> For which services/products do you think you're missing and would be ready to pay for

This isn't an individual virtue thing, it's a government/society thing. But there's lots things that could be valued, especially infrastructure stuff, for instance:

1. Better quality roads that are better maintained

2. Catching up on neglected maintenance of public infrastructure (e.g. bridges, etc).

3. New water projects in California needed to meet current demand. I recently read that no major projects have been undertaken since the 70s even though the population there has greatly increased.

4. List mile fiber to homes, even in rural areas.

5. Better public transit.

6. Building redundancy into critical infrastructure systems where it doesn't currently exist.

7. etc.

That's just a bunch of random stuff I listed off the top of my head. If unemployed people are sitting idle, why shouldn't society pursue projects like these or similar?
It's also related to the lack of diversity in tech. Arcane complexity affords an easy way to exclude people from the club in a passive-aggressive indirect way. It's similar to how some religions use complicated systems of ritual, symbol, dietary restriction, etc. to determine who is 'in' and who is 'out'.

The thing is there's nothing wrong with this per se. If the goal is to create a place where geeks can show off to other geeks, that's totally cool. But don't get angry or self-righteous when people who are not in an elitist exclusionary club do not use the tools of that club but instead choose 'mainstream' options like Slack, Facebook, etc. After all you are intentionally making it hard for them to use your tools. The complexity and arcana are screaming "go away! this is not for you!"

I've personally grown to loathe arcane complexity for its own sake and see it as a sign not of "elite hax0r skillz" but of inferior intelligence and laziness. True genius simplifies, explains, clarifies, and creates things that are elegant because that is harder. Simplicity requires so much more effort and intelligence than complexity.
Would this solution allow one to secure multiple TLDs on one Heroku endpoint/application?
Quite agreed. The view that to be an authentic contributor to OSS, I need to use only OSS tools makes no sense to me. It's not even about my time (although that's part of it), it's about using the best tool for the job. If that tool happens to be closed-source, so be it.

There's been no "fall of open source." If anything, OSS is increasingly the default for tools. And old, closed source tools are being opened up--for example, Microsoft's massive releases of source for their dev tools.
> 1. How does it reach travelers from around the world?

Research in the early 1990s on software agents/bots/multi-agent systems went from the assumption that the Internet would lead to a decentralized marketplace with many vendors and independent markets, and your agent/bot would go out and find/place bids on products and services for you. Capital investment and economies of scale have instead lead to near-monopolies (Amazon, Paypal, eBay, Craigslist, now Uber and AirBnB).

It seems like the decentralized marketplace idea cannot work because of trust issues - a lot of capital is needed to deal with vetting, fraud and disputes on e-commerce platforms. A good example of what happens when that is not handled properly is Aliexpress.
Really cool article! I had always gone on the assumption that hand size was a factor but the article made a great point on the fact that Kawhi Leonard(who has huge hands) still shot well above 80%.
PagerDuty is one of the unique companies you can hate (because it wakes you up in the middle of the night) but also love and recommend to everyone. If you don't have it in your stack, get it.
"But not the money to pay for these jobs."

We, the society, make the money. We could decide today that this is financed, either through printing, or through taxing. No theoretical problem.

Practically, those with the most resources have decided that they don't think we should take of those resources to support those with the least resources. But there's nothing inevitable about that. Historically, elite that are too powerful and too uncaring about the masses, end up on the guillotine/firing line/bottom of a pit.

The derivative is the rate of change. If I chose any two points to the left and right to the local extremum, they are non-zero and have different signs. Since there has to be a zero between those two points, the local extremum must have a derivative of zero.

That's the line of reasoning I would go. Looking at a graph, searching for exceptions and concluding that there aren't any is probably as easy in this case. Like probably most people I have a harder time thinking about epsilon-delta proofs.

>Do you find graphs to represent data useless and you would rather look at long lists of numbers?

No, graphs are great. They sacrifice precision to show simple relations between large amounts of numbers, and are really good at that. Numbers a row of numbers can't do that (the closest equivalent to a line graph is to replace each but the first number with their difference to the previous number, but that's still inferior). Natural language is lacking precision at reasonable density for the job.

So graphs are pretty much the only decent tool for their job we have invented so far.

Shishupala Vadha: Sanskrit poem with wordplay and ingeniously constructed verses
> In the end, the San Francisco measure to restrict Airbnb was defeated 55% to 45%. “Coming out of that, the light bulb went on over our head,” says Lehane. “There’s a huge community here that is passionate, that’s inspired … and has an awful lot of economic self-interest tied into it.”

Interesting. They are exploiting one of the known weaknesses of democracies: a small group of highly invested people can prevail over the collective good of a larger group of people that is more broadly negatively impacted. think lobbyists or other "special interest" that socializes externalities.

Airbnb: lawless and racists, and now exploitative.
Most sports are zero-sum in the sense that over a given set of matches, the number of wins has to equal the number of losses.

