May I suggest a different perspective?

A textbook represents a distillation of the author's knowledge and experience in some specific field.

You may need that knowledge now, because at some time in the future you may be earning a living from what you know in that field.

Usually a business with some knowledge gap in their practices, hires a consultant for their knowledge in that specific field. By the same token, when you buy a textbook, you are "hiring" the author/s of a textbook as consultants, to fill in some gap or need in your knowledge. How much do you think you should pay your consultants(authors) for their knowledge and experience?

And that is not such a high price - I have read from some engineering contract law, and maritime law, textbooks that were in the order of $3500 each, if I had to pay for them. I have seen some specialist medical surgery textbooks in the same ballpark price.
If you increase taxation at the top ranges (and close loopholes the very rich and their corporate personas use to evade taxes and so on) you'll end up just injecting those trillions back into the economy.

If you use that to replace means-tested aid, you get rid of the management overhead.

And, maybe, if the US cuts costs for the military, making them build roads and schools instead of bombing them, you'll realize you really didn't need to spend that much in the military anyway...

There is also an important point in terms of opportunities lost due to low surplus. As you reduce the pressure on the poor, they will end up making better decisions (http://thepsychreport.com/research-application/featured-rese...) with better overall outcomes.

Right; that is, whichever economy those rich folks choose to call home. :)
Notice also, no byline, and no comments allowed. The Guardian often panders to culture war outrage bait then hides behind taking responsibility or criticism with tricks like this, and the fact that an occasional decent article exists.

Why again does this failing rag deserve support, and why is this obvious propaganda upvoted to the top of HN?
Hm, was I really condescending in my comment? I've gone back to re-read it and it doesn't strike me as condescending, indeed when I wrote the comment I wrote it simply in a matter-of-factly way with no emotion.

But maybe I slipped. Can you please point out which part was condescending? (serious request; am interested in improving my written speech to be both clear and not condescending in any way)
That's why lectures suck for me. I can't "listen fast enough", and I lost track of the lecture when I try to take notes. This is where something like Khan Academy is way awesome-r for my style of learning.

Fortunately, I'm not so sure on your second statement. There was an extremely concerted push from both the media and government to turn Syria into Iraq 2.0 around 2013. And ultimately it was a complete failure with public opinion never really turning towards the support necessary for that sort of operation.
Seems kinda similar to Pagekite (

They're already on it. (Sad to say. 20 Trillion national debt, and climbing.)

How 'bout taking some of that fresh money to set up a new department of Federal officers who drive around and break windows? Think of all the business that would generate! That would really boost the economy.

One serious question though: since the Federal government is printing all the money they need, why should they collect income taxes? If we're going to ignore fundamental economic consequences, what's a little more fresh ink? Let's just party 'till the walls fall in, right? (A: it's all fun and games until the velocity of that money increases and hyperinflation comes calling.)
Nice find, thank you. If this is true, the Guardian should definitely address it. I'll probably write to them myself after investigating a bit.
At work I have two external monitors attached to my 13" MBP, and I almost exclusively use the laptop screen. I also use the trackpad and keyboard attached to the laptop, which is probably the reason I use the laptop's screen so much more than the others. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Example of extracting money out of stolen goods: Selling a stolen phone.

Example of money laundering: I have illegitimately earned money, I funnel it through a service which then gives me "clean" money.

I wouldn't say it's money laundering, but I wouldn't say it's not money laundering. Is there a word for where it's kinda-both?
Huh, I always read it as entry to the country, not entry to the apartment. Especially considering in #2 entry seem to refer to country. And entry is a really strange choice of word to use when referring to checking in to an apartment.
> user and employee are just labels used to communicate a narrative; there's no objective truth in either one.

I completely disagree. A company vets and makes a pledge to a employee, there is commitment in the form of promised work and potential advancement. Employees have a work future and maybe the potential grow. Consults, Ehem I mean, "Users" are here now and understand that once they finish this single task in accordance with any contract, or task list they are done. They are free to leave and there is no promise to stay. A company has no responsibility to a user or consultant other than all civil caselaw, don't slander, impersonate, discriminate, stalk, etc. 'For hire' work is compensated on in the agreed upon terms. Something to the extent of "There is no guaranty for future or ongoing work. You are compensated for the services and time you have rendered. Compensation changes must be agreed upon by both parties." 'For hire' contracts, TOS, consultant contracts are not employee contracts.
Assuming "quality" means accuracy/truthfulness, how can the average reader rate the quality of any writing?

I would have to agree with Operyl. I don't have a reason to use the CMS in a desktop app and the site will be pretty low traffic, probably 20-30 unique visits a year or less, and all of it local so I doubt cloudflare would be needed. And I would netlify would have something similar protecting their servers.

