> More likely they would just reward themselves by making a hand wavy argument about how value isn't flowing to them like it should be in their idea of a rational market and increase the tax.

Well, no tax system is immune to people arbitrarily raising the tax rate.

> A land value tax would also put the onerous cost on citizens nearby

It means the costs are shared in proportion to the benefits rather than everyone in the city paying for improvements that only benefit one area. (And if the city builds a prison or incinerator in your backyard that harms your property value, then at least it lowers your taxes).

> make rents and property cost even more

It should lower the cost of property (since property now comes with a tax liability) and encourage putting land to productive use (i.e. building houses rather than "land-banking") or selling it to people who can use it, which would lower rents. What it penalizes is using property as an investment.

(Land value tax is not just some random idea I came up with; it was advocated by Adam Smith, Ricardo and others. Look at the writings of Henry George, and look at SF property prices today and tell me he was wrong: gains in economic productivity are captured by the rentiers who own land rather than going to those who produced them).

Yeah, I agree 100%. But in a lot of the cases mentioned in this thread the private data of the company's customers was at risk. For example system in the original article allowed you to access other people's name, address and national ID number. I was thinking only of situations like these, there's no reason to threaten a company if they're the only ones at risk.
Good point, but at least you could try out Hyperdex and consider whether you wanted transactions. But this is pretty moot at this point, unless someone picks up Hyperdex development again.

Applications dont really need to be well architected until they are hitting scale. Then the parts of their system that need to relieve pressure will need to be re-architected. This is almost like a case study and there are a lot of good talks on youtube from places like dropbox and facebook that explain the problem and solution. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE4gwstWhmc

If you dont want to do youtube case studies there are also books to read about distributed systems. Also reading about cloud architecture can help.

>> Also, if you reject the notion of abuse and it turns out some of it was true, you'd be gas lighting the patient which will lead to additional distress and a distrust of the very people who are trying to help.

Absolutly true.

If you deal with a psychotic it is very hard to convince them it's a delusion. People won't understand the patient and will treat them like an idiot and crazy person. Try to treat the patient and the delusions with respect and at least try to understand the situation. If you dismiss it as "crazy talk" and insult the patient's intelligence you will only make it worse.

I suffered for years and it was a neverending nightmare. Nobody will ever understand the horrible things I went through. And the worst part of it all. You get told everything is delusions. No one believes you and you doubt yourself. I will never know what experiences were real and what experiences were only in my mind. And it's really hard. I know some of it was real. But I don't know how much and what. I have the constant feeling everybody is gaslighting me and just wants me to believe I'm crazy through and trough.

These days I avoid social interactions and keep to myself. I don't trust people anymore and isolated myself. I read a lot and feeding my brain somewhat intellectual content to keep it busy. It seems to work. I haven't had a major episode in 2 years. Which further confirms my theory, that it was the environment and the people around me.

I'm happy when I'm alone and I can relax. But I have the constant feeling that I will never know the truth about my experiences and nobody will ever tell me.

My point is never, ever under no circumstances lie to a shizophrenic. Not even If you think you are doing a good thing. Tell the truth, even if it will hurt. Not knowing is really really bad for mental health. And we are not exactly good on social cues, so tell it like it is and don't be subtle.

I don't think commercial structures typically keep their cladding beyond 10 years, unless it's a warehouse, so I'd imagine if it's anything other than. A warehouse they'd be happy to just have it reliably last 10 years then whatever from that point forward.

Also depending on who's involved and the business vertical, plus tax and policy structure, there could be a cottage industry around skinning warehouses I'd imagine, even if it needed to be re-skinned ever 10 years, but I agree that anything less than 10 years isn't sturdy enough for many applications beyond super niche.

To torture my analogy, If a circuit breaker keeps breaking for unknown reasons the solution is not to use a penny (the equivalent of disabling the brakes). But rather to get professional to look at and fix the system.

If the self driving feature can be completely disabled, that would be much better than just disabling the brakes. Then drive it to someone to fix the assistive driving tech instead of trying to use jerry rigged assistive driving tech.

