I don't disagree that it is a wrong move, but those are all service jobs, which have crap pay and probably a mine employs more people than a hotel.
You said the magic word: drivers. There are already plenty of boards with superior hardware to the Raspberry Pi. But one of the Pi's advantages is its driver support. That support in itself is a function of the enormous community that has sprouted up around it.

So thats what remains to be seen: are the drivers going to be written/debugged to make all of that hardware play nice with each other.
It has been 0 days since hacker news argued about basic income without any new data.
I'm using both TypeScript and Flowtype for my projects, hence the second boilerplate repository on GitHub: https://github.com/jsynowiec/node-flowtype-boilerplate

Usually I tend to lean towards TypeScript due to:

- Much better tooling and editor/IDE integration (I'm using vscode and WebStorm),

- DefinitelyTyped repository and the availability of type definitions,

- It's subjective but TS has better documentation and examples,

Don't get me wrong, the Flow (and React) community is doing a great job and in my opinion Flow is a very good tool for static type checking. The real problem with both is the coverage/quality of type definitions and the amount of time it takes to create typedefs. Right now there are many more typedefs available for TypeScript and the community is stronger and more active.

Also, right now one common format or conversion between definition formats is not possible, see: https://twitter.com/lbljeffmo/status/787692583350829056
I used awk until I learned Python (long ago). For me, awk was yet another example of the "worse is better" approach to things so common in unix. For example, if you make a syntax error, you might get a message like "glob: exec error," rather than an informative message. "Worse is better" is probably a good strategy in business and for getting things done, but still, mediocrity and the sense of entitlement that so often goes with carelessness, sickens me.
May I suggest this book specifically tailored for python best practices? https://jeffknupp.com/writing-idiomatic-python-ebook/

Its a wonderful read. Will really unleash the pythonista inside of all us!

If you really want to go deeper, I suggest these as well:

Those shortened links take you to amazon (not affiliated in any way, FYI, just though the length of the URLs was obnoxious)

Those are the definitive python programming books I came up with anyway.

While we are at, I have to say once I learned to really code Pythonically I find that I can apply the PEP8 standards to almost any language. Admittedly, I, like John Siracusa, am a top level language debutante and don't live in C or C++ production code (I sometimes use objc but swift is...easier :). I remember learning C, and thanks to arduino I certainly using some varient of C/c++ there more heavily, but my coding style follows more or less the pythonic standard (with PEP8 being the backbone of that).

food for thought, people of hacker news!

I'm adding to the the discussion cause we have very smart people here with very good assessments on what the implications are for basic income. I had to chime in to clear some of the speculation on the arguments brought forward. I'm not for or against basic income at the moment but I want to make sure we are all on the same page on what inflation is and the basics of economics.

Inflation is simply the influx of money that causes the "value" of ALL goods/services to increase. This is due to the increase of the money supply which decreases the value of the currency. I emphasize that it is the value of ALL goods/services not just one or a large number of sectors.
When we see prices rise up in goods and services in one area it isn't inflation because it is in one area of the economy.

Another misunderstood axiom of economics is that a market is based on finite resources. If goods in one area of the market increase then somewhere else across the economy the value of goods and services decrease.
Now the misinterpretation of inflation and price hikes happen due to one variable, time. The time it takes for price hikes in one area to affect another is what gives the perception of inflation. But when the value of groceries significantly increases then I assure you people are going to eat out less. It just takes time for the sectors to affect on one another.
So there are more people who read Dark Horse comics and think like me :) Converting into CBZ directly was my initial idea, but then I discovered that there is direct download link to tar archive that contains all the images (I did that by following the network traffic of the iOS app). I didn't want to bother with half-baked JavaScript libraries to extract the tar archive and recompress it into zip, so I just quickly wrote a Go application to do that.
but to change the widespread perception that treatment of different groups is not equitable

What do you mean by this? I'm afraid I do not understand.
I really don't like this idea.

It would freak a significant proportion of the community out who fail to distinguish what is a web page and what is their computer. They would honestly think that their computer is not secure and their local files/photos would be at risk. After the initial panic and speaking to their "friend who is good with computers" that they will just ignore it forever.

