I think he could have let his ideas free more.

Is there a comprehensive guide to xanadu or anything open source? I think inspirational as he is he is also a bit afraid people might take his ideas away and make it in to something different he can't control.
In the case of vandalism, I agree completely removing their basic income would be too much, just fining them like we already do is enough. For things that would land you in prison though, forcing you to have to work like you already have to under the current system seems less cruel than the alternative. Note that under UBI there's going to be a surplus of job opportunities that no one will want to do like cleaning toilets and such. So it's less a threat of death and hunger, and more a threat of having to resort to shitty jobs.
You can already do this. You just need a site to host it on.
Buster works if you set it to another STT service than the Google API Demo. They seem to have caught onto that one.
Hm. At some level, this would be great, particularly for fluidly switching among keyboards across many languages, or even for particular games or applications (remapping the keys to functions which are nicely labeled). But it would need to get the haptic cues right, such that touch-typing remains possible and enjoyable.

One side bonus is that presumably, your keyboard would now be covered in a continuous non-permeable sheet. Combined with haptic touchpads, we're edging closer and closer to a more water-resistant laptop.

So for something like this I would go Mobile first and I would use this new open source technology from Google called Flutter, you can avoid JavaScript all together and go with Dart, even if you’ve never used it it’s incredily easy to learn. In my opinion is far superior technology to react native. You could get out a cross platform app with some of the basic things you describe in a few weeks.

I would use AWS Lambda or Azure functions for the entire backend for something like this. You could make it incredibly scalable and do it incredibly fast. Both AWS and Azure have great managed Document database you could use to power the features you mentioned. It has never been easier than it is right now to build some incredibly things.

Shameless plug, this is exactly what I did with a recent app I built that can take any article and convert it to Audio. Check it out https://Articulu.com got it out for iOS and Android incredibly fast.
Nobody ever liked shopping for insurance. Nobody ever liked trying to find a job. Nobody ever liked "find a market niche" and "marketing their unique skillset." The Neoliberal fantasy is that all life choices are reducible to consumer decisions, and people love to pull out their spreadsheets and calculators and make those decisions in the most rational way possible, and it just isn't true. We want healthcare, we don't want to shop around for health insurance every single year, terrified that we will die (or be bankrupted) if we make the wrong decision. We want meaningful work, we don't want to negotiate terms on 85 different freelance contracts per year. We want government services, we don't want to stand in line at 87 different agencies and try to understand the difference between SNAP and CANF or the DMV vs the DPS vs the County vs the City. We want a home, we don't want to read the tea-leaves of what the Federal Reserve is doing with interest rates and what the Case-Shiller index says this quarter. We want a good education for our children, not a consumer choice amongst 3 different competing charter schools.

In general, we want to run our lives like people instead of like miniature conglomerates. Peoples' tendency not to want to live like automata is not the problem: the problem is the system they are trapped in which forces them to live as automata.

When I became unhappy with Google Keep I switched to Nextcloud Notes.

It arguably has some downsides compared to Keep, however it suits my needs and as a plus it supports markdown formatting.

Additionally it's open source, so you might get some insights into which thoughts went into it, which might help when designing your own solution.
Breathing certain forms of diatomaceous earth can cause silicosis and other lung problems:

Apparently breathing the amorphous form causes only mild and reversible lung inflammation. Breathing the crystalline form can be more dangerous.

Basic income that isn’t universal is just a targeted handout.

A real universal basic income experiment has to be perpetual (so I don’t risk my career and future by not working) and universal for a country (so you get the effect on prices, jobs, rents, health, attitudes).

This is also why there may never be an experiment - the first experiment will be the first true attempt.

So just don't do that. The application needs an "Open" dialog already so you can tell it what files to open, just have that dialog be a process run by the system instead of the application, treat the permission as implicit since the user is the one selecting the file, and pass a handle back to the application.

Read the paper. I have (now).

They’re discussing “learnability” as related to VC dimensionality and compressibility.

It’s absolutely related to aggregability.

Google Keep is an interesting because it's hard to exactly categorize exactly what it is, or exactly what use case it attempts support.

It's kind of like a crossover between a private Pinterest, a bookmarking app, and a note taking app.

So it's multi-paradigm.

But of you know your use case better, you can tailor your soltution to fit.

You can then make better decisions on online/offline, where to store state, web vs native etc.. this is the benefit of simplyfing and clarifying your use case.

For example, I am a heavy bookmarker (~70k bookmarks), so I built an open-source, self-hosted (I don't want to own your bookmarks) bookmarking web app (https://github.com/jonschoning/espial). It is pretty minimal, but it is tailored to quickly bookmarks while browsing. I didn't bother with native because I am already in a browser context when I want to bookmark something.

But maybe I am just biased towards web hosted tech. I just don't see the value add for native unless it's doing something intimately connected with the physical device or physical user.
1) taxing vacant properties: Vancouver started this, although with the intent of keeping out foreign riff raff. Eg, there may be loopholes for the longtime BC residents who just happen to own a second condo. It will be interesting to see how that plays out over time.

