It's because the value of intellectual property and financial assets has displaced direct physical ownership of assets like farmland and livestock. We own S&P500 tracker ETFs instead and spend our dividends at Whole Foods or Amazon Fresh etc.
The value of intellectual property and financial assets has replaced more physical ownership of assets like farmland and livestock. We invest in the S&P500 and spend our dividends at the supermarket instead.
"4) He is partnering with capitalists to try to achieve an anarchist vision. This is a contradiction in terms. Capitalism is about competition for the working class (i.e. users), domination and centralization."
Or maybe the fact that he is doing so demonstrates that your terms and assumptions are incorrect.
At the same time, the fact that other capitalists are partnering with government agencies maybe shows that the Rothbard quote doesn't reflect the full picture.
Could be that capitalism and freedom are orthogonal concerns.
Maybe it's valid to think of Python (and Javascript, and R, etc) as a DSL, where the Domain is very large, almost as large as Lisp itself, but not quite, just missing the elegant metaprogramming. A DSL for "easy-to-use coding by non-Lispers".
A concrete example of a use case is F#, which is being used in the structured products business, where complex financial derivatives agreements need to be expressed mathematically in order to be valued.
Another great thing about these passionate unicorn programmers is they are passionate about doing stuff for me that they don't ask for very much money to do it. Just need to find some of these people!!! If you are one of them, let me know!!!
By continually trying more difficult things. Of course, you may find that as you try more and more difficult things, your skills continue to grow. So your level can keep getting higher and higher. Also, note that some people reach higher levels in specific areas. One person might be amazing at low-level, highly optimized C++ or assembly, while another person might be amazing at building deep learning systems, while a third person might be great at designing hugely scalable and robust distributed web applications. Be curious, try learning a lot of things, find out what interests you, and what you're good at, and see how far you can go down the various rabbit holes.
You make it sounds like the big corporations that pay developers good salaries are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. Apple, Google, Amazon, UBISoft, Nintendo, etc. are just as "exploitative". Part of developing your career as a software developer is knowing what you are worth at any point in time, and what your options are, and when to switch to a better option. I get the feeling the parent poster actually cares about maintaining a longer-term mutually beneficial relationship with his student/employees, which is already better than a lot of corporations out there.
The point of parent is that there are two crimes (or at least a crime and a tort) here:
- by the scammer against the bank, i.e. fraud
- by the bank against the legitimate identity owner, i.e. what the parent calls "bank slander"
Then they should create a program where specific individuals can placed on a deradicalization program and be banned from extremist material. And then make it a crime to view the material while you are on that program.
If we did manage produce a study with multiple-data-point evidence supporting it, then should we legislate to compel all businesses to adopt the conclusions and recruit the same way?
The free market already allows founders and backers to back their theories with money and compete in the marketplace.
If you aim for 90%, and a few 60-70%s slip through, you can maybe train them up or fire them. If you aim for 60%-70% and end up with a 20-30%, then you have to fire them.
Would Superman have amounted to anything if he hadn't been from Krypton, and if his father hadn't been a scientist who was able to put him on a spaceship and send him to Earth?
