"By following a few steps, you can invite someone to connect to your computer. After he or she is connected, that person can view your computer screen and chat with you about what you both see. With your permission, your helper can even use his or her own mouse and keyboard to control your computer and show you how to fix a problem."

>replicate that formula at scale

This doesn't help anyone; it only makes them feel worse. You will only make people have even more superficial relationships - the last thing a depressed alienated individual needs.

Empathetic bonds do not have a "template" - it is based in the individuality of each person in a group. There is not a single statistical model at scale that is able to predict what can take you out of isolation and alienation.

> I think giving people a way to meet over and over again that's both comfortable and convenient is what is needed.

Just confirms what I argued. They crave real emotional bonds, not an easy "fast-food way" to talk to strangers. Long-term relationships are complicated, deep and time-consuming.
Come on, I answered to the first sentence: "Farming requires skills, good land and inputs like fertilizer." Not about homelessness at all.

UBI is not 'tilting slightly the balance in the direction of workers'. its ripping the balance strait the f off the scale.

'treating everyone like stellar employees' is not irrelevant. we are not in the utopian world where technology has made resources so abundant that everyone can have what they want without working extra hard for it. maybe in 35+ years, but this PRECONDITION is necessary to even begin to think UBI would work.

SO when an employer is forced to pay all employees a basic income, they have to start paying uneducated / unskilled / low performing employees more. when revenue has not increased, this means taking pay raises / income / benefits from the other employees.

#2 if all of your needs are GUARANTEED you might be surprised to find nobody would be willing to do many jobs.
> I'm sure Salesforce does more work around security than the vast majority of their customers would even be capable on their own

This is a fallacy that people like to believe because they are not doing the work themselves. The fact is SalesForce hires the same type of developer/admin that any company would hire and that person is trying to do their best like everyone else. Because it's behind a curtain people feel its more secure, when in reality it's probably the same level of competence/incompetence that anyone can do hosted on-prem.
Notice I said "one way". I wanted to counter the arguments that writing better software remove the need for something like docker.

Are talking about something like NIX?

How do you handle other type of installs such as python pip?
> The best, brightest, smartest, pedigreed, hardest working most motivated people on earth.

Silicon Valley has the brightest minds in software engineering, which is great for building the world's most advanced ad-serving network or behavior tracking.
Software is easy.
The Bay Area's housing and infrastructure issues require political, social, economic, and engineering management fluency; these problems will not be solved by software engineering.
These problems will not be solved by "disruption."
These problems are hard.

> And we cant solve the simplest problems in the Maslow's hierarchy.

Maslow's hierarchy seems focused on individual psychology.
Solving these problems for 7 million people with different values, cultures, and perspectives is not "simple."

> American Indians solved the housing problems with Teepees and Wigwams - so much for being "smart."

Yeah with a few orders of magnitude lower population and a drastically different standard of living.
This is a ridiculous over-exaggeration.

> Tokyo, 1945, burned to the ground, population 3.5 million.

Throwing it away and completely starting over might be the easiest way to fix a metro area's infrastructure issues.
But to your point there are also very significant cultural differences between CA and Japan; the present debacle can be blamed in a large part on CA's endemic cultural values.

I too upvoted this. Your other posts I didn't touch, either because I don't feel qualified to judge them or because I didn't agree.

Believe me, it's not as disappointing for you as it is for me. When I started this hobby project, Chrome supported Java and a sandboxed/signed applet would be trusted without needing any security warnings or change of configuration. :(
Indeed. Also observable in the fact that while Harvard is the wealthiest school on an absolute basis, Princeton has the largest endowment per enrolled student. Harvard is more than twice the size of Princeton.
CerteDrive | Fullstack Rails Engineer | Grand Rapids, MI

Mike here, CTO of Certedrive. We just started looking to add 2-3 developers to help us expand our product offering. We are a startup with customers in 37 states and looking to expand that number to 48 in the next 6 months.

