Looking at history, Socialist economies have a lot of other characteristics, though:

- Starting a business is illegal.

- You are required to work. Not working is illegal.

- Growing and eating your own food is illegal.

Illegal meaning you either go to a forced-labor camp, and are later killed after the State has extracted every last ounce of value, or the State executes you outright to send a message.

I am not proposing full employment. Consent and choice matter. If you don't want to work, don't work. Or start a business. Or be homeless. Your call.

But if you want to work, and can't find a job... let's fix that problem, and in doing so rebuild our infrastructure.
While I agree with you in general that there's this unnecessary division, in this instance it looks like it was organized by a women's magazine and its readers, so I think it would be fair to say that, same as if Playboy organized a thing it would be "men raised money for X".
Doesn't that article that you're commenting on address this?

The study found that the people on the UBI payments we're more likely to be employed than the reference group - Its clearly wildly incorrect to say that there's zero incentive to find work
No idea who downvoted you, thanks for the correction!
AT&T fiber customer here, I didn't even know I had HBO* until I got a paper mailing from them. I would never have purchased it otherwise as I find their pricing out of line with their content; pretty much what I think of every offering other than Disney+

Yeah, no app on my LG C9 but I can stream perfectly fine from my Verizon connected phone with the AT&T app and it looks and sounds great.

If anything the HBO debacle isn't a Net Neutrality issue but more of how bad a management team can fuck up a product launch. It is a product people know exist but don't know exactly what it is or how you get it and the confusion multiplied by too many names.

fwiw, my neighbor has three kids and between him and his wife they stream everything under the sun. Neither he nor I have ever seen cap issues so these might be regional or softly enforced.

also, be careful what you wish for, all utilities are metered and there is no guarantee a final construct for internet being a utility does not inflict that along with all sorts of associated fees to insure access beyond those we have now.
The reason people almost never mention the ethnic homogeneity is because it comes across incredibly bigoted. Put another way, it's basically saying that a strong social welfare state isn't possible in the US because it happens to have minorities - if only they could just get rid of them, there'd be no more obstacles!
One of the topics that could really be improved with a 3Blue1Brown treatment; but a diagram would do at a pinch - such as what Wikipedia has [0]. Looks like a good writeup nonetheless.

The Wikipedia picture doesn't quite convey the message though - PCA is a variable reduction technique. The Wiki picture could reduce the data from 2 dimensions (as shown) to 1 dimension (distance along the axis that you'd intuitively pick). PCA will let you pick the axis with minimum loss of information.

PCA is most useful when the data is really generated in a low number of changing dimensions (say, plant species & soil nutrients in a controlled experiment) but the data collected is high dimension (length, weight, colour, smell, no. pests, flavour rating by a team of chefs). PCA will tell you that there are really 2 important variables and how to construct them from the observed data - but it won't tell you what they are.

Aka, it has a real square root. Except not related to the concept of square roots or reals in any obviously meaningful way. The concept annoys me, somehow. It is a pity we have to learn algebra before matrices are meaningful.

Corbu got a few things right but he was off the mark when he said a house was a machine for living. A house cannot provides all the necessities for living, it must be integrated into a community. Monolithic buildings like this are an extension of his incorrect idea, they are the monoculture of urban design much like the suburb. We should take the good idea of simple and easy to manufacture buildings and use them to create human scale spaces that fulfill our needs as a community.
Mobile data is not a flat fee per month, they all have data caps above which you either start to pay extra or get a throughput comparable to POTS modem speeds. So it's not a viable replacement for the wired Internet connection everyone has at home.

> We have to this point been unable to produce such a measure

We have not been able to produce a precise measure. But we’re able to e.g. identify quartiles. Compressing the measure to “likely to graduate” tends to take care of a lot of the lifting.

That’s why a random selection component makes sense. It is honest about our limitations. And it removes the stigma from those who met the fuzzy threshold but didn’t get admitted.

I am not evangelist. Go error handling and pointers could be type safe, that's my real disappointment with it. I like its simplicity, but having a sane zero value for "almost everything" doesn't solve the problem.
For god's sake, if a website has to ask for permissions the browser is the "gatekeeper" I guess, and if the browser is made by google then in some sense google is the "gatekeeper", in the same sense in which google is the "gatekeeper" for desktop notifactions. Does this really justify the term "gatekeeping" or speculations about any dark plans of world conquest on google's part? Proposing an API, for which the website will have to ask the user for permission?

It’s difficult to estimate and I don’t know enough about that applications requirements either, but to give some kind of indication, two years ago I wrote a tool to control an LED (neopixel) strip, or, rather, to create an animation that would be played back on the neopixels. The animation was a json file containing a timeline of events and parameters (think “at time t fade pixels 2 through 10 from rgb x to rgb y over 5 seconds). You could have four parallel timelines that got blended together.

