I'm totally with you on fixing affordable housing and healthcare, and that a UBI can only do so much without fixing those problems.

I don't buy the idea that UBI will make it harder to solve those problems. I think UBI will make it easier to fix those problems because it would free up more peoples' time (especially the lower and middle class) to be politically active and fix these fundamental problems. Right now nothing is really improving because the wealthy who've bought out the politicians don't care, and the poor have no time or energy to protest because they're too busy working multiple jobs and worrying about whether or not they'll make rent next month.

> You can't still work if all the big wigs with the power to create jobs are not bothering to make work available because you have your UBI.

Jobs aren't some kind of charity case that companies offer to appease the financially desperate masses. Jobs are created when there's a need for labor, and they believe the revenue generated by the labor will offset the wages. UBI does not mean that companies go "well looks like the masses don't need our money anymore, we can finally take away these jobs". Businesses are there to maximize profit, and UBI doesn't change that.

UBI however would massively increase the bargaining power of laborers by giving them the option to walk away. Wages of jobs that nobody wants to do but are services that we need would rise. We'd probably see more people opting to work less hours. The whole dynamic of interviews would change in favor of the laborer (as opposed to right now where the employer has the upper hand). Overall, it'd be a massive boon to labor.
I've had to actively downplay my work because my productivity is too high without all the meetings and other distractions. Coworkers get jealous and begin causing problems otherwise.
I prefer a subreddit because stackexchange usually has too many silly rules that attract the "bureaucrats at heart". These people are more about malicious compliance and less about topic at hand.
I don't give a shit about what the "motivations" of the company are. I said:

> This strategy implicitly assumes

That is the real objective assumption that any implementation of this strategy makes (or the other "asshole" choices).

Good intentions are worthless if they can't work mathematically.

I can only find one German article about it, maybe they were just throwing ideas to see how the public would react: http://winfuture.de/news,100802.html

Ah I found the interview:

https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/company/porsche-digitalizati...

> Which solutions are relevant for a brand like Porsche?

> We will increasingly offer functions “on demand”. That means that the costumer can buy new functions at any time if needed – including long after buying the car and, where applicable, only temporarily. Be it as a one-off for a fee, as a flat rate or as a subscription.

> Which functions do you offer on demand?

> For example, it would be possible to combine modules from the area of autonomous driving individually. Imagine that you could use a software update to download a few more PS over-the-air at short notice if you want to head to the racetrack on the weekend – or dynamic headlights if you are headed for a long night drive.
If I can buy a 1080 for $100 when they flood ebay, I'm willing to take my chances.
I won't lie, when I first started using Spacemacs it kinda blew my mind there were no tabs; I don't really mind it now that I've installed unimpaired and can cycle through buffers with ]b and [b.
>You are buying expensive computers to solve mathematical puzzles with the desperate hope that it will get you get rich fast

there are plenty of worse hobbies and professions to get rich quick. Like buying lottery tickets and investment banking.

Instead of focusing your tangent on a small group of individuals, why not focus on entire industries built to destroy the environments?
It already had network latency to deal with, so I suspect it doesn’t matter. Also KPTI can be disabled if one really wants
Would love to hear more about this, you should do an article/post!
Gridlock by design maybe, but you still have a big government costing a lot of money without efficient management. Best example is healthcare. The US spends far more per capital than any other country without adequate results. Same for infrastructure. There was an article a few weeks ago describing how expensive building is compared to other countries. The result is always a lot of fingerpointing but no effort finding solutions.
I read it on German news, and found the original quote, in a what looks like an internal interview of Lutz Meschke, Vice President of the Executive Board and Member of the Executive Board, Finance and IT. From their own website:

I don't know... not all web standards worked well in the past: xhtml, appcache, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if web components never got success. Why should anyone use this standard when a library is 10 times better? Being the standard is not enough.
I'd like to point you to the thread Who's Hiring January 2018 for best reference.

