Robots are capital. Real estate is mostly land. Capital produces interest. Land produces rent. These are different things.

However, if robots ever became fully autonomous and sentient, then owning them could be equivalent to slaveownership, and fundamentally immoral.

Slaveowners can be said to collect rent, because just like with owners of land titles, their profit comes not from production but from the government giving them privileges.

I wanted to like 2700k, but I find it to be extremely yellow. I remember, even on tungsten times I found lights to be annoyingly yellow. It's even more apparent when working on a led screen, then turning around to see your devastatingly yellow lights. Then again, I find 5000k lights too blue, and I have found that 3500k-4000k is the most pleasant temperature, but the industry has settled on yellow and blue lights. It's a shame.
That depends on the jurisdiction -- and, mostly, that's the jurisdiction in which any hypothetical future divorce will occur. In California, pre-marriage assets are separate property, as well as certain things received during marriage (gifts, bequests, etc., as well as earnings such as rents derived from other separate property.)

(California Family Code, Sec. 770.)

Other things gained during the marriage are generally community (or, if gained outside of California, quasi-community, which is treated the same in a divorce) property.
Agree, Mercurial definitely lacks a self-hosting platform. Not quite sure about _truly Open Source_ though: AGPLv3 is also Open Source (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html).

Regardless of the license compatibility, RhodeCode seems to be developed much more actively (looking at https://code.rhodecode.com/).

They cover this in the post but it depends on the state. Here is a snippet:

> "Income generated from community property will remain community property, and income generated from separate property will remain separate property. So any investment income earned from Daniel’s savings before the marriage, or gifts or inheritances he receives during the marriage, will remain his separate property, while investment income generated from Daniel’s savings during the marriage will be community property."
Yes, but we are a small group with modest needs.

Google Summit 2016: New AdWords Features You Need to Know
I'm not sure why you're being down-voted. People driving their own truck for a living are probably not swimming in capital, and outfitting a truck with self-driving capabilities (or buying a new truck) is likely to be expensive. Furthermore, they are more likely to lose out to bigger players who can aggregate inevitable software/sensor upgrade/repair costs across an entire fleet.

The idea that everything will work out because working people can just become capital owners ignores the obvious fact that working people work precisely because they don't have capital.
Axiom of choice is just an ad hoc theorem taken as axiom. Check out HoTT.
If that were the case, marriage rates should asymptotically be approaching zero, unless there was a thriving marriage insurance industry.

But there isn't and they aren't (although they are plummeting for millennials, so maybe that's a start of a long term trend), so clearly there's more going on.
Let's say you want a GC'd language (no C, C++) on *nix (no C#), good/varied libraries to work with (no esoteric languages), good performance (no Ruby, Python), reasonable options for implementing concurrency (no Javascript), what's left?

Looks like a JVM language (Java, Scala, etc), or Golang. Java has better tooling and more mature implementations. I personally find modern Java nicer to write than Golang (though Scala nicer than both). These days, it comes down to whether the JVM memory overhead is a big deal on the specific project, and if not, for the class of projects discussed in the previous paragraph, I'm probably choosing Scala (but if my teammates object, then it's back to Java).
Halogen is very much not a cool color temperature. If you're trying to match your existing halogen lighting, stick to lights labeled "warm white". If they list a color temperature, 2700K is a reasonable option, 3000K works in a pinch. Halogen bulbs are typically a bit over 3000K, but they'll shift warmer as they're dimmed, which is a pretty common use case.

The vocabulary is a bit weird, since "warm white" corresponds to "low color temperature". It's because we mentally associate blue with cold/ice and orange with fire, but the color temperature scales are based on the color an object glows as you heat it. To make a black body glow blue you have to heat it pretty damn hot.
I don't know, this may be anecdotal, much like your experience. But I have three fluorescent bulbs that have been running for at least the past five years. One of them runs all night from dusk till dawn, even through New York winters. The other is in the garage, and the other is above a stove, that runs all night as well.

No one is arguing that the industry moving to a safer language will reduce the level of nasty bugs in the world. That would be silly to argue against, because that's basically a tautology anyway.

What I'm disputing is that no teams write good C or C++ code.

In fact, the 1% who raised their hands proves my point. It isn't 0%.

That's all I'm saying. Don't smear our names with the "all C and C++ developers write code with exploitable undefined behavior bugs in it" when you mean "most C and C++ developers write code with exploitable undefined behavior bugs in it".

This is actually a pretty interesting perspective. I hadn't really thought about how I basically use my Mac like a shiny silver Linux box. But it is so very nice and shiny... well anyway...

