I'm a big fan of Fog Creek (having worked there for 7 years). But I'm a little stumped on who this is for.

Without any persistence (Mongo, SQL, Redis, something) this is nothing more than a toy. Right now, the forums suggest setting one up via some PAAS, which obviates the whole "it's only one step" thing. Presumably persistence is on its way, as this is just a beta.

Persistence aside, it's still lightweight for an experienced developer. All of the things listed in Joel's "look what you don't have to do list" exist because they are good practice. In fact, 16 years ago Joel wrote about the 12 things that you need to make good software[0], which, coincidentally, includes almost everything on that convenience list.

On the other hand, if you're just learning to code, not having to provision a server or deal with Git isn't really fixing the hard part. Heroku and GitHub are making that easier and easier. HyperDev drops you right into an active NodeJS project without explaining what package.json is, where you define your views, or even what views are.

This leaves it serving a very narrow demographic, which is often the problem with these sorts of tools. Hopefully Fog Creek will be able to make it more broadly appealing before the shine wears off.

> a financial emergency

1) That's a major benefit already of BI: people actually have more financial means to develop a safety cushion.

> just flat-out blows all their money

1) They'll do that anyway if they have an addiction or some sort of character flaw. There exist underground economies for the benefits (obviously at a lesser cash equivalent) to enable them to convert benefits to what they really want.

2) If it's endemic, the current high-danger interventions such as substance abuse homes, child protective services are usually invoked.

The basic response to the general question you're asking that is usually given is private charity. And it's not so much because of some conservative political agenda, but because you're talking about edge cases, and there is no feasible system anyone's suggested to get people "emergency cash" without bureaucratic delays. BI (or negative income tax, I prefer) is not a perfect system. You should be asking whether it would be superior for the people by in large who most need it than the current byzantine, perversely incentivized, and corruption-prone systems.

Hume had a tendency to seek truth but does that mean Hume should've seeked it? Hume is also susceptible to his own problem as you are.

>>What Hume shows is that this instinct that we feel is either placed in us in relation to a Supreme Being

You seem lost in that you think what atheists I doesn't come from something more despite us not having a name for it. You may call it a god, Yahweh, etc, I call it a feeling of existential validity. I believe also that my instinctual feelings come from something beyond, something greater, a higher order, whatever you want to call it but it's far beyond what we have knowledge of and so far from Christian mythology that I refuse to call it "god" or "gods". I prefer not to be linked to that.

And your mentioning of suffering, beauty, love, etc over and over makes it seem to me that you're coming from an emotional point, not a logical one. Not all love is good. Sometimes doing without love makes us stronger. Sometimes suffering is good, it builds strength and character. Sometimes feeling "bad" is "good", sometimes the opposite. You'll never find real logical truth when you base it on such ambiguities. Life is way too complex to just say 'I like love, therefore god".

If life is good and meant to be, then that which nurtures and perpetuates it is good. Sometimes it's suffering to strengthen oneself, sometimes it's suffering to strengthen humanity and weed out the weak so that in the end, we have left ones who don't suffer so much. Love for oneself and humanity is an emotion that in itself, can be a weakness. Too much and you have vanity and pride, which can be a weakness of successful living and leadership. If love is mercy and tolerance, sometimes what's needed for living isn't mercy and tolerance. You seem to praise certain emotions and instincts as if they're infallible. Believing in gods is also a weakness when you count on those gods to look out for you when you should be looking out for yourself. Some don't care what we do to the Earth because they count on their gods to save them or about space travel because they rely too much on their gods not throwing balls of fire at us, or they pray to their gods to save them from medical illness. All this is predicated on the presupposed notion of life being good so we should perpetuate it. And it takes your love of love, beauty, suffering, etc out for a proverbial spin because life sometimes needs needs what it doesn't wish for, for it to flourish.

You think that the copyright default of "all works are copyrighted essentially forever, and you cannot use, modify or share copyrighted works of any kind" is sane? Seriously?

If you want to talk about property rights, we can talk about those. But we're talking about copyright, which is a very different concept to property (despite attempts to create misleading terms like "intellectual property" to muddy the waters).

Copyright is supposed to be a method of encouraging creative works. It is not meant to be a method for software developers to maintain control over their users. I never said licenses were not important: YOU SAID THAT. Licenses are incredibly important -- free software couldn't exist without them because of draconian copyright laws funded by special interests that don't give a shit about creative works.

Well articulated. This is a very good way of describing the way I've been looking at things.

I might amend your description of 2) to be "Jobs that mostly transfer economic value and provide competitive advantage". The increase of these jobs is driven by arms race style competition among capital owners.

I'm curious if you have any ideas of ways to combat the constant increase of type 2) jobs as I see them as a drain on our economic output.

I my hope is that BI means that the low intrinsic value of type 2) and some type 3) jobs means that this shift will be slowed or possibly even reversed.

12 Tips to Making a Great Impression at the First Day of Your New Job
SIFFX Dares Seattle to Get Real About Virtual Reality
I'm paid to work on OSRM.

Obviously the data is imperfect, and there are lots of edge cases (https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/issues/2145). But overall, it works pretty well. There are regional disagreements about the highway hierarchy (primary/secondary/tertiary/etc), but as long as the structure is locally consistent, you generally get the routing results you expect (routes tend to major arteries, etc).

