> Anyone receiving the "dividends" would not be able to claim any tax allowances, which the RSA says would act as a disincentive to wealthier earners wanting to apply for the handout.

This is an obvious way to align incentives that I haven't seen before.

Not too tricky, the right transformer or ferrite coil with active PFC is good enough. Of course that would increase the bill.

The fault is on FCC side for approving borderline power supplies.
I agree that pensioners don't do this:), I meant people 15-40. I did run a chat on our site, and as one commenter noted, I also took a stock girl photo as profile pic.
The thing that socked me in this article is actually my own ignorance.
I got ,probably, just as many nasty comments, but I blanked them out completely. When someone was being a jerk, i would just close the chat, ban the user, and that's it. It didn't even register as a particular problem, or sexism, for that matter...
> A single story like this doesn't prove anything, but the flood of stories just like that paint a pretty clear picture.

A flood of biased anecdotes doesn't become truth or facts after a given count. Oponionated militants don't define reality.

Your comment indicates a profound lack of ratinal and objective thinking.

Are they really coming? When I was a student, I have encountered them the first time in Ada83 (discriminant records) in 1990, then in gofer (a variant of Haskell developed at Oxford) in 1992, then in Caml light (the ancestor of OCaml) the same year.
Nice! A single server-generated multi-series chart would be nice but if it takes away from the simplicity then that's fine. If you haven't already seen it you can get volume/price/marketcap between a start/end date. https://graphs2.coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/1487234...

The industry is experiencing a secular decline.

There is no way back to profit for booksellers and publishers, because fewer people are buying paper books, nowhere near enough to sustain the existing industry, and authors can simply publish direct via schemes like Amazon. They've tried overpricing ebooks, taking things off Amazon, setting up their own online readers/stores (nook). Every publisher is now having real trouble making money, every bookseller also, and significantly cutting jobs - the industry is being turned upside down at every level and no-one except some big brand name authors has a viable business model. Those that are not affected because they live in a profitable niche like academic publishing will meet the same challenges soon, because they are driven by the introduction of computers and the internet, which has radically changed how people write, and how they read.

Of course the management handled this incredibly badly, and have extracted huge fees for passively overseeing the death of the company, and the story is correct in saying it is not bleeding out, but the demise of Barnes and Noble and other booksellers like it is not, it is the inevitable consequence of the shift of content online, and the huge and ongoing disruption across a range of industries that the internet and free copying of information has brought.

Ironically this may lead in the short term to the resurgence of small bookstores who sell second hand copies of books, at least until a generation grows up which has never bought a paper book, just as they have never bought a paper newspaper or magazine. But in the long term I think new mediums will arise more suited to the medium of production and transmission - now everyone in the world can access the store of the world's knowledge in their hand, mostly for free and share their thoughts with others, again for free - this will radically change our perception of culture, and our consumption and production of stories, so the disruption is just beginning.

I supported them during the crowdfunding stage, I set up a pod for a very brief time and offered it to my family members and close friends, but it didn’t “take” and I shut it down. That was years ago.
"Sexism is actually everywhere" is an extremely strong statement. Such a strong statement requires an extraordinary amount of work (going far beyond mere observations) to be proven.

I personally would be very interested to know why "Julia" is being insulted much more than "Eric", but saying "this is because of sexism" is no better than saying that "the sun is bright because it shines".

DuckDuckGo still has the functionality, but I don't think they pay content providers. From that I conclude that it's not just a function of "willing to pay vs not", but that "got sued" also plays a role.

Content providers in this case is every web page that is indexed for image search. Microsoft might have contracts in place with image services (getty, alamy, and whatnot), but I have my doubts that they pay every photographer's blog who's images they display in their image search.
I am completely unfamiliar with the experience you had

I'm wondering Microsoft is doing some sort of A/B or market segmentation testing. Perhaps testing different things in different regions.
> I haven't been around where a woman has said "hi" to someone and they're all "Yea, eff your mom"

Lucky you, I recently saw this 'interaction' between a guy and a girl on the street:

Guy: Hey cutie!

Guy: Hey sexy!

Guy: Hey girl, come over!

