I am all for basic income, but as an Ontario resident, this was not basic income. This was an opportunity to give 4k people within a very specific demographic (mainly voters for the incumbent party = the working poor) free money and see what happens. Without giving it to those at the real bottom (jobless) or those in other brackets, it's not very scientific in terms of piloting basic income. The new party basically ran on "roll back all the damage and overspending the prior party put in place, then figure out how to do it properly" which if you live here isn't the worst deal necessarily. We are in somewhat of a Make Ontario Great Again situation now though, with the former party that put this in place being like a way, way less competent version of the Obama democrats. Not we have an (arguably) more competent version of the Trump republicans in place. Suffice to say Toronto is pretty unhappy, but the rest of the province is mostly happy about it.
I agree, this doesn’t need to be a Vue component t. I looked through the source and it seems to be pretty poorly factored code that transforms inputs to css. I wouldn’t recommend using this library as the code seems to be somewhat hacky.

For example, it has lazy loading which is already questionable - why would you want that in an image processing library? But the way it checks this is to see that you are putting one transition group into the component. Why not have a prop that turns it on? I don’t think there is a reason - I think this developer is rather inexperienced.
I lean towards the latter option.

Sarbanes-Oxley's aim was to de-risk the market, and lower risk generally brings lower returns.
Really ?

Everything I use today seems to have some micro processor thing in it.

Cars can run into things and typically this causes damage and can cause loss of life, as an example where bugs can kill folks.
I don't really want to call this pseudoscience, but what it's missing is the connection to psychiatry and neuroscience and to me falls into the nasty tendency of bucket thinking. Just because traits are observable and nameable doesn't mean they're actually valid. You're just handing amateurs dumb "diagnostic" tools that are just going to harm interpersonal relationships rather than make them better.

If I observe you as having narcissistic traits, and you observe yourself as having narcissistic traits, and you form an identity around being a narcissist, nothing meaningful has been done. You still have no useful tools with which to make your life better.

The psychological world needs a lot less of this, because handing people convenient identities without a corresponding plan of action for improving yourself that actually works, is contributing to rather than alleviating the problem.

I don't think half of the people who think they're on the autism spectrum are anywhere close to it. I don't think half of the people described as narcissistic or psychopathic deserve the term. I do think that most people have emotional difficulties, and quantifying and providing resources for improving emotional health and depth should be the primary focus of psychology at the moment.

I like the focus on loneliness, I hate the focus on disorders.
Regardless of ideology, our representatives are reliant on campaign contributions. (Obama was famously friendly to Big Finance.) Especially after Citizens United, concentrated wealth disproportionately impacts governance.
You may not see him at all if the project is "TNG take 2". He probably doesn't want to do it. I'd much rather see an extension to the story with a different angle than nothing at all.
He is also hilarious as the CIA director in American Dad.

The Government wrote themselves a law (the "Investigatory Powers Act 2016") that says the Home Secretary can write to a service provider and ask them to record all the connections made.

Some of Britain's smaller IPSs don't like this sort of stuff (e.g. Andrews and Arnold's "implementation" of the government's opt-in child friendly censorship was to have a checkbox on their application page, if you say you want censorship it says you should choose a different ISP...), and so the smart money is on them having not written to ISPs at all. The backbone providers are few, bigger, and much more corporate. No colourful personalities apt to make the government look a fool in a televised hearing. So any letters probably went to the backbone providers although so far as I know none have come forward to say so.

In 2017 the ECJ told the UK government that such mass surveillance is prohibited, and it is also widely rumoured that the government then told the backbone providers to pause the collection.

"Then again, we don't need the government to punish them. We just need account holders to close their accounts. If people are not willing to do this, why should the government that represents those people get involved?"

Because we have decided that it's easier for everybody if we set standards for businesses so we can trust them to act ethically. When you go to a restaurant you generally can be confident that you won't get poisoned. So if you are a Wells Fargo customer you should be able to trust that you don't get screwed over.

It's not realistic to put the burden of monitoring business practices on the individual person. If you ever have dealt with buying a house or medical stuff you should know that understanding the transactions completely would probably be a full time job. That's why we have regulations and laws so people can spend their time more productively.
Probably because the people in question are still drinking the Kool Aid.

