You don't have to predict whether your exit will be clear. You just wait until you _can_see_ it's clear.

In the UK, it's pretty simple:
"You may enter a yellow box junction when your exit is clear and there is enough space on the other side of the junction for your vehicle to clear the box completely without stopping."

It's not complicated. It just requires an incentive (don't break the rule, don't pay a 1000 GBP fine).

Airbnb is supposed to be part of the sharing economy, where normal people can share their places to earn some extra money. But now it is turning into a heaven for rentiers to earn money with their redundant properties. Airbnb should have stopped those bookings themselves, not after being forced by local authorities.
I'm supposed to feel bad for an employer who claims to care about his employees—but not so much that he's willing to pay them a living wage? And is willing to incur the cost of moving out of state to avoid paying a rate that won't go into effect until 2021? How much business has he lost? Well... none. But he would. Really. Just like VCRs were the "Boston strangler" of the film industry.

> I really really like the ability to search apps with a few keystrokes

GNOME does this out of the box. It's possible to add this to e.g. StumpWM, i3 or AwesomeWM too.

Similar functionality is available in emacs with Helm: search through all callable functions by just typing a few characters.

> I really really like to be able to search clipboard history with another few keystrokes

Emacs does this, with yank-pop (M-y); Helm turns this into helm-show-kill-ring, which offers extremely convenient searchability.

I really can't recommend emacs highly enough: it's everything one could want in an operating environment.
Youtube also does this.. the interface is frozen for me on page navigation for around 2-5 seconds before I can start interacting.

FWIW, whenever I am forced to use Windows I want to hurl my computer through a window after using it for only a few minutes. Doing anything takes click after click after click: it's way too much work. Manual window management is horrible: it's way too much work. Trying to figure out how to make anything work is a chore, as is evaluating which websites are giving correct advice, which are outdated and which are trying to infect me with malware: it's way too much work.

Granted, I feel the exact same way about macOS (with slightly less concern about malware, to be sure).
Sometimes I wonder how quickly things could collapse in California if a place like Las Vegas gained enough critical mass in non gaming/convention businesses.

I would take the oppressive heat over the oppressive fog and piss smell of SF if it had the same job opportunities. I know the reason me and the majority of my friends pack into this peninsula like sardines to pay massive taxes, rents, and general COL expenses is purely because of the industry.

Definitely a chicken and egg problem but maybe if the state continues with anti-business and high tax policies, they may accidentally go over board and cause an exodus.

Author's sums don't seem to make sense.

How could an increase in $5 per hour for minimum wage translate into $40,000 per employee? Worst case scenario:

260 days * 8 hours * $5 increase = $10,400
> All this from one of the largest tax evaders in the world.

Where did you get that from? Or are you mixing up utilizing existing tax laws and legal loopholes with evasion? Or is it a reference to the EU tax ruling of $14 billion that's still in courts?

Wikipedia says, "Tax evasion is the illegal evasion of taxes by individuals, corporations, and trusts."
On the other hand, there are about 213 000 officially unemployed and 140 000 "hidden unemployed" with an employed workforce of 2 413 000. Worse than that, the benefit dependency has now started to become intergenerational. About one fifth of Finnish young men (20-24) are "NEET" (Neither in employment nor in education or training). To exaggerate a bit, they don't mind living on benefits as they have enough for housing, food and computer games, or whatever they do.

The problem with welfare system's pockets of >100% marginal tax are not only related to money in the long term. It's also that the payment of benefits is interrupted very quickly upon the employment office learning of someone getting any job (even temporary and part time) and resuming payments is slow. So although the money is evened out in the longer run, people who take a job tend to have short-term cash flow problems. They really suffer for taking a job, and that is wrong.

BI would help in that, but as a long-term solution on population level the equation looks unsolvable.
Also taxes are paid when you redeem miles for an award flight. BA is happy that you have to also pay ~1/2 of the ticket price in cash besides the miles.

