Complexity in CSS itself does not significantly increase the attack surface if the complexity is contained to rendering and layout. There are potential privacy issues in CSS (such as the loading of assets from external URLs, e.g., fonts with @font-face), and I expect there are extensions that block any attempt to perform HTTP requests from CSS to prevent browser fingerprinting.

But JavaScript can do a lot more, even if you disallow it to make HTTP requests; it has access to all of the modern APIs included in the browser. CSS on the other hand is still mostly a declarative language that does not allow for much dynamic cleverness.

Further Future – 'Burning Man for the 1%': the desert party for the tech elite
I bet you anything there are people who love collecting garbage. Driving huge trucks, being in tune with the scale of human life, seeing the guts of the city, routine... some people love that kind of thing. Where I'm from, there are people who go around picking up trash at the local park out of personal fulfillment in their spare time. They enjoy making the park beautiful.

Where do you read me assigning more value to STEM work? You're totally injecting that into what I wrote.

On the contrary, I'm saying that all work can be fulfilling, not just STEM work. But all work can also be degrading if it forces people to compromise themselves unreasonably.
This is a long running debate among scholars. The main "cause" of the decline appears to be the expansion of other historical narratives. The OP has a link to "Military Histories Old and New: A Reintroduction" [1] by Robert Citino (2007) which goes over this theory.

That said, I think the War Is Boring post is pretty lazy. "Why Don't More Colleges Teach Military History?" (2008) by Justin Ewers published in US News and World Report [2] covers the same ground but with a more objective viewpoint including mentioning the work of John Lynn from the University of Illinois.

Lynn has written extensively about the disappearance of Military History from most colleges, beginning in 1997 with "The Embattled Future of Academic Military History" [3] and more recently in 2008 with "Breaching the Walls of Academe: The Purposes, Problems, and Prospects of Military History."

All they said was morality doesn't set prices for labor. Buyers of labor do (market).
Yes, but that is not an exclusive political/politcal-correctness phenomenon, so it's not particularly interesting. This is a universal phenomenon in all walks of life. This is a phenomenon experienced by liberals in deeply conservative areas. This is a phenomenon experienced by atheists in deeply religious areas.
Web Project Management: Making a Plan
Do you really not believe that some people would start having children for the sole purpose of income if there was suddenly a program that provided people with $10,000 per year in cash for every child they have?

Having children for financial benefits is a real thing.

It's not just something people accuse the poor of for the purpose of hate (although it is commonly used in such a way).

It's usually not as direct as "let me have this kid so I can get my rebate check", but it's certainly a consideration for many people who are poor. The mentality is more along the lines of "I can't make it by myself, but as a family, we might be able to sustain ourselves".

Most people are aware that it will probably end up costing them more in the long run, but people do crazy things in desperate times.

Can't we just taper it "on" and see what the effects are? For instance, in the first year everybody gets 10% UBI, second year 20% UBI, etc. until 100% UBI.

If by year 10 the economy still functions as desired, we keep UBI. Otherwise we taper it off again.
10 years ago I wrote a thing called PG'OCaml which integrates OCaml and SQL in a type safe way. You write code like:

PGSQL(dbh) "insert into employees (name, salary, email)
values ($name, $salary, $?email)"

and it (at compile time) creates the correct PREPARE+EXECUTE pair and checks types across the languages. (It's not obvious but it is also free of SQL injections.)

For example if your OCaml 'salary' variable was a string but the column is an int then the above program wouldn't compile. If you change the type of the db column after compiling the program then you get a runtime error instead.

Still around although now maintained by a group of authors: http://pgocaml.forge.ocamlcore.org/ (git source: https://github.com/darioteixeira/pgocaml)

It's only possible because OCaml has real macros. It wouldn't be easy to do this in C/C++ (I guess? - maybe with an LLVM-based pre-processing parser or something)
I don't understand your problem with the research/article. All they are claiming is that short intense intervals produce comparable improvement in aerobic fitness and metabolic variables as longer endurance exercise, in untrained young men. This is supported by many other studies.

It doesn't try to prove that they will be equally good at running 10K, or have the same 'mental' benefits. That's a separate issue.

Think about all the people that are unable or unwilling to exercise like you do. Is it nonsense that they could significantly improve their health with short intense exercise? Who cares about fast and slow twitch fibres.
Antitrust and Aggregation
Sure, as I acknowledged in my above post, if you're comfortable with a situation where everybody living in social housing in London is forced to relocate to a different part of the country and severely disabled people are substantially poorer in pure cash terms than before, then you can replace all those programmes with a flat subsidy of £550 per month (or slightly less than the average London room rental in a shared house) and find some way of recovering the remaining additional £140bn cost through increases to gross taxes that leaves lower middle class single people at least no worse off.

