Not in the US for the most part. It was never enacted for tape and "only applies to CDs which are labeled and sold for music use" (which I'm not sure I've ever actually seen one of).
I do agree with your statement about "hosted song projects with interactivity baked in" but I don't think that will displace recordings.

I don't think we are headed to a post-recoring era. I think we are entering an era of MORE recording than ever. What used to take a studio, and a bunch of musicians, is now something you can do with a macbook, and a solid mic. The combination of social media (Facebook, twitter, instagram) and distribution platforms (youtube and soundcloud) not only lets one directly distribute but promote, and interact. For a lot of people in the US this means that "startup costs" to be a recording artist today are negligible.

On the consumption side, how often do you listen to music while engaged in a visual or physical task? Going for a run, commuting to work, washing the dishes, writing code... all settings where recorded music without interaction is something thats easy to consume.
I guess? What's weird is that while my comment is decently written, it's not like it particularly racked up much karma on Reddit to begin with (a whopping 3 points atm), the topic of VDOM management is not likely to be a huge hotbed of upvotes anyway, and the fact that I was replying to someone else to begin with means that just dropping it in here obviously makes it read very awkwardly.

Strange.

My preferred answer (although others may differ) is that it should be the same for everyone. If you can't afford to live where you are now, move somewhere cheaper or get a job. If you're jobless and can't afford an expensive city that means the economy is telling you to make room for someone who can make productive use of the limited space in an area that many need to be to work together.

If you want to stay near family and friends, find a nice cheap place an hour or two away, if you want a shorter commute that's a luxury, not a necessity, and you should work for it.

Basic incomes are for the minimum needed to live a decent life, living in a specific expensive location is a luxury you should have to work for.
This was already useful with him saying that Barton was a brilliant engineer. I have one paper with his name on it, sent by pjmlp, that describes his design of modern computing:

https://de.scribd.com/doc/61812037/Barton-B5000

He describes need for ALGOL-like programming languages, how they'll be implemented, training people, and early notions of hardware/software co-design. Also, touches on various aspects of ALGOL that could be turned into a CPU. Later, helps design and build one that's essentially the first, business mainframe plus the first of mostly-safe, truly-engineered computers.

http://www.smecc.org/The%20Architecture%20%20of%20the%20Burr...

Later, another Burroughs guy, Anderson, uses similar engineering mindset invents INFOSEC per Roger Schell who expanded on his work. Another hired by Intel puts the MMU and segments in there to give security developers a chance. All may ultimately trace to Barton's work and framework for thinking about machines from high-level to hardware. Worth highlighting and becoming more clear thanks to Kay's little remark that tells me who brains of operation probably was among many author's names I see in various places.

Has Wikipedia page it turns out:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_S._Barton

Note: Reading this, he may be the inventor of practical, abstract machines as computing solutions. He also taught lots of success stories in industry. Wonder what else he would've done if he stayed in industry.
Indeed, he's probably subtracting the revenue from the tax from the "cost", which is misleading.
This is a very bold bet. It would not work in the US, at least without some kind of revolution in public transit. There are plenty of places where not owning a car means you basically cannot have a job or a social life, and many of these are far from any existing EV stations.

It will take a long time to replicate the network of petrol stations that covers basically all US roads. Also, modern EV cars are still an order of magnitude slower to recharge than gasoline cars are to refill. It's not as easy to increase your range in an EV as it is to carry some extra petrol if you're on a long trip into the brush.

Fortunately, I don't see this even being seriously proposed in the US until long after these problems are solved.
this is most likely ray traced, ie, not computed in real time and not on the client computers
Keep in mind that while the post is poetic, he mentions getting rich in an IPO, and references Peter Thiel. So when he says wealth doesn't make you happy, he's saying something like "the difference between 10 million and 50 million isn't that great". My understanding is that there's some evidence of diminishing returns beyond $60k/yr in the US. (And a related psychological concept: hedonic treadmill.)

