But if we do that then things could look more like the FDA label and just literally repeat the words "fat", "protein," etc but translated into the local language.
That's not related to this at all. Anyone can lose their job and obviously having more money makes it easier to deal with.

This job (which has nothing to do with the person who inhabits the position) pays so much because comes with risk and responsibility to make sure the company earns value while protecting the livelihoods of all those other employees. The amount offered is what the market and the board has determined it takes to fill that position.

Many people do not want to and would not be able to run a company of this magnitude with the pressures involved.
This is the easy response to the article. It is partially true, but the article is more true than you're giving it credit for.

There are other articles about this (e.g. http://www.vulture.com/2017/02/video-games-are-better-than-r...) all confirming that unemployed people who play video games don't have the same increase in unhappiness that other unemployed people have. Which might be good for their short-term well-being, and is something to keep in mind for the post-scarcity UBI future if that ever happens, but in the medium term worrying, both for the individuals and for the economy generally.

There are currently sectors- like construction- which are having trouble finding labor as the economy picks back up. Are these people going to avoid re-entering the labor force even when they can get a job, and are we ready for the consequences of that? And even if they do, they'll be starting out way behind on building household wealth and work experience.
A note at the bottom says that it would also work for the NES, so I imagine that it would work for anything that uses that family of CPU.
The top dozen or so players (I think it was 13, last I checked) own over 75% of the hashrate.

There are 6 large banks in the US, with at least another 2 dozen managing upwards of $100 billion in assets.

No one has really explained to me why I'm better off trusting a cartel of unregulated miners to a cartel of regulated banks, especially when there's several dozen banks who have assets equal to the total value of cryptocurrencies just in the US.
My favourite in that regard is an anecdote shared by a customer; he said one of their techs had discovered (luckily in time) that the long-running automated backup script on a small, but important server wrote the backup volume to...

There's worse forms of escapism that are far less stimulating.

This is init, with the exceptional property that you write your scripts in Guile Scheme (an implementation of a standardised Lisp dialect). That should allow for a more robust and debuggable way to write init scripts.

GuixSD is kind of immature at the moment, and I have driver issues with linux-libre, but in the coming weeks I'll have the time to try to run it with a custom kernel that supports my hardware. If I succeed, as an Emacs user it'll become turtles all the way for me, which is very exciting (GuixSD is Guix + Shepherd + GNU + Linux Libre).

The criticism boggles my mind. If someone thinks they deserve more, they should make steps towards that (ex: leave for another company) instead of expecting for the money to drop in their lap.

Which are you comparing to? They are quite specialised, and are probably expensive as far as control operators go, but delimited continuations beat undelimited continuations every day of the week.

I remember benchmarking the coroutine generator from srfi-125 (??), and already for the simplest case the delimited continuations in guile (compared to the undelimited ones in the reference implementation) were about 3x faster.
How would you even measure that to tell who won the bet?

I don't know if drugs are less stimulating. Simulation of a different kind, to be sure, but probably not less in intensity.

Certain drugs, such as psychedelics, can also provide opportunities for personal reflection and growth.
Video games become the sole source of agency in many people's lives. This isn't just for the unemployed, but also for folks stuck in a job where they feel like they lack control. I couldn't understand at first why my fellow Googlers found so much time to play video games, but after a couple of months I understood. Afternoon Halo matches became the highlight of my day, I felt like I had more choice and responsibility in a 20 minute match than I did the rest of my programming work.
While the car damage may be an issue, a greater threat to the AirBnB model for cars is liability.

You don't have to trust the miners if they don't follow the rules their blocks are automatically discarded. The interesting thing with Bitcoin is you don't have to trust anyone else. It's also a push model vs the pull model of traditional banking.
I think the main benefit over most welfare systems is that your save overhead by giving it unconditionally to everyone rather than having to evaluate every case, while at the same time it prevents people from falling through the cracks on technicalities.

Possibly. Or the people who have it just die for unexplained reasons.
But HOW does it work? It's not clear by the article precisely how this is done. Possibly a triple call system. Three calls to that same number at once, each a millisecond after the other, and when the third hits the voicemail the other two disconnect immediately.
Well rendering I guess it was ok but with t9 and arrow keys actual use was horrendous.
I don't see a good explanation here about why they need to have a universal set of icons.

If they allowed a greater quantity of icons that work better for each region, why wouldn't this simply be better?

