You aren't addressing the crux of her argument.

"Smith underestimated economies of scale. His butcher is now working the night shift on the line in an industrial meatpacking plant." The key point being that early theoreticians of the free market were motivated by humanistic impulses, but failed to understand how large and powerful corporations could become, relative to the bargaining power of the individual.

When you talk about the cost of switching jobs, and how you will be actively recruited to your next one, you are talking from the perspective of a minority at the apex of the industrial food chain who has that kind of labor power.

The economies of scale in the global economy are such that an entire industry can and will pull itself out of a large region because the labor is cheaper and the laws are friendlier in another region. The bargaining power of the individual is negligible in such a circumstance, and alternative work is hard to come by, or is impoverishing. While third world countries are in truly terrible plights due to this kind of situation, large portions of the United States are subject to the same forces. While, to your point, the workers in those areas are not subject to actual physical coercion, the effects (drug abuse, suicide) show that the spiritual suffering is quite there and quite effective.
Not only that. The only reason the selected families moved to the better neighborhood is because a team of experts were paid to intervene on their behalf.

Unless such families make the effort to change their circumstance and save enough to move to the preferable area, programs like this one rob them of their free will.

I don't understand why advocates of progressive programs like this seem to always miss this crucial point. Real, lasting change only comes when people make conscious decisions to improve their lives with no external input whatsoever handed to them. Anything else is anti-competitive and subject to regulatory capture.
How to Plan a Team Retreat for Your Remote Company
It's not surprising that for brains evolved to deal with a physical world, physical controls feel more natural.

You can add all the haptic and UI flair you want in, but it's not going to make my nerves tingle in the way my brain expects.
2000 minutes -free- on macOS is unheard of. Is there any other providers do anything like that? Finally I can run my iOS Unit Tests for free without a farm of on-prem Macs!
I wonder if the shire wants to save money by purchasing properties in lower-cost areas.
That's nonsense: you have to look at the whole economy as an ecology of different waste streams.

The $X money you saved on non-disposable goods would instead be $Y spent on consumable goods (e.g. some wine or steak - both near 100% "pollution") or $Z spend on services (e.g. travel - near 100% pollution too) or other permanent goods $U (an expensive jacket that could last 300 years except it got thrown out because it looks ugly and smells of Uncle Jack).

If you want to save the world, you need to directly do something that saves it e.g. protect some native forest, or buy some farm land and let it revert to wilderness.

Anything else where you are participating in the economy is virtually guaranteed to have a high degree of waste (buy some eco-friendly meat, but 50% is retail markup, and the the hippy producer uses the money on a "wasteful" overseas holiday).

Very few people calculate the total ecological footprint of their actions: e.g. buying an electric car can easily be far worse for the planet (depending on cost, location, usage, and other factors).
> So successful products optimise for the UX of a user who doesn't yet know how to use the product well. And such users really love touchscreens.

I think the problem is that touchscreens get ported to applications where there should be a reasonable expectation that the end user is an expert in the system. For example, cars, and aircraft. Touchscreens are great when you have portable systems that have to condense a lot of functionality into a small device, but I don't want to be in a position where a pilot has to touch the correct button on a touchscreen in the middle of serious turbulence. Likewise, no driver should be taking their eyes off the road to navigate to the air-conditioning tab. Applying touchscreens in these situations is not only bad engineering, it's outright dangerous. You have to demonstrate competent control of a vehicle just to operate it, so we shouldn't be assuming operators are brand new users that aren't committed to the product.
Why do you think "human" is the focus instead of "intelligent"?

Maybe we were biologically evolved totally and completely differently from our creators outside of how we generally exhibit consciousness.

In a sense, we could eventually even be exported into that primary universe as immortal alien life in biological or mechanical form to physically populate and interact with other species.

Perhaps one of those variables tweaked between this universe and the parent one is just how empty our universe is. Running the same sort of simulation and bringing other species to life among whom we peacefully coexist could be the "win condition" for this simulation, demonstrating we are finally safe for re-introduction with a parent simulation.

