I'm not holding my breath for ECC support. My thinking is that if it could run ECC RAM with the actual corrections enabled, they'd be talked about that as a selling point. I'd sure like it with the 32GB I have going into this build, but I just went with "G.SKILL F4-3000C15D-32GTZ TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000)" for now, with the idea that I'll get a second of the same kit in a couple of years when it's half the price of today.

Its interesting that corporate had a different notion. So perhaps down on the line somewhere, someone is mixing in big bags of tofu into the chicken parts grinder and boosting their profit by selling it as 100% chicken. At least one of the Parmesan/sawdust suppliers was the culprit (that and lax oversight by the buyer).

I agree with you about GMO, however a better substitute for soy would be more chicken. Also, lacking fat is a big deal when it is substituted for carbs, and you are on a low carb high fat diet.
It's incredibly frustrating to me too.

Firstly, this is only for England. Health is devolved in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Preventative stuff and a lot of sexual health stuff (STD screening, free contraception) is paid for by "Public Health", which is part of local government.

Treatment is paid for by the NHS, which is sort of nationally funded by NHS England to local Clinical Commissioning Groups.

Sometimes you'll have "joint commissioning" -- for example in Gloucestershire there's joint commissioning across public health and the NHS for Mental Health.

But yes, it's stupid bureaucracy and budget holding and it's caused harm.

It looks to me like you are correct the Canadian thing looks like a universal income. So it could be just a garden variety error on the part of the NYT journalist to say it was the first. I'm happy there are other tests going on. Maybe I'm a hopeless idealist but I've always been optimistic about the future but that optimism has been pushed to the wall lately. This was the first thing I've read I while that made me think maybe the future isn't going to be a total dystopian nightmare. Maybe there's hope.

The CDC reports that in 2009, MSM accounted for 61% of all new HIV infections and that MSM who had a history of recreational drug injection accounted for an additional 3% of new infections. Among the approximately 784,701 people living with an HIV diagnosis, 396,810 (51%) were MSM. About 48% of MSM living with an HIV diagnosis were white, 30% were black, and 19% were Hispanic or Latino. Although the majority of MSM are white, non-whites accounted for 54% of new infections HIV related MSM infections in 2008.[7] A recent study estimated that for every 100,000 MSM, 692 will be diagnosed with HIV. This makes MSM 60 times more likely to contract the virus than other men and 54 times more likely than women
"The people saying it isn't hard are right... it really isn't. What's hard is leaving everything you should be doing for the end of the day, then trying to cram in a whole head of broccoli with dinner."

I'm saying it isn't hard to eat 10 servings a day, what's hard (and by implication what people who think it's hard are often doing in some form) is cramming their servings in at the end of the day, and from one source. I was marveling at how that would throw anyone off.

calligraphy is part of the typographic process. typography has been around for much longer than vector graphics. font forging, typesetting, type design -- pick any part of the "stack," and go as far back as the northern song dynasty, if you like -- has always involved a lot of hand work. thinking of typography as a superset of calligraphy -- inextricable and dependent on one another -- might help your understanding.

One of the rarest and most under-appreciated skills in tech is the ability to explain things. As an industry, we mostly focus on building and selling, and the twain don't always meet. Many of the builders have deep and excellent understanding of the tech they work with; many salespeople are excellent at persuading customers to do x. But there's a very important and underused bridge between insiders who understand, and everyone else. Blogging is a great exercise for deeply technical, because it's a chance for them to actively ask themselves: What do others not understand, and how can I explain it clearly?

I may be repeating myself but I think aid programs and welfare programs usually aren't as efficient as cash transfers and usually include a means test. The vision, at least, of this program is cash and no means test.

There's the classic problem of the leaky bucket, meaning that overhead drains some resources before they reach the problem itself. Cash is about as efficient as it gets.

That's probably a better example... I consider myself a high output person, but that's usually offset by helping others, and part of my day "growing"... Most days I spend my pre-lunch hours reviewing emails, in meetings or reading things like HN articles. Afternoons I try to stay head down (headphones on) from 1pm onward.

Some people that you may be working with are simply resistant to actually expending a portion of their own day to learn/grow. Even if directed by others, or when you try to help. I do find that the best use of that bending of wills is participating in regular code reviews. Offer suggestions of things that should be changed before accepting, and other things that should be done differently in the future.

When you do that, you'll see your peers taking on more and growing over time. But it isn't easy, and will never be thatn 0x + 10x + 10x that was suggested upthread.

Bitcoin: nope [0]. Bittorrent: there's a huge ecosystems of clients written by different teams of people. Spark: do you mean Apache Spark? It has many contributors [1]. Tarsnap: is convenient plumbing wiring up S3 and the academic cryptography literature, neither of which are solo efforts. PGP: its most important manifestation is probably GnuPG, which also has several contributors [2]. Minecraft: Mojang has 47 employees [3]. I doubt Notch is the only person with code in Minecraft.

You do have a point that solo brilliant engineers can start projects that go on to have massive impact (cough Linus Torvalds), but once those projects have reach, they tend to have teams.

I don't understand your point with regard to charity. What's your objection if this is charity?

I understand your concern about messy legislation but is that an argument against it? I see your point, though. I'm guessing, possibly wrong, that the people involved in this have considered or at least will consider how this will be implemented and will fund lobbying to try to get this done as cleanly as possible. I realize I'm making some assumptions here but people aren't going to invest boatloads of money in testing a concept than just let it fail during deployment.

