I'll second that. I've been using e-mail since the 1980s and have never had a problem with receiving a legitimate e-mail. Banks and other businesses always tell you to add their notification addresses to your contact list to avoid their messages being marked as spam, but I've never found this to be necessary.

Why do we even need to ask what happens when the poor receive a stipend?

Go look in the inner cities. Go to the rural communities and find a trailer park. It's happening now. What has the result been?
I do what I love, and it pays the bills. In that regard, I am tremendously lucky.

But rent is due regardless. It's great to have passions, and things you like to do - those used to be called "hobbies".
Every time someone tries to explain why prototypes are so very much not classes, I can't help but come away thinking 'yeah potato/potato - so they're basically the same'. Be it Crockford, this guy, any of the 100 articles you find only when you go looking for it. Sure the nuances between languages are different, big deal - what is called 'class' in a dynamic language is very different from what is called 'class' in C++, yet everybody calls them classes and doesn't go around writing articles about how runtime-modifiable object blueprints really are fundamentally different from those that are set in compile time.
I would think one of the important elements here is that the sample is so small, allowing for less fraud and less room for overlooking errors in the payments. I think the effects would be similar on a larger scale, just as a guess, but the "headline making" fraud and mistakes would draw more negative reaction than they should.
Speaking for myself, you've got reliable delivery for the kinds of emails that matter least to users. I really don't care to receive most "transactional" emails and I definitely don't care about newsletters. Meanwhile, my experience with gmail is that I sometimes miss individual emails from human beings because they got caught in the spam filter. This state of affairs doesn't make email useless, but the system does seem to favor sophisticated bulk senders with tons of resources to devote to the problem over real people just trying to communicate something important.
You could pick one, publish it, and set an alias for all the other ones to go there and not fret about it much more. I've used help@ for a long time.
"If Yale censors this piece of software or punishes the software developer, it would clearly characterize Yale as an institution where having authority over students trumps freedom of speech."

I'm inclined to say that events in the last decade or so have made it more clear that pretty much all educational institutions everywhere have always been about making sure their authority over students trumps freedom of speech. Or rather, freedom of speech is only allowed on things that the administration approves of.
Not clear what you mean by "It's happening now." What's happening?
No. Most staunch opponents of wealth redistribution oppose it on principle, not practical terms. You can tell them in very concrete terms that their tax dollars will benefit them more than it would hurt them and their reply will be, "Well, then you should let me distribute my money that way instead of taking it and doing it yourself."
The author seems to be putting quite a bit of time into making these by hand. I wonder if it's possible to auto-generate these diagram/infographics for arbitrary food items and ingredient lists using nutritiondata.com and chemical databases.

As a language geek, I tend to hunt the Internet for old papers and manuals related to OS and languages.

The actual mainstream situation could be so different if the Xerox PARC research in terms of programming languages and OS besides the GUI, had become mainstream instead of the AT&T ones.

The Interlisp, Smalltalk and Mesa systems were great computing platforms compared with what UNIX offered.
I'm not sure that is really the best group to target though. The people who are simply against any redistribution, full stop, even if it works, are a minority in most countries and probably not necessary to a political coalition to do something about poverty.

A pretty large group, however, are people who think that poverty-fighting schemes would be good in principle, but they are skeptical whether such schemes work in practice. A common criticism is that what seems like a good idea ends up backfiring, is abused, produces dependency, etc. Many economists are in that group, of people who would support a poverty-reduction scheme if they thought it worked and didn't cause larger problems. I see that as the class of objections that these studies are looking to corroborate or refute.
For paradoxical effect, try: "Nobody sends e-mail anymore. There's just too much of it."

Haskell, by its lazy evaluation, is basically a macro-only language, and people seem to be doing fine in that end of the world.

Granted, space leak issues are pretty difficult to analyse, so it makes the language seem hard to use in practice, but that's because all the low-hanging fruit like type errors are solved by how the language is designed, so you only end up with the hard bugs.
>This post repeats two memes that float around the programming language space. One is: "it's so powerful that it's bad".

Also known as "less is more", which is a well established point in programming, and with a lot of historical examples to showcase it.

Well, were are the sucesfull large projects written in Lisp (from either number of happy users or monetary success perspective)? How many are they compared to other languages?

They aren't that many to begin with, so it could just be (self-)selection bias.

Forth people do fine using Forth too, but I don't see that as a point that it's an appropriate language for most projects and/or people.
the EU database directive only protects databases that are the result of a "substantial investment". That means that in practice only databases that are not a side effect of the core activities of the creator are protected. A course database would not qualify for protection under the database directive since the core activity is teaching, and not publishing courses online.
I am aware of that.

