I would caution a counter point that this wouldn't be a bad thing if it were reducing technical debt or improving automation. Of course, you did say avoiding it if it were working fine, but sometimes things that work fine still end up having a lot of impact on day to day routines and ability to get work completed.

I'm focusing a bit more on devops so naturally I would defend my point of view and job security but I think if you have some balance in there with regards to rewriting something to reduce technical debt in some fashion would be OK.

But I'd venture a guess that lots of organizations have to find that middle ground between building constantly vs remodeling / improving the foundation.
I think they are not testing with small enough particles. In the article, they test with PM 2.5 particles which would be around 2.5 micro meters. However, if you look at the table on page 11 of

http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/409903O/respiratory-prote...

Potential bio weapons such as smallpox, anthrax, influenza and the hemorrhagic viruses are far smaller than 2.5 microns.

Also, there are probably issues with the sensitivity of the detection equipment. If you look at the table on page 8 of

https://www.ll.mit.edu/publications/journal/pdf/vol12_no1/12...

And at the table at

http://www.siumed.edu/medicine/id/current_issues/bioTable2.p...

You will see that some of the biological agents can cause infection with as few as 10 particles. I doubt that the Tesla equipment could detect a concentration of 10 particles of these sizes.

This article is basically the biological equivalent of the I can't break my own crypto article.

It has not. Hard evidence constantly has shown the opposite. The only "evidence" that supports you is "studies" that use self-reported data. Which is worthless. Every study where people's caloric intake was measured for them shows that your belief is mistaken.

Sounds like hxsl doesn't actually solve most of the problems described in the article, but just obscures them in a layer of indirection. If you're generating shader strings at compile-time, you still have to compile them at runtime, for instance, just like before, and the GPU/CPU gap is only marginally reduced.

It might solve some other problems with GPU programming, though?
Thanks. Working further on the core of the site is a valid option.

To balance those properly, that's the hard problem. The first was a FX-8320E with a R7 370, the second a Pentium G4400 with a GTX 970. The first is okay in my eyes. The second would be better with an i3-6100 instead of the Pentium.

To make it work you'd have to take whatever the amount is and extract it from all other government benefit programs.

You get $700 / month from the government for basic income. Your social security, welfare, unemployment, disability, etc is reduced by $700 / month. Reducing all of those programs by the first $700 would effectively gut each of them enough to finally make some reforms without inducing panic in everyone who uses them.

If you were to implement the Fair Tax, which includes a stipend for basic needs, you'd get bipartisan support as well. The only difference is that you increase the stipend to the level of the BI.

For kids, you give the parents their basic income until they hit school age and then the BI goes towards funding their school. This would also enable people who wanted to utilize private schools a much easier choice by essentially becoming a voucher.

No loan could utilize the BI as security...except for student loans. That would allow driving down of interest rates as well as default aversion too. Payments could be automatically extract from the BI since student loans would finally be secured against something other that expected future earnings.
It's language war. Entitlement spending is a great way to negatively frame social security.
As long as Facebook and Google pay interns and recent college graduates ridiculous salaries, then startups have to match them. As long as they offer crazy working environments with massages and free food and fantasy offices, then startups have to do the same. At least in SV frugality isn't a word.

"universal benefit program" meaning it is designed from the beginning to replace the 14, so now you have 1.
Other people have mentioned end-to-end tracing frameworks, which are heavyweight application-level frameworks that are similar to logging.

However, lightweight cross-component dynamic instrumentation that correctly captures causality is still an open research problem. This is actually something I have done some work on recently in my system Pivot Tracing[1] which won a best paper award at the conference it was presented at (SOSP). Pivot Tracing combines dynamic instrumentation with causal tracing in order to address precisely the problem you describe. The code for the system is open source and available on GitHub[2].

> fewer working mothers can find child care, fewer laborers to mow your lawn, fewer nurses, fewer teachers, etc.