2) then you won’t get any new builds being built. Especially combined with all the regulations on minimum parking sizes, %age of below market units, if you add on permanent rent control, you may well tip over into the point where no developer will risk building because any project is guaranteed to be a loss.
I'm interested in this simply because Keep still, somehow, doesn't have sort by most recently edited, even tho Apple managed this as the default a decade ago. Manually dragging a note to the top every time I use the app is so painful.
Am being seriously downvoted. Anyone care to explain why?

I know the idea of software (and SaaS in particular) being a tricky passive side project is unpopular amongst the HN crowd, but unfortunately it's true.
I think GP is pointing out that it would be far safer to not use Java in the first place. One day Oracle could decide to kill OpenJDK, and since they have a history of aggression towards non-Oracle distributions of Java you would be trapped if you depend on Java.
I doubt that will happen, considering that civ is much more complicated (in terms of mechanics) than playing go or even starcraft.
Speaking the Same Language – Cloud Events Specification
I think you're missing the point you can do both? If you want to load a global stylesheet for common theming and then provide component level CSS in JS then that's absolutely fine and even suggested. Having dealt with many styling solutions in my time I find using styled components with the style mentioned is one of the greatest developer experiences I've had in many years. Being able to interpolate your react state within your css is just great and opens up the doors to massively simplify dynamic layouts which the state of which are much better represented in JS

What are NextCloud Notes' downsides, in your opinion?
Much of the willingness to attempt to write “scary” software when you are young is being ignorant of the complexity involved. That is probably why younger people are so disruptive in tech as well. Older you get the more reasons why not to do something appears.
Problem with QubesOS is how ridiculously heavy it is and that none of your stuff can actually use the GPU.
This is an incredibly poorly written and just straight up incorrect article. The entire premise is based on the idea that:

1. Investors will cash out at IPO (very false).

2. These unicorns are overvalued and playing just to get to IPO (also false).

Most VCs will hang on to significant equity post IPO and as evidenced by every tech company ever, the IPO is just a start. Amazon wasn't profitable for years but look at it now. This is how investing in innovation works, sadly the Guardian has no clue as evidenced by this passage in particular:

"In that quest, you need to be both ruthless and profligate, because those incumbents are normal firms that have to make profits – a tiresome obligation that does not trouble you. So the deal you offer to investors is this: you give us shedloads of money and stick with us until we get to be the winner that takes all. And then you can cash out."

EDIT: Also yikes at the comments on this article. It looks like the Guardian knows their audience because those are some super tech hostile readers!

It’s human nature, and it happens not just in business. People get up in arms whenever an open source project tries to monetize in some way other than “support”.
Once you subscribe to a podcast in the Apple player, Apple’s servers are no longer involved. The app polls the RSS feed directly from the host’s RSS feed and gets the audio/video directly from the hosts server.

Every podcast out there is either in AAC or MP3. Every device that Spotify has an an app for supports both formats natively.

Apple also provides better aggregate analytics as of about a year ago.
problem is usually line of sight to satellites, it varies a LOT and usually leads to variance in calculations.
Like java, the real problem is the runtime.
I'm not sure what OP meant. But for Java, your app runs inside an application server like Tomcat which handles the low level networking for you, I believe this fulfills a similar role as web servers fill for other languages like PHP.

Basically these severs provide a separation of concerns and are built to be more scale-able than a naive application listening on a port for requests.
Why is every single comment here being downvoted? I think many of them raise valid points and discussions; I, too, have always been suspicious of "dark matter" and have always looked at other possible explanations, such as "it appears there is matter/gravity there from our vantage point, but with a broader perspective/more complete picture we might see that { space time curves differently at the local, galaxy, intergalaxy scale (for example)}".

I did read the paper (now). Their question is of “learnability”, which relates to aggregability/compressibility and dimensionality.

This stuff is all in the same ballpark.

Having read their paper, I do appreciate the formulation and approach. I just don’t find the result “surprising” in the slightest.

Nobody goes there anymore, the congestion pricing is too high.

I've been hoping for something like this for some time (and have thought Apple might be moving in that direction with the Touch Bar etc). It may just be the way I type, and I may well be in a minority, but I'd much prefer a configuration with the keyboard closer to me and the trackpad elsewhere, since I actually don't use the trackpad as much as the keyboard. It'd be nice to be able to reconfigure the input surface on the fly.
How does what you're saying here about UK law being respected jive with the details presented in this story?

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/facial-recogniti...
Exactly. I end up pinning & unpinning notes to do this. Painful indeed.
If it's going that way then it's simple to pass a law making hiding your face, at all, unlawful. I don't get the slippery slope argument here -- if you have power to act on it then you have power to make it lawful for you to act on it so you don't need to use overtly gathered past databases.

No need for gov to do any of this to blackmail you, plant a record with an ISP arrest you for indecency; much easier?
Its not irreversible. Just like you can start UBI whenever you want you can technically stop it too.

Yea, people would modify their behavior to account for it and thus just eliminating it outright would cause a lot of transitional pains, but thats no different than if western governments tried eliminating retirement income, subsidized / free medicine, public infrastructure upkeep, etc.

