Trump's legislative record is indeed a mixed bag at best, and the healthcare reform attempt has been an unquestionable failure. But he can't legislate by himself, so the Congress plays a major role there. But if you look at his regulatory record, where he can act alone, his actions has been much more efficient.

> http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37982000

This is not really a good list - e.g. Trump never really promised "Ban on Muslims" - it said once something that could be interpreted this way, and walked it back very quickly. And, as you know, Supreme Court did agree with him on travel restrictions (which aren't "ban on Muslims").

Also, saying all illegal immigrants "have to go" is not the same as saying he will deport all of them, let alone in the first year. It's like politician saying "murder is wrong" and then BBC would quote statistics of murder still happening as evidence of broken campaign promise. One should distinguish ideal picture as a statement and realistic possible picture as a policy.

He also never promised to "ditch NATO", not even close. He made some sounds that how the alliance is arranged is obsolete, but walked most of it back, and what remained was about how much money each member pays.

He did not make any specific promise on prosecuting Clinton. Even BBC notes the most he said is "fresh investigation", not prosecution. Investigation and prosecution are very different things. Of course, many Trump supporters would like to see Clinton prosecuted, but that doesn't mean Trump promised anything specific there.

Overall, BBC interpretation sounds very distorted, treating genuine campaign promises (like Obamacare reform) and random campaign rhetoric or random interview phrasethat was subsequently either substantially modified or completely abandoned by the election time as same kind of promise and rating them alike. This is a shoddy job.

$0 in revenue: The story of Hot Barber
simple sure but let's talk about what it would take to give a meaningful dividend to all americans

If we used a conservative 3.5% average return to give $1,000 USD for each American (~325M) you need nearly 10 Trillion dollars in this fund or over half of our yearly GDP.

Now keeping in mind this would need to be generated from a tax on some good/service/capital which obviously has a cost component at it's base. Just getting the initial 10Trillion in a fund would be ridiculously hard. Now add to that the fact that 1k is a pittance and figuring out a true basic income -- this is wayyyy more complex.

I'd like to point out a HUGE fallacy in this "simple" plan -- it only works in low population high natural capital resource areas. Alaska and Norway happen to be relatively remote/cold places with an abundance natural gas/oil. Norway's 1T dollar fund would be comical at US scale.
This sounds an awful like a privatized social security system (that everyone knows would be abused...)

> Also, I don't see what's the legal problem with spying on your competitors. I mean, Google and Facebook are spying on their customers, and the law apparently has no problem with that.

It's not spying, it's doing so illegally. Facebook and Google don't do that. The letter accuses Uber of doing just that, and that's pretty damned relevant in a case where Uber stole trade secrets.

>> A Linux kernel module is a piece of compiled binary code that is inserted directly into the Linux kernel, running at ring 0, the lowest and least protected ring of execution in the x86–64 processor.

The author seems to be implying that rings are implemented at the processor level for x86-64 processors. If I’m interpreting the wording correctly that’s interesting! Coming from the ARM world I’d always thought that rings were an OS construct.

I've looked into doing this as well. Have you found monitors that a.) switch inputs without many seconds of delay b.) switch using keyboard input as opposed to banging on balky switches on two displays? My expectation is one button and no delay, not switching the input devices and then switch two monitors one after the other, because I expect to switch frequently. Also, the buttons on a lot of monitors aren't really intended to be used terribly hard; they wear out. Maybe capacitive buttons solve this, I guess, but those can be flaky as well for other reasons.

>Centralized institutions do provide a safety net, but is there anything necessarily wrong with a group of people saying they don't want or need that?

Unfortunately, there is. Until pyramid schemes and Ponzi schemes came under strict regulation, enormous social harm was caused when people lost their life savings to such schemes.

You might think, as a technically sophisticated HN reader, that you don't need the nanny state to protect you in this way. But well-educated people tend to be one of the biggest victims of these schemes, because 1) they have newly-acquired wealth; 2) they are too arrogant to realize that their expertise in their own field does not translate to expertise in investing; 3) they probably know people in their social circle who have gotten rich (temporarily) on one of these "investments", and then let greed and envy override common sense.

