> taking back the corporation

You mean like, giving the value created by the corporation back to those to whom its original assets belonged before its success, as a reward for prudent thinking? That sounds it will incentivize valuable investments! Does he have a proposed mechanism? /s

> Productivity in an advanced economy depends on the extent to which members of the labor force have the opportunity to engage in collective and cumulative learning over the course of careers that may span 40 years or more [and this is decreasingly the case].

An important trend to consider, but the causes are totally orthogonal to buybacks/dividends. Technology is moving faster, and skills emerge and obsolesce in different ways than in the halcyon Old Economy.

> It is unrealistic to assume that in a world of open-systems technologies and intense global competition the norm of a career with one company could, or should, be restored.

Hey, he said a correct sentence! Good job!

> And some of the funds made available by a buyback ban can flow to the government as tax revenues to enable it to invest in physical infrastructure and human knowledge that can underpin the next generation of innovation.

Ooh, ooh, here's an idea...let's pass the money back to the investors who will pass it on not to a company that's saying "we don't know what to do with this much money", but rather one that says something promising like, oh I don't know, "we're gonna invest in physical infrastructure and human knowledge that can underpin the next generation of innovation". (And let's tax some agreed-upon amount of economic activity and use it to fund things that are genuinely better undertaken by a government)
I hate them with a passion. I will never forget the late 80's, when a lot of German "cows" would wear them in combination with mini skirts, skirts in pink patent leather and in the whole country, women would put an emphasis on "not giving a shit" how they dressed, to demonstrate their "freedom from opression". 20 years later, the heels couldn't be high enough.
IRC isn't "dying off." Many (many) projects still use it as their main communication channel for developers/users.
For servers it depends. If you are going all-out, InspIRCd is what I roll. The only complaints I have with it are the massive config file (~2800 lines with the main config and the module config, more if you count the lesser files). The server for getting and going is UnrealIRCd, which is what I used to run. Solid and basic, just with a few less features.

For clients, I use Hexchat, which ill fight for as the best graphical client. The only thing mIRC has going for it is its legacy of scripts and people that still use it.
For command line clients, ircii and weechat are good, especially coupled with tmux. I don't use them, but the people that do love them.

Also, if you want a bouncer, ZNC is great. Would highly recommend if you have a free server with a stable connection.

Even as someone who hates typical definitions of professionalism, sitting in a kindergarten like room and having DNMs with my colleagues sounds like one of the least professional things I can think of.
Having built several HoloLens apps for clients, it can be super compelling with the right application design. It takes a lot of work, but it's possible to make an excellent experience. Not all types of experiences can be made excellent. But with that in mind, the incremental improvements over the HoloLens that Magic Leap represents should widen that box of "types of great experiences".

That, and the documentation is a lot better. HoloLens wasn't all that bad, but Magic Leap has really put a ton of effort into their tooling and docs.

Not even that. City governments so fetishize large, detached, widely-spaced two-story single-family houses that if you try to build anything else on 99.9% of streets, they handcuff you and haul you off to jail.
sure.... I still use it. But now IRC is much much more fringe, somewhat like usenet, ftp, telnet, etc is very fringe these days. It used to be like THE social networking tool. Somewhat like facebook. Maybe one day facebook too will be used by developers to communicate while everyone else is in virtual worlds
Doesn't make sense? Sure it does. Ticketmaster's sales team gets to go to venue and say "if you go with us, you can charge outrageous fees, pocket most of it, and we'll take all the blame".

You have to get there from the start; the app store has to be there from day one. Since that didn't happen on the desktop, it's pretty hard to retroactively introduce one (although Microsoft is trying hard).
Only people to blame for ballooning housing prices are the politicians who have purposefully implemented restrictive building codes to make sure housing goes as sky high as possible. The reason it is like that is because we are under the impression that if housing keeps increasing then home owners will be able to spend more.
My (half baked) analogy is a sealed fish tank half full of water. The water is the company's non-cash value and the air is its cash. Shares are imaginary vertical slices of cash and non-cash value.

A dividend "lowers the lid" of the fish tank. Some amount of air (cash) ends up outside the company, and is returned to each shareholder.

A buyback is the same thing, but first you tip the tank on its side before letting some air out. When the tank is on its side, some shares are "all cash" and the others are "all non-cash". Then you shrink the box by taking out some all-cash shares. Then you right the fishtank.
Isn't this really a kind of regulatory arbitrage? Hotels totally could buy up condominiums all over cities and then manage them centrally, but they're not allowed to do that. Airbnb gets away with it by distributing the liability and claiming plausible deniability; they're the Napster of hotel zoning.

Isn't Sonder just trying to slip in under the radar, the confusing ostensible aegis of people renting out their rooms temporarily, to do what Marriott can't do?
The book, "The Five Love Languages" answers the question extremely well. Anyone planning to get married should consider it mandatory reading.

