If "Substantial contributions to the conception ... of the work" is enough to be a co-author, she should be a co-author.

That seems too generous to PHB.
You know we had hospitals, housing assistance and food assistance before the personal income tax right? A personal income tax is just one way we fund gov services, there are plenty of other options that don't require a gun to the head.

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming have no state level personal income tax.

“Depending on the application, it may be a wonderful feature that a drunk person cannot authenticate into a system after they have had too many drinks,” Chuang says.
Well, there's two issues. (Two I can think of, anyways, there may be more.) One is that without universal insurance via a single-payer system, there will be people who aren't insured and can't afford preventative services. So, single payer solves that problem.

The other problem is that in a fee-for-service model, health care providers get paid a lot more for major procedures than minor ones, and they may get paid again to fix any complications that arise. So, there isn't a good incentive structure to reward fixing problems quickly and cheaply. Whether single payer fixes that problem will depend on how it's implemented. (I think there was an experiment done awhile back where Medicare stopped reimbursing hospitals for patients who were re-admitted due to infections following surgery. The result was rate of surgery complications went down.)

I kind of wonder if maybe there should be a bounty program for fixing minor problems before they turn into major problems. Just this last week, I had an adenoma removed from my colon. I haven't seen the bill yet, but it was a pretty routine, minor procedure. If I hadn't had it removed, it would have probably become cancerous within the next year or two (according to the doctor that removed it), and if it were any bigger it might have required a much more invasive procedure to remove. So, fixing it now saves a whole lot of medical expenses down the road and saves me a whole lot of unpleasant experiences. It seems kind of a shame that the doctor who removed my adenoma isn't rewarded (except in the knowledge of a job well done) for that.

You're not paying attention. They're talking about access to insurance. Sure, I have access to a private Gulfstream jet, but that doesn't mean I can afford it.

Other so-called "identities" are truly irrelevant in this context.

> Now all my users are going to hear that my site is insecure, when nothing at all changed.

You're being pretty irresponsible if you aren't using SSL for passwords. You users should be told that your site is insecure, because it is. You should care more about the security of your users.

If your hosting does not allow SSL, you have an obligation to change hosts for the safety of your users. If you aren't willing to do that, you're negligent and you should stop doing business with the public.

This is a huge red flag. If you really don't think SSL is important, it raises disturbing questions about your approach to security in general. Which other standard security practices have you ignored? Are you using strong hashing for passwords? Are you properly handling input to prevent SQL injection?

This is one of the main theories as to why Trump was successful in the US. The US economy can't properly support it's workforce fully. The Democrats offered social safety net. The Republicans offered tax cuts and deregulation to the business owners. Neither solved the underlying problem that the US economy can't properly support the workforce.

People want an honest day's pay for an honest day's work as they have for millennia. Pride in honest, good work is important to the vast majority of people, especially in the US.
Hotly debated subject these days.

I personally learned programming on my own, and after about two years of doing it, I went back and started taking some computer science courses in data structures, discrete mathematics, algorithms as well as some other topics. I took some coursework through the University I got my undergrad from but most through local community colleges because they were 1/10th of the cost.

In my experience, I do not think you need a degree to be a programmer. You need to have extreme grit and motivation to learn it on your own.

I took the coursework after doing it because trying to learn advanced computer science topics on top of work in my own time simply wasn't working. It's not incredibly fun to learn, dissect and implement algorithms. At least for me it wasn't. Having no one to ask about advanced mathematics also sucked honestly. For those reasons, a quality education or professor is worth their weight in gold.
This is such a dumb idea on google's part (and mozilla's) because people are now going to program dumb workarounds for this.

I have pointed out to Ken Moore that they can marry s6 with OpenRC. I've also offered my experience with things like getting PCDM running under proper service mangement, which is one of the many things that I have already done. I've also already been through all of the fun with the interdependencies between devd and the Mewburn rc system, and can offer experience of that, too. I have had per-user service managers running on TrueOS/PC-BSD for over a year, as well, and already have the per-user Desktop Bus stuff that is coming down the pipeline from the Desktop Bus people.

"Junior" and "optimize c++" just do not typically go together. Even more so if you're talking about deep optimizations like cache hit misses, and not just algorithm decisions or breaking down problems properly.

> From a business point of view, suddenly everyone has an extra $1000.

It's not "suddenly everyone has an extra $1000", it's "suddenly the average person with insurance is sicker". It's like what happens if you want to buy fire insurance in an area with a higher incidence of wildfires. The reason insurance costs more there isn't inflation.

> They were buying stuff from you until now, there's no reason not to try to drive the price up to see how much more you can charge now.

Except that you have competitors who are happy to take all your business by selling at the existing price which is already profitable.

> So if literally everyone has an extra $1000, nobody has an extra $1000.

If literally everyone has an extra $1000 then you must have printed the money, which isn't what anyone is proposing.

And even then is still not true, because printing $1000 for each person is still wealth redistribution from creditors to debtors.

Do you? Or, does it need to be someone other than yourself? I write for its own sake, because I enjoy it. I don't publish it anywhere. I make art, and just hang it on my own walls.

