I'm trying it... starting to have second thoughts though. They make it look like it's all ready to go and then you start uncovering bits and pieces of things that seem to be half-done, half-legacy, half-dead at the same time. TBH it looks like they got spread too thin and can see how a good amount of services are solid while many are just there.
they address point #1 directly (still cheaper to drive around, at $0.50/hour). but really, they buried the lede:

> "But no one owns an autonomous vehicle now, so there's no constituency organized to oppose charging for the use of public streets. This is the time to establish the principle and use it to avoid the nightmarish scenario of total gridlock."

their thesis is that now is the right time from a policy perspective to implement congestion pricing on autonomous cars. the driving around aimlessly bit is literally to alarm politicians into action.

a pay-per-use model is economically rational but notoriously hard politically. only recently has technology advanced enough to do real-time pricing, which is arguably more fair than former systems (like flat rate pricing). ideally you'd pay per mile*minute (similar to taxis and ridehailing).
Great...this is bringing the crazies out of hiding.
Wether or not you disagree with facts, Snopes and others provide their reasoning and sources.

If you don't like the truth, at least look at why they draw the conclusions.

However, if the crazies actually did that, they most likely wouldn't be crazies anymore, and yet here we are.

Note: I ended up having to replace a word with "crazies" because the real snowflakes couldn't handle it.
Speaking of "throw that test tube in the trash", I'll share my anecdote:

One of the DNA testing companies was offering a free test for folks who suffer from things like autoimmune disorders (which I do). I signed up, got the kit, filled out the survey which asks a bunch of specific questions about which particular medical condition you have, etc. I set the box aside, planning to take it to work and drop it off in outgoing mail the next day.

Well, _literally the next morning_ my youtube account was suddenly showing ads for medication for my particular condition.

They didn't even wait to receive my DNA before selling me out! Threw that test tube in the trash faster than you can say "scumbag"!
So you're arguing that saying "tapping the side of a soda can will not prevent bubbles" is bullshit because thwacking the bottom of the can as hard as you can will?

This feels like you're being unreasonably uncharitable.
Step one: reduce the police-state nature of rail (and, for that matter, all) travel within the United States. I had no idea until recently that the DEA conducts horrifying, intimidating, completely suspicion-less raids on Amtrak sleeper cars.

It happened to myself and my family last year, and although I'm planning to take Amtrak again this coming week (as there is no other rail option), it's scary to enter that environment again.

Wish us luck and safety.

Uncool guys, you have hidden telemetry. I don't see anything in the docs about this.

The hard truth about the full stack developer. Myths and lies
This is exactly what would happen, if only because congestion would spike as people used roads as moving parking spots. One way or another, the economic cost of doing this would normalize.
Forever?

No until they control the market at which point you will pay all the subsidy back with interest.
The people in the international tribunal come from somewhere. Wouldn't they still be biased toward the part of the world they come from?
Point one is not obvious to me. Could you elaborate?
I actually had that in an earlier edit of my comment!

I got rid of it for lack of stability in the URL. There doesn't appear to be a nice semi-permanent home on the web for these photos.
Yeah, but you gotta get to serious load. If you use it as a mining rig it might go flat, but I've trained ML models, done 3d rendering, and played some demanding games on mine without any problems.
But they do not benefit everyone equally. Everyone benefits from inexpensive food; should the government make food tax-funded? If I mainly eat lentils, I would prefer to pay for what I use. If I eat lots of beef steak, I would be very happy to have others subsidise me.

https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2016/9/2/a-thousand-hidd...

1. The cost of a dead-end residential street mainly benefits the people that live there. Everybody else just pays for it.

2. A truck drives down the road hauling cases of beer. Part of the cost of this trip is paid for via general funds. Everybody contributes a small $X to the truck's journey. Person A drinks a case of beer, so they get 1 case of beer per $X. Person B doesn't drink beer, so they get nothing for their $X.

3. Person A commutes by car to their job every week day on Highway H. Person B walks to work and never drives. Both people pay $X for Highway H, but only one of them uses it directly.

