Just making sure, but I hope you know that JJ Abrams had literally absolutely nothing to do with Firefly and wasn't even tangentially related to its creation nor production.

Also, I'm relatively positive that JJ (in the sci-fi works he actually, well, worked on), himself, knew nothing (see Armageddon for sources) and that his script supervisors dealt with any discrepancies with reality JJ had.
It's been 5+ years since I did this testing. It's possible that the Linux ecosystem has caught up to BSD in this time.

I was using pf to simulate links with specific attributes (e.g. latency, packet loss).

Reading the documentation of tc, it seems like it would accomplish what I was doing. However the documentation I found for tc was quite old (mentioning kernels 2.2 and 2.4).

...a basic income means they don't have to work 40 hours a week just to survive so they can do what they really want to do in their spare hours.

The data suggests that men, at least, really want to watch TV and take drugs. They don't spend much time raising children or on civic engagement.

If you want to say "that isn't a true Scotsman/basic income", please explain how writing "basic income" at the top of the check would change things.
All of these comments are missing the entire point of the olympics. It's like watching engineers trying to solve business problems in entrenched markets. Hint: it's not a logistical/engineering problem.

The olympics as they exist today are there to enrich the members of the IOC. That's it. How are any of all of these brilliant suggestions going to enrich the IOC members?

I have no idea on how solve this, besides first destroying the olympic brand that they are all hiding beneath.
HelenOS: Portable microkernel-based multiserver OS
In reply to fixermark, there is also nothing stopping you from very complicated queries in REST. There is not even a requirement that the server must respond immediately. For example I could request:

POST /queries

With some raw database query as the payload (please don't actually do this) and the server could respond with HTTP 202 Accepted, meaning that it's going to take some time to process, meanwhile check back at the URL in the Location header when it's finished.

REST does not mandate any upper bound on complexity, that's up to you to decide.

People like to use package managers to install thing in a Linux distro. Supporting binary compatibility means that they can just use apt instead of building something new, and rely on Canonical for creating packages.
No I suspect you're right even though the linked security design doc does say they encapsulate all app level traffic (such as HTTP) in their own RPC.
30% of GDP is almost double[1] the entire federal tax receipts currently. That means you're going to need to raise taxes to between 2x and 2.5x their current level in order to institute a program of that magnitude.

That does meet my bar of "unreasonable".

Rosetta Code might help there:

However, it's probably not terribly interesting since those are things that exercise the BCL, so any C# example would do to show you how it's done.
If the bookkeeping weren't so massive you could cycle through the entire 64-bit address space before re-issuing the same memory address. That would be similar to a bump allocator; once all the allocations on a page were freed you could unmap it so except for pathological cases you couldn't explode the number of page table entries too horribly.

At 1 TB/sec of allocations it would take 500 years to reach the end of the 64-bit address space in the kernel. (It's actually 544 years ignoring leap years and leap seconds, but subtract 44 years for reserved address ranges).

The benefit would be making it impossible to use-after-free because the same address would never be re-used.

The booster landings are all lumped together, but they all have very different parameters. They've never failed a landing on land. and since they succeeded at sea, they've only failed once since then, and that was coming in from GTO, which is borderline not possible by their own admission, they only tried just to get more data points.

The upcoming Echostar 23 mission is flying in expendable mode (no landing attempt) because the mission parameters simply don't allow for a landing. They could try and fail, but they don't really need more data points - especially when people don't realize that these experimental landings are just experimental, and it winds up with bad press.

Apologies if I'm coming from too far behind in the conversation, but I have a question about your post-scarcity assumption.

It seems to me that in most societies, human populations continue to grow until they hit some hard resource barrier. And it's not a simple, gentle equilibrium that's reached: we usually end up with poverty and/or war as a result.

How would you reconcile my take on human nature with your expectation of post-scarcity?
DISCOVER NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOURSELF
I should probably have moderated that statement, but mostly I think it's bad because it makes the versioning aspect inaccessible from the lowest common denominator, the browser address bar.

Versioning through the url and versioning through mimetypes requires the same amount of work from the user, but the former is a lot simpler. If you then also take into account, that many http clients have poor support for manipulating headers (SAP and PowerShell (earlier version) for instance), then choosing mimetype versioning makes it harder (impossible) for your users.
This is not much different than the transition from agricultural to industrial age.

If 40% end up unemployed as a result of automation, then there should be a significant increase in new jobs in the automation industry.

The solution is retraining programs. Paying displaced workers UBI while they're retraining is a compassionate temporary solution, but not long-term.
And the debris isn't heated enough to be sterilized.

It would arguably also encourage people to enter the work force, by removing the welfare traps that can, all too often, make people who switch from benefits to paid work worse off.

