Reminds me of this quote, or some version of it, attributed to various people by various source...

Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

What a great role model, for programmers, for women, but also for anyone working in a bureaucratic system.

One of her famous quotes is "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission". It became a classic. Python's programming paradigm, for example, which prefers exceptions instead of condition checks is named that.

"Computer bugs" phrase also seem to originate with her.

Also based on Wikipedia she also was the oldest serving officer in the United States Navy.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happens in the developing world. As someone else pointed out, if your economy changes from a mostly agricultural one to one more similar to developed nations (where most people aren't involved in agriculture), you're naturally seeing most of your old jobs disappear to automation (and many new ones open up).

In the developed world we don't seem to be going through much of a automation revolution at the moment - for example, U.S. productivity growth is actually fairly low right now[1].

After 6 years of struggle with this career ruining pain, I finally found my remedy in Homeopathy. Medicine name is "Bellis Perennis". In olden days it was a popular medicine to treat RSI of Pianists and Stitching workers. I had taken "Belllis Perennis, 1M potency" 3 times(about 20 small pills each time) in only one day. That's it. No need of taking it again. If pain doesn't go away in a week try 1 more day after 1 week. No side effects, since it is Homeopathy. Since I am not a doctor, Please check with Homeopathy doctor before taking it. Thanks..
This is really great idea. Actually if there is something you can share along these lines, that would be amazing. I know Crowd Flower has a great "internal only" tool, which is kind of similar to what you are designing, but you have to pay for it. Actually I think there is a huge need for a generic tool along the lines of what you have started to build.

Kubernetes has exactly the same issue. The core of openstack compute doesn't have much fragmentation, but all of the flavors come about when you snap in different deployment technologies, different storage backends, different networking backends, etc. Kubernetes is not prescriptive for any of these things either, so it will end up in exactly the same place as openstack with its current trajectory.
What about the news feeds that aren't news feeds that tell us to get rid of the news feeds the aren't news like Huffington Post (a blog, no matter what css it has) or arstechnica?
This. What I discovered from my own RSI pain was that RSI is not caused by bad computer posture or doing any thing too much. It's caused by not doing other things enough.

For me, it was not exercising my wrists in any way. When I'd code, my wrists would be in one position which would eventually start to hurt. But then I took up rock climbing. In climbing, my wrists were forced to strengthen and be put in many other positions. And my RSI pain just went away. I wasn't coding any less than before. But in the time I wasn't coding, I was doing the exercises necessary to keep my wrists healthy.

Also, as an aside, most people's pain tolerance is also terrible. They let their mind take minimal pain signals from their bodies and magnify it tenfold until its excruciating. Some basic meditation training will teach people to minimize what little actual pain they have, which could also allow most to continue working through the pain.
How to Create a Mixed Reality Holodeck
50K is not that tiny, but I'd say in the hundreds is pretty small. I'd say hundreds of training examples is pretty normal in academia, but typically quite small in industry, particularly for problems that are actually quite abstract, such as this (sentiment is another similar problem).
> We have seen actual labor shortages in rural America. Petrol drilling in the Dakotas. That lead to dramatic wage growth for anyone remotely qualified to work in petroleum engineering, so much so that at its height a qualified person with a 3 month training program could make 30k a month.

Natural resources in demand requiring labor is can absolutely cause a labor shortage. But that's not the only way to achieve a labor shortage.

> Demand comes from financial pressure on suppliers to generate supply. Be it labor, corn, or software. Real demand creates a business opportunity.

Correct. Current configurations of labor determines what is and is not profitable. For centuries, horses and man were the most profitable configuration of labor. In my world, robots and AI are. How you configure labor determines the accessibility of demand, which determines venture opportunities in production.

> All the examples you cited are just the exploitation of poor helpless masses for cheap labor to do work that would not be done if people could not be paid so little for it.

My examples are of politically expedient labor doing work that politically inexpedient labor would do, highlighting the influence of political lobbyists in the consumption/demand model.

