This is true, but I have a slightly different question to ask. Imagine you work at, say, a game development company, along with 99 other developers. The only other member of the company is a CEO and shareholder, who decides how much to keep for himself and how much to pay the employees, but, importantly, does none of the actual work himself.

Let's say the game is wildly successful and the employees are collectively paid 60% of the profit, with the remaining 40% going to the sole shareholder. This is not an uncommon arrangement, and it is allowed and encouraged, culturally and legally.

Morally and practically speaking, not legally speaking, does this not amount to wage theft?

No, he earned $1 a year. Guess how much he paid in income taxes.
The thought that 'billionaires' are the problem is missing the point. There are folks worth the better part of $1T. They are a bigger part of the problem, by several orders of magnitude.

The systematic problems are, that the system is rigged so a tiny few skim from everything, leaving the absolute minimum they can get away with for the rest of us.
No, I mean people would literally create new original OS kernels to fill the void Linux left if Linux for some reason stopped existing as a free option. I didn't mean they would create forks of Linux, in that scenario Linux no longer exists in open form, they would program new kernels. Many people love that kind of work, which is why you will never find a lack of free compilers, OS's, programming languages etc. And since companies wants a free OS for their servers they would start to contribute to whatever OS that looks the most promising, we would have another free big OS for most service needs running very quickly.

> You also agree that software solutions that are not fun to build can succeed as freely available Free and Open Source projects.

Yeah, I should have said "most products that aren't fun aren't free", there are exceptions. But the main point is that developers using these free products in no way clashes with developers getting paid, as the things 99.9% of developers are paid to work on aren't things they use for free.

You're exactly right. Docker does pretty much almost nothing here

For real, dockerizing stuff has become a meme lately

What it (actually) does it simplifying dependencies. But you know, most of the time if you can run docker you can install stuff locally

> I am convinced it’s not a worthwhile use of time to engage with it for more than say 10 minutes a week.

I used to agree with you, but I’ve recently seen some extremely mediocre engineers land some big career opportunities simply because they had cultivated an image on LinkedIn that made them a minor “influencer”.

I did a lot of laughing at the vapid, daily platitudes they would post and the dissonance between the capabilities I saw at work vs what they often claimed LinkedIn. Now I’m wondering if I am the dummy.
I've dubbed this toxic positivity. You find this everywhere in business and tech where people have a vested interest in selling you some fool's gold. Anyone who is sceptic is jealous, envious, a Debbie Downer and so on. The more a business seems to rely on wishing itself into existence the more prevalent this seems to be.

In tech it seems to me like it has become more common with startup culture and with everything being focussed around customers and marketing. I can't imagine someone at Bell Labs would have tought of strong criticism as anything other than necessary.
Security (or risk) is not a Boolean (even though it may seem so psychologically), but a probability (or set of probabilities for different outcomes).

"I could die tomorrow, so it doesn't matter what I do today." is not a healthy way of thinking.

Spending less, eating healthy, learning useful stuff, exercising more and building good social relations with your family, community and professional contacts are all factors that improve the likelihood of positive outcomes.

You could still die (or end up broke and sick) tomorrow. There could even be nuclear war, for all I know. Or you could rent a Ferrari, spend a week drinking, gambling and whoring in Las Vegas, and end up meeting a person at the poker table that will make you rich, but the probability is low. (Unless you're already rich or famous.)

If you live humbly and healthily from you're 20 to you're 50, you may already have saved up enough buffer that from then on, you work because you want to, not because you have to (even on a median salary). If you go on until you're 70, you probably have enough for one more generation to have a jump start on the same level of safety, if they follow your example.

Though in my experience, families who follow such values over multiple generations are already wealthy, and often quite rich. Living with dignity well within their means, and not flaunting wealth in public, are some of the main hallmarks of "old money".

See the paper [1] and the discussions of the times DM has been falsified.

I think we're nearing the end of Amazon not really caring about DRM. AFAIK, the DRM used by latest version of KFX files hasn't been thoroughly broken and it's a cat and mouse game now. There are some less than ideal workarounds (like downloading an older format), but you lose some of the typography improvements that Amazon only supports in KFX.

Now that Amazon seems to be interested in strong DRM, I expect a legislative solution to book DRM is our only long term hope.
That's fair. Flagging someone should require some kind of legitimate attribution.

No, because they intended to delete inactive repositories of free-tier users. Especially for personal use, that's a big no-no.

The goal of which is to seek monopoly or at worst stable oligopoly.

I wondered how much the chickens may have been concentrating the lead and if it was significant compared with the extra lead the owners of those chickens are being exposed to from their city home environment.

ipfs is a transport, not a storage system. you don't store things "on ipfs" any more than you store things "on http".

http and tcp, other transport systems, also do not have censorship resistance. it's the wrong place for it.

you can use ipfs to build a censorship resistant system, just like you can with tcp, but that is the purview of a higher layer.
I'm concerned my response will be taken poorly so I will try to phrase this well. I hope you take this in the manner I intend it - with love in my heart.