On my case, the remark I made had more to do with the fact that many developers tend to be unaware that these concepts also exist in other languages and could learn a bit by seeing them on the languages they originated from.

In what conceivable way do the people in a trailer park in a rural community receive a stipend? Your argument is incoherent and lacks a supporting argument.
So here's a question -- is it just the animation that helped, or is it the combination of the animation and being 20 years older? Or, more specifically, having the luxury of being able to throw brain power at the subject without having to worry about learning material for several other subjects, and many sub-topics within all those subjects, all at the same time.
Make-up. Buy make-up and give yourself bags under the eyes. Make sure to bathe semi-regularly, and never wear new clothes. If you have weekends off, wear your washed clothes on the weekend at the gym (or just do light exercise in them at home), so they'll be pre-sweated when you come to work the next day. Do your breaks in the restroom if you have to - since they're just 5 minutes every half hour, people shouldn't really notice, unless you have a tracking system.

Maybe putting on make-up isn't something you can pick up in a day (though you're trying to make yourself look bad, not good), but the rest of it should be fine. Basically - if you have to game the system to succeed, then think like a lying asshole sociopath. If you don't have a healthy management->employee relationship, I don't see any reason to try and maintain a healthy employee->management one.
Nothing about artificial selection in this instance is unnatural.
Through lots of study of psychology and sociology, I've changed from believing in do-what-you-love to believing in doing anything useful for mankind (but which has some interest for you) with people that you love (i.e., role models). Psychological flourishing has so many ties to our feedback from our social capital. The do-what-you-love mantra is too self-focused to really capture our requirements for total happiness. I've witnessed many people pursue their careers surrounded by assholes, living in misery, despite working on what they really like. Girls have it right by avoiding the tech industry (which has few role models for them, even if they like the subject matter).
This is a nice theory, a narrative that might be difficult to prove in practice, however.

On a more meta-level, though, people's political opinions influence their interpretation of statistics, so even if you did prove this ROI, cognitive disonance will fight you extremely hardly. Instead of trying to convince people who are against any form of wealth distribution, it's 1% as difficult to convice the people on the fence (of whom there are also 10x more) , those who are ok with some distribution, that this is a pretty effective replacement/complement for current services.
Orbit.js – A standalone library for data access and synchronization
It's risk, not a certain loss. And you don't "transfer" it, you sell it to a party that wants higher risk (for a fee).

Derivatives are nice, in that sometimes its possible to separate the risk out from the asset. Consider a $50k loan at 5% with a 1% risk of default.

A pension fund and a hedge fund both have capital, but the pension fund have extremely conservative investors and the hedge fund have extremely risk hungry investors. That loan is not a good investment for either.

So a derivative is created: the hedge fund agrees to make the pension fund good if the loan-taker defaults for a one-time fee of $550 (the cash-value of the 1% risk + a $50 fee). The pension fund now has a $49,450 loan (actually, it will be booked as a $50k load both paying a bit less that 5% interest - the exact amount depends on the running time of the loan) and a $0 risk budget and the hedge fund just made $50 + a 99% chance of $500 more. All are happy, including the loan-taker who might have struggled to get someone to load him money.

Why are people incredulous that China could produce an operating system? They have the skilled labor to do it.

I can get incredulity that they would want to - a chinese certified security inspected android/linux would do what is needed for less money. The US have security checked versions of opensource projects, and it would seem the best way to go. But government mandated projects produce not invented here solutions from time to time.

I write the above, but I think this isn't an argument about whether China could code an OS, or whether they would code it from scratch rather than basing it on opensource components.

I think a lot of Americans are uncomfortable with the idea of China designing what it manufactures, because 'what would we do'. Inevitably, as number of scientists and engineers in China, India, etc increases, more of this kind of work will be done elsewhere, but that doesn't mean the amount done in America has to decrease. The world can just do twice as much inventing, and the speed of progress can double. Or, y'know, you guys could pivot to Asia, and we can have a 3rd world war. I've seen fox news a couple times, so I'll be in my basement checking my water reserves.

That's not to be taken literally, you can be pretty sure the head of a hedge fund understands the system very well. He was just stating his priorities.
I'm always surprised people yell about the U.S. not wanting to help those in poverty. I think that's pretty well refuted by noting that the U.S. is #1 in charitable giving [1]. The bigger problem seems to be people trusting government imposed redistribution schemes rather than the rejection of them altogether.

