I guess the market adjusts, in areas with constrained housing supply the prices rise to the level affordable by working couples, in other areas peoples material expectations rise.

In the end we have moved from women not being able to join the workforce to women not being able to not join the workforce. It doesn't seem an obvious improvement to me, although I should mention I'm not a woman.
If you're not only concerned about bugs but also about people inserting backdoors into your hardware it's not enough to have access to the architecture design, you want to be able to publicly audit and review the entire manufacturing process (to make sure that the design you audited is actually the one etched on the silicon). I doubt Intel & friends would open their high-end fabs to public scrutiny so I think you'd have to use older technology available "in the open". For this reason alone I don't think a truly open processor could compete directly performance-wise with the current high-end CPUs regardless of architectural choices.

You don't want to use LDAP over 'net, foreign services have no business to bind to your LDAP. Use SAML or OpenID-Connect, they do not expose things that should not be exposed. If you are using them consistently, you will get SSO.

> Such improvements tend to spread from rich to poor.

Best example - the mobile phone. Even the poor can get one that is better than the best smartphone of a few years ago.

Access to content has seen a similar trend - we now all have access to massive amounts of information, videos and online conversation. No money needed, so the poor get immediately the same level of access as the rich.
That describes 90% of enterprise security: no reasoned threat model, only stops the most primitive / old attacks, but the vendor has a nice PowerPoint deck and said it’d check a box for the auditors.
The idea being that we automate, design away or do without as much as possible of the scutwork and pay the remainder handsomely. Then people can do the things they like - which may well be highly useful, they just aren't what capitalism will pay for.
Your original question contained the assumptions that, with an UBI, no services will be created, and no one will be paid for services.

None of these are a necessary consequence of people receiving an unconditional amount of money regularly. People can still may want to work for luxuries, or I might want to pay others to sway their personal projects in the direction I prefer.

Plus, maybe some services may be "essential" only under the current working scene, but might become less so if everybody adjusted their way of life to a slower rate of consumerism (buying more virtual goods rather than physical, traveling less, working from home, buying local, etc). A lower income level could be sustainable under those conditions, if some percentage of it is guaranteed.
All I'm saying is that it's not just about housing prices. Hub airports tend to be in densely populated areas where there's simply not much room for a big airport. Schiphol has the advantage that it's in a fairly empty polder with mostly farms, but there are a lot of towns and cities around it.

The decision on whether to allow an airport to expand is a careful balance of a lot of different concerns. An honest government or regulator weighs those concerns honestly, but because of the financial concerns surrounding a big airport, there's always an incentive to game the system.
Main problem I see is that FPGAs themselves are currently not at all open hardware, and they are subject to vulnerabilities and backdoors too.

I live in Brazil and generics for drugs which patents are expired are widely available, accounting for 30~40% of all drug market. If I'm not mistaken, we even broke patents in some cases (HIV drugs), which is cool.
One of the things I am hoping for is a general database of cancers and the mutations they exhibit. By putting them in a database, we may be able to treat based off the mutation instead of the locality in the body. When my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she was given chemo therapy for ovarian cancer that was unrelated to hers in everything but location. Since her cancer was very rare, there was no real study that could have helped. If we start keeping a database, it may help us find new treatments and stop giving dying people ineffective poisons.
Even on a desktop I find its UX annoying.

It only feeds you a morsel of information at a time and you have to wait for stupid animation transitions in between. I read two panels then left.

This information could easily have been presented in a normal HTML document.
It's worth noting that there is some disagreement in recent years whether large scale screening for breast cancer does more harm than good (see lengthy comment I made elsewhere), exactly because this information very often is not so vital and useful (many growths are not lethal, or would be detected soon enough anyway that it doesn't change outcomes), yet can be actively harmful (detection often leads to unnecessary treatments as it may be hard to discern lethal cancers from growths that will never pose a threat, and detection also causes stress and other issues).

You also need to keep in mind that that it is very possible the false positive rate will be per test, in which case with regular screening 1% quickly turns to 10%...
I'm not really interested in these details, and "make bigger buttons" was just an example of what an implication might have been (as indicated by "e.g."). What I tried to criticise was the vagueness of the linked page and the scarcity of information.

Yes, this is exactly it. Slavery was distasteful so we used the modern economy to abstract the slavery out of sight, hide it under the rug. One click buy! Pay no attention to the machine behind the curtain.

As I understand it, according to an article that was posted here a day or two ago, Meltdown was in fact discovered by a young Google engineer poring over the x86 manual.
"Intellectually challenging" that wasn't intellectually challenging for him in the slightest. Having someone constantly misrepresent you isn't "challenging". Challenging is when someone understands what you are saying, follows your line of logic and arrives at a conclusion you weren't expecting. He simply knew he was interacting with a person who bought into a certain worldview and figured the best way to show her how she was wrong was by being a bit light hearted, but showing he wasn't a pushover either.
CAT scans are insufficient to determine if a growth is malignant in many cases. Which would lead you down the road to biopsies, which are also insufficient in many cases. Which would lead to unnecessary radiotherapy, chemo or operations in at least some cases.
Ok. It's becoming a little bit too kindergarten for me here anyway.
This is exactly why I no longer buy from Amazon unless it's something that's pretty much already junk.

