> The primary competitor, the government, has been set up by people explicitly to take benefit of the ultimate economy of scales, one where it is backed by the will and money of every single individual who believes in the Constitution which establishes and defines the role of the said government.

Pardon the snarkiness, but did you learn that in public school? I ask, because I had those ideas unabashedly hammered into my brain my entire childhood in government schools. The problem is that whether someone consents to the actions of government empirically does not matter. Even the founding fathers either deliberately perpetuated this clever lie or managed to deceive themselves like a lot of Enlightenment philosophers. "The consent of the governed" and so on.
I think a more important thing to consider is the huge price difference between the Kindle version and paperback. With the Kindle version so much cheaper there is no way I'd even consider the paperback. I think he'd do better overall if the Kindle version was $7-9 and the paperback was $12-15. (I have no data to back this up whatsoever). He'd be making more from the kindle version as you suggest but might also get more people who are willing to pay an extra few $ for the physical copy.

This is not requerment. First generation of WP7 phones had few curvy models, but square corners was a trend already. Flashy colours were popularised by Nokia, they had similar design before switching to Windows Phone, so HTC and Huawey just copied them for WP models. Samsung Ativ S is example of curvy black WP8 phone.
> At Seravo we hold the belief that in the long term, browser based HTML5 apps will be more important than native apps.

What is the "long term"? Has somebody actually managed to build a native HTML5-based UI that isn't a laggy and clumsy piece of shit yet? For example, webOS looked great but even the simplest lists scrolled with less than 30 frames per second. The videos I've seen of FxOS don't show much promise either (although those are running on really low-end hardware).

I'm really skeptical that trying to shoehorn something called "hypertext markup language" and a generic web rendering engine like WebKit into a UI toolkit is ever going to work smoothly. Even on my desktop computer complex sites can work slowly at times. But I'd love to be proven wrong.

I would think Upton Sinclair's statement would more likely apply: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"

And entrenched power interests rarely choose to give up their power willingly.

That said, I agree along the lines that the tech savvy can assist by making all/nearly all Internet communications encrypted sufficiently that those who wish to spy are once again searching for a needle in a haystack without the benefit of a large electromagnet.

Then it remains to educate non-savvy about the true costs of participation in "free" services. Maybe allowing the "creepiness" factor to be more prominently in evidence, as the images from the "naked body scanner" did for back-scatter scans.

What puzzles me about Jolla and it's Sailfish OS is the constant emphasis on being "truly open" when in fact the sources of the OS are nowhere to be found. They point you to projects such as Mer and say Sailfish OS is based on it but by the same logic Apple is "truly open" because OS X is based on Darwin.

I distinctly remember my physics I teacher in highschool giving the class the classic "You fire a bullet and drop a bullet at the same time" question, at the conclusion of a lecture on gravity. Barely a tenth of the class got it correct, even though they were capable of deducing the correct answer from what they had just learned.

Right. There are plenty of situations where a saver becomes richer, one of them is if an employer can make his employees work the same for less.

But you still haven't answered my question: why is the money producer - who makes sure we have inflation - a more deserving recipient of the increase in wealth from increased productivity than the money saver?
Now that I've bought his book for $5, i agree, he should raise the price of it :)

But I think the bigger thing is that price difference between the Paperback and the Kindle version. I see the Kindle at $5 and I think the value of the book is $5. And so to get it in print, I am paying $13 more for that. So the cost to print the paperback is $13. That's how I see it.

So i'd much rather see a smaller difference in price between the two. Show me the value of your book is actually $9, and the paperback is only, at most, $5 more.
Take a wild guess. I'm sure you can guess it.

The Lion's Gate Bridge, which I believe is the busiest bridge in Vancouver, BC, relatively recently upgraded their lighting to LED. It reduced power consumption by 90%, and saves the city $30,000/yr in energy and maintenance.

In addition to the power savings, the old bulbs lasted an average of 72 hours between replacements, while the new ones have an estimated lifetime of 12 years, and replacing them is the 'hidden' cost that a lot of people wouldn't normally consider (and replacing bulbs mounted on a bridge is even worse than replacing street lights).

In my opinion his page is quite well designed. It's easy to navigate, it's obvious whats navigation and whats content. The page is very readable, you see links easily. The page loads fast and is responsible in the sense that it usable on all devices and clients i tried (including my phone and w3m in a terminal).

