> the means of production naturally belong to all humans collectively

I don't think anything "naturally" belongs to anyone. The whole notion of property and its ownership does not exist in nature - it's a social construct. So it's up to us to figure out the arrangement that works best, depending on our definition of "best". That is also inherently subjective - some people would claim that it's best for property rights to be absolute and inviolable, as a guarantee of stability, for example.

I think that long-term, some form of collective ownership is the only way to stabilize. But I don't know what form it would take. I doubt it would be anything similar to self-proclaimed socialist states of our age, which have clearly failed in that regard (indeed, many lefties argue that they don't actually have society-wide collective property ownership, but instead it's the collective ownership by the ruling bureaucratic elites - "the Party" etc - excluding your average citizen).

> being born entitles you to be kept alive by the rest of your species

We're clearly heading in this direction. In fact, I would even say that first world societies have already adopted this maxim in fullest, it's just not worded quite so bluntly. If you go around and ask people this exact question, many would probably say "no". But if you go around and ask the same people about specific policies like free healthcare, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, ER not allowed to turn people away etc, that all add up to the same thing, you'll find a lot of people in favor.

> resources should be allocated based on need

This follows from the previous point, with the caveat that the "need" here is not some arbitrary subjective desire, but what's deemed to be a real need by social consensus. What this consensus is, exactly, will likely evolve over time - today we mostly talk about food, shelter and healthcare, but we're already starting to discuss e.g. access to Internet as a basic right. The logical conclusion to that is something like what Bujold described in "Barrayar":

“Poor?” said Cordelia, bewildered. “No electricity? How can it be on the com network?”

“It’s not, of course,” answered Vorkosigan.

“Then how can anybody get their schooling?”

“They don’t.”

Cordelia stared. “I don’t understand. How do they get their jobs?”

“A few escape to the Service. The rest prey on each other, mostly.” Vorkosigan regarded her face uneasily. “Have you no poverty on Beta Colony?”

“Poverty? Well, some people have more money than others, of course, but . . . no comconsoles?”

Vorkosigan was diverted from his interrogation. “Is not owning a comconsole the lowest standard of living you can imagine?” he said in wonder.

I have worked on a lot of Amazon accounts and I even do a fair amount of retail arbitrage from TJ Maxx / JC Penney -> Amazon both online and in-store. Given that the bulk of my income either comes directly from Amazon sales or indirectly through consulting for Amazon sellers you would think that I would be in the ra-ra-ra-Amazon-will-annihilate-traditional-retail camp.

The big advantage that discount retailers like those have for shoppers over Amazon is price and being able to physically inspect merchandise before you buy it. The selection of certain brands is also often better at the physical retail stores.

The fact that you can make > 75% profit margins per unit in some categories flipping from discount retail to Amazon FBA demonstrates the advantage that these retailers have over Amazon. Amazon's fee structure also makes it so that certain price points are just about never going to be profitable for Amazon unless fees go down -- and fees have been going up quite substantially.

If you want good prices, you should not shop at Amazon - you should shop at a physical retailer.

So, Amazon has some issues with its model especially in categories like apparel that make it a pain to earn continual profits from. I prefer to sell men's to women's apparel for example because women return products for fit reasons at much higher rates as compared to men. Fitting measurements for women are also much less standardized because there's a lot of variance in female body shape. A return on Amazon is more costly to a seller than it is to a physical retailer.

Also, JC Penney generally has a minimum quality standard and often really impressive prices per unit that Amazon's fee structure makes it impossible to beat. You are not going to profit from selling a $7 polo shirt on Amazon unless the quality is awful and maybe if Amazon is buying it from you as a vendor. If you buy a $7 polo from JC Penney the quality might actually be great and JCP will earn a profit.

I have different opinions about Macy's because they generally do not have a price advantage. There is really no benefit to buying stuff at Macy's unless you really want the name brands and you don't mind paying a higher price. For a certain kind of shopper, that's what they want and that's what they'll get from Macy's.

This article is just as cherry picked as some of the 'death-of-the-mall' stories are. I could do a similar cherry picking locally by comparing one successful shopping complex about 30 miles distant from another one that is failing. Depending on which direction I drove I could tell a different speculative story about the future of the mall in small town America.

A lot of what is missed in the retail discussion is that while online retail is where a lot of the growth is, physical retail is where the bulk of the transactions still happen in the US. There is a limit to how much of that Amazon can 'eat.' Some if it is regulatory: in the latest issue of Total Retail, two of the biggest online sellers in 2016 were Walgreens and CVS. That's 'cause of online prescription pickup. If Amazon did go into that business -- as it might -- then the picture might start to look significantly different.

