This problem will likely get worse as automation and cloud services reduces the actual amount of work available.
Besides buzzwords, the other focus of the MBA is on "core competencies".

For example, A healthcare company should focus their resources primarily on the things they do well in healthcare. Outsource as much technology as you can because that's not your core business. As "software eats the world", I find this to be increasingly bad advice for companies as technology should become the core competency for everyone.
The article contained a strange word "eparated". It took me a few seconds to realize it meant "separated". I tried Googling the word to check how good its spelling correction was - but instead it came back with no correction and real results about automobiles. It seems to have parsed the word as "EPA rated", alluding to fuel efficiency.
> What does 'fully insured' mean here?... People go bankrupt because they skimp on insurance

Not necessarily. Even "large" policies will not protect your assets from the worst cases where damages run into the millions of dollars, e.g. where you kill a family or hospitalize someone for months.

You propose that everyone with coverage less than "sufficient to protect your assets" is guilty of being "under insured". But there is no amount of coverage you can pre-determine to protect your assets in all possible cases. Not unless you purchase a policy with no upper limit -- but those are rare in the auto insurance world.

Thus, even if you have a "large" policy that falls on the high end of typical coverage limits, truly catastrophic cases often result in personal bankruptcies. Bankruptcy courts cap the payouts. There are no such caps on auto manufacturers responsible for accidents... unless they go bankrupt too.
> From what I can tell, the core learning one takes from J/K/etc is the concept of an array language and treating arrays as first class objects. And nowadays Python/R/Julia provide this same functionality in a more verbose/more readable/more mainstream package.

That's just part of it. Other parts (by no means a complete list):

- Visual density puts the pattern matching engine in your brain to good use; e.g. the K idiom "|/0(0|+)+\" which implements maximum-subsequence-sum is a 10-character visually recognizable sequence recognizable to many K programmers, which is efficient and well specified; Similarly, ",//" flattens a list. I don't know of any other language family that has this feature.

- Arrays with equivalent indices work better than structures ("column major" captures some, but not all of it)

- A properly selected core set of concrete operations (in K's case, about 60 of them) makes the needed abstractions shallower and simpler than a properly selected set of abstraction constructs.

This should win them an Oscar for visual effects. Unlike what they did with Paul Walker in F&F7, Tarkin not only looked and spoke almost exactly like the 1977 Peter Cushing, the character had a substantial role in the movie. (note: surprised there's no credit to Cushing at all on IMDB)

This is truly groundbreaking, and I would expect a new era in movies where they bring back actors from the dead and/or sign actors to contracts to license their likeness beyond a single movie.
In particular is Google putting a lower emphasis on site authority as the article suggests?

> Part of the problem is that the US doesnt have a good plan for what to do with crazy people. We had a lot of problems with long-term institutions, but when we shut them down, we didn't actually start a new solution. We just left them on the streets.

Institutions were replaced with drugs. In 'Anatomy of an Epidemic' [1], Robert Whitaker says that before the drugs were available, many people were able to recover enough to get out of the institutions.

The book makes the case that commonly-used psychotropic drugs take an episodic illness and make it chronic.

This HN submission was from 2 days ago:
Psychiatrists Must Face Possibility That Medications Hurt More Than They Help (scientificamerican.com) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13186201

This has been my observation of the system... My friend was doing well until they got hold of her.
Amazing isn't it? It happened in 2008 and the progressive HN downvote brigade have already forgotten it.

"“global land grab” first took off in 2008, when food prices on international markets spiked due to a boom in biofuels and growing Asian consumption of meat and dairy, setting off riots around the world and leading key grain-producing countries to introduce export bans. "

The poor in Haiti had to eat dirt, it was on mainstream news but I guess the HN crowd doesn't think back that far. It actually sparked the African Land Grabs of 2007-2008 which a lot of "progressive minority lovers" don't even know about. I was on HN at the time talking about it and was purely ignored for my concern that black Africans were being kicked off their land. Yet, I've been called racist in my past few HN posts for not agreeing with far left policies on diversity enforcement.

