Basic Income is designed to replace welfare benefits, and get rid the many adverse effects that a complicated welfare system creates. Therefore it should benefit from the same type of protection. It's not complicated, many countries have this system in place already: welfare benefits cannot be financial collaterals and they are not seizable.
I enjoy Launchpad precisely because it routes around this brain-damage† abstracts away application-location. It used to be a useless extra way to view the same apps to me, but after organizing it a bit (mainly moving some utilities I use often out of the pre-made Utilities folder, and grouping a few other things in) and taking a few lesser-used things off of my Dock, it really does feel like the way programs should be launched. Pinch-together to get the picker, swipe (or type) to find a program, click it. It's slowly taking over from my previous "Cmd+Space to open Spotlight, type first two characters of program name, press Enter" habit.

† ...which was never a real requirement anyway. Unlike Windows' Program Files, Mac applications (both before and after the transition to being NeXTStep bundles) are meant to just live wherever you want them to live. There were some really interesting application locations in the past—putting a Font Manager in your Fonts folder, for example. And you've always been meant to be able to keep programs that'll have a short lifespan directly on the Desktop, without that making a mess of anything.

As a former NLP engineer and former wikiHow engineer, I have some perspective on this. Google has included more and more information from Wikipedia. Furthermore, Google includes snippets of external websites in the knowledge box on more and more pages.

How long will be until can algorithmically generate its own Wikipedia articles? Wikipedia relies upon coming to its site for contributions and donations. Without search, Wikipedia risks being subsumed by Google. They have a difficult position of thinking about the future without pissing off Google.

Computers are getting more and more powerful. Wikipedia needs to do stay relevant. I think this is the right decision.

Thanks for that. I'm fairly certain I've received benefit from folks who took the time to do what you describe when it would have been so much easier to turn away.
It's inspiring to be able to start something from anywhere and in any situation, but I would reconsider how easy is to follow up with that and how much time you have to put in.

I disagree. Most people don’t want to hear the truth and will take anything they don’t want to hear as a personal attack against them.

I’ve seen it time and time again.. and then pushed out on social media to make the person that said it look like the bad guy...and since it’s usually one person against another, it’s impossible to defend.

This is why when the technology gets cheap enough, I will have a secret body cam on me at all times.

The agreements were variously related to active recruiting (don't cold-call employees of X), passive recruiting (don't hire employees of X), and active retribution for exploring career options (if you at company Y learn of any employees of X seeking jobs at Y, notify management at X).

speaking for my sample size of 1, definitely not. Their are too many levels of indirection in our dealings with each other online to actually find with any accuracy people interested in the same groups/patterns of things as you.
The internet has made it easier to me to find specific interests or cohorts because of how we tend to organise by 'watering hole' but beyond that, to me it's worse for gauging your counterpart interests beyond your immediate reason for interaction.
Right now the render speed is good, but could be better.

One strategy that seems to work for this project has been to load in large, JSON objects using web workers while the first page is loading. This will allow the page to load and not disrupt the view rendering.

From there, I can use the large JSON objects to build the nested routes. I will use one view and link to it but add parameters to filter out the data. Ng-if has been making the rendering way way way faster going this route.

On a slow connection, two things that slows down the entire app is AJAX calls and rendering images. That is why I have tried to pull in the large JSON objects upfront so that the initial load might take an extra half second, but the rest of the app navigation is speedy.

SEO is my biggest concern, but for now, I am thinking I can use older links and do a 301 redirect to the needed resource. The only issue that I foresee is that I cannot do a server-side render; I was thinking of just routing bots to a non-ajax site so we can still get good SEO but it's while before I will get to this part.
You could do real time sentiment analysis on what someone is saying and it it is negative open a new input area for an explanation of their anger, greater than 500 chars (and validated as well as possible for realistic word structure), so the person would have to think through their anger, and possibly change their opinion or push it through with its attendant explanation as a expandable area on the message.

Actually I thought it might add value to the discussion by making the comparison. We're mostly computer engineers here, after all. But never mind.
That's pretty much the route I'm taking, save for the non-technical part.

I'm writing a SaaS for biomedical data analysis, while completing a graduate degree in Experimental Medicine. I don't anticipate graduating any time soon, but I see it as an opportunity to develop the foundation of a start-up while supporting myself.

It's sort of a way to avoid having to go the fundraising route (at least for now), and can potentially allow me to onboard large clients without even talking to VCs.

I was happy to find that PG wrote about this sort of thing (albeit fairely indirectly):

"Another way to fund a startup is to get a job. The best sort of job is a consulting project in which you can build whatever software you wanted to sell as a startup. Then you can gradually transform yourself from a consulting company into a product company, and have your clients pay your development expenses."

And, as someone who lives in the Northeast (where it was -20 F on Saturday night) and travels a lot, reliability absolutely trumps features no matter how cool.

