What you're describing is an instance of the knowledge problem or the economic calculation problem. Centralism (to which communism belongs) is good at many things -- including huge endeavours such as space travel or going to all-out war. The immense power unleashed during the two world wars was a major inspiration for centralism in the following decades, in the shape of trying to apply this power towards societal good, rather than destruction.

It even worked, in some form, for a bit. Millions of people were homeless or living in very poor conditions, they were relatively quickly re-housed in housing estates build on an unprecedented scale and with unprecedented speed.

But it didn't work at scale. While certainly better than not having anywhere to live at all, many of the housing estates were awful places, they simply weren't built to live in, they were almost militaristic "machines for living in" rather than "homes".

Which brings us back to the knowledge problem: All-out war has the ability to align almost everybody's interest in the same direction - crush the germans. Individual happiness, even liberty, is basically optional, because if you don't win the war, you will have neither happiness or liberty. With this knowledge, it's reasonably easy to organise the economy both on both the micro and macro levels: I need to mine ore for steel for tanks. I need to grow cabbage because we can't import food and cabbage has the highest calories-output per input (taste is not a factor). At every level, you can get a very reasonable approximation of the right course of action by consulting a very small set of shared objectives.

But in peace-time, things start falling apart. You no longer as a society have a short list of shared objectives, the best you can do is something vague like 'maximising happiness' (and even that is debatable). Even if you could identify a big, shared goal, and you might achieve it by suspending liberty, loosing their liberty will make people unhappy and so the means ends up mattering more than the ends (see: war on drugs).

How do you figure out whether growing cabbage or wheat or carrots or raising beef-cattle in such conditions? Different people prefers different kinds of houses, so do you farm trees for wood, mine coal and dig clay for bricks or whatever it is you do to make concrete? In both cases, you need some combination of all, depending on an extremely complex, inherently unknowable, continuously shifting combination of desires in the population -- and the formation of prices in a free market is perhaps not the best (for some value of 'best'), but it's the only known actually functional mechanism to communicate these desires.

Anyway, bottom line: I don't agree that centralised economic systems can even give people better horses, or better cars. If the need is clear and broad enough, it can give people a horse or a car, but it doesn't implement the feedback mechanisms required to continuously incrementally improve it outputs (cutely captured in this meme: http://9gag.com/gag/4298226).

Thanks for the reply, and let me just say that you take criticism really well.

I still disagree with the premise that the code is clean, beautiful or readable, but I could concede that this may be due to me not having an in-depth understanding of it.

You speak about a small code base being a metric for a simple code base, and while this is true sometimes, it starts to fail as a metric when the code is more obfuscated than concise. This is the kind of code I'd see in a webshell, not a compiler.

I'll try and make it to your live session if I can; I look forward to it.

P.S. I don't know if this was intended or not, but you really came across as trying to make everything seem more complicated than it actually is in the "sentence" where you went over the architecture. Dumping a load of complex-sounding words in a giant sentence just sounds as if you're trying to justify your design decisions by further obscuring understanding of the project. I'm fairly sure this isn't your intention since you are hosting a live session, but it's just how it looks. :P
I have switched carriers several times in the last 15 years, usually for data or pricing reasons.

I'm not atypical. It's easy to switch in the UK, easy to port your number, and people have little carrier loyalty. Switching home broadband is more of a pain, but switching cell carriers (or, rather, "mobile providers") takes a phone call and a day of questionable connectivity and that's it.
I would argue that the case that React makes for testability is abstracting DOM manipulation in a way that is highly testable.
I used it for a few months when it came out, then switched to Mate. My biggest problem was that for a lot of things that I wanted to change or configure, the official how-to was (paraphrased) "Actually, you don't want to configure that. We designed the system not to work that way." I decided to "vote with my feet".

The Movie database (TMDb) added yesterday (February 6th) Discussions functionality for each title (movie/TV show).

https://www.themoviedb.org/

You will find it in top left of the page next to poster under Discussions button with Bubble icon, so feel free leave IMDb which abandoned users and plan to delete their content.

You can return back to movie page by clicking on name of movie. Discussions have two categories - General, for general topics regarding movie, Content issues is self explanatory regarding content on main page.

Link from mobile view is currently NOT available, should be rolled out today accoding admin (Travis Bell) words. As temporary solution you can add "discuss" in the end of mobile URL.

