My response was a bit - tongue in cheek as that's a quote from Singapore's PM during an election campaign. His point was if you remove the competitive aspects - the individualistic ones, the system grinds to a halt.

The USSR and China were abusive because you need to be abusive to force people to give over labour for which they don't own the proceeds of. Small time farmers in Vietnam had riots over the collectivization of their land into communes (and the "Communists" there dropped it in favor of capitalism). These are subsistence-level farms who can't read or write - yet they understood the injustice of taking away one's freedom to live of the fruits of your own labour.

A far better solution is to separate the economic system with the political one (which communism tries to meld). There is nothing that says you can't have a capitalist system that protects worker rights, or that heavily taxes and redistributes.

Rather than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, figure out how best to use the eggs to the benefit of everyone.

"SOX itself never mentions cybersecurity. However, in 2018, the SEC released a “Commission Statement and Guidance on Public Company Cybersecurity Disclosures (the Guidance).” (https://www.sec.gov/rules/interp/2018/33-10459.pdf) The SEC realized that increased technology use and data breach risk impact corporate financials. In fact, the Guidance lists several financial risks linked to cybersecurity:

Remediation costs
Cybersecurity protection costs
Lost revenue due to customer churn after an attack
Litigation and legal risks, including regulatory fines
Increased insurance premiums
Reputation damage
Damage to competitiveness, stock price, and long-term shareholder value
In order to comply with SOX, public companies need to ensure that they establish appropriate controls and security monitoring programs that mitigate risk.

In 2020, the SEC released new guidance “Cybersecurity and Resiliency Observations” (Resiliency Guidance) (https://www.sec.gov/files/OCIE%20Cybersecurity%20and%20Resil...) through its Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE). This revised guidance offered greater specificity for organizations that need to file public financial reports."

Factorio is a factory with some tower defense to mix things up. Once you get your defenses up a bit, the biters are never really a big threat again.

Mindustry the opposite. It’s actually either a tower defense or an RTS (depending on if you’re playing the campaign or against other humans).

In Mindustry campaign, waves are timed and if you don’t pause, you’re going to be building frantically trying to keep up with the increasing difficulty of the upcoming wave as the clock counts down.

Also unlike factorio, space isn’t unlimited. You have to be very efficient to pack as much stuff into the limited space as possible. Enemies aren’t just limited by walls and a boss flying overhead is a force to be feared.

Each sector is its own factory. Once you get far enough along (spoiler alert?), your older sectors will start getting attacked by enemies again (much more powerful ones). A lot of locations are lacking some resources necessary to create top tier weapons, so defending these means managing how you send these resources to them from other sectors.

Then as you get that worked out, five sectors all get attacked at once. You try as hard as you can, but the more you build, the more they attack. Then the conveyor break and it’s publishers clearing house day!!!

I believe that ancient artifacts belong to all humanity, so whoever is equipped best keep them safe to preserve them for us and posterity should have it.

On the same topic, I don't think that people of modern Turkey or Greece have more valid claim on the remains of Troy or Mycenae just because the people who have left these remains have one occupied the plot of land that now lies within their borders.
It's interesting that none of those businesses tried the megaupload business model: free and slow by default, paid and fast otherwise.
Gmail may do that, but Android still offers developers "a webview that is basically a detached Chrome tab" and "a webview that you control and add your own chrome around".

Instagram offers me a UI that looks quite different to Gmail, so I suspect it's still using the latter.
> If you took all the income from the billionaires and distributed it evenly, the average person wouldn't even get a 2% raise. If you took all the wealth and distributed it evenly, the a average person wouldn't even get $500.

This is missing the forest for the trees. Immense concentration of wealth affords the power to significantly affect change and mold society. This power in the hands of the few is the actual issue, given that social stratum is strongly correlated with political outlook and mores.
The unionization factor is interesting. It's not a zero-sum game. The more everyone does, the better everyone is.

Due to egalitarian efforts getting women and others into the workforce it produced a large surplus of labour.

There was also very clever work by China in creating very low tax economic zones which created globalization and moved low skilled jobs out of the developed world. Also creating a surplus of labour.

Unionization doesnt work well when there's so much surplus of labour. Worse yet, incompetent males were displaced from the workplace by competent others. Which created a net-negative growth on population. Therefore population decline is coming.

The thing is with the population pyramid, the decline isnt even coming yet it's a productivity drop relative to the boomers retiring and the boomers are woefully under invested for retirement.

