I doubt yet another religion is the solution. If anything the cast system has shown that it is able to permeate other religions, which is even mentioned in the linked article.
I dont think that is a good enough reason to add touch screen. Do you have a better reason for adding one?
One of the reasons for me to keep using a Mac has been not having a touch screen. It has become very difficult to find non-Mac laptops without a touch screen now. I for one hope they never add it.
Personally I don't care. I already have a Dell XPS running Ubuntu and I never use the touch screen even though it has one. I just think the non-hacker marketplace has come to expect all screens to be touchable.
> The price would have evened out if labor could cross borders as freely as the goods that it produces.
Not really, if that was the case for ex, everyone doing similar jobs would be getting paid the same in US or EU. I am not saying things dont get evened out to an extent, but people are harder to move than the goods they produce.
True. Still, though, it's drastically easier to move within a single country (or economic area like EU), then it is to move across the border with immigration controls - even if moving across the border is much closer geographically. You can bet there'd be a lot more Chinese workers competing for jobs directly in US if they could.
Such arbitrary limits won't work, especially now. For ex: WhatsApp has about ~50 employes[0]. The kind of wealth and value you can create with few people in software is very dissimilar to other sectors which (at least for now) requires a large number of people involved to be viable.
Another issue is what do you consider as part of a company? In the case of uber, would it include all the drivers or are they there on individual companies?
I guess all this comes down to what you are optimizing for: Quality of life for a median human or overall inequality. I think right now it is optimized for the former.
The parent is drawing contrast to other companies. For example, let's say you are an ISP. There's a clear network effect there as well. But obviously 50 people can't dig all the ditches and run all the hubs needed to take advantage of that when your country is the size of the US.
Monzo has a proper API[1] that you can use to get transaction and other info without going through some third company like plaid.com. Obviously better long term solution would be for all banks to agree on a standard API and easy access to it. But given that is not going to happen, this seems like a welcome improvement.
What I have noticed is that emacs gets most of the cool things really quickly. You might not get many complex UI elements like a sidebar that are very popular, but other stuff like language server or linters etc that are built for VScode or for specific languages gets a lot of love from emacs user community.
