It's a state change. As with the introduction of the NHS in the UK, you'd need to bring it in pretty much all at once, with a significant value so people see the benefits.

Otherwise, the costs add up fast, but the impact does not. eg, even picking a smaller country than the US -- the UK has 70 million people; giving them £14 per year would be a £1bn item in the budget but £14 would not have visible impact to society-as-a-whole, and would be cancelled quickly as an unaffordable indulgence.

It's happened before recently -- eg, the UK's Child Trust Fund policy gave every child born a one-off £250 investment gift (a relatively small sum but with a multiplier effect as it would grow over time and prompt relatives to add to the account). The £250 from the government was cancelled within six years as unaffordable. As the benefits only get seen later (when the children grow up), there's a valley of death for the policy where the cost of it kills it.

Curiously, Iain Duncan Smith's "universal credit" seems about the closest governments have come to a national scheme headed towards being a basic income (or at least a negative income tax), with the idea of at least first eliminating the benefits eligibility cliffs that existed in the system. But it's not been plain sailing, and again started being taken apart before it could be rolled out or "got right". (Any government can be expected to get it wrong first, you just hope they'll get it right later.) So has comparatively little likelihood of growing to be a universal basic income or negative income tax.
I guess it's because we the engineering community have done a bad job of explaining to outsiders how good engineering can reduce costs.
Hard to say. It could be an organized crime gang, terrorists, state actor, someone not making enough money legitimately in a 3rd-world country, bored middle-aged techie or teenager wanting to "get away" with something. There may or may not be levels of management, contractor(s) or multiple participants. (Shady "businesses" most definitely have subcontractors. Heck, I know of someone whom got their degrees paid for by a shady illegal gambling outfit.)
May be, but at least it seems they're aware of problems in this case:

It was not my intention to use “communist/anarchist” as something people ought to be afraid of; it is merely completely irrelevant to this issue.

I doubt that Stallman himself would consider them relevant since he, in my experience, takes every opportunity to disassociate himself from communism and anarchism; he is instead concerned with copyright, software patents, and other impediments to scientific progress. Therefore, to try to drag those former kinds of ideas into a thread specifically about the latter is to deliberately cause inflammatory and irrelevant discussion, and also to cause opponents of these former ideologies to connect the two in their minds, creating FUD about the latter.
Is it not the fact that macros can be defined and, more importantly, redefined at runtime? If so, would that not mean that macros must also be expanded at runtime?
Isn't the whole purpose of this IME to facilitate remote updates and management of systems? As for patching hardware, Intel does have the ability to apply microcode patches. At the least they are able to disable features that are buggy.
I used to have a setup like this and those described in other comments, but it just became too hard to worry about. Synology updates breaking things, missing parts on newsgroups, etc. I've replaced it with Netflix and occasionally paying for specific content not available there (like Westworld). It's just 10x easier and about the same price anyway. I fly enough that I get to watch all the movies I want to on IFE. I just don't have the patience or time to put up with the inconveniences of piracy any more.
"It is logical for couples to decide that the person who earns less, usually a woman, does more of the household chores and child care, Ms. Kerr said. But it’s also a reason women earn less in the first place. “That reinforces the pay gap in the labor market, and we’re trapped in this self-reinforcing cycle,” she said."
I sympathize with what you're saying. But if this were truly such a problem, wouldn't you expect jurisdictions that enforce non-competes to have a more robust startup ecosystem than jurisdictions that don't?

You can describe algorithms using normal English perfectly fine. You can then use normal English to prove the correctness of your claims. This is what almost all papers about algorithms from the theoretical CS community do.
In other words, rest.

Why did the relationships wind up being short term?
Common definitions of atrocity associate it with intention. That leaves Genghis Khan, another totalitarian.
I once built a prototype that was supposed to identify gamblers who were going off the deep end. It was billed to me as a way to help people before they ruined their lives. I found out it was marketed to casinos as a way to keep players in the system longer by enforcing cool down periods. Players who go too far sometimes don't come back, or not to the same casino or type of gambling.
The thing is that Netflix doesn't really care about "the nerds". They don't need to. I'd wager that less than 0.005% of their user base will actually care enough about this to cancel their subscription. If these changes mean that their content is harder to get and less technically inclined people become paying customers, then that hit is totally worth it.
Wonderful article! "Smalltalk, like Lisp, runs in the same context it’s written in."