What's that one biohack that's universally applicable that everyone should do, and what are the enhancements you'll see from it?
The problem with SP500 is survivorship bias, obviously the "top 500" companies is continually redefined every year and is, after all, the top companies, so you'd expect a much better return from a subset of the best companies rather than the market in general.

Something like Wilshire Index returns 7% CAGR over the last 20 years. Interestingly, Russell and Dow are about the same 7%.

As the economy becomes ever more permanently unequal, the concept of one number representing inflation becomes less meaningful because there is no longer one standard of living or one cultural expectation. Something like M2 is 14000 now and 4000 in 98 so thats 6.4% annually. After tax the Wilshire would only return maybe 3% or so, minus 6.4% inflation, whoops... Or you could use the famous Big Mac price index which is about 2.8% over the same time period, leading to a very slight profit of a fraction of a percent. Are you part of the separate subset of society that lives off M2 or off big macs or ...?

So investing in "the market" depending on hand waving provides a modest negative to approximately zero return. If you can pick the subset of winners in advance, the SP500 is quite profitable, although if you can pick winners in advance there's probably more profitable things to predict.

Also remember the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent over all values of "irrational" or "solvent" or "longer". I have a medical insurance bill to pay next month, not over ten twenty or hundred year average. Pulling out a constant sales price from the market to live draws down a balance faster than pulling out a constant small percentage of total value over a long time period.

Then of course there's long term demographic issues. The USA is supposed to be richer in the future because... why exactly? You might get a bigger slice of the pie, but theres no particular reason to expect the pie overall to expand.
This on is a good story too. Chinese agents rush into your house, take your coffin and destroy it. No propaganda just reality fror the Chinese.

What kind of tools do you generally use? I’m assuming a search engine to identify particular landmarks/stores/etc, and personal knowledge, but what else?
This kind of project allows companies to host their own shorteners, which is an entirely different use-case than some random shortening service used by the public.
This is...eerily perfect. It's so interesting that these interests overlap frequently enough to warrant their own subreddit.
I live in a dictatorial country with 90%+ of the tech, industrial, and service sector owned directly by the president's family. So I kinda feel like whatever work I take on in this country is evil in one way or another.

I haven't had to hack independent media agencies and opposition parties yet and I plan to keep it that way.
It's 'Fortune favours the bold' just fyi ;) Thanks for the support nojvek. Hope to meet you IRL along the west coast one day.
I think of Sebastian Junger's observation about the war in Afghanistan: "Each Javelin round costs $80,000, and the idea that it's fired by a guy who doesn't make that in a year at a guy who doesn't make that in a lifetime is somehow so outrageous it almost makes the war seem winnable."
I was too young for Voyager or even Enterprise. I was introduced to the Trek through JJ Abrams movies. Later when I watched Enterprise, Voyager and the Jean-luc movies, I did realize why people criticize JJ movies. However, they still do a good job of introducing new people to the Star Trek Universe. Considering the revival of Star Wars, I do feel Star Trek could use some new fans.
You are running the same framework by the same author, which certifies that they behave the same to some extent. It's the same way, that Gnustep is not an adequate replacement for Cocoa.

Have you done mobile development?

If you run on top of the iOS simulator, you still don’t have any “guarantees” that they will run the same way. I’ve been doing mobile development since before the iOS App Store every existed (Windows Mobile), you always had to run on the real device and the behaviors and the performance characteristics were nowhere near the same.

When you are developing with Xamarin, you smoke test on the simulator at first and then you run on the device using the Xamarin player - the same way you are going to deploy your code.

Now it is C binaries... It was just binaries before. You can move Go binaries with no problem, the crosscompiled ones too, because they do not have problem with importing symbols nilly-willy.
You can do that with C binaries too, but you have to take care. Just make sure you know what are you linking against, bundle it if it is not present on the target or just link statically. It no problem for a competent developer, who knows what a linker is and can maintain ABI hygiene.

Excuse me for referring to the most popular language for writing native code (and the language that Linux itself was written in) instead of specifying that I’m not talking about Go of all things. Almost all non C languages that I’m aware of have a way to call native C code - not Go.

