Even if one simply manages to force employers to hand over more of their profit to workers this will simply force up rents/land prices and ultimately once again all gains pass to the rentier.

Bloomberg don't talk about land value tax. They are happy to talk about basic income because it's not real change.
No, they said very specifically - in the next preview build, which is in two weeks.
I wouldn't. I'd use Gaisler's immediately because it's fully open and already FPGA qualified. I'd then buy a good FPGA board. Then I'd run it on there. It would probably run like a multi-core version of my old Pentium II. Yet, I programmed, hacked, gamed, and so on with it. Later, I'd put it on an eASIC Nextreme or actual ASIC if money came in for better performance, power, and unit pricing.
templates?

I use sendy.co, but its WYSIWUG editor is not great compared to MailChimp -- that is the only real thing I think MailChimp has over sendy.co.
I always thought it would replace existing programs, but you have made me realize this is not true.

I guess in the end it comes up to do we believe in personal responsibility or not, and if the state or parents are responsible for children. (It looks like I am in the camp that does not think children should starve because they have irresponsible parents).
SGX is a major point and one I thought the linked post would deal with from its title.

For a user-owner point of view, I agree with your assessment of SGX. I imagine that, once it becomes used for things like media DRM and games copy protection, users will start turning it off in their BIOS, or managing the signing key whitelist manually. And I wouldn't blame them.

But from a user-not-owner point of view (ie, cloud computing), SGX offers the user more security, and a degree of protection against some cloud computing risks.
The macbooks were never supposed to be a "power" machine. The whole purpose was a very portable, long batter life laptop. And it dose that very very well.

I would not call that giving up on performance...they just designed something for a purpose and it fits that purpose well.

... and you'd have to stop everyone from throwing complicated tax structures around their incomes to avoid the increasing tax rates.

I know, "just close the loopholes lol". Except that it's a battle of wits of nerds against a bureaucracy with every-bigger portions of the economy at stake, where every government victory is a longer, less transparent tax code.
Hardware has that upfront cost which consumers take as this should work for x amount of time. In the case of electronics I would hope they last a significant amount of time. If my hardware can work still at least give me a way to write my own code for it or use it as is with the "cloud" portions disabled/removed. If I get a new cell phone my old one doesn't need to become a paperweight because the carrier isn't pushing out updates. I can still use it as is or update it myself.
Lucky. I have to hunt around for DTBs based on modified Rockchip and Freescale SoCs to update my devices.

I am unwilling to distribute said binaries to make it easier for people with the same hardware as I to update their 3 year old software. That, too, is a shame.
I don't know the right solution to the HTML5 DRM thing. I hate DRM, I don't really support its use, but I also use Linux full-time.

Without the HTML5 DRM, I don't think I'd be able to watch Netflix on my laptop, without some Wine wrapper, and really, is that much better? I don't see the studios signing off on Netflix without the use of DRM, and since Silverlight doesn't work on Linux, I selfishly don't have a problem with HTML5 DRM...most of the time.

That said, ethical-me totes does have a problem with DRM being part of the otherwise-open web. Relying on stuff that I can can't break sort of makes my inner-Stallman sad.
I suppose from an individual standpoint examples like yours are very relevant - a big fear for myself is working a job we're I am unfulfilled - but from a broad view we must agree increasing employment is a good goal. The more people working, the greater the output and the cheaper it costs, from which everyone benefits whether we are employed ourselves or not. A highly employed nation is a bountiful one.
Haha I think we mostly agree but I doubt that's what 'bcoates had in mind...
Couldn't agree more. One of the really annoying things about the mass popularization of tech is we seem to always choose the sexier products over the more practical ones.

On the hobbyist side of things, I wonder what it would take to get like, say, a kit ATX motherboard developed; one with modular parts that could gradually be upgraded or repaired over time, and designed to last at least a decade or two.
I am not suggesting that mortgage interest tax deductions are fueling a housing bubble. Nothing of the sort.

