> At this point, there will be a genuine question: why do we need to work to benefit from the goods of these industries?

For the same reason you can't look over to your neighbor's driveway and say, since he doesn't use his truck all day while he's at work, why can't I drive it ?

The people who built those automated industries expended capital, and likely, borrowed against future revenue to do so.

What you are free to do is compete with them. You can drive them into their stupid lender's hands by forcing a collapsing of margins in the industry using your wits.

But nationalizing the factories has, historically, generally led to nasty (the opposite of what your conscious advocates would call desirable) outcomes. And you are saying that a 100% automated factory should be effectively nationalized.
The A319neo is as good as dead. According to https://www.ft.com/content/201bf186-b350-11e7-a398-73d59db9e... , the A319neo hasn't had a sale in over 4 years. Airbus previously passed on this Bombardier deal several years ago because of the market segment conflict with the A319. Given there have been zero sales in the interim, I think it's a safe assumption that Airbus has decided to throw in the towel on the A319 and embrace the C-Series. Not just for the product but also for the strategic multinational relationships. Maximizing those relationships requires committing to the C-Series. The deal doesn't make sense unless Airbus is all-in.

Your point about a stretched C-Series being off the table stands, but that's very different from Airbus suffocating the C-Series altogether. With the A319 out of the way Airbus would have every incentive to position the C-Series against the smaller 737MAX variants.
Their feelings are accurate. Failure, generally, is indeed quite costly, ergo it would be maladaptive to be even vaguely affine to it.

Indeed. The disputed benefits of international free trade are exactly why I wrote "that can end up badly for everyone over the long term". (Of course there may be other downsides to interfering with international free trade beyond the immediate economic implications, if you upset other countries with which you would like good relations in other respects.)

I wasn’t arguing bribery vs extortion. I was questioning whether defaming someone is an illegal act.

Since you’ve brought it up, is it extortion to offer up a negative opinion and then to offer to take down a negative opinion?

The public space is as much yours as mine to say what we will about whatever subject under the sun including each other.

E.g., “I believe zebnyc eats donkey meat for breakfast. I don’t think he should be allowed to do this.” Now, if you were applying for a PETA contract, this opinion of mine could hurt you financially. So if I offered to take down this opinion for money, what illegal act have I committed? My opinion of your eating habits is valuable to you because of your external circumstances namely your PETA contract.

Is this any different from this guy stating that he doesn’t understand why a piece of equipment should cost in the thousands when to make it should cost in the low hundreds. The company could have argued the actual cost teardown or said that they attach their QA and reputation to each piece of equipment sold so that boosts the price or given him money to shut him up. The chose the last option.

Your statements are all true, in isolation from the question they answer. But I do not see why this risk means that self-worth should not be connected to accomplishments.

As I see it, an analogy to your argument would be that making a car's fuel gauge dependent on the amount of fuel in the car's fuel tank, means that the car is at risk of showing a low reading on its fuel gauge in the future.
Probably complaining from someone used to exceptions and/or assertions, where there is perhaps less boilerplate and manual verification that context bubbles to the right place.

You can get there either way, but what you're used to weighs
heavily.

For your example, depending on my experience, knowing that 1!=2 in some code I'm using directly might be more meaningful or actionable than "out of filehandles for accept()" in some deep chain of dependencies I know little about. Just depends on what you're used to.

Bitcoin’s market cap has three main components:

- speculation, as you say (sells outside a window)

- savings (sells after a period of time)

- float to cover transactions (sells continuously but also buys continuously, netting out to a stable holding)

They are all somewhat interrelated... speculation decreases savings value if it has volatility on a timescale bigger than typical vests. Float is constituted in part by the other two, although much of its cap is pure in/our money transfers. Speculators get most of their value from other speculators, but also react to changes in the float and savings market.

And any individual transaction will usually be some combination of the three. A saver might also be hoping for some return on top of the storage value. Someone who is moving money overseas might leave it in BTC for some additional time if they don’t have a better place to store that money.

Still, the mix of those motivations will lead to very different trading profiles. And only a small portion of those decisions are deterministic on the spot price of BTC, which is why calling them “100% speculative” is wrong.
Most of the time pip installs work fine, but once a while after some type of OS upgrade (namely, my experience has been MacOS), you run into odd compiler types of issues.