There's also a distinction to be made between "not working" and "not in paid employment". Carers, OSS devs etc can add value to society without ever showing up in employment stats.
See, your case is exactly when I would expect to be quizzed for algorithmic complexity and the like. And I would most likely fail! I understand pass by reference / pass by value but I would have to study hash tables (which I'm familiar with) and self balancing search trees (which I have heard of, but have not, to my knowledge, encountered).
That's a great idea. I think most people come to F# knowing a bit of .NET already, so these types of things are often overlooked.

As a note to the post-scarcity society looming, the 'humans must work 40 hours or they're not worth anything' is a recent development... Working times in middle ages was much more leisurely: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/rauch/worktime/hours_w... -- Including average working days to be 150-175 depending on the century.. W/ robotics, etc...why can't we move back to that..

I think a parent should always be home with child, whether mom or dad. -- I see a rise in home schooling and learning through other ways than schools. A marriage of pre-industrialism and post-scarcity w/ the ability to spend free time coding and working on entrepreneurism, or scientific discovery sounds a lot better than working 9-6 5 days a week to make the next Bill Gates or Mark Z. rich.
Elon Musk is working on that.

Yea, you are correct in stating that Bitcoin is much more similar to gold than it is an actual currency. That's one thing that I'm attempting to solve with Swift Demand, since coins are constantly being added to the economy you can't really use them as a long term investment and hope the price will increase. This will ideally lead to the currency having a stable value. As for making the currency move at a high velocity this is definitely one of my primary goals for making Swift Demand successful. My current plan is to implement an easy to use API and then get some online services on board to start accepting the currency to get the economy moving at a healthy speed.

Well, it (Lava Jato) still hasn't reached the Judicial, plus Pezão is in hot water and Lula possibly will make a 2018 return. With all the people taken out of poverty in the early 2000s having returned to it, perhaps people will somehow want Lula back....if not, it could be Bolsonaro following Temer. So much going on.
In my experience, most modern games aren't CPU-bound anymore; more and more work is being pushed onto the GPU with every generation. My brother has a quad-core AMD CPU (don't remember which) with a powerful GPU, and his CPU is very rarely the bottleneck—there are few games he can't max out at 1080. Also, according to AMD's benchmarks, the Ryzen CPUs are very close to Intel's in single-threaded performance.
Is this position on-site only, or are you open to remote candidates?
I didn't study the BT issue, but I read a bunch about how California did their pension valuations, and it's a circus. They basically just assume the fund would earn what they want, and project based on that. And needless to say, they assume they're market geniuses. And when it becomes dangerously underfunded, they just screw the newcomers - basically make a Ponzi scheme out of it by making new contributions finance the gaps for the old-timers and have new member to accept much worse conditions then the old ones.
And you're certain enough that he's going to be able to do it in time and that he's doing it properly enough that you don't have to do anything about it. And you'll continue to go about doing the exact same things. Got it.

> Bitcoins value fluctuates so fast that no one really knows how much something real costs in bitcoin on any given day.

True.

> ...even though Bitcoins are surprisingly valuable, as a currency it has very low velocity.

Is this part really true any more? Trades of something other than Bitcoin aren't denominated in Bitcoin. But the exchange rate, though variable, is available in realtime and companies like Coinbase take the short term fluctuation risk for traders. It's easy enough now for a seller to say "I will accept $X worth of Bitcoin" and a buyer to say "Sure, here's $X worth of Bitcoin" and for both sides to be happy. Bitcoin clients have UIs that work this way now too.
How do you deploy your Phoenix Application?

...and? cowards are people too.
This is due to the multiuser nature of Unix-like systems.

/etc/localtime is set by the administrator. It may change without notice to the user.

TZ is part of the user's environment and the user sets it. All applications run by the user should honor the user's wishes if the user's not falling back to system defaults.

If you're setting TZ for yourself, your libc can update things when you update the variable and restart any applications you're running under the old value. It can therefore save cycles. If you're falling back to the system default that's not under the same user's control, then it must be ready to deal with unexpected changes.
Pressing the keyboard shortcut for the "expression type" command is not that cumbersome though (default: ctrl + shift + p).
Even for Social Security old age benefits, the overhead is a lot more than just checking someone's age. Benefits depend upon how much income someone had during his working years. So those records have to be checked. You also have to make sure people don't get fraudulent benefits.

And that's just for old age benefits. For Social Security disability, you have to make sure someone is disabled. For unemployment, you have to make sure they worked in the first place, that they lost their job in a manner that garners them benefits, and their benefit size depends on what their pay was.

Making all this work takes bureaucrats, judges to adjudicate claims, and people to investigate fraud. I have no idea whether UBI would be dramatically more efficient but even something like Social Security is far more complex than just checking someone's age.

Then we will either be literally extinct or at least economically extinct--permanently unable to recover space-launch technology. Then Earth has to gin up another dominant species capable of reaching the stars with whatever time it may have remaining.

We already have the technology to reach outside the solar system. It launched in 1977.

