I have the same frustration with Google Maps.

I have a route I take, and let's say I split it up with A-B-C. now Google Maps tells me that AB-BC takes an hour, but AB'-BC' is 15 minutes faster.

It usually turns out that the time delay is on the later leg. So I could take AB or AB', it doesn't matter, and then BC' is the faster choice later on.

I wish Google Maps wouldn't show me AB', because it's misleading. At best it should say AB' is the same ETA. But clicking on it means that some route near the end of my drive is now different, it doesn't actually save me time for my current divergence. It's misleading.

i.e. intentionally use definitions you know are confusing and then - as language is famously a single person endeavour - blaming the listener when they misunderstand. This arrangement works particularly well as a shibboleth to prevent people knowing what you're saying if they have the poor foresight to choose another language as their native tongue.

That depends on where the higher taxes kick in. For a lot of people it would be getting some of your own money back, like a tax refund. This makes UBI seem both much more expensive and a much higher benefit than it actually is.

For the combination of higher taxes and UBI you need to look at how the net effects vary across the population. This isn't easy to do without understanding the taxes, and those tend not to be emphasized. (Yang's proposal has a big hole in it; the taxes aren't enough and he relies on economic growth to make up for it, which is a common dodge many politicians use for big proposals. Not that economic growth can't happen but it's not that predictable for something that hasn't been tried. You don't know when the next recession will be.)

In a zero-sum redistribution scheme intended to reduce inequality, if you're of average or high income you might not directly benefit at all, but that's no reason not to support it. You buy fire insurance for the worst case, not because you plan to make money at it in the average case. You get security from it that's not shown in the estimated average payoff.

Definitely for forms, but for static content? Our design sensibilities weren't there--we were too busy adding animated gifs and blink--but the tech was. Look at a post on Medium. A lot of that style could have been done in 1998.
I would strongly caution against this sort of mindset.

Renting is not nearly as pain-free and simple experience as you make it sound. All it takes one bad tenant, longer vacancy, or an expensive home repair to you set back for a decade.

Nor is home appreciation a sure thing. Selling a home costs 6% + closing fees which run at least another 2%. Home taxes are often quite a burden typically add another 1% cost per year and say 3% paid as interest. Factor in all the costs, selling 3-4 years later you are barely breaking even, do the math, you'd have to sell for 6% + 4% + 6% + 3% you would need a 18% appreciation just to break even!!! Of course, most people are bad at keeping track of all their costs and will only tell you about the awesome deal they made: Look Ma, I sold three years later for 15% more - yet overall they lost money on it.

Have you heard of the rule of 1%? It is widely considered the benchmark to renting, you got to rent for least at 1% of the total cost you are paying. And you're real income, that you can assign to the mortgage will be more like 0.5% of the rental. Very few homes in America are even close to that. Then being a landlord is a job as well. You're not just sitting back having money coming as "free cashflow", there are always things that need to be dealt with - many times with expenses.

Hoping to break even after 3-4 years is incredibly naive. Yes there are people that luck out, but then so is playing the lottery, there are many more that don't. More likely 10 years when you get to see a real return if all goes well. had you invested that, you would be far ahead.

I only realized in the past year or so that much news isn’t that helpful to consume. And this from somebody who gets most news from a print Economist weekly. On reflection, many stories go like “here are some things that happened, it’s about the same thing that’s been happening in this story for five months, it’s not yet clear how important recent developments are”.

Unfortunately, many conflicts fall under this umbrella.

Maybe there is some value to repeatedly pushing these things to the front of my consciousness —- rather than, say, checking in every few months —- but I can’t see what it is.

What's the failure mode? That broad swaths of society get provided a fundamental service (shelter) in a way that is profitable to the people most efficiently and effectively providing that service?

I think when people approach this problem as "how do we best punish the rich?" rather than "how do we best help the poor?", it's very easy to get stuck spinning in circles.

(IMO) No one should care that there are very rich people. We should instead care that there are not very poor people.
A lot depends on customer complaints. The the people who copied the restaurant's ID and menu serve good food, the harmed person is the original. This is a lot like me making fake Coca-Cola - as long as I deliver a good tasting clean product I could get away with this for ages. Now this restaurans is aware, they could speak with the police or FBI(if it crosses state lines?). If the police do not find a cause to proceed, he can sue them for "passing off"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_off

This might work based on a letter. Best way to go is make an order and get it delivered to you and ask the delivery person (of course, video and plate number etc) and ask him where he picked up the food - if he wiggles, tell them you have his plate and video and you will call the IRS about his undeclared income and the state about undeducted salaries - hopefully this will pursuade him to speak up. If not, it gets harder as you will have to track them to their lair. You may get by with a cease and desist letter that you find online and adapt to your case and mail to them at their lair?
This is an easy form of copying for one of these 'container kitchens' that a lot of restaurants already use to deal with voilume online orders.