True, I use that too, but gets trickier in the middle of the line.
This is a very interesting anecdote. The wage, QoL, amenities, and therefore labor pool asymmetry between larger cities and smaller towns puts many companies in this bind. Without the ability to attract labor, the situation in small towns becomes more and more dire, while competitors closer to the labor pool do better, can hire more part time workers etc. The cost of housing is pretty much the only mediating factor here, but people's expressed preferences seem to be shifting more and more toward cities. If you develop software it can be pretty trivial to relocate. If you run a steel mill, or a welding plant, the cost of moving (actual equipment, environmental controls, square footage) can make it nearly impossible.
Imperfect isolation is always treated as a bug. As a kernel developer if you try to argue otherwise you'll get laughed out of the room and/or fired. Hopefully both.
This impacts everything from mid-range upwards.
A friend of mine, not so well versed in gaming hardware, recently asked me for advice on buying a new GPU, to replace some 3 generation old card he's using.

I recommended him something like a 1060, assuming they'd be reasonably affordable by now, just to discover that they've actually increased in price, especially considering he's on a tight budget.

In 20 years of PC gaming I can't remember a situation comparable to whats going on right now and frankly, it's quite depressing.

With this going on neither Nvidia nor AMD have much reason at all to innovate and keep increasing their performance, as most of their performant cards sell like crazy anyway, which is a horrible situation for consumers.
I'm mostly a Vim user and I could navigate the buffers with its buffer commands, yet I prefer tabs.
Why is building and tuning a mining machine to get the most hashes per second more of a waste than tuning a car to squeeze out the most horsepower?

Maybe nit-picking ... but shouldn't a very sophisticated algorithm precisely incorporate the reliability/speed of the various exchanges (maybe based on past and current latency or downtime which weighs the risk of a transaction not clearing at a given exchange). The smartest algorithm should be able to win such a battle on average.
Depends. Did you tell tell it to burn down?

Unless there will be no crash and/or Ethereum will be replaced by another cryptocurrency that's profitable to mine with GPU's.
FWIW, peanut/soy oil is a pretty good cutting lubricant on the lathe/mill too. (manual machines, that is). It is slippery and can take relatively high heats. And, when it gets hot it smells nice.

Chris King (the bicycle parts manufacturer) uses only soy oil for their machining operations because it has a lower environmental footprint and can be safely recycled.
Seconded, Dynalist is like workflowy if they continued to improve the application. Totally worth moving to since workflowy is on life support
Haha 1) this is crazy 2) I think it'd be more fun to train the data set against Christmas trees. The Eiffel tower's lights don't much resemble other buildings since the lighting is decorative and not functional. Much closer to a Christmas tree ;-)
> RAM is also sky high and I do video editing from time to time an want at least 16 GB in my rig. That would cost $100 18 months ago and now thats $225+ also due to the miners.

That is crazily out of whack. Back in 2011 I bought 8Gb (2x4Gb, 1333Mhz) for in my 2009 15” MBP and it cost me €25 secondhand. Worked like a champ too, even transferred it to the computer of my little brother when I upgraded to a new MacBook.
The founder of Linden Labs, Philip Rosedale, recently released his new VR only successor to second life, Sansar (https://atlas.sansar.com/). It seems pretty promising.
There are techniques and services to provide for availability on 800 number routing. You would still be subject to the selected carrier's ability to route your calls out of the local area. Otoh, the car could fallback to 911 if the commercial routing didn't provide positive confirmation.

That said, I don't know if they do fallback, and I don't know if there's any public reporting of availability incidents of these types of service centers like there is for 911 failures.
Private investigator and hacking service is available
They say information is the greatest tool one can ever have. The quality of information available determines how far you can go I have read some posts on here saying Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter,Instagram, gmail and other applications/accounts can't be hacked. I personally believed that too but the moment I have access to some basic information, I knew anything can be hacked.

I met a computer guy named the technology genius not too long and he said something to me; he said "anything internet/computer can be hacked, everything has a hole". I got convinced when he hacked into my girlfriend's gmail account, Facebook account and at the same time, her WhatsApp account. I know it's somehow bad, don't blame me. I needed to be sure. This dude gets into accounts like a GENIUS. UNNOTICED,UNTRACEABLE AND UNTOUCHED. You won't know he was in and out of your account and I'm pretty sure that is why he called himself the TECHNOLOGY GENIUS. He is so different from other hackers and what makes him different is his GENIUS CHARACTERISTICS.

The Genius is taking back the term “Hacking” which has been soured in the public mind. Hacking is an art form that uses something in a way in which it was not originally intended. This highly creative activity can be highly technical, simply clever, or both. Hackers bask in the glory of building it instead of buying it, repairing it rather than trashing it, and raiding their junk bins for new projects every time they can steal a few moments away.