So we are going to have a transition quickly from labour surplus to depression level labour shortage. That already started, this is the antiwork movement. They suddenly probably for the first time feel no labour surplus and are excited to be treated properly by shitty employers.

The funny thing about severe shortages, unionization is still lame. You dont want to have your salary and benefits limited by union process. You want to job hop for better profits.

The really good thing about this productivity drop, the powers that be will put money into tech to boost productivity. Self-checkouts, atms, etc. No humans needed.

So, while the impact on eggs is interesting and all, a more appropriate title for the article would be "urban Australia is so lead-polluted that gardening and raising chickens shows lead poisoning". In other words, if the place you're living has so much lead in the soil that it is unsafe to produce food there, it seems unlikely that it is safe to be living there at all.

Proprietary software is software that keeps the lights on for the people that work on it.

Sun Tzu has figured out a while ago that it's a bad idea to back your enemies into a corner. Like it or not, fighting with your back against a wall makes you lethal.

Now, I'm not saying open source is unable to match this. They can and have. I'm just saying that most proprietary software has that advantage naturally (in a capitalist society).

What is "loss leader"? Do you mean they make a loss on EC2, or that it's the bottom entry if you'd sort by profit? I'd assume the former but making a loss at AWS' price level would be extremely impressive.
EC2 is definitely at a premium. If you are pricing CPU and RAM, the big three cloud providers are near the top of the pricing continuum. Hetzner is usually at or near the bottom end of the pricing continuum.

If you are including the value-add of other cloud features, then it is not a like-for-like comparison.

Complete noob question, but if it never goes away how does it get into chickens? It sounds like your point and this article combined are implying that having chickens (whose eggs you don't eat but who do eat the bugs) would actually be a method of removing lead from the land?

I can remember reading Project Gutenberg books on a Psion Series 3[1] in the early 90s but not sure exactly when that was, '92 maybe.

I really like Mindustry.

One place where Mindustry is clearly better than factorio is the feel of trying to build things quickly. It's very satisfying to lay something down fast. A stumble there is that the keyboard combinations are chorded but not overlap-free. So you hit like 1-3 for one thing and 3-1 for another, which means if you change your mind you can't abort a chord by starting another. Quite frustrating in the moment.

Another "so close to greatness" problem is that the campaign doesn't allow you to trust your friends to run separate parts of the planet. You all have to be on the same map at the same time.
Yikes, never heard of spraying lead as an insecticide! Even more eye opening is that according to Wikipedia it was a "less toxic alternative to then-used Paris Green, which is about 10x more toxic." [1] Makes you wonder what common practices today will frighten future generations.

Why should they want those people if they're so entitled anyways? For the good PR? Why are they entitled to that?

As far as I see this, Gitlab offered something for the good PR, and now they want to stop offering it and still keep the good PR. Sorry Gitlab, but you're not entitled to not have me talk shit about you. Feel free to stop offering free services, but don't expect anything from me in return.
Oh! I know about this! It's the "fuzzy" feeling you get when you touch a MBP when it's plugged in!

>Yep. And that's what they aim to help their customers achieve.

Any business can go viral at anytime easily. It doesn't mean it's good for business.

For example, if I owned an ice cream truck business, I could record myself throwing ice cream at my customers' face instead of handing it them. I'll go viral. But it doesn't mean it's good for business.

Making these kinds of judgments is exactly why autism is a disability.

I understand from the comments and my life experience that there is something there, I learned to smile, be engaging, mirror body posture, ask questions instead of going into statements too quickly, but what are you describing just makes no sense to me. How is "what goals would you like to achieve?" not dismissive, but "do you think our checkout is not performing well?" is?

One is a pretty vague question about something they already stated (they want to ask me my opinion about rewriting the checkout in react because company X improved their checkout), the other one is something I need input on to be able to do that. It's literally the most efficient question I can think of so that I can avoid wasting their time.

I described in another comment how it never "really" occurred to me that a question could be perceived as dismissive. If I wanted to dismissive I would... just say so?

The thing is, saying it is dismissive, getting upset, and shutting me down helps exactly no one here. What could help is to realize I am not actually trying to be dismissive, point out that my question might be interpreted as such, and then move on. Trust me that I don't let this kind of advice go to waste.

