The conclusion of the original post isn't wrong though, despite the exact details being out of date by (a scant) 5 years.

I have a hard time believing that HSIC is the entire extent of interconnection, with the processors being on the same die and all. Are you asserting that the baseband and application processors use completely independent rams and flashes? Independent memories seem more expensive (price+power) than a single shared bank with MMU, but since the storage requirements of the baseband are known at design time then perhaps not terribly.

If they aren't independent memories, then the term DMA actually still applies even if the interconnect protocol is not based on it. Mobile literature is quite inaccessible (another symptom), but everything I've seen refers to having an MMU as the advancement. I have a hard time believing that would be controlled by the application processor (leaving the baseband vulnerable), but please correct me with specifics if this is wrong.

As a rock climber, I can tell you that mental and physical fatigue are very distinct, very real things. But I'd have to say that before I got into climbing, I wouldn't have realized this.

There are times when you are physically capable of completing a climb, but your mental tiredness prohibits you from doing so. The very nature of climbing is scary, and your brain knows this. It's not just fear of heights, but fear of falling, and even failing. Every move you make is a little fatigue on your mind. You have to calculate it out, make the move, and beat all your fears at the same time.

Over the course of a climbing session, your mind wears down. You may be physically able to complete a climb, but your mind is just giving up. The stress overwhelms you. You give up.

There is another non-rock-climbing example. In Arnold's bodybuilding book, he talks about the mental aspect of bodybuilding. Not just in competition, but also in training. He gave an example of some famous bodybuilder who was having a bad day. He couldn't do some deadlifts (I think) that he was totally capable of doing, even with Arnie cheering him on. The guy was about to give up. Then a bunch of his fans showed up, and he wasn't about to disappoint them. He completed his set with ease.
I don't think the article properly conveys who is really going to use this. Nobody's going to get a single cup of coffee with a $6 delivery fee.

But, have you guys worked in coffee shops? Every day, there's at least a handful of people who come in to order 20 coffees, or (more commonly) a few big containers of coffee for a meeting. Having a delivery service means the admin assistant doesn't need to take 30 minutes to pick up an order and bring it back. Essentially, this is just lite breakfast catering.

You are missing the fact that being poor does not just effect the current generation. The stress induced by living on low income lowers the prospects of the children of these families. Which in turn effects the prospects of the children of the children. The effects of stress are pronounced and greatly effect both quality of life and productivity. Universal income seeks to reduce this stress and give eryone a fairer shot at life. If you think living on benefits is easy you should try it for a couple of months.
You're pulling a rhetorical trick with the definition of the word "coercion". Coercion usually means forcing someone to do something without giving them the option to be left alone. That kind of coercion is widely agreed to be bad, so the term "coercion" has a strong negative connotation. Paying test subjects to take experimental drugs is not coercion in that sense, and it's not widely agreed to be bad. You're trying to make it sound bad by expanding the definition of coercion to cover it, but you haven't provided a justification for why this kind of "coercion" should be considered bad--except that it kind of resembles "coercion" in the usual sense.

Unfortunately, this kind of rhetorical trick is pretty effective. My options for responding are to either argue with you about what the word "coercion" means (which is a meaningless argument) or to claim that "some kinds of coercion are OK" (which sounds really bad taken out of context). But even though it's an effective argument, it doesn't contribute to the conversation; people who already agree with you will think it sounds convincing, but people who don't agree won't be convinced. Would you consider elaborating on your argument by explaining why you think that paying patients to participate in drug trials has the same negative features as "coercion" in the usual sense?
Should home ownership really be the goal?

I've been spending some time recently thinking about alternative options to the rent/buy dichotomy.

Buying a house is in this weird category of quasi-investment that is difficult to offset. In no other market do we encourage consumers to take on debt when making an investment in a commodity. Most consumers are not able to hedge this risk so fluctuations in the housing market can wipe people out and ruin lives.

Renting a house is a whole different problem. The rental market can be very discriminatory, especially against people with poor credit. The friction and lack of information in the rental market prevents many renters from being able price in more than a couple of variables (usually just location and size). The upside of this is that there if little incentive to make certain types of improvements (especially improvements that decrease the utility costs)

It seems that there should be a better way to deal with housing that protects individuals against the risk of mortgages and property bubbles while still aligning the interests of home-owner and home-user.
Why wouldn't inflation swell up to soak up the UBI? If I'm a landlord in a poor(er) area of town, charging $500/mo for an apartment, and UBI is $1000/mo, then why shouldn't I raise my rent to, say $1000/mo because my tenants now have extra money? (Ignore rent-control for now).

> I disagree. Humans tend to create new market segments in response to this problem.

