The majority [1] of patents are never commercially exploited or licensed - I wanted a way to browse recently expired patents to find hidden gems and get inspired by existing inventions. The site uses the recently released USPTO-API [2] to fetch newly expired patents each day.

NB: The reason the most recent patents displayed are from 12/31 is because no new patents were granted during the first few days of January 1997.

Some of their comments show a deplorable lack of vision:

> "Bill Gates would get 13K, which is crazy. Raising taxes is costly and so redistribution should be targeted to those who need help most."

People like Bill Gates without a doubt would have to be taxed more (amounting to much more than 13k) for this to work. The current system works by redistributing and targeting those who supposedly need help most. As of now, it works somewhat ok for the most part but it's tremendously wasteful and promotes wrong incentives. A basic income can reduce that waste and puts everyone on an equal footing.

> "Total health expenses and risk will remain high for individuals. It might also shift the norm whether to work. Work = being part of society"
> "Lots of conflicting incentives that can discourage work in the existing rules."

Because work is an end to itself? Opinions like these seem to be founded in Puritan ethics (work as penance in this life) rather than economic reasoning. If human work doesn't necessarily create value anymore what's the point in continuing to work by the current rules from an economic perspective?

> "What about e.g. national defense?"

Sure. Everything's up for discussion. Save for sacred national defence.

> "A minimum income makes sense, but not at the cost of eliminating Social Security and Meidcare."
> "This is a dumb question. We are not going to eliminate Social Security and Medicare etc."

Why is that exactly? Are we that stuck in ideology that as a society we can't seem to think beyond concepts that date back to the first Industrial Revolution anymore?
That would remove much of the point. One of the basic premises of the idea is that individuals are better at knowing how to maximise their utility than the government. Will some people just use the money for beer and video games? Sure. But some people might also use the money in a really creative, positive, way that you and I haven't thought of. I'm willing to accept the former in the hope of increasing the chance of the latter.
Move on to what though? Windows 10 is never up to date for me. Linux decides to reinvent the UI paradigm every couple of years or are still running X for maximum battery usage

I thought it was just me. I even emailed a commercial supplier and they replied (more or less) that its not a high priority.
but see the charity Bailli http://www.bailii.org/

They don't seem to have been targeted by uk lawyers. If anything they're a respected site.
I don't really disagree with you. I'm not a big fan of laptops at all, but they have become necessary in my life. I would prefer a desktop.

That said, I use a 2014 MBP and feel it's already as portable as I need. If the 2016 kept the same thickness but offered 32gb, I would have been happy.
All this because many users prefer the Extension Gallery or are unable to install extensions manually. The only way to move away from centralized services is for users to stop using them. Unfortunately, the typical Safari user doesn't seem to me as the tech-savvy person willing to learn how to do this.
Totally agree. Some of the fares are really cheap these days. For example a return flight from Manchester to Dublin booked two weeks in advance is £20. That's a journey that can only be done by flying for one hour or driving for two followed by a three hour ferry.

Or perhaps even better, a return from Manchester to Nürnberg for ~£30 in 2 hours instead of a 14 hour drive plus ferry. The fuel for that alone (not including the ferry) would cost £170.

I just don't understand the complaints!

Booking a few months in advance I can get a return trip to the otherside of the world (Australia) for under £700 and get there in less than 24 hours. I find that incredibly cheap and would be mindblowing just 20 years ago.

Apple seems to hate their own developers. This story, others, and my own experiences tell me that Apple makes everything more difficult than need be to put together a program, small or large, that actually runs on their platform.

Totally disagree. Publishing Safari extensions might be a rubbish experience, but publishing anything else is fine.
Raising taxes is the best way of financing UBI. Eliminating some transfer programs will help, but eliminating all of them (like Medicare) will cause significant pain and suffering.

Most sane UBI proposals have taxes going up just enough so that taxes on the middle class go up enough to offset the UBI; resulting in no net benefit or cost to the middle class.
The necessity for something like a universal basic income is pretty obvious to me. However I wonder, as it expands if politics will change in a very negative way.

Let's say distribution is an even division between the entire population. If the distribution is low, the obvious solution soon becomes "reduce population". The specifics of that can be pretty gnarly, even if it's a simple "attrition" policy. My imagination for what's possible goes to dark places.

I wonder "who" will make the policies, and I fear the power structures will change in very negative ways. I can see reactions to power structures changing to change to a blockchain type system ran by algorithms... but that has equally dystopian ramifications.

