"He's not a traitor because a subset of the things he leaked were actually legal."

Strawman this time. You m are fun. He's a traitor because he leaked national secrets critical to ongoing operations that were legal and mandated. Further, Americans approved of NSA spying on foreign countries as they know it works both ways.

Hope you get it now. Violating classified info laws in a way that damages American ops but doesn't protect American rights. That's treason.

Definitely performance. Go doesn't support negative/positive lookaheads (for performance/efficiency reasons, apparently), so that's really the only downside I've found with Go's regular expressions.
Many people believe in the mistaken "no pain, no gain" philosophy. People seem to believe that somehow the universe will recognize their sacrifice and reward them accordingly. John Oliver did an excellent piece on a new crop of so-called "seed faith" televangelists that have popped up to fleece poor people that believe in this philosophy [1].

The reality, of course, is the opposite. The most successful people I have known have all started their businesses while their lives were relatively stable. That doesn't mean they started off rich, but it does mean they weren't spending all of their time trying to figure out where they were going to sleep or where their next meal was coming from. These days, it is wholly unnecessary to quit your job or move to SV to make a startup happen, and doing so is counterproductive in almost all cases.

It's significant that high-solidity turbines with many blades are in use. As you say, they're quite common in small-scale settings like water pumping.

An article purporting to 'discover' that design would probably be more shocking if it wasn't already in common use for sensible applications.
> Meanwhile, basic income puts more money in the pockets of consumers, creating more market opportunities

I worry that it would be a lot worse than that - that we could create a class of non-workers and workers. Some products would only be affordable to workers and if, like you're saying, those workers are only those working high paying jobs, this is probably how it'd work out. It could perpetually shrink the labor force while forcing those people who aren't working into a lower class in society and overall dropping our productivity at large - setting back the kinds of automation that such a society could require.

Personally I'd almost immediately attempt to drop out of the workforce. And well, software developers are often pretty heavily involved in this sort of automation. So maybe I'm just speaking to my own situation here more than anything.

Of course, this is only speculation, and probably one of the worst possible outcomes I can envision for such a program.

I definitely agree with you about experimentation though, and if the main funds for it are coming from donors voluntarily and not out of the tax payer's pockets then that's all the better. It would be great to have both private and public researchers in on this though, I'll take as many eyes as we can get on the data.
Except they even state:

"If you’ve pushed a gem with internal code, you still need to reset API keys, URLs, or anything else sensitive despite the new behavior."

And:

"...we’ve been using an Amazon S3 bucket to store the gems for years now with versioning on - so if someone does remove gems that are necessary, we can easily restore them."

So what they've really done is given developers the illusion that the unwanted gem has been removed, while introducing the ability to break everyone's workflow just like npmjs. In some ways this is worse than before; devs still need to change secrets, and if it's non-secret sensitive code they are concerned about, it's still 'out there' and the dev still has to trust that the rubygems.org people don't do something unwanted with it.
jwz remarks on a conjecture, which came up recently in a complaint about how someone won a costume contest with a non-creative costume:

> Dr. Kingfish has a theory, that I find hard to counter, that these days "trying" must be a thing that is commonly considered to be uncool. People flock to these semi-crowdsourced events that offer nothing but "participation", so long as that participation takes zero effort -- the kind of Special Olympics where you get a prize just for showing up, like pillow fights and lightsaber battles. If participation means wearing a trivially simple uniform and leaving a mess for someone else to clean up, people are all in. But if participation means you had to actually try, oh, no way, forget about it. "Trying" isn't done.

> So when Pizza Guy wins the costume contest, what the people are saying is, "Look at that guy, not quite trying! Way to not-quite-try! You really hit the sweet spot there!"

> I've been calling it the Culture of Meh. "Meh" is the worst word in the modern vernacular: when you use it, you are saying, "I don't have a strong opinion about this thing, but I think that the fact that I am not taking any kind of stand about it is important enough for me to talk about. Look how noncommittal I am, and how that is something to be admired." It's a celebration of beige.
Waycap: refillable coffee capsule for nespresso
Magnetizing power (and other constant-term losses) are a very small portion of the rated turbine power in a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG).

Edit (one more thing): At this scale, permanent magnet (PM) machines aren't much more efficient than DFIG machines. It turns out that eddy current losses in the stator back iron remain as a significant term in both machines. But for a DFIG machine, the eddy current losses at light load are reduced by quite a bit relative to the losses produced by a PM machine. Since real-world wind turbines end up operating at partial load for much of their life, the effects basically wash out, or are even a net negative for the PM machine.

