I think the core premise of this article is flawed.

The trend we've actually seen is increasingly socialized risk. This applies to all areas of the economy, from the artificial demand for high risk mortgages to the allowance of a bank's arbitrary assets to be used as risk capital.

Also, congress has gutted the PBGC to the point where it is far from being actuarially sound. Social security and medicare are budgeted such that cuts are guaranteed, etc.

None of these are capitalist enterprises whatsoever. They are state-run markets with various ministers and officials dictating the prices and claiming to understand supply and demand better than markets, and allocating "welfare" to various interest groups (individuals and firms).

Note that nearly all justifications for the overreach in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis were welfare oriented. Prices stopped being an indication of supply and demand but were considered "good" or "bad" and government was called upon to help make prices "more good". This is profoundly dangerous, and has had significant consequences.

More recently, the ACA was passed which codified a massive redistribution of wealth from young to old.

The trends we're seeing emerge are things like credit being a right rather than a function of supply and demand for risk capital.

So soon we'll find that a job is a right, credit is a right, healthcare is a right, etc. The tough question about healthcare is not whether we should care for the sick and indigent, but what are the proper incentives for a healthcare system to have. Rather than addressing the real questions we got a simple wealth redistribution from young to old and from consumers to incumbent firms, an emerging class of Halliburtons of healthcare.

Both political parties lack any desire to exist in a capitalist society; both would rather make big promises and undertake massive projects that have no counterfactual data with which to judge their success or failure.

Trump has promised to continue the work done by Clinton and Bush and Obama to remove regulatory barriers to risk aggregation, which appeals strongly to firms now that we all know that regardless of whatever (arbitrary) underwriting requirements the law sets, the government will underwrite any losses that could result in insolvency. Employees of those firms stand to collect performance bonuses each quarter until the firm turns out (oops) to be over-leveraged.

The nice thing about socialism is that it is a simple ideology of preventing class power from emerging. What we have in the US today is a highly corrupt form of crony capitalism and public/private schemes designed to enrich specific firms and cronies. That there still exists any rhetoric that talks about capitalism, individualism, etc., is simply due to some politicians finding it useful to rally a small number of constituents, but it means nothing and has zero impact, other than to fuel articles like this that disparage it.
I missed where the article mentions the efficiency figure. Can you point me to it? I read it and looked for "30", "rail", "train", "fuel", "efficiency", etc.
GoPro shut down its entertainment division
Just my 2 cents...
At my last client they provided a computer for me, because they don't want foreign clients in their network. I got a MacPro with 32gb ram and lowest specs possible beside that. It was the first time i worked with the trash can and it blowed my mind from the first minutes. WTF is this 3 year old machine still fast. After this experience i understand why Apple seems to be so lazy here. I will not say _nobody_ needs more performance, but i think 90% of the self called pro users wouldn't notice a difference with an updated hardware. Under the consideration that the whole MacPro target is group is relatively small, it's completely understandable why this is not number one on Apple's priority list.
It's just a way for people with well paying STEM degrees and jobs to look down on people who make different life choices.
Well, the Korean War _was_ a UN sanctioned peace action. Mostly by accident, because the USSR was boycotting the UN for a few months there and so failed to veto the resolution.
Ya was actually trying to think some of it through. Maybe the 6 jams they narrowed it down to were the most popular so increased likelihood of noticing one they liked? Or does so many choices always cause angst, but if you were planning to buy anyway it won't stop you? Have actually done past work optimizing lineups of consumer goods products, and guys i worked with used to joke that it was a cycle where the product lineup would creep up over a few years, then every so often someone would come in and simplify the lineup down to 3 options, then would start creeping back up again.
Why are there complex MVC frameworks that run in the browser in the first place? I might get some flack for this, and I'm prepared for it, but why can't we use JS as just a view manipulator? Leave data processing and business logic to the back-end, on the server, and that can take care of needing a front-end framework and large app.
Huawei unveils RAT spectrum sharing service
I think you are wrong, and what you say does not follow from the links you provide.

There can be a loss in the ability of a society to organize stuff. Berlin is incapable to finish an airport, and a big reasons are batshit-crazy fire protection regulations which changed multiple times over the duration of the project (plus a bit of corruption, but in fact probably not the reason for the failure). In Stuttgart they are trying to construct a train station and are incapable to finish it with their budget and don't even have an idea why.

