Yes, there is an old slogan, "Machines
should work. People should think."

Or now maybe

"Machines should work. People should
enjoy life."

Or, there is the old

"Machines should work. People should get
a guaranteed basic income. If anyone
wants more, then they can work for more."

All the ballpark US national arithmetic I
did says that we can't yet afford a
guaranteed basic income.

E.g., for something simple, supposedly
Bezos is now worth $100 billion. But if
divide that by the US population of, say,
333 million, then get just $300 per
person, just once, and have confiscated all
of the Bezos wealth. Point: Not even
Bezos is rich enough to provide a
guaranteed annual income for everyone in
the US, not for a year and not even for
just one month just once.

But, maybe when computing is doing enough
of the work, then, for a simple solution
for the needed revenue, tax the computing,
processors and Internet data rates and
nothing else. Maybe.

Or, maybe, people should manage computers
that manage computers ... that manage
computers that do the work for everyone.
Okay -- apparently we're not there yet.

For the issue of housing costs, housing is
expensive close to where there are good
jobs. And there the costs are for the
limited real estate close to the jobs and
high taxes for K-12 schools, police,
roads, etc. And the high housing costs
eat up nearly all the income from the jobs
because the jobs pay just enough to cover
the most important employee expenses,
e.g., housing.

But if get out to rural areas, then
housing costs can be much lower. If
people are going to have a guaranteed
income, then they may want to live in
areas without much in jobs and with lower
housing costs.

But there is a flaw in Sam's proposal:
People will still form competing interest
groups, e.g., political parties. Then too
many of the groups would rather fight for
the interests of their group and not join
for the good of all. That is, too many
groups would rather fight for a bigger
piece of the pie they like than for bigger
pies for everyone.

In times past, such interest groups could
fight in the streets. Then the ancient
Greeks invented democracy: Do the
fighting at a ballot box. Since a big
winner at a ballot box would likely also
win in the streets, it's in everyone's
interests just to go with the results from
the ballot box instead of shedding blood
when the outcome is already known.

Basically, democracy is still important
and for the same, old reasons.
in 2016 amazon's annual revenue was 136 billion dollars. That means it was .66% of it's total revenue. I would argue that the potential damage to Amazon's brand is quite a bit more than that.

That was me as well until about a year ago. I got a Chromecast, and more importantly, the YouTube app on my mobile device (iPhone specifically). There's something about the presentation/interface and recommendation engine there which has helped turn me into a YouTube addict, unlike the website itself or the apps on other devices such as Apple TV.
Don't blame him. The laws of physics forced him to post that. He had no say in the matter.

>You remember "Lock her up"? Who can guarantee that Trump is not going to follow through on this promise?

1) He hasn't in over a year of office.

2) He can't do anything that overrides the judicial and legislative branches. Which is why ALL of his major plans go no where. No Muslim ban. No reproductive rights changes. Nothing.

3) If she commits crimes, why should she be above jail time? Shouldn't everyone who major commits crimes be in jail? Trump, Hillary, what's the difference? A crime is a crime--regardless of whether you like that candidate.

And back to #2. That is why your worldview is both insane, and dangerous. Even when you have a "Bad president" the rest of the country keeps ticking along fine because the other branches are designed from the ground up to prevent dictators of all types.

So you basically just want to burn the country to the ground because "your candidate" didn't win. And that's a horrific reason to plunge a country into chaos. You're basically arguing to plunge the country into the very chaos you claim we're already in.

Dragging bodies through the streets? Burning down buildings, and neighborhoods? Smoke bombs? Throwing bottles of piss at veterans?
Does that sound like something that brings freedom and liberty and peace? Does utopia come from evil? And how in the world can you be sure "your vision" of utopia is going to be the one that comes when you pull a revolution? You think when you destabilize the most powerful country in the world, that nobody else in the world is going to try and swoop into that power vacuum?

Only if you've been drinking the coolaid.

So let me end with a quote from Bill Clinton:

They need to be for something specific
and not just against something because
if you’re just against something,
somebody else will fill the vacuum
you create.”