I wrote a GUI editing tool using QML that had three main UI elements: a visualisation of the LEDs, a properties widget and a timeline. It also had start, stop, rewind buttons so you could play the animation back on the visualisation panel. The visualisation panel was also interactive to select individual leds. The timeline had time labels at the top which you could click to select a time and four “swimlanes” where you could draw the effects on, which controlled start time and duration (the rest of the parameters could then be set in the properties window, for the selected effect).

The led visualisation and timeline components were custom made (I don’t remember if they were made using custom QSceneNodes, QOainter or composed out of nested QML elements). The end result wasn’t particularly pretty, but I was going for functionality over look and the audience was limited to myself and one other person. The entire application (including the code to actually drive the leds, which ran on a raspberry pi, but shared code with the GUI tool to make the playback in the UI as realistic as possible) took 3 to 4 days. I’m sure given a few weeks I could have made it look really slick and given a few months could have made the UX something I would be happy to have other users use.

So I don’t know how long your application would take me, especially if it has to look identical to what you have, but I have been quite productive in QML, even when custom components were needed.

I’m not trying to say it would have been a better choice for you, though, just that I often find Qt and QML being under appreciated and underrated.

Although the Qt companies recent behaviour and aggressiveness in getting people to switch from open source to paid license had really put me off to the point where I’m not sure I’d use it for a new project, but those reasons are all not related to anything technical.
What's the Difference Between a Lace Frontal and a Lace Closure
I am kind of against all of this, as it will inevitably lead to better fingerprinting. I already think its a serious breach of privacy that browsers supply hardware information such as joysticks and game controllers connected etc. without any kind of permission dialog.
This is even worse because it allows for malicious websites to absolutely pwn the living sh*t out of the end user.

Traffic shaping can still occur as they see your data volumes and the networks your connecting to. Sure it might not be as specific to the streaming service, but it should be decently possible to identify other streaming services, and any ISP-owned one.
I wish this made more sense to me, can someone help decipher this to someone who lacks context?

I'm always working on open source code and Linux but I have to be honest, I really don't understand the licensing outside of the very basics.

My understanding of why this might be bad for open source is that it means, code might end up being littered with GPL and Non-GPL contributions?

But would that actually be possible if the project where the contribution is made is GPL?

Thanks in advance!

It's always sad to see people at the risk of losing their job or the project they are working on. That being said, this Speech to Text engine always seemed to be more a distraction than anything else. There is of course a lot of pessimism at the moment toward Mozilla, and I subscribe to it for the most part, but if the recent changes and upcoming changes result in more focused projects and efforts that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
How to Apply Lace Front Wigs
The keyword here is "linking exception". It is a hack to sidestep the licensing problems caused by dynamic linking.
e.g. If I encase gcc in java, and release gcc.class under GPL3+, but use it extensively in a separate proprietary java program, does that infringe on the terms of the GPL? Does providing copies of the two together, with a single installer make a difference?

Blockchain has to be seen as a protocol is multiple layers. The transactions and ownership related data on stored on layer 0 or on chain. Anything to do with personal data or user data is stored on layer 1. Projects like Blockstack follows similar architecture. There are DApps available with non financial use-case.

I don't understand what Mozilla is. They re-upped the Google deal to the tune of $400-450million/year for the next 3 years, so their revenue is secure. That's great. I can also understand that it makes sense to cut some side-projects that are probably a distraction (and this one may very well fit that category). But if you cut funding to things like MDN, Servo/Rust and move away from Firefox as a core focus (the thing that just brought you another $1.2 billion) .. what the heck is Mozilla now?

It's the other way round. Google wants people to use chromebooks so that no other company controls the distribution. This is still about the search engine. Google doesn't want people to search some kind of app store, they want people to search the web - with google of course.
How would you do it? There isn't some generic "philosophy" curriculum. The works you study in such a course, including literature and the other arts, are arbitrary.

Either the test's philosophy section chases down so many long-tails that you get most of them wrong just to get one right, or the entirety of your philosophy experience comes down to a few topical questions on a test that just miss the topics your courses covered.

That's the curse of standardized tests and why they ultimately shrink the possible curricula to fit inside of them. Is it the students that really benefit from this? Or are they the ones that suffer from our attempts at making things measurable?
btrfs supports zero-copy file and block cloning which is very good for some applications, e.g. rr.
Can you elaborate on the reasons for using Fedora server instead?

Sure; but we don’t want to let perfect be the enemy of the good. “Fair capitalism” also doesn’t exist in society. But in both cases it’s worth asking - do we want more capitalism / meritocracy or do we want less? Is the problem that our assessment tools are too easy for rich people to game, or is the problem meritocracy itself?

