Then couple the lowering of the retirement age with a lowering of the amount paid out in the early years of retirement, gradually plateauing down to a base UBI level for 40-somethings and increasing to plateau out to a social-security level for 60-somethings.

"Here’s a message on behalf of brand marketers everywhere.† We know about banner fraud already. We just don’t care. Seriously. It’s fine. I mean, you got us into this mess years ago, and sure, it was kind of annoying, but you know what? It is what it is. To your immense credit, you have adjusted prices downward as you’ve made banners an ever-increasing stshow, so, actually, it’s totally cool. We like them.
That’s right. I said it. We like banners. So stop telling us that they are useless. Everyone does not hate banners. You’ve thrown, god, what is it, something like 400 different, new, “better” ad formats at us now. But we keep buying banners. It’s time everyone accepted the truth: we’re not buying banners from you because it’s the only thing you can sell us, we’re buying banners from you because they’re cheap and they work."
Me too! But what my clumsy choice of words was supposed to convey was a desire to be able to act as well if such circumstances ever arise.
No. You don't get thrown into jail if you don't tithe.
Now you can understand anything. It works like magic!
Sorry if I gave the impression of trying to force him into this. That's not the case.

I want to do all the thinking and place a set of options in front of him for the summer. I'm perfectly OK if he wants to spend the summer mostly going to beach with friends. That's OK to. I want him to start down the path of making the kinds of decisions an adult has to make.

At this point I see it as a choice to invest some time over the summer to have access to higher paying part time jobs and gigs in CS rather than minimum wage clerical or other stuff.
Yeah, I was speaking from a slanted point of view because I'm not the typical user. What interests me about them is their potential to be a more powerful terminal command line. One that can render graphical responses as well as text.

I've grown very tired of all the differing UIS I must navigate on a daily basis.
> ...there is a doctrine of a "priesthood of all believers", i.e., as long as you continue to claim to be Christian you're A-OK.

That's not what that means to a non-Mormon Christian. In fact, as far as behavior goes, it calls for the opposite. Reading 1 Peter chapter 2, it's clear that it says that Christians are all responsible for priestly duties, in the way they behave, the way they speak, and the way they care for the spiritual lives of the people around them.

Even more clearly, at the end of James 2, it says exactly the opposite. It says trust in God is empty if your trust isn't influencing your behavior (faith without works is dead).

The notion of a priesthood of believers is significant in a way that contrasts with the Mormon church, though. Protestant Christians believe that the healthy Christian Church enables and supports Christians (and everyone else for that matter) but that no organizational leadership functions as gatekeepers "the saved", godly marriage, or any other special status.

By definition, there is. It's called Internet Protocol. Data doesn't move on the Internet without it.
The way I see it, chatbots should be there to save companies money on first line of support by reducing number of personnel to customer interactions.. Like answering the most frequent questions and only if bot cannot answer those questions then it will redirect to real human. Not as replacement for the UI as they're used today. Also bots should be part of your website/app and not be integrated into third party service like fcb messenger. And companies should constantly check and improve the bot to better respond to FAQs (so developing bot is actually never ending process).
ASN.1 is quite well known because of X.509 certificates though! XDR, yeah, I had to look up as well.
The simple answer is, absolutely yes. As a member of the LDS Church I have been able to serve along side a number of people who are not members of the church and are not interested in our beliefs at all. Often this is at places like Bishop Storehouse's (which is like a food bank), at a church run farm, at church run non-profit stores (known at Deseret Industries, and are a lot like Goodwill's), and other places. It's honestly not easy managing all of the help that is given out and we will take all the help we can get!
This is really interesting. Impressive to see a startup with so much bare metal hardware (800+ servers in 47+ data centers), due to their need to power autocomplete-style search and hence offer the lowest latency possible.

One detail I particularly liked (buried deep in the article) was this one: "Once a machine is detected to be down, we push a DNS change to take it out of the cluster. The upper bound of propagation for that change is 2 minutes (DNS TTL). During this time, API clients implement their internal retry strategy to connect to healthy machines in the cluster, so there is no customer impact."

Offering client API libraries that have a retry strategy baked-in and relying on that for part of your high availability strategy is very neat.
Step 1: Oh my god we can't pay for retirement!

Step 2: Raise the age of retirement. (Phew!)

Step 3: Oh my god unemployment is raising! (Those no-longer- retirees must find a job, right?)

Step 4: Get rid of unemployment insurance (in part or in whole).

Step 5: things get real ugly real quick.

---

Seriously, raising the age of retirement in the face of raising technological unemployment is nuts. Those who push for this are either stupid or evil. Given the army of counsellors they have at their disposal, I'm not sure stupidity is a valid explanation. Some of them must have some nefarious purpose in mind.
I don't think that for instance MS Access has failed. It was and still is a very good solution when it comes to creating line of business apps (within days) that have forms, reports and database access (for teams with up to ten members). These teams don't need anything that is more complex than that.

I don't know better solutions for developing RAD (rapid app development) apps for companies who are running on the Microsoft stack and who don't have dedicated dev teams.

