> You can start by proving this. How are "we definitely afraid"

Riling people up to "build a wall". Language about immigrants coming in to rape our children, steal our jobs, etc. I don't know what part of the US you're well-travelled in, but much of the Trump rhetoric of last summer struck a nerve with many folks in my area. Now, they're not chanting in the streets and burning effigies, but they mostly are "afraid" of different folks ('afraid' or 'disdainful' of).

I can't "prove" this anymore than you can "prove" it doesn't exist, but these attitudes are not a statistical aberration in my circles.

> I said within and outside of the US as a suggestion that I've met many people and that my view isn't representative of a 10km radius.

But... if you're someone who's travelled around a lot - say, outside the US (which you seem to imply), you are definitely in a minority. There are only around 100m US citizens who have passports at all. If you've travelled internationally, you're in a minority.

If you were trying to make some other point, maybe be more specific. But your initial rebuttal that you "disagree", presumably because you're "well travelled"... base your disagreement on something which connects you with a majority of the public (and there very well may be ways to do that, but "I'm well travelled" already disconnects your experiences from a majority of your countrymen, assuming you're a US citizen).

Also, I don't think you can "libel" a population. You can say libelous things about a person ("a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation") but not a large group. My only experience of the word over the past several decades is in cases involving an individual (or individual entity in some cases). You might write libelous things about Bill Gate, or possibly even Microsoft, but not "the computer industry" or "business".
There are still obstacles that prevent someone from switching - lack of Free alternatives to software used in their working environments, lack of knowledge about the existing alternatives, even the lack of understanding of the difference between Free and non-Free software.

My friend is a Ferrari mechanic and he says the panel gap and fitment is atrocious, he claims that part of the construction is mostly done by unskilled labor. The money, time, and care go into the design, suspension, engine, interior, etc. He has a lot of stories about large panel gaps, off-center screw holes on body panels, terrible fitment and lots of refurbishing needed even with a brand-new Ferrari.
I particularly like the way they don't put an earnings scale on the second graph to show that it implies everyone earning more than about $40k per year has less money than before.

Now try telling someone on $50k in the Bay Area that their net tax increase is mostly going to go to people not receiving any welfare at the moment, most probably because they don't actually need the money enough to even think of registering as looking for work...

Even if you somehow converted the gasses of Saturn into solids, the mass would result in a level of gravity that would not be survivable. I don't think there's any possibility for colonizing gas giants that doesn't involve something like Bespin or Jetsons floating platforms.

You started this thread with "And yet there are enough politicians who reject even those statistics, and that seems like a totally different category of stupidity".

Now you say "I think you are wrong to bring politics into this".

This entire subthread was about politicians' use of this statistic. I've mentioned several times now that the disagreement over the statistic is a disagreement over its use by politicians, not over the accuracy of recording the statistic, and you continue to sidestep this. If that's not trolling, I don't know what is.
What's most shocking is this just happened to system administrators. Adjusted for inflation, people are now making half what people made in 2000 doing the same basic job of running a few servers at a small office.

Ok, "optimize" might be an overstatement in this case. More like "write code that's not totally oblivious to how compiler will compile it, and how CPU will execute it". A reasonable request for a software professional with a degree, one would hope.

American here: I got grilled at the Canadian border because I'm an IT Worker. They were concerned over the period of a weekend I'd violate NAFTA.

"The East Bay" is extremely large, so this question cannot be answered. I am raising children in north Oakland, near Berkeley. I think the combination of those two cities offers me what I want: enough interesting urban amenities, sufficient transit system, plenty of other kids for my kids to play with, and enough open space.

But as I said the east bay runs practically all the way to Tracy, so no one answer can suffice.

> Look at it this way: 'mjolk' could be well travelled within the United States and have a very good idea of Americans sentiments.

fair point - hadn't considered that angle.

And yes, being in the minority doesn't necessarily make you right or wrong. Being "well-travelled" still strikes me as being tied in with a degree of wealth/power/autonomy that the average person doesn't have, and it may be harder to truly understand the 'average' citizen when you're in a position to travel (internally and internationally?), which most people aren't. Much like I think it's pretty hard for most multi-millionaires (especially 2nd and 3rd generational ones) to represent my interests or understand my real concerns in elected offices.
Thanks for replying! When I had the Avaya phone, in most all locations & conditions, if there was decent (e.g. a non-tech person's home in latin america, an apartment in London, a residential cable modem in turkey) - the call was crystal clear. Meanwhile, Skype, Google Voice, Viber, and even WebEx sounded cloudy. I always wanted to know what the "secret sauce" was that allowed this device (or the company-hosted server behind it) to have this quality.

Regarding Ooma, I have the portable handset here: http://www.ooma.com/telo/

And I bought the headset (which connects to the base station as another phone, rather TO the phone. The process to simply dial a number and use the headset is comically complicated to "join" the calls...)

