But shouldn't that already be happening now? The poor today are already making a whole lot more than they were 100 years ago. The problem is inflation kept up (or passed) their increased income. I think the same will happen with UBI. It's kind of like the new Monopoly money in the modern version of the game -- they added a bunch of 0's to the end of the bill's value, but it didn't change anything.

Nitpicking here, but I think even most modern satellites don't use IP for their downlinks.

I suspect something like X.25 is used instead for digital data, if not something even more bespoke... and many satellites still send analog data.

For example, this is the protocol used for NOAA weather satellites (and actually was developed in the 60s): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_picture_transmission
My brother was a physicist at Sandia. He said bluntly that mathematicians are not scientists. My point is not snark. It's that you may want to study physics from a physics/science POV rather than a mathematician's POV.

Also, I'd recommend Stewart over Thomas. I'd recommend Halliday Resnick and I'd recommend against Giordano.
Do all those companies even know that their logos are on there? LOL
Google's voice recognition works well when it's English plus one other language. If neither is English (eg. Japanese + Cantonese) it doesn't work at all. Neither does the triple combination of English + Japanese + Cantonese work, even if explicitly specified in settings.
I'd say try Airbnb and work your way from there by contacting the owner.
It's hard to argue with the convenience of free and immediate, that's for sure, but it's really hard to care that a person craves entertainment so strongly that they feel their unwillingness to pay for it is somehow a compelling argument to take it.
> Netflix and Prime are finally acceptable on Linux thanks to Pipelight but that solution's not for everyone.

What's weird is that Amazon Prime worked fine on Linux in 2010 without any trouble, and now it requires Pipelight.

And Hulu, too, used to work but no longer does.

Does it have to be either/or? You need both types of developers, and they have to talk to each other, and you have finite hiring resources. These are very different cultures, and the failure mode is either broken system software, which will get noticed and fixed, or broken security, which likely won't.

I'm paid to work on navigation software: http://www.project-osrm.org/

The answer to your question is: because it's hard to make some of these adjustments on-the-fly and still have reasonably fast queries.

On embedded devices, space and processing power are limited - so you need to perform optimizations to speed things up so it's usable. These optimizations usually limit the flexibility of features like you're requesting. That's a basic trade-off.

For server-side routing solutions, you need response time to be fast so you can scale - again, you need to optimize your data and you lose flexibility. Route calculations are CPU heavy, it gets very expensive to serve lots of users if your route calculations aren't fast.

There's a lot of algorithm research being done in this space - the last 5 years have seen some really smart new approaches. However these haven't been deployed commercially in very many places.

If you'd be happy with 10s of seconds to calculate a route on your phone (offline), then you can have all the flexibility you want :-) This is rarely desirable, so very few implementations are as flexible as you want.
They're not the only one, I recently bought a Nissan and I have to pay around the same amount for a new sd card which contains the update to be shipped which is a waste of time and money compared to just opening Google Maps every morning.
Physical space data mining and attention bidding is exactly what's happening to us if we don't stop it. I wondered how long it would be before someone said it out in the open. The only odd thing about the presentation is the assumption it's not already happening. I'm pretty sure these levers are already well in motion.

Get ready for hordes of robots mining fake attention for money, though. We'll continue to ship bits around the internet by robots for robots to validate marketing budgets.

This future phenomenon is probably the best argument for a private web, if not a decentralized one.
I'm not sure that's fair, Unicode's encodings are pretty straightforward, particularly compared to some other character sets. Most of the complexity comes above the encoding level.
That's an interesting thought. If automation and outsourcing keep happening, that should decrease the tax base as fewer people have work. That means less money to go to UBI. That sounds like a completely separate problem.

Eh, to the extent that they can be driver less or otherwise on demand, they complement public transit. I have been using the train a lot more after uber started to provide reliable taxi service. It gets me to the far away stop, and provides me a backup if I miss the train.

Uber is only really a car replacer for me because my ride is subsidized in a unsustainable way.

If self driving cars make taxis sustainable at uber pool with weekly discount rates, or even uber pool rates, that makes the sparse public transit we have way more practical

They were morons, but they were protesters. It's really unfortunate that one of them was killed. Their cause doesn't have all that much public support, though. I also doubt that they've exhausted other options - generally, you don't escalate from 'petitioning the government' to 'martyrdom through a suicide pact'. They missed the 'block some freeways, chain themselves to city hall, march on Washington' steps. They were living a libertarian fantasy, not aiming for real change.

