Abolish billionaires. Okay, and then what? These ideas never seem to consider what the next steps are. Wealth and inequality will always exist no matter how hard you try to eradicate it. It is fortunately or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint, a fundamental part of the human condition.

The only viable stable long-term solution is focusing on uplifting the masses from the bottom up such that, even the poorest classes of people can have a basic standard of living. This of course entails some kind of universal basic income, which will definitely be difficult to achieve, but it is far more realistically achievable than just "abolishing billionaires". Violent and angry rhetoric like that may feel good and be great for garnering support, but is a road that leads ultimately to ruin.

"there is no way to reverse this process and access addresses of the original devices"

That doesn't mean you can't abuse this data! If you know a MAC addresses (say of your ex-spouse's cellphone) and the algorithm you can calculate the hash and then use that hash to track their phone.
Has Anyone Used ShareTribe to Build a Marketplace?
I would just think of it as an implementation snag in the hiring process, and don't take it personally at all -- the company is just trying to do their best to get the best candidate, and maybe the one they tried to hire over you simply looks better on paper or some other minor reason. The fact that they came back to you means you were a close second and they know they'd be happy with either of you.

Use it as leverage / bargaining / option just like you would any other offer that is in hand or coming, and as far as your decision / communication you can proceed as if the rejection never happened.

Detail: I am currently interviewing and considering offers, and was rejected by one company in a similar manner -- if they did what your company did, I would follow the advice I gave :-]
In the 1980s we needed to do something about Carbon production. Where they knew that otherwise it will be too late by 2000. Now it's year 2019 we are 30-40 years late already. Climate Change is going to happen the only question is now how much and looking at the way countries and world leaders are reacting it's too little to late most of us below the age of 50 are going to see it first hand.
This is a very stupid idea that will no doubt get a lot of attention for the author by people who will explain in great detail how stupid it is. I wonder if that was the intent?

There is zero chance of this ever happening. It is not worth the time to read about it.

Edit: Seriously, this is populist clickbait drivel the Times is running so the broke millennial demographic can drool over revenge fantasies of smashing the bourgeoisie while the Times and their cadre of surveillance partners figure out how to get them to buy a Lexus. Ignore it.
The thing about Linq efficiency is that under the hood it’s setting up a state machine with enumerators and continuations to be fully general. It’s about as fully-optimized as it could possibly be given the design constraints, but it will always be less efficient than just iterating over a collection directly.

But the worst performance hits in Linq come when people don’t know how to use it. The biggest culprit is unnecessary materializations, e.g. ToList() or anything that requires traversing the entire enumerator like All(), so if you’re careful to avoid the obvious pitfalls you should be fine.
Please never use tinypic again. For whatever interesting reason and with 100% repro in one particular instance of Firefox on my phone (suggesting that browser's fingerprint is triggering an ad network to serve a malicious ad), tinypic or an ad network on the site currently rewires the back button (in this case the back key in Android) to a nasty series of redirects ultimately culminating in one last one which Firefox successfully interrupted.

With a lot of those $1.5M homes, a large LARGE portion of the value is the land/location, not so much the physical structure too. You gotta price that in for these types of "great deal" homes.
It’s a trust issue. Until we have a proper reckoning about privacy in the US, much of the trust in software is predicated on ignorance. There’s minimal outrage because people don’t know that the app is recording their every swipe and typed word (even if deleted before sending a la Facebook).

Nope, contact info is hidden. Never authed with another app or service. The idea of super cookies doesn't play either, I only use Facebook in a separate browser that doesn't get used for anything else, and these days it only gets used in Firefox using the Facebook container. I've always treated Facebook like the plague and never let it come close to my normal activities. I went to great lengths to not let them figure out who I was, other than the graph info they have on my friends.
The general point that I disagree with is the premise that there can be no such thing as a private conversation.

