Is your "other people" fallacy actually a fallacy?

I mean, if the authorities really are just looking for criminals, and you really are not a criminal, then it doesn't seem to me that this reasoning is fallacious at all.

Where it falls down is when the authorities overreach and go after non-criminals, or when "criminal" gets so broadly defined that everybody qualifies when the authorities want them to.

The anti-index fund craze is absurd considering there is nothing preventing an "actively" managed fund from behaving like a passive fund.
A challenge with Ontario is that the province is already on hard financial times and the current government is politically beholden to the bureaucracy. The financial idea of mincome is that the government can shut down a bunch of over-managed social programs in favour of a unified simple payment direct to the residents...

...but there's not political will to shrink the government complexity and capture this savings, which means mincome in Ontario is the fiscal policy equivalent of this xkcd comic:

Looking at it, I don't see anything dealing with sparse matrices or factorization (e.g., LU, QR, SVD). All the Java libraries for SVD are pretty bad. Plus, none of your examples mention double precision. Does the library support it?

I find it interesting in the Numpy comparison no mention of the BLAS Numpy is linked to is mentioned, but it is for Nd4j. Numpy is highly dependent on a good BLAS and the basic Netlib one isn't that great.

The work he did with the impressions, to me, suggests he has experience as / knows someone who is a dental technician. If he didn't, wow, he independently figured out some of their key techniques.

My grandfather used to make dentures, and that casting in the 4th photo looks exactly like the impressions my GF would make. They also used these hinges so they could mate the upper to the lower, so they could adjust any collisions that occurred while opening and closing the mouth.

It bothers me less when I don't have any equity in the car. When I get a rental car and it isn't in perfect condition it really doesn't bother me so much, or when the uber driver shows up and it isn't a nice car it doesn't bother me so much. I agree though that by and large companies will have to get it right. If the car shows up dirty every time that would get old. How will they handle users who are more likely to leave the car dirty (ie have a bunch of young kids)
and will there be "premium" levels where you are guaranteed a certain brand/level of quality?

Then again I am driving a 99 volvo so not exactly living in the lap of luxury. My view on this might be skewed.
> Everything laid out in the article is already being handled by the judicial system.

This is both false and absurd. If the allegations are correct, this woman spent more than a dozen years as a sex slave. None of those crimes were "handled" by the judicial system. This is just a civil settlement. And she is only one person. The complaint also alleges that he was involved with many other women. We know nothing about their status, but abusers rarely confine their crimes to one victim.

If gawking is all that happens, sure. So maybe you could pipe down and let some actual discussion happen?

The frequent counter argument to this, is that it isn't fair to give rich people a basic income at all. That it's inherently regressive to give rich people welfare. Instead, those income payments should be going to those that need it the most.

Basic income is fair like a flat tax is fair, and just as regressive.

To me the hope is that you can access a vehicle at roughly the same cost per mile as you can with ownership. Except you only need enough money in your pocket to cover the miles you want to go today (compared to the next 5 years or whatever).

So basically, people are assuming (or hoping) that the per mile charges on autonomous vehicles will be a lot lower than current per mile options.
This is awesome! Thanks for the detailed description.
So I have ADD, and I can't tell you if my brain is different or not. But I have exactly zero withdrawal from methylphenidate after years of use. If I don't take it, I simply don't get anything done.

I get much less impulsive also, car rental managd my own mood much better. My blood pressure add resting heartrate has also improved since I started with the stimulants. A bit unusual according to my doctors.

YMMV - the medication is crude, but being without is not really an option - it's really nice to start being able to plan, and actually decide what actions to take instead of simply doing whatever feelt good at the time.
Exactly this but not only in SF "commercial areas", all along BART and Caltrain and VTA stations. They do it a little at some stations but they need much more density and radius. The 20 min walk radius from the stations should encourage 5-18 (give or take) floor mixed use but mostly residential buildings.
>That's a misleading analogy.

