Like I said above, discount all of my comments if you'd like, that was your goal in the first place.

It's an indicator that I didn't keep a list, and that, as I said, I don't want a phone to be such an important part of my conscious experience that I could do so. I doubt any list I gave you would actually lend credibility here, as your position seems to be to discredit vs discuss.

Not really, no. Trust is established through a set of conditions two or more parties agrees establishes authenticity. You've just made demands, I'm pretty sure.

Neither of these products is "policing your peers in the name of some batshit security claims." Apple, Google and Microsoft have published ground rules for playing in their playground. You said above that you don't want to play in Apple's.

So don't play in Apple's. That's totally cool. I just got sick of playing in Google's. It's counter to your message to attempt to force someone else's compliance with your set of values, isn't it?
I don't need to nor, personally, want to. However, the people already there have a right to be there, especially those born in London, who grew up there, who have families, jobs, community involvement etc.
I really appreciate the effort Microsoft puts into documentation and reference materials. I think this is what sets them apart from everyone else.
With governments you get to decide the makeup and leader of the gang.

Thats... quite a fundamental difference.
My 2 cents re Ampache - it's pretty cool but doesn't play all media types, where as Kodi (XBMC) plays more media types and has a couple of great Android clients (that play locally).. I did get localplay up and running on Ampache but it's less flexible than Kodi Android clients.
I did not know. I guess they could, then. :/
Theoretically that may be right. But the goal isn't just to make the math work. Its also to make the most good for the most people. And as automation proceeds, making fake jobs for people is not helping them. You'd have one guy spreading trash, and another picking it up.
You're probably talking about the Swisscom offering, which is roughly comparable to what at&t might offer. Fiber7 sells 1 Gbps lines for around CHF 65.- per month, without the obligation to also get a TV subscription and more nonsense.

This 'elusive' property is the idea that taxes are an indirect method of funding the police (as it is re-proportioned via much bureaucracy), while seizures directly fund the policeman's wallet.

Obviously the latter is much more dangerous, because there's a self-reinforcing cycle where the police spend their entire time stealing, instead of doing their government-defined jobs.

Indirection is important. It allows someone to give you goals that are productive, otherwise you would just steal from your employer instead of working for them (so they would give you money).
The circulatory systems of different creatures would be neat to see. Frogs have a weird, sponge-like heart, for example, and plenty of little critters have their entire bodies filled with "blood."
It really depends on what you are buying.

Are you buying a car that is guaranteed to never be in or cause any form of car-accidents.

Or are you buying a car that will try to it's best to get you from point A to point B.

In an accident with the first example the there is a manufacturing flaw, the car did not meet it's specs.

In an accident with the second example you fucked up, you should not have given the control away and it is your fault. The car did nothing wrong it did what you told it to do.
Within a specific form of government when it is properly running within a system with minimal corruption, you get to decide the makeup and leader of the government... in theory.

In practice, the average person has no say over who is ruling them.
Interesting to read another YC article from top page - http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/nov/12/beattyville-k...

Some opinions there describe welfare as evil thing, removing any motivation for people to even try to get a better life. maybe not applicable for Finland, but interesting nevertheless as coming for 1st-world country (although they describe themselves as 3rd-world one).

Let's not forget that for every hard-working individual there is X slackers looking how to get as much out of system with as little effort as possible, by any means necessary. I fail to see how BI would motivate those people to get better, and contribute to our society.

Hopefully in this case, road to hell isn't paved with good intentions as usually...
> Scala has so many complex features

I think operator overloading and implicit conversions are the biggest problem.

You look at Scala code and first don't get anything because it's full of library specific symbols.

Then these implicit conversions mangle your objects behind your back and you don't even know what's happening at run time.

I like the ideas behind these features, but as a beginner, they always scared me away after looking into "production code" :\
10 Pretty Google Web Font Experiments
Those languages which print 0.30000000000000004 are doing something which is silly as a default: they are printing 17 decimal digits, out of a type that only supports 15.

$ txr -p '(+ .1 .2)'
0.3

Why is that? Here, the underlying type is the C double type. The printed representation is obtained according to a default precision. That default is taken from the C constant DBL_DIG. For an IEE754 double, that constant is 15.

It is misleading to print more decimal digits out of a double than DBL_DIG; that is the constant which tells you how many decimal digits of precision double can reliably store. Thus I chose that constant as the default printing precision for floats: to give the programmer/user the maximum realistic precision. That is to say, print the decimal digits which are plausibly there, and not any fictional ones.

17 decimal digits requires a 57 bit mantissa -- ceil(log 10 / log 2) * 17). The 64 bit double type has only 52. So if you print 17, you're "making shit up".

Distribution of violence makes the differences: taxes are applied to the majority and there's an established and predictable pattern for this way of wealth transfer from the populace to the government, while stop seizures apply to a very small group but in a much more impactful (for that group) way in an unpredictable manner.
From taxes, which although complex, are still well publicized and listed and it's easy to know how much you need to pay and when. You also (generally) pay these based on your income level.

