You can't just turn on a machine and "webdev".

You need a TCP/IP stack, HTTP server and client.

You'll need an editor & graphics tools. Sketch and Zeplin have a pretty steep learning curve. You'll probably want Webpack or Gulp.

That is, unless you're writing HTML 1.x, which gives you such exiting tags as <BLINK> and <P> and <HR>.

On the other hand, I can fire up a Commodore 64 or Atari 800 with built-in BASIC interpreter and do actual math. I can process input and interface with hardware at the lowest level. I can generate graphics (in multiple graphics modes). I could, in theory, write that same HTML 1.x code (in BASIC) with a set of routines to generate and save the very same.

Financial investment is lower, and I'd say the return on that investment comes 10X quicker than with a Mac running Sketch, Zeplin and YouTube tutorials.

> "Because they got pregnant"

Really? In 2018, given the myriad of ways you can cost-effectively prevent pregnancy, I hardly accept "because it happened" as an answer.

Yes, birth control sometimes fails. That statistic alone cannot explain the quantity of individuals having children, who simply shouldn't be. People can down vote me all they want, but what I am saying is true: Having children when you cannot afford to take care of them is reckless and incredibly selfish.

Yeah, but the Starter Plan starts charging an additional fee after $1MM (yearly? total?) revenue. So it's not grandfathering in at all, we just get shunted to the temporarily-free plan that everyone else has to start on.

Edit: Since my posting this Stripe has clarified that existing customers get the Starter package at no further cost, we we are grandfathered in.

You are right in highlighting the issues with current financial systems. But what is the basis for assuming that a decentralized and unregulated system will be way better in addressing all the issues you have highlighted?

Even if you keep aside the regulation aspects, there is no assurance that money kept in a cryptocurrency account is safe. The fact that bank accounts are insured is a big deal. Nobody apart from the government is gonna sign up for that. And if someone does, they will not do it without tracking the flow of money.

The Stripe billing starter plan says it's free for the first $1m, 0.4% surcharge after that. Am I missing something?

I remember hearing in a podcast that openbazaar.org tried this approach but because of unreliable clients parts of the network would be completely unaccessible. They then went with a partially decentralized solution with a few main nodes always supporting the system. I'm not sure what has changed in the design since that podcast episode though.
Don't be so sure that "lifts GDP" is an absolute (or even a net) positive for the people in the receiving end of "introducing broadband". Specially if we are talking about underdeveloped backwaters, when you see an increase of GDP you must consider how much of it comes from increased productivity and how much from improved accounting.

If this is the later, you just put a "virgin population" without the social DNA to defend itself into the reach of global capitalism. The most likely output of that is an import/export imbalance from the region to the outside world (neocolonialism) plus the empowerment of the traditional chieftains as enforcers of the absentee investment class (all the same old problems of our preindustrial world, only more so). It is a bit of the worse of both worlds for the average joe living there.

Hydropower isn't easy, either. The stored water is often used for agriculture, and you have to manage flow rates to keep levies and river systems healthy.

My intuition is that the power and agricultural water demand roughly match up, both high in the summer.

For levies and fish, you can't just dump or cut off water quickly. Ramping flow up creates turbidity that can harm fish. Cutting it off leaves saturated levies without support and leads to sloughing and failure.

I don't know whether these limits would actually matter for an energy management scenario, just pointing out that there are certainly some limits.

The issue I have with targeting is that the ads should be targeted to the content I see, not to me - this is why ads on platforms like Read The Docs are fine by me as they target based on the content of the page they're displayed on, instead of trying to stalk me around everywhere in order to target better ads to me.

I'm happy to see computer-related ads on Read The Docs, but on standard Google I'd rather have cat food advertised (or other generic product).

Oh sorry, I totally missed that you were talking about ads for conferences as opposed to conferences themselves - but again the above still applies; more than happy to see conference ads on developer related websites. On Google, especially when I search for a generic keyword? No, give me cat food any day.

0.25 - 0.30 is not a bulk price. You can buy a pack of 29 on amazon all in for 0.27 per diaper.

Buying in bulk (200 pack or so) easily gets you at 0.16/diaper or below. And even lower if you look out for deals.