I guess what you mean by "well-designed" is more colors and and images, but i prefer his page over those ajaxy blogspot-themes, which get completely unusable if you are on a phone-line-connection in a remote area, and a few other pages. And that even though i have nothing against good modern css in general :)

Ok, what if:

1. The person is already at normal BMI

2. Not smoking, no drugs, and no drinking

3. Doesn't drive

4. Not fit to adopt kids (not everybody is fit and we should never make this an incentive to get money. We had many horror stories of froster parents gaming the system to earn more money while neglecting kids). The best way to do this is to limit to 2-3 kids and pay based on the grades, not just because they have a kid.

5. Already took college classes or even graduated but there's not enough jobs in the field. This is one of the biggest problems we have in USA, a lot of high-class graduates but many of them just end up doing jobs that are not related to their majors because there's not enough jobs or the wages aren't enough.

By your logic, this person would be earning far less than the person who is fat, an alcoholic, adopted several kids, and just taking some boring classes that usually might not lead them to anything.

In fact, the main reason I'd support basic income is that it'd lead to people doing more for society than LogicialBorg's idea.

Why?

1. Mothers don't have to work two jobs to support their kids, they can actually spend more time home with their kids. Which would actually benefits our future, led by kids in stable homes. (over-simplication but this is one of the potential benefits).

2. Folks who can't do art projects, read or anything that'd improve their artistic side because they don't have the time or money to do so, would actually be able to do this with the basic income. They're not so stressed about making ends meet.

3. There are many folks where staying idle just upset them more, so they'd go out and do something useful and not have to worry about money to do it. They might be more motivated to do some menial jobs like taking care of elders, cleaning up the streets near them, and so on.

The reality is that the smarter we make our robotics, the less jobs there'll be for anybody, even those who did everything right to get a job, they just won't be able to find a job.
> People buy soda and milk with returnable bottles, walk outside, pour it out, return the bottles for cash, and buy a beer. This happens consistently at grocery stores.

No it doesn't, poor people aren't stupid; there's far simpler ways to convert food stamps to cash and poor people know them all and they certainly don't waste them like this. It's much simpler to buy groceries for someone else and take their cash for a dollar for dollar exchange.

I grew up poor, everyone I knew was on government assistance and they certainly did not and would not waste possible cash by dumping it out to get a few cents off a bottle.

I don't think we have past full employment. We are not even close to it, at all. I'll give you several entirely random but real examples. The street here needs new paving. There is no public transport in our town and no taxi after 6PM (need drivers and support staff). I need someone to fix my roof, and it's hard to find good one. There is a need of better trains, better cars, better software, better technologies, more original movies, better restaurants... And someone to check my teeth more frequently (zero good dentists in town). I have tons of work in my backyard as well. There are loads and loads of work to do, and it's all work which can't be automated. Work is not something that will ever finish unless of course we want to stop progress.

Yeah but it's not the UI that's laggy. It's mostly the library updates. I've got a Raspberry that takes 15 minutes to do a library scan, while my Ion takes about a minute, maybe 2. It depends on your use case of course, but when you use sickbeard, you end up doing library updates almost daily.

My alma mater recently switched to Scala for its intro courses, my undergrad thesis mentor really pushed for it and has written an intro textbook using Scala. He's also the reason I used Scala for my senior thesis, which led to me suggesting it at the startup I work for (first hire) and Scala becoming the basis of our backend.

I think the OP really nails the reasons Scala makes sense as an intro language. Students can start with simple concepts and gradually see how these lead to the complicated stuff.

I would hazard a guess and say its actually much lower than 44. Security will never be a business priority to most types of business, especially the ever struggling smb market.

At least not until there is fines imposed for improper handling of user/ customer data.

Its a cost benefit thing plain and simple.

Edit further on that, take Sony for example, lose 500k ccs along with user data, they just played the victim card and psn players rallied in their defence. They had some extremely negligent security practices and not a single fuck was given. This, this is the role model smb's have to look up to.

Maybe we need a crowd-funded effort to re-write novels like 1984 to make them more believable, and by that I mean far more terrifying.
I think many of us expected this. In previous years, much of the discussion and knowledge-sharing among web developers has been about ways to minimize page-loads, and about flash dying.

Nowadays with the proliferation of JS MV*, Node on the server-side, HTML5 games in JS, much of the focus and attention has been about how to find better performance in our JS code, how to more efficiently deal with the DOM and re-paints, how to get JS to a state where we can have a lot more complex games inside the browser. Also has to do with the nature of putting everyone on the client-side and the increased amounts of libraries being used (many of which are probably in the user's browser cache already).

That said, I'm not sure if it's the change in focus alone, or if it's also because many of the new-er web developers haven't yet been working for the web back when the discussion was about page-loads and when people cared more about supporting legacy-legacy-legacy browsers (I'm glad we're slowly letting that go...).

Regarding web fonts, well I guess it has to do with our obsession with pretty apps and thus, pretty fonts too.
