You get a good helping of Baumol's Cost Disease [1] this way, which actually seems to be what's afflicting the economy now.

Problem is that not all sectors of the economy are uniform. You may have dramatically increased the productivity and reduced the cost of forks. However, health care can't be done by fork makers. Higher education can't be taught by fork makers. The supply of these goods is fixed by skilled labor, who can now demand more money because their BATNA is going into the fork automation business rather than working for a competitor. End result is that the world is awash in forks, but the people who make forks can get plenty of forks but no health care or education.

Most of the problems with classical macroeconomic models can be traced back to the fact that we don't live in a 2-good model, and the economy comprises thousands of markets that all have different productivity stats and levels of competition. If all markets moved in unison, then yes, rising productivity would be an unambiguous benefit for everyone. Not all markets move in unison, and so when essential goods are in markets with low productivity, large portions of the population can find themselves unable to afford those essential goods.

NZ judge: Our spies surveilled Kim Dotcom for 2 months longer than admitted
Seriously, America: how is ANYONE still arguing against universal, single-payer health care?
>A land value tax would also put the onerous cost on citizens nearby and make rents and property cost even more.

It would drag down property values because making owning something a liability strangely enough makes people want to own it less.

Rents would probably go down as land that was previously hoarded unproductively would hit the market.

Added to which city budgets would start overflowing with money which could be used to build additional housing for low income renters on land that has been yielded by hoarders.

Land owners - especially people with generations of wealth - would go nuts, since their license to tax people for using their land will have been revoked.

According to your and his comments on this page you two co-founded Kite, how is that "no relation at all?"
My family lives in Canada. My grandfather had a heart attack when he was 84. My dad drove him to the ER, he got surgery, a stent implanted, a prescription, and follow-up appointments and care.

$0 out of pocket for the hospital work, a small co-pay for the prescription.

He also spent a few months on a waiting list for surgery. Cataracts surgery. They fixed him, he can now see better. Out of pocket cost? $0.

The system works. If the trade-off for free life-saving treatment is waiting on non-critical surgery, it's a good trade-off. When you're ill, the last thing you want to weigh is whether you will put pay the heating bill, or the ER bill, or whether you should go to some other hospital, because this one will gouge you, even though you're in-network.

The whole point of health insurance is that the healthy pay for the sick. We will all eventually be sick.
That's not true, at least not in California. But if you made it with Google resources then yes they own it.
By Unix I mean FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD.
The single-payer option was quickly dropped by the Democrats in Congress. Their sponsors (the health-"care" industry) did not like it.
What is naive is to believe the elimination of those jobs is going to provide you with a new and better one.
PIK is building on guetzli and butteraugli, gives about -55 % less bytes than JPEG for the same butteraugli score. Decoding speed is 2/3 that of JPEG. Encoding speed is impractically slow in this version. PIK aims at delivering very high quality photographs with minimal bandwidth and decoding (cpu and memory) costs.
Early on, Langley (and the Smithsonian Institute), who opposed the Wright brothers, was funded by the military early on failed flights whereas the Wright brothers were unable to secure funding even though they had a working prototype. Considering such opposition, it seems only natural that they would be careful about the licensing of their patents. Wright brothers certainly weren't patent trolls, since trolls typically don't even have a working prototype and are uninterested in commercializing the technology.
>'Just figuring it out' seems pretty difficult.

Bad papers often have facially bad bookkeeping. Things like tiny sample sizes, no blinding, insignificant p-values held up as definitive, unlabeled graphs, conclusions that merely repeat the abstract... red flags that can be caught in a minute or two by anyone who knows how to interpret an academic paper, not necessarily a domain expert in the field.

Rather, people go to great pains to explain and rationalize away their lack of interest, rather than investing that same or less amount of time in actually looking at the paper (and probably learning something as a result - even if that "something" is better bullshit-detection skills)

It's reasonable to "discuss", sure, so long as all parties involved understand that the discussion is something unrelated to the thing being put forward. But that is usually not the case. Instead, those meta arguments are used to dance around pointing at any kind of concrete issues.

>Are you literally demanding that everyone either (a) refute an argument logically; or (b) refrain from commenting at all?

