An income tax rate of 80 percent on any income bracket is extremely heavy according to my definition of a 'heavy tax', as is a tax amounting to 2-10% of the value of privately owned assets. His proposal is of the typical disastrous socialist variety that show an utter misunderstanding of how capital is formed.

>You are circumventing the basic question. From where property came from? Did individual said "Let there be property" and property came into existence?

You didn't ask that question. I answered it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12829401

>No, property is a result of individual's or an organized group's utilization of natural or human resources.

Acquiring property is a result of an individual utilizing their own property, or the human resources that others freely give them, in a manner that generates value.

Piketty's proposal is to violate people's human rights. The fact that it's done through taxation rather than communist-style expropriation of the means of production doesn't change that.

>We are discussing taxation of higher income not some petty transaction between individual player. However,

The principle doesn't change because the values involved increase. A sound principle is universal, and not arbitrarily stop being morally applicable due to considerations relating to the sum involved. There is no sound principle for a tax on income or private property.

>if we take your argument to its logical conclusion and imagine a billion dollar Multi-National making the same argument that I am just bartering few thousand tonnes of clay with few hundred tonnes of seashell so we aren't responsible for soil erosion and extinction of species.

But I used clay as my example because it is abundant.

If we are going to change the fundamental premise of the example, and assume a scarce natural resource is being appropriated, then society could certainly charge a fee for the act of appropriating the natural resource.

Let's say that each tonne of iron ore extracted from the crust costs society $10.00 in diminishment of natural resources, and in environmental damage. Let's say society charges an iron ore miner $50 to extract a tonne of iron ore, to compensate for these costs.

Now if the iron ore miner pays the fee, mines the ore, smelts the iron, and fashions the iron into an incredible machine, you have absolutely no right to what the machine produces. An income tax is not a tax on using scarce natural resources, or a charge for damaging the environment. It is robbery against someone successfully generating economic value. It is a human rights violation.

Glyphosate resistant GMO crops were developed in the mid 90's and early 2000's, Roundup was on the market in the 70's....

Resistance to pesticide and herbicide has been always developing, the fact that we have weeds that are resistant to Glyphosate doesn't have anything to do with GMO's, Glyphosate would still be used.
I love that they try to make it assessible. But I disagree with that it would be an acceptable goal in git just to understand a subset of it. You need to understand nearly everything, even the internals. Only then it can really become useful to you.

The mistake the community made is putting git on the throne of version control. It's not. It's a tool for experts that can do a lot for you if you know how to use it. But to achieve that it pays the price of not really being assessible.

Now that it's in its position, the best thing you can do is to learn it. There is the git book. Read it. Annoying, I know. But that's the gameplan. Not doing it is just dragging out the inevitable.
Well for what it's worth, I think property is an effective economic system which should be utilised to the extent that it leads to good outcomes. I think arguing about a philosophical notion of property rights is ultimately pointless if a system that enforces them doesn't lead to better outcomes than one that flagrantly violates them.
It's a little dickish.

That said, I don't think it's unethical. Ex-employees writing 2.0 happens all the time. It usually doesn't work, but it can.

With an increase to minimum wages, the housing price will increase and they'll still be homeless.

We could argue that the increase may also impact people who earned more, the one at the limit won't be able to afford their places anymore and will become homeless.
On a similar note, you can do the same with Christchurch, New Zealand. Except that instead of economic downturn, we had several earthquakes instead:

You don't realise the sheer amount of destruction the earthquakes wrought just from looking at the city in it's current state.
GPL is not about the end user. GPL is about the software.

The end user doesn't care about modifying the source code. And if the end user did care, the end user would also care about being able to chose a permissive license for their modifications. Because then the end user would be the same as the "publisher" you're talking about. This means there is no dichotomy between the "end user" vs the "publisher".

The GPL is about the freedom of the software, not the rights of the user. It effectively proclaims software as a common good that is inherently unownable. It does this for a philosophical ideal of a greater good (the popular comparisons with communism are obviously hyperbolic but not entirely unreasonable).

Making this about the "end user" vs the "publisher" is incredibly intellectually dishonest. MIT and friends grant the user of the code more rights by definition because the user can re-publish their modifications under a different license (without impacting the original code so nobody "loses" anything).

