What about work 11 hours a week and be happy? Works for me, and I am a freelancer. Edit: I usually do three blocks of three hours each and one two hour block each week. I find three hours perfect to tackle a problem, and a good chunk to be

Right now its mostly about “divide and conquer”. They inject moles into political groups which will then actively push for violence and extremism which in turn causes a split of the group. Another effect is that people that are active in op

I guess you are not involved in politics? There is a lot of evidence that we should be very afraid of the state if you look at Verfassungsschutz activities. They are monitoring a lot of people who oppose policy backed by the state and the

When I say revolution I usually don't mean a violent uprising. While historically speaking that is what it means, I do not think future “revolutions” will be fought with violence. The times when you could behead a bunch of monarchs and

Saudi Arabia is a medieval country. They have far greater problems than vanishing jobs and a one-sided economy. Its really a disgrace to humankind. Revolution now, please. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_S

What do you mean by fix? I am talking about improving the situation. History has proven this is very well possible. Women can vote now. Slaves in America became rare. There is a notion of human and international rights, which is quite new.

I find the notion that humans can be more or less inhumane troubling. Its really just arbitrary segregation whose only use I can imagine is to dehumanize persons. Same goes for calling people sociopaths etc. Everybody does what they think i

Good riddance. Firefox OS was a technical disaster. It was vulnerable by design as it had no capabilities for updating Gecko. I had hopes for it, and I will happily continue to use my first generation ZTE (70 bucks) FxOS phone, but I am hap

If you ask me they mostly need software engineers, not “CS people” especially. Whenever I talk to a scientist about their software, I see great opportunities and interesting problems that are solved in suboptimal ways. To be blunt, scientis

> that's why virtually no jobs actually pay the minimum wage. What? Most jobs pay less that minimum wage. > E.g., in the last BI experiment, work effort was reduced by 13% - more than double the effect of the great recession.

Just an anecdote: Since I started using Slackware Linux, I have never had any problem with my system. I like the idea of functional package managers, Guix especially. But for me personally the problem they are trying to solve does not exist

The writing in this piece is horrible. "Free parties were popping up all over the country, and there were many in Bristol. That's when ketamine came flooding into the city." Differentiation? Anybody? As far as I am concerned

Good point. Still, I would prefer a coherent dialogue instead. I feel like debunking uninformed objections gives those objections more recognition then they deserve. I wish for smarter or at least less stale questions.

Unless you cite any scientific sources I am going to be blunt here: You are dead wrong. About every point you try to make. Its exactly the other way around. Give people minimum wage with no perspective and they will learn to love the TV. Gi

So you would pick a different language based on the lack of an existing Jenkins interface library? They would lack 90% of Common Lisp then. Not a good trade if you ask me. Edit: I assume you are down-voted because most of your post is wrong

I assume their macros do compilation of an expressive DSL to efficient low level code, as one would expect in their domain. So keep in mind that this is something pretty fancy you can pretty much only do with Lisp (or by writing a full blow