No. It's not misleading at all. And your example illustrates the important distinction the OP made. These companies that you mentioned almost have to cooperate with the government because the government has the ultimate power to fine or even jail them, not to mention harass them or put them out of business, if they refuse to cooperate. They can't just walk away from this issue. This is why government power and the use of the gun has to be strictly controlled by the constitution. This is what the FEDs, et. al. are trying to circumvent. Our basic liberties such as Freedom of Speech, Assembly, etc. are empty words if the government attains the power to spy on all citizens en masse without out cause or warrant.

Hi feross. Please note that Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) does support TLS 1.2. As you can see at http://www.appbrain.com/stats/top-android-sdk-versions (A good gauge of android distributions), KitKat is the most used Android distribution, followed by 5.0 (Lollipop).
So, the actual percentage you are looking at is ~25%, but that's also for the native Android browser. Note that the API kits for these versions actually DO support TLS 1.2, when you look at the documentation for http://developer.android.com/intl/zh-cn/reference/javax/net/.... , you can see this is supported in SDK 16+ so custom apps most likely already use TLS 1.1+.
Now, we know this is hard. We know some users will be impacted by this; however, this is how security moves forward. We will continue to monitor our customers and work with them hand in hand to make sure the transitions are as smooth as possible.

Good writing.

I also expect that more people will start playing Go, or like me, get a renewed interest in the game.

I read that Lee Sidol is planning on retiring from active play in a few years and move to the USA to evangelize the game in the West.

I played the South Korean national champion and the women's world champion in handicapped exhibition games in the 1970s. It would be awesome to get to do the same with Lee Sidol!
> Google does not.

That's simply not true; they use the government's guns every time they file a lawsuit. While the government is the ultimate controller of that power, the economic and legal powers available to corporations depend on the enforcement of the state.

I'm already on board with the idea of not owning a car, but I'm just waiting for it to become practical.

For me, the biggest obstacle is that there isn't a car sharing service near me, so I'd like an autonomous car to deliver itself right into my driveway on 5 minutes notice.
That's true. It depends on which Chinese people, too! But overall, the point remains: reduce the population, reduce the environmental impact.

I did mention implementation of negative income tax via withholding in the final sentence of my comment. However, I haven't read/heard how adjusting withholding would work in a non-retroactive manner for independent contractors or those who are temporarily jobless. What's a non-retroactive negative income tax payment proposal for persons in those situations?
1) I really like this, for transparency, clarity, and design.

2) The actual numbers there are a little bit scary. 0.03% equity grant? That's tiny. It's basically worthless.

When did startup equity get so tiny? I'm not singling eShares out here -- just broadly speaking. That means that if eShares exits past a billion dollars, those shares won't even buy a house in the area....
> I would have thought that a modern language

The only thing modern about Go is that it's just a few years old, but it's based on programming language concepts that were mainstream in the late 90s.
I am sure if you could find a remote developer job you could work from wherever you please, as long as you were accessible when they needed you to be (i.e. Internet connectivity, conference calls, etc..). I know plenty of people who work from Starbucks, or other coffee shops/public locations, all day without an issue, so I don't see what the difference would be if you were in a tent in the middle of the woods or on top of a mountain. Another option may be to look for positions in areas that have extensive outdoor areas (i.e. Boulder, CO) to explore within walking distance or short commute.
Many of them do, actually. When I had actively-managed funds the graph of their performance usually looked exactly like the graph of their benchmark, except minus a few basis points for fees.
Last week in my robotics classes, the 4th grade students built and programmed simple "self-driving" cars with LEGO EV3's. My students are mostly 1st generation immigrants in Brooklyn. Many of their families' main source of income is through driving for a car service.

Looking at one of the charts from OP, these kids' parents are horses. What will they do when those jobs don't exist anymore? Will the new "horse" population be reduced? How will they fit into the new economy?