The irony is that this actually makes the GPL a useful tool for commercial publishers because it prohibits competitors from creating private extensions to the GPL code without making them public -- while the original copyright holders can still keep their non-GPL copy of the code around and make private extensions to that without having to obey the GPL (as long as they don't include any modifications others have made to the GPL code directly).

Heck, the common standard practice of corporate open source projects is to have all external contributors sign a CLA that effectively grants the company direct rights to the modifications outside of the project's license, allowing them to redistribute the modifications under any license they see fit.

The GPL is a restrictive license. It makes more restrictions on how the licensee can use the licensed work. This serves a moral ideal, yes, but don't kid yourself that this isn't restrictive.

It's like saying democracy is freer than anarchy. You might be correct in a philosophical sense (because in a democracy there is a system in place protecting the liberties you are afforded) but saying that democracy affords less restrictions would be absurd.

Any indication anywhere of the software noticing it's not running on official Apple hardware?
I guess we can agree to disagree on that. I think if we step out of the philosophical, it's clear what private property rights are at the level of principle. True, there is a lot of disagreement in relation to specific cases, but I think that's due to superficial understandings people have about these cases, and that once the complexities of the given situation are elucidated, there would mostly be agreement on what a person has private property rights to.

As for outcomes, knowing what we know about incentives and how they affect the behavior of economic agents, and extrapolating the effect of the evolutionary processes of the market, it's inconceivable to me that violating private property rights would result in better outcomes in relation to increasing economic output over the long-run, than protecting them.

I think you just made the decision for it going on my christmas list, I always loved the TrackPoint on my old thinkpad, not having to move hands from keyboard was a nice win and I still occasionally use that machine if I have to do a lot of typing and need to be away from my desk.

It's crazy that I'd pick an ancient R50E (Celeron 1.4Ghz feel the speed!) over my vastly more powerful 17" Vostro but the keyboard really matters.
I have the idea of creating a tool which is more like a tutorial for commands rather than the reference that `man` is. Has anyone made something like that before?

I thought of giving it a name like `tutor`. Where you can use it without arguments for a general shell tutorial and with arguments for a mini-tutorial about a command

$ tutor

Welcome to the Bash command shell. This is a short tutorial about how (and why) to use the shell...

$ tutor ls

Use `ls` to view files in the current directory or one you specify. Examples:

- ls

Lists current directory (excluding files starting with a ., these are "hidden files")

- ls -A

Lists current directory including hidden files
...
===

Something like that at least. I think one of the worst things about the shell is finding out about the functionality there actually is, so having something like that built in could be handy. Maybe you could also have it do something like `tutor copy file` and have it find and list commands that fit the description.
I was already aware what you have posted which ofcourse did not answered my question. What I came to know now is, from GPL-3.0/5.c

which does answer it.

> The MIT/BSD projects are not separated out. I think they can claim GPL license on their created code, but that has to been clearly identified. Easier if they removed the MIT/BSD components, and make them git submodules.

Using MIT licensed projects doesn't require you to keep the code for the parts you've adopted eternally isolated from your own. If that were a requirement, that would entail an inability to make any improvements without also distributing those improvements under the MIT license―which is directly antithetical to the permissiveness that the MIT license aims for. The parts do not have to be easily separable.[1]

To be clear: mixing MIT source into a project (whether by copying files, or by copying snippets) and distributing the result under a license that is not MIT is something that is absolutely kosher. The only requirements are that you have to reproduce the MIT license text and any corresponding copyright notice somewhere when you start distributing the thing to other people. Look into what Google and Apple do with Android and iOS or type about:license into Firefox for three really great examples of how to satisfy the requirements of third-party projects when incorporating others' code into a project with a license that differs from the original.

The only thing Automattic is in the wrong with here is to have linked to the licenses and copyright notices of the original project rather than include a copy of if inside their own distribution, which is arguably a faux pas in some circumstances and in some circles, but it's easy enough to remedy and no court would ever award past damages for it.

1. For a license that does work like that, i.e., a weak, file-based copyleft, you can look at the MPL. http://mozilla.org/MPL/

It isn't about believing your government is moral or good.

I wouldn't say all, but you do have a point. I like to wander and get lost and eat at places that look interesting. I have friends who literally spend 20 minutes reading TripAdvisor reviews before walking into any restaurant on vacation. It annoys me, but I have to admit I rarely have a completely bad meal with them on vacation.

