Yes, having a UBI does not automatically grant you connections.

There are a lot of questions about people who will fall through the cracks. I raise those questions all the time.

However, I support a UBI, not because it is a silver bullet to everything but because it is a step forward. It is a real shame that we can't provide nutrition for everyone in these United States (much less the whole world). There is no reason other than greed why our economy can't feed and house each and every one of us.

I fear the real positive outcomes might take generations to manifest and might get wiped out by one major economic depression.
"until it proves that it needs to"

The "need" is arbitrarily added to all kinds of things already. If the thing makes money collecting data, it will be required to operate.

I feel nerdsniped! The utilization rate of a major airline 777 is ~12 hours per day. If the ORD-LAS flight I took today is representative, average in-transit speed is 331mph, so the average speed of a jetliner isn't 45mph, but rather... 165mph?

Humans are social animals. For such groups, creating a coherent shared identity, or culture, is essential. To achieve that, groups have developed all sorts of methods to put pressure on people straying too far from the current consensus–laws being only the ultima ratio in a democracy, with most issues settled much earlier, often even without anyone consciously noticing, through softer methods of signalling (your scorn being one example).

There's nothing wrong with that. If opinions have any power, some must be worse than others, and some may be actively harmful. Therefore, it is illogical to expect the "freedom" to publish opinions the majority considers immoral while expecting complete immunity from any reactions,

It's a news reader that lets you browse sites with our technology. There's not much to update, and going through Apple's app review gauntlet is expensive and time consuming. We avoid it as much as possible.

That said, we wouldn't want to let bugs linger! Is there anything in particular that you think the app should be updated to do?

We recently released another app (Read Across The Aisle, [1] a free utility for monitoring the political polarity of one's news consumption), and it used the same code base. We got no complaints about the app being outdated. Both apps seem to get the job done — let me know if we're missing something here!

My dad used to work in grand gulf nuclear station but lived in Vicksburg. 42 minutes each way according to google maps. I thought he was crazy for doing it, but it felt much longer when I was younger.

So ya, you could do that with a bolt or tesla. I guess I have to redefine what I mean by boonies.
The Stockfish Makefile is probably the best example of this I've seen. It also does some advanced stuff I'm not sure I understand yet. Profiling, setting flags for CPU instructions and making profile builds, all with support for different C++ compilers. Pretty neat stuff from one of the best chess engines.

I loved my freerunner but the article hit the nail on the head - there seemed to be a whole bunch of half-finished software stacks for it, rather than ome complete one.

The next one, which was definitely going to be the real future of Openmoko, was always a few months away, and as soon as it got close you'd find out the team had ditched the framework and were already working on the next next one.

As a result, as someone who had wanted to jump in and start experimenting with writing application code, there wasn't really a platform to do that on. So after a few months of frustratingly dropped calls, or silent calls and unsent text messages, I went out and bought a small, shiny feature phone and didn't look at another smartphone until the nokia N900 showed up.
One could say the same about credit/debit cards, with a suitable definition of "criminality". Charging of interest is illegal under Sharia. Porn and gambling are illegal in some jurisdictions. And so on.

Edit: My point is that "criminality" is a meaningless concept without context. Also, it lumps too many things that are clearly distinguishable.

I've noticed the downvotes on this but my experience attempting to go full remote is that almost any remote job worth taking has a VAST number of applicants. They tend to hold out for people who are looking for VERY specific skillsets (IE, the exact combination of frameworks/toolchains they are using).

Because they have no problems getting applicants, they tend to automate the up front coding part. It generally consists of a coding challenge, taking from 2 hours to (I've actually seen) 2 weeks. To get someone to do a phone screen. Its a far more painful process. After I stopped looking for "only" remote work I had 2 very good offers in-town within literally a week, with recruiters breaking down my door. Both of which paid better than any of the remote gigs.

YMMV - remote hiring is pretty cutthroat right now.

The other question is, why do you need more privacy than what our financial system currently provides? I've never once thought of using Bitcoin for privacy. I know my expenditures will not become known to anybody except my bank. I know I'm protected by the bank if my card gets stolen. I know that a criminal can be easily tracked if she uses a card or a bank account. I mean what's not to like? To be honest, I'm not able to think of any legal transaction that necessitates Bitcoin. Everything that can be done with Bitcoin can be done with normal currency, with better protections and still reasonable privacy.
Tough question. I'm not aware of any books that are substitutes for reading and writing large projects, some books I've found useful: TCP/IP Illustrated: The Implementation (goes through the implementation of the 4.4BSD-Lite network stack), Lion's Commentary on UNIX (or xv6 book), Network Algorithmics (amazing book), Linux Kernel Development by Love, Large Scale C++ Software Design, Design Patterns. A lot of people like the Architecture of Open Source Applications books. I also think learning more computer architecture as the beginning of computer systems engineering is good for everyone, but that's just me.

