Give the masses just enough income so that they do not take notice of your ill gotten wealth and tyranny and rise up and hang you in your guilded enclave. We can not allow people to actually contribute to society, work and profit from their own endeavors and be independant could we?
Human beings are required to work and be productive at something. If an economic model doesn't provide that outlet then psychological problems tend to happen such as, depression and suicide.
That is why it is a curse to have lots of money.
Sure it is fine for the first year or so, but then you become bored or you indulge in self destructive behavior.
So to avoid that an economic model should include everyones participation. So far, the best model we have is free markets coupled with a Republic/Democracy.
Nobody has found a better solution yet at scale.
The code of ethics, the oldest which is Judao Christian/Western ethics embodies this idea when it says you are not to covet they neighbors goods.
It implies you can own things, from the fruits of your own labor and keep them safe so you can plan your existence in a predictable way.
Without that, predictability is not something you can plan for and you have no control over, such as in Communism.
The state plans everything for you.
People have all sorts of faults of course. The largest one is, being lazy. The other is lust for power.
The majority of us, do not wake up in the morning with the first thing on our minds is how to control my fellow human begins. Most of us wake up and look forward to the work day and what sorts of things we can contribute or work for.
But obviously, those who seek power awake with the first goal on their minds to start their day, and this is a problem no matter what political or economic system you pick.
But Universal Basic Income basically makes the human soul rot. With a bribe everyday from governments, corporations or individuals who want to control you.
So you do not act, and restore your own destiny so they can live on their private little islands, or enjoy their "you can't fire me" government jobs.
Because the statement is hollow: "Sound good," posted one of their commenters, "though ultimately I'd like kernel devs to adopt Rust as their main Linux kernel development language. Beats the crap out of C and C++ combined."
You have no scientific proof. It is your opinion.
People have been attempting to replace C since it was conceived.
Sort of like the idiocy in configuration management systems I see today.
Lets throw RPM and well know configuration management tools we have used for the past 20 plus years like bash shell scripting and invent a way to configure boxes by adding not required additional daemons, Oh lets also throw in different languages and screwy config formats like YAML. That way we can boost the requirements on our resumes for higher salaries so we can make things incredibly overly complicated, to even updated a single.conf file in etc.
I call BULLSHIT on you CF Engine, Puppet and Chef admins.
Like these management systems such as puppet..etc....you have no proof these systems like rpm and C should be replaced for build, configuration or programming.
Other than the fact it wasn't invented by a very naive generation of idiots out of college who like to pretend the last 20 years of the computing industry was a mistake and really doesn't exist.
Just my opinion, but everyday I manage thousands of boxes with bash and rpms for config management. I also patch using the C language.
Works great, and I don't need to learn Ruby, YAML, or create daemons for clients, or secure their firewalls...or...
Exactly how does this relate to his product performance at Google?
I work with a lot of people that say interesting things in memos, but our organization doesn't fire them. (You know....you might have heard about that thing called a constitution...or whatever...)
You might get a trip to human resources if you threaten people. But stating your views on gender issues or professional issues is not a firable offence.
The best thing that could happen here is to break google up into about 100 companies, maybe seize the boards/CEO's assets.
Put those assets to work in seed startups on power, energy, food, transportation and of course computing and bring back the free market.
All of this money thats being locked up and hid offshore by these CEO's and boards is a waste of human potential really.
We of course have laws that recognize this, but they are not being enforced.
So then next thing after we break up google is to start looking at the judges, political class that broke those laws by not enforcing them. (Democrat, Republican or otherwise.)
Strip them of their US citizenship. Then let the immigration ICE people handle it.:-)
No NVidia Licensing issues anyway, and AMD since opening up its drivers are more reliable now on all platforms as many more engineers are working on drivers in the OpenGL area than Nividia is on Direct X.
One example is games and I found worked surprising well with WINE now, and I was able to dump my Windows Guest with VFIO to run FAF.
Really you can accomplish everything in C, Java and BASH.
Build and deploy thousands of machines, and you don't have to throw 30 plus years of systems engineering under the bus because some idiot out of college wants to use python.
The entire economies of the West are now owned by the banks.
Who owns most of the companies stocks? USA, Eurozone, Japan?
Banks.
Who owns the most real estate in USA, Europe, Japan?
Banks.
What does this result in?
A planned economy. We have a planned economy now, and the banks print money into the stock markets to grow it or contract it.
We all know how planned economies end? Collapse.
This has been possible through the illegal consolidation of the financial systems and markets into monopolies such as FANG.
This happened because the laws are being ignored to rape and pillage the real economy outside of Wall Street/Banks and these go directly into politicians pockets.
The people you get to pick from to elect.
We don't even have a democracy in this sort of system, which many people are starting to figure out.
This from the same state that said it would provide every illegal with FREE Healthcare? Even knowing what the budget numbers where in excess of a trillion dollars they voted for it anyway?
Where is this money going to come from to hookup every home with Fiber?
Maybe they could add a RENT tax, so that if you pay $3800 a month rent now, you would gladly pay $4700 a month rent with a nice tax.
Portability is a sorta of a half truth, and doesn't do JAVA justice.
It is portable INFRASTRUCTURE.
If you have a JVM you have all sorts of infrastructure available that goes way beyond the language. So for example in the definition you describe portability is limited to the language and compiler output of the binaries for different processors.
Java goes a couple of steps further, besides a binary its environment defines a consistent portable computer that includes not just portability, but security sandboxing. It insures that the environment is consistently portable.
So if you can port the Java VM, you port ALL software. Thats not true if you port a C program, even though C is immensely portable you just ported one program written in C.
