I am going to assume I am more cynical than you on this. Rent seeking behavior is usually aimed hardest at those least likely to protest, or without resources to protest. Someone can rent seek another if the other person has no other effective choices, regardless of UBI or not. That is, UBI in isolation will likely fail.

UBI is likely, at best, a bandaid, and should not be isolated. Should be part of a broader scope of programs that help people jumpstart a move, training, etc.

That said, I do think we need it[1]. But it should be combined with other programs that help people (not redistributive programs per se, but things that help people do the things that they can't do or even consider doing now).

[1] I think we need it, as disruption will continue across industries, geos, and will impact people in very negative ways. So we need a way for them to help themselves while they consider options. If this means helping them get mobile and settled at a new location, help finding a job, and training, that could be tremendous if linked with UBI.
Did many folks feel forced to do that due to AIM?
For those of us in households with one phone line, we couldn't even be online 24/7 even if we wanted to. I had no problem turning off the computer at many times of day and simply being "offline"..
I had a free resume evaluation thing done to my resume and this was what was suggested to me regarding "I did x, resulted in % effect" and I don't know how to calculate that as a task do-er person / working on a site that doesn't make money yet (but being paid by site owner to develop features).

You also mentioned the how to calculate part which may imply having access to the site owner's data (however that may be, ask them) but I think it's hard to calculate those figures/don't know how to.

You probably have to wait too to see how your changes have impacted their site, by changing a CTA button color to "blue" and then you say "In 2 weeks, we noticed 150% growth in conversions" or something.
It was eventually built on Boxely in the middle 2000's but the original AIM HTML component was from an early acquisition of, IIRC, Booklink. This was in the Win3.1 days circa 1996-97.
Well I can do runtime checks just as easily in Clojure, but I'm really talking about compile time checks.
Well, as far as I understand it, MDMA gives you the ability to examine the trauma without fear or anxiety; taking it doesn't drop secret knowledge in your lap, even randomly.

I'd liken it to having a hazmat suit to perform a cleanup. You don't get anything by putting on the hazmat suit. You get something by not having to stay in the room with a toxic chemical spill anymore that you couldn't get close enough to clean up without the suit.

It's a vehicle, not a destination. Yeah, if you get in and rev the accelerator without putting the car in gear, you're not going anywhere. The benefits should largely come in conjunction with therapy.
I rate of people who have bad trips is very low with MDMA. You're right that it's a thing with LSD or Psilocybin. The tripping community has these ideas of "set and settings" that you should strongly adhere to. Make sure you'll be in a chill environment. Eat lightly beforehand. Don't trip if you're not already in a relatively stable spot. I think the idea is that with a therapist (or a seasoned trip-sitter?) they can help guide you out of any bad trips, bad trips being anxiety spirals or something.

Often the most important thing to reassure people who are having a bad trip is that this too will end, and they will feel normal again soon. The fear that the trip will be the new normal is a big fear.

Sometimes people are having bad trips because they are performing the introspection they've long avoided--- they're facing trauma. And in that respect, I think that having a bad trip is actually a _good thing_. Sure, you aren't avoiding what's in your subconscious, you're facing it head on. You might have a bad time in the moment, but it helps the healing process overall.

---

The idea that trips are just a beautiful illusion is... kind of flawed. Our brains are weird, and our thoughts can re-wire how our brains work. If someone is living is the cognitive distortion that they are unloved, but a trip of MDMA reminds them that there is love and unity in the world, then it doesn't really matter whether it's an illusion. Going through life with the belief that everyone is capable and deserve of love and unity and respect _fundamentally makes your life better_, especially if you compare it to the opposite distortion, where you are paranoid and wondering how people are out to take advantage or humiliate you.

I think that MDMA is more about breaking down cognitive distortions with a temporary "well what if PLUR??" thought experiment than it is about just creating an illusion.

Having reviewed hundreds of job applications recently (for three completely different roles at my company), I would generally say candidates should focus on the cover letter / email. Most applicants won't even get their resumes read at all if their cover letter or emails aren't good.

I was quite shocked how many emails and cover letters from candidates were 100% generic, had spelling mistakes, highlighted irrelevant skills, didn't respond to basic questions on the job ad etc.

My top tips would be (in this order):

* READ the job ad carefully.

* Write an email / cover letter that 1) shows that you've read it. 2) is specific to both the company and the role you're applying for. and 3) answers all requirements on the job ad.

* Try to focus on what makes you a good candidate for the role and company. The focus should not be on your skills however, it should be on the required skills that the company needs, and how you could fit.

* Read the job ad again :)

* If possible, adapt the resume as well to highlight those areas of good-fit. Or at least highlight them on the cover letter/email, so the person reviewing your application would even be interested to read your resume...
part of TVM https://github.com/dmlc/tvm is built with primitives in Halide. Halide is indeed super cool and TVM benefit a lot from its experience. While Halide optimizes CPU and image processing workload well. TVM also focus specifically on deep learning and offers more optimizations on multi-core, GPU and other hardwares. This requires rethink of quite a lot of designs.

