Can you show me any success stories of absolute capitalist states with no market regulation? Just one, maybe?

Your argument is that it's cheaper than solar, wind, and nuclear, and that makes it better? Isn't that the opposite of things that are best for society making the most money, which was your original point? Wouldn't society be

Except that carbocation didn't point out anything. Carbocation tried to expand the scope of the original statement, which itself is wrong.

How does it not relate back to the point you were responding to? You were trying to expand the GP's statement in a way that wasn't implied. The argument that parts of the financial sector doesn't really make products is somew

Perhaps. The whole system would need some redoing as well, such as providing everyone with basic necessities. Part of the negative interest could be used to help provide those.

Perhaps banks could implement a negative interest rate. Money you don't use goes to science (or something equally "good" for humanity)?

No it doesn't. In business speak a product is something you create, good or service. The difference between a good and service is that a service's product is consumed at the same time it's produced.

The core requirement of a for-profit business is that it make money. If it doesn't make money, it can't continue to do what it does, and it can't support it's owners. Because of this, it means that companies are typicall

Isn't it that there's usually a huge counterbalance in a Clarke orbit that would keep the elevator cables straight?

If you're looking for a small and simple HTTP framework in Java, I've been working on one that I think is really nice (you might think the exact opposite): https://github.com/dkuntz2/java-httpserver

Not really. Over the course of the show they show a plausible number of crewmen (can't remember the exact number, but it was around the size of the stated crew count for the In Intrepid class). Also, only a tiny number of people died i

Arch? I had it installed on a secondary computer, and after a week I was convinced to switch my main computer over. I haven't looked back since.

His desperation may have only been because he previously had a higher-ranking position.

A do-ocracy is just a form of governance. The economic system used in FOSS is similar to a gift economy.

To be fair, the planet in Journey's End wasn't a full member but a colony world, which means they don't have the same rights as a full member. Plus, I think they just settled on that planet which would mean the planet isn&#

The Joule is basically the currency of the Federation. While most of the time in the Federation people don't use currency and get what they need/want, in Voyager because there suddenly was scarcity again they implemented replicato

I thought that the concept was interesting, but their implementation was really boring and lackluster. It's been a while since I read it, but I felt that they didn't explore the implications of everyone's incorporated or how

Which is what I was getting at...

Yes it is. The use case is when your site is down and you want to tell people that. If you have even a small amount of traffic `python -m http.server` is going to die, this isn't. How is that not an apt comparison?

That's true of anything written in Go.

Google was originally written in Python. The reason it was changed wasn't directly due to Python being a dynamic language, but that the new programmer was more familiar with C++ and that C++ would run faster.

I think the crux is that you were "morbidly curious". Being denied access through one medium isn't going to deter someone curious enough. Sure the internet is a HUGE medium, and it's a lot easier to get access to that ma

No, it translates to "it inserts soft tabs".

by dkuntz2 13y ago
It's generally a given that people use the word `tab` to refer to both hard and soft tabs.

Something I like about Go is that there's a specified way to write your Go code, and the binaries are distributed with a tool to automatically format your Go code to the specification. So, while you can write messy, unindented code, if

I'm not sure that's true (I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to the exact specifics of the GPL). Without institutions protecting IP (like patents, trademarks, copyright) the GPL couldn't exist, it's

I think the emphasis on containment and local understanding is good, especially considering that programs are getting huge (which is a separate problem, and what I think really needs to get fixed). With huge programs it's infeasible to

If the GPL was, as you claim, meant to keep that from happening, why is it totally permissible by the GPL?

Two questions: 1. How is that different than functionizing things? And, is it better? Especially because in wart it looks like your snippets can only be used once. 2. Does this bring you any advantages that well commented code doesn't?

That pains me.
