In rural communities here in Chile, and also in smaller towns, there is an amazing solution to this called Collectivo. I had never heard of it before arriving, but man it's the greatest thing. It's something in-between a bus and a taxi: a taxi with a predefined route. So if you're on a route, which there are many, you flag down a collectivo as it passes, and since both you and the driver already know where it's going, it'll stop for you even if there are already people in the car.

What makes this amazing is that it's cheap because the route is pre-set, and it's shared, and the driver can just go all day knowing there will be people along the route, and doesn't have to finish one ride before starting another. But meanwhile they'll generally go partially off their route if you request it, and it's not too much of a bother.

Why don't North American rural areas do this? It's a really great way to get around, and makes it so you can live (or at least visit) in rural areas without owning a car.
In America, my only need for cash is to leave tips for the hotel maid. But those amounts are $1 bills and the ATM machine only spits out $20. So every 2 or 3 months, I write a check for $100 (payee is "cash"), give it to the teller and she gives me back a stack of one-dollar bills. If I stay at a corporate apartment, I don't even need the $1 bills.

That bank interaction is obviously too cumbersome to withdraw $80+ every week to pay cash for taxis. If all taxis refused to take credit card then yes, I'd have to use the ATM on a regular basis.

You're right that cashless was only possible recently.
Even though credit-cards had been around for 50+ years, most people couldn't go 100% cashless because many places like McDonald's fast food only took cash. Those restaurants avoided credit transactions because having customers wait for the charge receipt and then sign their name clogged up the queue with impatient people. However, a recent revolution in payment processing allowed "no signature" transactions for small amounts under a threshold (say $20). The "no signature" includes not having to electronically sign the touch pad -- it isn't just avoiding paper and pen. With that change, McDonald's started accepting credit cards in 2002. People also might notice that when they pay by credit card at Starbucks, they don't have to sign anything. Credit transactions are now so fast, the situation is reversed: cashiers take longer to count out exact change for cash transactions than let customers pay by credit card!

The "no sign" revolution helped make lots of the "cash only" places disappear so now it's very easy to be credit-card only.

You realize that USB ports aren't always "up & down". Sometimes they're sideways. Sometimes they're reversed.

As someone with a USB C phone who is trying to convert all my devices to it: reversibility is far from a necessity, I did just fine for years with USB B on my phones, but it is extremely nice to not have to even think about direction. And now, it is noticeably annoying when I have to use MicroUSB.

> AMD has been lagging behind for a long while on Linux because of its drivers situation and the overall poor performance of its GPU on Linux. 2016 marked the release of the AMD RX480 card, at a good price point (around 200 USD) and good relative performance thanks to improved Linux open source drivers. It is still not on par with what nVidia offers, but it’s getting closer and closer. Now you could buy an AMD card and expect to play games with very decent performance. Note that Vulkan may be performing even better (at least on Dota 2) this particular AMD card than on similarly priced nVidia cards.

I'm sick of reading crap like this. I got a new computer with an rx480 a month ago and I've had nothing but frustration with it. After trying several distros, the only one that could display at 1920x1080 was arch. It can play games because the screen blanks after 5 minutes and you have to do a hard reset. Sound doesn't work through HDMI, apparently there is a patch floating around somewhere but compiling kernels is not my hobby.

And that's just the graphics card, overall the linux desktop experience has regressed badly in the last 10 years.
I don't know if he is considered a developer, but I think Justin Jackson has some awesome startup advice (for developers). He follows others closely and draws from their experiences as well.

There are two things that I commonly see:
1. You have to fail in your first startup to understand.
2. Just because you had that experience doesn't mean the same person will

I don't fully agree. The fact is, you can always take heed of advice from ANYONE who has run a startup, gained experience, knows what works and what doesn't; and feel pretty confident that those people know what they are talking about.

When it comes to startup.. no need to jump right in and fail like so many others. There are plenty of things you can do in order to NOT fail... and that is.. following the advice of others who have failed, maybe still failing, and found even some hint of successes.

His website deserves a visit and a few reads.. just randomly choose some articles with good headlines: https://justinjackson.ca

He'll pull you right in. Sounds like a great guy who is just trying to make his own living to support his family while creating financial freedom away from the mundane workplace, while also helping others.

In any case, while the fact that they shared my info was annoying, it also wasn't the point I was getting at. My point was: they chose to lump themselves in with unrelated left-wing causes by sharing my data, and I'm unhappy they chose to make civil liberties seem like a left/right thing by doing that.
s/paranoia/cynicism/ and you explain everything that's wrong with the current political atmosphere. And why it's not going to get any better. If you have no trust in government, nor even any faith that a non-corrupt, functioning government is a practical possibility, then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. We're spiraling toward the state of affairs in Russia and Venezuela.

People don't see widespread government surveillance as a policy failure which requires increasing one's civic participation. They see it as a validation and even vindication of their cynical view of government. The problem with the latter is that it excuses them from doing anything about it. Worse, it excuses them for voting for "anti-government" politicians. Chavez was and Putin still is radically anti-government. That's basically like 80% of their political messaging.

