Tax rates do not need to be that high for investment to work.

In fact, if we simply didn't change them and reprioritized our existing budget, it would begin to work nicely in the US.

As for fact, economics is not a hard science. Agreed.

Our own history is all we need to know here. Regular and consistent investment spending has a solid basis in history. It's as solid as many other ideas are.

We are left with value judgements. Frankly, I value a bit more basic security and stability more than I do a greater share of dollars earned. I am joined by a growing majority of Americans in these things too.

I don't care what you do. Seriously.

Here, cost and risk exposure is very high. While you may not like the amount your society costs, I can say the lack of sane health care policy, for one, here is something I dislike just as much.

I have just as much and just as valid cause for my advocacy as you do.

Did it all right, but someone got sick. I had two choices:

Let them die, or experience financial ruin. That is no fucking joke. A state of affairs faced by millions all the time here.

And I got forced there too. Let's just say others, who felt they needed more threw me under the bus. Other details do not need to be here.

Perspective, huh?

:D

Cheers! May we both somehow arrive at a more equitable place.

> to modest increases in the minimum wage

"Modest" here seems like an unproven assumption. The gap between the Puerto Rican economy and US state economies is much larger than the gap between, say, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

As far as I know there's no real disagreement on the direction of the labor demand curve. If you put the minimum wage at $40/hour (or $10/hour in China) it would have massive consequences.

So even granting the 'little or no' result, we haven't proved the "modest increase" charge for Puerto Rico.
In my circles in the USA, AUDI means "A Used Dodge Intrepid" so no wonder it's got a poor rap.
It was a sarcastic retort that your perspective is egocentric extrapolation based upon averages. Akin to looking at the highest GDP/capita and deciding that poverty does not exist.

Even if some quantum effect is required for consciousness, and even if consciousness is required for intelligence, I'd argue that this does not mean we cannot simulate this - the Universal Quantum Computer[0], for example, was proposed by a researcher at the same institution at around the same time as Penrose when he wrote The Emperor's New Mind.

Seems exciting for the few developers in the world who would want to use this. Then again I'd be wary of trusting my money with some random small bank in a foreign country. Probably not even possible to use it in the first place. Also if this was ever going to get big I'm sure the big boys would step in and have it shut down in no time
Can you give flavor on this:
"Now we need to remove our phone number as backup method. (If you're curious why it's important to not have a phone number on your account, see the (https://techsolidarity.org/resources/security_key_faq.htm)[s... key FAQ].) "

Unfortunately, the security key FAQ contains no info on why you shouldn't have your phonenumber. I assume it's because phone-number migrations can be used to take control of your accounts?

EDIT: Yeah. Perhaps reading the article instead of just coming to the comments might have been useful.
It always ends with a correction, although I don't agree that this is bad.

I used to get annoyed by all the negativity Soylent received from people. Now I just get amused by it. Soylent has been nothing but a positive addition to my life.
We should (as a society) consider open sourcing every medical record.

Medical privacy is ethically tricky. It (1) protects bad doctors, (2) makes it harder to develop treatments, (3) makes it hard for consumers to shop intelligently.

Medical privacy would be useful when negotiating cost of coverage with your insurer, but they have a contractual right to demand your complete medical record.

The best arguments I've heard for medical privacy are (1) you might not get a job if you're sick, (2) shame factor could prevent people from going for treatment and (3) you may not get a date if you have, say, herpes. (#3 is true but not necessarily a strong point from a social standpoint).

So long as you never switch or factory reset phones, because Google Authenticator, by design, never reveals the private keys. (I've locked myself out of accounts because I broke my phone and had to get a new one.)

Also, do you really trust your Android phone with your TOTP private key? How do you know there isn't malware running on it as root?
Hopefully we'll get to a world where people keep a U2F key on their keychain, and use it for all their important logins.

Litecoin has a fraction of the transaction fees of bitcoin, so instead of buying something that costs $10 and paying about $1 in miners fees, with LTC you would pay a few pennies at most. Granted, most retailers only accept Bitcoin if they accept cryptocurrency at all, but this may change as more people use LTC for smaller payments.

As the author of the article, I might be able to clarify a bit ;-). It is not absolutely clear to me what the bug is. It only appears on a few devices so it is not a trivial bug. It seems to be triggered by certain sizes and probably how the block is placed in memory. To answer your question: yes, the return value of memmove seems to be wrong in some cases. ChengYi He's analysis indicates that an ARM/Neon instruction is skipped which could explain the miscalculation. Why it skips the instruction (more precisely, why PC is not incremented correctly after returning from an exception) isn't clear to me or ChengYi He.

The cost of things will go as it will be more expensive to make things nationally.

When using Airbnb, the consumer should approach it as if they are taking on risk that some number of reservations will fail, and you'll have to pay a premium to find lodging. If your perceived expected value is greater when taking that risk, Airbnb is for you. If you're not willing to entertain that possibility, you should avoid it altogether.

I don't think Airbnb service handled this appropriately, but I find companies' service centers to be less than helpful most of the time.
I agree about the importance of keeping crypto secure, but I think the safe analogy is pretty apt (in situations without illegal stuff happening, which you seem to be implying). People can't understand encrypted data (at least, I'd be super impressed with you if you could understand encrypted data as is), people have to decrypt the data using an encryption key. The FBI's current issue is that with data in a safe, there's a clearly defined legal penalty for refusing to unlock a safe when given a legitimate court order if you're the only person with the safe combo (you can't plead the 5th to unlocking the safe). With encryption, there's currently no corresponding penalty.

Even without the patient's name attached it is easy to identify people because of the necessary metadata in the record. If you expect to get useful information about, for instance lung disease the record will have to contain information about exposure to likely causes, age, occupation, region of the country (possibly town), sex. It will also contain marital status, whether one has children, drinking and smoking habits, weight, ethnicity.