In the longer & broader view, it may well not, I think that's the OP's point. This could be due to second-order effects such as the wealthy (= productive) people losing incentive (due to taxation) to work as hard, or inflation.
ES6: Using more const and making const more constant
Thanks for sharing. Great food for thought.
That's one way of looking at it. OTOH, not allowing plugins arbitrarily restricts web users to the lowest common denominator of technologies that are supported by browser vendors. Why should I care to have my technology choices dictated by browser vendors any more than I care to have them dictated by Adobe?

That said, nothing about what I'm proposing specifically requires plugins. All it would require would be for the browser vendors to work together (cough, cough, I know, cough cough) to implement a standard mechanism for doing this. Actually, it might not even take that. Browsers already have a way to setup handlers for unsupported content types and what-not, so it might be possible to build what I'm thinking about largely on top of that. Of course it would mean that if you wanted to run an "application" UI you'd have to have a suitable platform (an X server, or something like an X server) running along-side your browser. So you maybe wouldn't be able to run OpenOffice on your smart-phone. OK, personally, I can live with that. Not all devices are equivalent and there's no reason to expect every thing to work one every device.
Offensive/suspect to who? Americans and most countries in the leaks condone spying so long as they're the spies. Spying is legal here. Americans imllicitly support it by how they react to media on it.

So, yes, leaking it makes you a traitor. Especially if you're a trained US spy who did it youself.
> 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.

Only in that some of the people that remain home have a source of income. But that doesn't make it anything like a "basic income", anymore than the fact that some people are supported by family members working in the same country means that that country already has something like basic income.
That's not a reliable way to get data. Because you'll get different results depending on the time of day.

This is generally true. Mill or pumping turbines generally have a lot of blades (for higher torque), which obviously increases the risk of blade failure. That can be offset by having designs which aren't decommissioned by blade loss.

Of course, that's much less appealing for commercial installations, where access to the blades is expensive and difficult.

edit: also, even blade counts on big, high-powered turbines tend to get into problems with resonance by being symmetrical.

In all these Fintech initiatives, I have not read a single line about what will secure the unforkability of their block chain; Which is Bitcoin's innovation.

How will they do it? Random election? Vote? Majority? Everyone can veto?

I guess that in a network of firms who already work together, and already have reconciliation rules, you need less trust.

So is this just the Fintech industry realizing they need to upgrade from their hand-made batch settling at the end of the day to a real time shared ledger?

It has a lot more fungibility, which should also mean that the marginal utility of cash drops slower (as a function of total utility from that source) than for rice or shoes.
One thing I'm glad is that my two sons listen to a lot of good stuff (1970's hard rock, music that was not new when I was a teen, or even The Beatles, from around the time I was born). It makes life more tolerable.

Exactly. The nation as a whole determined spying for averting war, competing, and so on is morally acceptable. They've kept it legal for decades.

As an aside - I think we should start a ground-up movement to buy up as much of detroit as possible and create 'Silicon Detroit' as the land value is ridiculously low - and tech could move in where the biggest expense would be bringing in only strong connectivity.

Other initiatives like urban farming could be done as well. I think detroit is super fertile.

Imagine what just a billion dollar fund could do for tech in that region.

There are so many reasons why that's not relevant to the conversation that it's hard to know where to start. 1) You are conflating value systems with poverty. 2) You are cherry picking one particularly bad example and using it as evidence that it could NEVER work. 3) "All the money they can dream of" does not apply to all Saudi Arabians, it applies to those that have a lot of money.

The fact that this piece spent a lot of time vaguely implying that the Betz limit can be beaten is a testament to its insincerity. The entire point of that equation is that it applies before any real-world concerns are involved.

There are a few good points here (e.g. per-field profit is a different goal than per-rotor efficiency), but it feels a lot like an out-of-field expert assuming that no one in the field has ever been creative.
I don't see how the parent comment is describing mercantilist development. My understanding is that mercantilist development implies that the subservient state is developed as an income source for the dominant state. Although traditional development may not be effective, it surely isn't meant to extract resources.
Basic income is inevitable.

Wages have been lower relative to inflation, real estate etc because demand for human labor has been dropping. Consumer goods come down in price but real estate, gold and other limited resources are a reference for how low demand for human labor is falling.

Technology enabled outsoucing, and automation, to erode the demand for human labor. Luddites were 150 years too early. The capabilities of computers are only growing.

The next will be self driving cars, kiosks at mcdonalds and drone delivery. That will put a lot of people out of work.

Relying on wages to trickle money down only works when employers value their employees. These days we are in the intermediate period with a growing unemployed class, part time temp work, two year stints at companies, and stagnant wages for the average profession including developers.