To people who doubt if accounts can be hacked, you might want to try this guy out and see for yourself. Moreover, seeing is believing. You can reach him via techgenius47@yahoo.com

Did I mention he does other jobs related to computer/internet too? Oh Yes, he does.

Why don't you reach out to him and let him clear your doubts?
This is an incorrect way to look at this question. There is no where near 5% of the global population (men and women) who are interested in technology. To get at a more accurate number of what the real percent (absolutely not 5%) you'd need to talk about you would first need to look at the entire population's trends before looking at a subset stratified by gender. To further focus this onto a topic I will only be looking at data related to programmers. Looking at some statistics gathered by Wikipedia it looks like there were closer to 1,069,220 actual software development (611,900 + 457,320). During 2016 there were a minimum (to give your 5% figure the best chance) of 150,576,000 employed people [1]. This means that in actuality you're talking about 0.7100086% of employees in "tech" (which I'm taking to mean software development).

If you wanted to talk about gender parity in software development then you would need to use 0.7100086% of women (who are employed) are (expected to be) good at tech, 99.2899914% of women (who are employed) are bad at tech.

There about 387,508 female programmers (.212 mul 473000) + (1536000 mul .187) and about 1,621,492 males ((1536000+473000) - 387508) [2] according to more recent statistics. From the same report it looks like 46.9% of the workforce is female with a total number of 153,337,000 workers for 2017. If we apply the 46.9% number we get 71915053 females. If we further apply our 0.7100086% multiplier we get 510,603 females who we'd predict to be software developers. This number is higher than but close to our 387,508 figure from earlier. This was off by 0.76x

If we apply the same logic to males we will find that of the 81,421,947 (153,337,000 mul .531) working males after we apply our 0.7100086% from earlier we will find that the number we get extremely under-predicts the number of software developers at a predicted 578,102 males. This is off by a 2.8x

I have a few questions that I have not been able to answer. They are as follows:

- Why is my percentage of humans who go into software more accurate for women?
- Why is my percentage of humans who go into software off by 3x for men?
- There are many higher paying and lower effort jobs that are male dominated that men could choose to go into? Why would this skew be so great for software engineering?
- Are there other careers who have a similar factor of inaccuracy except flipped (3x more women then predicted, .7x the predicted number of men?)
- Does this error factor show dependence on salary? Hours worked? Location of jobs?

I know, anecdotally, that none of the other jobs on this list interest me at all while software development is truely my passion. I would find a way to make software development my job no matter what.

because a government bureaucrat does not have the experience/skill/knowledge to invest in such projects. That is what the private investors and markets are for.
You could find somebody who said or thought this very thing each year for the last 20 years.
Do you have any information or statistics or studies to add, or did you just want to post your quippy oneliner?
I love Workflowy. The Broadband Mechanics guys had an excellent web-based outliner. It disappeared and I've always wondered if Workflowy was built from that.
Yup. The moment you need editing capabilities more sophisticated than those three keys, though, I recommend switching to vi input mode (set -o vi) if you are familiar with vim keybindings. Although tapping Esc is not as quick as Ctrl (or, my chosen alternative, Ctrl-[), you have an entire library of editing commands already at your beck and call. I find that using 'f' or 'F' and '.' more quickly triangulates the problem area of the text in most cases.

Of course, if you are an emacs user, more power to you with the emacs bindings.
Why did you feel the need to even comment if you don't care about Duolingo's motivations for hiring people? Of course not every company could have 50:50 with the current pool of software engineers but that's a trivial point. It's true by definition.

EDIT: it's clear that you believe ideology is what's motivating this, despite your claim that you don't care about motivation.

Sarajevo. There, sue me for infringement.

Of course this is not the way it works. I can mention Décathlon and Microsoft even though they are registered trademarks. I can post a picture of the Apple logo when illustrating Apple stuff.

There are things I cannot do (like using them as if they were mine) but mentioning the name is not a problem.

So Sarajevo FTW.

As a side note about the requests from the city of Sarajevo (sorry) to pay for the use of the city : they certainly should protect misuse (false documents for instance) and possibly (though I disagree) commercial use of the name. This is quite common, though enforced to various degrees (usually not, after a few cases which went wrong, for instance in Krakow, Poland).

