> As long as people are willing to do this job for this amount of money, it will probably not get better unfortunately.

child labor didn't stop because parents stopped being willing to sentence their kids to labor, it stopped because of laws. The free market does nothing to guarantee that working conditions are livable or humane. Any suggestion to the contrary is at best naive, at worst malicious.

> I think empowering people to learn employable skills is a better investment.

That's nice, but where does a single parent working wage labor have the time to learn new skills? Who is paying a livable wage for people to learn new skills?

If you want to point to the single concept that has to be re-examined to understand basic income it is this one:

"Paying people to do **nothing** when there
is **so much** to be done seems crazy to me."

It speaks to the foundation question of value for capital that is pounded into our heads (in the US at least) from birth that if you want to make it you need to get a job that pays well. And it forces us to ask the very important questions and re-examine some of our assumptions.

Some of the things I have thought about when considering BI have been, is it really "nothing" we are paying for? Lets say you're living in a neighborhood without any jobs available, and without jobs and property taxes your educational infrastructure is lacking, and without a job in the first place your mobility is lacking. However you do find employment in selling illegal drugs, the market is wide spread, the risk is low for the street level dealers. Now into that market your provide a basic income for the youth who can now pursue their interests without participating in some form of underground economy. Can you see paying people to not participate in that economy?

When I think about BI I have come to think about removing worry rather than paying for 'nothing'. IF you look at income disparity versus economic efficiency, economies grow when there is incentive to get ahead but they begin to contract once that disparity exceeds a threshold. If the bottom of the economy is worried about where they are going to sleep and eat tonight, they aren't very efficient or contributory to the overall GDP, if the top end of the economy is keeping all of its wealth bottled up in trading games with other top end users, it isn't contributing to the overall GDP either.

If you force disparity to zero, you essentially get communism, if you leave disparity unconstrained forever you appear to get monarchistic type trapped wealth. If you change the rules of the game so that people can be wealthy or not, but the total difference between maximum wealth and minimum wealth is constrained to 2 orders of magnitude rather than 4. Perhaps you get a better system overall.
When an Amazon warehouse opened in my area relatively recently it seemed that many people were scrambling like crazy to try to get a job there. These seemed to be people who are poorly educated and low skilled but clearly the Amazon job represented a step up for them. I'm not saying that there aren't issues but clearly working for Amazon is still a better alternative than their other options. I personally know of someone who was basically skipping out on child support payments before starting work at Amazon and now is making the payments.

I sometimes ask the deep philosophical question, why does a tree not sink into the ground it grows out of? It blows people's minds when I explain that the reason is because the tree is mostly water and CO2, a gas and a liquid coming from the sky.
Google and GKE team member here: The AKS announcement was either poorly worded or intentionally vague. I choose to grant the benefit of the doubt.

For small clusters (less than 1-5 nodes) GKE does not currently charge anything "extra" except your own node VMs. That is LITERALLY a $0 master.

Beyond 5 nodes we currently charge a flat rate that covers your zonal master(s) regardless of how many or how big they need to be.

I don't think your points apply to lectures like they do to meetings, at least for me. Meetings are more collaborative and most of my recall during a meeting is due to participation. If I'm not participating at all then I will most likely forget everything that happened during the meeting.

Lectures are different because I tend to use my notes as a way of interacting with the lecture (and usually you can't really interact much in a lecture unless it's a small class). Maybe it was my way of taking notes, but marking up lecture slides or essentially copying proofs/problems during an engineering or math lecture during my undergrad was most of my learning besides doing problem sets. Problem sets were very important, but they were only there to reinforce what I learned while taking my notes during the lecture. I ended up recalling much less whenever I didn't take notes and just tried to listen and participate as much as I could in the lecture.
I respectfully disagree. The only reason I didn't use the word "clickbait" is because it's apparently the actual title of a scholarly paper. A lot of the titles that turn up in your search are what I'd call clickbait.
They mostly escape from that by using huge amount of data and massive computing resources. Deep learning was became feasible because of the huge amount of data companies like Facebook, Google, Apple and others has collected.

Indeed. Even SOPs for a zombie apocalypse. Now, before you downvote, I'm being totally serious, even if the SOPs aren't.
Not sure about you but I keep breathing 24 hours a day.
Yeah, going to have to agree here.

Facebook is just a never-ending stream of shit I don't really care about or need to hear about. The time I don't spend on Facebook is vastly better spent than the time I spend on Facebook, even when that time is just watching whatever dumb TV show that helps me unwind (as opposed to reading nonsensical commentary from random people I don't know uttering all the manner of stupidity)

I haven't quit it per se, but I the only thing I really use it for anymore is organising my monthly board-game night with friends.

As such I find the things Facebook does to try and pull you in to be extremely annoying. Pushing a notification at me claiming I have all kinds of "new" shit I need to look at when in reality it's just a recycling of shit I ignored months ago is, frankly, pretty hideous.