Though its defiantly a rosy picture, the old west I think appeals to a lot of people like me because old world capitalism allows for independence. As we scale society we're giving a way that independence for equality and comfort. The problem is there are always inherit problems in every system, and someone finds a way to exploit them.
I was randomly clicking and found this one:

The Legal events at the bottom says it expired in 2001. Seems strange?
That's exactly my threshold.

30 minutes to wake up/get ready, 1 hour to the airport, arrive 90 minutes early, 30 minutes to de-board, 30 minutes for luggage/rental car and I'm at 4 hours on top of flight time. Most of that time I'm bothered by what I'm being put through - whether it's a TSA line, one of several airline lines, poor customer service, overpriced ... everything, and the general unhealthy atmosphere I'd happily commit an additional 2 hours to the drive. I get to be in my own car and avoid all kinds of frustration in favor of zoning out on music I enjoy.
Yes, it is the most effective strategy in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma, which seems to most closely match social interactions. Better strategies were recently found, but they are highly convoluted and involve knowing your opponents strategy and manipulating it into doing what you want.
I occasionally use these two:

* What would we do if there was an order of magnitude less time to solve the problem?

* What would we do if there was an order of magnitude more time to solve the problem?

This can flush out 'we would just buy/use XYZ tool/library etc.' for the first, and reveals fundamental things that we are ignoring for the second.
How quick is the flight and ski in Alta? I don't remember that being the case at all when I lived in Denver especially if you went to a place like Loveland, A-Basin, Breckenridge or Copper. Vail was a bit farther and more possibilities for road issues though.
>"huge mess of transporting, storing, unpacking, preparing and disposing of food in all sorts of random ways at various times throughout the flight by the hundreds of hungry sleep deprived passengers."

That's generally handled by having a cart with a garbage bag attached that comes by, and having people opening their food on the small trays provided.

>"Airports would be even less efficient going through security, vendors trying to sell food to go and people congregating to buy things."

Yes. It is called a "post-security food court".

>"I would definitely pay more if even more things was standardized and included for everyone on the flight (like luggage, security, airport seating)."

That's nice for you. A lot of people don't want that, or aren't willing to pay.
Economics has failed, time and again, to make any accurate predictions, except in the most trivial of matters.

It has been called "the dismal science" for this characteristic.

I'm sure that people do know, but selfishness drives (pun not intended) people to do it. When there was a horrible freeze down here a few years back, traffic became gridlocked. Yes, the lack of traction caused issue, but the main problem was that everyone was hellbent on getting home without regard to how the flow of traffic normally works.

I witnessed gridlock happen. At a particularly odd, 6-way intersection, people started edging the cars into the intersections. The light would change, cross traffic would get pissed, and then they'd edge around the blocking traffic creating a snaked grid. As cars moved out the way in the cross, the other section would block more and more until the whole intersection was blocked. It was a beautiful tragedy of bucket crabs[0] stopping progress for all. That's when I pulled into a nearby lot, called a friend, and just crashed with them for the night.

There's no requirement that UBI be a funded fiscal policy. It can be an alternative distribution for the money created by monetary policy.
It depends on what standards they're using. However, drinks and water fountains are frequently available once you've gone through security anyways.
DejaNews was great. It may be the first and canonical example of a service being ruined after it was acquired.
> All four of the other browsers use effectively the same APIs — Safari is potentially going to change that in some ugly ways.

I understand a developer’s desire to have more reach with less work. But if all browsers have the same APIs, for the same feature set, with the same UI... then what is the point of having different browsers?

If Safari’s API changes lead to extensions that are better integrated with the underlying platform (and I don’t know if that is the case), I say all the power to them.
dashing is a pretty stable product. Its like a simple framework you can customise anything you need in it. We used it in our team to serve alarm metrics till it was deprecated in favour of Grafana.

Grafana is a push model, while Dashing is a pull model.

Grafana is pretty tough on RAM and svg usage. Try to use pngs and the UI is harder to adopt.
Your argument is mostly that people won't have an incentive to work, but one of the main arguments for UBI is the concept of the end of a need for low-skill jobs due to all the new machines taking them over. You should address this if you want to persuade the UBI proponents.

Unless your point is that people should have to work for work's sake to get that money, even if the work is useless.

> Moreover, there seem to be countless examples of behavior that we are perfectly capable of and whose effect is difficult if not impossible to explain with evolutionary arguments.

