I think that's the most important (and one of the least examined) aspect of "post-capitalism". It's easy for me and, I assume, anybody else to _envision_ a world where there's no more useful work for humans to do and therefore no further need for people to "earn a living". However, it seems pretty obvious that we're not there yet. We might be ten years away, we might be a thousand years away - but destroying civilization now because we figure we might get there in the near future strikes me as unwise. While I see lots of people debating about what to do when we get to the "end of capitalism", I see very few people trying to find any common ground as to how to figure out when we get to that point.
Precisely. This whole recent STEM discussion comes back to the demonization of the Liberal Arts.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics all makes money as a multiplier for the capitalist class. So all of them are highly praised. However, those pesky things like philosophy and art are "worthless" - as in they don't make the owners money.

Marx's works also talk about turning universities into training centers too. Eventually, the cost of education would be the point that either the rich (capitalists) would attend, or regular people would attend to learn how to work in the above (STEM) categories.
Capital can’t be eliminated because it’s an extension of what we are in the natural world.

You might look at Bill Gates billions of dollars and think it’s an excessive amount that could never been needed. Yet what does he do when he and Jeff Bezos both want to own the Mona Lisa? It can’t be shared and it can’t be copied. One man will take it back to his house and the other will go empty handed.

No amount of wealth in the world will change its property of relativity in problem solving.

For example, let's say someone creates interactive children's stories and m-a-y have marketed to a visual novel forum that was unexpectedly geared towards X-rated things, leading to some, shall we say, confusion.

A job search that actually understands that Software Engineer, Programmer, Coder, Developer are all related and should show me those jobs (after the exact matches). It is infuriating trying to figure out what a company's internal job titles are.

Put the company boiler plate (We are a great place to work, we value Blah, Blah, Blah) at the bottom of the job description. A jobseeker only wants to read the job description and move on if it is not what they are looking for.

Allow tabs! If you provide a list of returned results I want to be able to open all the jobs I am interested in their own tabs rather then page back and forth between the job and results.

Contact information, resume, and one or two pre-screen questions required max! Do not ask me me to fill in forms, or verify whatever parsing you are using. Don't make me do that crap until you are sure you hiring me and need to do a background check.

In other words, humans are just disposable, self-healing robots that require minimal maintenance. And when they can no longer do the job, Right-to-Work laws summarily get rid of them.
Oh I get it! By redefining common words, you create an 'in group' of pseudo-intellectuals who know the 'real truth' about whatever. Thanks, I'll bow out of this.
Good point. Maybe the issue is user-controlled, opt-in style personalization versus opaque, algorithmic, A-B-tested-on-other-people personalization.

I'm definitely in favor of personally choosing what to subscribe to, but algorithms are very far from where I would trust them to make those choices for me.
People seem to forget that nearly all frozen meals and frozen pizzas are all robotic made by the many millions per day. Just by very expensive, large and high speed robots.

The innovation is now trying to make robots that are more flexible, smaller and low volume food production while not being super expensive.
Most people can get by without glasses in a world where they don't need to read or drive. Also most people wouldn't be diabetic on a wild forager diet.

Most of humanity are still living in rough conditions also.

Only a small percentage of humanity would die off and the rest would re-acclimate. There hasn't been all that much 'evolution' aside from some selection for intelligence.

>What can we do to make not going to a top school less disadvantageous?

Don't have a ludicrous hiring process. Employers get high on their own hype supply and start believing that because they can afford to be selective, and have a trendy enough name, that the selectivity is warranted.

It might be good for an external image. But frankly, if the position can be hired directly out of college, they don't need someone from a prestigious school.
Apparently this is Vero's gimmick, but that's coming directly from them so take it with a grain of salt.
This was well before I worked here. We were still college students at the time and he actually received a seed round of investment from a young angel-firm.

They were the ones who advised he worked with said company, so he thought they knew what they were talking about. Long story short, a partner was friends with the owner of this 'development firm' that ultimately created this mess.

Just another example of how bad advice and bad investors can kill your startup before it even gets started.
One might also argue that the real thing didn't happen yet though. Just because a lot of people attach a label to themselves and then other people come and use that label to do PR against them doesn't mean it was correct in the first place.

That said, I also don't believe in it. From what I'm seeing around me, people usually grab small short term advantages over other people even if they suffer long term consequences together after the "success". Also people really love to give power over themselves to other people. Until these two misconceptions are overcome there can't be any real attempt at communism.
This seems convoluted to me. Like using an android to operate a manual spinning wheel, instead of an automated spinning machine.
Interesting. With this definition, I can see why many people would set it at 5 or even 0. :)
Has Jump been profitable ever?

I cannot possibly see how a dockless bike share company is worth $200M. Another bloated valuation to add to the trend of overvalued SV companies. I barely see anyone in SF use any of the bikeshare bikes. Ford, JUMP, any of them. Once again Uber demonstrates it does not know how to spend money. Well done.
Any price change will not be radical. Wages account for about 25% of the cost of fast food, but these robots are not free and any savings will result in price drops only if the price change also increases profits. Instead, more money may be spent on better ingredients or marketing. Do not expect a 25% price drop.

