Most of that cost was for preserving driving lanes while adding bike lanes. It could just as well be called the cost of car lanes.
That culture only exists today because if you ever live in poverty you develop a mindset of a vulture. You need to seize opportunity and give nothing to maximize your position because you are so far behind.

It is socially toxic, and only exists because you can fall through the bottom of society and become forgotten and discarded. It is treading water just to survive. It makes people hostile, selfish, and bitter. Plenty of studies show how poverty will change your brain chemistry for the worse.

Of course the first generation of UBI would be a trying time. It is correcting so many social wrongs at once it upsets your worldview completely. But I cannot imagine anyone beyond the first batch ever having anything but significantly increased happiness, social cohesion, voluntarism, and enterpenurism, because once you can (hate to say it) cull the damaged goods, you have a society where everyone can take risks but always keep a roof over their heads and food in their bellies, and be as generous as they want while always having a bed to sleep on. That is such a huge psychological advantage for society.

Which is kind of why I find UBI such a no brainer nowadays. You can approach it from so many angles - cultural, microeconomic, macroeconomic, social, psychological, and every one of them in and of itself has so many benefits it seems insane not to implement it at almost any cost just for those benefits alone. But they are not alone, it helps in almost every problem center of the modern world.
Your link has a lot of good points (and I say this as someone who donated a substantial amount of money to Wikipedia this year). However, the parent's article was just of generally low quality with poor arguments.
So Google is still getting all your email, you're just never logging in to Gmail UI... Don't see the point.
Actually, I live in the UK. Here the police are mostly not armed, and still manage to prevent other people from having guns. But yes, in principle I'm perfectly happy with the setup where one specialised group holds the power of military force
Big tech prefers overpaying programmers to stay in their job than be their potential competitors in the future.
My argument is that all human interactions should be consensual. Slavery is clearly and obviously out of the questions. Discrimination is the act of making choices, you do it every time you order something to eat. I do belive people should be able to make whatever choices in personal and professional association they please, without anyone trying to peek into their heads and guess at their intentions.

I strongly beleive in caring for the poor and the sick. That is one of the oldest definitions of the virtue of charity. I am wholly against imposing my own personal virtues on other people though. Why are you so comfortable doing so?
I used elvish for as my daily shell for a while, and loved a lot about it! Eventually made the switch to fish, which is also wonderful.. can't remember exactly why I stopped using elvish. Ultimately ended up moving to zsh because posix compliance is convenient.
I don't think the c standard specifies this behavior. malloc must return either a pointer where you can store an object, or null. I think platform details about when accesses to that pointer might fail are outside the scope of the language / stdlib standard.

Are failures when accessing the allocated pointer due to overcommit substantially different than failures due to ECC errors or other hardware failure, with regard to what is specified in the c standard?

(FWIW I don't particularly like overcommit-by-default either)
The excellent book on advanced calculus by Edwin Bidwell Wilson also discusses this method.
I did the same but that's not really moving away from google. They still know what emails you receive, what you buy, who you write with, what websites you use. I slowly, one by one, move each website that I use whenever I notice it goes to my old email or I login using my old email.
Hi paraschopra,

There are many tools, depending on what you are doing (io, network, memory, cpu). In my case, the problems are with the tools written by us for our studio, so we just use our own profilers that the tools are compiled with (check DEJA, DressCode).

It's only for code where we don't have source code, or we don't have time to put profiling probes then we use external tools - for example VerySleepy for sampling, or some of the SysInternals tools.

But sometimes the answer is just few clicks of google, or serverfault.com / userfault.com, etc.
Why does a business need to be sellable to be valuable? And why aren't photo studios valuable? Our company uses photo studios to photograph our products - they're definitely valuable to us and I see more competition in the space as a good thing (good photos are expensive!).
A photo studio is a small business. Many are successful. Why wouldn't such a business count as a viable startup/business?
Not to AbstractBill, I presume?
(Back from my final now (it went well)).
Off-topic, but it seems you guys fly a lot. Any solids topics on how to get over fear off flying? I simply cannot get over that, though I flew a lot in past.

