Perhaps Stripe just has that much cash.

Paypal is far bigger Stripe, so it's not that.
Hardly. It just seems a bit presumptuous to claim firm knowledge of the fundamental, low level workings of one's brain.

In general, I find these discussions often go on far too long without even bothering to define the terms. "Free will" itself seems to be an incredibly nebulous concept.
There's a recent (past couple of months?) website-simplification tool, https://outline.com, which I've been using heavily. Advantages are that it's fast, the styling's pretty good, it works on most sites, and you can simply add it (and a tailing '/') ahead of a URL to view it.

I first ran across it on HN. I have no idea who's running it or why, though the domain seems to have been used by a Knight Foundation grantee a few years back. The contact email hasn't answered those questions (though they've answered a few others), and domain registration is through Perfect Privacy.

If anyone has any information on this, I'd love to hear it. (I'd submitted an HN item on it a week or two back.)

On Chrome/Android, it's what I'm running most long-form content through for reading, as design is simply too annoying (and variable) on too many sites. It's been a few years now that I've said: web design isn't the solution, web design is the problem.

The fact that Medium screws this up is particularly ironic for all the reasons Gruber states.

Even the NY Times is better viewed via outline.com (or https://archive.is) if you want to be able to select and copy text from it. Such as, say, to look something up. Or quote it in an essay.

Otherwise, I see an Internet adpocalypse arriving, sooner rather than later. A browser, or other tool, which simply strips all this crap off and gives a stiff middle finger to site design seems imminent.

For the small handful of app-based sites which really need full app status, sure, throw Chrome or Firefox at them. But most stuff doesn't need that.

While prices are low, another aim of governments should be to keep wages high enough to maintain a standard of living. I think the fear around Amazon isn't that it is going to all of a sudden raise the price of goods from Whole Foods, but that they will reverse the employee friendly aspects of the company. When prices are low but wages aren't high enough to guarantee that people can take advantage of those lower prices, inequality is exacerbated.
The number of comments about this article just show you how people just don't care.
Something like lack of impulse control can be learned to a certain degree. As can other things that are associated with bad work ethics.

A solution could be that the government offers help for people who struggle finding jobs. Training courses can help them finding (and most important, keeping) a job.

Some European countries already have courses like this and underemployment there seems lower than in the US. But crucially, free mental healthcare is an important part of this so that those who need help can get it.

> even in-game virtual limited-edition collectors items that might appreciate in value could be considered "securities"

If they were being marketed as an investment, yes, of course. "Buy a limited edition Golden Sword so we can launch our new expansion; you'll make a huge profit when you resell it to the people who join after we ship the expansion!"

That would fairly clearly fall afoul of the SEC; they don't care if you call it a "Golden Sword" or an "no-lose investment contract"; they care about how it behaves and (especially) marketed by the promoters. Scammers are constantly looking for new ways to package the same old schemes.

And because it would be so clearly illegal, no legit game company does that. Similarly, Kickstarter will shut down a project in a heartbeat if they even hint at doing something shady with the promotion. Did it ever occur to you that there's a reason why your examples of other equivalent things that would also be prosecuted by the SEC are all hypothetical? It's because if they existed, they'd be prosecuted by the SEC.

I too feel like containers are the main area where it is painful. The sort of built-in generics we have in Go are useful in most circumstances, but it'd be nice to have custom containers which could take any type, instead of having to specify them separately. Errors is the other area where it feels like they could help (though the article points out possible problems with this).

That said your third approach (make custom concrete types as required) has not been a huge problem for me in practice, and is probably the best choice for now.

2. Holding spot currency position is not "zero storage cost", you need to pay daily interest - futures has this built-in in their price.

3. Futures are leveraged

4. Futures contracts are standardized - which makes finding counterparty much easier and allow market makers.

5. Futures traded on regulated exchanges (CFTC in US), unlike spot FX - which is more similar to how crypto exchanges operate.

