Don't forget that for most of the ones that wanted something immaterial they also have "already made it" and have a reasonable allocation of wealth and material things already.

Besides, it looks fantastic to look like you care about people, the world, etc. I'm not saying they're making it up, but this whole article reads like a PR campaign for "look how nice and selfless I am!"
How does the Bitcoin auction work? Can't they also participate as a separate bidder and push the price to whatever they want?
Doesn't the dollar have value other than it being a default reserve currency? Even if oil is traded in other currencies, the US will still have excellent R&D and manufacturing ability, and the government will still be extremely creditworthy. That's where value really comes from.

As a thought exercise: are all the countries that use currencies other than the USD facing massive economic problems? Nope. So I doubt this is so serious that we need to overthrow governments. We do that for other reasons.
I find EC2 to be very expensive for development environment needs. The micro instance is a joke because of its slow IO and CPU availability, yet the small instance costs more (compared to Linode) and gives you more RAM than you'd need in a development server.

I find Linode 512MB hosts more than enough for development need, and the automatic backups make me feel better about leaving unfinished code and scripts on my server.

Also, if you gain a team member, you can easily clone your VPS to make a new development environment for the team member.

With all that being said, I use and encourage all my employers heading to the cloud to use AWS for production servers.
That would only work until the first insertion or deletion, at which point you'd have a frameshift that would probably render useless the "visual pop" since you'd be shifting phrases to different lines, etc.

someone above suggested the welfare aka safety net amounts to 40% of total expenditures, not 50%. Also once you exclude the under 20 population from your basic income you should exclude their welfare aka safety net costs. But in general your calculation has nothing to do with the cost of distributing welfare - the main driver behind basic income - instead you simply want to tax the rich and redistribute the money to the poor. I am not saying it is not a good idea, all I am saying is it has nothing to do with basic income.
> It doesn't use a ton of resources - they just need more IP addresses.

Aren't you also providing 100% of the resources if they are using your IP, or is there a way for them to do most of the work "behind" your IP?

Because I want to ensure the content creators I watch are supported, not just Youtube and the content creators it wants to support.

As I said, I don't think it's a fair value for how I use it.

I've heard the same about the Apple App store, not sure if Apple did anything to prevent that in the meantime.

Not sure if it should be prevented. In any case there will be more apps than anybody can browse manually, so all the app stores need good app discovery mechanisms anyway.

Can't say I am surprised. I wish ffos had done this.
Ah well - at least they tried and who knows, maybe not having to take on the hassle of hardware design and production will lead to a better Ubuntu release for existing top-end phones.
Great story, thanks for sharing, but there seems to be an obvious remaining question: why in the world did you do it for so long? What could you possibly do with $165k a year that is worth such pointless torture?
Git is not GitHub.
How do you know what their business plan is? They're a big boy company, they can make decisions based off of their own financial analysis. They decided that charging for this editor was more profitable for them as a company. Expecting something to be open source is like expecting McDonald's to give away cheeseburgers.
First, CBP officers grossly exceeded their jurisdiction. Dr. Dr. Von Der Haar’s US citizenship was never questioned, she wasn’t trying to enter or or ship and goods in or out of the country, and she was never accused of any crime. In general, immigration (as distinct from customs) offenses are handled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol, not CBP. We’re curious what basis CBP will claim for its officers’ authority to detain and interrogate Dr. Dr. Von Der Haar.

Completely wrong. CBP stands for 'Customs and Border Protection' and CBP is most definitely empowered to scrutinize arriving travelers for immigration eligibility, possible immigration violations, etc.: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/border_security/port_activities/o...

