I'm no Marxist, but capital is about private ownership of core natural resources and means of production. We use money to allow that ownership to spread around in complex ways.

I agree with and accept your points about debts and liabilities etc., and they don't seem to conflict with what I was saying otherwise.

Maybe we just agree and are clarifying semantic terms…
Not sure whether Slack communities are less or more active, but what I'm sure is that chatting hardly works as a means to convey knowledge. It's neither rewarding nor persistent. I mean, you spend your time for free answering some (usually) easy to google questions and soon your answer is lost in the countless logs and you have no way to refer to it later like it never happened.

All popular and large Slack communities (the same is true for IRC channels) I used to be a member of are very much alike – hundreds of people just sit there busy with their lives just in case somebody would post something interesting, and just occasionally there're small bursts of activity to educate another newbie who did @here in the channel. And even when (oh, miracle) there does occur some conversation you realise you have no time to follow it as it happens and later you're just to lazy to find it and try to make some sense out of it. So, first you turn off notification distractions. And second, after a while, you realise you haven't poked there for weeks and finally just remove it with no regret.

The problem isn't someone stealing the physical key - yes, if someone does that, they can use it. But, if its your key, and you no longer have it, you'll notice that and can take action. A bigger problem is if someone briefly takes the physical key, clones the digital key, and then returns it to you. Then, you have no idea that its been compromised.

If your use case is that you want them to be secure from a wealthy nation-state - well, thats probably a tall order. What you are probably most interested in is that the cleaning person in your hotel can't clone your key. The thing with digital security, though, is that it real hard / impossible to really define intermediate security levels - what is possible for a nation state to do, may be only a research paper or code leak away from everyone else being able to do.

So, I'd really hope that any serious security key would be designed to defend against physical attacks.
Let's say you're a company with a serious PR problem about the working conditions in your warehouses.

You set up 15 Twitter accounts claiming to be employees of your warehouses. You make sure the accounts are laughably bad at concealing the fact that they are shills, with cookie-cutter bios and responses that are obviously canned talking points. This ensures that the accounts are discovered and written up by various publications, and the articles widely shared.

The articles, while laughing at how transparently phony the accounts are, inevitably mention that you are now offering tours of your warehouses (which makes you sound trustworthy since you're not hiding anything), and embed the Tweets that say you pay more than other companies in your industry and offer medical benefits. (Since this information is falsifiable (capable of being proven false, but not necessarily false) it's credible even though it's coming from a shill account.)

You've probably not made anyone's opinion of you worse (you look more stupid than malevolent), but you've gotten your message in front of eyeballs and it might make some people think better of you.
My 5 year old kid is addicted to minecraft and there is no way to prevent violence (you can always keep killing animals even in Creative + Peaceful mode). The problem is that 5 year old have little context on consequence and they really get intrigues in exercising new power they have. I'd like a pre-schooler mode which actively discourages any violence. May be if you try to kill something, an alien would descend and take away all your assets. So only thing you can ever do in Minecraft is just build something :). If someone can add this feature, it would be AWESOME!
> Its art will never appeal to the traditional critic who worries more about the statement of art than it’s artifact.

That didn't stop the Smithsonian from trying to take it "seriously"[0], nor the Art World from objecting to that[1]. Perhaps weirdly, I applaud both things, because as far as I can tell you're right about what the point of BM art is.

(I am one of the few? many? people to have never attended Burning Man, but to have contributed to its art. I'm probably biased and ill-informed, but I like your take on it.)

> Child labor just disappeared on it's own right?

No. It took capitalism—more precisely, the resulting accumulation of human wealth and technology—for child labor to disappear. It disappeared when it became economically unnecessary for children to work:

http://atlanticsentinel.com/2011/01/did-government-end-child...

I am continually surprised by the number of people who seem to be under the impression that the default state of nature is one of abundance rather than scarcity. Why do you think children had to work in the first place?
Building more luxury condos doesn't really help anyone if they're just bought up by foreign investors as speculative investments and safe havens.
Burning Man was a once in a lifetime thing for me. I heard it was like a massive rave, and it was better than that! It definitely is a better fit for the party people than I thought. It’s a no fear environment that is generally safe. Plus it’s desert camping, so it’s logistically a blast as well.