First of all, even if the people in positions like this were only working for sustenance and UBI provides it for them, it doesn't mean some wouldn't want to continue working to make even MORE money. UBI is a baseline, not welfare. If previously a lawn mowing job was only enough for rent and food, maybe now with UBI it'd be enough for rent, food, and the occasional dinner and a movie. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

But you're right, at least some people would definitely completely exit the work force. Well, that just means the salaries of the rest would go up. Simple economics. Does that mean that some working families can no longer afford to pay a new immigrant bottom dollar to mow their lawn and instead have to pitch in themselves? Maybe so. Is that so bad.

Okay, you say, but what about those working mothers that are barely making enough money to be able to afford the most basic child care while they make their income? Good news - UBI also helps THEM too so either they no longer need to work if all they're doing is getting by to keep a roof over the child's head, or they have enough extra to pay for the increase in child care.

I'm not saying "don't worry about, it'll all sort itself out". This is a very complex policy with millions of consequences to our societies - intended and unintended. A lot of research must be done, and also experimentation. But to say that with UBI everyone would be worse off is ridiculous bordering on propagandistic.
It may be possible to control the outcomes of property owner's greed with heavy taxation on non-owner occupied properties? Certainly it wouldn't work to leave rent increases uncontrolled as landlords would then just increase prices (in the UK at least).

Can you do a back of the envelope calculation to figure out how large those "more valuable but also more difficult to monetize" effects would be?

As I noted in the blog post you cited, most of this discussion is just meaningless verbiage. No one even attempts to quantify the the effects they claim are so important. (In the HN comments on that post, many people suggested such effects; the minute you crunch numbers they turn out to be tiny.)

It's the intellectual's dream lifestyle. One that used to be possible for writers and academics.

It still is possible - go live in a rural area, consume very little, and survive with bad internet (still vastly better than the no internet of previous eras). People just don't like to do it because of the low status it entails, and because they've grown used to modern consumption that they'd need to give up.

> I haven't seen anyone establish why Craig Wright would be lying.

If you don't understand, I'm actually in possession of 400 million dollars bound to a trust, not available to me until 2020, but if you send me your bank details and help me in current affairs I promise I'll compensate you with the 10 percent of the whole sum.

I'm also famous, maybe they'll even get me a Nobel prize, I'm playing I'm hard to get, anyway, and you can be too if you confirm that I proved to you too I'm the one who I claim to be. Think about it, there will be even a Hollywood movie about us. For the start, see I've already agreed for more exclusives.

And oh, I can help your case for introducing bigger blocks to Bitcoin. There's going to be this nice conference in NY where you can present your argument exactly on the first day of my "big announcement."
It's true that you may pay a fee of a few karma for such an opinion, but by and large the discussion itself stays civil and focused on the ideas themselves. This is a huge step up from the usual social violence that would follow in many places.

I'm impressed by both the community at the moderation that allows this to happen.

Vulkan and DirectX 12 are attempting to mitigate the driver problem by removing as much of the driver as possible.

I've always sort of suspected AMD's Mantle initiative, which grew into the above two technologies, was at least partly motivated by their inability to ship a driver with the same performance as nVidia's...
The more free money printing is going on, the more I'm incentivized to buy/use Bitcoins from my hard work's money. UBI centralizes power to the money printers even more, gives a little to those who don't work (for their votes), and takes even more money away from those who work. Still, this can go on only with central banking.
I have just purchased sames off Alibaba so the price per piece is pretty high. I would like to get the battery, controller and motor down to 100$ so then it would be $400 or $600 for the powertrain costs of the four and six wheeled versions. There is not reason to have a expensive arm board in the initial version so something like a beaglebone black could control the motors. Plus the frame costs. Thanks for the question.
That's mostly because expectations for what it takes to be middle class have gone up. Houses are bigger (much bigger). People have more cars. People expect to eat out more and have more entertainment options.
> Huge international US-based companies tend to comply with EU laws just fine

When they are operating their business within the EU, yes. For example US companies operating servers in the EU must comply with EU data protection laws regarding information on those servers. This situation is analogous. WhatsApp's servers are in the US so US law applies. If the servers were in the EU then EU law would apply, not Brazilian law.