You know what, posting this has actually inspired me to go in and do a nice big ol purge...

And Deis Workflow was marked EOL later on, something like July of this year, ostensibly so those devs could devote more time to Azure and other OSS offerings.

A lot of the complexity of getting serious deployments running on Kubernetes is just neatly abstracted away by Deis, so much IMHO that now I'm not sure what to do about getting my team to take up Kubernetes without encouraging them to use Deis. To be clear, we are using Deis, but in a very limited capacity in large part because of the perceived risk associated with those yellow construction triangles[1]. (We are so lightly invested in K8S that I think we don't really have another part of the plan as of yet. The plan is to spend 6 months on ECS and not explore Kubernetes until after, can't wait to hear what news comes this week from re:invent, or if this strategy will even be realistically possible to follow once the "EKS" news hits.)

Some of us really felt like MS making this move shortly after acquiring Deis team was a bit like throwing out the baby with the bathwater, but those devs have assured us they are not just taking directions from corporate, and that they actually are going where the demand is (that there's not enough demand for Deis Workflow specifically to be strategically important for Microsoft, but there is plenty of demand for Kubernetes at-large and more Kube-native tooling around K8S issues.)

Not sure how close you've been following this story, so apologies if I'm telling you about things you already know. And I'm not one to complain about the mode of delivery that my free stuff is received in, but this change really came out of nowhere for me and has thrown a massive wrench in my own Kubernetes adoption strategy. Some of us are trying to make sure that the OSS Deis Workflow tools are not lost to bit-rot, and development of the project now continues under the name "Hephy"[2].

Also, just a minor nit, I think that although Helm was originally made by Deis, Helm[3] the package manager has not been "taken" under the Microsoft umbrella, as it was adopted and considered as a part of Kubernetes-proper before the sale of Deis.

Well I guess that I implicitly expect opinionated front page HN content to come from someone whose opinion is more informed than mine. I’m not sure what to take away from this post, given the lack of supporting evidence for the assertions made. Currently I’m at “huh, interesting opinions, who is this guy and how did his post make it to the front page of HN?” Of course this is just my interpretation of why things get upvoted to the home page.

Presumably it does the same thing, sure, but isn't active on every page you visit, only those you drop into a shell and run it against. So it gives you the same sort of results without having to enable and disable the extension in the browser.

There was an interesting discussion about 4A implications between Orin Kerr (who thinks, that according to 3rd party doctrine, there was no need for a warrant, and therefore no 4A protections of cell-cite data) and Alex Abdo (of ACLU, who argues that, since the collection was too excessive, it does trigger 4A protections).

When I was teaching undergrads I always told them that a good minimum target was 3 hours of work for every 1 hour of lecture. Roughly one of those hours was to be spent on the lecture material beforehand.

Think about it this way. If all you are doing is rushing to copy down what the lecturer says, you don't really hear it or have a chance to think about it. So you have to review anyway - if you spend that same time beforehand, you are ready with questions and already know what parts you are unsure of. With a short revision of your notes following also, you're in great shape.

The most important role of exercise in weightloss is hormone regulation, not the calories burned. (As you correctly point out.)

Being less stressed and routinely expending large amounts of energy simply causes your body to run differently (because of the hormones produced and burned off), which in turn changes how it processes food and fat stores, what it craves, etc.

I think proper hormone regulation is far more sustainable than the calorie restrictions necessary to offset out-of-whack hormones.
Well, but you also breath in the O2 first, I think the C just binds to that. C and O weigh similar amounts so it is just 1/3 of the 2 pounds. But you have to count the water loss as well, it is part of fat cells.

How many calories can you max burn per day, around 8000? That would be ~1.1kg of fat loss at 7 kcal per g fat. At a normal day of not eating it is ~300g afaik (2100 kcal at 7kcal/g).

>During times when I've been 100% sedentary for long periods, I experience overwhelming cravings for sugar and crappy foods.

This is very much a YMMV deal. I am like you in that when I train a lot my appetites for food become healthier leading me to crave more fiber and protein.

My wife, however, is the exact opposite. When she's sedentary she's fine eating whatever. When she's active and training she starts craving junk food and snacks which she has learned to use as a coping mechanism for stress.

I suspect this depends a lot about how you're socialized around eating. She grew up on processed food and her family used sweets and junk food as a rewards when she did well at things. In contrast, my mother regularly cooked from scratch and we only ever ate those "dopamine-hit" foods and snacks on special occasions so in my mind, those are more tied to times of year and social context rather than personal reward or fulfillment.
Sure, it's business pocketing benefits and shirking costs. I'm not saying it's not bad, just that I'm not sure how this relates to "the US consumer economy [being] a massive hamster wheel". It was either a non-sequitor or I don't see the logical connection, if there is one.
Just to add a bit of clarification, the excess energy part of the equation is coming from the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the original molecules.

The chemical energy of the original molecules is more than the chemical energy of the resulting molecules leaving some energy to do work and to generate heat.

