Of all the movies Kinski has done I saw Aguirre and "The Great Silence". I really liked Aguirre because it has a more positive vibe to it. The anti-happy-end of "The Great Silence" is also very appealing, yet really…
Thank you, now it makes sense to me! :)
Why are you so specific about 3)? If it's a joke, then sorry, I don't get it. :)
I hate to write this, but it must be more expensive than $80 to raise, brain-wash and train a human to become a suicide bomber..?
I was thinking more about resources like clean air and water. Humans used to pollute rivers and air because they treated it as a free resource. However, the cost of air pollution are health problems. There is no such…
Not a contradiction. The capitalism Smith describes is actually fair.
Well, in theory anarcho-capitalism should also ensure a fair distribution of resources. It's one of several currents of the Libertarian philosophy. I found an interesting write-up about some real-life Libertarian…
Hey, I thought the same when reading this paragraph! :) Are you in for living in the woods and preying for food when humanity becomes a society of degenerate VR junkies?

Not sure which part of Europe you are speaking of, but I have to pay around 15% of my income for the (mandatory) insurance, which then provides me with (almost) unlimited health care. If you are unemployed it is a lot…

I live in Germany, and health care at a bare minimum is around 150-200€/month, which is the "social" tariff. We also have a pension system, but you also need to pay a monthly contribution, depending on your income.…
Honest question: How do you handle health care issues? And how do you plan for times when you're more likely of not being able to do physical work anymore (in your 70 or 80s)?
I think because this would be only about being self-sustained, without generating additional income. And there lie the downsides: No early retirement, no health care, no social insurance..
I can't answer the question for OP, but for me it would be * Pursuing my own goals * Working directly on something which benefits me * A lot less boring than sitting in the office all day * Not sitting in an office at…
I'm really curious about database development. What level of experience are you looking for? Are you open to remote work?

If only there would be a way to write a high level description of a web server which shomehow gets translated into assembly.. :) Just kidding, nice effort!
Personally, I prefer to get wasted every now and then, instead of getting into the habit of consuming a tiny amount of alcohol every day. But to each their own.. I also strongly believe in this: Everything in…

Back in 2006 I had an internship at Siemens. In that particular building where I worked they still had a Paternoster elevator running. Always made me feel a bit uneasy to jump on that moving thing.
I'll do the screencast for the beer only. :)
My first thought was that this sounds like an idea taken from microkernels. Is this a correct analogy? Would it be sufficient to use libos and fuse to call the Linux kernel a microkernel? What would be missing?
