Just like any other country, there are factions in the Iranian government that are unhappy about the rapprochement between US and Iran. They probably profited handsomely from the sanctions (just like Saddam and his sons did in Iraq, years ago). They're unhappy. And they're making these ridiculous provocative gestures to provoke the US.

The last thing that US needs to do is get provoked. Ignoring the idiots is the right course of action. But will the US do that? I doubt it. Because we have our own set of idiots too, who love to play cowboys.

Any round trip to Mars would require making the return fuel on site, correct?

If that's the case then just making a couple of unmanned return flights to test that seems it would take a decade.

A one-way ticket to Mars is certainly doable with current tech but unless we're sending Donald Trump I fail to see how we as a planet could get behind that concept.
Just so I understand: his claim, which doesn't constitute advice of any kind and doesn't ask for any action on the part of the reader, requires substantiation? But your claim, which does have a suggested course of action for the reader, does not require further elucidation?

I do know who you are and I do have respect for your contributions, but my friend, it's seems like you're flaunting a sense of superiority when you issue a drive-by decree. It's only made worse when you choose to take the time you could have spent helping the readers whose opinions you're hoping to sway, and piss it away with grammar/spelling corrections and sarcasm. We routinely call out people in other public forums who give blatant non-answers, don't we?

I thought your comment was helpful. Until you decided that only those who would take it on faith or on fallible googling would be worthy of your help.
I hope so. This sounds suspiciously like a plot point during Claremont's run of Fantastic Four which even had Dr. Doom calling such treatment inhuman and monstrous.

Wow there's a great irony in that you used the NYC Subway system as an example. When there were three different independent companies they competed hard for customer's business, provide punctual service and fare increases were generally flat or at least in line with inflation. Now that the Subway is owned by the city it is a monopoly with large fare increases every two years, increasingly piss poor service, permanent budget problems, shadowy book keeping, and the victim of all kinds of politics and cronyism that were completely unknown when the system existed as private run entities. The NYC Subway is an example of an absurdity that is equivalent to the 42 different POS devices in that picture not a contrast to it.
I'd love to see some screenshots of a modern Delphi application if that's possible?
The problem isn't technical, it's political - nobody gives a shit about the prisoners, and therefore nobody is punishing poor behaviour of the people in charge of prisons. Lowering costs won't do anything other than increase the profit margins of the private prison companies, who will then proceed to figure out ways to cheap out on soylent instead of cheaping out on traditional food.
If the US is capable of tapping into Israeli drones, Iranian drones are probably possible too.

If Iranian drones are really a threat, they can quickly be turned into a non-threat one way or another.

What a terrible article, full of pseudoscience and pseudohistory.

Businesses charging for access to their networks has absolutely nothing to do with the endowment effect. There isn't some sort of "my network is better than yours" ego trip going on just because someone charges you to use their network. Their networks are products; they have infrastructure, maintenance, marketing, advertising. You don't give away your products for free, why should they? And if the expectation was that they should give away their network for free, who would ever care to build the network? Why incur those costs if you can just rely on someone else to build it for you?

Capitalist businesses have totally overcome this problem (despite any possible "my network is better than yours" biases) in many markets, most notable internet infrastructure. You can physically see it in action at Internet Exchange Points, where networks of different sizes and values meet together to exchange access to each other's networks.

My bank lets me use any ATM anywhere in the world without an ATM fee. They do this by refunding any ATM fees that other banks may charge. Why would they do this? Because then they don't have to build and maintain a network of ATMs, and they have happier customers because of it.

The subway example ignores vast swathes of actual history, starting with the very fact that the IND lines didn't exist for 30 years until after the turn of the century. And yes, their networks' tunnels were incompatible between lines, but then again, so are the networks of every other subway of the era, even the ones built by governments. And their demise and eventual merger had nothing to do with market friction, but rather something far less capitalist: government imposed price ceilings. Both companies experienced cost inflation, just like every other company in the US during those years, but neither was allowed to charge more than their Nickel Fare. The companies did what every other company does when they see their margins erode due to price caps: they stopped investing, stopped maintaining, and stopped caring about what their customers thought about it. They couldn't compete with each other on the value of their service, so they accepted their market share and declined together. Once people got fed up with crappy providers for subway service, they decided to go the public option with their own government funded line to bring some competition...which is how the IND line actually came into existence. Unsurprisingly, they also couldn't compete on a Nickel Fare, and all of the companies were forced into merger less than a decade later.

Unfortunately, in this quest to malign capitalism for the merger of three independent subway lines, the author forgets to mention the biggest benefit of that approach: Nobody paid a cent in taxes to build the second largest subway system in the world at the time.

Agree. And there's lots of research to show this:

I have an idea, maybe totally crazy, but what if we forced the communities that sentence someone to bear the entire cost for incarcerating the individuals. This would force those communities to rethink where they are allocating money because they would not be able to afford to imprison so many people.

Basically, lock 'em up and throw away the key wouldn't be an option. On top of that, it might encourage pushing money to the deeper root issues which is fair education opportunities for everyon, and sustainable living situations that allow children to thrive.

Back to this article, no matter how awesome, I don't think VR can out perform real human interaction, but it might actually be better than the current situation.

Edit: agree with the problem that this would punish the very community that needs more help. But, what I want to figure out is, what should be the method to discourage prison and encourage in-community rehabilitation? (Under the assumption that this is both more cost and rehab effective, and less disruptive to already stressed families)
I suppose you could argue that "Schadenfreude" counts as a positive word, for at least one of the parties involved anyway.