You fire people when they stopped producing values for the company.

In my opinion, mistakes should never be considered the person's fault. The development process should be designed to prevent human mistakes. If mistakes happen, that only means the process has been designed poorly.
We had something similar at one of my jobs, its hard to relay it in text but it was really a fun thing. Mind you this is at a fortune 100 company and the CIO would come down for the ceremony when we did it, to pass the award. We called it the build breakers award and we had a huge trophy made up at a local shop, with a toilet bowl on it. If you broke the build and took down other developers then the passing of the award ceremony was initiated, I would ping the CIO (as it was my dev shop) he would come down, and do a whole sarcastic speech about how the wasted money was all worth it because the developers got some screw off time, while the breaker fixed the build. It was all in good spirit though and people could not wait to get that trophy off their desk, it helped that the thing was probably as big as the Stanley cup.

I was planning to switch to data-only SIM anyway, don't need no phone number or voice mail.
The article doesn't describe how the technology works.

Due to the slow speed (100 voicemail/min) its likely what they are doing is initiating a call far enough for the phone system to busy out your phone, then very quickly placing a second call that the phone system sends straight to voicemail as your phone is busy. Once this call starts to hit voicemail, the original call is dropped.

I doubt phone companies let people directly send voicemail to people as they wouldn't be billing for that.
For the loan, if you are wary of dealing with the car company, a credit union can often give you a good rate with a more trustworthy agency. You get pre-approved, and walk into the dealership and walk out with the car.

Ok, I agree that all things being equal, a lovely big house is a lot nicer to live in than a cramped apartment, and that this has a greater effect on the person who stays at home more or does more chores.

I just find it depressing that women in 2017 will quite casually talk about divorcing someone for not being a sufficiently good provider of material things. I cannot imagine men talking like this.

I grew up believing the feminist rhetoric and hoping that my eventual spouse would be an equal partner, but the truth is that (most) women want somebody to provide for them, and a man's value in the relationship marketplace is still largely determined by his ability to provide.
Wasn't thinking of that. I assumed the phone company was complicit and selling this as a service to the telemarketers, but we can't really know if the article avoids any implementation details.
You have to trust those miners in aggregate -- they have the power to change the rules, effectively, since the vast majority of network users will follow the majority of hashing power.

Similarly, if any one bank doesn't follow the rules, they get kicked out of the financial network, to similar effect. You don't have to trust a bank, you trust the banking (and legal) system.

> The GNU Daemon Shepherd or GNU Shepherd, formerly known as GNU dmd

dmd was short for "daemon management daemon". Basically, it's what powers all services running on GNU Guix instead of something else, like systemd.

I think this new name may sound "friendlier", but at the cost of precision. I immediately realized what dmd would be, but I had no idea what GNU Shepherd would be about.

I wish they included all of the fees in their quoted prices. I wanted to rent quoted at $108, but it was $135 by time I got to checkout. Given the unknowns of renting a car from a private individual, and a similarly priced car being available from a rental car agency, I rented from the agency instead.
> Without a legend, I wouldn't know what they mean, and if your icons need a legend, then they really aren't doing their job effectively.

They are presumably trying to establish these icons so that they will eventually become common and recognizable to many people.

Not if the auto loan is say 5 years and they're offering 1.5% financing. The 5 year treasury rate is currently 1.76%.

So they're losing 26bp of yield for taking on (the albeit limited levels of and partially diversified away) the credit risk?
I don't know much about honey badgers, I've never seen them in the wild but their very distant cousins (also in the 'dog like' sub-order) the raccoons are incredible. On a property in Canada I found a raccoon family living in the attic above the chicken coop...

It had been a mystery for a long time how the raccoons got in and out of the chicken coop without leaving any traces other than dead or entirely disappearing chickens. They basically set themselves up on top of a fast food restaurant. Hungry? Let's go grab some chicken.
I wish the people who designed APIs would constrain themselves to libraries that could be validated as types. I rarely see insane data structures for APIs built in static languages, and I say this because my company has some absurd APIs which would not be so bad if the developers were constrained a bit.
> Wouldn't it also need to be cross-platform in that case?

Swift is absolutely cross-platform. I've used it a lot on Linux. I think I even prefer it to Rust for things like server applications.

I think Swift may even be available on Windows now. But it's definitely available and rapidly maturing on Linux.

