This OT but wonders me still: for somebody that dislikes Karl M. you definitely talk a lot about the guy and his works. Looks like an obsession to me.
As for the contradictions: all males are like you say they are i.e. do not care for anything that is not competed for? If women are uncomfortable only when competing with men then it still does not prove they do not compete. I suppose many examples show they actually do only in ways that escapes some troglodytes (that is not a reference to you just to general male audience that populates this site, including me - that seems to be what people in IT usually are).

Why is the flamebait given here while GP is getting 3interesting? I disagree with the 'vagina is always right' promoted by nazifems but even more with /.ers throwing verbal abuse with verbiage closely related to randtardism and nazi-feminism i.e. as GP did.
Feminazis are evil and are also counterproductive. So are randtards and right wing bigots. You could for instance solve part oft he problems inherent to the IT industry by enforcing simple labour rules of pay per hour spent and limits for overtime per year - but that would be communist tactics meant at destruction of capitalism or even universe as we know it. Similarly you could resolve big part of discrimination against blacks in US by working against poverty and exclusion that it causes (access to education and health care for instance). But that too would be a communist agenda at work. It is really tiring indeed to have the 'too few vaginas or whatever in X' articles but it is also tiring to have meaningless rants by bigots against anything that does not fit into their little minds.

Here I FTFY.

These results are surely conspiracy of greeners, communists, pederasts and other abusers. They surely did something to the sensors or data. It could also be that in order to prove global warming actually occurs they did something terrible to cause it (drove bigger cars and ate bigger steaks etc).

For those with no interest in human contact (besides occasional pr0n) the future looks bright only if they have enough money to guarantee human contact free life, the others will have to suffer of course although their suffering will bear distinctive tones comparing to that of other suckers.

are you at all human or are you a bot for Uber like corp doing propaganda work?

What about hetero female traditionalist visiting the hotel and others that prefer the proper penetration, you insensitive clod!

That is because after each trouble on the streets or in the factories there was a change in laws regulating work conditions, social privileges like holidays and health care etc. You consider those riots etc as a failure but in fact were there not these failing revolutions we would still enjoy the social conditions of Manchester era capitalism combined with modern technology.

robots obviously do make lives of some humans better.

I think Japanese society differs on that at least in number of different areas. I actually would prefer a clean robot instead of dirty humans for sex service industry. The nazifems would be pacified too in this way...

Maybe it is. I do not know. They did indeed measure the wages and workloads across industries. TFA says Germany, Denmark and Italy was under investigation. There are many sources most of them paid but it seems to me that at least some [careful: German] point to the following - those in lower half of earners do earn now less than they did in 2000 and those in higher half more. This is not a steady development and is limited to Germany and to last 15y. If this is taken as a basis then the study in TFA still holds - as it says in principle that better earners earn more and lower earners less. This fits nicely to developments observed over the ages - redistribution of wealth to the top followed by riots, uprisings. wars and revolutions where it equalizes and process starts anew. How TFA fist with general perception of declining industrialization across Western societies I am not sure. Certainly Germany is not a good example for that - how many Germany like societies do we have in the West tho?
The article comes from robohub so it is biased obviously. If one read the actual work the perception changes slightly (From the neutral estimates we get "some of the estimates are negative and close to significant"). Still I consider this work as a proposal rather than the actual reality. Not decided (yet).

The GP's method is to pick up few things and build model based on that. This has advantages of course. We use it while doing models of anything. The question is how much you can ignore safely and whether you are ready to accept change of view that will change of the model. GP seems to be going the path of faith which is funny on a site that by vast majority rejects faith as an attribute of religion. Other than that it is a tough world where haves and havenots 'share' the same space. Conflicts are inevitable. On the trees we fought occasionally: for a mate or for food. Not much changed except the methods of this fight.

There are many systems to which attribute socialism and/or communism was attributed in a reasonable way accepted by intelligent and educated people (this excludes most of US population I am afraid) - all of those systems indeed redistributed wealth one way or the other and did many other things. However I know no functioning society that does not engage in some sort of distribution of wealth. That is human and societies that would not do it would need quite some oppression and/or propaganda machine to keep the less fortunate at bay - something that is also a way of redistributing wealth (to oppression workers&media workers and owners). Looking at imprisoning rate in US - the land of the free is walking this path already.

I looked up GP and GGGP posts - nowhere there there was a desire to put automation on permit. Besides that if I go on and proceed to automate each and every activity that you are trying to start&execute - will you be happy? There is a limit to everything to automation too.

There are different types of revolution - The guy whose work made that word popular was certainly not a marxist (do you know who that was?). Besides people not happy with being evicted from their homes because often hit the streets and one need military or military like force to stop them. That happened with and without Marxist ideology and quite frankly a foundation of some states is based on that awful idea of revolting against economic oppression (USofA come to mind too by the way).

How relevant is it, what political view GP has? Does it bother you that other people are allowed to have views that you dislike? Would you prefer to put them into reeducation camps? Actually that is normal way of dealing with enemy of the status quo. The winners usually have a chance to explain why that is good etc. thus shaping our morality and ethics. Still calling somebody a marxist makes no valid argument. It either only releases the tension or serves to intimidate your opponent in a discussion. I could call you 'stupid Murican' too but neither I know whether you are stupid nor that you come from USA - it just looks like you are one of those 'Muricans' - not sure why would that be relevant to this discussion except that people from other side of the pond have strongly biased views of the world which often makes them look simple minded.

By which you want to say that oppression and associated poverty ceased to exist? They just changed the way we all change. This is other progress than technological -- the moral and ethical progress that prevents us from enslaving, killing, maiming etc. It is also telling us (well most of us anyway) that letting fellow humans rot in ghettos for instance is not the best for our society. Not sure why it would be that a robotic revolution resolves all the issues that plague our societies from the start - would their use abolish property rights thus relieve us from haves-havenots dilemma (are you a marxist by the way?) - there is no sign of it yet and I think the struggle will continue and will continue changing. At some point we will possibly stop killing and imprisoning each other but I doubt this will happen soon. I am also not sure if I like the way this may be achieved. We shall see. What I am relatively certain is this: no wealth and power redistribution which revolutions are (technological, industrial, information - all of them) goes without violence. Whether this violence will result in bloodshed is a different story - technology affects the violence industry too.

Following orders while being on losing side can and usually have bad consequences. when at the same time following orders while on the winning side is OK.
Predicting which side is going to win is difficult at times and people may have no choice either.
As for juice thief - there are trains where taking juice out of the train's outlet is OK - in continental EU it is. Sometimes there is no juice there for a passenger to have (the few Polish trains I used did not have it as a matter of principle, Germans usually have some, did not check Dutch and Swedish I used). I would assume putting a nice plague on it 'not for public use' has been done but then again I think in this day and age you could even turn off single socket from the train if you wanted to so having socket meant for maintenance (I assume that it was one) juiced as per specs while passengers are there and then getting angry was silly and mean. The guying being a fanboi was probably a big asshat so this was one of those situations where it had to escalate.
