Has absolutely nothing to do with Capitalism. It's core to existence for any living thing. The need to create value, be productive, acquire food, trade for something, and so on, to sustain one's self. No matter what you are, if you're living, you have to do this, or someone else has to do it for you.

If you live in a society where the government, or church, or ... whatever entity, provides everything for you, that still requires someone else to do work for your benefit so you can exist.

I don't really think what I suggest goes against the article you link to. It basically says: use channels when appropriate, but sometimes the best approach is to use locks.

E.g. An bank account is shared state (similar to a reference count) and the best approach is to put a mutex around it instead of fighting with channel synchronization.

Yeah - there are a lot of different kinds of life insurance available - paying lump sums or income, increasing/decreasing at specified rates, linked to mortgages etc, individual or joint cover etc.
What happens when the needs of the customers or users change? What happens when your understanding of their needs was imperfect and needs to be updated? Is the software that met the old needs still good? Was it ever good?

What happens when the software could only ever meet the old needs, but is impossible to update to meet the new needs? Was it ever good?

Needs change. The ability for software to be altered to meet evolving needs is not simply a "technical quality of the implementation." It doesn't just have a faster algorithm. It's better software.

The 3 most surprising elements
Don't know if you noticed, but in western countries the population is aging, due to a decrease in birth rate/fertility, a decrease in mortality rate and a higher life expectancy, all leading to a sharp decline in population growth. Europe has a Wikipedia page about it, check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_of_Europe

Population growth is not really exponential, it's rather an S-curve. As soon as the quality of life reaches a certain threshold, that growth stagnates. And btw, we have long surpassed the need to be healthy in order to reproduce. Assuming somebody that dies at 35 for various reasons, by then that person could have given birth to 10 children already, something which happens quite often in the impoverished populations of third-world countries.

At this point, what we really need to do in order to survive as a species is in fact to eliminate premature death, to raise the quality of life for everybody and to find ways to drop the cost of energy and food to zero - a long shot, but in such a future money wouldn't be needed anymore to simply live, the economy wouldn't depend anymore on birth rate and maybe we would stop feeling the need to destroy our environment for profit. And maybe we won't feel the need to give birth to children in order to survive.

Besides, unless you're a selfish jerk (and selfish jerks don't contribute much to our species btw), you should agree with me that nothing is more valuable than human life.
A brief introduction to server-testing with serverspec
I'm not sure what part we disagree here. Yes, technical quality matters. But it matters way less than delivering something that users need. And yes, better technical quality ceteris paribus equals better software.

I'm not part of your downvote brigade, but I don't think letting people die of cancer is the solution. Aside from the very salient fact that there's usually suffering involved, I believe we have a responsibility to one another to advocate opportunities for full, rich lives.

Your comment is also unfeeling (as you suspected), especially in the context of this thread. I think that if you or a loved one were dying of cancer, it's unlikely that your overwhelming emotion would be gratitude that you/he/she are doing your/his/her part to help with the overpopulation problem. That may, in fact, be one point that's earning you the downvotes.

Would a subsequent increase in the population present challenges? Perhaps. But, there are other, more humane ways to deal with the problem than just letting people die of cancer. I mean, where does the logic end? Should we let known carcinogens stay in the food supply? Encourage people to smoke again?

And, the issues you cited (housing, jobs, pensions) are all fixable immediately. That is, we are not suffering from a lack of wealth or resources in these regards, but rather the distribution thereof. So, you happened to pick some really bad examples that nod to implications of economic injustice. That may be another point that is earning you downvotes.
Why is that worse?
If anyone saw an airliner on their radar, they probably wouldn't even try to confirm what it was. If they saw an unidentified object, then they'd call someone.
> you can choose to refuse an inheritance...accept [...] and get everything, including the debts...refuse [...] and get nothing, not even small trinkets

why couldn't you (as the inheritee?) "throw away" all assets prior to dying, then let your benifactors refuse the debts (which is all that's left)? Who actually enforces that you can't dispose of your assets (in a way that benefits your son/daughter/spouse), then refuse the debt?
Plus the security tends to be lousier.
If you're insured in the US (sadly, this is still a fairly big "if"...) the costs of cancer treatment will be covered, but unlike most of the rest of the developed world there are still a lot of caveats: depending on the quality of your coverage, you could end up paying very little, or quite a bit of money. It's not a simple question, unfortunately.

That said, it sounds like he's not looking for money for treatment, but for things like paying down the mortgage and car before his income is lost. This is what life insurance is meant to cover, but again, there's a wide range of coverage options and many people don't think about how much to buy, especially when they're young.

If you've just bought a house and a car and had a kid you're probably in a lot of recent debt, with the assumption that you'll have a lifetime to pay it down. All it takes is one bad accident to turn that assumption upside down. Get life insurance, folks.