For regular working people like me, while I do have to wrestle with work/life balance--even if one is comfortable not having a lot of personal time to chill or pursue non-work stuff, there are social expectations (and I'm single, with a spouse and kids it's even tougher)--but still, I feel like anyone who wants to lecture me about money not being that important should maybe commit to paying my utility bills first. (In fact I feel money even helps with the aforementioned social expectations, i.e. if I have some resources of my own and feel somewhat secure then I can better support other people and participate in other activities.)

To sum up, I liked this tweet: "Life goal: write one of those 'now I’m rich but it didn’t really make me happy' blog posts." https://twitter.com/kevindente/status/738126854180077568
Sorry but Alan Kay's name dropping history does not stimulate me intellectually.
That doesn't seem like a huge issue to me. Give everyone the same amount and then let them work harder to live where they want or relocate to a place where the UBI exceeds the cost of living.

There are already neighborhoods now where most people, including me, cannot afford to live, and I don't see it as a tremendous injustice.
You really don't see the hypocrisy in your statement?

If you created a department to give out money for emergencies, the number of people applying and the amount of paper work required would surely cost less than the current system for benefits?
Less compassionate to those undeserving of it, sure. Isn't that a good thing? I'm not a fan of UBI but this aspect might turn out to be really beneficial in reversing the perverse incentives and dysgenic effects of current social benefits programs.

If you are relaxed and trained you can dodge the punches because it takes time for them to reach you.

You really have to be aware of what is happening though, it's hard to learn not to flinch/close your eyes when the hand is flying to you. But if you are completely relaxed and see it coming, with good footwork and balance you can dodge many of them. You don't actually have to move your head that much, it's just the tiniest distance that will take you away from the trajectory of the punch. The thing with punches is that once you throw a punch, you can't really change its direction or it will lose most of the momentum and speed... That's why it's possible to dodge them, because they fly into particular spot and you can just move away.

It's important because it lets you counter instantly. You can only really hit somebody when they are exposed, meaning not holding the guard - so when they are punching. If you were to block the punch with your hands, you couldn't react as quickly because your hands wouldn't be in the ready position. It's really good skill to have but takes years and years of practice to develop.
Eventually someone is going to figure out how much money they're making in their market. Maybe someone they bragged to at a mixer, or maybe an employee of one of their customers.

It's very hard to stay competitive when you have nobody to compete with, and expanding your product into new markets can, perversely, give you competition because you paint a target on your head (hey, we do X, and they're taking our X lunch, we should start doing Y and see how they like it).

Maybe a little bit of growth would be good for them. Me, I like about a 25-30% growth rate a year. As a lead dev I've always struggled to keep up with the changing team dynamics when it's bigger than that, and most of my peers have had similar experiences, differing only by degree.

I don't think I've ever seen someone manage more than a 2x growth rate without the wheels coming off, and yet I've seen many try 5-10x and flame out in the process.

So for them to ramp up without growing pains, they could easily add one person this year, another in about 8 months, and another 6 months after that. As the team gets bigger you can hire people more often, because you're used to it and your protocols for absorbing new people get better and better. Just remember to assign some of those people to trying to do more with what you already have, and identifying frugal expenditures that have multiplier effects (I've had to beg for $5000 in hardware and gotten another FTE instead so many times it's become a cliche). The working smarter aspect will keep your team lean and build a lot of confidence they'll need when a competitor or a fractious customer finally shows up.
In the US, for normal personal accounts,

- Only some banks have the ability to initiate an arbitrary ACH transfer online (transfer between accounts that you own at other banks is a little bit more common).

- Even fewer of those banks make this feature free.

- Sometimes it is very well hidden inside the "Online Bill-Pay" feature (which wants you to search for an institutional payee by name), and no indication is given that you might use it to pay someone who is not a large corporate biller.