This isn't as easy as it sounds. Pledge works in OpenBSD because OpenBSD is simple and all of the necessary code lives in one tree. Pledge is supported in the vast majority of OpenBSD base programs but very few ports. If programs aren't written in a careful manner or with an eye to privsep, you end up with pledges that don't protect much since they are so broad. There are a lot of programs you can't pledge even with all options turned on because pledge has a whitelist on the kernel side for what it allows.

It's not impossible for Linux, but there would have to be a lot more conditional cases in the Linux kernel to handle all of the various ways that programs would use it. The Linux ecosystem is massive and the number of alternatives for even basic daemons is large. Instead of pledge, you may end up with a syscall filter or something like FreeBSD's capsicum. Both of those are more complex because it puts all of the effort on the application developer and also gets in their way.

Straight syscall filters and complex systems like capsicum are designed to allow for arbitrary programs to be protected. In doing so, it moves all of the complexity to the application developer. The advantage of pledge is that it does not attempt to be completely generic. Pledge is designed for how OpenBSD programs are written and what's in the OpenBSD tree. It may evolve over time to include some functionality for ports, but the overall design is to make a subset of well written programs easy to protect. If you try to pledge arbitrary programs, you'll find it doesn't work out unless you rewrite the program logic to be more well written.

Pledge is conceptually simple, but the kernel side shows how it was tightly integrated into OpenBSD's way of doing things and has evolved to make it simpler (by relaxing some behavior or whitelisting parts) and breaking up other permissions to make it more fine grained when needed.

This bit is interesting :

"I remember distinctly my first day, a full-time software engineer asked me to finish coding something that was to be pushed out in a firmware update later in the day. He rattled off a few instructions, told me to be careful not to ruin all the cars, and promptly ran off to a meeting."

Is this for real? An intern on their first day writing production code to be pushed into a firmware update for same-day release?
It's just an old school style of writing. We've moved on from the elitist styles to a more democratic one. The cool thing to do now is to use simple sentence structures with excellent word choices, rather than trying to weave something very complex for the sake of poetry.

I am going to give you with a quote from Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb -
“Never listen to a leftist who does not give away his fortune or does not live the exact lifestyle he wants others to follow. What the French call “the caviar left,” la gauche caviar, or what Anglo-Saxons call champagne socialists, are people who advocate socialism, sometimes even communism, or some political system with sumptuary limitations, while overtly leading a lavish lifestyle, often financed by inheritance—not realizing the contradiction that they want others to avoid just such a lifestyle. It is not too different from the womanizing popes, such as John XII, or the Borgias. The contradiction can exceed the ludicrous as with French president François Mitterrand of France who, coming in on a socialist platform, emulated the pomp of French monarchs. Even more ironic, his traditional archenemy, the conservative General de Gaulle, led a life of old-style austerity and had his wife sew his socks.”

I think there is a lot of bike theft, but people also keep this alive by buying a 3 AM Special from a junky in the center of town.

I've lived in Amsterdam for the last 9 years and the only bike I've had stolen was one that I didn't lock.... I even still have a bike sitting in a rack outside my house that has been mine for 18 years.

I'm riding a fancy looking €1000 bike daily, have been for the last four years, I lock it with just the default ring through the back wheel when I go into a shop or something, and use the chain I have to lock it to a bike rack. It's even insured if I just use the simple lock.

Thanks to some nice tax breaks (meaning you can get a bike for up to 49% off though your employer (look for 'fietsplan')) I am actually on the hunt for a new bike. :-)

> another aim of governments should be to keep wages high enough to maintain a standard of living

Disagree. The aim of government should be to enable the elimination of every single job while also enforcing a fair distribution of wealth. Wage regulation is a traditional capitalist approach to solving this problem. There are other approaches which might need to be tried in the coming decades..

There's a god-botherer in my city who gets old bikes, attaches a placard with how you're all going to hell if you don't let jesus into your life, and then leaves them around the city... locked with homemade steel u-bolt locks filled with concrete, so that authorities have more trouble getting rid of them. Admittedly they're not valuable bikes, but I've never heard of one being stolen...
This is also very interesting: the AAAI Classic Paper Award.

