Very cool, thanks for sharing. I was wondering if I'd be able to find something like CP/M "out there", or if I'd have to write my own OS. Of course, writing an OS would be fun in it's own right, and I'd like to take a stab at that some day as well...
Cool, bookmarked!

This is an excellent article. The DAO wanted to eliminate politics. But that is not really possible, due to the nature of human psychology and the human situation. You are always going to get cheaters, errors, unanticipated situations, and honest disagreements, all of which will require real human beings to make decisions and have the power to enforce them. Ethereum contracts can at best considerably reduce the number of situations.

And politics is always imperfect, the only question is how to do it as well as possible, and that takes intelligent judgement and at least occasionally a lot of luck.
I down-voted this entire thread. Not because I didn't chuckle, but because thid is exactly the low-quality reddit style conversation HN has been able to successfully avoid so far. The risk isn't the isolated comment, it's every thread becoming a gag.
>If you reduce the supply of labor, the working class will see its wages increases. This is Economics 101

No, this is not economics 101. Cost of living will go up as supply of workers dwindles. Also, every worker is also a consumer. Someone who earns $50k will in turn spend that money or put it into banking or investments or savings for later spending.
The only reason I posted was to state that I am a counterexample. That is all that I wish to say here.

> For a lot of things, I see countries of the EU are _more_ unanimous on topics than the US is internally.
The death penalty is a prime example. It varies state to state in the US, but (AFAIK) is consistent across EU countries.

Ah. I wasn't trying to say we as a country have univeral political positions, but rather shared beliefs and values. Americans certainly don't agree on the death penalty, gun ownership, the limits of free speech, or hell, even gambling, but most everyone believes in things like one man one vote and equality (once again, even if we behave differently sometimes for the latter).
I added that to my comment a moment after submitting because it was important. Parent was probably already reading/replying at that time.
Hispanics turn out to vote at lower rates than whites. Why should anyone care what they think?

I get the point that you're trying to make and you're not entirely wrong. But I think you're ignoring structural factors that lead to certain group's voices being under heard in the body politic. Those groups should be responsible for reforming themselves sure. But those outside the groups are a little bit responsible too.

The irony of that post is it doesn't use any of the persuasion tricks he talks about. I almost wonder if it was meant as a parody.

In the US anyways, I had always associated "the left" with equality values, the side of science, truth, sanity. Pro civil rights. Etc. I have no love for conservative values (oppression of marriages, religion, etc.) But online I see so much censoring of things the left doesn't like. Not even arguments, just screaming racist/bigot/etc. Look at those protests: it's just people screaming slogans and yelling down anyone that talks. (Like that famous Bernie rally where people got on stage and said they'd shut him down if they weren't given the mic right now.)

So I don't bring it up as much - some folks get really upset when I do. And it's always the same. "He's racist! He's an idiot!" If I lived in a liberal/urban area I think it'd be very hard to have friends if I let my views known. I bet there's tons of people like this and it's gonna be a big shock when the votes come in.

I really like the Philosophy course. The new one on video games is leaving something to be desired though.
Because there are still people, such as myself, that occasionally use heavily metered connections, and the percentage of people to whom this applies will not drop to zero in any foreseeable future.

So I suppose the real question is: even though there are users that need this, will they soon be few enough to justify ignoring ignoring them? Is this already the case? (I'll admit my snark was unnecessary, but Apple's position on this is completely incompatible with the way I and many other people use computers.)
From what I understand, this is exactly what chip and signature solves and adding a PIN does little. The "credit card numbers" a chip produces are one time use, so skimming them is worthless. And if the POS system is really and truly owned, it still gets to see the PIN.

The only thing a PIN protects against is stolen cards. But it also creates the presumption that any stolen card that is used was the users fault because she gave up the PIN. This is problematic especially if coupled with a liability shift. There is a long line of work by [0] about these problems in England.

Sorry, I forgot your weren't seriously asking - just trying to be caustic.

Not that you genuinely care, otherwise you could have evolved your position by going to Trumps website where there is an entire section devoted to immigration issues. Beyond your MSNBC-Tier talking points about Wall & Ban Muslims; e-verify, defund sanctuary city curtailing the current laws, detention of illegals, criminal penalties to visa overstays and many more.

Your appeal to authority style argument won't be a very strong one, so I won't be finding "respected" economists who agree with me.