Hockey riots aren't drunken looting - they aren't politically motivated, and they aren't for a political cause.

Not familiar with the Trump rally.

Ferguson is a pretty classic civil rights protest. A cause with large public support, but one that the government does not care to address - and judiciously uses violence to suppress.
The problem the article points out is that it is not 'what if they sue us on a patent claim regarding this piece of software' that is the problem.

The problem is that if you would bring _any_ patent claim against Facebook or any of its affiliates, the license terminates at that moment.

This is obviously not a problem for everyone, but a problem no less. Using software licenses to gain additional - and completely unrelated - rights is really not something I would like to see become a trend. It sounds like going back to the dark ages, feudalism and all.

Give the bullies free reign, and they will take your money and beat you up. In this case you would also have to take off your underpants and sew yourself a new pair before you can even try to fight back.
I think there's a moral difference between what you do with the product of your achievements for yourself and what you do to impact the opportunity of the next generation.

Which is essentially just a long way of saying that the moral weights on inequality and mobility/opportunity aren't the same.
One thing I have taken issue with a lot of these different CSS "component" implementations, is the lack of examples on how one would write a good testing suite for these. My first reaction looking at these is not "wow", but more "how can I test this?"

I would honestly be interested in hearing from some people here about how you would go about writing a proper test for these examples. And if the answer is "webdriver screenshotting", I might just shake my head a bit.
The point I'm making is that it's not necessary to hit a porn site in order to get the point across, and there are HN users whose organizations observe and don't care for that kind of thing.

It does mean someone bought in at a $800M valuation and now it's valued at $12M. The rate of return is apocalyptically bad.

Hell, setting fire to a giant pile of money would probably leave $12M in bills mostly untouched, or at least in a condition you could take to the bank.
Ah, so the fleeing middle class is to blame for protecting their own interests by choosing to peacefully leave the bad situation they were in?

It's not like the people fleeing the inner cities salted the earth when they left. They simply refused to put up with increasing crime and poverty. I'm not sure how one would rationally consider anyone to be a "victim" of that peaceful outmigration.
Yes, it's trivial to deduce Newton's law of universal gravitation from the divergence theorem. But to deduce that the divergence theorem applies, you need the lagrangian and the least action principle.

Conceptually the least action principle is the fundamental concept in classical mechanics, everything is derived from it, plus symmetry.

Historically this has all been done backwards. Once you have Newton's law of universal gravitation, it's trivial to prove that the gravitational flux must be constant for every enclosing surface. It's easy, in terms of mathematics required, to come up with a least action principle from that (albeit not as easy as the inverse deduction). However, if you think of Newton's laws as fundamental, it is not a very natural thing to do. Why would you do it? Lagrange was a very deep thinker to see why the least action principle is the truly fundamental thing. He was doing this way before Noether's theorem. He was doing this before the concept of energy was formalized! They knew that a quantity with what we now know as units of energy was conserved, and they knew momentum was conserved, but they didn't know what these things were, especially as no other form of energy except kinetic and potential energy was known back then. Truly a visionary thinker.

Why is Tesla one of the few car manufacturers who actually pushes real updates to their car's dashboard system (and for free, others charge absurd fees if they do give minor updates).

I hope that by 2020 it is the expectation that your car will continue to update and improve its interface over the years you own it.

I say this because people point to smartphones as always being more updated- and there's no reason for this.
No, that's not really related. Cross-site scripting's name comes from the vulnerabilities which allow an attacker to insert a <script> tag pointing at a script on another domain (or an inline script). It doesn't have to do with cookies and doesn't get around or really interact with the "block 3rd party cookies" setting.
Is there anyone interested in improving the UX of the stock nodejs in-terminal debugger but who just needs money to do so? Because the experience of "run this single test and pop into the debugger at line 14 to poke around" has several warts that I'm surprised haven't been fixed yet:

1) Having to call `cont` at the beginning rather than the debugger stopping at the actual place where the `debugger` line is placed.

2) Having to call `repl` in order to start printing things

3) After calling `repl`, not being able to get back to the mode where you can go to the next line and jump into functions.

4) If jumping into an express.js route, inspecting the request sometimes just results in the message "no frames".

> To contest your point of a 1:1 mapping, there are hentaigana which are older than the obsolete characters in both hiragana and katakana.

Technically yes, but they don't matter. The modern hiragana and katakana syllabaries have intentional symmetry. Anything written in one can be written in the other, and is (stylistic unorthodox choices of syllabary, old or limited computers where only one set is available, Japanese Braille which makes no such distinction, etc.)

