> A free market is the natural way to allocate scarce resources

Capitalism didn't invent the market, trade predates agriculture. And there's hardly anything natural about a system where every individual is incentivized to screw over others.

>It is easy to say "allocate to those in need first" but who decides

There's _literally_ centuries of thought put into how to allocate resources outside of capitalism. I can't explain them in sufficient detail in a HN comments section, but you can start with the Conquest of Bread.

>Yes there are other possible systems but I don't think any of them have been remotely as sucessful overall as capitalism.

Success by what measure? And defined by who? Because capitalism's measures of "success" are often flawed and often more evident of its failings than its success.

And if you're going off of metrics like life expectancy, Cuba has the USA (and many other capitalist countries) beat.

And alternative systems have largely been successful, especially when you consider how actively capitalist forces sabotaged them. The USSR pre and post Stalin was extremely prosperous and the fall of the USSR has only left piles of human missery. Don't forget the US actively prevented the Communist Party from winning elections in former Soviet Bloc countries.

>There is a natural equilibrium found in a free market. Those who can produce cheaper and better quality make money.

Those who can produce profit make money. That is often not cheaper (when you account for externalities) or better quality.

I saw your comment, liked the idea / design of your site, and signed up since we're in need of designers.

Some feedback:

- There's no way to see full resolution designs. Looking through the blog where your portfolio links to, there are _some_ samples, but some are pixelated and low-res.

- After signing up there's only a link to the customer portal via email, but there's no way to submit a design order nor are there any instructions on how to do so.

- I've been billed for a subscription, but no services have been or began to be rendered. Since I haven't submitted any design requests or any services have started, this is disappointing.

- The billing invoice is really confusing. I signed up for one month, but see two line items and "MANYPIXELS SPECIAL OFFER (2 for 1)" and two invoice line items for "PAID" and "ATTEMPTING"

I assume that since this is still a young product and you're still building the business out; however, I would expect the main site, manypixels.co, to know I've registered, be able to show me some information about my design request, and to download completed assets from it.

Looking forward to using the product!
Ah yes - the scourge of society - the empty house, the misallocated resource, the malinvested fund.

If imperfect utilization of resources is is a cancer, what words do you reserve for war, genocide, or starvation?

Many many many things worse in this world than a confusing legal battle over an old home. No systems are perfect, but free markets sure are pragmatic!
GP was worried about problems that unionization can help to tackle, if only to counter the massive power imbalance between the owners of capital and the workers.

As for remote work: I’m 100% good with that, but I also believe people shouldn’t be constrained from living in the general area they would like to if they have the means. Also , a lot of people simply don’t like remote work in the first place, and there can also be similar wage depression effects (and other political issues) that can make it a less-than-ideal situation
This article doesn't quite make sense to me. It keeps confusing per capita with overall size. Like the old joke goes, America has more people per capita.

Going by the same logic, can we say that India is more developed than Singapore? And all the small anecdotes showing developed status such as that GIF of Shanghai growing or skyscrapers in Chinese cities are misleading and pointless. You could take similarly modern photos in cities of developing countries all over the world. That doesn't make any of them any more developed.

And statements like these are patently absurd: "But few of them other than China have produced companies with enough money and ambition to put one of their products in the hands of Iron Man and have ads splashed all over soccer stadiums at the World Cup". Most developing countries are home to large corporations as well. Burger King is Brazilian and I'm sure it has placed ads in many prominent events. Does this mean that Brazil is suddenly no longer a developing nation?

And the last part about how a country cannot be classified into developing or developed status because of inequality makes absolutely no sense at all. Sure Shanghai is developed compared to Yunnan. But that's not the point. The point is that as a whole, China is still very poor. As long as a large part of the country is poor and in need of modern infrastructure, it is developing. As compared to countries like Japan where almost EVERY part of it is developed. That's the whole point.

