seriously? no one gives a flying fuck you learned how to use a text editor that has been around since 1979. how the hell does this qualify as front page news?
Sure !

Karl Marx originally explained the idea quite well.

Wages in a real economy is the real driver for demand. The capitalist yearning to drive down wages and cost as much as they can. That is how the system was designed !

The end result of thus maximum capital accumulation is a Commodification of labour. What does that mean ?
It means that once wages are pushed down enough - there is no room for labour to increase demand and thus generate growth ( the thing that drives capitalism ).

Once you commodity labour then the demand side of your market collapses.

--------------------------------------------------

This was what essentially what happened prior to the great depression and what happened ever since 2008.

I know people in silicon valley live in a bubble, but if you go outside you will see that the world is burning.

The reason why tech engineers are being paid 500K is not because of some inherit huge contribution to society but because huge accumulated capital is looking for yield.

------------------------------------------------------

The way historically this inherient end state of capitalism was solved was through war ( it doesn't have to be )

War de-commodifcation labour by massively increasing its demand. It happened during WW-2, vietnam war, iraq war ( after the tech bubble burst )

---------------------------------------------------------

One way to solve the european debt crisis for example would be massively start spending. Imagine a massive investment to completely reform europe into green energy. There is however no political will to pursue this.

---------------------------------------------------------

The Chinese however understand this very well, their leaders are well versed with karl marx's study on capitalism - unlike in the west where neo-classic liberalism has corrupted the field of economics to such a degree that we cannot even openly talk about marx's analysis.

----------------------------------------------------------

For example the Chinese had 0 miles of high speed trains in 2009. Now they have 6000 miles worth of it !

They spend more cement in a year then america did in 100 !

They have more green energy then then both US and europe combined - even though they had no technological expertise until recently.

The Chinese also are spending a lot on their military but its a small part. They know that it can bankrupt a society.

Their most astounding new initiative is to provide free universal healthcare to 1.4 billion people !

While we in the west cannot even get out act together to solve the greece's debt problem. We are driving up growth by inflating huge tech and asset bubble in hope of driving up demand since the government is completely paralysed to act in a decisive way.
It's a shame. You missed out on "I have not done laundry in years".
Then they'll inadvertently upload it to e.g. GitHub or similar in some source code and bad guys have bots which will steal it then make use of your account for all kinds of evil purposes.

OK, yeah, that was the one scenario I was thinking about. I just didn't know if there was some other AWS hack being employed commonly.

For this, there is at least a solution, even if people don't use it, and that is to use IAM roles. Create your root account and never (or almost never) use it, except to create IAM users with more limited permissions, and then use the AIM user for all your day to day stuff.
For me Soylent would have to be incredibly inexpensive to replace a meal or two a day. I like the idea of a cheap way to avoid going out when I don't feel like cooking, but I'm thinking ~$30 a month to replace a meal a day, not $102
"Furthermore, the author's definition of "native" is revisionist, placing it at a highly recent time frame" - this is the usage in the article I'm responding to.
Are you open to Houston? I can provide suggestions on where to apply there.
Did you get a master degree already? If not, it should be fairly easy to get into a German university to get that and go on to do a PhD. Have you already tried to apply? Which university? If you can't get into a top university, try _any_ university and move to a different one for your PhD. The best German universities will likely accept you for your PhD, if you do really well while getting your master degree, no matter where you got it.
Sophomoric. Social contract etc.
> Power generation produces 32% of all greenhouse gases

Water is also greenhouse gas...

Anyway nice island setup, for my taste it is too small. I would add a few square meters and perhaps a generator for doing laundry.

And good luck with your diet.

Facebook isn't a benevolent society dedicated to introducing people to the greater Internet, it's a publicly traded company interested in maximizing returns for its shareholders. Unsurprisingly, keeping users within the FB ecosystem is the company's main goal, hence the internet.org expansion. This is a worrying development given how many people around the world use FB regularly but the company is not going to promote something that doesn't increase its bottom line.

Mark Zuckerberg gives lip service to the idea of net neutrality and says he supports unrestricted access to the free and open Internet, then turns around and does the opposite. The EFF and other organizations have taken the company to task for this devious bait and switch move. I have no idea whether this has had any effect but given FB's track record I suspect not.

The best thing you can do is ditch Facebook and explain to others why they might want to consider doing the same. Personally, I get very little value out of the platform and although I do have a FB account I login only three or four times a year.
vim overhyped as an editor? It might be overhyped as a programming tool (you won't write 2x the same amount of lines in a day; you will not be 5x more productive), but as an editor, it deserves every single bit of hype that it has.