But: At least in Berlin, regulations are part of the problem. Safety regulations are also regulations. It is totally logical that costs for a project do rise when taking the proper safety measures. One can argue where the balance should be, but just saying "safety regulations are not a problem" when comparing the USA and a third-world country is pretty removed from reality.

I think we're both describing the real world. People can simultaneously be held responsible for their debts and be under-educated about debt, mislead by marketers, etc. The question is who pays when a borrower makes a mistake—the lender or the borrower.

If you label all borrowers who can't pay back their loans as "victims", wouldn't that make the practice of lending itself immoral? In your opinion, why not just outlaw lending completely and be done with it? That way no one can be taken advantage of.

FWIW, you can train most babies to accept cold or room temperature milk or formula by simply not offering it warmed. This saves a lot of parental effort of warming bottles, although the energy savings are minimal. Maybe refrigeration would be a better critical energy use? Storing milk (human or otherwise) safely is a big enabler.

A lot of pro audio users are doggedly sticking with the Mac Pro. Some of them don't want to lose billable hours by transitioning to Windows, others are locked in because of Logic Pro.

Pretty much everyone I know uses a rackmount kit to turn the Mac Pro into something resembling a proper workstation, with a Thunderbolt RAID array next to it in the rack. It seems absurd to me that a "pro" computer costing as much as a decent used car needs third-party accessories to be usable as a professional tool. That cute little trash can turns into an 8u monster when it's properly specced out.

The solution offered by Apple is to just daisy-chain everything off Thunderbolt, which is almost hilariously awful in practice. The supposed minimalism and elegance of the Mac Pro goes out of the window when there's a rat's nest of cabling hanging out of it. It turns out that PCIe slots and drive bays are a really neat way of expanding a computer.

Electronics from the 50s and 60s still can be used. You need to be gentle when powering them on to ensure the capacitors haven't reversed. My trick is to use a light bulb in series to the AC input to drop the voltage. As long as there doesn't appear to be a short, I keep swapping different wattage bulbs until it's running directly off the wall.
I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in the poster, but it's also perhaps worth noting that this came out of a survey, it wasn't just dreamed up by one person / a few people.

Aurelia is a really great framework, I just hope it gets more traction as others have recently. My first experience with frontend frameworks was Angular 1.x, but transitioning to Angular 2 just didn't feel right. I've also tried projects in React & Vue, but neither seem as well-rounded and feature-rich as Aurelia.

You're right in your assumptions of Aurelia, Angular 2, Ember all being opinionated, however I think the "opinions" are often different in Aurelia's approach. They are putting a strong emphasis on adopting existing and emerging web standards (their custom element/attribute stuff is all following the web components standard), which I can see helping to fight against the fatigue that lots of people face with the 'flavour of the month' framework, as it'll no longer be what a team of developers thought was best at the time and will be the opinions of a standardisation team that has no vested interest in the framework itself.
As a developer who writes software that does work that replaces the work of people, I've often wondered if my work is somehow pushing us toward the end of capitalism. I've also wondered what that end of capitalism and post capitalism will look like if and when it happens.

My hypothesis has been that while it would be nice to live in a world where we're free to spend more time with friends and family doing things that actually, actually getting there will be a long, messy, and painful process. Perhaps some of the upheaval we've seen in the Western world lately is part of that?

A lot of the recent anger and anti-establishment sentiment seems to be centered around jobs disappearing. That collective anger is easy to exploit - savvy leaders and politicians can direct it toward things like immigrants and outsourcing, because I think it is easier for people to conceptualize their job disappearing because another person took it, rather than disappearing because it was automated.

And I don't mean that as political criticism, or as criticism of people who are angry about lost jobs. I think it's rational to be angry about it, and it's rational and smart for politicians to address it.

It seems to me that the desire for cheaper labour is the ultimate cause of all of this, and that immigration and outsourcing are just transient proximate causes - hiring less expensive immigrants (legal or otherwise) or outsourcing to a low cost country are contributing factors right now, but they're becoming less so as technology becomes less expensive. I expect that trend to continue.

What I wonder is whether eventually, the collective anger about job loss will be increasingly directed at those of us (both people and companies) who are creating the technology that replaces human labour.

Yup. That's also why so many for-profit schools popped up.

> Is it right that I subsidize people more privileged than I?

