In that case, I stand corrected with Go (I incorrectly assumed that - being supposedly a systems language - it would support the platform ABI, but I guess Go is even worse than I thought ;) ).

> The author of the editorial is from the guardian, not the Economist.

True.

> The individual using the NHS/Schools as examples was the IMF author, not the editorial writer.

False. The NHS/Schools example comes (as is explicitly stated in the Guardian piece) from Will Davies, author of The Limits of Neoliberalism, a completely separate work from the IMF report.
Even with only two bidders and only one item, the scenario I described can take place, showing that assuming other bidders are rational and well informed about sniping tools is required for the theorem to obtain.

I have a couple old Ruby on Rails projects that need some updates ASAP. Primary task will be migrating from an old payment system to a new one. While I hope the process will be smooth, being on old versions of Ruby & Rails will likely cause some hiccups and require patching/custom code. Looking for someone who knows Ruby well and has experience with Rails 2.x & 3.x.

Must be able to start within the next 2 weeks.

The IMF is a lender of last resort. Governments aren't forced to utilize them, and evidence shows that currency devaluation is often a better strategy.

Having unfavorable terms, as you've described, makes the bitter pill of devaluation look a little sweeter.

But in response to your question, I'm not sure how it's not free market. Can you describe specifically what doesn't get covered from the "it's not forced lending" argument?

Unfortunately, that book is dated. It's not even that old, but it's already dated.

Haskell has a discoverability problem, and a good modern book might be the best way to solve it. But it may be moving too fast for that currently.
There's an even better reason that "tell them you have a boyfriend" is bad advice and deeply sexist.

It implies that a woman only deserves to have respect and boundaries when another man has already claimed her. It tells the woman, "You'll never get respect on your own, so pretend there's a man demanding that you get respect."

> Neoliberalism is not a school of economic thought. It's not an actual ideology that anyone associates themselves with. It's a word without any concrete meaning thrown around in order to avoid real discussion.

Then why do IMF economists refer to it as a real thing that the IMF actually practiced?

>The IMF itself is not a proponent of the free market. It exists precisely to support excess government spending and to bail rich bondholders who make donations to politicians. Nothing lassiez faire about that.

Then why is the IMF's usual advice to almost all countries to cut "excess" government spending on social programs while privatizing the kinds of revenue-making national resources/firms that keep the government from having to tax too much?
This is a little different as it has to do with exceeding authorized access as an employee.

The CFAA doesn't allow TOS writers to "invent" felonies, but it does allow for a basis of prosecution against someone who breaks it.

Someone who siphons off data, breaking a TOS, will get treated the same as someone who lies on their dating profile. This is why the CFAA is too vague in its current form.

We're expected to trust that only the "big guys" will be prosecuted under the CFAA, skirting the point of having the rule of law in the first place as no interpretation of a law should be left up to the discretion of a few men.

As well, most people break at least 3 laws a day without knowing it, and they're likely breaking many more throughout the day online, just not getting prosecuted for it, but they could.

This just seems like a walkthrough how to educate a shitty manager who got their "business-degree" from dilbert comic strips. The last thing a manager wants to do is to lowball a guy who's performance depends on his own good faith. If I have to explain to the manager why this is a bad idea and why he is putting me at disadvantage while keeping key information from me and using sleazy tactics he saw in the "boiler room" against me then how can I trust this guy to have my back in the future?

I got to say this almost never happens in the big5 companies nowadays. There are countless internal trainings for recruiters specifically not to do stuff like that and especially anything remotely similar to what you see in pop-culture. I mean what are the chances none of your candidates would have seen "Suits" or "The Wolf from Wall Str." after all? Even if you manage to hire somebody below their market rate it will be just a few months hanging out with peers and he will find out and be resentful.
I think this more just highlights the problem of trying to predict behavior when there are only two options.
Thank you for this clarification.

Hand-wavy editorials about economic busts always come across half-baked and incoherent when they blame the "free market."

Inequality remains a massive red herring. Instead we should be concerned about the absolute standard of living and the level of corporate-government corruption.

Also techies can self-fund for small ventures. Unlike musicians, a typical 'techie' can pull in near 100k per year and save it to fund their side-projects while working, or taking a long sabbatical with a few friends to work on a startup.

Musicians get paid a lot less even when they aren't trying to make it 'big'.
Markets don't exist without states?

Do you not believe that markets existed 1000, 2000, 5000 years ago, in areas that were tribal or feudal or in anarchy?

Do you not believe that markets exist in Somalia and other conflict zones today, where there is no functioning government?

Markets exist any time there are two or more people with goods that they could and would trade.
I imagine there's plenty of artists that read the fine print, couldn't stomach the terms, and were consequently never heard of. Others decided they didn't mind the terms and the odds, some of those made it.

Software founders are just more likely to be from a social class where saying no to bad terms means you can still possibly succeed, and so the market doesn't bear bids of particularly bad terms.
> Founders are special people who somehow glimpse a vision of the future that few others understand, and then go build it.

Ughh, more founder-worship. What's more believable is that lots and lots of people can see glimpses of the future all around them. Out of that larger set, the ones that are lucky enough to have access to the capital and connections needed to start up and run a company are the ones that end up as "founders".

> how do you decide that something is clickbait without clicking it?

It's easy. The headline should tell the whole story:

"Acme Widget stock down 2.5%"
"CERN sientists discover Higgs Boson"
"Smith and Jones tied in polls"

There is no mystery ("Acme Widget stock makes startling change"). While there's not much room for detail, still: 1) I know what the article is about, 2) I know whether I would be interested in the rest, and 3) I can get a summary of the day's happenings just by skimming the headlines. This was the original purpose of headlines and one of the main reasons for the article itself following a structure called the Inverted Pyramid. The headline told the whole story, just in outline. The first sentence of the article told the whole story again, just with a little more detail. The first paragraph covered the whole story again, in yet more detail. Want more details? Keep reading paragraphs. You can stop at any time. Your only loss is some detail. Compare that to the circuitous, long-winded introductions of many blogs, where the writer finally gets to the point about two thirds through.

