The vast majority of Muslims are good people due to good parenting. I guess the good parents 'did not force' the deranged radical elements of the surrounding culture on the children.
Most victims of such sick cultures acquire it helplessly: some parent figure forced it on them in the guise of something - maybe tradition, maybe religion.

This question definitely captures more of the nuance that I felt was naggingly lacking in the original post. It's easy to justify firing someone in very black and white terms, but it's a lot harder to take such an employee and turn them into a valuable member of the team again, even though that might be the best outcome. Not saying it can always be done -- I've seen managers try for too long and fail, but I've also seen managers start making cuts at the first sign of trouble.
The author doesn't even mention the easy way to make unique email addresses feed into your main email on the most common free email site there is.
Anything you could either do manually or write a bash/python/javascript/php/whatever script for, or use a SaaS.

It can be anything, like scraping some site and exporting the data as csv, getting raw text from pdf, doc files etc.

Do you use something like this, or do something that can be automated this way? Just give some examples that first come to mind.
Most light manufacturing remains human-operated, though - I'm thinking the 200-person widget factories in Shenzhen or 50-person tailoring shops in Vietnam. They don't typically make a small range of products on a mass scale, but many slightly varied products on a small scale, with an irregular schedule of orders. My guess is the electronics factories, car factories and the like, found machines were a worthy investment to improve precision and quality control. For many industries, a semi-skilled human at developing country wages is a better deal than a robot.

Even lower-middle class professions like teaching, nursing, policing, office admin, etc are much less routine than people realise. (Tech is obsessed with the idea of, e.g., replacing teachers with e-learning software, but what usually happens is that the teachers end up using the e-learning software as another tool to do their job).

Vehicle automation is one large area I can genuinely see becoming automated (possibly the success in this area is because the AI doesn't need to manipulate the environment, just navigate through it). There are still many blue collar jobs which are really hard to automate - cleaning, gardening, building maintenance, etc, etc.

(Honestly, I see the most likely outcome being that first world countries develop a grey-market, third-world economy, where low-income people work cash-in-hand, below-minimum-wage jobs running cheap food stalls, cleaning laundry, or offering other convenience services on the cheap. It's not as utopian as everyone getting a basic income and using their unlimited free time to paint watercolours, but it works out as a more robust social safety net).
I came here to say this.
> In that light, I have a question for you: What other concurrency features does Rust offer over C++ outside of data race freedom guarantees?

I would say that the biggest win of Rust, once you get past the data race freedom, is that Rust's overall design puts the CSP model front and center like Erlang and Go do, while C++ is built on mutexes, locks, and futures. The way to get started with concurrent programming in Rust is thread::spawn, Sender, and Receiver, which will take you far. But C++ doesn't even have channels in the standard library; it encourages you to dive headfirst into shared memory, which makes simple concurrency needlessly difficult.

Rust doesn't restrict you from using shared memory when you need to (and verifies that it's safe when you do). But Rust's libraries and ecosystem encourage you to design your apps in shared-nothing fashion first, and only to introduce memory sharing when you need it for performance. That's a much friendlier way to deal with concurrency than mutexes, locks, and futures.
If you don't follow the RFC then people will email you from gmail saying "I tried to send you mail from my company's mail server and it didn't work", other people will submit a github issue to your project saying they couldn't email you, and when you try to subscribe to one of djb's mailing lists you'll get a response from your mail server saying it couldn't deliver the message.

That is what actually happened when I tried it.

The very definition of the word "terrorism". Terrorists want to spread fear of terrorists and make us change our lives, abandon our freedoms.

And when I look at the "security" which has creeped into all our lives... mass surveillance, the TSA, anti-"money laundering" laws, free-range racists running up and down through our countries spreading anti-Muslim hate... we are tearing down our foundations of society because we are afraid of... what exactly?
It's frightening to think of the tens of thousands (or more) of suspects treated in this way in the eras before bodycams. Only the rarest cases (e.g. Rodney King) were documented in any way.

JavaScript Fatigue? Or something more?
I would. I'd love to be able to load a specific theme/framework/css and have html/css written up for me. I don't mind the under-the-hood programming, and I even like designing, but writing up HTML/refreshing/css-ing/refreshing to match my design goals is really frustrating for me. The worst of coding, while simultaneously taking the joy out of the creative nature of design.
Interesting question: should Linux enable non-debug enclaves at all as long as this policy remains in place?
Unfashionable? Maybe in the sense that tshirts and jeans are unfashionable, but are worn daily by most of the people who make our technological civilization possible.
"Why are we arguing about whether it happens? Because you didn't report it."

