The iPad version was fantastic - looked great, ran great, and was completely absorbing. I'd read some criticism of the touch controls, but I only had a small amount of awkwardness with pinching and change-height gestures.

Your plan depends on everyone being able to work. There are a lot of illnesses and disabilities(physical and mental) that make that assertion not true. Would you have these people starve?
Cab drivers can protest their own backwards industry instead, which is exactly what they should have done a long time ago.

Then their existing industry can choose to compete in an actual market, instead of using the government to protect them from competition.
Perhaps it is. It doesn't alter the fact that that's how I honestly feel.

Edit:
and when I say broad I mean "general" i.e. you don't have to treat everything he is saying as gospel but it's hard to argue with the general gist of the post (at least in my opinion it is).
Youtube is doing the actual act of implementing the block, but the only reason youtube blocks anything is because the content owner requested it to be blocked. They play/allow everything they have the rights to. Google is not telling the indie labels "fuck you, you can't have your music on youtube", the labels are revoking youtube's licence to broadcast their works because they don't like the way youtube is planning to broadcast it.
No, why should it? Just because we've learnt neoliberalism is flawed doesn't mean we should unlearn that statism was also disastrous (in different ways).

Thanks for keeping on making my point :) There is no "we". There is you and some people that are in ideological agreement with you, but there is no we. Why do you have such a hard time understanding this?
Just look around your own company, (arbitrarily) less than 50% of your workforce creates (arbitrarily) 95% of the value.

That was not the case at my last company, as we were quite cutthroat about cutting away deadwood. But the company was in the marketing space, so arguably the entire company could just stay home and society would be no worse off.

But to answer your question - why does everybody need to work? Because most people are not natural aristocrats. They are not going to be tinkering in their home laboratories, crafting programming languages or writing ebooks. I fear that most people will degenerate in every manner if not subjected to the discipline of work. They will end up drinking and playing video games all day long. Furthermore, I think most people want to work, it provides purpose and fulfillment.

If we needed to create work on a massive scale (as opposed to just a stop gap for particular disadvantaged people) I would prefer that the government create some sort of massive, purposeful project. For instance, I'd love to see the U.S. president throw down the gauntlet and challenge China and the EU to race to Mars. (Although I'm not actually sure how many jobs such an endeavor would actually create).
What you're saying makes no sense.

Investors put money into businesses to grow the business, not support a formerly wealthy CEO's standard of lifestyle.

Those past predictions tell us that we weren't very good at predicting the coming of strong AI in the past, but it doesn't necessarily mean that current predictions are unreliable.
I agree that building a custom CMS is not the right answer in most circumstances. I'm not advocating building custom CMS. My position is that what has "always been a good candidate for an off-the-shelf CMS" is evolving. The traditional CMS will be losing ground at the high and low ends. On the high-end, long-form content organizations striving to differentiate are building their own systems focused on collaboration and content lifecycle features and, on the low-end, static site generators for custom websites. There is a middle, but the middle, over time, appears to be shrinking.
2 really productive people are more productive than 1 really productive person.

What is your point?
It's also relevant to the NYT's goal of surviving the digital shift. Giving the world a peek under the hood isn't just an interesting story, it's brand-building for a publication that wants to be seen as modern.
He isn't saying making solar panels is a bad idea. Rather, he is pointing out that, at the time of the interview, solar adoption in the US was limited by installation capacity, not production and management capacity. SolarCity has been working very hard an effectively on installing and managing rooftop solar systems, so it is possible that they are not limited on the production side, or that they have enough volume on the installation side to justify vertical integration.
Context: I'm a former copy editor with experience working for digital-only (e.g. Forbes.com) as well as print-driven magazines newspapers.

One of the things that's difficult when designing a CMS that works for both digital and print is that there are far fewer space constraints online than in print, and you want to ultimately generate an article that works in both formats. (Oh, and on mobile, and in a condensed version in a sister publication, and an expanded version for the wire.)

For hard news, the inverted pyramid format comes in handy -- if you don't have enough space in the print edition, you just lop off the last few paragraphs -- but for things like op/eds and magazine-style pieces, that doesn't always work.

What I'd love to see is a CMS (and, more fundamentally, a way of representing the underlying data) in which writers and editors can designate certain paragraphs or sentences or phrases as more important than others, so that even a story with a complex format can be dynamically "scaled," sort of like what web designers do with media queries, or what image editors do with seam carving.
Oh cool. Can we have the problems fifa caused in brasil in JSON as well?
You may very well be correct, but I read the 'cost of doing business' story as meaning that everyone is constantly getting prosecuted, and there is no way of escaping it, so you might as well just pay out the fine, and raise you prices, as all your competitors do. It doesn't really matter that you have to pay the fines if everyone else in your industry has to do the same, because it is not a competitive disadvantage.
Look, when a Fox News journalist says he needs to be with his family at the mall on Christmas eve to "create capitalism" I get a little worried. And sure, there are lots of cults built on these ideologies. But the ideologies themselves are not cults.
The Sparrow and Standard are "semi-active radar homing missiles", meaning that they have a radar seeker head and no emitter. They require an external illumination radar (from the aircraft or launch platform) to light up their target.