The US created the rules of WTO. Now it wants to change the rules when it thinks it is not winning by resorting to semantic games like these.
They're probably happy they can put food on the table. Actors for ads are not really at the top of the food pyramid.

"When built right, they create a reinforcing cycle: Their products get better, allowing them to collect more data, which allows them to build better models, making their products better, and onward. "

And this is why the current business-landscape seems to be more and more monopolized the further time goes on. Giants like Amazon, Google, Netflix, Facebook have just such a huge advantage due to their access to billions of datapoints, making it increasingly diffcult for a new competitor to disrupt the market.

I don't know what the solution here is (obviously a hands-off approach will not work). Maybe the data itself should be made public (communistic data?).
I once saw a Microsoft Cloud poster in a train station that did claim they were curing cancer. I'd rather be the Huawei model than the designer of that poster.
Yeah exactly. I don't understand why they wanted the scheduler to be written in Python, since the scheduler should be decoupled from the jobs they are running anyway.
There's literally centuries of thought on leftist alternatives. I can't sufficiently explain them in a HN comment. But The Conquest of Bread is a good place to start.
Remember, the engineers who work on the top-tier SV firms will also be going offshore. With that talent pool abroad, many more offshore projects than now will be successful.

Also, even now India exports $100B+ worth of software services to US. It is not as if every project offshored is producing "terrible results".

I think most of the people doing this are in India, where US 50c for a couple hours translates well enough. (Completely naive about the truth of the situation though.)
And much of those things are part of, and often actively caused by, capitalism, including war and starvation.

The legal battle over some obscure bit of private property is not the worst bit of capitalism, I didn't say it was. But it's an absurdly obvious example of how capitalism is a failed system.

I run a few blogs for a couple of pretty big Authors (not GRRM big, but still top 5 in Amazon for their categories).

For years now, I've been suggesting to not have comments on the blog, and just have a link to their email saying something like "Want to discuss this? Send me an Email, I'd love to chat!". Every single one of them prefers this method, and has said it creates a much more valuable conversation 1-on-1 with the person, rather than the exposed public sharing of an open comment section. One of the authors actually came up with the idea, and I now love it too.

A few others ask for comments as normal, but want people to sign up, and be approved. WP has a nice feature for this where people can sign up + comment in a single go, then the admin can approve that comment, which also approves them to post in the future.

Imagine users table, then you have to schedule this kind of altering outside business hours... which impacts devs (they have to stay late and/or come early) and business potentially, it has to wait till next day to have a feature delivered.

All these are trade-offs and everyone decides what is more important for them.
> As far as I know, there's no way to get my dog's photo removed from Tumblr or get the hateful reblogs taken down.

I've been waiting for the GDPR to destroy them for this, it's easily the biggest abuses I can think of. Your dogs case might not be that big of a deal but many people have put up some very explicit material of themselves and I doubt they are aware that anything reblogged is still on the site.

When browsing the more explicit info it looks like 90% of the content comes from now deleted accounts, so they're in a position where compliance would destroy a major chunk of their traffic.

Not a huge loss for the world though, the UI is the worst I've come across. It takes some spectacularly bad design to make a blogging platform that doesn't work well with tabs.

How do Dockerfiles work if you aren't using Docker?

Is there another way to define what the container should look like?
I wouldn't go so far to call it a mess but there is some truth to it. Naively, one might expect the following use cases:

- test-drive even the most complex deployments on your laptop

- spin up all the cool admin tools you ever wanted without wasting months of precious life time

- reproducible setups

- everything is always up to date

But as you say, caching is at best in a mediocre state. If you indeed want to run heavy-weight servers (like ELK), be ready to have a Terabyte space just for images unless you want to GC all the time when tweaking the configuration.