You are right for the wrong reason. The problem with cancer research is that we are trying to solve an unsolvable problem, wasting disproportionate amounts of money. In some sense, cancer is a symptom of a body gone havoc. Research should be targeted upstream, to really tackle the root cause. It is like trying to fix a hardware issue by patching software. Yes, you can get some results by implementing better error correction, retrying I/O operations, etc, but at the end, you just need to change the fucking RAM module.

BTW, same thing with researching "illness related to malnourishment": Avoid malnourishment and then, there is no need to cure anything.

In the US, debt is generally tied to an entity called your estate (your financial entity post death, basically). Debt - for example let's say you have a big credit card debt - will be paid by the assets of your estate. Different types of debt often have different priorities (when it comes time for the executor or court to decide what gets paid first or last). As your estate is settled, the debts usually get taken care of from the assets (basically a simple subtraction matter). If there aren't enough assets in the estate to pay the debts, then the creditor is almost always out of luck.

No, I said an article about a culture only tangentially related to the reader will be less relevant than an article directly related to the reader.

(To note, the article wasn't about American culture, it was a personal interest piece on a person who was unprepared for the effects of the success he experienced.)

If by "other places in the world" you mean areas that are small enough or have an ephemeral-enough regional identity to have developed strong codependent identities with other regions, then I would certainly agree.

Living in a number of places has shown me that, in larger countries/communities with defined identities, internally facing publications will publish stories that are strongly relevant to their reader.

Because, as I said, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to spend that sort of space on an article that wasn't relevant to the reader.

but if you're smart about what kind of debt you take on, and take measures to not burden your loved ones with your debt, it can be a wise thing to have some debt. Not debt for a vacation or luxury, but debt for investment or growth of money. If the only reason to not have debt is because you fear the risk of dying and burdening your family/loved ones, then you are not making the most of the opportunities available.
I wasn't referring to a formal state of war (although somebody pointed out that it may exist), but to an informal one.

Under a certain perspecive, paradoxically, an informal state of war is worse than a formal one, because it's more subtle - it goes under the radar.

There has been a big shift in mindset towards accepting offensive practices as normal, which would not be accepted in a clear state of peace, or at least, which would force a much stronger opposition.

Mass surveillance? It's accepted, we're at war.
Unaccounted (mass) murder of foreign civilians? It's accepted, we're at war.
Torturing suspects? It's accepted, we're at war.

I don't think any country works that way. Either you take the inheritance and that's the whole package with debts, or you get nothing.

Also, that's different for married couples. Of course that depends on countries and whether you have a prenup or not, but married couple usually share their assets and their depts. Which means that if one of the spouse take a debts, the other is responsible for it too.

Either way it's very likely his mortgage was a joint debt. In France you're forced to take a life insurance for a mortgage, so it's unlikely someone will get in his situation. Even when it's not mandatory everyone should take one, because even if dying young sucks, it can happen.

A Man, A Mask, and a Movie: Trying to Go Viral
America hasn't had anything even remotely resembling a free market Capitalist health system in over 40 years. Starting in the mid 1960s, the US Government + states, with Medicare and Medicaid, began to take over a massive portion of the healthcare system, and directly began dictating regulation and costs, while conspiring with insurance companies, big pharma and lobbyists to restrict competition and raise costs. The US healthcare system became a giant political toy, played for votes and milked for crony cash by politicians, lobbyists and corporations in tandem.

Although I'm open to a demonstration as to how I'm wrong about that. Last time I checked, health insurance typically can't even cross state borders due to hyper regulation. I don't think you can get further away from Capitalism than the US health system.

Yeah, this particular canal has two bridges that have to open in fairly short sequence (the University and the Montlake), and I'd always assumed that it was done by a guys pressing buttons in a booth that triggered some sort of relay system.

Given the presence of the guys and the booths, the age of the bridges and the generally conservative nature of civil engineering, I'm pretty surprised that there's any computer involved in the process at all, let alone one from the early days of personal computers.
Is Github expected to take on personal liability for every repository it hosts, and provide free legal representation for their owners in court? I don't know if that's a winning business. Following the DMCA is probably a smarter move, which means taking down the repositories when a claim is filed, and restoring them 10 business days after a counternotice is filed.

Several of those counternotices were filed at the very end of last month, and the 10 business days have not yet elapsed. Github can't put them back online early unless it wants to lose the liability protection.
I believe there's a limit to how much you can give away to your heirs while still alive. Probably if you give more, you have to pay extra tax. And I can imagine that if you gave away a lot just before your death and ended up with a lot of debt, debt collectors may still be able to get the gifts back, but I'm not entirely sure about that; I'm no expert on this.
It's probably less of an issue on larger/more modern planes where your squawk code is entered with a numeric pad - but on older/less complex planes you have to switch off the transponder when changing codes since it's a series of rotary dials and you don't want to accidentally broadcast an emergency code (7500/7600/7700) even for a second as it would trigger all sorts of alerts for the controller.
