Not sure it would happen as you describe it.

I don't understand why peoples with small income will suddenly feel entitled for a raise. After all they just got a 1000 euros raise on top of their small income?

For inflation I think the macro economic of Europe will not allow a drastic increase in prices. At least not in the prices of goods. Shops will still have to compete on prices and as there will probably be some people trying to live on the 1000 euro alone you might see very cheap shops flourish.

If there is enough vacancy in real estate, people that have now more money will be able to afford a nicer/bigger apartments and might just drive the price of the least interesting ones down. Landlords will be forced to fix their apartment or lower the price.

The situation at the end is that there a wealth redistribution that is guarantied and equal for everybody.

What's wrong with mayo? It's just eggs, oil, vinegar and a few spices. Seems pretty straightforward and far from an "abomination".

I mean don't eat it as a main course but throwing some into your chicken salad should be perfectly fine (and delicious...).

Isn't virtualenv going to be bundled too?
There are nearly 6000 hospitals in the USA with nearly a million beds.

That's a MASSIVE amount of overlapping resources. Yet every cost in a hospital, even to get to one via ambulance, is breath-taking.

There are countries with far fewer resources (ie. Canada) with far lower costs.
Unless you don't know which side of the device is "up." I have 4 devices on my desk and three of them "up" is the side with the screen.
We're not all building web apps in python - virtualenv is not universally useful.

Results of Cards Against Humanity science experiments
I don't know if it's excusable or not, but it may be incompatible with typical human cognition to expect someone to be able to do that.

Maybe you have to figure out a way to test people for unusually high aptitude at looking at mind-numbingly dull repetitive things over and over again, but then still being able to notice the aberrant ones. And then only put people in that job with unusually high aptitude there.

Or have people only do pretty short shifts at that task.

I'm pretty confident that this person wasn't unusually negligent, if you have most anyone doing that job hour after hour day after day they will lose the ability to flag the aberant stuff.

Universities collect funds. The excess of these funds, which are not required for the costs of maintaining the university, are distributed to professors and students (this is profit returned to investor; the professors invest time and opportunity cost while the students invest labor) in the form of internal grants. These professors and students then use the grants to develop technology, which they then use university funds to develop into companies (while also getting patent royalties from the OTL for having patented the tech and licensed it), which tend to then hire employees and donate funds back to the universities that fostered them.

This activity has caused many to question the tax-exempt status of universities. The purpose of tax exemption for universities is to promote education, not prevent universities in acting as for-profit institutions.

Some examples: the (complex and unique) example of Cooper Union.

Also:
http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Releases-Final-Report-on...

The audits identified some significant compliance issues at the colleges and universities examined,” said Lois Lerner, Director, Exempt Organizations division. “Because these issues may well be present elsewhere across the tax-exempt sector, all exempt organizations need to be aware of the importance of accurately reporting unrelated business income and providing appropriate executive compensation.”

Note the discussion of unrelated business income.

There is an active lawsuit against Princeton on similar grounds:
http://www.nj.com/mercer/index.ssf/2013/06/lawsuit_challengi...

from article: "The school’s policy of sharing patent royalties with faculty could cost the university an additional $20 to 30 million in taxes a year."

Please, do not ever tell somebody they are intellectually defective; it weakens your argument. Further, as I've demonstrated everything to support my case, in showing that there are 501c3 unviersity organizations which have been cited by the IRS for having violating the terms of that.
Exactly, and most basic income proposals would cut other social safety net systems in like amounts. So the net outlay by the government (in money it doesn't actually create; it just confiscates or prints) is the same. The latter gives the recipient the freedom to choose how to use their basic income, giving them incentive to select fair trades rather than just consuming all of the free stuff regardless of actual cost. This actually drives prices downward.

However, it does remove the political power of the central planning committees. And that is concerning to some.
Socialism in Europe manifested itself in the form of huge public sectors, where virtually everybody was guaranteed a job doing something; the complete opposite of this proposal.
Um, rah rah USB? okay...

This whole article can be summed up with the one sentence: >The big change next year will be a new USB PD (Power Delivery) standard, which brings much more flexibility and ten times as much oomph: up to 100 watts.

The remainder of the article seems to epicly overstate the benefits. I found the reaches out to multi-building solar panel connections especially "out there" and that's coming from someone who _loves_ solar panels. It's just that solar panels and the talk about "poor neighborhoods with no access to AC mains" are veerings straight off the deep end.

The reason data centers use DC is to keep the space-consuming transformers that go from AC to DC away from the dense, expensive racks of equipment. Most homes don't have that constraint. Yes, it's possible we'll have DC jacks alongside AC jacks in our homes, but will that really change our lives significantly?

There were posts about switching power supplies (and Apple's dubious claims to have invented them) on HN a few days ago. The consensus is they save space, but was that really worthy of being called a revolution? Only in the strictest most limited definition of the word.

