"I'm saying we don't allocate wealth properly"

But wealth isn't really "allocated". To use the previous examples of Rowling and Notch, no one allocated millions of consumers to buy their product. Millions of individuals decided to freely spend their own money on Harry Potter and Minecraft.
This completely reflects my experience too, as I recently got back to building line of business apps and clients were impressed by the snappiness of basic Rails apps with server rendered templates. Like you said the impact on complexity (and also important on productivity) of going the SPA route for this kind of apps is not justified for me.
This seems like something that should be handled by the application's developer. A different application's popup or focus steal should be managed by the window manager / OS.
Interesting, this is pretty much the only thing I use Siri for and it works great in my experience.

I am a libertarian. I can tell you, for a law abiding citizen, bitcoin is no better than a dollar. You still have to pay taxes on it, report it to the IRS and it's still subject to whatever regulations the government wants to put on it, for example 10k/20k reporting requirements, etc. If the gov wants your money, they will find you, one way or another.

That's why I mentioned the law of large numbers. But I see your argument - you're arguing that the variance in the probability distribution representing "opportunity" is so great that the measured outcome could be anything.

But this seems like "too convenient" an explanation to me, it could be used to justify literally any system. For any system, one could assert that actually the opportunity is equal, but the variance is so great that the measured outcome "accidentally" arose out of the totally-equal-honest "opportunity" probability distribution.

I'm not prepared to accept such weak justifications of any supposed equal-opportunity system, I'd prefer to have a system where the outcome provided me with some verifiable indicator that the original opportunities were actually equal, in a similar sort of way where one can have verifiable proofs in cryptographic protocols.
Not only this, but also things like `clj myscript.clj` are, I think, useful to beginners.
I don't think it's foolish. When it shows up as often it does, it's smart to see if it applies there.

You can verify it, but it seems like a smart hypothesis to start with rather than assuming the inverse.
I agree. That's what I do, just a thought experiment for the above comments who say they get engaged at certain driving behaviors. When I was younger I used scaugh at people who stopped under bridges during inclement weather, I've seen enough accidents that now I just assume they have enough to live for that 20 minutes isn't worth the added risk.

My experience with bugzilla is that it is a place where users are ignored and told they are not part of a large enough portion of the user base to be significant for using linux, or for using alsa or for needing an option to keep the previous interface.

I do not dare going close to mozilla's bugzilla, it has been a waste of my time almost every time and taking abuse and frustration is not exactly an enjoyable experience.

But hey this does not really matter anymore as after over 15 years of supporting mozilla I have had enough of its utter nonsense and have now left firefox with the firm intent to never return and have stopped supporting anything mozilla while actively hoping it will fail and disappear, the sooner, the better.

Way too much disdain for the people using firefox, too much discrepancy between the marketing and the actual thing. Alienating long time supporter one by one is probably not the smartest strategy but hey what do I know, mozilla is making hundred more millions with a fraction of the past user base so they're probably successful by their own metrics.
Hey didn't I see an article on the same website claiming Musk made some claim about semi which can't be true because of battery costs? I'm on phone so I couldn't double check it easily. Apologies if my memories are failing me.

Gracenote (the people who bought and closed CDDB) offer music identifying to anyone who wants to license it. I remember Sony Ericsson feature phones all had this feature powered by gracenote. I would assume that's what Apple is using.
I heard the Soundhound search tech under the hood was much better... but I guess Shazam has the mindshare.
The high transaction fees are forcing Bitcoin in this direction. If buying a hamburger cost you $30 in fees on top of the $6 burger, you'd stop using dollars for everyday purchases, too.

Seems we're stuck in this situation so long as the block size remains where it is. That artificially reduces the supply of transactions, forcing the price up. No matter how many miners there are competing for those transaction fees, there can never be more transactions. The transaction market is really one half of a market, or a market with a "supply ceiling".

It's ironic that Bitcoin's transaction count is essentially limited _by fiat_---by fiat of the Bitcoin code that implements the block limit.

But given the relative failure of forks that increase that block limit, it seems Bitcoin is what it is and other coins will have to pick up that slack.
Sony Ericsson feature phones apparently had the feature since 2006(!) http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20060523005400/en/Grac...
Wonder if Shazam asks for location? If yes I don’t see why they need it as a user. If no then this metric might be difficult.
It did ask me, and only once, when I updated to 57.01 or something.
Red Bull sponsors an amazing variety of cultural events as well as athletes including in some exceedingly niche sports as well as very very expensive endeavors (running effectively two formula 1 teams, fleet of old expensive to maintain aircraft, etc).

