Philosophy discussion aside, what is going to be done for those displaced to automation? The whole "what is the goal of the economy" talk is nice, but at the end of the day, there are millions of people who are going to be unable to feed and house their families because of automation. What is going to be done for them?

> Raising the cost of tobacco contributes more than half the effect of getting smokers to quit and to stop teens from ever starting.

Yes, though it's also created a thriving black market for cigarettes, often trafficked from other states or otherwise sold without paying end-consumer taxes[0].

Separately, it's worth noting that the age for purchasing tobacco in NYC is 21, as opposed to 18 in most other places.

Furthermore, it's also just really damn hard to smoke in NYC. It's been banned in restaurants and bars for fifteen years, long before that was commonplace in other places. More and more buildings are smoke-free, which makes it less and less convenient for people to maintain a smoking habit.

[0] The cost of having an illegal market isn't always monetary. For example, Eric Garner was killed after an encounter in which police approached him because they claimed he was selling untaxed cigarettes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Eric_Garner

3. Will you offer a pipeline from repl.it to app stores? One click publish sort of thing.

I create a throw away account and say this almost every time a post hints at something like this: It is commonly taught at the school of public health at Cal that "your zip code is a stronger indication of your life expectancy (and quality) than the color of your skin". This has been known for years now.
Read all is simple, but is going to use a bunch of data. With a sync api, they cam justify doing small transfers as they happen (if connectivity is available), so the data is already there when you go to read it. Even if there's no background sync, sync on use can be faster to download than a full load on use, and you may be able to display the stale data while validating.
I've been on different forms of ssri, snris since the age of seven. I'm 32 now. It's debatable my parents used medication as a way of silencing me, as I was lashing out and making suicide attempts and violent threats as a response to my father's physical and sexual abuse.

Regardless, I've been on so long I don't believe I could function without them. Every time I've gone off, whether cold turkey or under a psychiatrist's supervision, I've fell into the deepest, even catatonic, depressions of my life. Even had a psychotic break which required shock treatment.

I've been in therapy, ptsd groups, religiously exercised, meditation, journaling, and a whole lot more, but the medication has always been there. Both sides of my family have a history of suicide, alcoholism, depression, and other mental illnesses.

I feel like an addict but also justify it, in that you wouldn't shame a diabetic for taking insulin.
Obviously, being a neural network, you won't know 90% (or more) of what's going on inside the model — which might therefore raise similar concerns.

This post focuses on the problem, but it's also a huge opportunity to build a product that can integrate from a bunch of different SaaS and provide a BI layer. I'm sure lots of folks are trying to do this, but I haven't seen it done well yet. It probably needs to be an enterprise product w/PS, because of the infinite number of SaaS combinations.

> Effectively, many people do. They open their web browsers, and search for "facebook", and click the first link. Don't even get me started about Google!

I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that the government should draw up regulation to change Googles or Facebooks behavior? What are you even arguing for?

1) No one is forcing people to use Google or Facebook, so people aren't limited by what they decide to promote or not.

2) People are forced to use one ISP (or live with DSL speeds or unreliable wireless) in most areas, both because of local monopolies, and otherwise for upstart costs.

These things are not comparable.

I thought the format of the information presented on this site would make the information hard to consume, but for some reason, it was the opposite.
> Is this correct?

Yes. While SSO is best implemented with a 3rd party caveat, you can also do it with simple delegation: The final verifier, i.e. the server that controls access to the resource, mints the initial macaroon and gives to the auth server. The auth server hands out time-limited attentuations of that to authenticated clients (who can further attenuate and hand to others).

The downside is that the auth server has full unlimited access to the resource, so compromising that "master" macaroon would be catastrophic. With 3rd party caveats, the resource owner can make a pact with the auth service (or multiple ones) such that a sign-off from an auth service is needed, but not sufficient, to access the resource.

> Since I discovered Macaroons I've been wanting to fiure out how well would they fit to build an auth server to restrict access to an API by user roles, requested instance or even API routes for example

Ultimately this boils down to defining a caveat language to describe these policies and building an evaluator for it. The paper has some guidelines for writing evaluators, but the gist of it is: Verify the integrity first. Make sure evaluation of each caveat can only ever restrict what's already allowed, and never escalate.
> The above is no reason to /disconnect/ from another human being.

