Cool project. I did something similar myself very recently, except I just used a spreadsheet, and I didn't look at the whole country. I was focused on cities out west. I found a list on Forbes of the 200 best cities to start a business (which I would like to do) and used that as a starting point. I then combined that with walk score, cost of living relative to minimum wage, average temperature (I want to be somewhere warm), and crime data. I even searched each city on OkCupid to see how many people had at least a 90% match to me relative to the city's population, which was an indicator that people in the area tend to think the way I do. In other words, it meant I would be able to make friends and get along with people if I moved there.

Using all of that data, I gave each category a rank based on how important it was, and tallied the results. My top three cities were Vallejo, CA, San Francisco, and Olympia, WA. I've never been to any of those places, but I want to leave Ohio. At least now I know where to start looking.

>> Even assuming that BI provided a standard of living equivalent to minimum wage (which the levels that have generally been proposed don't, even if one assumes no inflationary effect from BI itself, which is naive)

But TFA said it would replace social security payments. Is that more than minimum wage? at $10 per hour and about 160 hr per month that's $1600 per month. I believe social security pays better than that for many people.
"Guaranteed" means the government -- ultimately -- guarantees the banks that they'll get their money. But what that really means is that the borrower of a student loan lacks almost all of the consumer protections that any other borrow has. The government will garnish any wages, social security or disability checks, or anything else they can get their hands on. And that goes on until the debt is paid or you die.
I don't ask for help, I just want to know if people are really trying to create a bot. Currently 90% of games are between only two AI. ("wolfie vs wolfie vs arthropod vs arthropod"). A competition like this one is much more interesting if there is a lot of players.

Those are interesting bits:

"Maintaining its current arsenal of over 10,000 nuclear warheads costs the United States approximately $31 billion annually."

"Firstly, the force is too big. Without the need to target Russia’s strategic forces there simply are not enough plausible aim-points in the world for US nuclear weapons that would require 1,500–2,000 operationally deployed warheads. For example, in an extreme crisis, perhaps 50–100 nuclear weapons at most would be needed to threaten devastation on Iran, North Korea or China. "
Thanks. I was trying to stay away from the external factors like email/internet as those are pretty obvious and focus more an issues when you actually working and not being distracted :D.
It's a site full of problems, which generally require some mixture of math and programming skills to solve. You can trade off between the two. If your math is good enough, some problems can be solved with pencil and paper. If your programming is decent, some can be solved by brute force search. There's no time limit, you don't show anyone your code, you just type a brief answer into a text field, so the only constraint on the efficiency of your code is how long you're willing to leave it running.

It's a lot of fun; the math involved can get pretty advanced on some of the problems.

That's a really shitty definition of entitlement. Social Security is an entitlement because people pay into the system and expect to effectively get their money back - they are entitled because they deserve it. Medicare might also be called and entitlement.

While I think tax breaks for the rich are handouts (a penny saved is a penny earned right?) I wouldn't call those entitlements either.

"Eventually" is not sufficient, certainly not for security-related software. More generally, unless one is able to devote a sizable amount of time to a project, the "activation energy" threshold for good ideas to result in actual code is never reached.

> There is a real problem here, OTOH, it could be addressed (thinking of the smallest change from the status quo plus BI situation, rather than necessarily the ideal solution under BI) with an Obamacare-style health insurance purchase mandate, possibly with a provision for default assignment to a qualified plan -- whether public or privately-offered -- if one isn't actively selected.)

This doesn't solve any of the problem.

Health Insurance doesn't magically make health costs go down, collective bargaining for prices certainly does reduce prices, but there is a minimum.

Medicare is government subsidized health care plain and simple. If you remove that subsidy, people will end up paying more.

Yes in a sane country health care doesn't cost nearly as much as it does in America, but old people have a lot of health problems.

I used to reboot my Solaris workstation once a month. A friend mocked me--"Still in that Windows mentality". I replied, "No, I reboot it to make sure I still can".

When he rebooted his machine (after almost a year) and it failed to come up, I got to mock him back. "So can you remember what changes you made... in the last year".

On the other hand, even though I've never used it, ksplice must be a nifty way to apply urgent updates between regularly scheduled reboots.
> Companies are not inherently evil

You're right, companies are inherently amoral. If their pursuit of profit happens to be moral, all the better, but don't expect them to rescind immoral policies if it means it'll hurt profit and nobody with any power is around to put on pressure to make them stop.

When they do awful things, those poor persecuted businessmen can always count on apologists like you to come to their defence though.

> Remember that some "censorship" is good.

What you're describing as "good censorship" doesn't actually require any censorship at all. All you need is a mechanism to notify users (or their client software) that a name is designated as malicious. Then the user or the user's client can decide what to do with that information, including ignoring the designation and connecting to the address anyway. That way it can't be used for censorship but it can be used to put ye olde red screen of malware alert in front of the user.
Why do you say that AI will automatically increase inequality? Not necessarily disagreeing but interested to hear your thoughts. I'm also wary of the impact that AI and robotics may have but am cautiously optimistic. While I do think that many jobs will be displaced by automation, I wonder if we'll also see a labor revolution or rather emergence of a new sector/type of jobs. E.F. Schumacher talked a lot about the dehumanizing nature of many jobs, and I think in a perfect world automation and robotics could take over the repetitive or dangerous jobs, freeing those workers to take on more fulfilling and important jobs.

