Regarding your first paragraph: Agreed.

Regarding your second paragraph: You're looking at this as a measurable global issue that will happen at a single time resolvable by a single government entity, but that's not how it will unfold.

It won't happen overnight, so there will be no point for those options to be evaluated. Let me pitch you (what I see as) a more realistic option:

Some countries will try to implement UBI. They will encounter the same problems opponents have been warning about. The productive will (over time) move to countries that don't take so much of their wealth. The people receiving more than they're contributing will have more children, will have more votes, and will vote to take more and more from the decreasing minority. Even if you can make food truly post-scarcity, housing, healthcare, and other goods/services are not.

If everything is truly post-scarcity: It'll be no problem. Those countries won't really need the wealthy. But I'm not sure true post-scarcity actually exists, and I think (especially in the US) UBI would be a moving target that only ever goes in one direction.

You're right, though, that I don't really have a solution if (e.g.) 80% of people no longer have a meaningful way to contribute to society. That may be fundamentally impossible to solve. But that may never happen and we may never have true post-scarcity, so we shouldn't be redesigning society based on the premise that wealthy people are an endless money tree, and if it's wrong, society collapses.
The only missing feature that is being mentioned here is the "hidden buffers". Undo is working properly.

I managed to live without hidden buffers so far, though I accept that they are convenient.

I understand what you're saying. I think focusing on treatment (especially making it more accessible) and compassion are good things, too.

I think many people don't get the help they need partly because they feel embarrassed (as well as other reasons). I think that's what the stigma has caused. There's a negative connotation around talking to a professional about things going on in your life or mind. Often times, jokes are made about "shrinks" and such, which I think only exacerbate the situation.

And I'd like to comment on your last paragraph. While I think it's fair and up to the individual to keep whatever they want in their life private, I also think in many cases talking about it out in the open, in environment that not only supports it, but where it also feels normal to discuss it, is the ultimate wish.

I'm of the opinion that I think most everyone would benefit from talking to someone good* about things that are going on in their lives. While there's a spectrum to mental illness and health, I'd like for society to get to a place where discussing those kinds of things is as normal as discussing a movie you just saw.

To get to that point, I think the stigma around mental health will need to change. Talking about something like a breakup with someone is a common experience. If you tell someone you've broken up with your partner, then people don't judge you in the way they judge you for improving your mental health by, say, seeking professional help. In fact, with regard to the breakup, many people offer to listen to you or to make time for you - to help you.

That doesn't seem to normally be the case with mental illness or health (and yet I think it's all related). And I hope that changes.

And I think one of the best ways for that to happen is to have more-and-more high-profile people talking about it out in the open - even just challenges they've faced personally - from something like a breakup to extreme mental illness.

I wish for this partly because I think it will make people more empathetic and understanding toward each other, which I think will make the world a better place.

*Like teachers, not everyone (professional or not) is good at it, nor the right fit.
A major beneficiary of the deregulatory moves, analysts say, is Sinclair, a conservative broadcasting company that is seeking to buy up Tribune Media for $3.9 billion.

Sinclair requires its TV stations to air segments with a conservative bent: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/12/business/media/sinclair-b...

There’s a long list of AI that now outperforms humans both at the per task level and at scale.

Beyond that, as defined by the spec for the startup, I have no reason to believe AI built for this would not be able to do the same for this task.

I thought your "real-world constraint" existed too. Then I had to keep track of thousandths of a cent.

When you have experienced the "no, a cent is no longer granular enough" problem, the conversion of DECIMAL(7,2) to DECIMAL(9,4) and the attendant code compatibility is something you'll appreciate.

>Of course, none of this is cheap, and neither are the tickets. It's not uncommon to find plane tickets cheaper than Shinkansen tickets. And even going 3 stations from Shibuya to Shinjuku will cost you 2 dollars on the Yamanote line. You could easily spend 10 dollars a day on a daily basis just getting around the city, and multiply that by the number of people who use the system, and it's a fortune.

I spent some time in Tokyo and found the subway both amazingly useful and cheap. But I also must compare it to the public transit in the US where I live (non-usable bus system), and that of San Francisco -- which was much more expensive and not nearly as well maintained.