The far better approach is to aggressively warn at users at the point where they are trying to do something secure over an insecure connection. Personally I would be adding UI elements next to HTML forms saying "Do not enter your password here".
Typical super-car designs embrace wider chassis and lower-sitting suspension. Both are impractical for daily driving. Not to mention the absence of space for occupants or lack of trunk space. Try to sit in any coupe with the second row of seats and you'll instantly feel like a sardine.

I think an even bigger issue is that you can't have a car with the super-car design but without the matching horsepower. They just wouldn't sell. And if you added the corresponding horsepower you all of a sudden created something that most people won't be able to drive daily without major safety concerns, which is why these cars are in their own class to begin with. I drive a modified WRX with slightly over 300 ponies and I can tell you that when i first started driving it there were times when i'd gun it to get around someone and would just have a hard time slowing the car down. Same with taking quick turns where giving a bit of gas can send your car for a wild spin. This is why youtube is full of lambo and ferrari owners crashing their cars while trying to show off at intersections and turns beause people have no idea how to drive with so much horsepower lol

When it's wild-caught, make sure it's sustainably harvested. Alaskan fish is actually great in this regard. (Go figure one of their biggest industries is OK with government regulation.)
from the article you cited: Milton Friedman advocated a minimum guaranteed income via a “negative income tax.”

Minimum guaranteed income is different than basic income.
Are you on Chrome by any chance? I have exactly same behaviour, which I can't track down.
I was curious, so I did the math.

Total worldwide carbon production is 38.2 billion tons per year. Cost to sequester a ton of carbon is between $30 and $150, depending on who you ask and how you do it. Let's assume a middle of the road price of $90/ton. That's $3.438 trillion a year, or about $478 per person. This is roughly equal to the US yearly federal spending, or 3% of the world GDP.

If you somehow pooled together all the world's billionaires and got them to contribute their annual income (roughly $600 billion a year, averaging the past 7 years) to the effort, you could eliminate roughly 20% of carbon produced in the world every year.

-------------------------

Suddenly, it becomes crystal clear why finding new sequestration methods is incredibly important: if you can get the cost from $160 to $10 per ton, then suddenly all you'd need would be a coalition of half the world's billionaires to stop the main cause of global warming.

Additionally, it's important that people realize that CO2 production is in tons of CO2 per year. Tree offsets are a one-time deal, since when trees die they release CO2, and when new ones are born they absorb that CO2 again. After they've been planted, forests are generally carbon neutral. That's why we can't "just plant trees": we'd have to be continuously planting new trees. The Earth is only 8% arable land, much of which already has stuff on it, or is undesirable for one reason or another. We'd run out of space pretty fast. Trees are good for other reasons: preventing climate change (different from global warming), preserving species diversity, being nice to look at, etc etc.

-------------------------

Mostly off-topic: when I was looking at estimates of land size, apparently the amount the US has shrunk from 2007 to 2015 (14,000 km2; went from 9,161,120 km2 to 9,147,420 km2) [0] is roughly equivalent to half the area of the Netherlands. Wow.

> Consider for a moment that from this day forward, on the first day of every month, around $1,000 is deposited into your bank account – because you are a citizen.

If implemented, it will surely be a disaster in America (DOA - Dead on Arrival), considering how well African Americans have worked and abused the Food Stamps system.

Let me tell you a story. I was getting my beat up Honda Civic in SOMA last month, when a black dude rolled up in a Mercedes-Benz and paid cash to the owner for some work done earlier. After he left, I told the Mechanic "Wow, High roller huh?". To which the mechanic laughed. "Well. He lives in Bayshore (Bayshore is like Ghetto / Projects) in a nice 3-BR apt, pays only 300$ rent, and has 4 kids, because the more kids you have and are un-employed, the more hand-outs the govt gives in terms of food stamps and stuff, and the less they charge for rent." He said it gets even better for "single moms", so women who are single moms deliberately choose to not marry their new dude, despite being with him for several years, since they'll lose the "benefits" from the government.

In short, American are inherently lazy and will "work the system" any which way they can. I see the people getting high on weed with free $ from the Goverment and not doing anything to become gainfully employed again.

The last time I went to Canada, I was on a men's yacht cruise from Lake Erie to Lake Huron, and at one point we docked on the Canadian side, took a ride to a restaurant, and had a great dinner. So, we had to go through Canadian customs or whatever.