Also the laptop thing doesn't work unless you either have a very beefy machine or just work with very lightweight software. In reality Docker can be used for these use cases:

- Test-driving some heavy weight or complex server software

- CI to some degree

I'm starting to think good old Unix tools in combination with automation tools like Chef, Ansible, ... are the way to go - or even just plain .deb files...
Yep, I've studied this in great detail as I was very personally affected by it: it's always the same people who were the root cause of this. Sun Microsystems was the only company which stuck to its guns and continued with UNIX, sometimes in direct competition with the Microsoft corporation, because the engineers fought for their life's work like crazy, ultimately resulting in illumos today, so it lives on.

Scott McNealy, bless his heart, was the only executive openly willing to testify in the case against Microsoft versus NetScape: none of these other "executives" had the balls to testify for fear of making Bill Gates angry.

It was always the same set of people hopping companies, selling their bullshit and ruining them. Now we have an inferior operating system on inferior hardware, total chaos in virtualisation and cloud, low salaries and bad working conditions, in good part thanks to them ruining these UNIX companies.
I don't think lowering their cost base is what investors want...

Wow, I'd never realized that.

I wonder whether Google greenlighted significant investment into Kubernetes because they saw Docker Inc as a threat to Google Cloud and wanted to kill it early.

It's not precisely the same playbook as Embrace, Extend, Extinguish and it's been played out significantly less evilly (is that a word?) and more openly, but, well, they embraced Docker, extended it with K8s and are now well on the path towards "extinguish".

> Where is this new belief that "Citizenship" is a concept that needs to be blown up coming from?

My guess is this being a counter reaction to today's "build a wall and screw the others" mentality displayed in politics.

I do understand people are tribal. I also care more about people closer to me. But nowadays our lives are highly interconnected and profit off each other, thus i need those to do well as well. The problem is overcoming the prisoners dilemma of short term tribal benefits vs long term global benefits. The focus on citizens over others seems a obstacle to that.

Especially these days, where those "others" seem to be a great political scapegoat for all the other problems slowly breaking down the fabric of our society.

POST-ELECTION AUDITS
I was originally accepted and then got the second mail about the mistake and it being opened up.

This may sound sour but it’s just some honest feedback, even if it’s bitter to swallow. For an accelerator that prides itself on grooming some of the world’s best in technology this is a trivially amateur mistake that just shouldn’t have happened. There should have been a double check process for the notifications. Any other company would have been lynched on HN.

Saying you’re opening it up is a popular response but talk is cheap. It’s easy to make it sound like it’s a better thing but the reality is it’s a devalued experience for those originally chosen. Both in terms of advisor bandwidth and the quality signalling of being selected. Any company who partakes in this course is now not considered special at all. YC took the easy road and sold out a pound of their credibility for that but that’s their prerogative.

So I won’t be participating because of this as time is precious and it’s no longer worth it for where I’m at but good luck to the others who still do. Respect to everyone who breaks out of the conventional lanes to try and make the world a better and more exciting place.

I'm with you here.

The problem is that you look like someone who has done their research, is knowledgeable and self aware, and trying to (seemingly successfully) address a problem.

Lots and lots of people are nothing like that. They just want to get high. Escape reality at all costs, no matter the damage to themselves or others.

This isn't the drugs' problem or fault, obviously. Those people will use alcohol and other means to get fucked up and they will obtain the drugs they want illegaly anyway.

THE THING IS: While it's illegal to get those drugs, society can demonise those people and politicians can run with that as their platform.

Should drugs be made legal, all it will take is one idiot killing themselves or others while on drugs and suddenly it's the drugs' fault again, and the next politician running with a 'tough on drugs' stance will win.

People will look for blame and they will not do so rationally.

Self-driving cars will be dragged through the press for every accident there is, even if they are 10,000x less likely to crash. People are afraid of flying. Videogames are the reason for killing sprees, etc. etc.

That should have happened with all UNIX vendors but it didn't because the managers believed that they could charge premiums. They managed to brainwash even their engineers so they couldn't see the danger. I used to argue not only with Sun salesmen about this, but even the engineers would defend the price premiums.

We all know how that ended. I have the curse of being right about the wrong thing.
