Here in Belgium new driving licenses are of the standard credit-card design (I don't know exactly since when), but most people still have the old folded paper design. Since the old licenses are still valid, and the new designs require renewal every 5 years which the old ones don't, there is no incentive for people to swap their old license for a new one.
I would really like to see OSS funding continue to move in the direction that other content creation has gone in the past decade or so: pay for the creator, not the product - like the Patreon model.

The sad part is that the US will only change their policy when from an demographic point of view they need to generate higher birth rates. For now, the US population is increasing without any stimulus. In Europe, aging populations have pushed governments to adopt more pro-parent policies.

I worked for HP in the late 90s / early 2000s. Right around the time Agilent was split off.

It was a remarkable place to work. "Bill and Dave" were household names: I was really struck by how much of their vision and values had been embedded in the firm's DNA. Quite amazing for a multi-national.

I remember the UK general manager coming to visit our site. He wasn't immune to the usual entourage of hangers-on, but always insisted on going walkabout on his own for an hour or so. Precisely so he knew what was actually happening at the coal face, not the filtered and abstracted artefacts of managerial reports. He stopped to speak to one of my colleagues - a recent graduate. The grad had no idea who the manager was, and asked him politely to give him 10 minutes as he was waiting for a build to finish (1990s remember). Those of us who knew the manager were aghast and assumed the grad would be in for a bit of a tough time. But the GM just smiled and said "of course, hope it compiles OK", went away, and came back later.

That moment has stuck with me throughout my career. I've sought to emulate that level of humility and respect. Can't say I've always been successful, but it remains inspirational.
The automation of this is great and saves time and money.

But this highlights the exact problem that Andrew Yang, the Democratic Candidate is highlighting which is: what do we do with people whose jobs are lost to automation and algorithms?

His proposal of universal basic income helps these people who have lost their jobs attempt a soft landing because at least they will have some income.

I used to be against UBI but now I fully understand why we need it, because too many jobs are going to be eliminated, and what do we do with these people who have lost their jobs? They are likely older with lower skills, and retraining programs are statistically an abject failure.

Thanks, and please do add them. Sites that are up-front with their fees and much more trustworthy in my eyes. If the fees aren't shown, it is often a sign that there's a nasty reason why.
It depends on the initial investment size, if the initial investment is large enough then it will make up a larger portion. The projected annual returns are listed on the /invest page.
>Same reason men serving in the military or working abroad or on oil rigs or in long-haul trucking have children?

I don't see how those two situations equate. One is an impossibility, due to circumstance (e.g.: on the battlefield), and other is the willful knowledge that you want nothing to do with their upbringing because, using the OC's words, "I’d rather be earning a large dollar amount (doing something I enjoy) than child-rearing...".

Edit: In other words, there's no direct implication that everyone in the military, working abroad, or long-haul trucking wants nothing to do with child-raising. I'd imagine the situation is actually the inverse but the economic necessity for that work to be done (to provide a living) is what prevents that.

To me it seems that ad-based monetization is untenable. The more obnoxious it becomes, the more people are enticed to learn about and set up adblockers.

By giving it away for free only for personal rather than commercial use, as lots of software used to be in the last millenium? But of course what's going to happen is a certain F/OSS advocacy org will shout "this isn't F/OSS as it doesn't obey our no-purpose-limitation criterion" and you and your software will be treated as a pariah and avoided like the plague and even more than pure closed-source software.

Interesting concept. Sounds more like an astute sense of critical thinking. Would a machine (i.e. AI) with vast knowledge, driven solely by cold facts and results be considered hypersane?
It should be interesting to see how this proceeds. When I was a Tumblr they invested a huge amount of effort in being as nasty as possible to Yahoo and fighting/rebeling against each and everything Yahoo asked of them. I left right at the Verizon merger so I can’t say if that has changed, but if that culture is still there it will make it challenging for any purchaser. Not to reward their behavior but it might have worked out better in the long run, yahoo’s tech environment was heavily customized and integrated, it would be very difficult to extract any other Yahoo property from their portfolio.

Hence the lack of a Taiwanese flag on the back of Tom Cruise like in the first movie. I can assure you there will probably also be no gay people in any of these movies.

This is getting out of hand. The Chinese government is leaking into our world and popping up everywhere now.
The same analysis makes it untenable for centralized platforms, as you noticed yourself.

