Yes but this is missing the point: people successfully pulling it out actually mean what they say. They are emotionally connected to this reaction, and this is why it works most of the time for them. When Buffet wrote that, he probably felt it. When the Queen said that speech, she probably expressed something that really was on her mind for a long time.

Just like the best pickup artist I met were honest and direct people loving woman, sex and themself. They were artists because they practiced of course, but they practice because they genuinely liked it.

The palor tricks are just what you get when you try to emulate it. And it works if you are very good at faking it or if people are oblivious.

But even if it works, it is very taxing. Faking well something that has a deep emotional root means a big mind dissonance, and people doing that regularly usually become miserable on the long run.

Haha, I have a "Mad Men" style Samsonite briefcase that my father gave me in the 1970s. Here's a picture of one:

It works great as a case for my laptop. It's fun being unhip :-)

Edit: I've used modern soft laptop bags, but they tend to develop tears and small holes through which things fall out unnoticed. Urgh. The Samsonite doesn't have that failure mode.
> It's not about inflation, since inflation is actually good for you if you're in debt

Like with many things, the devil is in the details. I'd say a 1 to 5% inflation rate is preferable, a 5 to 10% inflation is livable rate, 10 to 20% is starting to get tense, more than 20% and then everything is suddenly more expensive and you risk don't having money to get you through the month. Yes, some of your nominal debt might go down, but, then again, you still probably have to buy gas every couple of days (which is most probably imported, so its price has gone up), with more expensive gas comes more expensive merchandise (things like food, clothes and the like) because carrying stuff around consumes gas, your heating and electricity bills will also probably double of triple in value in a matter of a couple of years, and so on and so forth (not to say that you can forget about more-than-basic stuff like having a vacation abroad).

> Look up 2017 numbers. You are looking at $12,000 - $24,000 per year in premiums alone and then massive deductibles and coinsurance of 30% to actually access services.

This is a little high, and depends on your income. More likely it's 6-8k in premiums for a plan with a ~1,500 deductible, no co-insurance.

It's still way too high, but it's not that insane.

Note: that deductible is yearly and applies to literally everything, even a $150 doctor's appointment.

You can install gzdoom and freedoom off the AUR and run several mods and third party wads with it (most aren't compatible with freedoom, but some are), in like three commands, and it adds the file association for wads to gzdoom so if you open any wad in a file manager it runs in gzdoom.

That setup works out of the box without any copy / paste of files anywhere.
Maybe because there are other factors than just the one that the US gets very wrong?
Conversely, I have stopped wearing other watches because I believe my rather rudimentary smartwatch has made them obsolete.

The device in question is a Fitbit fitness tracker. The killer feature regarding the battery is the ratio of life to charging time, viz that I can wear it all day and all night (gaining sleep tracking and, best of all, a silent vibrating alarm) and keep the battery topped up in the duration of a daily shower. Not 24/7, but 23.6/7 easily.

Some bugs (cars not always breaking when another is standing still ahead; cars crashing at the beginning if you hit launch too quickly), but overall a fun toy to play with. I would like to know what realistic values are though: I know that 200ms reaction time is a good case, but what are actual average cases? It should be set to that by default. Or acceleration speed, is 5km/h realistic? 10? When set to 5, I cannot simulate a normal highway (they'll never go over 100) because the track is fairly short.

> If an engineer had shown this piece of work to Steve, do you think they'd still work at Apple?

Yes. And it would not have been an engineer, it would have been the industrial designer. The whole point of the design is beautiful seamless surfaces and curves. That's why the charging port is underneath. Which is exactly where the battery door was, BTW.

Steve Jobs is the guy who added a useless pointless screw (it literally connected to nothing) to one side of the iBook to match a (necessary) screw on the other side.

Steve Jobs is the guy who told people complaining about the iPhone 4 "don't hold it that way."

Steve Jobs is also dead, which is convenient for all the folks who like to invoke His Presence to support their personal opinions.

Incidentally, from an engineering perspective, Li battery devices are not supposed to be plugged in all the time. This design very neatly prevents that from happening.
I think it's pretty clear that there is some group that is getting value out of smartwatches. The 1st-gen Apple Watch sold 10-20M units, which is more than all Apple 2 PCs combined. And many of those users are quite satisfied (I am).

The tricky part is that they face a crossing-the-chasm problem now. The initial group of users is happy - but does that generalize to all users? Is it worth continuing to invest money into what's currently a niche market? Tivos, Blackberries, WebTV, 1st-gen PCs all found success in an early adopter market that was roughly as large as the smartwatch market is now, but it took a major re-envisioning of the concept before they became a mainstream product that all customers wanted.
While this is a cool technical solution the problem is not technical, it's political. Even if it existed, utilizing this function could result in legal reprocussions.

