the dictatorship of the proletariat

I'm not an expert, but I believe this is a misunderstanding of Marxism. According to Marx, the modern State is itself dictatorial ("the existence of the state is inseparable from the existence of slavery" -- Critical Notes on "The King of Prussia"), with the Bourgeoisie being the dominant class.

The dictatorship of the proletariat is a transitional revolutionary period in which the State still exists (hence the dictatorship), but the proletariat becomes the dominant class instead. This is followed by the abolishment of classes and of the State itself.

(Note: I'm not actually interested in discussing the merits of Marxism, I just think one should properly represent a position before having an opinion on it)

Hey, it's kind of appropriate that you find what you're looking for in the comments section on an article from the commenting platform itself. :)
In my experience it's great for pain and that's backed up by science[0]

You sound pretty glib and uninformed, which is not a useful combination.

Batteries are included with Debian. I seem to always have to install things from EPEL (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3358), which has a lower standard for support. Debian seems to have everything I need in main that I need and I rarely have to go to non-free or contrib. This helps me trust my system more. Both security and stability.
Funny how you claim that debates concerning capitalism indiscriminately conflate economics and politics and then proceed to do the very same thing for communism.

If I plug the term "communism" into Google I get the following definition:

“a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.“

Nowhere in that definition do I see anything about the political dictatorship of the proles. That's a whole other thing. I think it is far more useful to think of communism opposing the central notion of private property rights in capitalism. (Most?) communists retain the notion of personal property rights but I'm not sure how the distinction is cashed out in practice.

> And there is not a single Western state with purely capitalist economy

Straw man? Nobody sensible is really arguing that Western economies are purely capitalist. Everybody sensible will acknowledge that they are mixed.

> I would really like to see which one of the central characteristics of Capitalism - private property, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, price system, competitive markets

I imagine that it is the _capital accumulation_ part, aka wealth inequality – article says that “And a solid 55% of Americans of all ages believe that capitalism is fundamentally unfair.” – ergo it's presumably the (unequal) capital accumulation part that people object to. Or to put it in Piketty terms, we're worried about r > g getting so out of hand that it's causing unnecessary social hardship and division.
It's deliberately _worse_ than cargo culting in Warhammer 40k. That universe is deliberately set up to be as bleak and cynical as possible. Partly just for fun, partly to serve the game a justification why any faction would get into a skirmish with any other faction (including itself).
"Personally, I stand to benefit financially from chaos"

> Growth is great if everyone involved in the system has a fair opportunity to partake in that growth

Not really. We're so far beyond the carrying capacity of our planet already that our natural systems are collapsing at a dizzying pace. More growth = faster collapse. For a mix of personal and professional reasons I'm in touch with many experts in specific ecologies throughout mainly SE Asia, Australia, and W.Europe. Nearly every one is in one of a spectrum of states between panic and depression, because the systems they are studying are collapsing fast enough to be very obviously discernible within their own career span (these are people in their 30s to 50s).

This is pretty well known to us in Australia, which has had astonishingly fast population growth, so that now many retirees can see the collapse for themselves. All the Queensland inshore reefs that they used to visit on school holidays, for example, have now disappeared. Those studying the offshore reefs tell us that they will also be dead in a few decades. This is repeated for all our land ecosystems, from the tropical savannahs to the Southern highlands.

Many people cloistered in the parasitic virtual worlds of business and cities think of this as something that won't affect them. It's something seperate, 'the environment', that they only see on holidays and in documentaries. Yet the world's climate on which agriculture depends is also collapsing fast. Topsoil is being blown and washed away. Fresh water is disappearing. We're three or four bad seasons (which are ever harder to predict) away from disaster.

Ongoing growth is incompatible with the continuing existence of a living planet.
Same here! Just 2005/06 as i remember. And every time apt-get push new things to machine since i'm in "testing" build.
Does Apple understand? Yes, they do. I would sure hope so. On the other hand, my original comment was about consumers. You know, they type of people who post memes touting Obama and the low price of gasoline. They clearly don't understand lower prices increases consumption. Increased consumption increases pollution (aka greenhouse gases). How is that green?
I think that Bayesian Program Learning as pioneered by Lake et-al is a big idea.

I think that GAN's probably qualify - although you can see that emerging in the SAB series of conferences in the 90's if you read the papers.

On the other hand I do see a lot of small innovations that are enabling many people to create incremental improvements and applications. I feel that that the exploration of the field has been very weak and our overall knowledge is limited and not widely shared. Perhaps the improvements like MCMC search for bayesian reasoning, causality, counterfactuals, GPU's and TPU's and FPGA's and the access to very large data sets for training, forward training and so on will be the actual breakthrough.

Good advice. I run OpenSUSE and couldn't be happier with my them in regards to Desktop and Server.

I think we all just just grok the way our distro does things.
Along the same line, you get public endorsements and comments from people like Snowden and Assange.