Your “solution” for distributing C code is “statically linking”? So if I have four python modules that all have native dependencies they should all ship with statically linked libraries? Not only will my code be larger, so will the memory requirements. If you have four processes all using the same dynamically linked library, the library is only in memory once, with statically linked libraries, you are increasing your code size and your memory footprint.

How well do you think that with work with the 128MB VMs that you get to run Lambdas? Or do you think I should just spend more on higher capacity lambdas? If I wanted to use heavyweight VMs and Docker containers, I might as well use Windows.

But this whole thread you’ve shown when it comes to developing mobile applications, you’re speaking hypothetically while I’m speaking from a perspective of doing mobile development for over 10 years.

I’ve even played around with J2ME development.

The largest issue is that you’re over indexing on the value of the simulator. Mobile simulators have never been a good way to validate the functionality, user interaction, performance, etc. of a mobile app. They are pretty good for development, and okay for negative testing (if it doesn’t work on the emulator it probably won’t work on the device), but you can’t depend on it for positive testing.
I've been working on this project nights and weekends for about a year. It's been a fun mix of a lot of things -- hardware, software, CAD, web apps, device drivers.

It's still rather primitive, but it's reached a point where I believe it could be useful to other astronomers.

I'd appreciate feedback from anyone about the web site, video walkthrough, and product. If you are into astronomy or astrophotography, I'd especially appreciate any feedback you have about the product itself, and what you'd find useful.

Thanks in advance for checking it out.
Dumping risk into individuals isn’t something to celebrate. If companies face the consequences of bad software, they’ll have to implement processes that actually promote software quality, not find random ICs to crucify.

Government style bureaucracy with MBA management culture, heavy risk management, and constant growth by acquisition.

Some roles pay very well, but are inflexible and boring. I knew a guy making $180k as a contractor to be a storage engineer. His entire job was fulfilling SAN zoning requests. He ended up bootstrapping a startup just to stay sane.
I love Ingress for the discovery factor (there’s many works of public art that simply aren’t indexed anywhere else), unfortunately our local community is a bit toxic so I play solo and use it as an enhanced map more than anything these days. Maybe when 2.0 comes out...
Yes, so punish the 98% who invest responsibly because 2% go ape? I know plenty of people who lost their shirts investing in real estate in the 00's because supposedly that's a "safe" investment that retail investors can be trusted with since there's so many checks and balances. Gimme a break. All investments are risky. Public companies can go bankrupt. Real estate markets can crash. Shit hits the fan. People are either adults and take responsibility for their financial decisions or they're not. The legal distinction between who can buy what assets based on net worth is absolutely ridiculous.
I thought SOX came out of Enron and WorldCom which didn't have much to do with the 2008 recession?
Was it? I had the same question. After reading your comment, I went back and searched and still don't see it. All I see is that they would have been in Japan illegally, which doesn't answer the question as to why Japan wouldn't let them OUT.
I don't think that particular feature made it onto the record, but Garret's confession rings true because AT&T did have a lot of capacity problems for a few years after the iPhone launch, especially in New York and San Francisco. I can find a lot of articles from 2009 mentioning dropped calls.

Geocaching! Along with the already mentioned Ingress, it’s helped me find so many obscure yet beautiful and interesting locations. The local community is great too, and there is a certain thrill of mischief snooping around for a tiny magnet inside a city trying not to be spotted.
Also interested, any pointers?
Back in the day, I loved flipcode (https://www.flipcode.com/), for pure, development-oriented content. r/gamedev was pretty good in the early days, but quickly turned into something I no longer read (reasoning here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/3zd4nq/my_opinion_...)
There's no point to that type of speculation. Maybe got pushed. Maybe he fainted. I was at a concert a couple of weeks ago, and the guy standing in front of me just suddenly fell over backwards unconscious. Things happen. You can't tell from either angle I've seen.
This may be a suprise for you but you can invest in an S&P 500 tracker and get the S&P 500 returns. You don’t need to pick the winners in advance.