Guy: Hey bitch, come over here.

Guy: Go away you ugly bitch!

The girl just kept walking and the guy turned to more profanities. This wasn't in some shitty part of town, it was at the main station of one of the nicest cities in the Netherlands. It's not just the internet where stuff like this happens.
I am really curious. You say you have used the net for 20 years now, so how can you be surprised about this? Have you not exposed yourself to other anonymous forums? They're all filled with vitriol and disrespect.
Do you think every image company would want to be removed from Google Search results instead of building their services without the ability to scrape the big resolution images? How would users get on their websites?
Sexism might be everywhere (going both ways), but this particular case likely isn't sexism. Even if it is, it's not clear whether this is sexism against women or against men (programmers in particular) assumed to be hiding behind pretty woman's photo.
This is exactly what is was trying to build for myself. I saw that no tracker was simple and still full of functions. Except for the tax part. I'm still building my own but you gave me allot of great ideas

Sure, people think it’s a bot. But what is happening in their brain that makes them so much more likely to be nasty when the chat program looks like a woman? If it’s just because they think it’s a bot, why does gender appear to be so significant?
We're talking 1947. West wasn't so modern these days and substantial & enshrined human were nowhere to be seen.

>conferences and executive education (tuition: $14,500 for a weeklong program) will become the bulk of Singularity’s work.

looks like they've pivoted straight to pure gold mining. Our VP recently boasted about neural networks [which were briefly mentioned] in his coursework ~25 years ago. I can only imagine the size of his inflation after "executive education from Singularity University" when he gets to it - he probably wouldn't be able to fit into his office anymore.
From a practical (not legal standpoint), the second one is has the possibility of going down due to too much traffic, or being replaced by obscene images.

Actually, they're the "other side" of products types, which are sometimes called "records" or "structs". Maybe they're occasionally used to solve the same problem, but inheritance is unrelated. Inheritance is a variety of ad-hoc methods for sharing code with quite different semantics in every language where it's implemented.

> However i think that it is worthwhile to question that assumption from time to time. Especially when, as mentioned in the article, more free societies like sweden or finland have more unequal outcomes than societies like iran (which iirc instituted a male quota for some STEM fields a few years ago).

This only shows that the measures that are taken might be inappropriate to fulfill their purpose of establishing gender equality and is unrelated to the mentioned assumption.
"So, in 2006 the US FDA started the Unapproved Drugs Initiative. The US government said they would give an exclusive right to the drug to anyone who did the science."

This right here is the problem. The US government could easily have put a 1 cent tax on every pill and used it to have the FDA contract out the safety research.
But instead it chose to grant a private venture yet another monopoly.
I hope this is the future of the web.

If the DOM gets accessible from wasm, we'll finally be able to avoid using javascript entirely.

It's crazy how much time and effort are necessary to finally be able to make a piece of software work on any computer, without having to make different high level graphical API work together.

The cherry on top would be to have both the dom AND websockets.
It does not currently and it's not a priority for me right now. Can you contact me by email? I'm curious about your app, maybe we can work something out.
I would say that 32bit are more than enough for most web applications. I struggle to recall any web application that would require more than 4GB of RAM to run.
Wew lad, I can't believe I'm saying this, but you either don't understand women or don't understand love.

Women dont want you to die for them. That's your own need for chivalrious purpose, you selfishly romanticizing your own (or your male friends') sacrifice. I dont know if you've ever had someone sacrificing themselves for you, but lemme tell you first hand, it's not nice, and it makes you feel like shit. Women, and everyone for that matter, are adults, so they don't need someone sacrificing themselves for them. Why would you die for someone, when that person is capable of complete independance? The "love you to death" love isn't really love, it's obsession, and it's unhealthy. And it's either "women are an easy target for trolling" or "people love women". I dont know what kind of twisted love makes you harass your object of desire online.

I can think of a million different ways to harass Eric. Everyday men are also harassed online, usually for not being "masculine" enough. So why are people more likely to harass Julia or Rachel and not Eric?
You're mixing up two very different things.

One is the hourly pay for a worker. The other is the total cost of a worker, including training, pensions, equipment, everything.

