I have this memory of The University of York (uk) compsci getting these and doing truly awesome stuff. But, we had like whitechapels, and Suns, and Decstations, and Perq, and.. these tiny odd boxes with slidy-sideways function keys.. wut? WhuT???? And then people were coding sprites, and stuff which looked like what became mgr -> plan9 and amazing stuff.

I missed out. I totally did not get it, or the zeitgeist. The road not taken. Damn.
This is dodging the question. For one thing, The price you pay for health insurance is not the same as it’s cost. The price of insurance is lower than the price of care because people who are healthy buy insurance.

Moreover, the general point stands: what does UBI do for people who currently receive more $ benefits than what the UBI level would be?
At the Dulles International Airport, they have stands with three or four physical buttons, each button is a smiley face (angry to happy) to rate your experience. Those stands are scattered all over the airport. Every time I fly through Dulles, I leave a rating because it is so easy to do and doesn’t slow me down. I think a similar approach would work well for physical stores. They can be installed near the exists, so customers can leave their feedback on the way out.

After the "8 must be paired with 0" step, my next step was to say, "Now, there is someone who shook hands with 7 people. We know he didn't shake hands with Mr. 0, so he must have shaken hands with everyone else except his wife. Meanwhile, there's also someone who shook hands with 1 person, and we already know he shook with Mrs. 8, so he must have not shaken hands with anyone else. Therefore, 7 and 1 must be a couple."

Then, accounting for the shakings with 7 and 8 and the non-shakings with 0 and 1, we similarly see that 2 can't have shaken hands with anyone else, but 6 must have shaken hands with everyone else except his partner, so 2 and 6 must be paired as well. The 5-3 pairing follows too, after which we're left with 4 and the question-asker, who are a couple by process of elimination.

Incidentally, we conclude that the question-asker also shook hands with 4 people: Mrs. 8, 7, 6, and 5.
It's the bare minimum of what a living wage should be. You seem to ignore that I keep saying minimum. I am not discounting families etc. just wondering if America can at least get to this point where a 40 hour work week at minimum wage is enough to live on for most individuals. We disagree on whether that is true in general even though statstics back me up.

I support welfare and free healthcare etc. to help vulnerable people at a sliding scale rather than a hard cutoff which has the strange incentives discussed in the original article.
This will be my last reply because this isn't a good faith discussion.

You're individual situation is not what I have experienced in a major city. The majority of cyclists are moving much slower than the flow of traffic, rarely over take each other (or other cars), use cycle lanes where available and stay over to the right when they can.

You may be an exception to that - and if so fantastic ... again I'm not saying not to take the lane, stop treating me like an adversary. Again if you're advocating for better safety and better relations between drivers and cyclists that's fantastic -- do it by getting the laws changed. Stop the "easy to legally justify" when you know that what you are doing most of time is pissing people off (rightly or wrongly). Get the laws changed, get them enforced and then culture changes to follow.
Here is a US missile maneuvering at mach 10 to intercept a RV going at mach 30. In 1972.

https://youtu.be/msXtgTVMcuA?t=60

Russia loves to brag about weapons that can overcome US defenses because people for some reason have forgotten that the top-level strategic "defense" is not an impenetrable wall of interception systems -- which literally no nation on earth has the budget to effectively maintain, even the US, because the economics of intercept are terrible -- but rather the policy of mutually assured destruction. This has been the case throughout the entire planning cycle of nearly every piece of hardware in use by the US armed forces and it will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.
OpenLauncher is a nice home screen replacement. I would be fine with the standard one if Google would just let us hide the damn search bar.

I use Simple Contacts so I can keep my contacts out of the cloud and away from other apps. Good 'ol manual entry/editing and .vcf importing/exporting when needed, which is maybe twice a year for me. No named caller ID or call/text history though, have to use my brain for that. Maybe there's a way to make that work without sacrificing the benefits, but it hasn't been a problem for me yet, so I haven't looked into it.

For weather, I just add a DDG search for "weather [zip]" to my home screen. No need to turn on location for something that changes very little and is trivial to look up when it does.
Mine returned Oymyakon, Russia. Nearly 8,000km from my location, or IP address geoloc. I'm assuming it's possibly picking up some hop in between, maybe?

If you're not going uphill, it's not that much harder than riding without the trailer. But the key is to downshift and maintain a higher pedaling cadence when going up grades or into a headwind rather than relying on mashing down on the pedals.

