>Sure, you can, since the watchmaker god precisely is one of the many mythical figures people make him out to be.

Or it could be magical fairies with magical universe creating powder. You can't claim something without something to support the claim. My fairies with magical fairy universe creating powder is just as plausible as any god in this scenerio.

Also if it manifests in the universe it is at least detectable. We might not know the cause but we can see the "supernatural" event taking place in the universe
Yes they let you the option to grandfather the old plan, like they did when they reduced from the original SkyDrive with 25GB.

I currently have 140GB free (15 original + 15 camera roll + 10GB loyalty (+ 100GB bing bonus you would get with Bing rewards, this one expires at some point))

I find it nice that they let you keep the old free plans

I know Gattaca is a favorite of many people I had a fairly negative reaction to it.

Vincent has bad genes and he's trying to get in to the Space Program. That's not Sci-Fi, that's the actual Space Program, at least NASA's and always has been. As one example, bad eyes genes? No space travel for you!

And why shouldn't it be that way? It costs billions of dollars to put people in space. Seems like it would be irresponsible not to stack the deck toward success from every possible dimension. Sure some guy with a genetically diagnosed bad heart has some chance his heart will hold out but it seems practically criminal for him to risk the mission and all his fellow astronauts lives on a known diagnosis of high risk.

Even today AFAIK US fighter pilots also effectively have gene based selection.

Although hey, to keep it relevant it sure would be awesome if they could correct the genes as an adult. Need 20/20 vision get this gene therapy. Need a good heart get that gene therapy...

What abstractions are you referring to? If you're using traits and writing your functions with generics there shouldn't be any overhead, other than the increased number of instructions, but this is no different than C++ generics. There are trait objects, but these come up somewhat less often then you would think, and have the same performance as using abstract classes/polymorphism in C++. But maybe you're referring to something else?

Zooko's triangle
Tarrifs on any goods coming from countries whose environmental and labor laws do not match or exceed our own.

What good are our laws to protect our environment when the goods that are sold here destroy some other part of the world?

What good are our labor laws when your sneakers are made by a ten year old across the oscean?

Don't like tarrifs? Then raise your standards to ours. It's not protectionism, you can lower these barriers with a few pieces of legislation. It's on them to fix the problem not us.

Fair trade not free trade.

Sure, the watchmaker god is not distinguishable from lots of other things, but that's different than it conflicting with all mythical portrayals of god (which it can't do since it is one such portrayal.)

For real time collision detection it is sufficient to rotate an object after you have applied linear motion and collision. If you want the rotation to be more accurate you have to divide the timestep.
This is real. Thanks for the post.
This implies that they're not wealthy because they don't have access, would you agree? Is it possible they're not wealthy because of some other reason?
"Individuals and interactions" is not saying "hire good people", although I can see why you could read it that way. I've always understood it to be saying, "Get people together in a room and talk and figure out what to do", instead of "rigidly follow an arbitrary process".

For example, let's say that we did some project planning a month back, which says that we should start on a certain new project tomorrow. Everyone on the team is grumbling and no longer feels like that's a wise expenditure of resources. What should we do? Stick to our goal and follow the process, or get people together, work it out, and set new goals? Agile is saying, especially when you consider other bullets like "Responding to change over following a plan", that people subscribing to the Agile Manifesto value getting individuals together, collaborating, and responding to change more than following their plan.
> seem serverless to me

Why do you feel the need for yet another marketing buzzword ? IMHO saying that makes one sound like an someone that don't know what a server is, but maybe it's just me. Just because you're not managing a server doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it obviously does, the code isn't running on each client but remotely.
I like this. Everything I've learned about charity seems to indicate that in most cases, giving people who need money, money... is the way to go. Being able to examine the impact of a basic income in my view, is an additional benefit.

Neither is lawyering, that's his point. Lawyers do not (usually) create value, they protect it, same as the hackers he is talking about.

