For instance, your ad hominem fallacy along with an unrelated 19th century racist straw man makes your response sound like pro-China propaganda. I found China on that map just fine, but other readers might take you at your word.
>like for example giving us enough leisure time to be able to read, have hobbies, do art or spend more time with loved ones.

You say that like it is a universally accepted truth, yet the American worker allegedly takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant[0]. Going even further back, prior to agriculture we likely had even more "free" time[1].

Efficiency is a goal is nice, but the modern work day does not strive for efficiency.

If you add your own DKIM then you have to mangle the from address to make it appear that the email is from your email domain. Which usually means some sort of "via" usage. So that would not fix the problem.

I got so fed up with this, I abandoned the whole mobile infrastructure and built my own phone with a Raspberry Pi 3B+. The Raspberry Pi is pretty open hardware (yes, I'm aware it's not perfect). For software I used Python 3, C and GTK. It does voice and SMS/MMS only, but that is enough for me.

I built it for myself. It's stable enough that I use it as my daily driver.

I am in the process of open sourcing the code and putting it out on github. https://github.com/another2020githubuser/thepyphone

I truly hope an open hardware smart phone becomes available soon. Until then, I'll use my home grown PyPhone to get by.
A democratic system is a way to reach a freer world, yes. It doesn’t imply freedom. Instead of a central authority that imposes decisions people gather in parties and negotiate to reach some level of consensus.

That doesn’t say anything about the level of corruption and still gives lot of powers to elected people, but in a way more distributed way than the alternatives.

Now, regarding the US, the political system seems to be completely broken. Just the fact that only two parties exist for such a large country is a clear sign there is a huge problem. And the president has a ridiculous amount of power compared to other democratic countries.

As someone from India, where the currency exchange rate (with respect to USD, EUR, etc.) is forever depreciating rapidly while inflation is relatively quite high, I appreciate it when content creators offer lower prices and/or offer purchasing power parity discounts.

Of course, I can understand a viewpoint that says that nobody is owed anything, but that would apply to creators too.

Thats a really good point regarding EU citizens having access to this service.
Swedish services are thoroughly tied to the bankid/personnal number. There is a EU regulation [1] somewhat related to this that prevent sellers from discriminating the availability of goods based on your place of residence.

I wonder if this regulation applies to these shops.

A couple of paragraphs are particularly interesting, #18 and #19:

(18) [...] traders should not, through the use of technological measures or otherwise, prevent customers from having full and equal access to online interfaces, including in the form of mobile applications, based on their nationality, place of residence or place of establishment. [...]

(19) In order to ensure the equal treatment of customers and to avoid discrimination, as required by this Regulation, traders should not design their online interface, or apply technological means, in a way that would, in practice, not allow customers from other Member States to easily complete their orders.

Ask HN: How to decide ownership of an idea that you bring to your company
The company I work for is open to employee's bringing idea's to the company and if it's good the companies resources can be used to bring the idea to fruition, however there isn't a set structure for doing so as it is a new process. As such I have a reluctance to bring idea's forward as I obviously would want proof that I would have some compensation should it become profitable. Have any of you got experience in figuring this out, or work for companies that have policies in place for both the employee and the company to benefit? I would like to bring a structure to the company that we can all agree on, and would also allow other employees to feel comfortable sharing their ideas.
What kind of accuracy can it have? It will have to pass through many different layers of air, moving very fast. Even a small nudge will be magnified when you multiply it by 1,000 miles.

I assume that they'll have models that correct for all of that, and I assume they'll have satellite weather included for up-to-the-minute data on all of the factors involved. (Either that or I'm guessing wrong about the effects of those things.)

Assuming all of that... what kind of precision are we talking about? Can they hit a building? A tank?
It's not only that, it's the fact that the stores have externalised the checkout process to customers themselves.

I could never understood why should I, as a client, do the work that someone else can do for me (and more reliably, of course)? It's win-win, I'm not stressed at doing something wrong, I can do something else while my products are checked out and that person doing the product checkout also has a job.

But because it sounds tech-y and more automatic-y lots of tech-literate people fall for all of this, I don't see what's more automatic in me doing the same work that another person used to do.

If I was code reviewing this, I would almost certainly insist on a different name to make the WTF go away. I’m not going to suggest one here despite having read the other code comment, as doing so would be bikeshedding — not my codebase and I have no skin in this — the only point I will insist on is that I cannot believe that “three” is a sensible choice of name for whatever it does. Not even what the comment implies it does.
Both the book, the blog post, and this HN submission are deeply wrong on one thing: it should be called "software architecture", instead of simply "architecture".

No that would count. But the way we arrange things makes it impossible for everyone to escape wage labor. The way to do that would be to eliminate the legal framework for corporations and replace it with a framework for worker cooperatives which are run democratically by workers. The theory is if workers collectively employ themselves they're not being employed by someone else. Similar to how in political democracy, if citizens collectively govern themselves then they aren't being governed by someone else.

On the contrary, I would say that money is a (admittedly sometimes useful) abstraction that detached us from the real value and scarcity of things.

> Was that good?

Only you can tell. Has your quality of life improved? Do you have what you need to live well? Then it was good, otherwise not. Money won't help you at all to understand this. Only you can tell the value something has for you.

And I'm sure you do this already all the time. How many times were you advertised a great deal (in terms of price/product value) that you decided wasn't necessary?

That was you overriding the value money gives to something. Even though just looking at the price it seemed like a great deal, you realized that maybe you didn't need a third washing machine.

> particularly gold mines.

The commenters who compared prisons in the United States with Gulags, where you were sent to dig for gold basically by hand, poorly dressed at -30C for 12 hours.

> So, not just prisons or labor camps. It is hard to imagine how 81% or 87% could be identified as ordinary criminals in the absence of any semblance of due process. A tortured confession is not a verdict.

It takes a special kind of ignorance to believe statistics like this, and then to believe that being a "thief" makes being sent to prison okay, while complaining about incarceration in the United States, where people are incarcerated for petty crimes. It is mind bending.

This is potentially interesting... maybe.

A lot of retail has a trade off between small convenient stores and bing inconvenient ones. One is convenient. The other is better stocked, better priced, etc.

Software is eating the inconvenient stores. Better stocked, Better priced. Hard to beat. Maybe robots eat convenient stores.

Depending on how these scale and what price economics are like, this might work well.

DKIM doesnt break anything because it applies to the original message. You simply forward the signature header (well, you forward everything - thats what makes it forwarding!).

As I mentioned elsewhere, its not clear what the authors intent is - is it an originating server, or is it a relay. In both cases he shouldnt be signing with the relays key, but should either be signing with the domains key (if available) or forwarding the existing signature. Signing with the relays key is all but useless.

I would argue that postal remailing exposes the remailer to legal risk, and (if done with few remailers) gives the surveillers few points of particularly interesting mail hubs.

If anything, postal remailing would probably only work in a TOR-like manner, with many, distributed, non-for-profit remailers - but that opens a whole set of new problems, like who pays for the service, what prevents the remailer to just take the delivery for themselves (as undoubtedly such a service would be used to remail illicit substances and other valuables), and how would such a network of legitimate, trustworthy remailers know each other to do some tunnelling?