I think what we are afraid of is a token "UBI" of say $5k a year or less which is nice if you need a small spending boost but it is not enough for food and rent.

You're thinking about it wrong. It's not about tediously inventing thousands of different kinds of robots with niche jobs. It's about inventing one robot that can replicate, iterate, and specialize endless versions of itself for every conceivable job.

Malware running on your computer is a game-over scenario even with hardware tokens. The main difference here is that you'll need to revoke the device key after a compromise.

Password reuse and phishing are probably the most common threats users face. This addresses both with a (for most users) negligible security trade-off. If it increases U2F adoption, I'm all for it. I'd like to see U2F (or webauthn) become a browser/OS feature, backed by TPMs or things like TouchID, but this is a good first step.
Because it's busywork, and it's wasting all those peoples' time. It's strictly inferior to letting a few workers use machinery to do the job, while paying the rest of the workers to sit around idle, because when using machinery you can rapidly increase output if required and the idle workers have the option to find something more useful to do.

Duolingo is certainly how I got into it, both because it has a course and because {Esperanto makes learning languages easier and Duolingo has a lot of interesting languages to learn}.

That said, I feel the Duolingo courses in general don't have enough content, and the Esperanto course seems to be on the short side even then.

Julia Evans' blog is one of my favorites! It was a big inspiration for starting my own blog (https://andythemoron.com). I also love High Scalability and Dan Luu's blog which have been mentioned in other comments.

I "follow" several which are mostly defunct, but in terms of blogs that still feature active updates:

Evan Klitze's blog: lots of topics around Linux, C++, etc. https://eklitzke.org/

PM for tracing at Google here.

As the blog post mentioned, we're collaborating with partners on a common RPC context proposal for tracing systems [1]. Some of the major contributors are currently on vacation, but there'll be be another round of comments and updates once they get back.

We're also working with the same partners on a project called Census - a set of tracing instrumentation libraries that all vendors can use and contribute to, though we're still in the very early days on this effort. We'll have more to announce later in the year (still need to publish additional libraries, set up a website, etc.), but you can follow the progress on GitHub here [2].

This is correct, in the same way that you should despise any other professional from competing with your service.
So 1 bit per Hz? What about amplitude modulation?
And shouldn't higher frequencies give you proportionally higher bandwidth then?

Yeah, I guess article would be better than trying to explain everything in comments.
I don't think anonymity is the central thing that changed the world, or the primary value of the internet. Anonymous voices are easy to falsify, so it's impossible to distinguish whether the comment represents a belief held in good faith, commercial spam, a prank, etc., and this limits the influence of online anonymity.

My belief is that the internet actually allows people to further insulate and isolate from minority POVs. Even though someone can butt into many online conversations without an invitation, this technique is interpreted as disruption and will typically only harden someone against the other side's influence.

Worse, the interfering party's humanity and commonalities are invisible to the other side; the disruptor is embodied merely as a wall of text to be torn apart, an inanimate object, instead of an earnest, sympathetic fellow being operating in good faith to contribute his/her POV to the discussion.

In the real world, the necessity of ongoing interaction with the same set of people requires everyone to at least tolerate the diversity of POVs with a bit of respect and decorum. Over time, as people grow closer and new data becomes visible, that perspective may become less and less foreign, and the good aspects of its owner revealed through regular interaction will more commonly prevent wholesale dismissal of people with a contrary POV, because there will be direct personal experience with a Real Person who holds it.

On the internet, no matter how crazy or isolated your beliefs/ideas are, you can find a cloister that will (at least appear to) parrot them back. Many people will isolate further and further into this group and feed off of each other with no input from the other side, allowing their caricatures to become more and more egregious and detached, leading to ever-increasing hostility and ultimately full dehumanization of those holding opposing POVs.

Of course, that isolation effect is not exclusive to the internet (cf. any wartime propaganda about the enemy "other", with whom most citizens would've had very little exposure), but IMO the internet allows it to occur more aggressively than ever. Anyone can retreat into their echo chamber after they've grown sick of the basic cohesion necessary to function in meatspace.

Precisely what I wanted to say. The 'imagination' they describe is simply reasoning about the future based on current information (with implied uncertainty). Large chunks of any AI textbook are about analyzing future states from present states, planning actions to manipulate that, and the effects of uncertainty on it.

'Imagination' isn't even a good word for it---in conversational English, we often use the word for thinking about models of fictitious states that can't happen, which has subtle value for humans, but not yet for machines.

Seriously limits technological progress. Pretty much insures Indian tech companies cannot develop this IP in their homelands. Who knows what kind of tech driverless car might beget, like space navigation, etc? What kind of economy of scale it would enable? The quality and lifestyle and savings from freeing people of having to be fully present during this dull activity. People could use that time in the car to do so many things.