Had they looked up the Oakland Institute they would have seen that land grabs the size of France of the most fertile land in African nations were sold on 99 year leases, tax free, by countries all over the world. Harvard actually was one of those behind the investments. Now the media covers it up by calling it "a myth or exaggeration" and ignoring the riots and numerous youtube videos of villagers fighting back.

sigh HN has become what Digg, Reddit, and Mashable are. Time to leave.
It's also Canadian propaganda, and German propaganda, and who knows how many other media sources publish similar information.

Personally, I find it very understandable when two countries or cultures have differing viewpoints about what's right or not. However, I think it's imperative for their integrity to accept rules and international courts if you sign up for it. Many countries have been culpable of such incidents, and they're always in the wrong for unilaterally breaking such agreements. This time, it's China doing so. Don't sign up for common rules if you don't intend on following them.

Sure there are propaganda and opinions everywhere, but the question of integrity and ethics is clear in this example.

Say you have $0 income. A new policy comes into force that gives you $500 a month basic income. Even if prices increased 10x you would still be better off than before. Prices would have to increase an infinite amount for you to be able to afford the same amount of goods as before (zero). Even if you had $500/month before, you'd still be better off as long as prices don't increase more than 2x.

I don't know enough to advocate for or against basic income, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't amount to a no-op. Whether it's done through printing money or taxation, it ends up redistributing wealth from wealthier people to poorer people.

In the case of printing money, the resulting inflation would cause everyone's money to be worth less: rich people, having more money, would end up losing more. In the case of taxation, the redistribution is more direct.

You are missing the point. It isn't about USA being able to shut GPS down for Europeans. They already can, and that's pretty natural, because it's their military system in the first place. It isn't about being able to shut Galileo down as well. It is about EU knowingly building the system (using their money) that can be used by anyone, but can be shut down without shutting down GPS (which is capable of limiting availability to USA military forces only, should they wish so), because one particular aggressive country threatened to use violence otherwise.

Your comment is the worst thing I've seen on HN in a while, and the users who upvoted it should re-read the site guidelines and send themselves to bed without supper. If you want to destroy this community completely, you couldn't pick a much better device.

It should be obvious that smearing another user like this is a bannable offense here, regardless of how wrong you think they are. It poisons the discourse while purporting to defend it, for obviously political reasons of its own. That's unacceptable, even in a thread as thoroughly degraded as this one. Please don't do anything like this on HN.

If you look, you'll notice that I scolded the other user as well for abusing HN for pure politics. That is a bannable offense too. Instead of both sides breaking HN's rules and going at each other, I have a suggestion: neither of you do it.

I am sorely tempted to ban you both to set an example, but on principle we try to warn people first—it's hard to ask users to give each other the benefit of the doubt if we don't do it ourselves. But I can't say steam isn't coming out of my ears right now.

Right now the small time business money is not on the table at all. Couple of reasons for that.

One is that it's expensive to buy. One cause of that is that you have to pay sales people. If you remove sales people layer, you would lessen the cost of the ads and allow these people to come to the table.

Second reason is that dealing with sales people is a hassle. Their incentives do not align with those of the buyer. Salespeople do not want to deal with small timers because commission is too small.

Looking at a single frame at a time, it's nearly perfect. I think the problem comes in how something about the lighting is just a little bit off compared to the rest of the scene and how that shows up when the face starts moving.

It's something that works better for Leia at the end because, aside from the shortness of that scene, the lighting is more indistinct and washed-out, so the little giveaways of light on skin aren't as obvious.
Consider supply and demand. Say there are 100 people and they all need 1 of resource Z and 100 of resource Z are available. People who have only the UBI can afford the lowest quality of Z but those who have UBI + income will all try to get a higher quality of Z. Net result is that earlier it wasn't possible for low income / no income people to get resource Z, now they can. The rich however will have to start paying a slight premium for finer things in life.
This only true if there is no competition and demand for the good is completely inelastic. What stops grocery stores from doubling the price of food? The other stores will make a killing by undercutting them. I think food is pretty safe here.

I am concerned about housing though. In some places, the supply is extremely inelastic, limiting competition, and the demand is also inelastic due to the difficulty of moving. Although UBI could make moving to a cheaper area easier.
How Unix made it to the top
You're making an awful lot of assumptions there.

