It seems to me that the reason you spend time accruing trust credit is to maintain your likability among people when you're obligated to do things that are unlikable. That's fine. But how much does that improve performance or enable progress? What is the optimal amount of likability for healthy workplace that performs well?

Let's take military bootcamp as a counter-example. People form strong friendships in a high stress environment where they might actively dislike their superiors. Their skills, abilities and tasks progress in leaps and bounds. Obviously this doesn't directly apply to normal workplaces, but provides an example of a situation where disregard for likability doesn't result in a bad work environment.

I believe the sense of belonging is a core human need, and people go to different lengths in making sure they have that. We all do at some level. What you do with "trust credit" probably makes your workplace a nicer environment, but I don't know how much it matters for performance.
You seem to be assuming that registrars are exempted from this imaginary problem of "tampering".

Why should I trust the registrar's data? (Your data.)

Why should you trust the registry's data?

Why should we trust ftp.internic.net?

But I guess we can't be sure if ICANN's servers have been compromised, right?

The truth is I am not too worried about the zone files I download. Thousands of people download com.zone every day. Millions download root.zone.

And I do not care to play the "chain of trust" game that DNSSEC requires.

Every DNS admin nowadays disables AXFR.

They have their reasons.

But to me the principle of downloading zones still makes perfect sense.

I would not use axfr when ssh and rsync are available, but the point is the same.

Why get IP addresses piecemeal when I can get them in bulk?

Far more efficient. Not to mention reducing the number of opportunities for tampering.

That is normal here too, and it's more like 7-8 mph. So you can receive a ticket for impeding traffic even if the people you are supposedly obstructing would be exceeding the speed limit? Instead of ticketing the slow guy, set up a sting and ticket every person exceeding the limit by more than 6 mph. This whole thing sounds backwards.
Fuck I hate it when people do that i.e. 99.99% of the time. Just go as soon as the person in front of you starts going and build your gap by accelerating slightly slower than the person in front of you _after_ you are on the other side of the traffic light.
Columbus's problem wasn't that people thought the Earth was flat (it was widely known in Europe since Greek times that the Earth was round). His problem was that he got his math badly wrong and severely underestimated the distance to China. The only reason he didn't kill his crew was because there happened to be an unknown continent at such distance as he thought China to be.
I wonder if it would make sense at some point for VCs to make seed investments at infinite valuations -- that is, taking no equity at all -- in order to obtain information rights. Even if there are no follow-on investment rights attached, having insider information on how well a startup is doing must be worth something...

(For legal and tax reasons I'm guessing the "infinite" valuation would instead need to merely be astronomically high; the point remains however that in an economic sense they would be buying information rights rather than shares.)
Oh... Thanks! :)
I love the work you do, BTW.

I already had the source, but over time I've acquired an IP conscience that wouldn't let me go as far as you've gone. (Seeing Charlie Anderson explain to me stuff about his program that I would have known had I not been using a pirated copy was a wakeup call, even though he was far from his $1000 and 10% days.) But perhaps when software is 30+ years old, it is better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.

Is there any way to contribute to Discorunner? It seemed kind of resource intensive when I last used it, and wanted to look at source to see if I could help, but I didn't see any way to contribute.
I remember the dread I felt when I read that news, but it went away real quick .. I'm not even sure it was the whole story. I expected more backlash against intel for rigging a whole market that way.

There isn't really much to see at UofC, and you can go to a monument at the site now.

Most of the sites in the secret cities are decaying, cut off to the public or at extremely limited access, and the goal of the park is to preserve and help open them up. The graphite reactor (X-10) in Oak Ridge, for example, is a fairly tourist friendly site (one of the pics on the site), but it is right on the campus of ORNL, and it requires access to the lab or a rare tour to actually visit it. Hopefully the park can get security right and get the funds in place for frequent visits.
It's not only the native UI. Getting rid of the deploy to device step would be a big improvement. Shortening the feedback loop between coding and testing improves opportunities for experimentation.

I would like to point out that several EU countries have minimal basic income

Sort of, but that different from the unconditional income for all adults, which is what the article is about. For one there's what you mention yourself, but afaik there are also countries where you have to be able to prove you are actively looking for work/follwoing courses/... in order to continue to receive it. (btw one reason unconditional income might in the end be cheaper for a country lies in getting rid of the administration to deal with all these rules and execptions).

Apart from that there are the social aspects, here's one: I know enough people who tend to look down on others who are not working and receiving that income. That might fade away if both groups get the same income, as the offenders will quickly realise they would be looking down on themselves.

> Ultimately, we pulled the app both to show good faith, and also because we were asking hundreds of thousands of people to use Xcode to make accounts and sign our software. When Apple calls up and says they don't want that to happen

I called this yesterday[1], and I was told Apple would never do this.

Now that they did... Gee, colour me surprised!