There are other fascinating aspects to JAVA which will more than likely last even longer than C has due to just this on example. But as you can see, it is a huge advance in protecting ones investment and insuring software written today will only require ONE port of a VM to run on new hardware tomorrow.
No way are the jobs going to be anywhere near 53K a year, try like 32-40K. Probably no benefits or worthless ones.
In 5 years this goes bust, at those salary rates most people can't buy what they are putting together after they pay rent, taxes, food and Obamasteel My Dough care.
I would write down every single name that voted for this and when it does go bust in 5 years string them from a tree.
Secondly, you know, I wanna start a storage company. I have been working on various storage ideas for a new multilevel file storage system for LINUX which I think would have a lot of commercial potential. Not going to see the light of day because I can't negotiate these sorts of contracts with these companies to legally graft money from the locals.
No offense, but I will keep my file system code to myself, and everyone who voted for that can go F themselves.
Given the advances we are seeing in Electric Vehicles, and new propsoed infrastructure projects propose by Trump many of the cities stand to be revitalized, with more efficient self driving buses and vehicles.
All electric, which will drive emissions to focal points at power plants which will centralize their eventual reduction.
Also my first car got 24 miles to the gallon. My new Jetta gets 31 miles to the gallon, and some of the newer gasoline engines coming down the pipe will be even more efficient.
Each 5mpg increase in efficiency per car probably destroys billions in Oil revenue and millions of barrels will not be burned.
if we ever solve the battery issues, everyone could own their own electric car eventually.
But right now there is no way everyone can drive an electric car as there is not enough lithium to go around unfortunately.
So we need a different battery tech. I am hoping Copper Sulfate.
Why? Industrial Fertilizers based on OIL products have been saving lives for decades now. Literally, many people would die without it. And I'm not just talking about starvation, I'm also talking about diabetic patients.
Fixed it for ya.
PS: GMO is crap by the way...unless of course you want to patent the entire food supply for more than likely neferarious purposes.
Leave them alone please. I don't want chemical side affects from your immature understanding...childlike actually of proteins and biological science from all you PhD's out there.
Countless times it has been shown how half the twitter followers espousing such things as open boarders, free food, health care, housing free everything (unless you are an american citizen of course) are pretty much fake.
Accounts for Congressional members on twitter are and their followers numbers probably fake too.
I mean have you watched the news lately? You know, there are other things more important going on right now than trying to remove a individual from office because the oligarchs don't like him.
I would like to see more news coverage on what is being done in the middle east to reduce the conflict there, or how trade is working out for this country.
I am so sick and tired of the new programs airing nothing but Dump Trump crapola 24/7.
Well, I submitted my buyback in December and haven''t heard a word from Volkswagon on the issue.
On top of that, when I call about my car they consistently tell me my signed papers aren't in order, or my papers are blank, or my papers are not received from their settlement portal or they are notorized wrong...the excuses are endless, and of course all false.
It is starting to get sorta irritating and although I signed papers to not pursue further damages, I didn't sign papers with the intention they would lie to me on the phone, obfuscate the return or just simply ignore my phone calls, which I am starting to consider that the offer was in bad faith.
They better start responding to my inquiries about my 2015 TDI or I am going to get an attorney and sue them based on bargaining in bad faith.
I think most I know don't like people coming into their country breaking laws, particularly Immigration Laws.
Some people are upset. Some people are more upset than others.
Importing large amounts of people using the law to enable legal immigration, to malign, or aggravate a local culture in a country is probably a bad idea.
I can't think of something more politically charged than importing large numbers of people for the gain of a few, to undercut the hard work of a local culture to educate themselves only to find that they are priced out of the market. You can see this happening in the USA right now and it is creating structural problems economically that, are going to be quite explosive in the coming decade.
This idea that anything goes for profit or labor cost to obtain unfair trade deals by leveraging Third world people in a 1st world context will bring war if it isn't stopped. It incites people to listen to these globalist complain they can't find qualified people to do a given job, for example, when they are being blatently untruthful and only care about the cost of labor.

Oh how lovely.
Give the masses just enough income so that they do not take notice of your ill gotten wealth and tyranny and rise up and hang you in your guilded enclave. We can not allow people to actually contribute to society, work and profit from their own endeavors and be independant could we?
Oh heavens forbid no!
Merry Xmas slaves and Happy New Year!
Why not just avoid the Windows hassle and buy a Chromebook?
Besides it will probably run better and give a better experience.
Just my opinion.
Couldn't possibly be an Indian. They are a very kind people.
Had to be a Russian! Those are nasty people.
Just watch CNN and you will see.
PS: MY toaster didn't work this morning and Putin left me a note saying he broke it on purpose!
"One of the most mysterious and innovative figures in technology..."
Really? Who says and what new revolutionary break through in software did this guy or his company produce?
I have a different view.
How about you employee people in third world countries and use their labor to destroy the living standards of 1st world countries?
That is one of the tenants of Globalism.
It isn't innovative, and it certain isn't mysterious.
If it seems immoral, it is. Capitalism requires even rules for everyone on both ends, both Capital and Labor.
These people should be paid 1st world country wages, or their should be Tariff's on the labor.
Lets see how innovative and mysterious this guy is when he has to compete on a level playing field with everyone else.
We (Facebook) Russian scraped some of your data and sold it!
There fixed it for ya.
Human beings are required to work and be productive at something. If an economic model doesn't provide that outlet then psychological problems tend to happen such as, depression and suicide.

While you and your kids live with no future.
They told us we were too dumb to make our own stuff.
Then they told us that people are too expensive to make our own stuff.
Then they told us after automating the factory floor, making labor costs insignificant we have to have a monopoly or we can't compete.
I wonder what their excuse will be now why we can't make our own stuff?