- Credit card companies and utilities usually provide a feature to give them your account number so that they do ACH withdrawals from their side automatically. They like it because you can't forget to pay. You should be wary of it because money just disappears from your account with no action taken on your part, and that's scary. A push-based option is much rarer - they will never just give you an account/routing number to push money to.

- There is never under any circumstances any kind of fee to write or deposit a check (provided it doesn't bounce).

- Usually your first couple of checkbooks are free (or pennies per check). If your banking relationship is large enough, then depending on your bank subsequent checkbook orders may be free as well.

- Far and away the easiest, least risky, most comfortable way to pay someone you are sitting next to is for you to write a check, and for them to take a picture of it with their mobile banking app.

Yes, it's idiotic.
I'm trying hard to figure out why someone want to use something like this or React, when vanilla HTML, CSS and JavaScript seems much easier and more performant. The only thing I can think of is that appendChild is a bit tedious, but createClass seems even more boilerplate.
The thing is, I don't think it can happen politically. What is going on now is just the research stage so that we have some sort of data point for UBI supporters to latch onto.

There are all sorts of groups inside the UBI tent, and many of them disagree with each other violently, but we're so far from a UBI that for now, everyone can agree on it in the broadest possible way.

I, personally, have a completely different take on all of this from most UBI'ers. I take the long view: in 50 years, physical labor could be eliminated. WTF do we do when this happens? Do we relegate half of society to be homeless? Or do we begin the slow march towards eliminating work altogether.

Few talk about this scenario, and those that do often tack on "... and then Skynet takes over and robots enslave us all." Yet, it's still a very valid discussion to be having. I think all this UBI research and interest is in furtherance of the elimination of work, altogether. That's not something that will happen over night, or even in 10 years, but in order for it to happen, humanity needs to begin gathering the data points necessary to enact a solution to the end of work problem.

In the short term, this would eliminate social safety nets, but let's be honest, this is NEVER going to happen in America without a revolution of some kind. Whenever that happens, hopefully the UBI research will be far enough along to support a movement to enact it.

What does isomorphic library mean in the context of Javascript ecosystem ?
Dynamic linking certainly has no technical advantages like lower memory/disk usage or faster processing. Its main advantage, which has been cited before, is that it forces cohesion in the Linux community.

E.g if an author of a program finds a problem in the dynamic library he or she is using, the problem is forced to be solved upstream, benefitting all users of the library. If instead static linking was the norm, it is much more likely that the author would just solve the problem for him or herself and the solution would never reach the wider community.

In the best of worlds, we would have static linking everywhere but the "social contract" of dynamic linking would be enforced just as strongly.
These languages so similar you can hold a conversation speaking Norwegian while someone else is speaking Swedish or Danish right back at you.

Great test case though as they build an infrastructure to do this with other languages eventually.
I don't agree with this sentiment. I've seen having a "consistent identity" get in the way of a discussion for a variety of reasons:

- Ad hominem attacks

- Disclosing hypocrisy (as a logical fallacy)

- Celebrity posters distracting from the subject

- Appeals to authority

Consistent identity is a no-brainer within the context of a single post; beyond that, there are downsides.
I find it really interesting that all of the replies to this comment take the fact that animals will consume dairy if it's available as an argument in favor of human consumption of it. Humans are the only animals, that as adults, take the milk of another mammal for their own consumption.

For that matter, other than the isolated, exceptional cases of a lactating mammal adopting the orphans of another mammal and nursing them, humans are the only mammals that consume the milk of a different species.

Cats drinking from a saucer of milk put on the floor in front of them is nothing like milking a cow — except, I suppose, at the level of digesting lactose.
Social Security trust funds have been used to keep our dollar/treasuries inflated and are one of the biggest customers of those bonds. They will always have a buyer and part of the reason they are in demand since the mid 1930s. When people talk about removing SS they don't realize what it would do to treasuries as a product, demand would be much lower and so would the value of the dollar.

Every home is a slow charger. Tesla has Superchargers covering most of the first world.