That said, it would probably not be that hard to create that electron app. You just need to include 3 files to get netlifycms to work.
Even if you're not all-in on AWS, you can use Parameter Store for a trivial sum. The latency might be a bit higher, but in most cases it shouldn't matter since secrets usually have a nonzero TTL associated with them.
You're right. Obviously I've never given this subject much thought. :)

You're mistaken. There are two separate messages - a popover that appears at the bottom of the screen every time you browse a page (whether it be the front page, an article, etc.) AND the more innocuous inline text at the end of every article that you mention.

Yes, you can - it has a separate API with its own separate permissions. There's no need to use the full SSM to take advantage of Parameter Store.

I'm not everyone, but many probably feel how I feel about browser extensions. The browser is free, and so are their extensions...

I'm fairly certain that upselling is the best approach to monetizing browser extensions... Provide a freemium service, and have paid features. Much like apps I guess.

But you really have to be providing a service. So it's more like the browser extension or app is just another marketing channel.

Lastpass is a good example. Distill Web Monitor is another. I believe the latter was acquired to be monetized.
Where is this pointed out?
Linux has no compatibility problem with itself or with standards.

Linux in general has huge compatibility problems with himself: right now I’m building binutils because RPM from RHEL6 encodes dependencies into the SRPM that are not backward compatible. Then there is NFS V4 as another example of incompatibility with reference implementations. Then there is ss versus netstat, yet another incompatibility, this time architectural. There are many, many such examples which desktop users and developers aren’t even aware of but system and kernel engineers and system administrators suffer on Linux daily.
No animosity on my side! Its just an exchange of ideas.

I have two answers to the idea that taxes are what help other people. The first is that the government budget spends a fraction of its spending in progressive benefits. First, many of the things it does do not help society, or even help the people that need that help the most, and it does it while taking a big cut.

The U.S. government accounts for 36% of gdp spending every year. One out of 3 dollars is spent by the state. If you replaced the government with a machine that just cuts out an equal check to every single person in the U.S., it would be a universal basic income of 20.000U$S a year.

The above is to give an intuition on what the actual government actually is. It gets that amount of money, but there is nowhere nearly that level of redistribution.

I like equating the state with the church because again, when a believer puts money in the church box, he thinks he is helping God's cause, but he is helping the priest first.

The other answer is that the government often spends the money in regressive benefits. That is the benefit helps the upper half more than the lower half. That is a classic issue with Social Security for example. You can google Milton Friedman's social security talk for a great explanation of why SS is regressive.

So not only it spends an enormous amount of what it collects, but sometimes even redistributes it against reasonable economic principles.
Printing money doesn't necessarily increase the debt, it depends on who that money is being loaned to. It could actually reduce the debt relative to GDP via inflation.

The longer your history the more the cops will treat you like a criminal during even the most trivial interactions. Due to the large amount of discretion they have the more scrutiny you get the more likely you are to wind up with a lengthier criminal history.

>What is Sunday Assembly?

>Sunday Assembly is a secular community that meet regularly to celebrate life. Our motto is “Live Better, Help Often and Wonder More” and our mission is to help everyone live life as fully as possible.

>What happens at a Sunday Assembly?

>A Sunday Assembly service consists of songs (pop songs mainly) sung by the congregation, a reading (usually a poet), an interesting talk (that fits into live better, help often or wonder more), a moment of reflection and an address, which sums up the day and hopefully gives a take home message. Afterwards we have tea and cake (well, in Britain anyway!) to encourage people to stay and mingle with one another. Outside of the event we organise small groups (Smoups), and other social activities such as book clubs and choir, peer-to-peer support and local volunteering.

That may be true, but I'm not sure how you glean it just from the observation that smart companies try to make it as easy as possible for customers to spend money with them. Every smart businessman since the stone age has tried to do the same thing.

Eastern European here. After the fall of the iron curtain, what we really craved for was economic cooperation with the West, liberty of expression and civil and property rights.

Instead, we got US-sponsored liberal NGOs to steer the public opinion in certain directions, NATO military bases to protect us from evil Russia and crappy mass culture in the form of Hollywood movies. It was a great disillusionment for most people.
OCaml also has a native x86 backend, which produces quite efficient code.
One more I don't think is covered, a trademarked product. You sell your GPL'd product, you deliver sources as is required, but only those who paid can build full functional product because it includes components that you can't redistribute (logos, etc).

Probably only works for very complex software, or software where non-code assets would be important (a game).

If I am not mistaken this is what RedHat does with RHEL.
> Even in the Bay Area when I was getting paid $120k with a lot of stock and supporting a family I could still put away $2k/month. (Granted, that was after student loans and all other debt were gone).

Tangential question if you don't mind. I'm currently staring at an offer in the bay area, and the cost of living is mind boggling. Where did you live on that 120k, while still saving 2k a month and having a family? I'm not asking this sarcastically, I'm asking because I'm looking for a place with good schools, 3 bedrooms, and not $5K a month in rent in order to decide whether this is the right move. If that's possible without commuting 1.5-2 hrs each way, I'd really love to know!
Yes, you need the space.

