Thanks, guess I could, this is just a result of 2 hours fighting with bugs in iOS Safari's CSS transitions. Compared to that, velocity JustWorks™.

However, I'm not sure about how to let user provide his own transitions, especially in cases where they'd like to use this in multiple controls - would something like require('velocity-transition-group')({ myTransition: {...} }); work for you (so that we wouldn't be passing transitions to each instance)?

Plus, there is this issue I found: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/2456 - it seems that if eg. you use require('react') while a component uses require('react/addons'), they both seem to get 2 different instances of React, and the events don't propagate from one to another. I'd like that to be resolved before packaging this into module people will use without reading the manual :).

Edit: Thinking over it, I also need to read about how does browserify + react + components as standalone modules work out: Can it happen, that if a component specifies 'react' dependency in package.json, and containing project uses different version of React, that browserify would actually package 2 versions of React into a resulting file? That would really really suck!
Ok, let's use the dictionary definition:

"A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole".

Most countries are like that, the US and European countries included: those countries own the means of exchange (they decree the fiat money they own as the only legal currency) and they regulate the means of production and distribution (exacting taxes and benefiting cronies).

Moreover, what those countries have is definitely not Capitalism, because capital comes from savings and most (all?) of those countries have a trade deficit (even major exporters) which means whatever game it seems to be they're playing amongst each other isn't the usual praxeological capitalism where both parties profit from a trade. Right now they're playing a game called QE, with Japan winning (which means, losing).
While I agree with other commentors that ReactOS in general is slowly becoming irrelevant, I do believe making NTFS a read and write file system via open source would be a useful addition. I did a hunt a little while ago for ways to read and write NTFS on Linux and Mac, and didn't find many options (commercial or open). The most common response (beyond "reformat!") was to just mount the filesystem in a windows box (or windows running in a VM) and share it over a network connect, which abstracts away the file system, though adds overhead.

(BTW: For mac, I found Tuxera and Paragon, and the "built in" non-supported approach to writing NTFS. For linux, NTFS-3G (with proper fuse support) was the go to, but I found corruption under load in my minimal tests, which probably reflect my setup and lack of experience more than problems with the software)

Have you guys found preferred ways to R/W mount an NTFS volume or partition or USB drive without having to do a network mount for Linux or MacOS? Could this work in ReactOS become the seed? Or is considered a solved problem?

I believe he is implying that the goal, "keep the general population employed/occupied to prevent unrest" is consciously held by some 'oligarchs'.

However, the systems which accomplish that goal have emerged via trial and error and were not consciously designed by the 'oligarchs'. The 'oligarchs' watch the broad trends and have supported changes to the system that supported their goal and have hindered changes to the system that do no support their goal on a case by case basis.

I suspect the 'oligarchs' striving for the above goal is not a 'conspiracy' among the elite so much as a shared cultural belief in stability.

Doh, its too early.
My google-fu is failing me, but I believe there's a study out there that postulates that the most efficient utilization rate for a secretary is about 40% -- in other words, they should be idle about 60% of the time.

The thesis is that the primary purpose of a secretary is to be available to do work. When the boss wants something done, an idle secretary can do it immediately whereas a busy secretary has to finish what they're doing before moving on to the next task.

Obviously the study contains a bunch of simplifying assumptions, but the general principle applies to many service jobs.
Don't take it out on socialism! Under those principles, the banks either would not have existed in this form in the first place, or been allowed to go bankrupt just as you suggest.

Why do airplanes still have ashtrays in lavatories?
Quite a lot of people have died or committed suicide in the UK recently, because the government decided to change the rules around disability and chronic illness. It hired a shill organisation to declare that the disabled, chronically ill, and dying were fit for work.

So bedridden terminal cancer patients have had all benefits cut and told to look for work.

This is not an exaggeration, by the way.

Graeber has missed something very obvious. We do not have a market economy. What we have is a <i>status</i> economy.

People who get useful stuff done have low status, because in the bullshit economy the ability to get and hold status is the most valuable of all skills.

So all transactions become a test of relative status, and people who have to do productive work have lower status than people who move status tokens (i.e. 'money' and 'power') around. And the weak - the homeless, the ill, the disabled, the outsiders and minorities - have the lowest status of all.

Apple Pay Loyalty Program Due to Start Within the Year
I was able to spend the last 5 years or so working almost 100% from home (that's changed as I've switched jobs recently). I would say I easily did the same amount of work from home as I had in the previous jobs, but I probably really only spent 12-20 hours doing it in any given week.

I think the key though is "available for 40 hours" as you say. Even if I was only spending a fraction of the time "working", the work didn't come in a steady state such that I could just hammer it all out in 2 days and screw off the next 3. I might have to spend 30 minutes answering a phone call here, or an email there, or run out to make a site visit to a customer on one day, and then spend that afternoon writing up a report about the visit, whatever.