The AIM-120 uses a datalink to guide the missile close to the target, after which the missile's internal radar emitter goes active, and the missile locks onto the nearest target that it finds. This is because the radar on the missile is not nearly as powerful as the radar on the aircraft. So it's not truly a "fire and forget" missile, at least if a high probability of kill is desired. I believe the Phoenix is similar.
"The Man" does not exist, although interest groups certainly do, and the Iron Law of Oligarchy always holds, and I'm always willing to entertain conspiracy theories. But my impression is that the highway system was built because folks like Robert Moses and Ike genuinely thought it was the right thing to do. Cities were in fact massively overcrowded, jammed with congestion, and to be able to escape the tenements of New York and to be able to have the complete freedom to go anywhere in the countryside and have a picnic in a state park was an amazing advancement. What evidence do you have that the main driver behind car culture was conspiracy?

I'm genuinely curious why you think that he has a black and white view of society. It seems like the one-dimensional, black-and-white technocrat view you're ascribing to him wouldn't be in full support of "creating an sustaining a vigorous social safety net", right? The only arguments I've ever heard against "Don't hamper technological progress but provide a robust safety net to take care of those left behind" are the kind of blatantly cynical strawmen used in the article:

> Meanwhile, we don’t need to wait until a hypercapitalist techno-utopia emerges to do right by our struggling neighbors. We could make the choice to pay for universal health care, higher education, and a basic income tomorrow. Instead, you’re kicking the can down the road and hoping the can will turn into a robot with a market solution.

Isn't that Andreessen's whole fucking point? From reading his remarks, it seems evident that he _does_ think that we should "vote to pay for universal healthcare, higher education, and a basic income tomorrow". Who the hell said anything about _waiting_ for a hypercapitalist utopia? And how the hell is a "vigorous social safety net" hypercapitalist?
It's the law of the startup though. Scale as big as you can, as fast as possible.
You can believe you have a chance to be in the 1% of success stories while being pragmatic about the fact that you're likely not going to be.
No, that wouldn't make any sense. Fascism and Socialism are on the same side of the statism fence. Both are anti-free markets. Both argue in favor of a large, powerful government with full control over the economy. The sole variance between them is how they implement and direct their statist controls, not whether they do.

The left / right premise as far as Socialism and Fascism is concerned is a fraud.

I'm sure they ruled out the more obvious confounding variables. All else being equal, you would expect a result like they got, based on the null hypothesis that expensive CEOs are at least average among CEOs, combined with the suspicion that their hiring is not a random event. Factor in that the researchers were undoubtedly biased in favor of the outcome they found, and a lot of skepticism is justified in making sense of this.
I went to the best physics program in Sweden. It was pretty amazing and at something like $50 per year essentially free. In addition, the government provided ~$300 per month in assistance plus a low interest ~$900 loan.

Any good policy or form of governance (including socialism) will look bad if executed poorly.
From a coding perspective. I find that using 'Annotations' for security works really well in SPA and is extremely simple. It means that every RPC from the client has authorised checks.
I also assume that every unauthenticated request is forbidden, unless I have explicitly annotated the RPC method with anonymous access.
It's why Ayn Rand is so popular.
Good competition in the marketplace tends to be good for consumers. It's an interesting notion worth a second thought.
No, I said very clearly in my original comment that everyone gets a job, even schizophrenics and quadriplegics. There is something that everyone can do. If you are physically disabled you can monitor security cameras or transcribe city council recordings or something. If you are mentally disabled you can still probably pick up trash in city parks. There is some make work job available for almost anybody. The only exception would be the extreme mentally ill, who would need to be treated and provided supportive housing as they are now. But if you are mentally able, but just unwilling, then you go hungry. Or maybe you get a soup kitchen and a bed in a shelter. But in someway it will be unpleasant and hard, so as to disincentivize sloth.
Yes, you are clearly not their target market.

> why would they literally create work to share? I simply don't get it.

I don't think they did? You can send a pic as easy as ever. But there is "work" to receive it. If I want to see what a friend just sent me, I snap a pic of something and send it back.

I think this will easily have DAU numbers that most startups would kill for. Whether it'll be big enough to justify at Facebook, though, remains to be seen.
The SEC prosecution thing is interesting.

My view is that if businesses are viewing prosecution as merely a 'cost of doing business' then it is really evidence they are pretty ineffective as both an enforcement measure and a disincentive to breaking the rules.

(To make it clear, I'm not anti-market at all! I just think an effective and efficient market relies on the rule of law to function correctly)

Net regulations on banking and finance have increased drastically over the last 20 years. Indeed, regulation over the whole economy has increased drastically.

