I have seen people in the ED with marijuana-related complaints. I can count the total number on my hands. Every single one of those patients has been absolutely fine. Am I aware of patients with marijuana-related complaints who weren't fine? Sure, a few case reports. But overall, the "dangers" of marijuana do not exist in a real sense, compared to the dangers of every other recreationally-used/abused substance out there, or compared to prescription medications, both psychotropic and not. Not even close.

This doesn't make any sense. When a bank creates a loan of $X and disburses the loan into the borrowers account, two things happen:

1) The bank's loan assets go up by $X
2) The bank's deposits go up by $X

Deposits are part of 'net transaction accounts'[0] so the bank would now need to hold 10% of $X in additional cash (e.g. in their vault).

So, it seems like the bank can create a loan of $X with just $0.1X of cash. Hang on, though. This assumes that the borrower just keeps the money in his bank account, which is unlikely. When she withdraws the money to spend it, the bank's reserve requirements go down by $0.1X (good) but they also need to pay out $X of cash (bad). So, it really did cost them $X to make $X of loan.

Now, if they have a CDS related to this loan, then they are insulated from the risk of default. But, how is that relevant to reserve requirements?

we're information
I disagree. There is no correlation between "real progress" and "not upsetting people".

There is clear, documented evidence that toxic teams and cultures are less productive than teams with high diversity that listen to each other and are safe to express opinions in. I would link it but you're probably not going to read it or listen to anyone else's opinions so you can google it yourself.

It's Tragedy of Commons stuff: there are marginal benefits to the individual of behaving like an asshole, but the group suffers.

> This car was driving a bit too conservatively

No, it was driving 1 mph below the maximum that vehicles in the NEV classification are allowed to operate at, and on a road that NEVs are allowed to operate on. Which is why it wasn't ticketed; it was operating properly.
>If everyone were driving slower, everyone would be safer

But that's always true. All the way down to 10mph speed limits.

The job of speed limits is not maximum safety at the cost of everything else.

In practice, people can tell the design speed of a road and mostly follow that, no matter what the signs say. Defecting or not doesn't matter very much.
"I feel that people sticking up for Apple here is some variant of the Stockholm syndrome."

Brand loyalty is a reasonable thing.

Look, most software for most people since the dawn of the personal computer era has been about begging, cajoling, threatening, and screaming at your vendor to support your pet feature.

Apple has succeeded in part because it by and large does listen to its customers, it just usually takes far too long to do it the "Apple way" ... but not so long that one wants to switch platforms.

In this case, I filed feedback with Apple (which does get read), asking for f.lux support on iOS and/or documented APIs they can use. I'll also file this away in my "reasons Apple sucks" list. This list tends to grow and shrink over time, which means I have some faith in being patient. With Microsoft in the 90s it just grew unbounded until Windows 2000 was released.

The open source world of course allows me to tweak whatever I want, and I did own an Android Samsung GS3 once, but couldn't really stand it. The Linux desktop (ran one from 1994 - 2001) doesn't suck but it makes my eyes bleed: not my thing once I switched to OS X.
>So it'd be accompanied by a loss of minimum wage floor as well as it should be as low as possible (approx USD 1000/mo after initial trial phase in Finland.)

To expand on this, removing the minimum wage is meant to make it easier for people to "get their foot in the door". The economic notion is that e.g. if X's labour is not worth more than $5 per hour, and the minimum wage is $10 per hour, then X will have great difficulty finding work (because the ultimate minimum wage isn't $10, it's $0). This means they'll have more trouble obtaining the work experience that would make them more productive. Removing the minimum wage means anyone can work who wants to, and the basic income protects them from the hardships that normally accompany low-wage jobs.

It seems fairly obvious that this problem is not exclusive to the academic world by any stretch.
If you take the same route around the same time you begin to discern faces from past days and weeks. They become a part of the environment, a contextual wayfinder. And you begin to notice their unchanging ways, mannerisms and preferences, their stops, their clothes, bags, styles... It's not always an unending sea of "strangers". You may not know them, but they are not strangers. They are your incognito companions.
You meant the safest thing for people in cars. This is not the safest thing for pedestrians, thousands of whom die from being hit by cars in the USA every year.
This is so good, but so tough.

The first interesting computer simulation game I remember playing was on the Apple II: Tuesday Night Football.