No. I mean, recruiting is strategic everywhere, sure, but Google pioneered the Disneyland-style offices and perks since its early days. They always used their own software for recruiting as opposed to buying something off the shelf (of those you listed, I think only MSFT has their own thing for applicant tracking, and they were looking at options recently).
Most of that drink's $13 is paying for the venue in which you consumed it. Frankly, I also dont really get why it's so much more fun to drink with friends in expensive and crowded spaces than our own spaces, but I appreciate that's a minority view.

I don't see how you can "solve" the halting problem. But there are lots of ways to tiptoe around it and have some kind of formal verification of software.
I think you're underestimating the impact of a durable and formal consensus mechanism that can be run by machines and can operate efficiently at a global scale by utilising telecommunication networks. This is orders of magnitude more efficient than traditional governing structures and will displace several core industries over the next few decades in my opinion.
It would be nice if you could make 'feeds' or 'groups' or something. I can't believe they don't have that feature.

Fox may be considered the best character, but I've seen Capt. Falcon, Marth, Shiek, Peach at Evo this year.

The only "truth" to the meme with regards to the strictest of Evo matches is "no items". Because becoming INVINCIBLE for a set period of time, or automatically gaining back 100% of your life completely breaks the game. And no one seems to be able to differentiate between "fair" and "unfair" items.

Hi There,

I would love to schedule a call with you.

My background, I've been working as a software engineering professional for about 20 years. A few years ago I started volunteering and now sit on the board of Savage Jazz Dance Company (a non-profit offering dance training to underprivileged youth in Oakland). I basically manage all of their technical needs. I rebuilt their website, create a Salesforce account, setup Patreon, etc.

I've also experimented with free app building services for other groups I see value in with out-dated technology. Would be happy to share my learnings from this.

I'm working on a new project myself, designed to run as a non-profit, to replace formal education, recruiting and bootcamps with a new model of knowledge training and knowledge work. It is called 'Bloomguild'.

Bloomguild takes an old approach to knowledge work (apprenticeships in guilds) with cutting edge technology (quantified-self, confidence-based repetition) in a new market framework. Apprentices are paid from the beginning, contribute to the creation of products which have value, and spend time doing project-based learning, as well as topic based learning each session.

Yes, in the velodrome races. Here's a video from 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAhlewcOxAI
This was mentioned briefly in the article on the backdrop of how the major players are running away from text -- but as some context -- this really has been a bleak summer for sportswriting.

ESPN started by laying off ~100 employees, with the biggest cuts coming to writers in their declining coverage of baseball and hockey.

Fox Sports, who is trying to become the Pepsi to ESPN's Coke, then followed by laying off every writer on staff in their "pivot to video" (go to their home page now, and you will not find a single link to a text piece).

Vice Sports then joined the party last week by closing shop as part of Vice's expansion into international markets at the cost of getting rid of their sports editorial team.

Not sports directly but MTV did the same thing with their writing staff, including a lot of their high profile writers like Holly Anderson.

With all of these being part of the magical "pivot to video," you have to think it's mainly driven by optimistic hopes that video CPMs will rise in a way that display ads have not for publishers over the last 10 years.

First you try countermeasures, if that fails you remove yourself from traffic. At least that's what humans do in that situation.

A frequent problem for human drivers too.

We just need good heuristics how to come to a safe stop, and be generally better than the average driver.
While this may feel true, there are a few reasons why it's not.

1. This assumes https can be trusted, that is, MITM is not a possibility. This is a fair assumption for many people, but not for people whore are scared of state actors, which is common for journalists in and citizens of some countries. - This can be mitigated to an extent with certificate pinning, but I don't think all software support it (correctly?) and it's another thing to get wrong.

2. This assumes your server is trusted. It is not. If it's hosted in a remote location (e.g. VPS or even metal in a server farm), it can't be trusted. If it's at your home, based on how much of a target you are, it can't be trusted. Even if your server is physically secure, this assumes it won't be hacked, and you should never assume a public facing server won't be.

Of course this all depends on your threat models, and this may not apply to you, but https to your own server is definitely not the same, and given that adding end-to-end is almost "free" for most users, it's a good idea to error on the side of safety and just do it.
I did not know that, and shall look it up. Thanks!!
They did reciprocate. They freely shared their discoveries with Octave Chanute and spoke about their earlier but still important discoveries at an aeronautics conference Chanute invited them to.