There is no reason not to tax the productivity gains made by corporations by R&D and automation, and redistribute that to everyone. Alaska has been doing unconditional basic income from a tax on using its natural resources.

Most people will be 90% consumers and only 10% producers. Already, most full time jobs are just make-work. Conditional welfare and fulltime jobs make people afraid they'll lose their check if they work on what they are passionate about. That's an infantile mentality that holds many back from living productive lives. They instead pretend to work or pretend to be poor, to keep getting that conditional check. It's time to let the humanity at large grow up, stop wasting time and tap their potential.
You're making a good point, and I'm sad that you're being downvoted.

People who win a fortune by the lottery often lose all their money shortly afterwards, even those people who intend to save and invest it. The reality is that some people are better than others at turning capital into gains through investment. There's definitely luck involved too, but Buffet knows how to buy a business, be its steward, and generate growth, not just for his business but for the economy in which it resides too. Simply investment in diversified mutual funds is not the same thing.

If you pick a typical poor person and give them $10m, they probably won't have the education or discipline even (to know how to) live off investment proceeds, much less grow the amount substantially. (See the outcome of most lottery winners)

That being said, basic income is talking about something different entirely, which is giving a lot of people a little bit of money. I think that could have a positive effect, although for all we know it may be transitive and only lasts as long as the money is being supplied. I think the question is whether the money helps people lift themselves out of poverty, and educate themselves or their children so as to enter the middle or upper class.

I think you could have expressed your first post more clearly -- I assume your point is that transferring wealth from one person to another in a particular society does not make that society as a whole better off. On a micro scale this is correct, but it may in fact make society more wealth if it leads to a more productive population in the long term. But it could just as equally lead to a less productive population. We'll have to see.

So you're saying that if something is "legal," even if it's unethical/unconstitutional ("Hey, John Yoo said it's okay to spy on our own people and torture people, then it must be!") that you should not report the fact that its being grossly abused in a way that it was never intended to be?

If no one knows that our constitutional rights are being violated because of secrecy, it doesn't mean that they're not being violated (ironically, this is what the government has been using as a defense now for a while when people try to sue over the NSA: You have no proof we are spying on you specifically, so you can't sue us.)

The comment above you makes an excellent point. Just because behavior is deemed legal, does not make it so.

Also, Snowden was no lawyer. Who determines which behavior was legal and which wasn't? Obviously the US government and the NSA believed that everything they were doing was on the up and up (and obviously this was not so.)

Do you think that Snowden should have hired an entire law firm to go over every single file to deem whether or not each and every document either supported illegal and legal behavior by the government? (Which is somewhat what he did by giving all the documents to reporters to vet and disclose what they thought was important)

Every time I see coverage like this of China I think, "That was us, 25 to 40 years ago." I remember my first trip to Chicago in the 1970's and my impression was miles of smoke-belching factories and not enjoying our visit to Lake Michigan because of all the dead fish washed up on the beach.

Fast-forward to today and Chicago's beaches and rivers are far cleaner and there are a lot fewer belching factories.

Sadly, China is making all the same mistakes we did (but on 10x the scale) instead of learning from our mistakes.

The conclusion of the article titled "The Fall of Hacker Groups"...

> Furthermore, we dread the thought of being alike, of sharing multiple views and opinions. As such, we are turning progressively judgemental of who we should be partnering with, on the basis that "they do not understand". [..] No one ever feels like we do. They are not to be trusted and we do not have the time for them. The only attitude consonant to our search for a comfortable, safe life is to constrain ourselves to our own limitations, ignore the intelligent life out there, and surrender to the mediocracy that our society has condemned our leisure time to.

...reminded me of this:

> Even those of the intelligent who believe that they have a nostrum are too individualistic to combine with other intelligent men from whom they differ on minor points.

> I worry that it would be a lot worse than that - that we could create a class of non-workers and workers.

UBI is intended to alleviate the problem with means-tested social welfare programs in doing that by reducing the disincentive to taking action which would produce additional income faced by those on means-tested benefits where any additional income results in substantial (sometimes even dollar-for-dollar or greater) reduction in value of benefits received.

And, in any case, economically its somewhat self-limiting (unless you explicitly inflation index the benefit, in which case you are just asking for disaster if you set it wrong initially -- which is why I prefer tying benefits to a defined revenue stream, rather than a set benefit level): if too many people drop out of the work force because the benefit level is too generous given the current level of productivity, it will accelerate inflation, reducing the real level of the benefit, leading more people back into the workforce.
What? No. You go on welfare. And get free healthcare through Medicaid.
