>Just because it's been true in the past, it doesn't mean this trend will continue. Maybe it keeps being true for your run-of-the-mill MVP, but I don't see it being acceptable for a system in any industry w/ any chance of making serious money in the mid-term.

Again, you'd be surprised. Aside from advertising and consumer behavior analysis, there are not many industries that care or even have a need for such historical data.

The very idea that it must be necessarily valuable to store historical data about "all the things" (apart maybe from some aggregations you can create and store), seems more associated with the recent "big data" fad.

(I've seen 10-12 such trends rise and fall in the industry. In 10 years, I guarantee you it will have fallen off as a keyword, and only used as a technology where really appropriate).

> consumers are totally divorced from prices.

It is really bad.

I was charged $1,950 for an ambulance ride. Until the ambulance company learned that I had insurance. Then the price dropped to $790 even though the ride wasn't covered by my benefits. I was charged 61% less because I had insurance. I can't imagine how anyone who is uninsured can financially survive even relatively minor injuries or illnesses. They have the least ability to pay, and get charged the most. It's so upside down, it pisses me off. And that's hard to do.

A large part of the problem is that insurance companies negotiate prices with care providers, and every insurance company can therefore get a different set of prices at the same facility. So even if we collectively reported what we paid to an open database, you couldn't be assured of getting the same price as me on the same procedure if we had different insurance companies.
Gross's fund at PIMCO had terrible years in 2011 and 2013 and his new fund at Janus is underperforming the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, so he needs both a scapegoat and a class of marks who will still buy in despite the performance. The Fed provides a convenient target to blame bad performance on, especially for Gross given his 2013 misread of Fed unwinding. As far as potential investors go, much of the country club set are sympathetic to the broader narrative of the capitalist hero (the guy literally refers to himself as 'Secretariat' and Justin Bieber of the bond market) beset by meddling bureaucrats and there's a smaller but much more enthusiastic group of devoted monetary cranks who really eat this stuff up.
>>If you _accept_ a remote job where the renumeration is disclosed but below your local minimum wage - I wonder if any law has been broken, and if so, by who?

Yes. That is a crime. The employee has committed a crime by negotiation/accepting the wage. The employer has too. Regardless of where they think they "work" they are employing someone standing in the other jurisdiction. If one allows offshore companies to bypass wage laws then every single local company would be run through an offshore shell, negating the local law. So it is near-universal that offshores must comply with local wage laws.

In practical terms, a flesh-and-blood 'employee' isn't going to be prosecuted. That side of things is reserved for sub-contracting entities that aren't real people. Negotiating a sub-minimum wage contract remains a crime for subcontractors. This is necessary to prevent one-person "companies" negotiating illegal pay for their one employee under the fiction that they are an arms-length subcontractor when everyone knows the person is effectively an employee.

> The Internet was supposed to make it less important where you lived. What went wrong?

The assumption was wrong. The world has organized around cities for millennia, and we're supposed to believe that a few advances in communication would change that? Since when has communication ever been so important? Until you can start teleporting physical goods and people stop caring about social needs, you won't see any change in urbanization. In fact, as resource scarcity increases, you'll likely see increases in urbanization.
If someone made an argument that supports our right to strong encryption and doesn't also apply to gun rights I'd be impressed.

Google Brillo and Weave are essentially providing the same functions for Google's evosystem for IoT which connects to Google Cloud Platform. How does Flogo compare with Brillo + Weave?
Of course, the meter was originally based on the shape of the earth as well - the distance from the pole to the equator was defined as 10 Mm in 1793.

As far as the US unit tragedy goes, I think it's important to remember that SI units are full of compromises in exactly the same way that US units are, because they need to accommodate practical, human scale concerns. For example, degrees Celsius is a ridiculous concept from a scientific point of view (ask any beginning chemistry student who just messed up their test because they forgot to convert to Celsius to Kelvin before applying PV=nRT). If you believe the point of a unit system is to be useful for science, it's hard to defend a unit where 0 doesn't actually mean 0, since it introduces all sorts of confusion in the same way as traditional units do.

