Sounds similar to Hampshire College in western Massachusetts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampshire_College

The College is widely known for its alternative curriculum, socially liberal politics, focus on portfolios rather than distribution requirements, and reliance on narrative evaluations instead of grades and GPAs. In some fields, it is among the top undergraduate institutions in percentage of graduates who enroll in graduate school. Fifty-six percent of its alumni have at least one graduate degree and it is ranked 30th among all US colleges in the percentage of its graduates who go on to attain a doctorate degree (notably first among history doctorates).

It seems to be Chrome trying to protect you. When I clicked the link (also in Chrome), I noticed a little silver shield show at the right of the address bar (next to the "favorite" star). Clicking that shield shows "this page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources", with an option to "load unsafe scripts" or "learn more".

After I clicked "load unsafe scripts", it reloads the page and I can click the link. I'm assuming my system will explode, shortly.
For people interested in what Paris looked like before it became the Paris we know, I strongly recommend to have a look at Vergue (http://vergue.com), and especially at the work of photographer Charles Marville (http://vergue.com/category/Auteurs/Charles-Marville) who was commissioned to take pictures of streets that were going to be demolished or completely renovated.

Vergue is doing a fantastic job of not only renovating these photographs, but also provides a crazy amount of details for each of them (What were these posters about? What is that tool we see next to the entrance of that café ? etc.)… in French only, sorry :)

I'm pretty sure if you can get your hands on the App/DMG version of Lion, it's possible to create an ISO, or at least a bootable thumbdrive. That's what the Hackintosh folk do.

It only has one ram slot (the other has 4GB soldered in) so you can't use a kit - you need a single 16GB sodimm. Retail prices are around $150 everywhere.

If Lenovo charged an amount substantially similar (or better) than regular retail, then I'd gladly pay them for the upgrades. But at multiples of the retail price it makes no sense.

Not at all.

For example New Hampshire has a murder rate much lower than Serbia, England, or France. It is more on lines with Germany.

Also, everyone collects murder states differently. The US usually publishes states from the FBI, whose logic is basically "there is a dead body and it looks like someone else did it". The UK, on the other hand, has the Home Office publish murder rates in terms of convictions, which necessarily will be less than the number of bodies.

It's none of the cases dragonwriter described, but what seems to be closest to what you're analyzing:

If you have a fixed UBI, paid for with a variable tax that splits the total burden of the UBI across all workers in proportion to their productivity, then you would see dynamics like you describe. This is, indeed, the opposite of a negative feedback loop. Don't do this, either.

If UBI is set high enough that more people drop out of the labor force than we can manage, the (real) UBI must fall by some mechanism.

The article is poorly researched. Napoleon III's motivation was preventing insurrections, not improving health of Parisians or the smell of the streets. Haussman targeted areas favorable to guerrilla action from rooftops, to barricades, and to escape, which often happened to be the oldest in Paris. The new avenues down which a cannon could be fired from one of the city to the other during an insurrection, in a nice bit of unintended consequence, later made the job of the invading Prussians easier. Haussman's plans were opposed by a number of cultural figures, including Baudelaire, who believed the loss of a great number of medieval buildings was unconscionable.
My bad, lesson learned.
Duh. You think a single person at NASA would have reported otherwise had you asked them before the Challenger disaster?

Social pressure can influence people into engaging in wishful thinking. They made a horrible judgment call, and we should remember that that tragedy was authored by them. But if you think you NEVER would have fallen for it... you're not being self aware. There's a pretty decent chance you would have.
Zach's lucky (privileged, even) to have a platform to rant on and a large number of connections to find his next gig. He's unlikely to lose any opportunities as a result of this post.

What about the rest of us, who don't have "star-power" or anywhere near the kind of platform that Zach has? If you're just Joe (or Jane)-average programmer, yes, startup interviewing is fucked. Doubly so if you don't live in SF or SV.
I would love to know how they could possibly be a shock hazard. I have a piles of these (for travel) and they are solidly build and almost only plastic.

I only used Parse for one small project a few years ago. At the time their scheduled tasks feature was new and I found it hilarious that there was a bug that mixed up hours and days in the scheduler. That is when the scheduled tasks actually ran at all.

TypeScript is looked upon very highly by everyone at MS and I haven't seen any new projects started with vanilla JS in the last few years. No one needs to encourage anyone to use it. It's just the obvious choice for large projects (and every project at MS is large).