Finally, w/r/t to the Internet of Things. This is where the writer's glib worship of updated standards is the most violent. _USB is not an internet network_. It requires a host. USB is not suited for it. Ethernet will win. Ethernet always wins.
so it's an instant way of hosting go? I think not.
oops, my bad!
But I don't think it's enough to go random on that. We need either a registry or more bits to go random.
Who is your sister?
Please see my reply on the other thread. I have demonstrated that the IRS found compliance issues in 503c universities which is clear demonstration of my point.
Sounds like you already have cost control in place.

In which case basic income guarantees could work.

In the USA it would become a predatory market to squeeze money from.

Thanks for the heads up. But the only IP I see in there is 172.31.254.1, which is the address we assign to the host in the VPN private network - part of the 172.16... range.

Have you found a real IP I've missed?
This is a simplification, but take a bell curve and flip it upside down and that graph applies to efficiency, economic cost, and ecological damage per watt for DC power supplies along the y-axis and wattage along the x-axis.

At 2013 technology levels its a real bad idea on many different levels to provide 100 total watts of DC power via 50 separate power supplies to 50 devices when you could have just one DC supply.

As an example of sillyness, imagine if every chip inside a desktop PC required a completely separate wall wart power supply instead of sharing one common DC supply. Thats basically what an elaborate laptop setup replicates if you have a lot of external devices, especially if you're proposing running your room lights off the same system, etc.

The same curve at the higher end rather than lower explains why you'll likely not be running a kitchen stove or a HVAC system off low voltage DC anytime soon. Although that would be intellectually interesting to see. A massive array of mosfets to switch, and power leads thicker than water pipes (maybe actual copper water pipes for cooling?). It would be a sight...
I don't agree with that. I'd say don't worry about south if you're just starting out playing with django and willing to manually delete tables every now and then to get make sure your db matches your models.

As soon as you are doing something that anyone relies on and to save you endless effort you should use South, IMO. Even if it's a one-person project (I have a few of those) South saves you both a lot of time and aggravation.
And my wife works for Nokia, so what? I also own mostly Apple stuff at home, work in research away from product, and was just excited that something cool was announced with windows for a change. Flagging an article is not the same as not up voting it; if flagging articles you don't want to see is how HN works, that is even worse!

I'm sure HN will be overflowing with Apple news when I wake up in the morning, but the Nokia story is interesting, why flag it so people can't see it even though it had enough up votes? That is just crappy. Instead we get a story about...,waiting for an event with no content at all (though this seems to have been flagged also).

This won't work. Prices will rise because ultimately there won't be enough supply to satisfy the increased demand of goods required at the most basic level of living. The only way to help the poor and unemployed is to find innovative ways to increase supply, which will lower the cost of producing said goods. This is why, in the United States, even the poorest citizens have access to food and housing - our government subsidizes the production of these products, which spurs an increase in supply and lowers the price.

The Powerpole "standard" has also been completely disregarded. The housing color is suppose to represent the voltage, but now it's been co-opted to the point where you see red and black as + and - 13.8v.
Hasty PRISM proofing considered harmful
The revolution started by Apple 15 years ago! Sorry PC guys, you stuck with PS/2 connectors for another 5-6 years.

http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/2785/did-apple-j...

I used to build my own PC's back then, and I could see the USB revolution coming. I waited, and waited, and waited... It took years for most PC motherboards to adopt USB. The complete lack of innovation in the PC market is frustrating. They're still mainly huge, ugly, trash can size devices.

Now, there's another great connector standard from Intel (Thunderbolt), and it basically gets almost no attention in the race to the bottom PC world.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/20/asus-thunderbolt2-motherb...

The need to support legacy and not adopt newer technologies, form factors, etc, really hurts the PC markets. If just 10% of this market adopted the Apple "screw legacy and give me great design", we'd get a lot cooler PC's.
Well, one problem is that you never really get it implemented in an hour. If I buy this, then I have to go through this massive design, figure out how they're doing things and figure out how it fits in my coded implementation and then go through an actually wire up all the code that I already have in place to actually make these templates work.

I'm really just trading one week of development time for one week of implementation time. Will the end product look prettier? For some people, sure. But for others, it's a massive leap of faith. And since I have no free entry point to wire things up with without first dropping the cash (in Euros, what is that in real money? ;) ), it's a huge barrier to entry.

I was about to go and grab this for a project I'm working on. The interface is clean and nice and I really like it. But since I can't evaluate it with my actual production codebase, it's a nonstarter. In a world with millions of free templates (of varying quality), one paid template is a big deal.

But you are right. I'll drop thousands of dollars on things that WILL make me slightly more productive as a developer. But I won't drop $20 on something that MIGHT potentially make me more productive.

Ethernet's magnetically isolated transcievers are a bit pricey, though. Recently I've been wondering about rallying the Arduino crowd behind RS485 or CANBUS for this sort of connected cheap device network.
Considering how many cheap Chinese knock-offs out there seem to go unpunished, I don't think the USB folks are really successful at enforcement.
How does it compete with OpenX? Why did you chose this product?