The idea that multitasking is bad for you is not new.
I'm sure it depends on the student; I sure remember my physics major girlfriend struggling with Lagrangian mechanics in her advanced classical mechanics course. 3 decades after doing basic classic mechanics I can see the utility of Hamiltonian mechanics but I'm not at all sure I'd want to tackle it (chemistry major here ... I wonder where we fit in the hierarchy).
One nice thing about linear interpolation is that the same algorithm works for 2D grids, 3D grids, and hex grids. For 3D, the diagonal_distance, point_lerp, and point_round functions can look at at z in addition to x and y. For hex grids, you need hex grid distances and hex grid rounding (http://www.redblobgames.com/grids/hexagons/#line-drawing).
Thank you for posting that. It was never a mystery why the project started with the Plan 9 C compiler (if you're Ken Thompson, of course you'll use Ken Thompson's compiler) but the detail on the evolution of the thing is interesting.

It is a bit embarrassing that our self-moderation here did not cause your comment to rise a little higher toward the top.
The deeper point being, I think, that money in a sense is no more "real" than points on a screen.
I trust my money in E*Trade, Fidelity, etc. far more than I trust it in any BitCoin wallet service.
I see Minecraft modding as the gateway drug for my son, into coding. He loves Minecraft on his tablet, and with BlockLauncher we can code mods in JavaScript for his Android tablet.

The modding community seems a little impenetrable however, and trying to find any documentation for the Blocklauncher API has been a stumbling block. We'll persevere however, and make sure all the code we write is on GitHub and well commented.
Great gallery.

Just about to think HTML5 is awesome, then I did a right click

On the low, algorithmic level that's often true, but a lot of the difficulty imo is at higher levels of the stack. We're very good at writing SAT-solvers, for example, but directly writing problems as SAT is not a particularly good knowledge representation, especially if you want to build systems that are flexible and can interact with humans.

So a lot of the interesting work (imo) is on non-graph knowledge representations, like answer-set programming, situation calculus, etc. They often ground out in some variety of graph search to do the inference, but that's just the solver algorithm, not where the research that interests me is at. It's like saying that graph search grounds out in x86 asm twiddling bits in a computer, so all AI is just bits in a computer, which is also true but misses the point.

Though it does remind me that there was a comment from someone in the 60s or 70s amounting to, "all AI boils down to heuristic search".
I'm wondering if I can request / demand that an opposite-sex TSA agent perform the pat-down.
I recommend submitting comments about this via the ``Contact us'' page on whitehouse.gov

I also think we should be encouraging the White House to put Bruce Schneier in charge of the TSA.
There are some mistruths in the article - it states "Big Companies Don’t Have Credit Cards
Purchasing anything in a large organization requires a rigorous justification process that generally culminates in a purchase order (PO). They do not allow their employees to use their credit cards to buy technology off of the Internet. In fact, at many companies, doing so and attempting to expense it after the fact is a fire-able offense." Which is not true at all. The US Government uses credit cards, many employees have one and I know for sure that the US Border Patrol vehicles have a credit card assigned to each vehicle (with a no approval needed limit of $2500 per purchase). My wife works for a large university and also has a department issued credit card.

Also I object to "If you work in a startup, you might wonder why large organizations don’t just trust their people to make smart purchasing decisions. If an employee needs a new technology, why wouldn’t the company just let him do the right thing? There are many reasons:" In the case of my wife's most recent laptop she did have some restrictions - it had to come from the University computer store which limited her choice to Apple, Dell, Lenovo or HP. Some limit. Oh, and it had to be under $2000.

He also states "Some of the systems are outdated, complex, and downright arcane. Nonetheless, once deployed, enterprises develop great affection for the technology that runs their companies. They may complain about it, but like an old woman speaking of her spouse, the underlying love is far stronger than the criticism. And big companies expect you to love their old products too – by integrating with them." I believe that this is also incorrect. I don't think businesses love their old systems, just that they are stuck with them. The business needs to function everyday, it can't just try something new, it needs to keep going. So old systems become like a heroin addiction for the company. They would love to get off the 30 year old stuff, but they can't. So they adapt (or get you to adapt) and keep plugging along with the old setup.
I was strangely thrilled to see that you can place blocks way outside the floor grid.

What do you think are the odds that he'll actually get into legal trouble over this? Calibrate your model of reality!
> In comparison, 750k is a metric ton of cash, and should be enough to support a founding team for several years.

