I traveled around India for about 6 months. I was happy to give initially, but being taken advantage of over and over took a toll. Beggars tried to emotionally exploit my girlfriend, sending their young kids at her to literally grab at her pant legs and make the motion for food. She'd give them money. When we passed by an hour later the same kid would be at my girlfriend again for more. She ended up crying a couple times a month because we didn't have much money, certainly not enough to hand out.

I'm now indifferent to even brutal poverty.
My post said nothing of the sort. Trying to justify your shitposting by saying I am to blame for your assumptions is ridiculous. If you don't know about the subject, don't post about it as if you are an authority.

Here's what I want to know: We have Cisco phones, and when I get a VM, the phone's message light comes on. I also get an email with the MP3. If I delete that email without opening it, the message light goes off on the phone within a few seconds. We use gmail for our company email.

How on earth do they do that???
Thanks for the link, I must have missed it in the above post.
Nice work, Egor.
So this is probably a little Capitalist, but isn't the reason we're not working 3 hours a day the fact that the owners of capital capture allocate investment towards technological advancements? In other words, technology is more sought after if you can allocate research towards a robot at a high up front cost with small ongoing costs.

On a macro level, I see this as a economy optimizing for technological expansion over leisure. Worker man says shitty, then pulls out his magical pocket sized supercomputer on the bus ride home at 6pm.

I wonder how this reasoning applies to human foetuses ... If the argument that killing is a necessity for free-er sex is judged to be moral, then how could you possibly judge against someone killing for survival ? Hell, how could you possible hold killing for fun against someone ?

> But this is simply crony capitalism. There may be risk, but there is no crime here. At all.

That is where you are quite wrong. The regulations of taxis goes way back to carriage regulations in the 19th century. The reason for this is clear: to ensure that the vehicle is maintained, the driver doesn't have a history of attacking or abducting passengers, and that pricing is transparent and passengers aren't gouged.

Taxis are not private transportation, period. They are a form of public transportation and function more like a transit utility. To not offer basic regulation of taxis is to leave the public at large in significant danger of being ripped off, maimed, and/or assaulted.
> Are my tires making the correct noise?

Seriously? You have to spend a lot of time worrying about stuff like that?

If you're stuck in a crawling rush hour commute, your only concern might be to not rear-end the car in front of you. Commutes in general are often described as being boring and routine, not something that you have to have your senses heightened in order to escape from with your life: think about driving along the highway for 15 minutes, straight ahead.

> Yes, listening to audio while driving can be enjoyable, but it is a secondary task to not dying or not killing someone else.

Of course, the usual fearmongering. We're talking about listening to audiobooks, not blasting techno or death metal at obscene volumes so that you can't hear your surroundings. Driving a car is a pretty routine task which, while we should always have respect for the terrible destructive power it has, being constantly worried about everything that might possibly go wrong is just going to sizzle our nerves. Just being alert and present in the moment is sufficient for a lot of routine driving.
There are broad swaths in this community who are unwilling to understand the targets of their disruption - similar to those unwilling to understand why something that seems obtuse is the prescribed solution developed in a previous context. Brownfield software platforms and applications don't make sense to the next wave.

Regulations, society, governments, etc. don't make sense to the next wave of kids, but the themes of disruption and hacking are salient and seductive. Good on the next wave and each one after for seeing the world and thinking, "I can do better." That is the commandment within the religion of the technologist I appreciate.

Uber ceases to exist with driverless cars unless they become a car manufacturer and own the vehicles. You don't need the overhead of Uber to get driverless cars to your door. The companies working on driverless cars can wipe away Uber with far fewer indictments of CEOs. In Uber, I see a naivete in deploying disruption that will more likely place Uber on the heap of left coast bubbles than reward them with an institutional place in the firmament of global corporations.

It's time to get rid of the senior execs and let the investors run the house to extract maximum value until Google's driverless car subscription is pervasive. The leadership of Uber is too high a risk for the investors in Uber.

And, for the kids who don't need no rules, you will age to become us one day and see yourself in those coming to replace you. You will see them screaming to unravel the world while not realizing they are perturbing the world, not changing it. They are part of the world, not its master. They are the catalysts of churn but will repeat our mistakes. And another wave will crash on the shore...