I am not in any way affiliated with TMDb and registered there like 2 days ago when finding sad news that IMDb is going to delete my comments I wrote for 14 years and what's worse won't let me discuss movies with other movie fans.

After doing research of alternatives (Rotten Tomatoes, MetaCritic, Letterboxd, Trakt.tv and other) I consider TMDb the best alternative to move on with your ratings, watchlists and discussions, none of other sites mentioned earlier have proper discussions, only other alternativ are threaded comments at Trakt.tv.
Didn't see the Super Bowl, and can't comment on the technology used, but I've been looking into Xylobands, http://xylobands.com/, that have been used by Coldplay in some of their concerts.

Technically, that's a LED (monochrone, later they used multicolor LEDS) with a radio receiver. Radio transmitters were installed throughout the stadium, controlling specific LEDs to go one or off.

The description in the Worldly Philosophers is my main source: that in Das Kapital he flips between ranting and precise mathematical language quite sporadically.

It is my understanding that he was the first to predict economic cycles of boom and bust, too.
I've started offering a service like this[0] for React apps. The response so far has been really good, people love it!

It's exactly how you say it is, by spending some time identifying the biggest issues and then spending an hour with the team I can get them to rally around some easy fixes that'll be valuable for the business long-term.

Developers love it as their bosses finally understand the value of refactoring, and managers love it because they get actionable tips that'll help the business.

Making this a general platform would require a lot of good curation, but nothing impossible. Now you got me thinking…

Contraception. Almost everybody needs it. The current solution of flooding the body with hormones works, but causes side effects.

The pill for men won't make it. My prediction is that we'll have some other non-hormonal contraception within the next 20-30 years, probably invented by a startup that wants to disrupt this billion dollar market.
Here are my thoughts

1) Free p2p money transfers / gateway to bitcoin or other crypto-currency so that it's more widely adopted

2) Better open bank accounts - allowing open transparent accounting for organizations and companies

3) Solve democracy - better analytical tools for mass discussion, arguments and decision making which will encourage use of facts and science, and discourage politics

4) Human-Machine interfaces - memory augmentation

5) Solve the common cold and influenza

6) Robotics - better batteries, finer motors and sensors - possibly through the usage of biological systems

7) Public access to satellites - realtime security monitoring, crops analytics and forecasting

8) Solve weather or create private air-conditioned jackets ;)
Libraries are just part of the picture, then comes the location of files, init systems, lack of standard frameworks for all layers of a modern desktop.

On OS X, in spite of CUPS, I can use AppKit Printing API. On Linux I have to resort to somehow generate PS and forward into the printer driver.

Oh yeah, I think I did. It was worse in the cold, like if I walked into an air conditioned room. This was two years ago now though so I might be misremembering some symptoms.
When I see speed bumps/humps/ramps I sometimes think of all the effort that has lead to durable, smooth roads.

While these traffic calming methods no doubt work, a badly made road would also slow drivers down.

I'm tending to agree for the mass's at least, for me CDE was and still is a great desktop, least for somebody who just wants to pull up lots of terminals and have multi-desktop panels - just works. Simple, basic and sure lacks eye candy beyond Xeye's but then I own a lava lamp.

Yes mass basic users like their eye candy, and the diversity which is a strength in many area's is equally a weakness when it comes to desktops. GUI's and the overhead add so much in complications to code that if they keep changing then they tend to get ignored or badly utilized and that gives the user a mixed half-baked experience.

This and they tend to be the epitome of feature-creep.

It sounds like you have a misunderstanding of how the Fed manipulates the rate that banks lend to each other at. For a summary, the Fed tries to influence it by changing the rate that banks required reserves pay, but banks themselves negotiate the rate they lend to each other at.

I believe Elon Musk is playing (once again) the ultra-long game.

He is betting that the court system as well as Congress will limit Donald Trump and his cronies from doing something that is grounds for impeachment - and so Donald Trump will be in office for the entire term. Given this, it makes sense to be in a position that has at least a tiny bit of influence on Trump.

Amazon has a similar position: they need large amounts of (immigrant) labor for their warehouses, but also are extremely dependent on free trade, especially import tariffs. So, they're likely afraid of openly defying Donald Trump, because they fear that Trump could retaliate against them.

The other companies which are on the list (except Apple!) are a hard target for Trump as they do not depend on overseas goods import and thus cannot be hit by import tariffs - the only way to hit them is by deporting the foreign workers they already have, and the courts have shown they won't let pass deportations of legal immigrants. So, for these companies it's relatively easy to sign.
That sounds like an issue of transmission capacity and redundancy, not energy production.

