Yes, in billions of years we'll have a problem with our expanding star, and in quintillions of years the whole universe may completely run out of fuel, or suffer a Big Crunch... Clearly we're talking about different timescales and priorities. Space exploration is reasonably a low-priority quest for now. If we manage to control our most pressing (short-term) problems for, say, a mere thousand years, technology will presumably take care of a lot of that. And a thousand years is a blip in that kind of timescale.
They have lowered the center of gravity. Pretty clever.
I think it's even simpler: tech companies overwhelmingly create technology. So the majority of their employees should be developers or other people involved in actually creating technology. Uber and AirBnB are tech companies: they're primary innovation was creating technology and the majority of their business expenses are in creating technology.

I don't know how anyone gets away with calling call center employees "tech workers." It's a farcical trend and a way to make headlines ("Tech workers making only $30k a year"). They're not more tech workers than a developer at a news company is a journalist.

You need to incorporate the big picture into the promotion incentives. Safety not # of FBI cases, health not # of hospital procedures, security not DOD wars.
Well, this is what you believe it does, but is it proven or at least fairly convincingly demonstrated by at least some model or more thoughtful argumentation?

Yes. It's been modelled extensively, and has been found to work, and it's worked in different pilot programmes over the past 40 years - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income_pilots

Is this mostly a solved problem for developed world?

If you have a car it probably needs some type of work, somewhere. The big cost is in tools, but just start simple and work your way up to something like an engine rebuild. Even doing simple but time consuming tasks like replacing leaking gaskets or hoses teaches you a lot and saves a ton of money.
Some stylists are annoyed that the noun "impact" has been verb-ified into "impacted" because it's most widely used in business writing and PowerPoint slides...
There's also a third reason. It can be illegal without consent of those involved (e.g. lecturer, students, university). To comply with the law, you would have to clear rights such as copyright, performer's rights, moral rights, and privacy rights before any recording takes place.
But thats exactly my point, you cant include everything unless you want to turn a basic how-to into an instruction manual. Cover the fundamentals of an engine and give little interesting facts like that regarding hybrids. I think your really having a hard time grasping what basic is when you mention things like 'they covered this, but not that', yes thats cause its BASIC.
They are designed to look sexy in the dealership.

Most engine covers pop off without even using any tools.
Implementing IPN on Paypal is a pain. It is really only required because the normal flow for Paypal is to take the user off your site to theirs and only redirect back to you when the user clicks a link or waits quite a long time. This results in loads of users not making it back, or clicking out of the flow. More modern client-based payments processing tends to happen in-page via javascript or an app.

The Stripe/Braintree-style flow is nicest in many ways - they post the card details off to the payment processor, who generate a unique retailer-specific token for the card and send that back to the page. The retailer then uses that to process the payment server-side just like they would have done if they had collected the card number, only without the PCI-compliance issues.
I agree that some level of 'greed' is good just like other animal-level motivations (anger, lust, etc). The problem is that unchecked they can be consuming make for poor decisions in the long view. Plus, they don't need to be legislatively encouraged, as they will always be present in humans in strong form.
That's how it works most of the time, at least in my experience.

Card details are sent to the processor, a token comes back. You then send the token along with any data relevant to the transaction (which items were purchased, tax zones, coupon codes etc), you then verify on the server that inventory exists etc, and then you send the token (which is only a short-lived represention of the credit card number) and then verify the payment went through, and then you go through the bussines process for delivering your product(s).

Then, and only then do you give back a response saying the order has processed, so the UI can alert the user.

I do now! :)
This guy is still a jerk. The whole article is written as a gross sympathy piece for him. He worked for a year on homelessness and didn't solve it? Very smart, passionate (I.e., don't care about homelessness only because they got caught saying something horrible) have spent decades on it. This guy seriously thought he could solve the whole issue and make everything go away in a year? Really?

Also, I love how the author non-chalantly mentions that homeless people with mental illnesses would be banned from his planned camps. That's absolutely ridiculous, horrible, and blatantly illegal.
> It's the middlings who need to worry about power imbalances and who take jobs with lousy bosses and put up with lousy coworkers.

