Perhaps.

But it’s not the relative importance of one thing vs the other which is most important.

What is most important in the context of this conversation, imho, is the case for the profound negative effects of poverty, United-States style, on an individuals growth and the (sometimes insurmountable) challenges it creates for that person.

And the reason that this matters is that poverty in a country such as the U.S. (and also many, if not most other countries) is the result of a series of political choices by people (social policy, etc) over time.

In over words, it’s a phenomenon which is, if not created entirely by, is definitely affected (increased or decreases) by human behavior.

Meaning it’s something we can change.
I don't know that for a fact, but I have seen Apple people at KubeCon, for what it's worth.
I can see how such a story is against the 'right/racist' narrative

It's not against the narrative of the right in general. The US political right likes the narrative of the early 20th century. It's only the Far Right extreme which doesn't like it for going against the idea that race has a major influence on intelligence.

why doesn't it fit the 'left' narrative which seems to categorize humans based on their social class?

Well, for one thing, to accept it is to give credence to IQ and intelligence testing. Once that is done, then you have to give credence to a lot of other inconvenient studies. Also, it's part of a larger picture that supports the idea of assimilation over cultural isolation. It's also pro-military.
Because you totally have to choose between those things, and may only ever avail yourself of one of them.
Since you appear to be into publishing stories, here's mine from back in the day: http://peterc.org/beginningruby/#post-21

I made about $19K on about 9000 sales of the first edition of my book published with Apress at the point I wrote that (many years ago). Since then, I've written 2nd and 3rd editions with diminishing returns each time, but even now over 10 years later it's perhaps $1000 a year in residuals.
That sounds much harder than just stopping if a pedestrian is on a trajectory to enter your lane. I mean, obviously it would be better to deduce their intentions and act according to that but I don't see any reason to say that that's necessary to have useful self driving cars.

This sponsoring is cool. I wonder if they would work with self-published books.

Writing a book is a huge effort (I'm the author of a couple Python books, one of which is on the current Python Humble Bundle). From speaking with (many) other Python authors, most would do better financially self-publishing. There are few titles that sell very well from publishers (they do 2nd, and 3rd versions), but these would probably do even better if they were self-published.

Of course, there are other reasons for publishing. (People really want their name on an animal book). One of those reasons is that a book is a really good business card. This is especially useful for consultants or when looking for a job. "Why yes, I do know about ...., in fact, I wrote a book on it".

I could blame quite a bit of my business (I do consulting and corporate training) on writing books.
Lol. Is this .. a thing?
I agree with the comment above. Most of the sites that exist to drive revenue from traffic (content farms and such) are essentially dispensable. If they don’t work I won’t be back. If it’s a service, there will always be a competitor. The only one getting screwed here is the business not taking care to support all would be customers.
Some people don't need a dog walker (someone is home), grooming for short-hair breeds may just involve the occasional bath, some dogs tolerate toenail clippings easily, and you can do your own training with a little time and love.

So costs can vary wildly depending on your situation.

> I can't beleive they would do a trail run with an automous truck weighing 80,000lbs barreling down the freeway.

Fast driving necessitates predictability. Unrestricted stretches of the autobahn are not killzones because the speed breeds discipline: lanes are changed with indicators on more often than without (barely, but still..), passing lane rules are followed almost religiously, compared to what you see in America (even though drivers constantly complain about imperfections) and so on. The fastest roads of any jurisdiction would its easiest for a robot car or truck. Slow environments on the other hand are full of ad-hoc improvisation and weird traffic participants like the occasional flock of sheep, horse team or a biathlon squad on rollers.
Similar experience, but I suspect it depends rather on which local instance you join. Unfortunately, while this is some respects a strength (find a likeminded server, have fun) it also adds significant complexity to the UX.

Agree, they weren't known outside of big tech.

My thinking is, that if they couldn't get it to work in a specific category, then it would be even harder to make it work in more general one.