Deco is an Electron app, so it should build for Linux without too much trouble. None of us are Linux experts, so we'd be very happy to take any pull requests for Linux support if you have the expertise. As an indicator of demand, we have 2x the beta signups for Windows as Linux though, so we're currently prioritizing Windows support.
It doesn't. That's what the person I was responding to said marriage was for.
Ray Bradbury anticipated such a total immersive experience in his book Fahrenheit 451.

He was not so sanguine about it, as he saw it as a potential pitfall which could lead people to lose their humanity in a cloud of vague emotions and indistinct narratives. It would be more pernicious than a sensory deprivation chamber because the total immersion would lull its users into a state of unfocused, passive complacency. By contrast, wrestling with a worthwhile book would sharpen the mind and will by making the reader aspire to meet the standards of the text.

Normally when people complain of led bulbs being slow to turn on, it's actually the dimmer at fault. Most dimmer switches have only two wires, and so charge their caps through the bulb. Since LEDs draw far less current, this takes longer, and so the bulb takes longer to appear on.

"The current state of terms and conditions for digital services is bordering on the absurd. Their scope, length and complexity mean it is virtually impossible to make good and informed decisions"

...thus effectively serving the interests of the service provider. As much as I'd love to see this situation change, I have a hard time imagining it happening any time soon unless one or more of the following occurs:

* consumers collectively stop using such services (unlikely)

* service providers collectively decide to change this (unlikely)

* heavy-handed government regulation (undesirable)

Hopefully I'm wrong! :)

Interesting that I get downvoted for genuinely liking this video. I guess you where expecting some criticism or a longer excitement?
Get. A. Prenup. Trust me on this; I should know.

You have _no_ idea what the future will bring. You might have comparable assets and income now, but that could change. People have a tendency to dramatically underestimate how different their lives will be in even just 5-10 years.

Prenups protect both parties. They aren't just a way for one spouse to raise a fortress around their assets. What if the balance of income changes during the marriage? It could. You don't know. Just because things are a certain way now, doesn't mean they will be later.

And you might be madly in love today, but when things go south, it brings out the absolute worst in people. Negotiate these things now while you still have each other's best interests in mind; don't wait until you hate each other and are trying to get revenge.
> the burden of proof would be on the employer to prove that there was no retaliation.

Only if they are sued. And then they can just say. It would take someone who is in on the nudge-nudge wink-wink euphemisms to somehow break the silence and testify. They'd have to have a falling out with the owners / management at the same when the person who is gone sued and then testify that "what we mean by restructuring is person is the wrong race". Then bingo, easy peasy case.

See companies have written rules and communication, and unwritten rules and communication. The unwritten rules are the nudge-nudge wink-wink type things.

If they are very careful they could even start a performance review probation period. Could say we need to "re-evaluate your role, you have to improve your performance review numbers". They set some unrealistic goals, then the clock start ticking. And in the end they have a paper trail of a reason to lay the person off. Even though, according to unwritten communication it was really because they were the wrong race, or gender and so on.

1 - patterns and pins are not as insecure as you apparently believe (consider that length isn't mandated and watch the search space explode). Enable the "10 tries and it's wiped" setting and get on with your life
2 - I wasn't talking about Joe public, I'm talking about the type of person who posts in smartphone security articles on HN. They'll pick a good enough PIN/Pattern
3 - we're not trying to secure against an advanced adversary, by far the most likely bad actor is the thief who pulled it out of your bag at Starbucks. A PIN/Pattern is fort Knox to them.

Security is all about risk mitigation, you have to consider against whom you want the system to be secured.

Oracle Create Table Syntax and Examples – The Complete Guide
My father was a "manager" of people doing that kind of ultra repetitive, not very smart, dirty-hands tasks. I was fortunate enough to meet some of them when I was 20 years old. This opened my eyes :

- those people were not well educated so that kind of work was something they could do and for a decent salary

- that was a job and they had pride in being employed and useful

- that job was not mentally exhausting so they could think about something else or talk while working; many found that quite enjoyable, socially interesting if you will

- they were doing different things, going from one "simple" task to another and so they all shared a knowledge ofthe build process they were involved in. They were proud of that as well.

So well, those "not very interesting" tasks were actually taken care of very seriously and with pride. So in the end the "how it was done" was just as important than "what was done".

That's why if robots take over, I can't help but see that these people will miss something they loved. You can say that's the price to pay but, go and say that in front of them; you'll understand what the "it's-logical-unescapable" kind of argument really means...