Obviously not every sport is that way. A major marathon might have one male and one female winner among 30,000 entrants.
Which, IMHO, is perfectly reasonable. Your fingerprints are used by the government for /identification/, just like your driver's license. It's not a password. You are required to surrender your fingerprints when you are arrested. It's not compelled speech because it's an identification marker, not a password.

If you do have a runin with the police, just reboot your phone by holding down the power and home button for 10 seconds. Or, if you actually have something to hide, just don't use Touch ID.
I think you missed the point. What I read from the statement is that Warren was not good at sports (arbitrary discipline not matching his forte for illustration) so he would suck in an economy focused around it. What he implies is that a lot of people suck at most of the fields that are in great demand, but also come with requirements that they just can't adjust to.. Especially with advanced age and with the disciplines commanding a certain amount of effort to master them (think years or decades). Most people are not very flexible and even the flexible people have their limits to adopt as the professions get more demanding on the menial side of preparation.

ps. I wanted to imply that professions and sought for jobs change faster than generations pass in recent times, which adds to the challenge of training people (especially with the still used model of train once, execute until pension model).

pps: oh, and low level grunt work for the folks that don't fancy studying is contracting fast, which compounds the problem.. you'll always have quite a few of these and they do have an impact.
I was referring to server side. If you're really serious about security, you probably want to isolate the login process to a dedicated server. If your web server is breached, do you really want your auth keys leaked? And do you really want access to your user's creds available en masse to the breached server?

If you're running a small scale service, you're unlikely to build a dedicated login service. If you're running a large scale service, you probably should.

Edit: Based on Thomas's answers here, I am wrong about this, so I guess take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

Of course, but that's neither here nor there. Those are not classical conservative views. The point is that you would be hard pressed to find a definition of Western culture that excludes hard line Islamism unless you also include important parts of the contemporary western political discourse.

Scientifically: There are people from disparate countries who believe that they suffer from a condition called `EM hypersensitivity`, and are convinced they must live in remote areas away from radios to avoid sickness or headaches. In the handful of published studies that exist, evidence points to an inability of these people to distinguish between exposure and non-exposure in a laboratory setting.

Anecdotally: I can definitely "feel" large AC transmission lines. They do have an audible buzz, however the "feeling" sensation seems distinct to me. My experience is from hiking the Appalachian Trail, which spends days outside of cell phone range, and then crosses regional transmission lines periodically.

So if that observation is not pure illusion or auditory synesthesia (perhaps a fully deaf person can assist here?), it would seem to follow that there is a mechanism to sense EM radiation, and it is simply a matter of whether the perceptive threshold has been met, which would obviously vary from person to person and even from instant to instant.

So you're assuming the session tokens are authenticated with a shared key. I guess that makes sense from a perf standpoint. It seems iffy from an isolation standpoint, though. I wouldn't think you would want every server holding effectively global auth keys.

Edit: I guess this is actually a good case for the 2CH described here. The long-session cookie could be cryptographically signed, while the short-session cookie could be authenticated with a shared key that gets rotated frequently so that a leak of the key cannot cause a long-term compromise.
That's the meaning of "runaway" - Notepad++ had a search&replace that went into a somewhat random, long and uninterruptible loop if you were replacing using some types of regex and searhing forward in the file - you had to search backwards.
No, I understand that, but the problem with his analogy is that he's deliberately picked a field where one person's success is matched equally by another person's failure. He's overstating his case by projecting the image of the work economy being like getting dunked on by Lebron James day-in day-out.
> Recorde proposed three mathematical terms by which any power (that is, index or exponent) greater than 1 could be expressed: zenzic, i.e. squared; cubic; and sursolid, i.e. raised to a prime number greater than three, the smallest of which is five. Sursolids were as follows: 5 was the first; 7, the second; 11, the third; 13, the fourth; etc.

> Table of powers, symbols and names or descriptions form 0 to 24 by Samuel Jeake, written in 1671
Therefore, a number raised to the power of six would be zenzicubic, a number raised to the power of seven would be the second sursolid, hence bissursolid (not a multiple of two and three), a number raised to the twelfth power would be the "zenzizenzicubic" and a number raised to the power of ten would be the square of the (first) sursolid. The fourteenth power was the square of the second sursolid, and the twenty-second was the square of the third sursolid.

A truly awful system.
>Regulation isn't causing this; automation is causing this.

Neither regulation nor automation is causing this. Political-economic suppression of labor and productive enterprise in favor of rent-seeking is causing this.

