A microkernel is an abstraction over hardware with minimal code and API. An exokernel is a form of microkernel since it has these properties. It just does thing very differently from most microkernels. Hence a name for that style.

> How can you even test such a service legally?

It's actually quite well designed and questions such as these were definitely taken into account during the design phase.

I came up with a similar scheme about 15 years ago (as a result of operating that file sharing service) and proposed to the local LE that we set up a service where a 'fingerprint' of an image could be tested against known bad images, and if an image tested positive it would be flagged for review (and on an exact match it would be automatically banned).

The local law enforcement officer thought it was a great idea but it would never fly because even the hashes of the images were considered off-limits for sharing with others and they'd have to share their database of hashes with me if I were to set this up (free of charge).

Eventually MS came up with PhotoDNA and they're too big to ignore.

I remember the free Knytt game(s) and have to agree! The ambience was perfect.

I know there is a new commercial Knytt game, but I fear the pixelated simplicity of the earlier games would be lost. Have you played it?

(I probably should buy it anyway, if anything to reward the author for his excellent previous games).

I've always wondered what the anti-Citizens United people thought of Michael Moore's videos. To protect himself from lawfare from the people and corporations he was exposing he in incorporated. Exactly the same process Citizens United took only their target was Hillary.

It's obvious that you're trolling, but just in case you're not: Eventually you can expect a push against cash in the name of anti-terrorism and anti-crime campaigns. Obviously those will be founded in bull-shit but that's not going to stop it from happening. Whether or not it will succeed is mostly a matter of how it gets sold to the public.

As for how it is possible for all of the available currency to be contaminated with traces of drugs and yet that this does not need to prove that all (or even a majority) of the cash transactions done are drug related, I'm sure you're smart enough to figure that one out for yourself, but evidence such as this will figure prominently in the kind of discussion that will visit us some years into the future.
I would argue that inequality is not a problem at all. It doesn't affect me that there are others with vastly more wealth than I have, since I have enough for myself and my family. Unless I'm simply envious, the inequality is not a problem for me.

Rather than inequality, the problem is really that the bottom end of the range is too low. There are too many people who are not able to find enough work to provide an adequate income. There's a litany of social and economic reasons for that, but that is the problem, not the inequality itself.
Sure does
Corporations are groups of individuals. Individuals have free speech rights. They do not lose those rights by working in groups. That doesn't require Citizens United or Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad; it takes (among many other arguments) recognizing that compelled speech from a group means compelled speech from the individuals comprising it.

There are substantial arguments that need making about whether code is speech, whether compelled production of code is compelled speech, whether compelled signing of code is compelled speech[1], and so on. But I don't see any reason why those arguments should have different answers when applied to the group of people comprising a corporation than when applied to individual people.

[1] For that one, see Wooley v. Maynard, which even in the dissent said 'For First Amendment principles to be implicated, the State must place the citizen in the position of either apparently or actually "asserting as true" the message'; that sure sounds like the function of a digital signature to me.
Ya and that may all be true, but I just don't feel it because I have a stamp.

I did get my masters going part-time at night, some colleges support part time for bachelors as well. You COULD keep working and pick it up on the side...

I love this. Economics is such a complicated system that the expert opinions have long been biased toward the 'opinion' side, forget about the large stakes in the game that the loudest voices hold.

A physical model of network effects that presents phase transitions gives us a view into the underlying reality. So cool.

Sadly, for 100+ years we've known about the destructive effects of deflation on leveraged economies (Much longer for the accelerated growth that comes with leverage), yet the leadership in political economics continues to call for hard money and budgetary surplus, which doesn't even make sense with respect to accounting identities.
Very true, Valve crafted a wonderful story, environment. It had a better AI than most too.

Goes well with my movie arguments. I can rewatch SW 4 without issues mostly because of John Williams music. The 70s film color spectrum is also at play. So far, things have to be refined in many dimension instead of being all-in on some technical specs. Kinda reminds me of Nintendo way of life. Their hardware was often subpar (slower cpu) yet a better substrate to make games interesting, beautiful visually and musically.

Ok, I misunderstood snow days to mean generally snowy days. I am from north and we have snow many months of the year. I thought if snowy day causes school to shut down it must be in a place where it doesn't snow this often. If snow day means day when school is shut down due to extreme weather it makes sense there are those especially in places with bad wearher. I wish we would have had them here when I was in school.

Pareto optimal solutions is an extremely important concept.

Of course, just because something is Pareto optimal, doesn't mean it's the best solution. But the best solution is DEFINITELY going to be Pareto optimal.

People's consumption does not occur in a vacuum. If I spend less money on going to the movie theatre, I have more money available to buy books. Either way, I'm putting the same amount of money back into the economy.

If you want to know the real significant cause of lowering aggregate demand, look no further than rent-seeking and wealth accumulation. Billionaires aren't going out and buying their proportional share of movies, books, electronic goods, etc. They're using their money to collect rents from securities markets.
Apart from Enron, the rest have little to do with capitalism but mostly to do with markets (or, more precisely, our fucked-up financial institutions and deficient financial regulations).

> It's irrelevant to my original point though as capitalism is by definition hoping to get something from doing nothing

You have to be really stupid to think that, and deny all the benefits to our society that capitalism enables. Or, could you please explain how you would e.g. start an airline, or build a hospital, or your house's sewage system, without utilizing capital?

Well, the WordPress scene tends to make most of their software open source, including the stuff they charge for. For example, every official WooCommerce plugin is under the GPL, as is Gravity Forms and Easy Digital Downloads.

These are also paid plugins. What this means is that once you download them, you can theoretically use them on as many sites as you like, release edited versions yourself or use them for as long as you need to.