Perhaps, but if the same conclusion holds for salaried workers outside construction (huge if, obviously), then you do want 60 hour weeks. The hourly case is also made more complicated by benefits.

The only thing I'm actually trying to say is that I don't know the right answer and I'd love it if all the people who do seem to know the right answer would cite some sources.
The problem with this, I think, is that people will quickly forget about the bad conditions that created the need for the stipend and only see the people using it for drugs. Politically, this works out to 'unfeasible'.

After all, isn't this almost exactly what food stamps are? Technically not a stipend, but they're pretty readily converted to cash on the secondary market.

Being an intelligent, highly adaptive, and prolific species means that we need to exercise a degree of self-restraint. In part because we are able to over-select through cultivation for genetically homogenous food sources, that are uniformly susceptible to even more adaptive microorganisms.
Well, it's probably a little more complicated than that.
Yes, if we define any actions taken by humans as "artificial", then it's "un-natural".

BUT, putting selective pressure on a plant to be more delicious and/or possibly nutritious is as natural with humans as it is with much of the animal kingdom. The edible fruit has an evolutionary incentive to taste better, and therefore produce more offspring.

Trying to assign a good or bad grade to this is exactly the naturalistic fallacy.

Is it even possible to be a billionaire without exploiting others?

Why wouldn't it be? Wealth is created, and if you can create a billion dollars in wealth, then so be it.

Even if so, is it right that you can be a billionaire while there are more empty homes each night in the US than the homeless population?

Depends on what you mean by "right". Is that a troubling, even disturbing situation? Yes, I would find it to be so. But is any particular billionaire (or any other particular individual at all) somehow obligated to fix the homelessness problem? No.

Is it right that you can safely eat anything you like while others have to make sacrifices and choices because of political cuts to SNAP? The answer is clearly no.

I would disagree, again with the caveat that it depends on what you mean by "right". I think I would rank that situation as "unfortunate", and I think we all wish the rich would do more to help the less fortunate. I know when I was dirt-poor, living below the poverty line, I resented the rich a bit, so I get this mindset. But as I've moved through life and seen what hard-work and determination can accomplish, and become more comfortable in my own skin, I find that I no longer cherish the idea of handouts greatly, except for the real edge cases: People who literally cannot fend for themselves - the elderly, children, people who are physically or mentally disabled, etc.

In this way, pursuing money for wealth's sake is unethical.

I guess this also depends on how you define unethical. Is a really rich person who does nothing to help the less fortunate a huge asshole? Arguably, yes. But is that the same thing as behaving unethically? I wouldn't say so. But I expect we have fundamentally differing worldviews on some basic issues, so I'm betting we'll always disagree on this.

Finally some comment explaining a specific problem involving macros.

First of all Clojure has a problem with Stack traces, other lisps are much nicer in that respect (but do not have to face the JVM).

Anyway, macros can be difficult to debug, I am sure you have heard and used of the tools that usually exist in lisps, macroexpand etc. Nevertheless macros are Transformations of the AST and thus not as easily traceable as function calls.

Nevertheless, when working with ClojureScript on a web-app, I grew really fond of the possibilities macros offer, possibilities that are hardly possible with JavaScript (HTML templating within ClojureScript code, etc.). http://blog.getprismatic.com/blog/2013/1/22/the-magic-of-mac...

I wrote some macros to help with HTML5 canvas contexts and these made my code a lot more reliable and readable.

The problem with keeping languages less powerful is, that you often end up with something like Java: Surely quite understandable when you look at a few lines of code, but in the end you need a whole lot of complicated patterns and best-practices, now you get hit by a boomerang at the back of your head.

Take away message: Macros should not be used on every occassion, but they are really helpful in central places.
The world's first holographic gaming system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Traveler_(video_game)
The outfall of WWII could perhaps be considered one of the largest instances of "stipends" (both domestically for the U.S. and overseas) ever perpetrated.

The outcomes, from my perspective, were "not so bad".

From my perspective, the question can be broken down to two points or serial steps:

1) Do people have the resources to take care of and improve themselves?

2) Do they use and apply those resources well?

Without 1), you can't have 2). And research appears to be showing that, given 1), people and extant systems are or can actually be pretty good at getting 2) right.

Otherwise, it seems to come down to poverty as the reason and excuse for perpetuating poverty. (AKA they -- or/and we -- aren't capable of any better. (And in some cases, don't appear to want any better -- "my, me, mine".))

I, for one, am not willing to accept and settle for such a perspective and approach.
