I'm not sure you can compare an existing factory in China with a non-existing factory in upstate New York. The two have very different environments to contend with. In China, they already have supply chains, investors, and customers. Whereas an non-existent or proposed factory has to set each of these up and still contend with competition with the existing factories. The only real advantage a factory that's local (like one in upstate New York) is they'll be closest to the demand for that region. So, they can attenuate their output when demand rises/lowers. But as a whole this is only a potential benefit in terms of the ecological impact (reduced over production for some products). And I say potential because some areas are better manufacturing certain products like it's cheaper to extract aluminium British Columbia where they have cheap power due to hydroelectric power than say S. America where you find the aluminium ore rich soils. Getting around infrastructure limitations won't be as easy as simply pouring more concrete. Some places just will never be able to compete and I think this is something some folks need to address in such articles.

Wealth is created in one of two ways - by nature or by people.

The fairest and most equitable way to distribute wealth is to share the natural wealth equally as possible and try and make sure that people are compensated as closely as possible for the wealth which they create (e.g. Walmart billionaires).

Our economic set up ensures that natural wealth is kept among the ultra wealthy (e.g. oil barons) and the ultra wealthy can parasitically extract wealth created by others.
I wonder why moxie's Convergence [0] didn't take off. To me it sounds near-perfect. It could handle multiple layers of authenticity, including DNS.

The project has been inactive on GitHub for 5 years [1], however the Namecoin project picked it up [2] as "FreeSpeechMe" and added support for IPv6, and .bit, .onion, .b32.i2p domains. Now this, too, has been discontinued "because Mozilla removed the relevant API's as of Firefox 33". They "intend to release a replacement soon". According to Jeremy Rand [3] "A replacement is in the works (and is mostly working already)", but the source doesn't seem to be public or I can't find it.

Are there any downsides of Convergence?

I'm curious as to why, when faced with unpredictable phenomenon, you chose to go with the hypothesis "everything is random" rather than "everything is choice" when you have an experience that appears to be choice, and would probably have a hard time naming a truly random phenomenon.
It's not that clear cut. Your options are more like:

1) Trust your brother, feed him and let him crash. Costs you $50.

2) Don't trust your brother. Hire an investigator to determine if he bought weed. Most of the time nothing is found so you wind up helping him, which now cost $70. Occaaionally you discover something and choose not to help. Still costs you $20.

Is #2 worth it? That depends on how often the investigator finds a reason not to help.

Legally, all you have to do is post a job offering on some dark corner of the internet for your job that pays a fair market wage. If you can't hire anyone for a specific period, you get to look for an H1-B!

The problem is that "fair market wage" is actually defined legally by congress. That wage for IT related jobs is barely enough to make a proper middle-class living in a metal trailer 2 hours outside of Las Vegas, much less San Francisco, New York City, or even Atlanta.

So you basically base your office in a city where the COL is high, require your employee to live in said city, and post job listings with a wage no US Citizen who lives in that city would take. If you get anyone actually desperate enough, you invent some magical reason they don't qualify. Not enough experience (10 years for a tech that's been out 2), didn't have experience with JMS (1 out of the 2,000 tech keywords on your listing and honestly if you can write a java application you can read a JMS queue, it's 10 minutes of google), or any of the other reasons you can invent to not hire someone. It's the exact same strategy deployed to not hire someone based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or ethnicity.

Then, you get your cheap H1-B worker who can't leave your company or even change their job title or they get deported.

Why is it purposefully difficult to read.

This is the mental effort that I have to go through.

1. Ok so not and unlike, let's say the cancel each other out. Not dissimilar can become similar.

2. un-stigmatizing, does this mean that it's just not stigmatizing or that it is removing a stigma?

This treats rights (legal) as though they were laws of nature. I have yet to see convincing data or argument supporting this notion.

There is ample evidence from history that the legal construct called "rights" is in fact not absolute at all. In fact, all the data we have suggest that "rights" are in fact provided by the government. The mechanisms differ (e.g. the US's constitutional republic encodes government-defined rights in the Constitution and laws derived from it), but ultimately "rights" are something that people, in the forming of the government they live under, agree should exist.

In my home, a single Powerwall battery could cover 90+ percent (or perhaps 95+ percent?) of nights even in an off-grid arrangement. Covering the rare extremes with a $150 generator would be more cost-efficient than using a larger battery, and likewise, covering the usual case with a battery would be more cost-efficient than running all nights inefficiently using our $5/USgal gasoline.
yeah, plug-in hybrids seem like the best of both worlds; that could still let you go all-electric for the ~90% of your commutes, but w/o the range anxiety or limits to your occasional longer trips. And the fact you end up occasionally driving it like a (hyper-efficient) gasoline car is a totally negligable quantity of emissions in your overall driving.

It's quite possible you can have an all-electric range-extender with over 1000 miles; there was some talk Tesla was looking into current-gen Aluminium-air batteries for that purpose; afaik Al-air is currently the most mature metal-air battery with some actual deployment in limited applications. Downside for conventional aluminium-air is they can't just be recharged once you use up the charge, but the Aluminium needs to be mechanically replaced after the charge has been used up.

Practicalities of that exact scheme sound dubious, but the concept is promising; early gen of some metal-air batteries, even if rechargable could be quite limited in the number of cycles it can last, so be a poor fit for being the main battery bank of an EV car. As a range extender though, this is much less limiting, so could find first use like that, in practice giving 1000 miles range for occasional long trips.

