If you've got a recent-ish smartphone, I would highly recommend getting yourself a Google Cardboard for watching YouTube 360 videos, it really makes it even cooler. Yeah it's "poor man's VR" and certainly not in the same league as things like the Rift/Vive, but it's 15 bucks, so why not? I definitely feel like I've gotten 15 bucks worth of use out of mine, mostly because of videos like this.
The Panama Canal re-opening will allow larger ships to pass through. The larger ships are much more cost effective, and now that they will be able to traverse the canal, the small-ish ships are being decommissioned.

Unless private parties -- consumers -- buy stuff, there is no income. The government can intervene and distort things (and should -- I'm not a libertarian) but if there is no private commerce, there is nothing to tax.

In a society with no regulation, people still partake in commerce. It has lots of problems and I wouldn't want to live in, say, Somalia, but Somalis still engage in trade and the strongmen who run such places depend on that.
It's slight, but there are already possible thermal throttling issues with the 512GB 950 Pro[0]. I'm wondering if that becomes more pronounced as they try to pack 1TB onto an m.2 form factor.

While events like this are not great, isn't it a little myopic to think the solution is to run it yourself? 20 hours of downtime sucks to be sure, but is your own uptime rate really going to be better than theirs? Not to mention all the other issues with operating your own service like this.

IMO, Intel's greatest weakness is that they got so large on such a relatively narrow set of product lines. Their fabs are all optimized for massive runs of dies, unlike their competitors in the fab space. It makes them far less agile.

I'm not after workers' pay.

I'm after your 'package' and your contractually guaranteed returns and your windfalls.

I'm going to reverse a 55 year trend of ever more wealth going to a limited number of people.

I'm going to crack off as much of that as I can and redefine how we play this game for the next round.

Defining this as 'taking money from your employees' is akin IMO to claiming you're replacing unskilled labor in your fast food chain with a robot because the minimum wage went up.

The point would be to keep an archive of scientific papers, but prevent access to them in case SciHub goes down.
Throughtout my career the interesting thing about the level of scrutiny the "cloud" receives is that people rarely ever applied that scrutiny to themselves.

Is it secure? Hm..I'm sure Salesforce does more work around security than the vast majority of their customers would even be capable on their own.

Similarly, these types of catastrophic events will happen and I am just as confident in saying that Salesforce was able to diagnose and fix this problem better than the vast majority of their customers would have been able to do on their own systems. I've seen JIRA on prem go down several times.

I've worked building enterprise applications my entire career. Unless you have an extremely lean and engineering oriented organization, it's almost always better to buy than to build in house. There are exceptions, but for the most part this holds.

Having said all that, every single place that I've worked at has had it's own data lake/warehouse and having your own backup of your data is critical.
I really think the MLR cap was the biggest improvement Obamacare brought. It means keeping a genuinely expensive patient might mean your shareholders get to take home more money, so the incentive is "keep their business" rather than "treat them well enough that they can't successfully sue you for more than you'd have spent on them anyway."
Or it could fall from the sky, or grow on trees...

I agree with one point: UBI will provide freedom -- the freedom of some fraction of society to live at a very low standard at the expense of the remainder.

Sure, a high-income family, burdened by UBI taxes and other monstrosities, could decide to leave their jobs, leave their home, schools, neighborhood, and live in a UBI ghetto. To pursue art...
There's allegedly over 200,000 patents that can cover smartphones in some way. They each have multiple claims. What you suggest is impossible. It's why both large players and startups just do whatever they want, attempt to pile up patents, and then let lawyers fight it out. Unfortunately, that works better for the bigger players.

Plus, the number of vague or obvious patents in enforcement has not declined in any serious way. We have a recent example with Virnetx pulling hundreds of millions out of Apple et al for using end-to-end crypto. Something that was invented before their patents. Their others say mix crypto with (service here), which isn't original either. People mixed crypto with all sorts of things. Adding it to something is a feature of crypto, not an invention. Specific mechanism maybe, but not concept.

Stuff like that is still normal in the patent suits. The suits are too expensive. So, most companies settle to loose good chunk of money. There's quite a few businesses with good products that refused to do business in U.S. specifically because of this. They operate in Asia. That Xiamoi's lawyers told management to not enter America with common products unless they had a pile of patents is telling.