That's a fact that is easily demonstrated. The regulations are all public. The US economy is by far the most regulated economy on earth. There is no close second.

Yes, exactly. The economic right wing has a valid point, that many small business owners cannot bear the burden of a higher minimum wage. Asking a factory owner who is barely making payroll due to competition from China to boost his wages could be a death knell. The money for wage increases needs to come from those who are the big winners in the winner-takes-all-games that are technology and globalization.
Nonsense. If I can't find someone to go to the movies with me, I probably won't go. I care about this issue, and am willing to work toward it - and it might even be fundable through grants, and other philanthropy. So I'd recommend contacting me if it interests you.

I wouldn't knock yourself on the head about this. Most times the first time someone tastes success, they make someone else rich. It's only the second taste of success that makes you yourself rich.

I made my first boss quite wealthy with my software. But it allowed me to understand business and I learned well.

Try to use your experience to come up with ideas within the same industry/domain/etc. Did you sign a non-compete?
It's in the FAQ, you use the -4 or -6 parameters to curl to force it to connect one way or the other, and that controls which address gets updated.

Fair criticism. To be honest, I just (arrogantly) assumed we'd reached a point and accumulated enough evidence to remove any argument that the 20th century's experiments with communism and socialism and the recent 25 year infatuation with neoliberalism were anything other than overall failures. Judging by the down votes I'm getting, I'm clearly wrong and the idealogical battles rage on (mine included).

I've spoken to every Uber driver that I've ever had, every one in SF was on pace to make 6 figures this year and thrilled with it. Average seems to be 80-100k depending on how much you drive. Cab drivers have to work their asses off on someone else's terms to even approach that.
> the stubborn resistance to even using the credit card readers forced on them by utility commissions

They resisted it because it cost them money. When a corporation is forced to do something like this we call it burdensome regulation.

Fortunately for cabbies, fees overall are lower because Walmart won a massive lawsuit against Visa. That was back in 1996, but it looks like history is repeating itself: http://www.digitaltransactions.net/news/story/4587
Correct. I did this exact thing (used a junction point for my User directory) and could not upgrade from 8 to 8.1. Moved it back to "normal" and it went fine. This is a known "issue", so don't do junction points, just do the traditional "Move This Folder" for each special folder (Documents, Downloads, etc.)

Thank you! I will look into it ASAP!

Per what I've read elsewhere, and the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_missile), for long range attack the Phoenix has a rather unique flight profile, it climbs to 80,000 or so feet and cruises there, then dives down. Per the article, at 11 miles it activates its radar, and I'll bet given the distance and its bigger size, bigger antenna, it gets a bigger view than the AIM-120. Still, it has the capability of and uses course corrections from its plane.
Not from within the database yet (you'd have to add a cron job for now to periodically connect and call `r.http`). It's a great idea though, I'll see if we can add a timer primitive!

By "alone" do you mean not sharing just bedrooms or any rooms? Most new grads share an apartment with roommates but have their own bedroom.

I know many recent grads living in New York (myself included), mostly earning from $60k to $120k, and it's not a problem for any of us. What's tough is settling down with a family. But as a single person - especially with the additional savings you get by not owning a car - it's fine for tech salaries.

To make it more concrete, here's a budget:

$70k starting salary (low for NYC tech)

-$24,500 taxes (overestimated at 35% to be safe)

-$18,000 (1500*12) Manhattan rent + utilities

-$18,000 careless youth living expenses ($1.5k/month subway, eating out, bars, museums, music, traveling, etc)

______

$9,500 left over per year for saving.

So even underestimating salary, overestimating taxes, not choosing a super cheap apartment, and not being frugal in the slightest on monthly living expenses, you still net $9,500 per year.
They are teams competing for trophies, though; the trophy is your money/market share.

But beyond that, artificial competition could be a good thing. The large companies have a lot of advantages over the smaller companies, like economies of scale and name recognition, but they also have an incentive to stifle innovation (either directly or indirectly through the Innovator's Dilemma) and erect barriers to entry. Allowing smaller companies to "steal" CEOs helps offset some of those advantages. Even if they aren't well suited to that role, the name recognition alone can be an advantage (just look at SolarCity).

But I keep going back and forth on this. Set the salary cap too high, and the small companies can't steal the CEO away. Too low and it doesn't properly reward them for the difficulties of managing 200k+ person companies. A proper middle ground, if it exists, would be hard to find and need constant adjustments.
Drivers want you to pay cash because everything else involves a technology company (CC processor, Uber, or both) taking a cut of the sale and cash doesn't. If a tech startup were resisting middlemen in this way, we'd probably call it common-sense business acumen. When it's a taxi driver, he's the scum of the earth?

>do people really think that cabbies are aching to have apps between them and their customers that would thwart their ability to skip inconvenient fares or grab an easier ride on their way to a call?
