I did that too. Look where it got us.

Anyway, I eventually set up a placholder Facebook account. Once I typed my name into the setup form, they provided a frighteningly detailed list of friends and acquaintances. Since then, due to "do you know" emails, I get the impression they slurp other people's call and sms logs (or maybe just contacts, if FB types are more OCD about address books than me) into their social network graph.

Anyway, it is not much of an exaggeration to say that facebook gets more metadata to sell every time you make a phone call, regardless of whether you have an account.

(Of course, I don't have their software installed on any of my devices. However, I did give them my phone number for 2FA purposes. How naive I was. Assuming the phone app grabs people's address books and/or call logs, they probably had it before I gave it to them)
Inflation statistics have the same problem. They typically don't include house, stock or bond prices. At best, they include some convoluted and highly questionable derivative of house prices like estimated rents. At worst houses don't affect the indexes at all.

This leads to a situation where central bankers are publicly saying "hmmm, we've done massive QE but there's no inflation, what a mystery" whilst the average punter is seeing housing and stock market bubbles inflate right in front of his eyes. It causes people to tune out: headlines like "inflation statistics hit new low" are placed right next to "house prices reach record highs".
I once knew a Mexican green card holder whose name was a soundex match to someone on the most wanted list. Suffice to say re-entering the US was a challenge for him.
I think everybody agrees that something went wrong and many people think that something should be done (although I personally think that medias inability to interpret and report on polling errors and uncertainty did greatly exasperate the situation). I just haven't seen any good articles making a strong argument about what went wrong and how to fix it

I usually find that I feel that failure "feels" very unfair if I failed when giving it my all. I find I face two choices then, give up, focus on what went wrong, get depressed and drop out. Or feel indignant anger, learn from what went right and try again.

Maybe not the healthiest way to do it, but I've never been one of those positive can do types -- or at least cultivating that kind of mindset never seems to carry the day for me. Operating out of anger and trying to make the world fair seems to be what gets the best results for me.

However, it may not work for others, wanting to see fair outcomes is a very deep seated compulsion for me, so I can latch onto that to drive motivation.

There a CEC near Chicago that was recently shut down by the corporation after 300 calls and 2 arrests in the last 6 years:

http://wgntv.com/2016/12/08/chuck-e-cheese-leaving-oak-lawn-...

IMO, and I worked in this business for a while, the problems have less to do with alcohol being served than the fact that CEC lets birthday parties mix with the rest of the public during operating hours. You can't place the games in a separate room for kids to play during parties, and parents want to feel like they should get some exclusivity for what they paid (when, in reality, you're just reserving space at the tables to eat pizza together). Tensions easily flare up in these situations.

In many places in western Europe we look at US policies to try to increase births.
I think blaming "career culture" isn't correct here. Two working parents has been the norm in Northern European countries for quite a long time now (usually due to necessity rather than because of a career), and they are still often ranked as the best places to raise a kid.
> inflation is always a monetary phenomenon

I don't understand this reasoning. Look, only one of the following can be true: (1) everyone can buy basic necessities of life, in which case nobody is poor and we don't need UBI, or (2) not everyone can buy the basic necessities of life. If (2) is true and we introduce UBI, then there will be more demand for the basic necessities of life (coming from all the people who were unable to afford them before), which will in itself result in inflation (which, btw, doesn't measure the total supply of money, but overweights the basic necessities of life and underweights e.g. the stock market). If you combine that with the decreased motivation of people to work (resulting in lower supply), the resulting inflation will be massive.

Based on your description, you do not have an MVP, but an attempt to find an MVP; what you have is untested prototype or an MVP that for whatever reason failed to validate your assumptions.

Only potientally asset you have to sell is the domain, which in my opinion is a completely different question; that being, how do I value & sell a domain?

The hosting, design, payment & registration systems, etc. - are most likely are liabilities unless proven otherwise given the related technical debt[1]; basically, these are commodities which best acquired from scratch based on the needs of party acquiring them.

Lastly, as you likely know, the point of an MVP is to validate an idea is of value, since ideas generally speaking are worthless; I would actually argue that good, but unvalidated ideas, have on average a negative value, since resources are required to store/process them and most "good" ideas fail validation attempts.