In a perfect world? Yes. "Authority" arguments are only one step removed from the bottom of the hierarchy [1] because they don't even attempt to touch on the central point. A serious, healthy discussion should never go any lower than the top three tiers, and discussion as a whole would be better for it if people strived to do that rather than reaching for the easy dismissal.

"This is crap because the author's conclusion has a sample size of one" is completely reasonable and logical. "This is crap because of the author's credentials" may or may not be true (unsubstantiated conclusion! red flags going off!), but at that point, you've ceased talking about "this" and started talking about the author. Hence, fallacious ad hominem. Diversion. Excuses. Whatever word you'd use to describe willful avoidance of the central point.

I suppose. Another part of this I try to read science writers who have a bit of a stem background, like the very good http://www.ericaklarreich.com/

I find people with no stem background, even when they mean very well and work hard, just miss a lot when doing writing of this sort. They simply do not and in a real sense cannot understand the process of creating new scientific knowledge. Their impressions are merely metaphorical and not direct. Having the words 'genius' in the title...ugh. I suppose I am maybe not the target audience for this though.

You have the option of having Google own the code, and in return you can work on it using Google hardware, work on it while at work, use other google code or discuss it with your coworkers freely.

Or you can ask to retain ownership of your project, but then you don't get to do any of the above. This option is also sometimes (thanks DannyBee for correcting me) not available if your project is considered to be too similar to some critical Google interest. The basic idea is outlined here: https://opensource.google.com/docs/iarc/

Somewhat related: I was a little interested in Firefox OS. When I tried to get a device I found that I should either be in a wait list for months, buy a "more or less compatible" phone (it might work or it might not) or get a ZTE (brand that I hadn't heard of until then) with lackluster features at a premium price, compared to a regular Samsung.

Being an early adopter is not for everyone, for sure. But being the only adopter is definitely a PITA :)
It sounds like you haven't read the thread you're commenting on. Those issues (visitation rights etc) are explicitly stated in the GP comment, and the comment was speculating that it may be worth the trade-off. The comment _I_ was responding to was talking entirely about legal marriage _meaning_ more to its participants.

I suggest you read the threads you're participating in before smugly assuming that someone else is the one who doesn't know what they're talking about.
I find this sample much more informative than the entire 'How it works' section. You tool is pretty much self explanatory, so skip the text and modals and just show what it is about directly when you enter the site
How would you manage it? I have a domain I'm using and someone wants it ... Would you stop them from paying me (then I could make a company to sell it), how do you see it working?
"shop classes"? like... woodworking?
I would recommend a total redesign of your front page. It sounds like it could be a great tool, but I have literally no impression of it from clicking on any of the non-gated links on your site.

The basic info on https://visualtip.com/tour is closer to what you need on the homepage. But visual-focused instead of text. And absolutely reduce the noise on the page by getting rid of meaningless text such as

"Security: We take security very seriously and have taken measures to protect our customer's data"

and the Deiter Rams quote which looks like a user endorsement needs to go too.
That's what the train companies do in Japan. They sell tickets virtually at cost and make their profits by building malls and shops next door to their stations and leasing the space out.

In the UK surplus value from land next to public transport is usually captured by private landlords while train tickets have gone up and up and up.
Go, I love you, but you're bringing me down
Bingo.

Marriage is a responsibility, but it also provides rights. A system that financially punishes marriage is cruel.
OK. Thanks for your feedback.
> For some people, marriage is more than a financial arrangement.

For sure, but you don't have to tell the government about it. You can still have a ceremony and wear rings and swear you'll live together until you die. Informally, you can pretty much have whatever kind of marriage you want, even a polygamous one. No-one is going to stop a bunch of people from living together as roommates in some kind of committed relationship. Although I just checked, and some of these relationships are actually illegal in Canada [1]. I think it's really just to protect minors, and they don't care what a bunch of adults are doing.

EDIT: Haha I also just noticed your username

It's a lost opportunity that companies who view themselves as socially progressive and invest heavily in marketing and PR around inclusivity then continue inadvertently maintaining an internal class system of knowledge vs service workers.
That is sweet :)

first, because contractual relations are more predictable than solicitations. Two, because it's tedious for your possible customers.