Not too rare. Several channels are held to their project's Code of Conduct. And some of those CoCs require you to agree to use x-based pronouns when someone requests it, or else banned until you change your mind.
> Sorry but you have a very rosy view of the 1970s.

Who said pollution did not exist back in 1970. Just that it was more feasible to get stuff that you know that is not polluted. From local produce or farmed yourself.

> Air quality around the world is vastly superior to the 70s (people are still suffering because of it?

Oh yea? Can you provide some citations. By what factor have the number of automobiles multiplied?

> Your 4k TV today can still play Abba or boney M.

You are missing the point. The point is that the technology to consume art is irrelavant if the art produced is low quality in itself. I mean, where is M-tv today?

>There is also plenty of great music being produced now that can easily be found.

Oh yea? Again, where is M-Tv then? It's been ages since a new song have really captured my attention.
Minecraft is a wildly collaborative game. You are constantly talking, sharing and problem solving together. They could even be in the same room. I find it very hard to imagine that's not bonding just because it's on a screen.
This is great to know. I’m doing a big home remodel and ran CAT6 to my doorbell and have an unopened DoorBird just waiting to be installed in a few months. I love this idea!
Agree. Another solution is to encourage employers to relocate away from expensive cities. We need more tech companies going to Oklahoma or texas where land is cheap.
There are some hotels in my area that have apartments on the upper level that get service from the hotel.

I remember several years ago the NRA publicly declared they would become more active in conservative politics, that's when they went downhill in my book. They used to be single issue and not partisan, but they decided the 2nd amendment was a "conservative" issue. Maybe that's when the Russians got involved, I don't know.
> As to the rest, see the other replies: "I have and have always had good bargaining power" does not imply "I will always have good bargaining power". In fact, the belief that how things are now is how they always must be is one of the most basic economic mistakes a person can make.

But I didn't imply that. What I said was that it makes me happy to be in that position. Requirements may change in the future, but I am capable of change as well. Rather than invest in a union to protect me as I become obsolete, I'll invest in my own development to do my best to ensure that doesn't happen.

Programmers are hired without unions for a reason, not because nobody's thought of it yet. Unions are a last-resort crutch to prop up unsustainable employee-employer relationships. Nobody should want to transition from being beholden to no-one to owing their employment to both a union and a government. I could scarcely live with myself.
In this case, many does mean most.
I'm curious what peoples' objections to taxing pollution are.
I have a hen that has lived at least 6 years. At least where I live, the issue is them being killed off, not dying naturally. Also, if you have a large enough yard, they can walk around freely, just remember that they will take a dump anywhere they like, and I don't believe there is any way to stop that.
Aren't something like half of AirBnB rentals not owner-occupied? I had the distinct sense that a lot of landlords had found running an AirBnB more profitable
Right, they just require 15 years experience at other companies that won’t hire you without a college degree.

I mean, I don't know what the problems you had were.

I look at H1 like a loot box in a game like, I don't know, Team Fortress 2. Most of the time you get a bunch of lame stuff. Every once in awhile, no matter how you structure your program or how much you pay, you get an excellent bluebird bug. In a twist on how "real" loot boxes work, sometimes you get bullshit that wastes your time.

I wouldn't pay a lot of money for access to those loot boxes, but for what they are, they're fine, and I think H1 does a good job of presenting and managing it.

I am not a believer in the sales pitch that different bug bounty sites have materially different cohorts of testers. The people you really want to attract probably aren't affiliated with any particular bounty site.
Seems like there might be a loophole. Under this scheme, would the U.S. get any tax revenue from the profits of American companies owned by foreign investors?
Well that's not creepy at all. Tweets read like they're written by a PR agency. Never known a near-minimum-wage warehouse worker who answers tweets with turns of phrase like "On the contrary..."
It's very common in suburban homes to have both an unused guest bedroom and an unused dining room solely for the two times a year the owner entertains. Since this wasn't really logical in the first place I doubt more short-term rentals would make much difference.

Similar situation here, and I've done this oscillation from remote to in-office 4-5 times now. It's always a shock to realize how much time is consumed on the processes of being physically present in the office. After a little while, like everything else, you tend to forget. It's good to get scared straight periodically.

I've never had a spare bedroom for guests. I've known people who did. I saw them as unusually well off.

This is really fascinating. I want to know about the culture of the person who authorized this. They seemed to be lacking essential cultural norms for north america.

Some questions I'd start asking are:

-Have they ever been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder or some type of high functioning autism?

-Are they from a third world country? Do they lack social norms we'd typically associate with people's attitudes about working in a factory?

-This this real life?

It's such a damaged artifact of modern de-industrialization. I really need to know why this is a thing...