This is a horrible idea. What will happen and has happened in reality is that those with less scruples or money will simply pay for the cheaper unlicensed work and not pay for extra insurance. Those people or their tenets then suffer by injury and death when an electrical fire starts or an improper wiring job jolts someone.
In 2012 when I purchased my own phone I declined to set up a voice mail account. If you call and it rings out, the caller is informed, "This customer has not created a voice mail account."

I highly suggest you do the same. The only person who've noticed so far is my mother.

As for Australis, there were loud outcries when it happened (as it always does with big UI changes, see 3.x to 4) but it quieted down quite fast.

That's because "loud" doesn't equal majority and this vocal minority got used to, moved elsewhere or simply used some addon to keep things how they liked them.
So he posits 5 possibilities, 3 of which directly involve NK? He basically says he doesn't know what to think, but maintains the evidence is weak, like every other tech journalist.

I do agree its a good possibility the government has a lot more classified evidence it's not sharing with us, and we're trying to put together a puzzle with only half the pieces.
Not shocking because this is HuffPo, but this isn't a good article, and I suspect it's because Mincome (minimum income) did not really provably work (I'm not saying it didn't work, I'm saying there isn't data showing it did).

The article is filled with anecdotes of people who appreciated having extra money given to them by the government (shocking). The only time it actually get's close to examining the big picture is here:

In 2011, Forget released a paper distilling how Mincome affected people’s health using census data. She found overall hospitalization rates (for accidents, injuries, and mental health diagnoses) dropped in the group who received basic income supplements.

AFAICT it did not examine whether or not this made the Mincome project "worth it."

So there's nothing here really, or maybe there is, but not in this article.
From a systems-design perspective, the question would be what effect prosecutors using AV presentations in this way has on conviction accuracy. Imo an important design goal of the criminal-justice system is to have a very low rate of false positives, and secondarily a low rate of false negatives. Whether trials should be set up to allow the lawyers to use AV-enhanced presentations is that question that, for me, turns on what effect it has on those statistics.
I concur. I remember the days when there was explosion of Java framework last time, though the Java community at the time doesn't seemed to mind (they seemed to like choices) :-). There are some voices that complains of too many choices, but I think people generally agree there can be no One True Stack (TM).

As for preferring library over frameworks, sure why not. There are tons of reason to be able to do things other than the way that is described by a framework, but when you start to have teams bigger than 20, of different time zones, with varying skill level (important point here), having a prescribed way to do things may not be such a bad thing. There will be time to break the rules of the framework, but hopefully your choice of framework is good enough that it should only be less than 10% of the case.

To this, I can say that despite the failing of AngularJS, some teams just cannot live without it. Its very prescriptive to the point that people who a very good at Javascript may find it repulsive. But those prescription are just too robust for some team to abandon it and go for a more performant framework.

And there is a lot of companies that can't hire Google level developers. These people may not know Javascript enough, but are okay as long as there are good prescriptive example of how to do things. They should still aspire to be good at Javascript (or any language at that...), but sometimes that seems to be too much to expect for the portion of them. Sure, this is not ideal, but you have to remember, there are a lot of places in the world that IT is a cost center.

Total fallacy. Most of the incredible advances we've had in science are due to passion for science, as opposed to financial gain. Financial gain usually promotes iterative advancement.
(Christian from Stripe here.)

Thanks for the clear description. In Stripe's case, this arbitrage won't work. When we refund a bitcoin payment, we refund the USD value of the payment (converted to bitcoin at the time of the refund). The customer does not necessarily receive the same bitcoin amount that they sent.

For example:
(1) At the initial time, each bitcoin is worth 100 USD. A Stripe user accepts a 10 USD payment (0.1 bitcoin).
(2) Bitcoin then increase in value to 1,000 USD each. The Stripe user fully refunds the payment. Their customer receives 0.01 bitcoin (10 USD).

The Stripe user and their customer both have a net of zero USD in this scenario.