I'm sorry libertarians, but you can't just throw a equal amount of cash at everybody and say good luck. Society just isn't that simple. Different people have different needs, and that's where the complex overhead of a bureaucracy comes in.

I've used it for a while, and overall I love it. Easily my favorite language by a large margin I've been paid to use.

We use it exclusively on the server side at Verizon Labs, and it's quite beloved by all. We lean hard on the functional side of things and make heavy use of what some people call 'advanced features', but because of our micro services infrastructure even the teams new to Scala can be productive in a less functional style, and refactor later to be more idiomatic.

I do think large teams need to have enough language experts to help from making some bad design decisions, but I have plenty of productive coworkers who are new to the language and learning as they go.

I really don't agree about the 'maintainability fears' or 'write only' language criticisms. 'Bad' Scala is still so much better than bad java, and good scala is phenomenal to work with. Because of the type system, I have a high level of confidence when working with unfamiliar code and making minor changes.

Smart folks with no exposure to functional programming are picking up the 'advanced' features very quickly with the right training and guidance. I would not recommend it to a team who has on one with any experience in the language, but if a team can hire those who have experience with the language, even if it's just a fraction of the overall team, I'd be confident they could succeed.

There are real downsides:

* slow compile times

* IDEs can struggle with advanced libraries (Scalaz)

* some language features are 'sharp' (implicit conversions)

* finding developers who know scala

We're overcoming the first one by the fact that we're already a microservices shop.

The IDE issue doesn't affect me, I'm on Vim, many coworkers on Sublime/Ecmacs.

If you go crazy with implicit conversions it can cause issues, but again we try to mitigate this with some training and having enough advanced users of the language/code reviews to show everyone how to relegate using conversions for syntactic sugar or typeclass conversions.
If only we had ever invented a way for users (agents) to signal their preferences to remote servers.

What's that, cookies exist? Someone tell people, it seems everyone believes those are just for invading user privacy. (Wikipedia included)
We should probably not position ourselves where we require an inflated dollar then, since those trust fund dollars are going to be drawn down as everyone ages onto Social Security.

I switched from Chrome to Vivaldi a few weeks ago after reading about it in Ars Technica. The quick commands and customization options are awesome, and with widescreen monitors, I find I can't live without the tab tiling & tab grouping. I've been using Vivaldi exclusively and love it, but it does lack a few things that I would find hugely beneficial:

* No sync feature (though it's been "in progress" for some time without an ETA)

* DevTools are not dockable to the browser or customizable with Chrome extensions (e.g. React dev tools won't work)

* Extensions that modify the New Tab Page don't work, though you can set a custom URL for each new tab to go to

* Extensions that take screenshots seem to be hit or miss whether they work

* Downloads panel could use a few more enhancements (show download speed, allow drag n' drop from downloads panel to file form controls on browser)

Otherwise, I love it. Performance is on par with Chrome and my most critical extensions work flawlessly in it (i.e. Dashlane).

I agree. I tell people to play games like Poker and Starcraft instead. Poker because it teaches you how to spot and perform bluffs useful in real-world situations. Plus, keep your calm as money in pot grows. Starcraft because it combines board positions, fog of war, strategic thinking, real-time reactions, bluffs, and opponent bluffs. Nearly ideal type of strategy game except that it's so fast that hand-eye coordination becomes limit among pro's. Turn-based strategy with time limit per move could be best in theory but I know less great one's there outside Sid Meier's stuff. Just not knowledgeable.
Well, it used to be that infant mortality was a lot bigger, some of which was probably infants dying to things they were exposed to. So we can't just ignore survivorship bias in considering these things.

In general, we're probably better off with controlled, safe exposures (e.g. vaccines) than uncontrolled exposure and simply hoping we'll survive anything we catch.
That's so awful.

My opinion is rather than outright banning fuel-burning, we should just ban releasing their emissions to the atmosphere.
