The problem is that the natural state leads to a lot of death as well.

Monogamy is not a natural state either by the way. Because after a war, there were far more women than men.

Technology has caused unprecedented peace among man. It is technology, far more than capitalism, that has enabled plenty and endef slavery and feudalism.

You think people couldn't own things before the 1800s? People owned tons of things. The ideology of free-market capitalism says that every era of human history that was miserable was that way because they didn't have free-market capitalism. But free-market capitalism as you conceive of it only became possible after a certain technological prosperity had been achieved. And it still doesn't exist today. The USA is more socialist than some other less prosperous countries.

Look for example at Africa. There were never any large empires there and as a result the tribes engaged in endless fighting against one another. As a result the technological (and military) capabilities of the peoples fell behind and they were easily conquered by Europeans later. This would have happened whether they had capitalism or socialism, the political units (of unified language or religion, no fighting between inside the polity etc.) were just too small for any meaningful growth to take place and knowledge to be disseminated.

If the natural state of man is capitalism and it predates recorded history, then it sure takes a long time to achieve anything. All the populaton explosion has happened in the last 200 years.

In my experience with sending/receiving/signing contracts, I think they are pretty ineffective if you use them solely and entirely as a derisking tool. This is because there are many mechanism that one side can use to inflict pain to the other side and no contract can protect against all of it. This is why binding arbitration is a thing.

But as an entrepreneur, I use contracts as a way to set expectations early on in the relationship. Our side agrees to do X, your side agrees to Y, this is when we agree to do it, and lets mitigate some basic and common miscommunication.

The excessive legal back and forth for small businesses and mostly friendly deals is probably unnecessary in a lot of situations, but failure to effectively communicate expectations is a killer, because a client can decide not to pay and tell you to "fucking sue me."

I don't know what you mean that I "keep equating...". This is my first post mentioning the left in this thread. I also don't know how that fits into GGGGP's comment, which you posted in response to me before anyone had invoked "the left" in this thread. I definitely don't understand your remark about the Trump Hilary split, which would never tell us anything about liberals, Christians, or Muslims, and I certainly never made claim that it did.

At any rate, I'm not referring to the left as non-Christian anyway. By "left", I mean "left", plus or minus liberal Christians.

I put "oppression" in quotes to indicate that the left would use the word to describe their relationship with Christians (because their threshold for invoking the word is quite a lot lower than most) if they were able to view the conflict with an outsider's perspective. I used "minority" to refer to Christians because they have quite a lot less power than the liberals who are punching down at them, not because they are few in number, in case that caused some confusion.

All of that lives on with Illumos and SmartOS and companies like Joyent. You can even run Ubuntu inside a zone.

Presumably it's related to the first point, imposing debts on Germany. I guess he thinks that WWII was caused indirectly by the reparations Germany was supposed to pay. It's a fairly common viewpoint.

Of course, as might be clear from his polemic tone, he is being facetious. The US shouldn't be blamed for the reparations. And the view that the reparations caused WWII is simplistic and misguided.

There are vastly more 32bit than 64bit systems (not PCs) out there. And there will be a lot more by 2038.

And so on. And yet in drugs we still have the patent system. And the superbugs are back because we run out of antibiotics. And the USA which has the most patents also pays the most per capita for the same drugs. Who wins from these monopolies?

And before you say that Intellectual Property shouldn't be considered property, throwing other anarcho-capitalists under the bus, consider this: if people shouldn't own ideas, should people be able to own large bodies of air, water, land, etc. that they personally will never use? Will that make them more or less likely to become polluted for example?"

The same John Locke who popularized the idea of homesteading or "mixing one's labor with the land" as anarcho-capitalists' favorite way to theoretically paper over acquision of natural resources in their theory also emphatically said that a man shouldn't own too much land.

Yet that's what Capitalism is. At its core it is about granting PROPERTY to private entities and enforcing it. PROPERTY IS A MONOPOLY RIGHT TO EXCLUDE OTHERS FROM THE USE OF A RESOURCE. And pure unfettered Capitalism recognizes no limits on who can own what, as long as the what isn't other people.