Do you want a police state? Because secret surveillance of all citizens is how you end up with a police state.
"'Sad reality': Handful of WA measles outbreak sites are in Russian-speaking communities"
https://komonews.com/news/local/sad-reality-handful-of-wa-me...
I know a few people who became very wealthy by starting companies or businesses but entrepreneurship is not the only path to success.

IMO, the world is better off with a good mix of long shot bets to build large scale businesses and also many people being very happy to run solo or small businesses providing services or selling products on a small scale.

I am sometimes critical of Google, FB, Microsoft, and Amazon - sometimes they deserve criticism - but except for FB all of these companies also enrich my life and I am happy they are in business.

I am also happy personally to have been a consultant, very well paid wage slave for large companies, and have a small business as an author and sometimes selling niche AI software products. I never got very rich, but I have usually just worked 25 to 32 hours a week, with several times in my life taking many years of mostly leisure time.

There are many ways to be successful in life - choose wisely!
You may be right, but I don't think you could have made a less persuasive argument.
But why would "breaching" 1.5C in a single year, due to random variability, be of any particular significance?

Note that we're talking about _global average_ temperature, which doesn't translate into anything much for the local temperature in any spot you might be concerned about.

Note also that we may well have been breaching 1.5C now and then for millennia, due to random variability. (Well, also because global temperatures back about 7000 years ago may have been generally higher than today.)

Under current Democratic party norms: yes.
I haven't
In a just society the only way you can get rich is through voluntary interaction by adding value to world. In our society you can get rich through legislation, which has created the wealthy parasitic class that earns a living by preventing competition.

To target all the rich is to loot and destroy your society. To target the wealthy parasitic class would be a revolution frankly.
Well I get that in this situation it's possibly not.

That can be non-obvious, so fair. We (graphistry) get pulled into a lot of investigative scenarios -- account takeover (web logs), malware/phishing analysis (host/network logs & feeds), AML, claims fraud, etc. I found the problems being solved to be some combination of: awkward to express with SQL, too slow to run in a RDBMS, or hard to visually explore relationships/correlations.

Examples:

=== Shortest Paths

1a. Referral: "Who on our team connected to which leadership at Apple?"

(target:Company[name="Apple"])<-[_:Leadership]--(champion)--[]-->(us:Company[name="myCompany"])

1b. Supply Chain, AML, entanglements...: "How are these companies related, even if 5 companies away, and across all sorts of relationship types?"

(a:Company[name="a16z"])-[r:1..3]-(b:Company[name="juicero"])

=== Neighborhood (incl. multi-hop):

2a: 360 context on a security/fraud/ops incident:

(hacked:Computer[ip="10.10.0.0"])-[e:Alert]-(metadata:)

+ (hacked:Computer[ip="10.10.0.0"])-[Login]->(u:User)-[e:Alert]-(metadata:)

2b: fraud rings:

(fraudster:clientIP)-[login:http]-(b:Fingerprint)

+ (fraudster:clientIP)-[x:http[method="POST"]]-(p:Page)

2c: Journeys (customer, patient, ...)

(a:Patient[id=123]-[e:1..2]->(b:)

=== Whole system optimization / compute:

Personalized pagerank, supplychain optimization, business process mining, ...

===

The above can be extended, such as by adding in compute (correlation, influence scores, ...). That feds into viz / recommendations / decision making.

or: Not all uses of graph are end-to-end. We often get used with a graph db to improve understanding it (our viz scale 100-1000X over the tools here via GPUs)... but folks may instead plug their graphdb into a tabular frontend. Or use us with a tabular system like Splunk/Spark/Elastic. So the above can be hard to write in Splunk/SQL, or slow to run, or hard to visually understand.

Solution is simple. The more money you have, the greater is your responsibility towards others (beings and nature).

Taking things out by force (from anyone and anything) is never a solution, because everything is relative in this world, including your wealth.
What do you mean by your last sentence? How does PG 11 help?
No, not in the least. But you do then question the context which allows a few to accumulate so much wealth while simultaneously observing a significant proportion of the population with stagnant levels of wealth.

