I have a hard time getting too worked up over EME. Netflix's content providers want DRM (as probably does Netflix itself, for its self-productions), and the EME-based stuff seems to be a clear win vs. Flash or Silverlight. The alternatives are clinging longer to Flash and friends or pushing things yet further out into apps where services are free to have whatever DRM they want.

Sure, you could instead hope for a world where the the studios don't want or mandate DRM, but that's pretty pie-in-the-sky thinking, especially for a cheap subscription service like Netflix.
It would be tough for a hardware startup to do that, since they must buy the hardware upfront before they ship it to the user (and returns always cost $). What if the manufacturer stated clearly that your upfront purchase includes a free license to the SW for x months?

I never said that they wouldn't get a single order, that's ridiculous.
And one of the worse is that it always changes and goes over the top of what people actually want, just to sell more stuff -- and gets into a rat race.
> 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.

That's plainly false.

No one's going to wash dishes at Chain Restaurant #12 for 15 cents an hour, not even if the government is giving them $10,000/year. Infinite increase in their current effort for a 1% increase in annual income?

That's like the most pathologically slanted example of diminishing returns possible.
He said the hardware would be standard meaning that Autopilot will be a software unlock. The software safety features are enabled by default.
I would add that the minimum wage is also reflected in the unemployment rates, for those groups whose labor does not command even that low wage. This[1] BLS page has a granular breakdown of unemployment rate by age, gender, and race. The highest aggregate rate is among the youngest group (16-17 year olds). I would love to see tons of low-skill, low-pay jobs for young people who are looking, but instead we see very high unemployment for those younger ages.

Also alarming is that the unemployment rate for young black men (16-17) is 45% right now.

The biggest difference, in my view, is that ads are forced upon you, whereas you seek out information yourself. E.g. if you browse a clothing magazine and you see a H&M or Zara branded page, that's an ad. But if you're looking through a catalogue of clothes, and there's a section with H&M clothing and a section with Zara clothing, that's information that you explicitly sought out.

Another example are billboards and information boards. If it's in large print, so that you see it passing by, it's an ad. But if it's in small print, so you only see it if you intentionally approach the board to see what's new locally, that's information.
Even with the exp claim if the user saves the token before they log out they can reuse it until it actually expires, you have to generate jtis and store them in a blacklist which is what the author of the article meant (you still have to have the concept of a session on the server to be totally sure).
Yeah probably. I think healthcare is a bigger barrier there, but yeah if you had time and a small amount of guaranteed money I'm sure more people would give it a shot.
Sure, a dishwasher might not need to work to pay for rent and heat, but...

Can they afford nice clothing to attract people they like?

Can they play the latest games? See the latest movies?

Do they enjoy cigarettes, alcohol, or other recreational drugs?

Do they like to eat out?

Do they want a higher standard of living when they "retire?"
Okay, but the fundamental thing that differentiates startups is that outliers dominate the results and change their aggregate properties. You might as well say that Scuzzball Fire Insurance honored all of its obligations, except the few houses that burned down.

Most of this thread is people telling me that people put in $1000 so they are going to buy the car, which is ridiculous. That's not a straw man, that's people equating a refundable reservation with an order.
They're not a startup any more. I agree, they were in a tough situation. It's difficult for Nest, it's more difficult for consumers.

Which is fine, but if I write a piece of software that I want to distribute outside of the app store, then everyone that wants to install it needs their own Mac, right? I don't think that's quite comparable to side-loading, which can be done from the device itself, without any external account or hardware.

I don't understand this argument. Netflix depends on DRM and always has.

Also, this pledge won't protect anyone. Because there's no guarantee that the people/companies suing the developer who breaks future DRM will have signed the pledge. The best protection a developer can have against the DMCA is to not live in the USA.

I generally support everything the EFF does, but I don't get this. If the W3C doesn't standardize DRM we'll still get DRM. It will just be more buggy and with more security holes. Just like MS Silverlight and Adobe Flash.

The idea that you can prevent something from being developed by not standardizing it is absurd.
Hey, thanks for showing up and answering some questions. Can you address my point about which copy VidAngel is streaming? If I purchase a film from VidAngel, are they digitizing 'my' copy and transmitting it to me or are they transmitting a master copy of some kind with my filtering directions?