I'm not ensording their actions in this case but it's entiely possible that they drew their conclusions based on what the Greek vistor was having shipped to the US. If he, a recent arrival, appeared to be shipping personal property (eg furnuture or other residential-type stuff) then it's not surprising that they'd question his stated intentions of visiting the US for a short period. This sort of thing is common enough that questioning a US person about whether a romantic relationship existed is SOP and doesn't require any special access to email.
By GitHub (and Git's) own structure, everything is forkable. It would be very unlike them to prevent forking on one of thier own "special" repos, but in the worst case you could still:

git clone git@github.com:atom.io/core.git
git remote add fork git@github.com:grrowl/atom-core.git
git push -u fork master
It's my understanding that in open source communities, the relevant trademarks are usually held by a community-led foundation (e.g. the Apache Software Foundation, the Python Software Foundation). Is there no "Node Foundation"?
It's much better than closed-source software: they get you to do the work of fixing bugs, but they still keep the money!
For one thing because Git is open source, and who would expect a profitable open source company to attempt to commercialize an html5 text editor?
> It's fine to say, oh but the privacy! But that in itself isn't an argument. It's just an appeal to emotion, with no facts.

How about: I don't like to be watched. That's a fact, though I'm sure you'll dismiss it as an appeal to emotion.
Majority of those links have the same kind of popup asking for an email and offering some "tips" and "how to make money".. actually only zappos looks like a legitimate business from the ones listed.
I'm not so sure. If it's ordinary for prisoners to work for minimal compensation, and the judge orders you to go to prison, he has implicitly included the possibility of labor in that sentence. There are a lot of other aspects of prison that would not fly when you're dealing with a free person but which are generally considered to be implicit when you're sent to jail.
This is way better than polling based on false pretenses as suggested in previous submissions. That is a great way to solicit feedback. Thanks for the submission.
Why has this comment been downvoted? In my mind the parent makes a really interesting point.
Python for windows has a lot of batteries included, docs are available, and you can add any other docs you can think of via wget or other site crawling. Grab some of the online free books. Consider (strongly!) adding PyGame and any relevant documentation you can snarf, and poke around with Google for things like "learning python" and such. Take the extra moment to poke around for docs, when you can't just look things up it's much harder.
It might be a meaningless philosophical point, but I don't see how a company that only exists to serve people on behalf of a government with policies bought by industry lobbyists can be considered capitalist. It isn't even socialism because it seems to be permanent, not transitory.
> Likely only if it’s forked away from anything to do with its current maintainer,

And exactly why should I care about the current maintainer? Except maybe to say "thank you"?

Let's put the question upside down: what have you (or the gawker journalist) brought to me? I mean, besides your outraged opinions (which anyone is entitled to have!)

On one hand, you have a wonderful technical creation by someone asking nothing in return. On the other, you are providing... hatred towards the author? On a 2 hours old account?

I'm sorry if she breaks the kumbaya illusion, but people are not equal. Some can't escape the working class, or the welfare class - not due to any personal failure or limits, but due to societal indoctrination.

Some other people break free, and then bring gifts of the gods to mankind. They are called innovators, entrepreneurs - the name vary. But you know one when you see one. There is nothing is cosmopolitan that was "impossible" to achieve by anyone dedicated, even years before. There's nothing magic- except in the mind of the author, that associated the right pieces together.

> The history there will absolutely make larger interests hesitant to associate, contribute or integrate

If anything, your comment make me less likely to associate with you!

> particularly in today’s less forgiving culture.

I couldn't care less. The less forgiving culture is a problem for those who need to work ("will code for food" as they said during the dotcom crisis) or integrate with the rest of society. Unfortunately, that means most of the people here, especially those working for the FANGs.

But there are some of us who just don't care - except to lament that, when shown the way to escape, most geeks double down on their own mistakes, and remain chained to their FANGs masters.

So please go on attacking the author if that makes you happy, while the rest of us admire the creativity and new things made possible by cosmopolitan (and make money out of that too!)
> My personal take is that hobbies complete an already fulfilled life and not the other way around.

Exactly. You can fulfill a desire, but you can't fill a void.

Add ending the drug war and socialized medicine that provides for mental health services to the list.

Having two parents at home is important, but having a social worker and psychologist can do wonders too.

We can't fix everything but we should do all we can to give ever child a fair shot and a fair shot is more than free primary education.
So isn't the problem that those gifted students aren't being picked up?
> One of the things that I’d love to see in this that fancy zones is missing is the ability of windows to remember where they should be after I reconnect to my dock.