If you want the left perspective, all or nearly all housing would be public housing. This cuts landlords and banks out of the loop and decreases housing prices for everyone. No one goes homeless. You can move whenever you want, though there might be waitlists in some cities depending on how it's implemented.

For what it's worth though, we already have waitlists, you can just skip them by having sufficient money.

No, my advice is to balance the expected return on your stock against your personal margin of safety - startup companies have younger employees almost entirely due to the reduced cost of the risk.

My personal risk level is maybe lower than “I quit my job and started a company”, but I consider my work to have value, and I consider an employer structuring employment agreements such that my return is is given a lower precedence than another investor to be either sign that they do not value my work at at least market rate, and given the risk entailed my expected income should be much greater than market rate.

Your claim is basically: startups have been able to screw employees because that’s what startups do.

The funding your describing for example is /not/ funding, it’s an extremely high interest loan, and in that case should not be considered a share in the company.

I also realized I had not said earlier: the theft in this case did not happen when the company was sold, it happened when one group of shareholders rewrote the company charter for the express purpose of devaluing the shares belong to all employees.

This gets to the heart of my problem with the “pro let yourself get screwed” argument: because VC funding is miscategorized as ownership rather than a loan, it is in their interest to screw the people who actually invest in the company.

Maybe it makes me unemployable for believing that my work has value and my not believing that “taking on risk” should mean “others should be able to treat my investment in the company as being not real investment” is unrealistic.

But I find it hard to feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to sign a contract that has any room to legally discard your investments. Is it bullshit that this company did that? Yes. Is it the employee’s fault that they had their investment stolen: yes.

Would I ever sign a contract that allowed someone to dilute my investment in anything without compensation? Of course not, because that’s stupid.

It's kind of ironic that the Atari ST was developed in part by a number of ex-Commodore people, while the Commodore Amiga was likewise developed in part by a number of ex-Atari people.
I rarely post, but I feel it necessary to chime in here.

I studied computational linguistics/natural language processing in grad school, out of an interest in accessibility issues (I had RSI) and related applications, and had naively neglected to look very hard about how I'd be likely use it in a career.

Other people in my cohort went to work for the CIA. I couldn't move to the bay area for... reasons, (this was pre-Google) and it seemed everyplace I could find anything wanted me to have a security clearance, with all the implications that has.

One could say I'm not mercenary enough, or that I took too many philosophy classes, or any number of other rationalizations, but one way or another, none of the jobs I've taken have had much need for what I studied.

I feel morally obligated to use what I know to improve the state of the world. This has, unfortunately, led to a lot of unemployment and serious depression.

My favorite text-based weather report is definitely the "discussion" product from the National Weather Service. It gives some perspective, instead of just the numbers. Importantly, it commonly has a discussion of forecast confidence/uncertainty.

If you read it long enough, you'll start to pick up some of the 'why' in the weather.

Here's an example:

FWIW as a Boy Scout in the 80s we definitely learned to cook. There was no "merit badge" I'm aware of for cooking, but when we went camping we were expected to prepare 3 meals a day, mostly cooked. So in the mornings we might cook eggs and bacon. For lunch we usually did something relatively simple like heat up canned or cook dry mix soup. Dinners were on the spectrum everywhere from a hot dog on a stick to cooking steaks. We did various baking tasks such as making a solar stove to cook canned biscuits and the "foil packs" where you put veggies, potatoes, meat, and seasonings wrapped in foil into a fire to steam/cook them. I don't know what your cooking experience was like, and it sounds like from the other responses my experience might have been unique, but those things definitely laid a foundation and created confidence for future cooking tasks out of a cook book or something.
So was there a definitive denial of the initial statement of Salisbury medic Stephen Davies in The Times that the pair was _not_ poisoned by a nerve agent? Other media reported about an opioid overdose, probably fentanyl.

"The 200 Ugandan shillings ($0.05) levy is a daily charge in order to gain access to services like WhatsApp, Twitter and Facebook. If the user doesn’t pay upfront for those services they are blocked from using them."

Setting aside the net neutrality overtones this story has, let's admit here that these services will all reach obsolescence at some point. While they are actively used now, the future will hold the ability for any individual to create their own federated ad-hoc social network for their own communities, and it will not be as reliant on special corporate/government agreements that the listed services have. Conceivably, if the owners of QZ did not have so much stock in those companies, then the idea of their business being hampered in Uganda would not lead to the publication of such an article as this.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Mastodon/Friendi.ca would do well to update their Swahili docs. Ugandan-hosted instances might be a great compromise for the Ugandan people in this debate.

