> Just ask Venezuela how monetary production with collapsed supporting production works out.

Yeah, this isn't how it works at all. Not surprising that people like you don't grasp very basics but try to think this through carefully:

Governments can and do regularly summon and dismiss debts out of thin air. It's the very definition of sovereign.

Venezuela's problems, like all sovereign debt problems before and since (see Germany, Zimbabwe, Rome), are due to its external dependencies. It has external debts. That means it participates in relationships where it is not a sovereign. Do you really think if Venezuela didn't need to import certain items (and therefore didn't need to borrow dollars) it would have any problems at all? And so no, "monetary power" actually has nothing to do with production capacity.
I believe Snowden shined a light at some of the disinformation programs that are operated by the govt. I know for a fact these types of campaigns exist on a regular basis on a grand scale.
> They're already trying to control the UX with the TV app and are offering companies better rev share rates to do the integration work.

To be fair, that’s not the only reason the TV app was created. Most notably:

– Users want a single place to keep track of all the shows they’re following across all services. Streaming services weren’t coming up with a cooperative solution for this, so Apple did it instead.

– Plainly put, a large chunk (if not most) streaming service apps suck. The TV app adds value by letting users skip the choppy, inconsistent, badly organized, lowest-bidder browsing UIs so many streaming service apps have and get straight to watching this week’s episode.

I like the TV app and wish it did more. I wouldn’t be bothered if I never had to open a service-specific app again. All I need is a clean, frustration free way to browse the libraries of the services I subscribe to.

> let's talk about taking the entire web back to 1996.

Let's not, that's a tangent. The original statement to which you replied was this:

> A website from 1996 will look much the same in a modern version of Chrome. Good luck with your SDKs.

That remains true, despite the advances you listed. http://www.thekrib.com/ is an example from 1994 which still looks like it renders about the same. It doesn't have the bells and whistles, but the point is, _what was written remains available._ Interactive applications tracking a moving SDK cannot be left for future generations, they have to be maintained. Putting non-interactive content into those types of applications is forcing a maintenance burden forevermore.

Twelve is used because it has certain properties of divisibility that make life easier for the musician.

Not true. It's used because (in short) when you try to construct a scale from octaves and fifths, finding a certain number of octaves that are close to another number of fifths (which comes to finding continued fraction approximants to 117/200, i.e. log 3/log 2 - 1) there are very few contenders, and only 12 notes per octave has neither too few nor too many for our tastes. It's based on the coincidence that 7 octaves is very nearly 12 fifths, i.e. 2^7~(3/2)^12.

Also, the idea that symmetry sounds nice is intuitively appealing, but nothing sounds better to us, more pleasing, than the (highly irregular) major scale, or scarier, more ominous than diminished and augmented chords - musically, a square and equilateral triangle. Or more disorienting than a whole tone scale - a hexagon.

That was not motivated at all by the open source movement.

Poor article - of course it exists. The right answer is at the end, you say 大好き usually in Japanese, nobody uses 愛してる, its too formal and not commonly used.

I've personally never struggled so hard to recover from anything. I couldn't do it justice in a short post. Lost 75 pounds in a 45 days. Heartrate over a 100 for a month.

Here is a link to another nature article on it: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-03267-5
In English, we have a lot of confusion because the word love is both a very and a noun. The verb describes acting in a deeply caring fashion. The noun describe a feeling.

This is why we can have song lines like "Are you going to stay with the one who loves you? Or are you going back to the one you love?"

Very often, when someone says "I love you" they mean "I have strong feelings because you are good to me." They don't necessarily mean "So I intend to be good to you."

It's often a pretty parasitic pronouncement.

Kind of to a point.

People get bathroom breaks, but those count against your rate, and people do sometimes get written up for taking them, although that's as much a matter of Amazon encouraging ruthlessness in management as anything. I know of one anecdotal story of a worker who was apparently written up for the time it took them to clean up after their own nosebleed.

In the FC where I work, the temperatures are definitely not pleasant, but HR insists we simply aren't aware of how perfect the climate control is.

You quoted half my sentence, making it much easier to refute my argument.

I think it is called a strawman.

Hah! It's SO ironic in this case. :)

My hyperbolic-seeming opening line was actually emphasizing that it's not even hyperbole. AND I CAN'T EDIT to emphasize that I was NOT being sarcastic! (I realize now people probably guessed I was sarcastic when I was actually sincere).

