My issue with it is that we aren't even at a point where UBI is viable. Yes, we have lots of automation but we still have many times more jobs still not automated. The experiment isn't going to show accurate results.

But I agree with you - there will still be work available in an automated society.
That's exactly the way you want an emergency to be. Lots of time to deal with the problem so you can make sure you follow all the steps correctly. If they were to have an engine failure on final or at a much lower altitude then things can get much more serious quite quickly. For example US Airways 1459 had less than 5 minutes between the bird strike and landing in the Hudson.

Australia does manage fine with compulsory voting, however, they operate on a parliamentary system of proportional vote distribution. America might be fine without the electoral college, but we would need to alter our first-past-the-post system.
Except most of those have no bearing on the conduct of Palantir, obviously, while the character of Thiel very much does.

There have been several experiments done for youtube videos where an untrained person is talked through a landing, sometimes without the benefit of ILS autoland. The latter is... not always successful.

I wonder if someone used to simpler aircraft might have done better at identifying the problem in AF447. Any pilot should know that given full power, an unknown airspeed, a nose-up attitude and a high descent rate that the airplane is probably in a stall.
Article 12 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU has a freedom of association:

> 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association at all levels, in particular in political, trade union and civic matters, which implies the right of everyone to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his or her interests.

But I don't think the person I'm replying to above was thinking of labour unions. ;)
You can sort by reactions on the issues list, if that’s what you meant.
Sanctions? I am not sure the EU has enough clout to pull that off against something the likes of Palantir, I am sure that they would have to know it is there before they could ask for removal and FIOA or other legal devices are not going to be enough pry that open under this administration.
Definitely not, although that specific aspect - you _know_ you're being watched - makes life different, in some way, simpler. The rules are obvious, however, if they change, you might find yourself in a much worse situation, than in the West - for now.
The US doesn’t “give” it to nearly everyone — you get a benefit as a proportion of your contribution. If you never contribute to social security, you don’t get the benefit.

Every month, my Gmail address receives PDF invoices for services I consume. I set up an IFTTT filter to automatically download the associated attachments into a folder in my Dropbox. I then only need to go through that folder to categorise these invoices for accounting, without having to piecemeal download and process them through Gmail.
Since there seems to be some Googler who work on Cloud SQL here, I wonder is there any chance Cloud SQL will be available in asia-southeast1 soon? It's the only region (I believe) where Cloud SQL isn't available at all, and one of the main reasons we can't fully migrated from AWS to GCP just yet.
I work at a fortune 100 in a department I will vaguely rename as "operating systems"; we have a large number of virtual and physical servers, desktops, and development environments. My department "sells" these systems to other coworkers in other departments. Various orchestration platforms make this incredibly easy.

Our automation workflow is build on as many standard tools as we can find, because inventing it here costs a lot of money and we're not experts at it. So it looks smart to use what exists as smart as we can. We take vendor ISOs from microsoft, linux, et cetera and use Packer/Vagrant to build them up inside a vSphere cluster. Packer is starting to get really good support for ESX 6.5, which means we can build right off a datastore and flip the template directly into our orchestration suite for "purchase". Our process is executed in Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline. Our sysadmin-turning-developers are learning a lot this year, and the Jenkins Pipeline is a great way to shield them from details they are free to know but don't have the time for.

The core of our build environment is some reflective shell script that becomes aware of its environment as it is loaded. We're able to abstract across environments, datacenters, et al just by some clever situational awareness. The basics always end up being the most valuable, and our little ecosystem orbiting around a pile of terse, self-documenting shell scripts that any sysadmin can understand has been a successful gambit.
Are those groups anomalous though: alcoholism has a generic factor I gather, and colder climates appear to have more substance abuse. With those factors accounted for does providing "pensions" increase substance [ab]use, and is the use problematic.
I hit a car while riding on the sidewalk as it was exiting an alley. The problem is that when you are riding on the sidewalk in a city, the corners are too blind. In order to guarantee avoiding an accident you essentially need to stop at each driveway and alley. Most cyclists and drivers aren’t going to do that. On the road you are far enough back that you can see cars exiting; they can see you as well.
Laws are not always crystal clear in each case because to do so risks making them capable of being worked around (and of course in some cases they are just badly drafted - but I don't see this so much with GDPR). Laws are then subject to interpretation by the courts and by lawyers. If you're having issues with understanding laws, then you may need an expert to guide you, as in many areas of life.

Recital 23 of GDPR will give you insight into how your Zimbabwean guitar pick seller would be treated. If they are consciously offering picks to data subjects in the EU, either through specifically referencing EU data subjects, or through offering picks in EU currencies or tailoring the site for different European languages, then they are likely in scope.