And having struggled with large code bases in dynamic languages for years, I'm very happy that statically-typed languages are resurgent now.

I've used Turo for a 3 week rental and I learned a few things.

I wanted to buy a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, but as you may know those are enthusiast vehicles and not without their quirks, so I wanted to live with it awhile and really be sure that was what I wanted. Also I was going elk hunting in Idaho for 2 weeks and I didn't own a car so I thought, how perfect?

The trip and the Jeep were great, but it got me thinking about the economics of the whole thing. I noticed that my "host" I was renting from had about a dozen identical Jeep Wranglers on Turo, not multiply listed but completely different vehicles. I realized that the "Uber landlord" model was already taking hold here. I did the math - Wranglers are some of the lowest depreciating vehicles right now even with heavy mileage, and even with 2-3 days of rental a month the owner would likely break even at the end of the loan. Interesting business.
McDonald's has made billions from standardizing operations as much as possible across the world.

Economies of scale, consistent printed materials.

Rather than have 109 variants of the icons printed on 109 variants of the packaging you standardize as much of the package as you can, allows you to print larger volumes and distribute them more easily.

> Oh come on. And what's the kernel for GuixSD? Linux.

They called you out on a minor mistake: Guix being a package-manger of sorts and GuixSD being a Linux distro (built on Guix).

And Guix doesn't run anything like dmd or systemd. GuixSD does.

It's not a big deal though. Honest mistake to make.

-if the post-scarcity UBI future ever happens-

I live in a country that throws away half of its prepared food. Like we're not even talking about some chopped up animal corpse that sits out for too long and has to be discarded before it goes rancid - in the US we strait-up assemble food in some factory, wrap it plastic, burn fuel shipping said wrapped and assembled food to a store halfway across the country, unwrap the food, put it in another container, and then at the end of the day just toss the remaining contents of the container into the garbage bin because you've got a few more tons of shipped and prepared food already in storage that needs to be sold. This is the post-scarcity future.

You are putting all kinds of words in my mouth and completely overlooking things I actually said. I see no means to engage you in good faith because this so strongly comes across as you hanging your crap on me and making no good faith effort to actually understand anything I actually said.
I second what EGreg said. You have the additional problem that "brain regions" aren't composed of cells, they're composed of circuits, and neurons themselves come in multiple kinds that have different roles in neural circuits. Then you get the problem that saying, "it's circuits built into regions built out of neurons" doesn't make any predictions about the system as a whole.

So, at the very least, this stratospherically high-level overview is incomplete.
Nobody was made to buy a home they couldn't afford. They wanted it, and someone was willing to sell it to them at near-predatory rates.

Nobody had a gun held to their head to sign a contract.
If you finance through the dealership you can negotiate a lower selling price because the loan itself has value that they can sell. (At that point you refinance or pay it off. Make sure to ask them to waive the fees for the loan, too.)

Had two car-owning friends that did RelayRides (now Turo) during the peak sharing economy a few years ago. Both cars were involved minor collisions within months. Turns out renting in the city to people that don't drive much, might be prone to accidents. Making sure cars weren't parked on street-cleaning side and dealing with tickets also seemed like a huge hassle. Cars have a really high administrative burden compared to homes, especially when things go wrong, which they do at a higher rate.

I've rented cars myself via Turo a couple times in the past few years. Two of the guys were operating their own small rental businesses (5+ cars, parked around on local streets). At a couple hundred bucks profit per vehicle per month, depending on utilization, having a few cars like that seems the only way to make it worth the while. As a part time job of sorts.

In the East-Bay, AAA is making a massive investment in car-sharing with GiG. I wonder if it will work out financially given state of the world with cheap ride-sharing by Uber/Lyft.
So that’s why US books have the title the wrong way around?

A friend of mine felt the same way. He was undergoing a tragedy in his family, and he would play video games after returning from the hospital at night. It's funny, looking at him and talking to him, you'd never think he'd be a huge video game player, but it really was a source of stress relief. He could focus his unspent frustrations and hurt into competing online, and the way he explained it, I think it kept him sane during those times.

It's funny, I can tell how in control of my life by gauging how much I play games. When I start obsessing about playing games (I like playing them, but when I feel I have to play them to escape), I know something needs to change in my life. I'm saying it's that way for everyone, but it really is a great tool for stress relief for some.