We will have the capability to transplant microorganisms to extrasolar planets long before moving humans that may have 100kg or more to one. Which is good, because it may take a while for the algae to get established anyway. And if for some reason higher species never show up, that celestial object won't have to overcome the steep initial hurdle of abiogenesis.
I'm assuming you intend to reference the discussion of disability benefits late in that article; the key difference between that and basic income is that disability benefits are received by people who are judged to be occupationally disabled, which fall into two groups:

(1) People who have worked and are actually physically unable to do so any longer (and, generally, for the same reason, inhibited in other important life functions), and

(2) People who wish not to work so much that they have engaged in elaborate frauds to be adjudicated unable to work.

And, in both cases, actually receiving money from work reduces their eligibility for payments and may jeopardize their eligibility to receive benefits at all.

I think its quite reasonable to believe that neither of those (nor the two combined) would be representative in their use of money and their actions when receiving a certain amount of money, on top of the fact that receiving money which is partially conditioned on non-work induces different behaviors (even in the same set of people) than receiving unconditional funds.

As horrible as the Holocaust was, I think the thing from the Second World War that has scared me most is probably the Dirlewanger brigade[0]. I guess it's the difference between someone who kills you because that's his task, and someone who kills you because he likes it. Dirlewanger[1] was a cartoon villain. In a work of fiction he would have been easily dismissed as not believable, but he was very real.

Actually, you misread my comment: if someone disagrees with my ideas on gender inequality, I will only take them seriously if their reasons include evidence and logical reasoning. It doesn't take much, either.

I've heard people tell me they oppose radical Islam and want to kick all muslims out of their city. Their reasoning: Sharia law has already taken over many cities in the US, and if Muslims are allowed in their city, they will take over their government. Is this your reasoning?
He's talking about a scenario where 40% is unemployed due to automation, that's pretty apocalyptic. If that can be dealt with pretty well with only a 2.5x raise in tax levels, that sounds good to me.
Partly in homage to the late Kenneth Arrow.
Yeah? Who's paying google the big bills? The people who are looking to "CONTACT SALES," which is conveniently a link in the fixed header.
Except there won't be jobs in this future. None. There will come a day when medical doctors, lawyers, and even computer programming can be done by AI, and automation. You can't retrain a workforce for a job that doesn't exist. Robot maintenance maybe? Not when robots repair robots/themselves.. Sounds sci-fi now, but it's looming.
Life is more than capable of evolving mechanisms to increase or decrease it's mutation rate. On Earth Eurkaryotic cells with large genomes have developed nuclei to reduce their mutation rate and bacteria are more of a mixed bag with some even deliberately uping their mutation rate above what would be cause by radiation, etc. So in the long run eukaryotic life would just have to waste more resources on mechanisms to resist the effects of the radiation.
Right, but why not offer tipping in the app? I think everyone knows that would reduce the friction for tipping. One of Uber's original selling points was convenience -- not having to carry cash around for taxis. Now they've solved their problem, but who cares about the driver, right?

Lyft simply asks you after your trip to rate and tip, all optional.
I agree, after all we still have some customers on IE 8, but one can wish for it.
How can they be cost neutral? That would only happen if by luck the same number of people applied to basic income as previously applied for means-tested benefits. I find this scenario unlikely! Also, even if you have some new funding source, the system would have potentially huge liabilities if lots of people decide to sign up for it. Given that we can barely manage pensions, which I suspect have more stable characteristics than the hypothetical distribution of basic income requests, I'm skeptical that we could successfully manage a basic income program.
What was the "archetypal" act of war, and in what way(s) was it more serious than actually taking up arms against the US?

You seem to be arguing that innovation is good.

Contract SpaceX to bring the rods into orbit, then bill per strike. KBaaS, disrupting warfare since 2017.

Back of the envelope calculation: rods with length of 6m and radius of 5cm weight little over 900kg. Falcon 9 can bring 22.8 tons to LEO. So we can get up about 24 of these in one go. If we want to use the USAF dimensions of 6.1m and radius of 0.15m, then it's only 2 of them, maybe 3 with some adjustments to the rocket.
(I wrote this.)

It's always a bit of a fine line as to what makes the final cut in this sort of article (I tried to stay on message without getting too off track), but HTTP conditional requests are definitely something that could have been a good fit.

I should point out though that using `ETag`/`If-Match` generally has a slightly different use on updates compared to Stripe's `Idempotency-Key`. A server sends back an `ETag` that's correlated to the current state of a resource, and clients make conditional requests using one so that they can get a guarantee that they're not changing state where they didn't expect to.

Because every HTTP request stands by itself, it's very possible for a client to fetch a resource and go to update it on a second request only to accidentally clobber changes that were made by a different client. It's this sort of "mid-air collision" that `ETag`/`If-Match` help to avoid. Mozilla's documentation on the subject is quite good:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/ET...
The answer to that is really simple: JSON is a widely supported standard in many platforms and languages. Whatever the latter is, is not.

What's better than writing a parser for the latter format, is not having to write anything and just using a library, which exists in practically every language for JSON.
