I've seen a friend's profile duplicated pretty completely and convincingly on Facebook, including pictures. The only real clue for the fake was that the person was already in my friends list and he could verify that it wasn't real.

Facebook theft is just one example, we have real identity theft that screws people in other ways. We don't need secret vetting processes where lazy employees click through profiles to auto-deny people. We need something much more disciplined.

My concern about UBI is not the initial situation, but what happens in a democratic society, when the majority of citizens can continually vote for increases in the level of UBI, which will be paid for by the small number of the richest in society. If $20000 UBI annually is good, why not vote to increase it to $40000? Or $60000? Or $1,000,000? And will "the rich" be happy to keep paying more and more, while their level of work remains the same? Isn't there some level of taxation at which those people would quite rationally either work (and earn) less, or go live in another country that doesn't have a similar tax burden?

I feel there is something very different between the richest 80% choosing to tax themselves more to support the poorest 20%, vs the poorest 80% or 90% forcing the richest 10 or 20% to hand over an ever-increasing amount of money. Even if you think that is morally correct, I don't think it would work
My experience is very anecdotal, but I once heard about a teacher at a Japanese middle school that was like that. He got all his work done and was good at his job, but did typical 8-hour-days and left at 5.

The person telling me about him said while nobody showed any outward hostility towards him, he was kind ignored when it came to camaraderie between the staff, and perhaps even ostracized in a way. He seemed okay with not being too close with his coworkers though.

At the same time, I wasn't really there, so there could be more to it.

I like this book a lot - especially making it available to read free in HTML. It's good to see practical information about parsing and grammar rather than plainly theoretical - although there's room and a for need both.

US companies and individuals were already taking up the challenge, mostly by arguing for this agreement. The agreement's purpose is to set common standards, so as to defuse the race-to-the-bottom/prisoner's dilemma mechanisms of markets.

Companies often invite regulation when they want to do something for moral reasons that would out them at a disadvantage in the market. It's a common mistake to assume that industries object to all regulation: think of the small construction business where the owner still works himself, or cares for his people: he'll be among those profiting most from increased safety requirements.
Product market fit and further growth are generally pretty correlated, though

I agree with you in general. But I suspect it is a little better than that.

For instance, you remark

> But that aeration pump they say you need on page 315, how are you to know who makes one that will last, and is supported well?

And to that I would say that first of all there are general strategies that can be applied to answering questions like this (systematically breaking down the problem). Second, with a very small amount of training in how to research and learn things it's often possible to track down that indirection. To pick on your specific example, I bet you that there is a textbook out there that college civil engineering majors use in their class when they study public works and it probably has a chapter on pumps that would at least help you figure out the specs necessary.

There is also an argument that by omitting facts that can change based on location and time (companies go out of business) the information becomes more timeless and easily propagated.

But like I said I agree with you in general. I think part of the problem is that the scope of human knowledge is becoming ever more complex and high level. In general people seem to accept that "getting the scoop from the grizzled veterans" is a necessary part of the process.
The situation is no different than it is now. People can vote for welfare increases or lower taxes, or vote for increased taxes on the rich.

I don't see it that way. I see Trump as a true populist and for the first time in my life I feel like regular people have a voice. Maybe it's all fake, but that's how I see it. Laugh all you want to. Trump has been remarkably consistent in his application of policy so far, despite being called a flip-flopper and all the ridiculous and petty non-scandals that the media and leftist operatives have dreamed up. I'm rooting for the guy. People need to start seeing past their own ideological lens and realize there is more going on than the simplistic narratives and identity politics that the media manipulates the masses with.
sigh national polling wasn't wrong, and hillary won the national vote to match the polls. it was the state polling that was off; and national polls don't poll the electoral college.

Anyway, what you're saying is wrong - my parents are extremely conservative, voted trump, and are very upset about this.

Why? They live in a sinking state where you can actually see climate change(LA).

Many things have become factionalized - but climate and healthcare are much less than people think.

I think the real problem right now is the right is engaging in identity politics and victimhood - ironically the same things they accuse others of. "Trump can never do anything right in the eyes of others" and "I like this ebcause the other side doesn't" reak of it.

Sure, but those kinds of changes happen on the order of thousands of years. The climate change we're talking about preventing is something that, again, will affect us now and even moreso in the coming /decades/ due to anthropological causes.