I was shopping for a Hario coffee grinder on Amazon and noticed about 10% of the reviews were 1-star as opposed to the usual 5-star reviews. Turns out about 10% of people who bought this item on Amazon received a counterfeit even though it was apparently the manufacturer's own page and listing (if it wasn't I couldn't tell nor figure out how to determine that).

So after researching on Amazon I went to the manufacturer's site, found their list of authorized resellers, and bought it from Williams-Sonoma. I've since bought more items from WS. They should send a thank you card to Jeff Bezos.

I'm a new father now too. Guess where we don't buy any baby stuff from.

That is a lot of wasted time for an already known and fixed bug. At the scale of cloudflare I would have expected them to have a few people intimately familiar with their server hardware and in steady contact with their vendors, and to know and evaluate every firmware update for every component they use.

At my scale, we install whatever is publicly available at a time of our convenience in hopeful trust the vendor knew what they were doing.
On Mac, I personally like Pixelmator for pixel level editing. It feels a bit like the old versions of Photoshop which always did the job for me. At thirty bucks, it's also pretty affordable.

Has nothing to do with phones or being present. It has to do with the fact that someone has a knife. Unless you are armed with a gun, you also won't do anything against a guy with a knife.

Go read about the knife attack on van gogh or any other knife attack. When someone is crazy and wielding a knife, you back away. I forget which world class MMA fighter said it, but he said that if anyone approaches him with a knife, he'd run. That's a world class MMA fighter.

There was an interesting podcast on the guy who stabbed a kid on a bus in canada. As the guy was stabbing the kid, everyone on the bus fled. And then 3 guys got together and decided to board the bus and try to save the kid. When the three guys got back on the bus, the guy showed his knife to the 3 men and they all just left and waited for the police like everyone else.

Also, what's with a vocal minority on HN blaming anything and everything on smartphones and social media? I swear in the past few months, it feels like every HN story with a smartphone or social media angle is being targeted to push an agenda.

Edit: Found the podcast ( sword and scale ep 31 ). Really fascinating podcast and worth a listen if you have the time.
Maybe I expect too much, but when I started reading I was under the impression they were going to have discovered a previously undiscovered bug.

Instead I found they hadn't applied microcode updates and were suffering from a bug that causes. Would it not be devops 101 to monitor what updates are available to your fleet (and selectively apply).

I would expect this of a small company, who don't have the resources to look after their fleet, but not from cloudflare. I also don't get their dig about 'errata', it is standard practice to include post-release hardware faults (and their solutions) in errata.
The problem isn't people not admitting ignorance online. The problem is that the internet might be the cause of people not admitting ignorance in real life.
I don't think the makeup and construction of hackathons has really any bearing on whether "women can compete at the adult table". No serious developer uses "hackathons" to establish their professional reputation anyways --- but many participate for fun, or to network.

Your examples are both about people being sceptical, but then you say:

Are these supposed to be related. Not believing in evolution doesn't mean you do believe in nonsense, for example.

Once you've been around the block a few times it's easy to get cynical about scientific claims. Too much scientism.
Mostly the expensive people are, as you say, the ones screwed by fortune or those whose health declined in the past for whatever reason and their present behavior is not going to be able to fix things even if it contributed to their present poor health.

>Open isn't a magic bullet. As I understand, these latest CPU vulnerabilities were in the spec themselves. You could've found them by reading the manual. See what good that did us.

How about, discovering it? That's one of the points of openness, not somehow being inherently better in a way. At least we have a spec manual in this case.

Also, audits should be peer-reviewed, that's difficult without openness.
I disagree.

I work a full week at one job + 2 nights per week. Feel that I do a lot of unpaid stuff (ie taking care of the household, cooking, ...) but still endlessly hear about how other people "don't have the time".

The useful non paid things that people actually do are greatly overestimated imo, because more often than not it will end up in the "don't have time for it" even though they could manage to find time for it if they really wanted to. Just a matter of priorities.

I'm far from perfect, and I don't do sports (which I also consider an useful non paid thing) for an example. Yet I wish I did, and I totally could if I had some discipline there. But it's not having more time, or less work, that would change it.

It's hard and everyone is lazy and tired, and there are so many easy ways out of the present moment, but the majority really doesn't push themselves much.
I don't think it will go closed source, however I am strongly in the camp prefering GPL licensed code for putting the user first. Toy knowledge Google has not GPLed anything ever, tending to prefer their own open source license.
Its probably necessary but not sufficient for there to be more competition in this area. That there are nationwide shortages of saline bags and sodium bicarbonate indicates massive market failure, without evening considering more complex drug politics.

You raise a good point about drug companies not being the sole source of predatory pricing in US healthcare. US healthcare is in the neighborhood of $3T whereas drug spending is around $300B, though drug spending is going up faster than health spending overall.
If work were disconnected from the profit motive then the quality of work would dramatically rise. The need to make money entails mediocrity and holds us back. Those with a love of their work aren't motivated by money and their love always leads to great works.