I am merely pointing out that a subsidy that applies to everyone in a market naturally drives up the price by a similar amount. It wouldn't fuel runaway growth, but neither does it help 'affordability'.
I think of stored procedures as an API, and I check them into source control. Especially with SQL Server and the debugging hooks available to me, there's a good chance that my stored proc will execute much faster than any other interpreted language/DSL/ORM

But I limit the ways in which I use them. Only to enforce rules intended solely for the database, for example, like shadowing an entry or changeset to another table. I also sometimes use them to optimize the retrieval of some cursors where I know from testing that SQL Server's query plan will end up returning faster than a view or (shiver) an app-side aggregation.

In short, like everything else in our world, fellow hackers, there's a time and a place for everything, and it's (in my opinion) irresponsible to say that you know better than someone else with different domain experience than you.

Edit: to my parent post, I'm agreeing with you, btw. Just happened to be a good place to hang my reply.
There is a separate FAA process for willful violations. Airlines also have their own internal processes.
The ECON 101 argument regarding minimum wage and deadweight loss gets a lot less convincing when get to ECON 110 and start learning that the real world is a lot more complicated than two roughly-perpendicular curves. In real life, labor markets have very inelastic supply, which means that the deadweight loss is small and comes almost entirely from consumer (in this case, employer) side. In most cases this is a net gain for workers. Of course, all of this goes out the window if the minimum wage is non-binding (as it is in most of the US), in which case there is actually zero deadweight loss. Basic income is far superior to minimum wage for meany reasons, but "minimum wage doesn't work" isn't one of them.

How to Avoid Second-Time Founder Syndrome
In some respects, wouldn't a UBI also decrease corruption? There is no more pandering to special interests on either fringe of the social spectrum. There is a much smaller bureaucracy. And on the personal level, you don't have poor citizens trading food credits for drugs - they just buy whatever they want.
What are you talking about? Mortgage interest deduction determines how much money a private person pays in taxes to the federal government each year, relative to their income minus deductions. It does not directly impact home sale price.
We have been working on similar effort, to allow businesses and developers avoid lock-ins and be cloud-agnostic:

From our experience, this is pretty hard, but not impossible!
Mostly it is because "Connected to the point of bricking" is very new.

Most "connected" devices simply have lesser or limited functionality when services they are connected to disappear.

It also comes down to Ownership. When I buy a device I expect it work until it gives up its electronic ghost. When I subscribe to a service I expect it to work for the month I paid for.

Ofcourse I would have never bought that hub in the first place because I require my products at a minimum to have a open API that can be used for Compatibility later.

Wall Garden should be resisted by consumers, it is sad most people do not even look at that, hopefully cases like this will push consumers to DEMAND manufacturer have open and inter operable systems
"Many companies that exist today seemingly couldn't begin in 2016."

I've often thought all web search engines would be considered grotesquely illegal if they hadn't been there since the beginning, but only started today. It is at times a fragile existence as it is even so.
Amazon is in great financial position, but they reinvest all net revenue. So I guess they don't qualify as constant profit (now) but they count as growth, with eventual high profit
Ads as content isn't that bad of a problem. Consider a review or a show that uses a product for legitimate reasons.

The (far) bigger problem will be using your friends against you[1]. Advertising by making various "credit scores" dependent on your friends using the "right" products will be very hard to counter. I suggest fighting it now.

Citizens are not some helpless victims. They make their life choices and they should by exercising personal responsibility.

The same benefits also applies to non-value creators who want to avoid tedium of work and the incentivizes to not do anything and takes risks goes away.

There is a natural Darwinism involved in influencing who wants to have kids. If someone is already struggling in their life, why should they get the incentive to have kids?
Can you show me another airline's promotional material that shows unattractive flight attendants?
> I think we'd all agree that increasing employment is a good goal

I don't think we do. Employment is not a good in and of itself, and a person who is working is not necessarily in a better position than a person who is not. People working for a wage that doesn't support their needs (which then has to be subsidized by the government) are just vehicles for transfer payments from government to garbage business.

> because there are huge benefits to being productively employed.