I tried forensically tracing the source. I ran across a listing on an Apple II archive site, and wanted to port it and share. But being conscious of IP rights, just having the source wasn't enough. I wanted to track it down. And in doing so, I ran across Charlie Anderson.

http://blog.firebones.com/2008/02/10/looking-for-tuesday-nig...

My update to that post:

More digging led me to the author of the original Tuesday Night Football, Charlie Anderson, and some artifacts related to the original version. It appears that after a brief life being sold through Apple dealers with mimeographed manuals and a disk stuffed in a plastic bag, Mr. Anderson was offered the sum of $1000 against 10% net royalties to assign the copyright of the game to Automated Simulations, Inc., which rechristened it as Tuesday Morning Quarterback.

A company acquired another company, and the trail went cold when the rights landed in some UK company circa 1990.

If ever there were a case for some kind of laws around abandonware and extending the life of forgotten software, this is it.

> In practice, people can tell the design speed of a road and mostly follow that, no matter what the signs say. Defecting or not doesn't matter very much.

It does, because what people can tell is only the design of the stretch of the road they're at. They have no awareness of how it interacts with rest of the roads in the area. By ignoring the rules they make it significantly harder to optimize traffic flow globally. And even if the limits were wrong, it's still better to have bad rules that are actually followed, because then people responsible can actually observe they're bad and change them for the better.
> I would be missing out on would be keeping up to date..

Know what? May be it does not matter. May be it is a "learned necessity". For example, you don't need to have facebook to keep up to date with all the family members. You just need to call your mom back home and have a chat with her once in a while. Wouldn't you think that would be much healthy way to do this that steals very little of your time and attention?
> In practice, people can tell the design speed of a road

I think there have been quite a few studies showing most people think they are above average at driving. I don't think people do this at all. I think they are overconfident, hurrying apes, with no real conception of stopping distance or kinetic energy, aiming to just miss each other with these multi-ton projectiles. It's sadly not surprising how many people are killed on the roads.

I think "sowing the seeds" is something that should be developed early on into the company culture even at a smaller scale. Otherwise, it won't magically implement itself when you get busier (at later stage of the company).

This is actually a really compelling argument that I hadn't heard before. Is there a good, short-ish reference on these arguments that you know of?
"the current system will destroy science"

I'm uncertain about this. The scientific method can luckily not be destroyed, and I wonder whether the self-destruction of academia is a good or bad thing. It is certainly not painless and will certainly take innocent victims.

If you consider non-equilibrium thermodynamics analogies, the quicker the system destroys itself the better it is, as it more or less _has to_ explode before it reorganises.

In Finland it has started already, as universities are required to get part of their funding from industry, and it's especially hard to accomplish in smaller cities.

The possible improvements would truly need mind blowing. I can't even think of a reason why those cars would have to stop asking the way if everything goes right. There would be no more need for traffic lights or stop signs to coordinate traffic between cars. You would still need them for pedestrians. However, if the traffic lights are integrated I the same system as the cars then the cars can just adjust their speed to not have to stop at the light. Their gain in fuel efficiency would be huge!

> People should learn to take harsh critique and not let it affect them too much personally.

Well, my straight-up critique is that you're trying to pass your personal preference off as some sort of broad rule, and I think that's bunk. If you like being a jerk, godspeed. But other people get to think that you're a jerk and ignore you if they want.

> Taking delicate care [...] but doesn't pave the way for real progress.

That's the opposite of my experience. My simple model for it is "trust credit". If I'm generally kind and respectful, if I usually work to create good feelings, then I slowly build up trust credit. The more trust credit I have, the more people are willing to listen to difficult truths from me.

Today at work we did a project retrospective covering more than a year of work. There were a lot of difficult things to say. But what got us through was all the effort we put into building strong relationships as we worked together.

Fair enough, maybe the development team for this particular component is much larger than I'm imagining. Maybe I'm being naive about the head count at work behind the scenes on a project like this.

It's not really good news either way though. In my mind this would have been a smaller team, tasked with pulling the data over and then working on it to construct recognition scores, and passing a message back to prompt the user. This would have been a smallish team of 20 or 30, to do it quick and dirty.

For on-device processing, the project grows much more complicated, not just to develop, but also to test and prove end-to-end. So time and human resources are both more costly. And so too, come trade-offs. Network bandwidth, versus device battery/procesor/memory resources.

But all of this to push the envelope and solicit the user to expose more data to a for-profit service. Is it really something more convenient? Another nagging reminder, to do something the user doesn't need much prompting for?

