@vinzv Basically now that you've booted windows via qemu you can't boot windows off your hard drive anymore, it freaks out. You can do it with other OSes though.

@vinzv No, you can't. Your install is broken now :()

As opposed to personal property, which is something which is clearly yours. My house is private property in the sense that some management company 150 miles away built it 40 years ago and charges rent on it for the purposes of making a profit. My house is personal property in the sense that I live here, my things are here, and this is where I spend my time. Why not give ownership to the people who have an actual stake in the stuff, the personal property holders?

@cereal That ties into what I was saying before. That pricing is a bad way of dropping players from a market because it selects for something irrelevant (how rich you are). You're better off just creating a lottery when a good is scarce enough that it needs to be regulated. @dtluna you're misunderstanding the leftist view of property rights. Private property is the problem: the idea that someone can throw money at a problem, then claim "I did this, you now owe me money forever"

One bit of fun with the microcontroller is that given this situation I'll probably need to hack together some cooperative multitasking, maybe a master/slave deal, haven't given it much thought yet. Current AVR project is a toy lisp, would build actual stuff on top of that.

Registered for an alibaba account today. I graduate on Saturday, hoping to try and get a wifi shield and power chip in to begin #iot experiments. Streaming before means I know how to do microcontroller stuff in C (didn't want to do processing in case I end up moving off arduino as a platform.)

b cont: by diffused I mean that the economy is so interconnected it makes no sense to try and assign single values. The value is in the widget, but the widget only has value because it was made, but you can only make it because someone dug up the minerals and built the road and built the truck and built the boat that brought it to the factory and the container the minerals shipped in and... and therefore the only reasonable answer to "who made the widget?" is "everyone"
-
a cont: By "economics don't apply to needs" I mean that it's a central tenet of economics that you can drop out of a market if you don't like it. You can't drop out of the market for food. Similarly markets as we use them in capitalism are a bad way of controlling resources because the only thing the select for is people who have more money to throw around. Among 2 people with the same income level price can arguably select for the more interested but we sure as hell aren't in that society.

@clacke b: No, because there's no ethical jobs or consumption under capitalism. "it's the landlords" implies "there should be no landlords" to people like me and @garbados. As for myself, I came around on kropotkin's views on pricing: they make no sense because the work to go into any thing gets so diffused we can't reasonably assign a value to a given thing. c: not exactly easy, but working on it :)
-
@clacke Damn, all three :) This will have to be spread out across multiple posts... a: what does market price *mean* though? If you listen to econ 101 it tells you that the market price is the marginal cost, yet this doesn't apply for things like rent. My rent is a recurring $810 charge in a building that was built in the 1970's and the company is doing no new construction, so tere is no marginal cost and their investment paid back before I was born. Beyond that economics don't apply to needs.

(choose any combination)

@clacke a: what's a market price? b: why should your ability to feed your family be tied to your renting of the houses? c: the 'landlord' is in the same situation as I am, go higher up the chain.
-
@lwflouisa Those aren't a contradiction. People's patches get shot down all the time.

The Year Without A Santa Claus is the heartwarming tale of a lazy man driven to do the right thing by sexism
-
Not like representative is used loosely either, what with the deep stakes these men and women hold in their constituencies.
-
People dissatisfied with the government like a representative for every 650,000 people isn't a good approximation of democracy or good governance.
