That is because after each trouble on the streets or in the factories there was a change in laws regulating work conditions, social privileges like holidays and health care etc. You consider those riots etc as a failure but in fact were there not these failing revolutions we would still enjoy the social conditions of Manchester era capitalism combined with modern technology.
I think Japanese society differs on that at least in number of different areas. I actually would prefer a clean robot instead of dirty humans for sex service industry. The nazifems would be pacified too in this way...
Maybe it is. I do not know. They did indeed measure the wages and workloads across industries. TFA says Germany, Denmark and Italy was under investigation. There are many sources most of them paid but it seems to me that at least some [careful: German] point to the following - those in lower half of earners do earn now less than they did in 2000 and those in higher half more. This is not a steady development and is limited to Germany and to last 15y. If this is taken as a basis then the study in TFA still holds - as it says in principle that better earners earn more and lower earners less. This fits nicely to developments observed over the ages - redistribution of wealth to the top followed by riots, uprisings. wars and revolutions where it equalizes and process starts anew. How TFA fist with general perception of declining industrialization across Western societies I am not sure. Certainly Germany is not a good example for that - how many Germany like societies do we have in the West tho?
The article comes from robohub so it is biased obviously. If one read the actual work the perception changes slightly (From the neutral estimates we get "some of the estimates are negative and close to significant"). Still I consider this work as a proposal rather than the actual reality. Not decided (yet).
The GP's method is to pick up few things and build model based on that. This has advantages of course. We use it while doing models of anything. The question is how much you can ignore safely and whether you are ready to accept change of view that will change of the model. GP seems to be going the path of faith which is funny on a site that by vast majority rejects faith as an attribute of religion. Other than that it is a tough world where haves and havenots 'share' the same space. Conflicts are inevitable. On the trees we fought occasionally: for a mate or for food. Not much changed except the methods of this fight.
Redistributing wealth arbitrarily is distinct from socialism/communism in what way?
There are many systems to which attribute socialism and/or communism was attributed in a reasonable way accepted by intelligent and educated people (this excludes most of US population I am afraid) - all of those systems indeed redistributed wealth one way or the other and did many other things. However I know no functioning society that does not engage in some sort of distribution of wealth. That is human and societies that would not do it would need quite some oppression and/or propaganda machine to keep the less fortunate at bay - something that is also a way of redistributing wealth (to oppression workers&media workers and owners). Looking at imprisoning rate in US - the land of the free is walking this path already.
As to being a luddite... you're saying that the robots should not be permitted to automate industries IF "reasons"... Standing in the way of that at all for any reason is opposition to the most efficient means of producing something in the economy.
I looked up GP and GGGP posts - nowhere there there was a desire to put automation on permit. Besides that if I go on and proceed to automate each and every activity that you are trying to start&execute - will you be happy? There is a limit to everything to automation too.
As to the notion that there will be a "workers revolution"... that is literally right out of Karl Marx.
There are different types of revolution - The guy whose work made that word popular was certainly not a marxist (do you know who that was?). Besides people not happy with being evicted from their homes because often hit the streets and one need military or military like force to stop them. That happened with and without Marxist ideology and quite frankly a foundation of some states is based on that awful idea of revolting against economic oppression (USofA come to mind too by the way).
So... you're almost certainly a marxist.
How relevant is it, what political view GP has? Does it bother you that other people are allowed to have views that you dislike? Would you prefer to put them into reeducation camps? Actually that is normal way of dealing with enemy of the status quo. The winners usually have a chance to explain why that is good etc. thus shaping our morality and ethics. Still calling somebody a marxist makes no valid argument. It either only releases the tension or serves to intimidate your opponent in a discussion. I could call you 'stupid Murican' too but neither I know whether you are stupid nor that you come from USA - it just looks like you are one of those 'Muricans' - not sure why would that be relevant to this discussion except that people from other side of the pond have strongly biased views of the world which often makes them look simple minded.