I am referring to trait objects, and I use those pretty extensively (although I limit my usage because I am making games and want to avoid a pointer dereference). For libraries you might not need them as much, but I definitely find their convenience indespensible for application side programming.
Actually, the real current space program doesn't exclude people with bad genotype, it excludes people with bad phenotype or inadequated demonstrated abilities. (Which are more or less loosely correlated with genetics, but not the same thing as genetics.)

> Even today AFAIK US fighter pilots also effectively have gene based selection.

No, again, its phenotype and abilities, not genotype, on which selection is based.
Tech slowdown threatens the american dream
Been working, slowly-but surely in terms of writing my own blog engine (static generator) and then publishing to gh-pages, but was considering using discus for comments... thinking of doing something similar as a docker contained service that I can throw up on my dokku server.

TBH, the thought of managing the attack surface of comments is kind of scary... Will definitely be referring back to this.

Outside referencing Colbert and race issues as concepts, I don't think both are similar in any way.

The author was as incredulous as Colbert in the clip about the hot sauce assertion. Outside that, he isn't mentioned beyond the first paragraph.

The article is about the fact that labels are entirely contextual, and therefore inaccurate as assertions. It is about seeing beyond labels, not reacting to them.

Disclaimer: I wrote the article, and my friend - also mentioned in the article - posted it here. Happy to have a conversation about it. :)
Bitbanging hasn't gone away. If you want to write assembler on an 8-bit micro, you can do it on a $4 dev board. That board can run on AA batteries and be embedded into other projects. If you want to spin your own boards, you can get 10cm*10cm boards from China for less than a dollar.

We are living in a golden age of hardware hacking. Modern computers aren't particularly amiable to bare-metal programming, but we have truly incredible microcontrollers available at very low cost. We also have excellent gratis and libre toolchains for microcontroller development.

Once you have a little experience working with microcontrollers, you realise the incredible possibilities available to us today. The ZX Spectrums and C64s we loved haven't gone away, they've just turned into tiny chips that cost less than a newspaper.
Also worth considering are countries where a large portion of the economy is based on family members sending remittances back from the United States (or other country). In a sense, they already have a form of basic income for the people who remain at home.
lol. That is definitely not the reason and many of those things are not necessarily practical for working-class people (like taking Uber everywhere)
Not all birds fly the same way, in the same regions, at the same altitudes. Balds eagles tend to soar and hunt in places we like to put wind turbines. Small birds tend to move smaller distances, often in about 100m around a water source.
I listened all the way up to the 90s. I have to wonder how this chart is determined. While obviously many of the popular songs of the period trend, there are some places where it doesn't seem right. For example Michael Jackson's Thriller never broke #3, and MJ barely made the top ten week chart until BAD came out. That can't be right. I checked Wikipedia and it says all MJ songs from that album made #1.

Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution during my commute over the last month (and to a degree Masters of Doom) it is distracting to see the word "hacker" in relation to cyber attacks/espionage. When I was growing up hacker always meant someone who broke into computer systems/networks, then I started hearing about hacking actually meaning something else originally and of course in more recent years with hacker news, hardware hacking and other usage of the word becoming more popular "hacker" seemed to take back its original meaning. Now after listening to some books that only use the word under its original meaning it is hard to take articles seriously that use it in relation to breaking into systems. When I saw the title of this article I misunderstood their usage of "hackers" /rant
> I agree that castigating all attorneys is going to far, but this comes dangerously close to two fallacies; that because it's legal, it's moral (namely that you can divorce your moral responsibility because you're acting in the letter of the law) and that you were just "following orders." If the consequence of failing to take advantage of loopholes is lawsuits for malpractice then that indicates a problem in itself. As a corporate lawyer you have to put yourself as an ethical person first, a lawyer second.

"If it's legal it's moral" is fallacious in general, but not as applied to lawyers. Their role in the system is not to assert their independent moral judgment, but to represent their client while staying within the letter of the law and protecting the integrity of the process.

You've actually got the "following orders" hypothetical backward. A soldier should not follow an illegal order. But he is not empowered to pass moral judgment and ignore a legal one. Lawyers are the same way.

