By a land value tax. Taxing robots is a bad idea. Who decides how big, how small, how productive or how inefficient a robot should be? Pretty much any robot tax you can think of will skew the robot market and the distortions could be very bad for productivity. Land value taxes are nice and out of the way. They don't tell people how to run their lives. They merely tax people on an egregious form of unearned wealth.

> Show me an example of a type class with five functions and then how I can reuse it while overriding one of these five.

Huh? As I'm sure you're aware "type classes" != "classes", so I'm not sure why you're expecting them to be 'interchangeable' in this manner. It would be better to ask for some functionality (not a mechanism, as you're asking) and then show how one could be achieved[1] in one, but not the other.

Personally, I think any kind of implementation override is a code smell. If you need common functionality, just have a plain function outside your class and use that from both interface overrides.

[1] "Elegantly" or "expressively", one presumes. Of course everything can be achieved in any TC language.

There's an instructive lesson here in how both valuation and annual run-rate are meaningless numbers without a sound fundamental business underneath.

Beepi was valued at $500MM and had an almost $200MM annual run-rate, yet evaporated and is now worth absolutely nothing.

Who else out there has 9, 10, or even 11-figure valuations and high revenues but is actually a worthless business?

By the same logic the person who was put out of work by a piece of software made by Microsoft should result in the company using the Microsoft product to create value should be taxed as well. Right? So his statement that robot companies should not be concerned is pretty disingenuous if you ask me. Of course they will be concerned along with the companies. We should be coming up with incentives to give people jobs rather than negative reasons to stop them from disappearing. Like would many companies hire more people if the government paid them a subsidy to hire more people? Probably they would. Those same people pay income tax so it middles out or something.. :)
Seriously?

We all know who Bill Gates is, but let's just examine this proposition as if someone else said it, maybe someone anonymous or who lacks prestige.

We would tell them that sewing machine aren't taxed; farm equipment isn't taxed; street sweepers aren't taxed. We would tell them that productivity through technological innovation is an essential ingredient to our economy and that human needs are ever-evolving, and new jobs will be created just like they always have been.

> I am reminded of a story that a businessman told me a few years ago. While touring China, he came upon a team of nearly 100 workers building an earthen dam with shovels. The businessman commented to a local official that, with an earth-moving machine, a single worker could create the dam in an afternoon. The official’s curious response was, “Yes, but think of all the unemployment that would create.” “Oh,” said the businessman, “I thought you were building a dam. If it’s jobs you want to create, then take away their shovels and give them spoons!”

How come a robot pay taxes? It will be paid by the creators or the owner of that robot Which means that owner/creator will pay double taxes. Including his own and his robot's taxes.
Does the space used for parking even register compared to height limits and other NIMBY policies? My routes take me through quite a bit more empty vertical space (single family homes, and apartments of maybe 4 stories max) than horizontal parking space. Most parking is underground or in ~4 story garages a block or two off the main pedestrian corridors, whose entrances are 1-2 storefronts wide.

It'd take a staggering amount of low-rise to compensate for just one 40-story high-rise killed over the neighbors' concerns about shadow.

We shouldn't underprovision public transit, we should make it better than driving is today.
Evolution of Business Logic from Monoliths Through Microservices, to Functions
Places dense enough to have a subway can be commuted through with a bicycle.
I think they're just a victim of their own success. Particularly the iterative language concept of 'function' is by no means universal. They were kind of grafted onto mainframe architectures, and even the MIX from the original The Art of Computer Programming used self modifying code to perform subroutine calls.

Functions are an extremely common pattern more or less expected by every language, but I'd definitely call them patterns still.

Americans are also foolishly suckered into believing they need a new car every few years. It's not a phone. A car should last 10 years and there is absolutely no reason to buy new unless you have money to burn.

My truck is going on 10 years old (bought used) and has low mileage < 100k. Paid a fraction of the cost of a new one (roughly 35% of the sticker price when it was 5 years old).
I hope they're doing well. We got a car from them few months ago, it was so much better than going to the dealer.

That is an interesting point.. if it's AGPL and you are calling user defined functions from your application that are implemented in the AGPL postgresql extension is your codebase affected by virality clause?

Or would that only count when you write new UDFs that call into the extension? Or are neither affected?

Would really love to know because that might affect my willingness to spend time making automated Citus stuff a reality.

That's because you chose an unnecessarily negative perspective from which to say it. A better phrasing might be, "treatments for severe spinal trauma have reached new effectiveness."
I really love how the system sounds create a musical sense of progression (ascending clips with varying patterns), that you are getting closer and closer to setting things up successfully. It turns the OS itself into something that feels like a Nintendo title (really!).
While the cli forms of the various "defaults" registry commands are interesting and useful for e.g. scripting provisioning of many new machines, on a one-off basis it's probably easier to just use TinkerTool (https://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html) which offers most of them with checkboxes or radio buttons

(One could argue about safety/visibility/trust but it's really probably no worse, and possibly better, than any installer to which you give your password)
You don't need overriding, in fact you should avoid it. All five functions are already valid operations on the type class (the data you have). If you want to add an operator, then you define another function (with another name) and call it. If the existing modules need to call that operator instead, change them to be explicit about what you're doing.

