Oh come on, we've been over all of this a hundred times here on HN.

> Second, it's immoral. Taking money from one person and giving it to another by force is wrong, especially when your justification is that you think they have too much money.

Also known as taxation, or living in a society. If you don't like money being taken from you by force then fine, just please opt out of all the services and benefits the society provides for you. This is in fact entirely doable, and it's called "renunciation of citizenship".

RE the automation angle, you're ignoring the automation quality aspect. Humans can basically provide three types of labour - physical labour, cognitive labour and social labour. The first type is already almost completely eliminated by the first wave of automation, starting with industrial revolution. Current wave of automation is making inroads in the second one. Just how many people you think we can fit in jobs which value is mostly created by the fact they're done by a human (e.g. psychologist, waitress, nanny)?

Congratulations on equating being conservative with being wrong. (In saying conservative voting = downside)

I think I am fairly liberal, but in being objective I know I could very well be wrong.

Just to put the counter point. If conservative ideals are correct, then older people voting more would be a huge UPSIDE.

I agree that the older voting bloc causes a problem, but it's not because they are conservative, it's because they're retired and will continue to try to vote more benefits for themselves while removing benefits from others.

But to say it's a problem because they are conservative? You're just saying people that agree with you are right and people who disagree are wrong. It's closeminded.

It's not every day I'm happy to give out my email. very nice.
The US is large enough, and populous enough, and spread across so many climates, that different regions disagree dramatically on how they want to be run and what is important. Sometimes a state wants to do something unconstitutional, but in general state's rights allows people to decide things for their community, without having to answer to strangers they'll never meet, 3,000 miles away.

It is perhaps instructive to note that the US is the 4th largest country by landmass. Canada, 2nd largest, is also a federation. (The other two are Russia and China)
Providing customer service is what a retailer does. It's fine not to want to sell something, but writing rants in response (especially when you suggest your own products instead) isn't very nice. Retailers also take quite a big piece of the pie from smaller manufacturers.

(As far as I understand) Arduino LLC only has the trademark for Arduino in the US, meaning they can only sell and manufacture them in the US. It seems reasonable that Arduino LLC don't compete with their own US manufacturers by selling (under license) Chinese made Genuinos in the US.

People always say they want open source, support, locally manufactured products etc. but then they seem to take pretty much any excuse possible not to support it.

This is awesome. Soon, I'm going to devour all the stories. How do the companies get to know your site and share their story before you were on HN?
It's not something that's done by one person, alone.

But certainly I vote, I protest, I write letters, I convince others to. I work for an advocacy organization. I knock on doors and make calls. I believe it's not nearly enough to "just vote." And if that's all someone is doing, that person has little room to complain.

The taxation is immoral argument is an argument against democracy.
> No, its not.

Yes, it is. This is the crux of what most white Americans don't get about race in America. Anti-black racism originated from a thesis of racial inferiority. The anti-white "racism" the Breitbart article cites clearly doesn't have a founding thesis that "white people are inherently inferior". It's actually just a critique of the myriad ways white 'culture' perpetuates anti-black (and anti anything but straight white male) sentiments and beliefs. Certainly, I don't think pithy tweets are the best way to advance these critiques, but they're not being written for the benefit of cerebral tech bros like us, they're being written to offer some relief and solidarity for others whose lives are materially affected by white bullshit.

Product Market Fit Is Overrated – Look Where the Founder Fits In. [Venn Diagram]
Architecture is more art than science to some degree, there are structural engineers that deal with the finer points.
It also lends itself well to "manual labor" as a form of learning and trial and error.

Autodidact programmers/coders can do most of the low hanging fruits in computer science these days, they aren't that different than mechanics or handymen, every profession has a lot of wiggle room, you won't find a guy who thought himself how to fix cars as a primary engineer on a new jet engine usually unless that guy is simply a genious.
And you usually won't find self taught programmers working on things that require a lot of interdisciplinary knowledge primarily mathematics and physics, you would also rarely find them in the cutting edge of the field doing things like machine learning and AI.

And to do the low hanging fruits you really do not need much experience, or knowledge these days you need to have an average intelligence, some grasp on the "rules" of a programming language and the ability to use google - you don't need more than that to build a landing page or even considerably more "complex" things that aren't really that complex once you break them up especially considering the availability of information and full examples online.
Maybe those other products are there to make sure that search stays relevant?
Depending on what your trade is, you often need prototypes of things that do stuff. Before Arduino is usually cost thousands of dollars to make these (only counting the hardware cost). Arduino drove that price down to a fraction. It's easy to develop pretty much everything in very little time.

Here are couple rather uncommon examples:

- a greeting card with an integrated mobile baseband that calls a certain number once opened ("hey grandma!")
- a tea-timer that automatically pulls out the teabag after a set amount of time
- a UV-dosimeter that measures the actual amount of UV exposure and connects to your smartphone to track the data and warn of potential damage (with respect to your skin-type).
- the DIY-cellphone by David Mellis modified to display reading from arbitrary sensors

Your imagination is the limit. ;)
Seems like the principals of a municipal corporation could easily form a shadow corporation for the specific purpose of providing communications infrastructure within a specific municipality/county and any necessary backhaul, then issue one voting share to each resident, and non-voting, dividend-granting, preferred stock to the municipality.

Then the residents-of-the-city can vote for the city-as-municipal-corporation to grant that privately-owned, non-municipal corporation the sweetheart local monopoly deal that Time Warner was hoping to force upon them.

