A UBI doesn't create money, it transfers it. It's a generic safety net that provides a floor for how low income can go, so that nobody involuntarily goes without food or medicine but you also don't need the government providing services itself or ordering people to spend the money in a particular way.

> Injecting more money into a system without tying it to injecting more goods and services into the system is a known means to fuel inflation.

Right now people are paying for things on credit. If you give them the money instead of requiring them to borrow it, the only difference is that they don't have to pay interest.

But it could cause inflation in specific assets if the stuff the net recipients buy is different than the stuff the net payers would have bought -- which would be amazing. We're currently having a huge problem with central banks not being able to hit their inflation targets even at historically low interest rates. If we had something that could bring inflation up to traditional levels it would be a boon, since it would allow nominal wages to rise which is badly needed since everyone is currently saddled with unprecedented levels of mortgage, student loan and credit card debt and anything that could devalue the debt would be a major benefit.
The lectures I'm thinking of are literally 360p videos of a guy and a whiteboard, with no notes or legible writing IIRC.

And also, the tolerances in Synthesizers are actually fairly small and idiomatic synths use quite a few relatively obscure parts i.e. How many introductory electronics books discuss OTAs in any detail( for a slightly terrible example)?

I already know, however it's not easy to find out in one resource: The application for music is sufficiently obscure (Analog synths require much more coaxing than (say) a guitar amp) to warrant dedicated discussion.

Thanks. As time permits I will plan to look at what you've said. I'd like to balance that with my desire for an "outline" so I can have large amounts of easily-navigable info without creating huge pages.

I see what you mean about the text file: I just haven't evolved it into a web page yet, so I can shorten the lines easily enough, but not sure how to integrate it best into my organizer software beyond that.

One idea is that, I can export content with the software into single-page (text) outlines of selected subsets of the content, showing the outline structure with indentation (just using white-space for indentation, like org-mode, only farther in, currently 6 space characters per level) or 1.1, 1.1.1, 2.1.3 -style numbering with some indentation, down to N levels at a time. Perhaps sometime I could automate linking pages to/from such text outlines (they are 80-columns by default), when I generate the site. At selected places, or through out. Hmm.

If I drop off here for a while or you want to continue conversation later, feel to email per the bottom of each page.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Edit: Another way to put the problem is this: I have enough content, with much more probably to come, that I want to make it useful while avoiding the whole "TL/DR" syncrome for someone who would only want to read some. And let them easily choose which "some", while skimming or skipping others, thus my thinking in terms of outline-like structure. I hope that makes sense.

In germany consistently working for a company like Uber as part of "gig" would likely fall under "fake self-employed", so Uber would have to offer you an employment contract and you'd pay half of the 15%, so about 8%, which falls on the lower end of your premium caps. You'd also gain accident insurance and other privileges or protections.
In what way is the last one a matter of making it 'look nicer'? Either there is a bijection between these or there isn't - that seems like a concrete thing that's not a choice of terminology or aesthetics.
> The “math looks nicer” argument [...] is, for example, the `reason' [...] there are as many integers as rationals.

I'm curious what you mean here: The integers and rationals have quite different algebraic and geometric properties, and the fact that they have the same cardinality has always struck me as a deep result, rather than just a matter of definitions.

Because people compare and if someone is doing a lot morr than everyone else it makes everyone look bad.

Why? Because the mba will see a metric elevated and use that to define a norm. Now they only want to hire 10x performers. They don't know how to find them so they invent this complex hiring process that filters out so many good candidates they have no chance of ever finding that 10x developer. They settle on the fake 10x who speaks well and presents all of the right signals. The dev comes in and struggles and blames the code/past developer/way something is done and claims a rewrite is needed in a new and trendy language. This prompts a huge rewrite that takes place over a year at the end of which its determined that nothing works and that project gets cancelled. By this point that developer has been promoted to your manager.

Sure, we can probably find a way to map two similar chunks to two similar vectors. However, with 1:1 mapping the resulting vectors will be just as unique. That's a problem, because, if you recall, we want to predict the next unit of music based on the units the model has seen so far. Training a model for this task requires showing it sequences of encoded units of music (vectors), where we must have many examples of how a particular vector follows a combination of particular vectors. If most of our vectors are unique, we won't have enough examples to train the model. For example, showing the model multiple examples of a phrase "I'm going to [some verb]", it will eventually learn that "to" after "I'm going" is quite likely, that a verb is more likely after "to" than an adjective, etc. This wouldn't have happened if the model saw 'going' or 'to' only once during training.

I think neocities.org is closer to what you describe in your first paragraph (and is also ad free and clean).
It's the second time I mention Fred Brooks on HN today, but he dedicates a chapter in Mythical Man-Month that agrees with the assertion of the article:

> Much as a surgical team during surgery is led by one surgeon performing the most critical work, while directing the team to assist with less critical parts, it seems reasonable to have a "good" programmer develop critical system components while the rest of a team provides what is needed at the right time.

Other team members perform other tasks, and some of those even administrative (!), but all of them supporting the "vision" of the surgeon.