> Its the extra toaster cozy of the labor market, a thing you do not actually particularly want or need enough to create actual substantial demand, but something you will get on the cheap because its there and convenient.

I would argue this type of conspicuous demand is an artifact of technological slack, allowing producers to market and sell virtualized importance of their own goods. When paired with demand having excess wealth to expend, productive forces adapt accordingly. When technological slack is paired with lack of wealth expenditure, again, all this means is a labor shortage to drive the price points down. Having a robotic work force that can produce goods for pennies can allow those goods to be accessible to even the poorest, allowing them to depart with their wealth in exchange for the good. Thus, the reason the good is not consumed is because of its price point, which is caused by labor shortages. Robotic labor can soften the labor shortage price spike by simply allowing more labor that doesn't have human costs.

> There is no future in that. Economics cannot be powered by the utmost of human desperation and poverty.

Yes. However, the productive forces of economics can be decoupled from human desperation through robotic labor. That changes everything.

> People move from rural areas to urban ones because there is no demand for them where they came from.

There is no demand where they came from because they suffer from a labor shortage to provide the goods of their labors against urban economies of scale.

1M potency in context:
> 30C (diluted 30 times), 200C (diluted 200 times), 1M (1000 dilutions), and 10M (10,000 dilutions).

> A popular homeopathic treatment for the flu is a 200C dilution of duck liver, marketed under the name Oscillococcinum. As there are only about 1080 atoms in the entire observable universe, a dilution of one molecule in the observable universe would be about 40C. Oscillococcinum would thus require 10320 more atoms to simply have one molecule in the final substance.

>Multiple entities pushing an open source core is usually a good thing

No, it's not that cut and dry. Depending on their product, they end up pushing the core to be more pluggable and extensible to make it work better with their product and have places to add secret sauce.

Any company that sells support benefits from more complexity because they compete by gaining expertise. Any company that makes a product for it benefits from fewer features in the open source version.
Of course, I'm being a little cheeky, but ah, my sentiment of digging a moat around a house with an unlocked door is an idea I'll always keep in my back pocket, and show no hesitation in applying a ridiculous solution to a ridiculous problem.

Obscurity and inscrutability certainly will never supplant the Objective Ideological Truth that "Security" tries to be, but it's often useful as a source of leverage when all other leverage would be denied to you.

You could never ever claim to endorse obscurity for its own sake during a daily stand-up or a conference call, because people woud rip you to shreds for any number of valid reasons, but when push comes to shove, and you find yourself on the losing side of someone else's moral hazard, being able to throw a smoke screen up, where a brick wall would be preferred, is sometimes all you can do.
Imagine Google/Apple/Microsoft or any such big business controlling your home appliances via their IoT enabled devices. They can literally kill you by disabling these devices (e.g. room heaters, refrigerators etc) in the time of need. Be warned, say no to "IoT by big corps".

> If "discrimination plus power" is required for racism, then low income white skinned people, and especially homeless white skinned people, can't by definition be racist. This mean only people with money enough to change society (top 1%) or people that can exercise power through a higher position in society has the ability to be racist.

Not exactly, because the academic definition does not apply directly to individuals anyway (as opposed to xenophobia, which is a personal trait). Racism, like every social dynamics, is a statistical phenomenon. Also note that even even within the bottom, say, 5%, white people still have more power than blacks. But you are correct that racism generally works through people with more power.

> The top 1% is general perceived as having most power in society as a single group

First of all, we are not interested in quantifying exactly what share of racism does every individual or a slice of society hold. It is implied that racism works through power, so you can do the math.

Second, you mentioned "a single group", so I'll raise a point I find interesting. In social research, there are several kinds of groups we're interested in. Groups that are merely statistical set (how much money does the 1% have etc.), groups that have cohesion and common interests, and groups that are perceived to have cohesion and common interests whether they do or don't. The top 1% are certainly a group in the first sense, possibly a group in the second sense, but probably not a group in the third sense, although that may be changing as some politicians and political groups are trying to make people view them as such.

> Surely they as a group holds no power to perpetuate an unfair distribution of power.