We kinda left that one hanging and now I'm curious. And it's the crux.
That level of thinking is what you get from a company like GM. When asked about building charging infrastructure they said "we're a car company, not an infrastructure company".

Tesla also quietly changed it's name from Tesla Motors to Tesla Energy.
I think that started with overture. At least I recall overture's business prop being paid search results.
> Besides, Sweden has one of the rich world's biggest gaps between native and immigrant employment rates. Youth joblessness is 70 percent higher among the foreign-born than among Swedes. Lowering the minimum wage could draw more of the new, mainly Middle Eastern population, into the workforce and reduce social and ethnic tension.

A minimum wage is simply not moral. It prevents me and you from entering into an employment agreement with which we may both benefit. Instead, the government is telling me how I have to interact with you.

The left-wing philosophy of a minimum livable wage is ironically hurting the new immigrants to these countries. The reality is that first-world nations have higher employment standards because citizens are more educated and capable. Instead of giving new immigrants, who are almost certainly less educated and capable (remember, they're trying to move to countries with better opportunities) the ability to work and gain experience, we leave them with little options.

And like the quote says, it's just bad for assimilation into the host society. Being able to work is fantastic for that. You have to learn at least a bit of the language. Interact with the people. Learn to follow the laws and customs of the new country. Without work opportunities, immigrants can often wind up stuck in their segregated ghettos. And high unemployment invariably leads to a lower quality of life.

Abolish the minimum wage. Give new immigrants the opportunities they want.

This is not a new argument for car safety features. The same things were said about seat belts, 3-point harnesses, and air bags. In each case, they were wrong. Accident survival rates went up significantly, while overall accident rates did not.
Looks interesting. Are my only options to use root password or compile it myself?
It's not very likely though. If a single car would suffice, then most families would already have just one car. The reason they tend to have two or more is because multiple people need to get to different places, in different directions, at roughly the same time. If my wife and I need to be at work by 9AM and we work in opposite directions, it doesn't matter if the car is self driving or not. Either one of us is going to be late, or we both have to leave exceptionally early. Likewise for going home.

IOW: people tend to acquire multiple vehicles out of necessity, not poor planning.
The correct measure is something like quality-adjusted life years (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality-adjusted_life_year), treating the particular details of the job as a disability.
It would be really hard to synthesize something of any significant size using these instruments.
I assume he meant "Boils down to your [choice of] infrastructure", as in, none of the two is inherently better than the other, and your choice would depend entirely on what you prefer to use.
But what are the alternatives, for the people whose productivity is lower than minimum wage?
I think it's more to do with the creation of cryptocurrencies in the first place, not just using them. A thin client with no level of user control (i.e. everything you do with it is managed on servers controlled by your provider) cannot be used to create something as low level as a cryptocurrency, or indeed any form of low level development.

Of course, this kind of thing is why we will always have some form of generic, user-managed-hardware market. If you take away the tools used to create the apps and services controlled by the gatekeepers, you won't have any apps and services. To put it another way, Apple doesn't want to be responsible for creating the millions of apps in their store, they just want to be the ones in control of those apps.

people complain about money. people complain about a lot of things. people complain. this isn't something being amiss in the world today. it's pretty typical. shit, maybe your grampa even complained about money a time or two himself. just not to his grandkids, obviously.

if there's a big difference in how people now view work compared to people in your grampa's time -- go back further and they might even have viewed wage labor with some contempt -- it's foolish to assume that the reason for it is that people today are different, rather than the circumstances they're in, which determine what constitutes a rational choice, have changed.

maybe your friend who works 40 hours a week has good reason to not look for a second job for his three free days a week. maybe his assessment of his circumstances is actually better than your assessment of his circumstances, even if he complains about money now and again.
Looks very promising. Hope you the best.
If you don't trust your cloud provider i'm not sure whether SGX is the solution. Consider all those side-channel attacks.

It might provide an additional defense barrier, but you'd still want to run on trusted hardware. And if you have trusted hardware then it should be ok to use user-provided signing keys, just as you can do with secure boot configurations (at least the acceptable kind).

So as long as you're the exclusive user of a machine it should be sufficient to also hand your public key to the cloud provider so they can put it in the BIOS.

The only reason for SGX to not support that is DRM&Co.
But this is assuming that Basic Income is a solution for the poor. It's not. It's a solution for all of us as it's based on the premise there there will be less work in the future not more.

