I get the impression that stripe has abandoned jquery.payment (or at least it's a side project and not part of their core offering?). Because it does not actually work out of the box with the stripe.js library (see https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment/issues/160 , which has a lot of "+1's" from other people but no response from stripe or whoever it is that maintains this library).
> Health insurance never provided 100% coverage

Of course not; it's designed to limit liability in the case of disaster, not pay for absolutely everything. The term "Out of pocket maximum" may prove relevant here; there's a limit to your annual liability, which is what you're paying for.

Read the article I linked about safety margin, which talks about several tiers of safety margin. The very last of which, after a half-dozen other possibilities, is "you can always go back to work".

Not for over a century, including the Great Depression and the .com crash, according to various studies as well as publically available data from which anyone can make the same calculations. Evidence, please?

By 1%, and that's justified elsewhere in the articles, but even if you go with 4% that doesn't wildly change the numbers.

> it takes you 22 years

First of all, 22 years is a lot better than most people's retirement plans. That means you can retire in your 40s, rather than your 60s.

Second, could you please clarify what numbers you're using and assumptions you're making? I don't know where your multiplier of 35 is coming from. From the numbers in your table, it looks like you're assuming 40k/year of savings. It matters whether that's 40% of 100k or 50% of 80k; the percentage determines your years to retirement, not the absolute amount.

If we're talking about saving 40% of 100k, then yes, you get to retirement after 22 years, but the operative calculation is how soon your savings will reliably generate $60k/year in returns (since that's what you're spending). If we're talking about saving 50% of 80k, then you need to know how soon your savings will reliably generate $40k/year in returns.

Third, you've mentioned bad things that can happen over that period of time, but then you've also not allowed for good things, either. For instance, the assumptions behind the years-to-retirement calculation assume you never get a raise that allows you to save faster, and you never get a better return on investment (or if you do you spend it all), and you are incapable of adjusting your spending based on your returns.
> how many folks choose to commit suicide, and then in the absence of any easy method, don't, and then ultimately be glad they didn't?

I'm one of them. Yet that gives no one the right to substitute their will to live for mine. I have made many, many wrong decisions in life. Suicide may well one day be my last. But a life in which I'm prevented from making those mistakes is one more worth leaving.

> So, to answer your question, yes, I think we should make it harder for them.

That would be unethical aggression against another person, and not a mild one. If I resolutely stood between someone and their means of suicide they would be justified in using using deadly force to veto me.

> Yes, I agree, absolutely folks should be able to make their own decision, assuming they are of sound mind. But the vast majority of suicide is not by someone of sound mind.

That's a Soviet approach to mental health, where having a disfavored opinion was enough to make you legally incompetent. I understand deep depression intimately, yet disagree that it's grounds to infantilize another human.

There are actually lots of old piano roll recordings from great artists like Rachmaninoff, Gershwin any many others around. Some people actually scanned them and converted them to MIDI:

These files can now be played on a Yamaha Disklavier, or the Steinway CEUS or now this new one.

Or they can be played with software-modeled pianos like PianoTeq or sampled-based software pianos. Really nice.

"Get me a Coke..." was accomplished in 1972 by Terry Winograd's SHRDLU and many 3rd gen AI systems since.

NNs will almost certainly succeed where expert systems failed, largely because we now understand that no single monolithic pattern matcher will suffice alone. Any cognitive engine must be composed of many components, each attuned to a different purpose and context. And now we better recognize the huge need for learning, both for initial skill acquisition and for lifelong thereafter.

Minsky's "Society of Mind" is probably a better illustration of how AI will evolve (if not manifest), as well as how it must integrate with our myriad collective needs and personal lives.

I doubt that anyone would choose it for other stacks, but this means that you don't need a separate build system for building your existing .NET project on non-Windows.
Okay.

So, what about the others? Putting forth several (dozens?) cases where solitary was wrongly imposed does in no way make that case for the majority, now does it?

Given that logic, you could make the argument for a single incident of <pick a color> person killing a <pick a different color> person to mean that all <pick a color> people are raving racist murderers.

Personally, I'm not in favour of prison for violent offenders.
Anybody else think GitHub was more responsive to users and used to create more useful new features before they had $350 million in fun money?

I'm so happy they have a full replica of the oval office to play around inside, but some days it feels like they've abandoned the public interface in exchange for... nobody knows.

How many hundreds of millions of dollars will it take to finally improve the issue tracking system? Can it even be fixed with a hundred million dollars? Maybe it's more of a billion dollar funding problem. Nobody knows anymore.

GitHub makes it easy to drop approved licenses in any project, but what about dropping approved governance models in projects too? These days the governance of a project (roadmap, participation, core committers, sub-committers, issue-resolvers, moderators, time to resolve issues, formal how-to-become-committer processes) is a first-order component of projects too, but everybody is making it up as they go along. It's as if people were hand-writing licenses for each project. Imagine if GitHub had "select your governance model" multi-choice system like they do for licenses? Maybe that requires two billion dollars in funding to get pushed through. Nobody knows anymore.

I remind you that It was AMD who created 64 bit x86. This is why it is originally called (and still sometimes rightfully called) AMD64. I mentioned Jim Keller because he is the co author of x86-64 instruction set specification and lead architect of K8 (opteron) processors. He went back to AMD and working on the new Architecture since 2012. It is true that last 8 years was mostly disastrous for AMD, but I wouldn't count them off so fast, especially if they can ramp up on 14nm with a high IPC design. Time will tell.

