That's not necessarily true. Work ethic is not derived only from the notion that people need to work. It is derived from an ethical imperative and from a sense of achievement people get from work. Also, any UBI would likely be well under the amount of money necessary to live a middle class life. I myself was on SSI and could have found a way to subsist on it but really did not want to live that way. I got to know a lot of other people on SSI as well and they mostly felt the same. Most were looking for a way to make enough money to get off government assistance. This was substantially affected by the fact that the government takes 50 cents for every dollar you make. For me, living in Montana, this meant I could go to work for $5.15/hour minimum wage. I could earn $40 a day and lose $20 from my benefit. If you want to talk about a benefit system designed to disincentive work you'd have a hard time inventimg a better one than we have now.

I think you mean from Prokaryote to Eukaryote?
I like your first sentence, but unsarcastically. Companies should always strive to do more with fewer employees by automating them away.

As for the rest of your argument, most people are not like you, as they will not want to spend time setting up their own mail server. For companies this is doubly true, as they will likely spend more money setting it up, maintaining it, and upgrading it, than the subscription actually costs.

>This works the opposite of that. Everyone always gets the basic income, so there is no "more people wanting"

?????

Less time worked correlates with less things made. Less things made means less sales. Less sales means less sales tax. Less people working means less income. Less income means less income tax....

Sure this doesn't shrink the tax base? After all, when a few percent of people are put out of work during a recession, there are severe tax revenue issues. Basic income experiments so far show that 10% of people simply drop out of the workforce.....

>if the tax base was hypothetically reduced then less revenue would be generated to fund the UBI. At a lower UBI amount, more people would work. It's self-balancing.

So your UBI pays people a fixed percent of the tax base, not a dollar amount? So during a recession, those UBI people will get really screwed....
Take out all the low wage workers that don't use any apps, and the average goes up.
It's accruing cost year round though from the reduced MPG but even if we don't factor in daily fuel consumption that $3k cost increase covers 20 solid days renting a truck vs buying one. The math rarely works especially with so many places offering home delivery for large furniture. The number of times a person really needs a truck vs it being more convenient than a car are pretty slim.
As far as I know, there are no plans to support 32-bit devices in the foreseeable future.

You should report illegal activities to the authorities, not companies.

I wouldn't expect Namecheap, a low cost registrar with "cheap" in its name, to have the legal resources to investigate or make a conclusion for each accusation that comes their way for one of their 10 million domain names.

As with everything internet related, I think there's a vast misunderstanding of scale, and difficulty in automation (domains sniping!), for what they're facing.

I also wouldn't expect them to hand out information to anyone that asks for it, especially a large company known for misusing any information they can get their hands on, without a subpoena.

I think the real solution would have to come from a third party group(s) that could collect, monitor, and produce high quality reports, with a high level of accuracy, that all of these registrars could use. Who would fund these groups? Probably whomever gains/loses less from the phishing scams being terminated.

I'm not. I'm just saying it robs the word "conscious" of most of its utility. It no longer makes sense to say, for example, "That person is unconscious."

How does one know what to be true?

Then I propose we do the following experiment: let's surgically remove your brain and see if afterwards you still profess to be conscious.
Generally speaking, I don't believe reading more books helps your thinking better than going back to smaller amount of books, unless you just need the knowledge to be used for now. Memorizing is not good enough when reading a good book; it requires more time thinking than reading to grasp the essence of a good book.

Presumably they think decentralization is a benefit in its own right.
Nationalization will only destroy the system that produces life-saving medicines. We have seen it over and over again with other industries in other countries. Priorities change for capitalized companies and eventually, the golden eggs that are the medicines will stop.

The problem is that these companies have the wrong incentives and are producing products where they think they can get the best profits.

This is where government policies will help.
Governments need to give tax credits for drugs that are needed and support the development of low-cost alternatives to expensive life-saving drugs.

The Orphan Drug Act of 1983 has been responsible for the development of many drugs that would never have been developed without a few government incentives. We should learn from that and apply it to other drugs.

We bitch about farmers getting lots of help from the government but the result is that we get basic foods at a very affordable price. We can learn from those policies and apply them to pharma.

The capitalist system works. But governments need to change policies to tweak the system so that companies develop what we need at an affordable price.
This is helpful feedback. Thank you. We had the counter feedback off a free call making the service seem low value. Ideally we get the best of both worlds. Easier said than done of course!

> Letting government run something _may_ result in a more egalitarian distribution of fairly shitty service (see USPS, VA Health Care, etc.) but it absolutely will not result in a more efficient system.