Even Isaac Newton is reputed to have lost a large fortune in the South Sea Bubble (though sources are unclear) [1]

So no, you are not allowed to waive the safety net.

Yes, but you should address the root of the problem, not all the little symptoms. The issue isn't "Google has the power and occasional reason to remove search results"... the issue is "Google is so big/dominant that when they remove a single result it can have a huge impact".

If anti-trust is your concern, make Google smaller. Regulate what % of marketshare they are allowed to control. Don't allow them to purchase any more competitors. Do things that are actual anti-trust prevention. Saying that the solution is to regulate all these little edge cases is ineffective and inefficient, because you need a different regulation for each concern that are all rooted in the same sentiment: Google is too big.

I've yet to see a diverse company with no inequality, let alone a diverse society.

On that note, I wonder how feasible it would be to have a company who uses profit to fund an endowment and then later vows to only pay employees a percentage of the gains from said principal. That'd be neat (assuming you could find employees to agree to said payment method).

Assuming the company has no shareholders, wouldn't it exist in perpetuity? If this works, perhaps a similar scheme could work to fix real life inequality -- force rich people to invest their money and give the gains to the poor. Rich people don't lose any money (other than the opportunity) and poor people thrive. Win win?

To most users in most places, there's nothing particularly notable about Uber. They have an unsavory reputation if you move in certain rarefied technical or political circles, but not among the general public. My parents, who are by no means ignorant or uneducated, would be completely unable to comment on why Uber might have a bad reputation.

Cool, thanks. Though they seem focused on the digital side: synthesis and formal verification of HDL code. IMHO that world is served fairly well by existing tooling, as it's fundamentally a software problem that looks like other software problems.

Where what I want to see (or do, at least in my dreams) is closer to the analog end: design of parametrized cells, GPU-parallel large circuit analog simulation, circuit-dependent optimization (i.e. choose "speed" if the cell is on a critical path, "area" or "power" if not, optimally choose drive strength and buffers based on latency needs of the path, swap flip flop implementations likewise, etc...) place and route, eventually mask file generation, reverse synthesis and design rule checking (though obviously that part becomes fab-specific).

None of this stuff is "hard" in a fundamental way, but it's been hidden behind bad tooling for so long that no one seems to have tried to innovate much in the past few decades. Anyway, I got ideas aplenty.
The block chain is good in so far as it is useful. I'm seeing a whole bunch of people deploy it where anonymous trust is not a requirement.

Whose behavior are you saying should be illegal?
Yeah, it's just impossible to know how biased this interpretation or the initial statements from the professor were.

Lots of things like these are discussed in the same way as physics professors say: "Imagine an infinite frictionless plane" - that it's a model for thinking about concepts and not a policy plan.

Imagine a completely borderless world where the only goal is literally economic efficiency - capital and labor are able to migrate freely anywhere and anything less is harmful in a strictly economic sense.

Practically, that's a bad idea for lots of reasons (like it might be economically efficient for someone to murder me, but I'd find it rather inconvenient) - so maybe some rules about passage of criminals and you can go on from there.
I agree in principle. Alaska's state fund has worked phenomenally well. But there's a problem -- coincidentally one Alaska has recently faced. A fund with meaningful returns would be measured, quite rapidly, in the trillions of dollars. That is an enormous incentive to 'borrow just a little from' to solve this issue or that issue.

Alaska has been facing a multi billion dollar budget deficit as they recklessly spent during times of high oil prices -- ironically not dissimilar to the events that led to the initial creation of the fund. So what was their solution? The governor unilaterally slashed payments from the fund - a decision that was challenged and then upheld in the state courts. We can write all the sort of legalese we want to try to prevent this from happening, but I think the current state of society illustrates quite clearly that laws are subject to the views of those in power. For instance are the actions of the NSA and CIA the sort of government programs the founding fathers intended to allow when passing the 4th amendments? I doubt many would say yes, yet here we are.

