I call it that because you haven't actually answered the question I asked you with regards to why people would choose that over technology.

Keep in mind you are the one who claimed that we can just design things the way we want them, yet you haven't actually provided anything close to an argument here.

That the gig-economy works for you is great, it's just not an actual argument and it's definitely not an argument against UBI.

Furthermore if you can't actually formulate your own thinking in a comment but are so lazy that you just point me to go read something you are actually showing who isn't really genuinely intersted in this debate.
No kidding? I'll have to try this, thanks.
If you're interested, you can grab a copy of some virtualization software and install it. VirtualBox is free and open source, and loads of help is available if you have trouble getting it installed and a VM up and running.

Personally, I prefer a closed source solution. I know, I know... But, I really like VMware so I pay for it. VirtualBox is absolutely usable and very easy to operate.

I'm trying to encourage you to toy with it on your own because I'm not really sure what other systems are really similar.

I don't have any particularly good reason for my many virtual machine images. I really don't. I'm not a developer. I'm not a skilled programmer. I don't really create anything. I just have VM images for dozens of operating systems because I like to tinker and play with them.

So, it's pretty easy to get VirtualBox installed, started, and then starting to install various operating systems to play with. I'm not really sure what OS would be good to compare MINIX with, as I can't think of one that is really similar. Microkernels haven't really caught on in consumer operating systems. They are philosophically different than the monolithic kernels that you're probably used to.

Basically, the kernel is a scheduler. In a microkernel, that's pretty much all it does. Things like display drivers, keyboard drivers, sound, etc. are all separate from the kernel. So, if the display driver crashes, you don't get an unstable system - you just (automatically or otherwise) restart the display drivers.

Linux is a monolithic kernel. Drivers are bundled right into the kernel, for everything from display drivers to wifi drivers. So, a failure in one of those can cause a kernel panic and halt your system.

However, monolithic kernels are faster because everything is rolled into the kernel and already loaded. The kernel can more tightly control the scheduling.

Microkernels are potentially more secure because those drivers run as separate processes, distinct from the kernel. Meaning a flaw in them should not be able to impact the kernel or any other part of the system. As stated, this uses more resources which is seen as a penalty by some. Modern hardware may make this an acceptable trade off for many users.

I will add that I'm not a CS guy and this description is how I understand it. It's also an abridged version, there is quite a bit more to it.

I'm not sure if this helps answer your question. If not, I'll be happy to keep trying. I can also link you to some interesting articles, including the infamous dialogue between The author of MINIX and the author of the Linux kernel. It's up to you, but I'll be happy to help as much as I am able. I'm just an enthusiast, not an authority.
The complaint is not about the Secret Service paying for what they use. Of course they have to pay to stay in a hotel room.

The complaint is that money is going into Trump's bank account. It directly benefits him financially to go on vacations as often as possible when he stays at his own resorts, because he makes a cut off the tax dollars used to pay for his vacations.
You actually forgot to capitalize "your" after the period but mentioning it isn't terribly useful because the intent is clear. This is also true of my original post.

the internet + globalization mega-trend unleashed in the 1990s has caused deflationary pressure on wages of any blue-collar labor that has the property of being easily transferable to the developing world. The effect lingers for decades are capital assets are slowly shifted around the world.
Tech's push to teach coding isn't about kids' success – it's about cutting wages
This means that to change this code you first have to look for the makeHilarious definition, then the definitions of rofl, lol and xor, then figure out what they all do separately and together, and if you can change them without breaking anything else in your application.

things
.map(thing => x.bar)
.map(thing => {
// whatever happens in rofl
// whatever happens in lol
})
.reduce((acc, thing) => {
// more stuff
}, {})

This is code that is easy to understand and safe to change. The maps could be combined into one function body if it's convenient.
When they say vaults, they're actually vaults. 98%, according to them, of their funds are stored offline.

The only attack vectors are cryptographically, which you can pretty much rule out (safe for human error), and some kind of human attack. (blackmail, social engineering etc) But there's procedures in place there, too. The offline keys are multi-signature, requiring multiple executives in multiple locations to clear industry security protocols, then come together and commit a crime.

The remaining 2% of online funds are insured.

If anything goes wrong, it's extremely likely to be on the customer side. They offer the usual secure connections, multisig etc, and the vault adds an extra 48h withdrawal period ontop.

