Not necessarily, because the workers need a capital investment to either design(lab, testing equipment) or build(tools, factories) the robots. This means that at least some portion of the wealth they generate will go to the capital investor

I agree that it is a legitimate concern if you believe that only software patents are a problem but want to keep your other patents available. They probably left it this way because there is no legal definition of a "software patent&qu

How are patents at all aligned with "truly open sourcing"? The GPLv3 is openly hostile to patent litigation: "and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent

When you use the loaded term "pirate your tech", you mean "infringe your patents", right? The thing that the clause is trying to neutralize? This is why Facebook's move to neutralize patents failed - everyone'

If workers get the same amount of money within the $0->$2000 bracket, what benefit do the employers get in paying them more? This introduces an easy corruption scheme where employers provide minor work benefits to employees who are willi

I don't know what idea your statement is supposed to express. Let's start with this - what is gender? I know what biological sex is, roughly; I thought gender was a synonym for it(this may be a translation/communication barri

That sounds like a positive, if the end goal is the elimination the abomination of software patents.

The article doesn't really argument whether it's just the high-tech cities, like Stockholm, or the whole of Sweden that is ready to become a "cashless economy". How could you write such an article and not examine the sit

Programming is my hobby as well as my job. I don't think it's controversial to say that people can find plenty of time for their hobbies, even with a family; therefore, you would expect someone to have plenty of time for programmi

I don't like TDD, I find it focuses too much on ceremony and too little on practical issues. However, writing new code by using a single test as a workbench seems like a huge win. When you're adding a new feature, you need to ge

He's only expelled from the school and publicly "known" as a rapist, no big deal. But you're right, it's not criminal liability, which is why back when this was still a new thing advocates wanted it to be more than

Doesn't the level of grandmaster evolve over time - it is essentially a competition between players who are getting better and better? That means you're not asking whether a 25 year old can achieve a static goal(e.g. read 50 books

tl;dr: they're good businessmen and do their best to preserve the wealth they were handed over from their parents. The article spends too long telling irrelevant stories to make its few points: - owning land is a great way to get rich

This is fascinating! I love the duality presented side by side, how they react in a completely different manner to the same topic. It's also a bit sad, because it reminds me of the pressure to colour news with more opinions, take stanc

I don't think this feature is "utterly unusable". You can run your JS, wait for whatever events you want, and then pipe the resulting HTML to a --print-to-pdf command.

GP started with "If what you say is true", so the following discussion would be under that assumption.

I don't think that's the fault of JavaScript - it does not specify the event loop itself. ES6 has generators, so all you need is an enqueue(fn*(){}). There's already an enqueue in the browser - setTimeout(), and one in node -

Kropotkin's "analysis" is a nice soundbite, but it's just bashing a strawman and proposing a dream-like utopia to replace it with. Feudal times were nothing like capitalism. The capitalist "class" is fluid, unl