On what do you base that assertion? (Actually, I didn't need to report most of the problems I ran into. They were already reported, but not fixed, when I came upon them. But, I've been an open source developer for 20+ years. I report shit.)
This is only supposition, but I believe that the vast majority of idle programming discussion on the Internet is non-professional.

If you go to a site like StackOverflow, that is related to getting actual work done... the questions for Java, .NET, C++, and PHP absolutely dwarf those for Ruby, Python, and other fashionable dynamic languages (JavaScript being a notable exception). If you look at the number of GitHub repos by language, you find a similar pattern.

However, you go to sites like Hacker News and others that are more about idle discussion, and it's hard to find people who will even admit to working with non-sexy industry standard languages. If you didn't know better, you would get the impression that there are more Nim and Forth programmers in the world than PHP ones.

I believe that is because most such discussion comes either from students, who haven't started a career yet, or from professionals who enjoy discussing the "side" languages that they learn in their personal time (yet are not using professionally).

I don't mean this in a negative way. I myself wrote OBSESSIVELY about Scala for years, even though my actual day jobs had me writing vanilla Java. But online discussion does create a bit of a "reality distortion field", that confuses young people just starting out. The #haskell channel on FreeNode is the most popular programming channel in all of IRC... yet the entire world's population of non-academic professional Haskell developers could hold a conference at the airport Holiday Inn. Rust is a fascinating language to learn and dabble with, but almost none of us will ever have a job working with it professionally. Etc.

People get "bored" and "move on" from these languages not due to economics, but due to lack of economics. They are playing with them for fun, not because they're getting paid to do professional work with them. Hence the constant search for newer shiny things.
Of course, now that increasingly more work is being done on the client side, or by communicating with microservices, Rust makes more sense for a pure API backend. There's a lot less ecosystem needed there; mostly just bindings to whatever database you need to talk to, possibly some other stuff.

So if you're just going to be exposing a RESTful API backend for a JavaScript based frontend, or even for a Rails app frontend to talk to, Rust makes a lot more sense.

Also, the only way an ecosystem gets bootstrapped up is by people scratching their own itches. By starting to write web services in Rust now, and implementing those things that aren't yet implemented, you can help to bootstrap it up. Of course, that only works if you have the extra time to spare to do so, but for those things that only need one or two extra things that don't yet exist, it may pay off due to the lower chances of having to debug runtime errors, less time and complexity spent trying to make it scale out, etc.
Not just anything repetitive, but anything rule based. Accountants are very likely to get automated away, as are many lawyers.

I have no children, but I want to have an educated population.

When you take my tax dollars and give them to parents as vouchers, you reduce or eliminate my democratic right to influence how we educate the next generation.

Why should only the children and parents have a say in that process?

I'm not saying an elected school board provides perfect oversight, as the iPad debacle shows, but at least it has more public oversight than washing our hands of the problem and delegating all responsibility and economic power to the parents.

Also, there are any number of college students who use their money to go to schools with "proprietary learning materials, large classrooms, large facilities, large administrative offices, and large campuses", so no reason to believe that things will be different for primary and secondary schools.

And there is plenty of evidence to believe that parents are attracted by schools which advertise "smart classrooms", and tout (incorrectlu, IMO) how they use computers to teach more effectively than a teacher does.

That is a lot of money actually. I think if this happens, Swiss house prices would go up and people would go on 6-month holidays to foreign countries where the cost of living is lower - That's what I would do; though for me it would be a 'working holiday'.

What would that do to the Swiss tax system if people left Switzerland and started paying most of their tax in other countries?

That said, I like the idea of basic income. I just think that the laws around it should be designed very carefully.

The chin just helps people choke you better. You cant slip out of their grip as easy. Also a big chin is bad for fighting. The easiest way to knock someone out I to hit them on the chin. It makes the head turn and the brain bounce against the skull. The more the chin sticks out the easier it is to hit and the more the head turns.
An about page about who you are would be a good start. Additionally, what country your from would be of interest. Most importantly would be your incentives for doing this project. If it's money, how to you plan to monetize? Do you plan to sell your users data? etc.

Trust is critical. Almost all of us Linux users run at least a few prepackaged binaries on our systems. But they come from trustworthy sources such as big companies like Github. These proprietary binaries are usually vetted by security researchers as well to detect any malicious behaviour.

Additionally, I'd recommend posting SHA checksums and offering a more traditional "Download" button as an alternative to the one-liner.