No you are not a bad person.

If you knew for a fact that you would never make more than $100million no matter how successful it was would you still try to start a business?
Personally, I don't go so far as to advocate abolishing billionaires, but I do favor a very high tax bracket like 80 or 90 percent to fund basic redistribution. This would not abolish billionaires, but would make it harder to become a dollar billionaire.

When asked why he robbed banks, Willie Sutton answered: "Because that's where the money is."
I doubt anyone who doesn't immediately dismiss this as nonsense is capable of being persuaded by any kind of rational argument.
Of course not. Is the owner of a monopolistic company a bad person? No. Is it good for society to allow a company to become a monopoly? No.
Also you can't employ any Australians, because they are all covert government spies now.

I think the only reason the conspiracy can exist is because of the effectiveness of vaccines - we don't routinely see or know people with the disease anymore.

I read that in poorer countries where vaccines are hard to get and the disease is still common people will travel far distances to get to clinics in order to vaccinate their children.
Do you feel the same about communists, an objectively more reprehensible group than German National Socialists as proven in the 20th and 21st centuries, or was your school-age propaganda highly effective into unquestionably hating the one while generally tolerating the other?

(Psst, question your reality.)
Well, at least you understand that you’re robbing someone.
Nope, this kinda thing should be limited to opt-in beta testing.
The same applies to web applications. Fullstory (developed by ex Googlers) and others are in this market too, but I don’t see them monetizing what they get to parties outside of charging the app maker.
I mean i was being in tongue in cheek, but it really seems like a "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" kind of situation.
LINQ isn't really inefficient as such -- that's not really how I would put it. When used correctly, the performance is pretty good and it buys you elegance and a massive amount of expressive power with relatively little performance tradeoff. I use LINQ everywhere in my code and the maintainability gains are palpable.

It does have overhead, but it shouldn't be avoided for that reason unless you're really trying to squeeze performance gains out of your code. Eric Lippert, the designer of LINQ, has this to say [1].

The same could be said about allowing poor people to seek treatment from unlicensed medical practitioners "If we don't give them our substandard medical care, they'll get it from underground providers that will be even worse".

Or let them be served by an unregulated transportation providers "Well yeah, our buses aren't safe, some of our drivers have suspended licenses, but if they don't ride with us, they'll ride with someone worse".

Just because there are worse alternatives is no reason for the government to sanction exploitative businesses.
I am on the side of the post 1960s consensus in the US. Corporations which serve the public must continue to serve the public, without arbitrary tyrannies on things like political beliefs or sexual practices, or face civil rights lawsuits. If you can make a christian baker bake you a gay cake, you can make Patreon work with ... pretty much anyone. That's what we've been doing post civil rights and post legalization of pornography. Seemed fine with most people!

If you want a might makes right world, which, whether you're capable of understanding it or not, is what you're advocating for, you should at least figure out which side has the guns and tanks. Pretty sure it ain't Patreon censors!

I’ve heard that a 5 month old child can be vaccinated (it’s just not standard practice) so in a situation where there are serious concerns about infection you are not without options.
As an Australian, I dearly hope all international companies actually do this.

We are a testing ground for this insanity, the time to fight it is now.

Australian citizens did not ask for this. All the "consultation" letters were ignored in favour of creating a police state.
As I was reading, I started thinking, “What if all insurance plans budgeted 45 minutes for a Primary Care Provider visit instead of 15?”

(To be clear, I don’t know if ‘15 minutes’ is hard-codes anywhere, I just know that most appointments I’ve gone to are budgeted that much time.)

I say this, because of the multiple mentions of doctors spending multiple hours talking with patients.

If there was more time budgeted for PCP visits, then there would be time to have these conversations, and maybe address issues (real or perceived) before bad things happen.