You don't get that option. The
first thing that happens to everybody
who is attempting to enter the US and
flagged is that they give you a form
to write down all keys and passwords
you might have, they will then unlock
your phone and attempt to find anything...

Actually, I have all the time in the world before my next flight, so I do get that option.

You see, even if I'm forced to write down a password, if that password decrypts a 3TB file filled with shit data that LOOKS like it's still encrypted somehow, and then throws errors on further attempts to decrypt, the goal is achieved.

I have old laptops I'm ready to throw in the garbage. I have old, dying hard drives I can partition with nonsense. If that's all I'm carrying, then border patrol can merrily spin their wheels on it, and it will never contain anything valuable, despite appearances, because it is junk and contains junk by design.

For phones? Well, if all I'm carrying is a 1990's candybar phone with a 4 digit pin, and I "unlock" it for someone, and it shows "NO SERVICE" because I never paid money to activate service on that phone, even though it's the only phone I'm carrying, the goal is achieved.

If I'm carrying a trashy 2008 edition smartphone, and I unlock the bootloader, and reflash with a custom ROM that contains 500 garbage contacts with (555) 555-5555 numbers and John Doe as the name, and then encrypt an SD card with a FAT partition that contains a single 4BG encrypted file that's really just random data, or maybe 9000 files with misleading file names, but all contain junk when decrypted, the goal is achieved.

If I jail break an old iPhone C that I bought refurbished, second-hand for $50 and then I activate it's password protection as the number 1234, but never place a SIM card in the slot, and load it with thounsands of random images from the internet, and tons of fake notes that look like Base64 data, and that's the only phone I'm carrying, the goal is achieved.

Your tangent about drugs is an unrelated digression.

Staging junk devices with garbage data, for the purpose of sacrifice to security theater, is fun, easy, and anyone can do it if they've got the next week or two to pack their bags.

Yes, the price of yachts won't increase, but who cares?

Do a simple thought experiment. Imagine there are 1 million poor. They, and everyone else, receive $12K per year. The poor (and those just above them on the economic ladder) will spend all of that on basic needs: food, housing, clothing, transportation. That's $12 Billion more now competing for a fixed amount of goods. What would any company/retailer/landlord do if they immediately sold out of everything they had? They'd raise prices until supply and demand were in equilibrium again. And thus the very things the poor need are the things the prices will increase the most, by virtue of them competing to purchase those items.

I'm not saying it's fair or right. But it is reality.

Great question! There happens to be an autonomous mechanism for supporting hybrid workloads (OLTP & OLAP). Peloton supports hybrid storage layouts that are automatically and dynamically adapted over time based on the workload patterns. Row and columnar storage types are special cases of hybrid storage layouts.

This is a promising area of ongoing research. If you are curious about this kind of autonomous tuning of storage layout, you might want to check this out [1].

If I had a magic wand and could give everyone everything, I'd do it.

But my wishes don't overcome basic supply and demand. Unless there's a lot more goods suddenly being produced, prices will rise if more people want them and can pay for them, which will tend to cancel the benefits of UBI.
As other answers have essentially already said- because Ferrari is a brand, and past a certain price point brand names often matter more than the physical object. Its the same in cars as in designer handbags.

The opposite question is equally interesting; why doesn't Ferrari produce a relatively cheap car, so that they can offer the Ferrari cachet to a broader market? Presumably as to not dilute their brand. But it means we might see such a thing if the company starts having problems (e.g., finds itself competing against superior electric vehicles or similar.)
I think this is pretty standard in the pbx business. The manufacturers don't give out the complete documentation for the system, so it is useless without paying money to your local dealer.

Fundamentally, our budgeting process in San Francisco is pretty broken. While much more than $50M/year is ultimately spent on homelessness, some of it is indirect (funds for San Francisco General Hospital to pay for ER visits), and much isn't re-allocatable. That said, there are folks trying to help.

In particular, Lava Mae [1] is providing mobile showers (in old refurbished buses!) but they only have a few. Google.org gave them a small grant to expand to LA [2], which also has a large homeless population but is massively spread out. My hope is that once they've proven the model a bit, that someone like Benioff comes in big (I'm not idealistic enough to hope that we could actually do this through a city bond).