It's arguably harder to do it on a decentralized platforms since they are... Well, decentralized. Those 240,000,000 people hours are then spread over all of the decentralized platforms instead of being focused on one or a few. Also, the cost of moderation is spread over everyone instead of a single entity having to pay for all of it.
Twitter is not credible as a primary source to start with, tweets are routinely removed when people don't get the reaction they wanted.

There's always the risk that the script will fail to completely download and leave your system in a broken state. This can be mitigated against by the script authors by wrapping everything in a function which is called on the last line, but how do you know they've done that without downloading the script and checking first?

We could start by not underestimating human capacity to invent new jobs. Long before algorithms were a thing, automation largely eliminated agricultural and domestic servant jobs that used to employ the vast majority of people

And the welfare state wasn't invented by Andrew Yang: only difference is his variant assumes people who are desperate to find work and people that have absolutely no need to or intention of doing anything other than live off their savings or family wealth have exactly the same need for subsidies...
Maybe not super relevant, but since I cannot contribute anything else to the discussion, here it goes:

That logo is certainly lacking more marbling.
A friend of mine lives in a housing co-op which works something like this. Rent does not go toward profit: each renter becomes a shareholder in the organization, and rent may only be used to manage existing properties or to buy new properties and expand the network.

When a unit becomes available, existing members have the option to move into it before it will be offered to potential new members. Who gets it is decided by a formula based on need and seniority within the network. This might happen when, for instance, a family starts to need more space, or an elderly tenant would like to move to the ground floor.

It seems to work well, and makes me wish for more non-profit housing.

So… a few thoughts. I live in HK (having semi-recently moved here from the Bay Area, right before this all flared up).

First, there's a ton of misinformation out there. Few sources have entirely accurate information, but the best English-language resource I've found on the subject is the local paper South China Morning Post (scmp.com). They have pretty accurate and unbiased live reporting of the protests as it flares up. Twitter and private groups have unfiltered live information.

The movement is still described as "anti extradition bill," but has long stopped being about the extradition bill that triggered it all. At this point, it's simply a revolution against an increasingly worrying shift towards Beijing-controlled authoritarianism.

The mood has intensified and darkened since the beginning of the movement in June. There is a lot more disagreement now about whether the protester's tactics are justified. The protests are losing a lot of general support, but still attract overwhelmingly large crowds. Police has stepped up the aggression, the gov't isn't budging, and dissidents are increasingly angry and willing to resort to violence and guerrilla tactics. There's also the added element of the white shirt counter-protesters (allegedly triads, allegedly China-backed) inciting indiscriminate violence to attempt to scare the public into distancing themselves from the movement.

Nobody has died yet, but the violence is getting worse and some people are getting seriously hurt. Yesterday's flare-up at the airport was in response to anger about a female medic protester being shot point-blank in the face by police and losing an eye. There were some pretty horrific scenes of police shooting tear gas rounds at close range in Kwai Fong MTR station (which is against the rules for how to use tear gas and which endangers both protesters and bystanders and MTR employees alike).

My life here hasn't been affected much, but I do make an effort to avoid the protests area which aren't exactly safe. There have been quite a few of regular transit disruption. I've definitely have had several days of cancelled plans due to transportation issues. I've had friends crash with me because their neighborhood was in the middle of a protest fight. I've had a friend get tear gassed walking home a bit too close to a group of protesters.

Hope this all gets resolved peacefully soon, but let's be real… it won't. I expect this will continue to escalate. I'm watching China's response carefully, because there's a risk they make some pretty unprecedented moves.

For perspective, here's a comment I wrote the day of the first violent protest on June 12th (which I attended): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20167292

Happy to answer any questions from the perspective of an expat on the ground.
Is that project 200MB of PHP? Because 200MB of RAM seems obese at best for a text editor.
A bit cynical, but not unfair. Many people in the US persistently cling to the idea that solution implemented and working (albeit imperfectly) in other parts of the world will not work in the US due to XYZ.

Which in a way, is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Solutions implemented in the rest of the world will not work in the US because most people don't believe they will, or that the US is not capable of radical change (that is, radical change not driven by an individual or a corporate desire for profit)
That's a Sully comment.

I've once went to a strip club in Hawaii. Stripper just grab a 1 dollar note and cleaned the strip pole with it.

US dollars are one of the most yucky currencies. First you have 1 dollar note that is pointless at this economy. Then, they are still made of paper. Finally, amount of cash in use is astonishing. From my XP NZ is 99.99% cashless, while Lithuania about 95% (I don't carry any cash tho and ignore business that don't accept cards - they usually are not paying tax).