When the usual for me is a $6 Uber one-way to a bar that's barely 2 miles away, it blew my mind that I would regularly get across Tokyo for ~$5-10.

I returned from Tokyo with a loathing of the overwhelmingly car-centric cities of the U.S.
That's what it says in the marketing material, then you look inside and there it is, the ancient gcc the guys with the claim on most free license can't update because of it's .. licensing.

If it was only an exercise in self-flagellation, sure whatever, but no, their tears flow upstream when stuff 99% of the population uses on Linux inevitably breaks with their bastardized gcc.

(This is very obvious if you consider that no, they don't have an LLVM backend for the alpha)
Do it. I want it badly. How are you getting around the problem of sales people guarding their inventory so closely? In addition, how are you coordinating with media companies to make sure that the brands advertising are within their guidelines?
And you could put an SCSI card into that Mezzanine slot.

We had a generation B iMac, and it was an incredibly versatile machine.

It worked with all our old SCSI stuff (Scanner, ZIP drive), supported all the new USB printers (no need to get a "Mac" printer anymore)...

Only stupid thing was that all those connectors where squeezed into a tiny space behind that a small door.

I loved that computer.
I do a lot of shopping on ebay, and lately I've been getting many of my packages from Amazon, so it appears that a lot of ebay sellers are having their fulfillment done by Amazon... havn't had any problems yet, but it could get bad.

There are 0 humans who can fully comprehend taking he entirety of society into account. Way to many people and subgroups and conflicting opinions.

If you seek to lower your positioning temporarily for long term gain that falls under increasing your value prop. In fact, many Machiavellian writers recommend this strategy.
I’ll toss out a guess that the signal is there but it’s so short that there isn’t enough to correlate across locations. So you might not be able to detect a detonation with it, but given a window of seconds from seismograph data you might be able to pinpoint location and corroborate yield.
Why is git so heavily "posix-y" in a way that e.g. svn is not?
The fact that they're paid below a "real job" is irrelevant. Should people working part time while doing their undergrad degree to pay if off also get the same benefit?

Like TAs they too are getting paid less than what they would with a "real job", working full time.

Not to mention getting a graduate degree is a relative privilege to begin with. Either everyone should get the benefit, or they should take loans out and not be required to work like everyone else. Anything else is just hypocrisy.

> not only tokens but anything else that can be bought or sold.

Ownership is a combination of possession, control, and enforcement. Blockchain solves the issue with tokens, maybe helps with digital assets, but anything ?

I own my house, for example, because the county records show I own it. But more importantly the county will enforce my ownership and also enforce any related contracts using an armed sheriff.

All that said, I often find myself thinking about this quixotic problem.
Sure you can. We just don't. If you think the EU and the US couldn't get an international tax harmonization treaty that allowed countries to follow revenue into specified haven countries and tax the cash flows where the revenues were generated, you're nuts.

Viewed as distinct, large nations have a fuckton more negotiating leverage than Vanuatu's financial industry.

The real issue is that Vanuatu and other similarly placed tax havens aren't distinct. They are run by sophisticated professionals for capital holders in developed countries.

Those are the same people who are at the bargaining table; those who know about the issue in depth or that have substantial capital involved all benefit from the wealth extraction the current international regime provides.
They weren't, though.
The simplistic 1D climate model and the incorrect fuel loading assumptions are also relevant. And I think we owe it to ourselves to evaluate scientific arguments on their merits instead of trying to imply guilt through association.

Nuclear war certainly isn't desirable, but it doesn't do any good to exaggerate its likely effects.
Someone who doesn't know how to do those things probably shouldn't be administering an important server themselves, agreed. But there's still a lot to be said for putting up a Hello World webpage locally, or making minor tweaks on a system formally run by a sysadmin.

My concern would mostly be that the list above is unacceptable for learning, not for usability. That's ~8 different tools to learn from scratch, totally independent of the underlying project.