Another thing you may find surprising: the long-term historical average return for small cap indices is higher than for large cap indices.
> First, he conflates the use of currency with fiction. Currency doesn't need fiction to function, it can be survive even if every human was completely rational and couldn't be tricked with fiction. That's because the mechanism that gives currency its value is game theoretic equilibrium / focal point.

Disagree. Currency exists because humans cooperate on a common medium of transaction. If cooperation didn't exist (via fiction), then the equilibrium wouldn't exist.
WF doesn't hold the deed, they merely service the mortgage for a cut of the interest rate. They send the letters, keep track of the taxes and insurance, enforce the foreclosures, etc. They're nothing but a third party. The actual mortgage is held by, generally, holders of mortgage backed securities and/or the US Government via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
78 degrees Fahrenheit inside (85 outside) is way too damn hot to work comfortably for me. There is literally no way I could work somewhere like that. What happens when it’s 95 outside?

A cold office with a/c helps keep me awake and functioning. Being too hot staring at a lightbulb all day seems oppressive.

The author is disappointing, particularly given his recent extreme popularity. His entire book Sapiens basically harps on the theme that human institutions are all "shared fictions", completely ignoring any kind of structural/economic reasons for existing. It's as if he thinks that how supply/demand affect prices is a "fiction" we invented and are free to un-invent if we so chose, rather than a reliable explanation of human behavior.

I just can't seem to find any real analytical or explanatory value in anything he's written thus far.
> Can you point to a Mozilla announcement that says they'll turn on DOH by default in a regular non-experimental non-nightly release?

Right on their blog (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/05/a-cartoon-intro-to-dns-ove...), quoted by the article:

"We’d like to turn this on as the default for all of our users. We believe that every one of our users deserves this privacy and security, no matter if they understand DNS leaks or not."
The problem here is that Swift is sort of this hybrid between two disparate worldviews, the old Objective-C world where inheritance is cool and dispatch is dynamic and the new world where inheritance is not even permitted and traits are used to provide dynamic dispatch. It's trying to be everything to everyone. This is one of those crossover points where the seams don't meet. If this was all dynamic, it would be fine because the messages would be dispatched properly. If this was all new world, you wouldn't even be allowed to subclass, would refer to your trait explicitly, and again, everything would work fine.

This is a fundamental structural issue with the language, philosophically, and will definitely cost programmer productivity. I'd argue this isn't a problem so much as behaves correctly due to insufficient planning.

It's not that they're taking a position on dynamic dispatch, it's that they're trying to take both positions, likely in support of Objective-C compatibility.

IMO dynamic dispatch has caused way more programmer productivity issues than anything else - you write code the compiler can't validate because you explicitly chose not to give it the information it needs to do it's job. It can't tell you your code is right. Nothing really can. The new world is a better place, Go and Rust have it right, inheritance is dead.
I feel like r/edc and r/buildapc run against r/ultralight philosophically. The first two are about having a bunch of stuff you don't need: for r/edc, stuff like multiple weapons and tools that rarely ever see use; for r/buildapc, excessive hardware ("futureproofing") and furniture for playing games. On the other hand, r/ultralight is about reducing your kit to the actual essentials that will be carried over nontrivial distances and used daily.
I'm going to give that a listen this afternoon, thanks!
No the ICO mania just underscored a point: people want access to capital markets. They're so hungry for it that they're willing to accept tokens backed by nothing. If companies could issue security tokens without excessive regulatory burden they would do so, and we could use classical evaluation models for arriving at fair market value for said tokens.
Primary reason why I have encrypted AP is because I have limited bandwidth per month, as pretty much everyone else with few exceptions.

You can still buy publicly traded REITs with residential real estate in them.

Also if you’re complaining that exchanges delist penny stocks, I fail to the see the tragedy. The microcap pink sheets are the home of scams and pump and dump schemes.

When people invest in these things and lose their life savings, it creates huge social problems and a burden on the welfare system.

Small correction: to have a ratio of 0.5x revenue with their current market cap they would need annual revenues of $1.8T (obviously, still a very large number).

For comparison, their revenue in 2017 was $178 billion, and in 2013 it was $74 billion.

Some of this can be attributed to the relatively few opportunities raising money last year. Some of it is due to uncapped raises, which should not be done, in my opinion.