Now for them Google App Maker is a very interesting solution.

Actually Google addresses these kind of users explicitly in their early access application form.

I don't think that this platform was intended to replace Frontend Development, React, Angular, etc
UBI is a redistribution expense, that means, the government takes taxes from richer people, and distribute it to everybody.

Retirement is an entitlement pyramid, that means, people pay the government for it to take care of older participants, and by doing so they get entitled into receiving something in proportion to what they paid.

Besides it being a pyramid, a UBI scheme where total received is proportional to total paid wouldn't work either. Yet, none of that means that UBI wouldn't work, those are completely different.
One big influence was HTTP. You really need to consider HTTP as part of the serialization. HTTP led to XML over HTTP and then JSON over HTTP. Then came HTTP/2 to and then gRPC.

Would it be better if we still send HTML over ASN.1? I think the state of things would be much worse.
I'm glad that you came to the same conclusion about talking helping, like you it was difficult before that. In my teens and early twenties a lot of people just assumed that I was weirdly calm. It's not easy for people like us to open up and say, "It hits me, it just takes time to process and it all happens inside of my head."
For those who want to use a VPN, but don't want to pay for it as a service because of all the arcane issues that can come with it, and of course have some hardware laying around, I recommend using StrongSwan (https://www.strongswan.org/) + Stunnel (https://www.stunnel.org/index.html) instead of openVPN

Why strongswan? Because setting up a VPN properly, and securely (thats very important) is hard! and I feel, personally, that openVPN is alot for people to take in. I know it was for me, and I'm not ill experienced.

Strongswan is also open source, and they have a lot of very good documentation including cryptographically verified 'plug n play' (mostly) setups:

https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/UsableE...

While I'm at it, they have a wonderful entry on their wiki with security recommendations:

https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Securit...

From just my experience, and dealing with the community, and from what I understand from others much more educated in these matters, their usable configurations are indeed very good.

Strongswan of course supports pre-shared key authentication and certificate authentication in lieu of username/password. They also can take advantage of CA-certs for encrypting your conversations over SSL/TLS (think: letsencrypt!)

It also has the latest versions available, you can install on routers that support openWRT, lede-project.org and I believe DD-WRT has this as an option? I couldn't say for sure.

Why do I recommend stunnel though if it can use a valid CA ssl cert on its own? Mostly because Stunnel can re-direct any traffic over SSL (I recommend you do this wherever you can, stunnel is insanely useful for just this basic encryption traffic, because you can make ANYTHING run over SSL with it) and its insanely simple to setup, where as setting it up with strongswan as one its modules is a little more complicated.

Also, stunnel will redirect your traffic based on ports. So you can have stunnel listen on 443 and route the traffic to whatever port you are running your VPN service on. This gets around potential blocks on say, corporate networks, or public wifi, or even just ISP snoopage.

I feel like paying for a VPN if you don't have to is a waste compared to having your own. OWN YOUR TRAFFIC! Its the only way to ensure any semblance of privacy.
True, technically it's not "audiobook piracy", but I used that as shorthand for recording and distributing an audio version of a written book, which courts will surely find to be a form of piracy.
As Douglas Crockford, inventor of JSON, once said: "The good thing about reinventing the wheel is that you can get a round one." https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Douglas_Crockford
People argue about whether or not 10x proframmers exist yet mostly agree on the 80/20 rule though. But aren't they actually the same thing?

Given 100 units of output and 10 people and the 80/20 rule, 2 people provide 40 each, while the remaining 8 provide 2.5 each. Each of the 2 is 40/2.5 times more efficient that each of the 8. 16 times "better"

In a fair world then, these people are justified for 16x the pay, and recursively, the elite of the elite should have 256x the pay.
I didn't hear him mention the size or weight of the locks they tested anywhere. Please point out where he says that.

Here's a crazy thought--stick to the data as she represented it and present your counter argument with equally good data.
I don't think that's the consensus at all. I don't think there is a consensus, honestly. The only people who would say such a thing are the same overenthusiastic (bless them, but still) CS undergrads and/or aspiring social media climbers who also post about how self-driving cars are already a solved problem that will be universal by 2020, or that we'll reach the singularity by 2035, or that Linux will inevitably devour Windows on consumer desktop PCs by 2005, or that by the 1960s every large first-world city will have a single skyscraper-sized computer with resources shared by all residents via teletypes in every home.

Futurism is an extremely useful exercise as long as it's treated as a thought experiment based on current trends rather than actual prognostication.

The median HN post is probably wiser or better informed than the median post to Slashdot or /r/programming or whatever, but at the end of the day it's still an Internet forum for anonymous tech enthusiasts, with all of the potential for bias and tunnel vision that that implies. You still have to wade through mountains of garbage to find gems of insight, there's just sometimes a little less garbage and a little more insight here than elsewhere. I don't say that to cast shade on HN, rather I think accomplishing something like "a little less garbage than proggit" is a freaking miracle and that's why I read HN every day.