Their marketing budget must be massive. My understanding is the unit cost of any kind of drink is very low and its entirely a market-dominance driven game so the spend makes a lot of sense especially when they command a premium price.

A system where anyone can rent out their CPU time will result in less centralization than we see with current cloud providers. A system where anyone can mine productively will result in less centralization than we see with current cryptocurrencies. Will it result in zero centralization? No, and I wouldn't expect it to. That's most likely impossible.

Technically they can try, by selling users coin in a fractional reserve model. This is probably already being done by some exchanges.

Ok. Let's see from another side on this point.

If you are beginner Rails developer who doesn't know how to configure Webpack properly and doesn't know how to works with React/Vue/Ember?

Enterprises tend to stay in their local optimum until they are pushed out, and are forced by a competitor to look for another cow to milk. And there’s a reason for that - finding another cow to milk is expensive and risky.

If Tesla had not been created, those other enterprises would have milked the gasoline cow for way longer.. perhaps another decade? I’m grateful that Elon is sticking out his neck on a daily basis, potentially slowing global warming as a result.

This is also getting more mainstream coverage (e.g. http://www.newsweek.com/alzheimers-symptoms-worsened-canola-...), but reading through the study I'm not entirely clear on how much impact there really is (and I don't have the scientific background to interpret it).

The first thing that REALLY jumped out at me: The mice fed canola supplement were significantly heavier by the end of the study. I'm perhaps not so surprised, because I'll phrase this differently: "In a 1-year study, mice fed a higher-fat diet gained more weight than mice fed a 'standard' diet." I'd really like to see is a study comparing similar diets with other oils to help identify whether the differences seen are related to the oil or to the overall calorie load and percentage of fat, because that change right there could invalidate a chunk of their results or at least indicate that they're being too specific. The discussion in the paper references clinical trials centered on olive oil, but I didn't see anything about them actually replicating existing trials but using a different oil.

Yes, ad sales finance the products. But most of the products are not sold. A product/content creator doesn't need to do sales, if they are willing sign up for whatever the ad business is offering ($X CPI, user activity data, etc). Only one side of a transaction needs to sell. The other can simply choose to accept an offer.

That's an interesting hidden pitfall of increasing income inequality and wealth concentration. Companies like Coca Cola got huge because their target market was basically every American - rich or poor. If income inequality continues to rise a more profitable strategy might be selling very expensive beverages to the wealthy instead, leaving the poor underserved. This is already happening with prestige, "health" beverages like cold-pressed juice and Kombucha.
I hadn't actually considered adoption at any scale - I just thought the overall approach was cool, and the code might be useful to folks looking for this exact thing. The PSRs were lurking in the back of my thoughts during the cleanup for publication, though. Argh. They're a bit outside my normal coding style.

Re: libsodium, there will be optional support for it at some point precisely because it's going into the core, but I try to do all my components like this with no required dependencies. I'm not even entirely satisfied with Lockbox requiring the openssl extension, but that's far preferable to yet another homespun AES implementation.
And the Android version of Shazam, if we're speculating along those lines.
A man claimed to be an "electrical engineer", and was fined for doing so, because the word "engineer" was taken in context to mean "traffic engineer", which is a licensed title.

The issue I take to this is that you must have a recognized title to claim knowledge.

This has two problems:

1. People outside of a group of recognition have unnecessary difficulty giving input. This degrades the "public" aspect of the forum.

2. Common words like "engineer" are redefined to have more authority than they do outside the forum. This means that those with broad engineering expertise and knowledge that is applicable to the subject are considered to not have any applicable knowledge or expertise.

It may be reasonable to require credentials from someone who is doing the engineering, or someone who makes final decisions.

It is not reasonable to require credentials from everyone who uses a noun to describe him or herself.

If you want credentials from someone who claims to be an engineer, then you can ask for them. Credentials need not be assumed.

There are positions like MD, EMT, Police Officer, etc. that do imply credentials. These titles inherently require trust and respect, so claiming one without credentials is fraudulent. "Engineer" does not fit into that category.

The idea won't work.

In TX, all highways have clear signs saying "LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY", and guess how many people notice them?

I've also known people who think it's OK to be in the left lane if they're going the speed limit.

Do you think these people will be educated by waving a sign in front of them from a motorcycle? They'll just get angry.

1. "It also tends to be better for the survival of the population as a whole though it does tend to lead to an overall weakening of the population though as only the biggest and strongest animals, that should be breeding, get removed."

Where did you pull this from? Man has already greatly interfered with any Mother Nature theory.