In my experience, many people (I don't like the word 'middlings' for some reason) think job to job instead of about a career. And then they have job problems.

Likewise, many people think paycheck to paycheck instead about longer-term finances. And then they have cash flow problems.

Isn't part of the solution to get employers and employees to talk to each other in terms of career trajectory, professional development, and skills marketability?

Couldn't part of the power imbalance be solved by getting employers to think again about giving out dead end jobs in dying industries? Right now we put the onus on the employee to recognize the problem and demand a better deal. Assuming automated freight trucks become a thing, shouldn't trucking companies say, "Hey, work for us. We'll have you trained for better jobs by the time the truck drives itself!"?

That's not enough, the vendor needs to verify all the details that paypal sends back are correct.

Otherwise you can change the price and paypal will process your new price, then paypal returns a "yup, they paid" message back to the vendor.

If the vendor only checks they paid and doesn't verify all the other details against the basket you can adjust the price down.

I know this because I actually did this at one of my previous companies, we used to sell SMS bundles for use in our POS (point of sale) product. To demonstrate this vulnerability I lowered the price to a penny and bought our biggest bundle.

Because our test system had the payment side mocked* I had to use the live site.

What I hadn't counted on was the fact that our CEO was CC'd in whenever someone bought a bundle. Thankfully the company wasn't too large, so my boss was able to ask me about it and directly feed back what had happened.

* Technically "just not hooked up" rather than mocked.
If you want a more modern and concrete example, the "Turning your database inside out" talk by Martin Kleppmann is pretty good too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU9hR3kiOK0
Agreed. If they ever spend it, it'll trickle down. If they don't spend it, it'll be increasing the value of all the dollars that everybody else has - they've basically lending money to the rest of the world until such time as they decide to spend what they have, then it'll cause some inflation and the poor people will effectively be paying back that loan.

If they never spend it, then everyone else wins. Setting fire to money or burying it in a hole is like donating it to everyone else who also has money.

I don't understand what the problem is with a small number of people having a lot of money. What harm are they doing? Or is it simply plain old-fashioned jealousy?

Zoning and building codes are usually totally separated. For example plenum cabling adherence is required in many localities for industrial, commercial and residential zones regardless of income level. As for safety you of course don't want a chemical plant next to say an elementary school, but generally that kind of zoning is not what leads to what urban planners refer to as "exclusionary zoning."

The Man Who Started the World War One
> Does that mean that from just working extremely hard, you can never (very likely) get a burnout?

Dashrath Manjhi ran away from his home at a young age and worked at Dhanbad's coal mines. He returned to his village and married Phalguni Devi. While crossing Gehlour hills to bring him lunch, she slipped and seriously injured herself, which eventually led to her death. Manjhi was deeply disturbed and that very night decided to carve a path through the Gehlour hills so that his village could have easier access to medical attention. He carved a path 360-feet-long (110 m), 25-feet-deep (7.6 m) in places and 30-feet-wide (9.1 m) to form a road through the rocks in Gehlour hill.

Not a statistical argument (which your words suggest you expected), but I think it agrees with the spirit of the article - you can find motivation for truly crazy stunts if you focus on obtaining future good emotions instead of avoiding present bad emotions. Working to avoid losing the rat race is a burnout-prone kind of motivation, for example.
Hi! I also do what you're doing - my latest effort involves getting old computers in the hands of the refugee's here in Europe, and getting them set up to backup their cell phones, which are absolutely vital to their survival (paperworks, docs, dictionaries, maps, etc.) and yet utterly non-administered.

I've also poked my head in on a couple of the rPi/Minecraft hacking sessions that teach kids computer programming, and will try to promote this among my small and mostly crew.

Anyway, just wanted to say its great that you mentioned what you're up to, because we really need to be doing more of this, in my opinion.
It is perfectly permissible to be a member of a union and negotiate as a individual, the one does not automatically preclude the other.
What's wrong with a small tilt of the axis? It has to point somewhere. Certainly a fast and large change might take time for ecology to catch up, but this is spectacular in how tiny it is! What observable effect could it possibly have on our lives or lifestyles ever?
I won't hold my breath until this has been sufficiently reviewed by mathematicians, especially Terence Tao, since he has also work done work in this area: http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.0290 .
Tao Te Ching. A verse on how to rule.