With regard to health and safety, the robots will provide only small benefit. Humans are better equipped (i.e., we have noses) to detect bad food; and in any case humans will still be involved in the handling, storage, and transportation of ingredients. Although disgusting, cases where the cook doesn't clean the grill properly and people get sick are much rarer than cases where the ingredients are already bad.

I suspect the main benefit of these robots to a fast food chain would be consistency in product and preparation times.

Why do you think stack-exchange is not the right place for questions and user support ?

Reminds me of stories of how, when the telegraph was common, people purchased code books in order to compress their messages. Not for security, necessarily, as many of the codes were public knowledge, but in order to save money as one code word could replace a whole common sentence. The telegraph companies eventually banned codes for that reason.
I was talking about the MDI windows (those inside the client area, the subwindows), not the toolbar. The MDI windows, regardless of manifest, use the Vista theme since their look hasn't been updated for ~12 years.

> There may be cases where by-reference (yes, that's an absolutely acceptable thing to say, even in C)

I don't want to be nit-picking. But I would like to know why "by-reference" is an acceptable thing to say.

When I learnt C, C++, Java, etc. I was repeatedly told that pass by reference exists only in C++. In C, a pointer is passed by value. In Java, a reference is passed by value.

Doesn't calling "pass pointer by value" as "pass by reference" lead to confusion and distortion of the true meaning of "by reference"?
"All organisms, plants, fungi and animals/humans produce chemicals that kill bacteria, i.e. antibiotics. ... The flavoring chemicals in herbs and spices have a far more important use in food preparation than titillation of taste buds, since those chemicals kill common food pathogens. More profoundly, it is important to realize that the selective advantage of phytochemicals/polyphenols/alkaloids/essential oils to the plants that make them, is as natural antibiotics. Plants kill bacteria, as well as fungi and insects, for a living."

I think that Marx's definition of capital is significantly limited in comparison to what others refer to as capital. In a much more common usage, capital is not just money, but any goods and services saved for the later production of consumer goods, or to meet a specific end. For instance, factory machines, education, tools, etc. are also considered capital.
RSS is crucial for me to get custom keyword alerts from various SEC filings feeds from companies I watch.

Maybe we shouldn't keep the college system around in its current form at all.

In Iran, there's something called the Guardian Council. If you want to run for an election, the Guardian Council has to approve you first. If they don't approve you, you can't run.

We don't have that in America, and that's generally considered a good thing. What we do have is an emphasis on credentials -- and the opportunity to get these credentials is gatekept by admissions officers.

For example, look at the Supreme Court. Every current justice went to either Harvard or Yale -- mostly Harvard. The last one not to attend either was O'Connor. So, in practice, we have a guardian council here in America, which determines, among (many) other things, who can get on the Supreme Court.

There's also the issue that not everyone understands the college game -- not just admissions, but the importance of going to a brand-name college in the first place. There are still a lot of parents and counselors and so on out there who think the only thing that matters is getting the degree, no matter where it's from. So if you don't come from a background where people know the game, you're screwed for life, unless you can become a successful entrepreneur.

Yeah I would say Fortnite was influenced by Overwatch and PUBG and maybe even Splattoon, but originally probably started out as Epic's Overwatch type game that Blizzard was successful on.
There is (and always will be) no shortage of internet arguments over this exact concern. I will sidestep it and point to social theorist Pierre Bourdieu. Here's an explainer video:

I didn't mean to offend you, in fact, I am trying to consume less 'news' myself since a few years. And while I agree that the HN comments hold a lot of high quality information, I see that HN, in general, has a similar effect on my concentration and productivity as other news/media sites.

So I don't try to not read HN at all, but to become aware of the effect it has on me and limit my news consumption to a healthy dose ;-)
Wow, really wanted a picture in this article. Will have to read it later to learn what it looks like.
That's only for US debit cards where a debit transaction requires a PIN code, but a credit transaction prefers signatures. For credit cards with PIN preference it shouldn't make a difference, as it's up to the card to decide which mode to use (based on the options that are supported by the terminal).

> Bikes still work on the rain, you only need to dress up a bit.

Given that I've seen car users complain about using public transit because they have to wait for a few minutes or sit next to someone they don't know, needing to buy specific clothing is likely to deter them even more from biking.

It's a cultural problem.
Rationally can be understood to mean something like:

* Put goods to their highest use

* Allocate capital to those who can produce more rather than consume it

In general, nothing is given to anyone. Increasing capital (i.e. by a single individual or within a single firm) is quite difficult and getting moreso every day. If 1% of the population is a super-producer, 9% are regular producers, and 90% are largely consumers, then the consumers are best off when the 10% producers have most of the capital. Allocating capital to consumers starts fun and ends poorly.
To be honest I've never had a lawyer or doctor do a job for me and leave me thinking, "oh wow, you really went above and beyond for me and did a great job that left me in a great mood all day!" I had a guy in London who parked our car and carried our luggage up to our room exceptionally fast and spent several minutes giving us great recommendations on where to eat and how to make the best of our time in the city. Tip.
Awesome, this is exactly how I wish all 'better C' languages would allow C interop instead of going through separate binding-generator tools. The C (not C++) language itself is simple enough that at least a struct/function declarations parser shouldn't add too much code to any compiler (even if not using LLVM for this).

