The ECP proposed by Mises isn't very strong, Paul Cockshott tries to deal with it in his work (attempting to show that it's not even a problem for central planning), and it largely ignores things like market socialism or decentralised planning.

I wish this were more well known, because the ECP is touted as some eternal show stopper for Socialism, when it's really not. It's based on a few false premises.

Read the report and you'll find out Tesla frequently has to update its numbers after the fact. So, yes Q1 2017 might look good NOW but in 3 months after injuries manifest and other claims come in (IBNR), it could turn to total shit. Tesla wants you to forget they frequently have to raise their numbers after the fact.

So, if history is any indicator, Tesla should shut its trap until it has a full year, after revisions, that show it's genuinely superior. Oh, I made myself laugh.

Modern JS is pretty fast yeah, but I still don't think it rivals Objective-C does it? If we stipulate it's 1/2 as fast as Swift, it's still much faster than v8 on the benchmarks game [1]. Can you be trickier with JS code than those toy programs are?

[1] http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/compare.php?lan...
Very funny. Thanks. I had to smile.
Answer 1: Yes but they're not exactly analogous and I don't see them merging. Yarn is a complete rewrite, and the compatibility "surface area" is much lower than Node itself so there's not much pressure for them to merge. Yarn has been working essentially flawlessly for me, so npm-cli is really going to have to surpass yarn in some way for me to switch back.

Answer 2: I don't use global packages often. For binaries I generally add a "scripts" entry to package.json for common tasks, which automatically adds "./node_modules/.bin" to the PATH. For one-off tasks I just run "./node_modules/.bin/executable"

Well, Uber has some kind of agreement to defend Levandowski. And he's an employee. But no, Uber doesn't want Levandowski to be Uber. That would make Uber responsible for the theft of documents from Waymo, and fully in possession of the contents. That is not a position that Uber wants to be in...

Did I miss the thread where we are gonna discuss the actual issue addressed by Comcastroturf, that someone (maybe not Comcast, I'll concede) is spamming a gazillion comments using actual peoples' names and they are totally not legitimate?

I am not on the list, but I looked up 7 members of my family and four of them are, several of them showing up more than once. Including my 3-year-old nephew, who I am sure is very smart but definitely did not submit comments to the FCC in support of repealing Net Neutrality. (And if he did, he would not use wording identical to hundreds of thousands of other commenters. /totallynotrobots/)

Maybe there's nothing actually novel or surprising to discuss in it there, but I feel like covering the issue this way is absolutely burying the lede a bit.
When I was about 14 or 15 my first exposure to different schools of social organisation was Fresco, I found him through the Zeitgeist documentary (which I was foolish enough to believe in conspiracies with). I then looked at the Venus project and various of his videos and interviews on Youtube. He seemed like a great man, and although I think his ideas didn't put much into action, I really admired them. For the past 8 years or so he had passed out of my mind, I barely thought of the Venus Project, and it was surprising and saddening to read this news.

RIP Fresco.
And you are totally ignoring all other points of the response. I'd be interested on a source for the Lasers, early TV work predates the soviet union, later work doesn't seem to have happened there.
Well, I'm from the UK and I've heard it repeated often enough that Calder Hall was the first nuclear plant to generate power - so I did a search to confirm it and found that wiki page.

It's actually quite interesting that the Soviets had an earlier one - I guess the page should be updated?
Unfortunately no. All we have right now is the highest "levels of confidence" from our major intelligence agencies with their belief that Russian-promoted hacking agencies hacked the DNC, and released that information to wikileaks in order to make Hillary look worse.

The caveat is that they aren't disclosing the methods by which they came to this conclusion, so we can't know 100% for sure. It's dependent on our belief in our intelligence agencies to be acting independently and presenting true, unbiased information.

Full-disclosure, I voted for Johnson, and while I am sympathetic to the leaks, had the DNC not been doing shady stuff, there wouldn't have been anything to leak. That being said, I personally believe in our intelligence agencies, so I think it's reasonable to believe that Russians were involved in the U.S. elections. But I hold the DNC more accountable for their loss than the Russians.

I have a friend who's into alternative history and conspiracy theories. Our discussions so far come to the point of how hard it is to have an objective criteria for correctness. Right now many people can choose beliefs and afford to stick to them even if they aren't supported by reality - because that doesn't affect them much.

In a way, my answer to your question is "it depends". For somebody with "good enough" criteria of correctness I can provide examples.

Your reference to SCT here seems weird.

[Anybody following at home: SCTs are signed timestamps proving a particular Certificate Transparency log server logged this certificate's details at a moment in time. These log servers are public proof of what certificates should exist. The cryptography behind the log servers makes it impossible for them to lie about what they know beyond a certain horizon, policy today sets that horizon at 24 hours]

Today the only thing any browser (Chrome) does with SCT by default is to verify whether valid (properly signed) SCTs are provided for certain certificates. This doesn't result in any additional connections, although if OCSP is needed already the SCTs might optionally be included with OCSP.

Eventually browsers will be able to automatically report information to detect any discrepancies (e.g. where a log is telling different things to different people), but today that's something which exists only in prototype, not as a default feature in production web browsers ordinary people use every day.
browsers implement cross domain origin policy to prevent js from accessing the local filesystem. Or did I misunderstand the nature of the Windows bug. It must be trying to read from file:// right?
After years of using Sublime without licence I've looked at my paycheck and I realised that probably 80% of it was earned while being in Sublime Text.

I would also encourage _not_ to use anything else beside Vue-Router and Vuex at first. Most Vue components found on Github are just simple wrappers for already existing modules. In my experience, most components look easy at first but end up being a hassle when you try to get it right in the details (looking at pretty much every JS framework Bootstrap wrapper here). Try writing your own directive or component, it's not hard, you'll learn a lot and I think you'll even be faster.