I think the only part of the situation I disagreed with was that you said you were there to shame him, rather than his actions or ideas (those to me are shameful and deserve to be called out).
I'd probably also disagree with the approach of being willing to combat his ideas without a desire to engage in further discussion (what is the point of making a statement, whether a tweet, downvote, etc., with no desire to possibly influence their future choices? Chances are, it's meant to silence opposition, but not help improve things.)

But I don't think we should take it easy on the fact that Bob finds the real moral atrocity is political rhetoric in this situation.
That's intellectually immature of him to not be able to see beyond what he finds to be hyperbolic rhetoric of one side and instead focus on the actual issue.

There could be more effective ways to engage him and his audience that doesn't instantly turn off their brains to opposing opinions, but I think shameful ideas should be called what they are.
You said you brute-forced it, but you mentioned index variables. I thought the brute force solution would look something like:

> Clandestine Christians in China have never been involved in the planning or execution of violent acts in China

Firstly, the Christian element to the Taiping Rebellion[0] is one reason why the Chinese state is wary of Christianity outside the carefully controlled state form that is permitted. Religion can obviously contribute to social unrest.

Secondly, house churches in China tend to promote the vision of a coming Kingdom of God that will do away with all the rulers of the world. Anywhere else in the world, that is viewed as an entirely mainstream aspect of Christian doctrine. However, the Chinese Communist Party sees this as an attack on their own authority, and so they want Christians to remain within the state church that downplays this doctrine.

With regard to this second point, it is not just Christianity. The same treatment applies for any other sociopolitical movement in China that envisions a future for the country without a place for the established Communist Party in it. It doesn’t matter if Christians are not advocating violence. The mere fact that they even question the everlasting authority of China’s authorities is already offensive enough to get them condemned.

Personally I think this adds no value to the social goodput of trading: its not market informing of real movement, its profit (rent?) seeking in dis-equal access to service.

I understand the profit motive. I just don't think that for trades, informing community of value (prices, derivitives, futures) that moving to femto-seconds is adding value.

A nitpick, just in case you haven't noticed and would want to make the correction, in the text you say:

> In the example above, you see my username "limedaring", and my computer name, “Orion,”

but the examples say "username@computer".

Another nitpick, I wonder if readers might see the commands in uppercase and think that those should work too. I can imagine them seeing "command not found" when trying them out and not realize that it's because LS != ls to the shell.

Yet another, maybe it'd be a good idea to include `cp -r` and `cp -rv`. I don't know, it might add to the intimidation, but I imagine that's also a basic operation they'll want and miss when doing `cp dir/`.

Great work, by the way. CLIs are great and in many if not most cases far more powerful than GUIs, but they're often taken as old and useless by the general public because they were more prevalent back before GUIs were common. It's great to see something aimed to be more easily digestible for the general public. Maybe CLIs can get more appreciation this way.
> I fully expect this to keep getting advanced further.

If they aren’t going to scale it back then I hope they go all the way with it.

I hope they try to automate it and feed everything about everyone to a centralized AI.

I hope they give it more and more control including the ability to direct military drones.

I hope it then turns on them.

Because the “smart stupid” people that implement well-intentioned malice like mass surveillance can’t usually see far ahead (see reports of data harvesting companies getting hacked.)

If this is the path we’re going to go down then might as well speed up evolution and usher in a new class of intelligent life on this planet.

Ask HN: What are you using as an issue tracker in 2018?
I went through two startups and decided to use Redmine for both. Tried GitHub once and later migrated over, due to data ownership concerns and bad usability for project management. Tried self-hosted GitLab for a small group but abandoned it later due to inconsistency with internal workflow.

Redmine also has its own shortcomings. As a Xoogler occasionally I really miss the ease of use of Google's internal bug tracker.

I've also heard people using Phabricator if they were in FB. But I never had the chance to give it a try.
How to Convert Web App into a DApp
But in practice, OpenID 1/2 were a nightmare.

Most of the implementations were incomplete/broken, everyone wanted to provide OpenID while nobody wanted to consume it, and the few parties that did consume it got left holding the bag when the OPs ripped out support and left users without a way to prove their identity to recover their accounts.

You want at least a weak unilateral arrangement, such as Google or Microsoft or Facebook saying they have no plans to rip the feature out from under you any time soon.

Also, OpenID adoption was never going to happen with users being identified by URLs. No party was going to step up and explain to users why they should go through the effort of learning all this tech to use it vs. using the passwords they were already familiar with.
