I've had an uber driver take the on-ramp instead of the side road beside the highway at the destination because the pin indicated it's a bit further ahead.. I guess it's my fault for not noticing (since I was in the front seat). Added 20min to the trip, good thing Uber refunded though. Seriously, driving + gps = zero common sense.
For what it's worth, Superdesk is in newsrooms in Norway, the UK and Australia. Our plan, though, is to get the same tools into developing countries. We believe newsrooms are the same no matter where you go, Basel to Bamako.
What's misleading? It's exactly my point. you're dying, and nothing else matters... except the iPad? To Musk I think a lot would still matter.

Remember, this is one of the very fee billionaires who never donated to a single charity, as far as we know. Totally his right, and I'm not judging. But Musk he is not.

I think UBI is untenable until we hit some Star Trekian post scarcity economy.

But if people could decouple income from location, people could move to cheaper housing. There are free houses in Detroit and Baltimore because there are no jobs and that area sucks. In a UBI-topia, people would leave Sf and move to Baltimore.

It is almost as though attempting to prosecute a homeless man who stole cheese and a couple sausages is not a wise use of the state's resources.
Another interesting price fact: the price of bulk wheat has stayed relatively constant in British pounds for the last 800 years or so, staying at about 1 pound per bushel. We've had more inflation in the price of wheat in the last ten years than we had in the previous 800. A bushel of wheat contains about 66,000 calories. So that laborer making 2£/year wouldn't be able to afford wheat -- that's one reason the food price list has a price for oats, but not bread or wheat.
This is satire.
Agreed, I'm all for basic income, and social safety nets. But stealing them, isn't the right answer either. The burden should be on the state to provide those necessities, not the local business owners.

It's a little hard to understand how this ruling won't cause a certain degree of chaos. Can any hungry, homeless person now steal food from any store in Italy without repercussion? Certainly as a matter of compassion, this ruling can be argued as being reasonable, but how can it work as a practical matter?

I strongly advise you against forming a limited in the UK. The setup cost might be low but if something unusual happens the fees for expert advice will eat you alive. Furthermore UK Ltd has a very bad reputation in mainland EU because they are used by many people who aren't allowed to form companies in they home countries (e.g. Germany) any more due to previous bancruptcies.

If you do it out of tax reasons and you are willing to take the risk of not being able to do any administrative "things" by going to a local government agency in the town where you live, then form an entity outside of EU for example in singapore.

Again, I'd suggest you start your first steps in business locally where you can talk to actual people. There are a lot of services available that can help you out in person.

Going to the bathroom is rarely a defining characteristic of a person. A persons job or career, however, is a large part of their identity.

By what they do and the motivation to do it (teachers, nurses, doctors that see it as a calling, versus those that see it as a job). By constraining their lives (same examples, nurses with 12 hour shifts 3 days a week, severely constrained and stressed, but then 4 days to decompress gives them some greater freedom to pursue other interests than a typical 9-to-5 employee, but the stress may be too much anyways). By defining who they're in contact with (constant contact with coworkers, do they become friends, enemies, merely people you work with). By defining how much time you can spend on holidays (1 week, 2 weeks, a month?), which determines what you can do with leisure time. Income levels, again defining what you can do with leisure time, or at least constraining it if income is too low.

Unless someone's going to the bathroom frequently or painfully due to a medical condition (IBS, kidney stones, bladder infection, etc.), they likely aren't finding their lives terribly constrained or defined by that element of their existence. So in a drama it has little value, perhaps more in a comedy depending on the sort of humor they're going for (see Family Guy).
>according to such logic, a homeless person could also invade my home and sleep in my bed, because he can't afford his own.

Not quite, a homeless person could invade an empty home and sleep in that bed. This is done all the time, and is somewhat covered by squatter's rights. It's currently assumed that greater than 15% of the world's population are squatters. [1]

Squatting is the action of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied area of land–or a building, usually residential–that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have lawful permission to use.

Author Robert Neuwirth suggested in 2004 that there were one billion squatters globally. He forecasts there will be two billion by 2030 and three billion by 2050.

Certainly true. However, note that the blue collar jobs you mention are "career" blue collar jobs. They occupy a different place in society than "just a job" blue collar roles. You don't often hear stories about heroic stock boys or shoe salesmen.
"even if we had a 9/11 attack every year, we would still be losing more people to car accidents and heart disease, and we don’t see the same expenditure of resources to respond to those more significant threats."

This has been bothering me for years, now. Once one realizes this apparent contradiction, it is one of those "how could I have missed that"-moments, but the media - who for better or worse lead or at least shape public discourse - never mention it. In Germany, more people die in car crashes every year than have been killed by terrorists in the ~70 years since the end of WWII. Yet everyone gets hysterical about the "terrorist threat" to a degree that makes public concern about car accidents look ... nonexistent. We never hear politicians declare the War on Cancer, even though that horrible disease brings immense suffering and far too often death to so many people.