Part of the growing interest in BI is the likelihood/possibility that increasing amounts of menial jobs will be replaced by robots/computers. If the amount of work available/necessary for a well-function society is massively lower than the population, then some alternatives to the current system/expectations need to start to be considered. BI is one such alternative.

The guest columnist presenting the case that the STEM shortage is a myth is:

Mark Thies is a Professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Clemson. His research areas include advanced materials, biofuels, and renewable biopolymers.

I didn't read his article as "complaining" and that is a very high bar distinguishing low and high quality engineers you have if he fails to clear it. I thought it substantive citing supporting data and studies for his premise.

That's awful. More evidence that gender stereotypes need changing.
This. OP described his duties as 12 hour shifts. This guy was a fobbit. Now there are fobbits who work their ass off and do great, important work. I loved them. I was one once. None of them describe their work as a 12-hour shift. OP also quickly put his service in the context of marking time until his commitment was complete. "Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in!"

Thanks for your service. And a sincere !Congratulations! on your success. But the title is link-bait which exploits the experience of those who had it much tougher than you. Stay in your lane.
But didn't you just say, "If from the get-go you assume people are acting in bad faith and you demand that they admit that this is the case before you even consider them as reasonable people, you are asking for full surrender instead of treating them as equals"? Isn't failing to do this precisely the source of the outrage? And yet now you seem to be suggesting it was perfectly reasonable for people to assume bad faith and try to tear him down, up until good faith was proven.
And I assure you that employers, in a perfectly rational quest to maximize profits, will make every attempt to reduce that option by flooding the employment market with, for example, an excess of STEM workers and thereby oblige you to stay on under worsening or at least flat wage conditions.
Ah, you are correct. The term I was actually looking for is moral hazard.

The reason why banks require evidence of ability to repay the loan is because, without them, there would be a huge incentive for borrowers to take loans without paying them back. This is where the adverse selection comes in - the information asymmetry results from the borrowers knowing what their intent for the loan is and the incentive to mislead the lender. This leads to lenders being more wary (and implementing requirements) when issuing loans.
The quarter system is pretty non-optimal, I think. The college I went to ran on ten-week quarters, and even though it was normal to only take three courses, when each of those three is trying to jam an entire semester's worth of material into ten weeks, it's hard to even keep up with a surface level coverage of the material, much less dive deeply into it. It was pretty standard to have about 500 pages worth of assigned reading, plus extra research and writing, studying for exams, writing and debugging code. Fortunately, I was not an engineer or a hard-science major, so I didn't have the additional overhead of weekly lab work. When people took organic chemistry, it was a running joke that they were going on the "campus foreign-study program", since you'd see them about as often as you'd see friends that had gone off to Argentina or France for the term.
An interesting thing to look into might be using the (apparently Kepler) NVENC capabilities present on EC2 G2 instances.

For $2.60 an hour, you get 4x Kepler GPUs that can handle ~4x realtime 1080p encodes each (120fps per GPU), or 16x realtime 1080p encodes total (480fps). To convert this into rather odd units, that works out to ~1.37Tpix/$ (1920x1080 x 480fps x 3600s / $2.6). Put this on reserved instances and that number is pushed up to ~2.2Tpix/$.

According to [1], ffmpeg + x264 performance on the most cost effective instances (c3.xlarge) was 20s for a 30s, 960x540 video, or roughly 0.5Mpix at 45fps. That's 83Gpix for $0.21, or 0.399Tpix/$ at spot prices or 0.672Tpix/$ at reserved prices.

Depending on how much you care about your compression quality (NVENC isn't quite as good as x264 veryslow but it's definitely usable, particularly with its "two pass" preset), it might be worth a good look at the GPU encoders.

It's not a small subset, it's the most popular subset that .NET developers use LINQ for everyday as identified by C#'s 101 LINQ Examples and compares them against the equivalent code in Kotlin. The C# examples does use the LINQ SQL-like DSL whereas other languages get by with a more readable and less indirection version using functional API's available on collections. It's up to the developer which they prefer however the LINQ DSL is no more powerful than regular function chaining with lambdas.

LINQ also allows capturing Expression Trees however that's only useful for developers creating LINQ providers or where they need to capture and rewrite/reproject the expression. None of these examples are in the published LINQ 101 examples as they're usefulness is limited to a small niche of use-cases.
In my experience (on the employer side), you will terminated for performance, terminated at will, or at worst terminated for insubordination, but not terminated "for cause". Terminated for cause is very serious and generally means a serious breach of some sort: embezzlement, harassment, breach of contract, etc.

