LVT isn't sufficient to fund UBI, it's necessary to make sure UBI doesn't have additional distortionary effects. Property taxes are really not a good comparison for LVT, since they tax property improvements too much and the land itself too little. Calibration is important.

Because I haven't figured out the best perfect solution that solves all the problems without any trade offs. I'm waiting for the perfect design to occur to me. I'm hoping it might occur to me while working on something else, reading blogs, watching youtube, in the shower, or while I'm sleeping. Or, I'm waiting for inspiration of any kind. Or, I'm waiting for an idea that intrigues me enough, or that I might learn something from, that I think is worth attempting.
Linode has 5 data centers. I've maintained a node in each of them the past six months with the following results:

Dallas: 99.959%
Newark: 99.971%
London: 99.986%
Fremont: 99.992%
Atlanta: 100%

I've heard from others here that Atlanta has been a very reliable LN data center for them as well.
Bribing outside of the system (i.e. in real life) could be a tremendous coordination and logistical challenge, especially given the amounts needed to make these attacks profitable. Smart contracts can make all of that trivially easy.

It’s like... the people most interested in trustless collaboration are people who are untrustworthy. A trustless settlement layer seems fine, but any real human application is going to have an element of trust and doesn’t belong alongside settlement.
> Locally though, degree's don't matter because there aren't enough good programmers

Aren't programming salaries much lower in the UK than the US? If there's a shortage, why don't companies start paying more?
Definately. Tradesmen are often looked down upon as not only being inferior, but less intelligent and cruder, despite the fact that their work may be very skills based.

People think cleaning is menial work, that gardening is what you do when you're too dumb for college, and that secretaries are braindead.

Sometimes, yeah, it's true, but who knows what is locked up in those personalities and minds?
If you have a PIN set for the screenlock you can often need to control orientation from the locked state.

Orientation lock is incredibly useful in two key areas for iPad: people lounging at home, and in business. I use the lock all the time in both settings -- especially when I'm using the iPad to demo and want to be able to pass it around the room.

Hiding the lock away in an area where many, many people will never find it and it's far slower to access is a hugely retrograde step, and the only thing in its defence is that it's consistent with the iPhone. Which is no defence at all: not only are the buttons different (vertical lock vs horizontal), the two devices are different, too.

I feel so strongly about this I'm staying on 3.2. I haven't felt the need to multitask on iPad yet -- I have an iPhone anyway :)
There are only finite natural resources if you're talking about a fixed number of atoms of each variety being available on the earth, but we don't have finite resources. We are creating new things all the time that lessen our need to consume natural resources. And if we stopped subsidizing consumption, we'd see even more such creativity.

Any natural resource that gets scarcer even as demand for it increases naturally gets more expensive. This gives people incentives to avoid its use, either by being more efficient or substituting alternatives.

This has even worked for land itself. As land gets more expensive as more people wish to live in an urban area, buildings add stories, using the same land over and over again.
I don't think a developer working at Mozilla would be so careless that they would use "invulnerable" to describe their security. Seems like it was an interpretation by the tgdaily author.

I'd gladly reverse my view on Wired in that case; I won't reverse my view on Greenwald's article; the information he used to back his argument doesn't make sense. If the conclusion ends up being correct, the argument still will have been bogus.
Good news. You can now preview the solutions!

Only one wrinkle: you have to submit your own challenge to see the solutions.

Intel wrote a whitepaper[1] on this very subject. One of the more amusingly counterintuitive findings is that you want each radio to cover not a whole lot of area. No matter how fast the backhaul is, the spectrum can only handle a couple dozen clients, which fills up fast when you've got tens of thousands of attendees.

Does the problem with posting these hashes have anything to do with "cryptographic weaknesses in MD5", or does Sophos' security expert simply have no idea what he's commenting to the trade press about?
I strongly disagree. C++'s particularly clumsy static typing introduces a LOT of conceptual baggage. Smalltalk, Scheme, or Self would probably be better, depending on whether you consider prototype-based OO to be a novelty or just the bare essentials.

One of them is that the company just got acquired by twitter.

If US knows already (before the war) that Afghanistan is terribly rich with minerals, so that explains why they did the war and settled down.

But how can we forget the reason US told us why they invading Afghanistan? Fighting Terrorism (under the name of AlQaida).

The image is clear now.

Edit: Assuming US knows that before war.

This is how you know it's just as much investor marketing as it is to get early adopters excited; they want their overseas investors to know that they're not just sitting on their laurels this quarter.

I didn't mean to suggest that everything is fine with MobileCoin! Quite the contrary, it appears to be a complete shitshow. But in ways that are different from what the featured article claimed.

I'm very much opposed to Stephen Diehl's default approach of "everything to do with cryptocurrency is a scam, because I say so". Many things (probably including MobileCoin) are scams, but proper sources are still needed, and it's good to keep factual criticism separate from vague allusions to unnamed exchanges in some Caribbean country or another.