Open Hardware Random Number Generator
Since the transistors in chips are becoming smaller and smaller, heat is an increasing issue. This is why ARM chips for smartphones and IoT are booming, because their requirements of small chips are compatible with the shrinking size of the transistor. Now Intel tries to get a cut of the market, but they are too late.

Anyway, I think they should keep focussing on making the computer chips and focus on the temperature problem.

UBI does have the advantage of making every single government program funded equally by everyone. An alternative to any government cost is a higher dividend cheque to all.

To use your idea though, you could join a voluntary mutualized/cooperative consumer union that buys food in bulk discounts to distribute to members, or pools 5-20 peoples UBI to buy a very large house.
That is a very paternalistic way of looking at it.

You are effectively saying to artists, shut up, you have no right to sign contracts or have your voluntary agreements respected because you are too exploited to know what's good for you. And now step aside and let me download all your stuff for free until we have sorted out all the warts of media business models, capitalism and the universe in general.

We all face constraints and we are not completely free in the choices we make. That doesn't mean the choices we do make can simply be discounted.

The voting power is held privately, and Carlos Slim loaned them 250 million to keep the lights on several years ago, before increasing his ownership to 1/6.

That said, Bezos owning the Washington Post seems worse still to me.

Insikt | SF, Austin, LA | ON-SITE ONLY| Technical Product Managers, Software Engineers (All Levels)
Insikt (pronounced “in-seekt”) is a white label loan origination and investing platform that enables any brand to lend to its customers and any accredited investor to invest in consumer loan portfolios. Insikt was born out of our realization that banks will not be the lenders of tomorrow – brands will. Traditional banks, saddled with new rules and regulation, are no longer in the business of taking risk and making loans and cannot be relied on to deliver credit access and opportunity to the masses. Instead, tomorrow’s lenders will be media companies, retailers and prominent brands that have deep relationships with their customers and want to step in to help their customers get a fair loan. But, to do it right, they need scoring, servicing, technology and capital — all of which are expensive and difficult to build. So, why build it if you don’t have to? This is the future of lending. Any brand or company can be a lender. We’ve launched “Lending as a Service” (LaaS) to power this transformation. We are bringing together the best and brightest to solve real problems in the financial industry. Let us know if this sounds like you. http://www.insikt.com

Technologies: front-end: angular, react back-end: java/scala (finagle), Node.js, groovy, postgres, Kafka, Elastic Search, Flume. We run on AWS and we use ansible for deployment.

The Coke/Pepsi challenge. What matters is not which one is Coke or Pepsi, but which one consumers preferred.
'"live peacefully in this country under a single government and set of laws," not force them to abandon their culture.'

Government and laws are culture. They aren't all of a culture, but they are culture.

May I assume, for instance, that one of the laws you'd like to see them adopt is equal treatment of women? For the specific set of immigrants in question, that is a major abandonment of culture. Do the immigrants have a responsibility to culturally integrate here or not?

"The people acting that way (e.g. Donald Trump) are not helping."

Could you find me, say, five quotes where Donald Trump tells other cultures of the world than ours is racist, sexist, xenophobic, and toxic, or where he apologizes for all the things that Western culture has done?

I don't think I'm going too far out on a limb here by guessing you don't like Trump. Isn't exactly the reason you don't like him precisely that he doesn't do those things, like all proper public figures do?

Actually, never mind, I don't really care about how you feel about Trump, I just needed some textual distance before this paragraph. A few paragraphs ago I asked you if immigrants have a responsibility to culturally integrate or not. I'm also not too worried about the answer to that either. My point is, did you notice how that made you feel? I bet you find you didn't want to answer that question. You certainly didn't want to answer it with a resounding "Yes, immigrants absolutely should conform to basic Western standards of how women should be treated equally." I bet there's a part of you that wants to just go ahead and copy and paste that into a reply, just to show me.... but there's another part of you already writing the "but ...". And that's the proof of what I'm saying here... that sort of confidence is not in our culture. You don't need to go out into the culture to find this truth, you merely need look honestly inside yourself. How is that culture supposed to assimilate anything?
