What kind of policies are you referring to? I don't quite understand.

It should be recognised that meeting the needs of consumers and meeting high standards for the workers is a difficult thing to get right. Meeting the needs of consumers when it comes at the expense of worker rights I would argue is a bad

Co-ops would be a great idea, if it weren't for the fact that they have to balance automation with caring for the workers, which is highly inefficient for making profit, which is necessary to survive in a capitalist ecosystem. Paying w

Thank you for the insight. I was being semi facetious with my comment; owning the MoP isn't the only required change for a Socialist society; I had similar thoughts to yours with regard to segregation of the more and less productive. T

I wonder if we could close it even further if we let the employees control the means of production .

For me even earlier; before I came to university it was around 19:30, and now that I'm here dinner is available from 17:00 to 19:30..

The reason for this is exeedingly simple. Marx theorised that instead of seeing the people behind transactions, rather we focus solely on the trade itself, the commodities involved. This is a simplification of the theory of commodity fetish

Out of interest, what are some of these? I have a hard time believing that the implementors of the Perl regex engine chose to write it that way for no reason while the Thompson NFA figures are thrown about. I knew there must havevbeen somet

What is 'Crony capitalism', and what evidence is there for it? This "It's not capitalism, it's crony capitalism" is Capitalism by a different name. You need someone to defend your private property, which usuall

And really don't forget that KDE actually has a file picker that lets you browse by thumbnail, something that has been missing in Gnome since a bug about it was filed in 2005, and it's still not there (yet).

Was the author aware that perhaps the desire to have a 'consumer operating system' was not in the hearts and even minds of many developers of the "Linux" ecosystem?

Of course it would be more effective, but it's hard to coordinate individual ambitions and goals within one project, so much so that it will cause splits or over-engineering of features just to please developers. I don't know if G

I think the general reason is that it's a lot 'more' with not many benefits. Things seem to be blown up and large, almost garishly so. The window title areas are large, and on systems with bad or no graphics acceleration it w

I have never used Swift, but I can confirm that writing a Lisp is a lot of fun in something like C or Go. I especially like the fact that you can build in so much raw power by implementing Lisp macros for example.

That doesn't sound like a very nice thing to do. I wonder if capitalism is to blame, as I would certainly blame capitalism, or good old fashioned egotistical rivalry that I'm told was common in many areas of life then between the

I completely agree. One common thread of argument re the age at which one is not one's parent's property is that it's adulthood, the age at which someone can be reasonably expected to make informed and rational decisions for

No matter what I can't motivate myself to work for my university first year degree. And going to the library doesn't help either, I seem to find myself just sitting and not doing much at all.

I don't think that the anguish that someone feels due to having photo/video of them distributed justifies censorship, and I think that there is even less justification in the case where the 'victim' (I put that in quotes

Refusing to defend what one regards as an odious law is not the same as consuming the material yourself. I am also against such laws, yet I do not consume the content myself. Please do not misrepresent or mischaracterise people in order to

What about the labourer? He is still being exploited when if it weren't for the profit motive he would not be required to sell his labour. That difference in profit, once the cost of the machinery and its maintenance is substracted, co

I'm doing ECE in my first year on university now, and so far the labs are pretty boring, except for where we are making our own CPUs using xilinx then loading those onto an fpga. We're way ahead with state machines etc. in the dig

The fact is that automation replaced jobs (good thing!) yet rather than the 'savings' being returned to the labourer, so that she no longer needs to work, it is passed to Amazon. That person who was replaced would no longer need t