I think the author completely glosses over the fact that Loop Quantum Gravity actually does make predictions, and could provide the explanation for fast radio bursts.

Also, the theory is so intuitive and follows such a straightforward logical path from Quantum Mechanics and Relativity, that I would be incredibly surprised if it wasn't the theory closest to actual reality.
Agreed. My wife makes me ask when technology fails and I want to trust my Boy Scout instincts.
I think this view of inequality is misleading. It put emphasis that the top richest should be not rich, or they are not good people. It's a defeating viewpoint that blames other for not having success.

When in fact top 10% richest helped much more people along the way than all average combined. And the consequence is being rich.

Instead of complaining about inequality (aka making the rich poorer), better to think about how to make the poor richer.
Plus the associated illustration (on Laws of UX) seems to agree with you.
I tried to but couldn't figure out what was actually third party or not. Even reviews on items that looked to be first party listings warned of fakes. Then I decided to stop wasting my time and wait for Amazon to figure their shit out.

Co-mingling breaks that. What happens is even though you buy from seller 1, they will send you seller 2s item if its in a warehouse closer to you.

The only way to avoid this is to by things only sold by 1 seller.

> I think the problem have more to do with software, CPU's are just built to meet the demands.

> Today most software can only scale if you add a faster processor, that has to stop, before that happens, there is not much the processor manufacturer can do, their hands are tied IMO

These are not recent developments, chip makers could have opted not to use them and software developers would have done otherwise.

The hardware is developed to make the existing software faster, but the software is also developed to run well on the current hardware.
As far as I understand, in the USA it's not actually illegal to buy counterfeit goods, only to sell them.

Pharma researcher here (on the early science side, not market research or that kind of thing)

I think people vastly overestimate their physicians' ability to stay on top of newly published research, and that includes new drugs' safety and efficacy profiles. If I want the stuff I work on to reach patients (and I do), then I want doctors to know about it. In the absence of pharma marketing dollars aimed at doctors and patients, I would like if there were some way to bring doctors the new information. Maybe that should be handled by a third party that doesn't have the interests of pharma companies in mind, funded by all of the drug companies at the time of a new drug approval.
Yes that is in essence all that needs to be said. Work is just one manifestation of competition between individuals driving us to outdo others.

Of course if we weren't occupied by work all day then we'll find something else to compete in and "stress" ourselves about. And don't we already do this to some extent through innumerable athletic/mental feats like climbing mountains, and other ways that are essentially displays of wealth like a vacation in Haiti and so on. This is a simplification, one can successfully argue that many of these activities have "inherent" benefit besides signaling but that aspect is usually not spoken of at all so I emphasize it more here.

So the stressors of everyday life (whether they come from work or other means of competition) are an inescapable fact of human life. Too bad if you don't like it.
This is a good first -radical- approach, although I'm sure that the way to go is a world without money (or any exchange currency for that matter).

Instead,a world where you "work" in anything you really like (without having to worry about getting paid or not), where everything is virtually "free" and achievable, as long as you mantain an active "working" status. Think of it as a 1 - working, 0 - not working. If you are in 1 status, you can acquire anything you need (and even want) in modic proportions.

More to elaborate later on.

The secret of Israel's water miracle and how it can help a thirsty world
There are companies which have patented drugs in India, but do not make their drugs available in India. The Indian Patent Law allows for compulsory licensing of such drugs to another manufacturer under certain conditions which meet public interest. This is not a free for all - there are significant legal tests that the manufacturer has to meet to get the CL, and i think only one or two cases have been granted. This provision of indian IPR laws has led to having India being put on an IP watchlist in the USA, though India's laws are compliant with the TRIPS agreement.

It isn't just scientific experimentation. Forced sterilization without consent was carried out in the US on puerto ricans, natives, blacks, etc for decades after ww2. Canada also forcibly sterilized their natives well into the 1970s as did the australians on the aborigines.

> I'm not from the US, and I can tell you that incidents like this are major stumbling blocks when the US asks other countries to trust it as "the leader of the Free World".

It isn't a stumbling block since most of the "free world" is complicit as well. And the rest of the world is too poor or simply unawares of our misdeeds to care.

Besides, we are the leader of the "free" world because we are the sole military superpower, not because we are the most "free" or "good".

> this seems like a misdirected personal crusade of yours against Obama

I took it more as him pointing out that while Trump, right or wrong, is crucified in the press on a daily basis Obama was able to successfully spin a benevolent image to the point that he was absolutely held to a different standard. All presidents have blood on their hands, but there is a certain irony in Obama being the first Nobel peace price winner to bomb another peace prize winner.
> London and Paris also have large streets made for cars

Haha. In London Zone 1, not so much. Some of those streets date back to the Romans. And it was not re-laid out after the fire of 1666.

The wider streets in inner London pre-date 1900, and were made for animal-drawn carriages.
