When increasing numbers are getting a worse deal than their parents it's perhaps not surprising people look to alternatives. Doubt they will overthrow it - far more likely they will try and constrain it. Limits on inequality, environmental damage etc.

We could do worse than look to the periods of history when capitalism seemed to work far better, or to the more social democratic countries - e.g. the Nordic model.

I sincerely doubt there'll be a Western rerun of 1917.

> addressing the issues causing fertility rates below the replacement level

Myself and many of my friends who have decided to have zero children or only one child rather late in life, cite the burden of having to take care of children, when one is already tired after work, one would like to pursue leisure activities that do not involve children present, etc. Even in countries where the state provides abundant infrastructure to minimize the financial expense of childrearing, birthrates are still low because of the time and effort expense that remains. So, how do you address that issue? Telling people to just suck it up and accept childbearing as their duty isn’t going to work.

Immigrants are often coming from countries where religious and cultural pressures in favor of childbearing are maintaining the birthrate higher than in the West, but even in those regions birthrates are gradually falling as their countries become more developed.

It seems there are add-ons for this :-)

It's a fearmongering technique to defend the status quo to say one must defend capitalism because the only other option is a totalitarian Stalinist cult of personality dystopia.

It does, however, reflect on the structural complexity of distributing power. Be it capitalists or a dictator at the top social organization gravitates towards being top heavy. It takes unified, active, and uncompromising effort on the part of the powerless to prevent the vaccum at the top from being filled if removed.
Compared to current Chromium based browsers (I'm using Edge/ium), how does this Firefox release's DevTools compare?
Does anyone have a list of self-hosted server-side analytics tools with conversion funnel tracking?

The only self-hosted one I can find that has a funnel feature is Matomo.
In theory: Nothing!

In reality: The same thing that has prevented that from happening for the last 6 years; a strong focus on a core set of usecases and no desire to become a generic website builder :)

That's only effective against client-side analytics. There's also the user-agent from the client sent to the server. This is sent in most (all?) requests.
Future generations are going to look back critically at this time. So much risk taken, so much sacrificed and burned up, so much opportunity, labor, economic freedom spent, all so that a tiny sliver of people born roughly between 1920 and 1950 can have retirement security, second homes, vacations, and on average a massively higher standard of living than anyone else that’s ever lived or will live in the future. When my grandchildren are serving their feudal lord to survive and their grandchildren are going to war with the next tribe over for access to fresh water, maybe someone will look back and shake their heads at what we all squandered.

Technically there’s no consideration unless they actually give you the dollar, but as this is impossible to demonstrate in court, it should be ok.

Nearly every week without fail, random people email me to ask random/dumb questions about projects I have on Github that are clearly marked Read Only/Archived. It's not worth my time to respond to assinine, pointless emails. I'm not their employees, and I owe these people NOTHING. Still, some of these people email me to scream their entitlement as to why I haven't answered their email to solve their problems. (LOL) They just don't get it. (LOL some more.)
So bullet point # 225 from that complaint basically says the same as the PDF we're discussing:

>Likewise, Equifax “protected” one of its portals used to manage credit disputes with the username ‘admin’ and password ‘admin.’ This portal allowed access to a vast cache of personal information, including employee names, emails, usernames, passwords, consumer complaint records, and the Argentinian equivalent of Social Security numbers. The portal also granted administrative access allowing intruders to add, delete, or modify records. A November 15, 2017 article in Forbes quoted cybersecurity expert Wes Moehlenbruck, who stated that this was one of many “very grossly negligent security practices” at Equifax. The article continued, “‘Admin/admin’ as a database password is a surefire way to get hacked almost instantly,’ Moehlenbruck says. ‘A production database with this account smells of poor security policy and a lack of due diligence.’

Seems to agree with that GP was saying.
Could you rephrase that first paragraph without the triple negative?

It sounds like you are saying that having your physical well-being tied to employment is good for efficient allocation of labor/capital, but I have some problems with this claim and I’d like to check that this is what you’re actually saying.

The economic problem is that having well-being tied to employment pushes people towards employment short-term rather than value long-term.

Then there’s the moral problems, which can’t be ignored.
If you have exceptions for certain websites, isn’t it still better for the browser to tell the website in the 90% of other cases?
Game changer! Now from my POV Firefox is the best desktop browser, period. No caveats.
I don't believe that has anything to do with critical thinking. It's likely just marketing by the creators and they don't mean to claim to judge the value of contributions, but they are declaring that these are the faces behind the open source revolution. Wording matters.

