Basic income is a proposed economic solution that would change welfare such that everyone receives enough money to survive from the government and is therefore encouraged to work to earn money for greater comforts. It's been suggested that this model of welfare allows people to work less hours with other possible benefits.

I've not studied economics but I would expect there might be other proposals which could also be suitable for a society with far greater population than jobs.
Appstore optimization makes sense when you have 50 daily downloads but want to have 100. Relying on search results only wont make you lot of money there.

Anyway in most cases you can start with buggy SensorTower to find out what keywords will bring you more relevant traffic at lower competition. After than just keep tracking things with a free AppAnnie ASO tool.
And yet the Docklands Light Railway, also in London, and also under TfL control (though operation is outsourced to Serco, soon to be Keolis/Amey) has run without drivers (but with "train captains") for its entire history, over 25 years. And it does travel underground in places.
You (Americans) do... we (Europeans) don't, generally.
It says air cooled, not AC.

Up until now at least they didn't have a way to get rid of all the heat from that depth. Either they've fixed that now, or it's just air blowing around.
FWIW, my american born daughter (to us south Indian parents), started eating spicy food at the age of 1. She can bat down spicy chicken and fish to make both her grandmothers proud.

Another commenter mentioned http://watson-um-demo.mybluemix.net/demo above, so I threw this together in bash for reddit comments. Bit more of a pain that entering a username, but if you take this:

function redcom(){ ! [ -z "$2" ] && i="&after=$2" || i=""; data=$(curl -s "https://www.reddit.com/user/${1}/comments.json?count=100${i}"); j=$(jq -e -r '.data["after"]' <<<$data); echo $j; (jq -e -r '.data["children"][]["data"]["body"]' <<<$data)>>${1}-redcom.txt; echo $(echo -e $data|wc -l) lines; ( [ "$j" = "null" ] || [ -z "$j" ] ) || redcom $1 $j ;} ;

run it in bash, then run redcom <user>, it should throw all your comments into <user>-redcom.txt which you can then copy/paste to http://watson-um-demo.mybluemix.net/demo
Or I do none of that, and patch. Same as when Apache has a bug, or when Java does.
Just slightly. Might be that they are equally as good as SensorTower. I just got used to SensorTower early on, and have been using them since.

Also tried Appcod.es for a while, but the seemed to stop improving their service.

Anybody else who knows other potential good tools for keyword optimisation?

Eight Nobel Prizes have been awarded for work completed at Bell Laboratories.
Being called a "customer" instead of a pasenger makes me want to scream with rage every time I hear it, especially when I imagine the consultants and marketing gonks employed, and their fees, to push through this utterly pointless bit of linguistic chicanery.

All I want is air-cooling as I'm sure the number of using the tube by 2020 will increase by 70% and we will still have to cram in...
I couldn't agree with you more. I wish they'd sorted the heat issue on the new Routemaster Buses. Even with the 'cooling', they were unbearable this summer.

Yeah, I doubt it's going to make a huge difference but any improvement is welcome. I was reading something recently (may have been on HN) about the difficulties of removing heat from that depth. Maybe they've come up with a solution.
Continue or Quit?
Please share your experiences and suggestions.
It is my first start-up, we had known each other for little over a year when we decided to work together,we have been in this start up for last 6 months.
I have no idea if this situation is common or is it a special case but there is a clash of personalities between me and my co-founder. If I have to summarize, I would say that my co-founder is a "Controlling Person" (commonly called as "control freak") . Although I don't mind him being the way he is, I see that he has trust and communication issues too. As a co-founder I expect him to trust me on some matters at least and communicate with me in a timely manner when he has an issue with what I do or not do or how I do something instead of going around my back or in some cases holding grudges and then complaining about those things after 2,3 months.
I am an optimist so at several occasions when things went bad I tried to solve them positively, after discussions we reached a conclusion and things started to seem better. But looking back at our issue resolving conversations now, I realize that not once in those discussions he admitted that what he did was wrong. He probably never even considered the possibility that his attitude might be needing some improvements.

Question in my mind is that should I quit or continue with him for a month or two to see if we can get along?

just to be clear I have nothing to gain by separating, I'll be the one who leaves the affairs of our company, reason being when we were deciding roles and responsibilities he choose to be the CEO because he wanted to eliminate the possibility of other co-founders kicking him out of his own company, which I agreed because I wanted to give him space to be comfortable so that we could work together.