If you have any specific advice for this setup, I'd be appreciative. Likewise, if you have other recommendations for solutions, I'm all ears. Thanks again!

I believe basic human nature includes curiosity. Living in a society means one will naturally seek the appreciation, acceptance and respect of their peers.
I think these alone will eventually lead most people to contribute something useful to our world one way or another.

Mentally and/or physically exhausted after a long day of performing a meaningless job, or unable to get one and living off welfare, despised by the rest of society, no wonder one tries to escape reality by playing video games or watching tv excessively. Actually, escaping into 'work' is no more healthy.

But when everyone enjoys the security of having their basic physiological needs satisfied by default and not knowing what the hell you're supposed to do is a feeling widely shared and accepted by society, the situation is completely different. It's an enormous community building force.
Additionally, we could build or designate community places and workshops where people get together to converse, build, play, create, cooperate to further help everyone find a direction, or find themselves.
Ug, you don't get it.

The resources that are being spent on luxury goods will be converted to resources spent on food.

That's called economics 101. Supply and demand. If you take money away from rich people, they will have less money to spend on rich people things, and the world will produce less of those things.
When I was 3 years old, my dad bought a brand new house in a brand new suburb. It was 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, etc. For its era, it was a very solidly middle class or upper middle class house and he had 3/4 of the price of the house in the bank. The house cost $16k. He had $12k in the bank. It was a LOT of money when I was 3 years old. It is not a lot of money today.

A $1000/month sounds like a lot now. But the minute you issue UBI, it will spur inflation and the value of that $1000 will immediately be less than it is now. This is a problem faced by every single welfare or aid program the world over: It takes no time for whatever figures you came up with to be out of date and for your program to not be accomplishing its intended goals.

I have written about this before (for example: http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2015/09/it-was-obsol...) and I expect to write about this more. The UBI is a bad solution to the problem. We have faced this problem before in the form of the Industrial Revolution and we invented the 40 hour work week. It helped distribute work more fairly. We need similar solutions today. Turning most people into sheeple and charity cases merely because they are not rich is a terrible, terrible idea.
Dating Big or Skinny Women?
Yes, it's really powerful. Back in the days before kids when I rode to work, I never allowed myself to even ask whether today I was riding to work or catching the bus. Instead, I just bought an awesome riding jacket and just rode EVERY SINGLE DAY. Rain, hail or shine I simply rode - plenty of times I was the only cyclist pedalling away during some ridiculously torrential rain. I even told my wife to stop asking if I wanted a lift, because I didn't even want that option to enter my mind.
I've got some ad copy ready for you if you decide to produce one:

Agreed, another often overlooked part of renewable energy is the renewable part. Where coal requires people to get up and go to work every morning to dig up more because the power plants burn through it, renewables do not. Once a solar field has been established it does not need the majority of the workers any more, it has a functional life measured in decades.

While in the beginning many jobs will be available, once the fields are established go away. Then those same people who retrained to be solar panel installers are either too old or to emotionally devastated to soldier on to another replacable skill set.

Exactly. My understanding of the push towards HTTPS by Google is that they control the websites more than they control the connectivity, so they want to make sure that ISPs can only aspire to be substitutable intermediaries between users and websites. Putting everything in HTTPS makes traffic opaque to ISPs.
Oh, awesome.

I'm planning to go visit my business partner in Texas in October, now I'm having serious doubts about the whole trip. (I am dual nationality, Hungarian and Romanian and I have a Hungarian passport which, theoretically, allows me to enter under the Visa Waiver program). By the way, I always travel with my Hungarian passport, because people at the border DO treat you differently. If you're on Romanian papers, you face way more harassment, more waiting and in general it's a lot more of a struggle.

I find it incredibly obnoxious that the only who are affected by this entire BS are the people who, I'm quite sure, are not planning to do acts of terrorism, in fact, has anyone noticed that the ones who do are the only ones this sht never managed to stop?

Btw, travelling within the EU has gotten a bit more annoying, too. When I left the UK at the beginning of April, last year, I pretty much got through without any issues, they haven't even bothered to look at my passport. I've not been searched, harassed, stolen from by border officials, etc., however in November, I've harassed, scanned, made to take my shoes off (your poison, brother), scanned to sht, and to top it off, the agent who was scanning my backpack stole out of it (2 PS4 video games, worth 20 quid, really?).

I'm planning trips to US, Germany, Austria, Ukraine and France this year, however based on experience from last year and now this, I'm pretty much questioning if I should by now.

I would've wanted to bring some of my photography equipment with me on these trips, so how risky would you think it would be to travel (for example to the US), if I had a mirrorless camera on me (Sony A6000), two batteries, 5 lenses, a tripod, a 13" laptop and two phones (always prefer to have a backup while traveling abroad)?