In general, a very few people care about any topic enough to purchase deeper analysis of it. I'm not sure that this would work as a business model in general.
Those are marginal costs. Parent comment was talking about amortised costs, i.e. fixed costs. Such as the airplane, itself (depreciation per mile of flight aside, but that’s another point).

Slightly off topic, I love how I am seeing tone.js pop up in projects everywhere. MIDI and VST's have created an extraordinary universe of musical devices but I think a wave of little web-based generators and effects will allow some truly novel approaches to music and audio arts.
Missed the most important points. For example:

I’m extremely happy with the how things have turned out. We’ve got a lot of great feedback and some average reviews on Amazon (please leave us a review!). I’m grateful that people are reading it and I hope it’s helping them in some way. We worked hard and wanted to help engineers get better at running infrastructure.

And

My April 2018 statement (sales from December — March) says I’ve made $11,554.15 which roughly breaks down to $23 per hour for the estimated 500 hours of work. Without the three sponsorships that would have been $5.29 per hour. Luckily that number only gets better with time. I’ve heard 2nd editions are a better rate per hour because they have less time investment with similar sales as the original, but I don’t have any experience.
What, if you don’t mind, did you identify as your deficiencies? It could be interesting and instructive to others to know how you made it out...
There's a lot to unpack here, some of which other comments have gotten to.

First off, why are property taxes the best choice in taxation? Why is taxing the rich more than the poor bad theory? Taxes, as a general rule and in theory, are meant to pull money from the citizenry in order to fund "public good" projects through the government (i.e. you get taxed by the state, the state the funds a school and builds a road). It would make sense that UBI would need to come from the state, and would therefor be paid by taxation of someone. Many proponents of UBI suggest the taxation be focused more on the producers/corporation instead of the individual citizens. This feels more logical than giving someone a UBI pulled from taxes and then taxing them on that UBI.

On the topic of home ownership: This is an extremely complex game that mostly relates to the A: supply of housing and B: proximity of jobs to a specific location. The reason San Francisco has such insane housing prices is that there are also a large number of high paying jobs. Those jobs allow people working in that area to pay more for goods/services, which allows them to push up the price of housing in the area. If you suddenly had a large number of people able to enter the housing market all at once without any change in the supply of homes, you would likely see market prices fluctuate heavily for some period until things stabilized at a price higher than the current market price.

In addition, there have been approximately 10,000 articles/threads debating the virtues of home ownership vs renting. There are distinct advantages to both, and claiming that home ownership itself contributes to higher standard of living completely ignores the lessons of economic ruin brought on by the last housing collapse, which could happen again in your scenario since you're still assuming buyers are paying for their homes. If home values rise with the inflation that would likely be associated with the introduction of a UBI, it's entirely reasonable that people would still be capable of accruing too much debt and entering dangerous borrowing behaviors.

I'm a huge fan of a UBI, and feel that it will likely be required at some point in the next 100-150 years, but it also feels like the idea you're describing is a half measure that doesn't address many of the issues a UBI is meant to address.
Sure, I suppose I mean modern science as "accepted and peer reviewed."

There are lots of ancient rituals that on the surface, probably appear totally pointless, and maybe even ridiculous. Just like fasting though, it might turn out to play a significant role in our health and well-being.

The way I see it there are only a few reasons that I would ever do a side project.

1. To make more money now by freelancing.

2. To make more money in the future by learning new skills or heck at the point, just to keep up with the technology to stay employable.

3. A great idea that I think I can make money on.

4. For fun

----

Taking those reasons into account:

1. We make enough now to be comfortable and I'm not willing to prioritize making more money over exercising or spending time with my family and friends.

2. I try to make sure I have a job that lets me keep learning. I'll spend extra time at work trying to figure out a new to me technology to incorporate in my job. That's the quickest way to learn how something works in a real world environment.

3. I really don't have any great money making ideas.

4. I find coding and problem solving "fun" That's why I enjoy my job. If I'm not enjoying my job, it's time to get a new one.