The classic models of economics really are that bad, no exaggeration. The post I was replying to was both correct and truly understated.

I think the tragedy of the commons is just an example of a whole class of similar phenomena that exist and that classic economic models ignore.

And you're plainly right about the "mass psychology" macro-level stuff, but that's also not the whole picture.

The core issue is that macro level phenomena are real. So much economics today actually claims that macro is nothing more than aggregate micro (and they get micro wrong too, with simplistic understanding of psychology when considered at all and so much else).

I heard this analogy from a friend (don't know the original source though): assuming we can understand macro by studying micro is like saying we can understand the behavior of a gas by simply tracking the isolated locations and movements of single molecules!
I stayed at this location last January - https://www.sonder.com/destinations/chicago/Handsome-2BR-nea...

It photographed really well which is why I stayed there, but the bedding was terrible. The worst of any Airbnb experience and it’s part of why I generally choose hotels for short stays now.

This rental had cheap pillows, linens that felt like sand paper, and the comforter was bare sandwiched between a large sheet. Towels were tiny and cheap motel quality. I was really disappointed. Hopefully their other locations are better than this one. I personally wouldn’t go back.

I filled in their after-stay survey and never heard a response.

Do you see this as an inevitable "that's the way it is" part of how the peer review process works? Or as a flaw in the process? Or something in between.

(A deeply cynical and suspicious part of me suspects this is because the prime motivator for "peer reviewed journals" is to make Elsiver richer, and academic knowledge sharing and reputation building is just a side effect of that...)

First the requirements for installing it on Android phones is a lot less....

Android Requirements:

You Need Physical Access To Device For Install

Supports Android Versions (4.1 - 8.1+)

iOS Requirements:

If 2 factor is on you need physical access to device

iCloud login access is required

Then look at the features....

https://spyfone.com/features/

It says a lot about Android that anyone with physical access to an unlocked phone can put this type of spyware on it.

Even if someone does leave their iPhone unlocked long enough for someone to install the app, they still couldn't do it without authorization and even then you have to know the targets iCloud credentials and have physical access to the phone if it has 2FA.
This isn't limited to Amazon and Twitter. I see similar "pleasantries" posted about Netflix on Reddit.

Sure, because that's exactly what happened when unions gave us the the 5 day 40 hour work week and numerous other worker's rights, right? Child labor just disappeared on it's own right?

Social security, workplace safety, overtime ... all just magically appeared, correct?

Because maybe, again, just maybe, I'm being dense, but I don't think "skillsets" were ever a limiting factor for those who spearheaded unionization. "skillsets" are a facet of the bourgeoisie labor market, which I say as a firm capitalist. It's always been those at the bottom who have fought for worker's rights.

I wouldn't interpret "I adore you" to be the same thing as "I love you." Though a quick Google suggests that one definition of adore is love and respect deeply.

I just assume that the 1-3 hours a night I find to watch Netflix and scroll Reddit is the difference between me and those who hit front-page of HN. If I consistently used even half that time to hack around and learn new things it would really add up.

> Most things in life are win-lose — someone gains, and someone loses. But networks are one of the few things that are win-win.

That's one of the saddest things I've read all week, and I think profoundly wrong. Does one party or the other really lose in most things in life? Surely it must be the opposite - both parties in a voluntary transaction or interaction have gained something by it.

I once had a friend who explained a similar idea this way: "There is a fixed amount of wealth in the world. Whenever anyone gains wealth, it always means that someone else has to lose wealth."
They would reject the update that attempted to roll out that system.

Not interested, personally. I can only picture being made worse off by being in a union. Fortunately, it’s insanely difficult to get well-paid ambitious people to join a union, so there is little danger I’ll come closer to experiencing a tech workers union than reading about the idea in impractical internet comments.
Of late Amazon has been working hard internally to improve its company image.

> Currency in practice is our measure of capital, but it isn't inherently capital.

In fact it is the only real capital that exists. The rest is just leverage. In a real economy all debts must be settled with sovereign debt ie currency.

> The government could give everyone a trillion dollars, but whoever actually owns land and factories and natural resources will still be the people with capital.