Sure it is; finding out another person is incapable of rational thought is a great reason to remove them from your life. You can't fix stupid and why would you want to be connected to someone whom you're only ever going to continually disagree with because they lack the ability of reason?

> It's reason to get to know them better. Lead by example, not by force-feeding them your dogma.

You can't fix those people or lead them anywhere, they're the ones stuck in dogma, not him.

We need the force of law to compel good behavior and discourage bad behavior.

However, the EPA is still bound by existing law, which may mean that activists could force their hand through lawsuits.

The Administrative Procedure Act[1] may provide some leverage. If I understand it correctly, federal agencies can't just do whatever they like; they have to have good reasons and some sort of legislative mandate.

[6:55am] clock in, mandatory stand-up, bullshit, pretend OSHA stretches. Everybody claps out.

[7:00am] push juice carts full of merchandise from point a to point b, push empty juice carts from point b to point a

[10:15am] break, definitely not surfing HN on a work computer

[10:45am] push juice carts full of merchandise from point a to point b, push empty juice carts from point b to point a

[2:15pm] break, definitely not surfing HN on a work computer, also definitely not complaining about processes or the UI of the internal software on the public whiteboard.

[2:45pm] push juice carts full of merchandise from point a to point b, push empty juice carts from point b to point a

[5:30pm] clock out, drive home, maybe code

Alternately, instead of pushing juice carts, I can remove items from bins, count them and put them back, remove items from bins, count them (a different way this time) and put them back, or remove items from juice carts provided by other people doing what I do now, and put them into bins to be counted.

Robots bring the bins, but that's not nearly as fun as it sounds, because it means you have to stay in one spot for the entire shift while the work comes to you, because algorithms.

No matter what kind of business you’re in, it’s wise to diversify your sources of revenue. YT’s ad-focused monetization model disservices a variety of creators for a variety of reasons, many of which are mentioned in this NYTimes article.

Fan patronage in the likes of what Vidme (disclaimer: I’m a co-founder) and Patreon are offering help creators diversify their revenue streams and make content for their fans, rather than to please advertisers.

Google and Facebook aren’t well incentivized to offer this kind of model on platform because they can make considerably more money allocating resources towards optimizing ad revenue. Hunter Walk, an ex YT employee turned investor, writes about this in this blog post: https://hunterwalk.com/2017/03/26/why-were-paying-for-conten...

The similar number of downvotes may be explained because many users (i.e. me) don't like to downvote grey comments (unless they are very offensive or extremely wrong).

Moreover, I sometimes upvote grey comments that I don't like because they are too light grey (unless they are offensive or very wrong). I guess I'm not the only one. So this may explain that some comments stabilize in the same tone of grey.

So apparently there are 3 countries below SA. To find out what these odd places are I went to http://reports.weforum.org/global-gender-gap-report-2016/ran.... And apparently these 3 countries are Syria, Pakistan and Yemen! How is that even possible? Didn't Pakistan had a female prime minister? And I believe there were no rigorous restrictions on clothings or driving or working for women in any of these countries.

Yeah, wasn't trying to nitpick, just pointing out that as a file system guy (I did a pile of work on UFS at Sun) and an SCM guy, I don't think that we want people to think of what VMS had as a versioning file system.

To me, a versioning file system has a dag, the OS creates a node everytime you close it with modifications; if two people close at the same time then just like BK or Git you fork the graph, which means the next time someone opens it it has to be merged.

As I said elsewhere, it would be super cool to have such a thing for /etc, if you wack a config, debian wacks it, you upgrade, you then get all the features that an SCM system give you for merging. I dunno what Git gives you but BitKeeper does a kickass job of automerging and has a complicated but pleasant graphical file merge.
Yeah I generally swim at Hanlan's Point. The beach is pretty nice and if you're ok with some butts the lack of children or large crowds is kinda nice. Though during pride its pretty packed.
It was the first one that came up on google. I did see someone create a more recent one over on r/vim though.
But a developer doesn't want "a basic LAMP stack," they want something that matches what's in production. "It worked on my machine" is not a great way to do software development.

> 2. Do you think that native gui widgets could be emulated on the browser in order to do native development on your platform?

