What I don't understand is why these huge numbers of unemployed workers (which must depress wages to the minimum) aren't like catnip to labor-intensive industries. It's like having our own little China/Vietnam/Bangladesh within our own borders.

Is the minimum wage too high or something?
Sure buddy, sure.
The USA wouldn't stand for Germany or France to be unwillingly taken over by Russia or China. They're not going to allow a foothold in their own backyard.
Nintendo deserves some of the blame. They most likely created this shortage on purpose to create press.
This is one way that markets clear prices when demand edges production. There's are many ways to do it, for example auctions. In this case the price sensitivity of the market is lower than the producer set, so the market is willing to pay more for the good than the product is selling it at.

When this pricing mismatch happens, there is the ability to close the pricing gap through repricing by a third party otherwise known as arbitrage.

This is one of the more important functional requirements for a market and the producer can take advantage of this based on how they price. Nintendo could have priced the system much higher and seen the same output but it may not have made as big if a splash, so really it's Nintendo driving this frenzy because they and all other major companies are good at this.

It's not a big it's a feature (really in this case).

> To say that the US president being a "statesman" caused all of those things is a massive leap in logic.

I am saying that "being a statesmen" doesn't always cause good foreign policy.
It is not my call, I defer entirely to The Machine. We can not understand its reasoning, only attempt to understand how it became what it is. Serious question on this topic though, does anybody know if this facial recognition library has been completely open sourced? Apologies if the answer is glaringly obvious or has already been answered in this thread.
I thought GPL was incompatible with the App Store? Wasn't VLC famously pulled from the App Store over a complaint about this? I know VLC eventually got back on, but I'm having trouble finding any info about how they resolved the problem.

But moved demand on T-shirt making elsewhere freeing up resources otherwise spent on expensive T-shirt making to focus on other demands.

The problem isn't how money moves around, it's just money, the problem is resource allocation.

Someone mentiones Henry George, he was on to something in viewing land as an important commons, something to derive rent for all from instead of insisting on labor as the only source of common wealth. (Also see Thomas Pain wrt to that line of thinking btw)
Sure there is.
If you're being "forced" to pay $600 for a $60 item because you must buy one right now, perhaps you need to stop and question the nature of your relationship with that person.

If you are so bothered by having to wait for them to come back onto the market at $60 that it hurts you (as opposed to, say, just being a minor annoyance), perhaps you need to stop and question the nature of your relationship with yourself.

I respect Thiel's loyalty to Trump. As people are hiding from Trump after the bus incident, he comes out writing a check and giving a speech about why trump is the right choice again knowing he will get crucify in the Valley. Hope he does well now considering his influence in the Valley.
This argument is ridiculous. Otherwise there would be no such thing as luxury goods.
Most people buy the fat capitalist factory-owner alibis hook, line and sinker. So don't be surprised he if he calls it horseshit. That's exactly what it is.
Seems to me the question of secession was definitively settled in 1865.
The presidential powers act allows the Commander in Chief of the US armed forces (aka the president) to send the military anywhere in the world for up to 60 days so long as he notifies Congress within 48 hours of making the decision to do so. This was made law under the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

Then again, if you send the military somewhere hostile, in 60 days you've likely started a war regardless of what Congress thinks.
Mosh and technologies involved actually have an iOS exception that makes it compatible as long as the resulting project is GPL'd too.

In the case of VLC they had to relicense, so a process very similar to this one.
I don't have that but the judge was pretty dismissive. From chessgames.com:

In a hearing late in the day prior to the first game of the match, U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero was not persuaded that organizers of the $1 million, 12-game tournament had a legal right to block the websites from disclosing the moves until after each game.(7) Rejecting virtually every argument that World Chess asserted, he said, "I know this area of the law very well."

Peter Thiel joins Trump's transition team
"In another scene, Ramanujan goes to the post office to see if there are any letters from his wife. When a dejected Ramanujan leaves the post office empty-handed, he is approached by a group of young men in military uniform. Ramanujan is mocked, kicked, pushed to the ground, and his face left bloodied. This event never occurred. There was not a single instance when Ramanujan was physically abused because of racial prejudice."

