> The question is why the capitalist not only receives the fruits of his own labour, but also the fruits of others' labour.

The capitalist receives some of the fruit of other's labor because the capitalist is not only supplying labor, but also supplying capital. And if the capitalist doesn't get paid, then he/she has no incentive to risk the capital in order to buy tools so the workers can be more productive. And then we're in a world where all that really counts is the labor invested in a product, but it's not a better world. We're all out in the fields, harvesting them with sickles, because nobody is willing to buy tractors.

Or put it this way: Here's a tool that makes workers more productive. Workers using that tool create more value than would be created by the same workers without that tool. That surplus value goes a few directions. Some of it goes to the workers. (Those workers are now worth more due to knowing how to use the tool, because their labor is more productive.) Some goes to the workers who made the tool. And some goes to the capitalist who puts up the money to buy the tool. You may consider this to be unjust, because the capitalist is getting paid for the labors of others. But the capitalist is also enabling the labors of others.

And even if you still consider the situation to be unjust, in the real world the capitalist needs to be rewarded, or nobody buys the tools. (Note well: I am saying that it is just that the capitalist gets some of the surplus value created by the use of the tools - not all of it.)

>Why are their costs so high if they can just host magnet links and cache the site with Varnish or something similar?

Just from personal experience, but here is my view of it.

A good search engine for millions of torrents costs several hundred a month. Scrapers to keep torrent seeders / leechers up to date cost another fifty to hundred (depending on how up to date you want your torrents). Now add in a few website servers and a load balancer for another hundred or two. You are looking at three to five hundred a month. Doesn't seem like a lot, but this is just a smallish torrent site. Isn't large enough to generate ad revenue or have enough donators to keep running. Maintaining that by yourself soon get's expensive unless you have a good job with plenty of disposable income.
Hope for some way of making sure Android doesn't turn into Windows XP (ie, millions of no longer supported devices connected to the internet).
Your question as asked has lots of reasonable answers, such as the fact humans aren't all that intelligent on average, and certainly not some asymptotic limit we're aiming for.

> How do real quant traders deal with this discrepancy?

A lot of it comes down to access to information and speed. All the major traders and quants have access to what effectively boil down to mailing lists (that their companies pay top dollar for) that have the best analysts in the world producing in-depth analysis on various topics[0]. Also, many/most have access to a Bloomberg terminal[1] to get the Bloomberg new feeds and the AIM clone, which costs $25,000/year/person.

This is why amateur day-trading is silly. You're not competing in a level playing field- they know more than you do.

Edit: tick data is usually collected over time, because data sources have different characteristics, and you should be testing over the same realtime data that you'll be using to trade live. You need to know the bid/ask prices and volumes, in order to know where to place limit orders. Otherwise you are just paying commissions and spreads to brokers and market makers.

> Then why did WannaCry even pose a threat?

In the case of entities like the NHS: Because many large organizations are locked into abusive contracts with IT providers that prevent them from upgrading past 2008-level software without exorbitant fees.

In the case of China, rampant pirated software that cannot be updated without revealing the fact that it was stolen.

The idea that this is a repercussion of "shoving Win10 down the throats of users" is just an incorrect and sour read of the situation. Win8 also got a security patch.

The idea that Microsoft is on the hook for the results of neglected machines, stolen machines, or machines under the rule of IT contractors that are trying to turn due diligence into profit is a very unfair one, by any standard. But even if you hold it, the solution would be a subscription-with-updates-model of software like windows 10.

I'm not going to defend Microsoft's missteps in Win10 marketing, or the occasional (and quickly retracted) ad shoved into the lockscreen. But I am trying to be absolutely fair when I point out that no Win10 machine at default configuration is vulnerable to WannaCry and Microsoft issued patches to supported versions of Windows as fast as anyone could expect them to.

Yep, this right here. You really need a good reason to choose an FPGA. The inherent throughput and a lot of stuff is incredibly powerful, but the development is much more involved. To me anything sufficiently nontrivial always feels building a house with Lego.
We don't adhere to the EWTD.

I think a UK doctor's hours are probably easier than a US doctor's but we all break the EWTD (except for some specialties like psychiatry). For example I am rostered to work an average 48 hours a week, although there are some weeks I work more, and I will often stay behind to get things done. My total hours per week is probably around 50 - and I'm in a job that isn't considered busy!

Thanks for explanation, Dan. My issue is that the switch to the 3.x SDK and moving my assets to Firebase hosting depleted 4 of my 'technical troubleshooting questions' (two of those were bug reports which seem to no longer deduct from the five-a-year limit).

So now I'm looking at a message telling me that 'for all urgent requests...you have 1 question remaining' and hoping that nothing bad happens more than once between now and whenever you decide to allow me, a paying customer, to ask for help again.