That's completely different from have arbitrary amounts of cash confiscated from you at arbitrary times.
Well, I know from doing payment gateway integration that many of them use integers for currency amounts. They are the smallest currency unit and for display you then convert based on the currency specific precision value.
This is a pretty interesting point that i haven't though much about before.

I suppose one problem with confiscation vs. taxation involves incentives. Taxation incentivizes governments to create healthy economies to increase revenue whereas confiscation incentivizes police forces to violate property rights arbitrarily.

Another problem at present is there is much less oversight of confiscation than of taxation and maybe confiscation is less predictable than taxation.
Cable is certainly cheaper in the Netherlands, but not fiber.

In Utrecht, Online.nl is ~$54 for 50mbps fiber.

Fiber.nl is ~$44 euro for 50mbps fiber.

Per https://www.internetten.nl and online.nl

$70 for 1gbps rather beats that by a drastic margin. Many cities in the US are seeing gigabit consumer fiber deployments at that price range.

My impression is that this "permanent recidence" stuff is justified with Finnish constitution.

It states that everyone how can't earn enough money to live on it, has right to wellfare. This "everyone" is basis for recidence based wellfare. How it's not basis for enormous levels of development aid beats me.
I don't get this. Why does the language it's written in make it "not native"?

Firefox is pretty "native", yet practically all of the UI is powered by JS.

Hell some of the built in programs in windows 10 are using html/js/css and if you are going to argue that the built-in "part of the OS" programs aren't native, then what is?

If you can see performance issues or problems with how it works then point those out, don't just blanket knock an entire application because you don't like the languages it uses.
I'm all for a UBI but I'm very skeptical of the feasibility of implementing one based on the dollar or any paper based monetary system that is not an actual standard and scientific measure of resources, and none of them are to my knowledge.

An efficient UBI would be implemented using a computer based mathematical measurement system.

We've already got a surplus of food, water, and shelter to take care of all humanity, we just haven't figured out how to measure and distribute it properly.

Technologies such as machine vision and video/image recognition could keep a real time measurement of the global resource stockpile. Feed that into an open source distributed ledger for all to see, and then distribute it based on a demand algorithm using solar powered drones for maximum efficiency.
I think you're responding to an anti-government troll who is being deliberately obtuse about the difference between civil asset forfeiture vs tax collection. Unfortunately statements like theirs muddy the waters between something that most sane people find acceptable (government tax collection) vs something that most sane people find abhorrent once they know about it.
I find it very difficult to describe that as an "excellent" system...

A GOOD system is the one which helps hard workers to lift themselves from being poor in any meaningful way (less bureaucracy, more help with kids, less taxes, more subsidies etc.) rather than one that prevents an easy improvement. What OP described ain't that good, unless your primary goal is to have nice low stats for unemployment.

A firearm manufacturer can be liable if the FIREARM violates the law after it left the manufacturer.
In which case the car finds out a problem in the design of the road that needs to be fixed.
Actually it seems very similar to the example you provided.

A similar scenario would be if a firearms manufacturer designed a semi-automatic rifle (one trigger pull = 1 shot fired) that easily could be modified to be an automatic rifle (one trigger pull = multiple shots fired). Former is legal, the latter is not. If such a firearm starting becoming a favorite of criminals because of this feature, a vast majority of gun enthusiasts would have no problem with BATF requiring the manufacturer to put safeguards in place (there are perhaps a small sliver of extremists that might object, but nowhere near the degree to which an equal-but-oppositely extreme sliver of gun control advocates would have you believe).

The FCC is really just saying that if you make a device that you want to get certified, and it is physically capable of transmitting outside of the parameters for which it is being certified, it wants to know what steps you are putting in place to ensure that the it can't easily be modified to do that.

And to answer your question - yes, people are already modifying consumer routers to use outside of Part 15... for example http://www.broadband-hamnet.org/ ... those are licensed operators of course but anyone could do this, licensed or not.
Note that unconventional symbols are very rare in the standard library. Third-party libraries, especially those made by the scaskell community, are where the problem lies. If one uses scalaz one gets what one deserves.

You can do this today, in various statically typed languages[1] (perhaps dynamic languages as well, though the composition will likely be more ad hoc).

I truly don't understand this article, or the comments on it:

Jerks step on, belittle or otherwise sabotage their academic colleagues. The most common method is by criticising their opinions in public, at a conference or in a seminar and by trash talking them in private.

Criticizing their opinions in public? How is this being a "jerk"? This is what academia is supposed to be all about - you publish, others criticize, you repair or you accept that you were wrong. That's how we approach truth. Trash talking in private might be jerky behavior, though given the prior statement the author might just mean "I think XXX's theory is incorrect because of [reason]" rather than "XXX has sex with goats, plagiarizes his students and forges all his data".

Most theories are just wrong. The point of academia is not to be a polite mutual admiration society providing easy and stable work for people who loved college, it's to get closer to truth.

The comments provide better examples of jerky behavior. For example, a female professor called the "IR Hulk" was privately supportive of someone's work, but then she publicly ambushed them with criticisms she presumably did not share in private.

I also don't even know what to make of comments like this: Academia in general is very hostile to forms of communalization and cooperation and champions the rational individual (read: male)... The issue of favoring those who provide valid rational criticism is "indeed feminist one"? Can someone steelman this for me?