Yeah I mean when you are actually coding though. I guess a better question would have been what "mental challenges" do you experience while actually coding.
Obviously the cameras should be

* always on
* encrypted (public key, the Court should have the private key)
* have a GPS lock
* automatically sync when they are in car and or back at base
* be on the cellular network (timestamps and crypto signature of the captured stream), could even transmit officer vitals and location in realtime, could also sync in realtime over 4g connections

The officers should not be able to turn them off or review the video. Missing footage would be fireable offense.

I'd probably favor framerate and luminance over chroma. Maybe have a high resolution color still every n seconds interleaved with BW quad-hd stream.

I wonder how these hard to measure metrics really translate into more sales, more cash flow, especially when majority of Snapchat users are creditcard less adolescents and starving undergraduates.

Maybe as Google is attempting to cover all aspects of search, Facebook is doing the same when it comes to social networking, but unlike search which has a very narrow definition of expected outcome and objective that translates into shifting the user's attention to relevant ads (I google to get specific information, might be interested in relevant ads that provide more of it), social networking is a lot more uncertain, lot of more elusive goals (I chat on fb or look up someone on FB for laying, friendship) that is resistant to anything that will take the attention away from the social engagement...in large the giant user base is useless while the cost of maintaining such large infrastructure behind it outgrows the actual revenues....it makes very little sense as to why FB would go out of their way to support social networks that serves no other purpose than use up their resources but shareholders seem to think that "there's no way they will screw up monetization, it will happen eventually and match Google to justify the inflated valuation one day" with little analysis on cash. Unless the rules of business have changed that they can purely live on investors hopes of a rosy future rather than net positive cash flow indicate a bubble.
The solution is to just not explain how it works, the public doesn't need to understand how it works to use it and to trust it.

If people who advocated for the web explained the entire networking stack every time they tried to get people to use it they'd miss how it helps them.
I mean, how many engines are there, actually? Also, how many of them have source that hasn't been lost to the mists of time?

One of the big issues, for example, is that engines may contain tech that isn't easily stripped out--Source, for example, has bits (I believe) from Miles Audio and also from Havok, and as such they can't just go handing out their code without fixing those licensing concerns.

Not unused. Uninitialized.

E.g. in older GCC you would get
int x;
switch (!!foo) {
case 0:x=0;break;
case 1:x=1;break;
/no default/
}
print(..x)

Or many other cases and the compiler will give an erroneous uninitialized warning. you can assign x to itself at the stop to eliminate the warning without changing the generated code.

I don't get this. I could easily transcribe anything I could write in a day into a diagrammatic representation. Hell, I could do it for anything I could write given a large enough whiteboard. It might consist of complicated flow diagrams or fragments of mathematics, but it would convey the salient points. This seems like fanatical code worship, "code is the only appropriate representation for all analytic thought". Nonsense. Maths, state diagrams, uml, even prose are useful and in combination adequate languages.

I think it is important to point out that although it is billed as an Infinite Mile Warranty, that is only for the 85 KWh version of the car, the 60 MWh version has a limit of 125,000 miles. That is still a lot of miles, and I think quite reasonable for a drive train warranty; I just wish they would have come out and said it instead of needing to dig into what the warranty for a 65KWh battery would be.

So because someone can't manage to get paid to do $arbitrary_thing and get their choice of $arbitrary_payment it's okay for them do do things that violate the normal bounds of good and honest conduct and run some sketchy investment scheme?

I don't buy it. If you need to get paid and can't get paid to do what you want to do, perhaps you should consider doing something else? We don't all get what we want at all times.

I'm working on scheduling problems at StaffJoy - shoot me an email (philip at staffjoy dot com) if you are interested in the field.

We are revising classic OR scheduling methods to fit small workforces. With fewer workers comes fewer constraints and more canonical solutions, so just minimizing cost does not always create the best schedules - in fact, with little or no increase in net employee hours worked per week you can make cleaner schedules that prevent things like "clopens" and give employees consecutive days off every week.

We are accomplishing better small-workforce schedules using a two-stage nonlinear model that first minimizes net employee hours (cost), then holds that minimized sum as a constraint (plus optional flexibility) to pick the canonical schedule that meets "nice to have" criteria, like letting employees pick preferred shifts ("I like to work mornings").

To learn more about the difficulties in scheduling, check out the "Nurse scheduling problem":

The question I want to ask is, are generic CPUs now fast enough that people no longer need faster CPUs? I have an i7-4771 on my desktop (bought instead of 4770K because I wanted TSX... thanks Intel ;), and I can't really imagine much use for an even faster CPU unless I'm gaming or doing heavy compute work.
Well if you assume one charge per day (say in your garage over night), you get 265 miles/day * (365 days * 8 years + 2 leap days) = 774,330 miles total.

If you're doing games (or apps that don't require native UI), I strongly recommend HaXe/OpenFL (http://www.openfl.org/) for crossplatform+native. It's what I used for Lightbot (http://light-bot.com/) and a few other games. Best Game of the Year Winner (according to multiple sources) "Papers Please" was also built on it.

Again, its native UI support is lacking (ie Keyboard, Input Textfield interactions) but otherwise the framework is opensource, solid, and compiles to native from HaXe (based on a similar structure as Actionscript 3) including to Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Flash, HTML5+WebGL and more.

They also have a great list of apps developed with their platform at http://www.openfl.org/showcase/

I am really surprised that anyone would need this, but it definitely doesn't hurt. From what I can see, it serves static sites only. I... kind of... never needed that.