Until you start hiring. Then you can burn through that kind of money surprisingly fast. Talent is (rightly!) expensive. So unless your co-founders and you have all the skills you need to see your product out the door you could very well need multiple 100 Ks to get going. If you're doing anything hardware related or that needs certification or a hundred other things that you could spend your money on then you might find this is not as much as it seemed at first.

Not all start-ups are making simple web apps or mobile apps.

Doing a seed round for $300K is not much easier than $750K and will give you only half the return on your time invested.

At least at 750K you'll still be looking at a relatively abbreviated process rather than a full blown DD (which would burn up too large a chunk of the investment to make sense).
You seem to be assuming that "contribution to society" should be the only factor when portioning out health care, and that there should be only one "best" proxy to measure such a factor. Why?
I do not think your taste is critical if you enjoy Game of Thrones prose. Gene Wolfe's is far above. GoT is average fantasy prose and nowhere near literary fiction quality.
I was just thinking yesterday, it would be cool if I could select a block of code and then pull a slider and walk back and forth just that one block of code while leaving everything else untouched. Anyway, we're way off on a tangent.
Haaa he was talking about the loop macro. I misinterpreted (sic) as Common Loops, thinking the 'englishy' part was referring to the subject - verb nature of OOP.
Yeah, I'm not aerospace engineer, but couldn't you just put the roof like 10 cm above the rotors so it has enough air flow?
Question here.
Assuming I am developing something in pure Python, is there any advantage to using Vagrant if I already have a Virtualenv setup? They are the same principle of isolated environments, but implemented at different levels.

I had a problem like this at work just before Xmas break. A script wa returning "command not found" for 'chmod' because of an invisible Unicode character. The guy who asked my help refused to believe it, untill I showed him a hex dump of the script, he got convinced when he saw 2 byted between the command and parameters.
> we understand on some level the work that goes into good science

Meanwhile people who are informed on the state of actual science say "50% of published research is false."

Is that easy to do? I thought WhatsApp didn’t allow api access.
I shouldn't have to explain, but if Twitter is drained of conservative thought then it also becomes a political echo chamber of the left.
Trump complained more about Russia than anyone else ever did.

How many people got arrested as part of that bogus investigation again?

IIRC Trump also fired multiple people to get the investigation to end. Literally played the Nixon playbook and it was all fake... Sure.
Sounds great! Let me know when you’ve built it so I can try it out :)
Sounds like a great place to be. I would say you should pick someone who you admire most in the group and try to emulate their behavior.
I've considered emitting LLVM, or using C as a high-level assembly language, but not directly to native code. I've been wanting to write some simple arcade-like games using spaik, and it'd be a shame to either restrict it to a single architecture or needing separate implementations. (that, and being able to benefit from the 100s of lifetimes spent optimizing LLVM and gcc code generation.)

Spaik also doesn't have an AST-level interpreter for evaluating macros, it compiles and runs the bytecode on-the-fly for macro-expansions declared and used in the same compilation unit. And I figured it'd be even more of a hassle with native code.
> Instead of being obsolete, I'm a SPOF higher up the problem complexity.

This seems somewhat inevitable for "high performers". The only way round it I'm aware of is to hitch your wagon to an SPOF further up the chain.
I'm also an European, and I disagree strongly. Not everybody in Europe is a socialist.

The only thing that guarantees fair treatment is competition (so that for example a worker can quit and work somewhere else). Government rules just breed corruption and inefficiency that harms everybody.
Sure, I understand. But that's several orders of magnitude less useful than what one gets in eg the chrome devtools console from a CLJS webapp.

I found this to be a major timesink when debugging things, and never came up with a good bulletproof solution to automate this traversal. It was especially painful with random breakages due to NPM's automatic dependency/transitive dependency upgrades due to version ranges (ie, things that don't just fix themselves by checking out a previous known good version).

Hossenfelder has a lot of... unique takes in the physics world, I don't think she should be used as a general barometer of the field.
Press "Ctrl+F" and type Rust.
I work at Mozilla (I believe ~70% remote workers) and certainly see people do things like this all the time, though often on a smaller scale. For example, if they have a conference or meeting in Europe or Asia, they might extend the trip to visit other locations and work from either hotels, coworking spaces, coffee shops, trains, or "camping" in our other offices.

