Which is definitely applicable in this case. There is more data to be obtained from a person's smartphone than could ever have been obtained from their papers or personal effects; no one in the past could have anticipated recording data on that scale themselves.

I would argue that it's a difference in quantity which produces a difference in kind. When the "papers" in question contain e.g. a complete history of your location for the last four years, along with all of your communications to everyone you know, any search of those papers is by definition open-ended.

Games are sadly just on the cusp of developing a true arts culture - but we have yet to move out of the consumer mentality, where the only value of a game is if you were entertained by it at your most base level.

> Do you really need nested ifs all over the place?

A maximum cyclomatic complexity level of 3 is rather acceptable and also the technique of compounded class names you're pushing for is no different than nested selectors since the same abstract logic operations, namely «if» and «and», are at play too under the hood for both cases

> If you're nesting styles, your styles are likely extremely tightly coupled with your html structure.

That's the whole point of encapsulation. I prefer to draw the encapsulation line at the component level not the sub-componenent level.

It's like an application of the "open/closed principle" where the component is open for the outside world to be manipulated as a single unit but it's closed and obscure from the inside.

This achieves in my opinion a greater degree of re-usability and portability. You just import the component where you need it and apply the styles you wish and then the component functions the same no matter where you place it because of the loose coupling with the outside world and the tight coupling and high cohesion inside.

However, if you'd like to carry out changes on a sub-component level and there isn't any exposed interface already, for instance through a Sass mixin that would allow you to tweak the inner parts, unfortunately you'd have to know what you're doing whether on CSS or HTML front to make sure you are not breaking anything and getting things done correctly.

To summarize, the main point of disagreement between me and you is where each one of us would draw the encapsulation line, I prefer a more "macro" approach while you're in favor of more "micro" and granular control over the building blocks of your software which should work fine for either of us simultaneously.

> An interesting thought is to consider a world of fully mobile people - who will move and who will stay in a country with universal basic income and high taxes?

The only way you get a world full of "fully mobile people" with no barriers to relocation is if the world is one sovereignty rather than several, in which case if there is a country with UBI and high taxes, its the only one.

But lots of people -- including rich ones -- who do have the practical choice to leave or stay (though they aren't fully mobile as borders and immigration policies do erect some costs and barriers to relocation) do stay in countries with relative high, progressive taxes and strong social safety nets today. I don't see why incorporate UBI into those social safety nets would change that.

Apparently, civilization -- as opposed to the law of the jungle -- is attractive to people, even many rich people. Who knew?

Buckminster Fuller was a pioneer of affordable and efficient housing engineering who began his career shortly after the Great Depression. In his 1980 book Grunch of Giants, he makes the prescient observations of the cyclical failure and subsequent bailouts of the US real estate and automotive industries and the high barriers to entry for innovators in this area:

>The first Beech-produced Fuller House was widely publicized. Soon 36,000 unsolicited orders, many with
checks attached, were received for the Fuller House. At this point it was discovered that no distributing industry
existed. The general building contractors had none of the complex tools for several-in-one-day deliveries of the
dwelling machines. None of the building codes would permit their erection. The severest blow of all was that
both the national electricians and plumber's organizations said they would have to be paid to take apart all the
prefabricated and pre-installed wiring and plumbing, and put it together again, else they would not connect the
otherwise "ready to live in" house to the town's or city's electrical lines and water mains. They held exclusively
the official license to do this by long-time politically enacted laws. No banks were willing to provide mortgages
to cover the sale of the Fuller Houses.

>Fortune made the mistake of assuming that "the industry industry missed" had at last come of age. But
evolution's inauguration of the "livingry" industry had to wait until capitalism had graduated, from its forcenturies-held assumption that physical land property constituted capitalism itself, to the startling realization
that the strictly metaphysical, technological "know-how" had become the most profitable property as the key to
exploitation of the invisible industries of chemistry, metallurgy, electromagnetics, and atomics.

>Reorganizing all its strategies, capitalism has now unloaded its real estate property onto the people by refusing to rent and forcing people to buy their condo or coop homes. Evolution had to wait upon the government guaranteed, forty-year mortgage-financing of housing's costs to exceed humans' financial capability to acquire. Evolution had to wait until the U.S. mass-production of automobiles exclusively as a money-making business had been made obsolete by the technological felicity of manufacturing by other countries' producers, thus leaving U.S. productivity to reorient itself to the necessity of rehousing all humanity in mass-produced, aerospace-level-of-technology livingry.

