I've been doing preliminary research on what kind of high-density trees grow reasonably fast in different climates. If the wood has a high enough density it will sink in water without treatment. Wood that has been submerged can take 100s of years to decay. Hence it might be possible to lock away a lot of carbon and give us some breathing room, by repeatedly clear-cutting and reseeding forests and sinking the logs. Even without high-density wood, it might be worth the effort to treat the timber so that it will stay sunken. I did some estimates previously that suggest the amount of land area that would have to be dedicated to this to reduce atmospheric CO2 is not unreasonable.
I'm glad to see someone voicing this opinion. Empathy takes looking at why you're dismissing the plight of other people and seeing how hard you have to futz with the multipliers before you can't dismiss it anymore.

If us tech folk looked at it truly thoughtfully, we'd understand exactly how hard the world is for most people, and how easily it could turn that way for us.

Every industry is all about competition, consolidation, and maximizing profit. The older this one gets, the lower the wages are going to be for your run of the mill programmer. The societal message that "everyone should learn how to program!" is ultimately all about lowering wages.

As regular ol' programming tasks become cheaper and cheaper, we'll keep adapting and doing more specialized work, right? So what there's no one wanting to pay you 6 figs for making CRUD apps anymore. Just learn some machine learning and away you go! A year goes by and uh oh, Microsoft just added auto-ML to excel at the price of 20$ a month. How long can your job last? Better change specializations again!

Maybe it wont happen in our life times, but the wealth we're all capturing in this industry WILL dry up and get captured. And eventually there will be a new technological revolution that fills a new pond somewhere else. There will be a whole lot of callousness until a vast sum of us have to finally make that long horizontal migration. People who change from actionscript to rust are making tiny vertical migrations in career. It's not at all the same thing.

I find this hard to believe. Why would a job "in communistic days" be different from, well, a job?

The choice of which CPU/SoC (system on chip) drives that. The Odroids that support USB3 have an Amlogic CPU that includes USB3. This board has a Rockchip RK3288 that does not support it.
This reminds me of something my CS professor/mentor told me once.

'Teach how to program C, you will give them a job. Teach someone how to LISP, and they will keep learning forever'

We learned a lot of LISP and Functional based programming from this guy. I mean a lot. Fun times I do miss!

Is coal less expensive than wind or solar? It probably is, but I don't know where to look up such data.

I'm beginning to see that religion is a way to find answers to life's difficulties. But in the past I found it so hard to filter the wisdom from the noise. There's just so many charlatans that want to scare you into their view of what religion is. I've learnt that reading with a critical eye is the best way to learn from all the wisdom that has been past forward through books.
"showing that odds based investing can be relatively easy"

It depends on what you mean by easy. To maximize the probability of going from $1 -> $1B in 1000 flips, you need to bet almost everything you have every time (the answer to the problem is > 0.99999).

If you do so, you must win at least 917 of the coin flips to get more than $1B. I can't compute the probability of this event, but using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, the probability of winning at least 615 coin flips is less than 1 in a trillion (10e-12). You can imagine how much lower it is if you need 917 flips.

This is under the favorable betting scenario where you get 2x the value of your bet every time you win.

EDIT: Ignore everything above. Clearly I solved this a while ago and forgot to check what the actual question was. The probability that you become a billionaire is > 0.99999, the optimal fraction is quite small, of course.

Things change drastically if you get the value of your bet when winning instead of 2x (it seems you need 602 coin flips in that case which is about 0.07 in a billion).

That's just the first link I found of ddg. It's plenty easy to find more. Things are getting better, but we are far from done with this fight.

Anecdotally: I've lived on the west-coast, and the midwest/south. In both areas I have seen blatant racism take place both culturally by individuals, and systematically by police.

As an American, I ashamedly disagree that this is at all libel.
I've been seeing a lot more articles blocked by "surveys" these days. Normally there's a skip option. The mirror group of sites are especially bad for this.
The point of this article is that the injected CO2 reacts with the rocks to create stable solids, so that it can't leak even if the physical containment fails after a few years. That is a significant improvement over e.g. schemes to inject CO2 in depleted oil fields, where physical containment failure would indeed undo all the benefits of sequestration.
Go is almost memory safe. There are two known areas where race conditions can break memory safety - maps (that was on purpose, as a possibly premature optimization) and shared slice descriptors (a design bug).
I agree, but talk about kicking yourself in the ass, when the world's coal consumption rates drop and WY isn't ready. Also I would imagine they would want to export as much of this coal as possible, by consuming it themselves they're probably making less money off of it.

They may (keyword may- this may not pass) be able to manipulate their own market but doing so is going to be terrible for them in 10 years.
Oh boy there are some serious errors here.

Returning a stack allocated value does not invoke the move constructor. It doesn't copy either. This is a separate optimization that existed even prior to C++11 called the "named return value optimization" or NRVO for short. And by "sufficient new compiler" you really should just say every compiler. No compiler I know of in existence used by actual people doesn't implement this.