No other editor stands next to vim. A lot of people dislike editors. It's fine. There are a million tools out there that help people become more productive programmers. You might enjoy IntelliJ or you might not. You might like cscope or hate it. Tt doesn't matter. One needs to find the tools that helps him in their day to day job. But if you need an editor, vim is no doubt the single best out there.

Mention Me | London (London Bridge currently) | ONSITE

Global: Amazon Web Services is hiring!

Customer focused, technically deep candidates across: Solutions Architects, QA and Test, User Experience, Software Development Engineers (and managers), Technical Product and Program Managers [ONSITE]

https://aws.amazon.com/careers/?nc1=f_hi
Roach-motel markets: you can get in, but you can't get out. More technically, monopsonistic or oligopsolistic factor markets, where the number of employers is small and thus control hiring in the local market. (Though I would expect Nebraska to be fairly competitive in hiring, given its surprisingly large number of finance and insurance companies.)

>"If all you want to do is e.g. (map somefun mylist), being
able to concisely define executable "objects" (closures), inline if necessary, is very useful."

It is interesting because this is exactly how C++11 implements lambdas. Still Scheme's closures are more convenient although C++14 is closing the gap.
But, you really have to be a fan of the shit-and-blood aesthetic to enjoy it.

Reminds me of Shabbat lamps. Since observant Jews are forbidden from using electricity ("starting fires") on Saturdays, what they do is turn on the lamp on Friday and just keep it on the entire time.

That way they're not using any electricity.
Okay that explains a lot, thank you.

The article mentioned Soylent 2.0 several times so I searched and found hours-old news articles about it, and become very skeptical that this whole thing wasn't just a big ad for Soylent 2.0.

1. Concerning your first argument (consequences of birth):

Since the results of the process (birth and rearing) cannot, in a free society, be taken away from an individual and used to benefit others, then what might you propose as a socially acceptable solution? Perhaps a "white man's tax" to be paid by all men/women lucky enough to be born white? Or, to generalize, a "race tax" to be paid by all based on the current social or economic status of each race in the society? Perhaps a tax to be paid by anyone lucky enough to gain entrance to an Ivy League school (or Stanford) and so forth.

2. Concerning your second argument (success due to others):

This argument was presented by Obama in his "...you didn't build that..." speech of July 13, 2012:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_didn't_build_that

3. However, in summary, both arguments, although well taken and each worthy of discussion in it's own right, are clearly not the same as the findings that Bouchard & Mezard et al present.

Furthermore it is important to distinguish them from Bouchard & Mezard's. Merging these arguments together with Bouchard & Mezard's in public discussion would erroneously conflate all these arguments and weaken the impact of Bouchard & Mezard's findings.

NCC Group (formerly Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group) - Austin, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Sunnyvale, CA

Maybe you've been a builder, but have always thought breaking seemed more fun? Maybe you're a seasoned information security veteran looking for dedicated research time? Maybe you've always been intrigued by security, but never had a clear path for how to get started? Maybe you are an infosec wunderkind looking for a place where you can be exposed to a myriad of technologies and products over the course of a year? Maybe you mistyped a web address and somehow wound up here? With the exception of that last example, we'd love to hear from you!

Many of you will be familiar with NCC Group's legacy US names - Matasano Security, iSEC Partners, and Intrepidus Group. We're now all officially integrated under the NCC Group name and one happy family.

The bottom line: if you love security and research, NCC Group just may be a perfect fit for you.

What do we do exactly? Penetration testing, security analysis, and cutting-edge research into current technologies and attacks (breaking things). You spend most of your day thinking about security systems and how they can break. You get to be creative and have a lot of freedom to be clever while learning new technologies at a very fast pace. Engagements are usually 2-4 weeks long and in a year you will be exposed to 15-20 products and technology stacks. Your work will typically initiate person-months of security improvements in products millions of people use. You will have access to senior engineers/architects and your findings/ideas will be heard by senior decision makers. You will have enormous impact in making the software people use safer. All of our consultants are also security researchers, with dedicated research time. Not too shabby!

> Nostalgia is one thing, but sometimes things just get worse. (Look at television as an example.) You can't just write it off every time when someone notices the decline.

"Get worse", especially with entertainment media, is pretty much the definition of subjective. So, yeah, if someone whines that an entertainment media has gotten worse, it generally means nothing but that it fits their taste less. Unless you happen to share their taste, you can easily write it off.
I decided to start blogging again (first post) and I put it on hacker news, and other people upvoted it.

So to be accurate, YOU don't give a flying fuck, anonymous account guy.

But, thanks for your opinion and in the future hopefully I'll write something that you like as well.