>Evolution was clearly intent on postponing the inception of the livingry service industry until humanity had graduated from its pre-twentieth century condition as a planet of remote nations to an integrated global society, all of which waited upon completion of a world-around network of highways, airlines, and telephones, and automobiles and jumbo jet airplanes. All these evolutionary events (requisite to the livingry industry) have now taken place or are about to take place in the very near future. If the political systems do not eliminate humanity with their weapons, the half-century-gestating, world-around livingry service-industry will soon be born.

Something we forget on Hacker News is that the vast majority of data and information requests are not made to spy on citizens without due cause.

The majority of requests are made because someone suspected of a crime (pick any crime: fraud, possession of child pornography, drug dealing) - and they believe there to be evidence on the device.

If we prevented legal authorities from accessing data on your phone, then in theory a peadophile would only have to ensure he/she downloads illegal images to their phone to ensure they cannot be caught.

The reason we have warrants is to ensure there is a second layer to verify that a search is proportionate. Obtaining information from a phone should certainly require a warrant issued by a judge; but it certainly should not be completely unobtainable.

> Googles customers are the advertisers

I see this repeated over and over again, but that's simply not true. The problem is that people treat such relationships as if it's a zero sum game.

But to make an analogy and please bear with me, if you look in nature at a natural food-chain, the relationship between the carnivore and the herbivore and then between the herbivore and the grass that it eats is not zero-sum at all, being actually a synergetic relationship, continuously creating value (in nature this means life). It's a wonderful relationship, with the grass storing sun energy into calories that can be consumed. And the carnivore wouldn't survive without that grass, as no grass means no herbivores left to be eaten. And the herbivores themselves depend on the existence of a natural enemy, otherwise they'd breed too much and quickly deplete their food source. Now skipping over the cultural taboos we have over the relationship between hunter and pray, there's something to be said about the synergies in a food-chain that apply to economic systems just as well.

You can say that Google's customers are the advertisers and by that implying that its users are actually the product that they are selling. But the truth is more complex than that. Because users are not produced on an assembly line, like Apple is producing its hardware. Users have a mind of their own and can install ad-blockers or can switch to other products and services if you piss them off. For these reasons users are not a commodity. And so the fact is that users along with advertisers are Google's customers, being in a synergetic relationship. Of course, if money change hands that's even better and note Google's forays into the subscription based model, along with Google Apps or YouTube Red.

And by your logic, Apple's customers are the carriers and the app developers, which is actually true but note that the interests of the carriers and of app developers can also be in conflict with the interests of Apple's users. Have you noticed that your carrier can disable your right to create a Wifi hotspot with your iPhone? Because I did.

Back to Google, their genius is that they recognized this synergy and played in the interests of everybody. Well, at least in the times of Eric Schmidt. It all went downhill when Vic Gundotra led the Google+ effort. I don't know what's this tendency to hire management from Microsoft, but along with the likes of Stephen Elop I'm seeing a pattern. Anyway, lately I've been dissatisfied with Gmail's support for standards, so I decided that I don't want to encourage a monoculture and switched to FastMail. I hope they'll return to their strategy from the days of Eric Schmidt, because if trust is lost amongst us techies, then it's really hard to regain it - see Microsoft - and us techies are quite an influential bunch.
It's considered OK by system in most, if not all european countries. Some rules apply, some places are more restrictive than others, but at the end, this is all legal and supported by law. So yes, there is legally nothing dodgy or wrong there. Quite large parts of populations are employed in this way. More work, more reward.

Now why people need to resort to these practices to get more fair share of their brutto income is completely different topic, something around "voting with your taxes" about how public cash is spent (usually pretty badly). FYI, I don't do it anymore, got a perm job, but when I was doing consulting this way, I had all the possible support of my local tax office when something was unclear.
It makes sense to conduct business as a company for liability and tax reasons.

A doctor typically has a staff, or may want to have the ability to sell the practice later on. If you make $600,000 a year, why should you have to pay 40-45% tax on that income when $250k will be invested back into the business anyway? Why should you be compelled to subject your spouse and children to the liability of the business?

A real estate investor will often setup LLCs to isolate the liability associated with one property from the overall portfolio. Again, a legit business use.

Obviously there are abuses here, but the fundamental concept isn't wrong. Typically the abuses are when there isn't a bona-fide business. Some financial dude setting up a shell company for his bonus is an example of a questionable use of this approach in my book. When a person sets up a chain of shell companies to obfuscate the ownership or transfer of assets, that's obviously crossing the line into money laundering territory!

Money is the biggest sign of a disparity. But it's not the only sign.

