If you assume demand will go up for consumer products and/or output(aka supply) will go down under UBI. Then, prices would go up.

DEMAND INCREASE AND SUPPLY DECREASE:

A simultaneous increase in the willingness and ability of buyers to purchase a good at the existing price, illustrated by a rightward shift of the demand curve, and a decrease in the willingness and ability of sellers to sell a good at the existing price, illustrated by a leftward shift of the supply curve. When combined, both shifts result in an indeterminant change in equilibrium quantity and an increase in equilibrium price.

Not a storefront per se, but I think Blizzard's Launcher that includes most of their newer games (as well as Destiny 2!) is a good example of one that's gone from nothing to pretty-darn-good while the Steam client has been relatively stagnant.
It may be wrong in the sense that free will is wrong, but a lack of free will doesn't stop me from making decisions. Causality is all about counterfactuals, and the admission is right there in the name counter-factual. We are already aware.

The most popular framework for causality talks about potential outcomes. If I took my blood pressure meds now (all else equal), what would my blood pressure be at noon? If I skipped my meds today (all else equal), what would my blood pressure be at noon? That tells me the casual effect of the meds on my blood pressure today. But I either will or won't take the meds. One of those branches is simply wrong on a fundamental level, like you say. "What would happen" is in some sense meaningless. But it's sure as shit useful to think about, and that's the whole point.

Said differently, even in a toy model of the universe where everything is deterministic and causality is meaningless on a physics level, causality can be usefully defined on a practical level. Counterfactuals are counter factual, but that's ok.
Yes, if it wasn't for another law that protects federal employees in general doing their job from being sued for... doing their job.
> Turns out all this was over a pair of nail clippers the wife forgot she had packed...

Nail clippers are not allowed now!? I fly with nail clippers all the time (including to/from the US) and have never had an issue. Looking at the TSA site, nail clippers are explicitly permitted as well [1]. Was the agent actively looking to hassle you?

>If they are not law enforcement, can you actively resist arrest and detainment with self defense?

There is a substantiated legal opinion that DHS men are not law enforcement officers, and thus you can. I wonder, if anybody actually tried.
I think there is a big difference between the pride of individual being a firefighter (many people feel this and are willing to take the job with no pay or benefits even though firefighters are at risk for a whole range of occupational induced diseases) and the pride a community feels for an organization and their willingness to support them.
How much of the code was shared among these services? It sounds like you essentially had mostly the same code running in 140 different configurations with only some translation logic and glue varying between each. I'm not surprised you found this untenable. This is akin to running a microservice per web page.

They're also not being used right next to flames.

Yes, fiberglass can be made that won't buckle under both weight and heat, but not at the same price point as wood.
Bloomberg – Foundations of Machine Learning
It really is reducible to the differential between salary and unemployment benefit, which is the opportunity cost of not taking a job. This is a well-known phenomenon in economics since the stagflation of the 70's, called the "poverty trap".
Ask HN: What observability effort have had the best impact on your company?
I'm currently leading a observability team at a 150+ engineer, 150+ services company. We spend the last 6 months building infrastructure around Prometheus, including instrumentation, alerting rules, high availability and scalability/sharding. We have a multi-kubernetes-cluster setup and multi-customer-shards with a high growth rate.

When we started, our observability stack was composed of Riemann, Splunk and thousands of unloved cloudwatch alerts. We felt Riemann was very difficult to work with for our setup and our multiple shards, and we evaluated what options we had, finally choosing Prometheus.

We spend a lot of time pairing with squads so they can learn Prometheus and work on their own creating instrumentations and alerts.

We're in the middle of the rollout for Prometheus. Roughly 50% of the services and squads are using metrics and alerts, and this is on-track to becoming 90% until the end of the next quarter.

Having a metrics and alerting platform ready to use is making engineers much more confident on their services, but we're still facing some incidents that are reported by customer support instead of engineering tools, which could mean either we're missing something, or we just have to double down on the rollout to make sure everything is covered and alerting correctly.

Could you share your thoughts and experience around observability?
that's lame...

It’s tellig that the first involves an archaic word no longer in use. And in my pronunciation (coastal California) the second pair differ in the vowel not the consonant. I pronounce them both as in “thy”.
When they say "extremist" they mean "white people", goys.

