> Routine/preventative/minor care. Probably best dealt with as out-of-pocket costs.

This seems like a terrible idea. If someone, for example, notices a new mole, they are much less likely to get it checked out if it is an out-of-pocket expense. Obviously, most of the time it'll be fine, but it could also be skin cancer that was easily treatable but has now metastasised and will be hugely expensive to treat.
> The quality of care for those who are covered in the US is unrivalled.

I would be interested in more specifics about this. It's hard to find statistics that provide a clear comparison of quality between healthcare systems.
Landlords will have no incentive to lower costs either; they have the opposite incentive, charge as much as the market will bear.
I'll have to check it out. I remember back when I was doing Angular I looked through several and none of them were even close for what I wanted to do. I think React is much more standardized.
Watch a machine-learning system parse the grammatical structure of sentences
I dunno. Given a self-supporting spherical structure around the planet, you could raise it above the atmosphere and set it up to experience a net torque from solar radiation pressure. Just add "sails" that are black on one side and mirrored on the other. Then sit back as it very very slowly spins itself up to orbital velocity.

Of course, there would be plenty of practical difficulties. (For one thing, radiation pressure is a hideously inefficient use of energy; for another, your spherical shells will be unstable and require constant maneuvering to keep them centered.) So if you have an army of self-replicating robots, it's probably easier to just have them build millions of solar-powered mass drivers and fire rocks directly into space.
Use free WiFi in airport (via DNS tunneling)
There is a tutorial for this included in this question:

http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/124674/can-ssh-tunneling-over-dns-tunnel-work-in-china-to-use-free-wifi-at-airport#

It works mostly in the world but it fails in China.

Does someone here know how to bypass it in mainland of China to get rid of GFW, and access free WiFi via DNS tunneling?

Combinatorial Music Theory (1991)
At this point we are just being handwavy. This is the problem with discussions like this, there aren't any hard facts to support the arguments. Are people being forced to pay .1 pct more of their income or 10 pct more? etc...
You could have that with Seamless today if you had delivery riders with insulated boxes.
There's a fascinating idea presented in a webcomic (that I totally cannot find right now) that really explores this idea.

Aside from what all else is going on in the society, everybody has a banked amount of money that is their steady-state; that amount is pegged to living costs (either civ wide, or locally, I don't remember, probably something in between). If you currently have less than that amount, your account gradually fills - if you current have more, it drains. I also don't remember if the rates are fixed, or are curved (further from baseline, higher the fill/drain rate is).

Time-based costs and payments - rent, salary - are then taken as a rate, while one-off payments (meals, events, items) are paid for normally.

The goal of the system is a more matured BI situation, /plus/ an incentive structure to keep producing. If you make a shit ton of money off something, it'll last for some amount of time, but you will have to eventually re-contribute to society in order to maintain the "rich" standard of living.
There are only two options on how to resolve the growing disparity between labor and capital due to automation. Either you violently take the fruits of "labor" from capital that has no labor (automated factories, self driving vehicles, the actuaries, secretaries, typists, and accountants already displaced by computers, the engineers, assembly workers lost already, etc) or you take the means of production themselves.

The 20th century saw several attempts at the later. They never worked, because you were centralizing control of everything into the hands of few, which breeds tyrants. But the status quo is decidedly more and more imaginary as we progress towards post scarcity. We already have implemented all the mechanisms needed to pay a UBI, and while I would certainly hear arguments that jus what we have now breeds tyranny, what we have now has been the most effective yet, and UBI is the natural progression into the post-labor age.

Of course, I'm willing to field alternative solutions, but just like anyone sane will not give climate changer deniers the time of day in actual debate anymore, it is only a matter of time before people saying "nuh uh, no way, Ima stick my fingers in my ears and ignore all the economic signaling that human unskilled labor is dead" is just as ostracized for its fictitiousness.
Algorithms: The Future That Already Happened
Income taxes... You realize there are more taxes than just income, yes?

Seriously, the whole "but rich people pay all the taxes, and poor people pay no taxes..." myth needs to die a horrible death.

But I live in a state which just lowered the income tax. And increased every other tax, as well as created a variety of taxes on services that were previously untaxed. And they then tell us our taxes have gone down. But somehow, the vast majority of people seem to be have less personal profit than the year before (assuming all income and costs sans taxes remain the same).
That's an excellent point. If you think humans are bad, nuclear-resistant humans are worse.

This lengthy book was written for young adults, especially those of a more "gifted" and scientifically curious persuasion. It is a sci-fi adventure set against a backdrop of exotic physics and internet hacker mythologies. It also explores a number of contemporary sub-themes, for those who care to think. These include: scientific ethics, philosophy of mind, game theory, probability, privacy and the nature of morality.

There are much bigger problems due to secondary infections caused by the /permanently/ implanted tubes required for regular dialysis.