I've stopped drinking Soylent since I found out that it contains more than the recommended amount of soy in a single meal.

Excess soy has been found to "feminize" men [1]. It also "may cause some reversible sexual disruption in men".

Researchers decided the safe amount of soy (isoflavones) in a single day is 75mg [2]. If you drink Soylent as one of three meals in a day, Soylent contains about 87mg (52mg * 5 bottles / 3 meals a day) [3].

Even without border wall, if all those measures are implemented immigrating illegally to US will make less economic sense. Also a lot of immigrants will self-deport after they fail to get any job due to e-verify enforcement.

* Triple the number of ICE officers.

* Enhanced penalties for overstaying a visa.

* Detention—not catch-and-release.

* Defund sanctuary cities. Cut-off federal grants to any city which refuses to cooperate with federal law enforcement.

* Nationwide e-verify. This simple measure will protect jobs for unemployed Americans.

* End birthright citizenship.

And of course, "uncontrolled immigration" also implies "uncontrolled emigration". There are quite a few British expats in the rest of Europe who may find their new work permit status uncertain. (And who found it difficult to vote in the referendum).

When those people are pro "reconquista" or saying Make California Mexico Again, maybe. But I'm afraid of what it says about a growing part of the population that thinks it's good or OK. I think it shows a terrible divide forming. Maybe the melting pot has cooled off and we're getting chunky.

Basic voter file data is available from many states directly under FOIA, sometimes for free. It's public records. If there are secrets that shouldn't be disclosed in these records, the bad guys already have them.

What about a savoury drink like a Bloody Mary?
Exactly, it's a classic tragedy of the commons situation. The most rational move is to maximize your own gain, despite the obvious collective result.

There are conditions that can cause the rational action to switch to self-moderation, but I don't see any of them being likely in this scenario.

That's absurd. Nobody's censoring anything here. Apple not wanting to add a new gun emoji is in no way preventing you from talking about guns. Emoji isn't a replacement for English and nobody is forcing you to "speak" in all emoji.

I think it is the accumulation of people not wanting to learn something new (fear of the unknown), managers not knowing about it (misaligned agendas) and executives wanting the peace of mind of knowing the job will be done (because it has been done the same way many times over).

Same reasons many things in technology remain prevalent when they're the worst possible tools (allow me to only name PHP to avoid a useless war).

>without external guiding force, them choosing what's best for all longer-term would literally be a miracle

Do you agree that have had quite a few miraculous people in our history as a nation? Many founding fathers, presidents, judges, military service members, and the like have chose what is best for the long-term at the expense of themselves.

I am trapped by your logic on this one anyway - the rich can't or only in a "miraculous" case chose a non-self enriching endeavor; so the discussion is futile, in your world, no human can solve this issue. Hopefully Google can get that Skynet system up and running soon, to resolve all these issues! :D
> But dig down deep: what terrifies you about Trump?

His arrogance. (Some will level the same criticism at Hillary, and I don't disagree as much as those people might expect. But Trump is on another level.)

His narcissism. I mean, seriously: he's giving a press conference on the morning after the Brexit vote and he spends the first several minutes talking about his golf course??? [0]

His astounding shallowness. He doesn't know, or even care, about how things really work. Impugning the integrity of a sitting Federal judge, without a shred of evidence except that the case is going against him (as it almost certainly should, from what I've read), shows an utter lack of respect for the institutions this country is built on. That in itself would be terrifying in any major Presidential candidate.

I doubt he's even an honest businessman. That's not based on much, I admit, except the Trump University case, but it would be consistent with what else I know about him.

I don't think he believes in anything except himself. I don't think he has any positions except that he should be in charge. And wisdom is a foreign concept to him -- he doesn't even care that he has none.

> And he's 70 years old, he's not going to change.

I see you've been reading Scott Adams.

Yes, Trump is intelligent -- all the more terrifying, given his other qualities -- and has mastered both the art of persuasion and that of acting powerful. He invites people to project Father onto him, telling them he'll take care of them. And that is something a lot of people are very eager to do.

I think you should ask your fellow Mississipians if they know how things are in Putin's Russia.

This data is generally public, right?

Unless it's a dataset that is linked to other metadata, I don't get the big deal here. In my state, I'm pretty sure you just walk in and can see the voter rolls without even a FOIA request.
While it's an official confirmation it was already very clearly mentioned several months ago.
I guess there is no point in arguing if you think this way. Paraphrasing Edward Snowden, if you don't work to protect privacy because the threat to YOU is not clear, you shouldn't work to protect free speech if you're not the one being silenced.

