Specialization is (mostly) orthogonal from self-ownership. Distributism is concerned not primarily with autarkic relationships, but rather with reducing the amount of usury, rent and wage slavery.

Yes, self reliance (and sustainability) is more emphasized than it is in modern liberal western economics, but that doesn't denigrate the concept of specialization, it just elevates other aspects of political economy as well.

It's a set of ideas worth approaching with an open mind, in my opinion. John Medaille's books is very well written, even if you don't agree with much of it.
I'm sympathetic to your point. But ultimately I gotta disagree with the premise of your argument -- specifically, that the misery of being a cuckold makes the use of the term "cuck" unacceptable. Much to the contrary, I think that it makes the term /suitable/ for many situations -- situations that are, in some way, emotionally analogous. I'm hesitant to make this claim unequivocally -- I can see arguing that the mechanics of the use of the term "cuck" exceed mere metaphor in objectionable ways -- but I think that the ability to speak directly to emotional reality supersedes any such argument.

For the record, I'm not defending the alt-right in any capacity. They're loathsome fascists. And that's key -- the problem is the content of their positions, not the language in which they're expressed.
Not really a valid comparison. Flip phones basically do just one thing, which is make calls or SMS. Calls and texts are just a very minor part of what smartphones do. It's actually a little surprising we still call them smartphones at all. If you downgrade from a smartphone to a flipphone, you've lost an incredible amount of functionality.

Meanwhile, electric cars, while nicer in many ways than ICEs, still fundamentally perform the same task. And if you downgrade from an electric to an ICE, you haven't lost any functionality.
This essay validates my decision to never create a Facebook account in the first place. I understand that this is not the authors conclusion, but it is my conclusion from reading the essay. I do not want to be a part of that eco system.
That's definitely a problem in the limit. However, we are nowhere close to that limit: our economy now mostly consists of vertically-integrated monopolies and oligopolies. Just think about, say, Comcast, which is simultaneously the most hated firm in America and yet subject to neither government regulation nor market competition.

Among simple and easy slogans for solving our problems, "break them all up" is actually a pretty good one.
> Moving your community to another platform

A) the community does not belong to the golang team, the subreddit originally existed independently of the golang team. B) The community is not a piece of furniture to be moved at will; they have to choose to move.

If they do proceed with this (say they take a vote), the best they can hope for is fragmenting the community between Reddit and Voat or whatever.

No physical system is uniformly distributed, and dynamical systems ensure that it will stay that way, therefore enough differences are baked into the system that it's effectively impossible have equally functional systems everywhere.

Some people can just lift more stuff than others, or think about numbers faster or whatever happens to need to be done and their labor is more valuable because it's more efficient. Therefore inequality.

Comparing usage of the supercharger network to the total amount driven by the car in a year doesn't make much sense. You only need the supercharger network when going a long distance; otherwise, you can charge at home or perhaps at work.

>The big question is will the majority be able to maintain enough power to obtain income for those who aren't working, or will we see some kind of serious class warfare/starving populations?

We already have class warfare and mass hunger (the number of people who go partially hungry despite food-stamps and food banks is atrocious, let alone the number who would starve without such programs). The current answer from the lower classes has been the revival of organized labor among Fight for 15 and other movements. It's our job in the "higher" working class, having more education and leeway to operate, to throw out economic and political force behind both the social movements of the lower classes and behind "full unemployment" measures such as universal health-care and reduced working hours.

Hacked – Porn Accidentally Airs on CNN
Begging the question; economics is not a physical science where you can run A/B tests on an economy and find results. It's a social study, mostly. As someone who studied it for years, institutionally and on my own, I can tell you that economists do not agree on any basic laws except that people have a long list of wants and that not all of them can be satisfied.

Many economists are questioning their 101s lately. Look closely in the various journals and you'll see evidence of that, both explicitly and implicitly.

The thing is that NvS ratio has to increase in order to keep status quo....

Just a reminder that in California you can lease a Fiat 500e for $3500 down (only $2500 if you have any other lease already) and $49 per month.

Plus CA will give you $2500 back if you make under like 200k.

The lease ends up being like $0.12 per mile with taxes and fees.

It's not a great car or anything but it's a ridiculous deal.

> we're dealing with an economic system that isn't working.

