In school I was interested in debate until I learned some of the rules, then I lost all interest. I expected to find a contest to effectively communicate and apply facts, but I found the opposite - a contest to be better at twisting, denying, or just ignoring facts. An effective debater is more likely to deceive me, not educate me.

I've not looked into it since high school, so I sometimes wonder if I misjudged, but links like that wikipedia one make me think I correctly avoided it.

>It is incorrect to assert that the employees are creating all the value created by a company.

This wasn't asserted, so it isn't really worthwhile to argue against it. Obviously other stakeholders can participant in value generation, including by providing influxes of capital.

Obviously employees are going to generate more value than they capture on the whole; if they didn't, the firm would crater over time.

The key here is the proportion.

Notabug.io is doing good work in this area. It's a reddit-alike with a distributed architecture. It has federated nodes hosting the website but also the in-browser client distributes posts p2p between nodes in the federation. Additionally, voting is proof of work based.

It's the early days now and the lens/filter system for individual users hasn't rolled out yet but the idea and implementation are far ahead of anything else I know about.

The really scary part of this is how appears that they apparently run safety critical updates trough this same crappy system. If someone manages to slip in a modification that bricks Teslas or worse, makes them do quick left turn in in the morning rush hour, they can sink the company.

There are lots of people with motivation to pull it off. Either for money or for some political reason nothing to do with Tesla.

Tesla is not alone. Hardware companies in general don't think about software security at all. They are security nightmares waiting to happen.

I'm a Caucasian American whose family has no records of where we came from, not even where in the US my ancestors lived before they moved to the farm in middle of no where. My parents grew up on farms where the food they grew was the food they ate, and while my own childhood wasn't improvised (probably upper working class, if that's a thing), a lot of OP's post resonates with me.

For example the following feels like it was describing my own childhood.

If they really wanted to address the issue in a transparent way, why not conduct some independent research and release results to the public? E.g. an anonymous survey of a representative sample of warehouse workers.

A birth rate that is basically replacement (ie ~2 children per couple) is not a "Ponzi scheme". It's not contributing to population growth. The US and most other industrialized nations have negative population growth, once immigration is removed from the equation. And this low birth rate is an observed consequence of increasing income. It doesn't require western standards of living, either. Vietnam has a birth rate of less than 2.

You don't need to coerce the population. You just need to lift them out of extreme poverty.

As for a massive burst in productivity - that's already happened and is continuing. The Internet is making the world's knowledge freely available to everyone. What does that do for productivity?

I've been on a job search with the goal of negotiating for a 4 day work week. I went through a platform and ended up getting 4 offers, but none of them went for my counteroffer of 4 days a week with less salary.

What does it take to find a company willing to do this? I'm a very competent engineer (got promoted to team lead at my current gig), and to me it seems like an opportunity for companies to get a good engineer on the cheap. Obviously they don't see it that way.

Where should I look for companies that might be willing to do 4 days?

AK-47 maker Kalashnikov has built a retro-styled EV
My apologies if I misunderstood, but your use of the term "extraction" implied (to me at least) that money accruing to shareholders was being taken out of value produced solely by employees.

I agree that the key is the proportion. One way to think about this is to imagine if one of the employees in question quit and started operating independently. How much $ could they make? If it's more than they made while working for the company then the proportion taken by shareholders might indeed be too high. But if it is not more, then you've got a hard hill to climb when making your argument that the proportion is significantly off.
Even if it was free, the ability of the non nobles to provide for themselves as they don't have a family to live off of is something they really should take into account when pursuing a degree.

These seem like concerns that GraphQL backend implementations could address. With sufficient limitations on things like query size, nesting depth, and number of entities requested, it seems like you could have reasonable confidence that no pathological queries are valid.

Security doesn’t seem like a problem unique to GraphQL. Traditional REST APIs also need to be just as careful about authentication and access control.