Which is cute because the ideology is obsolete. It was applicable to the industrial revolution... robots amongst other things killed it.
By which you want to say that oppression and associated poverty ceased to exist? They just changed the way we all change. This is other progress than technological -- the moral and ethical progress that prevents us from enslaving, killing, maiming etc. It is also telling us (well most of us anyway) that letting fellow humans rot in ghettos for instance is not the best for our society. Not sure why it would be that a robotic revolution resolves all the issues that plague our societies from the start - would their use abolish property rights thus relieve us from haves-havenots dilemma (are you a marxist by the way?) - there is no sign of it yet and I think the struggle will continue and will continue changing. At some point we will possibly stop killing and imprisoning each other but I doubt this will happen soon. I am also not sure if I like the way this may be achieved. We shall see. What I am
Following orders while being on losing side can and usually have bad consequences. when at the same time following orders while on the winning side is OK. Predicting which side is going to win is difficult at times and people may have no choice either.
As for juice thief - there are trains where taking juice out of the train's outlet is OK - in continental EU it is. Sometimes there is no juice there for a passenger to have (the few Polish trains I used did not have it as a matter of principle, Germans usually have some, did not check Dutch and Swedish I used). I would assume putting a nice plague on it 'not for public use' has been done but then again I think in this day and age you could even turn off single socket from the train if you wanted to so having socket meant for maintenance (I assume that it was one) juiced as per specs while passengers are there and then getting angry was silly and mean. The guying being a fanboi was probably a big asshat so this was one of those situations where it had to escalate.
I know this is unpopular here but have any of the people that so enjoy engaging in 'bash the flash', produced any application similar in wide at least once that was used as often as flash is/was and was faultless. Go on show us.
This is not to say Adobe could not have done more to improve security of course.
Then again if a FB asshat is saying something about switching things off and/or on - one must consider the reasons he is doing it - most likely it is not to your benefit as a user.
for profit maybe but assuming it is non-state agents as reports do is going to far. First argument was - embassies were not targeted . Maybe they did not target them but their colleagues from across the hall did. The profit motive is also irrelevant - we know that sometimes the agencies need double cover so one operation can finance another.
That is correct. At least as far as I can observe on myself, my family, friends and from what I read. Assuming it was possible for general population to get people to get less sleep and function properly the armed forces including air force pilots would not have to resort to drugs to keep going without enough sleep. This of course does not mean that with some discipline you cannot forgo sleep for one night but there are limits to this too. There are people that sleep less. Some of them suffer from - everybody is like me (but are to lazy to be as successful as me) delusion.
I may even agree with your assessment of different situation until you go over and start BSing all over about how meaningless a punishment in Finland is.
The best part is - tough on crime only blew the population in prisons out of proportion. This is the only effect it had. Most of other countries of so called Western civilization do this a bit more rationally by which they not only save money but also get most of criminals back into society.
There is more to engineering than coding. Managing people is not as easy a task as some people make it sound. There are of course different projects. Still if the only thing you can do is coding than you are stuffed. You are indeed no better than the average coding monkey that can be hired from the global pool. This actually applies to managers and testers etc. and fortunately is sometimes still valid in hiring circuses around. The other thing is - in general no bounds or limits on capital movement means that being a worker sucks big time - you can never be as flexible as capital flowing over the world. This actually applies to almost all job types around. You get good life only if you get ahead of other monkeys. There are 7 Billion of monkeys here you compete with tiny but still for you huge enough part of them so watch out!
If that is true (which it may be) how about a legal obligation to have a valid insurance - if your insurance is voided you are not supposed to be on the road or? So it is not an issue of insurance claim only but a breach of law?
If you were caught at 3am urinating in playground of a kindergarten while on the way from a session then you may find yourself on register as child molester, destroying your life indeed forever.
