What you just advocated there, is that "basic needs" must be denied to part of population in order to make them cheaper to the other part.

That's both economical and morally wrong.

I would like to share my experience on publishing my work in a top-tier IEEE journal, without any connections with academia. I have been working in industry and is considering shifting to academic research career. But the lack of publications made my chances very low. So I took up a research project, did research on it during "after the job hours". Once I was satisfied with the results, I created an account on IEEE paperplaza, wrote the paper as per the standards set by the journal and submitted. After five months of review, the paper got accepted. You can read more of my story here

Aerodynamically, they do to a meaningful extent although there is often a lag of several years due to the length of development cycles: for example the Datsun 240z and the Ferrari 275GT or the wedge shape of a 2012 Civic Coupe and the Lamborghini Countach of 1980's college dorm room walls. And there's decades of Camerys and Regals sporting spoilers on their trunk.

On the other hand, a lot of supercars are mid engine (or depending on your definition of 'supercar' sometimes rear-engined) and this dictates some of the features.
I would imagine that such a question is standard all over the place. Almost like a canary trap? For example, life-insurance forms. They ask you those types of questions as well as questions along the lines of "have you every been denied life-insurance by any provider for any reason".
But those increasing prices for robot labor are (partially) fed into the basic income, so UBI receivers will have more to spend.

There is a cycle and how quickly it cycles will be determined by how quick the various parts move.
Not all robot owners will increase their prices just as fast and people will not buy from the overtly expensive sellers.
Similar to the economic cycle we already have.

I certainly don't have an economics degree though.

Yes, the city got rid of school buses.

BUT, they still keep the different morning start times left over from bussing. Some schools start at 7:30, some 8:15, some 9 - these are all things you have to consider when picking your lottery list.

Just for the record, we picked 30 schools and spent oct & nov touring schools. The system is ridiculous and a failed experiment in my mind.

I've read that a large proportion of the homeless in SF are from SF. My hunch is that the economics of the city are causing a lot of lower income people to be placed at risk of losing their housing options. The difference may be in how European and American cities treat people who are "almost" homeless.

I mean Universal Basic Income, the system that people rave about where everyone gets this magical problem solving basic income.
Where would you put these 10-20k units. How much would land cost? And would the homeless even want to live in these units.

I've talked to many homeless on the streets and most don't want to go to the homeless shelters, they prefer their tents. And just about all of them have some sort of mental illness and/or drug addiction.

I don't think sf realistically has enough money to properly address the issue. And if we did give the best care in the nation, we'd get even more homeless at our door.

My hope is that homelessness becomes a national issue and that we can send the homeless to states with a cheaper cost of living where we can afford to provide them the help which is necessary.
Fonera is nice in my country (and a few other European ones) because one of our largest ISPs made a deal with them, so every client of theirs is also a Fonera member, and therefore a hotspot I can use.
I think the problem is that it's quite challenging to explain something like the "Many Worlds" interpretation of quantum mechanics to a general audience that often doesn't have any prior knowledge of modern Physics or even linear algebra. So, in order to explain it in simple words, people use analogies. And analogies are probably the greatest tool we have in teaching, because they help people to understand a given aspect of a theory by comparing it to something they already know. However, when taken too far they will always break down. Hence, in order to do good popular science, we need to find analogies that fit very well with the theory which we want to explain, and when using them we need to make it very clear which parts of the analogous system can be mapped to the theory we explain, and which ones can't.

From reading the articles the author cited as examples of "Fake Physics" I have the impression that their authors simply took the analogies they used too far, thereby saying things that are simply not true. And while this surely is problematic I wouldn't call those articles "fake", as there seems to be no malicious intent behind the misleading analogies.
Sure. I meant that though in the context of "I've been learning this at work as part of a get-good-at-Linux regime". Which I suppose involves using awk mostly for command pipelines / one liners. Awk and Perl would have a lot of overlap (autosplit, matching, BEGIN, END, etc) in that space.
Several of the antibiotics in use as feed additives act selectively, changing the mix of microorganisms rather than destroying them all.

I swear I'm not a shill for big ionophore, but this is something they do in ruminants, they shift the mix away from one that tends to lead to "bloat" when the animals are fed a lot of grain.