Funny story time. My first trip to Europe, GPSs were somewhat of a new thing. I rented a car to drive from Paris to Nice with a stop in Epinal to see a US cemetery where my great grandfather was buried. The car was supposed to have a GPS, but did not. Luckily I had printed out directions/maps - or so I thought.

Once we got out of Paris and on the highway things were good, but then we had to get onto side roads in the French countryside. The directions actually had things like 'after your 21st roundabout take the 3rd exit'. Of course we got lost. I noticed a store that looked like a French version of Walmart and pulled over to hopefully buy a GPS.

Since we were a long ways from any big city, no one spoke very good english and my french was terrible. After pointing and making gestures for almost an hour I finally was able to buy a GPS and go on our way. We did make it to the cemetery right before they closed, and made it to Nice much later in the night.

It makes for an entertaining story now, but if we had not stopped and bought that GPS we would not have found the cemetery that ended up being the highlight of the trip.

I agree completely - his writing is a joy to read.

At the bottom of the article it says he "writes about sports, particularly baseball". Baseball, more than other sports, seems to generate great writing. I don't know if there's something writerly about the sport itself or if it's just a coincidence, but there seems to be a correlation.
"Qualcomm stated that it will not provide support for Android Nougat on any device using the Snapdragon 801 or 800 chipsets. The Adreno 330 GPU does not support the Vulkan or OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics APIs, which must be present in order to meet Google certification requirements for 7.0"

I would have hoped that someone bought Qualcomm and burn the brand for good. I hate them ever since they don't release updates for the two year old Snapdragon 801.

This is a bit like saying you can't trust AES because it was declassified by the NSA and offered to the public.

It works well enough within its limits. There is nothing that will protect you from active surveillance from a global actor and given enough time passive surveillance will de-anonymize you as well.

As for the part with government level actors using Tor, it's not surprising or new, why wouldn't they use it ? Just another tool.

And if you are using Tor to sign in to Google, then your threat vector is local and you are trying to increase security (privacy) in communicating with your trusted party (Google), not anonimity. Or that would be the logical assumption in using Tor this way.

I'd keep going, but the point is he seems to misunderstand what Tor can and can't do and even how to use it for any given scenario. As though the default usage in any scenario should offer complete anonimity against all possible forms of surveillance.

It kind of reminds me of "we need backdoors in crypto that only we can access" level of understanding.

One interesting thing is that when the port is the same for everything, the port itself (the shape, size, look and whether it matches the other thing you're looking at) ceases to be a useful interface for connecting things together physically. Instead we need other indicators, labels, and on-screen error messages to tell us those things, which is a much more indirect and less clear way of understanding connectivity.

Did anyone ever stop to ask if we really wanted everything to go through one port, even if everything wasn't really inter-compatible? I think we had it pretty right before, with a mix of ports, some of which were exclusive to a purpose (like HDMI, power, audio), some of which were generic (like USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt). Now we've removed clarity for what exactly? Aesthetics? "Simplicity?" The technological advancement of a single standard? There could be good reasons, but we should be aware of the usability tradeoff.

My impression is that completely unhindered property rights lead to ever amplifying inequality, as those who own capital are more able to earn money than those who do not.

I think a Capitalist system needs to be paired with a wealth redistribution mechanism to damp that amplification, such that inequality can only ever be maintained by constant effort.

EDIT: And while you may be right, I think being unable to conceive of ways in which you may be wrong speaks poorly of your imagination.
I experimented with Hackkntoshes years ago. It was a fun toy, but overall not the best use of my time. Upgrades required effort even if they didn't outright break my system.

More importantly, Hackintosh requires custom kexts, at a minimum FakeSMC.kext. That kext is used to bypass Apple's hardware locks. Has it been audited? If so, can you trust that the installer you use to wedge the kext in actually uses the clean kext and not a rooted version that puts you at risk? What happens when you load that kext? Even if it isn't overtly trying to compromise your system, does it open security holes? Does it silently corrupt your disk due to a bug somewhere?

Let's say you're ok with all that. What happens when you make it big, and Apple decides to sue you for breaking the EULA of MacOS? I wouldn't base my business on it.
They feel basically like the new Thinkpad keyboards (e.g. X1 Carbon). The only weak point is the USB port which can break pretty easily when you travel a lot with your keyboard, although with enough care it should not be a problem.