The argument in favor of this generally goes: if there wasn't a government lottery, there would be privately-run lotteries, and attempts to ban lotteries would just push them into the hands of organized crime. At least a government-run lottery will publish honest odds and pay out to winners, which private/criminal lotteries would less reliably do, and that minimizes the harm done by the lottery.

You can apply basically this argument to similar things which the government doesn't do and people typically don't support (like running casinos or selling drugs), though.

> The incentives are pathologically perverse.

Yes, and that's a higher-up leadership problem. A military unit's primary purpose is to fight, not to do paperwork. The captain of a ship is supposed to understand that, so he can make the right tradeoffs when he has to, and the higher-up leaders over him are supposed to as well, so they can make sure they incentivize ship captains properly.
It's not a good use of a doctor's time to educate the public about how vaccines work. That is high school biology stuff. And if you didn't learn it in high school, visit the CDC website or watch a Khan Academy video or just try getting your information from somewhere outside an uneducated person's Facebook page.

Seems like Elon Musk is a "good" billionaire for instance. The people who want to get rid of billionaires don't seem very well informed and use it as some kind of catch-all to explain where all their issues come from. It's very much disconnected from reality.
The existence of billionaires is about distribution of agency. Right now agency is distributed in an extreme and convoluted way. How can you have universal basic income without fixing the other end of the spectrum? The power to invest resources, to effect meaningful material change in our world, is being concentrated in the hands of very few.
How can someone go through a cs degree and not be able to code?
AFAIK, this is true at Google but I have not heard of this practice occurring at other companies.
I feel this abolish billionaires movement needs some tweaking.

History has many examples of people changing the world for the better and getting filthy rich doing so. If we start wealth taxing these people to limit their resources you are limiting their ability to push boundaries and hopefully advance society.

Where I feel the issue sits is with dynastic wealth. Just because grandpa did something, great grandchildren 10 generations on shouldnt be expected it's their right to be sitting on massive trusts of assets.

And I think this limits society if we let capital accumulate for a bunch of reasons but mainly 1) we become a divided society with little social mobility, 2)we lose innovation as people sit on assets and industries reduce competition. And poor people don't have the access to time or resource to innovate themself and 3) most importantly if we let small groups of elites run the country they stop caring about services that matter to most people. Things like schools and hospitals become cost lines to be reduced because they or their kids will never use the public system so that increasing teacher ratio, or longer waiting lists become less meaningful.

> Home cooked fruits and veggies end up getting a lot more expensive when you factor in frequency of shopping needed to maintain a stock and time required to cook.

What sort of meals are you comparing? To cook a steak, sausages, bacon and eggs and things like that can take more time than cutting up some vegies and making a basic salad. A lot of veggies like beans and lentins can be stored dried, their shelf life is infinitely longer than meat and bread.

> I applaud everyone who manages to cook every day and I strive to do so

It sounds like your comparing cooking to takeaway/frozen rather than comparing cooking veggies to other food.

The rich should be the ones who are the most concerned with runaway wealth inequality, because the historical endpoint of that line usually isn't pretty for anyone. (But can be especially bad for the rich)

I’m in the same boat. Facebook has certainly (let’s say 85%, I’m open to another explanation) connected my Facebook account to an email address that I’ve never given them and sent ads to me based on companies giving them that other email address.
Since most governments are also billionaires, maybe we could abolish them too.
I think they upload the hashes of emails they have, and facebook matches it with the hashes of the emails it has.
Carnegie wrote about this 100 years ago in the Gospel of wealth and that’s why we had estate taxes and a high top marginal tax rate.
This. Letting the user annotate it is better then enforcing a behavior that is adequate in some scenarios but awkward in others. For gamedev for example, generating copies at game loop is only acceptable for small objects like Vectors and if they're allocated in the stack for example. Even if the compiler optimizes it, it is better to express the intent clearly in the code.
Just anecdata, but I work on business software and a lot of effort is spent by UX and Engineering addressing color blindness / visual impairment.