As I wrote in another comment, a lot of my experience is with conferences. If I had presentations pre-loaded on my tablet, I absolutely think I'd get more out of many presentations by taking notes on PDFs rather than (usually) typing a bunch of notes and snapping pics of slides that I may or may not get access to at some point.
I agree with you up until the last sentence. You are right that:

> The regulations the author is talking about are not the same regulations that enforce net neutrality.

But net neutrality does have to with sharing telephone poles, because if there were actually choice in ISP then net neutrality would not even be necessary since a different ISP could come around offering a better more free package. So in other words, he/she's advocating treating the cause rather than the symptom.

I read a lot on Medium and I often don't have time to finish entire articles, especially longer ones, so I wanted an easy way to save my spot without having to add native highlights or comments.

That's where Medium Bookmarklets (MB) comes into play - it adds a highlight to the article and a card to the MB sidebar that when clicked, takes you directly to the highlight in the article. Right now it's pretty bare-bones but accomplishes my needs; if there's anything you'd like to see improved or added let me know or open an issue on GitHub:

Ok... I'm sorry but posts like this are what make me think Medium is a blog at best and the tech-sector online answer to National Enquirer at worst. As much as I think Elon Musk is smart and k-rad this is pure fanboi circle-jerk speculation.

But the threat of violence is what seems to work:

https://www.vox.com/2015/4/30/8518681/protests-riots-work

Many Americans like to whine about their gun rights because they need the guns to fight an oppressive government! But it seems the U.S. government has gotten away with quite a lot lately in terms of how corrupt they've become and the fact that so many Americans own guns doesn't seem to have deterred them too much.

In fact, every protest seems to be met with increasingly more violence from the government. Something tells me they aren't too scared at all about people's guns. I can only imagine how they will act when they start allowing police departments to launch drones against protesters in the future (taser-armed, pepper spray-armed, whatever).
If CNN lied about sexual assaults for political gain, not to mention having a history of trespassing and dishonesty, sure. Very apt observation.

Have you ever done any teaching?

You might be surprised at how uncomfortable it feels to talk to a room where 50% of people are looking at their laptops or phones instead of at you.

This tends to go in a vicious cycle. If people are bored for 5 minutes, they get our their laptops. Then there's no chance for me to unbore them in the next 5 minutes, because they're not listening to a word I'm saying.

In most of the classes I teach, there's a pretty comprehensive textbook, and uploaded lecture notes to supplement that. But for some reason, a lot of students seem to begin by frantically trying to transcribe everything I'm saying (often inaccurately), before giving up and looking at Facebook.

I don't ban laptops, but I'm certainly tempted to do so.

Ultimately, it's not really the job of a lecturer at a university to be entertaining or "engaging". It's not middle school. You have to bring some of your own enthusiasm to the class. You can learn from someone who knows the material, even if they're not particularly charismatic.

A paper does not achieve the prestige and respect that WaPo commands by allowing it to be a conflict. Sure, there are a number of papers at which that could be a conflict, but Amazon or its customers reaching into the WaPo newsroom to spike, push, or alter a story would almost certainly trigger a mass exodus starting with the editors involved. Bear in mind that the newsroom employs people with their own, respected, careers to look after, just like when trading firms demand their traders sacrifice their reputations.

At that level, editorial independence is practically a commandment, and Marty Baron wouldn't allow conflicts like that to happen. Think about it, since any of that would have to go through him, the guy who went after the Catholics in Boston. You're telling me he gets to the Washington Post, of all places, and hangs up his integrity? Come on.

It's amazing how often those fake news theories fly in the face of simple logic, and amazing how effective they are at swaying people who do not utilize it or do not understand how a newsroom works. That's probably the failure we're seeing unfold, that journalism has emphasized content over form and failed to educate the public on exactly how it works, and is asking readers to overlook their increasing distrust in institutions. Journalism looking something like "I spoke to blah, she said blah," with recordings next to the text, rather than the way it's currently written in the third person, is probably a necessary evolution now.

