If it's not a Right, it can be taken away....and if UBI ever appears, it will definitely never be elevated to a Right.

Practically speaking, if UBI ever appears, there are some basic assumptions that seem straightforward:

1. There will be a level at which your income means you won't get it. This makes sense, there's no practical value in sending someone making $750k a year a check for $1k a month. Indeed these people will decline UBI to avoid the strings attached.

2. Behavioral strings will be attached just like a Driver's License. I mean, why wouldn't a government do this? No President will be re-elected offering to send $1k/month to a newly-convicted rapist, the public will cast outrage votes.

3. Recipients will be crash-test-dummies for new government digital currency initiatives which will include insane levels of tracking.

In short, with UBI you will sell your freedom for a check and the recipients will be a new underclass that is clearly identified.

I think those have super easy to answer! All up-to-date OS-es support stateless autoconfig now, so forget about DHCPv6. Just disable it and everything will work magically.

6to4, 6in4, 6rd are legacy transition technologies, not needed when you have IPv6, so don't worry.
Anecdote. Where I live a lot of the school bus drivers were doing it just for supplemental income not for their livelihood. Many quit. My wife was a bus driver and we decided for her not to go back to work. They could have paid her double or triple and the answer would be no.
> It's basically not possible, for example, to make a classic sites website mobile responsive.

Huh? Did that 10 years ago. Perhaps we have a different definition of a "classic site".

To me a "classic site" is another name for a static site, that is, a website where the HTML to be served is pregenerated. Static sites are now coming back, not going away. But I always assumed that a website should reflow.

Perhaps when you say "classic site" you mean "site that assumes that all users have the same display size". I agree that such classic sites are nonsense today. But they were always nonsense. At no time was there a guarantee of any particular screen size for HTML, and it's always been easy to write HTML that just reflows. If you do that, your site works just fine.
What I was getting at can be reduced to a single word — a single letter, even: C. The fact that any software is written in C (or C++) is IMHO sufficient proof that the developers care more about performance than they do about anything else.

I think that still holds even if they demonstrably do not care about performance all that much! You are quite right: current software is heavier and slower than it used to be and than it needs to be; it is also less safe and is more difficult to develop than it needs to be.

The popularity of things like Java or JavaScript is another disfunction: although they are very different from one another, they are similar in that they have poor syntax, frighteningly bad ergonomics and poor semantics. They require too much boilerplate (in very different ways) and are insufficiently expressive and powerful. They are not even as much safer as they should be, given their memory safety!

Our industry is appallingly immature.

Applied Materials Says New Tool Breaks Chip Resistance Bottleneck
I distinctly remember their experiments with inlining ads "ethically", and all the discussion about that by outsiders, and how the "ethically" part quietly went away and they settled on "clearly trying to trick people". I have no inside knowledge but can only speculate that those early experiments shot the profitability arrow so hard upward, and that every tweak making the results more deceptive did so even more, that they just couldn't resist becoming... well, what they became after that. And nearly all the difference between their numbers before and after those tweaks are, plainly, due to deception.

[EDIT] also and again directly related to their inlining of ads with search results, I've noticed a trend even among the reasonably tech-savvy to click an ad that is what they wanted... even when the natural result is just a couple entries under it. That's not sending people to the wrong place but it is gaining Google money from something that is exactly and entirely rent-seeking, as in it could go in an encyclopedia as a perfect and unequivocal real-world example.
Third, Dodd-Frank domestically and Basel III rules internationally make banks hold far more safe capital on their books precisely to cushion against a shock like this. Turns out those rules work.
We have a BMW i3. Being electric it has quite the acceleration. When we first got it, my gf was trying out the adaptive cruise control, our first time with such fancy stuff. It was following the car in front of us nicely at 30-40 kph (20-25 mph) and it was overall quite a nice experience.

That is until we got to a rather tight roundabout (inner turn radius of just 2m or so). The car in front slowed down and entered, but as it drove around the roundabout, our car suddenly accelerated aggressively. My gf panicked but fortunately managed to avoid an accident.

Turned out she had forgotten to adjust down the adaptive cruise control when we had entered the slower streets as we had had a car in front all the time, so it was still set to 60 kph (40 mph). As the car in front turned in the roundabout, our car no longer detected the obstacle that had slowed it down and tried to reach set speed. I guess since the delta between current speed and set speed was so large, the acceleration was rather aggressive compared to earlier.

I am a data scientist and software developer with a passion for mathematical modelling and sciences(natural and social sciences). I have experience in competitive mathematics & physics and a degree in computer science. I will be starting a postgraduate degree this autumn at Imperial College London. I am looking for part-time/contract/flexible work.
I printed out an eye chart and have consistent lighting in a room where I use it. My eyes have not improved in the past 5 years of doing exercises on and off.

I recommend printing an eye chart and testing yourself w/ the same lighting and distance from the chart.

Also, keep me updated please (if you remember to, post here or something), genuinely interested.

I am tempted to buy a huge screen and place it across the room from me to have the focus point further away.