So We are all going to be poorer so to speak UBI tries to make sure we somehow deal with that.
That's because they'd be right to laugh.

> The IRS already handles annual funds-transfer (and validation) for citizens.

The IRS is still going to have to do its job, unless the USGov suddenly decides to not collect taxes anymore. So we're going to need a new agency. Or a new department of an existing agency. Either way it's not free.

> since there's no need to verify whether people are eligible, other than filing tax returns.

What makes you think there wouldn't inevitably have to be eligibility requirements? You'd have both politically-necessary requirements, (would felons be eligible? Even the ones in jail? What about non-citizens?) and also requirements borne from the need to not create perverse incentives. How old do you have to be to get basic income? If there aren't any age requirements then Octomom will be a role model instead of a laughingstock. All of these requirements, including more that neither me nor anyone else will have thought about until a year or two into the rollout, will increase the administrative costs. I don't see why people think it will be easy or free to do this.

The whole thing reminds me of those "Things programmers believe about X" articles. Basic income is a good idea, but please don't pretend that it's going to be somehow different than every other welfare program.

Sure, Basic Income is supposed to replace welfare, but has any of the proponents actually thought through what that actually would entail? There are a lot of welfare programs that address lots of needs. Not all of them are pure cash transfers, some of them do things like provide counseling.

Some of them, like the food stamp program, provide greater value to the people they serve than if you'd just gave them a check. By replacing these programs with BI, you could be actually lowering their quality of life, like those people whose lives suddenly get awful after they get a raise at work because they no longer qualify for government assistance programs they relied on.

I suspect that a few years into replacing welfare with BI, we'll suddenly start appreciating welfare.
Nope, most are only avail to buy as I was reminded when looking for star wars with my daughter, no way I'm paying $20 to see a forty year old movie.
Not there yet. Stored procedures are seamlessly integrated with underlying database. There are some hurdles with that for Lambda.

But the critical point is that Lambda is distributed and massively scalable, and stored procedures weren't.

Remember that company, Sun? The one that invented Java? When it was still alive, it has an unofficial motto, "the net is the computer". Nobody understood it then; now we know.

coreboot (that libreboot is built upon) also supports MIPS, RISC-V, and has ongoing development for Power8. More platforms can certainly be supported.

Not to say this can't happen with accredited investors but the risk is less. Appropriate due diligence is a competitive advantage but not a requirement. At the end of the day, crowdfunding should be seen as an investment due to the risk and the crowdfunding reward is just as much of a resource for the founder as it is to the customer.

Consumers don't care how about Google/Alphabet organizes itself. Google owns Nest; that fact can't be avoided. When you own a company that intentionally bricks their customers' $300 devices for no other reason that they don't want to support them anymore, you're going to have to deal with the negative perception that it creates.
Yes, that's one take. Another take is exposing some is better than exposing none.

I lived in Montreal for 6 six years, as a student and for my first job. I speak a bit of French, but not much. One day in Place Ville Marie I was getting a coffee at Starbucks. I accidentally bumped into someone in line, and I said "sorry". He snarled at me angrily and said "Get out of here, go back to Toronto". I don't think I had never been to Toronto at that point in my life.

Mostly that does not happen. Mostly people are okay if you try to speak French. But if you slip up or bump the wrong person, your English can certainly make you the target of hateful and mean language.

There is also a forced, legal "racism" against language, in that it can be prohibitively difficult to start a company in English. There is a systematic approach where the government and the locals will make your life more expensive, more complicated and less likely to succeed unless you do fully understand French.

Edit: That said, I love Montreal. It's probably my favourite city in North America, I miss it tons and tons. I live in the Bay Area now, but feel like Montreal is my home and I can't wait to go back.

Remember the good old days when the Dropcam had a practically-magical Bluetooth 4.0 config process and when the Dropcam Pro was sold as a 1080p device? Then Nest acquired them, released the Nest camera which was basically just the same device as the Dropcam Pro repackaged but with 1080p enabled. Oh, and they made configuring the Dropcams a total pain requiring plugging it into a USB port and executing some random executable. Fun.

It's unfortunate hyperbolic use of 'revolution' has kind of muddied and made the term less relevant. A revolution should mean a fundamental change of political system, not change of political power. Going from monarchy to socialism is a revolution. Going from feudalism to democracy is a revolution. Egypt experienced a coup, not a democratic revolution.