Also wanted to reiterate how amazingly convenient digital banking has become in EU. I've signed up for Monese - in about 5 minutes of digital verification I've got IBAN account setup and a debit card sent to my home address. That's longer than I had to wait on a phone to get by traditional bank account reactivated.

Low. There are also reports of APCs massing on the China-HK border. Allowing unrest to spread is the one thing China has become extremely good at preventing.
> What's threatened is the world's supply of Cavendish bananas which is what every Western country imports.

Actually, quite a few Western countries export them. And quite a few Western countries import (or domestically grow and consume) other varieties, though typically in smaller quantities.
> the existing commercial banana industry

You mean in the US or elsewhere? The US is only 25% of the total market. While a big number, there are far larger consumers of bananas. 'it is important to note that only 15 percent of banana production is traded in the international market'.

It sounds like people might have to learn to eat another type of banana. It has already happened when the market switched from Gros Michael to Cavendish. Given that there is 1000 varieties of bananas out there, that is a marketing problem, not a catastrophic problem.

> I end up setting up Slack channels

If you can do this without getting fired, what is the problem for you?
In my experience Teams is often used alongside other 'channels of communication and collaboration' which makes it a burden more than anything else.

Ever since it was introduced it seems more like an unfinished tech experiment (but Slack felt the same to me). It seems to be designed with the aim of increasing productivity rather than making it easier to communicate with people.

As someone who writes this stuff, the money so far has been in expository content for beginners. You could call that writing for the lowest common denominator, but I don't think of it that way. Frequently, I am able to develop an interesting project or idea over the course of an article, but to make the content accessible to readers of all backgrounds the first bit of the article does have to provide the absolute basics. I hope this perspective helps.

There are a couple places that I recommend (disclaimer: I have written for these sites) that publish work targeting intermediate/advanced readers in addition to more introductory tutorials. Floydhub's blog for AI/ML and Smashing Magazine for frontend/web dev are good resources.

Following the links from that article -- Packard's "eleven simple rules for getting along with others" is a pretty good read too.

https://fs.blog/2013/09/dave-packards-11-simple-rules/
Fine, so you write a bunch of code, and release it under an NC license and a paid commercial license, no problem. Then someone comes along and submits a PR. What now? Will you accept their code and monetize it, despite the fact that you still deny that person the right to monetize your code, or will you refuse all PRs?

The problem with these proposals is that it creates an unequal relationship; some developers have more rights just because they started the project, even if others have contributed significantly.

Most of South America has this system, among other names, they're called Combis. Back in '12 my buddy and I accidentally got on a long distance Combi instead of a bus between Cartagena and Santa Marta, about 150 miles, cost us maybe $8 each. They run on urban inner city routes too of course. It's how most of the continent gets around outside of capital cities.
Go visit back-to-landers hippies from the early 70s, they lived quasi of-grid for almost 50 years now, all play music everyday, some of them (the youngest) can still ride their horses everyday, and they eat whatever they grow. Poorest people in the US, poorest than some homeless, but they still live really well, and better than most i shall say.

They chose how to live their dreams, did it for ~50 years and still ended up pretty comfortably. If they had the same viewpoint you have, they would probably have lived miserably until an Oxycontin OD.
I wouldn't put this on the same level as an increase in mental illness cases in recent times. The scientists making those definitions know what they're doing. This article seems to just be... rambling, I guess?
The concepts of money or nations or companies are good examples of what lives between "sane" and hypersane. Those are all fictional stories, and while useful to organize humans they do not have any physical representations. Yeah I know cash, or written laws or a signed printout of the articles of incorporation are a thing. But these only matter because the story keeps being played out.

How do you know test such concepts for not being real? One example test: can it be "destroyed" by someone's or some group's declaration? Just words? Yes to all the three: money when it's being forbidden and for example replaced with new money (ex: Hong Kong during Japanese invasion), nations when they stop being recognized (Poland during 17th century), corporations that are deemed monopolies and are broken up by the courts (Rockefeller's empire).

I've never understood this, all economic transactions are voluntary, who am I (or in this case, you) to tell people they can't make that decision?

People who make bad decisions shouldn't be protected from the consequences of their actions. I do agree that loot boxes and gambling mechanics are pretty bad methods of monetizing a game, that's why I don't buy them, but I don't presume to tell other people what they should think of them or the business owners whether or not they can add them in.

It seems GNU radio offers all that, but is so fiendishly hard to use it's easier just to write code in C to process my data as I want and plot it with matplotlib.