ZCash, as opposed to f.e. Monero, is a private company and consciously spending time, money and effort on brand-building and PR.

Nothing really weird with that IMO.
I'm not a pessimist because capitalism is ending, I'm a pessimist because it's not.

Right now we're seeing a shift in who benefits and an inequality crisis, but absolutely nothing is being done to change the course of our economy away from capitalism.

Uber isn't a collective/shared economy, it's a taxi service without labour rights.

So what we're really seeing isn't the end of capitalism it's the end of democracy and individual rights, and anyone who's read any bit of cyberpunk knows what comes next isn't going to be exciting.

It'll be dystopian as fuck, and we're approaching the point where the powers can render revolution almost impossible through tech.

Sure it could lead to something better, if you're optimistic, but then I wonder if you've been paying attention to the state of individual freedom these past years.

Surveillance is at an all time high, big data can predict our lives and we've started hating our neighbors.

That's why I am always delighted when I see an iPad hooked up as a point-of-sales system.

Not because iPads are inherently superior to old style PoS systems (they are not, they can't provide tactile buttons) or because any one UI they offer is particularly good, but because they herald a new era of lower barriers to entry into the PoS terminals market.
> There is another definition: what developers mean and understand when they say and hear "open source".

Sure, but those devs know that 'MIT' and 'GPL' and 'BSD' are Open Source, and that being able to license the source code for eg, Windows, doesn't make Windows Open Source.
I don't like the old style NSDictionary way of packing information that so many API's use. First of all they're lacking an enforcement for the type of the value they're expecting (sometimes leading to crashes if you get them wrong) and the discoverability of possibilities is less easy than with a struct or object.

Still, passing in password twice would still be a possible mistake. The only thing that would help in my opinion would be types that can be applied to primitives, a bit like F# does. So you can declare certain Doubles to be Miles, Kilometers, Meters and so on. Or a certain type of string can be of type DatabaseID or a Password.
"The Luddites were a group of English textile workers and weavers in the 19th century who destroyed weaving machinery as a form of protest. The group was protesting the use of machinery in a "fraudulent and deceitful manner" to get around standard labour practices.[1] Luddites feared that the time spent learning the skills of their craft would go to waste as machines would replace their role in the industry.[2]"

"It is a misconception that the Luddites protested against the machinery itself in an attempt to halt progress of technology."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

The modern day equivalent would be the French anti-Uber strike:

https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/26/10832204/french-taxi-uber...

CATO's agenda, of course, requires depicting the French taxi drivers as "luddites protesting technology" which neatly illustrates exactly why the misconception has persisted for so long:

A domestic robot is probably as big of a market as self driving cars. Not that this is close. But a robot that would clean, wash, iron, prepare food, do some basic plumbing and painting, replace bulbs, receive parcels, yell at the dog if it misbehaves, etc... I start to think that I will own one in my lifetime.
I don't mind that do much. What does really bother me is when I am on vacation and using incognito or another computer and all Google sites redirect me to the other countries one. Most of the time the only way to change to English is by logging in. Their capchas are even in the local language, making it really difficult for me to do what they want.
"You might be surprised about the number of non-english speakers; I know I was when visiting Italy and Portugal this summer (especially Italy)."

As an Italian I have to agree with you; for us old timers it wasn't easy as English didn't become the official 2nd language over here until some decades ago. Both my parents and most relatives as an example knew some French but next to no English, so I had to learn it for myself.
Luckily newer generations are getting much better integrated with the rest of the world language-wise; should you visit Italy again and need directions, asking to people in their 20s or 30s will probably be more effective.
> As usual with most debates about Capitalism, this article indiscriminately mixes economic systems with political ideologies.

> Capitalism is not the opposite of Communism, Democracy is

I find this comment very odd as in my experience the opposite is true of most debates: what most get wrong is mixing economic systems with political ideologies by framing Communism as the opposite to Democracy (when it is in fact the opposite of Capitalism). You may be thinking of Authoritarianism

> (one of the core ideas of Communism is the dictatorship of the proletariat)

This particular line highlights your misunderstanding. Firstly, "dictatorship of the proletariat" is a term often used to describe a proposed/potential intermediate state of moving from Capitalism to Communism - it is not a core component of either. Secondly, the word "dictatorship" is used facetiously in this phrase, it is not an actual state of dictatorship.

A few years ago, a friend of mine who lived in China said that the landlord wanted to be paid in cash every month. I find it hard to believe that it could change so quickly, especially since I got the sense that a lot of it was unreported.

$5 trillion transactions / 1 billion adults = $5,000/person average. Average income in China = $10,000. Businesses also do transactions, so clearly there's still a lot of cash moving around.

If it were "dead" shouldn't we be seeing reports about the greatly decreased amount of cash in circulation? I mean, every few weeks it seems someone posts to HN about Sweden going cashless, and reports like https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jun/04/sweden-cash... which say "Circulation of Swedish krona has fallen from around 106bn in 2009 to 80bn last year."

