After reading just the first paragraph the tv show “Person of interest” immediately came to my mind

So hypothetically, if ram was as cheap and easy to add as storage, swap would not make sense?

Assuming that OP is correct in everything, it isn't shown anywhere that swap must reside in persistent storage. It could be stored in RAM, couldn't it? I mean you always have a fixed max amount of swap, so if it fits in memory , then why not put it in memory? But then why bother with swap?

You reap what you saw

Couldn't someone else willing to give those 70h/week take your place?

Oh, so if, hypothetically, someone did have to be fired to be replaced by a non-white-male, would you be against it?

"he" because the article says "all-white-male"

While we are at it, just off the top of my head, lets make it required to include at least one bald person, at least one person with blood type AB, and at least one person with freckles. We shouldnt descriminate against them should we?

The problem is that someone must be fired because he is a white male

Man, I literally fell on the floor laughing :)

> even here on HN people might think you're serious!

Ha! Might want to explicitly indicate sarcasm; even here on HN people might think you're serious!

lol

>Moreover, as the self-appointed facilitators of the new self-government of the online global population,32 currently there is little that would prevent the leading social media platforms from using and canalizing this civic power for the goals they see fit – much like a government with the difference that governments are subject to democratic oversight..

2 things on the above: First point, self-appointed does not matter. It is just a declaration. What matters is that people/users themselves turned this declaration into a fact. So, second point, platforms are subject to democratic oversight: Like you control your vote, you control your keyboard or mouse that clicks the sign-up button or accepts the TOS, you control the mouth and the fingers that propagate the information, and the brain that consumes it.

I really dislike it when people , by their own actions, become dependent on a service someone else offers in such a degree that they feel they are now entitled to the service and that it is now a public good. They strive to establish and cement this dependence on their own terms, assigning now the responsibility of maintaining it to the offerer (again on their own terms). That's the relationship between a spoiled child and its parents, not between a man and the society.

Sorry for my bad English. Not my mother tongue.