I think "any" is signalling: "hey we want to support any language, contribution welcome", that is better than wondering on the project and thinking "oh it's for go, nevermind, I need it for python" :)

What's funny about your comment is that it's ambiguous whether you're calling the Trump officials or the protestors yelling at them petulant children.
Icelandic still retains the Old English letters for voiced and unvoiced dental fricatives. Icelandic is said to be the closest modern language to Old English.

ð ("eth", voiced) and þ ("thorn", unvoiced). So you could write "ðere" and "þeater", for words that sound correct but don't make any sense in either language. :)

Fun fact, thorn is the reason for today's archaic phrase "Ye olde", which was always pronounced "The old". Print shops didn't have a thorn character, so they substituted y instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)

* Kind of a tangent, but I'm also fascinated by Icelandic's unvoiced nasal fricative, a sound we don't have in English, and something that seems hard to do when you have a cold or runny nose.
NDN has a request/reply model with symmetric forwarding.

To me there is a subtle difference, emphasizing the punctuation that comes first.

If so, maybe we should just accept as standard using two punctuation and allow context or intent to determine ordering.

I read the southern poverty law center's summary of why they dislike the oath keepers. The cases they touch upon in very one-sided ways, the Bundy ranch, the Malheur Standoff, the Oregon miners, are all cases well known to me, where the oath keepers acted commendably. I invite you to read about those events in more detail, from other sources.
Like @nailer says, this article is under-researched and starting from a prejudiced viewpoint. However I did love one comment.

I think you may be underestimating the number of agents who have been thrown up on. (And the number who have had to call for cleanups for vomit that did not land on them, and medical personnel for the ill traveler, is even larger.) The thing is though, that's what they signed up for. If they can't handle vomit, they should look for another job.

From a certain point of view, it's better for the TSA agent to be soiled with vomit than it is to allow a potentially contagious passenger on what may be a very long flight.

So you're saying that the labour force of entire countries in the Mediterranean region (Portugal, Spain, Greece) suffers from lack of mindset and drive, and that explains the low salaries they suffer from right across the board. Interesting. Perhaps you might want to come over and straighten them out. White man's burden and all that.

There is a difference between exercising your freedom of speech and the social justice warrior crusading that the parent commenter is advocating.

Nobody is above criticism, that much is certain, but we shouldn't cross the River Styx into a world where random acts of violence is the preferred method of political expression.
The paper needs to explain what is being done, why and under what assumptions. As long as each of those are clearly explained, in my experience, it doesn't really matter whether each of them is explained in words/math/code. Yes, one form might be a little bit more work for people from a certain background, but that's a hump you can get over relatively easily after reading a few papers on the topic. The worst is when you have to guess at what the authors might be doing and why they're doing it that way, and what assumptions they might be operating under... and all they've done is dumped their results within the page limit and before the conference submission deadline.
So in other words not only can the tsa arrest and likely even beat, shoot, and kill you, but as a citizen you have no recourse, not even the recourse you would have against normal police. In other words, they truly are above the law even more so than police. Please tell me I misunderstood this article. I'd like to know how this lady got arrested. Shouldn't they just have kicked her out of the airport instead? Or did they know they would not be held responsible and just went ahead and kidnapped her anyway?
You should try reading the article. They specifically state that they re-use components whenever possible, and they regularly service their ladders to keep them in good condition. Aluminum ladders only have a 7-8 year lifespan vs some of the ladders they use going on 60 years before being taken out of commission.
I'm not sure why, but I'm reminded of that scene in Gangs of New York where two fire brigades show up to a house fire and proceed to duke it out over who has rights to put it out and plunder the building. The building ends up burning down.
What do you think a war is, if not "politically motivated violence"?
I grew up in Hawaii and my Dad was a federal agent, he previously worked in DC and Philly before we moved there, he still wore aloha shirts to work because it was just the normal thing to do there.

Can't help but agree with it either, its always nice. Why tie yourself down with a suit? (pun intended)
I do, with others, a lot of ML anomaly detection in the cyber security context. Deeply has interesting ideas, especially the encoded logs via lstm. The work was presented at a workshop at NIPS 2017.