Here's a demo: http://ideone.com/QRqj5P

It's VERY important that this optimization isn't confused with move construction as the latter would actually be extremely less performant than what actually happens.
When I was made unemployed, it was the lack of money that made me feel undignified. I couldn't feed my kids and had to as for handouts.

Since it is statistically true, I'd disagree.
I do something similar. I have a few rules for myself right now. Mostly:

* Work on my book[1] every day.

* Exercise twice a week.

* Run every weekend.

* Then a few ones around what I eat.

I allow myself to tune those rules over time to better optimize what I'm going for, however I don't let myself change a rule right when it's in play. If it's Sunday afternoon and I haven't run yet, I don't get to decide if I'm going to change my running schedule. Past me set that rule, and present me must follow it.

After I run, I can consider tweaking it. But, then, of course, I find that after I've run, I feel pretty good about it and end up sticking with the rule.

Open source software isn't a zero sum game. When one person joins, that does not displace someone else who would normally gravitate to that field because open source can scale efficiently to any number of contributors.

On the contrary, not having enough diversity can and does put off those who would otherwise make great contributors.
The M5 makes the same tradeoffs but in a different way. It takes a very good sedan and makes it even better. But, there's no question that it would be even better to drive if it wasn't limited to being able to comfortable seat 5 people or fit golf clubs. We might still even have a lovely NA motor like in the E60 =[

Also I don't think the M5 is actually a sports car? I mean don't get me wrong, it's completely awesome and I would absolutely love to have one, but it's also nearly 4400 pounds and a sedan.

Origins of the term "sports car": http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a28225/sports-car-de...
Yes but that's irrelevant. What will really happen is, as I said earlier, a combination of saving/investing, spending, and paying off debt. (Obviously, what else can you do with money?) Spending on basic needs is not the only option. They are not forced to do so. And don't underestimate just how much debt the American poor have, and how much they can benefit from relieving their debt.

Sorry. I must have mis-understood your argument about why prices would change. I thought you were positing that the recipients might spend all the UBI on retiring credit card debt, causing prices to not change. I thought that to be exceptionally unlikely.

Upon re-reading, I still read your words that way.

Country A has pure UBI. Country B has "almost UBI" where, in order to receive payments, the person must have documented proof of 3 hours per week of at least one of: volunteer work, education as a student, or teaching a class. In this scenario, I would expect country B's economy to dominate country A's economy because in order to get your check you have to work with other people (volunteer), make yourself better (student), or make others better (teach).
Lotus Elise, BRZ, Alpha 4C, and others are very nice cars with lower horsepower to match the handling. It's nice to be able to drive something to it's full potential without electronics or loss of license. I haven't owned any of these cars but I do own a 600cc sport bike. Modern 200+ hp litrebikes are now mostly just computers on wheels.

Oh downvote me into oblivion. But whatever the hell you're doing US, it's not good. It's not good for you, it's not good for the planet. It's not good for your citizens, it's not good for humans all around the planet. With all your overseas missions to "protect freedom" or some other utterly irrelevant excuse to satiate your military-industrial complex, you fail to do the one thing that might actually help. Progress. Progress beyond your dependence on fossil fuels, progress beyond the need to entice war, slavery, destruction for those who hold those mineral resources you value so dearly. Just think for a second: however much is left, however destructive it might be to the planet to extract and burn it(losses beyond imagination included), there is still a finite amount of it. You could be the front-runners in a revolution never seen before. The front-runners in an economy liberated from the need to see energy as "scarce". You're stuck in a mindset. "Energy is scarce". It's not, it's abundant. It's /everywhere/. Solar, Geothermal, Wind and Hydro-electric are not some hippy post-fact climate change conspiracy: they can and will provide you with unlimited and free energy. Just /think/ for just a second what that would do to your infrastructure. Grow food in deserts? Done. Free transport across the world? Done. Virtually free drinking water through ocean desalination? Done. Massive reductions in prices for food and other necessities? Done.

But no, you want to live in a world where energy is scarce and you're the sole "protector" of its use and freedom. Cite "jobs lost" or whatever you can think of to protect your bubble; but this path you're on is not sustainable.
It's really a need to feel useful. If we permit politicians to conflate a specific manifestation of that need as being a want for gainful employment, we will end up with protectionism. We will see laws prohibiting certain kinds of automation. And we will see a fight between different classes as one class feels entitled to work, and another class feels entitled to save money on labor.
Agree, in the context of the annual budget of the US, seems like this is possible at scale, but feels like this is too simple of an answer; looking into it.

Sorry! Yes, to be clear, the code segments of the binary will be encrypted by FairPlay. But the other segments aren't. The "strings" command will still dump all of the strings in these binaries. You'd need to jailbreak to figure out the algorithm of how those substrings strings were concatenated, but he probably could have deduced what was going on from the "SavedPasswords" string just the same.

Check out verify.ly to get some surprising info on what iOS apps are doing behind the scenes. There are plenty of apps that have the ability read your full contact data or your calendar without ever asking you. Skitch, Amazon, and Skype do one or more of those. I have deleted them and gone back to the web app for Amazon. FaceTime replaced Skype, and I'm stuck with Markup in Photos as a poor replacement for Skitch.