In general, better understanding our simulation would be a smart idea to try and understand what if any win conditions exist.
This is really dope, I love the aesthetic. The varied style of each page is rather appealing to me, in a way I think it reminds me of combing through something like textfiles.com or archive.org, you don't know what to expect next and that's exciting.
I remember even in the 90s realizing that the registry was a bad idea. Instead each app should have had its own executable/settings/data folder. I don't understand why they didn't add this.

My bad. At the time I thought the statement was somewhat more innocuous than how it apparently came across.
The decision makers in UI design often design for "someone ripped from plow by grenade", as the saying goes in Poland - someone who has no idea about the product at all. Others tend to follow this.

All of that results in undiscoverable interfaces designed for first-time users and horrible for everything else, and thus cult of first mouse, now touchscreen.
That's because the bottom 50% of the country own almost nothing. They rent and have debts. The net worth of the entire bottom quintile is negative -- if you have a dollar in your pocket you don't owe to someone then you have more wealth than the bottom 20% of the country.

It's an interesting thought. You'd want to use a full bandwidth data channel (e.g. Bluetooth) for anything complicated.

But for simple things, if possible without affecting the other parts of the screen, it'd be amazing to have a broadly supported, low bandwidth standard.

Yep, any number of other controls besides knobs would work under the same basic principle. A linear slider control would be an obvious one, as would calculator-style membrane buttons.

I'd be surprised if the concept weren't already patented, though, just because the idea of a generalized capacitive control surface seems fairly obvious, and the patent office doesn't really apply an "obviousness" test. What definitely surprises me is that, patented or not, I can't just go out and buy these sorts of controls.
Lean, Evergreen and Sensible
Aviation tends to multiple-function displays with somewhat common controls used for them. Started with softkeys around the screens, on recent A350 you have two keyboard/mouse sets for both pilots, plus extra buttons, and a bit complex setup of which screens can display what.

No touchscreens for in-flight, though, although iPads became common as replacement for paper charts.
Working out with a heavy bag, gloves to start, later just wraps, is what helped me the most.
Point of fact: it's not the GDPR, per se, that causes companies to hand over personal information to duplicitous individuals. It's those companies poor verification and security practices.

The GDPR does create a new attack surface, in that companies now have a legal obligation to provide information. The article did not say whether or not there is a legal obligation to properly verify the identity of the requestor.

This is a great idea.

Or make monitors have a USB device profile, or just use the serial profile and have a command response protocol (http rest) for query and setting configuration. Standardize this protocol.

Now all displays could be configured using external standardized logic. I'd prefer something over SPI, but either is really ok.
You left off public school rankings. Which are tied to the areas income (well educated parents have the time, income, and genetics to produce high achieving kids). Which drives up home prices. And the cycle reinforces itself to some extent.

Too many Section 8 residents will hurt school scores, which hurts home values, which hurts school scores, ...

I have no idea how many it would take to impact values in such a way. But, the school board meetings I’ve attended show that if nothing else, wealthy parents are fiercely protective of their school districts.
Keep in mind you may well be in a beneficial tutorial simulation for newly constructed consciousnesses.

Might not be wise to try and skip this level.

One idea is that if we are AIs capable of manifesting anything we imagine as reality, that could go WAY out of control for most of us (try dropping too much of a psychedelic). So starting us off in an environment controlled by a 3rd party would help us get our "infinite consciousness" legs before continuing on to the next level.

We can't CHANGE our reality, but we can totally change how we feel/think about that reality.

Kind of like Episode IV Jedi vs later. In Ep IV, they never actually change the physical reality around them. Just change how other people think about that reality, and how they think about themselves (Luke mentions he hit targets that size all the time, just not under pressure - all he really ends up doing is believing he can hit it and then achieving that).

So probably not lifting spaceships this life. But maybe believing in ourselves a bit more and collectively using what we know if our shared reality to help shape it.

Amen. Startups are like the import car scene. They all go out with a shopping list, get the same bootstrap launch page, hire the same social networking team, get wooded by a hire company with l33tcode screening, and then wonder why they develop long-term relationships with recruiters --- instead developers.

The reality is, any good programmer can screen another programmer within 15 minutes. A conversation about there last implementation, the challanges and how they responded to them is a good start.