The best solution would be to also allow directly referencing .c implementation files from D source, for separate compilation and linking with the D program. Nim does allow something like this: https://github.com/floooh/sokol-nim/blob/master/sokol/gfx.ni..., but I guess since Nim compiles to C this is much easier to achieve :)
Legacy admissions probably tip the scale in close calls.

I applied to my mother's alma mater which is a top 10 ranking University. I had nowhere near the GPA needed and they wrote back with a nice form rejection letter that says that they had given special consideration as the child of an alumni and regret not being able to offer an invitation to next year's class.

Then I've heard stories of parents donating $2M to get their legacy (child) in to an Ivy League with below average grades.
Forget about cards, there's a ton of restaurants and stores in NYC that only accept cash due to the transaction fees.

I think power consumption by RAM is more affected by the number of sticks rather than their capacity. As long as they're only 2 slots (most laptops are except ultra-high-end machines), the power difference between 16GB and 32GB should be negligible.
Mark Zuckerberg Says He’s Not Resigning
True, but given the technical age we live in, I think supply costs are rapidly diminishing. I also happen to think that "school supplies" are vastly overrated (having taught in Teach For America in an underserved school myself). Furthermore, why do you think that an incentive for advanced degrees/specialization is a good incentive? I think that's the worst kind. The teachers I've met with advanced degrees do not even seem to correlate with the best teachers.

I'm not saying your point isn't defensible, it's just that saying teachers/districts are underpaid is far from the obvious answer.
One could also be cynical about it and say that a human is reduced to a pure consumer, since productive mental work will be automated as well with a few exceptions. So there is nothing of value to contribute in the line at the supermarket, except for watching/listening to something and feeding the recommendation engine.
That's an old video. Our new robotic kitchen has been completely redesigned and reengineered since then. There's a photo in the social share...check out @spycefoodco on Facebook or Twitter to see the image.
It's interesting, because that functionality is why I mentally usually draw parallels between AMP and RSS. Except AMP seems to have better success pushing management to implement it, which is probably due to Google's prominent placement of articles that have AMP versions available.
To propose gutting unions requires proposing a substitute.

Unions are known to protect “incombants”. It is a very real problem with plenty of studies in the labor literature.
Not really, because users with a high page load time can skew the average by a very large amount.

Hypothetically, let's say that previously they had 10 users who all took 2.5 seconds to load the page, so their average page load time is 2.5 seconds. After the change, those users all drop to a 1 second page load time. They also attracted one new user who now only has to wait 20 seconds instead of 50 seconds. Their average page load time is now 2.7 seconds but their usage only increased by 10%.
It's a limit rather than a factor of preference is I think the takeaway
We do not live in a post-scarcity world, just the illusion of one. Ecological systems will collapse because humans' unchecked consumption patterns disrupt the homeostasis of those systems.

I feel sad that this person writes about "post-scarcity" and "post-capitalism" because it reinforces for me the fact that this person with the resources and station in life to help take responsibility for this accelerating, destabilizing train ride instead chooses to talk about a fanciful Utopia.
Hey HN, I run NewsBlur and am launching my hardware project Turn Touch today. Launched last year as a Kickstarter campaign, it is now available for immediate shipping.

Turn Touch is a beautiful wooden smart home remote and pedestal. It’s designed to fit both your home and your hand. Use it to instantly control Hue lights, smart devices, Mac and iOS apps, and more. Turn Touch connects to most smart devices in your home that speak WiFi, including Sonos speakers and Belkin Wemo smart plugs. Turn Touch works with your Mac, iPhone, or iPad to control apps like iTunes, Spotify, and Keynote.

Here’s a few more reasons to buy it:

* Extraordinary design — This isn't yet another plastic remote. Turn Touch is carved from solid wood and worked to a show-stopping, textured finish.

* Well connected — Turn Touch is always on, always connected, and always ready to take your breath away. Once you connect your Turn Touch via Bluetooth it stays connected and always available, even without the Turn Touch app actively running. And there's no delay, when you press a button the result is instant.

﻿* Built to last﻿ — Not only will Turn Touch stand up to drops and shock, its entire circuit board can be inexpensively replaced with newer, future wireless tech. You won't have to buy a new remote every time Apple comes out with a new phone. And instead of flimsy plastic clasps, a set of 8 strong magnets invisibly hold the remote together.

Plus it’s entirely open source. And good open source projects benefit from good documentation. Here is a five part series on how Turn Touch was built: https://medium.com/@samuelclay/everything-you-need-to-build-...

You seem to be confusing capital (the means of production) with money. Money can be used to buy capital (in a capitalist economy), and due to that is frequently used as a measure of the quantity of capital in such an economy, but is not the same thing as (or even a subset of) capital.