Background info: I have no convictions, I don't do drugs, I haven't been arrested, I don't attend security conferences and in fact, I'm generally a nobody.

> - Stop and Frisk laws disproportionately target people of color, not to mention it's unconstitutional ( http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonoberholtzer/2012/07/17/stop.... )

Or "stop and frisk" took place in areas with higher crime rates, where, coincidentally, non-white people live in higher density. Weird how you didn't want to address the disproportionate rates of crime by race, which I think is closer to the root of the problem, no matter how uncomfortable it is to talk about.

> - Punishment for crack-cocaine (mainly black users) was 10x worse than powder cocaine (mainly rich, white users), even though it's the same drug.

This statement gets paraded around a lot. The idea is strict penalties to discourage use, which is why crack-cocaine sentencing converges with that of methamphetamine (predominantly "white" drug). Whereas crack-cocaine decimated predominantly minority-inhabited areas of major US cities, would you have preferred for the response to be weaker?

> - North Carolina basically admitted to creating laws to stop black voters from voting ( http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/07/north-ca.... )

Per article: "...a requirement that voters show photo identification to vote and restored same-day voter registration, a week of early voting, pre-registration for teenagers, and out-of-precinct voting."

There's nothing intrinsic in someone's skin color or ethnic background that would cause someone to not have a valid ID -- and under a democratic leadership, the ruling party will do everything in its power to make sure the votes continue going in their favor. It's not racist or xenophobic to want a voter of a district to prove he or she is from that district.

I don't know much about North Carolina and maybe they're terrible racists, but I still plainly reject that America is by-majority racist or xenophobic.

> Hell, I live in Silicon Valley and I see racism every day...I can go on and on. No matter how "well-traveled" you think you are, perhaps you weren't hanging out with the people who are being oppressed. They are speaking out pretty much constantly now, if you choose to listen.

We're just trading anecdotes, so my statement of experience that I haven't seen it disproportionately affect non-white people is on even footing with your assertion of seeing it "every day". Maybe I'm being sensitive, but it seems like you're trying to suggest that I don't "listen" or that I have major misconceptions about my world experiences, which is a weirdly casual thing and vaguely insulting.

> My Facebook friends post some seriously gnarly memes sometimes, so bad that sometimes I even wonder if they even realize they are being racist.

It's possible that you see racism every day because you associate with racists. I don't socialize with people that have exposed themselves as racists (because I find them ridiculous and small), which might explain the differences in our perceptions.
so you are advocating for eugenics?

although you may have read in some headlines that autism is 'on the rise' and there are an increasing number of diagnoses, I think this is a misinterpretation.

statistics looks like it's on the rise because 50 years ago we didn't know what autism was, and instead we gave diagnosis like 'idiot' and 'imbecile'.

I don't think it's a stretch to say society has always had autists, maybe rather than trying to understand why autism happens energy would be better spent in trying to understand autistic individuals.

If I had basic income, I would go back to study, get a PhD in Computer Science Majoring in AI/Machine learning and then I would try to do something meaningful with it. I am tired of doing pseudo-intellectual software 'engineering' tasks - I would like to use my intellect to tackle difficult problems instead of trivial problems like building UI components and managing databases. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go to back to uni right now.

I think that there are a lot of people in my position who are desperate for basic income. From a societal point of view, innovation would move quicker if people had more time to invest in themselves.

Unfortunately for me, right now, I just have two options if I want to buy myself some time to study:

- Hope that one of the startups I work/worked for gets a big exit and that I can cash in and fund my studies.

- Wait for retirement age before going back to uni (and hope that my brain still works OK at that age).
That last one is literally the one thing that gets me out of bad some days: "Was I made for lying warm in bed under a pile of blankets?"
Then don't do that. Take the money away from someone else, with taxes.
Yeah I kinda get that feel as well. The thing that makes me suspicious is the amount of unnecessary and obfuscating jargon that gets thrown about. They've even invented new jargon to replace perfectly confusing old jargon (e.g. your model's "error residual" is now your "function cost"). I've spent the past couple of weeks doing a bit of ML vision stuff. Most of the terminology was lost on me, at least until today when I discovered "Machine Learning is Fun": https://medium.com/@ageitgey/machine-learning-is-fun-80ea3ec...

I think I learned more in an hour than I did in the past week, thanks to this series. The author actually bothers to explain concepts (that turn out to be fairly simple btw) like 'gradient descent'. Highly recommended read if you have the time and interest. Just to whet your appetite:

...current machine learning algorithms aren’t that good yet — they only work when focused a very specific, limited problem. Maybe a better definition for “learning” in this case is “figuring out an equation to solve a specific problem based on some example data”.

Unfortunately “Machine Figuring out an equation to solve a specific problem based on some example data” isn’t really a great name. So we ended up with “Machine Learning” instead.