Clickbait deliberately withholds information, instead of giving all it can in the room that it has. Clickbait churns up questions, headlines give answers. Clickbait lures you into a story that, in the end, was not interesting to you. Headlines help you know whether the story will be interesting to you or not.

>the behavior of the simulation would be the physical laws of the universe they live in.

That's just a tautology. Yes the code of the simulation are the laws of physics for the beings living in the simulation.

But the point of a historical simulation is to simulate your own universe. Not a completely different universe. We should expect simulated Earth to be exactly identical to real Earth. Or at least you shouldn't be able to tell the difference. So we should expect the laws of physics to appear the same, but things that require lots of computing power should fail.

We shouldn't be able to simulate universes within our own simulation. That would be a pointless waste of computing power.

First, I think it fundamentally misunderstands the nature of compassion to insist that it must be mutual. If you say that you'll only be compassionate to people who are being compassionate to everyone else, you are just not being compassionate.

Second, I fail to understand how the speaker was not being compassionate. Do you think she was not being compassionate to her harasser, or to the third party? I think she was being very compassionate to her harasser by answering questions politely.
What follows is an honest salary determination process, where no party has incentive to lie. It is also very fast.
The rules are as follows. (Can't remember where I read about this.)

The company and the candidate write on a piece of paper a salary. The company should write the number above which it is not willing to pay the candidate. The candidate writes the number under which she/he is not willing to work for that company.

The numbers are disclosed. If there is an overlap, they sign a contract and the salary is the average of the two numbers. Otherwise, there is no hiring.

Edit: the parties can play this game only once
Forget about the content of the articles and instead look at the themes.

> I live in "socialist sympathizing" Sweden, and disagree with the broad brush of "suffered with communist/socialist sympathizing governments for a long time". Communist is not socialist, and socialist sympathizing governments don't automatically lead to suffering.

I'm sure there are many socialism sympathizers in Sweden, but it's not a socialist country. It's a welfare state, and conflating the two to mean the same is a serious mistake that keeps being repeated. If you want to distribute wealth, there must be wealth to be distributed. How was that wealth created in the first place?

Sweden, like other Nordic countries often used by misguided people to show how "socialism works", is a market economy, ranking high in economic freedom. The top income tax for companies, for example, is lower than in the US. Luckily for you, your shades of red have not been in power.

> I want you to say why that's meaningful.

It's meaningful because defenders of Cuba's dictatorship say that Cuba would be heaven on earth if it weren't for the embargo. Why should they even want to trade with the evil empire though? Again, I'm making a comparison between Latin American governments who claim that all that is bad comes from US trade and defenders of Cuba who claim it's all the fault of lack of trade.

> All other Caribbean countries can trade with "every other country in the world", and yet some are still living in poverty equivalent or worse than Cuba.

Communism implies poverty. That doesn't mean absence of communism implies wealth. For example, a tribal community is not communist and is not wealthy.

And of course the Bahamas would be worse off if trade with the US would suddenly stop. That's the whole point. Trade is beneficial, and not an imperialist weapon.

Inequality isn't a red herring - not IMO. It's the natural outcome of our fed policies, which have existed largely to recapitalize banks. They've hampered growth (hitting the middle class) while causing asset inflation (and how owns assets? The rich.) So inequality is real, but not for the reasons most think.
The AI can get as close to the similarity line as possible without infringing on copyright and make the final output even better. This could be applicable for everything from music to patented product designs.

Lyrics excluded, there are plenty of human cases where the cover of a song ends up better and more popular than the original. Hell, many of the most well known singers aren't even very good but just a lot better at marketing than say a classically trained opera singer.

Rather than having a conversational AI that can answer complex question the most immediate and low hanging commercial fruit for AI based companies may very well be along the lines of sucking up intellectual property and spitting out stuff that is as good or better. This might sound like theft but it is exactly what every human content producer is doing.

Linden Labs could, at any time, change the terms of service such that you must license all "your" assets in a particular way to keep them live on the servers.

The fortunes are few and far between, and largely the result of a negative-sum game with other users. You cannot take more out than other users pay in, minus the Linden tax. The house always wins, yet only about 5000 users have even profited as much as $10.

Of course it is an explicit ideology that many associate themselves with (though not by name, since it's become something of a slur because it's so obviously religious about the "free market" and hated because of this). It's explained clearly in TFA.

Of course, the classic rabid libertarian answer -- any time any economic failure happens, blame regulations. When we free the markets, and the markets fail to provide anything we want (income equality, fairness, a middle class, a healthy society) -- the obvious conclusion? The markets aren't free enough. Deregulate, so the wealthy can make a killing abusing the poor more than they already do.

The biggest problem, when I look at the American labor market, is that it seems physically unjust.

The sweat of a person's brow and the wear and tear on their body should have some intrinsic value above and beyond what the market will bear.

That someone working as a farm hand, mover, framer, or roofer gets paid a pittance compared to what I earn for sitting in a climate controlled office, moving my fingers, and thinking? I can't reconcile that with any definition of "fair."

UBI is perhaps one way to address this. Wealth transfer to increase robotics usage and physical mechanization / automation application is perhaps another.

But no one should end up with a broken body at 65 just because we stopped aspiring to do better by each other.

I'm not in web publishing but still I'd argue that the whole point of a link title is to get you to click on it. Just like the whole point of the design on your cereal box is to get you to buy that one instead of some other box. One link title can be measurably better than another by counting how many clicks each one gets.