It's a good amount for the time spent. But you guys need to remember that with creations like this it's probably 1/100 at best when it becomes a hit with that many spins. If you take out prob of already working with somebody really famous that's more like 1 in thousands.

So it's like comparing what founder have earned per hour in some unicorn startup. Yes it's not bad, but when you think about EV of the work it doesn't look all that great.

This is so unlike Apple. If there is a 'state' between on and off it should be visually explicit. No one can reasonably argue otherwise.

And since a state between on and off is not intuitive and cannot be imagined out of the blue by end users, the onus is on the implementing party to leave no room for confusion. The current vagueness with the control has no logical explanation.
I guess that leaves academia?
That Scott presents as his major finding that eons separated the development of cultivation and the rise of the state not only cuts against any conclusion that the pathways into state bondage were inevitable; it also goes far to undermine Scott’s entire outlook. The fact that nothing about the innovations of fire and agriculture and “incipient urbanism” necessarily required states and their iniquities means that many of the good things “civilization” has brought are indeed separable from its greatest evils and therefore do not necessarily deserve the opprobrium implied by both the title and the argument of his book. Though Scott does not observe it, the first half of Against the Grain reads like a paean to a different style of agricultural civilization in the making: the best of a stateless hunting-and-gathering society tweaked in the name of bread. It also suggests a lesson that Scott would never draw: that the state itself has never been given on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. He acknowledges that there is no decisive moment when the state emerged and no single feature that defines it. In his challenge to the inevitability of the state after fire and even agriculture, Scott misses the chance to develop a theory of the variety of governments, not only in the past but also in the future.

This has a hint of a valid criticism, but isn't logical enough to get there. I haven't read this book, but in general Scott is most critical of the state and its direct effects, and mostly considers agriculture and urbanity guilty by association. It is no contradiction of this position to observe that these behaviors emerged before the state did (after all, many theorists consider these prerequisites to the creation of the state), nor does the proposition that some states could be of net benefit to humans necessarily follow.

TFA explicitly associates Scott's leftist anarchism with Those Damned Libertarians. In this context that's (unintentionally) amusing, since it reads so much like the standard anti-libertarian status quo-affirming don't-waste-your-vote-also-don't-say-voting-is-a-waste screeds that are so banal where politics is discussed online. When one's response to criticism of a way of life is a desperate "it's not that bad!" rather than a curious "how could it improve?", it's clear that one values the maintenance of power over the refinement of its exercise.
any recent tragedy. eg, the vegas shooting would probably not fly too well.
Then they don’t implement the same set of paradigms. Type systems (can) fundamentally shape how computations may be expressed in a language. For example, C++’s type system was famously proved Turing-complete.
Hi Sean, thank you for your feedback. You're right, it's probably not a really good idea. I'm open to any ideas for names, having said all of that, I really like the name nEXT Browser because it gives an idea of efficiency, progress, and getting stuff done.

In terms of names in general, I think you will always be stepping on toes somewhere, there are so many names out there, and especially when you want to use a normal English word, it is hard to find anything really available without making up something.
As a firewall it's unbeatable; I've been using it this way since late nineties. I fell in love with its simplicity and excellent performance. Everything just works. An old PC can handle huge traffic with ease, it's just a question of good NICs. Of course you can do pretty much the same on Linux, but in OpenBSD it's more elegant and coherent.

He's not saying "it's clear when someone is preaching hate" (it is certainly often couched in oblique language to avoid attracting ire and opposition), he's saying, "it's pretty clear when someone is making a threat or incitement to imminent, actual violence."

Neither "The Jews will not replace us" nor "euthanize the rentiers" constitutes an imminent threat of violence.
The parent comment is neither uncivil nor needlessly reductionistic. And why exactly does predictability constitute a demerit?
They will be followed. In the US, this will be supported by "small government" Republicans, so long as they're promised tax cuts.

There are already aspects of this happening, with Republicans and other so-called conservatives increasingly demanding support for governmental authority, and vilifying those who care about their personal freedom.

Came here to say something similar. The URL/nav bar on mobile browers should really be at the BOTTOM of the screen.
I grew up in the california mountains. Marijuana was a notable factor in the local economy. When CA passed medical marijuana I dont recall any adverse impact on prices. My supposition is this basically used existing supply and allowed for very small scale personal production. As recently as 2010 wholesale prices were in $3000/lb range.

When CO & WA legalized recreational use they followed the liquor industry producer/distributor/retailer model. This explicitely provided for large scale commercial production. By 2014-15 wholesale prices had dropped to $2000/lb or so. Today I think wholesale is down around $1000/lb on the west coast. In some shops retail prices are $1250-1500/lb.