CopperSpice is a good thing. If you follow the Qt mailing list, there are good debates on the approaches and it's pushing Qt ahead in good ways (like Verdigris itself). The Qt team was unwilling to question many of the assumptions that are built into Qt (like moc) and now the existence of CopperSpice pushes them to reconsider.
I do not recall stating it was only about children currently. My stance was there is an over emphasis that marriage is about love or that it should be large component of it. I don't agree with that.

Trust, comprise, and hard work are to be in support of each other in attaining their shared vision of their life, whatever that is.
Realm has excellent marketing, but being a closed source third party SDK disqualifies it as anything I would recommend for my company to use.

I've had to deal with enough pain from closed source libraries from the likes of Google and others. Closed-source prevents me from adopting a new platform until the vendor gets around to porting it, and only if it fits with their strategy. Also a middleware-only company is liable to be bought out, and then closed. Example: Parse.

I'd also add that PipelineDB excels at SQL-based workloads where you know the queries you want to run in advance and want to stream large volumes of data into PipelineDB's continuous query engine and store ONLY the results of the continuous queries in PipelineDB's underlying relational database. The main value is in continuous computation and distillation for realtime reporting and realtime monitoring and alerting use cases. PipelineDB isn't designed to do ad hoc, exploratory queries, although it can to the same extent that PostgreSQL 9.5 can. It's designed for scenarios where you know the analytic queries you want to run in advance and where a SQL-based approach to streaming analytics with integrated storage provides value by being simpler than building a custom system in Java / Scala using frameworks like Storm, Spark Streaming, Druid, Cassandra / HBase, etc.
> Airbnb is the safer bet for growth because of the lack of competition

Airbnb may not face huge direct competition like Uber does with Lyft, but there are still lots of alternative products going against Airbnb.

I look at Airbnb as the eBay for short-term rentals. It's a big marketplace with a lot of inventory and has a huge network effect helping it, but it's hard to serve every niche perfectly. So, just like companies like Reverb have flanked business from eBay, I think specialty companies can flank business from Airbnb as well.

> What are your opinions on SPAs?

I think that some of them make sense, but many many many would be better implemented as RESTful apps instead. Once the REST layer is written and works without JavaScript, implementing an enhanced version which requires JavaScript and minimises redownloading of new data is relatively easy.

Imagine a chat app. The pure-HTML version could serve a chat message at /chats/{partner}/{message-id}, with a prev link to the previous chat; it could serve a chat sequence at /chats/{partner}/{message-id}?history={length}; it could redirect /chats/{partner} to the most recent message in a sequence. A form could easily enable POSTing a new message to the chat.

Once all that's done, it's dead-easy to write some JavaScript which ties it together in a single-page app. Instead of requesting each message as text/json, the JavaScript client could accept application/json (or another format, if you like). It could subscribe to a WebSocket or server events. It could do anything — but the basic HTML-based app would still work, and be usable from a command line, from a simple phone, from anywhere.

I wouldn't bet on Uber based on self-driving cars. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_car: most auto companies and most big tech companies are working on them, and I wouldn't bet that Uber can beat everyone from Audi to Google to the punch. It's more likely that they'll buy self-driving cars from whoever develops them first -- or that whoever develops them will create an app cheaper to use than Uber. (It's not like Uber would be particularly hard to replicate, at least not if you're Google.)
The real power of URLs is for linking between sites, or linking to a site from another application. With HN as a website, it's easy for me to send someone a link to an HN comment thread over email or IM, and Hn doesn't have to specifically support that use case. If it were an application, that would depend on whether and how HN had implemented a "Share" feature.

Daylight has a CRI of 100 because the sun is as close to an ideal black body as we're going to get. Perhaps absorption and reflection within the atmosphere lowers it a bit, but I doubt it's significant.

As for daylight containing lots of blue, I think that's the point - our bodies have adapted to recognizing blue as the defining characteristic of daylight, and keep us awake for it.
> What are you spending so much on electricity on

I tried to figure this out for my household... 1) The squirrel cage on the HVAC unit uses about 600 watts. 2) Couldn't convince everyone in the house to turn off TVs when they leave their rooms. 3) Laundry (gas dryer, but again there is a motor on it). 4) Dish washer 5) Fridge/Freezer.

I added up the cost of leaving lights on in all all the rooms (10 60-watt bulbs) 24x7, and that would only cost $43 a month. Typically only half would be on, and for a few hours in the evening, (5 bulbs, 4 hours a night, 10 cents/kwh), and that comes to $3.60 a month.
I think sam's predictions will hold even if we are in a bubble, because those companies (not sure about uber and palantir) seem likely to survive bubbles. There's also enough diversity (zenefits has died, e.g.) that there's some cushioning.

Nonetheless, if you think we're in a bubble you should be prepared to liquidate everything and start from scratch at the bottom.
