat out so much that it would delay the revolution, it's probably a sign that it's not as obviously "extraordinarily evil toward the bottom ~50%" as you seem to imagine.