I have been programming professionally in Common Lisp (off and on) since the 1980s but there is something equally magical about Smalltalk. I have often thought that Smalltalk could be the language I use after I retire (I am in my 60s and I will probably stop working in about ten years).
It's going to be an interesting test. No government that I know of was able to both squelch information while also winning technologically and economically.

But, I'm not sure if any of those previous governments paid their scientists and engineers well. So, maybe China can win by just paying everyone off.

This is a clickbait title and should be changed.

This would require learning more about the entire system along with gaining business experience. This means you will need to have a pretty good grasp on the security and various operating systems and their benefits (Unix, Linux, Mac, Windows, z/OS, etc.) Along with various programming languages to understand the pros and cons of each for solving program requirements (Python, Ruby, C, C++, Rust, Objective-C, Swift, JavaScript, Java, etc.) along with the various forms of databases (ORACLE, MSSQL, MySQL, MariaDB PostgreSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, etc. and their associated query languages).

You may also need to know about the various virtualization technology and which one would be better depending on if you need the system to be private, internet facing or both (VMWare, Citrix, KVM, Hyper-V, etc.). You will also need to understand TCP/IP, UDP and the associated networking terminology and equipment available, as you normally also need to know about switching and routing, storage arrays, storage systems, hard drive and SSD types and the pros and cons of them.

As ultimately you would be the person to design an entire system with security, scalability, confidentiality, availability and integrity in mind and be able to break up the work into tasking and plans for the organization. Normally a title like this is reserved for those creating large systems due to the vast amount of experience that is required. An example would be a technical architect to build a nation wide fully automated and redundant web hosting platform for hosting the top government websites with the requirement of the sites never being down and never loosing data.

This means you will need to learn how to build highly secure and robust automated build systems for code and infrastructure. This way if you loose a system you can auto schedule the purchase and installation of new hardware or spin up a new virtual machine without having to do this manually.

Best job to get you started is a job as a network or systems administrator. I would recommend starting with a small business that hosts a few websites, then move up to larger businesses. If you want the ultimate challenge I would recommend working for a government agency that hosts thousands of high profile sites that cannot be unavailable and require 100% uptime.

You could do all of these things internally but you will not get the real life business environment people to people experience. As it is hard to make estimates on tasks you have never done before or worked with experienced people that do those tasks on a regular basis. You do not have to master all of these things but you should have done many of them with your own hands in a full-time job at some point.

Base requirement is being in a senior level position in the IT and security field, since it does require a nice bit of years of experience of hands on work and project management experience to be good at the job.
Oh shoot, I missed the word "code", that's why it didn't make sense to me! Sorry, removing my comment...
It's still better than maintaining windows, or even OS X.

Ideally they would use a nice maintainable linux distro, but no one is doing that right now, AFAIK.
How can there be a valid meeting of the minds if you're expecting me not to notice my words have been tampered with?
Having never done assembly, but other languages, I'm really enjoying HRM. The first bit I got through really quickly, and am seeing some of your points, but it is definitely getting me thinking in a different way.
If they don't care about the nerds then why bother with blocking rooted devices?
If your phone is unlocked, you will no longer find the app in the Play Store, or any updates to it. If it's already installed or sideloaded, it will work, for now.
whoops, thank you for that input. Just fixed it.... I tried both of those links. It's pretty cool. It is very similar to what I've created except I took UI cues from Audible's mobile app. ...Man, just goes to show how big the world is. I thought I was a bit original on that. Thank you for sharing.

> Are we doing students a disservice by sending them out into the world without proficiency or even familiarity with Office?

No. As long as you understand how a spreadsheet works, and how to use some sort of Word clone, it's trivial to learn the specifics of Microsoft Office.