Probably not, but considering that the forgiveness program the government is talking about mainly targets people with debt who can't pay it back - like people who are seriously disabled and can't get a job - you would likely be subsidizing people less privileged than you, which is a good thing.

> If and when they start making money can I expect a discount on their services?

No, but they're not making money now and they won't be in the future and that is why the government is considering discharging their loan debt.

> Will the Qubes Team be sharing a portion of their commercial profit with members of the Open Source Community who have previously contributed to Qubes OS?

As one of the people who has contributed code to Qubes, I don't see why they should do that. I didn't contribute out of hope of financial gain, and I doubt anyone else did. They should use the money to pay for further developments on Qubes, not to pay for work already done and given away for free.
Welcome to Apple post-Steve Jobs return. Apple smartly hasn't Osborne'd their products since then and the mood swings of some Apple fans is unlikely to change that.

>They've said and done nothing to support this market since the Mac Pro came out, therefore, it's reasonable to conclude they don't care about it.

Yes except for the fact that they continue to sell them. Apple hasn't also stated how long they'll continue to make and sell new iPhones for either.
hyperthreading != multithreading. He is saying, correctly, that the core doesn't have the resources to handle more than one thread per clock cycle (like for example server class CPUs can); but KNL has hyperthreading for the opposite reason: a single thread can't normally feed the core two new instructions every clock cycle, so you need more threads to keep the core busy on those clock cycles it would be otherwise stalled.

Although he dismisses it, he actually mentions the reason: 'perhaps [it is useful] for code that is limited by memory access, branch mispredictions, or long dependency chains': especially the first and the last are going to be common on code running on KNL.

> Compared to what? C? I'm not talking about C, but about any modern language.

The domain they tackle is personal computing, which means Kernel, Windowing system, remote communication (web/mail), multimedia… So, yeah: mostly C and C++, by the look of currently popular programs.

That said, much of the (apparently) needlessly complex stuff I have seen was written in C++, and it did look like they didn't have the real-time requirements or resources constraints that would justify the use of such a monster of a language.

> Or, at least, everybody (including me when I first saw them) says "this cannot possibly be this complicated", and after understanding them, everybody says, "oh, OK".

I have yet to reach the second stage. And on one occasion, I did reach a reasonable understanding of the whole system. It definitely had to be very complex to match the specification, but the specifications themselves didn't match the end user's needs.

> (or that, alternatively, waste is unavoidable)

That's the alternative I'm most scared of. I cannot comprehend unavoidable waste, but I can't rule it out either.

Alternatively, I've came across the idea of not solving some problems¹, because the return on investment is just crap. Okay, when safety is involved, you probably cannot do that. Still, the idea that the 80/20 rule is sometimes more like 99.9/0.1 is enticing. Sometimes, full automation is not best. For instance last I checked, the best Chess player ever is a human-computer team, not a computer.

Buy cheap, buy twice. Even if you get a good one, no-brand Chinese bulbs just don't last. They're badly engineered and use cast-off LED chips that nobody else wants. I made the mistake of buying some Chinese LED lamps for my utility rooms and outbuildings; they all died within 18 months.

Philips and Osram LED lamps just aren't that expensive. Cheaping out just isn't worth the hassle.

What's interesting to me, and shouldn't be surprising, is that there are domino-theory wars like Korea that at least the South Koreans feel benefited them, and then there are domino-theory wars that didn't really benefit people much. And there are UN-sanctioned things that turned out well, and then there are things like Libya. And the hard part is telling up front which situation you're in...

Note that I left off a _long_ list of US military involvement that could not possibly be considered to benefit anything other than maybe US expansion or US business interests. I just listed the ones that might have fit your criteria.

The matter in question is: who do you trust more? Your ISP or the VPN provider? The default should be that you don't trust your ISP, especially if you are in the UK. Hence, trusting a VPN provider is the lesser of two evils.

Will that protect your child-pornography-viewing? If you use Qubes OS, where you have a VPN on the host, then you use Whonix in a VM, where you use tor, then you are probably safe.

Are you a terrorist planning to destroy America? You are probably our of luck, but for the truly paranoid it could be achieved.

My advice: it is better to trust VPN providers in other countries than your own, just select decently (aka, not Hide my Ass). NEVER trust your ISP!

I'm a bit annoyed by this reaction... Basically the likes of Google and Facebook have been abusing it to translate their monopoly in mature markets into competitive advantage in emerging markets.
