Look at real GDP growth from Chile and Cuba over the past 50 years. Chile is far outpacing Cuba. I bet adding venezuela would also be illuminating.

This is no surprise to anyone in the UK. We have the highest fares in Europe[1]. Although you can buy tickets in advance at certain off-peak times for less, it's not always practical or convenient.

The problem is that peak fares can rise to astronomical levels if they are unregulated (i.e. can be freely set by the train operator).

An example: a 2 hour train journey from London to Manchester (approx 200 miles/321 km) one-way booked for a peak-time slot a week in advance can cost as much as £166 (approx €217 / $235), which is frankly ludicrous.

Consider this:

- Squarespace doesn't support SSL (other than on their ecommerce checkout pages) [1]

- Weebly only allows it on their $25/mo business plan [2]

- Wordpress.com doesn't support SSL for sites with custom domains [3]

- If you've never experienced the process of requesting, purchasing, and then installing an SSL certificate using a hosting control panel like Plesk or cPanel, let me tell you–it's a nightmare.

All that to say, this is an interesting development that will leave a large % of small business websites with a red mark in their browser.

These are pretty small amounts. I suspecdt they make more money on the overdraft fees, which puts it in the "not merely lazy or incompetent, but evil" category for me. Payday loan companies are the worst offenders in this category, I'd love to see an "uber" for that.

I am working on an app in this area which I envision as a free app available for anyone, and especially those on food assistance programs. Because these programs are administered on a state-by-state basis, the "onboarding process" for people joining these programs is non-uniform, but I envision the case-workers or government employees who are enrolling people in these programs can also let them know about the app and assist people in downloading and installing it. I am currently developing it on weekend free-time.

The app will offer recipes geared towards cheap, healthy and delicious food. I am interested in encouraging better nutrition, budget economy, and assistive technology to people who may not have much in the way of experience or skill in selecting groceries, meal planning, or nutrition.

Starting February 1st, I will be living off the amount offered by US food assistance, which comes out to $6.25 a day at max. I am interested to see if I can do this, and I intend to "bootstrap" from "nothing: I am planning to use a portion of my food budget for the purchase of cooking implements and utensils. I have spent January buying various provisions so I can get a better gauge on what I will realistically be able to accomplish and when. For instance, the first week I will purchase staples like rice and fruits and vegetables, along with olive oil and butter and salt and pepper. Some provisions will span multiple weekly budgets while others will require weekly replenishment, like fresh fruits and vegetables or meat.

My father had to go on food assistance for half a year, a few years back, so this is an issue that is near and dear to me. He is fairly educated and already owned a fully provisioned kitchen but there are many people who may not and could use some help.

I plan to "show HN" when it's complete.

Libraries in particular can get help from the Library Freedom Project to set up HTTPS. Some librarians have come to appreciate its importance in protecting information about what library resources (like books) patrons are interested in, for library web sites that allow people to do catalogue searches online, for example.

https://libraryfreedomproject.org/ourwork/digitalprivacypled...

(It's true that that's not the original poster's exact example, which hypothesized a static site that just tells you the library's schedule. But I think library catalogues are a super-great example where information is completely public -- it's not secret what the library has in its collection -- but information about users' interest in that information is private and sensitive, and the people providing the information strongly agree with that concern when they stop to think about it; librarians care very much about not revealing who is interested in which books.)

So the thing is, there really are only Asian pros. (Having said that, here is a list[1] of Western pros). It's only in the last few years that the American Go Association could start certifying[2] Go players as pro. And to the best of my knowledge the European Go Association still does not have this power. Go, amazing game though it is, was relatively unknown outside CJK (China, Japan, Korea) until post-WW2. But globalisation has meant that the rest of the world is finally hearing about this beautiful game. So it migrates to the US via Japan (it's called iGo^ in Japan, which is why it is called Go in the West) and to Europe via Russia and the US. The US is a bit in advance of Europe but not by a huge amount. Arguably Eastern Europe is stronger than Western, as in Chess.

So basically Fan Hui[3] is 2p Chinese rank which makes him pretty solidly 2p. He's the three time European champion which should give you an idea of the strength of players in Europe. The top European players like	Alexander Dinerchtein who is roughly the same strength as Fan Hui has an official 3p rank, Korean I believe. So Fan Hui is some ways off the top 9p players in CJK but he was convincingly beaten by AlphaGo so I'd be hesitant to try to infer its rank from this one performance …

Years ago (10ish) I read an article (that I've tried to find a few times since, but failed) by a researcher that tried to find the studies that said antioxidants were good for you. He traced stories and articles back to... nothing. I think the first mention he found was in a popular magazine and it had no data or research to back it up.

I really wish I could find that article again. I remember being fascinated by it.

buying a certificate and changing it yourself.
So it costs minimum price a certificate, and at least one person competent enough.

And competence in terms of spending is way more than the certificate.

Outsourcing security without knowledge is praying for being abused.

So sometimes you are better in terms of costs and efficiency without.

And HTTPS cost more for rural users because you cannot cache SSL contents.

So in africa, alaska, yukon, peta ouchnok people with small providers have to pay a tax.