> Which is when US managers work for European based companies this causes issues if they don't adapt.

This is such an important idea that Ireland advertises it as a perk of doing business there. In addition to tax breaks and all their other incentives, the government works hard to promote Ireland as a "stepping stone" to European business. EU rules, Eurozone finances, with an intermediate, English-speaking culture to help get past the pain points of leaving the US.

It sounded a bit silly to me at first, but on reflection I'll bet it's a pretty good move. Picking up a bad reputation in a new market is hard to recover from, and I expect a successful move to Europe would require either careful planning or a totally autonomous branch.

> Lisp was invented by the guy who coined the term AI, not for AI.

Lisp was designed for AI programming.

http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/recursive/node1.html

> A programming system called LISP (for LISt Processor) has been developed for the IBM 704 computer by the Artificial Intelligence group at M.I.T. The system was designed to facilitate experiments with a proposed system called the Advice Taker, whereby a machine could be instructed to handle declarative as well as imperative sentences and could exhibit ``common sense'' in carrying out its instructions. The original proposal [1] for the Advice Taker was made in November 1958. The main requirement was a programming system for manipulating expressions representing formalized declarative and imperative sentences so that the Advice Taker system could make deductions.

So it was designed for the 'Advice Talker'. The AI domains were natural language processing and common sense reasoning.

It's worth noting that Fresco wasn't a Marxist, and the Venus Project has tried to distance itself from the Marxists. It's also worth noting that a Communist society as Marx envisioned it takes great advantage of automation anyway, but rather than being used to cut costs in the short term, it's used so that people have to work less on the whole, leaving more time for intellectual fulfillment.

And please let's not pretend that Marxian economists are economically illiterate, which seems to be the point you're making.

Everest is a mole hill compared to Mauna Kea- or Olympus Mons.

Is it really the experience, counting for itself, that those climbers claim to seek? I doubt that. Its about belonging to a exclusive club, either by paying or by having some attribute. And of course, everyone is in it for having the attribute, not the money.

If it really was about the experience, why not just ignore somebody who was never there? Respect comes to those who do incredible things, not regarding what other humans might think about it or consider of this accomplishment. Thus respect is rare.

We are releasing updated desktop & command line app on Tuesday with support for the protocol, as defined in the paper. I'd recommend checking back then (though some, such as CLI, are released already on npm).

Your points are spot on and things we've been thinking a lot about. I also wouldn't feel comfortable putting a Dat link in a paper yet, but that is an eventual goal because of the persistence properties of dat compared to http urls.

> Maybe Dat plus Zenodo could do the trick eventually.

Yes, exactly!! Dat supports http publishing right now, so you can run `dat sync --http` on a server and it'll live publish files from the source to an http site.

We are working on also supporting http downloads. The idea is you publish to Zenodo, including the SLEEP metadata, dat can then clone the files over http (including content verification) or via the peer network, i.e. `dat clone zenodo.org/record/439922`.

We are super excited for the http downloading because it'll allow dat to store files on any data repository with a good api and a http file backend. We've been talking with the Dataverse folks on how to accomplish this there and have an eye on others such as Zenodo.

> Property rights certainly requires central calculation and coersion, too.

Property rights also have dubious origins, and the concept deserves to be questioned, along the lines of asking what right does one man have to appropriate a certain piece of land and defend it with violence? And what of the concept of rights in general?

If one wants an alternative view of the concept of property versus possession, it's worth reading Proudhon's What Is Property?, which is a thrilling and informative read of the anarchist view, despite being a 19th century work.

People complain about the parens in Lisp but what kills me about Lisp in general is not the parens but the fact your brains has to read the code from bottom to top and/or right to left. This is because of prefix notation.

And while I do not like object oriented languages its far more natural to English readers such as myself to write and read things from top to bottom and left to write.

Now of course some FP languages have operators to (Haskell, F#) to allow left to right function application and you could of course make macros in Lisp in whole it doesn't really fix the problem entirely.

You can also of course mitigate the above with judicious use of let expressions but more often than not people inline anyway.

I've driven plenty in both the US and Germany and the road etiquette in Germany is light years ahead of the US.

If I choose to drive 120/130 on the autobahn I have a much higher chance of doing so continually than if I choose to drive 75 Mph on an Interstate highway in the US.

I'll give you my anecdotal evidence from last year's trip to Germany. I took a ~550 km trip, and while I don't have actual GPS data from my trip on hand, I do remember that I was able to drive roughly one third of the way in sections with no speed limit and no traffic/construction.

For 2/3 of the way my average speed (including traffic and construction) was 122, so that took 3 hours. For the rest (1/3) of the way I was able to travel with unlimited speed. Traveling 183 km at 183 km/h (average) vs. 122 km/h saved 30 minutes of my trip.
I am actually really curious about this issue. They use a trademarked name in their URL and you are saying this is not a violation? Is that actually true? I'm trying to find some supporting docs on this.

The other day I was being cheeky and went to notreddit.com (it's owned by reddit and redirects to /r/redditalternatives) but if someone wanted to simply clone reddit (open source) and use that URL instead of something like voat.co, etc, that would be perfectly fine?

Then there are cases of direct name URLS like nissan.com of Nissan Computers which existed for a very long time before Nissan the car company had a web presence. They have been in litigation[0] back and forth for years and now Nissan the car company is attempting to do a federal trademark that would cover "...computers and computer peripherals among other classes of goods and services."

Interesting cases. Anyone else have any further thoughts?