We, as humans, are only entitled to what we can ourselves provide. To believe otherwise may be to hoist the black flag to take from others that which they did not earn.

Now, we as people are also compassionate and we want the elderly to not starve and we want the infirm cared for. We have instituted social programs to cover these smaller cases. But, to believe that a normal human being can do nothing and that someone else will provide for them - wholesale across our country - doesn't seem very sustainable.

I'm not sure what you want, or I may be mischaracterizing your view - if so I apologize. If you can explain better your point or who would provide for those who don't want to, I would appreciate it.
Gas and oil use for electricity is very low. Electricity is over 85% renewable and nuclear with most of the rest coming as industrial or district heating by products

District heating is quite often coal or oil for now but quickly changing to non carbon forms.

Here is a real time view of the electricity market in Finland https://www.fingrid.fi/en/electricity-market/power-system/

Germany on the other hand bet heavily into gas (and mostly as pipelines to Russia without building any LNG terminals of their own for redundancy) while trying to change over to renewables. Now gas is very expensive and the change over is not finished yet so they have to burn expensive gas and keep their old coal plants running (very expensive in terms of co2 credits)

edit: Electricity is really expensive now in Europe in general due to sanctions on Russia (and their retaliation cuts). Hopefully the new Olkiluoto 3 reactor goes into full production mode before winter to help a bit (it is running at partial power during testing at the moment)

> uhh. The article appears to suggest that we change who controls our labor...

> #1 - we do, we can quit anytime we want and find another place to work for.

We change who controls our labor by making those who control our labor us, the workers creating wealth, not the heirs who own companies and expropriate our surplus labor time via dividend profit checks.

The idea that a worker controls his own labor seems to be the one idea that is alien to your prescription.

"Our results offer a new perspective on gender differences

Had me a bit freaked out until I saw that this was due to tainted soil in urban settings. I’m sure there is still lead at lower concentrations pretty much everywhere considering it was in our gasoline for so long.

This is a strawman argument. It is a diversion. It is not about billionaires and their wealth.

It is about the expropriation of a worker's surplus labor time by the heirs. It is about control of all the worker's work time (surplus and non-surplus) by the heirs.

> ...between 1971 and 2018, 3,280 trade unionists were murdered in Colombia.

> Is there a solution? Not within this system. No amount of union organizing or progressive legislation will alter the nature of work in it.

Why are they killing the union leaders if unionization does not work? The massive push by large industries to get unions out of the mix indicates that unions helps workers massively. Collective bargaining changes everything for the workers as companies are forced to give them a much larger part of the value they produce. A society where people make good money also creates a positive spiral of consumption which makes it much easier for others to create well paying jobs as well - when people actually have money to spend.
If the game fails are those 99 employees ready to give their salary back? I imagine many places would allow their employees to buy options or stock.
It almost sounds like part of his concern is that the web server could view the content you are requesting. But this is always true for IPFS data since it's public and available to anyone with the CID.

Having children is a pretty good one! Relationships with trust.

You're not necessarily more selfish just because you're not trying to 'care' about everything so much anymore, you're just being more rational. You focus your sympathy/compassion and care on those they can affect, where you can apply understanding and judgement.

Justice is not moral. Understanding is moral, IMO.
This really reminds me of that bit from Luis C.K where people annyoed by crying babies make it about themselves.

"I have two daughters and both of them at one time were babies and I held them and they cried on planes. It’s happened to me, I’ve had a baby on a plane. If you’re ever- This is how selfish people are.
When you’re on a plane and you hear a baby crying, you think that’s happening to you.

You’re like, “Ugh, this is gonna ruin my flight! It’s gonna ruin it!” Well, look at the parent, ’cause that person is holding a crying baby on a plane, which means they’ve been traveling with a baby all day, which means they have a baby, okay? So their life isn’t even good. They don’t like anything. Their whole life is, ugh, Jesus! If there’s any joy for them, it’s that this is now bothering other people. “Yeah, you listen to this shit now!” Waah!"
I have other reason why I love this being in Java, it makes the point that a fun game isn't about the language it is programmed on, rather the quality of its programming and the overall game design.
No, I'm a big fan of workers controlling their own labor.

If a person wants to 100% control their own labor, they can create a business and provide their services (at a price someone else will pay for them) to the world at large.

What is alien to me is that a person believes they can take over other peoples property (factories, existing IP [go to microsoft, say 'windows is mine now' and try to sell your copy of the source). I'm a big fan of property rights.

So, I think we mostly agree right? Someone should be able to start their own business, using their own funds, and have their chance to excel in this world.