You've fallen to our own confusion. This is the classic mistake of people who don't understand Marx: the mere presence of assets doesn't make you a capitalist. Everybody has assets. It is only the people with currency (more precisely, the people owed currency) that are capitalists because their assets are sovereign liabilities and therefore must be accepted for all debt settlements. The "inside economy" can actually grow as long as people accept the sovereign debt for payments. The only limit of this process are the sovereign's borders and the existence of foreigners who refuse to be paid with the sovereign debt.

This is important, particularly if you want to understand what's actually happening in China, where the entire system is driven by massive amounts of sovereign debt but the country as a whole has zero external debts (including its external assets). Growth, as the last forty years of China's history makes very clear, is not limited by any kind of exogenous investment. Countries don't need to borrow money to grow despite the narrative pushed by the global bankers.
> You seem to be suggesting that he license intended to only restrict sales of software/services which have no substantial source of value besides the upstream software, but that's not how it's actually written

As far as I understand the license clearly permits me to:

-Use the licensed software internally.

-Modify the licensed software.

-Share my modifications.

-Write software that connects direcly to the licensed software, with no restrrictions on my software (unlike AGPL)

-From this it follows that I can license my software that uses the licensed software any way I want.

-I'm not sure if I will be allowed to bundle the licensed software with my software,

-But it should be allowed to say that the user as to install the licensed software and run it for my software to work.

-Sharing the licensed software in a bundle (e.g. Linux distro) seems to be OK as long as I don't charge for it. This probably will need to be sorted out for Redhat etc.

Please correct me if any of the above is incorrect. I might have misunderstood it but this was my best understanding.

These lines are unhelpful and dreadfully misleading in this case. If savings always meant good investment, there'd nary be debt crises yet the history of capitalism is a history of debt crises. Saving is also not the same as spending because the person or group using the money has changed, the location has changed, the purchases have changed.

As for good and bad investment, let's take an absurdist example for fun and clarification. A savings bank lends individuals' savings to two farmers for their yearly crops.

Farmer A plants a 10,000 seeds of barley, and his neighbor Farmer B plants what are essentially small stones, 10,000 sterile seeds (perhaps he's been duped by someone or by his own misguided ideas into believing that they're fertile).

Both farmers will spend the same on labor, water, perhaps the same on the seeds, and so on, so the savings will be turned into spending as Hazlitt says, but their harvests will clearly be different.
Farmer A will reap a growth in total value, while the planter of sterile seeds -- Farmer B -- has created no new value despite having spent the savings lent by the bank, which he now must repay. Because of his bad investment he can't repay the bank and must sell his farm.

If it turns out that many other farmers also planted these sterile seeds and can't repay their loans (other people's savings) the bank will default and great harm will be done to the community (who, if this is an idealized small and local economy, must also deal with a reduced supply of grains).

Instead of farmers planting sterile seeds, in China you have local governments planting sterile infrastructure projects and borrowing heavily to do so. The debt on these and other projects is mounting at an alarming rate. Why are these sterile seeds being planted? Because the easy infrastructure investments have already been made, and there is little other means to create 6% GDP growth without either increasing exports (ahem) or increasing demand, in other words increasing consumer spending so that savings could be invested in the creation of products and services to be sold to households rather than in sterile infrastructure projects.

The best explainer of this stuff that I know of is Michael Pettis, who teaches finance at Peking University.

I don't buy that argument. I have purchased Blu phones for under $50,yubikey nano cost me ~50. Plus,it gets even cheaper with mass production.

A cheap smartphone without radio,screen,large battery with a custom os and a usb connection would be an even cheaper phone. The only things a personal hsm would add might be nfc and hardware rng. I'm surprised yubikey hasn't gotten cheaper even with companies like google using it.
Corporations are owned by people. People own stock. People direct the corporation to buyback stock to raise the price of the stock so that they can sell their personal holdings of said stock to enrich themselves. All the board members of said companies own said stock, thus none of them would disagree with the move, because it enriches all of them.

It's like Congress agreeing to raise their own pay. Is it rational? Not really, but who among them, the people making the decision on government spending, would disagree with this move? Maybe one or two with principals, but not many.

EDIT: Is it rational for the sake of the overall system I mean. It's obviously rational from the perspective of those increasing their own wealth.