I just watched the People v. OJ Simpson. Here's a man who was clearly guilty of a heinous crime. Yet, his lawyers' job was not to pass moral judgment on him, but to represent him. It was their ethical obligation to try and exonerate their client by exploiting every shred of doubt so long as they did nothing to undermine the integrity of the process (lying to the Court, etc).
Endorsed vs official are two different things. There are many style guides (and some don't agree with the entire John Papa style guide leaving room for reasonable debate)
Have you considered if your instinctive discomfort with group identities might make it difficult to understand the genuine differences in mindsets and worldviews that arise between different groups of people? I ask because it seems that people who reflexively dismiss the importance of groups can make as many errors in judgement as those who reflexively adhere to group identities.
> This implies that they're not wealthy because they don't have access, would you agree? Is it possible they're not wealthy because of some other reason?

Two things:

(1) opportunity for wealth building is only one, of many, reasons for BI, and
(2) It is certain that for some portion of the population, additional income will not be sufficient for notably better wealth building. But its equally certain that some portion of the population that would net benefit from BI is held back solely by short-term resources.
Actually it does due to the very fundamental principle of economy: the same goods will have different utilities, and hence different values to each individual human being (and why trading IS creating value).

2000 calories to a starving person helps them alive, which translate to more wealth they can generate later on. 2000 calories to fat people is worth much less, if not harmful. Capital is just an abstraction of goods, and certainly their usage will have vastly different effectiveness depending on situation.
Same issue with Australia. Too much of the economy involves digging up rocks and flipping houses.
Money is not wealth - it is debt. That's what the fundamental purpose of money is: instead of trading your stuff for other things, you trade it for a certain value of things at an unspecified later time.

With this perspective, there's no distinction between micro and macro contexts for money. It's all a unit of account for how the economic output of a society gets distributed. Transferring money from one group to another is the exact same thing as transferring real goods and services, except that the recipient gets to choose what slice of the economic pie to receive (by paying for it).
I had the feeling that Cringely was trying to channel Steve Jobs and it didn't work out.

Those answers are bizarre. Use a t-test or z-test?! That is both less interpretable* and less efficient than doing a test of difference in proportions (based on a chi-squared) or better yet, doing a generalized linear regression with a binomial link which lets you test multiple interventions and include covariates and other things. These are little harder than using a t-test and work much better.

(Of course, even better would be a Bayesian decision analysis which takes into account the full posterior distribution, costs, and benefits, allowing one to decide whether the evidence is enough to justify the more expensive box or whether one should extend the experiment further to collect more data.)

* quick, if conversions are 0.25%, what does a 0.1SD mean difference between arms of an A/B test mean? 'Uh...' Exactly.
You could start by making option pools bigger than 10% for employees. Right now facebook is work 340B and has 13k employees that's about 26M per employee. Adding an extra 10% for employees that went deeper into the workforce would have transferred a lot of wealth.
Are you going or have you gone through that program? If so, how much time per week do you spend on it? I work a full time job, I have a family, and I'm looking for a master's program.
Maybe. But to refuse to rent to specific men based on their race? No that is not (or should not be) acceptable.
It seems the root issue is AirBnb is just facilitating, and the actual owners can and do choose who they let in their house (i.e. discriminate). While it's unfortunate and unfair, I'm not sure what regulatory environment could help with individuals. Perhaps allow reviews for people who could not rent a place?
Russian pilots loved it. British and American pilots, not so much.
If the babel/webpack builds happen before deployment to Lambda, I'm not sure it really matters at this point... once we see Node > 7 or so drop, with ES6 module support, it might then be time to consider dropping babel, but it's going to be around a while, and still nicer in a lot of ways than alternatives.

Overall the basic income idea... I don't like it in a lot of ways, I just can't see it resulting in a productive society personally. But that's just my gut reaction and I could be wrong, so far the data I've seen is a pretty mixed bag.

I think things like this are a great way to experiment with it though (and without tax payer money). I might change my mind if there's more good data.
There is something wrong with the opening crawl for the Force Awakens
What you posted is a recap of all of the announcements in the Original Article.
Are these apples relevant to an issue affecting oranges?
Why? Because the "host" is inviting people to stay in their home. I'd be totally justified in deciding that a user looks difficult to deal with (perhaps they look young and it's near a party time, or perhaps their other reviews indicate they're "difficult").

