Your article does not explain why the infant mortality rate is so high there. I suspect that the behavior of people in that community, which the article states includes high rates of violence, including violence against children, is the primary cause of infant and non-infant mortality. You could build a world-class hospital in the middle of that community, and give away health care for free, and that community would still have high rates of mortality.

> I don't know if you've looked at how much gov't assistance is paying out, but it's not enough to live on.

Clearly it is, because these people don't have jobs and are able to afford housing, cars, TVs, Playstations, etc. How else are they paying for these things? Do you think they stole them? Clearly, the money they receive from the government is enough to live on. Maybe not enough to live comfortably, but enough.
I sometimes wonder if modern SciFi and games have actually kept up with the lessons they have already added to the collective culture over the years. If CERN suddenly had velociraptors pouring out of some gate they created, what would the real world reaction be? I'm betting it wouldn't be blind panic. I get the feeling the Swiss could handle it themselves.
Honestly, if you want people to take your claims seriously, you are going to have to get better at explaining them.

I clearly am going to decide you are talking nonsense, as you suggest, as you have still never said anything understandable. You say "you didn't understand my explanation if you assert it makes no predictive claims.".

Why don't you just make a predictive claim that could be tested?

There's a local (to me) Vegas startup trying to help people communicate with prisoners - https://techcrunch.com/2015/03/24/pigeon-ly/ - they bring up a good point that these people will be asked to reintegrate with society and to best do that we need to help them remain a part of it with regular communication with friends and family. The prison phone system runs entirely counter to this ideal.
Depends on the industry and the relative content of labor in the product, to name a couple of variables. US furniture making for example has been decimated by moving manufacturing to low-wage nations. It has not had a lot of success (as far as I can tell) with reshoring as off-shore labor and transport costs go up.
And not just 36% of their bitcoins. Apparently everyone is losing 36% of everything, ETH, LTC, USD, BTC. That would mean the Bitcoin loss would have to be 36% of assets, not 36% of bitcoin. I wonder if anyone realized bitfinex considered your other deposits as their own personal insurance against theft of bitcoin.
Do note that oppressive land-use regulation and NIMBYism has made this avenue harder and harder over the years. The cities with jobs and functioning societies have closed themselves off, or at least raised the buy-in to very high prices. This isn't the only barrier stopping people from internal migration, but it certainly is a fairly important one.

Bios is wonderful because it's limited; Nobody wants to try shoving more functionality into it. No system management, no drivers, nothing.

The bios loads your kernel, and then you get out and do your own thing. And that's the advantage of it.
> I've never had an Uber ride longer than 25 minutes.

Off-topic but am wondering if this meant that you've waited for an Uber for 20+ minutes? I live in SV so there's always an Uber within 10 minutes, was just curious if drivers would really go 15+ min for a ride.

It can also do a number of things:

* causes people to not travel far away and to spend their money in the local economy

* cause an increase in people using public transport to get into the city because it is now a nice experience inside the city

* increase the health of individuals that are walking more and breathing less pollution thus making the city a more desirable place to live

* revitalise local businesses in each area leading to a more diverse stronger local business

* increase the amount people spend because they're walking past shops rather than driving past them and ignoring them

But it might be in the interest of the customers. If Bitfinex can keep functioning (a big "if"), they will eventually make that $80M that got stolen.

Bitcoin exchanges generally are quite profitable enterprises, so I would say it's theoretically possible.

People bitch about groups of people they have little in common with. The urban poor bitch about the wealthy and the rural poor. The rural poor bitch about the wealthy and the urban poor. The wealthy bitch about the poor.

None of those groups are actually bitching about skin color, just using it as a crude grouping mechanism for people that are unlike them.
Thank you for this book!
Tiny minor remark (which sometimes happens to me, too).
Instead of:

//If the password matches, return true
if password == passwordFromDB {
return true
}
//by default return false
return false

This could simply be put as:

//If the password matches, return true
//by default return false
return password == passwordFromDB

"white privilege" is the relative advantage conferred by appearing white or having white heritage. Nobody (certainly not society at large) thinks that white people have a birthright to success.

actually, lots of people subscribe to the delusion that gov't programs for minorities are so overcorrecting that being born black is now a meal ticket. Insane.
Suppose you were to take an Indian a Chinese, or a Mexican and drop them in the US. Drop them 2 hours from NYC (Princeton or Long Island?), give them permission to work, and nothing else.

Do you think this person will be stuck in poverty forever, given that he's cut off from opportunity by a 2 hour train ride?

