Definitely is difficult and I personally think it is ridiculous to expect. The better solution would be to rework laws so that folks working come out ahead. I imagine this would include having benefits reduce more slowly than small income gains. If anything, the benefit losses should mirror the gains as it makes no sense to punish making $50 more with a $100 loss.
How did you pull that off?

Eclipse actually uses SWT, the least terrible Java UI framework! But making a cross-platform UI framework is just fundamentally difficult, it seems, and is always a compromise.

With SWT, the upside is that you get native widgets that look and work like they're supposed to on the platform, but on the other hand, if the same widget can appear with different sizes, looks and behaviours it's difficult to customize it, align it nicely and ensure the whole design behaves coherently.

With Swing, the other terrible Java GUI library, you get the same look and feel everywhere, but that look and feel is wrong on every platform. As well as slow, ugly and (still!) full of bugs.

Here's a fun Swing bug I noticed yesterday in IntelliJ:

1) Put IntelliJ somewhere in the middle of the window stack, i.e. with some windows under it and some above it.

2) Switch to a different virtual desktop. (Tested in Xfce on Debian.)

3) Switch back to the desktop with IntelliJ on it.

You will find (or I did, at least) that IntelliJ has moved

a) to the bottom of the stack, if using Jetbrains' bundled JRE;

b) to the top of the stack, if using Debian's JRE.

Some Java developers like to claim that it's just everyone using it wrong, but Swing is stuffed with these focus-related bugs. I've seen them in every Swing application now and then, for decades. (It also likes to create windows at the wrong position only to move them to the right position, and draw things initially with slightly wrong layout and then redraw them with the right layout. You can observe this as well in IntelliJ when it starts up.)
On some significantly higher level you might have some aspects correct, there.

Certain aspects? Sure. All aspects? No. I don’t mind the buying the use and the minor incidentsl things. But if the addiction causes harm, be it physical, material or other major impacts on others, then it becomes both a health issue and a criminsl issue (stealing, hit and runs, deception, and obviously more). But yes, let’s try and treat it first rather than seek punishment first.
Quite a novel attack originally reported on Reddit.

Basically, it was possible to use a bug in the wallet software to send multiple outputs to the same stealth wallet, potentially allowing an attacker to cheaply burn a large amount of someone else's tokens, on account of the wallet simplying ignoring the issue.

This has now been fixed. Great work from the Monero team.

That comic is fake news. I can't find the source, but the Economist made a pretty good graph with good data demonstrating that when you control for certain factors, poor people and people with measured below average IQ definitely are more likely to have children.

I've used it in several communities to prove identity and statements in cases where I both have either authority or a need to be trusted, since I choose to remain pseudonymous.

It's easier for people to grasp/verify than the alternative ("pure PGP"). They go to /verify, paste in my message, and make sure it confirms as me. Keybase being compromised is outside the scope of the threat model - the threat model is mostly "impostors pretending to be me trying to get you to download potentially harmful files". People have no reason to know who I am but they do have a need to verify I am who I say I am.
seems logical.. i would argue the inflection point in the ubiquity of pooled compute services came as bandwidth needs increased due to more businesses interacting directly, remotely and in real time, with customers, be they consumers or other businesses

if compute needs were all internal, as they are with desktop apps.. namely, compilation.., and with the majority of computationally expensive machine learning demands.. namely, training.. then i'd argue the pooled compute model would have remained niche

I can see how the programmer example is analogous to the others and shows naïveté.

I don't see how any of those is analogous the parent's suggestion. Privacy is not a business rival to Google (as Amazon to small shops or UPS to bike couriers).

True, the attribute privacy hurts one of Google's profit channels; but then, it also makes the product less attractive [1] to the users it needs and exposes it to legal liability, or may leak information that hurts users and hurts profitability in other ways. Even if Google benefits from loss of privacy in some respects, it is hurt in other ways by not consistently, predictably enforcing privacy boundaries.