Most of the reason this happened is that, just like with any manufacturing job, you can't keep on steady work if your work inputs are delayed, and just like that, white collar jobs also have work inputs and outputs and they get hung up for all kinds of reasons, so you practically can't keep up a steady work tempo no matter how much you might want to.

Using Elasticsearch in E-Commerce, Part 2: Simple Analytics with Aggregations
This is preferable to Basic Income:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Works_Administration / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_guarantee

For the following reasons:

* It it proven and was highly successful during the previous depression.

* We actually do have a lot of infrastructure which needs rebuilding and projects which would make all of our lives better (high speed rail, mission to mars, etc.)

* People actually like to work - to feel useful. Basic Income will prevent the unemployed from starving but nearly ALL of them would rather have a guarantee of meaningful, stable, reasonably paid and respectable work than just getting paid to stay at home all day. The PWA provided that.

There is actually a good example of a public works program that was turned into basic income (Plan Jefes in Argentina). Unexpectedly, large numbers of the people who were part of it CONTINUED to work at the jobs (things like caregiving) even though under the new basic income rules they no longer had to go.
As far as I know, the job market is not demand driven. So, the number of people who work isn't really determined by how many people need money. It is determined by how many jobs there is.

In other words, jobs don't exist to provide people with money. They exist to provide the boss with labour. The fact that people need money is just very convenient for the capitalists.
Tea Party members voted against bank bailouts. Not democrats, not old-republicans. My point is, yes, you can buy democrats and some republicans to vote in favor of more government spending. But you apparently can't buy them all to do it.

During cold war you could try to buy Moscow communists as much as you wanted so they allowed you open bank branch in USSR, but this would never happen.

You can try buy guys like Ron Paul all day long in attempt to get bailout, but you won't get it.

The problem is with the voter. If the feeling at the Capitol was that there will be severe punishment for the bailouts, our beloved Senators and Representatives would be too worried to loose their office to vote for that nonsense. Mind you they can sell their services to other industries too and make money in the process without the risk of loosing office (aka "everything"). The voter allowed them to do that. Because voter doesn't understand that bankruptcy and crisis are important parts of economic cycle. And are needed! To remove excesses from the system. To relieve workers from BS jobs too! So you can start over after 1-2 years in healthy economy without zombie banks. We didn't allow capitalism to work. Blaming capitalism for that doesn't add up.

BTW, I respect socialism and socialist movement. I'm liberal on social issues as liberal you can get. But for the economic issues Right just gets it.

Leisure doesn't have to be indulgent. It simply gives a lot more possibilities. If you could work on any project or interest or hobby you wanted to right now, what would you work on? If you could learn any new thing you wanted, what would you learn about? Any family, friends, neighbors, or others going through a hard time right now, how would you like to help them? This is the sort of stuff we should be teaching kids in schools too, about the possibilities of free time. It can be about a lot more than just recovering from the exhaustion of work.

I understand your point, but key escrow and most corporate use cases don't overlap. You are better off not managing user keys, with or without key escrow, and, instead, securing your links back to your infrastructure with a VPN and encrypting your storage to secure data at rest. Key escrow gives you no more protection, or access. It's just more complicated.

Key escrow, therefore, is only useful for spying on individuals' interpersonal communication, and Baker knows this very well.

To Some a Citation Is Worth $3 per Year
It probably varies. In my experience working construction this was absolutely not true. There was definitely some down time here and there but the majority of days we worked close to flat out from 7-4:30 (2 15min breaks + 30min lunch). Ditto for summer I spent working on an assembly line where there was even less downtime (although it was not nearly as physically demanding).

Frankly, working a manual labour job would be an eye opening experience to a lot of white collar workers.
I wouldn't immediately assume that someone working in my organisation put zero thought into his allocations.

Sometimes, does it matter at all? Once all important things get done eventually and relatively in time and the company earns enough money to chug along, it's just cost of doing business. The idle hours couldn't sometimes be cut away without hampering the productivity during active hours either.

In public sector the situation is trickier. There are no objective indicators of how productive the office is. Unnecessary hours can easily pile up. There needs to be something that forces prioritization and tries to improve effectiveness. I'd say a fixed tax percentage might work: if the government can fund more of itself by raising taxes then it must work to prioritize its activity to only do the necessary work and to support the companies in that country to generate more profits.
You seem to suggest that a niche, minimalistic toy example should always be accessible to non-developers.
The answer clearly isn’t economic: it’s moral and political. The ruling class has figured out that a happy and productive population with free time on their hands is a mortal danger (think of what started to happen when this even began to be approximated in the ‘60s). And, on the other hand, the feeling that work is a moral value in itself, and that anyone not willing to submit themselves to some kind of intense work discipline for most of their waking hours deserves nothing, is extraordinarily convenient for them.