We could have implemented refunds in the opposite way: a net of zero BTC and non-zero USD. However, that would have introduced the issue that you describe.
There are telephones available which have voicemail integrated in with the rest of it, and if you go VOIP than voicemail tends to be accessible online.

What's funny to me is even with, "Freedom of information act," in the USA some Americans act like everything is public record.

It's not. Sometimes, for international relations, things are classified, never released until much later. Having been party to a minor agreement, at least knowing about it, before the general media, gives you a ton of insight into how the USA operates.

To me at least, I came to the, "Business," operating model. In other words, the economic engine takes priority and the agreements I know of that were signed pushed that particular agenda.

Dollars, literally, make the world go round. The US dollar is the world, "Reserve," currency. There's a very good reason for that, and a very good reason the Secret Service is in charge of the US money supply.

Then again, perhaps I'm as much as insider as the author of the blog post. Eg, out of the loop.
I think this makes a lot of sense for a business. Sadly, I still get occasional but important personal communication via phone calls and voicemail, where otherwise I would not be able to get it. Specifiaclly, doctor's offices don't use SMS or email. Their alternative is snail mail. Another source is random one offs such as the oil delivery guy confirming my delivery, or a relative trying to get directions to my house in realtime.

I get very few voicemails, but I don't see a point in disabling this feature entirely, in on personal line.
Well, the virtual DOM is a great concept regardless - storing diff information on JavaScript is a great optimization, even if browsers eventually optimize browser rendering speeds, one will still be able to squeeze more with this & benefitting from that optimization.

It's a really good exercise to hit Random Pages 10 times.

I tried it and mostly got vanity pages for people who did something, but didn't seem too important.

One I got is about the mayor from 1995 to 2001 of a Texas town of 75,000 people. I suppose it has some value to the people who lived in that town or need to research about it... but I can sympathize with the problem of trying to decide what is useful and what is not.

Another one is an article on the Tigress character in Kung-Fu Panda. I mean, sure, it was information, but the extent of its vitality to human knowledge and literature?

Another one is a 7th round hockey player from Canada...

I mean, should Wikipedia really keep track of all athletes, all mayors, and all characters in all movies?

I think it's a better idea to keep track of more permanent stuff and let fans of these athletes, mayors and cartoon characters make websites about them.

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here (I actually do think that the upper class is full of pricks, but I'm going to try to set that aside for now). First, I don't think that it's class warfare because neurological empathy is not the same thing as being ethical or being a good person. If you feel pain when you see images of people suffering, but you embezzle, you're still a criminal.

Second, I think that the casual arrow is that lower empathy (at least, neurological empathy) makes it easier to rise in modern organizations, and not because organizations are evil, but because it's more efficient to promote people with less empathy. Why? At the bottom, people with "overactive" empathy responses fight others' battles and cause friction. They raise a stink when an intern is unjustly fired while the rest of the company reacts with, "So what? He was just an intern." At the top, they tend to bring along people who are not always the most competent or congruent with the organization's aims. The organization would rather promote a highly talented but less empathetic person and get just him than promote an equally talented but "sticky" person and have him invite less talented, but loyal, people into its upper ranks. The "empathy deficit" means that a person can be invited into an exclusive club and that he won't invite a bunch of his people just because he likes them. And that's why, all else being equal, the organization would rather promote him.
Ur/Web, a Simple and Powerful Language for Secure Web Applications
NaCL is not portable and PNaCL will never be a standard, because it's very complex, very implementation specific and the other browser vendors will never adopt it. Quite the contrary, I view PNaCL as being the hack you're talking about, being Google's version of ActiveX.

The great thing about JavaScript is that it can be used as a compilation target, like bytecode. There are already many compilers that do that, like ClojureScript and Scala.js, I'm working on a mixed JVM/JS project in Scala right now. And I get the secure sandbox, the portability of JS and the tools for free. Which is the advantage of a standard, otherwise I might as well go native.

And given that you can compile C++ to JavaScript with really good results, I really don't get what problems you're trying to solve. And yes Mozilla is responsible for making this happen, getting everybody on board with ASM.js, even Microsoft. And I find that to be a great development.