I've often wondered about that. In fact, I've come up with an utterly
ridiculous theory to explain it, which is total bull but quite entertaining,
so here goes:

My theory, let's call it Automobile Honest Aposematism theory (AHA), in short,
posits that market forces compell car manufacturers to honestly signal the
quality of their cars with the cars' design and colouring, or risk financial
punishment meted by disappointed consumers.

In short, producing a cheap-o car that looks like a Ferrari would cause
consumers to punish the car maker responsible, obviously by not buying their
product, but also these days by ridiculing the cheap fascimile in social media
etc.

In the animal world, it is understood that signalling of various attributes
(aggression, mating fitness etc) is predominantly honest, despite the obvious
advantages of false signalling, and there is work suggesting that this honesty
is maintained by punishment [1] [2] [3] (but note [5]).

There is also an alternative interpretation of AHA, the Handicap Alternative
to AHA (HA-AHA) which posits that sports' cars' design is an example of the
Handicap Principle [4], according to which high-cost singalling is only affordable
by the truly fit, or in other words, you'll only be flash with your car
designs and colours if you can afford to be flash.

The two interpretations are not necessarily competing: selling a cheap car for
a lot of money to cover the high cost of its high-quality, but dishonest,
signalling will very likely incur a harsh punishment by market forces.

And, er. That's AHA in a nutshell :)

Sure, but before then it's stored. And if trees are constantly creating new biomass, you've perpetually buffered an amount of carbon equal to (annual production x time variable). The first variable is limited by the thermodynamics of sunlight, so do what you can to approach that limit. Then the main target of innovation becomes, what forest management techniques can maximize that time variable?

By default about half of a tree's absorbed carbon is injected into the ground to build soil, as root mass and root exudates. Plus trees drop mulch -- mainly leaves. Soil carbon is only released when the soil is destroyed or eroded away. So... don't do that. :)
I just simply dont agree. I'd be perfectly happy to do what I pleased everyday if I could. I'm not a huge fan of having to meet deadlines or any of the many little tasks that come with having to work.

It feels ambitious to suppose an equilibrium state for schooling to be met within a year. I'd buy two or three.

Is it the case that existing private schools have much excess capacity? Frequently the argument for private schools is smaller class sizes; a rapid influx of new students without new, excellent teachers defeats the purpose. Presumably new classrooms would need to be constructed and so on.

If you receive a $5,000 voucher and your private school jacks up tuition by let's say $1,000, it is unlikely many parents are going to disrupt their routines and children's routines to reclaim that amount, especially since they are feeling relief from a net $4K tuition break. Tuition has effectively decreased, so why rock the boat?
An AI-driven assistant doesn't have to necessarily run on someone else's servers and be under their control to be useful. In fact, if I teach my assistant patterns like how when I say "David" I mean David O, then I don't see a) why this type of learning can't be fully localized, or b) how phoning home with this kind of data is going to be of any particular use to anybody else, anyway.

To put it another way, what's wrong with letting my Siri and your Siri just be two different "people" instead of feeding back into a single, networked hivemind?
A lot of people buy Mazda MX-5s. They can carry speed through corners pretty well, but aren't really fast by other metrics even compared to other cars in the same price class. The first couple generations were slower to accelerate than many midrange cars with essentially no sporting pretensions.

The MX-5 is fun though. It feels good to drive it at a moderately spirited pace. Several attempts to compete with it have won hands down in every significant performance metric, yet failed in the marketplace because they just didn't feel as good to drive.

UBI combined with single payer health care and a removal of the minimum wage addresses this problem. It's called "basic" for a reason; the idea is that people will continue to supplement it with work that they find enriching and rewarding.

Whole new sorts of currently "worthless" work become possible when not shackled by a minimum wage.

I'm personally in favour of Cloudflare as the simplest solution - even simpler than letsencrypt. However - there are a few caveats. They tend to hit some countries with a Captcha unless you disable it. Might not be an issue. Their "Flexible SSL is controversial as it only encrypts from client to them - not from them to the server. Personally I think this covers the most obvious threat models and is probably "good enough" for the a lot of use cases.

I don't think that fossil fuel is the only way to bootstrap up to a high-energy, high-complexity civilization. Hydroelectric generation also yields the sort of dependable, concentrated energy source you need for industrial development, and it was first built with 19th century technology. The necessary 19th century precursor technologies (steel, concrete, wire...) could be manufactured with wood instead of coal. Reservoir-backed hydroelectric dams can also serve, effectively, as a giant battery when you start trying to introduce more abundant but less steady energy sources like wind and solar.

The global potential of energy from hydroelectricity is only a small fraction of our current fossil-based consumption, though. And while wind and solar have potential resources far past fossil power, they can't expand as fast as fossils did historically. So the Fermi Paradox aspect might be that civilizations without fossils and without the self-control to limit reproduction are hobbled by cycles of Malthusian collapse. Or perhaps space-capable civilizations that didn't fall into the Malthusian boom-bust trap while still confined to one planet also don't go crazy with growth once they escape their gravity well, so they're out there but not leaving evidence dramatic enough to be seen by our current telescopes.
Supply for food would increase. Because resources are being taken away from rich people and given to poor people.

Maybe I did misunderstand. In that case I would think that buying locally raised, organic, grass-fed beef would be a more comparable alternative than wild salmon (Though neither is sustainable enough to replace the current levels of beef consumption for everyone).