And I'm not even considering the inevitable graft involved in the management of such a monumental fund. Ultimately, I just do not think this sort of idea is possible in the US on a national level. State level initiatives are a very interesting idea, however.
I've been crusading against two factor auth for a while now, including being against email as recovery/revocation fallback.

- SMS is insecure, both from a protocol and from a social engineering point of view. Google Authenticator is better, but still has fatal flaws.

- We use email for casual communication and security-sensitive account changes. This is a disaster. What happens if Google bans your account by mistake, or a thief steals your phone and decides to data-mine/destroy your online life?

- I have yet to see a two factor auth protocol with decent recovery ("I lost my phone") and revocation ("the thief used my phone to login and kick me out"). The instructions are usually "make a new backup for every new account if the site supports" and "tough luck", respectively.

Our online lives are more important than ever. Hearing "I'm sorry, you lost every single online account you ever had" is going to become recurrent unless we change our ways.

IMHO I think the best solution would look something like SQRL (https://www.grc.com/sqrl/sqrl.htm).

EDIT: I'm not against adding two-factor to a website that only has username+password. I personally use two-factor everywhere I can. My point is that this is not a good combo, from a security and usability point of view. But still better than just passwords.
Taxes are paid in dollars, so when your dollars change value because of inflation or deflation, your taxes will go up or down by the same amount because they are being paid in the same currency. A dollar can never inflate or deflate relative to itself.

You seem to be trying to make the analogy of bitcoin being a currency, so a better comparison would be to look at tax law for foreign currencies. Luckily, the IRS puts out documents about that very thing: https://www.irs.gov/pub/int_practice_units/fcu_cu_c_18_2_1_0...

Now, whether bitcoin is a currency or an asset is not fully settled, although the IRS treats it as an asset, not a currency: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-virtual-currency-guidance

Vincent says that building a solo business requires you to work on a boring idea, i.e. something everyone already knows the value proposition of, e.g. punch card on computer.

How does one learn about these "mundane" issues that small business owners face? The examples I've seen from Vincent / Patrick McKenzie (patio11) are happenstance (e.g. I happen to hang out in this community, so I know). Like many of us here, I'm an engineer in a tech company and does not naturally have small business owners in my circle.

So what's an efficient way to reach out and understand small businesses' problems? Online forums (which one?), local business associations?

I like them because they're really trying to solve the problems around decentralized storage. Storage will be a very valuable resource for a long time to come, so anyone who can make it cheap and make it work well will have solved a valuable problem. Take a look at the companies that have invested money in them (Google is one), and you'll see that they have strong interest in what the team is doing. And I'm not talking about millions, but more like normal investment money to fund hiring of people. Here's an article about them:

The end result is a basic income, but this is more about how that would be accomplished, and it ties the income to the wealth if the country.

The income is drawn from a dividend on a kind of sovereign wealth fund which would be gradually capitalized with government assets, increased wealth and capital gains taxes, and possibly directly via the Fed (rather than the Fed capitalizing private banks).

This is in contrast to other schemes that directly pay the UBI based on more progressive taxation.

In the end it is still redistributive, but it redistributes capital downwards and not just income.

ARM has modes which is somewhat analogous to x86 rings.
At least it wasn't GagGland.
Most chips have different privilege levels... ARM processors have 'modes' like User, FIQ, IRQ and Supervisor (sort of the equivalent to ring 0). Different modes can have different access controls, e.g. varying access to memory.

The inequality problem only exists if you look at absolute wealth numbers, and not the level of confort and opportunities that wealth affords.

The amount and the quality of goods and service that is available to even the lower income bracket has never been better; most families can afford access to a car, a washing machine, food from around the world, unlimited entertainment, unlimited knowledge, air travel, telephone, etc. etc.

Put another way, all the money in the world can't buy you a better phone than a 1000$ one, and that phone is only marginally better than a 100$ one, which everybody can afford. And that is how it works for most things nowadays.

The reason people are so pissed about inequality, is that despite people having material and service equality like never before, social status remain extremely unequal. But that is human nature, and no amount of money redistribution can change it.