Is it because people know that you cannot simply declare war on a disease and make it go away? Is it because people know that reducing the number of car accidents would require them to drive more carefully (a desirable result, but kind of hard to enforce)?

Are more afraid of terrorist attacks because it's just more people dying at the same time, the same place, in a common event, whereas car accidents happen one by one, scattered all over the country, all over the year?

NB that I am not dismissing terrorist attacks as harmless, nor am I trying to belittle the suffering of the victims. But the actual threat to Western societies that terrorist attacks pose makes the resources we put into fighting them look way out of proportion, especially since any talk about that underlying causes for terrorist attacks is either ignored by the mainstream media or denounced as some kind of heresy.

Not only are we "fighting" a minor target (in terms of deaths caused), we are also employing means that are not well-suited for this purpose. Kind of like the War on Drugs, now that I think of it.
I don't know if that's quite the same though. Assuming a just legal system (maybe that's a stretch) one is in jail as a consequence for their own actions. Therefore being in jail is of their own doing and the right thing to do is to accept their punishment for their actions. Being poor is not always a consequence of one's own actions or always within one's control.

Gleaning was more about allowing the poor to have inefficient access to the raw materials that with hard work could be made into food. Taking prepared food from a merchant would have still been a crime.

For example "People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry, but if he is caught, he will pay esevenfold;
he will give all the goods of his house."

Thanks for the suggestion on 3rd party login. I will implement it.
Your email address is your identity online - everything but everything assumes this. I have strong passwords and 2FA on my main account. If it was hacked, an attacker could (for example), reset my password for my national security vetting portal account. On there is available to anyone who has my login (no 2FA for this, obviously), forms which detail everything about me, my partner, my parents. My total, actual identity. I am compelled to use this service for the work that I do.

I hope neither it nor my email has any security breaches.
As a user, I really hate when a service doesn't allow me to create an account unless I tie it to Google or Facebook, neither of which I have nor want to have.
I love Angular 1.

When I looked at the Angular 2 beta a couple of months ago, you needed to add es6 shim, angular 2 polyfills, systemjs and rxjs as well as Angular 2, just to get up and running and have a basic Hello World.

Contrast this to Angular 1, where the library on it's own with no dependencies will suffice.

Is this still the case? Are there plans to package Angular2 as a single minified GZipped library?

Thanks

What you've described is more akin to gathering discarded food in the back of supermarkets and restaurants, not taking it (stealing) from the rightful owner.
That's absurd. Being subject to incessant advertising doesn't make you need a movie or beyond responsibility for your own actions.

No one is saying this guy isn't responsible for stealing food, the court is saying he ought not to be punished for it given his particular circumstances.

EDIT: I'll concede this may not apply to toddlers.
I thought so, but there's even author page: http://www.theregister.co.uk/Author/3144 , and no indication anywhere - looks like defamation case then :)
Considering Italy is a welfare-style state, this just opens up cannoli snatching and such instead of going to whatever socialized or charitable shelters and services. Unhealthy high sugar and high caffeine foods will be in demand by snatchers.

Ironically, this is going to hurt the working poor the most who work at low margin restaurants, retail shops, etc as people just grab whatever they want because there is no more law protecting them. It also seems like a good way to get into beatings or even knife fights as small business owners and workers get fed up with thieves and now have an apathetic police that won't protect them. Those in high volume areas like food stands at train stations will feel the brunt of this, meanwhile I suppose the kinds of restaurants an Italian judge dines at won't even notice. If Italy wants to expand its welfare state benefits, then it should do that through its legislature via taxation, not via judiciary decree attacking its poorest workers. If the Italian poor can't find these socialized benefits then someone needs to ask by the welfare state is so inefficient and find a way to fix that.

More than likely the unintended consequences will be chasing out 'poor looking' people from various shops as retailers fear legal theft. Now the poorest won't be able to buy things they need and they won't have the resources to fight this discrimination via a lawsuit. On top of that, there's no Hollywood style theft where you just steal bread cooling itself on the window sill. It will involve breaking and entering, fights with the shop owner, collateral damage (a child trampled during a chase), tempers leading to weapons use, incentivizing snatching expensive food to be sold on the black market, and other issues.

Its obvious no one thought this through. What if a hungry person decided to smash up a €5,000 vending machine to get a sandwich or a coffee? Does the Italian government pay for the repairs? I imagine it won't. This is a bad ruling for Italian small business.
I'm responding to exactly what you're complaining about:

> > But the company absolutely does not give a damn about their impact on the people around them.

As mentioned repeatedly, that's an honest impression from a year of constant engagement. I have in no way said it is AirBnB policy to not give a damn, simply that as someone who has attempted to engage the company about these matters, they appear to not give a damn.