Frankly, if we're going to die out because of "natural cycles" so be it. I just don't want our species to die out because of something we could have prevented by being less selfish/exploitative.
In a court of justice, sure. In the court of public opinion however ... If it appears as if Tesla is punishing a victim of harassment for speaking up, the hit to their reputation will hurt.

As an employer, I like contract-to-hire because it gives me a chance to learn more about the employee -- and vice versa. Most of these have worked out quite well, a few have ended in... spectacular fashion. Point is, I have always felt that contract to hire (when I don't already know the person) reduces the risk of a "bad match" on both sides.
There are reasons to object to the accord that have nothing to do with a so-called "anti-science policy".

The actual wording of the accords has little to do with science and more to do with massive welfare obligations and handicapping the US economy with no requirements from China for decades.

That's only speciously correct in the sense that the technology had to be there before the economy could use it. Online advertisements and email spam predate HTML by quite a bit, and ad-funded sites (c.f. Yahoo) were some of the very first successful businesses to be built on the platform.

Seems to me as though Bitcoin mining is kind of a backdoor way to move Chinese money offshore circumventing capital controls. Pay for your electricity in yuan, then sell your Bitcoin anywhere in the world. In fact I speculate that may be the main reason Bitcoin mining is so popular there; it's essentially subsidized by people wanting to move money offshore. Perhaps this is cracking down on that? There's so little detail in the article it's impossible to tell.

Climate change denial has been a Republican position for decades. Trump is on record saying that the whole idea is a hoax. There might be legitimate reasons to pull out of this agreement, but those are not their reasons.
A few thoughts as a foreign worker in a Japanese startup:

* Foreigners get more leeway. I have colleagues that do a strict 40 hours/week.

* The overtime culture isn't strictly enforced. It comes about organically. Your team agrees to deliver a task with a tight deadline. You can go home early, but your colleagues will unquestioningly pick up the slack. Instead of them leaving the office at 10pm, now they stay to midnight. It is easy to feel guilty about leaving at reasonable time.

* There is a lot of praise and admiration for the employees that demonstrate hard work.

* There seems to be an unwritten rule that you stay till your boss goes home. Teams where the boss works a reasonable schedule, also seem to work reasonable hours. If you have a workaholic boss with no personal life then you are in trouble.

* For a lot of young Japanese it appears their colleagues are their only social circle.

* There is a lot of after-work demands on your time. It is common to have work-related dinners and drinks.
Wow, that abstract is quite simply epic:

The cell danger response (CDR) is the evolutionarily conserved metabolic response that protects cells and hosts from harm. It is triggered by encounters with chemical, physical, or biological threats that exceed the cellular capacity for homeostasis. The resulting metabolic mismatch between available resources and functional capacity produces a cascade of changes in cellular electron flow, oxygen consumption, redox, membrane fluidity, lipid dynamics, bioenergetics, carbon and sulfur resource allocation, protein folding and aggregation, vitamin availability, metal homeostasis, indole, pterin, 1-carbon and polyamine metabolism, and polymer formation. The first wave of danger signals consists of the release of metabolic intermediates like ATP and ADP, Krebs cycle intermediates, oxygen, and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and is sustained by purinergic signaling. After the danger has been eliminated or neutralized, a choreographed sequence of anti-inflammatory and regenerative pathways is activated to reverse the CDR and to heal. When the CDR persists abnormally, whole body metabolism and the gut microbiome are disturbed, the collective performance of multiple organ systems is impaired, behavior is changed, and chronic disease results. Metabolic memory of past stress encounters is stored in the form of altered mitochondrial and cellular macromolecule content, resulting in an increase in functional reserve capacity through a process known as mitocellular hormesis. The systemic form of the CDR, and its magnified form, the purinergic life-threat response (PLTR), are under direct control by ancient pathways in the brain that are ultimately coordinated by centers in the brainstem. Chemosensory integration of whole body metabolism occurs in the brainstem and is a prerequisite for normal brain, motor, vestibular, sensory, social, and speech development. An understanding of the CDR permits us to reframe old concepts of pathogenesis for a broad array of chronic, developmental, autoimmune, and degenerative disorders. These disorders include autism spectrum disorders (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), asthma, atopy, gluten and many other food and chemical sensitivity syndromes, emphysema, Tourette's syndrome, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), traumatic brain injury (TBI), epilepsy, suicidal ideation, organ transplant biology, diabetes, kidney, liver, and heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer and Parkinson disease, and autoimmune disorders like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

> A- Ads do not manipulate people into buying things against their own interests. Businesses who sell great products that people want don't just magically find their customers. They find customers with ads.