These costs are so diffused that people assume taxation is a fair way to slice it up. The real fair way:

1. The people that live on the dead-end street pay for the dead-end street.

2. The cost of the truck's journey gets factored into the price of the beer. Person A will have to pay the inclusive price to buy a case of beer. Person B pays nothing, giving them $X back to spend elsewhere.

3. Person A will have to pay to drive on Highway H. Person B saves $X. Person A thinks maybe it is smarter to not drive so much.
Assuming a rational market (never guaranteed), there would be low fares during off-peak hours, and in the reverse direction, with higher fares at peak. So, you'd get some "induced demand" and shift in demand by travel being sometimes being very cheap.

It's sort of like congestion pricing.

Uber has done some of this already.
It's not about the cost, it's about the benefit. The author is arguing that the proposals for what to do with a super-LHC aren't very good and that's why it shouldn't be done.

So let's indeed spend the $20B- but spend it on 20 other $1B programs that will each provide better results and answers than what we'll get from poor theories that a $20B project can answer.

The companies will always think about their bottom line. They will think of the needs of the customer to the extent that actually affects said bottom line. But customers demonstrated, through their behavior in the marketplace, that they also prefer the service model - or at least they don't care enough to preserve the old model. And so, here we are.
Yes, I lived there for ten years and miss it.

I lived near 24th and mission spent most of my non-work time in that area (mission / noe valley). I took BART to work and back. I picked up groceries at local grocery stores, fishmonger, and butcher. There was a butcher, fishmonger, and grocery stores nearby, with both south-east asian and hispanic ingredients.

Mission street has various grocery stores, hispanic restaurants, and Sun Fat Seafood. Valencia had some quirky stores, good restaurants, and coffee shops. If you head east on 24th, it's similar to mission, plus dynamo donunts and humphrey slocombe ice cream. West on 24th is Noe Valley, which is a little more upscale and full of people with either strollers or dogs. Lots of single-family and small multi-unit housing in the area.

It had pretty much everything I needed in walking distance.

The financial district does fit your description (it's a ghost town on weekends), but I presume that's typical of financial districts.

I don't see how this is on Snopes at all. Facebook users (and even some news organizations) fall for The Onion articles all the time and report them as fact. Snopes debunks them - that's their job, that's what they have always done. Facebook failed to accommodate for satirical publications when they introduced their "fake news" flagging. This is entirely their fault.
Well BlueApron is on the rocks too, aren't they? So that's definitely possible.

Far enough. I guess what I was going was inferior feature-wise, but I wasn't clear and inferior is a loaded word, so it would have been better to phrase it as "Wolfensteign 3D supported far fewer cutting edge features" or "UU supported far more cutting edge features."

QuotaPath | Backend, Frontend or Full-stack Engineer | Philadelphia, PA or Austin, TX | $70K to $150K DOE | Full-Time | On-Site | https://www.quotapath.com/careers/
Happy new year, y’all!

Sales compensation plans can be shockingly complex. Too often, salespeople are forced to use unfriendly accounting software or to pass around buggy Excel spreadsheets. At QuotaPath, we’re solving this problem in a new way by creating a platform that’s built for salespeople, not accountants. Our business model is unique, both consumer-facing and B2B (“B2BC”; think Slack). Good UX and beautiful design are at the core of our process. The demand for a product like this is intense and we’re working as hard as we can to deliver features to eager users.

We’re looking for engineers to help us accelerate our development. If you’re interested in having a huge impact on a small team, this is a great opportunity. We’re well-funded, but we’re still only 9 people: 3 engineers, 1 UX and 4 others. I’m one of those 4 engineers, and I’m also the technical co-founder. Please ask me questions if you have any!

Our stack is Python + Django on the backend, TypeScript + React on the frontend, but we’re more interested in working with people who are smart and capable than people from any particular background. If you have strong opinions about using different tech, we’ll hear you. Like most startups, we’re built on lots of open source tech and we plan on giving back. We value building a culture of inclusion and transparency. We care about diversity and hope you do too.

Because perfect information makes insurances useless. Insurances work because we know that most people have roughly the same chance, plus or minus a bit, to get royally fucked in life by disease, acts of God, human maliciousness and all that. That means that when someone gets the rough end of the stick, the entire group helps to pay to keep them on their feet.

