I'm mostly tired of reading all the self-driving hype by now- I know it's coming and its gonna be great. But I had never thought about the ramifications for police forces before! I think a decent amount of government revenue will be lost and not as many officers required nationwide. Most people's only crimes end up being driving-related. And many arrests start with being pulled over too- dui's, drug possession, outstanding warrant etc.

It's amazing how many people I know who have subscribed to the WaPo in the last 12 months. I know, I know - echo chamber - but it gives me great hope that quality news organizations have a future. If executed properly, most people are willing to pay for quality content (side note: a major pet peeve of mine is when you pay for a subscription and are then bombarded with obnoxious pop-up ads whenever you try to access said paid content online).

I've been a long-term WSJ subscriber and recently switched to the digital-only subscription due to the quality of their tablet app, but it remains a guilty pleasure of mine to buy up a selection of hard copy newspapers on a rainy weekend and lock myself away for hours.
Actually it is ridiculous. Why were public funds spent on giving someone advanced education to drive around? Is there nothing better society can do with such skills?
True, problem solving books would teach how to approach problmems but not the language itself.
They check. Especially the closer you get to home.

Try to schedule a meeting out of district (city, county, state, fed). Even when you're lobbying on an issue they care about (a bill they cosponsored), you'll probably need a local with you to even get on their calendar. When you're out of district, you might get an automated "contact your own rep" reply, if you're lucky.

For hot issues, as you say, it's just triage.

Actually, it's all triage. Legislating is an information processing problem with attention being the scarcest commodity.

If they lower the price they might not get more subscribers. So they are pricing it to maximize revenue.
Aside from the deductible, most insurance plans in the US cover only a percentage of costs. 80 or 90 percent is common. For a single, simple, surgery it's bearable. Something like cancer, with ct scans, chemo, radiation, surgery with a 1 week hospital stay, etc...can bankrupt you.
In other states it's more like $400 per month for the cheapest, $5k annual deductible insurance.

Keep in mind that many people would be bankrupted by a $5k expense.

It absolutely is not ridiculous on Google's part.

You're making some other point.
"However, all it takes is one savvy baker to recognize he or she could raise the prices just a little lower than everyone else, enough for people to start preferring their shop instead of the competition."

This doesn't take the free market into account. The reason the baker is forced to raise their prices is because when everyone is getting the same amount of money, they will be unwilling to work for a wage that is lower than it.

So, in addition to the employees at the bakery now requiring a higher wage, all of the people along the supply chain of the baked goods (eggs, milk, flour, etc) will also see a boost in pay (and the costs will be pushed down to the chain until it reaches the consumer).

If the baker doesn't increase prices, they will quickly go out of business.

"Which is the exact same price point as before[0], and doesn’t depend on the purchasing power of the consumers (that is, it’s not tied to how much money people have)"

Another problem is that UBI is coming directly out of the pockets of those same bakery owners. The boost in taxes will just mean another boost in consumer prices.

"Since it is not in the universities’ interest to increase number of students, increasing the money supply for the prospective students with student loans meant that students were now able to pay more for the same thing and that universities could simply increase the tuition fee[1]. Increasing the money supply to students via UBI would have the same effect."

Universities are basically getting welfare. The cash goes directly from the government to the university. They don't really care how the student actually pays it back and also know that it can't be declared in a bankruptcy.

The result is ridiculous prices, universities getting rich, and students being in debt for decades. It would be better to take student loans out of the equation completely. We would have a more even playing field because universities wouldn't be able to charge those ridiculous prices and be forced to lower tuition costs. They also wouldn't be getting a guaranteed income stream and would have to work much harder to keep students.

We have the same problem with healthcare. Because insurance companies are paying the costs directly, the hospitals can charge $150 for a bottle of Aspirin and the patient only sees the cost after it was covered.

If you take insurance companies out, costs will go way down because hospitals will actually have to charge the real free market rates instead of the controlled market we have now.

Government controlled markets, while sounds great in theory, usually means the consumer suffers.
I'm curious about who read w3c standards, even on HN. I don't. Even MDN (which I consider as fork of w3c for humans) can be quite confusing so let's not judge people on this.

