I would think that given what we’ve done here in the US to the past forty years of workers, they’ve earned a decade off to live on UBI and heal from burnout and develop interests of any sort in anything at all again, before we could even begin to productively analyze their reactions to UBI. They’ve been traumatized and it will take time to heal and I certainly hope that we implement UBI and let them do so. We can afford it as a country and god knows they’ve done enough for us to have earned a break from work if they need time to heal.
Ah okay. I care mostly about Window Management shortcuts, and that Alt + opens the drop-down menus. I find most other shortcuts I use are application specific or what I thought were global conventions. KDE does have a section called "standard shortcuts" where you can set shortcuts to open up "About" dialogs and several dozen other common actions - but for all I know it's then up to applications to plug into that? I suppose not a lot of developers targeting KDE for the experience...

Will the merchants give me a 2+% discount and cover the BTC transaction fee if I pay in Bitcoin?
I had the same thought. Are you really legally entitled to simply changing your working hours like that? Here in Scandinavia you probably are, but probably not in the US.
> I have a feeling that traditional cc system are slower than the time user waits for confirmation.

Raising this in response to Bitcoin’s limited throughput is a nonsequitur, as this is latency, not throughout. Yes, the time between initiating and settling a credit card transaction is nontrivial, but that doesn't effect the number of transactions the system can process per second. If the credit card system didn't have the throughput to handle transactions at the rate they are initiated, there's be an ever-growing queue, and there isn't.
If you get more money from welfare than from work iguess you would be eligible for more support. I would be interested in a ranking where gouvernemnt subsedies (welfare, agriculture, infrastracture, defense etc.) are abused most.
My guess is it's not welfare.
Well the original post was someone who had access to reliable safe drinking water, so I'm not sure where that is coming from.

Also if you look historically over the past 100 years overall rates of poverty have declined everywhere.

If you look even further back in time the amount of rights that global citizens enjoy today is fundamentally a million times better than it was 100, 200, 300, 400 years ago.

Humans were ruled by kings and queens, where land was inherited, there was no upward social mobility, slavery of peoples was much more rampant than it is today.

Humanity was never equal, in it's history, but today if you ignore the top 1% we as a people actually enjoy fundamentally more equality than our predecessors who weren't part of the 1%.

Also, while the inequality exists between the 1% and the 99% today, today actually have upward social mobility to become part of the 1%, where 400 years ago that wasn't really all that possible.

I'm not saying the world is perfect, but if you look at it has actually gotten better overall.

I'm also pretty sure that the implied worth of Rockefeller and some of those old guard monopolists on a inflation adjusted and power adjusted basis was probably many times higher than even Elon Musk's net worth today.
Lack of education is the #1 issue here. America's education system emphasizes nationalism and obedience. It doesn't encourage critical thinking or alternative worldviews.

We're so deeply entrenched in the "American Dream" (Capitalism & Trickle Down Economics) that we're unable to challenge the current status quo.

Worse yet, this is driving us towards the defunding of public education, and the further worsening of our problems.

Our collective ignorance manifests itself in a number of ways, from wealthy mainstream journalists blaming economic problems on the poor to their audience of middle-class Americans, to mass-delusions regarding conspiracy theories intended to divide people.
Marginal rate is not effective rate. In fact, when Reagan cut the top marginal rate multiple times while also changing loopholes the effective tax rate on the top increased after some of those changes [1].

Conceptually, I agree completely. Your conclusions are right.

Factually, perhaps you never have seen a mask such as we are discussing here. They do cover the nose. Perhaps not perfectly, but to a very large extent.
Consider an Apple Watch app/extension?

It could be incredibly useful to not have to pick up a phone to use, and probably would not be that difficult to port over.

If you need help, testing or advice feel free to contact me at claire at theoic dot me. I’m a bit of a Watch nut and do iOS programming for a living.
There was some AI computer vision software that could process video from humans and deduce the heartrate with high accuracy.

A similar software like this Apple watch thingie could measure our heart rate through the web cams we have at our laptops.
> Yes the best way is to use voice control. You can tell the tesla to "set fan speed to 2" and it will do it. Voice commands are the safest imho.

...if you are from English-speaking country or you know English.

Does Tesla understand every language in the world?

Or: how would my father change settings in Tesla?
Would he need to learn one English phrase ("Tesla/Alexa/Siri/Whatever, open Google translate"), then speak in his native language, then somehow speak the translated text to Tesla's system?

Currently in his car, he does that by pressing a button. Done.
And the whole malleability thing
I think that algorithms/ML people will have something to offer here. This essentially changes triage into a hard optimization problem.

IANAD, but it's not just a problem of matching people in the current pool. You also have to plan for incoming patients. Having the parameters of the ventilator not perfectly match the patient likely affects the probability of survival in a smooth way (with in some bounds).

