You could say the say about renting vs buying houses, and yet many people still buy. The only reason a rental service is funded is because investors think they can make more money than by selling mortgages. This will continue to be true for cars.
Not true, actually. The Google Tech Corners office in Sunnyvale sits directly adjacent to a light rail stop.

Transferring IP you worked on while on a visa to a business you own while you're still on the same visa is an area I wouldn't play around with.

> iOS is now ten years old with no major malware outbreaks -- it can obviously be done

If even a company with $200B in ready cash on hand, humongous design and manufacturing resources, and full control at every part of the vertical stack can't make a general purpose operating system with these values, what hope do the rest of us have? iOS is extremely limited in what it allows you to do. If it isn't, then how come macbooks still sell?

I've been a tutor at the tertiary level before. Some people just can't be fucked putting in any effort to get what they want. Fuck them; they get to be called incompetent - don't shift the blame. If someone could barely drive a car and smashed it into every tenth lamppost, you'd call them an incompetent driver. Or another example: I can't cook for shit. I can follow a recipe, but it's not going to be very well done. But you would never make the argument that it's the recipe-writer's fault that I couldn't make a good souffle.

It's reasonable to expect users to meet developers at least partway here; reasonable to expect some learning curve for an incredibly complex, capable device.
How to Find Fantastic Authentic Jerseys on Sale
State creates monopolies by stopping free actors to enter the market by:

- IP rights

- Protectionism, tariffs, Quotas etc.

- Exclusive rights and laws generated by Lobbying

- Unnecessary Licenses and regulations (often with public health excuses)

- Uneven Taxation

- State ownership of production

Surely all capitalists desire to be a monopoly, but free markets is the only power to stop them.

On the actual subject, the game "Monopoly" implies Capitalism, but to me it is just a game.

The odd post requests I noticed to uaswitcher.org in wireshark while I was trying to create a packet capture. I saw that it contained my browsing history urls in double encoded base64 format. Interestingly it appears the extension was infected ~4 years back, taken down, and somehow later re-added, only to be reinfested with malware within the last few months. Suffice to say, I am now paranoid and have audited all my extensions, tossed out everything with obfuscated js, and run all my extensions in developer mode so I can be sure they never update without my consent.

So Linux has no value? GCC has no value? You seem to be arguing software only creates value because there are patents artificially protecting it, when in fact, many proponents of patent reform argue that by eliminating software patents even more value could be created "out of thin air".

Also, software patents do not prevent you from releasing open source software; you can have a patent and release the source of your implementation. They are not related at all.
Aside from the form, I also wonder about the distance. Is it healthy to run long distances at a constant heartrate vs interval training?

As described in an article linked in the one posted, humans seem to have evolved to run long distances [1]. I wonder how we could reconcile that with the fact that long distance running at constant pace seems to be bad for our hearts [2].

1.) SIDS still occurs at a rate of around 0.5 in 1000 in the Western world [1]. To compare, the probability of death in a traffic related accident over an 80 year lifespan is 0.85 in 1000 in the US. So it's still far from negligible.

2.) Sprott has at least a hypothesis to explain the correlation between back sleeping and decline in SIDS. His skeptics on the other hand have no explanation for why there is no confirmed case of SIDS for wrapped mattresses, other than it being a statistical fluke. That may be the case, but why is no-one investigating?

3.) Compare the SIDS rate of Japan and Asian Americans to Europe / European Americans. Why has it always been lower? Genetic prevalence? Bedding culture? It seems simple enough to do much more statistical studies on this, but when searching for it there seems to be a very low depth of knowledge.

To put it differently, what you're saying is quite close to "hey, we've figured out traffic related deaths, and it's all solved with safety belts and air bags, case closed, QED". Calling something quacky because of the journal is nothing more than an ad hominem fallacy. If someone's research stands on its own then it doesn't matter where it's published, it could as well be Arxiv - if not, then it should be easy enough to disprove based on facts.

once when I was working support, I needed a client to read back to me the contents of an error box - it could only be one of two boxes. She said the content was something else ("the files are corrupt"), which wouldn't happen in that part of the workflow (and wouldn't make sense at that point anyway). I got her to read back the error dialogue word-by-word. She still just made it up ("the. files. are. corrupt."). It wasn't until I got her to read out the error message letter by letter that I found out what it actually said and was able to help her...