I also read it as a kid and was highly influenced by it, especially the social and group dynamics in technology stuff. And yeah, it is dated, but I think it could still be a fun and interesting read now especially if you're interested in the history of the Internet.

This seems odd to me, living in Australia where alot of roads are asphalt I don't know how it would be cheaper to repair them like they do out here.

The just have a truck roll around and dump some more asphalt in the holes, tap it with the shovel and it usually fixes it up fine. If not they come around 6/12 months later and do it again.

With concrete, can you just drive by and drop some cement in the cracks and holes and move on? Don't you have to usually cut out parts, repave and block off the road for an amount of time?
I recently launched my third startup Elastic Byte (https://elasticbyte.net) a DevOps and cloud management company that offers simple monthly plans to design, build, and manage your cloud infrastructure. Pricing is transparent and upfront (which is rare for consulting/service companies) with no long-term contracts and no vendor lock-in.

We specialize in AWS and Google Cloud, and can help with simple LAMP/MEAN stacks all the way to complex multi-region microservice architectures using Terraform, containerization, Kubernetes and beyond.

I've personally seen that in the Manhattan market, wouldn't be surprised to see in the SF market, but as user unimpressive noted, no structured development catering to your use case. Even in Japan where capsule hotels have been common for a long time, I found this 2010 NYT article describing how long-term usage is still not widely adopted back then (don't know about now). [1] The value isn't very good, either.

The Hong Kong housing market has more experience with long-term residents of ultra-small housing, but either the optics or value aren't good. [2]

Lots of situations popping up evocative of immigrants with loads of Millenials/people cramming into a single dwelling to hit around your number are leading to more municipal occupancy ordinances around the country aimed at curbing that. Boulder, CO had an interesting civic interaction between these "illegal co-ops" and NIMBY's last year, and the co-ops got terms they could live with.

I can imagine very stiff resistance to any solution in the US from NIMBY landowners, but the numbers would be interesting to work out to see if your $200 USD price point can be sustainably hit in a top 40 US MSA. Factors you didn't mention I'm curious about, did you envision paying $200 USD per month:

* ...and be able to lock your belongings in the bed/capsule while you are away?

* ...and use a communal group (i.e., not private) shower?

* ...and have no kitchen or even refrigerator/freezer included in rent?

* ...and have no noise abatement like described in the NYT article?

* ...and have no control over HVAC?

* ...and access to only rate-limited WiFi (but LTE/5G signals and paid upgrades available)?

* ...and not be able to bring non-paying visitors (also, those visitors you do bring have to be same gender)?

* ...and have no parking (unless paid for)?

* ...and cannot smoke or drink on premises?

* ...and use a laundromat next door or on premises?

* ...and be able to eat in a communal dining room?

* ...and use your own towels?

Details, details....

I did a run at the (amateur) math off Google Finance and Crunchbase. With some companies I couldn't find's numbers outright omitted, and using old valuations, I totaled those corps filing as valued at
$2.58 trillion in market cap., at least $131 billion of valuation and another $8 billion in investments in un-valuated companies. Assuming those investments hold value at least equal to the total worth of those companies in sum, we can reasonably assume the companies party to this brief represent value of at least 16% of US GDP.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y0VtAf9OpjwU7Haf4dHY...

in case anyone else was wondering

EDIT: indeed it is > 15% even including only the publicly traded companies, for which the numbers of can be considered less speculative

And this is exactly why net neutrality is an enormous issue in the United States: Typically we only have one local broadband carrier. Two if you are exceptionally lucky. And the local ISP monopoly is often run by fucking Comcast or Time Warner Cable ("now called Spectrum"), two of the worst companies on this planet. Net neutrality is an enormous issue for Americans.

I had the same thoughts for the Contract Economy for quite a while.

I'm on a "Startup break", and started a Service Firm. While working with clients, we realized the need to serve a rather underserved section of projects, which are high enough for individual freelancers or even a small team but too low for established agencies - the $100,000 to $1M projects.

We're experimenting with some of our clients and their connections, to work with our service/marketplace where we manage the project end-to-end to make sure it is done, with other vetted teams of designers and developers. It is not 'cheap' but much more economical than traditional Agencies.

We're Beta Testing it with a small set of clients for now. For those curious, we have a sign-up page at http://www.worksigma.com/