AirBNB isn't going to make everything right between two unknown parties. Minor hassles can add up into a major headache. Plus there's a lot of social pressure on reviews (both ways), so even that seems like limited recourse.

Edit: To clarify, I'm responding to why they should be able to refuse any guest.
Is violence in an Airbnb apartment exclusively by black people? Does violence not happen in hotels? I'm having a hard time finding the relevance.
> I certainly would never use a third party collision library because I think collisions are simple enough

Ehhh, I haven't seen a really good, super robust solution for mesh vs. mesh. Deciding whether two meshes collide is simple enough, but robustly pulling out associated information like overlap volumes, penetration depths, etc gets pretty hairy pretty quickly - you start running into similar problems to mesh booleans.
Well changing the main focus of human existence from making profit and consumption to something else will help a lot :)
So, this is a redesign. I was told that old Windmills (used for milling) evolved to have an even number of removable blades. This allowed the mill to continue operating, while repairing a damaged blade -- simply remove the opposing blade, during repairs.
The point of OP's link is that the novelty of systemd is that you can compose chains of dependencies and how that saves time and effort.

So why should it be a common operation for the enduser to start and stop a list of related services? Instead of having to type and remember them individually, I should add a BindTo line in my service files and let systemd handle it. It's like the frontend for systemd is optimizing for a situation that it is supposed to prevent.

And anyway, there's no unixy reason the variadic argument couldn't be in the middle. cp, for example, has

<command name> <options> <variadic list of files to copy> <single dir to copy to>
The one piece of actual research in this is about discrimination against "black sounding" names. In one quoted tweet the guy mentions having to use his middle name.

Has it occurred to anyone that the main issue here might be people with deliberately weird names, and not race per se?

If you are named Rainbow, Adolf, Cletus, or LaQuan, I'm going to conclude (from experience) your mother and you are both probably crazy.
I feel suddenly motivated to work on my telnet bbs to put this to use... :-)
Yep, well aware and utilize plenty of linting. Javascript style is one thing, Angular (amongst other frameworks) leave much room for different styles of structure, modularization, dos/don'ts. It's important to agree on one set of framework styles as a team otherwise consistency of patterns could be a nightmare. Having an official style guide (which didn't exist with Angular 1) simplifies this...
Yeah, that's genuinely an issue - attention span and commitment - but, within that issue though, is the root that I think a lot of Millenials feel 'disenfranchised' (not the biggest fan of the term but it works) from the system. As in, they (rightly?) feel the system doesn't represent them. So there's no point in participating. So the wheel of indifference keeps spinning.

Now, contrast that with a platform that directly says something like this:

"We aim to create legislation and change laws to benefit you, and odds are your parents or anybody over the age of 50 aren't going to like what we propose because it's good for you, even if it's not good for older people. They had 40 years of voting and they voted everything for themselves - well, we've paid attention and we're going to use that manual to reset the lay of the land a little."

From there, policy and platform papers can be constructed with moderate (capping interest on student loans as % of income) or extreme (Federal Income Tax penalties for anyone working over the age of 55) or batshit crazy (de-fund the DEA).

It's somewhere to start, because the apathy is kind of what the political system counts on from the youth.
Inviting someone into your home is not just a business transaction.
If you allow refusals for any reason, then someone can always pick an "acceptable" reason and not much you can do about it.
I'd even argue that I was a prick. But since we are having the discussion anyhow, it would have been more academic or well..open, to see more entropy in his post. Less a vote with an emotion and more that plus a few lines of profession? But either way I skirt the line of freedom vs censorship..what makes some bytes of text inherently have more meaning than others if in basic english and comprehensible.

I just finished setting up my personal site with Hugo+S3+Lambda yesterday. Lambda runs Hugo when the S3 bucket detects a file change, takes about 5000 ms per blog post which is fractions of a penny.