This reminds me of a story I like to share. You can have the short version.

I touched my first computer in the early seventies. It was from HP, took punch cards, mag strip cards, keyed entry, and could output to a plotter, tv, or LED. It was horrible. I hated it.

Late seventies, early eighties, I now have to use a terminally connected computer and have a computer at home that required additional memory, just to use lowercase letters. It was horrible. I hated it.

Late eighties, it hasn't improved. No, no it has not. I still have to dance a strange dance and wait for my work to be completed. Usually, that meant waiting for my work to be completed in another part of the university. If I wanted to search the 'net, those searches went out to people - who'd send me an answer back in as long as 72 hours. It was horrible. I hated it.

I pretty much hated computers until the 2000s. Oh, I used the Infernal Beasts of Spite and Retribution - but it was adversarial. We're on friendly terms, more like old enemies too tired to continue fighting but with mutual respect.

I don't like programming, tweaking, or fixing. I will, but I don't like it. In fact, I use Linux because she's a familiar beast and I pretty much don't ever have to screw with it. It does what I want and stays the hell out of my way.

That's the short version. It usually contains more details and a whole lot more vulgarities. As a parting comment, it has been wonderful to live through these changes and advancements.
You didn't offer anything concrete on why it doesn't have deterrent effect. Your entire argument seems to be based on the assumption that _all_ parents care about their children, sadly we all know this is not true.

Ive wondered in estimation how much of "my" data is stored in various types of memory. CPU cache if I am actively browsing a website, those last couple IMs stored in the RAM of some server? Any content i have ever uploaded to the internet is probably on a hard disk ready to be brought to cache at a moments notice. Then there are all the backups on tape.
DeBeers until recently? Monsanto? I think neither relied on direct state intervention.

As for whether or not state enables monopolies, it's important to notice that market and governance are not, and can never be, disconnected. If you're big enough, you write your own rules.

> You could say the say about renting vs buying houses, and yet many people still buy

Cars and houses are excludable. And both are, within reasonable bounds, rival [1] when in use.

But people customise their houses in ways that are difficult to transmit. That makes houses more rival when out of use than a car. That is to say, people are less comfortable staying in others' houses than being in others' cars. Similarly, people are generally more okay with others being in their car than in their house. A rough estimate of this delta can be gleaned from comparing ride-sharing and Airbnb adoption rates.

Was Microsoft a monopoly? Or did they create a new paradigm and when their services were deemed so valuable and important to society that regulators started viewing their platform as a public utility, they decided to call it a monopoly?

The government never gave them a chance to lose market share, unfortunately. Microsoft created a ton of value for people, but they were worsening their product by preventing competition on their "platform" (Windows). If it wasn't for the government preventing consumers from starting to choose their competitors, we might have more Linux-based / Apple market share right now.

In any case, no one was harmed except for the competitors who wanted to compete with Microsoft on its own platform.

Rockefeller's Standard Oil is an example of a natural monopoly that brought down the price of kerosene by over 50% over the course of his reign. There is a such thing as a natural monopoly, but not a natural, malevolent monopoly (except governments, of course, but even they can be overthrown).

Yup I agree, working in a product team however one thing I will consider a red flag with projects is internal costings (i.e. having to "hire" devs from other teams for a certain dollar amount), however I understand the importance of getting other teams to "buy in"
Has anyone here actually played Monopoly as an adult?

My memories from childhood are of it being quite fun, and slow.

While managing a hostel a few years ago I played hundreds of games with hundreds of adults - with adults it's extremely cut-throat and downright nasty. I estimate 75% of games ended with people yelling and screaming, after less than 4 times around the board.

It's amazing to watch how nasty it gets, and how everyone takes it so personally.
Yes, it's why we at MemSQL added a column store on disk in 2014. Memory-only is too limiting and has evolved to a notion of "memory-first."
I think more granular permissions, not domain-specific permissions, are the solution. Domain-specific permissions destroy the illusion that the extension is part of the browser, without restricting access as far as it should be.