The more weight thrown behind these sorts of projects the more curious the motives become.
Here in Hamilton Ontario we had a distinct variation on the "hygenic fountain", the Shorty Green (named after a local NHL player 100 years ago).

It was a cup-sized continuously-overflowing cauldron that would flow into a surrounding catch-basin. I assume it was quite inefficient since it was always flowing, and didn't seem hygenic. They were still around when I was a kid in the '80s, and I remember loving how freezing cold and voluminously-flowing the water was.
I don't think that argument holds up under examination.

If you define safety as the risk of your car getting damaged, then maybe you reduce the probability of any kind of accident, without reference to severity.

But you define safety as the "risk and severity of injury,", as almost any person would, the slower you go, the safer you are, under all but a few scenarios, like driving below the posted speed limit on a highway.
I'd be interested in reading about that. A brief search yielded research about effects of diversity on team performance, but I couldn't find articles on toxic or hostile cultures.

Banning cyclists on roads should be done based on road usage, not speed. There are lots of 60-80 kph roads that are perfectly safe to ride on and where you won't obstruct car traffic.

To be silly, I could turn the question around. How do you feel about cars on roads that are slower than 60 kph? We could ban cars on all residential roads and have wonderful walking/cycling communities. When I was living in the UK I was amazed at how many high streets have gone pedestrian. It has reinvigorated small towns.

Of course the problem is, "What happens if I can't get from A to B in my car?" I think for car drivers the idea of banning cars on residential roads makes this point very clear. The same thing happens with bicycles. In many cities it is impossible to get from point A to point B without a car. This encourages/forces cyclists to use inappropriate roads. As the sibling post notes, we need to do a better job of designing our cities.

Living in Germany, I never heard about anyone ticketed for this. The only case really covered by this rule is, that one drives extremely slow under good conditions. Otherwise, in many situations "safety" would be a good reason. And in general, you cannot be asked to drive faster than your car can go. With the exception of the Autobahn and a very few similar streets, the Google car would be legal to drive speed-wise, most tractors are even slower and road-legal.

Unfortunately I don't think this is going to work as long as there are any other benefits paid on an "individual basis", eg some cultures here get extra money for their traditional dresses paid for by social security! And if you have kids and have spent all your "basic income" then you will still get new strollers (top of the line) etc for your babies, or cellphones for yor self and your family, with paid plans. Or your electric and internet bills paid.

Nowadays the situation living in helsinki center is that only rich and unemployed people can afford to live there. You know, "close to where the work is!".

You can only build up trust credit over extended periods of time.

In modern, globalised science, you often have to deal with people you've never met before, and may never meet again. This requires a different approach critique. What counts as an acceptable critique is part of the core methodology of each scientific discipline, and differs with subject matter. In mathematically oriented fields one can often come up with clearcut counterexamples as a way to criticise a statement. This is not so simple in humanities. One may wonder if the dismissal of critique as AH-behaviour may also be a social strategy to dismiss criticism.

It is not surprising that the author of the original article has a humanities background.

They could tweak it so you get your basic income, if you forgo other forms of subsidies (as Milton orig. proposed). Also, Russians can't just cross the border and become eligible as it appears it's citizens only. And I wouldn't begrudge Laplanders, life up there is austere.

If they choose this, then "rational" unemployed would move to the outskirts and rent cheaper properties till they could afford more expensive apartments (via new jobs). Hope they can keep it free of interference so it can be gauged for success or failure.

> Don't forget that it's not possible to "use up" matter - it's always still there, a little effort and you can use it again.

The key here is that "little effort". Ignoring the fact that we neither can (because of tech level) nor want (because of market economy) recreate the important resources we're depleting, you absolutely can use up energy from a practical standpoint. Yes, total energy is conserved, but as it reaches higher and higher entropy levels, it becomes less and less usable, until it's just thermal waste.
Basic Income is a utopian fantasy which sounds good but will never work because of human nature. A bit like communism.

It's good that Finland will do a very limited test. When it inevitably fails, the world will be able to say "if Finland can't get it too work, then what chance any other country?".

Also, here is a quote from the article that is complete nonsense.

"In European countries, we have arrived at a situation where large numbers of people are unemployed, with very little chance that these numbers will go down in the near future. This is particularly due to the (proven) fact that automation and robotization are destroying more jobs than innovation can create."