The US pays at least 2x more per capita for health care than pretty much any other country on the planet. And I have never seen it even close to top-ranked in any health care quality statistics.
My BS detector went off immediately when I read the link about Zettelkastens, and then I googled "Zettelkasten", and I skimmed through five different articles that were each pages long and talked over and over about how wonderful Zettelkastens are but didn't give any information about how they work or how to implement them practically. That's a pretty reliable indication that the service is the end, not a means to the end.

For the uninformed, a Zettelkasten is a searchable, unordered, labeled database. That's it.

This is tricky, as handling a person asking for a medical advice is a rather special thing, compared to a person asking to buy a vacuum cleaner.

The thing is, all of your medical info will go to all of the above trackers, and surely they will sell it to whoever wants to pay for that. Insurance companies included.
Technical complexity isn't the only dimension.

Surveillance capitalism and privatized censorship are byproducts of data centralization.

Cryptocurrency has a political aspect. Why view it only through a lens of technical complexity?
It may look like a solution to an individual or to a small group of people within a company. But the following reasons are examples why it may not be.

* paying double (more than one department paying for a SaaS product that would accommodate both under the cost being paid by one of the departments)

* failure to reduce cost via group purchasing (enterprise licensing usually goes down per user as the number of users goes up)

* using products that haven't been reviewed to handle special types of data (data being put into the application that shouldn't: financial, medical, etc)

* using products without hooking them into the single sign-on solution (users who leave the company may still have access to SaaS applications and company data if they aren't being properly administered)

* using products that require a trained administrator without having one actually trained and appointed

> but mixed with radar can it be effective enough.

The usual solution is actually lidar + optical; lidar gives much better spatial resolution than radar, which is why it's been the standard going back to the DARPA challenge. You really want to have good spatial resolution in order to distinguish e.g. bikers and tail-lights and road signs for your optical systems, which radar typically isn't good enough for; that's the point of that qualifier in "imaging radar". Still probably worse performance (i.e. time and spatial resolution) than lidar, but better range and weather resistance.

(The previous generation of Waymo cars already had one lidar on top; the radar and the close-range lidars are the new additions.)
I hope not! I use it rather heavily, every day.
Preface: there's no excuse for drivers being assholes to bikers (yelling, speeding, worse).

But as a driver, our resentment for bike commuters doesn't just come from entitlement (though somewhat, yes). It comes from fear, just like yours. I really don't want to accidentally kill anyone, and bikers are one of the only encounters in my daily life when I feel like that might happen.

I wish it were safer for bikers. Our infrastructure is terrible. The bike lanes are spotty and bad when they exist. Lane separation is more symbolic than physical.

I get that bikers want to be on the road anyway, and that conceptually, it should be a shared space. But the reality is that our roads are ill suited for the task, catastrophically and obviously dangerous, and people insist on trying it anyway because in principle, it should work.

It feels like bikers think they're the only ones shouldering the risk of having their lives destroyed if things go sideways. As a driver, that's not how it feels. Maiming or killing a biker would be strictly worse for the biker, but I'm not excited about living in the aftermath either. It feels like bikers increase the risk of a terrible thing happening to both of us.

For me, that's what makes it a moral gray area: bikers definitely have the environmental upper hand. But they do it by engaging in activity that is borderline reckless given the reality of American roads. I find it difficult to enthusiastically encourage that.

Yes. It happens. I've had the same yelled at me, and been cursed at and flipped off (middle finger) when:

- Riding on a bike path that is separated by grass from and parallel to a road.
- Waiting at a crosswalk light for my turn to cross an intersection (while traveling on a bike path).

>> 35 spreadsheets represent an workflow that your generic app will likely not automate

This is part of knowing the niche. The "app" doesn't need to be generic, or an app at all. Add-ons for existing industry software, integrations between industry software and generic inventory management app, etc. are all ways to provide immense value.

Yes, but they are often flooded with generic apps. "Inventory management for SMBs" because there isn't anything more specific. Until a company is large (enterprisey) enough to bake their home-made solution.

> You might say “just search all the source code for that pattern” but this was two years before grep was invented! It was as primitive as can be.

If you control the compiler, you can make the compiler diagnose all the cases which are affected by the precedence of &, emitting a file name and line number.

That was the thing to do with those several hundred kilobytes of code. Get the precedence right, and then warn about any code actually relying on the precedence. The compiler then "greps it out" accurately; even instances that are obfuscated by preprocessing.

Or, add the warning first before rolling out the change to the precedence:

foo.c:35: warning: obsolescent & precedence: use parentheses

Let the programmers go through a period of obsolescence whereby they rid their code of these warnings by using parentheses. Then, the compiler can be changed, while maintaining a diagnostic in that area of the language for some time. Eventually, when everyone has forgotten the old dialect with the bad precedence, the diagnostic can be removed.

When the new precedence is rolled out, a compatibility switch can be included for compiling code with the obsolescent precedence. Actually, that option can even be rolled out first (so it initially does nothing).