And sure, most devs will eventually know all of those tools (or equivalents) without much conscious effort. But there's a lot to be said for scripted introductions to complex systems.
Okay, sure. If I gave a more charitable spoiler, it might be: The documentary expresses that society requires an independent free press. That's their main point. Trying to make that point through the Gawker case is, IMHO, completely divorced from reality.
did not mean it to be offensive. "stupid shit" is more like socially unacceptable in this context.

Static analysis aside, the first snippet using the React API is very much designed to be used sparingly. I feel It's a bit of an unfair comparison to take an escape hatch that's intentionally verbose and indicative of "dangerously using strings directly" and judge it based on its convenience...

Maybe you're hitting a pathological use-case because of the nature of your API. In which case you can always wrap it inside a single function and just do `<MyMarkdown text={bla} />`
That's one train of thought, but LVTs are also rarely used. There's a reason for that, too.

The view you related may hold where there are caps on rental increases, but why would that hold anywhere else? In other words, what is the mechanism that forces a landlord to absorb the tax increase? If a-particular-piece-of-land is to be transitioned from land-the-speculation-and-investment-instrument to land-for-living, then the increase from taxation will already be included in the base rental rate.

Unless, the argument is that everyone is poor, so the landowner will not pass the tax onto renters. But, dependence upon large numbers of poor people is an odd way to structure places for renters to live.

Continuing with the same economics as what you posted: once some pieces of land are transitioned to land-for-living, then demand will increase for land-the-speculation-and-investment-instrument. Supply and demand isn't static. It fluctuates.

If the true goal is to have a place for people to live, then it is far cheaper for people if the government just rezones the area, assuming their employer didn't just lose a building.
I don't understand this mentality. Don't you think you're being hard on yourself? How do you define "good" code?

You'd need a damn broad definition of Marxism for that to make much sense.

You have groups vying for power, with one group systemically oppressing another, and the morality of the situation adjudicated at that granulatiry. How does that not work? Can you reply with a specific?

Tangentially, I've seen a lot of "so basically (cultural) Marxism" type comments lately about anything and everything left-leaning in the US. Something memetic is going on there.

The memes (in the academic Richard Dawkins sense) which stick around are often the ones which have the strength of truth behind them.
The best compromise would be to add a slider somewhere to let the user determine what's "too cluttered." But the trend is toward taking as many decisions as possible out of the user's hands, and I'd be amazed if future Maps updates move the product in any other direction.
>Nuclear war is, in fact, quite survivable.

Short term, or long term? In the long term, that's a lot of hungry people with no org chart above them. Short term, a lot of people will die, be gravely injured, and probably haunted.

Your definition of survival is pretty opaque.
I think the answer will be: Once it has been on github.com long enough for people to find any issues that GitHub themselves missed in their internal testing.
Agree with this.

My personal way of saying this is "we all do racist things, but very few of us are racist." Very often the most pragmatic choice in a situation also happens to be racist. Just own the racist things you do, and try to change the world for the better so you are no longer pushed into doing racist things.

Redlining is a characteristic of cities. I'm not talking about cities, I didn't grow up anywhere near one. People keep beating this racism topic and can't seem to fathom something which shouldn't be surprising – there was very little desire for migration to rural upper midwestern farming communities outside of European immigrants from farming communities of similar climate.

When non-whites did migrate to the area they did so to cities to find work and they weren't always met warmly or treated fairly, but those cities were a world away from the culture and environment of my youth.
Places in the world where public transportation works well and isn't a after thought, are indeed fascinating. It's strange how people support and pay for reliable service and do actually get it. A bit of a culture shock the first time I went overseas I was puzzled for a bit on how the train station actually knew all of the times and was confident enough to print them out.
I dug up the correspondence. Here's what Dr. Robock said. Again, I explicitly asked permission to quote him. Here's the relevant excerpt.

Me: "I understand that you've conducted 100 Hiroshima simulations that describe a nuclear autumn that could lead to mass starvation. Is it known where the crossover point is located between deaths due to direct effects and incidental effects of nuclear war? Furthermore, is this even a useful question to ask?"