This may be pushing us all into either keeping all convinced rapists etc in public housing also after they served their sentence or we would have to offer them some way of hiding their real ID which would make finding them difficult enough for an average Joe. With progress of technology the late option will be less and less viable I suppose. So either this, they go into underground or we have to accept them as they are among us. I am not sure how this relates to court orders about removal of misinformation about your alleged deeds but somehow I find none of the options really acceptable.
Considering all things involved - like sick leave, times between contracts, time off, skills upgrading, health and pension premiums that you also have to calculate in this is probably just about fair rate for a skilled engineer.
are in this day and age done indeed by libraries. Chose one that fits and for each language usually there is more than one choice. What this means is that If you really have a choice of language for your project and want to see if certain tool is useful just make a prototype. There is no better way really. At the end it is like buying a house or getting married - you have good things and bad things in each choice but if your choice fits your and your teams profiles then with a bit of luck you will have success with some but not unreasonable amount of stress.
The toughest punishment would seem to require the most accurate judgment and as we know lots of prisoners come out free from a death row after DNA evidence was verified. The same evidence that FBI labors apparently fucked up so much that one would think the error was systemic and not sporadic as one would hope. Taken this into account one would be forgiven to think that for crimes of lesser weight the procedures used were more relaxed.
This all is only for failures in the system that are failures also with current law. The whole deal or rot forever system is broken too. Not too mention that US systems are rather brutal - comparing to other countries considered civilized - less apparent violence in all other Western countries. DEA and all he corruption that is associated with it adds to the whole misery as are mandatory minimum sentences. You can look at specific failure points but how about looking at statistics and showing why US has to incarcerate and execute so many?
Tough on crime sells well. US citizens dislike liberals. Every criminal freed from prison that fails to stay straight is a reason to go for maximum. There is a lot of nonsense in US justice and penitentiary systems (as well as in law and law enforcement) and some people supporting this nonsense profit from it while having enough funds and not feel not enough restraint to use the wealth to support own position when law is created/revised. Who can blame them - it is American way....
In my previous project we had to save costs so much that we never had an updated document/service showing current booking/usage of our development, test and target servers. The result was that we had to negotiate use of some chains, work in shifts etc while some chains were idling. I have not lasted till the end so I do not know how successful the project was. I guess it was very successful - after they switched off all the machines they had more power than they budgeted i.e. managed to get to profit without customers!
At least on paper...
This is probably wrong - assuming a solution you propose is used (which does not have to be the case) you would still want to run some sort of watchdog signalling to be sure failover machine is up and ready. This means effectively you would still have some communication.
well I had an encounter once with a product that had a feature developers called poor man's redundancy/failover - a doubled system that was neither really redundant nor was it able to failover. Switching off the other machine would indeed save some costs.
In my career in big corp I started with arguments as in your short sketch and augmented my approach with escalations to technical authority. This worked till bookkeepers forced us to optimize on use of technical authority which back then was company wide with spocs etc. I was forced to use abuse in form of forcing the enemy to publicly admit failure. This stopped working few years later as we moved to modern leaderless way of working so there was nobody to front the show of shame and blame - people just do not listen and revert to lies if things go as bad as I shown or worse. I shortly tried "you fucked it, AGAIN" sort of approach, it worked by catching management attention - I resort to it only in emergency now because of troubles that it involved with meetings where I had to explain my outburst with HR etc. Instead now I have developed two pings approach: report failure followed by a bit more extensive explanations just in case the other side had brains and was willing to discuss (it still happens although not very often). If this ended in failure I document the discussion and move on. It is bitter joy but still a joy to see them failing exactly the way I predicted. It is bitter because they then say they could not prevent it even if somebody told them etc. Cost my corp few mills already I would think but who gives a ff - if they were short of money they would try to arrange projects in efficient way instead of firing good managers and engineers and moving it all to Zamunda. And so it goes. Only few years left to pension why should I bother?

An upstart breaking that system means going back to the bad days when taxis were unregulated.
Then that alone should already be enough incentive for people to use regulated taxis rather than Uber. ...
That is not how the world works. There are reasons why commons have been(mostly) destroyed.