This is planned obsolescence, when the cables break like this the chargers normally simply stop working. And that cable doesn't carry 110VAC so it's safe to assume even if you touch it you can't really get hurt.

Good overview. I think one thing that gets left out is how do you handle systemic sustainability: ie "if everyone quit their jobs and went on BI, there would be no one working to pay taxes to pay for the BI expenses".

This could just be solved by having a total BI payout pegged at a fixed % of overall tax revenues. As more people earn less and pay less taxes, BI payouts also decrease as they are split among more people so the burden on the remaining taxpayers doesn't overwhelm them.

Then we could adjust that % every year (or not) based on actual conditions, how generous / prosperous / stingy we as a society are feeling, plus it gives a mechanism by which automation productivity gains can get rolled back into a BI program to (warning: utopian thinking ahead) eventually fund fewer workers overall, plus workers who work fewer hours, but we still have economic/automation gains rolled (via ongoing taxation) back into the BI support.

This basically shores up the "moral hazard" counterargument to BI proposals (which is the first thing that comes up for me after the "how do you pay for it" thing Max solved).

Given that Jonathan Blow is in charge of the project, it's almost certainly because existing engines were inadequate for the task.

From what I can tell, Rust is the most ambitious Unity project out there. The Witness is substantially more technically ambitious than Rust. Additionally -from what I read on the Rust devblogs-, the Rust guys spend a large amount of time working around Unity's limitations, missing features, and parts of Unity that are just buggy. (Granted, the buggy stuff generally eventually gets fixed, but until it gets fixed (if it ever does), you have to work around it.)
Not sure I follow. You can use Typescript on the server already with Node.js. The CLR isn't available in the browser.
One of the troubles with this kind of reasoning is it kind of assumes peoples behaviour will remain much the same so someone on a $50k salary will keep at it but maybe with some basic income added and some tax removed and similarly for someone on welfare.

And maybe that will be roughly true initially but people change their behaviour and maybe the guy who would have done the $50k job if you give him say $300/week no strings attached will say hey, why slave away when I can go to Bali and surf and smoke joints.

We had something like that when I was a kid - the somewhat socialist UK government brought in generous untested welfare and some people used it to hit the beach in Spain and then the remaining workers paying the bills objected.

The work of Walter Burley Griffin in laying out the Australian capital city of Canberra deserves a mention...certainly a 20th century effort...

I backpacked Australia for 6 months back in 1985 and saw his work first-hand...though I'm in no way an urban planner, or civil engineer I had no trouble appreciating the influence of his methodology and planning...beautiful layout...

If I'm reading this right, their array resizing was linear rather than geometric -- definitely a radical difference from the usual implementations! That is, each time they called realloc, they added a constant amount of capacity instead of doing the usual thing, which is multiplying it by some constant (e.g. doubling it). Consider what happens in the most naive implementation, where realloc calls malloc+memcpy+free, taking time proportional to the size of the buffer to be copied: appending n times to such an array would take O(n^2) time, rather than O(n) as you'd get from a linked list or from an array that grows geometrically.

Of course they can get away with it on most systems, because most memory allocators don't have that kind of naive implementation. They may do a geometric growth policy automatically; they may switch to grabbing memory from the OS's virtual memory system for allocations above a certain size; they can do all sorts of things that have the convenient side-effect of making the constant-growth algorithm here more efficient. But it shouldn't come as any great surprise that things can get weird on some systems with different memory management, when they've taken such an unusual approach to their array resizing.
Don't listen to me—I don't know anything about good API design. (That's not sarcasm or modesty, but the simple truth.) However, if the self-diagnosed biggest mistake of Tim Berners-Lee's life was to add a single extra character to a commonly typed string, then surely one has to consider that the addition of two extra characters could eventually also be judged a mistake?

I guess the time spent ( a year ? ) on the Go version didn't help feature wise. The product didn't evolve that much in the meantime.

I hope you provide a solution for cloud code and webhooks , webhooks at least , since cloud code is just javascript. Please be sure to host the documentation somewhere, like github pages.