Rule a nation with justice.

Wage war with surprise moves.

Become master of the universe without striving.

How do I know that this is so?

Because of this!

The more laws and restrictions there are,

The poorer people become.

The sharper men's weapons,

The more trouble in the land.

The more ingenious and clever men are,

The more strange things happen.

The more rules and regulations,

The more thieves and robbers.

Therefore the sage says:

I take no action and people are reformed.

I enjoy peace and people become honest.

I do nothing and people become rich.

I have no desires and people return to the good and simple life.
I will wait and let the mathematicians review the proof.
It's not a new term, and it's not merely a log. Fowlers article (linked in another post) is the shortest place to start learning about it.

What's wrong with the official tutorial? https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html
Free Software exists because someone says "hey, wouldn't it be quite useful to share this code with others and see if it improves".

It has absolutely nothing to do with corpo-cracy. Since it is a maxim that anyone who writes software can decide to publish it, at the individual level, this is as equally applicable to any corporation as it is on the individual level. However, I would say there are far, far more individual authors of free software out there, than corporate.
Time to short ANSYS stocks!
Might be because pizzas are incredibly overpriced in the UK. Most places they are cheap student food, for $5 you can get a meal. Not in the UK.
I suspect part of the rub is that with react being only the 'V' in MVC, stand-alone tutorials leave you with only part of the picture.

And, of course, people are choosing different paths to fill in the rest of the stack. All of which pull your specific 'style' of using react in slightly different directions.
The document hasn't been composed in LaTeX. That's usually a pretty big red flag.

However, the other big red flags common to crankwork -- excessive philosophical musing, violation of the lemma-proof-theorem structure -- are absent. I'll wait on some peer-review and hopefully a translation into English.
This is a pretty basic product but it's got all the necessary functionality I originally thought out for it.

The idea is to give restaurant servers (or really anyone who works for tips) a simple, no-nonsense tool to track income & expenses and see their daily spending budget.

This could be disastrous, but if you want to login and look around, you can use username 'employee' with pw 'applesaucegingersnaps'. I guess we'll see what happens if multiple people are logged in making edits at the same time!

When I was server, this is something I would've liked to have had. I haven't done much market probing yet, but any critique is welcomed and encouraged, per usual Show HN!
Rasa Talks – Episode 2
In German law there is. In Australia unfair dismissal can only be claimed after 6 months of employment. Not really sure about the UK, but I am fairly sure it's not just cut throat firing like in the US, and you can claim unfair dismissal.
It's in russian.
But that's exactly a sign of the problem! The money represent abstract power, not specific goods and services. This IMHO runs completely against the idea of free market, and the expectation that people will either consume or invest, instead of saving money (in order to gain power by postponing the economic decision).
Also, legitimate papers never are titled/abstracted with only "this is a solution to Famous Problem" but are more specific to what it solves/relates to

Example: "Modular elliptic curves and Fermat's Last Theorem"
12 pages = huge red flag. these type of proofs go into hundred + pages

And you still need to carry the slate.

One concern though, it's only made for Apple iOS gadgets which is a bit useless because Apple newest iPads (Pro) have this included...

It should just work in the cloud and be available on the web before anything else.
To me it felt like a complete betrayal of what most people, who were for it, wanted. Most people I know regard it as a failure or at best a mess. I know I certainly had a very different system in mind. I will say that it seems to have benefited some however.
Agreed. This is practically useless. This Site http://gracefuldisasters.com/ on the other hand, has a step-by-step guide for building a self-improving incident management process for your team / co (disclaimer: I wrote it).
UK you can claim unfair dismissal after 2 years, unless there's Equalities Act stuff happening.
The price of the totaled car is by far the smallest sum if you have really injured someone. In germany the default amount your are insured against is 50 or 100 mio €. 20k is a joke.
When social safety net works, then people without top skills can still work away from bad employers. They may even try to start own business as they know that if they fail, the landing will be soft.