IMO this is a healthier way of communicating roles, avoiding fights and training juniors. It's better than the "everyone is replaceable" mindset companies have this day.
You don't see population shrinkage as necessarily bad, well I don't think population growth as necessarily bad. Overall in the modern West theres been a lot more propaganda against the latter. Risky business really, because I get the feeling decline is going to be a lot harder to combat than growth.

Its not really a matter of size as it is of quality. I personally wouldn't mind a lot more genius rocket scientist supermodels being born. Our best chance to stave off extinction is not to bury our heads in the sand and hope we last on this one rock but to expand. Growth is not in itself the evil, limited resources is and that is what should be tackled. If humanity had limited itself to the size that some people think is sensible from the very beginning you wouldn't be enjoying the comforts like your room and fancy computer that you are now.

As someone with a predominantly visual/spatial way of thinking, programming has been a really tough skill to develop because, like math, it's often taught in the symbolic/linguistic manner. Only very recently, since using illustrator to diagram ideas, I am finally making progress on my (not assigned) projects. This seems like such an easy thing to do for most others in this space, but since instruction hasn't offered me the most apt thought patterns to program, have had to come up with my own.
Free room-scale climbing experience in Virtual Reality
Maybe I've just been unfortunate/fortunate, but in 6 years as a software developer on all kinds of projects, I've never once worked on a project where even two people share the major contributions to a single repo. Either I run away with one part of the project or someone else does while I work on some other part. Usually split between frontend/backend/devops (webstuff) or app/libraries/tooling. We obviously plan and discuss how the different parts of the projects work together, and we do make contributions to the other repos, but these are usually minor.

I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing. It just feels the most natural, reduces friction and the need to communicate minute details.
Ownership is also important. The downside of this is that some part of the project might fall apart if someone leaves, because no one else can take over.

If you give them the money instead of requiring them to borrow it

You are probably talking about the government borrowing it instead of individuals. This tends to not end well.

The money has to come from somewhere. If it isn't tied to creating new goods and services, then either you are basically printing more or taxing someone for it. Wealth transfer schemes are inevitably unpopular and tend to not work well. Schemes to "soak the rich" tend to get push back from the rich, who generally are in a better than average position to resist being victimized by the system.
That's 95% of the work of a project manager. That was at least, until some charlatans realized that you can make big bucks persuading people that not doing your job is a great way of doing your job.
I agree with your points, but can you link to the specific comments on this HN post that you think were made as disingenuous criticisms? I read through all the comments just now, and none of them seem to have any degree of antagonism or unfairness at all, not even the ones that (quite respectfully & dispassionately) ask to know how it is different than possible alternatives (and the 1mb creator does a nice job replying to them too).

The comments here all look quite reasonable & polite. Maybe I am missing something? I can’t see any comment that warrants you to have posted this here (though, again, I agree with all your points).
The top comment is especially relevant: "This is more about the technical competency of a specific company than general technical issues. Or, to put it bluntly, it's more "Mixpanel sucks at Erlang" than "Erlang sucks". Don't get me wrong, I'd be really, really interested in a good analysis why in this case Erlang was the wrong choice, but this article didn't even get close to anything technically interesting"

Or just tell Siri to “call my wife/mom/son” or “redial last number” to start figuring out who the person is.

> Gig workers choose to take up a gig job in alternative to starvation

Would like to see a source on the claim that Uber drivers' only alternative is starvation. Uber has been founded in 2009, I am old enough not to remember mass starvation anywhere in the US before that. I am also vaguely aware of something called welfare state in the US that collects massive taxes exactly to prevent people from starvation (among other things), and I don't remember - before 2009 - any claims that this system has failed so much that people are suffering starvation in the US on the massive scale, or were until Uber came along to rescue us.

Moreover, to work for Uber, you must have a car (and a driver's license). Not just any junker clunker car barely moving around - a relatively nice car that a passenger would be fine with sitting it. Usually people literally starving do not have those, I think. In most cases.

My personal experience with Uber drivers (and other gig workers, like TaskRabbit or Fiverr) also does not match the description that they were starving before they had this job. Of course, this is only a personal anecdote, so I would very much like to see your source to that claim. Though I suspect you do not have one.
They had six government, now they want seven government. It's always good to have spare government in case one of them breaks.
Why is it called 1MB? Is it a reference to the maximum storage you get? It'd be interesting for size optimized sites.

> but that you can't accidentally stumble onto it?

Because even on a platform like reddit, these aren't front-page items nor anything that will casually be brought to attention. If you want to share piece of shit ideology, you have to find piece of shit subs, and they're micro communities.

The reason I think the proximity in that instance helps is users are more likely to interact with users from other popular subs. I've seen racists spring up odd places, get downvoted into oblivion, but will engage in argument. In my view it's more important that they engage with the rest of the population.
I mentioned Chris Bucchere in several other posts.

You and the poster above you also miss the point: Drivers cause much more harm than cyclists in total, yet drivers speeding is deemed much more acceptable than cyclists running red lights.