> You sure about that? Right now, consulting companies spam the lottery with shitty jobs. With the new system favoring quality $130k+ jobs there will be a bigger supply of good H1Bs to compete with.

The supply is artificially set by law. The fact that they will cost $130K instead of whatever it was before will make it much easier for me to compete with them.

It might also make it economically feasible for US companies to hire US workers who might not have all of the needed skills, and train them. That works for me.
Airbnb has not won.. yet.

In my city of Bend, Oregon we have an terribly crafted law that treats you like a big business if you want to rent out your house more than 30 days out of the year.

Airbnb hasn't been able to fight any of these absurd laws in small towns.

Uber/Lyft have had a lot of pushback from Taxi companies and poorly written regulations.

Its not over until Airbnb can compete with hotels and Uber/Lyft drivers can compete with taxi companies.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for regulations. The problem is when laws are written to beat down the little guy in favor of large established organizations.

There's coffee vending machines that can do lattes and cappuccinos. The robot arm is a waste of time, especially since the coffee machine just does all the work anyway.

I blame the grandparent post by eevilspock for loading the question.

I don't think it can even be answered with that assumption included. Let's say you have a cobbler, who makes shoes. He recently lost his job to the burgomeister's new Elfbot 4000, that can make the same quality of shoe, but turns out 2 dozen pairs in a single night.

The Elfbot 4k runs all week on a single saucer of milk, without sleeping. The cobbler has to eat 2000 kcal every day, and sleep 8h every night. It is completely obvious that the cobbler can no longer compete in the shoe market with the Elfbot. The value of the cobbler's one marketable skill has been devastated by automation. So the cobbler cannot raise enough money from selling shoes to buy the Elfbot. No matter how hard the cobbler works, his productive output cannot reach a level high enough to equal the value of the Elfbot.

So the cobbler would have to get the money from somewhere else. But the burgomeister is the richest man in town, and the only one with enough money to lend out. Why would he give a loan to the cobbler, to buy the robot, whose production would be used to pay off the loan, when he could just sell the production and get the money without that source of default risk?

So the cobbler could also just steal the Elfbot. But if Elfbots could just be stolen willy-nilly, no one would bother keeping one. The burgomeister would obviously have to defend his property against one-man robberies.

That leaves a torch-and-pitchfork rebellion. After that happens, no one bothers bringing new machines to the village, because they don't want to lose their property.

Or the cobbler could study the machine, and build his own, if it can be done cheaply enough. Unfortunately for him, the burgomeister has a patent, which equates copying with theft.

The only way for the cobbler to own an Elfbot is if he is the first to build one. And that just puts all the other cobblers in his shoes for the above scenarios.

The displaced workers just can't get the capital in a capitalist society through the use of their obsoleted skill, and the capital is not created as quickly or as easily in a non-capitalist society. They would have to acquire a different marketable skill to be able to afford one, but once they have that skill, they no longer have any specific connection to or need for that particular machine. If the cobbler becomes an expert in specialty candle marketing, and makes a pile of cash, he no longer has any need to own the Elfbot. He could buy the Dribbler Deluxe instead.

I suppose I'm thinking of something like ASP.NET `ContentPlaceHolder`, where you create some layout and identify holes into which the content will be placed. Except that, unlike ASP.NET and HTML, only layout elements would be permitted? This would likely be an entirely new language -- thinking of it like HTML except without text doesn't really work. Think of it more like defining panes on the screen, and the content (like HTML) is injected into those defined panes.

How the panes are laid out could be accomplished through any number of methods. Absolute, flow, flex, grid, constraint solving... Or even parent panes using different methods for their sub-panes!

The point isn't to flatten the layout. The layout can be as complex as desired. The point is to remove content from the layout; a named mapping is just an easy way to associate content to layout panes for injection.
Did anyone manage to grab a screenshot? Looks like it's been rolled back. No mention of 2FA anywhere.
Literally the only comments I see about Apple being doomed are from people making the claim that people are saying Apple is doomed.
> It's simple economics. H1B's increase the supply of developers in the US, relative to the demand. And that drives the price of developers (i.e. wages) down. I don't think any intelligent person can fail to understand that.

The simple economics you are quoting will argue against protectionism. Even hypothetically assuming it will increase wages it will in turn make it costly to innovate and increase the cost of services for average American consumer.

If Citibank charges $25 monthly fee they might have to charge $30 to make the same money. That generally hurts American consumer just the way American protectionism towards Steel and Sugar industry hurts American consumers while benefiting special interest groups.

For those of us who have taken Econ 101 can tell you that this is even worse for resources such as human mind. The marginal impact on salaries with every additional H1B US taken in next to 0 simply because Job at higher end are not zero sum game. Each extra person helps grow the pie significantly this increasing the salaries even further.

For low value jobs such as a gardener, a cheaper labor will replace the expensive one because having two gardeners does not increase the productivity of the employer by 2X. But for high-end jobs such as say a Doctor, having many doctors would mean more drugs, faster solution to diabetes and cancer.