Good luck for your next project. I'd love to read a "post-mortem" once the service is definitely closed.
Writing a public letter to a business (of which you are not a customer) as if your problems are theirs to fix, is one of the most textbook example of "exaggerated sense of one's own importance" that I could possibly imagine. Those people were, and are, clearly not very important to Github at all.
Separating (1) children (2) people with disabilities (3) retirees and (4) other adults, is I would say an upper bound on complexity.

The PwD piece falls more under healthcare (which I think should probably just be universal), so if their health-related benefits can be separated out, they would just get the standard basic income.

Retirees only need special consideration for political reasons, since social security may exceed basic income, but it could also be separated out into a supplemental amount to make basic income more universal. Ultimately they could converge to avoid special treatment.

And whether children get the same amount as adults is an open question among BI advocates; I don't have a preference either way and believe it should be studied empirically.
Wrong! Everything we build is on top of layers upon layers and not a single company/IT team has/can fully control all of them! So you suggest: build your own backend API and run it on a VPS/Container/whatever. Do you have full control on the hardware? The virtual machines? The vendor's infrastructure? Let's move a layer up. Do you have full control over the framework you used? The database engine? Does the sum of knowledge/experience in your team guarantees full control on all these layers? Under a security threat who provides the patches? Your team? Do you run your own mail server? Did you code our own OS?

This is rethorical of course, all the answers are no.

What exactly is wrong about trusting one more layer to 'experts'?

Not all dev teams can afford a backend ninja just as they cannot afford a network admin or a telecom engineer. Companies like Parse are on the right track, they provide a much needed service.

I've been on this trade long enough to witness the transition of companies hosting webservers in-house to realizing a dedicated server made more sense (one team of experts managing many machines), then VPS, then containers....then BAAS.
I was writing from the point of view of someone who finds Unix abbreviations perfectly acceptable (as compared to my comically abrogated SmallTalk / Objective-C (I don't even know which) invocation above (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10990803), which I'd say is clearly not acceptable). Certainly, my argument will not be convincing to someone who doesn't share that point of view.
That gem sounds like a union member asking his representative about overreaching power of management for a purpose not traditionally thought of as why cops need cams, so...checks out to me.

This Is Bhutan's Secret to Happiness: What I Found
Pegging BI to tax revenue or GDP seems like a good idea to me, though I'd prefer to start with something revenue-neutral like I lay out. As it eliminates welfare cliffs, it seems self-evident that it would not reduce employment. Many other studies on cash transfers have found that they don't reduce work incentives, except for specific populations like new mothers and teenagers, but more evidence with slowly-rolled-out programs would help address this.

Speaking of utopia, what I'd really prefer is for BI to be funded as 100% of land value tax and pollution/carbon taxes. But that could be for another article. Even if nobody's working and everything's automated, we'll still need natural resources to house people and build things, so this would be sustainable.

The effects of welfare on Australian aborigines are pretty sad too. A good proportion of the young sit around drinking all day. The aboriginal elders hate it but ironically it seems to continue because it could be considered racist to treat the aboriginals differently from laid off office workers in Sydney for welfare purposes.
The grandfather of my best friend from high school had the privilege of having Feynman as one of his seminar instructors whilst at Cornell. In fact, he remembered the famous lecture described in "Surely You're Joking" where Feynman showed up to teach after getting a black eye in a bar fight the preceding weekend.

According to his account, Feynman walked into the lecture hall, turned to face the crowd (at which point, his black eye was noticeable), and asked "So... any questions?"

I was very excited by this because I have a MacBook Air charger that is very badly frayed at the laptop end and I don't want to spend AU$129 on replacing something that is breaking because Apple sucks at making cables. Unfortunately, I have a three prong charger that isn't being recalled, so I guess I'll just have to apply some more gaffer tape.
I think this is a really good point I haven't heard in the discussion before. I would imagine that simply changing the name from "welfare" to something that implies motivation would make a difference.

Imagine: You're 18 years old and your Dad gives you $500. He says, "You don't make any money and have to rely on me. Here is your spending money" or "You'll be making a lot of money (value) later on in life, this will help you kickstart it."

Au contraire: it opens a wider deeper well. Parse customers are now up for grabs. Do you think they will go back to program back-ends and rent a server? I personally won't.

It looks like it is only the international adapter part. Everyone complains about Apple's strain relief, but a lot of engineering went into making that as good as it is (which is less than average). It is hard to make robust stuff look sleek and well designed. Some companies err on the side of robust. Apple goes the other way.