What they charge for is basically the following:

1. Updates, since otherwise you have to find and install any updates outside the WordPress dashboard.

2. Support from their support team

That's how the WordPress scene in general works for paid products. The products themselves can be used however you like, but a paid license gives you access to support and much improved ease of use as far as updates and things are concerned.

So you can make money from open source software, and it would theoretically be possible to have all software as open source.
I think we are more or less in agreement.

> There is no optimum level of equality than can be solved for using a mathematical equation

This is not true: We can choose any function to maximize. As you correctly point out, the usefulness depends upon the validity of the quantity we're trying to maximize.

I don't know enough to say if Pareto efficiency is optimal here or not.

To follow up on agumonkey's additions, to me at the time, all the elements combined to give a sense of presence (in the VR sense) that I'd never really felt in a game.

Characters talking to you in-game, banal everyday moments and a believable world (ex elements caused by "the accident"), seeing your hands, a reactive environment (remember, for you youngsters, boxes shattering and random items on desks being movable was novel!).

All the little details added up to just make the world feel different than other games I'd played.

I use the location of the script to find the absolute path to the bundle (MacOS folder), from which I can work backwards using ".." to find other things like bundled libraries.

In my case some of the libraries are also compiled so I have a starter script that sets DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, etc. and runs a 2nd script that can then successfully import whatever is required.
The model in the paper is offensively dumb. A basic explanation (taken from a web-forum where economists hang out):

The paper says

The model consists of N agents, each with capital ci with i = 1, . . . , N. Agents are allowed to trade among themselves M objects. Each object m = 1, . . . , M has a price πm.

Starting from a feasible allocation matrix A, we introduce a random trading dynamics in which a good m is firstly picked up uniformly at random among all goods. Its owner then attempts to sell it to another agent i picked up uniformly at random among the other agents. If agent i has enough cash to buy the product m, that is if `i > πm, the transaction is successful and his/her cash decreases by πm while the cash of the seller increases by πm.

In other words:

1. Prices cannot vary. The price a good is set in stone.

2. Agents do not purchase
things they want. They "pick up" goods and immediately try to sell them.

3. They sell them at these pre-determined prices to other people, whether the other people want them or not. Well, there's no such thing as "want" in this model.

4. Nor is there any planning by agents. No ability for them to say "Crap, I only have $5 left. Better not spend it on this vase this guy is selling."

On an unrelated note - I read your term 'jury-rigged' and was thouroughly confused for a good minute. It sounded right in my head, but reading it on paper (screen) it looked wrong. Except looking up 'jury rigged' led to results about... Juries being rigged. Eventually I realized that the term I was looking for is 'Jerry Rigged':

I think it's like everything else, in areas where it's hard to hire engineers, companies will be willing to take open up their requirements... We're lucky in the tech industries, where positions and promotions are not based on degrees. Might be helpful for the first job but once you've got 1+ years of xp, it's all about what you can do, not your degree.

Most of my friends in other industries HAVE to go back to school for an MBA or other degree because their company "only give X positions to MBA". Stupid.
"What we're discussing" is a system which is not in the end being rolled out, but Tesla, at an early stage, did mention precisely the issues I brought up.

What is the root cause of economic inequality? I would argue it is rooted in the super admin - user relationship inequality of the monetary system and the inherent conflict of interest.

"but I also gave you a serious response"

And I followed up on your serious response with the suggestion of "good souls", plus an analysis of the alternatives. I then addressed to your sarcastic response, taking it serious to show the different ways to analyze alternatives.

"You don't pick out two words that someone says, make it about your wife, and call them a sexist"

What I wrote started "See, that's the sort of sexist language that encourages knee-jerk reactions, and gets people like me labeled "PC". I did not call you a sexist. You may think that's only a technical point. I can accept that, though I disagree. It certainly wasn't meant as an attack on your character. (That said, would you prefer a safe area where you won't get your feelings hurt?)

If you can suggest a better way to object - one more likely to lead to effective change, let me know.

As it was, when my wife was demobbed and we went to the Army FRG meetings (https://www.armyfrg.org/), even a few of the external (civilian) presenters would refer to the returning soldier as a "he". They were quickly corrected, and not just be me. And when I did object, the presenter did not turn around and call me PC or accuse me of besmirching their character.

It's almost as if the way towards good discourse is to respond to an objection rather than double down on the original viewpoint despite a warning that it's a sensitive subject.
Except inequality of wealth means inequality of power. Do you really not see the problem with someone's social "power" being 300, 3000x (or worse) that of another person?

Maybe that person is Bill Gates. Maybe it is the Koch brothers. But unless you strongly believe wealth correlates to competency and good will, it seems the system will inevitably attract abuse (power corrupts).

Banning someone for calling YC out is bad enough, but bad mouthing him afterwards and claiming that he mistreated founders (or YC founders saying that he did) is such a cheap shot.

There is absolutely no history of Jason being known for mistreating founders. The opposite is true. AngelForum, free Launch tickets for founders and so on. He wouldn't get in the deals he's getting in if it were any different.

As it currently stands I'd never enter YC as a founder. Your comment cries of hypocrisy and falseness.

Either you honestly think he's mistreating founders then ban him and tell it like it is (and back it up with proof) or you don't think he's mistreating founders and think the feedback is unsubstantiated (if it exists) then man up and do what's best for YC founders.

I think this data is still useful because there isn't a one-to-one correspondence between those devices and the viewers.

To support this hypothesis, you'd have to show that some other process did make (for example) the perfect editor.
Otherwise, this is not a weakness of open source.