And assuming you need them now and don't have money for bulk buy, a 27 pack at walmart for off-brand is $5.41 at the moment. ( ~0.20/unit )

> I learned from them that if you got a boy the first thing you do when you change a boy's diaper is put something on their penis (such as a burp cloth) so that they can't pee you in the face (or on the carpet/wall/door or w/e)

We do this - we've got 20 or so cut-up facecloths we use for this purpose. They are usually the limiting factor on how quickly we do laundry. It's not uncommon to go through 3/day; it's like having a set of cloth diapers we use just for diaper changes. Plus, he's gotten pretty good at avoiding the cloth and pissing out the bottom, or choosing that moment right when I take the cloth off and put the diaper on to unload, or shitting all over his penis (!!) so that I have to clean that first and getting me in the face while I'm bent over him with a wet-wipe.

Someday he's going to win a lot of pissing contests.
A.) Pretty sure that statement was made to assuage fears that people would be purchasing an expensive asset that rapidly depreciates in value, only to witness it becoming obsolete in a matter of years because its hardware doesn't meet the requirements necessary for full self-driving functionality. Companies like Tesla tout over-the-air patching as a bonus to their product offering. Such a thing is useless if the hardware can't support the new software.

I think I actually sort of disagree with your reasoning in precisely the opposite direction. Specifically, you state the following: "The people operating the car can NOT be considered as perfect flawless robot.".

I agree with that statement 100%. People are not perfect robots with perfect driving skills. Far from it. Automotive accidents are a major cause of death in the United States.

What I disagree with is your takeaway. Your takeaway is that Tesla knows that people aren't perfect drivers, so it is irresponsible to sell people a a device with a feature (autopilot) that people will use incorrectly. Well, if that isn't the definition of a car, I don't know what is. Cars in and of themselves are dangerous and it takes perhaps 5 minutes of city driving to see someone doing something irresponsible with their vehicle. This is why driving and the automotive industry is so heavily (and rightly) regulated.

The knowledge that people are not save drivers, to me, is a strong argument in favor of autopilot and similar features. I suspect, as many people do, that autopilot doesn't compare favorably to a professional driver who is actively engaged in the activity of driving. But this isn't how people drive. To me, the best argument in favor of autopilot is - and I realize this sounds sort of bad - that as imperfect as it may be, its use need only result in fewer accidents, injuries, and deaths, than the human drivers who are otherwise driving unassisted.
And yet continual rent for a place to sleep (whether paid to banks and cities, or abstracted to private landlords) is also literally taking money from people by force of law.

I'm personally against BI in that pouring more gasoline on the inflationary fire is not going to put it out, but deflationary economics have never been popular - trying to get people to stop partying while they're having a good time is impossible, but so is bringing up the topic when they're hungover!

So long as the overriding monetary environment remains a biased towards centralized extraction, there most certainly is a libertarian argument in that those who wish to distance themselves from that technology should be able to, rather than being forced to cope within it.
Unless we want to stream movies and music from our phones, most asynchronous text-based communication is extremely lightweight.

A truly p2p/f2f messaging / social platform that uses only text can get away with kilobytes of data per hour if you think about the amount of text the user is capable of typing and reading.
While this comes to the right conclusion I think it mistraces a lot of the issues.
For example: a fair amount of the depression and neurogenesis studies (and indeed neurogenesis manipulation studies) suffered from the same issue: it's really hard to make a population of cells die without generally poisioning the remaining cells. Most of the initial studies relied on things like radiation, ie radiate a rat and it starts acting depressed. There is now increasing evidence that radiation kills off a bunch of synapses and causes some wicked disregualtion across the system so that turned out to be wrong. Conversely BDNF enhances neurogenesis but it also enhances synaptic learning so even positive manipulations had this issue but in reverse. Newer timed genetic manipulation studies were more precise but the depression-neurogenesis link has been slowly losing steam in light of these studies.

But the BIG issue boils down to this: there was never strong evidence for the importance of neurogenesis. The dentate gyrus is a tiny region of the brain with neurons that act in unusual ways. In humans it's an even tinier region. While it is probably required, at least as a pass through, to learn new memories, it's surprising how much weight people were placing on neurogenesis in this tiny tiny structure. Given, networks can make small zones have big effects, but the weight of evidence should have always been on people pushing the area to prove the dentate was this massively important structure. This has not been conclusively done (studies have linked it to some specific subtypes of learning but those have limited it as much as they have found an important role for it). This is a structural issue in science broadly, there is an incentive to push forward with the next big finding but no incentive to go back and confirm the gulf of assumptions that a literature is resting on.