In short, yes prices have dropped precipitously in the past few years. And Id expect further decline as large commerical operations continue to grow in well regulated states. Small personal grows will still be strictly profitable. But the small "family business" black market operations are being squeezed quite hard.

Caveat, numbers from memory and im not in the business myself.
It also goes to the engineers working on the services. $200,000-$300,000/year to a senior, even if the service itself is losing money (And when it goes bust, you can always find another job.)
> I never understand why at large proportional voting systems are never even considered.

Party-list proportional systems reduce the accountability of individual representatives to the general electorate, transferring that accountability to those setting the party list.

You can get much better proportionality than single member districts provide without abandoning direct accountability (e.g., by using STV or a similar system in districts of, say, 5 representatives.)
The problems from the article are definitely human problems. The comment I was replying to was about why more people don't care, which absolutely is a political problem.

Thank you. On the loss part, I'd left journalism. So Google's not causing it -- I just really needed a change after 21 years of doing it. I appreciate your kind words about it. I'm also absolutely fascinated by understanding from the inside. That was always the hardest part. If you can't see fully, it's hard to explain things -- things that some times help people know if there's actually a reasonable or good explanation. I'm hoping that being on the inside, I'm going to be able to perhaps help Google share more than it has in the past.
Yes, that's a typical application for TSP. But the article is about an "asymmetrical TSP".

Why doesn't smart phones now a day come with a stylus (small pen) ? You can interact much faster and with better precision using a pen, compared to using your fingers. Apps are designed to be used with clumsy fingers, with dumbed down and over simplified user interfaces, there is so much potential left out. I would like something like Windows 8, yeh you are probably rolling your eyes now, but they where on to something, eg running the same os on a phone and pc, and being able to quickly switch modes. My hope is that Linux one day will be able to run on virtually any system "out of the box" turning smart phones into small personal computers instead of smart phones.
Downvoters, explain your logic please
Yes, I think the investors were happy with that. They cashed in in a few quarters and moved on to invest in whatever was popping at the time, rather than having to squirrel away that money for another 5-10 years waiting for a high-risk venture to succeed. The folks who would have been happy to do that weren't buying AOL stock, they were putting their money in VC or private equity.
I love the Marx Brothers, both the slapstick and the double entendres and asides and retorts. Their amazing foils in their straight-men and women helped make their comedy timeless imo.
You assume they would. As soon as the UBI hits, the 300$ huts become $1300 huts. And we have the same pattern all over again.

Enable them to mobile, independent of UBI. Enable them to get food, health care (real stuff, not the obamacare crap[1]), job training, child care (if needed), relocation and housing assistance. Don't hand them money for these things (apart from UBI), but help them with a health card that handles medical/dental/etc. Give them a "credit" card that they can use with a set of well scrutinized vendors for relo/housing. Etc.

[1] when my $dayjob-1 died, I had to sign my family up for obamacare. About the same amount I paid for my old good plan. Much higher deductibles, covered almost no meds, little hospitalization. The thing needs to be fixed, not repealed. Fixing it is going to be hard as it was designed to fail and be replaced with single payer. So there is that.
I think that's true. The 1780 stuff can usually be dismissed as being something that no-one seriously believes any more. The 1980 one can't.

It's not just the cultural stuff, though. I read Dream Park and the Barsoon Project when I was a kid. Loved them to bits. Recently I found a copy of The Voodoo Game in a second hand book store and finally finished the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it was like watching an original series BSG episode and expecting it to be as good as... modern BSG.
I built exactly this once, was fun to set and forget and look back on it in a few months. It calculated the diff and you could see obvious spikes when big changes were rolled out. You saw a lot of big spikes on say Apple.com when new products were announced or marketed, whereas Reddit.com was always changing and couldn't detect any meaningful patterns.

It also had ffmpeg in the backend that would create a timelapse for you on demand. I built it when we rolled out our some rebranding/homepage changes on GitHub.com and nobody really knew off the top of our heads when exactly the last time we updated it was. Git only tracked code changes, no visual changes.

> I can't remember the last time I used a phone number for anything.

Daily.

> Contacting friends is mostly done via social media. Talking on the phone is done via voice or video via same social media.

My friends aren't reliably on social media (and some of them aren't at all). SMS is quickest for small things, an actual phone call is quickest for a slightly longer discussion. E-mail for a group discussion or long-term planning.

> Contacting companies? Via e-mail or their own webpage with some kind of chat support.

I start with their online help or ordering system. For a tech company, e-mail might be the next option. For food, or something where I'm contacting someone local, it's almost always a phone call.

I'd have to think about the last time I actually dialed a number by hand, though.

> But really, who is advocating the government do anything other than the fringes?

Former senator Harry Reid called for the repeal of the First Amendment in 2014, in response to the Citizens United ruling which held that the First Amendment protects the right to show a film critical of a political candidate prior to an election. Whether or not one supports that action, I'd say that's certainly not on the fringes.
