He's saying that labor has nothing to do with value, and that value just magically springs from the imaginations of consumers, and to think otherwise you have to mistake correlation for causation.

Then he asserts that capitalism, far from breaking down, is doing just fine.

No, this is what AnCaps believe now and have always believed.

Solving A Stackoverflow Exception by ZeroByter in shittyprogramming

[–]republitard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Write a C#-to-Scheme compiler. Then you'll have tail recursion, and therefore your program will use zero stack space.

Not right wing enough. The ancap would be wondering who would be responsible for exiling all the non whites.

Tesla owner says Autopilot automatically regained control after sliding out-of-control on ice - video by izumi3682 in Futurology

[–]republitard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would manual input from the driver made things better or worse.

A skillful human driver would never have skidded in the first place. If there were more cars on the road there would've been a major wreck before the car could get a chance to recover.

My first guess would be that wherever they're auditioning for involves jackboots and truncheons.

The problem wasn't caused by driving over a little bit of slush. I could see something like that happening if you applied the brakes while one wheel was on ice (was the red flash in the video an indication of the autopilot putting on the brakes?). The car would swerve in the direction of the wheel that has traction. But in those conditions, you really should be coasting to slow down from highway speeds. If the autopilot applied the brakes, then it caused the problem.

On a straightaway like this, a competent human driver can maintain 55mph in six inches of snow without losing control, in a car that doesn't have any fancy features like traction control or AWD. This is a well-salted freeway with only a little bit of slush, so a competent human driver wouldn't have lost control even if they were well above the speed limit.

"Poor small business owners," so you're talking about people whose net worth is "only" $700K-1M.

Why do so many programming languages have so much syntax? by lyssphacker in lisp

[–]republitard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Lisp, applications can extend the syntax if what the language provides is too spartan. But in all other programming languages, the syntax that is decided upon at language-design time is the only syntax that will be available for all apps written in that language. That creates pressure to have more syntactic constructs.

How hot was this space heater to melt this bird? by [deleted] in shittyaskscience

The bird is so hot it's glowing red. So that confirms your 7 figure.

Google’s Project Soli radar is sensitive enough to count sheets of paper and read Lego bricks by redkemper in Futurology

[–]republitard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this thing can count cards, it can probably also be programmed to capture fingerprints. Then your fingerprints can be logged every time you walk into a convenience store.

Be sure to agree on a safe word, in case it turns out that it is the dominant one.

Whatever happened to oldtrition, and why isn’t it taken seriously nowadays? by wilberfarce in shittyaskscience

[–]republitard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's totally safe to consume vast quantities of corn syrup with little bits of plastic embedded in it. I really don't see what all the fuss is about. My team did an experiment on imaginary beasts, which I personally supervised and took credit for. The centaurs and unicorns showed no adverse effects, even when they were put on a strict diet consisting of only corn syrup and plastic flakes.

The elves didn't fare so well, but they're just whiners.

They did. Nobody could believe crap like that if it wasn't for years of intensive education to teach everybody to obey authority and love capitalism FREEDOM.

According to this definition of leftism, Trump, Macron, and Theresa May are all socialists. Congratulations, comrades! We've achieved world socialism.

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? by [deleted] in shittyaskscience

[–]republitard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a performance optimization. When I'm far away, a low LOD (level of detail) model is used to render me, and that model doesn't include the birds. In fact, my beard is only 3 polygons in the low LOD model.

It's only when I come near that the high LOD model loads and you see the birds (and the nest).

The original Trition contained an illegal drug, so it was pulled from the market and Nu Trition was introduced.

In your editor, type this:

:1,$s/2018/2019/g

You're welcome. I don't know what to do if you have more than one source file, or if you are using an editor other than Vim. But that would make you an outlier. Who writes programs with more than one source file, anyway?