Dr. Robock: "We simulated one case of an India-Pakistan nuclear war. We estimated 20,000,000 direct casualties, and Ira estimated 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 indirect deaths. We have a new project to do much better jobs of investigating more credible scenarios and quantifying the impacts on agriculture and food availability."

I'd recommend digging into the paper for more info. Probably in a month or two, I'll have an article that explores this question based on available credible sources in more depth.

The graduate student is only getting paid $33k/yr. The university is paying for/waiving the student's $50k/yr tuition. Why should the student pay taxes on what the university is paying?
I don't get that impression at all. Vue, in my opinion, is purely a React competitor.

It's not the new Angular. AngularJS was basically the only game in town for a while. React is more popular than Vue, current. And it has Facebook behind it. Angular 2+ has Google behind it. Vue remains an independent underdog.

Plus, having used Vue in production for over a year and React on personal projects, they are incredibly similar. Create an object, give it properties, lifcycle hooks, methods, and a template to render, then chuck it into an html file. React users prefer JSX, but Vue can use JSX just as well.

React and Vue have similar ecosystems around them. Redux for React, Vuex for Vue. React-router vs vue-router. A simple http/ajax lib for making API calls are present for each. React has React Native, Vue has Weex.

Lastly, Vue is super easy to adopt, bit by bit; and it has incredibly well-put-together documentation. All of these things hardly indicate to me that it's going to become abandonware as soon as another framework comes around.

Admittedly, React is a little bit more mature than Vue; but what's React doing that Vue isn't? What's Angular doing that those two aren't? Or Aurelia? Or Mithril?
On Duck Duck Go and Google, after you search for "GOP tax plan graduate studies" you can further limit to results to the last 24 hours. Or you can search "news", which is generally ordered so the most recent results come first.

For example, http://www.ricethresher.org/article/2017/11/gop-tax-plan is from yesterday, with a side-by-side comparison of the current tax plan with the new one, and possible effects on different departments.
Well, there would be another kind of consequences. See Android, where there are proprietary drivers and most of them are buggy crap thrown over the wall.

There is also a reason, why Apple won't ship hardware or drivers, that they don't have source for.
Before the Nazi Party came to power, it took part on several elections: 6.4% and 3% in 1924, 2.6% in 1928, 18% in 1930, and 37% and 33% in 1932 (came 1st) and 44% in 1933.

A party doesn't come out of nowhere. It takes time. In 2013 AfD missed the 5%, but not by much. In 2017 has 13% and is the third largest party in Germany. Saying that it'll fizzle out soon is naive at best.

I think about this every time I have to set up a new environment myself. Getting from "fresh machine" to "clean build" can be a full day of work for very experienced devs if they're joining a long-lived project.

Setting up novices to start their work with an arcane and difficult step is unfortunate even if it is unavoidable.

- people keeping the doors from closing

When I was in Tokyo I witnessed on two occasions a man try to dive through the doors at the last minute and get caught. The doors do not open again. Both men were in clearly obvious levels of pain, trying to get their arms or legs back. I for one had no intention of repeating their experiment. Warning to others: successful.

You get a cue that the door is going to close. They close about 10%, open again, and then slam shut. That’s the only warning you get (there may have been a beep too) but it’s really the only one you need.

They also have herders during peak traffic that either shove you in or warn you off. Like traffic cops but for the trains.
Ohh wow that went over my head haha.
Perhaps you could regionally serve up different content or throttle performance by the techniques you said.

> successful businesspeople (at least in America) tend to accept that full legal compliance is impossible and instead worry only about the risk of noncompliance

That's because it's cheaper to settle than to be compliant as a result of prosecutors willing to settle for a fraction of what would otherwise be due, but avoiding a long trial.

If government is not involved businesses often settle for more than would otherwise be due, to avoid a long and costly trial. Curious..

Anyway, in most civilised world the opposite is true. Non-compliance can be VERY costly.

Going back to your question: I've run my first businesses in EU and I still have EU mindset. I'd rather have the piece of mind knowing that I'm compliant.

And as much as it's going to sound weird in the light of Apple tax "optimisation" I can afford to pay my taxes, even if I don't live in US and don't benefit from them in any way and know most of them are going to be wasted.