The tubes also need to be frequently opened and used for self/manual dialysis that may be needed on a regular every-7-hours kind of way.

A friend of mine had his kidneys fail and he was on manual dialysis every 7 hours or something, every day, and could never miss ine. Once due to a power cut he had to drive 3 hours to get to a working microwave because he had to heat the fluid bags to body temp before using them.

Ask HN: How much to put into a personal emergency savings fund?
People say 6-12 months. I believe it varies by risk profile and career standing.

Did someone just pick a number? What is the math involved? And does anyone have a first hand experience in having to live without any income for 6-12 months / essentially tapping in money from the emergency savings?

P.S. - I am a programmer, in my mid 20's. I can't fathom the fact that I need 6-12 months of savings sitting in a money market fund, that earns a few pennies in interest every month. Rather, I would save 3 months of cash. And put the rest in mutual funds (Vanguard low-cost ETFs).

P.S. 2 - No car payments, no student loans, no mortgage.
That's how the term is most broadly used by people who follow financial markets. Central bankers are currently obsessed with inflation as they see it as an indicator of economic vitality (ie. people have such a thirst for creating/obtaining new wealth and new enterprise that they are willing to pay more for things like the batteries in your scenario).
I read on the website that one of the future project goals is to improve stability on OSX. Reading the artist interviews it sounds like it performs very well in Linux.

Ask HN: Does LinkedIn have to notify me of breach?
My email and sha1'd password were leaked in LinkedIn's 2012 breach. They've, up til now, made no attempt to contact me. There seem to be CA state statutes requiring notification for this type of breach.

Has anyone else received notification?

Do they get a pass, legally, because unsalted sha1 actually counts as encryption?

I deleted my account at LinkedIn shortly after this event originally occurred. I only wish I had done it sooner...

Might want to get acquainted then... if you've got competition for your library and you expect users to pick you, you should know why you're better IMO: http://concurrencykit.org/man.html

It's free and open source but in some regards it's similar to product design/marketing. If you don't pitch it, some reviewer on the internet will make a stackoverflow post about it, and they won't know your strengths as well as you do.

A blog I read recently outlined some things to figure out: https://blog.orangecaffeine.com/the-art-of-saying-no-db012a2...

From the other comments here it sounds like some unique things you have are:

* self-documenting code style

CDI, JPA, and JAX-RS already make for a super simple, light, and lightning fast backend for Angular like apps.

> A lot of large companies however are so fed up with on-premise enterprise

Is this anecdotal or is there some number behind this? When I was developing internal tools for massive companies, cloud was never an option. Red tape is definitely a given with large companies, but some of the red tape were a necessity to meet ISO certification and other regulatory needs.
Since BI often discussed in the context of ML taking away jobs, why not perform this study on Uber drivers.

As someone who walks by Uber's new Oakland HQ regularly, it is always covered in anti-tech graffiti. Uber might gladly fund part of the research for PR reasons alone.
That makes no sense at all. I can't imagine you seriously believe that they are deleting people's purchased files as a way to lock them in to a service.
It'll shift to RSI doing these gestures instead. They're still fine motor control which is what's involved in RSI. Notice how runners don't get RSI in their legs but pianists do.

Background: I have RSI and have battled it for 15 years now. There's a lot that's mental and nervous system, and can easily shift in the body (almost gave myself RSI in my throat and eyes doing voice rec and eye tracking to avoid typing).
I think it's more like kicking down the ladder. Once you climb to the top you want to kick the ladder away so others can't follow you. It's the usual greedy mindset that often comes about when people get rich.
Gonna have to disagree with you. I think your view is a bit pessimistic.

> No offense, but the idea in your book sounds a lot closer to "prison" than Basic Income.

You don't have a choice in prison. In prison, you eat what they feed you, live where they tell you, wear what they give you, and if you don't want those, then you get nothing at all.

You DO have a choice in this "basic" world. In a "basic" world, you get those things no matter what. The government picks it, sure, but they say "This is what you get at a minimum. If you want more, here's a path to contribute to society, and society will compensate you with money, and you can use that money to buy nicer stuff."

It's not an either/or proposition. It's both.

And what if they could afford health care (or rather the state stepped in) to help with that addiction/mental illness?

A study just done about a year ago in the City I live in, housed a fairly large number of the non-temporary homeless people (between 20 and 50 I want to say, the numbers escape me) in an apartment complex that provided basic social services and access to health care. They found that in actuality, this helped solve many of the long term problems (even if it did not solve all the problems for all the people), as these people now had access to health care, _AND_ it saved money, because these people were no longer ending up in the emergency room or the local jail (and a few other cost saving measures as well)

I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about.
Whilst an impressive demonstration, how is it an example of machine learning? It looks like lexical analysis to me.
> But riddle me this: what do you do when someone on BI has a financial emergency or, as will happen with some regularity, just flat-out blows all their money and now can't afford rent and/or food?

