Build another house, and then problem solved. Why start with the assumption that supply needs to be low forever? That is actually a very new problem in housing due to regulatory capture, a long history of terrible zoning laws, and a tragedy of the commons that there are always many people ready to oppose a new house but no resident of the unbuilt house able to counter that force and argue for it.

With better policy we really could end the current housing shortage in our biggest & richest cities.
Certainly right now someone would be a fool to overlook Asian hardware companies, including examples you mentioned.

Are there any tools which can parse a JSON document and its schema definition to construct a queryable graph? The ability to see and traverse relationships in particularly complex JSON documents (like an OpenAPI definition) could come in handy.
I thought about that, never seen anything be disinfected in Sweden. Then I saw images of these huge disinfecting trucks in Syria I was very perplexed, and remember thinking "are we fighting the same disease?"... Just thinking aloud here, not making a statement.

Why give free money to everyone? Clearly a rich person doesn’t need a monthly check from government...

Milton Friedman long ago proposed a negative income tax to replace means-tested welfare programs. Essentially, people below a certain income threshold would receive money which scales to a maximum the closer their income approaches zero.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_income_tax

I do think people radically underestimate the unforeseen consequences of a free guaranteed income, even if it was low. I’d be willing to live as a poor person if that meant not having to work. Actually, where I live now I live comfortably on $1200 a month. I definitely would choose not to work or work less if that money came free from government. If I got free money I wouldn’t increase spending, I would reduce work.
Not GP or French-speaking but what I got through auto-translate of the autosubs was tl;dw: When in exam mode one can access notes that it isn't supposed to allow (seemingly by performing the actions to create a new TI-BASIC “program” with the name of one that existed before entering exam mode, containing the notes).

> Congresspeople are not fishing for soundbites.

I mean, if you watch the questioning, it's very clear that they are.

Most Americans will take the UBI and do good things with it, not quit or change their job. It will boost the lower tiers up a notch and allow people to explore better options, ie Music Teacher, but that is nothing but beneficial. People that dont like heavy work shouldnt be doing it. It will give workers a bit more power of choice, but that isn't something to be scared of. There will always be workers to fill those jobs with good pay, no skill but they may rotate out more frequently. Blue collar workers -like me- normally find certain comfort in their jobs being outdoors, hard labor, and not contained to cubicle (or a room of kids lol).
Hard agree. 68010's few changes are minimal, but they add up and constitute what 68000 should have been but wasn't.

From the top of my head, besides the writing a proper stack frame for recovering from a bus error you describe, there's the vector base register so that the vectored interrupts and exceptions aren't forcibly defined at 0x0 anymore, an instruction that should have been privileged from the start (move from SR) is now privileged, an alternative that's not privileged (move from cr) is provided for specific cases where that's needed, and a hack to speed up short loops (one instruction + conditional branch) is implemented, saving instruction fetches in these cases and making it slightly faster than the 68000.
I think it’s even more so a matter of being time-consuming to do correct even if you know what to do...
In a microservice architecture. mTLS everywhere, proper PKI, fine-grained access for all users and services, keeping dependencies minimal, vetting updates, securing network, firewall rules, keeping security patches up to date... all this takes time and without strict processes it’s very easy to cut corners.

And what about that PoC that slowly transitioned to bring a production system?

> A change in perspective doesn’t fix a broken system.

You've just shown your bias by labeling the system broken, despite calling for a change in perspective.

may be it isn't broken from the point of view of the business owners. How would you know without first living from their perspective?
In complex systems, it's tempting to look for a silver bullet: If we only did "this".

This Capitalism 2.0 would also need to be a system of things that enables a new direction - whatever that may be - based on the fragile regression to the mean of what an expected aggregated view of that looks like.

UBI can or cannot be part of that system, but by itself it can quickly become irrelevant.

Most economic theories of capitalism are based on (mostly) rational behaviors of the majority of market participants. Social studies will show that in topics related to finances/money, behaviors are all over the place.

Want to drive towards Capitalism 2.0? Start with financial education, support systems, relevant incentives (maybe UBI is one of them) and a good shared vision of what that 2.0 is.
Would anybody please volunteer to tell us more about it?
You're probably not the target audience, to be honest.
my main argument is that humans only have so much sort term memory so compression is crucial for readability. Reading a proof is different than reading a book because you have to retain the whole thing with details in your mind not just vague ideas.
Basically, people can move to other areas, people can buy and rehabilitate housing stock with the extra income, competition between landlords, ...

I made a more detailed comment in response to a similar question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=237910967
Exactly. The key to making people happier is not to give them money, but create more jobs that give people meaning and purpose in their lives.
Really? So a CMOS driver that's driving a high logic level which is connected to a CMOS driver that's driving a low logic level won't get destroyed by the resultant short circuit?