Can you explain this statement further? North Korea and Venezuela's economic systems aren't working. America and most of Europe simply don't allow everyone to consume as much as they would prefer to consume.

It sounds like you mean "isn't working" in the sense of "an iPhone 5 isn't working as well as an iPhone 7", not "my car isn't working so I can't get to work."
That's a bit of a silly comparison. 'Economics 101' is not a hard-and-fast set of physical rules; if it were, we'd probably be doing a much better job of managing it!

But we should all keep in mind the "no shit really this time" EOL for python is 2020. http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/

Even if you say "well, it'll just be forked," you don't really know how many forks and pain there will be. Maybe python2 will be like LibreOffice, or maybe it will be like OpenOffice.

Like it or not, python3 is the future.
Secure personal cloud hosting?
Hi all,

I came across Sovereign [https://github.com/sovereign/sovereign] a while ago and was thinking of buying some VPS and deploying it: I like the idea of hosting all of my data (emails, documents, contacts, mostly) in one place, securely and completely in my control. Although I could deploy it myself, I then have to deal with keeping the infrastructure up to date and securing the VPS. Although I am reasonably competent at setting up a VPS, I would rather pay a dedicated, experienced sysadmin to maintain the setup.

What companies would people recommend for a secure all-in-one personal cloud solution? I would want email, document storage, calendar and contacts, and maybe a little web hosting or other niceties, and I would want open source software, everything encrypted (ideally decryption happens in the client but that's something to deal with for each protocol/application).

I think the bet is that over time China will become more-less a Western society, as the old guards slowly die off, and it's better for FB to have their foot in the door. I believe that is based on the progress theory, that all societies progress in time towards similar structure, and assumption the Western one is more progressive than the Chinese one. We will see if this works out; we can see there was a recent divergence in quite a few countries like Russia, Turkey etc. as well as internal strain in Western societies themselves. We can easily end up in an unstable chaos theory mode too.

>"work sets you free"

As a side note, recently there's been a drive to not normalize fascist slogans or ideas in mainstream politics. Among those, "arbeit macht frei" is a particularly offensive one, since it was written on the gates of Auschwitz.

Just saying. When someone quotes this kind of phrase to us, we should remind them where they got it from and refuse to treat it as normal.

>I'm unemployed and I really don't think I have any duties to work in fast food or to deliver pizza because I must contribute. If I decide I can live poor and be happy with welfare, I will. I think it's a great thing to be able to live a frugal life and still be healthy enough.

Good for you!

>I hear so many people yelling about moochers and parasites, it's becoming weird. Everybody wants everybody to behave like superman, yet nobody realizes you can't educate everyone to have enough qualified workers.

I don't think people want to acknowledge how much social capital goes into enabling us "supermen" who actually do work for high incomes. If all the roads get cracked and the trains break down, I'm going to be a less productive worker because I have a harder time getting to work.
How on earth is it even remotely misogynistic?

I think the "power wall" product by Tesla solves this.
Exactly. But when it's free, people do crazy things like queue for half an hour to charge at a supercharger even though they could easily charge at home. I think this is the primary motivation of the new rules, to restrict supercharger use to those actually needing it.
For the German trains, luckily there is plenty of hydrogen that is a waste product of existing chemical industry in Germany. In many places there is extra power from wind, solar, and hydro which is wasted when production is too high. So the idea is to use this excess power for hydrogen production.

Additionally hydrogen can use the existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure.

In times of high wind, there can be enough energy to power all of Europe/Japan in a few days. New types of turbines need to be put into production that can actually use this however. Current ones are shut down so they are not damaged. So far I'm only aware of prototypes, but it's being worked on.
What they understand, that you don't, is that arms are not the only means to resistance and that they are not a particularly effective one at that.

Furthermore they are watching the Black Lives Matter movement (which you apparently have never heard of) and how the 2nd Amendment Crowd (not all, but probably most) is responding by expressing their support for state violence.

Personally I'm not a fan of gun control (guns are overrated) but I also laugh at suggestions like yours in light of how subservient and ingratiating the 2nd Amendment zealots are towards the police and military.
Clearly their ability to lift is not why there are millions without clean drinking water, for example.

You are right that there are difference built-in to humanity, but we have already overcome those with fairly common technology already. Now inequality is more about who your parents were instead of where you are born or other purely physical problems.