So now the problem becomes minimizing the total death by maximizing the average likelihood of survival. You have to take the patient ventilator parameters into account (tidal volume, lung-compliance, weaning, etc) , as well as information about the distribution of those likely to be sick at the same time (which will change over time based on behavior).
I'm guessing here but it many cases the interviewers(not only recruiters) are taught to act positively. Also if they are choosing between you and someone else they don't what to discourage you from applying.

Someone said that the company doesn't care about you in particular, but they do care about more people applying. It's just larger pool to choose from.
Is it a fair analogy to say that zero is to numbers as vowels are to alphabets?

My understanding is the consonants came first, vowels later, as (Western writing anyway) transitioned from pictograms to alphabets.
"(pretty sure it can never appear in the range)"

Wouldn't update do that? Making up further syntax...

Python is a great tool for this, and is even better when used with the pythonpy tool, which allows for convenient integration of python commands inside unix pipelines - https://github.com/Russell91/pythonpy
If the EFF thinks developers are unwise to agree to this contract, they should carefully, logically, and constantly explain to developers why that is. They should persuade developers. They should not treat the contract as if it were or should be illegal or a violation of "rights." Appeal to developers, don't petition against the contract.
FWIW, I find the comparison to getting struck by lighting to be somewhat facetious. Sure, goes to show just how unlikely it is to be killed in a terrorist attack, but I wager that the purpose of a terrorist attack is often more than just the immediate deaths.
I was just about to give up at 70th generation, when the walkers suddenly evolved from 1 to 4 steps in 5 generations.

Currently at generation 120 with 7 steps, looks like it is "evolving" in bursts, with long periods of nothing.

Well it is stuck at 9 steps at gen 400+.

Love digital text. The find command saves me so much time than flipping and skimming.

Books with a lot of charts and graphs, it's a hassle even in print. Figuring out the placement so relavent text and visuals can be displayed on a single page would be better, and it would be easier to experiment with the format digitally.
"The data suggests that Google may be less powerful than people thought, at a time when the search engine is seeking to widen its empire – and drawing fresh criticism almost every day as a result of its perceived growing dominance."

Analogies to empires and the military are a little silly in the business world. Businesses have very little legal power to force anything. The customers and consumers have all the power when they choose to buy or not to buy from a company.
>In particular, I thought of the case of searching arrays of strings. If you are doing repeated searches against the same array, you can easily build a table breaking the array down into subarrays all sharing the same first character. (I'm assuming ASCII there!) Using that can quickly eliminate 5 or so comparisons that would be required with a naive binary search.

It's both. Fraud applies to a wide range of things.

In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual...

The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g. in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain.

Ah, I'll bet you 10 dollars that we will!
Sorry, as implied to my comment on the first story about this posted to Hacker News, I'm siding with Facebook on this one.

Of course they tune their page so that search crawlers can best index the information, so does everyone else on the web.

However, they also provide an API, with clearly defined terms of use, which you may use to get information. Basically your complaint boils down to you don't want to use the methods they've set up for you to access their data, and you're complaining about it.

As for comments about fair, true spirit of the internet what have you... I don't think the true spirit of the internet has ever been everyone has to give everything away in every possible imaginable way. And, in the end, it is Facebook's data, they make that clear before you ever start adding data to their servers. So does just about everyone else who allows you to submit data to their servers.

This shouldn't be confused with how difficult it is to remove data and accounts from their system, which is a giant pain in the butt, or the fact that they've made drastic changes to the public nature of the data after keeping it private for so long. That's all just a giant mess.
> This would explain why autism seems to “cluster” in upper class homes, where the parents work nonstop.

This is an unexpected observation for me. Do you have any references you can point to? I would be interested in knowing more about this.
I understand what you're saying, but in terms of coming up with a decision in which the majority is happy, a majority decision is inherently always the most optimal. The parent post example is effectively an example of that.

I do concede that for general governance what I'm talking about obviously requires more nuance.

From: http://eisenbergeffect.bluespire.com/all-about-angular-2-0/

> So, it would seem that Google is heavily invested in the current version and will need to support it for a while. In a Q&A session at ngEurope Brad Green said that you can expect at least 1.5 - 2 years of support for Angular 1.3 after the RTM of Angular 2.0 becomes available

If I am working on a long term project choosing a technology that will be supported for 1.5-2 years, would make me feel uneasy.

But let's just pretend that the 1.x codebase will be so stable that it won't need support. What about the third party libraries that my project will depend on? Should I expect all of those to be maintained after Angular 2 is released?

For real projects these are deal breakers. Recommending Angular for any serious project that is expected to be used for years is irresponsible.
I am a long bitstamp customer and I have not received such email.
>Evolution means that out of all states that stem from the current one, the optimal one tends to endure, so the "best of all possible worlds" is indeed a pretty good way of phrasing it, if a little vague.

"Best of all possible worlds" suggests a global maximum to me. Evolution can get stuck in local maxima.