538 was widely attacked / mocked because they gave him such high numbers. Many people were surprised by the outcome.

Also, it was clear on election night that neither Hillary nor Trump had prepared a speech for a Trump win. (Watch Trump's victory speech from election night. Hillary had to awkwardly postpone hers till morning because she didn't book the venue long enough to handle a close race.)

I suspected 538's projections were spot on because of math and stuff, but many (most?) people did not.
I'm a parent with two children living in SF (sunset) and depending on middle school lottery results we will be forced to move.

It is not that we are moving because of lifestyle, because it is expensive (yes it is), etc. The problem is: if our middle school kid ended up begin placed in middle school at other side of the town (Mission, Marina, etc.) it will theoretically impossible for us get them to and from the school.

So two things needs to be fixed and we will stay:

- public transit system and/or

- school system
I disagree with the assessment of LIGO being nothing- LIGO is the only physical confirmation of the existence of gravity waves. It did a nice job of turning something we predicted from theory into an observation that is hard to deny (it's also a tour de force of engineering and management).
Whenever you assume the innate goodness of someone overrides their natural desire to earn money, you end up with a problem. With doctors, having to legislate the gifts received from pharmaceutical companies is an obvious counterpoint to the idea that the vast majority of doctors are 100% ethical and only make choices for health reasons. Clearly a lot of them were influenced by pharma money.

> $/pupil in public school operating costs is mandated to be equal across the state

That's not accurate, a major part of Jerry Brown's education policy changes have been improved funding for title 1 schools (low income criteria - which most or all SF public schools meet) at the expense of non-title 1 schools. The measure is the Local Control Funding Formula.

You are directionally accurate in that CA law greatly reduces the ways cities can put money into the operating budgets of their school districts. However, there are plenty of ways around this, if people were strongly invested in building better schools in SF they would be using them.

The universal basic income is a bad idea whose time will never come – Quartz
I would say that predicting the chances of an asteroid hitting Earth based on looking at a crystal ball is a pretty bad prediction.

I agree with your general point. Whether a better prediction could've been made based on available data is really the key question here, and this is exactly what allows us to say that crystal ball predictions are bad.

In the context of predicting election results, I think it is fair to assume that, in principle, there should be enough available data (or an ability to collect such data) to make more accurate predictions. This also seems to be the assumption of all major polling agencies, and was also the assumption in investigating the results of Brexit polls. This is precisely where it differs from dice rolling. It therefore makes sense to assume that the predictions were inaccurate due to methodological reasons, as opposed to pollsters having no practical way of accessing the relevant data.

I'm an American expat who tries to return to the US as little as possible, primarily because of the shit I've been put through. As a US citizen, I shouldn't be submitted to invasive search after invasive search just because I had to buy a last minute ticket back to the US because a close relative either died or was close to death (seriously, my mother died less than an hour after I got there).

The way I see it, if the shit I have to go through is that bad, the stuff they put non-Americans through is probably 10 times worse, and I'm embarrassed and pissed off that "my" country treats people that way. In no way do our boarder guards represent my beliefs, values, or integrity.

You can't seriously think that US doctors want to keep their patients sick.

I'm about to move into a postwar apartment, 900sqft, in Miami. It is 250sqft smaller than my 90s built hi-rise apartment. What I noticed is the ceiling is higher and the windows are larger. It just feels like a much larger, brighter space.

I guess at some point something changed. The layout of houses in the US just lost the ability to be functional and tasteful. I did lose the walk-in closet, dual vanity sinks, gift wrapping room, and letter writing room (joking on the last 2).
It's certainly an incorrect prediction if I roll a six. You didn't simply state the odds and leave it at that, you actually made a prediction. Is it a "bad" prediction? Depends on how you're defining "good" vs. "bad" predictions. If the quality of the prediction is not based on the outcome (i.e. whether the prediction is correct), but is instead based on the odds themselves, then that's a conversation that leads to "bad but correct" predictions.
I certainly agree with your sentiment. Yet I'm unsure that even C# or C++ _by default_ builds .EXE files that can be copied onto another (same OS) machine and run successfully (for C++ this is almost always possible, but IIRC not default build behavior).

