regarding 2: there's some nuance needed for what it means to "accept" the smaller tribes -- on whose terms? (Which leads directly to 1 -- if the larger tribe's terms are onerous, unfair, or oppressive, the smaller tribe should reject integration.)

A friend of mine is at an institution which has just started a "diversity" initiative to get people with different ethnic backgrounds in to the institution. But it's unclear whether they're willing to accept different perspectives, or whether they're really just looking for people who think the same but have different external appearances. Does it really make sense to join a "tribe" that wants to wipe out your distinctiveness and make you think and act just like they already do?
Meet Travis. He's a notorious vagrant who likes to terrorize businesses in the Alameda business district of San Jose.

-He has been sent by the court to literally
every possible program in Santa Clara County for assistance, and has left everyone of them intentionally (usually after a few days) despite being ordered by the Court to complete the program(s).

-As a result of constantly violating the Court's orders regarding these programs, he ended up spending the maximum amount of time in County jail that the Court could impose before being released.

-Travis has made it very clear that he does not want help in any form, and that he likes his lifestyle and enjoys harassing people.

-After he left jail, it did not take long for him to revert to his old bad behaviors - substance abuse, aggressive panhandling and petty theft, and harassing local businesses.

The clips above are of him harassing the owner and patrons of Hannah's Coffee and Sweets. More recently, he emptied a trash can full of dog poop bags on the sidewalk, and kicked them all in front of a hair salon's door on the corner of Julian and Stockton.

What is your solution for people like Travis, who continually harass and endanger people and businesses in San Jose?

>Whom are you expecting to pay for health insurance if one hypothetically quits working for Google and starts their own one man/woman company?

Um, yourself? I have an ACA plan. It handles all the catastrophic stuff, and has a very reasonable deductible. It costs me ~$360/mo. Certainly this is a different ball of wax with a family (figure more around $1100-1400/mo for a reasonable plan) that has dependents.

In my case I quit working eons ago. I bought health insurance via a state marketplace (RomneyCare). My total costs (business insurance, legal, marketing) were less than $10K. I was profitable at the end of month two. At the end of year one, even with expenses I was making 70% more than I could as an employee in most companies in Boston (and around what I could theoretically get at Google, if they would even give me the time of day). It's been 5 years, and I still question why I didn't do it earlier. Worst case I had two years of savings in the bank from average-paying software jobs.

You don't have to do crazy things that require millions of dollars. I'm working on a "big thing" (to me) now that will require ~3000 hours of development time to launch, but I'm doing it all myself, and my costs are $10-15K and learning some new skills. Though the very real potential is for it to easily replace business one, and put my income well above what even the Valley could ever pay me. I wouldn't of done that quitting a job though -- that's something I would build on the side and launch while still employed, and only quit when it's clear the revenue will cover expenses.
We spend close to a trillion dollars on all means-tested welfare programs in the US, counting all levels of government. Just SNAP for example, as of 2015, was at $75 billion per year; each state then has their own various additional food programs, and typically cities do as well. Medicaid, by far the largest single program, was $545 billion for 2015.

There are approximately 16 million households that qualify as poor in the US. Households that exceed the poverty line do draw some benefits as well obviously, so it's not strictly those 16m poorest households pulling against the $1 trillion (which is to say, those 16m households are not each claiming ~$61k in annual benefits).

If you instead distribute that figure among the bottom quarter of adults - in terms of income - under the age of ~65 (over 65 most are drawing on Medicare), you get to something in the neighborhood of $20,000 per adult averaged. Per household you're going to be closer to $36k to $40k (eg the bottom 25m households * $40,000 per year).

Just the various healthcare programs utilized by the poorest 16m households - including Medicaid, CHIP, etc - is likely to be over $25,000 per year per household (not per person obviously).

The maximum welfare benefits a poor person in the US can draw annually, then reasonably aligns with the median state figure the Washington Post was quoting at ~$28,800 (again, it varies by state, some are far higher than others).
Everything is unpleasant for some people. Anyway, is good design that which offends the least number of people? I can't agree with that.