I don't doubt that cyclists can harm pedestrians or others, and I don't believe that cyclists breaking the law is acceptable. Just that when cyclists break the law the amount of potential damage is much more limited than when drivers do.
Congrats!

He wasn't arguing that the investor were going to make money out of it. He was arguing that as a dispatcher, they can be more efficient than the current dispatcher, thus can make money.
In general I don't like the approach of remote employers basing compensation off of the employees cost of living.

What happens at gitlab if you start off in SF then move to another city? You're a remote employee and are free to work wherever... Do they then demote your pay to reflect the new city or did you just game the system?

What about the opposite case, a worker in India at gitlab moving to SF did they just lose a lot of money?

In general this cost of living approach to remote employment is a cop out to pay lower salaries and save money. Zapier offers bay area salaries to all remote employees and gitlab discriminates... Which would you want to work for?

I agree, but I face and overcome these issues every day via browser plugins, not installing sketchy apps, and not going to sites locked behind reCaptcha.

Again, my point isn't that it's easy, my point is that it's possible, therefore, we have hope of someday making it easy. As a society we haven't even tried yet, only some fringe people donating their time, so perhaps we should support them instead of or in addition to clamoring for regulation.
In pathological orgs yes, they do exist but shouldn’t be a goal.
2/3 of Uber drivers only do it part time, so the median isn’t a useful data point if you’re talking about health insurance. The $36,00 figure is for full time. Regardless, if someone makes less than that driving Uber, their ACA premiums are correspondingly lower. And if they make really little, they are eligible for Medicaid in many states.
Did we have large international competition in those days?

Precisely this! 1MB is perfect for a small "hosting" company putting other small companies online, e.g. John's bakery. A git deploy functionality would drastically improve automation to manage websites. I know the provided cli can do it, but it's a other thing to integrate.
We never had to use it, thankfully.

Our experiment (like the XENON experiments) used liquid xenon. The boiling point is roughly -110 °C, so it requires cooling to stay liquid. If that cooling had failed, the xenon would have started to boil and turn to gas. Gaseous xenon takes up something like 300x more volume than liquid.

So we had a few things to deal with this. We had some pretty giant UPSes to provide backup power. Imagine a shipping container filled with lead acid batteries. That was enough to keep the cooling running for about a day. During that time, we would start recovering the xenon. That would involve running compressors to stuff it back into bottles before power ran out. We also had a limited ability to cryopump the xenon out. Cryopumping involves cooling a gas cylinder (usually with liquid nitrogen) so the gas condenses inside. But that was always limited by the amount of LN we had on hand, which wasn't much.

But suppose we couldn't get all the xenon back into the cylinders before power ran out, or if our compressors failed. First, our detector would have failed. It was made of thin copper to reduce radioactivity. The xenon would have mixed with the HFE (Novec) fluid we were using for coiling. After that, as the xenon continued to boil, it would have burst some burst disks built into the system. And those were connected to the balloon.

The "balloon" was some plastic material, about 10x10x20 meters that we had stashed in an alcove off to the side of our experiment. It would have hopefully contained the xenon.

Since we never had to use it, I'm not completely sure what the process would have been. We would have shipped it off to some industrial gas facility, and they have the equipment to distill it out. And then we'd probably have to spend more time purifying it ourselves.

I doubt such a thing has ever been used. Most experiments, even underground ones, weren't dealing with the constraints we were. The mine we were in wasn't dedicated to science, and a dedicated facility would have had better support. For example, we couldn't run generators to deal with a power failure because there were limits to how much diesel equipment could be running underground with only natural ventilation, and the ventilation fans didn't have backups. Likewise, a dedicated facility would have had a better supply of liquid nitrogen. We only had one portable dewar, rather than a large tank.

Nice project! Your 3D printed case for the stereo pair removes a lot of potentially useful information for the feature extraction algorithm. If it can help, I have an old project where we mounted a realsense (R300 if I remember well) on Hololens.

Hoping that it's one of those things that will soon be in every phone. Like modems.
Great point -- that's why I put the "almost" in "almost all". Nothing you change on your own device prevents other people giving information about you. On the other hand, if we move toward a world where being secure and protective of one's own data is the technological default, I expect we would see a lot less of things like "give Facebook access to my contact list".
Audible (audiobooks generally, but generally just Audible) is my primary form of long-form media consumption. I don't watch TV, I don't watch movies, I don't listen to very much music. I probably consume 100-150 Audible books per year, on top of another ~50 Kindle books, and 20-30 pdf/paper books.

With promos and everything else, my average cost per Audible book is about $5. I guess I spend about $1k/yr on books, maybe a little more. Some people spend about that much for cable tv. I feel like I get a lot more value out of books.

As the article says, one could consider this a matter of definition. The definition of choice for me (and some other category theorists?) is that the prime numbers are the second row in the devisibility lattice. (That is, n < m iff n | m.)

Then, the number 1 is the single element of the first row and all the prime numbers are the atoms immediately above 1.