Why do you think this scene was manufactured? Should it be chalked up to trying to make reality more interesting or to an effort to deliver themes aligned with audience expectations?

This convenient story seems to be picked up by a lot of people who have not read the book, e.g. "World War I throws the campus into chaos and exposes Ramanujan to more pointed racism." (http://www.filmjournal.com/reviews/film-review-man-who-knew-...) or "...what we received instead was a shameful expose of twentieth century racism, an exploration of otherness, professional jealousy and small mindedness" (http://teachingmathsscholars.org/news/the-maths-scholars-sch...)

In fact I've always found Ramanujan's story to be an excellent example of open-mindedness and the meritocratic approach to judging people.
I'm having a hard time thinking of wealthy nations suddenly plundered. All i can come up with is the mongol invasion, and the conquest of the incas. The Incas are pretty marginal though, obsidian embedded in a stick isn't much use against toledo steel.

Being powerful and picking the wrong fight seems like the usual collapse. The Spanish losing their armada, or Germany's first invasion of France.

Help me out, remind me of some of those people, would you?

edit

Maybe Carthage falling to Rome? i don't know enough about the circumstances. I do remember something about Hannibal occupying most of Italy.

further edit

France falling to Germany is a pretty good example.

I can't help but think sudden all out invasion of the US leads immediately to nuclear war.

I dunno. backing away from playing world cop might be the worst thing ever. I'm just not smart enough to foresee what that world might look like. I'd hope some sort of international organization would be founded to pick up the slack, and the U.S. would play a role in that. Really, the election is over. all i can do at this point is watch what happens.
Maybe it's just me, but I find that there's a strong parallel between that argument and the reason why many people voted for Trump. And I could try to give you my own views on why that might be morally questionable, but Joe Scalzi already did that way better than I could ever hope to: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2016/11/10/the-cinemax-theory-of-...

I'm sure Google would be happy with that because as in all such cases where some blog claims that Google dropped them down the memory hole for absolutely no reason whatsoever, we don't ever hear Google's side of the story. Google has nothing to gain from commenting. But in court they would have a reason to respond, and then we'd find out exactly what kind of malware these guys were hosting, or whatever.

It's worth pointing out that "sold" doesn't actually mean the buyer has any intention of paying. It seems fairly common in this scenario for people to put fake bids on products like this for whatever reason. And the winner in that particular action has a 0% positive feedback rating, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
This concept is a troll haven. Politically motivated trolls have become a rampant problem online. I think they are the single biggest obstacle to the progress social media (in the broadest definition, which includes this project here) can effect towards non-partisan goals like empathy and factuality. How will you deal with this issue?
To me, creation and standardization of the capability is evil, even if it takes a further party's decision to cause actual effects. And I see those subsequent decisions as pretty inevitable, given how the market functions.

I would draw an analog to surveillance. I have a problem with surveillance itself, even without the surveillance being used to facilitate any bad effects. Even just building the systems normalizes the paradigm and puts us in a precarious situation.
Yes, we've really corrupted the terminology in order to fit a multitude of positions into two political parties.

I'm guessing that most of the wealth in the Republican party comes from people that are Republicans because they want a lower corporate tax, rather than people that want bans on who can use which bathroom. But somehow they ended up in the same political party.
Neither is "Who do you think you're kidding". Who do you think I'm trying to kid?
Not to mention that having the production capacity to meet initial demand on a popular product would be an huge waste of money.

Best case scenario, a week or two after launch, the vast majority of that capacity would be sitting idle after the initial rush is over and the purchase rate tapers off. Worst case scenario, the product isn't as popular as you anticipated and you've got a big ol' writedown to deal with. (Atari anyone? Blackberry tablet?)
> Charles & David Koch didn't endorse or fund his campaign or use their political entities to support him.

Maybe not directly, but Pence has pretty strong ties to the Kochs and his nomination as VP was widely seen as a nod to them.
I disagree that the Windows kernel is a "more modern design overall." There are certainly a few bits and pieces that are nicer. One example is I/O completion ports, which are nicer than epoll and friends. But there are also places where Linux is way ahead, like multicore scalability, virtualization, or resource management.