This was the role publishers filled; building a market and curating content. Unlimited digital distribution has upended that, but without providing a better alternative to content creators. Yes, it has opened new markets like YouTube vlogging and so on, but that's not a good thing. It's much harder to monetize quality content and privileges the shallow and sensational. You end up with a bimodal distribution of very high-budget quality content (ie big budget movies with famous actors), and tons of low-quality content, and very little in between.

That doesn't make for sustainable consumption economies, but it's not clear what's on the horizon to replace them, so you're storing up another economic crash. I predict the upshot of this will be that as intellectual property rights and the ecosystem that existed around them (which sustained far more people than the cartoonish stereotypes that prevail here) have crumbled for all but the most powerful actors, something similar will happen with other contractual and property relations.

The failure mode of a big company is the same as that of a communist country, too: elite disconnect with real conditions, then stagnation, then bankruptcy, then horrible effects for the places that were dependent on it. Look at Seattle in the '80s, Moscow in the '90s, or Rochester, NY after Kodak fell.

The German model, where the employees' union is guaranteed a seat on the board of directors, is probably a healthier way of structuring a BigCo; often the workers can see which way the wind is blowing when the executives can't. _Were You Born on the Wrong Continent?_ is the book to read here.
Not sure what you're using for your api framework, but you can definitely fetch only particular fields on your get requests with Django Rest Framework.

Also, you can definitely version nicely. You just have to document it well. If you're supporting different api version in you're bound to add more code, not sure what that argument is about, since I assume (could be wrong) you'd have to define a new schema and add new logic to handle the queries in the translating layer, correct?

Also, the author makes a bold title and then goes ahead and mellows it in the first few paragraphs. Stick to it or don't do it at all.
I make a pretty decent salary in the US, and I wouldn't call that affordable.

"$x is a 'good wage'" has always been a simple and loaded statement, but with the media highlighting economic inequality (esp. around tech and silicon valley) for so long, news & people now commonly discuss cost-of-living with wages and now look at the net value as the talking point.
I used to have FiOS is one of the few places in Cambridge that offered it.

It was the first time in my life that I'd been wishing for Comcast. 320p videos could barely load, and the lag in certain MMORPGs was unplayable (we're talking 500-1000ms delays)

It got better after a while, but google had some stats by ISP for Youtube, and FiOS in my area was like 1/10th of the speed of Comcast on average.
To which "professional witch hunt" are you referring? Are "private religious views" still private when you are using the government to enforce them on others? Is a CEO who spends considerable sums of his own money to do harm to his own employees for no benefit fit to remain CEO? Are users not allowed to demand good behavior from the companies they support?
It would be disastrous if it were enforceable. In the us the avg time is 47 hours: forcibly reducing 7 hours would mean that there would be 20% less labor. GDP would have such a huge contraction, and there would be not only less money, but less things to spend money on. It would be a huge economic hit in the aggregate.

Of course, laws that would try to do such things always end up failing because people are pretty ingenious.

People can make the choice every day to work less and enjoy more, but they dont not because they are forced to, but because they assess what they like the most. Every person has to do a trade off between work and leisure, and restrictions on work just messes with what people want.
It's worth noting that depending on your location this is actually _the default_. As in, if it isn't in your contract, your side projects belong to your employer.
I don't have a fully formed view yet, but I think Solidity is a pretty good prototyping language, disregarding all marketing hype that it's an "easy" language. While developing, you'd also be working on a specification of exactly how the contract shall behahve, and trying very hard to simplify ruthlessly.

The Parity multisig contract is very complex and I wouldn't and didn't trust any funds with it. I hope that the newly deployed fixed multisigs are bug-free but how would you know?

Right now I'm working on tools for static analysis of bytecode and using such tools to verify the correctness of contracts written by hand in assembly, which I think makes a great deal of sense for the simple contracts that we need as utilities (multisigs, tokens, etc).

> Just so nobody freaks out, this is cracking weak passwords, not broken WPA.

I beg to differ. The fact that WPA is subject to a passive attack at all is a defect. It should use a PAKE, which would entirely avoid this type of attack.

