Didn’t HN collectively loose their s..t when Microsoft did something similar with Win 10 telemetry?

Low level functionalities and typed languages aren't necessarily equal, though.

I think the problem here is mandate. That's seen as a venture into the private markets, which no EU governing body has, unless it's some form of PPP or something similar. EU's mandate is creating a harmonized, balanced market

Best comment in this thread. To the point and factual.

If we're are talking about Rust criticism it's pretty average in terms of tone and substance.

It's an economical question. Not philosophical, not political.

> Political economy is the predecessor to economics, and is (in some places) still alive today as modern/radical political economy. I know that. What I still don't know, is whether you've meant Adam-Smith-proto-economi

I’m not sure what you mean exactly by “political economy”? In any case, what is excluded usually from definition of means of production is human capital. Slavery is decidedly not that. It is the ownership and dehumanization of people. Ther

by jevgeni 6y ago
Well, I'd argue that slaves were the means of production. But also things like olive oil presses. There's this example of an ancient Greek philosopher Thales essentially inventing the option derivative contract by buying the right

The Roman Empire had a pretty thriving and developed usury economy, so I'm not sure why you think it's a modern thing. Also, just FYI: the term "capital" as used by economists doesn't mean money. It means ownership
403.
by jevgeni 6y ago
In very early stages, yes. Until humans figured out that ownership can be concentrated by using violence.

by jevgeni 6y ago
Why would philosophers have a say in this? But point is, that question is far from settled. Especially if you consider the key features being the free market and private property, then capitalism goes far into BCE.

That first paragraph is a single sentence... Tried understanding what you are saying a couple of times and I just can’t.

It’s seems a rather peculiar definition of capitalism, if it emerged so late.

It's a decent article. Defining "scrum" in a debate-club fashion here is meaningless and is actually a valid strategy to discredit any criticism of it. 1. Scrum being a "philosophy" itself isn't clearly defined

by jevgeni 6y ago
I'd agree with that, but it doesn't require that productive people are "loners". Best programmers I know are brilliant in communicating with people, setting standards, and so forth. Even if they sometime crank out a libr

“Worked” isn’t exactly right. “Was popular” is better imo.

Anything with “analytics” in Settings, if it bothers you, I guess. Catalina bricked my iMac recently, so I can’t see what I did myself.

Win10 developer experience is far better than Mac OS. And way more versatile. Not to mention the brain dead design of UX when somebody FaceTimes you while you are developing in full screen mode...

MacOS does quite a bit of telemetry as well.

You can be completely factual, but still do propaganda by selectively presenting facts, choosing the order and context of how you present those facts and supplementing those with a healthy dose of speculative non-falsifiable questions (&quo

See, saying that BLM is fake isn’t really an opinion. It’s a lie.

ZH has become a propaganda outlet. I’m not sure how you can come to the conclusion of “it doesn’t lie to you”. If you don’t know who the owner of the news outlet is and you are not actively paying for your news, you probably shouldn’t trust

I worked in derivatives trading. ZH was mostly laughed at. At least lately, when it became a more racist RT.

ZH follows the narrative of RT and Sputnik so close, it’s scary.