Mildly hijacking this thread... A few months back I investigated SIP as a replacement for skype, discord, whatsapp etc. It seemed a very insecure protocol: If I have an account on server A, and someone else has an account on server B then a user on server B can call me but neither my client nor my server will verify with server B that the caller is who they say they are.

The email ecosystem had the same problem where anyone could send an email from any address but managed to solve it by adding new standards on top of old ones to verify senders. I hope something similar can happen for SIP.

I completely disagree. I grew up as the outsider in the south - liberal ideology, atheist, etc. Through the Clinton, Bush, and Obama eras it was No Big Deal. I'd have spats with friends and neighbors, and they'd end friendly. In South Carolina I went from being called the "n-lover whiteboy" to convincing my white friends that my black friends are just as cool, and have good BBQs. We'd all disagree with eachother, but it'd be respectful. Online and off. This is when Facebook/Myspace is just coming out, and "normies" are learning about interacting online, and about how easy it is to forget about the face on the other side of the screen. Even there it wouldn't flare out too horribly.

Something's different, these last few years. Sometime around the tail end of the Obama era is when I began noticing it, that it wasn't a "political disagreement," it was a fundamental inability to reconcile values. It was "freedom of speech vs political correctness," it was "nazis vs antifa," it was "black lives matter vs all lives matter." People getting mass-defriended on facebook, me being mocked by my southern friends for my liberal values (that are the same as they've always been). Things have gotten far more divisive, and if I had to make a guess, I blame the political organizations paying trolls to disseminate divisive fake information across the internet, and prominent politicians engaging in disgusting divisive language (Duterte, Le Pen, Trump, Netanyahu, Erdoğan, ISIS high-production-videos).
It may not be as crazy as it sounds, since these mostly look like scaled up drones to support the weight of passengers, but the practicality of it is still up in the air.
I don't think the rework rate is a big deal for the customer. Ultimately manufacturing is about increasing the yield rate so that costs are lowered, because rework is expensive. But if you can make money with lots of manual rework on every product, it's no big deal. Something to improve next quarter.

I have so many electronic devices, from cheap to expensive, that have some passive component manually bodged on somewhere. They work fine. It just means that paying someone to rework 1000 boards was cheaper than throwing the boards away and spinning up Revision B immediately. It's not a big deal. Waste is worse than a product that is imperfect immediately off the assembly line.

Leads me to two possible conclusions

1) Facebook gets a free pass to ignore the law because 2bn members requires x million moderaters and that doesn't make economic sense, is hard etc.

Or

2) Facebook has to abide by the law, and since it doesn't make economic sense...Facebook closes.
Technically there used to be (still is?) such a thing as realtime Linux but not _for_ Linux (which you probably meant the userland?).

So I've never managed a subreddit or a Facebook page/group. I once managed a forum where my options were to Delete and Edit comments, but I only used Delete and would message the user why, it was a small forum though so if it were say, 3x or 5x larger I'm not entirely sure I could have moderated the entire thing by myself.

I'm explaining my ignorance on this subject matter because I want to ask you, and you seem like someone who might know, how do Reddit's and Facebook's tools compare? From my point of view, Reddit is pretty well moderated, each sub having its own rules that at least in the subs I frequent, are actually fairly well moderated. They have tools like automoderator and I've heard of subs I don't frequent preemptively banning users for having too much karma in subs they dislike. Probably overkill, but given the types of communities they are it seems to work for their purposes regardless of whether I agree with them or not.

If I look at a comment thread on Facebook, there doesn't really seem to be any kind of conversation happening, just "conversation". There's some basic threading now but even with that a Facebook "conversation" seems to just be one long string of human consciousness.

Now there is a difference in scale, Facebook has over a quarter of the Earth's population on its platform. That said, there is also a difference in scale between Facebook's resources and Reddit's, so is there some reason they choose not to develop new and better mod tools? Or are their mod tools cutting edge already and the percentage of humanity on their platform is just so large that even with cutting edge mod tools it just isn't enough and throwing more money at it doesn't make it any less hard?