Strangely, fast.com still reports faster connection speeds than my broadband is supposed to offer. No, my broadband is not faster than what I'm paying for, I can see that when monitoring actual transfers(including the transfers when doing the tests). They do offer about %95 of the promised speed, not %110 that fast.com or speedtest.net measures.
I wonder if that passed the 14th amendment’s equal protection clause. Curious how Congress’ exception is written. Maybe if they tied it to anything on the scheduled substances list then it would pass the 14th amendment.

Ah yes, they wrote it that way. Ok.
Not saving comes natural to most people. Learning to save is the hard part. Most children don't ever make enough money that saving would make financial sense. The reality is, teaching kids to save their money is more a lesson in delayed gratification than it is a financial lesson.
Thanks, that what it feels like to me. I’ve survived over the last few years by leaning into the hatred for what she’s done to our family. Now that seems to have subsided and I’m left with the pain of knowing we will never be a family again. it feels like it will go on forever and I find my mind coming up with fanciful stories to subdue the pain but it doesn’t work anymore. The truth hurts so much.

Interesting, I had no idea. I stand corrected on that detail. But yeah, my comment was about the sense of hype I remember about certain technologies as they rose to popularity. I remember there was almost this funny sense that XML would solve everything. And it was connected to this broader sense at the time (owing to the dot com bubble) that technology would solve everything. Really interesting to look back on all that through the lens of time.
Because software development is more art than science in a number of ways, and because it's not equal to much of anything else.

I emailed Chomsky a month back about Thoughts and Language. I hope he doesn't mind that I'm sharing it.
My email,

I was fascinated by your talk at British Academy. I'm no linguist. Please Ignore my ignorance.

If the formal language is not designed for communication but for our thoughts, Is it not the case that there are two different mechanisms of perception? One to understand internal language (if I can call it a language) and external language we use socially? It is bewildering. As I type this email, I'm thinking of the words that needs to be followed. Because of my ability for pattern recognition or for the conceptual understanding of rules of the external language. I'm not sure if my ability is a natural phenomenon or a self trained one(as far as English is concerned). English is not my native language. It is acquired by study. Recently, My thoughts have been primarily in English. I could switch between English and my native language for thoughts.

Is language the only way to think? Is it crazy to think that our brain does not use language to think at all? Can thoughts/perception , like language, have two different mechanism. Understanding external logic and internal logic? The internal system might be visual, physical etc. It seems to lead to a structure problem. Does internal thoughts have far more complex structure? If dreams are thoughts, It is extremely complex and might be a evidence that there are different systems. I strongly think it is because we have different involuntary mechanisms to perceive like sense of smell etc.

Chomsky's reply,

Very little is understood about the interesting questions you’re raising. To study them we’d have to have a way of accessing thinking by some means that does not involve conscious use of language – which is probably a superficial reflection of something happening within. But so far there are no good ways.

...I honestly can't tell if you are serious. Your argument is basically that everything is real, because sound coming from the speakers is no less real than the sound coming from an actual violin. Should I have used a term "artificial" then? Just like artificial diamonds are not the same as real diamonds, artificial sounds produced by a speaker are not the same as sounds made by a real violin. Like someone else said - the difference is the same as there is between attending a concert and sitting in your room listening to a CD. You could even argue that with a sufficiently advanced audio system, the aural experience is exactly the same, so technically they are the same. And that would be true, if humans were robots - but we experience a whole set of irrational emotions,and that's why a lot of people prefer being at a concert to listening to a recording, having real diamonds instead of mass-produced ones, or using actual sugar instead of sweeteners - even if the sensory experience produced is no "more or less "real" for any commonly accepted definition of "real". And that's why I would personally prefer having an actual combustion of fuel to be producing sounds in my car, instead of the speaker system , thank you.
Is is the code, formatting, etc, that we're supposed to be looking at? Or the data itself?

The data catches my eye because there seems to be quite a lot of bad data. Recipes with cooking time of 0, when it's clear that's not true. Typos like "Spahetti Carbonara". "Ham Sandwich" tagged as "Fruit".

If we're supposed to ignore all that and just evaluate the CMS bit, it looks fine. But it doesn't seem very specific to cooking. Just tag organized text.
There are a couple of options for that: spousal visas and permanent residence would be unrestricted.

I'm on an engineering status of residence (what Americans would call a visa).

I am sorry to hear that you bear resentment agains coding, and I wish you all the luck in business analyst (or any other actually) role! The thing is... people do lots of stuff to get by. I'm sure you will find something that you will enjoy in.

For me it didn't go that far, and I managed to bounce back to the point where I actively seek jobs that will keep me in development (coding!) instead of steering me towards just management. What helped me was to get some vacation time, then switch the jobs. But most importantly, I started carefully looking for signs of burnout ("Do I enjoy waking up in the morning? Do I look forward to going to work? Am I getting there later and later?"). When you notice the problem in time, it is much easier finding the cause and dealing with it, even if it means changing the job.