This is pretty close to unique, just like a browser finger print.

"Minimal Japanese aesthetic" -- the same aesthetic that asks of us to download a 100MiB browser runtime for even the most rudimentary desktop GUI app. Meanwhile, in actual Japan, you will find that many Japanese web sites and quite a few Japanese-authored software programs have a very "busy" appearance with lots of text and clickable bits -- and often, make more efficient use of HTML than do the JavaScript-encrusted, but A E S T H E T I C, monstrosities that pass for top design in the west.
The design industry is absolutely toxic. It's dripping with this type of stuff. Trends and herd mentality rules everything around designers. It's why I started to move outside of design and into product. There's absolutely no room in the design industry for critical thought or dissenting opinion. It's so wrapped up into itself that any attempts at questioning the status quo are quickly thrown out as hate. I firmly believe that the design industry is a great way to see the deterioration of society at large.
What's the difference between Boeing, Airbus, or Comac?

Boeing and Airbus:

-Are owned by shareholders all over the world(including China!)[1]

-Assemble planes all over the world(including China!)[2][3]

-Have employees all over the world (including China!)[4]

-Use parts made all over the world (including China!) [5][6]

Moreover, trade is always equal[7]. If the US sends China $100 of corn and China sends back $100 of plane, who cares?

[7]You may have heard of a "trade deficit". Well, is China sending the US $100 in products and not ask for anything in return? If so, that would obviously be amazing for the US and foolish for China (free stuff!). The truth is that instead of purchasing $100 in products to send back to China, China instead decides to purchase $100 of investment stuff in the USA, and will take the future returns that investment provides them. An example: China sends $100 of plane, takes that $100 and builds a $100 apartment building in the USA. It then takes $5 of profits a year back to China in corn, and then sells the building in 30 years for (now a larger amount) of $200 in corn.
What skills of yours do you think could become moot?
While this title follows a particular style it actually tells you what the article will be about (5 years of Haskell). What bothers you about it?
I am a C# developer. My thoughts:

- I love that they are adding REPL. I really wish C# had this. I use IPython all the time for Python. It is very helpful to mock something up quickly or try out different features.

- Adding private methods to an interface seems very wrong to me. An interface is just a contract without any implementation at all. I am not sure the reason behind this. Aren't abstract classes a thing in Java?

- I was sad to see that they have not included type inference to Java yet. It is just a syntax thing, but it makes writing code feel so much less wordy. Here's an open JEP for it: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/286
> Further, saying "white bread is worse" is a laughable diversion.

I beg to differ. White bread and other baked goods like bagels, pizza, etc are a staple of the western diet, so it is absolutely a valid baseline for comparison. People don't regularly consume plain table sugar.

Moreover, as far as I know, Soylent 1.5 powder isn't even being sold anymore. According to the Soylent site, the current version being sold is 1.8.

Therefore, I think I'm perfectly justified in calling your statements misleading.

Sure. Say you have 40k respondents in a survey who were each asked if they use toothpaste X (yes/no). Save all answers in 5k bytes, then map to any particular respondents answer by shifting right by 3 and checking remainder. Then test the bit you indexed to using the remainder. All fast operations.

Huh? I've tried a competing product just for fun to see what it was like and for convenience when I was short on time, not a daily replacement. If you're using this to not get out of bed, I agree with others that the problem is a wholly different one than Soylent or any other product such as home delivered hamburgers that allows you to not leave your home.
I totally get it; I also need a separate space to switch mindsets.

Your setup reminds me of an article I read many years ago on these sorts of "tricks" to stay disciplined when working from home. One of the tips an individual used was to

1. Walk out his front door
2. Lock it
3. Walk around the block
4. Re-enter the house

And he was now in "work mode". At the end of the day, he reversed the process by walking around the block in the opposite direction in order to "get home".

Seemed quite brilliant to me at the time.

edit: Just noticed that enraged_camel engages this exact technique below.
I can only guess, but it is in general very difficult to retrofit what is essentially green threading, coroutines, and continuations into a runtime that was built without those features. Scala has tried at least a couple of times, and as is typical of the language and community, has come up short as the original contributors lost interest or decided the problem was too hard. This includes:

* Scala's CPS compiler plugin, now deprecated and unmaintained.

* Macro-based async/await library. It's neat but has many more limitations than C#'s equivalent or Kotlin's, and hasn't had any updates in a couple of yaers.

It looks like Kotlin has recently added experimental support for async/await. That language may be your best bet for now if you want to code in this style on the JVM.
> It works for so many other countries

It even worked for the United States. Protectionism was a major component of our policy approach toward industrialization.

Protectionism as a mechanism for supporting the development of domestic capabilities is, historically, a well-justified policy position.

And if you look to highly protectionist economies today, you'll find mostly developing economies.

> Why not?

1. Most importantly, protectionism as a mechanism for inflating wages and/or spurring job growth in an already developed economy isn't nearly as well-tested an approach as examples of protectionism in America's past. Historic examples of US protectionism had the end goal of boosting domestic labor productivity. Modern protectionism risks doing exactly the opposite.

2. The diffuse benefits of free trade must be weighed against the more localized costs of free trade. It's a difficult calculus, but it shouldn't be ignored. Cheap stuff at Walmart and Amazon benefits a whole ton of people. Perhaps more importantly, access to foreign markets and capital creates a lot of jobs and wealth domstically. A lot of Americans are employed doing high-paying, high-quality work that is exported globally. (Including a lot of software engineers.)

3. The benefits to labor may be short lived if automation wipes out a lot of manufacturing jobs. In which case we've traded access to foreign markets and capital for maybe 10 years of jobs and a false sense of non-urgency in job re-training.
Yes, that is precisely what I meant.