It appears you're referring to when I said "(assuming a highly controlled, completely reproducible experiment actually can be set up in social/economic sciences)". I'm not making this assumption, I'm questioning if a meaningful experiment can actually be formulated and performed.

If a meaningful experiment can not be performed (and I'm not saying that it can), then examining and observing how people born into rich families operate would give better, or at least no worse, information than an uncontrolled, non-reproducible experiment would. And it might actually be cheaper to study those with money already rather than give people money just to be able to study them.

> the wumao playbook.

Is there a summary of "wumao" playbook? I think all these you mentioned are standard propaganda or public communication tricks.

> call everyone and everything into question

Sorry, I did not see evidences that the poster accused "everyone and everything". I doubt HN tolerates such behavior at all.

How about references the parent comment about the specific statements that reflect your statement?

> accuse the other commented of his own national bias and bubble (whilst refusing to accept yours)

I think you should emphasize the the part "whilst refusing to accept yours". This is definitely many so-called "wumao" have to do to do their jobs.

I surely see HN members have far less exhibition of this trait.

> throw your hands up and play the victim.

I did not see the poster "play the victim". Even the accusation on China is a lie, that does not victimize any members here. The whole idea of someone "play the victim" should be seen as a way of thinking that does not fit here.

Some comments can hurts someone's feeling, but it should be clear that we discuss topic, not accusing people. We back our statements with facts, and dispute others with facts too.

> I hope Americans don't get cynical enough to discredit that we have more rights and they are worth fighting for, because it could always get far worse.

That's a really good point--those of us in America are lucky to be here. Do you think people are fighting enough, though? Amy Goodman was nearly thrown in jail just for covering the Dakota Pipeline Protests--what punishment will be handed out in response to that egregious attempt at violating civil rights in America. Right now it looks like: none.

Another example: At least one Journalist has been physically detained, searched and had equipment seized for travelling to cover the Dakota Pipeline Protests.^1

What about the fact that the Iraqi government was desperately trying to prove they did not have chemical weapons or weapons of mass destruction, and the Bush administration hid this from the public?^2 Even though that is a proven, factually-substantiated conspiracy, and it is not technically censored, how many Americans would you guess are aware that happened? In my experience, most aren't.

What about whistle blower protections? Human rights abuses? Guantanamo? Police brutality? Legalized propaganda? Our actions in Syria? Government harassment of Greenwald, Poitras, and others for covering the Snowden leaks? The list goes on and on.

If we lost just a few of our best 'freedom fighters:' the ACLU, the EFF, and people like Amy Goodman and Glenn Greenwald, my best guess is that the world would start to turn into a different place. I'm not sure if we are fighting enough.

Most commercial planes (and certainly almost every civilian airliner?) have an inertial reference system that is backed up by GPS.

The inertial reference system is a physical unit that cannot be externally manipulated, but it has less accuracy. If the plane's flight management computer detects that the GPS significantly disagrees with the IRU, it will warn the pilots, and may automatically disable the GPS unit.

Planes can also obtain position data via 2 VOR radials, or a single VOR-DME radial, or such. There are many options.

To provide redundancy, there are usually 2 or 3 IRUs.

"Anyone upset with this could just cancel their prime membership and stop doing business with Amazon."

No, this is not quite reasonable.

Consumers do not realistically have this kind of power, especially vis-a-vis very large entities.

It would take a massive, massive informational campaign, massive awareness, coordination, coordination in the press etc..

For the same reason in the 19th century, before unions, people couldn't just 'not shop somewhere'.

Labour practices are best codified in law and policy.

I'm not a big fan of unions, where they are entrenched, they often have too much power ...

But where unions are 'possibly forming', it's usually for a very good reason.

Salaries for many working class jobs can't be left entirely up to the free market, otherwise they'd be earning next to zero.

It's really quite a paradox how benevolent Bezos and his ideological friends seem to be, all their charities blah blah blah and yet they treat many of their labour workers terribly. There are some real horror stories from the picking/packing plants.
The list would be dominated by American and Chinese companies even if each person on the planet had an equal chance of founding a huge company. The question is whether big countries like the US and China would be overrepresented per capita. And looking at that list, it's not at all clear. UK, Switzerland, Germany, and South Korea all have companies near the top.