Yes, this. Childhood is fleeting. It's a cliche that you can't really appreciate until there's a big disparity between the age you feel like your kid should be and the age they actually are. It's crucial to capture those moments. We should all do more to ignore anyone who implies that the time would be better spent struggling against a compiler.

How precious can someone be that calling someone what they want to be called is a burden? Just... do it. They’re not asking you to attend a sensitivity course, or buy into anything, it’s just a pronoun request, and what’s the harm? If someone wants me to call them a flying squirrel I will, and I’ll try my best to be both consistent and respectful about it, because why not?

The only time I think it’s fair to draw a line is if someone tries to dictate how you refer to other people, which is frankly none of their business. These CoC are really just “don’t be a dick, respect each other,” written down. If that’s burdensome to someone, that person has issues. If calling what you believe to be a “he” a “she” is really that hard, then that is definitively your problem.

The US already has hotels that specialise in apartment-type experiences. A couple I've stayed in for >1 week stays: Residence Inn in Seattle, and Staybridge Suites in Sunnyvale.

The main difference between them and pure serviced apartments is that they have a breakfast room, and rates usually include breakfast.
> The phrase most directly means “(I) am loving (you),” as if to convey that love is an active labor, not just an amorphous feeling tossed between two parties.

I really connect with this.

In the west, love seems to be this thing you cannot control. It can come upon you suddenly and leave you just as suddenly. In that context, "love" is a scary thing. It seems to have a mind of it's own. Truly, I don't believe that it's love at all, but usually either lust or infatuation in disguise.

I believe whole heartedly that "love" is always an act. You can say you "love" someone while actively doing things that prove you do not love them. Likewise, you can actively show someone love without saying anything to them. True love is a controlled action and is accompanied by feelings (at least at times), but it does not have to be.

Perhaps the Japanese got this completely right.

three. email. accounts. I'm feeling safer already!

Truthfully, it's disconcerting that this is being presented with a straight face. Although thinking positively, maybe the larger campaign is a sign that the four standard horsemen - "terrorists", "pedophiles", "drugs", and "money laundering" - are getting tired.

It's also interesting how quickly the sabre-rattlers got this to play with the political team that is usually less jingoistic.

Because I deeply value my integrity and honesty. Calling someone something other than what I believe they are, based on my fundamental beliefs and understandings about the life, the universe, and everything, would be a lie. So it comes down to me refusing to be dishonest and losing some convenience because of it. I'm okay with that.

I hate Slack and I particularly despise Gitter. All the communities I had to go on at one point were totally out of service or totally uninterested in helping newbies. I am glad some organizations still use IRC as their main online network.
Hotels are not in competition with long term residents for various reasons- zoning, unsuitable building types, etc etc. It is extremely uncommon for a hotel to buy an entire apartment building and turn it into a hotel because it's extremely difficult to do so.

By contrast, Sonder can buy individual apartments very easy. The whole selling point is that they are apartments, so there's no need to renovate etc.
I'm fairly certain that the majority of stockholders when it comes to Apple is small shareholders, not large. Apple has a market cap of ~$1 trillion. Tim Cook himself is worth less than $1 billion (~$785 million from a quick Google), which implies that Tim Cook himself only owns 0.0785% of Apple at most.

Because the only thing I have left is my integrity and honesty.

As I said, very much your problem. For the rest of us who aren’t quite so fond of ourselves or bereft, it’s not a lie or a matter of convenience. Rather, it’s a matter of respecting another human and accommodation of the least order. It’s a minuscule request and a minuscule effort, unless as you claim to be, you’re just hanging on by fingertips. In the same way that I call people by their name, even if they changed it, and don’t harrangue them because I don’t like it, or because they changed it. “You’re not Bob, you’re Bill, and I won’t lie for you!”

Come on.

Edit: Wait, given who I think you are, you’re really someone who should focus on respecting other people’s basic rights and personhood over illusions of your own integrity. I’m going to have to be blunt and say that maybe your integrity isn’t as bulletproof as you’d like to think, and maybe your respect for other people is likewise, sorely lacking. I can see however how you’d dislike moderation on IRC though, and CoC’s, even if I don’t sympathize with why you dislike them.
My favorite part is when the Ukrainian officials start their own version of the plot instead of prosecuting. Something to be said about intellectual honesty.
That's another angle I wasn't thinking of.

I'm no expert, but the Blackstone group and some REITS already focus single houses and renting them out. The REIT market is well understood, thus having a easy line of investors. If this is simply a way of getting past local rulings, I would guess that somebody in the aforementioned rental market buying single homes might explore short term hotel type operations instead, although it is unclear to me the leap from longer term rentals to overnight stays.
I think the phraseology you've chosen here is confusing. Agreed 100% that multi-generational upbringing is the natural and ideal style, but I don't think that "nuclear family concept" is necessarily closed off or exclusive to other extended family members. Multi-generational living involves several "nuclear families" all clung together. It doesn't oppose the concept.