As far as I understand (and I admit that I might be wrong here) a typical CMOS driver outputs a high logic level by connecting the output pin to Vcc (via a low-resistance FET) and it outputs a low logic level by connecting the output pin to GND (also via a low-resistance FET). And the circuit traces on the bus are also fairly low resistance. Wouldn't this short circuit result in dangerously high currents flowing?

Certainly high enough (>100mA) to violate the device's "absolute maximum ratings", the ones that you aren't supposed to exceed even momentarily?

I'd be very interested to hear more about the robustness of output drivers and the amount of abuse they can tolerate.
Probably the biggest change I expect is very undesirable jobs will either become automated or high paying because you have people thinking "I hate working as a toilet cleaner but it pays so much its worth it" Or we will end up with self cleaning toilets. There is no longer a whole class of people who will work any job no matter how shit and for the minimum wage because they are forced to.
The Facebook and Amazon Documents That Captivated the Hearing
It could cause inflation because the money velocity would increase (if you’re a disciple of Milton Friedman). The presumption is that the money taken from rich peoples (and company’s) savings, that they’re not spending, and giving it to people who would spend it every month would increase the velocity and potentially cause inflation.
IP theft seems to be a massively overhyped claim, and I do think that isn't the real driving force behind US policy. It is not as if IP theft has suddenly soared into an unbearable level as to force US to act suddenly. WTO surely has frameworks to handle such issues, but it is US who seems to find them inconvenient and is trying to seek unilateral means.

Even for example closing the Houston counsulate has been done on vague reasons, the US government should be transparent in explaining the specific reasons behind the action to the US public and the press, which hasn't been done till now.

Seen in light with other recent actions like sanctioning of companies working on the Nordstrom2 pipeline etc, US surely is acting up the role of international bully in recent days.
This is not atypical though, and it happens in non high tech industries. Why is this an issue?
Took me a minute, but it showed up in Google books:

This sounds about right. The query is using count and not sum which i believe can be a bit faster.

Yes. Branching will absolutely hurt. Good old x100 paper teaches how to avoid branching: http://cidrdb.org/cidr2005/papers/P19.pdf.

And of course there is no branching in MemSQL for this use case. And also no hashing b/c number of groups is small and you can use an array and not a hashtable.

Finally if you compress data rather than do the sum on an uncompressed array you will have a lot more compact data representation which would allow you not hit the memory bandwidth ceiling this quickly (4 threads)
Congrats to the Humanloop team for the launch!

Ivan chiming in from Datasaur here. As jordn pointed out, Datasaur does view itself as a full labeling platform, which encompasses an optimized labeling interface, a workforce management tool in addition to intelligence and active learning. Unlike Humanloop, we are focused solely on the labeling step of the process and do not offer a trained model at the end of the process. Our users have separate pipelines for this. Thanks for the question!
>landlords as well will be getting the 1000$ UBI

They get it and then it is instantly removed via taxes so their overall profits from UBI were $0. The only difference between UBI and unemployment/welfare is you don't have to apply for it, its simply calculated and distributed by the tax system.
You build your walls out of Peltier elements. On one side of capsule, hot side will be in, cold side out, the other side of the capsule, the reverse. And then you use the generated power to drive a laser to shoot the energy right back into the sun.
Worth noting that much of the markup on smaller quantity retail items and interest for the poor (or even middle class) works because of this mitigation if risk before profit-loss.
They aren't counting turn-based RPGs as 'action RPGs'.
Won’t it just be negated with increased cost of living?

Not unless landlords collude to fix prices. Competition will keep prices down, the same way that gas isn't always $4/gallon even though people will buy almost as much at that price as at $1.
This is pretty much the only counter argument you need to dismiss the whole concept.
But in America there are more empty houses than there are homeless people. Supply is not low. Maybe rent would go up in some markets (eg Bay Area), but people can move somewhere else. That’s the point of having a market system.

Yes UBI decreases market inefficiency, but the effect would be smallest on inelastic markets like housing. You’d see the biggest impact in the markets for the life-improving items/services that people with less money can’t afford right now, everything from fresh/healthy foods to nice shoes. The prices of those things would go up, but it would reflect an increase in demand.
Having air conditioning and modern medicine as well as clothes not patched together from potato sacks brings you pretty close to king level of comfort.
While we're all having fun watching people play with GPT-3 right now, I'm feeling the same itch on the back of my head I felt back in the mid-2000's when ordinary people started piling into social media and carrying the Internet around in their pocket. The nagging thought that this toylike tech could end up having an unpredictable effect on the world. What is the "Cambridge Analytica" moment of neural network tech going to look like?
68008 (1982) had 8bit bus, and some 68000 versions were made much later which supported both 8 and 16bit bus.