On the other hand, we are doing the world a service by promoting tools that are more readily available, and less proprietary. It would, however, be more helpful to replace Google Docs with free software like LibreOffice.

Do you guys hire new grads?
fingers and teeth all there; clearly not foul play; maybe accidental overdose during interrogation?

You presume every strategic professional murder involves a torture session. Operating in hostile territory doesn't guarantee time, safehouses or personnel to cover every action every time. Norway clearly wasn't clued into the cloak and dagger games happening in their territory. Whoever did this, they weren't behaving with legal immunity. They may have had to organize a team on short notice, and act fast. Some people just don't have the stomach to cut off fingers and rip out teeth. If pressed for time, and blocking exfiltration is more important that learning details, and they were short on resources, a team might skip the dungeon.

possible suicide, why not?

Pills, gasoline, secrecy, destroyed evidence and fake foreign passports all sound like parts adding up to professional homicide.

latent poison as murder weapon; she did it to hasten a very slow death; she had bad skin;

Nope. Doubt it. Sedatives are a pretty classic complement to a professional murderer's toolkit. They packed her with barbituates to calm her down, and knock her out then took her some place quiet, and did her in. The skin cream, if anything, hints that maybe she was British. Eczema is a pretty common hereditary problem with the Brits, and this is a BBC story, after all.

polonium, biological weapons, secret laboratories, tooth decay, dentistry, mushrooms...

I'm sorry but I think you should get over the Litvinenko assassination, put down the comic books and come to terms with the fact that many professional murders are not nearly so elaborate. This is from the 1970's and these kinds of things weren't trying to be tales of science fiction. A hit was a hit back then. Getting shot, stabbed, blown up or in this case, drugged and burned is pretty much how things went down.

unmarked clothes, no giveaway

Makes a lot of sense. I agree this strengthens the spy narrative.
Don't look for someone looking for you. Look for someone who wants the same things in life as you, then ask them if they want to join you.

How are you supposed to find someone not looking for you but someone who wants the same things in life as you? make friends and get to know them and preferably in group settings. Your intention shouldn't be to make friends to find a wife, but to truly just be friends. Naturally, one of them might become your best friend.

After that, If they want the same things in life as you, it comes down to convincing them that it's a great idea to marry you. This problem can probably be its own Ask HN. Silver lining is if you fail to convince them, you probably still keep them as a good friend because reality might hit you that you may never establish a family, so the next best thing would be to fill your life with people you love and build a "family" that way.

IMO, overcoming the friend zone with your best friend is a better problem to have than just finding someone who will marry you and living the rest of your life with them because if you solve the former, you have a better chance of a happy life as opposed to your chances after solving the latter.

Sure - it's _possible_ to patch the microcode - but can your dentist's receptionist do it? Or your mom? Unless there's a tool that automatically applies security microcode updates as easily and as widespread as automatic Windows updates - it's really only of use to enterprise/corporate networks... I've never bumped into a small or medium sized business that runs remote management for all the machines on their office networks...
Just a reminder when discussing any item with Mac in the title. Please make sure not to make any comments related to the content of the item. Please restrict yourself to noting how bad Apple and Mac are, and how you have spent the last 6 months working full time to build a Huckintosh that almost works except that you have to sacrifice a chicken on the keyboard to get WiFi to work. Extra points if you can reference irrelevant Steve Jobs references.

Ya, because studios want (require) DRM. My point is that Netflix has done a lot to reduce the obnoxiousness and hassle of DRM compliance.
I think the article is trying to get at the question of how long magic can last. Magic comes from a perfect formula but eventually that formula grows weak and ineffective. Often companies will try and throw money at the formula hoping to keep it working without realizing that people have built up a tolerance to it. Instead thy have to invest in another bold recipe. That can be risky but effective. Look at Microsoft.