I would argue following conventional "bias" and "rules of thumb" is exactly the opposite from the goal. YC has already picked plenty of "great teams" with "lots of "experience in the field". I would see this as the 10% exploration of a multi-armed bandit problem. Not to say that is what they intended but exploring alternate theories could help the process.
I'm not kidding. Unfavourability ratings don't decide elections (look at some historical ratings of previous presidents).

Trump and Clinton have been tied in national polls recently (there was even an outlier showing +3 Trump) and this is before he has started attacking her and before any debates. She's going down.
You slightly overstate the case, since VP9 can be decoded in hardware in various devices, though they are much less numerous than those with h.264 support.

What I'd personally rank as the #1 issue would be the refusal of Apple to support VP9 (Microsoft only recently having got on board) So a single file can't be used by your whole audience.

Even if Apple says yes today there's a lot of their legacy hardware out there.

So this leaves mostly high volume sites that have multiple encodes anyway, and can justify it on quality/bandwidth or those taking a moral stance on the issue, like wikipedia.

If you believe that the rich consume and the poor invest, then the best stimulus during times of recession is tax cuts for the rich. I take it this is your preferred policy for the next recession?

There is no particular reason investment has to come from rich people. That's just how western economies seem to work. As I noted, in Namibia, poor people do seem to invest new wealth.

Traditionally at least, classes in the UK were based on social status, not the amount of money you have.

For example, I've known impoverished upper middle class people, people who self identified as working class (e.g. drinking in the miners welfare) even though they had millions in the bank and not particularly well off upper-class people.

Edit: As might be expected, nothing about the class system in the UK is clear cut, consistent or particularly logical.

Yes, having a dedicated working space is very important. I think when you have people that work remote and cover their own working environment costs it is cheaper for the company on the whole.

But if the company is assisting remote work, e.g. paying for coworking space with an allowance that is probably still cheaper. Consider a team of 10... Even at a $200 / mo allowance for coworking that it still only 20~30% of what it would cost per month for a decent space in most major cities and there's no long term commitment.

So I think when you scale it out for small to medium teams it is cheaper and would be cheaper for a lot of startups that weren't already in a shared space.
Yes, I did read it. That's how people talk about products these days (unfortunately). But we didn't talk about it that much in case of tank-proof audi:

I did not find anything interesting or useful in this article.

Author just says, that OpenGL and "shaders as strings" are bad, without explaining why. Then author speaks about some mysterious "Heterogeneity" without specifying what it means.

"We need programming models that let us write one program that spans multiple execution contexts" - what does it mean? How should that model look like, how should it be different? It is like saying "cars with 4 wheels are bad, cars with different number of wheels would be better".
Yes, obviously the program needs to be revenue neutral for middle incomes, otherwise it is unaffordable. So for the average bloke in the UK who earns £30k and receives a £6.6k UBI in addition, taxes would have to be increased by 22 percentage points to balance.

So rather than 0%-20%-40% income tax bands, we are talking about 20%-40%-60% tax - which looks ridiculously high on the face of it, but has no effect on after-tax income of the average earner after the UBI.

Because of the shocking sticker effect of the taxes, my view is that it is a lot better to position UBI as "negative income tax for low earners" if you want to get it adopted...

From the Economist's article:

"About six months ago, before he was publicly outed in the technology press, he approached Andrew O’Hagan, a Scottish novelist who wrote an “unauthorised autobiography” of Julian Assange, the founder of the whistle-blower site WikiLeaks. Since then the author, whose most recent novel, “The Illuminations”, was longlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize, has had complete access to Mr Wright and his family, as well as to his research and business colleagues. Mr O’Hagan is writing a long article for the London Review of Books on Mr Wright and “his journey towards revealing his work.” (Mr O’Hagan, too, has come to be convinced that Mr Wright is Mr Nakamoto.)"

http://www.lrb.co.uk/2016/05/01/andrew-ohagan/the-search-for...

"Online exclusive · 1 May 2016: The full, long-form account will be published here later this month." "In a world exclusive for the London Review of Books, Andrew O’Hagan spent many months with Craig Wright, the man responsible for what Bill Gates has called ‘the technical tour de force of this generation’."

As I've already said in another comment, I can't wait reading O’Hagan's story. He should publish it even if he understands that he'll thus show how credulous he was.