Otherwise you need a flat subsidy much higher than £550 per month to properly replace the existing subsidy in all parts of the country, which would cost an awful lot more in taxes and make it a very comfortable living in other parts of the country.
Are you from the UK, would you call David Beckham (say) Upper Class?

He's as wealthy as they come but pretty clearly working class IMO.
For the correct pay, yes.

Some jobs aren't paid enough for people to do and still afford to live. Basic income actually fixes that by giving people a baseline to live off, upon which their salary can build.

Interesting to compare this semantic map with the semantic maps that Mikolov's Word2vec processes produce and Word2vec's resultant semantic vector math (King - Man + Woman ~= Queen).

OK, so you introduce UBI. Yay! Now what happens to all the social workers employed by the city (say, SF)? Remember: SF spends ~$35K/homeless/year. Who pays when a homeless guy ODs and needs hospitalization? Right now government housing is subsidized for the poor (some people in SF pay $35/mo for a 2BR government apartment). Do we still have these subsidies after UBI? What about food stamps? And the 10M+ illegal immigrants?

C4 isn't a liquid so it isn't on their radar (luckily dogs & machines can detect it). When travelling back to the UK from France, they wouldn't let me take a bike bottle with 80ml of water in it (for my medication), the bottle had measurements on the side for adding supplements. But, it was ok to carry some cheese for my mother.

The explosive element of C4 is RDX, RDX causes seizures when ingested in small doses. Plus, a key ingredient is Nitric acid - I don't fancy trying any. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDX#Toxicity

Interesting fact: The US produced 15,000 tons of RDX per month during World War 2, gives you some idea of the level of destruction during that period.

Abolish all welfare, phase out social security, and have the poor rely on private charities. If people don't want to donate to the charities that's their choice, it's their money. You're not entitled to money, food, a home, or a job -- you're entitled to nothing. You're entitled to starve in the gutter. If you want something more you have to earn it or have someone voluntarily agree to give it to you out of their own free will.
Yeah, that's what happened. You can be an excellent welder but I don't think I've ever seen such a character on television. Being successful = white collared work and upward mobility.
The more I think about it the more I realize the Drupal question is brilliant. I was thinking that depending on the engineering manager the "correct" answer could be either.

The rest are kind of ridiculous.

Among creative folks, there actually is a strong aversion to working in marketing/advertising. Most writers/artists consider such a career to be "selling out." It's their equivalent to engineers working on weapons technology.

Regarding Google: They work on a ton of products that genuinely make the world a better place. Gmail, google search, google news etc etc. That does give the company as a whole a halo.

Regarding Facebook: I somewhat agree with you that social media in general is overrated, but many others do genuinely believe that it improves their quality of life. I may not buy it myself, but Facebook can make a strong case for how they are making the world a better place by better connecting people.

Nice. A good reminder that you don't always need dozens of nested divs to get some effect in HTML. Not that anyone should start rendering flags as single-div tags in their production code (just use SVG!), but it helps to illustrate the possibilities of CSS, and the ::before and ::after pseudo elements.

I find that we developers are so used to pandering to the lowest common denominator of supported browsers (a holdover from the IE6 days I suppose?), that we forget that there is a lot of really cool CSS we can use in all sensible modern browsers today.
Shameless (US version on showtime) is the best depiction of working-poor contrasted with middle class on TV today.
It would seem to me that this is just a consequence of specialization and the fracturing of large fields into smaller fields. "War" is a vague term that encompasses a lot of specific contemporary subfields that didn't exist / didn't have institutional academic recognition 100 years ago.

You can sort of observe the same phenomenon in philosophy (less interest by non-experts). As science, economics, and other fields "grew up," branched off from philosophy, and became their own fields, the old "broad" field grew less popular.

(and I say this as someone with a philosophy degree, still extremely interested in philosophy, and still a firm believer in its importance)

I wonder how big of a basic income you could pay out while keeping the distortion from the basic income about the same size as the distortion from the replaced programs.

Later: Which is not intended as more than hand-wavy thinking out loud. Regardless of the impact, a basic income is a political pipe dream in the US. More immediate improvements in quality of life might come from better aligning incentives in the healthcare system and fixing cliffs in existing programs.
Sure, but not everyone can get into Facebook or Google. They take the best of the best (we can argue whether that's true or not, but that's the perception). Do startups really need Google-level developers, or just competent journeymen?

It sounds more like startups are outbidding each other, not Facebook or Google.
When they turn 18 they are already going to have access to the BI. I'm not sure of the benefit of a fund rather than directing it to school funding.