No, it's

2) Vagrant up

3) Wait for the results

4) Switch back

Apple Special Event October 2013 Live Stream
How do you know the other end of that cable is a mouse unless you dissect the mouse first?

How do you know the other end isn't flash storage? How do you know it isn't a USB hub with a flash device also connected so you'll never notice the mouse doesn't work? What if the mouse is set up to present flash storage with auto run only after it has been connected and left idle for at least a few hours?

USB is not often exploited... but that just means we currently have few defenses and little for security in place which becomes a concern if we start connecting our homes with it. And to other homes. And businesses.

a flavor of virtualenv was bundled in 3.3 (http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/) but without pip or easy_install it was a pretty useless feature IMO.
>>And based on your viewpoint, how successful are you at convincing others to "Get to Yes"?

If my goal is to get others to say yes it's not a discussion anymore. It's exercising power, manipulation, damage control. You name it. In such situations I am all for using emotional means - those get things done with people.

>Do you dryly put forth the facts and let the chips fall where they may?

Not "dryly", I usually have a lot of passion in finding ways to express my point clearly and convincingly. Other than that yeah, if I respect my discussion partners I will not go into condescending niceties. If I don't respect them as good arguers and just want to convince them then I roll out Dale Carnagie attitude - appeal to emotions, make them like you, make them accept your view because of it. It gets things done. It's also anti-intellectual in my view.

>unequivocally-logical suggestion may well be the only viable way out of a situation?

If I am sure (or arrogant) enough to think that my view is the only acceptable one then it's no longer about discussion. It's manipulation/exercising power mode.

>Do you ever have to build consensus amongst a team of smart, driven people who may not all be Turing-complete automatons?

If they are smart I assume I don't have monopoly for truth so I would avoid means appealing to emotions as far as I could. Maybe after all I am wrong and I don't want them to be more likely to accept my view because I am nice. If I am arrogant enough to think they are smart but I am smarter and my goal is to convince them then again - let Dale Carnagie guide me.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate showing respect. I appreciate making sure my discussion partners appreciate that I made effort to understand their view. Those matter a lot among the most rational of people.
If on the other hand someone starts with: "Let me first say I've learnt a lot from you, I really appreciated your view on this that and that. I think you are smart person blablabla" and follows with stuff of this kind before getting to the point I am immediately suspicious, with time impatient and then irritated.

I think such discussion culture is counter productive. It becomes socializing/power struggle - the merits of the argument takes secondrary position. It becomes important who is nice, who is liked, who is charismatic, who is good at invoking positive emotions. I don't want that anywhere where merits matter.
Ethernet is just part of the picture, allowing communication between homes but not necessarily between devices. Of course, since both California and Britain mandate ZigBee in their smartgrid projects you could say that ZigBee has already won, but that's at a level opaque to consumers.
For people starting with Web Framework or new to Python, I would suggest starting with a lightweight framework, such as Flask or Pylons.

I used to struggle with Django, so I started to look into Flask, and I really feel like I finally understood what I was doing.

How is that related to this story, however? This story is not about HFT -- unless I'm misreading or misunderstanding -- but instead about bog-standard retail order fulfillment. The fulfillment process had a bug that repeatedly kept filling the same orders repeatedly, leading to this issue.

This looks like it might eventually become a useful resource, as there is nothing else out there with its particular approach and combination of topics, and it seems fundamentally sound.

However, I wouldn't recommend trying to learn from it in its current form, unless you already know a lot.

Just skimming over it, I found that it was teeming with grammatical errors and typos, with entire sentences garbled to the point where I couldn't tell what the authors had intended to say. I saw syntax errors in the code samples, which means that they weren't all verified to run as printed. Again, not a real problem except for beginners, but beginners are the target audience.

Finally, there is some utility to the concept of prerequisite that the authors seem to avoid.

This book tries to teach the beginner everything that he might need to know, from what "ls" does in the shell to how to use git and set up virtual environments. Maybe it is practical to go from never having seen the command line to deploying working, secure Django projects just by using a (cleaned up version of) this book, but doesn't it make more sense to learn things in a more solid progression of stages? It's OK to expect the student to already know some basics, and build on those. You don't find a tutorial on arithmetic in a book about topology.

Neither. Both sound like recipes for disaster, and impossible to administer. In all seriousness, it's taken close to a decade for Wikipedia to develop policies, guidelines, enforcements and practices to deal with abuses and get decent information into articles about people.

Anyone who thinks it's easy to allow anyone to edit articles about people hasn't tried to do it before, or are just plum crazy!

Aside from rolling your own, what are some good alternatives?
My understanding is that the TypeScript team intend to TypeScript to always remain a superset. If you watch the various videos with Anders talking about it then that comes across pretty clearly.