Examples like that are parsable because they are similar to what we would call, in programming, tail recursion (i.e., recursion that doesn't really need recursion). It's true that you can embed an infinite number of subsentences ("John, my friend from high school, who married your cousin, Mary, who had an affair with the bartender, Jack, who hated his sister, Lisa, who was a fan of Lady Gaga, is coming over for dinner") but you only need two "stack frames", one to remember John and the other for the rest.

The middle part is basically equivalent to saying "Mary had an affair with the bartender, Jack. Jack hated his sister, Lisa. Lisa was a fan of Lady Gaga". My intuition is that it's parsed basically as separate sentences. Once you finish one of them you can just forget it, you only need to remember John (as there is more information about him in the end). Sentences where you need to remember more elements (i.e., you actually need unbounded recursion) become unparsable in real time as my previous example.

Of course, I don't have scientific evidence to back the things I'm saying, it's just intuition, but the same can be said of the Chomskyan theories.

Most people aren't aware of what they are missing and how it could bring a great deal of benefit.

This isn't about NFSv4 (the filesystem), it's about the rich permissions model it standardised which is now used by more than just NFS. It's used by ZFS, and it's used by the FreeBSD and Solaris VFS, and likely others as well. It's the only rich ACL model in real use today on open platforms, and being a superset of both POSIX.1e DRAFT and Windows ACLs, it's needed for full interoperability between platforms.

Samba doesn't "work fine" except for the simple case. Using it with groups and group permissions can be exceedingly painful. When I export a ZFS filesystem on FreeBSD over Samba, it exposes the full ACL model to the Windows client which is accessible and manipulable via the standard security properties as well as the command-line on the server or and NFSv4 clients.

When working with group permissions locally or over NFSv4 or CIFS, you aren't restricted to the pitiful group and setgid permissions offered by the standard UNIX permissions or even POSIX.1e ACLs. You can add an @group ACE detailing the group access permissions and their inheritance, or custom ones per user, which can make working on shared data much simpler. No more pain when someone with a broken umask adds something and strips off the group permissions, or they drop the setgid bit and the inheritance is lost, or they access it via samba and it sets the wrong group ownership or permissions. All of which I see regularly on shares exported from Linux. We often have to export the same share multiple times with different configuration to work around the limitations (read-only, group and group perms), where if it was using proper ACLs just one would work for all cases.
Also we are building a co creation platform. Why not start there?

I think the net of it is: anonymity encourages some people to be abusive, but enough people are abusive under their real names that you can't say anonymity is the primary factor behind abuse.

Whether curbing anonymity is a necessary component of fighting abuse and/or worth it becomes a further question.

That's what Experts Exchange was doing. Back in the days before Stack Overflow, EE was one of the hot places to go for answers to software engineering problems. It was a free site for many years, then one day they decided to require a subscription to read the answers. Google still indexed the question, so that you would open up a EE link, only to be greeted with "the answer requires a subscription". Google allowed that for a number of years before finally deindexing their results, but it took bloody forever!
Science vs. Cinema: Arrival
Because smaller shops want the benefit of monorepo without paying the cost/discipline it requires. Mono repos without excellent unit tests and integration tests, review processes and various tools, is a disaster. And, in fairness to Google and Facebook, when they talk about the benefits of monorepo, they always mention these costs (it just gets ignored by people: Headline Driven Development)

And I'm sure that the number of companies doing really good integration tests in somewhere in the 1/10000 range (or worse). Every dependency, external provider, internal API, data store, taking into account versioning....it's hard.

I'm a huge believer in automated testing, I've written about it and done it for almost two decades now. My views on it have continuously evolved...and comprehensive and effective integration testing is still a complete mystery to me. The only reason I'd want to work at BigTechCo would be to learn about that specific aspect of software development.
I think the problem is that until recently, the costs of producing and distributing these videos was much higher. With the rise of YouTube, it has become possible for a Salman Khan or John Green to become a celebrity eduvideographer without a lot of capital investment.

One of the flaws of common core is that it seems that the proponents did a poor job of marketing it to the broader adult community. Doing so would have:

1) Given parents the answer to "why is this change happening at all? I learned math just fine as a kid!"

2) Engaged some people in trying to think about the best ways to explain that material and accelerated the formation of a community that gains status with each other by coming up with better and better explanations of the common core curriculum.