To be honest I'm a little bit surprised. I assumed it would take more than 24 hours. Good job being the tech kill-joys you always are, Apple.

I love this approach personally. Unfollowing almost everyone (except for a few I actually want to see) has it so I usually am OK with going on there now without feeling exasperated. I'm learning a foreign language so I began following people I don't even know who use that language so I can get practice reading it. I'm trying to make it work for my needs instead of completely checking in or out of the whole thing.
I hate seeing this is a the top comment on every story on Facebook. I don't know about North America but here in India , Facebook is synonymous with the internet and getting rid of it altogether is like cutting yourself off from everyone else.

I have so many friends whom I couldn't reach if it weren't for Facebook. This is why I'm skeptical of people predicting peak Facebook. They've managed to entrench themselves to quite an extent in a way that few companies have done before.

If you can't fathom what "normals" get out of Facebook then you need to get out of your HN/Valley filter bubble.
At least your NEVs are limited to less than 25 mph. Here in Europe, cars like the Renault Twizy [1], the Reva etc. are all registered as four-wheel motorbikes because they won't survive a crash test. But they will easily do 50 mph and you can legally drive them on any highway. These things really are death traps.

> It's not even one-in-a-million chance of dying. It's one-in-90-million chance. That is really very good odds.

For you individually. Multiply that by the amount of drivers and the average amount of miles driven, and you get multiple deaths per day - almost one hundred a day, actually, in 2013.

The individual odds make drivers feel safe - and thus behave like idiots - and the result is tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths annually.
That's what I was wondering, too.

I think Apple may have been a bit too generous with this offering. How long does the code signing stay valid this way? Forever?

I think it would have been sufficient for the majority of use cases if an app sideloaded like this would only be valid for like 12 - 24 hours. I mean, as you wrote, this system is supposed to be for devs who want to test their apps on devices without having to pay for the dev program.
I think 12 hours would be enough time to judge you progress on device. Since you are going to test many iterations of that app, you are going to deploy it often anyway. Why would there be a need to have those apps work forever?

I realize there are edge cases where some people would want a longer, broad beta test for their app but is that really necessary for such a "free" option? Surely if you plan out your app of such scale and you arrive at that point in time to warrant a week long beta test you will very likely deploy on the app store anyway so you might as well buy into the 99 bucks a year program to correctly sign your apps.

Had Apple directly limited the time sideloaded apps like that work and made it public that this is "just" a feature aimed at developers to become interested in iOS development, this whole thing could have been avoided.
Sadly, it's many University PR offices. I know Stanford's is absolutely abysmal as well for overhyping stories.
The average income will also rise, people who make 3.1k/month now will make 3.9k.
Another point of view is that the wage of the labor (eg. $5/hr) is a subjective amount coming from the negociation between the employer and the employee, and consequently their respective bargaining power. So, for some jobs, the real wage is not $10 or even $5/hr, it is effectively "the lowest amount law let an employer pay someone", due to the dramatically unbalanced negociation. In this view, minimum wages protect the poorest and most exploitable job seekers from having to accept whatever the employer with full bargaining power is willing to concede. Of course, not everyone subscribe to it and it comes with its own problems too, but it is still an important part of the debate, in my opinion.

You're basically saying that everyone should defect because everyone else does.

So, there are three speeds we need to be concerned with here:

1. Design speed -- this is the speed anticipated and planned for by the engineers who designed the road. It's visible in features like curves, merging areas and so on.

2. Operating speed -- this is the actual speed of traffic on the road once built, and typically is measured as the 85th percentile of observed traffic (i.e., the speed such that 85% of traffic travels at or below that speed).

3. Speed limit -- this is the posted maximum above which vehicles can be stopped and ticketed by an enforcement officer.

In real-world scenarios both the design speed and the operating speed are often higher than the speed limit, because speed limits are often more strongly influenced -- and always downward, when they are influenced in this way -- by factors other than safety (i.e., politics and revenue).

Which is a problem. Good road design anticipates roughly what the operating speed will be, and attempts to match that in the design. Setting a limit which differs significantly from the operating and design speeds is only good for politics ("we're making you safer by slowing down the traffic") and revenue (more tickets issued for speeding); it has no relation to actually-safer roads.

And in general, yes, speed differential is more commonly a danger than simple raw speed; the intuitive explanation is that every event of one vehicle passing another creates an opportunity for a collision, and moving at a speed significantly different from all other traffic (regardless of whether faster or slower) increases the number of passing events which necessarily increases the chance of a collision.

Thus, regardless of posted limits, it is safer to match your speed to that of surrounding traffic. This is not a case of "everyone should defect because everyone else does". It's a case of "the people who posted the speed limit defected, and you shouldn't follow their example".

The safest thing for pedestrians would be to ban all motorized vehicles, then ban all other vehicles, then ban pedestrians from venturing out of their homes on foot.