That's true (although they may hold some power in their local communities).

> If we want to keep the definition of "discrimination plus power", what amount of power and how do we measure it? How do we measure a groups ability to be vessels for social dynamics?

It's not very easy and it's not very precise, but it doesn't have to be. We're trying to understand the basic mechanics; predictions are impossible anyway due to intractability. You can measure power in several ways. One is to measure it through proxies like money or positions (e.g. average income, or how many women CEOs there are). Another is to measure its effects, like whose groups interests are best served by legislation (at the various legislative levels).

> Do we only count the quantity of power, or the average power per individual?

Whichever is more useful for whatever it is we're discussing, but when we talk about groups, it is often the total power, rather than "power per capita" that counts.

With #1, Do you think it will become some form of modern feudalism, with wealthier and powerful individuals owning the local community?
> Dictators tend to have to keep at least a portion of their population happy, otherwise they lose control.

The portion can be very small. It has to include the military, and it has to include the people involved in creating GDP, but if production is centralized (e.g. because the nation's resources are in digging stuff out of the ground), then the masses can be kept very poor.

Watch the "Rules for Rulers" video I linked above. Resource-rich dictators don't need to provide public education or adequate roads, say nothing of adequate food. "The people stay quiet, not because this is fine, or because they're scared, but because the cold truth is: starving, disconnected illiterates don't make good revolutionaries."

So can production be centralized in the face of mass automation? I think so. Look at farming. Seizing control of all of the farms in the 1880s would be a massive operation spanning the entire North American continent. Seizing control of today's Big Farming conglomerates would be relatively straightforward for a modern dictator.

Which is to say, we'll get through this if the automation is decentralized, but if it's like farming, where a few expensive machines make all of the food for hundreds of millions of people, then we're on a path to ruin.

Can you explain your reasoning? I don't get where you obtain "somebody will try to starve them instead of feeding them" from "If the people themselves aren't providing wealth through productive labor."
A surprising amount of developers have their own side projects. These should be encouraged by employers because

a) most of these projects don't go anywhere and so the likelihood of you loosing a staff member to their hobbies is low, and

b) because employees often explore new technologies and educate themselves when doing these things. It means your employee loves what they do enough to keep doing it in their spare time, and is getting an education which helps their day job and doesn't cost you a cent.

But not all employers see the positives in this, so make sure that any clauses about your place of work owning your work produced outside of office hours are removed from contracts, and NEVER do any personal work on company provided computers or using company provided software. You're just setting yourself up for trouble.
> develop in compared to a host of better languages (Swift, Scala, Groovy, and C# all included

Swift, Scala, and C# are statically-typed languages, like Java, whereas Apache Groovy is dynamically-typed originally -- though static typing was added in Groovy 2, virtually no-one uses it. Dynamically typed languages like Groovy are good for glue code, build scripts, and testing, not for developing actual systems.

Competition of democratic labor against automation is an interesting way to look at the current US popular support for tariffs and trade barriers.

Popular wisdom seems to look at China / Mexico manufacturing as supported by low labor costs, but in reality they're more and more supported by capital-intensive automation (enabled by the systems engineering expertise at running the low-labor cost plants originally).

Hold on here. No one called Trump bigoted. Let me grab a quote:

"BUT - that doesn't mean Trump didn't make a very racist statement, to purposefully incite bigotry."

See? They just said that Trump made a racist statement. Anyone can do that–doesn't mean they believe it.

We can argue semantics all day.
Actually, Trump is saying Mexican are rapists and that he assumes some are good people. Presumably the default is that a Mexican is a rapist or drug dealer. Not the other way around. Full quote below:

> “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

It's not that hard to follow and I'm not sure why some of his defenders go to great lengths and creativity to try to explain how he was only referring to actual rapists. The idea itself of "Mexico sending people" is also some weird anthropomorphism of a country, as though Mexican politicians, rather than jailing their criminals and rapists, somehow force them to illegally immigrate into this country. Either way, nothing in his quote refers to the fact that "Mexico" is sending them into the country illegally.