Also, I find your claim that people in New Haven or Poughkeepsie (approx 2 hours away) don't know they could find work in NYC simply implausible. I've had random conversations in broken Hindi with auto drivers; when they ask where I'm from and I tell them "New York", they immediately recognize it. Random people in South America, SE Asia, etc all seem to have a pretty good picture of what NYC is. Yet somehow someone from Allentown, PA doesn't?

No, it's actually being replaced mainly by foreign competition. In the case of jobs that cannot be outsourced, like agricultural jobs (you can't harvest American crops without being in America), illegal immigrants have been doing that work for a very, very long time -- way before the manufacturing jobs started disappearing for white people.

How would you make it primary? It would take a lot more resources to have services in multiple languages and resource are the big issue in first place.

From the article you linked:

That should be achievable by adding another screen on top of the one on this machine, hinged at the top. In closed position the thing could work as a tablet, in open position the top screen would flip 180° to form the top part of a large 4:3 screen.

The main body could be set on rails, to slide forwards from under the keyboard when the thing is used as a laptop (more or less the inverse of what slider phones did, here the keyboard stays in place while the body slides away from under it). Add a touchpad to the main body and you'd have a relatively normal laptop configuration.

No, I usually wait about 5 minutes for an Uber and the ride itself is never longer than 20. I'm saying it's a lot faster.
Most people know this, and setup their finances appropriately.

Many people who have a Bitcoin position seem to be ignorant to the fact that they aren't insured for even $250. (I've owned Bitcoin since 2011) I suppose they've taken for granted that for pretty much their entire life they've banked and never really thought about the possibility that tomorrow it'll all be gone and it's just SFYL.
The primary explanation for the success of Trump is that he is a competent representative of a section of the population, that is currently unrepresented in the party spectrum. "Competent" means he has an organisation, is seen as potentially electable, and accurately reflects the concerns of his own voters.

This is also the primary explanation for the rise of right-wing European nationalists, and the Brexit vote. Their success is a restructuring of the party landscape, to conform more closely with the attitudes and aspirations of the electorate. Two-party systems tend to exclude new parties, but if enough voters are dissatisfied, then sooner or later there will be a shift in the political spectrum.

Trump has clear policies, which certainly on immigration correspond to the positions of populist parties in Europe. He does not have a full policy platform, but that is not necessary for a populist party to be successful. It only needs to address the issues which anger its electorate. And that is the reality which needs to be considered: a section of the population is angry at the political class for ignoring their concerns and fears.

Simply disparaging Trump and his voters does not offer an alternative explanation for his success, or for comparable populist success in other countries.
Ah Reddit, straight to the armchair theories.
"Huehuehue" is the Brazillian equivalent of "hahaha".

But since "huehuehue" sounds like a really crazy laughter to English speakers, when English internet culture clashes with Brazillian internet culture, this "huehuehue" really stands out to English speakers and seems hilariously overused.

As a result, English speakers have started jokingly immitating it and it turned into a meme of sorts.

> The bios loads your kernel

Not even that! It loads the first 512-byte sector of your boot disk and jumps to it in 16-bit mode. Usually that bit of code loads in a few more sectors (using BIOS disk IO calls), enough to load a real bootloader's image (like GRUB), which subsequently understands your filesystem and loads the real kernel.

It's kind of a hack but I completely agree, much better to leave it in the hands of the systems developer -- firmware that tries to do too much often just gets in the way.

> IMHO, no informed person would ever pick proprietary, lock-in-heavy PAAS solutions.

This sounds like your personal bias and is clearly not true. Business doesn't work like this and you would be surprised if you looked at just how much proprietary software runs the world.

Lock-in isn't a thing to fear, it's a natural spectrum of using any service. The more specialized that service, the more work will be involved if you need to move away.

The real question is if the risk is worth it. Do you really need to switch? Are you worried that Google or AWS will somehow disappear before your business does? If not, what is the big deal?

What about MOVING?

Do you know what stops the very poor in such a rich country from simply moving to a better state or city with more jobs and resources? Is it fear? sadness? lack of confidence? lack of expense to move? too much attachment to the place they grew up in?

Studies have repeatedly shown that metropolises are the future. Big cities have the jobs, healthcare, education, networks to help everyone, especially the needy. Why aren't more needy people moving?
i hope stickers catch on here in america and dont just stay an east asian thing. i think they're a better form of expressing emotion than emoji. the "nice" thing about emojis is that they're standardized, but i don't think anyone realized how hackneyed and played out emojis would get. when i see tears-laughing-emoji these days, i roll my eyes, because i think of dumb instagram memes. in general, they're tiny icons that are kind of lacking in expressiveness to begin with. i've gotten really tired of them, and so have a lot of other people. you start to think they're dumb. stickers don't do that because they convey more complex emotional information.

i find with emojis that i always want new and more specific ones, and stickers cater to that perfectly. emojis are this wan, broad "happy" or "sad" emotional marker, which doesn't really convey all that much, while, as discussed in the article, stickers can convey really complex and pithy feelings related to the cultural environment people are living in. this makes them feel like a more honest and human method of communication through emotional pictograph, or whatever.
The problem is not 'bikes v cars'.