This has always bothered me, even before I was old enough to join the "work force." I had a hunch back in the day and have subsequently confirmed it early in my career: working less promotes better, clearer thinking, and ultimately a higher volume of results (i.e. when I work less, I end up getting more done).

This is incredibly telling of our times:

Hell is a collection of individuals who are spending the bulk of their time working on a task they don’t like and are not especially good at. Say they were hired because they were excellent cabinet-makers, and then discover they are expected to spend a great deal of their time frying fish. Neither does the task really need to be done – at least, there’s only a very limited number of fish that need to be fried. Yet somehow, they all become so obsessed with resentment at the thought that some of their co-workers might be spending more time making cabinets, and not doing their fair share of the fish-frying responsibilities, that before long there’s endless piles of useless badly cooked fish piling up all over the workshop and it’s all that anyone really does.

I encounter this more often than I'd like to admit. Brilliant, talented, positive people finding their core competencies squashed under meaningless political bullshit. I constantly shudder at the idea of what these people might accomplish if they were given the resources and freedom to do what they were actually good at.

I've been reading Freedom From the Known by Jiddu Krishnamurti and this one excerpt really speaks to this problem:

For centuries we have been spoon-fed by our teachers, by our authorities, by our books, our saints. We say, `Tell me all about it - what lies beyond the hills and the mountains and the earth?' and we are satisfied with their descriptions, which means that we live on words and our life is shallow and empty. We are second-hand people. We have lived on what we have been told, either guided by our inclinations, our tendencies, or compelled to accept by circumstances and environment. We are the result of all kinds of influences and there is nothing new in us, nothing that we have discovered for ourselves; nothing original, pristine, clear.

>It's hard to believe, for instance, that a "corporate lawyer's" work has no social value.

It REALLY isn't that hard.

>The job of lawyers isn't even to win legal battles, but to avoid them in the first place.

Right, they run the full gamut from avoiding legal battles with communities that are trying to shut down polluting factories that damage their health to avoiding legal battles with people who have suffered injury, incapacitation or even death from using their products. Using every trick available.

Their job is to make sure that large corporations are protected from us and they are paid handsomely for it.

You consider this 'social value'?

Here's Graeber's answer to this argument. [1] His answer is phrased indelicately because the question he was answering was also phrased much more indelicately than yours was:

Well, I keep emphasizing: I’m not here to tell anybody who thinks their job is valuable that they’re deluded. I’m just saying if people secretly believe their job doesn’t need to exist, they’re probably right. The arrogant ones are the ones who think they know better, who believe that there are workers out there so stupid they don’t understand the true meaning of what they do every day, don’t realize it really isn’t necessary, or think that workers who believe they’re in bullshit jobs have such an exaggerated sense of self-importance that they think they should be doing something else and therefore dismiss the importance of their own work as not good enough. I hear a lot of that. Those people are the arrogant ones.

How can the voters exert punishment when who's even running for office is determined by the amount of money available for campaigning? Even disregarding direct corporate sponsorship, the rich who mostly contribute are still affiliated with the industry & finance sector. Average Joe can vote for puppet A or puppet B. People like Ron Paul, with firm principles, and the means to finance themselves despite sizable opposition, are the rare exception.

Add to that the fact that no ordinary citizen directly voted for the bailouts, how can you blame this on the voter? The problem is not the voter, but the system.
Answer: the jobs are caused by the competition. Competition is what makes them necessary. If a company doesn't spend on marketing, other companies will outmarket it. If a company doesn't have a legal department it will crumble under a barrage of high-digit lawsuit damages. If a country doesn't spend on defense, it will be annexed by one that does (that some countries manage to escape this is an illusion stemming from the fact that the U.S. or similar large bloc effectively owns them already and is spending on defense in their behalf).

There is one job of value to society that teachers, etc., are failing (or succeeding; take your pick) to do: managing their own sustainability. The unlisted list item on all job descriptions is "protect this job from backstabbing, layoffs, budget cuts, or impoverishing or killing the person who takes it." Snarky aside on engineers: we are usually bad at this, because, just like I said, it's not in the requirements.
I think we might be talking about different things. My understanding of this articles is:

(A) A lot of work is bullshit from either a 'gives your life meaning' or a 'is useful to the world' perspective. (B) Everyone working full time is such a foundational part of our society that we don't know how to change it without breaking the world. Work is our identity, our drive to get good grades in preschool, the way money is distributed in society, a politically stabilizing force, etc.

You're talking about what we could do if we lived in that world.
