It makes sense but I don't think it actually gains you anything because of a subtlety around races.

If you want the rebind to fail only when the socket is bound by another process, it may be the other process is about to close the socket, and your atomic-rebind would result in the socket not bound by either process.

That outcome is identical to the outcome from the available method, where you attempt connect() first and only bind-and-rename if the connect() fails with an appropriate error. When there's no race, you always get the desired outcome of the socket bound by exactly one process, but if the processes are racing, the result can be the socket not bound by either process.

Because both methods produce the same outcome in the race case, and the only difference is an unobservable difference in each process' logical clocks (you can't tell which events really happened first), both methods actually have the same race properties.

If you want to always end up with exactly one server running, and to always avoid taking away the socket from an existing server which is running just fine, I think you need to involve some protocol. You can try connect() and then if it succeeds, send a request "are you shutting down?". An appropriate type of connect() error or "yes" means it's safe to bind a new socket and rename over, otherwise leave the socket alone.

The sad thing that just the two parameters basic income and flat tax rate are flexible enough for a wide variety of policies.

Want scandinavian style socialism: set the basic income very high and have a high flat tax rate of maybe 50%. Want a more individualist approach: set basic income to the bare necessities and set the flat tax rate to 25%.

Want to borrow to fight against a recession, keynesian style: increase basic income without raising flat tax rate. Want to save for bad times: increase flat tax rate without raising basic income...

I guess this kind of system can only emerge due to some drastic change or historical accident. E.g. the eastern european countries have a flat tax system because after the collapse of the soviet union there was no complex incumbent system in place.

I would love to know if there is a way to get to such a system using the normal democratic process. But if it exists, I don't see it.
> The only strange part is incubators never seem to be able to retain their culture and seem to be temporal in nature

> It's always bugged me that AF_UNIX addresses have a relatively short length limit.

I agree, it's not pretty. Some unixes have an extremely short limit, so short you can't really use absolute paths portably unless in somewhere like /tmp.

But there is a workaround.

The path doesn't have to be absolute, so if you chdir(2) first and use a relative name with bind() and connect(); that gets you a socket in any directory.

(See also bindat() and connectat() in FreeBSD).

If you don't want to chdir(), you can make a temporary symbolic link in /tmp to your directory of choice for bind(), and directly to the socket for connect().

If the last path component is too long for bind(), renaming afterwards may work (or hard linking on the same filesystem then unlinking).

All the above assumes that AF_UNIX sockets are indexed by the inode on the filesystem, so different paths, rename etc work. I'm not sure if that is true on every old and weird kernel, if you're going for high portability.

What is your alternative? That when a founder retires, should they be stripped of all ownership of the company they founded, because they are no longer working? Or should the owners of a company receive zero of the profits of the company? Either of those will have rather large consequences, at least some of them rather negative.

So... what's your plan?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The AF_INET and AF_INET6 don't represent URLs because they are on completing different layer (layer 4) where the URLs operate on layer 7. On top of that there's an add-on protocol to translate name to IP - DNS.

To do what you wanted it would require to redesign the whole networking. Named Data Networking[1] (NDN) which unlike TCP/IP addresses data would be able to support URLs like that natively.

> we’re ok with giving essentially the entire power of the state to people with no training or experience in law

Yes, that's what democracy is, for better or worse: the power of the state is ultimately vested in the people, regardless of training, background, gender, skin color, etc. etc. Restricting power to those who are trained in law, or any other narrowly defined group, is called oligarchy. It generally has good outcomes for the oligarchs and those who are close to them, not so much for everyone else.
Orange Pi 4 Launches
“Wealth inequality needs to be considered in the context of overall prosperity and despite the fearmongering you see online, most Americans are doing well. Even our poor have modern conveniences, access to emergency healthcare, generally safe food and infrastructure - eating the evil rich and redistributing their wealth is unlikely to solve any of the major issues in the country, as we're already throwing tons of money at schooling and healthcare and the like.”

This line is extremely condescending. Why don’t we tell the top 0.1% who seem to always need more to do their valuable service to society that they have it much better than any king had it a hundred years ago? So why they need more every year? why is this line only used against the little guy? Fact is that more and more wealth goes to a small group of people. In my view this is extremely damaging to a society in the long run. some level of inequality is probably helpful to motivate people but it shouldn’t be growing constantly.

A shop in the Bay Area called "Central Computers." Once ASUS announced their TR40 motherboard I told him I wanted that, 64GB of RAM, and a 3960 or 3970 when they came in. He called me Friday morning and said, "ok we have it". Since by that time the 3990 had been announced as well I told him to put me down for one of those when they got them as well to replace the 3960.
He did and he turned out fine - he co-founded a dotcom and then afterwards became a professor.

Many people end up in the 1% for a single year via sale of business, stock, etc.

There's a huge difference between that type of 1% for a year and age 30-40 dual (or very high single) annual income earners.