It's how the city was planned.

European cities have small, walkable centers, the mid-density around that, then instead of suburbs, they have a lot of higher density hamlets around them.

Also - they don't have horrific winters in which walking/biking is a pain.

So - even for Frankfurt, which has a bunch of US style high-rises in the middle ... you can comfortably walk many places, and bike almost all of them, any time of year.

Combine that with widespread and completely integrated public transit (without goons, slubs and idiots ruining them) - it works extremely well.

Most North American cities are designed for cars: long blocks, no walkable 'high streets', very wide streets, less density, less public transport ... and often a harsh winter which makes it really uncomfortable for 5-ish months a year.

It will take more than bike lanes to change the nature of culture.

Spoken like a true member of the privileged upper class (wether born or climbed into it -- the former are usually even more crass in such statements).
Theoretically, gold has more robust ties to reality, so it would have value elsewhere; this is in contrast to the Venezuelan currency, which I expect (though don't know for sure) is inflated like crazy. If that's true, then it could mean that some enterprising Colombians (or someone else nearby) might find it worth their while to smuggle food in for the gold or gold-backed currency, which should be exchangeable at a predictable and stable rate.

Having said that, it's an absurd notion. Maintaining a gold-backed currency in that shitshow, even if someone were so inclined, would be like carefully setting the tables for dinner on a sinking cruise ship: it's cool that you're enthusiastic about doing your job well, but there are some pretty important people screwing up in really important ways, and your efforts aren't going to get you anywhere.
Look up articles on pricing plans. $10 is really low and makes your product seem less valuable (if it's so good why are you almost giving it away?). Cheap and free customers are often not worth the headache. You probably want the entry-level plan to be at least $39, $49 or so. Maybe more. Offer a free trial, and let that be enough for the cheap customers.

I don't think there are 100s, let alone 1000s, of low-maint customers that are thinking "hmm, this abuse issue is really a problem on my site, consuming at least an hour a month of my time, but I can't afford $49 to fix it".

Think about it, you're asking for $25 for a million checks. Typically that'll be sign-ups or some sort of interaction. So their volume is probably what, 10-50x times that. Even if they used your API for checking before anon comments, that means they're getting millions of pageviews/visits per month. If such a site can't afford a, I dunno, $199 plan, maybe they aren't worth dealing with.

If you really think you need a charity-level plan, perhaps include a contact link for "open source and educational projects".

Someone will probably point out some wildly successful freemium model. Suppose that's possible too. But even then you'll want to make a large gap between free and premium. No one wants to deal with $10/month business customers.
Many startups may be worth "pretend" money, but many are worth real money. And even the ones that are worth "pretend" money create jobs, not just for engineers.

> And I wish our culture stopped glamorizing startups for being worth a lot of pretend money, and instead valued them on how much they did to advance us as an equitable society.

It is not the job of businesses to pursue social engineering goals like an equitable society. That is the job of government, and government needs money to do those things, which can come from taxing successful businesses.

People who suggest that businesses ought to pursue social goals don't fully understand what would happen if they got what they wished for -- a world where social goods and services are privatized -- provided by unaccountable private companies instead of elected governments.

For example, consider the state of public transit in Silicon Valley. There isn't much of it, and what there is sucks. So companies have started paying for their own bus routes, which are only open to their own employees. Taken together, those bus routes would comprise a very comprehensive public transit solution. But the general public can't use them. This is what happens when companies do the government's job.

Consider also the backlash against Bill Gates' education initiatives in Seattle: http://www.prwatch.org/news/2016/04/13085/charitable-plutocr...

Besides, if we rely on corporations for social progress, they could easily promote right-wing policies, which is the opposite of what you seem to want.

It's really much better when businesses stay out of politics entirely and maximize their wealth creation, and the government redistributes that wealth to the extent necessary to accomplish its social goals.

Yep, this. PagerDuty and Slack can help. Many alerting and monitoring services now work with these. Info / debug stuff goes to slack, urgent and important stuff goes to PD. Make a quadrant of how important and how time-sensitive each alert is to respond to and make them go to the respective mechanism. Email can stand in for Slack, but people tend to ignore emails and filter them if they start getting spammed with important-but-not-their-problem things, then they'll miss the important-and-their-problem alerts later because their filter matches those too.