When the option is eventually removed, the compiler will refuse to run if it is specified.

So anyway, Ritchie had a few fairly easy and cheap alternatives to sticking with bad precedence; he perhaps wasn't aware of them.

I think good tech talks (especially ones that are highly technical), are ones that make the high-level context for why we should care about the technology we're learning very clear.

I'd recommend checking out https://femgineer.com/present-book/ and the corresponding youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Femgineers

Her lessons on using storytelling in your talk to explain and reinforce the high-level value might be helpful for you as you structure your talk.
I personally would advise against using DNS for service discovery, it wasn't designed for that.

The few milliseconds that you get though, most likely is due to your local machine not having DNS caching configured, this is quite common in Linux. Because of that every connection triggers a request to DNS server. You can install unbound for example to do it. nscd or sssd can also be configured to do some caching.

They don't make useful trucks any more, that's why a dilapidated toyota with a standard cab, long bed, and half a million miles still costs $10k. Like you I can put a quarter ton of gravel in a Honda Fit. 500 lbs of gravel only takes up 4 cubic feet. It's not like you can fill the bed of an F-150 with sand and drive off; the truck would break in half.

The only fucking idiot among top Soviet politicians was Gorbachev who sold one of the world's biggest economic, scientific and military powers just for 30 pieces of silver. His predecessors were no idiots at all. They are depicted as complete morons by the western propaganda - it's true. But propaganda and reality are two completely different things. I would advise you to learn history instead of blindly believing the yellow press and political articles on Wikipedia.

Right after the shower, you'll get super warm, even in winter. You're system just gets going to equalise your temperature.

Also, you'll be woken up no dithering about in a stupor until your coffee kicks in, it definitely gives you a kick in the backside to get going, so even just for that, it's worth it in my opinion.

And, I never get cold. I can work outside in a t-shirt in winter (UK winter) without feeling any cold.
This wouldn't be described as a "black swan" if Donald hadn't pushed us into a rally that wasn't backed by real earnings growth. We are not in a "black swan," we are in the Trump bubble. Eventually people will open their eyes and identify this. Rate cuts to protect the price of stocks in an election year. Denial of obvious facts. Repeated messaging about how strong the economy is. A press conference focused more on the stock selloff than the viral outbreak. This isn't some kind of tail event. The real tail event is the three-year rally that untethered asset prices from corporate earnings. That is the gas leak in our basement; the coronavirus outbreak is but a spark.

Then someone gets Slack because they don't like Teams, and they think that's worth it. Someone else wants Flowdock. Your new exec used Zoom at his old job and wants everyone to have that for video calling. Your IT security team have half a dozen anti-virus tools, two data loss prevention tools, three monitoring solutions because they're overwhelmed by the amount of data coming out of them. You use a third party RAS solution that doesn't work as well as the one built into Windows, but boy does it add a chunk per-user. You're still running a few JVM applications which you now owe Oracle for the pleasure of using an old JRE. No-one uses the three knowledge management tools you've bought over the years to try and organize your documentation, but you can't decommission any of them yet, because you never migrated everything out of them.

Then someone in the finance team decides the way to tackle out-of-control costs is to buy a tool to monitor installed software on all the desktops. It has another agent.

Welcome to the swamp.
I basically follow the same protocol as you up to this point:

> Once we release, we tag, merge into master, and start over again. If any issues show up on production, we use the hotfix branch, hotfix/x.y.z. That let's us resolve issues with risking a ship of any of the changes that have come into develop that haven't had a few days of stability behind it.

In our case, there's no point in a hotfix branch because master is always considered stable. You don't merge to master unless you're ready for that code to hit production. Feature gates are used for hiding live code when necessary for marketing announcements or if the feature simply isn't ready for actual customer usage yet (sometimes we leave the endpoints live but turn off all the navigation to the endpoint so we can send out the link as a "beta" test for specific customers).

This does occasionally cause problems with feature branches lagging behind, but it's on the developer to ensure that their code merges into master smoothly (usually best done by syncing your feature branch back up to master frequently)
Probably one of those cases where the designer creates something great and then when the customer views it they start “I like it but we want something more modern like those buttons on your phone, how do you call them? Apps right? What if we remove this and this and make these a bit larger”
You mean the companies where executives use extensive corporate speak and pull deadlines out of their asses, without checking in with the experts on the ground, triggering office heroics down in the trenches. We'll do it - we all get rent to pay.

Yeah, you can fake through it more than half of the time, comfortably. Just be eloquent, tall, and loud.
I love playing with things that expand my mind to what is possible. I have never found newness in itself to be attractive.

However I have come to respect that many people are different. These are often the same people who insist on buying a new phone, never mind that they haven't understood a millionth of the old one yet.
That's fair. Thanks!