The situation when a person has to accept intimidation or even abuse at work is not much different from slavery.
often a proof will hinge on a key conjecture, so the paper is named after the conjecture
Still, it held off for 4 years. That's pretty much the usual lifetime of a console generation, so I'd say the system was a success.

I have a question: exactly what causes the piston to come back after the intake/power stroke?
Let me write what I guess I have understood -

1. The intake stroke piston movement may be considered to be caused by gravity and/or atmospheric pressure

2. The power stroke piston movement may be considered to be caused by gravity and/or atmospheric pressure and/or the expansion due to explosion all taken together

Correct me if I am wrong.

But what baffles me is this: what causes the piston movement during the compression stroke and exhaust stroke?
Any expert here to enlighten me on this?

Google Plans to Adopt Apple’s Swift Programming Language for Android
Odoo is essentially a generic platform for which one writes modules, either self-contained or as extensions of others. When a client comes to us with a need, we implement a solution using a mix of new modules and existing ones. When it's finished, the client gets a FOSS license to all the modules, so they aren't locked-in to us. What we don't do is necessarily publish all modules on Github or similar; we make that decision case by case.
Another illustration of the classic thesis "security should be built from the ground up and can't be added later". Also shows the importance of minimizing the attack surface. Would love to hear some inside stories about discussions that ultimately led to these implementation decisions.
>> I cant help but think, shouldn't search engines have to worry about this

I don't think anyone disagrees with this, but production sites would then have an incentive to wait until search engines have figured it out. Or otherwise suffer the traffic loss.

Google's 2014 summary of how well they do with javascript reads like "we just got this working, but there's lots left to do": https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2014/05/understanding-web-... . The fact that they went as late as 2014 before even trying doesn't inspire confidence.
I had a look at your link, and this page in particular: http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/lambdaway/?view=lambdatalk%20one

If I understand well, it seems that you wrote some kind of lisp dialect with the following particularities (some of my observations might be wrong, so please correct them):

- it's somehow executed in javascript, so when I load in page with lambdaway code in it, js executes the code and the output is displayed on the page

- braces are replacing parenthesis

- you allow unicode variables (like \Phi)

- by default, an expression is a string, unless it's preceded by a colon (my first opinion is that it's not the best and it would be better to use the quotes for the strings like other languages do, but I can be wrong)

I happen to be writing at the moment a blog post (it's not finished yet, but here is the beginning: http://eskatrem.github.io/Newton-Raphson ) that uses some mathematical symbols - it will also talk about lisp by the way. I guess it's something that could be - better? - done with lambdway?
OK, I think the number one thing to ensure about this business, if you want to revolutionize hiring, is to show that it works. If I can apply this idea to my potential hires, I'm going to give you all the dollars because the alternative is spending my team's precious cycles on interviewing.

I think there are a lot of paths that lead to your business making money but ultimately going down a path towards "yet another technical certification" - technical certifications are a negative hiring signal for a good reason. Avoiding this pitfall, I think, is the hardest part but perhaps the key to success.

I consider myself both an introvert and a somewhat-reformed grammar pedant. I tend to only call out mis-spellings and grammar mistakes when they matter.

I also prefer writing my own words in an e-prime fashion, eschewing forms of to be. It helps me eliminate most of my use of passive voice and also helps me make less judgemental statements, tying agency to my verbs.
You really need to know your system calls back to front to work out how to apply seccomp usefully and effectively. There are several hundred of them, including historical versions which may or may not be used, depending on the libc version that runs.
19.9 million Americans live in extreme poverty[1], so no it isn't.

The question was not about the living conditions of the people but about their reproductive behaviour.

I understand that this is mostly cultural phenomenon, so the question is, is this behaviour still prevalent in the dormant condition and will reappear when given opportunity.

Yes. It's been modelled extensively, and has been found to work, and it's worked in different pilot programmes over the past 40 years - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income_pilots

In what way do you think my comment is biased (given that I explicitly marked the women's magazine as a guess and an example)? In what way do you think the analysis is useful?

I think an analysis like that can be amusing. I am not convinced that it is useful, as I explained in my previous comments.

As for doing the research myself, I may, but it is expensive. I don't have a gender studies grant or anything to pay for it.