Urm, why? Not everyone is in it for the advertisement money. Want to direct someone to a charity instead of supporting you? Not unless you're 10k+ Patreon? 10k+ Blueprints for the table you just built on screen? 10k+

Not to mention one of the requirements to be a partner is that your content is advertiser friendly. If you make videos about videogames, like Destiny 2, that rules you out.
Sure it was, but how much additional effort did Apple put into the code base by way of WebKit? Apple didn't need to open source that work, even if the original was open source, and I'm sure the leg up made a big time-to-market difference for Chrome.

Edit: Actually, KHTML is licensed LGPL, and that's a viral license if you make a derivative work. So I suppose Apple was forced to open source their changes when it finally went to market.

My followup question is, if exchanging World of Warcraft gold for currency was supported or facilitated by Blizzard, would the SEC classify it as a security?

Could Blizzard have an ICO for WoW gold that could only be used as it is now with no attached ideas of selling equity?
no it doesn't. it starts when they're 16 ish and goes until they're in their early 30's at least.

Damn, I am commenting right now from 57.0b4 and it's so, so fast. It properly recovered the 50 or so tabs I had open from the prior version, and even as I rapidly clicked from tab to tab Firefox didn't skip a beat.

I never left Firefox though, it's been my primary browser for ~12 years. Fuck Chrome! I can say without a doubt that 57.0b4 is more performant than any Chrome / Chromium version that I've begrudgingly used to check if my client's sites are cross-browser compatible.
I'm not particularly aware of the details of EU politics and couldn't name the major factions.

But I will point out that "integrate further" can itself become a tribal identity -- in some cases a fairly oppressive one, if "integrate" is taken to mean "get rid of any culturally distinctive ideas or practices that might possibly cause friction". Not saying this is specifically true of EU integration, just that it's a possible form of tribalism.
ICOs JUST started popping up -- is it not anomalous that they are reacting so quickly? The problems underscoring the 2008 financial collapse were in place for years before anyone did anything about it (and CDOs are basically back BTW).

I'm not saying the SEC must always move at the same speed on all issues, but it is anomalous that they are moving this fast on this relatively new thing.
I believe that asteroid mining would be more worthwhile and a base on the moon to process the bounty would be far cheaper and safer.

I'd consider it the same, just using a little more social engineering.
They would classify it as a security if they could conclusively prove that people were buying WoW gold "for the expectation of profits solely from the efforts of a third party or promoter."
Read it again. The Wi-fi button in Control Center disables wi-fi communication with access points and other devices (with the exception of special iCloud crap like Handoff and whatnot). It further states you can still hard shut off Wi-fi and Bluetooth by flipping the switch in the Settings app.

Does it make a whole lot of sense? No. Has Apple removed the ability to "truly" shut these wireless interfaces off? No.

There have been multiple attempts at planned economies throughout history. None of them were terribly successful, and it's not entirely clear why using spiffy early-70's style computers and knock-off Star Trek chairs would make that much of a difference. Although, it does look pretty cool.
The "free" healthcare you receive often has big, gaping flaws that cost you dearly when you can afford it the least. Single payer systems generally avoid these problems, thus while we do spend significantly more tax dollars on healthcare, the common person in the US lives a shorter, sicker life than those in single payer countries.

Housing programs are also often unavailable, if you were lucky enough to have got in years ago and stay in compliance with the requirements, then good for you. Most people who need housing assistance will never receive it.

Food support (SNAP, EBT & WIC) is essentially only for families, single people & couples get minimal assistance.

Can you accurately and properly trace the blame for any large scale malfunction of society on one small bureaucratic group?

Even if you pin the blame on bad actors that took control of ratings bodies and propogated bad CDOs, are you suggesting that the SEC was blameless? Would you not say it's within the purview of the SEC to manage/monitor/influence CDO product selling/purchasing?