It isn't quite as disgusting as failing to provide biologically sterile and non-toxic drinking water to your utility customers, but quality network access is still important economically.
I think you're absolutely right that the "taxation is immoral" argument is one against democracy. But I still go with democracy, but with protection we ALREADY have in place to protect human rights.
They don't break it down, but I am guess profit margin for search is much higher than things like youtube since with youtube they need to send some money to copyright holders. I wonder how profitable it is? If it was super profitable they would be breaking it down. When AWS started doing well Amazon broke down how much AWS was making.
The article actually just states that layer 7 load balancers have access to the header information and typically allow you to route based on those headers. ALB, however, doesn't :(

Weird thing to highlight when the product being announced doesn't even have that feature.
> I credit the compiler as The Great Filter for autodidactism.

That's an interesting idea, I've noticed over 30 years of programming that in general the programmers who learned programming using compilers (particularly the more 'pedantic' ones) are generally more rigorous than the ones who learned with interpreted languages.

I've also noticed that (again a horrible generalisation) that the ones who learned with compilers are more likely to check return values and such even interpreted languages.

Personally, I've always preferred 'simple' languages that have insanely pedantic compilers over interpreted languages (which is somewhat amusing since I spend my life writing Python, PHP and Javascript) particularly ones with strong typing as most errors I make are simple assumptions that foo is TypeA and it ended up TypeB.
Yes, they take two terms with precise meanings (insolvent and negative equity) and muddle them up with being "broke". They also struggle with the unmeasurable. It's hard to measure the value of an education, or good health, so they don't.
> the nutty "taxation is immoral" argument.

I agree that argument is nutty! That's why I didn't make it. Where did I say, in fact you supposedly quote me, "taxation is immoral".

I said taking money from some and giving it to others by force is immoral for the reasons people like him give.

Taxation is moral so long as it is spent on programs that benefit everyone. The military, roads, a court system, the post office, police, etc.

Taxation is immoral when you take from someone you "feel" has to much money and give it to someone you think "deserves" it.

I know it's easy to make emotional arguments and I know it's easy to feel charitable with other people's money, I'm in no way rich btw, but you have to see the problem with that?

I shudder to think how many moderators it would take to administer Twitter.

You might think that the downvote mechanism here helps somewhat, and it does, but on any large community with voting such as Reddit the ability to downvote turns the community into an echo chamber where only the largest group gets a say and any dissenting voice is vanished. I dare say we see the same thing here on HN.

Your statement rests on the assumption that taking a week to make trades where there is a non-market-maker buyer is worse because the market "might" move down. The market "might" also move up (and if it's true that the market moves up over time, that's more likely). I don't think you've made a strong argument. What you're calling efficiency is actually expedience, because more work must be expended to achieve the same result, but the work happens in a shorter time-frame.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

I'm a little confused about the snippet you're pointing out. It's not actually using futures at all! In fact, that code is just part of setting up threads for the server. The reason it's more complicated than the version in Tokio is that minihttp supports multiple event loop threads (which gives some performance benefits), and this code is handling that setup.

At a broader level, Tokio's services -- the main thing users write -- are based on futures, in exactly the same way as minihttp. So for people writing actual servers, the ergonomics should be the same.

Now, stepping back, it's definitely true that ergonomics are a cost to be aware of, and it's one we've thought carefully about in the design of futures. We've had a lot of experience and success in Rust with iterators, which share a lot of the same API design philosophy.

That said, I do anticipate that over time we'll want to layer sugar on top of futures. As I mention a couple times in the blog post, async/await (or something like it) is the obvious way to do it, and there's plenty of prior art. But I think we should walk before we run -- let's make sure we've got the core abstraction right, and then we can sprinkle some sugar where it's needed.
It looks like the big missing piece is auto-scaling groups as target groups...
> the overwhelming majority of them are useless cranks.

Categorization of most autodidacts as useless cranks is a bit extreme. Perhaps you didn't read through to the last paragraph of the article:

"I still get the occasional joke from colleagues about my ‘crackpot consultant business’, but I’ve stopped thinking of our clients that way. They are driven by the same desire to understand nature and make a contribution to science as we are. They just weren’t lucky enough to get the required education early in life, and now they have a hard time figuring out where to even begin..."
Yes, Google's load balancer is the best one available today. The lack of native websockets support is probably the only disadvantage but made up for with the scaling abilities and cross-region support.

ALB pricing is strange too, classic AWS style complexity.
You don't need to be that "advanced" to cause real trouble to other countries around the world, and strong countries generally have more stake in the international and are less likely to rock the boat, which in turn favors other strong, status quo powers. From the US point of view, Putin isn't a friendly guy, but today's Russia is far better for the US than a weak, divided one full of Russian Orthodox extremist groups bent on exporting the traditionalist revolution across the world. Likewise, it's not like even the strongest possible Syria would pose a "real problem" for the likes of US, Russia, the EU or China.

I think (perhaps in a more charitable light) that there is a difference between tradesmen and professionals, and by definition, autodidacts aren't in the latter grouping. "Cranks" appear in both groups after all.
You wrote, "Taking money from one person and giving it to another by force is wrong." You had an "especially" in there, so you think it particularly applies here, but you still said that statement is true generally.

And UBI advocates generally say it benefits everyone. In fact, that's why they prefer it over other government programs! Because it goes to everyone! I get the policy disagreement on this, but that's still different than the "taxes are immoral" argument. And that's the one that bothers me when I hear it because it's an attack on democracy.

As to our founders - yes, they built protections in our Constitution. Is your point that UBI is Unconstitutional? Because that's a legal argument I'd be interested in reading!