The problem is that in mature companies there is often no next version where you need pioneers. The next version is just an incremental change to the previous version. If the business is very management or sales driven then as engineer you are told exactly what to do in the shortest time. No room for or interest in pioneering work.
Right now, SkyAlt can't write to the remote databases and in the future, it will be able to write only data, not change a structure(create/remove columns, etc.).

This will lead to the option to build internal tools. Adding dashboards and writing to remote databases should be easy to program, but right now I focus on stability, usability and documentation for current features.
I went to school in the US and my experience is identical to yours. During the school year I'd spend much more than 40 hours a week on schoolwork, I recall taking a software engineering course where my team and I would meet on both Saturday and Sunday for 10ish hours each day for a couple months to get our project done.

I also couldn't have done that myself because I was only able to do it with access to student loans, as I had to (at the minimum) eat and have somewhere warm to sleep, which I certainly had no money for, so I had to take out loans for food and rent.

> An application should never rely on a shell script. If you have to execute another program, use the syscalls (fork and exec on posix).

Could you explain why? I'm very happy with programs calling shell commands/scripts. You execute another program the same way whether interactively from a shell, or by calling system() from another program. The simplicity and universality of the call syntax is an advantage.
The point? Theoretically provided a floor upon which you cannot fall below but one from which you can grow up from.

However, there are so many caveats that it requires compromise both on part of those who wish to create such a system and those who wish to participate in such a system. It requires changing society in such that acceptance of a minimal life style is normal and not something to rebel against. It will require acknowledging that this minimal lifestyle may not be in a location you truly desire but it will never be in a location you cannot survive.

No UBI based society will survive long as purveyors of jealously and envy prey on it. This pretty much tanks the idea as long as current political methods are employed which extort both to gain power and authority over others. Look how much political effort is expended in making people dislike others simply for what they have. Worse is the idea insinuated that many did not get what they have by fair means. All this will doom any society trying to move to UBI because there cannot be any floor that would be acceptable.

The complex problem is that in such a large population base the numbers of people who will seek to take advantage of it can outstrip those who want to improve upon it. This is exaggerated as many succumb to this thinking because of the near constant bombardment of envy pushed by those with political aims.

Suddenly having an extra $1k/month isn't going to bump many people into the bracket where the can suddenly afford the luxury housing, though. It goes back to the housing supply needing to be fixed, UBI itself does not fix it.

That's interesting. I developed a peanut allergy as an adult (around 25 years old). Before then, peanuts were one of my favorite snacks.
Looks like you’re not too far off. World fertility rates are dropping very sharply: “ The world is undergoing an unprecedented demographic transformation. Between now and 2050,the number of older persons will rise from about 600 million to almost two billion. In less than 50 years from now, for the first time in history, the world will contain more people over 60 than under 15.”

A population decline is certainly not necessary to continue growing GDP/capita. What kind of neo-Malthusian nonsense is that? The economy is operating nowhere near peak performance... at least 1/3 of GDP is lost annually due to private capture of economic rent.

There is one of your assumptions.

It is more likey be captured by connected rentiers who exclude the more efficient.

When I last looked, https://www.compose.com/ did 'blind hiring' - they judge you by a small, representative work task rather than the credentials you boast.

If I had said “a human palindrome will be born...”, I think your argument would have more some validity. But I gave him a proper title (e.g., the capitalized The Human Palidrome), which makes him fictional.

I regret not using “their,” so the reader could infer whatever gender they want, but I don’t think your argument that this isn’t a fictional person carries weight.
China = 20% of global GDP -> shutdown until Feb 17th.

China = ??% of global supply chain -> shutdown until Feb 17th.

This is the current status quo. If the situation isn't controlled by Feb 13th you can kiss at least 1/3 of global GDP goodbye.

And, don't get me started on possible outbreaks elsewhere.
This is more of the reply I was looking for; this seems a little more reasonable.