The AAAI Classic Paper award honors the author(s) of paper(s) deemed most influential, chosen from a specific conference year. Each year, the time period considered will advance by one year.

Papers will be judged on the basis of impact, for example:

I agree that there is too much window dressing on the web, an aesthetic defined by gratuitous graphic elements and distractions. The only purpose it serves is to project an image, it is marketing.

It used to be that pretty designs are seen as more trustworthy, but there has been a backlash. The superficial optimism of modern web design is becoming less and less effective, and it's taking more effort to pull it off.
You can say that about nearly all of these projects. Why Steem when Reddit/HN? Why Augur/Gnosis when we have sports and political betting websites? Why Sia/Maidsafe when we have Dropbox/Box/GDrive?

And for the record, an SMB was just an example of a small-time issuer as opposed to a massive ICO worth millions. But the fact is, we continue to iterate and rewrite things in technology. Why Dropbox when I have a thumb drive? Why CRM/Salesforce when I have a Rolodex? Why noSQL when... SQL? No one is saying blockchain technology will cure cancer or is imperative in bringing about a change.

I find I've become more focused on following individual writers/journalists/bloggers these days and less attached to publisher brands. And a lot of signs point to the future of publishing being much more fragmented and focused on individual journalists. But when the NYT does stuff like that it shows how powerful and effective a big publishing organization can be. Maybe new ways for journalists to pool resources and collaborate will emerge?
I don't know what the fetish is with Amazon. The article is ridiculous in suggesting Amazon putting Walmart out of business when it only started making real money in 2016. Amazon made $2B in 2016 and $0.6B in 2015, lost $0.2B in 2014. Walmart made $13B last year... but the article says Amazon is the one with the better mouse trap and "impervious to the natural life cycle of a conglomerate"? huh?

With the toxic culture, Amazon is going to go Uber someday. The Whole Foods acquisition is probably the start of Amazon taking a step too far.
There is another side of that which I've noticed as an American expat. If one country or industry decides to keep wages high, there are at least two effects.

1. The minimum required experience is also increased. You see this in industries where it's very difficult for new blood to break into because the minimum required experience/skill level is above an "entry level" position because the pay expectations of the industry require a certain degree of skill and experience going in.

2. Companies outsource. They seek to maximize profits, which means reducing costs, which means paying those with low demands for work that's good enough.

I actually moved out of the US for work because I found that I had better opportunities outside the US than in it. Not higher-paying (those would be in the US), but opportunities to build work experience from nothing, which I didn't see an option for in the US as a fresh college grad with a journalism degree looking to break into software engineering. I've been working outside the US for ~3 years now and although there have been challenges it's changed my life and career for the better. YMMV.
The dutch version of this for bikes is 'go to a certain part of town late at night and someone will sell you a bike (by cutting the lock off one they stole) for cheap.
It's not really the same thing though. Packages in testing get migrated 2-10 days unless there's a serious bug report and then they get delayed indefinitely. Not all bug reports are going to affect me. I've run testing before and packages would get delayed on some bug that didn't affect me at all.

I ended up running a mixed testing/unstable just to pull in updated versions of programs from unstable that I wanted. However, that isn't a great situation either since now you can run into situations where you're using a configuration that few or no other people are running.

I think if there was simply a sid distribution that cached the packages for a day or two to allow for catastrophic bugs to get reported, I would have what I want. I'm fine with working around bugs in sid when the pop up. I just want a heads up from people following the absolute bleeding edge.

> While prices are low, another aim of governments should be to keep wages high enough to maintain a standard of living.

Incomes, maybe; wages are a lever on incomes, but not the only one (and a potentially problematic one because pushing too hard on them depresses employment while driving up wages for the still-continuing, worsening inequality), and should not be focused on as a primary goal.
It seems to be a holdover from the social media goldrush, where no web app was complete without a way to follow people and so on. Thus you 'need' the app to get push notifications about the latest scribblings of your network.

Of course, you don't really, because you can just as well follow the same people on Twitter or whatever.

Most traditional media orgs don't even have that excuse, of course, and are merely trying to cajole you into reading the stuff in a place where you can't turn off the ads.