I think part of the problem might be that it's focused on one place, rather than close focus. But I guess it's better to be focused further away.
uBlock Origin whitelists nothing. You decide what to let in.

I've noticed it blocks carbonads, ethicalads and even ads on DDG.

I turned it off on DDG and notepad++ sites, to let ads through. If you want you can too.

there's another one where you command-tab to an app and then press the down arrow to see all the windows associated with it. and then when use the arrow keys to select the window and then you hit enter it will raise that window from the dock or the background.
From the article:

>WebRTC does not pose a substantially different risk than other video conferencing solutions, but the decision to include video conferencing in an application introduces a large remote attack surface that wouldn’t be there otherwise.

Adding features pretty much always takes away from security. This seems to be a pretty good example of the principle.
I have zero interest in this project, but disagree that it "doesn't do any good" to share. People with similar inclinations and interests can collaborate on software that isn't ready, but that scratches their itch.

Theres nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't create unrealistic expectations.

Directly threathening to execute someone maybe. But "Fire in a crowded theater" has not been part of jurisprudence for... 40 years. The US has very, very limited free speech restrictions.

It's an interesting problem because it's akin to going to a cocktail party and having idle chit chat and then someone brings up politics. Even if you agree with the politics of the person, by introducing it into the discussion, you have no choice but to "take a side" and agree with them on things (or not). All of a sudden, some nice banter has turned into a serious discussion. There's a time and place for those discussions, and the problem with twitter is that the discussions are ALWAYS going on, rendering it useless as a place for idle chat.
Failure to take off means that instead of getting a long tail of things that work, you get a smaller island of reduced functionality, even if that is enough to keep you using it.

It doesn't have to be the goal of the project or the author, but there are real advantages to achieving a takeoff, even to the users of a product.
Neil Stephenson's book "Reamde" talks about almost our current reality, where ever more effective disinformation campaigns lead to many people not understanding actual reality, leading to the internet being the "miasma". When I go on social media I have the feeling of being exposed to endless crackpot and misleading comments, basically the miasma.
My point was that when ⌘(key) is already assigned to something, Apple sometimes still introduces a ⌘⇧(key) shortcut for another thing, creating a conflict because it’s the same keypress. Sometimes they don’t notice until years later.

Example:
Apple chose ⌘⇧/ to focus the help search box but didn’t consider that ⌘/ already toggles line comments in many editors and IDEs.

Some app teams at Apple even double-assign ⌘(key), creating a conflict with a system-wide (localized) shortcut.

Example:
On German macOS, ⌘< means Next window but a few years ago, Xcode introduced the same ⌘< shortcut for stuff like Edit Scheme, a menu command the average developer probably uses at most a few dozen times a year. Next window though is super important.

Fortunately, it’s all customizable on the user side so I’m not too angry at Apple. I just have a little weltschmerz about my language having so many umlauts, forcing keyboard designers to demote so many characters to ⇧.
The difference is that money is a source of control for it and is needed for fiscal transactions which are readily regulated compared to data exchange. It is far easier to send a Gigabyte of IP packets to North Korea than to send 25 cents.

Bitcoin and others dreamed of it for currency but it has failed for several reasons.
> Google can't spin off tools successfully because their internal codebases are deeply reliant on assumptions about Google's infrastructure and Google internal libraries, etc. (for example: Google Reader could not be spun off

This is a not a likely speculation. Did reader really require anything special that doesn’t already exist as a Google Cloud API? Or majority of their killed products honestly?

Or to look another way, do you think anyone who has a cloud services platform (Microsoft, Amazon, Google) can really afford having a separate, divergent infrastructure internally? Haven’t these services started for utilizing excess capacity and economies of scale of existing infrastructure?

Also you are idealizing code reuse, especially at scale. When you take a dependency the arrow goes both ways and now there is a cost for depended breaking things too. Each integration potentially creates non-trivial friction points, if not we would have open source code of the world converge towards a single codebase organically already.

In fact suprised they have only just done this!
I agree with your sentiment, but the problem is that there is no "we", there are only a variety of different people with different interests and incentives, all muddled by a series of government actions intended to help.

My opinion is that there are a number of business models which are simply untenable in the current pandemic and taxation climate, like water-front bars. Many people are 'sticking' to these troubled businesses, with hopes of improvement; the reality is that their tax obligations, facility costs (including rent/mortgage), and general cost structure will not allow them to survive.

Thanks I have asked another poster to fill me in because maybe I'm too old school and yelling at kids to get off my lawn. I might have to shut up now for a while until I run away and get back up to speed in this arena.

But I have used react, vue, jquery, and my favourite which is just plain old JS and to me this is just generating templates with a different DOM structure and class semantics. IDK it just seems like this is not something I'd want to retrofit but would have to adopt as a standard to see any value long-term over a bunch of projects.

Usually I am more measured in my responses but this time I tried to just say what I am thinking (screw my ignorance) so maybe I can learn a thing or two.

Thanks for responding.
FWIW, Apple's Power Macintosh 8500, released 25 years ago tomorrow, started at 120MHz & 16MB RAM, but went up to 200MHz & 512MB RAM.