Conflict of laws provisions are a separate point, however in various areas, the GDPR expressly states that legal obligations override GDPR obligations in various areas.

Whenever any company considers that a law may apply to them (whether as a result of operating in the country or because of the extra-territorial implications of certain laws, like GDPR) they generally take advice from local lawyers as to the implications or do independent research.

The regulation is obviously available and there is a host of interpretative guidelines issued by the Article 29 Working Party which will enable anyone with enough time and desire to understand the implications of compliance. I'm not sure what kind of assistance you're looking for here? It's incumbent on the party who wants to operate in a country/provide services to users in that country to understand the relevant laws.

If you disagree with the extra-territorial application of the GDPR then that's a separate issue. Bringing international tax treatment into the discussion is also not of relevance.
You’re mistaken. In C, void pointers (the “dynamic type” in C) were used to make algorithms generic. This would be necessary regardless of whether or not C was strongly typed. For instance, Go is strongly typed but lacks generics, and it too needs a dynamic type (interface{}) to produce many generic algorithms.
I see no indication that he's a fascist unless we have vastly different understandings of the term. His comment about freedom and democracy being incompatible reads to me like the classic issue of the inherent conflict between the interests of the individual (freedom) and the interests of the collective (democracy). I can only speculate what his ideal political system would be, but calling an individualist a fascist just doesn't fundamentally make sense.

As an example of a non-democratic libertarian governance system, consider minarchism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minarchism.

So companies that are careless with personal data and get hacked get out of business? That sounds like a benefit!

Within small companies, it's now easier to push for proper data security, for not being careless. "Boss, I know it'll slow down our release, but if we don't do it, we could go bankrupt!"
> > It's never appropriate for, e.g., a PostgreSQL package to create a postgres account and configure a postgres service running as that account -- this is not how I want to run postgres

> I don't mind it creating a postgres account, but what I do mind is the package automatically enabling the service, and starting the service.

IPS is one part of a fairly well-integrated system. IPS has several different actions to deliver various things to the system. These include file, directory, user, group, etc. actions. Delivery of a postgres account in IPS is done via a user action, not via a post-install script or a service that runs after installation.

If you run a shop where you don't want the postgres account to be created, you can use pkgmogrify to transform packages. pkgmogrify makes it easy to remove actions (remove the postgres user) and transform others (set ownership of files to someone other than postgres).

IPS allows signed packages and allows you to specify which signature(s) are acceptable. A shop that wants to only install packages that have passed their QA process could require that their own signature is on every package.

Taken together, those features make it quite possible to ensure that your systems never get software (via IPS) that you've not blessed. Presumably you use automation to detect things (user actions) that you feel may be objectionable and only the new objectionable content requires manual intervention.

When you really do want postgres to start, that's pretty easy to do too. The odds are that you don't want it to run as postgres, but as some other user. Maybe you want many instances as different users. This becomes fairly easy to handle by delivering another package that depends on the postgres package. That package can deliver user action(s) and an SMF profile that creates and enables instances of the postgres service.

I did a bunch of work for Solaris 12^^11.4 to have profiles that may be applied at various layers. The enterprise-profile layer applies to things that are common across all your machines. The site-profile is for a particular site and takes precedence over the enterprise-profile layer. Then there's the node-profile layer that can be specific to a given machine. All of these layers are intended to accept packaged content (or unpackaged, perhaps delivered by puppet or similar). If you want to control the behavior via install-time profiles, you can do that with sysconfig profiles which are fully integrated with the automated installer, 'zoneadm install', etc. Details at https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E60998/dzhid.html .

IPS is part of an integrated system that is designed to solve the problems that many people assume should only be part of the packaging system. While some criticisms of it are valid, I can say that I became much more fond of IPS as I started using Linux again after a long hiatus.
You can search on or around nearly anything. That's one of their selling points to customers. The search function is multi-faceted, in that 1) it can index the data of any files you upload to Palantir (making everything text searchable), 2) Analysts can indicate specific attributes of an entity just by highlighting text in a file and marking it as a DOB or SSN or whatever. 3) The # of attributes is nearly limitless.

One of the primary screens in Palantir is a simple search page designed to work (and look) like Google, to search upon your entire database however you'd like. You can enhance the search function via the various attributes built into your installation or using advanced search tools. So I guess a "fishing expedition" in the traditional sense is very easy, as it's limited by the data you have, not the system itself.
The most incredible part of this story is the fact that it is the first fatality in a US-registered passenger aircraft accident in over nine years and the first one in Southwest's 51 year history.