Coding professionally is an expression of ones self. A missing semi-column is tell, not a linting issue.
My only problem is that the term is a feature not a benefit. The two most powerful ideas in lisp are the lack of statements (everything is an expression, even atoms) and the macrology (which pretty much requires expression-only, and of course requires the Mooers/Deutsch coinage of...homoiconicity).

Eval is great but unavoidably requires special forms. That's just life: you can't be circular; at best you can be metacircular. It's like the second law of thermodynamics.
What evidence exists that definitively says JavaScript is better than perl? Or golang is definitively better than python.

Won't argue this point but will only say that the experience of living anywhere is better when you have a high paying job.
I mean you need to compare that to a lithium fire which is its own kind of awful to deal with.

The reality is that current lithium batteries do have a very energetic failure mode - it’s not particularly common (because they’re engineered in such a way that a battery failure doesn’t trigger a fault in the casing) but when it does happen the immediate explosive force is much greater than for a gas tank. Also because physics lithium batteries do have a greater potential to simply “go wrong” when not in active use.

That said it is obvious electric cars are the future - I just hope we can do better than the current battery tech, the power density is way down on gasoline and that means the batteries are huge, and therefore weigh enough to impact overall car efficiency.
It says Steam has 75 million users while bulk of the rest of active games are all MMO games like Roblox which has 100 million and League of Legends at 70M by itself.

> what is the benefit of integrating housing to the people paying a premium for the privilege of living in an exclusive neighborhood

There isn't. You didn't buy the house from the government and they don't owe you any right to not meet any poor people. Segregating out the poor from access to quality education just reinforces generational class stagnation- no one can be anything better than their parents were. This is a bad thing for everyone in the long run.

>If I had to guess the next touchscreen everywhere will be misuse of AI, not in a malicious way, but in a really stupid one.

Reminds me of a talk someone gave. I forget who. Elon Musk perhaps. A quick google didn't turn it up.

Anyhow, they laid out a hypothetical scenario where humans were driven to extinction by a run away AI. Rather than being some sort of Skynet scenario where the machines are explicitly trying to kill all humans, it is an AI whose job was to maximize strawberry production. The AI converted the earth's entire surface into strawberry fields and inadvertently wiped out everything else in the process.

Arguably a more plausible scenario than Skynet.
If it is indeed the neighborhood itself that affects the opportunity, and not the people living there, then white flight shouldn't be a problem.

Perhaps confidence, warranted or not, gets more attention (including upvotes and reshares) than being justifiably cautious about drawing a conclusion? In theory this will both reward confidence and make it appear like most people are doing it.

> So what he said is that if its a viable, sustainable business that the founder wants to do, that adds value to society, but there is no exponential growth on the horizon, then it should be shut down.

I have a big problem with this.

From my point of view, most "exponential" startups are simply those startups that stayed alive long enough to be around when something shifted and left them in the right place at the right time to take advantage of the exponential that they now found themselves in.

I watched this in the "dot-bomb". The companies that "won" were big enough to actually mobilize enough resource at the problems but small enough to still react quickly. That generally meant that you needed to be "alive" for several years--they had enough infrastructure and the people to make use of it but not so many that they were too sclerotic when the shift happened.

Most "overnight" successes are 5+ years in the making.

Strangely enough it is the UK (or Ireland) where I think you can still find a social local, and I would be surprised if you couldn't think of examples yourself. Key things I would look for:

1. A wide range of ages that must include twenty year olds, middle aged customers, and elderly people.

2. It should have the vibe of a social friend's living room.

3. It doesn't have a primary goal of profit - would the owner still be there all the time if they won the lottery?

4. It is friendly to women: to quote a good-looking female friend from Shepperton "A bar I can go to by myself without getting hit on".

5. You could take a child there (not necessarily a child-friendly family bar, but neither should it be a booze palace where you wouldn't want to take your young son or daughter).

6. Unlikely to have music events or paid events that crowd out the regulars.

That said, I do get the feeling that this type of bar is harder to find over time in my country - maybe profit driven as younger drinkers do spend more - older drinkers get boozed at home with friends in my experience. I can think of examples I went to when I was younger in NZ, Ireland, and the UK.