> Those add no information

I very much disagree that the resulting impression does not add value, and HN would seem to agree, as evidenced by the HN community's reactions to your post.

People can and do post impressions of services on HN, and have for some time. Part of handling yourself properly is not only avoiding impropriety but also the appearance on impropriety: being told not to post my impressions of a company that is incompetent enough they've repeatedly stated they cannot match an address to a listing looks very poor when YC has a financial interest in the company.

Respectfully, you were wrong on this one.
I'm not sure if I would classify the protagonist of Lillyhammer an "ordinary person" doing "everyday stuff".

(I do, however, very highly recommend the series. I've only seen Season 1, but it was fantastic, and the character's slow immersion into the local language and culture was very well done.)
Funny you should mention demographics and House of Cards - it was literally created because Netflix's data suggested that many subscribers enjoyed the Social Network (Fincher), Kevin Spacey movies and the British version of House of Cards.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/25/business/media/for-house-o...

It's not demographics in the traditional sense, but make no mistake - Netflix and the like do not create unique pieces of art just because they feel like it. They are also making a show to fit a market, just with better data.

> it's an echo chamber for older, more conservative folk.

I'm not so sure about that. One of the best shows I saw last year, Mr. Robot, was made by the USA Network, of all people.
I'd call it average-ish at best. It's not as bad as C, but it's not as strong as Haskell, which is a high bar to meet.

However, if you write things idiomatically and use a bit of thought, it's not hopeless, either. You can write type-safe nodes with interfaces, for instance:

type ArithExpr struct {
Op ArithOp
L ArithNode
R ArithNode
}

where ArithNode is definitely an interface (implemented by ArithExpr) and ArithOp may be, depending on your mood. "Pattern matching" can not be perfectly replicated, especially if you deeply match, but "run this on ArithNodes recursively" is actually not that hard to express. Invert the pattern matching into method calls; it isn't a perfect translation but it hits many of the use cases. Modest cleverness in the methods may be helpful, for instance, it may be helpful for all nodes to implement a "RunOnNodeIfArithNode" method that usually does nothing, and only works on ArithNodes, to avoid a lot of assertions and checking in the core algorithms, that sort of thing. Don't try to port a pattern-matching approach, use the native stuff you've actually got. In the end I can't promise you'd never have any type assertions, but it should be possible to write a compiler that isn't drenched in them.

Still not my first choice, though. Might prefer it over Python, though; it would certainly be more verbose but the way I'd use the strong typing would probably make up for that in safety.
Ever more vigilance against the possibility of negative reactions is the way we got to so many negative reactions to begin with. There's no good future that comes from this way of living except more of what produced it.

In reality it was a cleverly marketed way of ensuring old people did not continue to live in utter destitution, given that a substantial proportion of the population even of "wealthy" countries are unable - not unwilling - to save enough to retire without ending deep into poverty.
One of the take-aways I really liked seeing in the article was the amount of effort put satisfying regulation - it might be seen as hand-holding by the company - getting the FDA, Ag Department, and CDC to all agree and sign off - but as noted, new tech often is in advance of regulations. If the science is sound, I'm all for trying to get good pathways to market. This looks like one of those examples.
technically this is not true
It's really Old World, New World and Other, which was labelled "The Third World". It's not supposed to be ordinal.

Media is advertising supported ( mostly still ) and it's therefore targeted at the New World, which breeds this curious resentment. But if one of these Worlds is to be the Second, I'd think it would be the New World.
Wow, I cannot believe this is not the Onion!
It definitely makes a nice headline, it might work in this specific case. Damn it might even work in an utopian world where everyone is absolutely honest and has high moral standards.

But applied widely in real world, it's just won't work. There are too many people who would exploit such a system and cause chaos.
So do you think, then, that the homeless should forego food until the state steps in out a principled concern for the free market?

Probably because our history and collective cultural values are very different in that regard. And we don't have, like, actual royality.

The US has a very "anyone can get rich" kind of cultural ethos so it makes sense our definitions would be very different.

There's also a distinction between upper class and the "frigging filthy rich" (salary in the millions) in the US. Lately they've been called "the 1%."

That's really interesting as a libertarian to hear that sort of perspective. It's so reversed from how I see things. To me, you have a vote which has an infinitesimal chance of swaying the election, and then you hope that the candidate you voted for appoints a fed chair you like. Further, you hope that fed chair does a good job, and that their policies are correct. If not, you have to wait four years for to give the same input.

With Bitcoin, you just...don't use Bitcoin. If you're invested at the point somebody does something you don't like, sell off. Presumably the ones on top are heavily invested themselves and will feel a massive sell off in their bottom line.

All that said, the different power structure I was talking about is one where nobody has that kind of power to begin with. That there is somebody at the top at all is a failure, IMO.
Surely the real reason for this is that the judiciary doesn't want to give anyone a reason to write a new version of 'Les Miserables'