A big problem is that the threat to you exists, but is subtle: society gets worse when we allow this to happen to all those people that we would consider heroes years in the future but are deemed (sometimes by the letter of the law, sometimes not) criminals right now. Conformity for the forest by pruning the trees.
I'm amazed the powder is still selling well enough to warrant further development after the release of the drink form. It's it primarily an issue of the drink being too expensive for many?

I am pretty sure British are OK with you (aka somebody paying 1K/week in taxes) staying in UK. At worst you will have to get work visa with minimal efforts no matter what. In contrast to US, UK has well functioning visa system for highly qualified workers

Free movement of labour benefits workers in poor countries immigrating to UK and mostly affluent/rich UK citizens working in Europe. It's of no use to middle class and down - they are not moving anywhere. If EU stopped at free movement of stuff and did not do free movement of labor (beyond visa free travel), it would have been much better union.

Blaming UK voters for Spanish stock exchange losses is just asinine - generally you should pay very little attention to daily stock market moves when decided policy for next 50 years. It's too finicky and move for no reason at all.
Thank you for this comment!
The idea is similar, but the implementation differs a lot: Gauntlt is a gem that will help you run multiple scanners, but won't extend scanner capabilities such as controlling the speed, add custom headers, etc. That's what Gauntlet does, including issue management on the interface for you to classify, notify people, build teams around applications and much more, without needing to know how to configure any of such tools. Gauntlt requires you to host it and Gauntlet is a SaaS. One of the reasons to be a SaaS is to reduce the complexity of running scanners. Of course, the name is almost the same, thanks for pointing out, although it have a reason. The name Gauntlet comes from physical punishment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_the_gauntlet) and it's like an app being 'punished' by multiple scanners. And as far as I know Gauntlt doesn't seem to be that active. And as I dug into it, I can tell: there are many things to do in order to make all scanners work together. It's more complex than it looks. But, anyway, thank you for pointing out.
On HN/Reddit, everyone has an interest in it. In real life, not so much :-)

Also I guess it depends on what kind of programming... frontend devs probably care more about it than embedded devs.
Can you explain why this will not happen? A UBI is an income redistribution scheme. Higher income brackets must necessarily pay more than they receive, one way or another. Is it problematic? Sure, but so are all sorts of programs already in effect.

I found it interesting that a "right-to-information (RTI)" activist would be against encryption, calling national security reasons. It seems RTI is the Indian version of FOIA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_Information_Act,_2005) which confuses me even more - how are those connected?

I could kind of see how the plaintext communication makes bribery and similar things harder (which is what RTI should prevent), but if that's the reasoning it seems to be really backwards.
You do realize this is not an "election" procedure, right? "Election" implies that some group of people is choosing their rulers or representatives. Given that this obviously disenfranchises the vast majority of the population even more than now, I must infer that you don't consider the popular will a factor that should play a major part in government.

Also, even granting that IQ tests are as reliable as you assume, you still need to justify a few things:

- Why do you assume the comparative advantage of these extraordinarily IQ people is to spend time as a representative, rather than in academia, science, business, non-elected positions in government, etc? I'm not convinced that the 0.1% most intelligent people make a particularly better voting body than the top 1%, or for that matter the top 15% percent, which certainly includes the majority of our elected representatives today.

- It's been argued that rationality and intelligence in the sense measured by IQ tests are not particularly closely correlated, so I'm not sure why extreme quickness of thought should be privileged in particular for representative positions. Related to that, there seem to be a large number of high-IQ cranks that I wouldn't want to trust the fate of an entire nation to -- for example, Mencius Moldbug.

- Do you have any particular reason to believe that the high IQ members of this body would vote for the good of the entire nation, rather than in their own interests (granted, you've already privileged them with your proposal to use IQ tests pervasively in society)? 0.1% of the US is 320,000, and though your mechanism might prevent the small number of representatives at a given time from enriching themselves to Third World-dictator standards, I don't see any reason they wouldn't grant all 0.1% highest IQ people a $1m per-annum -- it would only cost $320b/year, less than 10% of the 2016 federal revenue.

This mostly sounds like a technocratic wet dream to me -- you could have Robin Hanson rule the U.S with no opposition at all.