But of course, this was way too late for IBM PC (released 1981).

>It has one: there's no need to worry about finding a dark matter particle when there's no room in the standard model for one.

This is a weird argument. The standard model is incomplete, we know it's incomplete, we don't expect it to be complete, and MOND doesn't fit in the standard model either.

Even if you limit it to things we have observed, the standard model simply doesn't explain gravity. It doesn't explain why neutrinos have mass. It doesn't explain matter/antimatter asymmetry.

We know gravity exists. We know neutrinos have mass. We know there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. These aren't remotely controversial, and the standard model either doesn't incorporate them or gets them wrong.

Trust is too general a term to be very useful. I trust that amazon will get me my order swiftly, and that if it gets lost in transit or stolen from my front door, I will be made whole without any fuss. That is huge for them as a retailer. At the same time there are entire categories of products that I simply wont ever buy from them because I do not trust that the product is legit.

Demos got their international UUCP connection only in 1990. In 1989 they were playing with Moscow-only UUCP network. Everything was dialup based.

In 1991 they played with local TCP/IP in Moscow, in 1992 started to make dialup calls to Finland with SLIP instead of pure UUCP. Only in 1993 several permanent TCP/IP links from Russia (Demos, SOVAM Teleport, etc) to the West were finally established.
The proper analogy would be universal food stamps, rather than need-based, where everyone would begin to rely on the government for food.

If that's the case, then I would personally feel the same way!
All of this is based on the false premises we are super wealthy. We are not.
This is a curious thought, can you explain further?
Exactly. And to ensure people have the freedom to pursue the training and development, search time, or simply freedom to explore, a UBI would be immensely and wonderfully beneficial. Many folks will end up pursuing that which makes them the most happy, not solely the options on the table (which for many in current society is crumbs).

Honestly, I think they are. Americans have really weird beliefs and call anything that could benefit other people "socialism" but it seems fine when they hand out tax breaks to rich people.

In terms of distorting the job market, well UBI might just force the free-market to accept that people deserve a dignified life and get out of poverty. Why should a garbage man not get 42k instead of 30k?

A single land tax that pays its surplus out to the citizens is my vote for Capitalism 2.0:

Some libertarians advocate land value capture as a consistently
ethical and non-distortionary means to fund the essential operations
of government, the surplus rent being distributed as a type of
guaranteed basic income, traditionally called the citizen's dividend,
to compensate those members of society who by legal title have been
deprived of an equal share of the earth's spatial value and equal
access to natural opportunities. (See geolibertarianism)[1]

Not if you genuinely don't care about impressing anyone. A real programming job involves convincing someone your work is valuable enough to pay for. A welfare scam involves convincing someone you deserve free money. Both are too much social involvement if you prefer a hikikomori lifestyle of writing code nobody will ever use.

Zero users and loving it! is not necessarily hyperbole.

Fusion scientist here. Hydrogen-boron is 500x harder than deuterium-tritium to ignite, roughly speaking. NIF couldn't even do that. I don't believe that these two groups have hit on the solution. Yes, it would be nice to have aneutronic fusion, but right now we're struggling to get deuterium-tritium to work. One step at a time.
I think the open source model is fundamentally flawed and enables the big corporations to profit at the cost of the little people. The large corporations benefit disproportionately from open source as opposed to the maintainers. I thing what would be useful would be a programmer's "guild".

* There is a yearly due - say $100/year

* When you write software, you assign a license to anyone in the programmer's guild to be able to use that software. The requirement is that you have to contribute back changes.

* Only people in the programmer's guild can use that code.

* Anyone can join the programmer's guild, as long as they pay.

* A guild member can allocate up to half their year due to support a guild open source project or projects.

* You use the annual dues, to support widely used infrastructure that a lot of programmers are using. A big example would be NNTP

This has number of very nice benefits. First of all, it ensures a massive pool of money to support worthwhile open source projects, that everybody is using (think NNTP, or projects like that). With that pool of money, we could add benefits for guild members such as employment contract legal review, immigration assistance, etc. If you increased the annual dues, you would be able to do more, but at the cost of excluding more people.
I always hear the argument that UBI will essentially subsidize people's ability to pursue work that gives them meaning/purpose, particularly if it isn't highly valued (economically) by their local market.

Show HN: Client-side customer service callback system
Couldn't deal with waiting on hold anymore during coronavirus - seems like every customer service has > 30 minute hold times.

So I made myself a sort of client-side phone callback system: https://youcallme.io.

It initiates a conference call with you and the customer service line letting you enter the DTMF tones. Then you hang up while it waits for a human to be detected. Have been playing with a few different human detection approaches from call screening to a bit of ML. Once detected calls you back to join the conference.

So far has saved me 45 minutes with Questrade and 2 hours with CRA (Canada's IRS).