It's not a metric that usually talked much about, but it is an important metric, which should obviously be lower than the value created by the worker. Workers in a lot of fields cost 2-3x as much as their paycheck, but they create the value to offset that as well.
Population density being correlated with crime rate is more mysterious than it would seem at first. After all, people live in cities because many things benefit from economies of scale. Why doesn't policing?
I’ve heard that before. Guys will get aggressive if a woman ignores them. I don’t get it and it’s sketchy as hell. It shows how superficial so many guys can be - they want to sound sweet until it’s clear they’re not getting anything, and then they become aggressive. It’s always about their satisfaction - they reveal that they were not being nice in order for the woman to feel better, or they wouldn’t have turned aggressive.

Obviously it should be clear that I’m not talking about all men, but I have seen this behavior on occasion before and it’s super unnerving.
The article seems to contradict itself:

> The idea sees two payments of £5,000 paid over two years, but certain state benefits and tax reliefs would be removed at the same time.

> Payments would come from a British sovereign wealth fund in the form of two annual £5,000 dividends, the RSA proposes.

It's not really Universal either:

> applicants would only have to demonstrate how they intended to use the money
Let me guess: 80% of murders happens in 20% of counties? Or make it 90-10.
| Sure. But if my little businesses, with only a few people and a modest budget available to do literally everything, can manage to treat our customers with more attention and respect than one of the richest and most powerful businesses in the world, something is wrong.

2.2 Billion users. 74,000 employees. That's 300,000 users per employee. Converting Google's entire current operation into customer support, and assuming 1 ticket per year per customer, would require every Google employee to solve 1.7 tickets per minute (365/8) to keep up. Assuming a 5 minute ticket resolution (and still 1 ticket per year per user) would require 500,000 trained customer support personal to support that; assuming $20K per year, that equals to ~$10B. Google's profit was ~20B last year. This is not very likely to happen; and conditional it does, it would kill very large parts of the IT sector.

Can we kindly attempt to actually get to a solution that is actually mutually acceptable by all parties for this?
> Why do they reduce the amount of code? [...] crash at runtime if the constructors don't match.

You answered yourself: If you cannot have these runtime type mismatches, you don't need to write the corresponding bookkeeping and checking code.
Does "tax allowances" just mean the tax-free Personal Allowance of £11500? No one pays £10000 of tax on £11500, so it doesn't seem like it would actually stop anyone from claiming.

If the government is saying the cost will be £14.5B then they must think only 1.5M people will sign up, a tiny portion of the population. I don't quite see how they're expecting this to work.
It's very different. The guy on the street actually wanted the girl. These people on the internet don't want anyone. They just want a victim for abuse. The annoying chatbox just gives them an excuse to vent off.

Yeah it says that we would have to demonstrate how we would use the money, but it doesn't say what a sufficiently good reason is.
> Also I think the name 'sum type' is bad. Nothing gets added or summed up

If you view types as sets of values, then a sum type is the addition (union) of two sets, while a product type is the product (combination) of two sets.

> For this reason I find supercharging 'enum', like Swift does, a more logical solution.

Both are logical, they just come from different trains of thought.

Extending "enum" comes from "developers" viewing sum types as extensions of C-style enums, sum types comes from computer science and set theory.

"this would narrow your market down too much"

How do you know? Can you quantify that somehow?

"people with specific apartment demands > number of people who want an apartment with a view"

The same could be said for every site. There is always a generalization that targets more people.

One essential advice for startups these days is that the initial target audience can very well be small. It's interesting to see that 'too small of a target audience' is the main counter argument in this discussion.

How big was the estimated target audience for AirBnBs original offering to house people on air mattresses?
Thank you so much for this site! What a gold mine.
0.05% would be 1:2000, or 320M/2k = 160.000 murders a year. The USA is violent, but not _that_ violent. “4.4 per 100,000 people” is closer to 999.995% and 0.005%.

The peak counties (New Orleans, for example. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#Hom...) do get that many murders.

