That's the genius of Adam Smith's Invisible Hand: it presumes that people will be selfish and greedy.
haven't read mr smith, actually, but his invisible hand is screwing up the planet pretty impressively. if he was genius, i'm guessing he wasn't that confident about the invisible hand as his disciples have been trumpeting around.
you're in a loop. teachers get paid because someone cares.
socialism isn't about reducing everything to the lowest common denominator, but about raising common denominator as much as possible. same as capitalism, actually, which hopes that wealth and wellbeing will automatically multiply with individual ambition, whereas socialism intends to rationally drive the process. and you're right, pure communism and pure capitalism fail for the very same reasons: individualism and greed. however, one difference is that while socialism tries to educate against it, capitalism tends to glorify it. viable solutions are somewhat inbetween and, gues what, scandinavian socialism has proven itself to be way ahead of any other system on several metrics so far. they are capitalists with real social education.
i said that? i don't give a crap about what web owners do, i care about what i want and don't want to see
They can put whatever they want up.
of course! and i do whatever i want when i surf the web!
Website creators don't go out of their way to annoy users.
advertisers do. to the point that ad blocking is going mainstream, didn't you hear?
There is an attitude here that because hosting is cheap owners shouldn't be allowed to make money.
there's an attitude that anyone publishing any sort of content is automatically entitled to make money from it. yes, it's also laughable. they are entitled to try. if people don't wanna buy... cry me a river.
But nobody is going to go out of business or not publish a site because people on Slashdot feel entitled.
i'm starting to think you actually don't realize that all this ad thing is much like a bubble.
Just turn on adblock. Ads aren't going away any time soon.
had it from day one, and several other intrusion protection mechanisms, long before adblock existed. i happen to have zero tolerance for ads, and i like to be the one who decides what content appears on my devices exactly when, thank you.
How is the web even usable with noscript these days?
the way most websites are built today they aren't usable with noscript either. nowadays "ux" prima donnas seem to have no interest whatsoever in providing graceful degradation.
almost half of internet content is crap anyway. the other half is assholes trying to monetize that same crap over and over again. i don't mind the least if all that disappears today, internet was just fine before all this bullshit started.
Neither Bush nor anyone else should go to prison only because they confessed to a crime. If evidence shows he knew, fine; but him simply saying he did proves nothing.
if there is evidence of a crime a confession can get you convicted. bush, of course, could retract from that confession, or it could be deemed not trustworthy. easily, most people wouldn't believe a single word coming from his mouth anyway.
Yes, but we're also the country that screams louder than any other country in history by magnitudes about how we are the land of the free, home of the brave, with liberty and justice for all.
don't worry, nobody ever believed that bullshit for a second. oh wait...
The US Constitution only applies to US citizens. Certainly not to unlawful enemy combatants.
"unlawful enemy combatant" was a term made up during the bush administration to cover arbitrary detainment, torture and assassination. it was explicitly abandoned during the obama administration (whereas perpetrations continued). the term never made any legal sense whatsoever since "enemy combatants" can, by definition, exist only in the context of a declared war and the us never acknowledged its agressions as such, so it's moot. even then, the victims would be protected by the geneva convention and these crimes are subject to universal jurisdiction so what the us constitution says in this regard is irrelevant. of course, that those sick bastards someday get actually prosecuted is a different story, aint gonna happen.
oh, and by the way, us citizens could and actually were declared "unlawful enemy combatants", and were abused this way.
i see your point and what you could do is this: kindly ask the developer(s) for a name change. if they are ok, then you can install it, if not, then simply you install some other thing. easy? what's the point in assembling a mob to force the developer? how dare you? so, you may be picky about names, but someone cannot name HIS OWN CREATION as he pleases because you grandma could be offended if she knew? get off my lawn. there is a name for this: "gutmensch". your point turns to bullshit IF you're not capable of displaying the same tolerance or sensibility you demand from others.
that the industry rushes to support this kind of collective idiocy is just natural: it allows them to make more money off you. it's irrelevant that they use slave work for that, unless they don't name it that way. from a supposedly intelligent open source community i would expect a higher standard.
reading the comments in that pull request you mentioned reminded me of the infamous discussion (https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/issues/376) about the name change for "testacular". it was so fucking embarassing i couldn't believe it, and that this bunch of idiotic humorless trolls even accomplished their goal (it's now named "karma")... sheesh! what's the fucking problem with these people? the statement about noordhius is indeed very enlightening of what kind of assholes cut the deals now at joyent, although that doesn't surprise me. money definitely spoils everything.
Considering that ex is wearing one I should be able to agree
clever way to sneak in that you think your ex is stupid, but you are not being very rational by my standard if you need to tell that to random strangers on the internets in an unrelated discussion. get over it.