(Though looking into it, that overlooks two deaths in Southwest's history: one where a passenger attempted to enter the cockpit and was subdue by other passengers and later died and another where the plane overran the run way during landing and struck a car, killing a young boy in the car.)
One could argue that most mass media is not exactly informing the people.
In process vs out of process; and language-specific binding vs JSON-RPC.

Moving stuff out of process means, increased reliability and potentially ability to share data across multiple clients.

Moving everything to LSP with two supported transports (JSON-RPC and something more native) means that editors like Emacs, vim, VSCode can benefit from tooling without needing to link against a library and work with C bindings.

At one point in my life, I voluntarily gave up my job writing software to go sell it, even though I preferred the former. Why? To make more money.

IMO, the markdown editors that format the text you're editing, but still retain the markdown, are the very best. They're a good compromise between readability and functionality. Editors like this (and typora) that obscure the markdown tend to make it more awkward to change a heading level, for example.

If they were respecting the constitution, they should only target individuals for which they have a warrant (assuming we're talking about US citizens). Even then, it's my understanding that this is the job of the police, rather than the military.

The future is a lot easier to build when you're vertically integrated. The risk with vertical integration is that keeping all parts of the integrated stack at the cutting edge is too costly and you start to fall behind.

A marketplace approach with broad consensus around interfaces is ideal, but it's hard to bootstrap. LSP via VSCode seems to have done the job.

UBI doesn't need automation at all; the big question is if society is more productive with it or with traditional welfare. That's why experiments are needed.
I 've built a custom ERP system, with Laravel & SQlite, to keep track of all my clients' details, their hosting plans, domain providers and all other piece of information I need. It sends automated emails when a hosting/domain has to be renewed, as well as providing valuable info about my servers. There's definitely space for further improvements, but up to now it gets the work done, beautifully.

It is an excellent idea to give money to people who don't need it. That's the whole point of UBI. There are some other good arguments in other replies, so I won't reiterate those, but add another: peace of mind.

Suppose you make $50K and support a family on that. At that level you don't need UBI, but you don't have any buffer. You get a UBI cheque every month, but the increased taxes take away most of it. Now suppose something comes up at work that makes it intolerable. You know that it's going to be pretty difficult to prove that to the unemployment office, so without UBI you'd just grin and bear it to keep food on the table. But you see those UBI cheques coming regularly so you know they won't stop. You now have the freedom to quit your job and look for another one without starving your children.
Disclaimer: I work for WordLift.io, which focuses on Semantic SEO and on-page SEO automation. Thus my opinion might be biased.

The answer is SEO matters a lot.
Yet SEO today means something entirely different from what it meant a few years back.

Back in 2015 when I started my blog, I was writing what would be defined quality content. It was very in-depth, researched (at times it would take me weeks to write a piece of over three thousand words). However, when I hit the publish button I wasn't getting any traffic (at the time a few dozens visits per month!). True, quality content is the baseline, but if you don't have an idea of how search engines work, you might gain traction over a few years time, but the process is quite long and not guaranteed to succeed!

However, what SEO means today is different from what it meant a few years back. In the past keywords and backlinks were all that mattered. They still count. However, it will come a day when they will stop working. Why?

Since 2012, Google has been building a giant knowledge graph, which main aim is to gather information on the web, structure it in the form of nodes and edges to construct this massive graph. Thus, getting featured within Google's so-called knowledge vault becomes critical for an effective SEO strategy.

Thus, if in the past you might be targeting keywords to be positioned on the SERP. Today you might want to be more focused on long-tail keywords that can bring you in featured snippets or inside a knowledge panel. In fact, those are also the avenues to get into the Google assistant, thus voice search.

In short, while in the past it made sense to use backlinks and keywords because Google lacked the power to use more sophisticated methods to index and rank the web pages. Now you have to switch from a keyword centered content model. To an entity-based content model.

This kind of approach is more holistic and targets not only the SERP, but it allows you to get ready for voice search. What are some practical examples of having this approach?

- an internal glossary that targets specific questions your readers/potential customers might have
- structured data in the form of Schema injected as JSON-LD (in this way you're giving better data that does not affect the performance of the page)
- use a better internal linking strategy, that connects articles to topical pages (like the glossary pages) and back

There are more strategies to adopt, but those are the ones that come to mind right now.
I'd be curious what your thoughts are on the structure I propose in this comment of mine (different thread): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16867880

For some blog sites I agree, but here it is Philip Greenspun who shares his email, phone number and physical mailing address on his website! I've sent an email about the typo at that address.

I usually look for an email on the blog site, then on thier other/main sites, then a direct message option on twitter, then a contact in whois for that domain, then, as much as it drive me nuts that it could be corrected so easily, it's just a tipo after all, and I try to let it go.