The wealthy elite will need to get this through their heads. They must start paying people more. There isn't a choice. Businesses are sitting on trillions of dollars that haven't been used to "create jobs".

EDIT: Jesus. I apologize for making an economic sounding argument for this. I've taken it out. How's this...the wealthy elites need to pay people more for the sake of the stability of the social fabric. Find some economic rational for that if you like. (That's what economists really do anyway...Provide the theoretical underpinnings for the operation of their class.) They need to understand that having slightly smaller profit margins will be good for them as well, in the long run, due to a more stable republic. I understand that, as libertarians, you guys don't think that government can play a part in that. I do. We have a fundamental disagreement about that.

Propitiation follows: I know that all of you guys are very economically literate libertarians. I should never have fronted like I was anywhere in your league. I could tell you were not only attractive but powerful and noble as soon as you came in the room. Your ability to recite the economics that you picked up at Uni is not only impressive but frightening. Surely, your might and prowess will be known through the ages.
I've used a Mac for work for the past 5 years, I use Windows PCs at home but most of my computing devices are Android.

I usually find if I need something specific for production use, it's in some Linux distro, and I'll either SSH into one for work, or fire up a VM with that distro in it and SSH into it. The best dev environment I've been able to conjure up is using WinSCP to act as a bridge to whatever system I'm connecting to, and just using a local great text editor in Windows (Sublime Text, etc.). When you save, WinSCP just seamlessly saves it back to the server.

I'll keep a Putty instance permanently ssh'd in and flip to that for console stuff.

On OSX I've setup a network mount to the same linux machine/VM with SSHFS and edit with pretty much the same text editors and use iterm2 that's permanently ssh'd into the same machine/VM so the experience is virtually identical (with the exception that SSFHS can be a bit fragile).

Most of the other apps I choose are cross platform because I work on a similarly mixed OS team. I think every team should be mixed OS because it forces the teams to choose cross platform tools instead of locking themselves into platform specific choices.

I don't dev from my Android devices, but I do push stuff to them frequently, so they all have Servers Ultimate on them and I'll frequently setup ftp servers on them to move files or ssh servers so I can remote in and do some simple maintenance without have to do it on a small screen or fidget with an on screen keyboard.

If you aren't doing something really specialized on OS X, I'm not sure I understand what the crisis is except for people building too much of their identity into what device they're carrying around.

Apple's hardware is the best, by far, but at $3k a pop, I can buy 4 or 5 perfectly fine and similarly specc'd Windows Laptops, or 6 or 7 better specc'd desktops. If one breaks, just throw it away and buy whatever the newer one is and keep your hardware fresh.

If most of what you're doing is looking at a console, or editing in a text editor, it only takes an hour to get a new machine up and functional again anyways.

So much drama.

By the time minimum wage hits $15, he will be operating at a $200k loss. Are you implying that he is lying about that?

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.

To Apple's credit, they are occasionally way ahead of the curve on developer convenience, and have reaped huge benefits from that.

I tried making smartphone apps in 2003-07 for Symbian, Java ME and the very first Android beta (the one that had a traditional keypad phone emulator). The experience was always disheartening. Horrible IDEs that sometimes cost money, awful device feature fragmentation with no standard ways to handle it, inconvenient APIs designed in the style of '90s embedded platform expectations.

If you managed to get a working app together, distributing it was a mystery. On Symbian, you'd have to pay something on the order of $1000+ for certification from a "special Symbian partner", and even after that there was no central app store. There were websites offering downloads (and paid listings), but users would not stumble on those. It was a terrible offering all around.

The native iPhone SDK in 2008 changed all that. Suddenly there was a smartphone with a desktop-class IDE experience and desktop-derived APIs, with easy access to fascinating new multitouch UI possibilities... And there was an integrated Apple-curated store where you could publish any number of apps for only $99 / year! That was an amazing deal compared to anything that came before in this space. Some occasional hassles with Xcode bugs and certificate weirdness was nothing compared to the nightmare of the Symbian/JavaME style mobile dev experience.