great tatoo motive, anyway: an earthworm! of course!:D
so the public school program should only cover what *you* are interested in. interesting. maybe we don't need a public school after all and could let every kid just learn what he happens to be interested in. no, i'm not being sarcastic.
and don't get me wrong, i assume the decision in finland has been a democratic one, then so be it. i still think it is wrong. time will tell who was right.
7+ different package managing systems, 10+ desktop window managers, 4 different audio stacks some piled onto the other, 2 different replacements for Xorg
psst! relax, buddy. you only have to pick *one* of each!
if you want someone else to decide for you, just grab a distro at random and don't fiddle with it, or go windows or osx...
Do you really want to have to run apt-get or yum inside every container? No. Containers should provide process isolation and application management capabilities. They shouldn't include the OS and the kitchen sink of user land utilities.
isolation from what? one of the outstanding applications of docker is precisely the ability to recreate the exact execution environment your process needs, including all it's dependencies, in a snap. i wonder how you would do that if you had to separately manage all the dependencies your "isolated" process needs to run.
if you have to run apt-get or yum inside your container it's probably time to recreate it.
I suspect that what you mean by "the common good" is your own personal preferences
common good is full employment, adecuate healthcare, education and wellbeing and guarrantee for basic rights for the whole population. you may disagree but this are indeed the "needs and wants" for the majority of the population. capitalism hasn't accomplished these goals by far and and even lately is in clear regression.
The power hungry and their army of useful idiots cite their own sabotage as proof that free markets can't work and insist it is necessary to cede control of our lives to them. The proper response in both cases is a punch in the nose.
i don't understand. when financial institutions can screw up, busting the economy in the process, and instead of going bankrupt can be bailed out or even rewarded with public money there is simply no "feedback" to speak of, it's a swindle. when some agents in selected economic sectors can outcompete others on the basis of arbitrary sanctions, ad hoc regulations or de facto monopolies there is also no "free market". without feedback and real free market capitalism gets out of control. and that's not to mention environmental spoil, resource depletion and massive "externalization" of costs.
but you think it was me or somehow the angry populace who is responsible for that sabotage? the same way you could blame the people for the failure of communism. by omission? maybe. maybe it's time for the pitchforks. but the real problem is corruption at the very top. today's capitalism is corrupt to the bone.
black market doesn't necessarily mean organized crime. where he speaks of, lots of small transactions are made every day in cash and with no paper/electronic trail to avoid taxes, specially vat, mostly because people is broke. this would be very difficult without cash, but then cash isn't going away anytime soon in spain, no matter what apple, google or mastercard play. some locations even use their own unofficial currency, and even barter. this kind of tax fraud gets mostly a blind eye because it largely reponds to necessity and would be very difficult to fight anyway, and because it's hardly significant compared to enterprise/political fraud, which is rampant.
500 euro bills are a totally different issue indeed in the sphere of organized crime, from drug trafficking to politicians to football teams to you name it and back. but although spain is probably the most corrupt state in europe, the crime rates are nowhere near those of usa. it's a different game: those are no blood criminals, just high profile cheaters. i really don't see those bastards using organs or slaves as currency, they would resort to gold, lottery tickets, whatever.
The reality is that it was the wealthy economy that built the infrastructure, except the government destroyed competition and private initiative
what planet do you live in? energy companies are private or have been privatized for decades now and have any government you could come up with by the balls. it's a friggin mafia, if not *the* friggin mafia.
you just gave a very accurate picture of whay capitalism doesn't work either.
"Also, the decisions are done at the local (individual) level, which is also the only place where a ranking of needs and wants is possible.", of course without regard for the common good. from there it's all downhill... just like the "central power" model.
in our actual experiment free market and feedback are already just fallacies, they don't exist anymore at the golbal level, where it counts.

It should be obvious, but in order to protect your data (), you have to keep it from companies ().
It is a no-brainer actually.

Why should website owners be limited
i said that? i don't give a crap about what web owners do, i care about what i want and don't want to see
They can put whatever they want up.
of course! and i do whatever i want when i surf the web!

The entitlement attitude is not coming from the website owners. It is coming from you. Don't use the web of you don't like it.
don't publish if you don't like users.
Sure, it would be nice if everything was free in this world. It's not.
as a matter of fact, the best stuff *is* free. i'm sorry for you if you think otherwise.

Ultimately all law is an expression of the will of the people choosing to live under it.
if you drop "ultimately" yes, that's the general aception that's sold to you. ultimately, however, law is the violence of the powerful.
The alternative ends in violence and misery, until a new agreement is reached.
and that's why it is sold to you, so you don't dispute it and don't demand a new agreement as often.