For people who don’t party, they get a chance to decompress and live at a different pace.

As an old school massive promoter in SF/SoCal and CO, it’s great it comes back year after year! Time to one up the previous!

This was quite frankly astonishing. Given that so much of our pensions and wealth are tied up in the markets, it's astonishing to hear that every Tom, Dick and Pavel is massively invested in destabilising the whole thing. And these are only the guys who got caught! What about the ones who aren't.
Are there technical reasons that device (well, maybe not quite that blue-sky-ish, but the general idea) can't be your phone?

People can continue to use businesses that harm them if they have no leverage or have compromised judgment. Pay day loan operations with extortive interest rates, opioid manufacturers, casinos. All have some legitimate customers that derive real benefit, but likely more that are harmed.
stocks would probably crash if this happened due to a sharp increase in the costs of capital and decrease in cash flow profitability.
stock grants and stock bonuses are very different. you are conflating issues.

lets talk about stock grants, yes, stock grants are dollar denominated and vest. If you get a $100K stock grant that vests over 4 years for a stock currently worth $10, then you have 10,000 shares. The stock goes up to $70 and you still have 10,000 shares, and some of that growth was from buy backs, then your $700,000 isn't negligible at all.

I just described Square.

> 2. Amazon has developed or is paying for third party software that lets their PR people quickly manage and create activity on multiple Twitter accounts from a central interface.

I feel like this would be infinitely cheaper, more quantifiable and easier to set concrete milestones/targets for their campaigns than telling employees to tweet on Amazon's behalf and hoping for the best.

All it takes is for one of these ambassadors to get fired/quit and their pro-Amazon platform becomes an anti-Amazon soapbox.
I'm an AR believer once you get like some nice 1st person Google Maps navigation etc in a small package. Until then it'll be clunky.
> "ruggedized" ... [is] a made up word that Amazon uses

I'm pretty sure "ruggedized" is a common term for pseudo-milspec computer hardware. You see it on the marketing of regular ol' external USB hard disks quite a lot. If Microsoft and/or Google had a product of the same type, they'd very likely use the same adjective to describe it.
> I'm surprised yubikey hasn't gotten cheaper even with companies like google using it.

The cost is probably much cheaper, but there is no reason for them to lower prices when there isn't really major (popular) competition.

I think once Google releases their key for general sale, Yubi will be forced to drop prices to compete.
If you're accusing them of lying, that's fine. But what you claimed was that these are just talking points "instead of" fixing the issues. So, they are claiming they fixed the issues. Are you claiming they are lying about that?

I own two, and use them regularly. They're not a gimmick, but they do have lots of room for improvement.

They're very inefficient. Perhaps the 980 with the camera is better at mapping, but my 880 and an ancient 551 feel like they take hours to clean a single room. Granted, I can do something else entirely while it wastes time, but it feels weird. (I simply take them from room to room and lock them in for an hour or two, and then move them. I don't want to waste all day with the bots cleaning my house, and I've learned I can't trust them not to get into trouble by themselves.)

Also, they're not the most powerful vacuums. They're fine for regular maintenance cleaning, but they can't replace a regular vacuum.

Now if only I can find a robot to dust...

> We use money to allow that ownership to spread around in complex ways.

Yes, we agree. My point is that "private ownership" is just another way of saying that people have accumulated sovereign debt. There's no reason the sovereign must issue these debts by the way, the sovereign could directly seize control of all assets and try to satisfy all wants itself, but these days everybody pretty much agrees the sovereign should issue debt and not try to do everything itself.