That’s at least partly because “by population” isn’t a good metric. People who sleep or aren’t in the company of others don’t murder people, so you have to look where they are when they are awake and in the company of others; that happens at home, but also at work, in bars, on holiday, etc. and the latter predominantly is in larger cities.
Hi,

thank you for making the clarification. My initial impression is clearly wrong now - you got author's permission after all. However, the reaction to your article was not malicious - it was caused by the fact that you didn't let the readers know what was happening behind the scenes. As a result, the article looked dishonest.

I don't feel guilty for pointing out the missing info, but I acknowledge I misjudged you.
What's with the "sovereign wealth fund" idea? What's the advantage of raising taxes to pay for a sovereign wealth fund the interest on which pays for the UBI? Why not just pay for the UBI with the taxes?

People don't seem to understand that you can't create money just by randomly moving it around.
I think they mean more that if you're already above the tax threshold then you wouldn't get £10k, you'd get £10k minus the prevailing rate of tax - so if you already earned £11500-£34500 then you'd get £8000 (£10k-20%). If you earned £34500-£150,000 then you'd get £6000(£10k-40%), and over £150k you'd get £5500(£10k-45%).
Because Getty wasn't suing to stop Google from sharing Getty images in image search. They were suing because they felt coerced into participating in image search. Forcing Getty not to participate would have been even worse for Getty.
Well, these fancy pants CEOs didn’t really succeed, did they.

I’m sure their individual point of view, their self interest, it’s perfectly reasonable. But from the outside it’s disgraceful. How do you justify taking a $4m payout after working less than a year? Especially when you know the axe is going to fall on the lowest paid employees.

Maybe you could, you know, skip your bonus, so the people laid off might have a little breathing room.

Frankly, this kind of stuff looks borderline close to fraud. Maybe not a legal fraud, but the fraud of management who wave their hands around to act like they know what they are doing, while they loot the company before it goes down.
How can you call this "absolutely convincing evidence"? The data is not available, the methodology is not disclosed, there's little discussion of confounding factors(server outage mentioned once)...

I believe that sexual harassment is a serious problem women have to deal with, thanks to excellent studies like the one done by Pew on survey data in 2014(http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/10/22/online-harassment/). Calling this "absolutely convincing evidence" not only undermines your position(because it's easy to poke holes at it), but also diminishes the accomplishments of people who do put in the work to quantify and qualify harassment on the Internet.
How does it work? Asking since I'm a Firefox user.
Whoops. That one slipped past. Thanks.

In case it's not clear, I just specialize tensor sum to the category Set; that's all. At the end I do mention how the tensor sum applies on a wider class of objects. In fact, any Cartesian category has (finite) tensor products, even if the objects aren't traditionally thought of as "algebraic structures", e.g. certain classes of topological spaces, Frolicher manifolds, etc.

Subtyping can be closed, too (see Scala's sealed classes, for example) and algebraic data types can be open (see OCaml's extensible variants [1] or polymorphic variants [2]).

This is simply a distinction between closed and open sum types.

Actually anger is a normal reaction to frustration, not to mention to the rude rejection. It shows how the society is broken. Wolves prey on the streets for trusting victims. They won't listen to polite no. People learn to just walk away quietly without saying anything polite. Wolves don't mind it, but ordinary people find such silent treatment infuriating. They respond with more rudeness back.
I have the impression that you think the Singularity University is an organization that tries to bring about the Singularity. It's not. It's an organization that yells "Singularity!" and then organizes talks about food delivery startups.

Do they really mean "We're going to make this money so tedious and bureaucratic to apply for that a middle class person wouldn't bother to do it even for £6000"?
> Here's more food for thought: the five biggest companies in the US are all data-driven tech companies that are renowned for paying ridiculously high compensation. Why wouldn't they apply your framework to both save on hiring costs and boost performance?

Because a) at their scale they need to hire in bulk b) their business (advertising, "media"...) simply don't inspire that level of passion in anyone, so money is all they can do.
Can't wait to see how "creative" our future autonomous drone strikes will be.

I am male and used to work in a call centre. I apparently have a good voice, and I was repeatedly asked out by random women calling the service desk. I even got a virtual stalker who kept inventing issues and calling daily just to speak with me. Since I am male, I was not threatened but amused, but I can see how a woman would feel vulnerable in the same situation.