There is no truly correct/incorrect point of view, when it comes to killing humans. Fact: we don't need to do it. We do it because we want to.

Here's a thought experiment for you, American. What would happen if, instead of putting your citizens in debt to the tune of $TRILLIONS of dollars, every year, while funding active warfare on multiple fronts around the globe, for the last 80 years, the good ol' folks of the USA had instead built massive super-weaponry that delivered schools, water-filtration, and medical facilities, with awesome overwhelming power, to the people who needed it.

Nobody does it, because your "simple HTML tags" are actually very hard to write useful CSS code for. Without classes or IDs, the CSS framework can only write rules that are good for any possible usage of a tag, i.e. it atrophies into uselessness.

For example, are you going to nest DIV elements in your page? How deep? with what parents and children? For what purpose? I'd be surprised if the CSS framework could find a selector for some DIV elements that can have margins and paddings safely assigned without breaking in some perfectly reasonable case.

Another example: what P elements should be styled the same or styled differently? Is all text inside a P element to begin with?

And finally, there are elements that for practical purposes only make sense with classes, like SPAN.

If you don't like adapting to a CSS framework's classes, you are unlikely to adapt to the constraints and assumptions of a CSS framework that decides how can you use HTML elements or not.

Framework-prescribed classes are, at least, optional: you can use the same element without the framework classes and the framework will leave them alone.

As far as Polish media go, I really like:

oko.press - the best investigative journalism in Poland. They proclaim to focus 2/3 of their coverage on ruling party and 1/3 on the rest. Time will tell if they are honest with that. The strategy makes sense, because government has the most power.

wp.pl - while it has very clickbaity headlines, it's surprisingly balanced when it comes to point of view. Polish political scene and society is currently very polarized. I determined that wp is quite balanced by the fact that they cover both opposition and ruling party news. They carry articles critical of both ruling party and opposition. Make no mistake, WP is a tabloid, but it also has occasional very long articles and interviews, and those are quality journalism. On the other hand, they reprint kremlin propaganda from rt.com like Ukrainians who crucified children in Donbas without fact checking.

The bottom line is I use wp.pl for quick news (it acts as a front guard) and oko.press for fact checking.

As far as paper newspapers, Angora is my favourite. It shamelessly reprints articles from not just Poland but often from foreign papers, and it's interesting to read about Poland from a foreign point of view.
Why isn't it possible (or likely, even) that the difficulty of constructing capacity X+1 grows faster than the +1 capacity? Self-improvement would slow exponentially when it takes three times the resources/computation/whatever to construct something that's twice as good at self-improving, for example.
Merely breathing faster won't help. Each breath will just remove less CO2. What you need to do is produce CO2 faster, which means increasing your metabolic rate somehow. That generally means exercise.
Hmm. I don't use Alloy nor do I know hardware yet. I'll still try to dig up something. (comes back) It looks like a lot of CompSci folks built test generation in Alloy for languages such as Java. Might have not released any general tools for Alloy, though. Good news is they describe the benefits and some specifics where hardware people might get ideas for homebrew tools.

Honestly, I'd have thought TLA+ would be better of the two for hardware given it deals with concurrent things. Also, it can do stuff similar to SPIN model-checker that was used extensively for hardware verification in the past. For hardware, I'd have experimented with SPIN for lightweight method with ACL2 for heavyweight esp thanks to Jared Davis at Centaur contributing ACL2 components he used.

He doesn't. I don't believe he's ever really had issue with programmers selling their labor. What he's objecting to is the idea of proprietary software; that is, the idea of software that the end user cannot see the source code to, and cannot modify for their own purposes if needed.

"You're free to stop using Skype any time if you don't like the terms."

At one point in time, the terms to using Skype could be agreeable to me, and so I invest in using it, get my friends using it, and use it for my business. Then later, those terms change, and because I do not have any rights to the code or do not have any of it under my control, either I have to spend a lot of time, effort, and money to replace Skype with something else, or just suck up and take it.

This kind of logic lets you justify any behavior as long as there's a market involved somehow.

You're trying to give free agency to people who are very likely choosing between the only job they can find and starvation. That's not a free market, it's wage slavery. Low end employers can do anything they want as long as the alternative for enough of their candidates is starvation.
The food you eat will turn to CO2 one way or another. If you let your food become fat rather than CO2, that fat will eventually turn into CO2 after you die.
Costco has few items compared to a typical big-box or grocery store. Most of the items are in bulk containers, positioned by fork lift, and cost $10+. They don't bag items after check out. The employees don't dawdle around; they are always hustling.

It's hard to get out of Costco without spending $100. They must have a large revenue/employee. They probably have $1k/min flowing out of the store; much more than Walmart.

I think the point he is trying to make is that there are boundaries to intelligence. I think of it this way - no matter how smart an AI is, it still would take 4.3 years to reach Alpha Centauri going at the speed of light.