When it comes to growth, (the original question, "Where does the capital come from that flows in to savings?"), all of the debt in the system (particularly the private debts that are created when capitalists borrow and lend money) must be leveraged off existing stock of sovereign debt. If there was no sovereign debt there would literally be no money (in any form) to invest or borrow.

building more luxury condos means that the rich foreign investors who are looking for speculative investments can stay out of mid-market housing meant for mid-income homeowners, and mid-income homeowners can stay out of low-income housing meant for low-income homeowners.
Lol. Fair. Not most things.
This is a can of worms. Experts will tell you that iPhones are quite secure, and there is a lot of hardware security going into making them secure. It doesn't follow that any piece of hardware you build with L4 and a cheap ARM core will protect keys, such that losing sight of your token for a couple minutes won't mean you have to ditch the keys it stored.

They clearly intend it to be very narrow it seems.

Can you point out any way it will restrict me or anyone else from using it internally?

BTW: It may seem I think this is all good.

I do not think that.

I do think the cases I've seen so far can be reasonable.

The bigger and more problematic picture I think I see is:

- if every project and its dog applies this that will hurt me if I rely on cloud hosted services

- if the big actors think this is a good idea and start applying thos or something worse to their currently open source software, restricing competition on hosting.

- hollowing out of the open source movement.
> But he did make that argument in the article

No, he actually didn't. He did not articulate the idea that buybacks cause an increase in overall shareholder remuneration. You read that into what he said, but he didn't actually say it.

> I'm not saying the argument is right or not. I'm saying your outright dismissal of the entire premise as garbage and a meme not worth considering is wrong.

I stand by it. The argument is terrible and financially illiterate, even if you grant him the implied argument you make for him.
> Also, the author seems to be a bit on the Freud-is-dead wagon

There is very good reason from that. The contemporary dominant paradigms covering the theoretical ground once dominated by e.g. Freud and Jung can be found under the heading of Cognitive Science[0], where Freud and his legacy of ideas are completely absent to my knowledge. Modern clinical psychology, which I don't know as well, seems to have branches which still employ Freudian ideas—but my understanding is that they are outliers at this point, and that more typically modern clinical psychology is rooted in theoretical results from Cognitive Science.

Used to do Android dev - if you're referring to CLEAN as in the specific architecture I believe it's way overkill for mobile apps unless you're doing something truly complex.

Most apps simply present content from an API and you can simply use an MVP/MVC architecture.

Imo the only libraries you'd need are for http (retrofit), possibly image loading (glide), and caching (disk lru cache).

You can also ask on Reddit.com/r/androiddev - lots of great people there.

Fwiw, I've mostly moved to flutter for mobile but it is definitely not feature complete.

You seem very disturbed about a hypothetical situation you made up.
The same could be argued for any number of companies that don't "do all the work." For example, Apple doesn't manufacture phones; Nike doesn't build their shoes.
In economic theory, every trade is beneficial for both parties. You have too many cows, but need money and I have money and am hungry - you sell me a cow and we are both better off.

Reality is a little tougher. You and I both run hedge funds. One of us thinks Amazon will go up. The other down. One sells to the other. In a month, only one of us has made money. Exactly what the other missed out on making.

Conversely, I sell shoes. You sell supply chain software. You sell me the software for a million dollars. I save 20 million in costs. I want you to improve the software, so I tell the world about my savings. You sell to ten other customers, and I save another 20 million with improved software. Your investors make money, as do your employees. We grew the pie and we all win.

I don’t know what the world is truly like, but I prefer pretending it’s the latter.

Have you tried redirecting the habit? While changing at the core is ultimately the goal, redirecting actions into a set of more neutral ones might help.
For example, having a bracelet that you can play with, or even in some cases pull on to feel it snap back in place.

It's very hard to redirect all the activity that our mind produces at all times, I have very similar issues and I understand that too.

To turn that around, RFPs themselves are an example of populism, where a meta-decision (the algorithm to choose the winner) has been drafted to play well to voters' ears, rather than to actually accomplish anything. The decision-making process has been corrupted by political pandering.

"Defeating an RFP", then, is frequently (behind closed doors) agreed to be in the best interest of good government. A chosen expert—despite the bad optics—can do better (usually much better) than the RFP process.

I'm not sure "corruption" is the right word for this, since the goal here isn't to line anyone's pockets, but actually to choose the consequentially optimal, highest-ROI option. It's not quite "two wrongs making a right"... maybe "three lefts making a right?"