Cars could be available always, not just when people are up. This could lead to a stronger economy, the car delivers the customer to the product, instead of he customer having to think about it. Less friction in decision making, more freedom.

For people of developed nations that get used to that lifestyle, it would be a world of night and day when they arrive in a place that is actively against the conveniences of life afforded by technology. Life, for these people banned from this awesome experience, would appear more bleak and torturous. Even viewed by some as primitive.

Locally developed military technology suffers, with the lack of local talent they would have to accept inferior technology.

There are probably endless implications for banning things. They could have been smart and just taxed this tech very high in place of taking jobs.

It is a silent catastrophe as a governing decision.

LLVM is a future consideration for Go. One of the main reasons I don't want to tackle (1) right now if the possibility of benefiting from XRay even though it doesn't sort the case out for the vast majority: the gc users.
>In your opinion, is setting up a RADIUS server and using WPA2-Enterprise worth it for a consumer?

It can be a pain in the ass when the consumer device requires a valid SSL certificate. On active directory networks this isn't much of a problem because a CA is pushed out to devices, but automating this at home can be a bigger issue.
In this case, we're quite literally discussing how anonymity promotes negative--if honest--behavior. If we made murder legal and free of societal repercussion, you'd probably have a lot more people expressing their inner (and honest) murderous urges. I feel that we shouldn't spin the fact that people are base and uncivil unless corralled by authority as "hey, we're letting humans be honest."

The "once self-driving cars hit" point would be their legalization in your scenario, with the same rapid uptake described unless government implements some sort of quota system allowing only a small number to be added at once.
Maybe it's not a matter of introducing new fears but of reinforcing old ones and reminding you of them.

Everyone's afraid of random unexpected death that's out of their control right? Well most of us on some level at least.

So media spends a lot of time reminding us that we could die any moment. Terrorists, natural disasters, wars, car crashes, shootings, all these things that have a low chance of happening to you in particular but that nonetheless happen every day and could happen to you.

Or take social exclusion. We all fear being cast out of society. So media keeps reminding us of all these things the cool people are doing that wr arent. Potentially things we can pay to do.
What is the attack scenario you feel a hardware token protects you against that a software token will not (for the use cases U2F was designed for)? Sure, hardware tokens prevent malware from actually lifting your private keys. But, to steal your software private keys you likely need malicious code running on your computer. And, once an attacker has that, it is largely game over for all intents and purposes anyway. They can ask your hardware token to sign bogus requests, steal your passwords, etc. Sure, with a hardware token you can wipe your machine and feel semi-confident that you get to keep your private keys. But, really, once your machine has been compromised and you wipe it, setting up new private keys sounds like a wise practice regardless. I'm not arguing that hardware tokens have zero use. But, for most users, the attack model where hardware tokens shine is likely not of value to them.
Last time I used this it claimed to process raw files, and then just ripped the embedded JPEG and used that.

And it's not even the main reason they need it, which is to optimize the usage of much more limited road infrastructure. Even china has been building roads like crazy, there is only so much space to put them when population density is so high....
There's a non-zero chance, but if enough people are using a service, it's probably OK. And you can just put a bit through at a time, so you never risk a ton. The fees are 1-3%.

It provides privacy. Why should Coinbase be able to see where my money went?

As far as clean, if a criminal is cleaning their own money but gets other "dirty" coins, that's fine, since they're not connected to any crimes they committed. Plus, presumably, the other dirty coins will be spread over so many users that it just does not provide a real return on investment for LE to follow.
I wouldn't call this fear, but a, yet to be proven effective, strategy to avoid retraumatization.

The motivation, as I understand it, is actually to enable and prepare more people reading things they would be otherwise afraid of, so quite the opposite of fear.

Besides some right wing people seeing this as one of the horsemen of the end of free speech, this relatively obscure and confined practice simply doesn't warrant mentioning it on level akin with national doctrines like MAD.
I read through this and then wanted to understand the author more, so I looked here: http://garann.com/dev/index.html

This got me thinking:

1) The author has been blogging for almost 10 years

2) The topics are narrow enough to only interest a subset of programmers (frontend JS programmers ~ so it seems)

3) It wouldn't surprise me that apart from the author, there is at least 1 article on this blog that only crawlers/bots/scrapers have 'read'

You have to wonder whether: maintaining your github streak, keeping your blog fresh, being super-active in OSS, et al. has any real value; except to secure a new job or keep up with the "myth of meritocracy" (as the article states) is worth your health/sanity/circle-jerk-cycle.
Yes but the private currencies break the linkage between transactions. You turn the currency into something useful, and that's probably traceable to you, but nobody can tell where that currency came from.
What's the purpose?

Companies are obviously not going to do that if they have autonomy since it's inefficient production. Instead, the government will have to do so, and at that point they only do so to pump money into the economy. Why not instead spend that on NASA like space programs instead?

I've long advocated for a "techno-Keynesian" approach to economics.