> but I'm talking about specifically something my army unit did (develop SOPs for a zombie apocalypse) as coordination training

Developing SOPs as a training exercise (SOPs developed in such contexts are, IME, throwaways) and having standing SOPs are a different thing.

That certainly makes sense.

> Additionally, you should know that you are a conspiracy theorist and completely out of touch with reality if you think that regular US army units will fire on American citizens in some kind of "widespread domestic counterinsurgency".

Actually, I think that that's one of the major problems command authorities would face in such a situation even if there was legitimate reason to bring the Army into such a situation, and even overt preparation for the distant possibility would be problematic and disruptive, which is why any such preparation would not be overt.

The point of accredited investing is to lock the middle class out of the market.

If the law was really about "protecting people", then gambling and the lottery would also be illegal.

Also, why can't I sign a paper saying I accept the risk of investing? Why can't I become an accredited investor by passing a class? I can pass a series of classes to become an EMT and be trusted with peoples lives, but no classes are sufficient to educate me about investing in startups.

When you look at how the accredited investor laws are structured, its clearly meant lock the middle class out of the market

That’s a big “if” to hang “inherently” on. Bitcoin has no credit market yet; until that exists we don’t really have “money” in the sense that a Keynesian or monetarist would use. Once it does, if it does, then demand for specie will coincide with demand for credit, which will be priced independently but whose pricing data will feed into valuations of the underlying. At that point all bets are off - demand is not a simple thing when we talk about demand for money right now as opposed to demand right now for money in a year. The supply of credit is unconstrained except by the risk preferences of creditors, especially in the absence of a substitute for a risk-free rate of return.

That's probably true in typical STEM lecture courses. In case-study type MBA and law courses and in various humanities seminars, it's certainly different. I'm not sure how adaptable that is to STEM subjects at scale. (Though it does work 1:1 or 1:few there as well.)
US GDP is just a bunch of revenue. It's also near impossible to understand the accuracy of the number because of differences in applying revenue recognition principles like cash vs accrual accounting. Also, if US business became zero margin (a thought experiment for the sake of argument), making companies pay a percentage of US GDP would create a less competitive US economy globally. A better idea would be a "US Free Cash Flow" figure, which if we could arrive at such a number accurately, would allow for such a setup, which would be cool.

I see it a bit differently, instead of thinking of it as 'money representing value created' I think of it as 'money represents value received.' I realize the difference may seem like semantic hoops but to illustrate how I see it, consider this scenario.

A dozen people erect tents and lean-to shelters out of ad-hoc materials on a city street to stay out of the weather while they sleep. They use the gutter (or not) as an open air latrine. If a BI system is providing them with some money which they can apply toward a system of shelters or temporary living space, I "receive" an environment where I'm more productive because I'm not worrying about the people living on my doorstep. That is worth a lot to me, and I can unilaterally start giving money to anyone sleeps in front of my house so that they can get a room at a hotel or shelter bed but it doesn't change the systemic reasons that person is sleeping on the street. Now if I give them a BI stipend and combined with wages they get from working they can find a shelter, then not only are they better off but I am better off as well and the economy as a whole is more productive.

That is achieved by capturing some of the excess wealth being generated by the economy and directing it toward the quality of life improvement for everyone (the homeless are housed and I don't have to dodge their encampments on the street and city services are more able to cope with people living in expected places and provide garbage and sewage services.

Net neutrality supporters don't generally agree that ISPs have a proper duty to block even illegal content, only that it is not problematic (from an NN perspective, some may have problems in some cases for other reasons) if they do so provided that in doing so they do not block any legal content. If they can't discern illegal content they should just leave it alone; they are generally protected from liability for it specifically because it is not their job to police it.

Fine, but then you are agreeing with me: most instructors do not expect their students to read material ahead of time and do not structure their classes as if that is the expectation.

In fact, in my experience it's not even usually possible to read material before the lecture because students are only given at best a vague idea of what specifically is coming next.
I was quoting from the pinned comment on the page, by the way.