Fundamentally, the WinNT kernel and the Linux kernel both use preemptive multitasking, virtual memory addresses, paged memory, file and process abstractions, and so on. WinNT is written in a weirdly limited dialect of C++; Linux is written in a weirdly augmented dialect of C. Most people would have to agree that they're more similar than different.

It's true that Linux was originally i386-only, but that didn't really affect the kernel design much. It was always written in portable C, with just a bare minimum of assembly language where needed.

Probably the worst things about the WindowsNT kernel were:
* The decision to bolt on vestigial OS/2 and POSIX interfaces (mostly done for political reasons, to get contracts where "POSIX-compatible" was a requirement).
* The decision to push parts of the Window Manager into the kernel, making life harder for servers.
* NTFS is overly complex (streams, anyone?) and has mediocre performance.
* All the horrible hacks to keep old proprietary software running (though a lot of these were in userspace, not the kernel)
* Horrible coding style-- using macros instead of void*, for example, and hungarian notation everywhere.

For me, it doesn't seem logical to tax imputed rent but not any other capital good that saves you money from renting the equivalent good. If you own a car, why not tax the imputed income (net of purchase costs) from not having to rent a car?

If you own sports equipment, should you be taxed on the imputed income you could have gotten from renting it out?

Sooooo this is a hardware problem.

Rubiks cubes are solved.

So it doesn't have to do the 'minimum' moves as they say, might waste time working it out.

But even so it probably does the minimum moves.

Since I think that's mostly easy, just hard to prove.

But either way, even if you add 5 moves to use a lookup table, back to hardware.

For humans rubiks cubes are very easy, just memorise the instructions. Books have been out for decades.

[Edit] it's interesting that they imply it might take more moves for physical reasons. Not sure if it's about destroying the cube or speed of turning.

We are aware of the "track Caps Lock" problem. iOS actually has an option to disable caps on the accessibility but still doesn't work with external keyboards. Hopefully soon.

Your argument can be summarized as that we should ignore what copyright law says because the consequence of the law is bad in this particular case for certain chess companies.

That's neither a sane or reasonable way to make legal judgments. Can you show a sound legal argument why the judge's ruling was wrong?

FYI, there used to be a 'hot news' doctrine that might have protected the chess moves (and the FIDE made this their argument), but it's been largely superseded or overturned [1].

Disagree with your first point -- Linux (and POSIX, and UNIX) itself is a gigantic layer of abstraction on top of your hardware, allowing you to develop userspace software in much the same way as you would on a PC 25 years ago. Additionally, many applications do use large abstraction layers to simplify their architecture.

Trump literally hides his tax returns and they just kind of go "we're going to break federal law to publish them"
Funny how the anti-trump people are now resulting to physical violence and rioting.
At this time you'd already be under arrest tough, and probably in a tiny cell for a while. That was my point, this is what trolls look for. Then, unlike with other trolling methods, I'm pretty sure you need quite the clever lawyer to get out of this.
Look into why Charles Johnson was banned. They took a statement he made that obviously meant "I am going to write a news story about this person that will be very bad for them" and tortured it into a death threat, and banned him for life.

There is literally no defense of this because it was so obviously a bad-faith interpretation, and yet other people have very obviously put people in actual danger, like Spike Jones tweeting George Zimmerman's parents home address, and nothing happened to them. Johnson, whatever you might think of him personally, was banned forever for something he obviously did not even do when you look at the tweet. If they like you, you can say almost anything. If they don't almost anything can get you suspended.

The hashtag trending thing is another case of this, if they basically like your message then they'll let it trend, if they don't then they'll suppress it. You can only really derive that this is happening from observing in very specific ways, no one actually tells you they do this. They have other tricks too, if an undesirable hashtag gains popularity, out of nowhere a misspelled hashtag autocompletes, to "nudge" you to a dead end hastag that nobody is listening to. It's fairly obvious once you become aware of it, because popular hashtags autocomplete, unpopular or not-trending ones don't, but "roach motel" hashtags somehow bypass this. Nobody knows globally what this single corporation decides to let be widely heard and what it invisibly suppresses. It is a free speech issue because private or not, as the Arab Spring stuff demonstrated how much influence Twitter has on society, which makes it one. This is the bog-standard, not-full-of-shit liberal position. It's even Chomsky-endorsed.