Random selection would get obviously terrible outcomes too, but for different reasons. I’ve yet to hear anyone who complains about the inherent biases in meritocracy propose any system which isn’t just as pathological. Like, what does “fair” actually mean here? Should we select based on IQ tests? That’s illegal. Select based on conscientious? That biases for people who have free time - and hence it biases for wealth. Select randomly? Actually it turns out society benefits more from educating our best and brightest.

“Meritocracy“ is never perfect. But it’s better than any other system I can think of. Complaining is easy. If you were in charge, how would you make it better?
Yep, it's true for alcoholics, drug users, and gameaholics. I knew one gameaholic, which lived in hostel, and worked only when necessary. Most of the time, he played a game on his notebook.

> most people don't really learn and explore in their free time, and they don't have high requirements from life

Most people want luxuries associated with middle-class lifestyle, that is pretty clear. Reasonable UBI would be less than 1/4 of median wage, but there are not many people with median wage switching to quarter-time jobs and living ultra-frugal life while spending rest of their time playing videogames.

> Microsoft lost their case because they ABUSED of their dominant position, that's exactly what Apple is doing in the iOS market

Microsoft used their monopoly power in the operating system market to forcibly acquire market share in the web browser market. The case against Microsoft was based on their monopoly power.

Apple has no monopoly power so you cannot claim the situations are the same, sorry.

I've made my point. You seem more interested in off-topic ranting rather than engaging in good faith so I'm going to move on.

> randomly selecting therefrom admits this error

Well, it enlarges the error. All you have done is to add an additional source of noise on top of the existing one.

> and removes the stigma from those just below the previous, false cut-off

This it may do, it may well be psychologically easier to accept that you got unlucky on the coin flip rather than unlucky on which topic came up in question 13.

(Not sure what "false" means, the cut-off is a fact of how the system works.)
For buildings and apartment complexes, they usually have a dedicated switch/line (I don't know the technical term).

So, it's most likely that the cable got damaged due to bad weather (rainy season, laying out cable open to the sky), or the closest switch suffered a damage due to electricity fluctuations. These are the 2 main reasons for internet going down for that long. With me, it usually happens during a power cut. While I have UPS power backup and my router keeps running, it seems the local (geographical) area hub doesn't and internet goes down for 5 minutes.
There's actually an unlimited number of messages that will result in that hash. For all we know, that sha will also result from the hashing of "I'm a giant idiot" repeated an enormous number of times. I'd hazard a guess that there is probability 1 that this is the case.
> The software is theirs.

You are wrong

The case against Apple is based on three principle

- first sale doctrine: when I buy something I have the rights of redestributing it. Apple disallow it

- Any dependency on the future versions and upgrades for a proprietary software package can create vendor lock-in, entrenching a monopoly position.

- they have the rights to make software that only run on their hardware, the opposite is not implied, hardware is not theirs, they have no legal framework to make hardware that only runs their software. To be more explicit: iOS can be Apple only, but there's no right to make Apple HW iOS only. The hardware is not theirs.

> Their software, their rules.

False, again

Rules are not above laws.

If I make you sign a contract that in exchange for goods and services asks you for a testicle, I can't enforce it, even if you triple signed it with your blood.

> “Be careful what you wish for“. The unintended consequences of this interference are vast

I'm usually very careful

I'm sure they would be for Apple or for US economy

But I am Italian and don't rely on Apple existence, I don't care if they both burn into flames

In my country many companies already make billions by law, that means they are forced to supply the service at a reasonable price and can't refuse it for any reason which is not approved by a judge

It would be a very welcome improvement regarding US companies behaviour outside US

What's more interesting for me is that if I say "in Italy we all pay for public healthcare so it's almost free for everybody" they scream "communists"

If I say "the State should own a sufficient number of public buildings to give homes to those who can't afford it" they scream "communists"

Same when I say that in Italy insurance companies can't make their own prices and prices can't be discriminatory

These are all traits of modern welfare state that is widespread in Europe, despite not being communists

But when a company abuse of its powers acting like a real communist dictator, showing those behaviours that in US they imagine as being a communist, making rules and forcing everybody to obey them, even when they are debatable, many in US applaud

What would be the goal of UBE ?

"we have a job for you". Great, but I'm certain that it means most of the people doing those jobs would not like them and would no work great. Because being forced to do something you don't like/don't want to it not a good idea. For the ones being forced and for the ones working with them but liking what they do.

What is the point of all those inovations if it's not being able to tell to people : you don't wan't to work ? Great, you don't have to !

Today we have smart people doing jobs that give them enough wealth but they hate their jobs and instead they could be artists doing "nothing" but at they end they could be happy and maybe bring to society with their art.
We have no so smart people that do shitty jobs they hate because society needs someone to do it but the salary is shit, and those people are miserable. Instead they could do "nothing" and be happy, while we give real money to people deciding to do shitty jobs, or people creating solutions to avoid other people doing those shitty jobs.

Why having as much people as possible being able to do "nothing" isn't the ultimate goal of humanity ?