ETA calculation is a bit hit-and-miss, but the only way to correct this is to use real-world measurements.

The great thing is that if you find something weird, you can just fix it. This happens overwhelmingly more often that people deliberately introducing errors.

I think the McDonalds of the future may look more like a vending machine than a restaurant. Of the the things you listed, only "test a burger patty for the correct internal temperature" is actually related to producing McDonalds food, and that is certainly automatable.

But that aside, if all that's left is basic cleaning then McDonalds could simply contract a cleaning service. I'd guess that a single team could service at least 10 fast food restaurants a day. And then how many years before running the cleaning service only requires one person?

"Horrible laws that cause everyone's disposable income to be swallowed by landlords" sounds like a problem worth solving, not an inevitable fact of life.
Many comments are painting this as a bunch of monocle wearing old money aristocrats lamenting the peasants demanding more.

In reality what the report is saying is this: businesses are having to hire more people at higher wages without the corresponding increase in earnings. Earnings in excess of costs is the point of equity markets. Ignore that and you have Venezuela. The evil capitalists that you all describe would happily double worker wages if it meant doubling earnings.
> Where would that money come from? It amounts to nearly all the tax revenue collected by the federal government. Nothing in the history of this country suggests Americans are ready to add that kind of burden to their current taxes

Taxes would have to go up, in some cases drastically. It's an easier sell if people immediately get a good chunk back.

> A universal basic income has many undesirable features, starting with its non-negligible disincentive to work. Almost a quarter of American households make less than $25,000. It would be hardly surprising if a $10,000 check each for mom and dad sapped their desire to work.

Except if they keep working the money just adds up. I certainly wouldn't want to stop working and give up my lifestyle.

Maybe instead of working to make enough money to just get by you keep working and put a chunk of that money into savings, or upgrading your lifestyle a bit. Maybe moving to a better area, fixing up some stuff around the house, get your kid a couple toys, etc...

Yeah, people in situations that make working hard might quit but maybe they should be allowed to. Or maybe they should quit for a while and come back when it makes more sense.
No. I don't. I mean that they had the most important safety net of all: Family with the will and ability to help financially.

I'm genuinely curious what financial life lessons you think a middle class kid is learning that a poor kid doesn't understand at a much deeper level.

My own experience is that (some) middle class kids succeed despite their own failures (dropping college classes before the grade becomes part of record stands out in my mind), and then attribute their success to their superior work ethic and intellect.

If most poor people fail to move up the class ladder, then in their same situation you're just as likely to fail. It's either that, or believe yourself somehow innately superior. I can't really think of a third option. It's like the adage about being surrounded by assholes.

You're right. Life isn't fair. But that doesn't mean the person cleaning my house isn't entitled to financial stability. I'm not religious, but I can't think of a secular version of "but for the grace of God".
"Seems to be" being the operative word. In reality, behavior is rooted in will and circumstances is how it manifests itself.

Anything other than focusing on the core drives and desires of man is superficial at best and wasted at worst.
This would be best. It's sort of telling that Steve Huffman, CEO of reddit, had this to say about reddit's content policy enacted about a year ago:

>When you draw really clear lines in the sand at a site like Reddit, “there will always be some a—–,” Huffman said, “looking for loopholes.” He eventually came to the conclusion that virtually every other major social site has come to: that content guidelines for online communities work best when they’re “specifically vague,” giving the contours of clarity on what sort of content is forbidden, while affording those in charge of enforcing the rules some leeway with when, precisely, the rules apply.[1]

That's the CEO of reddit saying that selective enforcement should be the default, and that users should not lean on the actual, written rules to determine what is acceptable and unacceptable.

"The passwords are stored as SHA1 hashes of the first 10 characters of the password converted to lowercase. That's right, truncated and case insensitive passwords stored without a salt"

I'm surprised this fact is not getting more attention. In theory, this means that a MySpace account with a password of Welcome1234567 could be logged into with a password attempt using any of the following examples:

* Welcome123

* welcome123

* WeLcOMe123456789

* welcome123anythingafterthe10thcharacterdoesntmatter

In essence, case sensitivity and the 11th character onward are completely ignored. This vastly reduces the total key space. To compound the problem, SHA-1 has been used which is not suitable for password storage (salted or otherwise) because it's an intentionally fast algorithm. This means an attacker can more efficiently run all permutations through the hash function to find a hash match and hence the password. In fact, as I've described above, the attacker doesn't even need to retrieve the exact password to gain access to the account. They just need an input that will produce an identical SHA-1 hash (i.e. an input containing the same first 10 (case insensitive) characters as the original password).

Based on the work I've done reversing password hashes in bulk (legitimately for clients in penetration testing engagements), I'd suggest that at least 80% of the reported ~360 million hashes could be reversed within a few days with access to the full data set and $5k worth of commodity GPU hardware. And you can guarantee that these passwords will be used in future attacks against other web sites because of how common password reuse is. Frightening.

fair point. but another point is that, for the last 20 years or so, they've been increasing return to owners (to capitalists) without an equivalent return to labor. now that it's starting to shift a little bit more towards labor relative to capital? oh noes!