I've heard a few people say, "America First," recently. I think everyone is at least mildly aware of suffering internationally. Refugees are big news.
Largely because I'm relatively new to all of this and probably don't know better, but I've found success just using divs for all layout and doing it myself.

Which is a smell to me, but I just can't help but find that every time I have consistent results and expected behaviour. Div and flexbox for everything.

It actually reminds me of another smell I have with django: write my own serializers and views rather than using any of the magical ones. I tried so hard to use the freebies but the moment you want something that isn't exactly as prescribed, it becomes a disaster. That's been my experience with CSS and HTML layouts.
My first thought when reading this is "What could possibly go wrong?" while audibly rolling my eyes. Scientists with safeguards in place LOL.

My second thought was that science fiction is writing itself in real time here, right in front of me. Re-engineer a planet . . . To make it "better". (Certain terms and conditions apply, no warranty express or implied . . . .)

My third thought was a memory of the eugenics movement of the '20s and '30s. This is a much cleaner and more scientific way to rid yourself of unwanted segments of the human population, and easier to execute at a distance and at scale.

Companies often act ethical when the rules support this. If you tax pollution or other externalities then company's take them into account. And people generally prefer working with ethical companies which is a bonus. However when you don't tax pollution companies that act unethically have a huge advantage and win driving more unethical behavior.
Repetition makes lies seem true, but repetition also makes truth seem true. All persuasion (and indoctrination) happens through repetition, whether in a classroom setting, a forum like this one, or in sales.

This realization is also deeply depressing, because it means you're doomed to repeat yourself over and over if you want to persuade people.

Let's take Noam Chomsky for instance. He gives more than a hundred talks every year for the past 50 years. He has written dozens (if not a hundred) books, given thousands of interviews. His message is always the same. Because after you've figured out what your best and most persuasive arguments are the only thing left to do is repeat yourself over and over. Every day is groundhog day.

Startups also have to learn the value of repetition. Long form sales text works, because of repetition. Long form video demos work, because of repetition. Drip email campaigns work, because of repetition. It's often better to give customers one good reason to use your product, repeated three times than to give three distinct reasons why they should purchase. Counter-intuitive, perhaps, unless you've heard this argument before.
It seems to me that requiring fixed end dates for the gag orders would greatly mitigate the problem. It would be possible to extend them, individually, for cause.
> In a larger Vue.js project, you would likely abstract the Event Bus into a single file, importing it into every component file where it needs to be used. This way, it does not pollute the global namespace.

Instead of having to import a file everywhere, I'm used to add the bus to the Vue prototype:

// Create a bus for global events
var busVue = new Vue()

// vue properties
Object.defineProperties(Vue.prototype, {
$bus: {
get: function () {
return busVue
}
}
}

so I can simply use it from any Vue component:

this.$bus.$emit('error', 'Impossible to connect to the database')

for emitting, and for binding on:

mounted: function (msg) {
this.$bus.$on('error', this.alert)
}

First i looked at who made the paper (since it is right there on the first page) and thought "oh, this should be detailed and objective". But alas it was neither...

Android cares about POSIX about as much as Windows. Programs that were tested were from "app stores", based on the popularity of downloads from same. POSIX equals only libc in this study. Actually i could poke holes in this study all day. Just want to say that it is very much not an objective one.

PS I even went above the first sentence that talks about age as if it matters.
How do you know it's not also the target audience?
I don't they're the same at all. In your example if you walk out of the store with the magazine the store has to cover the cost of the magazine. If you stay in the store and read it then the content provider didn't get paid for someone consuming their content however the magazine is still there. The store could still sell it.

The l.php script basically allows someone to read the magazine without paying for it. The only entity that loses something in that situation is the content provider.
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it." Hitler's rules sound vaguely familiar.

You missed the point. The CSS table display was created to decouple this particular layout behaviour from the <table> element. The reasons for that are clearly laid out in the examples. All of this was impossible to accomplish before flexbox.
I often open 10-30 tabs with stories I want to read later.. and I leave those tabs sometimes open for a few hours or up to a few days until I have time/interest to read them. How would a paywall deal with that? Or perhaps I am the exception with this type of reading.