You can disagree if you like, but you're relying on the past to make your presumption that humans will just create more markets; the future of automation isn't like the past, future automation will include AI and is already doing so. AI changes the game, the future is not like the past, humans won't just do something else. Labor based economies must end at some point, there simply won't be enough demand for labor to keep an economy going.

> Do you seriously think automation means less human labor is needed?

If you don't, you're not paying attention to the world.

> Automation means less labor is needed to produce certain kinds of goods. We can always find things for people to do.

Absolutely wrong; the automation that is coming will leave little for people to do as it'll always be cheaper to have a machine do it and an intelligent machine will be able to do anything a human can. All goods, all services, not just "certain kinds" will be done by machines; your doctor will be a machine, your housekeeper, masseuse, waitress, all of them, robots.

The idea that there's always going to be some way to sell your own labor is antiquated and wrong; basic income is meant as a solution to the collapse of labor markets that is coming from our continued increases in production via automation, and it is coming, and no, there won't be some other job you can do... machines will do all the jobs. Humans will leisure or find other means to feel productive but goods and services will not be distributed by means of a labor based economy.

The labor based economies of the world are on their deathbeds; we're currently calling this structural unemployment due to globalization, it's all the same problem, the future isn't based on human labor or labor based economies.

> The passive aggressive nature of the post needed to be pointed out.

It has been, several times, but each in a much better way than the comment I was responding to did.
Consumers like it because they don't see the cost of it because it's baked into the price of goods and services.

There's also chargeback and consumer protection services, which currently there is little market for. You just rely on Visa. With Bitcoin, there is opportunity for a market of escrow and resolution services.

Right now, Visa works better, full stop. As Bitcoin improves, however, that could certainly change.

Top 7 Mistakes Developer Makes While Developing a Website
For the record, I don't know who they are - I've seen them linked once before but I have no ties nor love for San Francisco and their work is very localized. So I don't particularly doubt their work but I literally just picked the top post on their front page. If they are doing phenomenal work, I'm not impressed :)

And seeing as my previous post is predictably getting instant downvoted, I should also state that I really don't care about PCness one way or another. What I do see is that "fixing government" apparently includes policing how people talk to each other in an extremely passive-aggressive way that would not be tolerated in any community I moderate or, really, have ever been a part of. All that in the name of improving workplace communications, which this simply does not achieve.

The US had this from the 1935 to 1996 - a broad welfare program. During the first Great Depression, the US was the employer of last resort, with the WPA hiring millions of people to do public works. During WWII, there was a labor shortage, and that ended. After the war, large public housing projects were built. There were people who spent much of their lives on welfare.

Until the Reagan years, there were very few homeless people. But there were a lot of people who were just warehoused in public housing for their whole lives. Most of them black. That didn't work.[1] The UK did something similar, "the dole", until the 1980s under Thatcher. That, too, produced a large non-working population.

We have a productive enough society to pay for welfare. But it generates a huge, useless, and troublesome underclass.

There's some kind of selection bias there already. I'm not saying those people were not creative, passionate, hard-working to begin with. But many have ended up in that situation after going through things that tend to, well, crush you, for lack of a better word.

One question I have about BI is if it replaces other forms of social welfare (food stamps, unemployment, etc...), what happens when some percentage of people inevitably make decisions and still cannot afford the basics of what BI should cover?

One of the things we would want to automate is incident handling the workflow includes things like sending SMS when the accident happens (plus email messages), connecting to a remote service to obtain accident details, up to a point of creating a summary with all the details from different system that would preferably go to some Confluence page. We handle it with JIRA currently with workflows + custom workflow functions + webhooks but it becomes harder and harder to maintain.
That's just one of the many relevant things that government officials do not consider when deciding to increase their budgets for operating schools.

It is a side effect of electing politicians that were never taught to consider the potential consequences of their own actions from the perspective of someone else who may be affected by them. To them, taxes magically appear from happy munchkins who sing about how great it is to pool their resources for the common good, and the only worry is about how to get the politicians from the evil other party to go along with spending the money to do something useful and good this time.

Since public schools rarely teach that there is no such thing as a free lunch, those who are fully schooled are still incompletely educated. I recall being taught in high school that Keynesian macroeconomics were superior to classical macroeconomics, and left without an inkling that Chicago or Austrian macroeconomics even existed.

Who would have thought that a government-funded school might teach me that deficit spending is good for the economy? I wonder if that teacher was paid out of the pocket of someone who didn't want higher taxes, or if he was paid out of the state's credit account?

But that's beside the point. In the transition from a worker-based to a robot-based economy, unskilled labor no longer has any role. Everyone has to, at minimum, be able to design, build, program, repair, or maintain the robots. If you can't train everyone up to the minimum requirements for the jobs that will exist, or remove their absolute need to have a job, you are abandoning them to lives of crime or rent-seeking. Whether you choose to spend the money on education, basic income, or hordes of useless middlemen or criminals, you just can't redesign an economy such that the lifeblood never manages to flow through any of the capillaries. Poor people not only have to eat, but they also have to feel like their lives have meaning.