Even if we acknowledge that some of those examples can't be explained by evolution, evolution permits aberrations. It's in the very core of the model.
I think you underestimate the importance of culture in organisations, and particularly the fierce independence maintained by the 'news' side of the major American press from the 'money' side. They care a lot about editorial independence and I'm quite sure they would shout if it happened rather than lie about it.

The same strictures don't apply, for example, in the UK (my country) which has much more fluid boundaries between journalists and proprietors. Were I to read something similar about the Sun, for example, I would be pretty sceptical...
Is this pricing sustainable? I just can't see how there is enough demand to keep this afloat at $40/year?
Does youtube-dl get the ad-free videos for YouTube Red subscribers?
And because foreign airlines are generally prohibited from providing domestic service inside the US, which is the substantial majority of the overall market.
You don't make any specific criticisms of Nagel's work, so I can't say anything on that point, except that I didn't see any misunderstandings of evolution in the book.

>Putnam & Searle [don't] get computation

Putnam essentially invented the functionalist computationalist theory of mind that you are implicitly defending, so I'd say he probably understood it at least as well as you do. (He later changed his mind about its viability.)

More generally I wouldn't doubt Putnam's ability to grasp technical material. This is a guy who contributed the solution to one of Hilbert's problems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_tenth_problem).

>It is ok if someone doesn't get Kolmogorov

No-one has provided a solution to the rock problem in terms of Kolmogorov complexity. Scott Aaronson speculates that this notion might be helpful, but he doesn't work out the details. In fact it seems rather unlikely that his proposed solution would work, as the mapping from abstract computational states to the physical states of actually existing computers is also extremely complex, and not obviously any less complex than the mapping from these states to physical states of rocks, waterfalls or whatever. Since we can't actually specify any of the relevant mappings, it's very difficult to say for sure that they differ significantly in terms of Kolmogorov complexity.
You're right. I would prefer to have a desktop, but then I'm paying for two computers.
It has a nice homepage and good examples but what would a language like this provide over something like Kotlin? Also, I had to dig down into the homepage to find out that it compiled down to JVM byte code.
7 Rapid API Integration Guides
Agreed, they're cheap and functional. We have a couple powering a Grafana dashboard and a Dashing one. It's pretty trivial to set them up using Raspbian and create a script that loads the browser full screen and then the dashboard of choice.
If you need to display more content on fewer devices then Grafana can also do playlists so that you can rotate content, plus there are some browser plugins to let you automate tab focus (so a few tabs with a dash each and one displayed every 30 seconds, for example).
This is correct. The C++ standard specifies that sort must have a big-O complexity of n log(n). This can be seen on pdf page 925 of this working draft from 2014 [1].

It does exactly the same thing as social security/welfare

Not at all. The main problem with social security/welfare is that getting and staying on it is basically a job in itself. And the fear of accidentally doing something that will get you kicked out is enough to make people avoid taking shorter term work, freelancing, getting further education etc. etc. Take away all the effort and uncertainty of getting and staying on those programs and people will be freed up to potentially make all kinds of changes to their lives that are currently not possible.
I program in a lot of languages that also have different styles (JavaScript, F#, C#, Objective-C, Python and PHP) and I find Swift pretty much ticking all the boxes that make it a nice language to me for the majority of tasks I like to do. I would probably use it also if I could pick other languages outside of Apple's choices.

So far from what I've tried F#, Swift and Python are my favorites depending on the task at hand. C# and F# are valid options for iOS and macOS development but I wouldn't take the extra complexity of another layer just to use a different language.
It's kind of an ocaml wrapper though but good point.
I already posted this further up but I want to add it again as I'm in agreement with you.

Obviously false. There is an explosion of fact checkers and still plenty of investigative journalism teams.

If you mean 'not every story is fully fact-checked and the product of investigative journalism', then sure. But then, they never have been. That's the nature of a news industry that tries to fill a paper by print time every day (or, in modern terms, to get their stories out a minute before the competition online).
I have never seen any ad on youtube; are they really integrated into the video itself ? from the fact that I never saw any either in the browser (with ublock origin) or through youtube-dl, I kinda just assumed they were distinct videos played by the JS player beforehand - and thus easy to bypass - and not an integral part of the main video file.

Anyway, to answer your question: youtube-dl can perform the page fetching and the download in the context of an authenticated user (for example for age-limited videos), so I assume that any advantages associated with a youtube account would most likely work with it.
Interesting. I registered unencryptedwebsite.com for that purpose the other day (have not set it up yet, though).

I don't know if I'd call the output of that a music "video". I was expecting something that perhaps splices together video segments from youtube in tempo with the music.