It's in the best interest of HN to not mess this experiment up by picking great ideas that never go anywhere. Because if the experiment fails YC won't repeat it. I really do consider it obvious (e.g. unnecessary to explore) that the skills and abilities of the founders are extraordinarily important in judging potential startups. At such an early stage for these companies, the biggest killers of the startups are going to be the founders just giving up / not prioritizing well (e.g. not going out there and talking to users, etc.).
I'm voting for Starty McStartupface.
I fear it will only increase inflation to a level that the 10k people get is representing about the same in goods as the current level is they have. Free money is fake: it doesn't work in my opinion. It either increases the price level (hey - even the poor bum gets 10k a year, so he can afford a $10 bread, isn't it?) or it will stop people from over-achieving. My motivation to earn extra with a job only to see it go to taxes would reduce significantly if I can remain at the same level without a job and just 2 or 3 extra kids :)
Work is not War (not even at startups)
The only way for this approach to work would be to define the metrics of "success" before starting this taper process. Also, it would need to be implemented in such a way that makes the process unstoppable.

Otherwise, it will be nearly impossible to taper "off" in the event of a failure.

It's easy to start giving people money that they never had, but once they have a taste, it's going to be hard to take it away.

The term "mother" fucker, may not insinuate fucking ones mother to you - perhaps you are desensitised to it, but to others from different cultures, countries it can be more / less offensive.

“Cheers,” which ran for 11 seasons on NBC, starting in 1982, was the first great hangout show: neutralizing the depiction of class and removing the pressures of work. Life is hard enough, “Cheers” said; let’s just make TV. Ever since, television started taking it easier on us. Bill Clinton was in the White House, and the economy had improved. On “Seinfeld,” “Living Single,” “Friends,” “Ellen,” “It’s Like, You Know,” “Sex and the City,” “Girlfriends” and, much later, “Happy Endings” and “New Girl,” the commingling, childless men and women might have had jobs, but almost none had consequential careers. How many jobs did Elaine and George have on “Seinfeld”? And in how many fields? And Kramer — how was he paying to live across the hall from Jerry? Hangout shows placed friendship above family, obviating the typical economic ecosystem. Belonging to a family of friends probably means you only have to support yourself.

TV became — and still is — a medium struggling to understand “average,” “ordinary,” “normal.”

Why would you go into any of these shows expecting anything resembling reality. They are all clearly entertainment in the form of light drama and inconsequential, whitewashed sexual tension. To expect anything else is to set yourself up for failure.

Deeper shows exist - The Wire, Breaking Bad, House of Cards - but headlining TV shows are not created to address issues anymore. The shows reflect the main demographics of TV watchers, because that's what keeps them watching, and that's what generates ad revenue. So I'm not too concerned with the state of TV - it's an echo chamber for older, more conservative folk.

Flexbox Grid: A grid system based on the flex display property
I think the author may have a conservative bias. For example, he writes: "The proposal died in part because of liberal opposition to a work requirement and obstruction by a well-organized welfare lobby, Moynihan would later write." If it's got a work requirement it's not really minimum income, is it? It certainly doesn't have the same properties as one - far from reducing bureaucracy, the proposal in question would've created a whole new bureaucracy around making sure people were working or seeking work and penalizing them if the bureaucrats decided they weren't trying hard enough. Oh, and it was specifically aimed at replacing welfare for single moms at a time of massive unemployment.

Basically, the reason he sees Basic Income as something of particular interest to conservatives is that he's hijacking the term to describe conservative policies of trying to punish people into work regardless of how realistic it is for them to find a job.

The problem is not inflation. It happens already. The problem is the new money created causing the inflation is given to the asset holders and banks, not to everyone.

Rent increases now, due to inflation. The general public have to give more despite not getting the created money. Landlords got the benefit of rising rent due to inflation and rising housing price due to lower interest rate to create more money.

Basic income just shifts the inflated money to everyone instead of just the asset holders.

No, all money will devalue with the increase in supply and increase in labor costs. That's pretty basic economics.

No, that's not what people did back in the day. Those who managed lived off advances from their publishers, inheritance, sponsors, or Church sinecures. It's not possible nowadays. You need to promote your works and it became much less socially acceptable.

That's the direct counterargument to most BI hopes. Of course, it's very difficult to verify empirically and mostly depends on what you already believe about human nature. We don't even know if Joey Hess is more or less productive than he would be otherwise.
I completely agree, actually. The "best" diet and exercise routine is the one you're going to actually do and adhere to long term. Almost any validated diet (low carb [atkins, keto, paleo], low fat, calorie counting, IIFYM, zone blah blah) combined with any validated exercise routine will help people lose weight and get in better shape. Just pick one and do it. Do the work.

What I don't understand is why you'd turn class into a proxy for personal wealth, there are already lots of ways to refer to that - wages, household income, net worth - whereas class [in the UK] is a far more nuanced measure of ancestry, culture, occupation and attitudes to all of those things.