And it increases also the 95th percentile.

So basically everybody except google will pay for this but it will impact more the poorest content provider & users.

I would say nothing is required to exists. Just take the idea that our universe may be a simulation, then nothing in the universe is real. It could then be that the real universe out there is similar to ours or we could be the Game of Life of the real universe which could be totally incomprehensible to us with concepts that aren't even imaginable in our little world. Or take Last Thursdayism, the idea that the universe somehow came into existence last Thursday with fake memories of the past in our all heads and so on. Or Solipsism. There is no way you could ever find out that something like that was true or not.

We just have to make some assumptions about the nature of the universe and accept them as axioms, otherwise you can not even start to draw conclusions. Some assumptions may look more reasonable then others but I guess that is more or less an illusion, last Thursdayism looks only unreasonable because you have already rejected the idea and accepted some other assumptions.

So what is real? Particles? Fields? Wave functions? We pretty surly don't know. Some will say the fields are the real things because they give us virtual particles and that matches experiments, others will say that fields are not real because they have gauge symmetries - gauge redundancies - and how can something that is underdefined be real? It seems certainly possible that we will be able to rule one or another view out in the future because they can not accommodate some new discovery but we are probably not yet there and there is definitely no consensus.

Not to forget that there are quite a couple of new directions in the last years and decades, like space and time emerging from entanglement, the holographic principle, gravity as an entropic force and what not. There is probably a good chance that some or all our fundamental concepts of physics as of today will not survive the next century, millennium or million years. I mean they will still exist as useful approximations but no longer been seen as fundamental.
Thank you. I think it is important to understand that the technocratic egalitarianism advocated nowadays in Silicon Valley circles is a poor rehash of Marxist notions. While communism is a political, revolutionary movement, Marxism and Hegelianism were the philosophical underpinnings of that movement.
@sama

I strongly believe that money is not the variable that has to change in the equation. I'd change the minimum amount of hours required to qualify for a full-time job (e.g. 40h / week).

Most of us aren't %100 productive from 8am to 5pm. Meaning, employers wouldn't really see much difference. If you reduce a 40hour week to a 20hour week, maintaining the same salary for each employee, people would have more free time. More time to do something awesome, etc. While maintaining the same level of income. That's what we should be aiming for and it wouldn't require a dramatic change in our society.

My 2 cents.
Walking barefoot without resting is clearly the cheapest option.
Of course. But you were also talking in nominal (not inflation adjusted) returns when you said that 20 years of growth in Social Security income could fund a basic income.

You can inflation adjust neither or both sides of the equation but not just one which is what you were doing.

I wouldn't say that either Theranos or Clinkle have changed the world.

I would say that Apple, Google, EBay, Uber, Android, and Twitter have, but Steve Wozniak, Larry Page, Pierre Omidyar, Garrett Camp, Andy Rubin, and Evan Williams are far from charismatic.

This is more an example of "You can fool some of the people all the time or all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time." Charisma can help fool a critical mass of people early on, but once you try to expand to a product all the people use all the time, you'll fall flat on your face. Build something useful and then you don't have to fool anyone.

When my wife and I were travelling around europe a few years ago we decided to fly back into manchester instead of london, thinking it would be great to catch a game (of anything) and then head back to finish the trip.

Was a complete surprise that we ended up paying about 160 pounds each, and coming from using australian dollars was a complete kick in the face.

Horrible way to end a great trip

(For comparison, an equivalent train trip today in australia would have cost us about 50 pounds for the two of us)
Of course if uber has to raise rates because their employee costs go up, you'd have to expect cab companies to do the same because all their employees aren't getting benefits either.
Not only is it a poor rehash, it is incredibly insulting to the current Have Nots. It is very much a "I got mine, FUCK YOU." position. Perhaps, at best, a means to assuage their guilt for their imagined crime of being wealthy.

BI could have an impact because it could relieve the pressure on job centers (SF, NYC, LA, etc...) as people wouldn't be forced to move to look for work (and I imagine plenty of folks would leave those areas as well, because they are no longer as dependent on their job as they once were). At least in the US, there are a ton of midwest and rustbelt towns that have really cheap cost of living and plenty of land, but due to lack of jobs, are in really poor shape. BI could allow for people to relocate there, and the new influx of people (and income) could lead to revitalization.
It's the same train - split tickets.

I don't think that's what they're proposing at all. And if you want me to believe it, you're going to have to do more than claim it's true.

What, specifically, do you see in either the idea of basic income or in "technocratic egalitarianism" that is inherently Marxist (as opposed to being merely superficially similar in some respects)?

Well, if Lines work out in Lyft's favor, it could in theory make money (or lose money) even at 0% take rate. But of course, not all driver are getting 0% so it is viable.

Having the browser be able to track and tell me that "Though we aren't sure this is actually google.com, we do know that the exact same cert has been used the last 50 times you visited this website" is something I'd consider to be useful. (Actually, telling me if it changes would be the useful bit).

That would be at least be useful for self-signed certs (though those aren't really needed in light of Let's Encrypt...)
