Manorialism only existed in Europe during the Dark Ages. Food prices have begun increasing worldwide, meaning that fewer people can afford to eat. And the food aid the United States sends is sold in the country where it arrives, and the proceeds are used to fund relief efforts. This is a very inefficient use of food aid, and it's one that the host government has nothing to do with. As for my last sentence I was talking about absolute wealth. Could the king have a cellphone in 1200 AD?
Not every market can be made into a perfectly competitive market with perfect information as is required for a market to find a Pareto optimal solution. And they are trying to portion out the spectrum so that all viewpoints are accessible. Do you really want one person controlling what you see and hear even if they bought the rights to do so?
There is a finite amount of oil below the ground. We are pumping it at a faster and faster rate. One day it will vanish entirely. There is a finite amount of topsoil, and every annual we grow on it leads to some erosion. Today our world has 6 billion people. If only 1% of them are starving that is still 60 million people. We have enough food to feed everyone, but we don't. We could give everyone in the world clean water and sewers, but we let 1 billion people worldwide suffer the effects of bad sanitation. Never before has so much belonged to so few.
And what's wrong with making sure that blind people aren't begging on the streets for food? Because that's what happens if you deny them access to jobs and stores. Do you really want blind people to have to drive to the store because they can't order what they need via the internet?
Kudos refers to reputation. And it's very different from money. If you make something for someone rich and famous you get kudos from that action and lots of it from many people because you are well known, not because you sell it for a lot. Read the scene with the tailor in it again.
I wonder if you have ever worked on a team with someone who is a complete and utter asshole. No matter how good they are at what they do, the effect it has on you being able to do your work more then cancels any gains from his work.
Humanity won't be marginalized. Who will be marginalized are the people with no power, money, or votes. The power of the elite will be enhanced by this. Now I don't need to employ stasi to watch everyone all the time, I can use a computer that doesn't have the brains to be anything but a loyal servant. I don't need to risk soldiers turning their guns on me when sent to quell a protest if my loyal robot drones will efficiently and painfully kill everyone there. The history of technology and warfare is pretty uniformly negative on this point.
I take it you haven't placed much thought on the possible consequences of some discontent bungling first contact with some very powerful space faring species that takes offense easily...

You mean pentagonal.

w7 is implemented on top of Scheme.

Functional languages are much better from a security standpoint. Look up Omega-7 or E if you don't believe me.
Why do you think economics is the dismal science?

No worries about clouds and the supply will not be affected by the seasons.
Privacy and safety are both illusions. And we do bad things to the people who disillusion us.

Ever hear of multitasking? You can feed starving people while giving them an education.
Capability based desktop is actually almost idiot proof.
Thank you for rediscovering Marxism.

The issue isn't the ID, it's the documentation required to get the ID.
Nicaragua brought charges to the ICJ, but the US refused to abide by the judgment. The security council had nothing to do with that.
Why do you think POSIX and the LSB exist?
Aren't RedHat and Debian both POSIX compatible?
Why is this a troll? It's a dry witticism about the standards of "evidence" the MAFIAA employ when arguing for themselves.
The problem with deflation is it makes investment not worth it, and hence limits economic growth.
The court would declare the case moot and refuse to decide it. IANAL
Sending agents in to assassinate citizens of a nation is a legitimate causus belli. It's the one we used against Afghanistan.
