This is what React actually lets you do... It just also acknowledges that UI components must be sufficiently typed and coded that they can accept lambdas as properties in order to provide the expressivity needed. Template languages must be real languages because templates are macros at heart.

I expect Web Components will learn that lesson slowly and painfully instead, as they cling to the broken ideas that got us here.

> How is it possible to pull this much money out of the American economy without crashing it?

UBI actually injects money into the economy. Accompanying UBI would be reducing minimum wage to zero, managing inflation by increasing income taxes in higher brackets, and removing deductibles so that more tax is collected. By reducing minimum wages you encourage people to start up new companies — with no salaries to pay, you reduce startup costs significantly (there are still costs such as insurance, legal filings).

The whole point of UBI is to pay everyone the same guaranteed amount. If you start scaling back as income rises, what you are actually doing is a different scheme called Negative Income Tax. UBI basically pushes any wages into the taxable brackets immediately.

A national government would institute a UBI to encourage a mobile workforce, since reducing the cost of switching towns reduces the friction of moving to find better work. A UBI also reduces the level of exploitation of workers, so there would be less workplace induced chronic injury which is a net drain on the country. There will also be improved mental health as people aren't forced to work in dead end jobs just to make ends meet.

For the USA specifically, UBI would need to be accompanied by reformation of the health care system, basically completing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act so that health insurance is actually affordable, and not bound to employment. The USA will also need to implement similar systems of regulation of the cost of health care services and products.

I never really cared about making more than $5m until I realized that the profit motive[0] is going to destroy everything because it dumps everything into arms races and as human power goes up, due to increased scientific advancement and the accelerating search space for technological combinations that provide greater economies of attack asymmetry, negative externalities begin to dominate the world. Especially in areas where attribution is impossible, since deterrence isn't possible, or in areas where outcomes are unpredictable, for the same reason.

I just wanted to have fun and create a little garden for myself. Now I have to become some ugly combination of Soros, Orwell, and Nader[1] because the people with money right now are all people that cared about money, or—ethically better, but consequentially worse—they're techno-optimists.

There was an study done on some students from top universities in US.

The question they were given was, If they would work for Facebook given all kinds of scandals they were involved in. A lot of people said they wouldn't work for Facebook but later when some of them received offers nobody declined those offers and went on to work for Facebook.

I am wondering if the same experiment on people already working in industry will yield different results.
My point is that if you're in sufficient control of the stack to be able to convert the whole thing over to YAML, you could just as easily convert the whole thing over to JSON+Comments. And of course bad things would happen if you treat JSON+Comments as JSON, but similar bad things would happen if you treat YAML as JSON, so I don't see your point. It's not like people are trying to send their tsconfig's on the wire as "application/json" and expecting arbitrary parsers to support it.

$100. I believe I got them for less. They also came with an equalizer and a stereo receiver. Their equalizer technology was one of their key selling points back then. I can only imagine Bose copied this idea when it made its speakers, except with Bose you don't get much control over the EQ and without it the speakers do not sound great. Fisher speakers sound great without the fancy EQ.

edit: And for anyone who doesn't know what old high end supermarket speakers sound like from the early 80s: I have $400 headphones that are less enjoyable to listen to.

They are based on the current condition, including current constraints on use (zoning, etc.) That isn't restricted to current use (if alternative use was worth more even given current condition, such that the highest paying offer were it sold would be a buyer planning to switch uses, that would be reflected in appraisal.)

Committing Better Go Code with Static Analysis and Git Hooks
The emphasis on the word "narrative" is a little odd to me. In the book "The Everything Store", Brad Stone, the author, describes an awkward encounter with Bezos: one of the first questions Bezos asked Stone was "with this book, how are you going to avoid the narrative fallacy." The narrative fallacy basically means crafting stories where there should be none (e.g. interpreting data with a neat reason that seems plausible, while the reason may be completely wrong and is not proven by the data). See Nassim Taleb for more on the narrative fallacy.

Ask HN: “We got permission” has become meaningless; Can we invent a better term?
The word "permission" is construed very loosely by some internet companies, with regards to what is considered "consent" to collect personal data.

Because of this extremely broad usage, I assert that the word "permission" no longer has any meaningful use in this context.

I suggest a new term that encapsulates a strict definition. The rules are:

* The request for permission(s) should stand alone, consuming all the visible screen area, without any other distracting content.

* All of the data to be collected must be described in detail.