Amazing how many people forget this simple fact.
> there’s zero switching cost

Finding an app, installing it, entering your card details and then hailing are switching costs. When I travel, I sometimes try the local app. I usually just use Uber. (In America I default to Lyft, in New York Revel.)

Keep in mind that Uber is profitable in some markets, e.g. New York.
I think most Danes are aware of our history here. Trailblazing porn because we as a country (and more broadly Scandinavia) were interested in the outer limits of free expression has almost nothing to do with the problems I've highlighted and even less to do with the number of people entering the industry.

Two eras portraying pornography is about as much as you can say is similar between then and now.

For more on the kinds of films Denmark was producing, have a read of this article [1] by Jack Stevenson who used to hold little events of porno history at a local art theater here in Copenhagen.

"This is not the Holocaust." yet.
"This is not the end of the world." yet.
I'm sure many Germans and Italians (or any society on the brink of autocratic rule) felt as you do now. But the end result is strikingly similar. Small erosion of liberties leads to escalation until it becomes the status quo of not having those liberties in the first place. Funny how this world works, labor is restricted yet capital can flow freely. Smith and Ricardo must be turning in their graves.
It's, like, really really bad at chess.

Facebook have been contacting me for years on linkedin and email asking me to interview. This is exactly why I have never responded.
Functionally, the gift card is clean as long as it continues to be valid. And most of them do. The user of the gift card isn't the purchaser, so they can use it without (much) fear.

People can also abuse return policies. Most places will give you a gift card if you return unused merchandise without a receipt. So people will shoplift small, high-value items from one store and return them to another. Get a gift card, and then sell the gift card. The cash isn't traceable, and the broker gets a tidy profit.
PPP should not have this kind of effect over a renewable globalized asset like data.
From the article:

"In this revelatory book, Begley shows the dark side of this showman. He disliked competitors, possessed an outsized ego, could not abide criticism and was prone to extreme exaggeration. He was also an ardent self-promoter. "

As far as dark sides of historical figures go, that doesn't sound so bad. I really expected way worse. He actually sounds like many public figures today, not sure I'd consider those things much of a dark side now.
Which is exactly the reason why... VSCode is winning the editors war.

The main difference is that it chose javascript instead of lisp as its universal language, which, in the current world, is a much better choice for adoption.

Also, saying app can share data easily because the format is text buffer is either a tautology or a non-sequitur: not having a defined format can't be broken, sure, but it also cannot be reliably used. ask anyone who had to maintain bash/awk/perl labyrinthine assemblies...
The relative size but also the structure and the process of fertilization. The sperm enters the egg, not the other way around. Mitochondria come from the egg, yes.

Also note that sperm vary in shape. Mammalian sperm have the familiar tadpole shape with a flagellum for swimming. Other species, such as nematodes, have ameboid sperm which move along surfaces rather than swimming freely.
I'm sick of this meme. The purpose of any institution - economic, political, social - is to serve some function and if we can modify it to better serve whatever function we desire, we should be able to do so without disingenuous aholes in comment threads bitching through their 1-dimensional ploy to shut down all conversation that doesn't include their pet solution of "burn down everything so we can implement the system I want"

How about this: Improving what is there IS an alternative, and one that must be seriously considered.

Thanks for explaining. Doing everything top to bottom myself, my mind boggles at an organization where there are multiple "view developers." Nice to have that kind of resources!

Did you try Auto Layout with a flattened view hierarchy? Deeply nested view hierarchies are not really the best way to go if there are performance issues. You can get huge speedups by flattening things. I have a feeling this could even work within the ComponentKit way of doing things.
If I have to walk tens of meters to meet in a private space with anyone I want to talk to, then 1) the supposed serendipitous transfer of knowledge does not happen, and 2) we could just as easily have had this encounter in my or their private office space.

What’s the purpose of this?

If you believe that at the moment of being paid (in Bitcoin) there’s no arbitrage to be had, then you might as well just take your paycheck and immediately buy Bitcoin.

If you expect them to pay you a fixed salary in Bitcoin given its volatility that’s pretty ridiculous an ask - I’d laugh too.
> That sounds so weird to me... What do you mean cars don't have seat belts?!

I can confirm the OP's experience albeit in a different country (Mexico). In some regions, I haven't been in a single street taxi with working seat belts. Indeed, I've been in some private cars without them as well, or with more physical space for passengers than there were seat belts available.

Uber vehicles, though, have always provided those safety features. Some drivers work as both street taxi and Uber drivers (as they frequently cross into or live in regions without Uber but drive people to places that have it), so that quality assurance can trickle down in some cases. It honestly goes beyond seat belts though; a Uber car is more likely to have AC, electric windows, etc. than your average taxi, even in ridiculously hot parts of the country.
Photoshop has fundamentally different editing paradigms (e.g. layer styles, adjustment layers) that make it incomparable to GIMP.