As I recall, it was pretty snappy! I think it would still have been sufficiently snappy had its OS been written in Smalltalk or Lisp …

And yet Amazon Web Services manages to STILL support SimpleDB. Many years (nearly a decade?) after being deprecated.

This sounds like a money problem to me. The argument is that people have to do boring work.

Yes they do, and isn’t that what money is for?
Agreed! It's also worth highlighting the bit where he asks Elon Musk: https://youtu.be/cIQ36Kt7UVg?t=382

I've internally asked this question so many times,
like, guys, shouldn't we maybe do an aerospike?

Musk focused on the high combustion efficiency of traditional combustion chambers, combined with the high efficiency of having two stages, as the reason why they won out. Jettisoning irrelevant fuel-containing mass as you go is great for efficiency and as a bonus it makes it easy to put sea-level-optimized nozzles on the bottom stage and vacuum-optimized nozzles on the top stage.
* mob of uninformed
Interesting. My feelings are, restaurants just don't have the demand anyways, and if private security and casinos do, why can't they raise their wages?

I still personally think the crux is lack of demand. I don't think the customers exist anymore that would be willing to pay enough to account for the extra cost of the business given Covid. And one of those cost include safety precautions to their employees.

As an example, Amazon was able to hire 175000 additional workers through the pandemic, even though they were getting unemployment checks.

So I think it's naive to think that removing unemployment is what will save those business. But I'm not a zealot on this, that's just my current rationale. I'm welcoming counter points.

Crony capitalism is something that doesn't exist. It is all capitalism. For example, Facebook using the support of the US government to control markets around the world (while TikTok is banned) is just capitalism. MZ's fortune can only happen due to this marriage of capitalism and government.
The Great Distancing
Yes! With a robust, livable UBI, even without a minimum wage, you wouldn't see $2/hr jobs. Can you think of a job you'd personally take for an extra $2/hr if your needs were already being met by UBI? Wages would have to be set to a level that incentivize working. Shitty jobs would actually have to pay more than fun or easy jobs, because "not taking the job" is always a realistic option.
Without any additional constraints (e.g. that users/documents are clustered, that each user only has access to a small or large subset of documents, etc...) there aren't any great solutions. No matter the data structure, with n documents and m users you need on average at least nm bits in addition to the space to store the documents. Document insertion is at least an O(m) operation, and user insertion is at least an O(n) operation (for any fixed data structure on average across all possible user-document mappings of that size).
a) You're acting as if no one earning a good salary saves up for taking risks later.

Thanks. It's good to hear you are someone who knows me.

My rhetorical question was not meant as an attack on your intelligence, and I apologize if it came over like that.

I agree with your common ground. I will not disagree on the desire to be cautious. Putting down measures to prevent spying is justified.

I'm just doubting whether that is the actual intention of the US govt. Let's say that they require that all foreign companies that process user data must undergo periodic security audits. That would be an actual, practical, fair solution. I have no problems with that. But that is not what is being proposed here by the US govt.

The Microsoft sale should have been the ultimate solution: replace all personnel with US personnel, use US servers only. Yet the US govt is still forging ahead with the ban, providing Tiktok with no way to solve this peacefully.

And now, they are banning Wechat. An app that nobody in the US uses except Chinese people to keep in touch with friends and family. How is this protecting national security?

I am only against the disingenuousness of it all. I am frustrated at the fact that so many people, in their zeal to oppose China (note: not making a value judgement here on whether that zeal is justified, just stating the fact that the zeal exists), don't see this disingenuousness.
"slants far left" and "banned all conservatives" are incredibly different claims. If you mean "slants far left", but say "banned all conservatives", nobody is going to take anything you say you seriously.
I think the correct terms would be "web search engine" or "web search" and "search engine" or "full-text search engine". Wikipedia says "web search engine". But I agree, the ubiquity of Google as the "search engine" makes it a bit muddy to acknowledge that a search engine is any program or system that is used to search data. It's an interesting information retrieval concept that can be applied to many things.
> Perhaps we have a different definition of a "classic site".

GP didn't say “classic site” they said “classic sites website”. You seem to be interpreting that as intended to be a somewhat redundant and mispunctuated rendering of “classic site’s website”, but given that the context is a discussion for the shutdown of Google’s classic Sites in favor of only supporting Google’s new Sites mode, I think that it's just a capitalization-omitted rendering of “classic Sites website”, that is, a website using classic Google Sites as opposed to new Google Sites.
HIBP (or an eavesdropping attacker) can’t really assume that your password is in the list. There’s an essentially infinite number of passwords that would result in a hash ending with 5BAA6. “password” may be the most likely if it was in the list, but surely attackers would have been guessing commonly used passwords either way.

If your password is in the list, you should probably be changing. It being bad is how it ended up in the list.
It's more generic than that. For basic general purpose computing with some calculation and where performance is of some importance, I can design and ship the whole thing via something like Lazarus in 5-10 MB, or -- from my understanding -- 130+ MB in Julia. I understand that this might be just asking Julia to break out a bit too far out of its intended use case, but it would be nice.