Neither is true for Amazon vs mom-and-pop or UPS vs independent bike couriers.

Lumping them together is unfair and only communicates "there exists a superficial similarity to an argument that's stupid".

[1] I get it, "if you're not paying, you're not the customer..." My point should be clear though.

> I've had to excuse myself from conversations because mentioning something I thought was innocuous (e.g. paintball) is apparently unacceptable conversation via being "non-inclusive".

You might have first experienced this in the Seattle area, but it is by no means unique geographically. This kind of personality that wants to be offended by everything and everyone is proliferating everywhere.

>if someone talked to me back east I'd probably give them a funny look, a very terse answer, and try to end the conversation ASAP

This sounds a lot like the Seattle Freeze, which has been a long-standing reality. I guess I'm (pleasantly) surprised by your approach of smiling more and seeking to talk to people. Keep it up, it's something we've needed in Seattle for a long time.

As Microsoft / Adobe / whoever else was here in the 80's and 90s money rolled in, Seattle started a cultural shift. I went away to the midwest for college between 1996-2000 and never quite adapted to the shifts. Today I'm there a week out of the month or so and I don't even recognize it; it's not the city I grew up in, in any form.
I don't find the idea histrionic. We are seeing a constant and repeated degradation of worker's rights in ways that are both limiting what workers are allowed to do outside of their employment with a company, and in limiting worker's abilities to seek redress for any damages done to them by their employers. We already see industries where every single company operating in that industry requires arbitration agreements which employees have no protection against. The courts have said its kosher, the legislature has no intention of blocking it at a federal level, and for many classes of workers there are no options without arbitration agreements. That is just removing the protection of the courts from a massive number of workers.

Combine this with other controls on workers, like companies getting a say in whether or not you get unemployment, and workers are being forced more and more into a choice of do what the companies say or starve. I don't see how this doesn't end with virtual slavery like being forced to work for 1c/hr but you stand here and say its stupid and hyperbolic.

I admit that I did assign you a position you never stated. I have mostly seen arguments against discussing issues like this come from die hard libertarians who think there should be no sort of government interference in agreements between employees and employers and I made an assumption about you without evidence, for which I apologize

3% isn't much, but over, say, 20 years of constant 3% inflation, that's 80% inflation total. Now this is just a quick math example and it's not the real situation, but it goes to demonstrate that over time inflation has a large effect. You could argue that over time this huge effect of inflation along with the stagnation of wages makes it so that people can't support previous standards of living, including supporting children. That's just my two cents--I haven't taken a single class on macroeconomics.

I think the key here is that people function better, and break addictions better, when they realize and submit to the concept that they do not (and can't) have complete power and control over their own lives. The notion of a "higher power" or "God" can help people get into that posture of "letting go", which helps them find real support outside of themselves (and their addictions).

Being a Christian myself, I know I function much better when I'm consciously in an attitude of trusting God -- it lets me relax and simply be who I am and do what I need to do, without worrying about "fixing things" outside of my control. (And yes, I do take an intellectually rigorous approach to my faith, but that's a different topic.)

I still think any such losses are on the bank itself. It would be incumbent upon them to refund, especially given that the details of such an attack are in the public domain!
See above, supreme Court has wrestled with this before, thus it does violate the letter of the law.
My wife and I never eat with fewer than six herb/spice jars and/or condiments at our table. Exactly which ones vary from meal to meal, and there is no guarantee that either of us uses a given spice. (I've been on a fines herbes kick lately, and balsamic glaze is a perennial guest.) Black pepper is present less often than not, but it's used deliberately when it is.

We think we're weird, but I would be glad to know we aren't unique. Spices are the spice of life!
> Because the rent is proportionally expensive.

The article addresses that. For many people, the compensation more than makes up for it, and often by a large margin, e.g. more than the entire salary you'd make elsewhere, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18067642.