A lot of users request support for things like Python Tkinter for example, and while it's possible (e.g. stream via VNC) we always try to balance our users' requests and where we believe programming is headed. For example, there has been a massive shift from native GUI to web-based tech (even on the desktop via Electron).

> 3. Will you offer a pipeline from repl.it to app stores? One click publish sort of thing.

Yes, we're considering that and not just for React Native for other platforms as well. Imagine building a web service on Repl.it and hosting it with one click!

It's a tradeoff. Innovating employee #10 at a big succesful startup will be better-rewarded than your average maintaining employee at, say, Facebook today, but that "maintainer" is going to be far better rewarded than innovating employee #5 at some-startup-whose-new-thing-proves-unwanted.

At the time I programmed as a hobbyist to try and better myself--I wasn't always just playing video games after work. Eventually I got an office job as a temp doing data entry. I came to dislike my single task I was given, so I did what any lazy programmer would do and automated it. Eventually I was found sleeping at my desk while the program was running, and was reported to the boss. When I went to the boss's office to be reprimanded he instead referred me to the head of IT who then offered me a job as a programmer. That was about 5 years ago.
Since you don't seem set on a language, let me throw my hump in for OCaml. It's supports a functional style without forcing you to use it for everything; js_of_ocaml compiles OCaml's dense, high-performance bytecode to Javascript that apparently integrates well with web APIs.

Near as I can tell, the oil industry has been a series of boom/bust cycles since the '20s. OPEC has always been this way as well, it's always been a gentleman's agreement of sorts, not to mention the sanctioned countries operating outside of the open market. It's also important to note that "oil" varies quite a bit in its composition and the process to refine oil of different qualities requires significant refinery (re)configurations.

I need the first and second alarm because if I don't set 2 alarms, I'll actually turn off whatever alarm there is and go right back to sleep. The second one tends to serve as a warning and I might hit snooze once, but that's all that is necessary, usually. I've set one alarm and slept right through it. I guess its a reminder to me to take life more seriously on the second one.

There's a phrase that stood out to me:

>“We are falling behind our competitors in health. That is going to impact our productivity; that’s going to take away our competitive edge when it comes to the economy,” Mokdad said. “What we’re doing right now is not working. We have to regroup.”

What's the logic behind this? Out of curiosity. It's a morbid thing I hesitate to say, but from a purely utilitarian view isn't it better for a country— from a macro perspective— if people die as close as possible as they finish their working life and retire?

I might be completely off base there, and this is mostly a request for more information, not saying people should die early. As far as I'm concerned I hope we all live to 200.

Legislation and impeachment are unrelated. Trump has already committed multiple impeachable offenses. He hasn't divested from his businesses, he lies constantly to things that are easily proved lies, he's appointing family members white house positions, he's using his position as president to profit his own business by spending every weekend at a property he owns. Any one of these things qualifies as an impeachable offense.

It hasn't happened yet because "how" to do it requires republicans to vote to do it and they're not going to do that unless the public forces them to because it's their own party. The 25th amendment could happen, but only if Pence decides he's ready to dethrone Trump and can convince Trump's cabinet to get on board and together they can simply fire Trump.

You clearly don't have any idea of who 3G Capital is.[0] They are not a small consulting firm that somebody else hires. If they are investing in a company it is because they want to change the culture of the company. And to do that, they need to be the leader, not to follow.

Their philosophy is about use numbers. They use metrics for everything. From the water used in bathrooms to the necessity of pay for first class travel for the executives. And if a job can be done using just one person, use 3 people is almost a crime for them.

[1]Buffet: most managers cannot control their lust for hyper-activity, preferring instead to go out and buy something, they are constantly comparing themselves to companies inside and outside of their own industry, making changes to reflect the "new ways of thinking", which are in fact only the old ways with new fads inserted and most managers tend to have an exaggerated sense of their own abilities.

That is why he have a partnership with 3g Capital. They like to make things simple, not complex. They never spend money just because they have money. They like to cut and spend less even if everything is alright.[2] Sicupira: “Costs are like fingernails: they always have to be cut.”.

BTW They start investing in technology companies using InnovaCapital and invested in SnapChat, Apple and others. [3]