And why does the whole world still measure days with 24 hours in them, each with 60 minutes, each with 60 seconds? Because decimal time (although France tried to impose it during the transition to SI units) is just too darn inconvenient for humans to use. The failure of decimal time shows why humans prefer non-decimal units: because the resulting units are human-scale. Converting from seconds to hours or days is not as easy as multiplying by 1000, but kiloseconds is an inconvenient unit - too short for an hour, while 100 kiloseconds is significantly longer than a day. Somehow the metric world manages these conversions just fine (in the same way the US manages conversions between inches, feet and yards).

The traditional units evolved over hundreds of years, and I'm glad the US keeps them around - like nautical miles, they are quite useful.
Nexus 5:

- First released: October 31, 2013

- Last feature update: Marshmallow: October 5, 2015

- Last security update:

According to Google[1]: Nexus devices get security patches for at least 3 years from when the device first became available, or at least 18 months from when the Google Store last sold the device, whichever is longer.

So, worst case scenario: October 2016 is the last security patch. We might get more, depending on when the Google Store last sold the Nexus 5, but I don't know when that was.

>Responding with an ad hominem - whether at the author of the quote or the poster of it by association - is both an ineffective response (the appeal to emotion signals an inability to argue rationally) and lowers the quality of discussion (by taking it away from the point, into emotional territory).

Thankfully, that was not an ad hominem. It was a quote against a particular BOOK.

>Constant appeals to emotion and resorting to a wide array of fallacies allows for strongmen to build tribes which follow them blindly

So, kind of like Ayn Rand, which had a known history of blind following entourage?
My mother was a Chinese literature major in college (in China), and I've asked her point-blank whether she could read and write in 文言文 (literary Classical Chinese), and she said only with a language reference and great difficulty.

My grandmother could read and write it fluently, but that's because in her day a good amount of correspondence was still written in Classical Chinese.

> Of course reading classic Chinese requires extensive training, that's what their middle and high school educations are for

I highly doubt your claim that your average Chinese HS graduate can read or write ancient or Classical Chinese, given that there's not much incentive to acquire that skill. I doubt even 5% of Chinese college graduates can do it.

We still teach Latin in the US, but hardly anyone graduates high school with the actual ability to read and write in Latin. I spent 6 years between middle and high school learning French, but I certainly wasn't proficient enough to even read a newspaper, even though I studied hard and got good grades in it.

I just asked my wife, who was in China until high school, and she says she doesn't know a single person who can read Classical Chinese, despite having many college-educated friends in China.
>The first quote laid out a case using a narrative as a metaphor. It explicitly states its position, and as such is an appropriate use of a quote.

Tell us more about the appropriate uses of quotes.

Apparently when a quote doesn't explicitly state its position, but it makes it implicitly very clear, it's not appropriate?
At the risk oft stating the obvious:

The devs agreed voluntarily to accept this salary for a number of years. It is not ours to judge whether this it was too small, because for them it was not (until now)

Likewise, if you insist on "this salary is too small for them", you're saying that you know better what's good for them than they themselves. I would find that offensive.
This is not strictly an issue of bargaining out pricing contracts. Hospitals are not held to account by consumers to provide transparent pricing, so they don't.

The same hospital that will tell you "we don't know how much this operation will cost; it depends on too many variables" takes a lump-sum payment from Medicare (via DRG) for the same procedure - which ought to tell you they know damn well what, on average, that procedure is going to consist of. If they can tell you what codes it will generally include, that can be translated into cost.

They're not even trying to deceive you. The parts of the hospital that deal with you, vs. building around DRGs, are entirely divorced. Your physician literally doesn't know what the procedure will cost you. His office manager literally doesn't know. The billing department doesn't know. And the people who do know? They don't talk to physicians and patients.

I've worked /in/ clinical business ops. in an academic medical center and couldn't get my hands on that information (too politically sensitive).