I'd take very negative view of interviewee that claims linked lists and big-O (and optimization lore connected to it) is relevant only in interviews. Of course, if he's interviewing for HTML-"coding" grunt in a company making trivial website, I'd get it. But if any substantial programming involved, it's completely false.

(Cross-)Browser Fingerprinting via OS and Hardware Level Features (2017) [pdf]
A friend of mine's brother recently was kidnapped driving a long-haul up to SP. They held him at gunpoint for five days, and when his parents (who live in the South) called the police they were told at first not to worry, that they usually were released after a few days; they only want the cargo and the truck. Three days in the mother, now convinced the son is dead, is trying to get the police to do anything.

Their line is that they can only start to search if the parents come up to SP, and file the report in person. Later, it's admitted that maybe some money could avoid that process.

Uber is doubtless not helping, but they're not creating the problem either.
> How would you feel about hosting a small cloud or Kubernetes cluster on your coffee maker?

The thing I expect these to lead to is for everyone's router to become an implicit home server, and for that to lead to changes in the way we write "cloud" services.

Right now, a lot of background "checking up on things" for services like group chat apps, happens directly on people's phones, because they're (almost) always on and (almost) always connected to the Internet.

Now imagine that it's guaranteed that everyone in the world has an implicit personal (or family) server their phone can communicate with, and can automatically reach over and launch processes on. All the background logic would move to the server. Phone apps (and a lot of computer apps) would become simple thin-clients that talk to your home server.

It'd be like IRC bouncers, but for everything, and for everyone.

Start a multiplayer game? The lobby server launches automatically on your router.

Install a "free VoIP service" app? You've actually just installed an Asterisk server on your router; the app just configures it and acts as a softphone for it.

Want a blog? The button on WordPress.com doesn't start up a LAMP container in their cloud; it starts a LAMP container on your router.

Etc.
Looking from the outside in, it seems the problem is with management. I have never worked at Google, but I know many people who have. None of them have said positive things about their managers. Obviously this is anecdotal, but I see little reason to believe otherwise.

My guess would be simply because Buddha is a symbol of a modern religion, whereas the Greek antiquities are not.
Definitely. PEP, which for people who aren't familiar with it is a course of drugs which can be taken within 72 hours of a potential exposure to HIV to prevent becoming infected with HIV. It's not 100% effective, but it is an important tool to prevent the spread of HIV.
The Bonkers Idea to Make a Hyperloop-Style Rocket Launcher
I wasn't aware of the term, but I often give myself up to 2x the estimated time to do something... once I hit 150%, I'll do something less elegant that can move things forward and punt the issue for now.

Perfect example, starting on a new SPA, wanting to use latest/greates React/Redux/Webpack/Babel tightly coupled to a Node API latest Koa and it's ilk. For the life of me, could not get the Webpack dev server bits to work with Koa. Spent about a day and a few hours on it... finally decided to run the node server on a separate port, and have the webpack dev server set to reverse-proxy to it. I have no current plans to run websockets on my backing service, so it works for now, but not the integration I wanted, the way I wanted it.

To me, it's just being pragmatic with my time... I was explaining to a friend who asked, "were you pressured into these time constraints...?" and my response was no, it's just I wasn't going to delve into a week+ of work to get things the way I want only to provide minimal value, while the larger OSS dev community will likely provide a better solution before I can circle around to it.

I love OSS, I participate when/where I can, and appreciate all that everyone does. If you're working on something that can be separated out, that isn't a core to your business, why not put it out into the world and save someone else some time down the road. I mean a lot of things are of varying quality, but if they provide value and save myself or someone else time, I'm all for it.

Where I feel bad are the projects that start off small and hit a critical mass where the support exceeds the time/expense to support something. It's always a matter of reaching a pragmatic balance to one's efforts.

No, it's not just "describing charity to poor communities". It's about efficiently jump-starting them. Sure, ~$1 per day is very little. But in Kenya, it's enough to start small businesses. And with no need assessment or repayment management, the overhead is very low. Also, I suspect that at least some successful recipients would willingly become donors, making the system somewhat self-supporting.

Average incomes in the US are much greater, for sure. But there are places in the US where average income is just as small, relative to the national average. And what will happen when trucking is fully automated? What would prevent parts of the US from becoming as impoverished as this area in Kenya?

Why would they fight it if it was in their interest? The elites have an interest in stability. There would have to be some good marketing and some good direct sales to said elites but to me, it seems obvious that something will have to be done on this to preserve stability. Even an ice cold sociopath would want that, I would think unless these elites are a different species altogether. I doubt it.
the title does not reflect the article and the article does not reflect the subject. like everyone else here, i did not read it because after dangling a few hard facts and conclusions in front of your face, the article goes off on tangents about the personal stories of people who are involved but not instrumental. this toxic mix of novel-style story telling and actual reporting has made these articles unreadable for me. people dont give a shit about the narrative of the stupid author or even people involved in setting up this whole thing -- people want to know how the experiment went! did it work? did the people end up being lazy and unproductive like all the ubi detractors say they will? but no, i cannot know these things without fishing through pages of garbage. and when i know someone else has already done it here in the comments to reap the karma, why on earth would i even click the link?

How much of a problem is that in practice?
But initial implementations are a single person, and yes, once they have greater adoption do grow... that said, there's still a lot to be impressed by in initial release.

The most recent one that comes to mind are redux + redux dev tools. Though definitely have grown since initial implementation, it was one of the more impressive things I've seen recently. Second in my mind is git itself.