[1] Wikipedia says "pure hydrogen peroxide will explode if heated to boiling, will cause serious contact burns to the skin and can set materials alight on contact." Not to mention it's been widely used for bomb manufacture by terrorists, so today trying to obtain anything stronger than 1% H2O2 as a normal person gets you on a watchlist, or even a phone call from the FBI/local equivalent.
We stop when the marginal cost of additional oversight exceeds the marginal benefit of additional fraud prevented. I.e., we keep increasing oversight until diminishing returns causes $1 of additional fraud prevention spending to reduce fraud by $0.99.

I don't know where that point lives, but as NPRs expose demonstrates, that amount is certainly larger than zero and probably a lot larger than where we are now.

No, it doesn't. You're putting an awful lot of words in my mouth there.

Generally speaking, they'll be two types of recruiting companies like this are doing:

1) General filling headcount. X department has N open roles for developers who they need suitable people for. It doesn't really matter who the person is, as long as they're suitable (and they'll figure that out with screening calls and interviews). These are the types of roles that these shotgun form emails are sent out to.

2) Headhunting specific people (for specific roles). A company is after someone in particular who they already know about, or they're after a fairly specific type of person (for an IMPORTANT role) so they'll do a bit research on who they want to approach.

Of course I don't think anyone should feel honoured to receive a form email. I just don't think it's worth getting your knickers in a twist over it. They irritate me slightly, but I get over it. If I wrote a 1000 word article on every piece of recruiter spam[1] I receive I wouldn't have time to do actual work.

People exploit basic income to rob us when they consume it without needing it. Why do you think having zero oversight and giving benefits to everyone, including those who don't need it, is somehow better than the current system?

If you consider giving basic income to people who spend $500 on weed "robbing", well you are entitled to your opinion, but that's not exploit of system, because system is working as intended.

Yes, it's pretty clear that the goal is to create a vote bank of government dependents who exploit the rest of us.

Suppose the button is labeled "delete in thirty days". Then the dashboard could show data scheduled for deletion.

Hmm...even better might be allowing the user to establish their own deletion policy. And establishing policies for the SAAS company regarding recovery and recovery, if it is available, is another service that the SAAS company could charge money for...though I am probably assuming a B2B model.

Anyway, my primary recommendations are:

1. Be clear what the company is actually doing.

2. If the user has control of the data policy, then let them tune the policy.

Good luck.
> it doesn't really matter which specific copy of that book it is

Heathen! Sacrilege! That is absolutely not true -- books have (or rather suffer, in most cases) revisions, cuts, changes, translations... Even something as direct as Stephen King's work can change significantly from edition to edition. And of course, books suffer the ravages of elements as much as records, which can reduce the enjoyment of illustrations, typography, notes and so on.

Really, they are the same thing. The difference is that the experience of reading a book through digital media has only recently caught up with analog (and barely) thanks to eInk, whereas music was hit earlier by MP3s. Bookshops have just not adapted to the changing landscape as much as record shops.

I wasn't as involved with the third company's solution as I was with the first two I mentioned. The third company was a real estate software company. The problem was there was a down turn in the market that was rather unexpected (this wasn't the '08-'09 down turn, this was much much smaller than that). The company couldn't absorb the slowing of revenue as much as they wanted to be able to and ultimately they got into trouble. The company was completely bootstrapped, single owner, no investors, as it is to this day. Payday was set for a Friday. On Wednesday the owner knew there would be trouble. He told everyone that payroll wouldn't make it by Friday and to give him the weekend to find the money needed to pay everyone off. By Tuesday he would decide whether the company was still viable or needed to be shuttered.

This lead to a number of interesting situations. He did make payroll the next Monday (he literally sold everything he had, went to his elderly parents and begged them for some, and made it happen. Someone had to drive him into work on Monday because he sold his cars). A good percentage of the employees left that day and never returned. Some of us stayed, believing in the business, his honesty and integrity. I was just an engineer but we did turn it around and actually he had some great plans on how to never get into that situation again. He actually did very well after the 08'-09' market downturn and his business is still very profitable to this day.
Yes. The huge majority of pro-UBI writings I see talk up the benefits in great detail but either ignore, or misrepresent, the costs.

Lots of naive idealists support UBI - but I also frequently see UBI advocates who purport to be "evidence-based" and "rational", and yet who fail to provide even a back-of-the-envelope calculation of how they propose to fund their scheme. Instead they do 1 of 3 things:

1. Provide evidence countering non-essential arguments, e.g., will basic income recipients be motivated to work? This implies they've addressed the opposing side, while simultaneously ignoring the essential counter-argument, i.e., where the money comes from.

2. Hand-wave about reduced administration costs. (This is nowhere near sufficient to cover the huge increase in spending). Or automation (yeah, we have better deep learning algorithms, but machine vision, robotics and natural language processing are advancing glacially slowly, so most jobs will require a human in the loop for the foreseeable future).

3. Propose a low (subsidence-level) basic income, which represents a major cut in benefits to pensioners and the disabled. Since those two groups receive the bulk of current welfare spending, redirecting their benefits is the only means by which a UBI can be feasible.

With a small amount of research I found numerous counter-arguments to UBI, including a paper by the New Zealand government finding what I stated in point 3, i.e., UBI would imply benefit reductions to pensioners and the disabled and still require major tax hikes.

I see many people becoming full-time advocates and researchers into UBI, claiming it to be a rational, scientific, evidence-based policy. And yet they miss these basic issues. (It's no mystery why. After realising that current welfare systems don't work, and that a UBI can't work, the logical next step is to question wealth redistribution itself, but that's too far for most). The 20th century saw many intellectuals proposing "scientific" utopian schemes while blatantly ignoring reality, with well-known results.
