In order to "check out a branch" in jj, you would have had to run `jj new` already. So your edits won't be "added ... to the top commit of that branch", but in a new commit (revision) when you checked out the branch. Then you can use `jj split` to keep whatever changes are important and discard the debug print statements.

> any productivity improvements within that time become surplus value captured by capital.

Not quite right. Total Value remains the same before and after increase in productivity, assuming the labor force remains constant. But more use-value is created in the same period of time.

At the beginning, this is good for the employer, because the new socially necessary labor time has not been internalized, so the output can be sold for a price corresponding to its old Value. Maybe a bit less, to undercut competitors.

Eventually though, as competition adopts the new technique, everyone attempts to undercut each other’s prices, adjusting until prices correspond to the new Value.

It seems to work correctly if you include the last two lines in the first commit.

So renters who smoke can just go pound sand?

Um, yes? Always has been?

> Scholars tended to associate it with the theories of economists working with the Mont Pelerin Society, including Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, and James M. Buchanan, along with politicians and policy-makers such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Alan Greenspan.

Why do you expect China’s deflation to be contagious and spread to the West? Or is there some underlying cause that both share, and it’s just that China is showing the symptoms first?

Kinetic? Which targets do you have in mind that wouldn't start an escalatory spiral between two nuclear-armed nations? _Maybe_ some of the resource extraction infrastructure the PRC has set up in foreign nations.

You also have to consider the asymmetric nature of this information. It's quite plausible that the US has its "cyber-fangs" embedded in key parts of PRC infrastructure, but how forthcoming do you think the PRC would be about that?

I only found out about jujutsu yesterday, but from what I have gleaned, they aren't planning to remove Git compatibility. It's more that they want their own storage backend that can scale enough to handle Google's monorepo.

Seems like an overreaction. Which specific rule did revscat violate? "Don't be snarky?" "Eschew flamebait?" Because it seems to me that all they did was thoughtfully state an opinion that you had an emotional reaction towards.

Most people would probably say "too much." But since my cost basis is effectively $0, and I've already scaled out my position over the years during past bull runs, I'm not itching to sell. At this point it's "FU money or bust."

> For the transformation of money into capital, therefore, the owner of money must find the free worker available on the commodity-market; and this worker must be free in the double sense that as a free individual he can dispose of his labour-power as his own commodity, and that, on the other hand, he has no other commodity for sale, i.e. he is rid of them, he is free of all the objects needed for the realization of his labour power.

> Why this free worker confronts him in the sphere of circulation is a question which does not interest the owner of money, for he finds the labour-market in existence as a particular branch of the commodity-market. And for the present it interests us just as little. We confine ourselves to the fact theoretically, as he does practically. One thing, however, is clear: nature does not produce on the one hand owners of money or commodities, and on the other hand men possessing nothing but their own labour-power. This relation has no basis in natural history, nor does it have a social basis common to all periods of human history, It is clearly the result of a past historical development, the product of many economic revolutions, of the extinction of a whole series of older formations of social production.