If you don't need hierarchical classes[1], just use tbf (token bucket filter) instead of htb (hierararchy token bucket) - it's more efficient, more compact, and gives you access to delay in the same discipline as well. Compare:

# htb
tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle 1: root htb default 11
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 1kbps
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:11 htb rate 1kbps

vs.

# tbf
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 1kbit latency 42ms burst 2k

"man htb" and "man tbf" are quite usable too.

[1] i.e. stuff like "I would like to have tcp/80 limited to 10 mbit/s, tcp/443 limited to 15 mbit/s, while sum of above should never exceed 20mbit/s, and tcp/80 should get priority when competing for that shared 20mbit/s"

EDIT: changed to "burst 2k". Having burst lower than interface MTU will delay large packets essentially forever.

A lot of blood could be shed before anything was "squashed".

Have you ever been in a civil war? I have. There are more guns in Houston, TX than there ever was in Baghdad. Local police/fire are cut from the same cloth as the locals, they'd be sympathetic to their neighbors. How do I know? They say so.

Also, there is nothing more terrifying or effective in a civil war than a sniper. Source: been there done that. The U.S. has the largest standing army in the world on opening day of deer season, all with high powered rifles and scopes.

Any uprising could be squashed eventually, but it would take a lot of ordnance, blood, and time.

This is only going to happen if people are accurately simulating the true problem. The instructions given in the article and the measures implemented by wrappers like the comcast tool mentioned in another comment do not simulate anything remotely realistic. Testing against a simulation like this can help verify that the obvious changes like reducing image sizes and the total number of requests for a page will help, but it won't fully show how things like the CDG and BBR TCP congestion control methods help.
Farming and natural resources generally.
Where there was a mine to open or lumber to chop a town would spring up. Otherwise you'd typically get small towns springing up in the middle of farming areas. But back then a family might have 100 or 200 acres so you'd get a lot of people in a fairly small area. Now with modern tech farms can be 10 times that and corporations probably own most of them so they don't each have their own family.

Thank you as well. It was a good one for thinking about stuff even if we disagree on the basic idea. :)

First of all, that Apple is the only one providing usable real-world solutions is simply not true. Secondly, it still doesn't invalidate my point. Even if Android works badly with third party products, Apple is often absolutely incompatible.

> How do people who think a feasible UBI future is possible square with this?

You have to address the revenue to pay for it, which in most places means ending preferential tax treatment of capital income. Right now, pretty much the whole world has, at any income level, heavier taxation of labor than capital (in the US, higher direct taxes coupled with employer mandates that act as additional taxes; as well as addressing​ direct taxes those mandates need replaced with public social programs so they aren't burdens on employing labor.)

This is a very useful write-up. I thoroughly enjoyed it i.e. found it informative. Thank you.
Even if your premises were true,[1] why does it matter? The government doesn't have to care how certain companies came to acquire market power. Regulation isn't a punishment for prior actions, it's designed to change conduct on a forward looking basis.

Also, you might not use Facebook, but everyone else does. For your typical person, switching to a different ISP would be way easier than moving to a different social networking platform. When you say people don't have a choice with regards to broadband, there is an implicit qualifier that you're talking about comparable choices, because nearly everyone can get satellite on top of wired options. But what's the comparable alternative to Facebook where I can post pictures of my kid and have my family in Bangladesh see them? Facebook's market dominance is far larger in scope than any ISP.

Look, I'm in agreement that ISPs shouldn't be able to use or sell this data. But I find the Internet company response to these rule changes to be pretty hypocritical in trying to split hairs and say privacy invasion is okay for some companies and not others. There shouldn't be a "level playing field" for this practice--we should just ban it.

[1] The idea that any substantial portion of modern broadband networks was publicly funded is incorrect, as is the idea that there are legal prohibitions on who can "dig to lay more lines."
Presumably the uop cache is just indexed by address and would work fine. Sure, the stored instructions in the cache might overlap in their original encoding, but I don't see why that would inherently be a problem for the architecture.

> and drooling about what it means to go to a school like that.

As someone who bummed around the high levels of the academy for years as research staff, let me tell you what it means. It means lots of stress (and has been described as drinking from a firehose), and lots of ego, and a more prestigious brand associated with your diploma, exactly comparable to having a Gucci purse instead of one from Banana Republic. It does not mean more capable students, more capable faculty, or better resources for an individual undergraduate.

Studentry plateaus in intelligence and ability at the level of a decent state university. Faculty plateaus at a lower level of prestige than that. The prestige is useful for only two things: marrying into privilege and getting jobs with certain prestigious firms in management consulting and finance. If neither is important to you, then there is no reason to spend $180k on MIT instead of $60k to $80k on your state school. Or $5k on four years of tuition at the EPFL in Switzerland, which is as prestigious as MIT or Caltech. (Numbers are tuition and fees, but not cost of living, for four years. State universities are in-state tuition. EPFL is international student tuition.)

And if you're interested in engineering and lucky enough to live in California, Georgia, Colorado, or Alabama, you have a state university that, in engineering, is more prestigious than MIT.
The problem with the government inventing jobs out of thin air is that those jobs tend to be counter-productive - They add bureaucracy and slow everything down further - They add negative economic value.