There are simple balanced PAKE protocols that would do the trick. DH-EKE, SPAKE2, J-PAKE, and even the venerable SRP would all work. I believe that several are old enough that no patents are possible, and, even when WPA was standardized, something should have been available.

"That's not true, at least not in California."

People, for the most part, very badly misunderstand what california law says.
For most large diversified corporations, the corporation will own all of it, because it will "Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer;"

Note that it's completely irrelevant what the employee is doing for them. Also note that most employees rarely have any idea of all the things their employer does.

By numbers, employees lose the vast majority of lawsuits under 2870 in california.

Noita – Reveal Trailer
But my family (4 persons) lived at apartment ($2600/month) in south bay with 90k/year income. 80k/year wasn't that bad if they pay more than $1000/month for that garage.
It's probably a coincidence, but just this weekend for the first time ever, I noticed my YouTube streaming at visibly lower quality (my provider is Cox). It happened all weekened, intermittently. Nothing else seemed slow, and numerous speed tests (both from official "speed test" sites including Netflix's own Fast.com, and by moving large files between my network and AWS) all showed well over 100Mbps. I don't know if it was being throttled somewhere, Netflix's service was overloaded, or if there was some other weird problem happening on my network that affected Netflix and nothing else. But it was bad enough that my wife who is usually oblivious to audio/video quality actually brought it up.
The author of this piece is selling a Pluralsight course on building GraphQL applications, so qui bono certainly applies.
If I use it, but you want it, then it seems reasonable for me to want to be compensated for that loss. The utility value can be much greater than the cost - like if I had livery for that domain, commercially that could make replacing it a multiple £10k cost.
It was dropped because it was politically impossible and it wasn't worth burning political capital on it. Even just the public option wasn't able to gain traction; single payer was never going to happen in 2009.
I've opened up the calculator a couple of times and gotten a prompt to rate/review it on the Windows Store... What is the purpose of doing that with built-in apps? It's just annoying.
We did this for Launch HN and Show HN to lessen the penalty for making a text submission. There's a quality of density, and I would even say intimacy, in the text launches that fits well with HN.
The fact is Apple, Facebook and Google have not been able to do that already, despite all three companies and their employees showing interest in doing precisely that.

Turns out our democratic processes have not yet been entirely subverted, for better and for worse.
I'm curious why writers don't approach this like app developers burning the midnight oil pushing their own content for micro payments until they have enough subscribers to go it alone. It seems like a similar dynamic.

Maybe I'm way off here but I trust individual journalists much more than individual journalists under a corporate master.

For example, I'd gladly pay Glen Greenwald 49 cents/mo or 5 dollars/yr whatever for exclusive (not edited by corporate masters) content from him.

I know things like news letters exist but the only ones I've ever seen are talking about aliens or stock picks.
No. Users are not allowed to dictate private religious views to people who work for companies. That's unreasonable.

Boycotting a company because you don't like the political views of one of it's employees on the other hand is just silly.

What exactly is your issue with separating personal and professional life? Do you feel you should be professionally attacked or your company boycotted because you (presumably) support gay marriage and some people feel that's wrong? No, of course you shouldn't. You should have a right to vote, support, do whatever in this regard and it shouldn't affect you professionally.

Look, I personally support gay marriage. But this kind of behavior on the part of the "crusaders" is outrageous. It really is.
Ask Charlie Gard how single payer is working out for him.
>> The dichotomy between the government and private institution you (and many libertarians) present doesn't really exist. Your rights are something that you cannot sign and trade away.

Actually the parent poster was right. The US constitution does not directly apply to the citizens - it defines the role and limits of government power. It was my mistake to say such agreements between people and companies should be unconstitutional. Those are details though, and I mostly agree with the rest of your comment.
Same. Bulma is so much nicer to work with.
"This option is also not available if your project is considered to be too similar to something Google's working on (due to obvious IP issues.)"

Speaking as an IARC committee member, this is not quite correct.
We have in fact, approved plenty of stuff that is close to what google is working on. For example, we've approved plenty of search engines.
(The overall approval rate is >96% last i looked).

It's not so simple that i can easily draw principled bright lines for you though :)
Marriage being for love is a fairly recent re-definition of the institution. For most of human history the social and financial contract has been far more important than peoples' feelings.