We can ship drinking water to anyplace on the planet. We just aren't incentivized to do so. The person leading a team building the roads that will support that effort could be a wheelchair bound parapalegic.

Our systems don't need to be perfect they just need to be better than they are now.
> Land value tax

This has nothing to do with allocation of land. If you have a land value tax there'll still be property companies with shares and people who arbitrage them.

> state issuance of money via basic income

Again, nothing to do with arbitrage.

> No income tax. No sales tax or not much of one.

Not sure property tax will match income + sales tax, but again, nothing to do with arbitrage.

Look, I agree there are people with wealth who don't deserve it. But in my opinion, these are people with inherited wealth. Or the people who got wealth through ill-gotten means. Or the people who avoid taxes.

But the people who are in finance? By the time they die they're usually multi-millionaires, not billionaires. And the market as a mechanism is not fundamentally flawed - it just needs careful and judicious regulation.

Well a huge fraction of the world is still on shitty $20 keyboard phones that are technically running Android but are more like feature phones in terms of capability and specs. You can't really argue that those are descended from the iPhone in any meaningful way.
Problem with the "would be cheap for half the year" is that you would still have the capital costs of building the grid for 2x (actually you would need 4x the grid as the energy usage during winter is roughly 2x of the amount in summer in Finland) the use as you want to run your factory during the winter too. Even if solar is cheap I doubt it is that cheap to offset a capital cost like that.

Most of central Europe is a quite useless comparison for a place like Finland for energy production. The weather is just very different. ~2 hours of sunlight and -30 weather isn't that rare even in Helsinki (which is quite a bit father south then a good chunk of the country). Pretty much whole of Finland is outside of the "makes sense to build solar here" zone. I don't see that many people building big solar plants in Alaska so why would you in Finland (roughly the same latitude)

Australia has mostly been digging coal for export. It is quite natural that they would close mines if the demand internationally (mainly in Asia) goes down.

Hey Anchor, I'm https://github.com/CyrusNajmabadi a developer on the Roslyn team, and a primary developer around many of the new features Kasey demo'ed here.

You're definitely correct that many of these things have already appeared in Resharper. However, that wasn't the point of us building them. We invested in the Roslyn platform many years ago so that not only could we share and leverage code across all our languages, but so that other people could plug in as well to add the sorts of enhancements they would like.

Currently, We've moved C#, VB, TypeScript, JavaScript, and now Xaml, onto the Roslyn platform. Because of this (note that some of this is bleeding edge), not only can we all share a common infrastructure for things like Find-References, IntelliSense, and Refactoring, but 3rd parties can now plug in as well and add their own capabilities.

For example, all the refactorings we've offered are ones that others could have as well. We just happen to think that, over time, we should continually be improving the core set we provide so that you can get a highly capable and powerful experience out of the box without necessarily having to go install a lot of extra plugins. Of course, if you do find plugins (including resharper) that you find valuable, then we want you to def go out and enhance your experience with them.

I hope you get a chance to try this stuff out. As always, please file feedback/issues on github.com/dotnet/Roslyn

Thanks!

This Shopify data could definitely be used to gain an edge in trading their stock. You basically compute projected earnings based on the sales per-second rate reported on the site and compare against their earnings guidance from the previous quarter (or analyst predictions). If the projected earnings go below the projection, you sell, otherwise you buy.

That doesn't really account for the degree of inequality. Innate differences between human beings are the same in Sweden as they are in the USA, and yet Sweden has the lowest degree of inequality in the world (approximately), while the USA's numbers get listed alongside African dictatorships. The Swedes have just chosen to regularize away factors like family wealth or differences between school districts which create inequality but don't contribute to society positively in exchange. Americans are treating that statistical noise as meaningful information about "who deserves what" and conditioning on it.

The result is that Americans are just broadly doing worse, because our social system is irrational.
Agreed with the above, but also: in this world of "free" services (where the users are farmed like honeybees), voting with one's feet is about the only way to send a message that a company will actually listen to.

With Linux subsystem for Windows, Ubuntu, and other such systems, OSX isn't the big deal it once was. I have to restart it weekly to fix issues with software just not working right.

Sure, it could be worse, and I'm glad you have good luck with it; but it could be a hell of a lot better too. And it's not wrong to expect more when we spend so much money on our tools.