If we accept that, should we not also accept religious views in the internal environment? Many religions view unbelievers in a very negative way, and active missionary behavior inside a company would feel very oppressive to those who don't share the same religion as the one being promoted.

Personally I would not work at a place which did so, and would consider reporting it to the anti-discrimination department in my country.

Agree (regarding your edit.)

The guy posted an opinion. The company weighed the costs of refuting his opinion or paying him to shut up. I don’t think this is blackmail or extortion. How an opinion can be construed as defamatory I fail to see.
Some employers offer such a thing as group legal insurance, but that protects a privileged few and is more like a band-aid.

I think most people are against this sort of corruption when the learn of it. Reform should be a realistic goal.

I shared what I know with the hope that greater awareness will lead to more successful reform efforts -- whether that be by political candidate, proposition, or innovation.

I know property confiscation is on the ACLU's radar (https://www.aclu.org/issues/criminal-law-reform/reforming-po...).

I have not had time to do more research -- it is in my queue -- but I have wondered if there is a public data source for archived petitions and motions. Putting a nice frontend onto a search engine for property return motions by location could enable a strong-willed person to try and pursue property return on their own.

Probably lot's of different reasons. WiFi networks have to share unlicensed bands with other WiFi networks and hundreds of other things. Cellular networks have dedicated spectrum. LTE also uses a more integrated and centralized set of protocols for connection setup ("attach") and traffic management. See: https://hpbn.co/mobile-networks (scroll down to "radio resource control"). For example, getting an IP address is part of the attach procedure. (I feel like DHCP is responsible for 99% of flaky WiFi). Also, the RRC controls each cellular radio to a much greater extent than the 802.11 base station controls each 802.11 device.

YMMV, or course, but the bigco position is probably more about protecting your team from politics and learning what they need...training, political representation, translating business requirements, and so forth. There's probably already a tech lead in place for the "tech stuff".

The small company position is probably more about technical mentoring, teaching, building a team, being the defacto chief architect, replacing yourself and current role as the company grows.

"Faith in humanity". Always makes me wonder why some people hold this kind of unproven belief that the human race as a whole is a good and loving one and that evil is only the exception. There is no such thing. Humans can and will behave like monsters when the incentives are there, whether it is for their own survival, or their own benefit.
I don’t disagree with your point, but aren’t there languages that do take into account the context in which functions are called in addition to the parameters and namespaces?

Both R and Perl seem like ones where it wouldn’t be extremely strange for the function to also look back to the context of the calling function. Then it could find out if the two parties had an affinity for this person, and whether it was a conversation about something like figuring out an excuse to miss a party or one like finding a gift in order to which Bob.

So the solution for the hordes of people who were put out of work by automation, is to gamble it all on the bet that they can outcompete powerful, established businesses by operating with far less profit?

Are you really saying "I'm sorry you lost your factory job, but the only moral solutions are a.) let your family starve to death, or b.) every unemployed factory worked just, sorta, becomes an entrepreneur, scrapping with all his former coworkers and bosses over who can survive on the slimmest margins." ?

Nationalizing factories may lead to undesirable outcomes, but your alternative is a different kind of dystopia.

Not trying to be critical, but you remind me of a curious question I had.

Is there anything that can really end all life on Earth short of the earth being ejected from the solar system or things of equivalent magnitude?

Sure, we might nuke humans and most animals into extinction, but life would survive. Do we know if new complex animals would evolve again "quickly" (meaning hundreds of millions of years)?

Wheels just broke something in our build pipeline. They removed support for Python 2.6 and started tossing errors. I was able to fix it by pinning Wheel which probably should have been done originally by who ever made the build utility, but it would have been a non issue with Go and a binary.
Yup, this is a very likely possibility, that even if life emerges the other conditioms may not be present to make it evolve to the next stage. Even the fact that humans have made it ahead of other species is not given at all. Other apes were far less lucky.

Me (Gaurav Gupta) and my co-founder on Hackr.io (Saurabh Hooda) met online and we started work in a client/vendor relationship on Lenro.co, Saurabh's original startup. I was running SquareBoat (an app/web development company based in New Delhi) and Saurabh contacted me to build Lenro.co for him.