That’s funny if true, because I’ve heard that other parts of the company dogfood to an extreme extent.

As a sidenote, I’m rather surprised that there’s no open source Cocoa IDE aimed at Apple platform development. TextMate 2 would make for a great starting point, covering the source editor and file tree portions. LLVM provides all of Xcode’s syntax coloring, error checking, etc, so that’s taken care of too. The three big pieces that’d need to be written are XIB/Storyboard editing, project editing (clang flags, code signing, etc), and integration with clang, iOS simulator, etc. It’s a big project for sure, but far from insurmountable. If it’s written with Obj-C/C++ and Cocoa/Foundation, many of its biggest users would also be its best contributors and the project could go far quickly.

If you did not have time limits you could exhaustively search through Pi looking for your data, then store just the offset into Pi.

Or if the offset got too large then Pi to the power of lots of random numbers. One of those numbers will, somewhere, have your data. But it's infeasible to search for it.
I think having a story is fine, but being a story is much more dangerous - mostly for reasons like lacking control, choice, and agency over it. The answer isn't to abandon the story, but to choose your story and how you relate to it.

Thank you. OIDC and OAUTH 2.0 are non-trivial protocols to get right. But, the opportunity is having a federated set of standards that web infrastructure can use.

That's why I said "effectively" impossible. There are so many orders of magnitude between what we can detect and what would be needed to study the CNB. It's hard to have hope that we'll ever be able to overcome that, though it'd be awesome if we could.

I have not used the current version but I have used a number of previous versions, and my experience is that it certainly has not always been this way. Many versions have been very reliable for me, although granted I use it mostly for developing command line tools in C/C++. But even when doing development for iOS a couple of years ago, it was very solid. XCode has its roots in ProjectBuilder for NeXT, a long and distinguished history. Maybe they have released some bad versions. I hope they can get it together.
> But why would you use an operating system that hasn't been updated in 9 years?

The same reason why people still run Apple ][s and Commodore 64s and old DOS machines: nostalgia.

I mean, if I were to try and build myself a real Jurassic Park workstation, it would be a disservice for it to be running Linux on an x86. No, I want the real deal: IRIX on MIPS, complete with an animated Nedry confronting unauthorized users with "Ah ah ah! You didn't say the magic word! Ah ah ah!".

And yes, I'm aware of jurassicsystems.com, but it just doesn't feel the same. It also doesn't have `fsn`, so I can't zoom around my filesystem in 3-D while muttering that "it's a UNIX system; I know this!".
What's even worse is that I recently jumped into asp.net 5 and tripped over three build systems and a pile of cack just trying to get it off the ground. Now msbuild as well!?!

Also its not even the right tool to build .net stuff. Add the shoddy dependency resolution steps plus the shitty performance of NTFS on lots of small files (MFT contention) we have to wait 8 minutes for a build. I wrote my own system in powershell and we're down to two minutes. Also, powershell sucks awfully too but that's another story.

Frustratingly I've played around with golang on and off for around two years now. I've not written anything significant in it yet (lack of opportunity more than anything else). You know what's cool about it?

I mastered the entire build system in about an hour and its the same on all platforms and it just works and works quickly.

MS: go look there for some inspiration. Building stuff for the CLR is horrible.
There are patent pledges and promises not to assert patents: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecifications

Portions of .NET are under ECMA and ISO standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Infrastructure...

I think the most important part is that the new cross-platform .NET core framework, CLR, and compiler (Roslyn) are under permissive open source licenses (MIT for fx and clr, Apache 2 for Roslyn). You can see licenses and patent pledges here: https://github.com/dotnet/

Disclaimers:

2. Not that smart and definitely not a lawyer.
Well, IA64 is not just in-order, but Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW), per Wikipedia a 128 bit instruction had 3 instructions. If your compiler is not smart enough (hmmm, especially if your language is too low level, like C/C++), it sure looks like "just in time" out-of-ordering will beat VLIW in keeping your execution engines running. And surely caching makes a big difference here.

I don't know how to compare a MIPS family in-order superscalar with Intel's P6 style out-of-order. ARM out-of-order cores are supposed to be quite a bit faster than their in-order designs in IRL, aren't they?
"The solution? Dissolve land-use regulation, pay residents to allow developers to build new structures, and distort the market in favor of the renters by levying a land-value tax."

Small nitpick.

Land markets are generally distorted by default: improvements in the immediate area generate 'privately captured positive externalities' for land-owners in the form of increased unimproved land-value: in other words, pure economic rents that are capitalised into increased private land values. Taxes (like LVTs) that transfer some of this value from private to public hands reduce this distortion: they actually enhance allocative efficiency.

It's a fascinating dynamic, and IMHO this uncorrected distortion is a major driver of boom-bust cycles in the macro-economy. Mark my words: the economic depression that will occur in the next 5 years will be started by bubbles popping in residential property markets (China's first, most likely). Consequently, we'll be looking at financial system collapse when this is transmitted to banks via insolvent residential property speculators (to whom they've loaned significant amounts of money).

This ain't going to be pretty.

"If I build a fireplace for myself, it is natural for me to make a place to put the wood, a corner to sit in, a mantle wide enough to put things on, an opening which lets the fire draw.

But, if I design fireplaces for other people - not for myself - then I never have to build a fire in the fireplaces I design. Gradually, my ideas become more and more influenced by style, and shape, and crazy notions - my feeling for the simple business of making fire leaves the fireplace all together."