Good road design accommodates pedestrians when pedestrians will be present (i.e., controlled-access freeways are designed with the assumption that pedestrians will not be present), but speed limits have very little to do with pedestrian safety.

Pedestrian safety is improved by design features of the road, and generally the design is based on the expected 85th-percentile speed of vehicle traffic.
Alphabet's Google, as we say, was operating the car. And corporations are people, my friend.
I'd like to see police start giving tickets for tailgating instead of speeding. Speeding alone is rarely very dangerous, especially on roads with few other cars.

On the other hand, tailgating is always extremely dangerous, even when the speeds involved are relatively low.
If everyone followed the traffic rules instead of considering themselves smarter than traffic engineers

Traffic engineers don't set speed limits. Politicians do. If politicians would stop thinking they're smarter than the engineers, the speed limits would match the design and operating speeds of the roads much more often.
I wonder about non-payout social programs, especially those aimed at children, like Head Start or SNAP (food stamps) in the USA. Will basic income enable recipients to make more efficient choices? Or will recipients squander it, diverting money away from nutrition and child development?
Which cities have you seen those 200 €/month apartments in? When I was studying in Joensuu (a city of ~75k), a 25-30 m^2 apartment there cost around 500-550 €/month (unless you're lucky enough to get one of few student apartments from the city). I'm a bit skeptical that you can get a (non-subsidized) place for 200 € in a city, and having to have a car will bring the cost up anyway if you move to the country (good luck finding work without having to commute to the city).

By definition, the design speed of a segment of road comes from taking into account the entire segment. If a segment contains sharp curves, for example, then the entire segment can be designed around that fact.
Alternatively, they could also share their data in an open way and some device in regular cars could pick it up and use it to assist regular drivers.

I think both scenarios are possible. That data is valuable so maybe Google doesn't share it. Sharing it would create quite a bit of goodwill towards their cars so maybe they will. It's an interesting strategic decision.
[not sure about data protection laws but maybe they can't share it even between Google cars unless the owners opt in]
A simpler explanation for that is that people with cholera do not go to work. I looked up the event and the Wikipedia article on it [0] made mention of a monastery in addition to the brewery that went untouched by the outbreak. Unfortunately I could not find it on the outbreak map [1], nor do I have access to the source material. This is similar to how children outside of the Broad Street area who attended school near Broad Street were not recorded as having died at the school but instead in their homes.

It's a matter of public safety. Holding up a line of cars is likely to result in road rage, or an accident.

It's also very rare for slow drivers to get ticketed.
Is that required by law? FTA '"We've capped the speed of our prototype vehicles at 25 mph for safety reasons," the post explained. "We want them to feel friendly and approachable, rather than zooming scarily through neighborhood streets."'

Sounds like Google's decision to me. Either way, it's not a highway, so that section seems irrelevant. And "in compliance with the law" is quite a broad redirect.
> It's absurd that 24 mph in a 35 zone is considered "too slow"

It's absolutely too slow.

Majority of people drive at or slightly below the speed limit. Driving that far under causes people to start behaving irrationally resulting in lots of lane changes/tailgaiting etc. This can be dangerous when lots of cars are doing it.

I found Facebook to really affect my moods in a distressing manner.

Brilliant! Great work!
Tailgaiting is a vague concept though. One person's idea of tailgaiting is another person's idea of maintaining a safe braking distance.

If you tried to for example leave a car's body length distance in most busy cities you would have car after car aggressively cutting in front of you. This is even more dangerous than the original tailgaiting.

It is how many of us worked in industry before FOSS was a thing.

I disagree. My school had a gym that was "free." It was "free" because it was included in our school fees.

"Going to the gym" and "receiving an education" are different and only tangentially related things; maintaining gym facilities are probably much more costly than maintaining a parking system, even if you include "meter maids."

If the school is able to maintain an entire gym, ripe with an indoor track, basketball court, swimming pool, not to mention the (non-free) classes that go along with it, without charging those who take advantage of such facilities (or, put another way, subsidized BY those who do not take advantage of such facilities), I think the school could do without charging students for parking. Visitors, sure; but students?

And there are plenty, plenty of services that schools offer for "free" because they are included in the tuition, that many students don't "take advantage" of (read: don't need/want).

For me, I'd like to be able to curate the benefits I get from the school. No, I do not want to get free condoms from the health center, but I would like free parking. I do not smoke so I do not need free nicotine patches, but I would like to go to the gym.

Of course this is a life long in my past, but it still irks me how many students are forced to learn how to game the system like this because they have to pay for parking. Perhaps not forced, but sometimes it's just not financially feasible for a zero-income college student to pay $9 a day to park on campus.

To be fair, many of the speed limits are low. Look at street view where the car was pulled over.[1] El Camino Real is a divided boulevard with three lanes in each direction. There are stoplights and dedicated turning lanes. I'm not an aggressive driver, but I've caught myself speeding on that road before. Everything about it makes my mind think, "It's safe to go faster."