I had no passport, and the Canadian customs didn't ask for one.

The Canadian customs officials were all women, looked friendly, and were smiling. It looked like Canada was a really nice place!

So, I joked, self deprecating, that here I was, a US citizen from the crass, crude, violent, insensitive, vulgar US! :-) Right away with some seriousness of agreement the Canadian woman concurred! Still, it was a nice trip to Canada! I like Canada and hope to go back!

Of course, next time, in trying to return, maybe the US customs won't let be back in!

I think your explanation on the racist name calling shows why this is such a difficult topic.

There is a incorrect assumption that people often make, without malice, about economics being a zero sum game. It really is not, almost by definition.

The more people in an area, usually the more opportunity people have for employment over a long time period, and the higher the economic output.

Also, there is a difference between refugees (i.e. people who might otherwise die) and economic immigrants. It's hard to fault someone for their perception that other people might take their jobs, correct or not. It is easier to fault someone for taking the same stance when the alternative for the immigrants is potentially far more catastrophic. Especially when the arguments are more about culture and race than employment.

Based on what you described (that they have operating earnings coming in the door) this sounds like a good reorg case. Whatever they did to take on so much debt the debt service cost is no longer sustainable by the business. In this case when they require new funding (to pay off maturing debt or just to keep the business operating because suppliers/banks etc are no longer willing to extend credit) the new capital providers (in this case affiliates of Citi) would typically demand that they file for bankruptcy first, because the new lenders don't want to comingle their capital with the existing lenders. Funding provided post filing has priority claims on the assets of the company. During the bankruptcy the company negotiates with existing creditors to lower the debt service cost temporarily or permanently. If there is impairment to existing claims the equity ownership is essentially wiped out and new management is typically brought in by the creditors. Creditors may convert all or part of their claims into equity holdings in the new entity exiting bankruptcy. All of these are designed to orderly resolve claims and give the company a new chance, except the process can be drawn out if the parties involved have different ideas on how best to proceed. The best cases are when the creditors can agree with the management on a plan of resolution pre-filing and the bankruptcy court is used to bring certainty to the plan, in which case the process is often quite short. LBO debt structure is often designed to ease restructuring (with subordination) and holders are likely more concentrated and familiar with the bankruptcy process. If only bondholders are impaired this could be over relatively quickly and the pension claims will not be harmed (at least on paper). The problem is that the bondholders could be too rosy about the business prospect and not willing to impair their own claims enough for the company to be truly financially sound and in a few years the company may be back to the same process a second time.

An economist would say that almost any time a market leads to an unfair allocation of wealth or income, there is a reasonable solution that involves a transfer of wealth from one party to another, rather than adopting a non-market solution.

The most galling thing about this is that there is a reasonable compromise here, which is that you let the market decide things properly then you fairly pay off the people who were negatively affected, by intensive job training, relocation, early retirements + pensions, etc. For example compared to Germany, the job training in the US is a complete joke.

But American (and especially Republican) ideology of the rugged frontier individualist would never allow the blow to the psyche that would come from officially being on the 'government dole' or admitting needing help from anyone else.

Hence we have all these disguised welfare schemes (defense contractor jobs are another example) that are economically inefficient and environmentally damaging, mostly for reasons of personal and regional pride.
So? Watch less TV is an instant remedy.

The Oracle docs are not really the reference documentation for the open-source stuff, since illumos and Oracle Solaris have diverged quite a bit by now. Some things are implemented in different ways. OpenZFS in illumos has many features not in the closed oracle zfs.

The real reference docs are the man pages [1].
Depending on the illumos distribution there are more task-oriented guides for OmniOS [2], OpenIndiana [3] or the SmartOS Wiki [4].
In-depth information (driver development, MDB, DTrace) is written down in the "illumos books" [5].
These are not in danger from oracle.

Sadly a lot of good historical documentation is already gone since oracle broke all the sun.com links and not even archive.org has those. :(

Giving up usually doesn't help. Just taking time to identify the root causes often leads to a simple and better solution.

Unfortunately, I am rarely able to convince others to follow along.