The former may retire with a $1-5M net worth, the latter is either spending heavily or retiring with a $10M+ (and likely $20M+ with reasonableiinvestment returns) nest egg.
Partisanship is a state of mind moreso than a formal system. Judicial appointments in Canada are non partisan. The politicians who appoint them are operating under the principle of “who would be the best judge from among these candidates” rather than who is my closest ally.

It sounds like the entire judicial branch of the United States has become politicized. That’s really unfortunate. It’s not the case in other countries.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be copyrightable, but I can see how it wouldn't be. It's not transformative, in fact the idea is to get as close to a replica as possible. It could easily be described as utilitarian until it's modified, a description of facts like news, the phone book, or recipes. But let's say it's copyrightable, are we saying that the digital representation of the object is under copyright, or that specific file? That's how fonts work, the shape of the characters are not copyright protected, but the actual font file is, so I can go a recreate a font as long as I re-write it myself (and obviously don't wind up with identical file output in the end).

It's a n interesting subject, personally.

> Does that include taxing employee equity based on how it is valued based on each round of funding?

This already happens, except as a tax on income rather than wealth. Exercising options in a private company that has increased in value will result in a tax bill. And you can't sell shares to pay that bill (usually) because the company is private.
You have someone who publicly says they're a hair away from committing multiple acts of murder, carry a gun with them and are a barely functioning alcoholic. Do you expect people to not take alcoholism and murder, with means on hand, seriously?
> Yes, that's what democracy is

No, it's not. It's perfectly reasonable in our democracy to expect judges to be trained in law in order to effectively do their jobs. Might as well let any random of the street be a doctor without training if that wasn't the case.

Non-legally trained people still participate through the jury system, and more importantly in the House where laws are created in the first place.
The origin of the 1% meme came from occupy movement "We are the 99%" and meant net wealth, not income. I think that's what the left still means with the 1%.

I'm not completely sure how the discussion turned into top 1% of income earners and specially exuding capital gains. I think it's possible that there is intentional attempt to change the discussion.

If you are in the top 1% of wealth, your net wealth is roughly $7 million. If you get just 3 percent real return for you can get $210,000 a year income without working.
If you drew a sketch that you felt was the ultimate best sketch possible, and without seeing your sketch i drew a sketch of the same subject that i felt was the best sketch possible, we'd come up with two completely different sketches that were each our own interpretation of the original work.

If you took a 3D scan, and i took a 3D scan of the same subject, barring either of us making a mistake, we'd both come up with exactly the same final result.

3D scanning is not the creation of an original work, it's a reproduction. Claiming copyright on a 3D scan is just as crazy as claiming copyright on any other reproduction. I can't rip a DVD and then claim that my ripped MKV file is an original work that i own the copyright to.
So it's almost like the foundations that are created around open source projects, but without an official status. If they sell a version with a difference license to a company, how do the make the bill? What about donations or grants?

Can they just add more and more phantom contributors to decrease the size of the rebel vote part? Who verifies that all the voters are real humans and not just sockpuppets / meatpuppets?

The "Yes, And" technique is best when presenting as a team, e.g. for sales meeting or investment pitch. It supports what your colleague is saying even while you may need to make a correction. I've been automatically using this technique for years, since I have a performance and improv background.

The rest of improv may not be as applicable, but performance sure does! The show must go on (despite unexpected setbacks or illness or personal feelings), how to speak in front of crowds (even while being ridiculed or ignored), being fully prepared through scripts and rehearsals until you embody the story you are trying to tell... Is an integral part of leading startups and I credit much of my success to that experience.

If everyone on your team is fully embedded in the purpose and ethos of your story, than you can fill in for each other if someone drops a line or needs a stand-in. In a startup everyone is selling! And it will be much more authentic with this level of camaraderie and committment.

> people who selfishly help environmentally destroy our planet with their meat addictions? I would say yes.

You know you're not the only dog owner to say stuff like this, which I've always found odd. I think it's a kind of American exceptionalism writ large into vegetarian(?) thinking, where people see themselves as separate from the circle of life, instead of as someone in a relationship with nature. (Where they consider their pets "separate" and "part of nature" so its OK when they consume meat.)

Pretty much everyone in farming communities knows that animals are intelligent, its the people who are extremely separated that find the odd epiphany. I recommend talking to the farmers next time you're in Central Illinois.

By the way, pasture is good for the environment.

> I would be really surprised to find anyone at the top of performance in any organization that isn't fully remote without resorting to Machiavellian tactics.

Can confirm. Switching to a fully remote company was eye-opening. The politics are much worse than my office jobs.

Everything is back-channeled. So many secret private Slack channels and exclusive in-person meetups where actual decisions are made.

At least in the office you could get a sense of the political landscape after a few weeks of meetings — I was unaware of how my remote organization actually worked for over a year until I raised some concerns and a co-worker clued me in.

The shocking thing wasn’t that a remote company has politics, but that the entire company ethos was based on how much more transparent and less political fully remote organizations are.
Democracy is a scheme to keep masses in check by giving them illusion of power. If a politician starts promising people to give them what they actually want it is called "populism" and said politician will become a pariah, painted as irresponsible, crazy, etc.