2. Yes--you're probally right on the hunters who pay to kill--a rich human is the only species I know of who hunts because they love killing, and they probally do pay. It's something I've never understood about the wealthy; Why can't they just give without a payoff.
On the spectrum here. People like us seem to be able to obsessively focus on certain kinds of problems, both to our detriment and our great success. I apologize for generalizing here. Anyone who tries to tell your son to set his sights lower than anything he wants to achieve is an asshole and they should be shown the door.

I'm busy finding my own success right now and I've finally found a niche where I fit. Previously I've been told that I was stupid, I would never be an engineer, I would never succeed, etc. My current team loves my work. Doors are opening for me. It's all hard work.

I have the same affliction as you, but extensions have helped a ton.

The only downside has been that I must have an Internet connection to restore the tabs.

Additionally, they're not good enough.

I've helped a friend go through a traumatic ER experience where she suffered 3 strokes and they released her from ER 3 times saying she was fine before she called me for help. We got her psych-eval'd so that they couldn't release her for 72 hours, so they had to run tests, and lo and behold, they did the CT that showed she had 3 strokes. This was at a world famous hospital.

Sadly, this isn't an exceptional story. Most folks don't believe it until they've experienced something like this personally. While I hope most people never have to experience this, we need more people to understand that this is a real problem.

Anytime you're in a hospital, make sure you or someone close to you (ideally w legal authority to make decisions on your behalf) can fight for your care.

Point is, yes they are amazing compared to an alternative of nothing. We have come far. But we can do better. They are by no means a paragon. Pick any part of healthcare, and there's room for improvement.
Is that an appropriate comparison?
If I pay my insurer $X in premiums, and they pay $X for health care, is that 2*$X GDP , vs if the government collects taxes (not GDP) and then pays $X for my healthcare?
I pay (more precisely, my employer pays for me) more in health insurance premiums than I do in income taxes, so this isn't really surprising. Unless you're commenting on the magnitude of the project, then yes, it's something usually attempted by nations.

You strongly prefer a public option, or single payer.

You are open to trying basic income.

Do you think we should have laws and regulations to protect the environment?

If so, then I think you have graduated from Libertarian to Liberal. Ha ha! I did the same thing after I realized that a true free market libertarian ideal is easily abused by corporations and the wealthy, and the common man has no chance.
That's a silly way to look at it. They're paying for a service that Mozilla provides to them, as a business transaction. Being a "do good" company obviously doesn't mean requiring that of every one of your customers: There's not a company in the world that isn't economically connected to something you'd consider "evil" by a couple degrees of separation at most.
The complex features, lots of syntax and many ways to do things are not a problem for experienced devs in a particular language. The real trouble comes when these experienced folks leave the project for something more challenging and you start with newbie devs with no experience and they feel demotivated when they come across these tricky features and abstractions which requires months of conditioning. At that point, all you want to do is make a meaningful contribution in the reasonable amount of time increasing your motivation level. The beginning is the hardest part.
I think the age of convincing other people to use a language is over, you have to find that out for yourself, like I imagine many of use who love clojure have done.
What kind of convoluted reasoning is behind this antifeature ? Please do not alter or change user space. Please consider how this kind of thing impacts the life of the many people who struggle with computers.
Understand that this entails on what's left of trust one could still have with mozilla.

Or don't as I'm personally not affected and already have grown a deep mistrust for mozilla.
No one who owns BTC wants it used for transactions. They want it to be an investment and go up forever, so they'll never go with a fork that allows it. It's like home owners in a neighborhood locking out new construction so their own homes raise in value.

> If that's the case why would the 99% allow such an economy to be built?

Allow? I'm pretty sure they don't need to allow anything. Media is becoming more potent at manipulating public opinion and the politician with the most donations can afford the best media. Whether his/her actual policies are in the material interest of the 99% voter is irrelevant.

Just note how much of the most recent election hinged on social signifiers instead of economic policy.

Allow me to make a farfetched analogy: Bitcoin is like Obamacare. Obamacare wasn't made perfect the first time; this is normal. The way you fix issues with complex legislation, is you have it passed by significant members of both parties, so that you can revisit it the next year and fix things. But, with no trust between parties, the Dems had to get everything right in one go, when they had both houses and the White House, and guess what, there were problems. Which we can't fix.

Bitcoin wasn't made perfect the first time. No problem, all software that becomes popular does, and all new financial arrangements (money, credit, credit cards, etc.) had unforeseen problems that had to get worked out. But, with no government involved, there is no mechanism for working things out. It's not surprising that everything wasn't perfect, or that things need fixing later; the issue is that no one has the mandate to do it.
