Is anyone else just waiting for GitHub to capitalise on its brand with a move into source control for the rest of the enterprise? Stuff like the swipable image diff: https://github.com/blog/817-behold-image-view-modes

The primary reason in a neoclassical model would be a lack of perfect information, wouldn't it. An employee may work for less than the value they are creating when - not being omniscient - they are unable to correctly value their work.

Yes. To use ghshephard's terminology we would prefer to move people from "low-order" jobs to "high-order" jobs. This has happened somewhat in the past; as he points out with his linked picture. My fear is that inste

This is a positive interpretation of the scenario that may well be valid. Perhaps the question of whether job satisfaction at Amazon has improved or not is a little subjective. I love your linked picture. I think that with it you imply that

For me, "The amount of jobs" is not the only factor, the quality of the job matters as well. That paragraph suggests that the productivity gain benefits workers (labour) as well as the owners, (of capital) because it creates jobs.

Somewhat off topic, but I am very disappointed in your "ugly retarded kid" comment; both that you made it in the first place; and that nobody else called you out on it. Discussion of sexism has been very prominent on HN lately; I strongly s

Have you considered price in your analysis?

I also think I would find this "inlining" quite confusing in an OOP language, where the "predict" method was a member of an object instance, containing code that referenced this/self.

can you expand on "'cellular piping' so your body can efficiently wick away waste"?

As I understand it, a cadaver is a dead human body; rather than a dead organism of any kind.

IANAL but "misrepresentating" has a specific meaning in law so that to do so would render a contract void. I do not "expect the other party to try to get as much from them as possible", I just expect that should one party fulfill the obliga

By "a bunch of paper manipulation" you must mean a legally binding contract? If something is specified in the contract, I find it difficult to see how this can be called "trickery", it is a magician telling you in advance that he may hide t

The contractor has an incentive to identify caveats, the purchaser has an incentive to pin down those caveats before agreeing to the purchase. Where is the dishonesty in that? It is the purpose of the contract.

Surely your "friend" can choose to run a node that conforms to the Diaspora protocol, but also forwards your information on. How does the trust/privacy aspect work? You know, the same kind of friend that uploads photos of you drunk.

It could be good under the assumption that other technology - compilers, virtual machines, virtualisation, web apps - has moved on to the extent that a wider variety of instruction sets could bring benefits rather than problems.

My understanding of your comment is that open markets means competition. Competitors will compete on price, forcing prices down, with constant production costs margins will "tend to zero" However this is incorrect. Where demand is greater t

You are wrong and I think it is important that you understand your error. Your mistake is that pulling the water out of a well that I own is not "the same as buying a bottle of water from a supplier". I have pulled the water out of a well t
82.
by crc32 17y ago
No, I contend that it is you who is confused. There is only one type of profit, and I am correct that profit may be derived from demand exceeding supply irrespective of the number of suppliers. This has nothing to do with speculation, it is

by crc32 17y ago
So... I pull water out of my well at a cost of $1 per bottle, later sell for $5 per bottle, have $400 in my hand, and yet my profit margin is zero. I am not sure how to respond to this. You are self-evidently wrong, unless we are to accept

"Scarcity of resources doesn't do anything to the profit margin," This is patently false. For example during a drought, most people would pay well above the cost of production for a glass of water.

by crc32 17y ago
"unless you bring some value to the game that the new guy can't." yes, like the supply of a scarce resource. This little get out clause renders your argument meaningless. If there are only 100 tons of gold available per week, (the marginal

by crc32 17y ago
I am not sure that "margins tending to zero" applies at all to any market where the marginal cost of producing is non-zero.

A more obvious side effect is that you may need to have centralised price controls. As is discussed in many places, to effect the banning of inheritance you would have to ban gift giving as well, or else a gift could be given just prior to

This is a rather strange analogy. Suppose that once this new individual arrives, the rules that I agree with him are "you pay me x percent of your income, and you may use my agriculture and infrastructure". In this context you can call it r

In the real world, the rich don't always get rich by "creating wealth". Taxation can be a counterbalance to inefficiencies in imperfect markets, and an expression of the morals and ethics of the majority.