This is where OOP gets it wrong, because this situation leads to logical contradictions (breaking the type system), in particular, breaking of the LSP.

I think this would've been a good answer 6 years ago, but with tablet sales decreasing YoY and desktop/ laptop finally growing again, it might not be entirely accurate.

6 years ago we thought netbook thin clients paired with powerful backends would dominate. But here we are in 2017 - server side rendering of UI is waning while rich and robust client side interface applications are thriving.

I think that late 2000's/ early 2010's vision of local computing withering in the shade of cloud resources is over. It turns out people want fancy, fat UI -- and rendering that server side isn't a very good idea.

... the whole western world was largely just dandy with oppression and genocide if it wasn't European-looking. Look at what Belgium did to the Congo, or what the UK did to China. Slavery had been verboten for a long while, but killing funny-looking or poor people wasn't so bad if it was out of sight.

Also, in 1915 when the Armenian genocide started, the western world was already locked in a bitter war with the Ottoman Empire. Did you want the infantry sent against Ottoman positions to be carrying banners saying "Okay, now we really mean it!"? Then after the war you had the major players exhausted, denuded of men, materials, and war chest.

Finally, there wasn't really a concept of a 'world cop' like there is in the Pax Americana... but even with the Pax Americana, there's plenty of places it ignores (eg see the five-year Second Congo War, ended this century, 5 million dead).

This picture that you're painting skips an incredible amount of context.

>Edit:also , they mentioned an ncfet transistor for general use.since this transistor remember his state, you may not have to power it in sleep mode(whole circuit or partial), and thus could get zero leakage current!

Um, no, that's not the point of the NC FET. The "negative capacitance" aspect of the ferroelectric material means that the NC FET can switch on or off faster, reducing power wasted in the switching process, and therefore allow chips to run cooler.

See https://phys.org/news/2011-09-ferroelectrics-pave-ultra-low-... for a general explanation or https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2015/EECS-2015-... for a technical explanation.

Learn from this. High Level Strategic planning & market research is often underrated by the Investors & Founders, that is why so many fail. And I can say this definitively because the reasons for failure can often be traced to one of these two reasons:

1) We expanded too fast - the result of poor stragetic planning

2.) The market for our products was weak - the result of of limited or no market research

In Beepi case it was reason (1) they expanded too fast. Can't imagine what they were doing with 300 employees, technology should have been used to make them more efficient.

Investors are more concerned with college pedigree yet that has not limited failures. They don't know what they need to know until it is over.

I used to travel between New Zealand and UK every few months for years (about 28 hours in the air), and as soon as I get on the plane I want to forget my device exists. Or any device for that matter - please don't give me an ipad to fiddle with.

I associate it with work and the outside world, and love these small chances to switch off completely.

I suspect many here who are running startups would be surprised to hear what a wonderful short PROPER holiday long haul flights can be. No comms - just sleep, kindle, and those crappy screens on the back of the seat. Wonderful.

After about 15 years of this an unexpected side effect - planes put me to sleep. Even if it's the wrong time of day or I've recently had caffeine, just the environment association now makes me usually fall asleep before the wheels are up.
My apologies if this has been covered already. I know the job search is important, and I don't want to minimize that. I just want you to consider some things you may have stopped thinking about, in your discouragement.

Try to get good sleep. This will help you think more clearly.

Try to get regular exercise. This will also help you feel better, and think more clearly.

Read also. You cannot be looking for work constantly and not give yourself some kind of mental/emotional break.

As far as the job search is concerned, I'd recommend you talk to you people you know, where you are. Ask them if their companies are hiring. Generally, the likelihood of getting a job is better when you have a contact that already works there.

Go to meetups. Make contacts with others in your profession.

Freelance until you can get a regular job.

These are just some ideas. I know there are factors in your situation that none of us understand. I wish you luck. If you ever want to talk, my info is in my profile.

It works much better in European cities. Cars are not necessary to have affordable housing that is close to offices. You "just" need denser cities, saner zoning and decent public transport. In my office for example the large majority arrives via bike or public transport. There isn't enough parking space to accomodate even half of the workers.

I live about five kilometers from the office and ride my bike. I pay about twelve Euros per square meter rent. My apartment even has a big yard, I just have to share it with the other tenants. A grocery store is right across the street. The next one is ten minutes walk away.

Live can be pretty nice if city planning isn't completely screwed up.

I think Gates meant this more as a thought experiment, since he can't seriously think we can define a "robot." We need to find ways to cope with the speed of automation, by finding more revenue for putting displaced people back to work. How can we get the labor participation rate (62% and dropping) back to the pre-recession levels, as we fight both aging and automation.

Beepi's business model is not scalable at all. I would be very surprised if any experienced investor has a dime in it.
This is a very smart idea. Taxes' primary function is to finance what can only be provided by government in our society. With the advent of robots as a major part of our working force taxing them is a way to get money for the public good. Why shouldn't they be taxed? The alternative is for the robots and their owners to get a free ride while still using society's infrastructure. Taxing robots is probably not enough. I suspect in time we'll need to find a tax, or an equivalent, for algorithms too.
It doesn't require it, but it helps. The IMEI gives away information like manufacturer, device model and rev, and persists across changes in SIM.