> Additionally, depending on context, hiragana might not have a phonological reading.

This can also be true of katakana in some situations.

This is really fascinating. I get why the poll creators made these decisions, but the results of the weighting lead to a ridiculous result compared to other polls. Supposedly this poll was extremely accurate in 2012, so who knows?
As a counterpoint to the comments here bringing up the point that the maps on one's phone are always up to date, I'll bring up the point of offline access.

Yes, often the maps are bad, out of date, and require one to go the dealer and pay money to get an update. However, once out of the city, and cellular data ceases to be a thing, Google maps and similar applications built with an assumption of an always-available Internet connection become kind of useless. Yes, you can add maps for the areas you are planning to be to your offline areas, but that requires planning ahead. And if you ended up somewhere you didn't plan to be, well, good luck.

The UI for these in-car navigation systems is bad, but at least you have _a map_, instead of a featureless void with a blue You Are Here in the middle. Personally, I like a map book for such situations. Sure, it's ancient and obsolete technology, is quickly out of date, but the UI is quick an easy to learn, and it doesn't require power to use.
I think that if you have the patents to actually have a case against Facebook and decide to sue them, then it is totally reasonable for them to not give you stuff for free any longer.

Not sure how that is not fair, even more for large players who can objectively decide if it is worth it or not.

Bitbucket Server (formerly Stash) is a completely different codebase from Bitbucket Cloud. They share zero code. One is written in Java, the other in Python. It's a constant source of confusion. The naming is because of a terrible marketing decision. Atlassian marketing does all kinds of weird things, like advertising Bitbucket as only supporting git despite also supporting mercurial.
Believe it or not, there exists a Nash equilibrium for this. There are several papers discussing various approaches to optimally distributing traffic so everyone gets the best possible route given all the cars on the network:

http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2008646

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0191261504...

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1181966/

I have read a paper (which I can't find now) that claimed that cooperative optimization had visible effects on overall routing with as little as 7% of the traffic population participating in the cooperative routing scheme. So it doesn't even require that everyone use the same scheme to get some benefits, which is nice.
Well, the feeling of mental discomfort definitely is a physical phenomenon at the neuron level. However, because we have the ability to reflect on our feelings as we feel them, we have the ability to consider them as one signal out of many. The feeling of happiness or sadness or discomfort or fear is a single signal; others include situational awareness, memories, goals, etc (not describing a strict ontology here).

My impression of "transcendence" is the ability to consciously take these signals as input, rather than subconsciously by following feelings. The prerequisite to this is a deep understanding of oneself, the different signals one can perceive, and what real-world phenomena correspond to those signals (vs what the signals themselves say).

There's also a lot of anecdotal evidence that various psychedelics aid in this process, with one theory being that because they often delay or otherwise distort the link between your perception and reality, you have to think logically about how to compensate for the difference between your perception and what you consciously know to be reality. Throw the especially pensive nature induced by some variants of marijuana or LSD into the mix, and you've got a recipe for enlightenment.

By the way, if that sounds plausible, consider that the euphoria associated with consuming those substances may be an evolutionary adaptation. Seeing really is believing; humans have a hard time properly attributing weight to factors they can't directly perceive (even our own suffering isn't enough to motivate us if it's far enough in the future to be abstract to our current selves). As a result, most people don't acquire the ability to consciously perceive their input signals (and compensate for them) until the difference between perception and reality is made literally visible, e.g. by psychedelics.
> Racist

Why do you think they were motivated by racism? Safety and superior economic environments were far and away the most pressing factors that led the middle class to flee declining urban areas.

> deliberately trying to recreate segregation.

They weren't deliberately trying to create segregation; they were trying to protect themselves and their families, both physically and financially. De facto segregation may have been a consequence of that, but we have no reason to suspect that it was an explicit goal.
Why pay for something which requires no resources to acquire?

If I hire a programmer I get software from the programmer's time. The programmer's time is an expended resource.

If I buy a Coke I get a bottle full of liquid. There was a loss of resources to get it me.

Once that programmer has already written the software there is no cost to duplicate it infinitely. Same with movies.

Since it requires no resources why is there a distributor? A middleman has to work hard to provide his value. Netflix does with impeccable service and high reliability. In this case Google failed. Torrents use otherwise unused bandwidth (ie no resource) and are the baseline for value that these middlemen must compete with.