Oh great. Now I have to change my password.
I choose the best tool for the job and not necessarily the tool I know, this includes languages but also environments and technologies.
I needed Perl (yes, I know), Python, C++, Java, JS, and a few other obscure scripting languages simply because of an existing tool or due to better performance so I simply learnt them.

If you are referring to spoken language, then I learnt Swedish to better communicate with my work colleagues.

You can click on the header without resorting to any URL manipulation. When I load the page, I see ghost, Product, Developers, etc, across the top, and even as I scroll, the 'The Ghost Blog' stays with me, always clickable to reach the homepage.

The Russian Civil War (Where the new government was, in fact, surrounded by enemies on all sides, many of them receiving foreign support) was a more relevant formative experience for the policies of the Bolsheviks.

Once their actual enemies were dealt with, they, of course, spent the next three decades finding largely (but not entirely) imagined ones. The Russian Civil War 'ended' in 1922, but died with Stalin, in 1953.
But I've been in the business for almost 10 years now, mostly learning from people around. I am running out of fiction so maybe this would be a good time investment though.

When Bill and Dave were finally out of the company there was a stark 180 in philosophy. You can always tell when management is about to do something sleezy in any of the HP spin offs (including HP) because they invoke the founder's to justify their obviously poor decisions.

In theory, no. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. The nationality of the subject isn't a factor that would have a particular bearing either way. The courts are supposed to look at where it makes sense to try the crime, rather than the nationality of the offender.

In this case, most of the evidence is presumably in the United States so it doesn't make sense for the trial to happen in the United Kingdom, assuming the United Kingdom has the relevant offence too (I haven't looked it up, but I presume it would be breaching the Official Secrets Act or something along those lines).

Obviously, it is more persuasive to have a British national tried at home (especially with comparative legal systems, e.g. the offence exists in both countries) rather than a foreign judicial system. The same cannot be said for a foreign national, especially if the foreign prosecuting authority will have a much stronger case built up than a domestic prosecuting authority could achieve.
That's almost certainly accurate. The metalanguage / interlingua isn't English, but being based on A <-> English and B <-> English training, is all but certainly influenced by English grammar, words, and idioms, in ways that direct A <->B training would not be.

Looking at the report I don't really understand where your scepticism comes from there really does appear to have been a 36% reduction in NO2 readings over the period under consideration, an acceleration of an existing trend which the authors take into account in their modelling. They acknowledge the need for further monitoring to confirm that it's not an anomaly but given the existing readings it seems like the press release is making a reasonable representation of the science given the constraints of the format.

Because it benefits employers to have desperate employees. If your short-term survival is tied to your job, you'll be willing to take a lot more abuse (and less pay) in order to maintain your core needs.

You literally cannot have comfortable life for the majority of society under a free-market system because it relies on the threat of being outcast from safety. The most socialist era of this country (1930-1980) is widely regarded as the American "Golden Era". I don't think that's a coincidence.

Interesting, capitalism seems orthogonal since China appears to do a good job of it too. I’d say it’s just industrialism or commercialism, which are not concerned with who owns capital.

Nope, I'll edit my post - I was merely talking about what the parent comment said, not anything about Ghost.

The fact that they described modifying the URL made me think of so many blogs I see without back links. I wasn't referring to Ghost at all (I mentioned that, but I'll make it more clear).

Sorry for any confusion :)
The illusion that there is one thing called capitalism needs to go. Because of it, the discussion always goes to "oh, you think communism will be better? We will have gulags before the month is over!"

Most people are unaware there are like 9 different schools of thought in economics, which complement each other. They might have heard of Keynesian and neo-liberal. Of all places, HN readers should know about Schumpeter's model, as it explains the rise of new industries often comes with disruption to the old ones.

Many problems of the last decades come from shoe-horning neoliberal economic model where it does not belong, without understanding it's limitations. (which are numerous). Privatising natural monopolies is the classic example.

It also seems the fall of USSR has freed our leaders from any need for self-reflection. The consequences for fuck ups could be dire, now all you get is "occupy wall-street".

Because educating immigrants is cheaper? If you support immigrants, surprisingly, they tend to embrace the existentially important parts of your culture and integrate smoothly.

Chile is a good example of a "western" latin american country. Brazil/Argentina are bad examples. Brazil for instance, has state-ownership of its entire oil industry - pretty textbook socialism.