Would you be therefore fine with it if a local police department decided it's underfunded and went confiscating money in the neighborhood according to a pre-published plan and taking into account one's income level?

You probably need progressive tax system to fund a basic income; they aren't alternatives to eachother. Sure, if you can afford a sufficient BI, you can probably do without the minimum wage, though.
I have to echo the first commentator. I lived a pedestrian lifestyle ^_^ (plus subway) in the Boston area for a dozen years ending in 1991, and the style of a little extra eye contact along with a general smile went a long way there. But evidently that's not universally applicable.

There's a flip side to your argument. If I'm doing a job for close to 0/hr then if the job becomes crap or my manager is abusive then there is nothing keeping me there.

This means that in the overall collective environment jobs that are undesirable (garbage collecting is the normal example) will actually pay more than something like being an political intern. But people could do both of these jobs and still have money for housing/food/etc.

That's not the top rate. The top rate is a bit over 60 % of gross amount.

43 % is the proportion of tax revenue paid by the top decile.
(10 % of taxpayers pays 43 % of revenue.)
I think the question is legitimate. Why are sane people okay with having their property rights violated by taxation but not by confiscation?
Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I don't get it, which is why I'm asking here: Why is this "stop-and-seize" not considered unconstitutional? Has it just not been challenged that far yet, or is there a legal rationale that I have not heard yet?
> something that most sane people find abhorrent once they know about it

Does it mean the lawmakers and higher-ups in the executive branch are not sane people?
Accounting systems I've worked with do most of their logic in a RDBM and store monetary types using a 'decimal' type.
It's new and pointless at this point for individuals.

Very few places will be able to stream anything to them at 10GbE. Most regular harddrives have a bandwidth substantially below that - it takes an expensive RAID or high end SSD to feed a single user at that speed....

For an apartment complex, though, it might be useful to take 10GbE link...

Even on the business side - I run racks of servers handling dozens of clients running booking services for several hundred restaurants, and we're using tens of Mbps including really excessive amounts of regular disaster recovery syncs and backups between our two data centres.. Some companies will benefit, but most won't get anywhere near...

I think this is more of the case that it doesn't cost them that more to offer to set things up for 10GbE, since these users will mostly be limited by upstream servers that won't send them traffic enough so their bandwidth usage won't go up nearly as much as it theoretically could, so it's part a long term view, part a competitive move to make 1Gbps or less from competitors seem too little or too expensive for what you get.
In a common labour market like the EU, the sensible thing would be to introduce Basic Income in the entire EU. Having completely different economic systems in a union that lets people cherry pick their favourite element from each country, is not going to work. That has nothing to with BI, and everything with needing some degree of homogeneity in a system like that.

The mismatch between forced homogeneity in some areas (like currency) and not in others (fiscal policy) is what contributed to the Greek debt crisis.

For people with disabilities, you can add an additional income on top to reflect their additional costs. And as far as I'm concerned, if they do manage to get a job, even temporarily, they keep the extra income.

I used to know a buy who was seriously spastic. Easily 100% disabled. Nobody would ever expect him to work. But inside that spastic, uncontrollable body, he was actually very smart and good with computers, and he got a job as programmer with an employer willing to accommodate for him. Then the department he worked got downsized, and all his coworkers got unemployment, but he didn't, because he was disabled. So he registered for regular disability pay, but didn't get it because that was for people who got disabled during their working life, and his was a birth condition. There was a separate kind of disability pay for that, which he also didn't quality for, because that's for people who couldn't work at all, and he'd clearly worked.

With BI, that wouldn't have been a problem.

Agreed, look at it this way - most people don't earn minimum, but more. They will still work to keep their standards (paying rents, mortgages, cars, kids, lifestyle they are used to etc.). Employers are not dumb, they will reflect this immediately.

A healthy society should always motivate people to WORK and produce products/services, that's what keeps society running. If main goal of BI is to remove that motivation, I fail to see it as a step in right direction.
The problem with Explorer is that it is showing lowest prices which somebody found some hours or even days ago, and most of these cached prices are gone when you are trying to validate them but sometimes you could get lucky ;)

>>> extremely quirky programming language from the 70's (or whenever)

Because it doesn't have to be shinny and all, it just works. There are no widely used alternatives, so we can say that people are happy-enough using it. See the situation with JS. CoffeeScript and all, it's quite popular. Is there an analogy (in terms of functionality and popularity) in SQL? Nope. No one bothered to do it well enough, or not enough people found that it's worth enough to learn it.

We don't need to reinvent something every few years just because new JS frameworks come out and others are forgotten every few months.
I'm just outside of this range as I graduated with a BS in CS back in 2004, but learned about it when I took a computer architecture class in 2002, and I still enjoy seeing examples of it in real life.
That's a good point. Taxation is protection racket while stop-and-seize is armed robbery.
Once automation actually replaces all the jobs lets rethink things. At that point a BI will be so cheap to provide that few people will have any objection. (Similarly, a 1900-level BI is already very easy to provide.)

We aren't close to that point yet.