I think that's a pretty rosy description of things. Advertisements are an effective way to influence peoples' choices. Sometimes good products get advertised, sure; and sometimes when you jump out of an airplane without a parachute, you get lucky and land in a pile of snow.

> B- You're free to use an ad-blocker, and websites are free to block your use of the site.
>
> C- I assume you enjoy the web, and that a lot of effort is put into the sites that you enjoy. Do you expect all of this for free?

Absolutely! I don't think many reasonable people would object to anything here. I personally don't block ads on most of the sites I enjoy, and I have to problem with websites paywall-ing me if I use adblock.
Depends on the terms. In most startups board can only match the offer.

A challenge about journalistic summaries of court decisions is that the court decisions usually address only the application of one area of law. (Also, they are often not even making a final decision, although this particular decision is final on this issue.) Here, the Supreme Court was considering whether a patent holder can assert that a patent lets them prevent some activity with respect to a patented product even after the product has been sold (in this case, when a consumer sells a patented printer cartridge to a remanufacturer who refills it with fresh ink and resells it to another consumer). The court said that existing patent law does not, in fact, include a right to prohibit this activity.

However, this is not the same as finding a blanket right to repair things; there might be other legal reasons why manufacturers can try to restrict repairs. The court did not decide whether any of those other reasons are or are not valid. One example that comes up a lot and that some of my colleagues are actively working on is software copyrights, and particularly §1201 of the DMCA as applied to embedded software.

It's also worth remembering that most U.S. court decisions that examine parties' legal rights are interpreting statutes or contracts (whose text can potentially be changed in response to the court decision), not evaluating constitutional rights (which are difficult to change). So a lot of decisions that say a party has a right to do something mean to say that a particular law or contract did not prevent the party from doing it. But another law or contract—including a future revised version of that same one—might conceivably still prevent it.
When it first came out I was so focused on the environment (especially in a 3D theater) that I didn't even notice how bad the bodies and mouths looked.

I recently rewatched it and it does not hold up well. Hopefully when they come out with special anniversary editions in the future, they'll redo all of that with the latest technology.

I wonder how tightly tied your perception of 'delicate' and 'elegant' is with 'impractical' / 'less capable'?

It reminds me of this blog post on the topic of 'cuteness' in Japanese culture:

> Female protagonists in Japanese genre productions have to be cute, apparently. And cuteness is, I’m told, context-dependent. Big anime eyes and tiny pointed noses may be necessary but they are not sufficient. There must also be jeopardy.

> But instead he's seriously undermined people's ability to trust in the United States maintaining its international obligations for anything except the shortest periods of time.

Possibly.

Although it's worth noting that his international arrangement was never ratified by the legislative branch, as was done in most other countries. This was ratified by Executive Order.

If the morale of the story is for other countries to beware of treaties not ratified by the Senate, honestly, that's not so bad.
Most people sounds like overstatement. Personally the idea, "to give your child any money as a loan and then let the child claim those assets as his or her own income or saving [...] in support of a loan application," strikes me as obvious fraud. Without data, I would doubt that most homebuyers follow this practice.

I think the author's argument wasn't that this practice is not or should not be a crime, but that the potential criminal penalty - 30 years! - is far too high.
In 2008, the overwhelming amount of money and support for that referendum to make gay marriage illegal came from Utah. That same sort of effect cannot happen in Texas in all the executive/legislative offices. Also, in California, Proposition 187 mobilized the Latino/Hispanic vote to help turn the state blue (obviously before 2008) having less fundamentalists in offices of power lessens their bully pulpit so to speak. Texas minorities have not been incentivized by the GOP with an equivalent move in Texas so the historic low turnout among Latinos/Hispanics there has been consistent. They could stage a revolution through the ballot box in the coming years if people would just show up to vote. http://www.texasmonthly.com/burka-blog/latinos-wont-turn-tex...

Also, after Proposition 8 in California, California did not doubled down on hate against gay/lesbians with more measures. Texas had an equivalent vote for equal rights in Houston, it got lots of attention, and it went from winning to losing. The tide turned so much that the state of Texas double down on moves against gay/lesbian rights, the lege moved to not permit cities to have equal rights ordinances and keeps throwing bathroom bills against the wall spaghetti style.
But that doesn't make sense? The Paris agreement was NOT ratified by the Senate.