To make your assumptions explicit here, if you value employment for employment's sake, anything that maximizes the number of people employed is good. Why not negative wages? I suppose a full time job that pays less than it takes to feed and house a person and has to be supplemented with welfare in order to do so is a sort of negative wage...
And they all suck (but are better than nothing). I really wish I could get the windows socket() function to return an integer.
Speaking as a hiring manager, I won't even TOUCH a technical candidate without a coding test. Nope, burned too many times with resumes that were utterly bogus. Not wasting my time. Ideally administered at the whiteboard in front of me, so I know you didn't pay someone $5 on a chat board to do it for you.

It's not a big one - primary goal is to validate that you've actually worked with a database before. Relevant to the job.

But seriously....

- The "Oracle Certified SQL Developer" who fessed up that she didn't know SQL (couldn't even write a basic query)

- People that couldn't identify how to join tables...

- The "Google / Motorola" Python Dev who didn't understand the difference between a list and dict (which is basic to the language, very first chapter of Dive Into Python)

- And massive inattention to detail (leaving out entire sections of the request in their query)

Someone else can go attempt to manage them. I'm busy....
He's not saying that all machines are actively doing any of that, or even that Intel/AMD/anybody have already developed code to do so. He's just pointing out that this chip exists, it has to capability to do what he's described, and there's nothing that we can currently do to stop it if we're using an affected machine, as we don't have any control over the code being run. As to why the companies would do this ... it wouldn't necessarily be them if they lost control of the signing keys. And you can't ignore the fact that the FBI just tried to get Apple to do something pretty damn similar.
The mortgage interest deduction started in 86. Or rather, the isolation of mortgages as tax deductible started in 1986. The effect has been in place for longer than the more recent trends you're describing.

I suppose that means I don't trust you?

If you are interested, read up on SiC, Silicon Carbide. It is better then Gallium Nitride and Silicon for high voltage power small electronics because it has higher thermal conductivity. I randomly learned about it when I was fixing my cars breaks, apparently that is the material that is used :)
Thanks for sharing but some technical info about the attach and methods would be nice
Most restaurants derive most of their cost from labor. With basic income in and minimum wage out, you can pay people much less than you had to before. Yes, you may pay more in taxes, but that's from profit after everything else has been taken care of.

So if you end up with less total profit than before, it sucks, but your control over the situation is far more variable than if you had to simply suck it up and plan to pay your $9.00/hr dishwasher at least $15/hr in three years.
As with any tax increase, the middle class is always the ones that bear the brunt of it, because for all the noise about taxing the 1%, there just isn't enough money to take. The people that end up really paying the price are the people who worked their entire lives to be able to pay for their kids' college, not the people who have $10b in assets.

Politicians are happy to talk about raising the taxes of the wealthy and to cut taxes to the middle class. However, in practice, this means a massive loss in tax revenue, so eventually the middle class taxes have to go back up, or cuts need to be made.

Yes, and for decades minorities would be penalized and effectively rendered ineligible for government contracts just because they were minorities.

And that has done long-lasting damage to their communities. And they weren't guilty of anything, either! You're absolutely right, decades of systemic racism were utterly inimical to a free and healthy society, and minorities bore the brunt of that for a very, very long time.

Systemic racism created a very un-free and un-healthy situation. A lot of blameless people suffered through no fault of their own, generation upon generation.

Couldn't agree more, racism is bad, &c &c.

This small attempt to undo that--preferring minority-owned businesses for a certain amount of government dollars spent--doesn't really seem to be affecting white-owned government contractors, and it does seem to have a pretty positive effect at starting to undo the effects of all that (utterly inimical to a free and healthy society) discrimination.

Again, you can cling to that flag of "all racism is bad!!!" and that's fine. I'm at least somewhat satisfied that you went so far as to acknowledge that there has been discrimination in the past--a lot of people who sound like you are reluctant to even admit that there's ever been a problem. So, well done you.

In terms of outcomes and fairness and justice, however, there are probably better principled stands to take than the one against minority-owned/woman-owned contracting preference programs.

I must've missed that bit. Thanks!
Critical omission on your part: not everyone needs to live on this wage.

Think about high school kids trying to get a summer job. They don't need to survive on this wage, they simply need something productive to do over the summer.