My company is extremely successful and our spectacular failures (often discussed on HN) pales in comparison to our success. I worked for several groups that lost multi-billion dollar markets because they were unwilling to make simple and obvious changes. For example, don't focus on our success and claim victory; look at our failures and make corrective actions. Seems pretty simple but maybe due to the innovator's dilemma, no one seems to care.
If you are in truly favorable conditions it is actually very easy to see the northern lights with the human eye. It is very in-your-face, ghostly, and hard to miss. Northern Norway and Sweden are smack in the middle of the aurora belt and have a much greater chance of such conditions than the Netherlands, and you see highly-visible auroras almost every couple of weeks when there is a clear sky, and less-visible auroras almost every day there is a clear sky. I would recommend Abisko followed by Tromso if you want near-ideal conditions.

On less-favorable days what you say is true: it is hard to see with the naked eye and a camera works wonders.
Note: I didn't watch the video yet and my opinion might change by then.

C teaches you something very useful, which is how the computer works under the hood. Most things you do in C loosely match to what the computer does, and learning C helps you understanding the computer.

I'm not saying that it's a good language to start with, but it's okay. Unlike C++.

IMO, C++ is the worst possible language to start with. The reason for this is that C++ tries to support everything, often using handy but cryptic syntax. C++ doesn't guide you to program one way or another, it simply adapts to every possible way to solve the problem. This might be good on the hands of someone that already knows how to solve the problem, but it's completly overwhelming for a begginer. It feels like you're taking the wrong turn at every step.

A much better alternative would be JavaScript. Yes, it does have flaws, but it's much simpler and has personality.
To be fair, and I don't have your context on this, but looking at your link of the assignment for [0] it appears to me that this is more of an exercise in getting people comfortable with more advanced bash features, specifically looks like it relies fairly heavy on regex? I agree that BS4 is a better tool for this job, certainly, but there is perhaps a point in what is going on here too.

As far as the second one goes, I bet that has more to do with the professors particular familiarity with C than it does an understanding of what the best tool of the job for that is. I'll cede that point :)
This is a long term, strategic decision.

Seems like when I was coming up in the 90's. Good lord the job postings wanted you to be a master in at least 10 disciplines for the pay of one. Literally they wanted network engineer, network security, system admin, DBA, developer, ...

It was obscene and almost everyone was lying and padding their resumes JUST to get an interview. Total insanity.

Looks like nothing has changed. Seriously I doubt anyone is a senior level anything in more than one database. SENIOR level. I've been using PG for decades but I still wouldn't say I am senior. I would truly love to meet the person who has senior level skill in ALL of those databases. I don't think they exist. Either that or your definition and mine of Senior level knowledge VASTLY differ.
Most universities introduce young students to programming with C/C++ and depending on the orientation they'll either learn Java or C#(if the university prefers ms) or JS/PHP. Other languages used to be optional or presented as they're inferior just because they're less popular. Most students won't proceed with functional programming languages if the university concentrates on procedural programming and how to "memorize" the code instead of understanding it. This is how the stackoverflow-copy-paste coders born.
In the context of open source contributions, no one is displaced.

In a wider context, yes, it's a bit more complicated, but Free Software? As a movement, there's power in numbers, and looking to increase that number via a focussed effort on minority groups is simply a smart move.
But you have a magic wand that can give everyone at the very minimum the "basic needs", it's called better wealth distribution.
Exactly. TSC usually complains on all stubs, mocks and spies or it takes massive amounts of time to properly annotate the types. Unit tests quickly don't follow AAA rule, are hard to read (and understand) and the required time investment is not worth it. I find using TypeScript for source code and JavaScript for unit tests much more convenient.
I guess it's two sides of the same coin.

I wear socks when I travel. In the summer, I run barefoot outside through our gravel parking lot to toughen up my feet.

I don't travel enough by plan to worry about the health effects of an xray machine, but I do drive my car daily.

And well, I don't spend a lot of time carefully packing my suitcase.

So if that's the worst you get from the TSA, well who cares, you're experiencing the same things everyone else who travels in the US.
It happens more often than you would expect. I live in an area of West Tennesse that made sports apparel for the most part. After the signing of the NAFTA agreement in 1993, we lost multiple factories and unemployment jumped to 20% in less than 2 years.

It took out the factory jobs, the service jobs that supported all of the people that worked there, and sent more than one county into such a downturn that it has still not recovered fully. Everywhere you look are empty buildings and homes as large sections of the community was forced to pick up and leave to find work.