You can get most of the value by keeping a VM with a minimal install of e.g. OpenBSD. SourceForge used to offer a cluster of various OSes where you could test your releases, I don't know if that's still running.
Interestingly, when they were first brought into use they were renowned for being cold. In the intervening period the continual use has heated the surrounding ground enough to make air temperature a problem.
I suspect you underestimate how much you spend on food, most people do. Whenever this conversation comes up with my friends I always spend over double what they claim. I trust my estimation much more since I actually have records through splitwise on how much I have spent on groceries for each month. Maybe you should do an experiment to see how much you are really spending.

Partly true. You can only go so far with keywords at a specific time.

However, the approach isn't totally unscalable, as you can work your way up to targeting more and more trafficked keywords as your app grows.

An exptremely important part of ASO is to keep on doing it every time you update your app.

Didnt the tube just get a bunch of new trains in the last couple years? I seem to remember there being a big deal about it because some of the long serving train drivers retired rather than learned how to work the computerised ones.
It's not only about intellectual jobs; it's also about more powerful abstractions.
With the same resources spent on the same amount of workers for example, a company will produce more than in the past.
It's not necessarily true that in such conditions, the company would choose to keep the productivity constant employing less workers.
It's kind of crazy to think that the platform-side doors will increase service capacity by removing the ability for people to commit suicide in front of trains.

The frequency with which there is "a passenger under a train" must have a tangible effect on tube capacity.
1. Nice, I think we all agree it's the best solution to give something back to the early-adoptors.

2. Good. There are just so many useful tools for a MVP-projects in your Startup-plan (and some in the Project-plan). You should move most, if not all of them to the Developer-plan. I just think it makes really sense for you to go for the Mixpanel and Stripe-approach of getting as many web products tighly integrated with you at the earliest time possible (at the MVP-stage).

Maybe it makes sense to limit integration in the short term (forces some people to go premium), but I think it'll be better for you in the long term to lower the bar of integrating with you. My experience is that once integrated with you, there is no turning back:)
I'm the developer behind this project. Been working on it with a friend for a while, and the next stage of development really requires a full-time commitment, which is what we're hoping to achieve through the Kickstarter.

Well that was one part of the presentation that surprised me, I never expected the trains to not be cooled and heated. This may be simple ignorance on my part having not used most public transport systems, so is this common for underground services? How is humidity on these lines?
Blocksign: Sign legal documents using the blockchain
1) This is actually not that clear cut. Both , and . are used and it depends on context which is used where (usually within the same business sector the guidelines are consistent).

2) Actually, I find it much more confusing that people are constantly using . and , for two completely different functions and not get confused about it. Mistaking a . for a , and vice-versa is quite easy.

And that not even considers the likely confusion for people coming from countries with different rules.

OTOH an ' is highly distinct visually from both a , and . so it's always clear that it can't be the decimal separator.
How to kill team motivation in 10 simple steps
You pay to go on the tube. You can choose not to. That makes you a customer of the tube.

Far better surely that such a system is designed in mind that someone might choose not to use it than that they'll get whatever they're given. I'm not sure why you would be outraged by this.
Different lines have different trains. The shallow level lines got new trains recently, because the lines were built using cut and cover (like in NYC), they were easily able to add air conditioning.

These trains are for some of the deeper level lines that were built by using tunnelling machine to bore deep underground.
Mobile phone network, for 2g and 3g. Stockholm has them, so surely it can't be that hard.

I know this doesn't affect the trains directly, but surely it's something they have to take into consideration, especially during their announcement of their plans until 2060 god damn it.

London keeps boasting "best city in the world, best city in the world", yet its citizens are under increasing work pressure, and simultaneously cannot send or receive emails during their daily commute.

Sure they have wifi in the stations, but by the time you login (assuming you're paying because see, it's not free) you train has arrived.

I remember my holiday in Tel Aviv. I was skyping on the beach, on public free wifi.

Then I return to London, and nope, back to being offline, while on my way to a high tech job. And we're supposed to be a cutting edge city? Explain how.

Yes, on the lines that are not so deep, like the circle, metropolitan etc. Cooling these trains down is significantly easier than the very deep lines, as the heat from the AC can be chucked straight out into the open air. Deep underground there's nowhere for it to go.
Calling people who pay to go on the tube a customer makes much more sense than when (say) the police refer to people as customers....
I believe that was the Circle, District, Hammersmith/City and Met lines.
Hilarious. Do they also invent an email standard and a currency?

Why not ditch checks and just set up a reliable/cheap money transfer system? It's peculiar how the country that is at the epicenter of the world economy and the Internet doesn't actually use the Internet for money related things (tax returns, banking, insurance...).

Did they always have train captains ? I know there have been incidents (like a gang of kids chasing someone onto the tracks to be run over), that might have made them introduce "train captains".

London has very mild weather. In developed countries public transit is usually climate controlled in less mild climates.
>Part of me thinks this will lead to make much more apparent the paradox of capitalism: Those with the most money can... make the most money.