I haven't worked with this agency specifically, but it depends on a variety of factors - e.g. # of animations, actors/actresses, reshoots, reviews, etc. and how in-demand the agency is. It can usually run you low to mid six figures.
It's relatively efficient compared to alternative currently available approaches. We have not reached a point where Khan Academy and Udemy can replace everything - or even a major part - of education after basic literacy and numeracy.

The model of turning a literate child loose in a library and letting them be for six or eight years should not be assumed as universally useful.
The reason it was lower is because your pre-existing condition simply wouldn't be covered, and just about any other claim would be initially denied, citing the pre-existing condition as a reason. Now that's not an option.
This is super passive aggressive, like a child saying "I'm leaving, you will miss me guys, you'll be sorry, you'll see I was right and I'll be the one laughting !".

Besides, this assumes people rejecting your idea are bad, while they are just being humans. Humans are weak unefficient creatures, it's no use to take offense in it, we all are weaks in some areas.
Gotcha.

Offhand I don't know of any forums or mailing lists that focus on these types topics. One place to look for references might be at the development of chat room or forum software, looking at features that have been released/tweaked/removed over the course of their development; discussions on HN about features (how meta is that?); papers/research on social behavior and community building, peace studies, other social interaction. There's bound to be some graduate-level work on online communities, moderation, echo chambers, that might be useful as well.

That's not really the Sieve of Eratosthenes. The list data structure is not well suited for the algorithm. See [1] for a proper discussion. As someone who wants to write Haskell(and loves it) for code with mathematically well defined guarantees, the propagation of such examples, where the guarantees or behavior is not clear to the author, is not helpful.

Really? Because basic literacy, civics, history, and mathemathics as commonly taught work roughly as well as they are expected to.

This is all so ridiculous. As if something like this can actually be measured and all of the "contestants" are even known.
And what's the alternative? Allow them to go without insurance? Ok, but what happens when they do get sick or injured? Who pays for it then?
Didn't the Apple Watch launch a quarter later this year compared to its initial launch?
"Musk has said there will be no screening of the Mars colonists, and that anyone could go."

I suspect that will go out the door as soon as a major funding partner demands otherwise, to mitigate potential risk to their investment.

Eventually, sure, the screening will likely become less and less invasive; but at that point we'll have hundreds of people on Mars and the launch/voyage will be routine.

I wouldn't take Musk's word as gospel here.
> 1. What percent of the population will just take their guaranteed income and do drugs/play video games/party all day, instead of being ambitious?

To a great extent, that doesn't matter. Many people will choose to do that, but that is ok. Three things will happen:

1. Wages will rise until they are attracted into jobs.

2. Rents required to live a basic life will go up to partially (but not completely) offset the effect of the basic income

3. These people who are just living off the UBI will still be generating demand. Which, in a society characterized by extreme supply efficiency, is the side of the equation that needs to be stimulated. Their economic contribution will be spending their UBI on things they want.

> 2. What will be the cultural effects of a large segment of the population living a life devoid of duty and consequences?

We already have people who largely do this. We won't be creating something new, we'll just be expanding it a bit, and raising their quality of life.

This may end up having a negative effect, but I kind of doubt it personally. But this can only really be answered via experimentation.

> 3. Will we allow these overgrown children to vote? And what would they possibly vote for except a bigger basic income and more freebies? And if you did restrict the franchise, then what incentive will the franchised class have to rule for the benefit of the disenfranchised?

That's an interesting question. I'd say yes, but keep in mind that everyone will receive the basic income, whether they're working or not.

As of right now, people on welfare are allowed to vote, and for the most part that seems to be working out ok (some may disagree here, though).

> 4. Won't this new underclass reproduce much more rapidly than the productive class? Again, what are the social consequences of this?

I'd say no. It seems to be the case that when people become wealthier they reproduce less. It's unclear why that is exactly, but it just seems to happen that way.

> 5. How do you reconcile a basic income with open immigration, which we seem to be moving towards? A basic income in the US would probably be greater than the yearly income of most working people in the world.

Maybe a policy like you have to work for X years before receiving it? That'd actually be an interesting replacement for immigrations policy. Open borders, but you don't get social services until you've been here employed productively for say, 5 years.
What about prioritizing vehicles? Imagine - if all cars drive along in a well-defined path, will we end up with making assassinations easier? That's a stretch (I mean, not like exceptions couldn't be made for POTUS and such), but I wonder about what sort of consequences would arise from having predictable traffic.