If you know the basics of bitcoin's cryptography, it's pretty trivial to store bitcoins on private keys that never saw the light of day, using a bunch of dice and an offline open source bit of software. But if you have to use a service, I'd say Coinbase is pretty damn secure. Just make sure your side's clean. Accessing secure systems from compromised phones/laptops is a losing battle, and as there's no real recourse with bitcoin, that's usually where things go wrong even when using secure services.

> Airburst nuclear weapons produce basically 0 fallout. The bomb has to burst on the surface to pick up particles of earth and debris to create fallout.

Air bursts produce minimal localized fallout, but they have long-term global consequences, especially detonating many powerful fusion bombs. The fallout produces atmospheric carbon-14 and strontium-90, among other dangerous isotopes, that can have consequences for many future generations. This is part of the reason why the nuclear test ban treaty was created.

>100's of millions of people are coming out of abject poverty. That's often overlooked.

I very much agree. People on my side of the political spectrum often dismiss how much good capitalism has done to people, especially those in improvished countries, though it's important to note that even despite these improvements, Marx campaigned for Socialism - not beacuse the improvements were useless, but because there is more to a mode of production than lifting people out of poverty - we must also question the social, psychological and moral aspects of the way in which people live; while nobody disagrees that the standard of living has increased, whether the quality of life is the best that it can be, or that it should be, is a very hot topic and the Frankfurt School in particular hads taken it upon itself to examine this.

I made a comment[0] yesterday relating my problems with capitalism, and partly they are the reason I am a Socialist; perhaps we may find some agreement in the diagnoses of the problems but not the solutions, being as "crazy-ball" as you put them.

Trump is tame and politically correct compared to Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was an unabashed racist, who screened "Birth of a Nation" in the White House, a pro-KKK film that portrayed the Klan as a heroic force to control hordes of savage black males that wanted to rape white women.
> too bad Marxian policies stifle innovation by providing no incentive to pursue it.

There are two things I can immediately identify as being incorrect about your comment:

1. There are no Marxian policies. Marxism is a method of analysis originating in political economy but spreading as wide as literature and geography. Marxists don't hold any power to implement any policy, and their policy isn't within capitalism.

2. The argument that under Communism or Socialism there would be no incentive to pursue innovation is mostly baseless and ignores the fact that many inventors and the greatest innovators and indeed the pioneers of our societies worked without hope of the reward, they worked out of their passion, or the desire for credit, or to provide a better life for themselves of their family. Is this not the core of the hacker ethos? In fact, plenty of innovation occurs within the open source community from people who expect no repayment for their effors. And this is of course assuming that people are not rewarded from their efforts under Communism. This is a false assumption you have made.

You're welcome to feel however you wish, but what good is evidence if we don't use it to try to shape how we feel about the world? The evidence tells you to be much more careful and mindful when you drive and to relax and get some sleep when you're on a plane. Your misunderstanding of statistics is keeping you from exploring the world, and that's a shame, I think.

Hernandez would never have gotten out of prison, and certainly not while still capable of playing ball professionally. How much could his income possible have been?

In my humble opinion every animal consistent of multiple cells alive on this planet developed sleep for just one reason: the very same reason plants sleep. Our planet has a night phase and without sun little energy is left. So as a consequence the best one can do is to clean up internal processes or go into some sort of energy saving mode.

I think it's a neat feature. But note that orderedness isn't just useful for range queries, it also helps to satisfy ORDER BY and to allow for merge joins without a sort steps. There's also no yet support for index-only scans (probably never), no constraints, and no multi-column index support.

There's also still some performance kinks to work out with the current hash index performance - large when growing the index quickly or under very high concurrency.

>> […] or very disasterously -- becomes impossible to spend either bitcoins of sw2x-bitcoins because of the chain overlap until the coinbase transactions start to mature.

> But I don’t see how it relates to the part I quoted.

My explanation covered the "impossible to spend either bitcoins [or] sw2x-bitcoins" -- the replay means that attempts to spend one spend the other as well. Forcing a split transaction pair (as I describe above) is really the only way to ensure that your BTC transaction won't spend your SBT as well.