There was a site I was reading some time ago that mentioned with glasses, the geometry of your eyes converging on point nearby (ie slightly 'cross-eyed') doesn't correspond with the eye muscles relaxed, for focusing at 'infinity'. The 'control systems' are likely coupled. I've used glasses with smaller screens, and I've noticed my eyes behaving a bit strange (perhaps seemed harder to focus) when alternating between glasses/no glasses. No idea if there are any other consequences. Maybe it's fine.
Ah, sorry. I never saw such a popover. Probably due to adblock.

My parents taught me (most likely inadvertently) all kinds of financial lessons very early in life. I had a weekly allowance that was earned doing generic chores. There was a list of bigger spring-cleaning-style chores that had their own separate payouts. Most importantly, 50% of everything I "earned" was required to be saved in the bank. The rest was mine. Paying taxes and saving appropriately was never something I had a hard time doing as an adult.
It was a delusional ideology that presumed that democratic systems can be imposed on another country by military force. This wouldn't work even if social democracy were the best possible system. To understand why just invert the circumstances and imagine China attempting to impose a (even superior) political system on the United States following an invasion or via foreign intelligence meddling. Do you think that would work?

In a sense basic income would be an improvement over this in that the money would be going to everyone instead of primarily to the rich.
>I don't see UBI as freedom. It shares a lot with slavery, in that someone else is feeding you, and therefore has control over you.

Right now, the labor market is feeding you, and very directly has control over you. You don't pick out where you think you can make the greatest contributions to humanity, you pick the job field that lets you make rent/mortgage each month.

Mind, I'm all in favor of fully automated luxury space homesteading, but a UBI or something like it will probably be an inevitable part of how we "convince" the economy to switch models from centralized infrastructure with competing workers to decentralized infrastructure with independent, mostly self-sufficient families and communities.
For what it's worth, I didn't find your comment condescending at all and was puzzled at that remark.
Flipping this around, I find it remarkable that, in the realm of Free Software, we can be having a serious conversation about the applicability and appropriateness of capitalism.

This is part of what I love about ideas like UBI. If I could feel secure in my long term badic needs, I’d like nothing more than to dedicate myself to socially rewarding purposes.
I've been using a 100cm/39" Seiki 4K for about 3 years and wish for a physically smaller 4K screen. Using eye glasses with progressive lens I have to move my head too much with this screen and after long periods of use I find that I have neck strain.

I love the 4K pixels but 100cm/39" is simply too much surface area for a monitor used for primarily small text. My next monitor will probably be a 69cm/27" 4K and hopefully OLED if they fix the burn-in issues that make OLED unsuitable for computer use.
It's more than the expense of paying the money and whether people will continue to work. What needs to also be closely studied is:

- Effect on crime

- Effect on drug addiction

- Effect on family outcomes

- Effect on education opportunities

I'd gladly pay more taxes if I could draw a direct link between UBI and a safer, happier society.

In my case I think a small N might more likely be the issue if there is one (only ~50-70 professors for me). I am very keenly aware of every professor that has banned laptops (after struggling through an entire semester), and none of them were the star professors.

Not on that scale. QE is more than an order of magnitude smaller, and already that is at the limit of what economists feel “safe” doing.
To me the lynchpin is the monumental catastrophe represented by Iraq War II and the entire decades-long Middle East quagmire in general. It's been nothing short of national suicide, especially when one considers what else might have been done with all that money. We almost literally set the surplus of an entire American generation on fire and watched it burn.

The neocons are the worst villains but not the only ones. They just represent the peak of a flow of lemmings over that cliff that began in the 1970s and 1980s.

We will be repaying the cost of these wars both in absolute terms and in terms of lost opportunity for generations, and we have absolutely nothing to show for it. We will pay not only with money but with internal strife, political extremism, and lost international prestige. Our involvement in the Middle East may be the worst series of decisions in the history of human civilization when considered in terms of the magnitude of that which was lost.
Tried to go through the course a few years ago. In my case it was the regex bit. Trying to write the code is a massive chore with with very little payoff for going through it, and needing to go through the instructions several times in a row. Gave up on the course there.
The most optimistic summary of your argument that I can produce is "There is a general purpose programming model which supports verification at a very fine grained level, encompassing both computation and effects".

This is great! I'm a bit puzzled by why you're combative against the Haskell community on this issue because I believe they would be one of the early adopters of such new technology.

That being said, there are a few unanswered questions.

1. How do we really get the feel for the benefits of this model? Sure, I can struggle through tutorials on TLA, white papers on Daedalus, and the Eve live demo, but from the little I've seen it's not yet obvious to me how they solve my problems as a day-to-day jobbing programmer. The benefits of Haskell, on the other hand, became clear to me after browsing the Haskell Reddit and noticing that pretty much every post solved a problem I was currently having in my Python codebase.

2. Does the model you're describing really handle polymorphism and higher order functions? Given that polymorphism and higher order functions are known to be incompatible with set theoretic models I remain sceptical.