But I do spend maybe 5-6 hours a week studying and watching tech videos in my downtime or when I'm working out in my home gym.
If you parse that question carefully, it is not asking if existing wealth can help confer health. The question is if health is needed to accumulate (more) wealth. Word in () added. And that seems like a silly question - of course people are going to have more difficulty accumulating wealth with sufficiently bad health..

I think there is a definite policy question of how exactly is it that wealth helps grant better health, and can we effectively increase our society's health by knowing in more detail... but to me the fundamental link doesn't have much more to prove with that data.
No, you're being casually dismissive.

"It's all bullshit and without wisdom", emphasis added; you don't make a distinction between woo and otherwise — and not all spirituality, or even religion, is woo, I promise you.

If you're going to hand-wave like that, you're not doing whatever point you might have had any service, except perhaps in gathering "Yeah, what he said!" votes from people who already share your beliefs, and antagonizing people who might think differently — people from whom you might learn something, if you were to try listening over dismissing.

I could enumerate I don't even know how many cases of "ancient wisdom" where people were forbade doing dangerous things — like, say, the Kashrut tradition against eating shellfish and pork before we had a meaningful notion of germs — absent the specific understanding we have now, that tells us why doing that was a bad idea.

But I don't need to; you're the one making the positive, and unsupported, assertion that other people's world-views are "bullshit".
One good practice: make sure that the "need" to move to a streaming based infrastructure is legitimately due to the character of data flow and not just because the existing "traditional" infrastructure is a collection of ad-hoc hacks and terrible architecture decisions. Otherwise what will happen is your streaming infrastructure will simply be one more item in the pile and add, exponentially, to the existing problems.
I remember reading that the latest Roomba vacuums were uploading their movement patterns to the cloud to "optimize the cleaning experience". I don't personally have a reference.

A set of highly detailed house maps, with strong indicators of the traffic patterns (via dirt detection) and pet ownership (abnormally high volumes of shortish hair; tends to clog filters faster), would be exceptionally useful as input to your advertising profile.

Why’s that? Fines are income, not expenditure.
Haven't they already? A few weeks ago I tried Google Express, and I really liked it, in general. I could get an order from CostCo, WalMart, Target, and others, over night for free if I ordered $35 or more. I ordered at noon on Friday and got the shipment by 10am Saturday.

This last week, Amazon announced they are increasing Prime to $120/year, and I started thinking about whether I needed Prime. For video, Amazon is barely usable these days IMHO. I'm mostly watching entertainment on Youtube, mostly how-to or edu-tainment stuff which Amazon doesn't have much of. Pretty much anything I reach out to watch, I have to buy from Amazon. Their music service has been useless to me too, I started with Google Play by uploading all my music, and could never get started with Amazon because it was too limited.

The most compelling thing about Amazon is it is one place i can go that has pretty much anything I'm looking for. Drawer slides, Sugru, specific DIY tools.

I gladly pay $15/mo for Google Play Family (music, no commercials on Youtube, for me and my family). But, $10/mo for Amazon is starting to feel questionable, when Google Express gives me a similar experience, without the pain of Amazon Pantry (filling a Pantry box), and Walmart will let me buy groceries online and then will bring them out to my wife's car on her way home (she works a block from the store that provides that service).

I think it's getting harder and harder for Amazon to justify the $120/year. Curious what other people are thinking.

I phrased it in such a way to specifically avoid a statement of attack by calling it my personal feeling and further more I did not direct that description at any person but in response to the written article. In this regard I am thinking it is the label that people find offensive rather than the context to which that label is used.

Please correct me if I am wrong here. If every use of the term social justice warrior is immediately offensive then I won't use it again.

Integration and fighting redlining are pretty "left" goals as are school lunch programs and their ilk that attempt to alleviate some of the stress at home. You won't hear "AA/POC have lower IQs" because of the soundbites, but you definitely hear "Everyone has the right to a safe and stable home life" / "Kids deserve equal opportunity in schools" - all attempts at preventing the damage being cited here (or rather, getting the outcomes seen in the study). It doesn't need to be talked about directly because there's actual work to be done about it.