Is it the bit about the coinbase transactions? The coinbase is the most reliable way of getting transactions valid only on one side of the fork; the mining rewards necessarily only apply to the chain on which they were mined. They aren't spendable until 100 blocks after they are rewarded, and only after they mix in sufficiently with other transactions can they be used to differentiate general transactions -- any transaction that descends from a coinbase transaction is also specific to the chain fork. This is more reliable than a timing/sybil attack to try to force the split transaction pair described above.

I know it's somewhat beside your point, but production has also become a great deal cheaper. An entry-level external audio interface and DAW package will set you back a couple hundred dollars or euros at most, and will basically give you all the tools to do professional quality recording, mixing and mastering.

It's a pretty big change too, considering that just a couple decades ago the only feasible way to make recordings of any kind at home was cassette tapes.
Yes, it's about labor costs. All else equal, more supply = lower price.
Forking the chain or otherwise building consensus may be necessary to recover the coins from those particular transactions, but it's not clear that we would need to do that. As an analogy from traditional currency, consider what happens if somebody dies while in debt. Their estate can be used to settle the debt, but if the money isn't there, creditors will go unpaid. There's no guarantee that all of the transactions that occurred with that money can be reversed.

One other potential problem is that if an owner of some Bitcoin dies, there may not be access to their wallet at all. However, if there is considerable wealth in that wallet, they should have incentive to pass that on to their heirs, in which case they may have set up a will or otherwise passed on instructions for how to recover the money. Whoever that money is recovered to can then be approached for settling the estate or what-have-you.

In the end, though, laws and the consequences for breaking them are (in principle) set up to incentivize behavior that is good for society. If you break laws, you face consequences. If you avoid those (e.g. court orders you to pay and you refuse), you face other/worse consequences (e.g. garnished wages, contempt of court). If the consequences still aren't strong enough or enforceable enough to maintain the peace, then society has a problem and new laws can be passed.
> Turns out you can't point out that no one has achieved fully-simulated videorealism without being labeled ignorant.

I guess that's a minor dig at me since I'm the only other person who used that word.

I agreed multiple times that no-one's made your idea of CG realism yet, so you're distorting the truth.

I'm sorry if you felt it was personal, I'm not using ignorance as an insult. I'm using it to help explain why your proposed "scientific test" can't work.

That said, you did demonstrate ignorance of basic math & rendering issues by claiming that color multiplication is meaningless. You demonstrated ignorance of the state CG production, and of basic logic, by claiming that the lack of realism that meets your criteria somehow proves it's not possible and that current techniques won't get us there. You might turn out to be right, but claiming it's a scientific absolute like you did is wrong. It's either maliciously wrong, or wrong due to ignorance, and I choose to assume the best about you.

> You'd think HN would be the one place that people would be intrigued

> Inflation is measured against a basket of goods - but those goos also increase in value, i.e. a tomato in 1985 may not be actually the same thing as a tomato in 2017 - if it's riper, nicer, healthier (not saying they are, but could be) - well, that's 'real' improvement, so it's not the same thing.

This. Every time I hear wage growth stagnation all I think of is this.

$1,000 in 1977 buys a whole hell of a lot less VALUE than it does in 2017. Computers, phones, cars, furniture, clothing...the list goes on. Component prices have gone DOWN value (technology) has gone UP in many of the categories that people spend their wages on.

Sure if you measure the price and value of a can of coke or a pork rind and compare it to wage growth the picture doesn't look great, but it ignores all the things that have vastly improved on the value side.

In a category like "computers" in 1977 vs. a smartphone in 2017, both cost roughly the same and so are mentally "weighted" equally in the wage growth stagnation equation...but that causes us to ignore the huge amount of time VALUE you get back in your life with a smartphone -we assign that essentially a value of zero.

Its just doesn't make any sense to me. If we contracted that time line and said..."you get paid the same in 2016 as you did in 2017, but in 2016 you have a computer that costs $1000 and plays pong on a black screen and in 2017 you have an iPhone X that costs $1000 and basically makes you a living cyborg and folds your laundry"...I think the value increase would be immense and obvious and the wage stagnation sort of immaterial. But something about the passage of time makes this point invisible.

If I was making exactly the same nominal value in 1977 as I am in 2017, and things cost about the same (if not less in many cases) the amount of value my money extracts is far far greater today than it was then. None of that seems to get captured by just saying...the rate of dollars people get paid doesn't rise as much as we like.