Another sign is "does each side know what they are agreeing to?" In medical industry, that concept is called informed consent. A party who is accustomed to making $150-$500/hr can afford a lawyer to understand the legal and fiduciary risk. Someone making 'Uber Salary' most certainly cannot.

Next, contracts that are discussed and hammered out usually have discussions of liabilities. "What happens if I don't do X?"; "What happens if Y happens?". Instead, Uber et. al. either do not discuss it, or sweep it under the rug, only for the end worker to be bit by it when/if it happens.

For example, accepting UBER means you should have commercial driving license by the state. You should also have insurance that covers that. And there may also be other license or tickets you need to be in compliance. UBER knows many of these laws, and they do not inform the workers of these liabilities. It is not a far stretch to see that UBER is in cahoots to subvert law and be an accessory to insurance fraud

>the law doesn't treat the self-employed/other-employed spectrum sanely, such that employer incentives don't align with social goals. We should fix that, not demonize business that optimize for the current broken system.

We already have a tool for businesses to use: hire them. Good 'ol W2 employment. They're choosing not to, and abuse a system traditionally meant for specialized temporary labor. And what are we to expect when one side has such power ($50 billion banked) vs someone who needs a job? One side is being abused.
In particular, a pint of beer does have a lot of polyphenols which may be good for, say, sports recovery: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21659904

Some people are trying to make a lower-alcohol, salty beer that would be a real sports-recovery drink.

Anyone here have experience with old-country low-alcohol everyday beverages like sima, kotikalja, kvass, etc? Europe used to have a grand tradition of these low-alcohol "near-beers" or "malt beverages" that people would drink on the farm. They were hydrating and had a lot of the health benefits of above, but since the ethanol was low I'm not sure what effect they had on cardiovascular health.

Also, the Romans and others down south in Europe used to water their wine heavily -- they drank a larger volume through the day but kept ethanol ingestion moderate. I wonder what the health ramifications were.
More specifically, it seems that he's referring to software as a service (or service as a software substitute, depending on your POV) as the one netting the surplus value. Distributed server-side applications with intrinsically limited client-side interaction and no standard release model or auditability so to speak of. That's actually a rather different beast than just "software".
I can't believe that there are people in the USG that want to cut funding for this kind of research. Really? And spend it on what? Missiles to kill people?

> I think what he's saying is even warrants shouldn't be allowed to search the contents of your personal devices.

Indeed. I agree that such warrants should be deemed unreasonable. Unless the government can meet the criteria of "describing the place to be searched", going through a phone is more akin to a fishing expedition.
Possibly a variant of the "hard cases make bad law" issue.

Finding a bright line differentiation between formation of a company for "legitimate" (what does that even mean?) reasons vs. tax avoidance/optimization is likely impossible. It's quite likely that even pursuing this in legislation would only result in a net loss due to regulatory burden etc. without any real gain.

The Fourth Amendment protects people subject to the government (not "citizens", except insofar as those are a subset of "people subject to the government") from unreasonable searches. It sets standards for warrants to be issued, and this is generally read as implicitly creating a rule that, compliance with a warrant issued under that standard are a sufficient and, in all but certain exceptional cases, necessary condition for a search to be "reasonable", but the fundamental protection is against unreasonable searches, not warrantless searches.
> Slavery is being taxed at 100% of you output.

That may or may not be the case.

That's certainly not how slavery worked in classical antiquity, for the most part. It's not even how it always worked in the US South in the 19th century (e.g. http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/pds/maai/emancipation/te... has examples of slaves buying their own freedom, which is clearly impossible if you're being taxed at 100% of your output).

As far as I can tell, as slavery has become less and less "socially accepted" it has also become more brutal, because only the brutes (and typically criminals, as it becomes illegal) engage in slaveowning. And people's mental image of "slavery" nowadays (at least in the US) is a conflation of what happens now with some of the worst cases of 19th century slavery in the US. It's only broadly similar to various social institutions in different societies over the last 3000 years that are all called "slavery" and involve people with varying restrictions on their freedom.

And if you get a doctor who listens, they... tell you to do an elimination diet for a month, keep a food journal, and reintroduce foods slowly while taking notes on what happens!

A good doc would tell you to consider testing your way through FODMAPS since there have been a bunch of recent publications about them in major medical journals. As the GP poster points out, though, many people might take the idea of an elimination diet and figure they can eat all the gluten-free toaster waffles they want, which would continue to cause all the same problems if FODMAPS rather than gluten were the problem. Most starch-filled gluten free replacement foods are not good for your health anyway.