That's a great solution if you're a US citizen and want to enjoy showing off to a border guard before being guaranteed entry, but for migrants (who are most affected by this), this kind of 'gotcha' logic would likely be considered insubordinate grandstanding, and get them denied entry.

You're changing the subject. You said:

> that no actual user of the software has? It's not an iphone, it isn't meant for use by the general public.

You're obviously wrong.

Millions of users of the software have that problem. It is used by the general public. It's irrelevant whether they intended to be users of the software or not. No one decides on a distro based on the default text editor, and some people are still learning how to use nix and won't know to change it right away.

Plus, from vim.org:

> It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files.*

Sounds like vim is for use by the general public to me. It just isn't very good at usability.

In the law, intent matters. You're deleting the data with the intent to hide it from border agents. A federal prosecutor absolutely could argue that, if they wished.

Anecdote, but my experience with Apple has been the complete opposite.
"A lot" is going to be a mighty big number in this case, though. In some networks it will surely be prohibitively large. But even if the latency is predictable enough for that not to be the case, what real world system is going to let someone make that many failed authentication requests without doing something about it? You might be better just trying to brute force it.

The trouble with hypothetical security questions is that it's so difficult to conceive a scenario where you have a deliberate vulnerability that you want someone to see, yet no other implausible aspects that will throw off anyone capable of seeing it. I am reminded of a murder mystery party I once went to with a group of mathematicians, programmers, and other logical people. When we got to the end of the evening and the true murderer was revealed, I think the majority of the participants had long ago ruled out that suspect on the basis of one of several subtle deductions from the clues provided, none of which had apparently been intended or considered by the authors of the scenario. Instead we were supposed to have ignored all the minor inconsistencies in clues and ambiguities in phrasing, and just gone for the person with the flashing neon sign over their head in the first place...
This is a nice feature, but ultimately if you are concerned with border agents requiring a phone search then you should just backup and install a fresh OS before traveling, then restore when you get back. Log into the minimal number of apps after you've entered the destination country, and optionally delete/logout of said apps prior to return travel if the return border crossing is also a concern. Admittedly if you use a password manager you might need still want to make use of a feature such as the one in this article, or install the password manager app after entering the country, or just write down the passwords that you will need and hide them somewhere unfindable with your stuff.

Not clear you're destroying evidence -- is it evidence if there's no probable cause for the search? If a crime hasn't been committed?

Hard to apply ordinary statutes & case law here because the 4th amendment doesn't seem to apply to border agents.
Is it evidence at the point where, say, a CBP agent asks you to show him your data? I mean, they're not a judge, and it's not a trial, or even an investigation into some crime.

> There's also a kind of signaling by people who are rich enough not to care about these things and dress accordingly, which is a way of reminding other people that you have so much money you don't care about what impression you make. This only works when people already know you're wealthy, though.

Fussell notes this in his Class. The group he categorizes as "top out-of-sight" (mostly old money) is genuinely beyond caring about appearances and are where you get a lot of "eccentric" rich-person behavior like wearing really cheap clothes. Upper-class folks, especially younger ones, may very carefully and deliberately dress way down, especially when traveling (for some reason), though they will not, and will not intend to, actually blend in.

Separately but somewhat relatedly, he claims that higher classes will tend to buy unexceptional things where spending more is seen as primarily a status signaling thing, and especially when the thing is in any way technological—so buying a flashy, expensive, new car belongs to the sensibilities of the upper-middle classes and lower (regardless of their income—talking about socialized class, not income) while the comfortably rich might just own a beat-up Chevy, or an old luxury car.

Where you do not see people do it is when there's a risk they might actually be mistaken for belonging to any part of Fussell's "prole" category—so, upper-middle and, especially, middle.

I don't think Vetements is a fair comparison though as they're based around that sort of hype and designer fashion. There's really no reason for such high prices aside from exclusivity and who the designers are. If some people like that, that's fine, but they're not being bought specifically for quality and looks you can't find elsewhere.

While it is a policy issue at its core, changing law and policy moves at a glacial pace, and it's not even a certainty that it'll get changed at all (the "nothing to hide" defense gets brought up a lot on these matters, and it's a pretty persuasive argument to those that can't recognize the fallacy). Technical solutions have the benefit of being much quicker to enact, albeit in a flawed way that is, if highly successful, a band-aid on a bullet wound.

Of course they wouldn't. The poorest 5% of Americans are still wealthier than 68% of the world. [1] It makes little sense for even an unemployed person on welfare or disability to do this job rather than cash a welfare check.

Answer no, and it's just as valid as if you had a hand-written notebook full of work-related records that you left in your office back home before traveling. There aren't any reasonable justifications for requiring you to bring all information you physically have access to you with you when traveling, regardless of the format it's stored in.

Not bringing something with you is inherently different from hiding it.