When I worked in an office, and had frequent meetings I had to take my laptop to, it irked me enough to come up with my own solution:

In general (pre-covid), it seems like of the officers who die in the line of duty, a little less than half had accidental deaths and a little more than half had felonious deaths.

https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-release...

I recall reading about the heart attack stat too, but I can't remember where it was from. It could account for the number of officers who died from heart attacks while off duty too.

Regardless, the amount of time, effort, and attention paid to the possibility of a felonious death seems out of proportion to the amount time, effort, and attention paid to accidental deaths, even though accidental deaths are almost as likely to occur.
I am making a comment just so I will see the project later. Swamped at work but in a week when I have some free time... I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas with presents under the tree.
Except for lots of people cars are also necessary
> The entire point of a government is to provide services

Of course. That doesn't mean the services it provides aren't socialism. For a country on balance to be socialist, more than have of its goods and services would need to be provided by the government.

> that definition doesn't sound useful.

It's exactly what socialism is:

"a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

The first definition when googling "definition of socialism". Government is the means by which the community effects socialism.

I've run into videos where the option is either to watch a tiny video as-is in the page (too small), or make it full screen (too large), with no in-between option. Twitch clips are an example of this.

If I pop the video out via PiP, I can resize it to a comfortable inbetween size.
I hear you, and I understand a lot of people in USA have had concerns about Murdoch for a long time. What I particularly have in mind though is that this whole Facebook thing seems like it was Murdoch trying out a new playbook for bringing big tech to heel.

And the first round of testing has been a resounding success from the Murdoch point of view.
Big institutions make the loans because small ones can’t bear the risk. A small investor might only have the capital to make a handful of mortgages, and so have a much higher variance in her outcome. A single default might eat all her return and then some. So the small investor might instead contribute to a much larger pool and earn a lower return with a much lower variance.

We could imagine mediating that transaction through blockchain something something, but degree of risk pooling - centralization - is the essential feature of the transaction
I'm no audiophile. I'm happy streaming 320kbs spotify with my premium account to a $50 pair of logitech computer speakers. No complaints of audio quality from me. Nobody has ever said anything either.
Same here. TV on, I get video, TV off and it's audio only.
I'm utterly fascinated, is it really possible to produce that much text on an unknown subject

I write SEO articles for some pocket money. I do not really know what I am writing but churn out 2000 words in a hour or so. I know SEO articles is not close to a academic paper, but just to illustrate.
The bikes were secondary to them being a media company. I wouldn't be surprised if they sold those bikes at a loss. I am not in their club, but their instructors were celebrities with celebrity-sized followings.

Even if people entirely stopped buying their bikes, they could be be acquired just for their content and brand.
Then you must agree that the problem that was solved is not in the literal sense of the word "ancient."
Peloton has a solid product, solid revenue, and a very devoted following. I think they will be fine as a medium sized company. The reality is they were just overvalued as a result of the pandemic. It should have been obvious to anyone that the insane user growth they had wasn't sustainable.
I'm in a similar situation to Mark. I left my previous company at the end of 2021.
I needed to take a break so I decided to take some time to learn Haskell better and

Isn't it pretty obvious at this point? The NYT likes MMT because MMT is commonly used as a justification for massive deficit spending (even if technically MMT doesn't advocate for this under certain conditions). The NYT wants deficit spending because they want to ram through a bunch of progressive grab-bag social programs, all to achieve racial harmony, or a permanent underclass, or equity or something. All the NYT does at this point is put out blatant spin articles to try and gaslight you into supporting the equity agenda. I respect Noah Smith but I think responding to the NYT is at this point beneath him.
I can't see how they can get away from it not being theft. No durable argument could be made in court they thought it was there to take, there is no way they didn't know it was someone else's property.
Yeah, as soon as I saw this post I thought of SPF and DomainKeys.

Seems simple:

If your mail/DNS is setup to support either of these, then cool you don't need to confirm.

Else, you must "ok" each post.

I have never physically been to a university that wasn't open stacks, is it common? It would seem antithetical to the Hippocratic Oath of Librarians.