I'd say no, but I'm a layman. I think the situation you describe is "just" an interaction between different systems which, together, make the whole open macrosystem which is your body. If I can push myself to go even further, I'm probably triggering something in my nervous system (via a high-level cognitive process - motivating myself, thinking "positive") which will in turn signal other systems which can then provide energy or stimulation to go on.

Indeed. There's a fight for control of devices. Unfortunately the antonym of "secure" on the internet isn't "open" but "exploited"; the average consumer really is worse off if their computer is loaded with malware or a victim of cryptolocker.

So you have no idea who they are (they're a technology skunkworks within the GSA [1], which manages and supports the basic functioning of federal agencies of the US Federal Government) and you're commenting on their internal communications policy because you take issue with it?

Why would you even waste the time making an uneducated comment then?

You even make the comment that their work is localized to SF, when they have offices across the country in support of their work!

You'd want to look at state budgets too, since a lot of social programs happen there. Basic income is supposed to replace social security, unemployment, food stamps, and more. That's not a huge change to the number, but it's decent.

There's no doubt taxes would need to increase to fund such a program, of course.
This is actually a very important chapter in human development. And it will pass in the blink of an eye. Works like these are good, important.
Oh right, of course. Inflation means that the value of currency becomes less valuable. Just a brain fart on my part. Thanks!

I like the idea of monthly HN office hours. However, Ive been to a YC office hour previously, and one of the most important aspects was the back and forth dialog. I question the effectiveness of the format.

For example, after hearing a response it seemed the follow up questions were more important than the inital engagment. Is there room for dialog or is it more just a Q&A?

Also, I would recommend keeping a list of all office hours as to avoid repeat questions (Although many answers are crafted to the situation).
"I saw another article about this plan that said people often _don't_ try to contribute because their welfare benefits are subject to them not doing certain things."

A good point.

But basic income is generally sold as an arts and hobby thing, where they're not going to make any money anyhow. Basic income participants who are going to take the money but not do a "real job" aren't going to go out and dig ditches or something.

Since this isn't a binary thing, we should expect to be able to find an effect if this is going to happen, even if disability isn't evenly distributed and even if certain categories are impaired due to welfare rules. Who's on disability making art or music or something who would otherwise be stuck in a job? Alternatively, show me a work of art or something from the cases of basic income that were tried that couldn't have been done without it.

(We'd really like to see a sufficiently strong pattern before we run this sort of experiment at scale, and we'd really like it to be somehow some appreciated work, but I'll start with asking just for one instance.)

If doing a little of this sort of thing does not produce a little of the desired result at this scale, there is no rational reason to believe that doing more is going to produce the desired result either. (Italicized words very important. It could indeed be the case that doing more would in fact produce the desired result, but there's no data to lead you to that belief rationally.) The rational belief becomes to discard the idea that basic income is going to be used for arts and music and stuff, because we can stop speculating about what people do under those circumstances and just look.

Because if basic income really is paying people to do nothing, it won't work at scale. We can't afford to pay everybody to do nothing. The economics would simply adjust such that the basic income is not a livable wage anymore via inflation mechanisms. (Which is basically one of my great fears; basic income combined with voting creates a one-way ratchet, and so far, I've heard no mechanism to even slow down the ratchet, let alone reverse it.)
A Need-To-Know on Micron’s Hybrid Memory Cube Technology
No, we did not. Again, that welfare program is very different from the basic income described here in many ways. Those differences are crucial to understanding the benefits of a basic income in comparison to the broad welfare program you reference.

One such difference being that everyone in a society gets the basic income with no strings attached meaning that there is no perverse incentive not to work. With a basic income people are free to work and gain additional income on top of the basic income and to do so for whatever motivations best inspire them free from the fear of starving.

It is technically possible, but expensive; SLA batteries are basically a giant brick of lead with sulfuric acid inside. This is easy to recycle just by chemical separation.

Li-Ion isn't so much a battery chemistry as a family of chemistries, and the lithium, while valuable, makes up a small fraction of the battery.

There's two recommendations here for "Expert C Programming".

I read it cover to cover fairly recently; I don't think there was really anything I disagreed with, but there also wasn't anything I didn't already know and wasn't already practicing. While I've been programming C a while now, that surprised me. I've decided that the book isn't bad but is probably more "help get you from beginner to intermediate" than "help get you from intermediate to expert", much less something of use to an expert (sadly, in my position).

An alternative interpretation would have it that there is just not enough to say about C that an expert-level book is likely to say things a C expert would not already know. That would argue against your point about the complexity of C. As I say, though, this has not been my conclusion.