Also, having a side project where I can get really creative helps. :)
The NLRB also supports neya's point; companies can prohibit union organizing activites that interfere with work.

> Working time is for work, so your employer may maintain and enforce non-discriminatory rules limiting solicitation and distribution, except that your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about or soliciting for a union during non-work time, such as before or after work or during break times; or from distributing union literature during non-work time, in non-work areas, such as parking lots or break rooms. Also, restrictions on your efforts to communicate with co-workers cannot be discriminatory. For example, your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about the union during working time if it permits you to talk about other non-work-related matters during working time.

How can one even be able and allowed to do this? It smacks of gross incompetence on Google's part.
And a proper IDE and a faster compiler.

Xcode is dreadful with its strange fetish for recompilation even if there were no changes and the compiler is slower with every iteration. The solution put forward for this always seems to be "buy newer hardware".
The article also says they shared screenshots of their calendars externally.
As somebody who lives in the burbs (in Texas, not SV), I live here because I actively prefer a suburban lifestyle, and the presence of the kind of developments you want would make me move out to the exurbs.

I don't want to live in a "real city". I chose to live in the suburbs because I prefer suburbs.
I think it looks perfectly fine. I prefer simple 'lean' designs anyways tho.
Is that really a feasible long term solution though? I require port forwarding and also work from home so require my service not get blocked due to some spammer on my block.

> You could argue that I'm using the wrong tool for the job.

Without comparing Excel vs LibreOffice vs etc, I've found the category of spreadsheet software to be immensely helpful for analyzing, aggregating, visualizing and reducing small datasets.

You do have to end up falling back to python scripts using pandas or whatever if you need to run jobs that need to take data from one DB and put it into another DB or something like that.

But if my output is basically a reduced set of tables, series or graphs for presentation, spreadsheets are an immensely useful tool.

What I've specifically done is have one sheet of the spreadsheet represent the "raw, unreduced data", and write up formulae for aggregation in other sheets, based on the raw data and intermediate aggregations. Starts becoming less ideal when you have 10 or more sheets, but for simple cases, it's very much underrated by us engineering folks.
Can you scale that to 10x the spend?

All of the studies I'm aware of that ask people to choose between different price points based on privacy end up showing minimal valuing of privacy.
Jobs are like women, if you try too hard - they will loose interest and quickly especially if they already have what they wanted.

Playing hard to get just works - like it or not.

It also seems to me you may have a talent at recognizing talent - you managed to push your friend into that company and you've done that unknowingly - think what you can do if you actually put your mind into find great people and finding a job for them - or even better if they'll work for you even as a freelancer - and you resell their services to various companies as an consultant or contractor.
I got to thinking, how would America's universities compare? It's an interesting thought: The best universities should have the most advanced reading level.

I've published my findings, a complete ranking, and source code: http://log.largevoid.com/2010/12/ranking-colleges-by-reading...
We'd love for you to start the section. :)
Because studios are very capital-intensive. You've got to front hundreds of millions of dollars for a year or two before the movie hits theaters. Not to mention that it's like VC - you've got to invest in 5 movies because 2 of them will flop, 2 will be modest successes, and 1 of them will hit it big and nobody knows which ahead of time. So you're talking about getting your hands on like a billion dollars in startup cash for a studio.
That is a matter of taste isn't it? I find her music horrible.
Just because they won't be paying you money doesn't mean it's cost free or them. Taking on a person into any organization, but especially a small startup, has many associated costs, from the time spent just getting to know you, to teaching you stuff (if you're learning) to the opportunity cost of you taking up some other potential person's slot.
RE: publish the best paper in the best conference

Usually, this is very hard to achieve. Not only is it hard to find the best conference in your field, getting the best paper award (nb. that there are conferences that don't have a one!) has (at times) something to do with sense of fashion and/or the valuation of your achievements by the programme committe. (I recently stumbled upon an article [unfortunately I cannot remember when and where, 20min of Googling did not help either] that detailed how Albert Einstein did not believe in one of his own equations, which was in the larger context that is difficult for scientists to properly judge their own contributions -- assuming this is correct, having the intention of writing "best paper award" papers seems very difficult...)
Oh don't get me wrong. I dislike it too.

But it's possible to appreciate the hacker aspect and skill. It is easy to dismiss her music as silly, unoriginal or poor because we don't like it, but that can be unfair :)

Evolution does not typically work at those timescales (100-200 generations) unless there is extreme pressure—and even if it did, your argument still would not apply unless you believe that success in moneylending and other professions were strongly influenced by genetics. There is no evidence for that position and there is only limited evidence that IQ and other measures of general intelligence are genetic (socioeconomic background tend to be much better indicators of this).

I think the more likely explanation is cultural. Yes, Jews were forced into certain professions, but they have also historically emphasized (religious) education. As Jews in the Western world became more assimilated, the emphasis on religion decreased, but the emphasis on education did not. This familial emphasis on education is still felt today and has manifested itself as a propensity for Jews to enter highly skilled professions, such as law and medicine.