I certainly encourage it, for people who both want to do it and whose lifestyle supports it! Caveat international work and visa laws, where prohibited, of course :-)
Not sure shoemaker is a good example. Wouldn't that today be Nike, Adidas, huge corporations and not individuals?

An individual shoemaker today is probably in the luxury business.
Agree, and to add some context, a lot of people have parents who’s mortgage was all but eaten up by 15% inflation in the 80s.

If you are at an in network provider, the provider is required to accept the insurance negotiated rate and not pursue the patient. If your insurance denies the bill, the provider can't pursue the patient.

In many states surprise billing and balance billing laws prevent out of network providers from billing you for the balance, in excess of what medicare or your insurance pays.
I learnt Prolog in the late 80s at Uni, when even then, it was a pretty odd thing to be interested in.

It's nice that the community has kept going with it as an intellectual idea. I'm wondering what contributions it has made to the wider programming community. I guess things like the warren engine may have helped inform efficient methods of interpreting other languages, or the parallel prolog investigations probably again helped other languages.

It's pretty clear to me that functional languages from the time (e.g. Miranda) which live on it Haskel have had a massive impact on modern programming languages, and approaches to resolve complex threading problems. I've a feeling the prolog innovations may be quite wide too, just maybe less obvious.
One amazing use of symbolic integration: https://github.com/johnbcoughlin/calctex

Create latex equations in calc! :D
Latency is a function of the speed of light - and in most engineering realms "speed" is well understood when using latency as a description. I had no qualms understanding what the creator meant, but I agree that the technical reality is the graph should be defined by "query latency" vs "query speed". Either way, fantastic data!

Hopefully this data is trended over daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly rollups. I see monthly when drilling into a provider, but that's all. A rolling annual graph would really tell a true story of how consistent a provider is and that, in itself, is very important when considering outsourcing DNS.
For generic builds or a specific language (family)?
This is quite an out of date article and your #3 is totally wrong.

Not only did the call for patents never actually materialize anything (12 supposed but never named companies in a press release four years ago), Google bought out the MPEG LA's claims anyway[1].

Meanwhile the VP8 patent grant[2] is exactly the kind of thing being contrasted here: you lose your license to the VP8 patents only if you sue over patent infringement in VP8 itself.

The existentialists[1] made some of the most thoughtful treatments of the human condition (among them, my favorite sub-group is the absurdists, who regard the human condition as absurd). Existentialism, however, offers a rather naive view of humanity, as possessing an inherent essence (they were essentialists), like reason, or disparate personal essences to which one can and should be "authentic". Nevertheless, their texts serve as the basis for much of modern philosophy (yet they are very entertaining).

[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism

[2]: More modern philosophers, like Michel Foucault, while accepting the premise of an absurd existence, reject the notion of an inner human essence, and firmly place the human condition within spheres of influence which they called "power", which then served as the basis for the modern definition of politics as the theory (and practice) of power.
Good point. Thanks for the feedback. You really don't need to sign up to experience what projects we offer but some stuff requires sign up as you said. We will make sure that we remove the ambiguities and work on our copywriting.

As for your questions :

1- Experts in the field working with us have come up with Applications. We are working with some companies so that they can put sponsored applications on our website that they would love to see on a candidates resume. In addition, if anyone has an idea for a project they can submit it on the project page and we will work with them to refine it and put it there.

2- The community does the code reviews. As you said this is unclear right now on the landing page. Basically, if there is a person who have done the project before you with a good score, they will review the code. Reviewing someone's code is also part of your portfolio so you get a score for doing it.
Then it wouldn't be Kodachrome. Kodachrome is fundamentally a different type of film from regular color negative and slide film, much less b&w film. It has no dye, rather the dye is added during processing.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-14_process

An easier-to-process color slide film exists... it's E-6. Some of the later Fuju slide films got very good using this process.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-6_process

E-6 is easy enough to do at home, and good enough that it is largely responsible for Kodachrome's decline. You're kidding yourself if you think there would be any market for something between the two.

Offtopic, but I'm glad I discovered that Saleae scope. I haven't found any other economical way to sample a number of analog inputs in parallel. $219 for 8 analog inputs over USB is great value and I just ordered one. I didn't even bother looking for any of the supposed clones. I only wish I could afford $599 for the 16 analog inputs, but the value prop. isn't as great.