To make clear: 99.9% of the time Firebase just works, which is great. And when I did receive support, it was excellent. It's the support model that's weak. Making billing and bug reports unlimited while limiting urgent requests to five a year is poor policy, and not very useful - for your customers at least.

Proper labeling can be helpful, but the music/movie content regulators go a lot further than labeling in their restriction on content. Basically teens are forced to torrent content that seems obscene to christians until they are 18. This is a form of market regulation that seems more likely about pushing christian cultural homogeneity onto a group that can't politically object, than simply labeling what the content is.
Based on the Google I/O talk about actions/home/etc it is seems like they are speaking directly to Amazon. Clearly they aren't looking at Facebook, Apple, or Microsoft here. They have Alexa in their sights.

That said, I really hope they improve the hands free SMS interactions. My phone tells me I have a text and asks me to say 'listen' to hear it, but it doesn't start listening for the word until it beeps, so we enter into a staccato repeated 'listen' wait 'listen' wait then finally the text is read. Then after its read, it says "Say Ok to send a respond" not just "Would you like to respond?" where answering yes or no would be fine. It never vocalizes what special phrase you have to use to answer in the negative (if you're wondering it is 'cancel'). So here's hoping for a much better dialoging system.

What the user needs is not for Microsoft to improve Windows. At 15 new vulnerabilities a day (source: Microsoft) how can anyone argue with a straight-face that this is not a futile exercise?

What the user needs is choice. More choices of computers that do not have Windows pre-installed.

This monopoly is hurting consumers. It relies on a product that is grossly unfit for one specific area of usage: interfacing with an untrusted network, i.e., the internet. And Microsoft today requires a user to connect their Windows computer to the internet (for "updates" and "upgrades") lest the user be blamed for the product's own flaws when used in this way.

Windows should not be connected to the internet, ever. It is for the LAN only.
It doesn't matter whether or not they're greedy assholes (it's probably safe to assume they are). It only matters whether they're willing to invest. So a red flag is a red flag.

EDIT: Yes, Linux kernel slowly approaches point when gigabyte of source is a long gone story of a past. I doubt there anybody out there who can say they actually understand the whole of it. And this is probably bad for a lot of reasons, of which being not accessible to a beginner is one of the smallest concern.

EDIT2: Even more so for hardware which is harder to investigate under the hood and probably much less understood - when was the last time when you could claim to have inner mental model of your computer and software on it?
I don't think it's about suffering yesterday's problems to understand today's. Learning to program in C made me a better programmer because I had to watch out for memory, etc. I think a better analogy would be how even with modern animation software, great animators still recommend being able to draw well with pencil and paper ("lower level", slower) to develop a sense for the nuances of animation.

Google’s Home speaker can now make phone calls – The Verge
I agree that buses a terrible solution, but are definitely better than no public transit at all. Sadly, Seattle is almost entirely dependent on buses for public transit, although things are getting slightly better here with recent investments in light rail. Of course, the costs are astronomical and the most important parts of the project won't be complete for decades, so it's cold comfort for anyone currently stuck with a 7 mile, 1 hour commute by bus (or worse).

What's baffling to me is that, in addition to "real" light rail, Seattle is also building out a network of street-level trains. These trains barely carry more passengers than an articulated bus, are subject to the same traffic issues as the buses since they don't have a dedicated right of way, cost way more than adding bus lines, and their tracks create significant hazards for cyclists. I could be wrong, but it seems like this is an example of "buses = bad; trains = good" thinking gone awry.

I have to say... I don't understand what about Firebase's offering is SO killer or unique. I feel like it would be very easy to roll one's own custom 'Firebase.' I'm unsure as to why anyone would ever choose to predicate their businesses continued existence on another platform, especially one that can be replicated in like, an afternoon.
I think LA is an even better example of where it will work. There are no trains, and the bus system is very poor.

The tunnels obviously don't make sense in places that have well established train systems, but a lot of places don't have that. Often in America, the only 'practical' way to get around is using a personal vehicle.
A) Why is their bias relevant? Their business isn't writing opinion editorials, it's releasing secrets.

C) When asked which candidate he preferred Assange said that it's like choosing between Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

Lausanne recently took the smallest-city-with-a-subway title from Rennes, France (214k).

My family is from Lausanne and I spent a few months studying in Rennes–the size and density plus the metro system makes these cities really pleasingly 'human scaled' in my view. Walking-first center city areas with lots of restaurants/shops, easily accessed from less dense areas by metro+good bus systems+intercity train, but small enough overall to not feel sprawling.

For now it does, but there's an upcoming experimental alternative backend written in Rust. Furthermore, there's no reason that LLVM has to be written in C++, it was just the best choice available when LLVM got started 15 years ago.

I considered that, actually. When my kids told their friends what our plan was, they ALL said they wanted to do it too. However, a secondary goal of this project is to be a family thing.