You make it sound like VCs and CoinList don't exist.
Legit financial companies are very careful about following regulations to a T, and only fuck over investors in ways where they are unlikely to get caught or where they have institutional sanction.

The fly-by-night ICO market has the difficulties of both trying to defraud investors and sucking at it. Successfully fucking over the general public usually requires building an institutional apparatus around you to confer legitimacy - you can't just take the money and run without expecting some form of sanction.

That's the point of analogies. You point out similarities, not that things are the same. They're not even possible between things that are the same.

> Yes they're different nations now, but they're not different peoples.

Yes, and? The comment you replied to goes "there's a popular line of thought that basically denies that Ukrainians are a separate nation". Which, seeing how they're a separate nation, is just valid as Turks wanting to lord it over the Kurds.
I'm always 'that guy' who will eventually run 'sudo yum install emacs-nox' on any of our dozens of EC2 instances I'm shelled into if I'm working with it for more than a few minutes.

The problem is that some of these servers are already stripped down - it's even worse as we're moving to containers.

Emacs, even the non-gui version, still requires about a dozen dependencies, at least on most Debian and RHEL based servers. And each time I install it, I get some bad feeling in the back of my mind, wondering if I'm the one who opened a big hole into our infrastructure because I just wouldn't learn vim. :)

And yes I know about Tramp mode from my local machine, and other tricks, but sometimes it's easier to just install the damn editor locally.

These Cato ‘welfare package’ papers have been circulating for a long time and are misleading. Their calculations wind up being for a maximum amount of benefits someone could receive if their life circumstances happened to fit a multitude of criteria. In reality someone falling on hard times would only qualify for a small fraction of those amounts.

Here are two articles that dig into how the Cato numbers are technically possible but not useful for having a real dialogue about the benefits people wind up receiving in real life:

Wrong on the Facts, Misguided: The FCC Plan to Rollback Network Neutrality
True. Some start early. Elon Musk sold a video game he wrote called Blaster to a magazine when he was 12 years old for $500. Then he used that money to try to open a video arcade with his brother. He and his brother did get $28,000 to start Zip2 from his father, but that is not a huge sum. The cost of half a year of college. I would say, if you live in the US, access to capital is far down the list on what blocks people over the long haul.
But they do, far more often I see older men with younger women. Rarely do I see the opposite, at least, as far as long-term relationships go.
No, not confusing as your statement isn’t accurate. The iOS 11.0.0 security release notes from 9/19 specifically identify these CVEs as fixed.

They did say what would make an ICO legit: proper registration with the SEC.
1. The amounts raised so far are small, a few $100k. That's tiny compared to what ICO lose in hacks.

2. These are not high tech crypto startups, as most ICOs are. This is some guy selling diamonds. The text from the website sounds ridiculous and makes no sense.

> "By acquiring at least 1 DRC you will claim the membership in the exclusive Diamond Reserve Club (DRC) with privileges such as access to the blockchain transactional databases"

A non-event for ICOs
The SEC uses the Howey Test:

1. Was there an investment of money? (money is actually broadly defined to mean anything of value)

2. Was there an expectation of profits from the investment? (this is easy to prove because it's the opinion of the investor)

3. Was the investment of money in a common enterprise? (this means are the interests of the investor and company aligned, or does the investment go into running a business)

4. Does profit come from the efforts of a promoter or third party? (This means is the investor mostly powerless in having their investment go up our down in value)

In your WoW example:

1. Yes

2. Probably for someone

3. Yes, the money is used to develop the platform

4. Yes, if Blizzard hypes their coin or if you can trade it on an exchange

I think the biggest difference between an ICO and a digital good is that ICOs are traded on exchanges. If you buy a digital good and can only use/redeem/trade on the company's platform then it is not a security.
You'd think HN would be pro-ICO, but there's too many people here with sunk costs in the VC paradigm.
I could never make the switch to Chrome in the first place. Sure, I use Chrome for the things it does better, like live editing of script in debugger, but Firefox was always streets ahead for customisation – both plugin- and preference-wise. I always found Chrome's preemptive tendencies frustrating, and its general "Chrome knows what's best for you" attitude intolerable for web development work. I also trust Mozilla a hell of a lot more than Google.
There actually were a few games published by Commodore in the early days (like Radar Rat Race and Cosmic Cruncher), but they didn't really take advantage of what the machines could do. I wouldn't say they were terrible games, but the games from later years, all of which were third-party, were far better than any of the games Commodore published.

you should get into modular synths.
One of the big issues I have with Pocket isn't even the privacy problem, it's the integration. Firefox would (IMO) be better served by having such things as extensions included in the default distribution. They could even make a separate tab in the extensions dialogue for them, perhaps hidden behind an about:config preference. That way anyone who doesn't want them could disable them and speed the browser up.

There was some discussion of doing things this way back when it was still called Phoenix. The Seamonkey suite was bloated and slow, Phoenix was the stripped-down browser that just did web browsing but had an extension system to add in extra features. But instead of adding features through the extension system the Mozilla team decided to add them into the base.
To which this quasi-legal shitshow of a shell game is the solution?!
You can shrink the tab height further with userChrome.css. [1]

Putting this into there should shrink it down a bit further:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

#TabsToolbar {
height: 24px !important;
--tab-min-height: 24px !important;
}

Obviously, you can replace those 24px with even smaller values. it just starts to look silly at some point, because the icons get squished. There's probably a way to tell those icons to scale down differently, if you do want to go even smaller.

You can load the URL "chrome://browser/content/browser.xul" to get the browser UI displayed like a webpage, allowing you to easily use the devtools to inspect the different CSS identifiers, so that you can mess around a bit by yourself.

ICO crooks are amateurs, they're easier to catch so things appear to move faster. The Wall Street crooks play at a higher level, take advantage of loopholes in the laws they used their money to have installed. They find or make legal ways to rip people off.
Yea, this is the case with almost every channel I watch. I've found annotations and links to be used responsibly and to usually be helpful.

The fundamental problem with AI is the high dimensionality of the solution space. We simply can't understand why the brains we are building can think better than us. We can build smarter brains only by trial and error - at least until error outsmarts us, reproduces and takes over.

If they start taking PR's and merging in, that would be awesome. I'm sure there's lots to be optimized and improved.
Compare the time to liquidity and global access between VC investments and tokens, and you'll see its the beginning of a solution. But you all would rather see it trampled before being optimized for the benefit of all, for some reason.
Interesting. Usually moving networking operations into userland allows your application to "own" the NICs and the stack and reduce lock contention in the packet path down to virtually zero.

My impression was that profiling userland applications is easier too, but I haven't done any serious kernel profiling so I might be wrong.

The hardest part is, of course, ripping the stack out and keeping it up to date with the mainline kernel afterwards if you need TCP.
I dunno how much Stalin did right, but he sure did a lot of stuff well. You don't obtain and maintain control over all of Russia by being an idiot.

Comments here have blown up but almost everyone is missing one of the most important points: dollars spent do not determine how good a social safety net is.

There are estimates NYC spends >$40k/year/homeless-w-mental-illness with no evidence their situation has improved. In fact, it might be getting worse!

Social safety and healthcare in America is broken. The War on Poverty has spent 10s of trillions, and our healthcare costs are the most outrageous in the world. That doesn't mean we have a good social safety net.
VC isn't against ICO, VC has a very important part to play in the ICO system in terms of due diligence and "stamp of approval". I know many prominent VC's who are serious about tokens, but usually they are spinning out new funds without the LP agreements they currently have.

The scary thing to the current system is that entrepreneurs are getting more power. The bullshit common in fundraising (i.e. last minute changes that threaten to blow up the raise, unreasonable asks from capital, multi-month full-time fundraising, I can go on...) will become abnormal as raising money gets easier.