This is not workable. Capitalism value is built on having people transfer their assets (money) in exchange for products and services. For this to work it needs paid laborers, not just in order to create the stuff but also to form the large market that buys it.

One could conceive of a future society were automators can make everything and those "automated" don't have anything to do. But that society wont be capitalistic anymore, as it wont contain any market (the majority of the people, those automated wont be part of any market).
How about localisation?
Platform overcrowding is also an issue, and passengers are often held back in the ticket hall or outside, because of how dangerous it would be to put more people on an open platform.

With platform-side doors, you don't need to stand behind the yellow line.

It isn't just one-unders, but the fact that the train can't safely move off when there are passengers right up against the train.
Pablo the Flamingo – WebGL (Also Try Stoping the Music)
It's not just that - it's the delay whilst people hold the doors, get their bags/umbrellas/coats/legs stuck in them, etc. With the (over)tight scheduling of the timetable, one train being delayed by a minute can cause a knock-on for a considerable time.

I guess (though I don't use the tube, I can't verify) that the platform-side doors help control this kind of behaviour.

(There was a link going round a year or two ago about (IIRC) New York improving service reliability by reducing the flow and introducing slack into the timetable but I can't currently find it. Lots of academic research into this topic though.)

I'm not Indian but spicy food is effectively introduced pre-birth. The nutrient range that one gets from ones mother pre-birth appears to have a bearing on ones taste later. Certainly some flavours are passed on to breast-milk, eg http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2452382/Mothers-shown-how-to....

The first solids one of my kids (UK) had was Thai green curry, at 5 months, but it wasn't very spicy. Our kids just ate what we eat when they were ready to ween [move on to solid foods]; I can imagine this is probably quite common and so in many cultures if the adults are eating spicy food then the kids are from the time they begin to ween.
Why is this top of HN? These trains, even modernised, are years behind other underground systems like Hong Kong... And this won't even be out for years.

It's nice news for London commuters, but hardly "Hacker News". Flagged.
When creating trains for a service that is growing in usage on a consistent basis you can either future proof it (i.e. make it bigger/better than it needs to be right now so that it can survive X years of growth) or you can not future proof it (i.e. make it exactly what's needed right now and a year later you're wishing you could upgrade it). It's the same reason when you buy a computer you think about the next year or two of use rather than your previous year or two of use.

Besides, 1982 was a very different time compared to 2012. China wasn't as much of a world player in manufacturing etc yet (and Japan was only beginning to get big).

In the last 10-15 years though?

Reminds me of the lack of old paintings where the moon is out in the day. There are still some (not very observant) people wondering around who think the moon only comes out at night. A friend and I spent a while arguing with someone who swore that the clearly visible moon must be a funny round cloud as it was daytime.

edit - I would love for someone to point me out a sunlit painting with the moon visible that predates the 20th century, I haven't yet found one, though my search has not been exhaustive.
I didn't look closely, 'his or her' is just a habit.
The Era of “Proactive” Software
Keep in mind section "Systems and lines with ATO and human driver (Grade of Automation 2)": most tube lines are already automated (to a point), it's just that there's still someone seating there at the helm.
Every site has something that can be cached. Images, js, headers, popular product lists, etc.

If a specific page item can be cached is really up to if the backend application takes cookie state into account when the page item is made.

The Varnish default of not caching anything when cookies are present is because we have no idea if the backend writes "Welcome back, krat0sprakhar!" when it sees the username in an incoming cookie. Sending that item to every user would be unfortunate.

Other than that, I'd recommend you evaluate your needs and not just pick a technology. If your page response times are low enough already, and your backends/appservers scale to as many concurrent buyers you think you need, you're good without Varnish/caching.
Building and Running Your ASP.NET VNext Application with Gulp
I'm no expert, but I imagine the most cost effective way to do this would be to have wifi along the lines rather than on the trains themselves - even if I'm wrong about that, installing wifi onto a train isn't something that needs to be built into the train from conception, and is something that anything they plan into it now will probably be obsolete in its tech standards by the time these trains launch in ~10 years.

On the subject of current station wifi - who has to pay? Certainly for me (Vodafone customer) I get it free, it's still provided by Virgin but they give a semi-whitelabelled login page for Vodafone (I don't have to login, it just takes 10 seconds when it opens the authentication page and verifies me on the network). I also find it great (albeit not as great as solid coverage all along the line) to be able to hook back onto the network as I travel through stations. It doesn't require me to re-auth each time, so essentially every minute or two my phone can sync emails, twitter, whatsapp, etc. leaving me the actual driving time between stations for reading/responding as needed.