Termination of any of the other sorts is much less serious, usually results in severance and unemployment eligibility, and if you're coming from a place that mistreats its workers, it's generally not a hard story to sell that you stood up for yourself and got whacked for it. Other employers know the jackass employers by reputation, at least in the local area.
"... it changes in tone depending on it's angle to the sun ... the effect works ... even when the sun is below the horizon."

This sounds like magic. Have you observed this effect yourself and do you have an explanation for it or a reference to one?
Your assumption is not necessarily true.

A single job posting can remain active indefinitely and does not necessarily represent just one open position.

This leads to the situation where an outsider sees one 'job posting' and thousands of applicants while Tech Co sees a shortage because only a few of those applicants are qualified.

Also, there is an incentive mis-match between people who realize there is a shortage and people wanting to prove that a shortage exists. If as a 'high quality engineer' you realize you are a scarce resource, and that makes you a lot of $, why would you want to convince other people to acquire the skills you have – self inflicted devaluation?

This is why the people with the loudest voices on this issue are CEOs and VCs who were previously high quality engineers. They have a clear view, the data, and the monetary incentive to vocalize it – more high quality engineers will increase their $.
I like Kotlin, but I prefer Xtend. I find it to have even less verbosity and more expressiveness, and it uses the same Java types. I'm using Eclipse with it for now, but I prefer Android Studio. Congrats on the release!

>Who really has a schedule that is predictable enough that a thermostat can learn and predict it?

Actually a lot of people probably do (though I certainly don't either). But a simple programmable thermostat will handle at least the 80% case. I use one and I just bump up the temperature on the weekdays when I'm home and set it to a constant lower temperature when I'm going to be away for a few days. It's really not a big deal.

Yes I agree with everything you've said here. I was probably a bit to simplistic with my analogy. Most of the pitches we've had are from companies wanting to sell us their BI solution.

I think your company's 'bespoke' approach is the best method. Ideally I think you'd get the best value by embedding 'experts' in the organisation not sure how possible that is.
Could you link to what you're referring to so I can understand better? I think we are talking about different things. The tax credit would go to the employer, not the individual. Based on your statement, i think you are talking about the UK version of the EITC?

> Compilers are sexy, but they're very much a solved problem

No they're not, and won't be for long (ever?). However it does not matter because they are "good enough".

Compilers are driven by heuristics which provide "reasonable" results in most cases for common architectures. But they still leave a lot on the table. Compiler writers have to trade compile-time with execution-time.
Now we're not talking about an order of magnitude, but rather ~20%-30% in some workloads. When it matters (I guess for people like Google/Facebook/Amazon/... it translates in electricity bill and a number of racks to add to the datacenter) people may have to get down to the assembly level for a very small (and hot) part of the program.

Don't be too sad, not everyone follows these customs. Like most marketing and customs, there will be those who are convinced and follow and those who are not and don't.

Ultimately, it's still up to the couple and there are many who simply buy what they like regardless of what tradition or marketing tells them to.

The title should probably read "Doing a Side Project Website in 45 Minutes per Day While Deployed in Iraq," or "How to test the market for viability of an idea in 45 minutes per day," etc. Maybe "startup" has become meaningless...

I don't mean to diminish the accomplishments of the author, Lean Domain Search is a nice tool he built, and may even be a good way to test a market. Doing so while distracted by military service / a full time job certainly shows impressive drive/willpower. However, to build a company that might (someday) involve more than a 1 man show requires more than 45 minutes per day of attention, especially if other people's livelihoods are(/will be) dependent on you.
Maybe you didn't read it completely or I was not clear, I would just make it illegal to lend money expecting it to be paid by basic income.

Anyone getting basic income should be completely free to spend it any way they want. That is essential.
A couple of partially relevant things:

Something that drives me to really ask what the requirements are is building something for my Dad. It was a tool to do deconvolution of MS spectra, and he said it needed to run "quickly". I got versions down to an hour, then 15 minutes and bottomed out at about 5 minutes for a decent result. After a while I talked to him about the timings and he said that "quickly" meant "under a day". A failure on my part to clarify what is a really fuzzy term. Linked to that, at the time they had a process which involved someone frequently manually looking up an item in a ~3-5k list.

I'm a data scientist, and I think that the amazing tools available now can really cloud the problems that are faced by many organisations. Sure, we can use word-sense vectors to create a deep neural net to do a thing, but 4% of your data has a country of "NONE". Or you've got dates that don't make sense (1000 years into the future), or a suspicious amount at 1/1/1970, 1/1/1900 and 1/1/1904. I've seen important things with "ZZ TEST DO NOT USE" as a field, there's truncated data, broken encodings and more.

This isn't to make fun of the people with these errors, getting and keeping good data is hard and often overlooked. But unless you've got that, you're probably not going to be able to get anything useful from the fancy algorithms. And even then, there's a huge amount to be gained from improving simple interactions at the point humans and computers interface.