TLDR: You're asking people to take a risk on a new project, without any indiciation of who's behind it or why they should trust you.
If you assume that automation begets more automation exponentially, then the end game of automation is the elimination of all jobs. Assuming this, the question is when, not if. So either we keep inventing fake work faster than we invent automation, or we decouple the idea of work from the idea of being human and let people do what they truly want to do.
I think this is not the most important point. The most important is this:

> [...] you are actually holding back everyone else at the expense of this person.
Learn that everyone has value. No one is as exceptional as they think.

The guy coding a little slower but who customer success always talks to about problems. Great, he’s enabling communication between teams.

The girl who cleans up behind the “flash” programmer whose prototypes are awesome but doesn’t quite finish.[1] Great, she’s creating production code to be maintained by a team.

The list goes on. People provide value in ways that are not always apparent. I think Peopleware talks a bit about this although I may be mistaken, about the one team member who didn’t seem to fill a role but made everyone happy.[2] If the team wins everyone wins (hopefully in a good org).

The most exceptional teams have people filling roles. Every role is important and provides value. It’s why teams with a ton of exceptional people often implode, because they are all exceptional at only one thing and no one is filling the other roles. So all the members may appear exceptional, but the team is weak. It's a value systems problem.

I've looked at this for all of three minutes, but it appears that it's basically an Angular version of Masonry with a dash of flexbox.

Masonry is something I'd love to implement in pure CSS, but it's not really possible. You need to know the heights and then be able to position your grid items absolutely, it's not something that can be done dynamically without using JavaScript.

You can use CSS3 Columns, but then your content is going to be displayed in a counter-intuitive order. It works great for a photo grid or Pinterest-style site, but most cases require some kind of intuitive display order. I am especially thinking of e-commerce, where it's imperative to offer the end-user the ability to sort products alphabetically, and search results in terms of relevance or whatever.

I was wondering how you would test web apps written in rust. In particular the api you're building. Right now as my first rust project I'm trying to implement an HTTP protocol with hyper but I'm not really sure how to test it properly next to just creating a client connection and throwing requests at it. Btw my final idea is to have it as a library that gives you a handler to use with what ever rust framework you choose to use. Not really sure how to do that though, I'm using a lot of hyper stuff.

Yes, without robotic construction to build cheaply underground, that is an expensive proposition. But the alternatives have a lot of costs too, many of which are borne by those who don't reap the benefits.

There is no amount in the vote. What people will vote on is to add the following article to the constitution:

Art. 110a Unconditional basic income

1. The Confederation shall ensure the establishment of an unconditional basic income.

2. The basic income should allow the entire population to lead a dignified life and to participate in public life.

3. The law particularly regulates the financing and the amount of the basic income.

The parliament and the senate recommend to vote against this.

The government would then have to implement this.
> ...failures like Theranos...

I thought Theranos was still operating.

They shut down the draw center in PA, but they still have a lab running and draw centers in AZ aren't they?

It seems like the Wall Street Journal is writing a piece about a small adjustment by Theranos because of the understandably bad optics for their partner in PA.

Theranos is trying to innovate in a space where you cannot even ask how much a service costs.

Personally, I would go to Theranos if they just ran all the same tests as everyone else because they post their prices.

Searches on http://www.sunriselab.com/ and http://questdiagnostics.com/home.html show no prices at all.

Yes, Theranos was supposed to be based on a new technology (which may still work out in the long run), but just being customer focused would be disruptive in this industry.

Not to mention the fact that they're probably installing their own root certs on the endpoints and then just MITM'ing everything with their own certs.
It's already happening. All those "server and tape monkeys" that were getting middle class salaries at large corporations are finding themselves downsized as companies move to more XaaS platforms for their mission critical apps, and the rise of AWS/Azure.

It's the tip of the iceberg at this point (in my opinion). Not to mention, as people move to AWS, what happens to all of the sales reps, sales engineers, implementation engineers, support staff, etc. at all of the major hardware manufacturers? Those jobs just go away...
At least until TLS 1.3.
Good luck on getting a common method together. This kind of integration has always been a problem. This is one of the things that Java tried to overcome with the use of beans and jars. But even now a large application can have a hundred jars attached to it.
Yeah, I'm surprised you can hear them over the general din of the city.
The solution is to mandate explicit maximum noise levels and pollution emissions and budget for random, mandatory testing with large financial penalties for noncompliance. This, in turn, will greatly increase costs to the tour operators in order to comply. If it's still a viable business for tour operators when they have to internalize the costs, then the show goes on and tourists pay for the luxury. If not, the problem solves itself.
While I trust the NSA about as far as I could throw the Puzzle Palace, I think you're overstating. Part of their brief, however obscured by their reprehensible behavior of late, is to help defend US-based economic interests against foreign intelligence, governmental or private.