It's very likely, from what we have observed over the past sixty to seventy years, that the Executive Branch does not operate this way in practice. The actual bureaucratic system has probably morphed to allow for deniability and other measures that offer structural protection against political or legal attacks.

Due to the way Linux people handle security fixes, a lot of the time the code fix goes in at first, then people decide it's an exploitable vulnerability, and then they have an embargo period without public discussion so everyone[1] can release a security patch at the same time. So hopefully Ubuntu has a kernel update ready to be released and they will send it out just about now.

Unfortunately in this case Ubuntu's CVE tracker just shows "needs-triage" or "does not exist" for CVE-2016-7117.

The important thing to consider is that VR is a new medium. Google's new VR offering ties in with the most recent communication tool we've had: the smartphone. Using the Pixel to onboard users into VR is a very smart move. It makes the technology accessible in a non-threatening way. Will it succeed? I don't know. It will, however, bring VR closer to being mainstream. We don't know how VR and smartphones being combined will play out in the long run. Not combining to find out would be foolish.
I agree with the gist of this article. Choose the right tools for the job.

But as with anything, judgmental snark also goes both ways. The Javascript ecosystem is more of a mess than other, similarly popular, language ecosystems. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that. Although you're right, a little less snark wouldn't hurt.
Don't you have that backwards? Low interest rates are good for debtors - they pay less interest. Negative interest means you're being paid for borrowing.

Yes, it's a frightening precedent. What Facebook's doing is essentially just as bad. Common carriers of communications (Facebook chat, Yahoo mail, etc.) should not be scanning mail. I think I'd grant an exception for the child pornography searching that most providers already do, since it's just comparing image hashes against a specific blacklist of hash and can never reveal private information about non-applicable images or communications.
I can't speak to Amplifi as I've just heard about it a few moments ago, but I second the UniFi AC Pros. Long story short, the 2.4ghz spectrum where I live is saturated, and the 5ghz spectrum is wide open. 2 APs, a Cloud Key, and a PoE switch later and I have full 5ghz coverage on both floors. I can bury the capacity with file transfers, BitTorrent, Netflix, etc and it doesn't skip a beat.

The bad news is if you're used to the cost of consumer gear, this ain't it. When it was all said and done it set me back $400. Throw in the cost of a pfSense router (because my old workhorse died recently) and we're at about $600. So, much like everything else, getting to that first 90% is cheap. That last 10%, not so much.
Your whole post starts from an assumption on what the parent meant (that he assumed you support Ayn Rand and that he suggested Heinlein specifically to address that) and then proceeds with irrelevant references to various fallacies.

First, obviously one can suggest a book that they think "demolishes" Ayn Rand's (or any other author's) views, regardless of whether they think that the person they suggest it to supports Rand or not.

But let's get into the implication and see, if it was true, whether it could be justified.

So, you protest on the implication you think the parent makes that "by attacking the use of a quote to ridicule those who have read Ayn Rand and attempt to present her ideas, I am myself promoting Ayn Rand's ideas".

And you name various fallacies to show why this is not necessarily true.

Well, it might not be a logical conclusion in the formal logic sense, but it's a very probable conclusion given all we know about human behavior, how conversations go, etc -- not to mention your writing style.

In life, as opposed to pure math, we often need, and do, judgement calls based on incomplete data, calls that don't actually follow with 100% logical certainty, but are nevertheless quite clear from the general context. Sure, we might be wrong in some cases. That's still a net positive, if we are correct in most cases. 100% correctness is for the inhabitants of Vulcan.

I don't know what the parent consider you -- he might consider you a fellow anti-Rand person for all I know, and suggested the book because you'd appreciate it being such.

But to my eyes you totally look like a pro-Rand person -- not just because you jumped to criticize the quote (yes, it appealed to emotion -- but people tend to ignore that when it concerns emotions and quotes they are in favor of), but also because of the overall tone of the responses and the fallacitis ("oh, I discovered this blunt tool on the internet, let's hammer every conversation into a inquiry for objective truth").
Most prominent cultures think that their contemporaries are lagging behind them.