This was done in Japan during the second world war. They unified under the idea of a singular identity similar to in China of the Han ethnicity which mind you is over 2000 years old and for the most part the Han people do not live in China but rather migrated to Korea. When you can pretend ethnic groups do not exist you can systemically and permanently create castes which make those who are visibly different from others into members of an invisible caste which they cannot escape.

In the US the Technology industry made the same mistake when it allowed the Hindu Caste to take over the immigration policies during the 90s to early 80s.

As long as the game is freely available to fulfill copyright license clauses, I don’t think people would mind.

> What does it mean to you, deep down

Absolutely. Hard to find out sometimes. As a bit of an amateur
psychologist, I'd say the "deep down" part presents the challenge.
We're mostly too busy cutting code to do the "inner work". And as you
say, the "Why?" doesn't always come first. Sometimes we are involved
in projects and business as a way to work things through and discover
something. What starts out as "I don't want to be poor like my
parents" ends up as "I could do something about preventable disease X
and save many lives". That's why I think that the ethics behind the
hacking is more important than we realise and there's no such thing as
"technological determinism".

It is an interesting assertion. What we know about learning and chunking in our brains implies that chess knowledge is too specific to be used elsewhere directly. The years of playing chess probably just mean parent is good at analysis and learning things like chess, and is why they were interested in chess to begin with. Maybe some chess concepts work and apply, but chess memory and skill is rather specific.

Actually, there are significant legal obstacles. It took around 200 years to create good legal framework and regulations around publicly-traded corporations, so that for example, when you invest, you can make sure you won't get scammed. (And it's still not perfect.)

Worker collectives, because they are uncommon, and do not operate under well-known legal framework, face significant obstacles in, for example, getting loans.
> Why do people believe in the just-world fallacy?

I'm not sure that "fallacy" is the right word, there. A fallacy is an error of reasoning; BJW is simply a belief, it's not usually derived from reasoning. In fact I suspect it's deeper than even beliefs; my guess is that people don't know they believe in a just world.

So I don't think people "believe in" a just world; rather, their behaviour, including the things they say they believe, are the manifestation of their personality. I suspect people that find the world scary and dangerous are more inclined to believe in "pie in the sky when you die". Finding the world scary and dangerous is a personality type, not a belief system.
This is an interesting answer, thank you! I agree that co-ops using only funds contributed by their members will struggle to compete with companies that receive large investments. However, the bigger question is why investors would not want to invest in a co-operative. As far as I can tell, you're saying that investment in co-operatives is intrinsically less attractive because investors would obtain some kind of fixed return, as opposed to permanent ownership of shares in the company. Is that what you meant?

If so, the question that remains is a relatively open one. Let's say that, for the sake of argument, we reached the conclusion that organising companies as co-operatives would bring considerable social benefits to the majority of people compared to the current way or organising work. If this were true, what would have to be changed so as to make them a reasonable option? Perhaps our values of prioritising economic values over social value? Perhaps regulations on shareholders?

While this is true to a degree, development costs also come into play here. Let's simplify the problem a lot for a moment. Suppose the only thing you care about is cost and the only things you can control are the hardware you're running on and the code it runs. You can optimize your code to use less hardware, which would lower operational costs. But you also have to pay developers to optimize the code. In some cases, it may be more cost effective to run less efficient code rather than pay for the development time to optimize.
Figure 2 is pretty awesome. It's a proof-of-concept approach using words like AI, graphene, exoplanet, prozac, etc. This is a great way to track the rise and fall of academic trends in general.

However, as far as the rest of the study, the researchers could have addressed the hypothesis that the rise in 'prejudice and social justice' terminology in academics and media is a way of avoiding the (arguably) more fundamental problems of wealth inequality and class conflict. This would have involved looking for terms like 'wealth inequality', 'minimum wage', 'housing costs', 'unemployment', 'unions', 'class conflict', 'inherited wealth', etc.

All told I don't think any of the above socioeconomic factors are the most important problems facing human civilization - resource exhaustion and ecological and climatic destabilization are far more likely to pull the rug out from under the whole project. That of course would amplify inter-group conflicts, but that's a side effect, not the central driving factor.
Broad selection… curated, taught, and graded by people with certain viewpoints which have been increasingly shifting toward the extreme end of one side of the political spectrum (whether they believe it, or are simply playing it safe)… churning out generations of graduates who just happen to come out the other side with the exact same viewpoints and a distinct lack of tolerance for anyone who doesn’t agree with the ideologies they were exposed to.