About the only effect of the bust I saw was that the job market went south with all the temporarily embarrassed "software engineers" seeking positions like mine (I was/am a system admin and developer among many other things).

Kept the job until the market improved somewhat, cashed in my 401k at the time (dumb) to put a down payment on a house just before the 2008 bust. Then I went to work for a University for 10 years.

The major impact of the various busts on me has been a lack of mobility (both career wise and ability to move to a new house). Other than that, not much.

I credit this to my choice of jobs (building a career) and focus in the industry, plus the fact that I've lived the role since college. I didn't become an IT guy because it was a way to get and keep good jobs... I was already one college, and I've been lucky that what I am happens to pay well.

This seems really quite variable. The second sentence I tried DE->EN ended up with an awkward and confusing literal translation of a phrase that Google Translate handled well.
What do you say to people who are protesting against income inequality because they benefit from it and know how unfair the whole thing is?

Say I received a million $ from my father (that's income inequality, isn't it?) and now I'm saving all my work income because I can live on my capital gains from "gifts" and watch all my friends work harder and harder to try and earn few extra cents while I'm getting richer doing very little.

My dad did "things", I'm doing "things", and I'm getting paid for it! How would you evaluate my "value contributions" anyway? . My income is growing, I can wait.

PS: for some reasons, my taxes in % of my income keeps decreasing because where I live, capital is less taxed than work. And the politicians who chose that explains they're lowing taxes because other countries are doing the same. So all countries are help the rich because rich are being helped elsewhere. How cool is that?
Racism is not bound by facts - see our current administration.

We're debating "replacement rates" and immigration because it turns out only people who are currently in power benefit from a party that maintains the status quo. This leads to that party gripping the status quo reigns ever tighter, and in turn to most non-majority people voting against them. Well, turns out a lot of the minority are immigrants, so the status quo faction now yammers about "replacement rates" and wants to keep immigrants out - because they're aware they can't hold onto power under a democratic system that allows immigration.

And so, racism and fascism takes hold, and facts are jettisoned for the benefit of holding on to power.
I can't understand what people actually have against capitalism. Most of the times when I hear about the problems of my generation much of it comes down to personal choice. You don't have to go to an expensive college, you don't have to live in the "it" part of town, and you don't have to use your credit card. I've heard so many people complain about the injustices of the world, but at the same time they pay twice as much for rent as me and have 1/3 the income. I have trouble feeling sympathy when you could just make better choices and improve your life without asking the government to come in and take care of you.
When ready to order, I agree. However, when browsing for what's available, it's a frustrating experience. The last time I wanted to see prices from Papa Johns, I couldn't. They want you to sign in with your pizza profile, which I didn't have. Ok fine, enter your zip code, then pick delivery or pickup, then pick the store. Why do I need to do all of this to see prices? It more often than not just makes me skip it and move on to a competitor...

It is a complex topic and my own views are still being defined, but I think it is safe to say that for most the issue isnt capitalism, it is unchecked capitalism. The idea that we work for the system instead of the system working for us.

My grandparents saw our country mobilize for war and create liberty ships. The country was in the space race - I've seen an article (Popular Mechanics) from 1950 that thought we would not yet have landed people on the moon by 2000, but despite that reasonable expectation, they did it. They developed national healthcare for the elderly and the poor, the built the foundation of modern retirement. They crisscrossed America with interstate highways.

But me? I've seen every notable problem rejected without an attempt at solutions because "how will we pay for it?" I've seen seen infrastructure systems left to rot and crumble because of the national debt, yet somehow each time a tax cut comes up for the rich they sell the idea that THIS time it will improve things for the non-rich. I've seen education budgets gutted, healthcare systems dropped and ignored, and I've seen science regarding the global climate scoffed at because their "gut" doesnt agree. (The location of their gut seems to coincide with the location of their wallet)

I've seen our representational democracy have clear signs of distress, from gerrymandering to foreign influence, for DECADES, not just recent headlines.

I've seen wages be near-flat for almost the entire lives of people now old enough to vote or fight in wars, but that wage issue doesnt seem to apply to those with enough money to start with.

But addressing any of these issues might threaten those with money, and our worship of capitalism has lead us to conclude they should be obeyed.

Capitalism is very effective, but we've stopped using it because it is effective, and are instead being used by it. We've gone from a system that allows the worthy to find financial success to assuming that financial success means you are worthy (as lack of financial success means you are not worthy).

Capitalism isnt the problem, but our relationship with it IS.