I think there is nothing wrong with that as long as you feel healthy and are healthy. I think the point of the submitted post was that the author did not eat animal products and became very unhealty. That's pretty much it ...
Already being done. There are dozens of firms out there which specialize in this kind of analysis (data mining sites like linkedin, amazon, twitter, google insight etc. for trading purposes).
I think this a case of the 'tail wagging the dog'.

The author decided she wanted to be vegan for (possibly) superficial reasons.

She then found she couldn't be vegan for health reasons, but rather than take a step back and hold on to some of the principles she claimed to have (and become an ovo-lacto vegetarian; and see if that worked) .. cognitive dissonance came into play and she shifted her entire world-view around to suit her new choice of meat-based diet.

I imagine it must have been difficult to make the choice - but there's something about the subsequent rationalisation (and justification) that makes me feel uncomfortable.
It's more of a product design/user experience thing. Designing for mobile first (small screen etc, limited input controls etc.) and then moving to web is much easier than doing it the other way around.
1) No, you can have a Java webapp up and running in < 1 hour for < $10/month on an EC2 micro instance.
2) Compared to the other popular languages right now, Java will solve far more performance problems than it adds. And yes, performance matters, and hardware doesn't solve everything.
3) We use Java at StyleFeeder, and reached profitability before being acquired. I credit our ability to pivot/refactor/scale quickly and cheaply enough to get to that point to many things, not the least of which is our decision to use Java.
There's no way to prevent people from making fake Twitter/Facebook accounts to get your book.

Yeah, we hear that a lot. But we also know to the millisecond "how long" it took the light to get here etc. Yes, they are different frames of reference. But if we crawled over there we know exactly how much time had passed there, and how old the black hole would be when we got there.
You're correct. Unless a new interface could be invented, there's far too much friction in the idea, and like any network, it's value is proportional to the number of nodes. Unless all of a person's plans are in there, the value falls quickly.

It's pretty simple to see this - few of us even keep our 'formal' calendar up to date, of meetings, calls and plans. Very few people keep their 'informal' calendar up to date. I, for one, never create a task called 'buy truck', 'plan holiday'. The important, high value items never need to be written down. The ones that get tracked and remembered are the low-value ones like 'pay electricity bill' and 'pick up worming tablets for dog'. And they're the ones with little advertising value.

That said, there is probably a specific vertical niche in here that could be expanded, but more of an add-on to an existing network like facebook than a stand alone. Something like a 'holiday planning' where people could post a future plan like a trip to the Maldives, and have their friends (and advertisers) provide input on what to do while you are there.
I'm not sure if I'd really feel better when surrounded by armed soldiers and being questioned a couple of times on my way to the plane (also inside the bus that takes me to the airport as I understand) than if I would just have to go through a security gate, eventually take off my shoes and get my baggage scanned by x-ray. I mean, I was a couple of times questioned at the airport, with the usual questions ("did anyone other than you have access to your baggage?", etc.) and once they ordered me to open my baggage - and that didn't make me feel more safe or anything like that, rather uncomfortable and a bit pissed of, in a "wtf? do you seriously think I'm gonna explode the plane or what?" way.
Shortly speaking, I prefer to go through all those gates, have my baggage checked by security guys themselves ("go ahead, there's nothing there") than being bothered by some questions and be "under suspicion".
Don't know, maybe it's just that I'm from Europe and we don't care.

True, but most people freeze zero-passage cells in liquid nitrogen so that such mutations don't occur. I'm not sure at what stage her cells were originally frozen down, though, or if they're routinely passed at repositories like ATCC.
Very interesting. As with all outages of major services, it seems it started with a confluence of independently minor, unforeseen events.

One question they didn't address, though, is if they're going to address the core problem - that a positive feedback loop of overloading supernodes is possible. It seems to me that a p2p system should be able to recover from having 20% of its nodes taken offline, rather than spawning a full collapse.

Avoiding the scenario where 20% of supernodes go offline to begin with is of course desirable, but since any number of things could cause that, it seems like a genuinely resilient system should remain functional (even in a degraded capacity) even if only a small fraction of nodes remains available.
What is possible with voice command currently? I've been considering using dragon naturally speaking and set up to use voice commands for keyboard shortcuts but I don't want to bother if I can't make it sufficiently "star trek like".