It is amazing what they had to invent and discover to get from the then-current state of the art to a practical flying machine. To give a few specific examples: invent modern propeller theory, dispel long-revered aerodynamic experiment results (Smeaton's coefficient and Lilienthal's airfoil performance data), manufacture a sufficiently lightweight and powerful engine (with significant help on this front from a mechanic they employed for their bicycle business), and pretty much the only effective aircraft control schemes at the time (when people did not even think control was that important!). I am probably missing a few things but each of the points I listed required lots of effort and iteration.

They deserved much more than they got, and tried to use patents for its intended legal purpose. People just didn't play fair by the Wright brothers' estimation. One could speculate that they maliciously and/or selfishly held back innovation, but if you look at their character throughout their journey of invention it seems more likely that they decided to engage unscrupulous enemies, which unfortunately absorbed a lot of their time.

They demonstrated integrity. Inventors all over the world were chomping at the bit of flight by making hops and such, but no one could make a practical flying machine. While others would grandstand on small successes, the Wright brothers focused only on the ultimate end goal of a practical flying machine. They did not make public demonstrations, even though they were far ahead of all others. A small number of people witnessed their progress, and word would spread slowly. But since they were not overtly public about this great progress people doubted them and even accused them of being frauds. This did not deter them, and they continued with their work. The truth was finally revealed to the whole world when they made demonstrations in France, having completed a practical flying machine. It was utterly sensational all around the world, amplified by the fact that they had been highly doubted by prominent figures. These prominent public detractors promptly made public apologies.

In my opinion, the Wright brothers are the greatest inventors / founders in human history. Their biographies are definitely worth a read. My favorites are the ones by David McCullough and Peter Jakab.
Also not a cyclist, but [1] is a good (and slightly comical) view of this technique.
In Sprint cycling, which is just three laps, it was found to be a good technique to stay behind the lead rider, because you have the advantage of surprise, and can draft[2] in the last lap, passing them at the last second.

This strategy evolved, and then you end up with two bicyclists jockeying for last place, with bicycles nearly standing still.

This comment is wrong on many levels...

1/ State borders within the US aren't any sort of obstacle to commuting for work, so how big your state is is completely irrelevant (it's only a slight exaggeration to say that half of New Jersey is fully integrated suburbs of NYC).

2/ Even if it did matter, California is definitely not the largest state in the US.
I would not make the assumption. I've been working for corporate America long enough to know that there's an astonishing level of incompetence many places. I'm sure Twitter is no exception. I'm sure _someone_ at Twitter has considered this, but perhaps they work for someone who doesn't "get it." Among many other possibilities.
Low end jobs that can be automated will be automated. Only reason they have not is because wages have been depressed via replenishment of the low end of the worker pool from underdeveloped economies. If you look at Japan lots of the fast food stuff is automated. We will see more automation in agriculture. No kids will grow up wanting to pick vegetables, quite reasonably but they still need harvesting.

For copyright infringement, they'd need to actually redistribute the code.

IANAL, but I don't think so. In MAI v. Peak[1], the court determined that even loading a program from disk to RAM was a copy, and therefore infringing without a license. Congress has since then added a specific exception for "Machine maintenance and repair", but that's it. Copying from a remote machine and storing it in their disks should certainly qualify.

Lets say I agreed with you. In what way is that worse than the non-gigging market? If I take a job at a Gap, I am an easily replaceable cog with no market power, I'm dependent on that job and have to do what I'm told, but I can't set my own hours. Regular shifts are virtually non-existent in most low income jobs today. Gigging as it currently exists improves on that.
Agreed. But I think the idea of listing and cutting down your dependencies (which is what I understood your post to be suggesting) is contrary to that; rather depending on a huge number of tiny libraries makes it easier for libraries to evolve more flexibly.

Also notice that this is for solar with energy storage. If you want to tap into the grid then you need a permit and an electrician in addition to an emergency cut off for firemen. That ends up being $Ks which are related to installation (not panel/inverter/mounting) rather than a battery.

Check Project Sunroof for a quote:
https://www.google.com/get/sunroof

It's not uncommon for installation costs to be over 30% (especially for smaller installations and depending on roof conditions), and when you only get the Fed subsidy when you pay taxes that number ends up looking bigger (even if it's the same % in the end).
This is the real problem.