One of the interesting facts we ve been able to measure empirically over the past few years is that the statistical anomalies' scores magnitude as reconstruction error are uncorrelated with the criticality of the anomaly in terms of security / threat.

This means that in practice SOC operators need to label on top of the anomaly detection and a supervised model can do the reranking after a while.
It always comes back to greed. Corporate greed and propaganda is what causes so much plastic junk. The corporate greed stands against responsibility for the junk they produce. Corporate propaganda interferes with the government of the people and turns it into a government of the rich.

No. People don't understand or care what is going on behind the curtains as long as their computer seems to work.

In my opinion there is no excuse for the shit Microsoft is pulling. Goodwill my ass.
The film industry uses almost exclusively fiberglass as well. There's no shortage. They're swimming in those things. I would bet their lifespan is shorter than the wooden ladders, however. At least from what I've seen.
It's not political speech. It's you being an asshole which, under other circumstances, could well lead to someone punching you in the face.
I can't imagine any competitor is anywhere near what Steam has in user numbers, however many publishers have their own exclusive clients now. EA with Origin, which actually has great customer service (you can chat with customer service reps without waiting a month), Activision-Blizzard though I think Activision still releases games on Steam, GOG which I have no experience with but hear its good and then there's Uplay which is fine, integrates with Steam. But I like many Steam users am invested in the platform, I just wish they did some things better.

The Oath Keepers are more extreme than nearly all other white people. Just a fact. Read up on them and I think you will agree.
Favorite excerpt:

"We had one ladder here that was fully involved in a fire for 25 minutes, and the whole tip of it—six feet—was crispy. It looked like a log you pull out of a campfire," Braun says. "That can't go back in service but we were curious, so we put a new halyard [rope used to hoist ladders] on it for a load test. Even in that condition, it passed."
Pressure? But it’s going to be mighty expensive to build a pressure chamber that big.
So what you're suggesting is that this person should not complain. Instead he should set up his own business, offer better salaries than everyone else, and single-handedly change the labour market of an entire country. Great suggestion. Why didn't I think of that?

This is a common phenomena, and I'm not sure if there's a general term for it. E.g. people prematurely stop taking antibiotics because they feel better, or people go off their meds because they feel fine, etc.

Nobody has tried because nobody has ever been arrested by the TSA. The TSA calls the airport police or local police and they arrest you. It's hard to imagine a scenario where airport police will not take the TSA's word for it.
I've never seen it, but I wonder if that's because the guys who actually knock your head are not ever really seen at an airport security checkpoint until something happens. And then they are everywhere. I have to believe that DHS has already thought of what's being proposed here.

Nothing in djbsort's approach is inapplicable to another sorting algorithm, so maybe we can hope for better primitive support for discrimination sort implementations (or at least american flag sort implementations). I seem to recall reading that discrimination sorts are inherently content-independent.
I think the difference is that there are other safety nets in place to prevent people from taking too much. Those are most likely still in effect with the postcards, the only difference is people now know when they can escalate their issues with not getting rice from a local official and succeed. The local official never wants this since the official knows what the citizen is actually due and escalating the issue will confirm this. If someone is demanding too much from the local official, they will have no worries about the complaint running up the chain because they are doing their job correctly.
While playing with the result (working emulator) can be exciting, the process of developing itself sounds quite mundane.

Ask HN: Do you need on-demand terminal environment for ad-hoc job?
My company is a container hosting provider and we were tinkering with the idea of offering instant on-demand environments for developers who quickly need for ad-hoc jobs, like test or demo an idea or for remote pair programming.

The environment would be web based terminal and persistent. The environment would be spun up very quickly (within 5 sec.) with root access. You may install any thing or configure it as you like, save, backup, rollback, etc. Also, you can single click to publish a ready environment to internet. Also, you can invite your colleagues to access the environment directly via the web terminal by email. This allows remote team to debug and collaborate far more easily than screensharing.

We were thinking this would be useful for developers not skilled in DevOps or other infra software, but wants an easy to use single click solution to spin up the environment they need very quickly. They could select from a curated list of environments to launch.

Is this something you would be interested in using?