I was about to make the same comment. It's amazing how much the layout affects the usability of the space. I hate, hate, hate those huge master bathrooms and walk in closets because they eat space. Also common where I am: large hallways and entryways that could have been part of a room instead, and an open seating area at the top of the stairs. (What is that even for? Why not just make it an enclosed office. I don't want to hang out on a couch at the top of a stairway). Older 1300 sq ft houses often feel just as spacious as new construction that is 2000 sq ft because they have no wasted space.
I don’t know, I’m under the impression that people here think that winning with a 20% predicted chance of winning isn’t indicative of anything wrong with the polls, because it’s like predicting the outcome of a die, and therefore nothing should be done at all. This false analogy is precisely what I’m trying to disprove.

I agree that there are currently no strong arguments about what were wrong and how to fix it, but I think it's because it takes time to investigate those things. According to Pew, the American Association for Public Opinion Research has a committee investigating it, and they should release their report in May. It took a 6-months investigation to come up with a report about what went wrong with the Brexit polls, so it will probably take a similar amount of time with this.

Is very rare to have a DB that not need both oltp/olap workloads.

All db-based apps end fast the need requeriments for transactional code and move into "infinity-reporting-requests".

For certain ERP I work on in the past, it have at least 300 reports in the base package. Most request was for more reports specialized for each customers. And additions to the transactional code was in part driven by the need to add more data for the reports!

So, I think have both styles is exactly what "everyone" want. Even folks that get stuck with NOSQL databases.

---

I have thinking very much about this, I consider the ideal architecture is a relational-db with decoupled modules that work like this:

Write:

Commands -> WAL -> WaLProcessorAndRejector -> EventLog -> EventLogDispatchToOneOrMoreOf:

- Nothing. EventLog just is history
- Caches
- Relational Tables for up-to-date view on data
- Columnar/Index for speed up part of the reports

Read:

ReadRequest -> ReadDispatchToOneOf:

- EventLog
- Caches
- Relational Tables
- Columnar/Index

The need to be modular is that what is need can change by need.

What are the better ways to address the perverse incentives that trap people in poverty?

Also, do you think the current distribution of incomes is proportional to how much wealth is produced? Does an executive who makes a hundred times as much as a skilled worker work a hundred times harder, or produce a hundred times as much value for people, in some measurable way?

Pretty sure border security does fall under the executive branch.

Obama, for all his good social policies, had a much harder stance on foreign policy than I think was needed. I don't believe the failing TSA is the reason we don't have many transit-related terrorist attacks in the USA.

Not to mention, a large majority of the US population is xenophobic and/or racist. Giving the appearance of relaxing border security (even though it's been shown to be completely ineffective as-is), would be a poor political move.

Considering one of Trump's campaign promises was to build a wall between the US and Mexico - I doubt he's going to make things better.
Not sure where you are getting that 50mil is all it takes number. Sf spends much more than that right now.

I believe the cities cost per unit is more then 500k. 50mil of housing in sf would barely make a dent.

Now 50mil in Mississippi would go a long way. Which is why I hope this becomes a national issue where we can use money from sf and use it to address the issue in cheaper places. It also might help the cheaper places economies.

So is intellectual property. We live in a world where information is routinely outlawed. Some of us are used to it.

>outlawing questions, especially between private parties in a consensual relationship (applicant and employer), is backwards

It would be a consensual relationship if there were some sort of basic income that were enough to live on with dignity.

It's an article of libertarian faith that the employer/employee relationship is an equal and consensual one, and an easily disprovable one at that: try living with debt, no savings and no job for 5 years.

So don't post it online to begin with. There are things that simply shouldn't be posted online under any circumstances.

Trade dispute resolutions are not legally binding. The judgements are to be implemented or ignored by the sovereign governments that are party to the agreement. If the US Congress ratifies a trade deal, they are saying they will abide by whatever type of dispute resolution is in the deal. If a judgement is made against them, they can comply in the interest of remaining party to the deal or reneg on the whole thing and lose the costs and benefits. Same as signing a peace deal with anither country. We can start shooting again whenever we want but it just means they will shoot back. Sovereignty is at never violating.

It's not "funny", it's the core part of basic income that separates it from state-run socialism. Not making a determination about what is or isn't basic is one of the key points. You give a person their $500 each month and let them determine what it should be spent on. What is basic for one person may not be for another.