I once worked at job where a bug fix or 'feature' could directly result in sales landing a $1M+ deal. I was fortunate in that it was a growing company and my boss recognized what I was doing and promoted me accordingly. Subsequently when growth leveled off, there was no more recognition other than paltry annual bonus/raises. We lost some good people due to that situation.

Chesterton's Fence:

In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.

Must be nice to check out 34 customers at a time though, right?

I kid.

Fragmentation is a huge issue in the retail industry. I've heard of companies that have different payroll staffers for different states, some that have different phones for different states because of fees, etc etc.

It also seems like there might be potential for a POS device that could 'spoof' other devices, to avoid fees and such. Surely it's just sending out certain headers to identify itself, right?

I invested a little in Dry Bulk right after the recession. The reason it's out for the count is a lot of players entered the market on expensive debt at the height of the Recession, taking the long bet that shipping would recover, which it did.

There was a brief glimmer of hope a few years ago when most of these companies refinanced their debt. The P/E ratios for most of these companies are incredibly low, but even still they are a bad investment. The structure of a lot of these companies is odd as well. They are often structured as shell companies wrapped around a private entity that actually employs everyone and does all the work. I'm guessing some companies have some pretty nice, debt financed, salaries for upper management.

Given the glut of shipping supply, and our current, modest recovery, I find BDI's tulmult to be less surprising than the sun rise this morning.

Better to alter the user defaults key SUFeedURL for an app than break its code signature by altering its info.plist file. Sparkle looks at the user defaults first anyway. Aside it's still not bullet proof because an app can override the feed URL programmatically. Another idea is just replacing the Sparkle framework inside an app with the latest version.
It seems very hard to get people involved in a project like that in the current world, there is no common enemy to unite us and even if it's possible most people feel that they won't be a part of it in any meaningful sense. And I doubt that Trickle-down-technology is going to be enough to get people interested.

But who knows, the current world is young and we still don't know the direction it will take, maybe common projects come back in a meaningful way at some point.
Yep and the tired old guard complicit media trying to gin up some drama. Its laughable.
Exactly how do you propose the citizens should be informed and yet keep it secret from the enemies?

Most people in USA (mostly the relatively younger generation) don't have an idea how the real tyrants (e.g. Russian communists, Mao in China etc) oppress their own people. It was because of USA, that the tyrant communism didn't come to harass them. I am not saying US hasn't made mistakes/blunders. But it is orders of magnitude better than Islamists/communists. It is sad these people now criticize US almost unilaterally due to propaganda by so called leftists.

PS: I am NOT an US citizen, but I do envy the ones who are. You have to get some experience of real tyrannical systems to realize this.

While many scientists will grimace at the anthropomorphism in the narrative, you have to ask: why can't we use similar terms as ours to describe the trees' interactions? Who is to say that vocalizing some predetermined sounds is the only way to "talk"?

The issue is that with copyright and patent law the way it is written software is heavily biased towards proprietary development for profit, by restricting what the user can do with the software they run. It is also an issue of users not caring that they are being given the equivalent of a car with a sealed engine compartment. The average consumer can understand why that is bad, even if they themselves would never open up the engine, because it would mean they could not let their local mechanic fix their car, they would have to submit to the manufacturer at whatever price they want to charge because there is no competition anymore.

They just don't correlate that to proprietary software at all, which is understandable because most people cannot internalize concepts related to information transfer, scarcity, transformation, or preservation. They exist in the real world and more easily relate to the physical and ignore the implications of ignorance in all that is not presented to them in that medium.

That still remains a political problem, one with your system of economics. I guess since YC is funding that UBI research it may also be relevant to research alternatives to US IP law that can optimize for productivity and social utility of the results, because we are obviously not close to a maxima right now.

Because anything S. Royal says is pointless. She's notoriously incompetent on every subject she talks about and she doesn't care about being incompetent, since she believes that her irrelevant condescending babble will hide the fact that her knowledge is non-existent. She constantly dodges questions, and in her case, that's not because she is afraid of showing her true intent, that's simply because she has no idea of the answer.

She is as cocky with her associates and staff as she is in public.

She is famous for cancelling projects or orientations she supported in the previous years of months. She is is a minister of ecology who does not do a single thing for ecology, on the opposite she cancels what was launched, and it is not even the kind of cancellation that saves money, but it is the kind of cancellation that costs billions.

If a company proposes her something shiny, useless but shiny, she will promote it if that means she can be in the light. This stuff here will be probably be abandoned after a few months or years, if it ever works in a satisfying way.

In short: Royal is the Queen of bullshit.

You can have both, in my opinion. A huge Mars colonization project would yield tremendous technological spinoffs, not to mention employment for thousands of scientists and engineers, a national sense of purpose, a lot more research spending into disease and immunity (imagine the medical risks of being cooped up in a closed system with 50 other people for months at a time).
How can HN promote capitalism on one hand, and open borders on the other?

Open borders is the classic pre-cursor to a worldwide Tragedy of the Commons. Currently, we have problems keeping public parks clean. Imagine if all of the earth was a shared commons, and no group of people could restrict access to any plot of land. It would be chaos. I can think of no better way to destroy the world than open borders.

Look into tragedy of the commons, and see why this idea will never be feasible due to human nature.