What's the same for China?

The instability comes from piles of biases created by rules, exactly like this. Addressing these biases and correcting clearly ridiculous incentives will slowly correct overall behaviour, if enough rules/rates/whatever are tweaked in a better direction.
I think that the bailing out of corporations during the 2008 crisis was in a large part the result of corporate lobbying; which is a natural byproduct of capitalism.
Capitalist moralists love to point out that 'bailing out' is anti-capitalist but at the same time they seem to ignore to the fact that that government manipulation by corporations is an integral part of capitalism in the first place.

So you end up with two sets of capitalists; moral capitalists and immoral capitalists unwittingly collaborating with one another.

It was very convenient for a lot of passive 'moral' shareholders that the government just happened to step in to bail out their favourite stocks.
This might cost some jobs but not very many. There have been all kinds of automated food solutions in existence for many decades. They serve a niche in the market for people that just want to grab and eat something quickly.

Hi, at the moment we can only import fillable PDF forms (AcroForms or XFA.)

In the future we might implement OCR and machine learning to automatically detect fields in scanned or photographed PDFs. I think it could also be useful to build an index of fillable PDF forms (e.g. from the IRS and UCSIS), and then use those original fillable PDFs whenever we detect a matching scanned form. We might also build a public database of fillable forms.

But I don't want to build any of those features unless I have a customer who actually needs it. (Please send an email to hello@formapi.io if this is something you would use!)
That still seems to be at odds with "We do NOT keep any logs that can identify or help in monitoring a user's activity."

If they were ordered to keep some logs, they should say "We do NOT keep any logs that can identify or help in monitoring a user's activity, except in the event that we have been ordered to do so."

Growing up playing sports I was never much of a fan of drugs ever, weed particularly because I hate the feeling of smoking.

The years of wear and tear finally took their toll a couple of years ago and I had to have hip surgery to repair a torn labrum and remove an impingement (shave down the bone of the femur in the socket to keep it from tearing things up).

By all accounts this is supposed to be an incredibly painful recovery for the first couple of weeks and they loaded me to the gills with opioids. I hate opioids as they make me itchy as all get out and I’m basically a worthless zombie for the day.

In Seattle, marijuana is legal so I went to the local dispensary for drinkable high CBD oils and chocolate squares on the recommendation of a buddy. It helped with the pain better than the pain killers, plus my high wasn’t the debilitating drool on yourself stupid that the painkillers were giving me. I wasn’t going to be operating a vehicle, but I could still pull out my laptop and write code.

A week later my pain was sufficiently under control I went back to work and the dosage was low enough I could be nearly pain free all day at work and not be high.

The original prognosis was likely 3 weeks due to pain management issues.

I’ve not taken it since, but if I ever have surgery again it’ll be my go to.

Can user account information really be called "logs?" This article mislead me into thinking PureVPN kept activity logs, but the end of the article makes it sound like they just store an email address. Did I misread?

How would PureVPN records be able to show which GMail account he was accessing? This will all be HTTPS.
I think I might have stumbled upon a new category of common properties here. (At least new to me.) Basically, test that some subset of your output variables is a function of a specific subset of your input variables. And conversely, test that some subset of your output variables is independent (under some conditions) of some subset of your input variables.

My go-to example for property based testing isn't addition, but idempotence. Idempotence is a concept well known from REST apis to the general programming public, and also in sorting or clean up data. And it's easy to state in code, eg: sorted(sorted(x)) == sorted(x).
There are vested interests in promoting those sorts of stories, as a counterpoint to the depressing reality that far more drop out of the economy onto the disability rolls and slowly or quickly drink and drug themselves to death.
I switched from CentOS to Debian on servers three years ago. I'd give two reasons:

1) No need for EPEL and similar extra repositories. Debian is extremely comprehensive.

2) Rolling updates. We keep some servers in the stable release, some in the testing release. No hiccups on upgrade, yet.

Servers you keep on the stable channel will go through the same kind of upgrades you see on major CentOS versions. I never had a CentOS upgrade go smoothly; We'd usually just reinstall everything from config management. When Debian 8 came out, we opted for a distro-upgrade and everything was perfectly smooth. It took longer to go through change management (cycle out of production, test, slowly reapply load) than it took to actually upgrade the servers.

The servers we keep on testing are non-critical, and go through much more frequent distro-upgrade cycles. We had a couple bumps on the road, during the sysv init to systemd transition, but overall I still classify the distro as extremely solid and much better than our previous experience with CentOS.
I read it to mean that he accessed his GMail account while using PureVPN, which really raises more questions than it answers because PureVPN should have no way to know which GMail account is being accessed, regardless of what logs they keep.
It'll be interesting to see what PureVPN's response (if any) is to this story.

Seems like they've straight up lied about their capabilities.
As austrian and ex-competitive skier I can recommend Snowbird and it's associated venues wholeheartedly. It's great, with easy and difficult slopes, and fantastic management.