How does it compare to TempleOS? :)
Agree fully on the points about people working with addicts, and Purdue seem to have no moral compass to counteract the profit motive. About the enslavememt to the chemical itself, it’s more complicated. The drugs primarily tend to serve as substitutes for the natural positive reinforcers the addicted person is missing, and there’s often a history of trauma and psychological unhealth prior to the drugs entering the picture. Like for the Krokodil users in the parent post, the natural and externally imposed consequences of maintaining the habit lead to a negative spiral where there’s more pain, suffering and hopelessness to face when trying to quit. I highly recommend Johann Hari’s book ”Chasing the Scream”, and Gabor Mate’s ”In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts”. Truly enlightening reads if one wants to better understand addiction
Kind of amazing.

goodluck sticking to speed limits by relying on a gps based speedometer...although seeing as how you're on the chamber of commerce in a tiny town that must not be a problem for you
Ugh. This article has virtually no content. Pretty similar to most other shallow coverage of tech in mainstream media (eg NYT).

Same claims of being overvalued/never drawing a profit we’re made about FB, Amazon, etc. too. And even if you actually believe current startups are overvalued, at least provide some kind of analysis.
> Now this is the very subjective part, having spent 8-9 years doing 3D graphics React felt natural to me. Given its popularity, I must not be the only one either. I am glad you like the Vue API but it doesn't feel like a 3D engine.

I would postulate that the subset of people who are both web developers and have also worked on 3D graphics is a relatively small slice, so I wouldn't be convinced that a 3D engine-like API is the reason for its popularity.
Possibly, sure. Depends on what IP blocks it has and how well known they are. Ultimately there is great incentive to track any retail VPN service, even the less well known ones.
PWA is not an acronym. It's an initialism.

Start by making mockups in Balsamiq. Then pick a single screen/view of your mockups to start picking up the basics of React Native (just use the Expo framework (which is a React Native framework) for rapid prototyping).

React is hard until your understanding of it finally 'clicks' - and having a wireframed visual reference of what your app is supposed to look like actually makes it easier to think about how it should be layed out in code, imo.

I actually just started learning React Native and I re-wrote the first iteration of my app's home screen many times (and kind of aimlessly) until I had something that actually made sense and was easily maintainable - still re-factoring it into something even simpler, tbh. That said, I think that was mainly due to me not knowing what was in the library or having approached the UI components properly in the first place, so I think I will be prototyping quite a bit faster over time.

re: state management/backend, I'm also confused as to what stack would be best for what I want to do. I'm guessing Firebase with some minimal manual state management? All the state updates my app needs to do is essentially record the user ticking some checkboxes, and some timers updating in the UI, and those persisting on a user's phone but also optionally associated with their account online if they so choose.

edit: I might actually go the PouchDB route
It’s not about sample quality or size - it’s about the behavior of a group when condition change, but the conditions didn’t change. For example, under a proper UBI I’d quit my job and start a business. Under this time limited experiment I never would have. In a proper UBI environment I might scale down my living to fit in only the UBI so I won’t be dependent on a job. Under a 2 year experiment I don’t.

There are some minor effects that don’t need universal+indefinite basic income to show up, but tbh those aren’t very interesting.

It would have been a more interesting experiment to fund just 100 people for life, with the same money, even though that sample would have been smaller! But even with say 10k people funded for life, you wouldn’t see the most important effects on the job market, prices, rents...

I'd expect it to be better than the car speedo. Car speedos typically overread by up to 10%, and if you fit a non-standard tyre, they can be way off.
It's great, but it has to be said there were too many rooms with "Full" signs and queues outside. To misquote Jaws, I think we're gonna need a bigger venue.

Edit: In retrospect this kind of sounds bad. ULB donates this huge campus for free which is a wonderful thing. Perhaps there is a better way to allocate speakers to rooms so that speakers with expected larger audiences are assigned to the largest rooms. An application for AI maybe?
I am not trying to insult you, but I am legitimately afraid of life in the future, because I know so many people hold your exact opinion on this.

And I believe it to be manufactured.
Actually we do. Under both common law, and statute via the Human Rights Act. What does being a monarchy have to do with it?

Say anything you damn well like unless it has been proscribed by Statute. Examples include inciting racial hatred or as here the provisions of this public order law.
"Weed-out" classes are pretty common across subjects, though.

I remember taking an introductory course in our undergraduate pre-med track which was basically just a new presentation about novel research every week. The exams would be on these fairly specialized papers which most first-year students were at a loss to understand, so they ended up being exercises in rote memorization.

When some of us complained to a TA that we didn't see how we could learn enough to understand the concepts without just memorizing key points and angling at the professors to find out what was important, their response was something along the lines of, "then are you really sure that you want to study biology and medicine for the next umpteen years?"

On the other hand, I hate telling people that a field "isn't for them" just because they don't feel like putting up with the bullshit which has accreted around the way that a subject is currently taught.

Personally, I'd like to see an introductory class about how to effectively search for answers online, find useful sources, ignore ads and obvious SEO-gaming, etc.
Good to know. It sounds like normal household use is fine, but frolicking in the stuff might be good to avoid.