The truth is that the author makes a ton of good points for ambitious young people like himself, which is the audience he's addressing. Commenters who are (justifiably) tethered to their lives elsewhere have a strong incentive to deny this.
> It's the cyclists who are terrors, but that's a whole different topic.

No, it is not a different topic. Please explain. I biked in Berkeley and SF for ~5 years and never had a single problem. I bike Central Square to Kendall Square every day now and can't bike without feeling I'm actively being attempted to get killed. Nobody respects bike lanes here, and if I ever have to use normal car lane (because there is an asshole in the bike lane) people start yelling at me, honking at me, or try to pass me very fast. And this is Cambridge, I can't even begin with Boston where there are no bike lanes; biking in downtown/Fenway/Beacon Hill feels like running in a mine field.

I've biked in a lot of places in the world: Paris, Koln, Berlin, Istanbul, the Bay Area etc... and never felt as unsafe as I feel in Boston.

Ah, good point; I read it as per month for some reason. Also divided by 30 rather than working days in a month, ~21. So it's more like $21/day, which is obviously more than a lunch. Either way though, these differences are dwarfed by the difference in salary, so it really comes down to that and the actual differences between the jobs and work environments. (Interesting point that higher-contribution healthcare is generally lower quality though! Would be interesting to see some kind of study of that; it does make intuitive sense.)
If you're talking about falling marriage rates, then that's still not true either; the benefits of marriage may fall too (and still would be irrelevant to the point about past correlations between marriage and income).

I fully agree that it is a horrendously difficult problem. But from cross breeding, most of the time the offspring is sterile. Like a mule or liger. But you're right, things often don't go according to plan.

But there is an overwhelming amount of scientists, who are smarter than me and actually study this, that believe it is worth the risk. I'm willing to put my trust into their judgement. Btw, there has been a LOT of testing. But what I mentioned in the OP was more about that at a certain point you have to take a leap of faith.

Accelerators That Charge Fee Over Equity+Cash?
Hey everyone! I'm currently working with a CVC and we have employee-incubated startups. Rather than just listening to in-house voices we're looking to partner with an external accelerator/incubator group to help nurture the startups with an objective voice. I know this model sounds pretty unconventional, but does anyone have leads on any leading players in this space?

I've seen TechCode, Ignite's Pre-Accelerator program, and niche programs like REach. Perhaps this is more of a startup consultancy than incubator. Kind of a weird situation since so much of the value is tied to the small % chance that a startup succeeds, making the portfolio effort worth it and thus giving startups a good deal upfront. Figured, hey, never hurts to ask right? Hahaha.

Exactly. France has extremely strong engineering schools, and almost no software industry. You wouldn’t believe the talent being wasted in banking IT desks and consulting conpanies... Not only can a well-funded startup pay them better, the work is 10x more interesting. And unlike Silicon Valley engineers, French employees won’t ditch you after a year. Once they’re on board, they tend to stick around (sometimes even too long for their own good...)
> have to erode eventually

That's not borne out by history, especially in the face of "enterprise" hardware, software, and support, which, in many large companies, is being replaced by cloud (at lower cost!).

For smaller companies, it may be a different story, especially at the next economic downturn, especially if VC money becomes scarce enough for long enough.

The Lancia Megagamma: http://oldconceptcars.com/1930-2004/lancia-megagamma-concept...

This concept basically invented the minivan/MPV (no sliding doors, but most European MPVs don't have them).

After Fiat/Lancia passed on putting it into production themselves, multiple manufacturers took note and began working on their own production versions. The Japanese were actually the first to market with the 1982 Nissan Prairie and 1983 Mitsubishi Chariot. The Americans and Europeans were next: Chrysler launched the 1984 Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager, while Matra and Renault launched the 1984 Renault Espace (it was designed by Matra and originally intended to be sold by PSA as a Talbot... but PSA killed the Talbot brand and with it their partnership with Matra at the last minute, so Matra took the design to Renault).