If we have perfect (or near-perfect) knowledge, what would insurers do? Well, they'd charge you for exactly how much you're going to cost, plus some administrative costs, plus some extra. At that point, everyone's better off not having insurance.
The magnetic field also gets very weak (90% drop in intensity and the magnetic pole way down near the equator) quite often. These are call magnetic excursions. They happen at an average frequency of maybe 50 thousand years or so with a high variance. The last big one is called the Las Champ excursion and happened about 41 thousand year ago. Species that needed a strong magnetic field that points north or south to exist would have gone extinct long ago. These species must have ways to survive when the Earth's magnetic field is unstable and weak because that happens on timescales much shorter than species evolution.

> Combined with higher marginal tax rate for very high income individuals

US economy has a non-negligible percentage of workers that are subject to windfall distributions - relatively low income for a long period and one excessively large payout upon success of some project. Book writers, movie industry, professional sports players, engineers at pre-IPO startups, real estate developers and everybody's favorites - hedge fund managers.

It's unrealistic to expect them to continue enjoying the same level of income every year, for many it's simply a one-time chance at retirement money.

Excessive taxation on such income without accounting for the previous (and future) years of low or no income seems unfair and will likely stall many long-term ventures.

We could also introduce a 99.9% tax on Powerball winnings, but what does that do to the long-term health of the lottery?

> the best way to tax the rich is taxing the land and property

In an economy where large shareholders of Apple are subject to such tax (through their US residency) but large shareholders of Samsung (who happen to be Korea residents) are not, aren't you providing a leg up to any foreign money? (The actual companies are irrelevant, could be Ford and Toyota, or Boeing and Airbus.) Foreign entrepreneurs based in Singapore or Monaco have more spare cash to fund and operate their companies and invest in R&D. In the long-haul does that make the US economy stronger?

Another issue is high-wealth but low-margin businesses. A family-owned supermarket chain might bring a wealth of >$50 mil, but their annual earnings on that might not be that outrageous. Under Warren's plan, they would effectively have to part with 2% of the supermarkets each year, not having enough cash on hands to pay the wealth tax bill. Is it a net win for the economy?
Buzzfeed have one of the best investigative bureaus in the world.

That seems more like an entrenched opinion that you've continually looked to reaffirm instead of opening your perspective.

First, serious work & powerpoint? Really? Yeah in an enterprise organization that's largely stuck doing what they've been doing because it's worked - sure, but that's not a technology issue, it's a culture issue.

For example, Google Sheets covers 80-90% of the use cases for Excel. But that's not what you should be comparing. A lot of what folks use spreadsheets for to do complicated calculations, have built lengthy, stitched together macros to automate processes, etc. would be much better in many cases to consider a completely alternate approach.

i.e a data warehouse, hey use a service like BigQuery that requires minimal adminstration and requires users to really only have SQL knowledge.

In order to effectively work across a large organization across different functions, product lines, etc., you have to remove every point of friction that prevents collaboration, etc. Desktop Office is great for individual work, but in today's dynamics, it really seems like you put a ceiling on productivity by sticking to it.
The three you listed are big spenders in the world of independent youtube channels and podcasters, but are they also big customers in the context of Vice or BuzzFeed?

Here's an older talk by Richard Alley with much more detail on Thwaites Glacier (including simple demo simulations of what happens over time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4oMsfa_30Q
Wow! Two (opinionated) thoughts here:

1) Why bother with all this technical excellence if you do not know even if your site will still exist an year from now? Poor analogy: you are building a Ferrari to deliver food.

2) You could adapt this tech to create another version of https://carrd.co, targeting another niche. That seems a more promising product that would benefit more from your tendency for technical excellence.
My guess is of course Bell would create their own VPN that would adhere to their own standards that you could use for a fee
... the great quote about the iPhone, and Fred Mertz physique/style.
>> Do you think the boys surrounded and intimated the old man?

>> Did the boys surround and approach the old man to stand intimidatingly close as WaPo reported?
Answer Y or N.

>>Do you the footage of the old man approaching the group of boys and standing very close to one of them is fake?

You have not answered any of these questions. Instead, you've either changed topic or made up your own questions and answered those.

The issue is not that I think your answers are wrong, it's that your answers don't exist.