They still get the BI check every week which they can still use to buy food and pay the rent, so homelessness or starvation doesn't happen. Now they may have some other bills they can't pay, so their cable gets turned off and they lose their car and have to buy a fifteen year old one or carpool or take the bus.

I mean what happens now in that case? If wrap your car around a pole and don't have collision insurance the government isn't going to buy you a new car. If you rack up gambling debts the only thing Uncle Sam will give you is a ticket to bankruptcy court.
That's a nice idea. I will add it to the collection!
Unlike corporations, people don't hoard their money. They spend it. So this is a good thing for everyone long-term.
Seems to fall for a lot of easy traps. Garden path sentences ("The old man the boats" or "The horse raced past the barn fell") are parsed wrong, and it parses the two sentences/phrases "When he did that I laughed" and "When he said that I laughed" identically - by interpreting "that" as a preposition in both cases, which it isn't.

It's cool that it parses on the fly. But unless it parses correctly I don't see how it actually serves a purpose other than just looking cool.
Right or wrong, I think it might have to do with NPU being a non-profit. There've been plenty of articles on the scumminess of for-profit universities; far fewer on non-profits. Plus, the immigration angle is an item with high public interest today. I think the focus on NPU here (though perhaps warranted given the seriousness of these allegations) is also part of Buzzfeed's pattern of desire for high-profile stories.
> So changing visual aspects of reading can have an impact on the overall ease of reading for dyslexic readers, even if it's not directly easing the "dyslexic part" of the reader's struggles.

So... making fonts easier to read for everyone makes them easier to read for dyslexics? Who'd a thought...

> it is also true that if a large number of people who don't know each other all report the same phenomenon, there's a good chance it's happening.

True, but with no control case, you can only support your first premise: that making a font more readable is helpful for dyslexics. You can say that OpenDyslexic is more readable, but you haven't proven that it's more readable for dyslexics.
You can make the same argument about almost every government benefit/wealth transfer; food stamps fall under this category, as does a housing allowance, etc.
What if they borrow against that check and pledge next 10 years of payments?
Whenever anyone proposes universal healthcare in the US, I tell them two stories:

1) My aunt is an oncology nurse in a major city. A high percentage of her patients are from Canada, because they can get treated here for their cancer, and are unable to get those treatments in Canada (or can't get them in a timely manner). Of course, these are only the patients who can afford to pay it out of pocket or have supplemental health insurance.

2) My dad developed a rare lung disease and was treated by the VA (which is government run healthcare for veterans of the US Armed Forces). They determined he needed a lung transplant to survive. It took them 18 months to run the tests necessary to determine if he was a candidate for a transplant, and due to the progressive nature of the disease, by the time they were done running their tests, a panel in DC determined he was no longer a viable candidate for a transplant, and sent him off to die[1]. As a last-ditch effort, he reached out to Mayo Clinic, who agreed to see him. They ran the same tests in 3 days, and determined that he was a candidate for a transplant. He got a new lung, and lived for three more years. I strongly suspect the delay in treatment cut his life short, but I'm not a doctor.

I do not want universal healthcare.

[1] People make fun of Sarah Palin and her "death panels", but they're a very real thing no matter what they're called.
I still think your last statement is unfair. At worst, the caveat is that the TSP solution is for any graph within a certain class of topologies.

2FA isn't limited to a single device. With 1Password, a TOTP code is available on my laptop, on my phone, on my watch, via an encrypted backup, etc. If you have access to a computer, you can access your second factor. That's not even counting paper backups as others have mentioned.

Not sure how anonymity factors in here. How can typing a number into your phone to set up TOTP then typing the resulting numbers back into your already-authenticated account deanonymize you?

Finally, yes, adding more security is a hassle. But if you're willing to add 5 seconds to your login on one account, I don't see why you'd be super against doing that for multiple accounts.

They don't have a responsibility to further discourse and I don't have a responsibility to hold my tongue when they fail in this regard.

I would argue that anyone who takes it upon themselves to become the central hub for most discourse (or to organize the world's information) has an implied responsibility to act as a good steward of the empire they seek to control. We have no obligation as members of the public to accept whatever controls a land-grabbing (I use this term here non-judgmentally) empire builder wishes to impose; they sought to turn us into members of their empires, so we should at least have the right to demand they behave equitably, and perhaps even beneficently.

Interesting stuff.

Actually this would just be a list which I would keep on adding to, I do not intend it to be machine readable at all. The purpose of this is to make non-math programmers less afraid while reading papers with some math symbols sprinkled in it.

If a programmer who is not that good at maths can keep up with the paper he is reading by forming a somewhat easier understanding of the paper by having a better understanding of the formulas then it achieves the purpose.

Think of it as a cheatsheet for programmers to understand those symbols, nothing more. I do not expect it to be complete with all maths formulae either, maybe 20 most frequently occurring.