Other than providing childcare for upper middle class families (subsidized by sending their own kids to substandard preschools), most of their jobs will be replaced through automation in less than 10 years. Most of these families are working 40+ hour weeks on minimum wages and still need WIC and other benefits to get groceries and low end govt/city childcare for their kids. I know basic income is an (the?) answer, however I don't see the US getting on board with that idea in the next 10 years.
This will sound moralistic, and I don't mean it that way, but I think this relates to our general lack of clear values as a society. With religion absent in many people's lives, not much has stepped in to take up the slack and say "what really matters is being a good person" or "what really matters is wisdom" or "what really matters is family". So we're left with the messages we ARE getting, which are from a combination of advertising (what really matters is having a lot of money/nice things), Hollywood (what really matters is being good at shit) and the news cycle (which focuses on careers and especially major careers). "Mom gets home from work and has a fun late afternoon with her kids, spending no money and getting nothing much done" isn't a story we ever see upheld as a great, positive way to spend our time. So we pursue the things we do see people praising and talking about - promotions, money, milestones, important-ness.
Maybe ... before that happens, however, there will be a major shift in the most common vocation in nearly every state in the US. 3 million truckers will need major vocational re-training, and that doesn't even begin to count the many other services and industries that are dependent on truckers. See https://medium.com/basic-income/self-driving-trucks-are-goin...
Can you chew food with the aligner on?
I've worked in three school systems. My experience accords with many things Kohn says, especially:

Unfortunately, even some people who are educators would rather convince students they need to adopt a more positive attitude than address the quality of the curriculum (what the students are being taught) or the pedagogy (how they’re being taught).

I'll add: Students can "smell" when teachers are disingenuously trying to convince students to adopt a more positive attitude, even when the teachers are unaware of their disingenuity. The students grumble the same way a subordinate grumbles when a boss advocates a more positive attitude. The subordinate can feel an injustice, even when he's/she's can't put it into words.

[Studies supporting effort-oriented feedback] included no condition in which students received nonevaluative feedback.

A primer on nonevaluative feedback that changed my life (not to mention my teaching style) is Teacher and Child, by Haim Ginott. I then read all of his other books, which were equally rewarding. If I have time later I'll quote sections from his books I wrote down.

Along with many other education critics, I’d argue that the appropriate student response to much of what’s assigned isn’t “By golly, with enough effort, I can do this!” but “Why the hell should anyone have to do this?”

Indeed.

Hey! Recent NJIT alumn - great to see something so creative like this come from my home turf. Really impressive work!
It's 2016 and I feel like I'm going to become like this. I have a case of insomnia and drive to just work. I'm soon to graduate and the idea of working at a large company seemed nice after I applied, but when the offer was there I had to turn it down because I didn't want to be comfortable. I feel like start ups have so much to offer in terms of personal growth and I don't want to miss it.

> Force is the ultimate form of influence against which there is only force to stand against it

Gandhi would disagree with you.

The weakness of hard power is that it is expensive, blatant in application, and virtually guaranteed to create opposition. The strength of soft power is that it is indirect while being cheaper and less likely to create resentment. People are best manipulated through suggestion rather than coercion.

Hard power is ugly but at least it's obvious. Soft power can be just as ugly by being insidious.
Google has a lot of data on a lot of people, and as such, often they're the obvious single target.

But, it's useful to keep in mind that the aggregation of all data on a person, across all sources, is several orders of magnitude greater than what Google has. And, very recently, that larger set has been merged together.
They do hint at, but don't examine from a technical perspective some of the strangeness associated with dingbats. For example, 'n' in an Office application was/is mapped to a picture of a skull, even though a skull has a true Unicode value. Bullets and other symbols aren't just 'clipart', they're used to structure documents, and a lot of problems in document creation/management--especially cross platform--are related to how these situations are handled. Modern emoji where :) maps to a Unicode value of a smiley face add another layer. Perhaps this wasn't the best article, but I think knowing a bit about the pre-computer history, and the early computer history is important to understanding some of the difficult problems that emerge in application development.
I would think the biggest concern is creating a twin bubble of tech startups and housing.

Using Polymer(...) instead of document.registerElement(...) means that for anyone to re-use a component I build, they will need Polymer as a dependency.

Then there's hacked components like React that don't even use the web components spec...

I believe the premise is that those rich people will pay much more in taxes than their cut of the UBI pool.

I guess if you mean rich people who don't work / pay taxes, but I don't think that's an actual issue (since the few who end up unfairly benefitting don't matter in the grand scale), more so an emotional one.