Are there any terms which are not vague?
My wife makes almost 2X what I make, and I earn a great Silicon Valley wage. So I end up doing a lot more of the child rearing for our kids, which is fine with me. However, we are currently dealing with the situation where she might be able to catapult her already great career, which would entail us moving to a less desirable location of the country, and I would likely lose my job and would need to find a lower paying remote programming job, so I'm definitely in the situation that is talked about in the article.

That’s a weird notation. I would have preferred “30.000 metric tons”.
I have VLC installed and Messages refused to save/play .ogg's even though it shows up with a VLC cone (including 3D touch "hard press" menu).
This fuzzing is interesting stuff. Does anyone know of an in-process or otherwise lib for the JVM? Findbugs is mentioned in here but I'm not sure if that does fuzzing (maybe a plugin?).

Seems in my mind to be a nice complement to achieving code-coverage with testing i.e. whereas unit/integration testing might test the various code paths with a few good/bad values, this then throws every possible input value at them to see what breaks.
Beautifully written. While I see the horror, it read more like a romance. The author loves fire despite her ruthlessness
The connotation is that hiring employees away from other companies is a bad thing. It's only a bad thing if you're an employer. It's great for labor.

The mandate is there to prevent the funding crisis that is slowly taking place with any other defined benefit plan, e.g. https://www.google.com/search?aq=f&hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&btnme...

For a while the key to a successful pension plan was to assume that the stock market will grow at some unrealistic number, and if your numbers did not add up, just throw in another unrealistic number to boost the forecast.

As it currently stands, the global economy is awash in capital, so low rates and tepid economic growth are here to stay.

Outside of Thomas Picketty no one is able to run a large-scale investment fund that consistently generates annual returns of 10%+ year-over-year.
Yeah, who'da thunk that saying technically inaccurate things on a site full of pedantic nerds would meet resistance. :P

I agree that we need to promote real free software alternatives.

That still ignores the fact that Google Docs is quality, usable, and much more readily available than LibreOffice/etc.

What we are really talking about here is the move from Microsoft tools to Google tools. That is a move that is entirely positive. Microsoft Office is one of the most - if not the most - prolific suites of proprietary tools in the world right now. Maintaining Windows is an absolute headache, especially when it is constantly being used by hundreds of children/teenagers. OS X is easier, but still not a good alternative. Out of the options most educators find available, Chromebooks are definitely the best.

To convince the next generation not to rely on Microsoft's proprietary software is a huge step in the right direction. While I share your concerns, they are not new, and I welcome this change.
How did u manage the sync between the audio and words? ... In my little demo, I've used IBM Watson's Speech to text API to analyze the audio. I used those results - it had timestamps, to the recognized words - and used some algorithms to match it with the text. Naturally, it did not catch like 20% of the words but was able to massage it enough that it looked smooth.
If you have compiled code, you have to recompile the code when you change a macro. It's not done automagically.

If you have interpreted Lisp code, then the code can use the new macro automagically.
Ahh, but now we're talking about totalitarianism. That probably is better supported, historically, than what had been posited.

(Also, I'd argue, totalitarianism is largely orthogonal to political organization.)

In terms of data points for drawing these sorts of conclusions, our history as a species isn't all that long.
Nooo, noo, markets claim to offer information about what people want but the way they are laid out right now, with all the manufactured consent peppering choices, it's not really fair to claim that capitalism reflects "what people want" in the industrialized world, today.
Can you give an example of an industry like this?
Excellent perspective
Why must the bounds of our discourse be drawn by the interests of the author of a piece? I don't see any reason to do that and it certainly isn't the determinant of what is 'relevant'
And TRAC is all about macros...

TRAC is lots of fun. I read about it in Nelson's book, Computer Lib/Dreams, when I was a freshman at Illinois. That spring, my Dad bought an Altair and I wrote a version of Trac for it, in assembly. Had support for bignum arithmetic, in ASCII :-)

Later, when I learned about tail recursion, I was happy to figure out that my implementation was indeed properly tail recursive.
I'm confused by this title. To the extent the article supports the title, it places blame not on motherhood, but the larger imbalance in expectations toward domestic responsibilities. However, it also notes that raises are lower, and lateral transfers are less productive for women.