For example, I made an extension that, upon a certain keyboard shortcut, saves the current page in a specific bookmarks folder. Currently Chrome's permissions model completely fails here, you need to request full access to all user data, everywhere, indefinitely.

Which would be better, (a) granting full indefinite access to the domain you're bookmarking most of the time you bookmark something, or (b) giving the extension permission only to see the current tab's URL and title, and to edit one specific bookmarks folder, and only during a keyboard shortcut's callback?

The granularity solution to your scenario would be to tie page-reading permissions to your triggering the extension, and have them removed with code execution end. So, now you don't need to worry about sensitive information that shows up on other domains, or your bank deciding to use a subdomain, or that one bank blog post that you actually do want it to see.
I highly prefer LaTeX (and Markdown via pandoc) for writing, but Word does not require you to work serially. If you store a document on OneDrive (or SharePoint I guess), you can edit a document with multiple people simultaneously. Both from Word Online and Word on your PC/Mac.

Keep in mind that Western Design Centre also has/had rights to the 6502, and they're still selling variations, so the fact that MOS was liquidated doesn't necessarily mean much.

Capitalism is complex, that's one side of it - that value can be created. Another side is that those with capital (whether inherited or earned) have a significant leverage over those who don't. This is what monopoly was designed to illustrate.

This tends to lead to concentration of capital over time, and greater and greater inequality. In the end, it leads to impregnable monopolies if unchecked. Picasso was an interesting example to choose - he's a rare example of an artist who did well from their work, most die poor and their work is then sold for millions after their death, precisely because being able to create value does not mean you will necessarily be rewarded for that value, often the inverse - often others with capital are the ones who benefit from creation, not those who create. You can see this in art, games, engineering and in startups, almost any domain you care to think of - those who do the work are not necessarily or even usually those who benefit, those who control capital are the ones who benefit most, because it is not very hard to grow capital once you have it. So the trick is to have capital and control others who labour, not to work hard.

Regulated capitalism is an answer to this fundamental imbalance. Progressive taxes, bans on monopolies, inheritance tax are all there to even the playing field a little, but it is still vastly skewed to those with capital rather than those who live off labour.
You've misread the article. He isn't complaining about her not knowing the proxy setting. He's far from being arrogant - he's complaining about how people look down their nose at 'support' while being clueless about the things they need support with.

He's not complaining that she doesn't know that the proxy blocks streaming video, he's complaining that she doesn't know that her powerpoint presentation uses streaming video and what the ramifications of that are.

Read the article again and this time actually look at what he's complaining about, not just the tech keywords in the story. His problem is with her demeanor, not her skill.

Statistics can be used in many ways. You could also say that the "system" was able to feed and care for almost 6 billion people in 2015, almost the number of people estimated to have been alive since 10.000 BC until 1950.
It'll still change things though. I mean, you won't have to park for instance, allowing for new city infrastructure.
History shows that even big states crumble sooner or later. So this is not an argument for anything but lack of long-term stability of human organizations.

And I agree that subverting the market already happens. But it's not (just) the state, but (also) every big company out there.

I've stopped thinking of them as cars. They're "thing movers".

Consider how much of the speed, size and load constraints of a lorry are driven by the needs of the tiny human at the front. Self-driving trucks make possible a slow-moving vehicle trucking super-heavy stuff across the country at cheap rates because it only operates at the most-efficient speed its engine drives at. Or very-small trucks. Or cars that seat configurations and numbers of people that don't make sense given the constraints imposed by a human driver (who must be entertained or paid for their time).

Yeah, that showed up for me. It was more about how to use the setup scripts, they had changed a bit it seemed.

I thought if the resources around the course evolve over time, then the material should as well. It would be easier to keep a wiki up-to-date and refer to that, instead of a video (and site). For setup and "sidenotes" specifically, I'm not saying the lessons should be re-created in the wikis.

Although the homework and lesson notes in the wikis was indispensable.