"What happened" was industry-wide standardization on dynamic-linking of prerequisite (library) code (IOW, this code stays in separate DLL files typically stored in system-global locations), leading to the need for "installer" software whose purpose (I presume; I've entirely avoided dealing with that stuff) is to ensure that all prerequisite dynamic libraries are upgraded to the minimum version needed by the SW being installed, replaces any old version(s) of the program with the new, and modifies the Windows Registry in various and sundry ways (can you say "system-global variables run amok"?). The solution which I prefer is to build static-linked .EXEs (binaries) instead of dynamic-linked. Convincing toolchains to do this is a small exercise for the reader. OBTW: I think go (golang) static-links by default.

I stopped using TAWK compiler when I discovered Lua (5.1; IMHO a substantially better language than TAWK (this is not a criticism of TAWK)). I even went so far as to commission a "Lua Compiler" for Win32 which behaved almost identically to the TAWK compiler; I used this with great success for a few years. Unfortunately it was an internal tool which I lost access to when I departed that employer.

P.S. IIRC Borland Delphi also builds static-linked EXEs by default. I wrote one Delphi 2 (Win NT 4.0 era) program whose source code I've kinda lost track of which still runs fine on Win10 x64. TAWK and Lua are more productive languages than Delphi/Pascal, and it's trivially easy to add your own C library functions to Lua (for improved performance or added functionality), so I gravitated toward an overall preference for Lua.

> Most economists no longer believe that these kinds of situations are automatically self-correcting through "trickle-down economics", in which just getting out of the way of wealth-creation at the top inevitably lifts all boats.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but did many economists ever take this idea seriously? I always thought trickle-down economics was just political rhetoric.

The UK was fine several years ago. Now (since Cameron?) they make US citizens fill out a card and give you a weirdly personal interrogation.

Yeah, Berlin is much more relaxed. Usually they just wave you through, and last time I entered the border guard gave me some friendly advice about renewing my passport and other documents.
This is ridiculous!

Some colleagues and I get back from Barcelona in December and while I didn't have any problems [1], my colleague who is Indian born, but with a green card, was questioned for 30 or so minutes. Gladly he didn't have his electronics seized but as a permanent resident of this country, one would have expected some better treatment.

American border security has been among the most draconian one since I set foot into this country in 2007 [2]. I don't have high hopes from the next 4 to 8 years either. Conferences should start moving outside of the US. I don't see a point in non-Americans wanting to vacation in the US either -- there are a lot of other great places in the world.

As soon as I got my green card, I applied for Global Entry and now don't have to interact with any border security agents on my way back into the country.

The only option if you want to succeed is to keep trying.

A while ago I went to China. After visiting Hong Kong, where I had a few friends who lived there to help me out, and the city itself is fairly westernized and friendly to foreigners, I flew directly into Xi'an.

Xi'an is where the Terra Cotta warriors are, but despite those being a fairly large tourist attraction, the city itself is very...Chinese. Very few people speak English, and for myself who had never been alone in such a foreign place before it was bewildering. I finally understood the concept of "culture shock".

I was only planning to be there for one day, and I wasted most of the morning trying to get a train ticket to Shanghai. It was getting late and I couldn't figure out how to actually get to the place where you could see the Terra Cotta warriors. I'm a naturally shy person and the idea of flagging down a stranger who didn't speak my language and trying to gesticulate and get my point across was terrifying.

Still, what it came down to, was that in all likelihood I was never going to be here again in my life. And did I really fly halfway around the frigging world just to get there and NOT go see the damn Terra Cotta warriors? There was no way I could let that happen.

So, ultimately, I just got over it, walked up to the first friendly looking person I could find, pointed to the Terra Cotta warriors section in my guidebook (where the name was written in Mandarin) and made some inquisitive noises. He ended up pointing me towards where I could catch the bus, so I got there with plenty of time to see them and make it back to catch my train.

I know as far as "adversity" goes it's pretty lame, but it was a big deal for me. What inspired me to persevere was the simple fact that, really, it was the only way to get what I wanted. That's what it comes down to. Do you want the thing you're going after more than you want to avoid the obstacles in the way? If you do, you'll keep going.