You (read: everyone) should be using FDE. Every OS worth running supports it, and it provides a real layer of protection in the event of any device failure.

Broken or failed screen, input device, storage controller, yada, -- doesn't matter. FDE means your data is that much more safer than without (and makes it safer provided you use a strong key).
I suspect that the expanse of the density around NYC is also a contributor to why people are less inclined to own cars there. As you say, 30 minutes from Boston can put you in, well, perhaps not farmland as such but certainly woodland areas and generally uncrowded areas of seashore. 45 minutes to an hour will put you in apple orchards and genuine farms.

And you can't get to most of those places easily using public transportation. Which makes not having a car you can hop into quickly more of a sacrifice than in NYC where driving out to "the country" is generally a bigger expedition.

It's quite easy to wipe out ISIS.

The problem is that it is unpalatable to a significant portion of our voters, probably you included. Think back to when the US defeated Germany. We leveled Dresden. It is entirely possible to wipe ISIS from the face of the Earth, sympathizers and supporters included.

Regarding the inevitable suffering and death, quick solutions can't hurt more than the current population. There is no such limit if we let things fester forever. Trying to avoid conflict just drags it out, preventing recovery. We could face the suffering and death of many many times the current population.
You are splitting hairs. I pay into SSI and there is an expectation that I will get a certain amount out of it based on when I retire and when I die. It is known today what I will get out in the future. Also, since the Social Security fund holds a ton of T-Bills (Think savings account), the argument that people who are retired now are getting someone else's money is technically wrong. If the Social Security fund held no T-Bills and young people were paying into a fund that was then immediately paid out to retirees, then I would agree with you.
You'd have to account for type and breadth of schools within each, in that case. Many schools don't have medical or architecture schools, so why include per capita counts?
I think it is far more than just legacies. The proximity to capital hill and other government internships opens up many opportunities. Being regarded as the best school in D.C. means it is a natural talent feeder for government agencies.

It also has an extremely well regarded foreign service program.

Like how atheists complain about fundamentalists, religious folks tend to be more annoyed by the loud atheists. There are plenty of us out there who may even believe in strict materialism, but are graceful enough to not disparage others beliefs when they share them. It's a shame you've met more of the former than the latter.
Replication is a big advantage that's hard to replicate to the same degree with ZFS or rsync.
Although it sounds attractive on many fronts, it can never work. Let's say we give out $1 trillion worth of basic income. Is there $1 trillion more goods and services to spend that on? No. In fact, depending on how many spend their time on non-productive work, there might be a lot less. So a lot more money chasing fewer goods and services. Classical inflation will quickly make that basic income of little value.

I understand what you're saying, but most companies (not all) don't have dedicated staff to this sort of thing.

They usually take other precautions like VPNs, etc.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but for MOST people, this is a better alternative.

Does that make sense? If companies made a concerted effort to hire for this and take it seriously, it makes sense. But large enterprise customers with the resources to do this aren't the majority of saleforce users.
I own two Xiaomi phones, the Redmi 3 and the Mi 4C. I imported both directly from China for <$200 each. The hardware feels just like a $600-700 flagship phone from a big brand, including Apple. I had to do some fiddling to get a perfect english language ROM with the Playstore and without chinese bloatapps, but now i am very happy with it. Quite frankly, i see no reason to ever pick up a big brand phone again.

Of course if they enter western markets, the prices will go up (US/european regulations, warranty law, license costs etc.), but if that price bump stays reasonable... some of the big boys are in trouble.
The ups and downs of building a drilling robot for the Airbus Shopfloor Challenge
In general, I favor freedom of determination; if your randomly selected person wants to spend their BI on drugs or alcohol, fine. But the persistently homeless are not at all a representative sample population. There are a number of intersecting problems, especially mental health and addiction, that place them among the least credible cases for self-determination. We can argue about where the cutoff is, but there will always be people out at the end of the bell curve that need more active intervention.

And that's without even getting into the problem of perverse incentives involved in giving money to people for asking for it.