The good news is, human brains could always change, synaptic plasticity is present throughout life and has been shown by many good studies to occur throughout adulthood. We don't need new cells in a tiny part of the brain to learn new things, networks rewire and while that rewiring isn't something as dramatic as new cells, small effects can lead to big outcomes in dynamic systems. People obviously make new habits, learn new skills, and make new memories throughout life. The onus should have always been on science to show why it occurs, not to lend credibility that it occurs.
"there is one more advantage: updating a library (which is trivial because almost all these systems are online all the time now) will automatically cause all new instances of the rest of the software on the system to use the new library without having to re-link all the binaries."

In Windows this is called "DLL hell". Too often the new version will have some subtle incompatibilities breaking a lot of stuff.

I am a fan of static linking or putting DLLs into a dedicated folder so these shared libraries are actually not shared.
> The Secret Service memo doesn’t specify at what point in the mail process the crooks are intercepting the cards. It could well involve U.S. Postal Service employees (or another delivery service), or perhaps the thieves are somehow gaining access to company mailboxes directly. Either way, this alert shows the extent to which some thieves will go to target high-value customers.

The idea that employees of delivery companies might be conspiring to do these large scale scams is terrifying.

Yes, I believe BitTorrent, Freenet, Grooveshark among others work this way. "P2P" was a big fad for a while.
I wouldn't put half of humanity anywhere right now. You just need enough to keep a population (with immigration) after they face a horrific mortality rate as they figure out how to lower the risk; hopefully highly trained and well equipped as sparse mitigation, but exploration and pioneering are hungry gods that will be fed human sacrifices.
I'm personally more partial to an O'Neill cylinder or a Lunar colony than Mars and the lunar colony will probably come first, Mars is a big step backwards in delta-v, but yes the mass required to get that going is currently prohibitively expensive, and the biosciences are going to be really tricky.
> Moral questions are religious questions.

Moral questions are (or at a minimum involve subordinate questions which are) outside the scope of empirical science; in this way they are similar to many religious questions (and the categories overlap), but they are not the same as, or a subset of, religious questions.
That's exactly the point some of us are trying to make:

This issue is incredibly nuanced, but people like you (and the authors of the article) never want to talk about one side of it: Personal responsibility.

The second we bring it up, we're denounced as callous, entitled, naïve, etc. etc.

It's surprising to me how often those pronouncing the complexity and nuance of an issue are almost always just fierce defenders of ONE side - the other side - of the issue.

The World War 1 episodes might be slightly more enjoyable, because I think those deal a bit more with "history" in the sense of events and blow-by-blow of what happened. But it may be that Dan Carlin's stuff just isn't your style. Carlin's approach tends to be more of a discussion where he uses the backdrop of a historical event to ponder some aspect of the human condition. There is also a lot of repetition and redundancy and rambling when he talks, so some of the appeal is people who just plain like the sound of Carlin's voice and enjoy hearing someone talk about something interesting. I tend to divide up my podcasts into mental categories of "those I listen to at normal speed" and "those I listen to at 1.5x or 2x speed." Carlin's stuff fits into the first category for me.

Are there other history podcasts you've enjoyed? I think something like The History of Rome might be more of your style.

This is extremely disappointing. For my business this means an additional 0.4%-0.7% fee added onto a service I currently use for free justified by features that I cannot use for compliance purposes. This new invoicing process does not qualify as an exempt financial service for a covered entity. (see subsection 1179 of HIPAA)

So unless they are now willing to sign a business associates agreement I just got a price hike for a feature that would cause fines so large they would close my business. This is going to be a PR nightmare for stripe. They have destroyed all of their goodwill, and now I will have to start considering competitors.

My belief, if you showed most (all?) Americans a baby, regardless of color, and asked if that baby deserved healthy life, they'd say yes. If you asked if they'd donate $2, they'd probably be inclined to do so.

The problems comes down to the concept in abstract. Special interest groups capitalizing on the frustration of paying tax, by preying on human's most base nature of mistrusting people that are perceived to be different.

"You're paying high taxes, and lazy people (minorities) are getting a free ride." sounds much better than "You're paying high taxes, and government contractors are taking a lot of that money."

Especially since poor/minorities are far less of a powerful lobby than those who represent government contractors.

I recommend practicing memory palace techniques if you really want a brain work out. Storing sets of information, retrieving them, and replacing them is intensely exhausting. You know you're getting a brain work out. I try and memorize one deck of cards every day at a minimum. After a bit of practice, you'll have laser focus. Not so sure about whether this promotes neurogenesis though. Does anybody have any resources on this?

Actually with chips with pins, it's faster because you can authenticate locally. Since we don't use chips, we have to do a server roundtrip, which is why initially a lot of the chip cards seemed to take "forever" (30 seconds) to authenticate.