Of course there are plenty of safe apps that do not abuse APIs - for example, the Deliveries app by JuneCloud.
Prove that the average US citizen is more xenophobic and racist than any the average citizen of any other country then. I think you'll find the opposite. The US deals with these issues in the open, something Europe is only now being forced to do.
Oh, because on-call needs _more_ alerts... :3
Plenty of websites think they only have to secure app.example.com, while www.example.com can be left uncovered even though it serves www.example.com/login, because /login POSTs to the app. subdomain, and the session cookie is only set by and for the app. subdomain.

From a naive perspective, all requests passing private information are protected in such a scenario. But, of course, since the www. subdomain is uncovered, it can be MITMed and replaced with a phishing site. (A.K.A. a "spear-phishing" attack.)

This change somewhat fixes that scenario: the developer can no longer keep the /login route on the insecure www. subdomain; they'll have to serve that page securely (either by making www. secure, or, more likely—because it's lazier—just moving /login to the app. subdomain.)

Even though www. can still be MITMed to replace it with a phishing subdomain, that subdomain can no longer serve a login form itself. It would have to link to a "real" phishing FQDN (one the attacker controls enough to get a TLS cert for), at which point that domain can just be found and blacklisted by the browser vendors.

In a sense, it forces the attacker into the open, where the attacker themselves can be caught/blocked, rather than simply their attack being caught/blocked. (In other words, it forces MITM attackers into a situation more akin to current botnet malware-writers, where they must put up C&C infrastructure which can be traced back to them.)

Of course, this isn't nearly as good as just securing the www. subdomain; and it will force much more work (likely, doing said securing) on those who want to embed a login form directly on their www. subdomain's landing page. But, in the interim while we work on universalizing TLS, it will drastically decrease the value of spear-phishing attacks, just as spam filters drastically decrease the value of unsolicited bulk email ad campaigns.
I really identify with this myself. One of my main learning points about myself is that fretting and prevaricating about work and life is usually worse than just getting on with it.

I think this is due to a confusion between the two kinds of "move" in the article.

Returning a value from a C++ function is a "move" in the Rust sense. It's not a move in the C++ sense, since C++ moves involve move constructors.

It's probably this confusion that led to it being written that way, probably should be fixed.
Unless you're prepared to make up the difference in pay with social benefits, its disingenuous to suggest industries that are going to significantly lower quality of life for people.

That isn't what that answer means, is it? Rather, that is your odds of becoming a billionaire. Which is basically certainly.

Now, yes, that is greatly simplified and lets you always divide your current wealth. And always double. That is what I meant about floors and ceilings.

I recall playing with the code to toy with more realistic situations. Washing fees out of the game makes it a lot easier to not lose everything.

By no means guaranteed. But easier. And it is likely someone could have done really well by the odds.

Edit: Just saw your edit. Yeah, it was easy to think it was asking the other question. And yes, realistic scenarios are vastly different. Otherwise, a lot of us would be billionaires. :). Just pointing out that the odds aren't nil. Just small. And don't forget, in real scenarios you can change games once you have won enough.
I don't know about supercars, but what about simply sleek, small sports cars? Something like the Lotus Elan, Triumph Spitfire or the Porsche 911.

First-gen Mazda Miata is the only low-end car that I know that actually looks reasonably sleek and designed (the second-gen looks like a stupid ordinary car). It's no 911, but it has a nice retro charm.

A well-designed sports car doesn't need lots of power or anything else that should be particularly expensive. It just needs to look good.

There are many answers in this thread about performance, manufacturing tolerances, undermining your high-end brand etc., but none of that should apply here.

I'm asking partly because I think almost all modern cars are hideous, but I also can't afford a 911.
Hugelkultur is intended primarily to act as a long-term (5-20 year) fertilization and water absorption mechanism, so that other plants planted on top of the mound grow better.

In that context, you will have a net-positive CO2 absorption (or, a net-negative CO2 release into the atmosphere).
Quoting from above:

> ...whether or not people submit code is often silently affected by intangibles, like whether or not they think they'll be welcomed into the community and treated with respect and as an equal.

> Even if you want to argue that the reasons people have for deciding not to get involved in open source are wrong or that those intangibles shouldn't affect open source projects for some other reason, the fact is that the pattern will nevertheless self-reinforce and affect open source by deterring more hands from coming on deck.

Do you know how you appreciate your opinions being evaluated on their merits rather than through a political lens? Social movements -- which is something that the free software movement explicitly considers itself to be -- cannot hold anyone to that expectation and expect to make inroads with them. Just as countless entrepreneurs have commented in various threads on HN observing that making your product is never as hard as marketing it, so too are the challenges of convincing people to change...well, damn near anything, inclusive of how they think about the ethical relationship between people who make software and people who use it.

This new high priority project is, in the most cynical and utilitarian interpretation, very good marketing. More likely, it was proposed and approved by people who see an inherent value in it that you might not. If you still don't understand that value, there probably aren't a whole lot of other ways to explain it than have already been offered to you in this thread.