Still seems like everyone is making attempts to understand genetics from a bottom-up approach. It doesn't make much sense to me to do so since there's no framework to talk about what's being produced by the DNA (i.e. protein functions)

It's similar to giving someone a random series of numbers and asking them to continue it. The solution would be to try to understand the RNG instead of blindly pattern matching.

We've tried "topic" rooms many times but most conversation still goes back to "general interface" rooms between teams, which requires all of the scrolling up. It seems to be the "persistency" of rooms that grabs you - after a while those old rooms become dead and you start to assume no "up to date" information is in them.

Its much closer to a forum post than a chat - it kinda brings up an idea of a "modern" forum for ideas - vBulletin style forums are so ubiquitous and "old" feeling it would put people off, but with modern extensive UIs it could be a great experience.
Most people agree with this. What becomes more difficult is figuring out what concrete steps make the educational system more efficient.

OTOH, even that would still probably disproportionately benefit those with the best home environments and support to make use of the more efficient system, and increase rather than narrow the gap between the best and worst served. Efficiency and equality are largely orthogonal concerns.
Can you say that they "desire" it then? How about saying that they "believe it would make them happier"?

If your fitness goal is to lift heavy weights, then sure, these may be the only exercises you need. But if your fitness goal is to freeclimb a sheer rockface, or dunk a basketball, or run a 7-minute mile, or be a great skier, then they probably aren't enough, and may actually be detrimental to those other goals if you overdo them. People go to the gym for a variety of reasons, and pure strength is only one of them.
> What makes an attack like this so effective is that you never expect to see something as convincing as this

I've been working on phishing and counter-phishing recently, and if someone is actually putting any effort in, you have to expect something like this. Very legitimate looking email, the correct signature (complete with up to date font/logo), and a virtually perfect copy of the login page to whatever service they're using. All of this, even just to target a single person, is under 8 hours of work, which is to say, it's a simple task for someone who really wants to phish you.

The article mentions having an IDS and disaster recovery plans, and this is the best you can hope for as pretty much everyone is susceptible to this, and AI still can be beaten.

Agree. Truly bad software is going to be bad for the business. Software that grows more complex is rendered that much less adaptable to changing requirements, requiring more resources for its adaption. I accept that some employers and managers do not understand that reality, that maintenance can benefit adaptability and upfront work can create a better starting point that ultimately benefits the business as a whole by enabling more efficient execution.

However, there is also the danger of having an engineer who is mired in trying to achieve some (often incoherent or misguided) state of perfection, guided by a religious commitment to an unspecified measure of "best", paralyzed by the sheer number of ways something could be improved in some conceivable way. He risks living in a bubble, disconnected from the larger goal and reality the software he is working on is a part of. This disconnect results in bad prioritization and little grasp of trade-offs. The idea of "long-term planning" is also problematic because, taken too far, can become an exercise in speculation and fortune-telling. As Woody Allen said, if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. You can aim in a general direction, but expect course correction. There is no "once-and-for-all".

Effective engineering requires prudence. Mature and seasoned engineers are better able to distinguish actual needs from possible needs or wants, make decisions and prioritize work based on the limited resources they have. There are programming techniques and approaches (if not wholesale methodologies) that are motivated by this wisdom and that enable an engineer to manage the evolution of his software.

Between the extremes, there is a range of reasonable opinion and approaches. To me, it sounds like the author is either working in an exceptionally bad company or suffers from OCD.

This is all true, of course. Only thing that might make some impact is the prevalence of electronic music devices that default to 120BPM, which of course gives you a downbeat every second. but 432 is not an interesting number for a computer, so that doesn't help. If music was made by robots, we'd have standardized on a middle C at 256Hz and 120BPM for everything.
That last line about raising the bar... and raise it did! Apple often doesn't invent the whole thing, but definitely puts a usable version on the market. I remember the space between CD players and iPods having those rather crappy MP3 players, mini-disc players (which were actually quite good, but still used cartridges) and the really big laptop-HDD music players, and none of them were actually nice to use, or at least, not any 'nicer' than a portable CD player.

This happened over and over again with the other stuff they made. It's not like there were no phones with touchscreens, or no tablets, or no smartwatches, TV media players etc. There always are/were/will be, but it's becoming something of a trend that Apple gets it's hands on one of those ideas and then puts a version on the market that actually works well for most people.
