Unrestrained capitalism is frankly an insane idea.
It's interesting, really. Every time I see some left-winger bitching about the terrible effects of unrestrained capitalism or such they're actually bitching about cronyism
Which part of "disastrous outcomes like rivers catching fire" is about cronyism? You don't need corruption for unrestrained capitalism to be an insane idea. Secondly, why would you exclude cronyism from capitalism when laws and regulations become commodities that can be bought and sold? Cronyism is just a branch of capitalism.
Oh wow, you are in hardcore denial. I would show you the light with logical arguments and links to evidence but I'm pretty sure you're at the point where you would deny something was the color blue if it disagreed with your political ideology. As for "don't be a baby about it," when he begins acting like a respectable president rather than upset toddler crying "FAKE NEWS!" on twitter every time say something he doesn't like, I'll stop calling him a mango.
one hour ago:
Did Hillary Clinton ever apologize for receiving the answers to the debate? Just asking!
Still talking about election campaigning? Wow, so presidential!;)
It's like he was talking about the Space Shuttle Challenger without talking about it's disastrous end when I was specifically talking about the disastrous end.
Drain the swamp? It's swampier than ever. Lock her up? Zero follow up. Repeal and replace the ACA with something better and cheaper? Tried to replace it with something vastly inferior and failed at it. Quickly defeat ISIS with some magically awesome plan? Didn't happen. Muslim ban? Completely unconstitutional so it never had a chance. Bring back coal jobs? They aren't coming back. Build a wall and make mexico pay for it? Downgraded to a fence and US consumers will be paying for it. Cut spending? He wants to spend more than ever! Gut the EPA? Check.
So, that's one out of nine promises. Doesn't really seem like most.
Why do slashdotters hate government clampdowns on freedoms except when it comes to H1B visas? I fucking hate the hypocrisy of it all.
Unrestrained capitalism is frankly an insane idea. What businesses are allowed to do should be well regulated to prevent disastrous outcomes like rivers catching fire. What people want is the government to keep them safe from corporations that frankly wouldn't mind if you died suffering as a direct result of their actions. What people don't want is the government interfering with the civil liberties of individuals.
If you have a problem with H1B tech workers then make yourself a better candidate, FFS.
If you bring the individual worker having to compete on a global scale to it's logical conclusion, it means that Americans have accept the lowest standard of living of any country. That doesn't seem like a good thing for anyone but the rich.
A reasonable update to the policy would be something very simple like requiring a minimum wage of H1-B workers to be $150K (adjusted for inflation). It's very simple because doesn't take much to deal a fatal blow to abuse while keeping it available for the people that it was originally intended to help bring into the country.
Everything we've seen so far from the Mango in Chief has only benefitted businesses, the wealthy and bigots at the expense of everyone and everything else.
If you wish to cause the current system of DRM to implode it's actually really easy, you just need to know how to play by their rules. All you need to do is simulate the CDM plugin environment of Microsoft's Edge browser and package it as a single program that can write the output to an unprotected file. It doesn't even have to output an optimized video file, a raw capture will do. They will be contractually obligated to stop using CDMs because they can no longer meet the standard of the "robustness rules".
With any other browser, it would mean only that specific browser would be unable to use CDMs but Microsoft isn't about to be left out of the game they helped fix.
Like any business, Amazon's envisions becoming as profitable as possible which means they aim for 100% automation because automation doesn't need to be paid. Capitalism itself is really just an optimization problem where you extract as much money from people while giving the least amount of it back. However, like humanity working to exhaust a natural resource, businesses will too hit a point where they find themselves in trouble because of the lack of balance they have created in the economic ecosystem. Those with authority are either ignorant of this fact or simply don't care. Automation can either be our liberator or our destructor and it's up to us to decide that while we still can.
While cheapy smartphone games may be so plentiful and cheap that they can be used for cannon fodder, VR games are still relatively few in number and costly. Nobody is going to pay for $60 game to get blasted by ads. If the games were free, people would put up with it but VR games are costly to develop and ads easily spoil any type of emotional environment they work at constructing. I don't foresee this getting any traction.
And while I know you are sarcastic, it's people that think in this manner that ruin people's lives for years.
indeed. some people have not faced exceptionally emotionally stressful situations or do not know how to properly cope with strong emotions. At our core, we are still just animals that have only recently begun to act (slightly more) civilized.
The root cause of Row Hammer is physics: reading a row causes adjacent row capacitors to degrade at a faster rate than typical.
Close but not quite. The root cause is reading a row causes adjacent row capacitors to degrade at a faster rate than they can be replenished. It is a result of physics and a lack of foresight.
One solution is to add a tiny amount of cache that will prevent higher than typical access rates from draining the adjacent row's capacitors but there are other solutions that would work just as well.
Come on, people, if you are going to get revenge on the company that canned you, you're supposed to set up a daemon on day one that checks to see if you have logged in the last month and then begins corrupting backups as they are made for the next 5 months, at which time it will execute a total system meltdown that results in total data loss! I swear, you youngin's know nothin' about properly destroying the lives of those who have wronged you!;)
No, I'm not. There are lots of sociopaths, specifically people with AntiSocial Personality Disorder in business. Wall street is especially fond of them for their sheer ruthlessness and disregard for the wellbeing of the people they are screwing over daily. Sociopaths are just people with significantly reduced capacity for empathy. You specifically could even be one and not know it.
There is nothing amoral, unethical, or sociopathic about designing a complier stream line code for your processor.
While it's not wrong to optimize a compiler for your processor, it is quite amoral, unethical and antisocial to intentionally sabotage the competition, which is what they have done for years.
"That is just business" does not justify reprehensible behavior but it actually is something people with ASPD use to brush off the people who's lives they are destroying.

If you're still using Windows after everything Microsoft has done, you clearly like the abuse, so this is just one more thing for you suffer through.

Anybody (especially Fake News media)...
LOL! He's so accommodating to my argument. ;)
Enjoy your mango while you can sabbede.
Will running Windows Server really be that horrible for 1 server?
Yeah, this is clearly coming from someone that has never used it. ;)
It's like he was talking about the Space Shuttle Challenger without talking about it's disastrous end when I was specifically talking about the disastrous end.
He's followed through on many of his promises
No, President Mango has not.

Capitalism is private ownership and private operation of resources.
How entirely myopic.

Mother nature wins this year. She pulled the LARGE scale prank that people will never forget.

She's got such a funny sense of humor.
It's currently in the process of being integrated into systemd. ;)
You 'member when da mango in chief was just cheif mango back in 2016? I 'member. ;)
Why are people still using Facebook?
This was published March 30, 2017 so it's not a April fools joke.
In your face, dark matter! You ain't real, bro! *High-fives girlfriend* Aww, she's not real either. ;(

Hopefully he can find a good team and start something away from douche bags like Fuckerberg and his attempts to become a politician.
Yeah, loud mouth billionaires with political ambitions are the worst! It must be why he made all those anti-Hillary memes. ;)