* All anticipated uses for the data must be described in detail, including any sharing of the data both within the company and to other companies.

* The user must answer yes or no before continuing. If the user does not respond or somehow closes the modal, the assumption is that the answer was NO.

* The permission granted is ALWAYS time limited to a maximum of 90 days, and must then be renewed.

* The user can easily revoke the permission at any time.

* A one-click link to revoke permissions must be provided to the user when permissions are granted.

* When attempting to renew a permission, lack of a response from the user is understood as a revocation of permissions.

If consent is acquired according to these rules, let's call this Continuous Affirmative Consent, or CAC for short.

When a company says that "users opted in via Continuous Affirmative Consent", it gives a strong signal that users were not deceived, and that they genuinely did grant their fully informed consent to share their data, and that they have the power to revoke that consent at any time.

Can we do something like this? If enough companies support a standardized form of explicit & renewable consent, it could create positive pressure for even the worst offenders to improve their behavior, or even commit to using the standard.

Once we can crack the micropayment nut, it opens a whole new world of ad-free low-cost subscriptions. I'd much rather pay $0.50 a month for a social network that has no interest in my data than deal with ads or data tracking.

But that needs to be both effortless for me as a user, and require very little in the way of processing fees. Both of which are not possibilities right now.

Cheap is better than free has always been my motto. Cheap is sustainable, does not require dark patterns for monetization and is transparent to the user.

But in order to get there, we need a way to pay small amounts of money to apps, creators and each other. And do it in a way that doesn't immediately become a lightning rod for economic manipulation and money laundering.

On that spectrum, my thought is more towards that education should be available to all, but also that the economics we live under doesn't have a process to distribute sufficient goods widely enough such that people have strong practical independence.

It's not that some entities cannot have more than others, it's that we have entire classes where their first order needs (food, shelter, clothing) aren't met despite being willing to work and working, let alone their second order needs (enough margin of profit for emergency funding, healthcare, means to acquire skills initially or skills in different areas, etc), or even third order needs (a broad means to form new ventures addressing what is locally perceived as important). If those areas are met and within a stable system, then I think it's fine that some entities have more wealth - but too much imbalance imho causes systemic instability.

"All UBI does"

UBI is a very specific solution to a very real and difficult problem. I think other solutions to the problem of quick technical advances would be better, that's all. The sequence is , you are given a resource for a period of time, see if you can use it well, if you do you get to keep it. Not sure what a good modern equivalent would be but such a scheme seems like a much better mode to the future than a UBI. Or maybe a combination of things.
This meme is staler than McDonald's coffee. The temperature of McDonalds coffee is comparable to the temperature of Starbucks coffee, and always has been.

>In 1994, a spokesman for the National Coffee Association said that the temperature of McDonald's coffee conformed to industry standards.[2] An "admittedly unscientific" survey by the LA Times that year found that coffee was served between 157 and 182 °F (69 and 83 °C), and that two coffee outlets tested, one Burger King and one Starbucks, served hotter coffee than McDonald's.[32]

>Since Liebeck, McDonald's has not reduced the service temperature of its coffee. McDonald's policy today[when?] is to serve coffee at 176–194 °F (80–90 °C),[33] relying on more sternly worded warnings on cups made of rigid foam to avoid future liability, though it continues to face lawsuits over hot coffee.[33][34] The Specialty Coffee Association of America supports improved packaging methods rather than lowering the temperature at which coffee is served. The association has successfully aided the defense of subsequent coffee burn cases.[35] Similarly, as of 2004, Starbucks sells coffee at 175–185 °F (79–85 °C), and the executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America reported that the standard serving temperature is 160–185 °F (71–85 °C).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restau...

The temperature of the coffee in that case was not the real issue. The real issue was the flimsy cup design that was prone to collapsing in on itself (as well as a plaintiff who was easy to sympathize with and a defendant who was impossible to sympathize with.)
I had a lot of problems making Japanese text on ichi.moe display correctly. I'm using lang="ja" instead of lang="ja-jp" though, it seems to work and is shorter. The main problem with Japanese characters displayed in Chinese font (which happens when lang property is not set explicitly) is that some characters are barely recognizable as the same character. Compare 誤 in a Chinese font and a Japanese font. [1] Yep, this is the same character according to Unicode. Imagine if Latin letter g, Cyrillic г and Greek 𝛾 had the same Unicode codepoint.