Even before that, Apple had done well by its Mac OS X developers by offering the NeXT-originated Cocoa tools for free. Back in 2001, that wasn't the expectation yet. It was a good API, battle-hardened at NeXT already, and much better than anything Microsoft was pushing in that Windows XP timeframe. Apple's efforts to support OS X development had two major benefits: the Mac's resurgence was helped by increasing availability of good 3rd party software created by dedicated developers, and the iPhone global launch was greatly helped by the fact that those same OS X developers were able to easily move to the iPhone.

Perhaps some of us value our freedom?

Perhaps some of us find that it helps to develop on the same platform on which we deploy?

Perhaps some of us find that we don't, actually, spend all that much time on 'admin, busy-work type issues,' having decided on good, solid distros which fit our use cases (Debian works for me, others prefer RedHat)?

At the end of the day, though, it really is about freedom for me. You complain that you must tweak your system; I value that I can tweak mine.

Sounds reasonable. A patent is supposed to represent actual existing technology, right? So by patenting it, Apple claims to already have this technology. So the assumption that they could do this but chose not to, seems fairly reasonable.

I'm not sure if I actually like blaming this sort of accident on technology, rather than on the people being stupid with technology, but if this will discourage patent trolls from holding patents they're not using, hoping to catch someone else infringing on it, then it could be a net positive. At the same time, I'm hesitant about what other side-effects this kind of precedent might end up having.

>The added demand from paying higher wages to people at the bottom

The business that will pick up the slack in this example is one overseas. These employees would lose their job and would be unemployed, not increasing demand with higher wages.

Unless you are hoping trump enacts some seriously strict trade tariffs, it's pretty stupid to believe that every business hit with this raise will survive with the same number of employees due to increased demand.

AFAIK the STL is free to use any algorithm they want as long as it's O(n log n).
We can't possibly be spending less on prisons in long term. Sentencing is very lenient in Finland for everything (except tax fraud and drug offences, including the re-sale of chewing tobacco).
Agreed x100.

Another way to think of this would be that if this business can only afford to operate while the state subsidizes its employees dietary, medical, and transportation costs then maybe it is a bad business. Walmart apparently has the same problem.
This looks nice! Can anyone recommend an opensource/self-hosted alternative? Would really like to set something like this up in the office but would prefer to host it on my internal network. Plus I like to tinker with things :)

I'm currently running the latest release of ElementaryOS which runs off Ubuntu 16.04 it is great. It is very minimalist, and the desktop environment is really well done. Before ElementaryOS I was using ParrotSec OS which is on par with your typical pentesting / hacking type of distros but it comes with the latest and greatest of programming language tools. They're based off of Debian with their own modifications to the kernel to harden it, and out of the box you get TOR features that I never really used, but I'm sure that may interest some. Overall it was a great Distro my only gripe was not being able to properly install and use Steam on it. ElementaryOS has a nice Desktop Environment I appreciate but it either installs or doesn't. Fortunately this laptop took ElementaryOS, where in the past I have had issues installing it. I use ElementaryOS for everything from Python back-end RESTful service development to .NET Core application development with Rider. I'm also considering using SublimeText to save on startup time, although "Scratch" isn't too bad a text editor, it suffers poor naming (try to google for Scratch and you'll find the language before you do the text editor itself).

"but not so much that he's willing to pay them a living wage?"

The problem with word choices like that is the implication the human beings working for him are not living, and further, that's OK.

The reality is that "we" are paying the living wage to his employees via higher taxes in very expensive government services so he can pocket more profit than if he responsibly took care of his own employees.

Well, everything has some amount of implied/customary prerequisites. You wouldn't complain if a books "Introduction to Metaprogramming in Ruby" or "Introduction to C++ templates" didn't teach you programming.

In math many "general topics" like calculus, linear algebra, probability etc are sometimes studied a few times (eg the second course in calculus might start from scratch and carefully construct the real numbers, which the first course skipped), and I've noticed some authors use "Introduction to X" to mean "this textbook is meant to be a first course in X"