Should my business be required to shell out $15/hr for a high school kid, when the value of his/her labor is way less than that?
Now there's a good argument. Here's the real value, though, straight from ARM themselves: the ecosystem. They've built a whole ecosystem of boards, firmware, software, everything around ARM you get when you license their tech. It might be cheaper with economy of scale as well although licensing and royalties have to factor in. I'd default on MIPS there since they can be up to 10x cheaper than ARM. But yeah, a Freescale iMX ARM was like $4 per 100 units last time I looked it up.

So, it's mainly the ecosystem with companies and FOSS people wanting to benefit from what's already there instead of improve FOSS HW ecosystems. There's currently, but not indefinitely as you said, a cost advantage for the mass market SOC's as well for PPC, ARM, MIPS, and possibly SuperH.
I am generally in favor of a negative income tax, but fiddling with voting rights is a complete non-starter.

Disallowing people to vote, or giving some people more voting power, skews all politics in ways that are inherently hard to fix or even address. It creates a weirder incentive scheme for the government which already behaves oddly thanks to odd incentives. A plan that took voting power away from its beneficiaries would sow the seeds of its own undoing—if not in a single action than over hundreds of small amendments and exceptions. The end-game I'd expect is for most of the benefits of the plan to be chipped away, leaving only the changed voting rights.

That's really not the way to go.
How do you know it wasn't the same marketing person mentioned in the GP writing those responses?
Hence the "suck it up" part. Find the time.
You have some good points, but I think calling anything a "right" will bring downvotes. I suggest not asserting anything is a "natural right" as that's too open to interpretation and brings a visceral reaction for many people.
This is a nice move, but if you think this changes the "Microsoft is dead" statement (not prediction) then you don't appreciate what Microsoft was as compared to what Microsoft is today.

In the 1990s, Microsoft was in many tech markets the default winner, with such powerful monopoly influence that large classes of startup idea would not even make sense to consider because Microsoft was just so well set up to kill any threats to their dominance. And quite willing to do so.

This is a level of dominance and ferocity that has not been attained by other tech companies since. Companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook have pretty strong dominance powered by their lead in product quality, engineering talent, and brand/network effects, but it doesn't strike fear into people the way Microsoft once did. Plus, there is some balance of power among them.

Microsoft now is a participant in this power dynamic. They play in the normal way, by trying to make good products and attract developers and users to their platform. In the 1990s, this would have seemed a pathetic weakness. That Microsoft is still dead.
I'm sure we have all had terrible bosses. I have probably had one of the worst bosses you could imagine. Quitting that job was one of the best days of my life. However it still isn't a persons birthright or written anywhere in the constitution that you have only have to work for people you like.

If you want to avoid bad bosses you need to learn a skill that makes you highly sought after or be self employed.

I think the most annoying thing about the Coolest Cooler campaign is this quote: I'm just frustrated that people who live in my same town [...] who purchased their Coolest cooler AFTER I did [...] have received their shipment before I have. I've contributed to several Kickstarter campaigns, one of which failed. I was bitter about the failure, but I understood the risk. However, I think I would be much more upset if my neighbor received their product and I didn't.
> We need some laws to protect consumers, that either say that they must release their API if they're going to shut down, or at least make reverse engineering the system legal.

The EFF proposed making a DMCA exemption for reverse engineering game server functionality when the official servers have shut down, making the game useless. And of course the industry (with a little help from the MPAA) has fought it tooth and nail:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/04/publishers-fight-to-bl...

Apparently "hacking" abandoned games encourages hacking in general, and, as in the classic orphan work argument, allowing reverse engineering for all abandoned works would rob publishers of the revenue for the tiny, tiny portion of them that they may (or may not) re-release some day.

The Librarian of Congress gave limited approval of the proposal, allowing circumvention of the case you mentioned, where an online check is required just to play local single player, but not anything else. Creating a new multiplayer server, for instance, is still illegal.

This is so dishonest.

The medium post[1] is about a specific media enquiry, which did not ask about his functional programming work at all. Yarvin stated, for good or ill, that he intended to answer the questions honestly. Your criticism in context is thus completely out of line. You are blaming a guy being asked about his political views for answering those questions.

Your summary of the rest of the article is ridiculously biased and unfair. You present no syllogisms, no evidence, no logic, no conclusions. Just an extraordinary claim of white surpremacy.