They didn't burn through lots of money at all based on facebook financials. And they charge $1/month for the app (although I don't think on all platforms). I don't recall if it was + or -, but their "profitability" was less than $10 million in either direction so they weren't making or losing a ton.
They didn't lose SO MUCH MONEY, that's the thing. The article link points that out. They "lost" money on paper by handing out stock/equity to attract talent. Their actual financials, while underwhelming, looked solid.
I have a huge issue with that trope. Most kids shows use the idea of inherently good and bad characters. We are teaching them that people are wrong because they are bad people.

http://cabeca.github.io/blog/2013/06/16/waiting-for-complete...

When I did this type of workaround (I have not needed to write one of these for a while) I found it was a problem for control flow that I needed to know if the action actually started and finished, not just whether it was currently in progress.

I used an .ajax-processing class that I added at the start of the request, and removed when the request came back with a callback.

While I can see the advantage of pendingAjaxRequests instead (you could have more than one going at a given time, and my .ajax-processing breaks down there), it still seems like you could have a problem as the browser JS is not running in the same process as your server or your test executor.

Your next line of code might run before the browser increments the inner text, or starts the XHR. You could pass control flow on thinking that the event has already completed, when in reality it hasn't even started yet. The 2013 article I linked seems to have a more robust model for tracking requests, it's just two variables, but it would seem to handle this problem with perfect reliability.

Oracle ignored/underestimated China's role in hardware business before buying Sun
Nuclear winter theories have been discredited. The science behind them was always fairly shaky--it requires several massive firestorms to trigger and generate stratospheric clouds for the global transport. Yet firestorms don't seem to cause stratospheric plumes, and there is good reason to doubt that modern cities are capable of producing the firestorms in the original model.

Looking at relevant experiences, there is even more reason to doubt the models. The Kuwaiti oil fires--where Iraq basically set an entire oil field on fire, and lasted for a month--failed to produce anything more than an intensely local problem. Even volcanic winters are probably overblown: there is only one well-documented case of severe effects of a volcanic winter (Year Without a Summer), and that required some exceptionally bad timing. While researchers do tend to make a game of linking famines listed in historical records to historical volcanic eruptions, it's not at all clear how correct this linkages are, especially since it shows clear signs of selection bias (no consideration of large volcanic eruptions that may not have produced volcanic winters).
Remove the rewards as they exist in our current system and doom civilisations to massive turmoil, marginalization and technological stasis. You cannot flatten a society when inequality is the fabric of evolutionary forces, in essence subduing the genius workaholics to the same levels of award as the troglodytes. To ignore the universe, filled with lesson upon lesson that all life is in constant competition to survive, that life feeds on life and instead build a society that does the opposite is to invite an end to all hope of prolonged interplanetary existence.

The Minute Physics video made me worry more about Russia's & US' ability to cause a nuclear winter rather than worry about NK.

Yes, there's additional risk if another country has them, but that argument is independent from country. Arguing NK shouldn't have nukes because it increases a risk is equally applicable to the US.

Actually, the US pose a much greater risk because they have bombers, silos and subs with way more nuclear weapons, multiplying the risk for accidents. Following the risk argument I feel the US are a larger problem than NK.
> A communist government is intended to be a dictatorship.

Not necessarily at all, and not only in theory but also in practice. The Kibbutzim[1] in Israel are a relatively successful form of communism -- granted, not on a state scale -- and lasted for about 100 years now (though they can hardly be called communist any more), and they have always been democratic (even if in practice they were sometimes oligarchic, but not much different in that respect from many democracies). The Kibbutzim were a particularly radical form of communism, where children were raised collectively, and lived away from their parents (this practice was particularly criticized in Israel and later stopped in most Kibbutzim).

> In that sense, no different from a fascist government.

There are really so many senses in which communism differs from fascism so completely (e.g. one is founded on exploitation and the other is founded on anti-exploitation) so that even if they were similar in one sense, comparing the two is not very useful. The only sense in which the two can be said to be similar (and this one applies to many ideals, even to opposing ones) is that they're both utopian.

Corporations often invest in public policy groups that further their own goals. Once they realize the funding is antithetical to the corporate goals, it's in the company's best interest to defund it.

The onus here to protect the Open Markets work, IMO, isn't on Google. It should be on the New America foundation. They had 2 choices: 1, Tell Google goodbye and raise money elsewhere while keeping to fund the Open Market initiative. Or 2, Keep Google's funding while defunding and disbanding the Open Markets team.

The ire, I believe, should be directed at the New America foundation and their leadership. Google seemed to just protect their best interests.