Let's imagine an alternate universe in which different political choices were made. For instance, in the alternate universe, Elon Musk started a techno-progressive political party and swept into power in 2008, with a program calling for:

* Massive housing construction in urban areas

* Full repair of our famously-crumbling infrastructure

* Intercity Hyperloops for America's coastal corridors

* Light-rail and subway construction in the major cities

* Rural broadband everywhere

* Single-payer healthcare

* Reducing the underlying costs of health-care through better disease prevention

* Reducing the underlying costs of health-care through regenerative medicine designed to fight (and someday stop) aging-driven disease and death

Now, the major economic impact here is going to be massive, truly humongous amounts of growth in the state sector, most of it spent directly on employing people to reduce the carrying costs of the economy, increase productivity, and serve immediate human needs. Most of the specific projects to do so are things that we, in this universe, recognize and understand; the more radical projects that we don't already understand how to accomplish promise radical returns.

Putting aside how Elon Musk pays for it all, it would absorb a lot of what is, in our universe, excess labor in the construction and STEM R&D sectors. It would raise wages in the most direct way possible: by buying up labor and paying it to do stuff. It would also increase demand for manufactured goods, leading to either more manufacturing employment or more automation R&D.

That alternate universe is the economically normal universe -- this is what we've been fooled into forgetting. In that universe, unemployment, low growth rates, and low returns on investments in physical production indicate that useful inputs to production are lying fallow, useful stuff that could get done is not getting done.

Our universe is the weird one, in which relatively high unemployment and low growth are considered the normal state of affairs, with corrective intervention to use the idle resources sounding weird or impossible. The simplest reason someone would actually prefer our universe to Elon Musk's high-tech, job-filled, high-wage alternate universe is because they want labor to be cheap because they make their money from rents on monopolies, land, natural resources, and access to capital, and expensive labor is a threat to rents in general.

Sounds fun but I do more of a photo journal with my phone, which I keep with me always. On a normal day I'll maybe take a few photos. On a more notable day I'll have a few dozen at least. Scrolling back through my albums helps me remember lots! I like doing it this way because I do it without thinking about it; it's not really any extra work.
Hahaha :) To each his own, I guess. I would have never thought of anything involving a soldering iron!
Or let the phone's battery die. Passcode is required on cold restart too.
In my experience police / border guards in the west threat people worse in normal situations. In most of the rest of the world they are just local bureaucrats who are trying to get through their day without trouble. If you do something wrong it's mostly a bureaucratic process and you're not suddenly a suspected terrorist. Of course in less normal situations that might imply jail time or getting beaten up I'd take the western version.

First, false dichotomy. There is the possibility that they are taking too large a cut, and not charging enough to be profitable. But I don't think that's what the issue is.

I think that there's two perspectives here. One, Uber is a match-making service, and charging 20% to make an automated match on a server... That could seem excessive.

However, once you tack on things like boarding, marketing, development, legal fees, etc., it's possible that 20% isn't enough.
It's not; there are literally tens of thousands of new units currently under construction[1] in the City. The issue people have is most proposals for new construction in San Francisco consist almost exclusively of luxury housing.

There's no shortage of housing in San Francisco, only a shortage of affordable housing.

For #2, if by "business friendly", you mean anti-employee. Despite all this hoopla about California being "business unfriendly", it still leads in startups and innovation. Mainly because a lot of the talent wants to be in a place where they have freedoms, and don't have to worry about business taking their work done on off hours.

This is perhaps the speech I'm looking forward to the most even if it is only 5 minutes. I consider myself a republican; however, I disagree with most of the culture wars the evangelicals always get involved in. To me, economic policies are far more important. Thiel might get booed during his speech, but I hope people will take what he's saying to heart. I'm a republican and I love people of all races and genders. I wish my party would do more to show people that the two principles are not mutually exclusive.

At Emblem 21, we analyze not just the time, material, and energy costs for economic activity, but also the complexity components as well. Every economic activity consumes and yields complexity. This complexity is difficult to measure given its contextual nature, but it is encoded into the pricing of the transaction itself.

Currently working on very advanced neural networks to detect the edges of this contextual complexity.

Autonomous labor doesn't destroy jobs because the autonomous labor is also a consumer of complexity, energy, and time.

I don't see how that's a relevant response to my comment, as it doesn't answer my question. It's not really a matter of public policy, unless you're suggesting we some how legally prevent people from supporting family members who aren't working.

I was saying the government does lots of work. It doesn't always function great, but it does a lot right too.
I can't quite figure out which side you're arguing here. On the one hand you say that the triangle notation is awesome, but then you go on to use linear strings of symbols in exactly the manner that I was advocating. The whole point of the triangle notation (and all spatial notations in math -- subscripts, superscripts, the various arguments to sums, products, and integrals, etc) is that it's two-dimensional. That makes it really hard to render into ascii, which is one of the many reasons I think it's a bad idea.

I am certainly not arguing against teaching higher level concepts.

Training for those jobs takes time and resources. Not everyone who has lost their existing job will be able to invest those things at possibly getting another one.

Also, if you send a bunch of people into those fields, the cost of labor will drop, and they won't pay incredibly well for long.