On the one hand, you're not wrong that previously the guidelines for introducing kids to peanuts, especially those with a family history of peanuts, were wrong[1] and that this may be a pretty big reason why this problem is so currently visible especially in the US. (though nobody really knows for sure)

That being said, would you trust yourself to isolate peanut allergen, measure it to 600mg, and feed it to your kid? I couldn't do that. Now that some kids have this problem and it's not just going to go away if we cram a peanut down their throats, it's nice that the medical industry has provided a solution. It's unfortunate that it's expensive but this problem is just a problem with the entire industry as it stands in the US.

The study was actually titled "Not only assholes drive Mercedes. Besides disagreeable men, also conscientious people drive high‐status cars."

Treehugger implied that they couldn't print the title because of the word "asshole", but maybe it was because the title contradicts the message that they're trying to send with the article?
I was going through an empty road in an empty area (no buildings nearby) in the middle of the night, and somehow it's red on google map. Turns out there was a single car stopping on the side of the road, and that's enough to make google maps think there was a congestion there. As soon as I passed the car, the road is green again.
Much better than the more common scenario of driving to work with an all green route and then finding that traffic is at a standstill. And then seconds later Google Maps marks the road as red. This happens so much that I don't trust all green routes to work anymore.
Web technologies are barbarianism.

We've been laying out pages for hundreds of years. I suspect that this would be a much shorter article if Microsoft/Netscape/Opera/et.al had consulted with experts in that business first, rather than re-invent the entire process from first principles.

PowerVR SGX. It's probably the last significant video hardware left that hasn't got any sort of open source implementation for the user space drivers.

Interesting analogy, and I would agree if the developer is intentionally concealing their actions to escape consequences.

However, the situation is more often someone inexperienced doing a bad job, or someone experienced doing a bad job because they're crushed by unrealistic deadlines, or someone cutting corners intentionally because the company is in a do-or-die situation. None of these are immoral, but result in the same outcome.

I am in a minority, but I would welcome the economic decline that would come with growth reduction if it were accompanied by using less manufactured goods (like cars), more locally grown food, more craft and art locally produced, more travel done in VR (with addition that local guides would be there to talk with you), etc., etc.
I wish it had a “no left turns” feature like they have for avoiding tolls.
Oh I see. I think your self-awareness about the fact that other products will influence you is probably a good sign. None of us build products in a vacuum, I think most companies (big & small) keep tabs on their competitors to get ideas. Is it immoral for eCommerce websites to also implement things that Amazon does? Unless it is something that has some protection (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Click), I don't think there is really a problem. Your competitors are also looking at your site, doing similar things.

This might make you feel a little bit better, instead of focusing on the other products. Focus on your own, what features do YOU need? Build for that and let your customers guide you product. At your lower price point, you might be attracting customers with different pain points than your other higher priced competitors. This way you are solving your problem but your journey might take you on a completely different path. Use their features as inspiration but not necessarily your own road map.
Why on earth would you not exhibit actual machinery? It's plenty strong -- just keep it painted and greased so it doesn't rust -- and it's so much cooler. They rebuild the boilers in the trains every few years, using period tools and techniques so the "new" one is just like the old.

When they run the engines inside the museum, it's on compressed air rather than actual steam, for indoor humidity reasons. But outdoors, if it's running, it's because there's coal burning and water boiling not far away.

Everything in the Henry Ford is real, except the Wright Flyer replica and I think they've replaced a few floorboards in some of the buildings. But otherwise, you're walking on the same floors that Edison and Steinmetz walked on, while the generators they built spin at the other side of the room and light the bulbs overhead. The food in the café is from period recipes, and you can ride around the grounds in a Model T if you want to pay a little extra.

> the docents would have to drag me out

That's more-or-less what happened with me; they shut down the weaving shop an hour before the grounds close, and I easily had enough questions for three or four hours more. That's okay, I'll go back in spring!

You can spend at least a whole day in the museum and another in the village, so plan accordingly. Get here.
AFAIK the effort is still ongoing. I believe LWN had some nice coverage on that, with the last majir pain point being attaching a security context to sockets in a way that suits all interested LSMs.

This is a very weird expression. Is there consensus or not? Always ask for evidence, not appeal to authority.
Do you mean that production costs (prices) go down with automation or that the selling price to consumers goes down? If you meant the latter this is wrong. The selling price depends on the pricing power that the producer has. Consider for example monopolistic pricing power, cartel pricing power, and regulatory capture.