Fair use will prevail, though this is a real pity we need to come to that

I'm not sure where the equivocation comes into play. You can fully disregard the

"There's absolutely nothing positive about smoking (including the smoker's pleasure)"

and replace it with

"There's absolutely nothing positive about smoking (not including the smoker's pleasure)"

If the statements were intended to stand side by side, that would be an equivocation. But they are not meant to stand side by side, nor would it make much sense to do so.
It is Javascript, but JSX brackets only allow an expression within them. Conditionals are statements in JS, so you have to wrap them in an IIFE or a `do`-expression.
> Rogue Shadow VR says he caught up with the player afterwards on Steam, and that he is doing better now.

Since one of the definitions of "succumb" is "die from the effect of a disease or injury," this title is more than a little clickbaity! Mods, can you potentially edit to "User has seizure..."?
As chief architect he probably has some sway to push FB to open source it.

Even if he can't its pretty hypocritical for him to ask these people to open source their work, allowing Occulus to benefit from it rather than worry about them as competition.
Nope, doesn't work like this, your orders are matched on an exchange before any notification is given.
That's a statement I hear a lot. A good friend wrote his physics dissertation entirely in org mode because of the TeX integration. You can even bring in the custom TeX templates every University's thesis publishing offices unaccountably seem to have.

I'm not saying imperfect isolation isn't a bug. Rather that bugs are inevitable and the proper responce to some bugs being exploited (maliciously or not) is to crash the kernel if there is no other option.
Understanding privacy policies and terms of service has become a nightmare. I wish there was a standard privacy format, which companies could use to define and update their privacy policies. That way, it ll be easier for people to understand

1. What personal data is being used ?

2. What kind of data do websites store in your browser cookie ?

3. Which are the 3rd party tools / services used to share data ?

4. Who are the 3rd parties, the data is being shared with.

> Racial And Gender Inequality

> Opportunity inequality has become so pervasive that minority tech employees are banding together with the explicit purpose of increasing their numbers in the space. If you’re a tech leader, you must fight against this inequality to benefit from talented people of all stripes.

> Racial minorities are woefully underrepresented in the tech industry. And it’s not just a matter of race, either. Many don’t remember it, but women were once much more prevalent in tech. However, the proportion of female computer science students has halved since its heyday in the mid-1980s. And the women who do enter engineering are leaving at an astonishing rate.

> These problems aren’t self-correcting; their resolution requires dedication from leadership. We’re all obligated to take the first step to reverse this worrisome, decades-long minority flight by acknowledging the issue and magnifying diverse voices.

> If our industry has any hope of becoming more inclusive — which is a key step to solving our so-called “talent shortage” — we must be understanding, empathetic and open to others’ viewpoints.

Would you like me to go on? I thought the talent scarcity problem was obvious, but I've got no qualms with more sourcing.
As far as I'm aware, they're just culturing muscle tissue. There is no nervous system, and it is certainly not conscious.
Workflowy.com has export in 3 formats: formatted, plain text and OPML.

OPML is about as standard as you can get in that space.

It also has an option to backup to DropBox every day.

dynalist.io also allows export in plain text and OPML.
I've found tabs to not scale as a UI idiom, generally. They're ok for up to about 10 documents, after that, I'm looking for something else.

I normally use IntelliJ with two panes open, and about 120 tabs between the two of them. But because IntelliJ tabs can't scroll and Java filenames are long, the tab I want to switch to is never visible, and the tab list dropdown is painful to scan. C-n and C-S-n are what I end up using.

And for the browser, I use tree-style tabs. The hierarchy keeps related tabs together, and I can collapse when I do a context switch. The fact I can see all the (top-level) tabs at once in a long list means spatial memory works better.

In emacs, I use Helm and Projectile, bound to F11 and F12 for buffer and project searches. I've bound buffer switching to C-prior and C-next (those are PgUp and PgDown), and since the buffer order is basically a LIFO of whatever buffer you jumped to, the buffer you're looking for is usually within easy scrolling reach.
I imagine most uses of random in Bash don't need to be that robust, but it might be worth mentioning that ${RANDOM}${RANDOM} has a lot of bias as a random number generator.
I think it definitely could have, but it's very hard to determine the trigger for a seizure.

It could not be related to any triggers too (audio/visual).

It can only be identified by review of the person who it happened to... The rest of us are just speculating, and no point in that :)