Two years later, Saurabh decided to close it down but we had by then seen each other's style of working. So for our next startup, we just decided to do it together as co-founders.

Boeing isn’t fighting the CSeries for what it currently is. The CS100 and 300 in themselves don’t directly complete against any Boeing planes. Their worry is that a successful CSeries could spawn a stretch CS500 that would be begin moving in on the 737.

Boeing underestimated Airbus in the 70s and 80s, and they’re trying not to make the same mistake again. They were trying to head this off before it gets that far.
I’ve read your article and it makes sense, but I’m wondering if what you are doing with multiple personas is really any better.

Mirimir is a rather unique name, Google turns up a lot of results which seem to be you, so it’s not hard to see what mirimir is interested in. I’d assume ad networks also have a pretty good profile on mirimir too.

I’m sure there’s more to you than just mirimir, but it’s probably a big part of who you are so what does this really gain? Your real name isn’t revealed, but that’s just another persona. Potential employers won’t find you are interested in opsec through Google, but I’d assume you work in that field anyway. I’d guess having the choice of what to reveal is an advantage, but it’s very easy then to reveal too much so that personas could be put together (e.g. Steve who is the friend of another persona on Facebook, comments on mirimirs article).

Maybe people aren’t going to come across your non-work interests in (e.g.) steampunk or painting dragon pictures, but so what? For most people that is part of who they are, and they don’t care to hide it. Maybe if you have something to hide this is a good idea, but I’d say most people don’t (given how many post private details of their life online).

Personally I use my real name online. I’ve considered switching to pseudonyms to make it harder for casual people to stalk me, but at the end of the day I’ve already revealed so much that it’s not going to help much, and there isn’t anything I feel the need to hide.

Cyber Phrenology: How Google Violates the Civil Rights Act
Thanks for bringing this organization to my attention. Just donated.
One thing we're learning is that the UK government can do whatever it wants. Who is going to stop it breaking it's own laws? The UK people have been educated in an obedience system (where they actually all wear a uniform) and are taught to do what they're told without challenge. The result is a large population of people who can not think for themselves and believe that the government is like a big parent who can keep them nice and safe.

For years the UK at least had the EU who has some laws protecting people, but they've even convinced these obedient lemmings to leave the only union protecting their rights.

One of the biggest problems with government and law is that the people will only fight for what they want, not what they already have. Meaning history will always repeat itself, laws will be passed when people become repressed, then repealed as soon as people forget.

The USA, more than most other countries, has plenty of "thin" routes between minor cities that can only be profitable with a small, efficient plane like the C300. If they could fill an a320 then Delta would have been looking at that from the beginning. I don't think this is a likely concern.

As sad as the photo of the rhino makes me, I find the photo below of the elephants in the palm plantation even sadder. So much of Southeast Asia's forests have been destroyed to create palm oil plantations. It's not only devastating for animals like the pictured elephants, but it's also a big contributor to climate change.

Anyone who cares about the environment or ethical treatment of animals should be reading labels and avoiding all products containing palm oil.

To be honest I don't think they have that many other ideas. Infiltration and in-person spying is really quite hard to do against affinity groups and is also ethically problematic (eg sting operations and so on). There's a great deal of political pressure, compounded by the 24 hour news cycle and nowadays by social media. A politician that says 'look people, we made some bad foreign-policy choices and we're just going to have to put up with a bit more of this terrorism until they feel better about us' might as well start writing their memoirs because their career in politics will be over the minute they say that in public.

In a way, I think the traditional mode of representative government is part of the problem. It simply doesn't reward anyone to level with the public like that. I'd like to be shown wrong, can anyone provide a counterexample of a politician serving in office who persuaded the public to just accept it? The only sort-of example I can think of is US politicians who throw up their hands over teh gun control issue after a massacre and say they can't really do anything and then wait for the issue to fall off the front page. But that's also why so many people are disgusted by politics.

If you want politicians to stop engaging in security theater and the like, it looks like you're going to have to buy them off. With enough money a politician will apparently say anything. Doesn't sound too sustainable to me though.
