> What I mean by that is if the most cost effective big rig truck gets say 10MPG then that cost gets built into the market rate. If a new truck design gets 15MPG and costs more you can figure out the costs vs what's out on the market and see if it's an improvement.

I see your point, but that's a particularly poor example. Most shippers will pass the fuel costs as a "fuel surcharge" on to the customer. If you're an owner/operator, this is the most lucrative part of the business, and is really the whole reason to be an O&O in the first place. Trucking is just a really strange business.
Light planes aren't used for mass transit.

They are used by a tiny, tiny fraction of the population who given those are planes are used for business are far more likely to be middle aged, professional, healthier individuals than general consumers. They are also like normal flying more of an "event" than your everyday commute i.e. you plan ahead for them.

The constitution is supposed to represent _our_ principles, not the founders'. The fact that it does not speaks more to our failure than to their success.
Staging sites which need to interoperate with a third-party are one place I've seen obscured hostnames used.

eg, You want to test some front-end changes in conjunction with changes to the CDN config. If the production site is origin.example.com, the staging site might be at origin-stage-asdgwdse.example.com because you (hope!) the changes don't leak early.

IPv4 literal addresses are often inconvenient / not feasible for larger stacks or cloud setups where you don't control the underlying infrastructure.
It'd be funny if one day someone would play a little game of "catch a fed" and make it the goal to catch all the digital communications of a federal agent then see how they like it. I doubt they'd be for the surveillance state if after visiting facebook suddenly realizing someone has access to information on their entire family.
Many of the comments mentioned this should have been caught in the code review. I suspect they don't perform code reviews.

Makes me wonder, is there a tool, system, service for auditing how many 'pair of eyes' have reviewed a given line of code. This would be hard to determine, but could be useful. I am envisioning a heatmap bar or overlay that indicates the number of reviews a line of code has received.
I'm surprised about 'routinely' for light rail trains (which I call trams).

There have been three pedestrians killed by trams in the UK in the last 20 years[1]. Every accident/incident gets a 30+ page independent report (linked from [1]). Railway safety has reached the point where the greatest danger to passengers is falling down stairs, or tripping over when running. The last fatality to someone on a train was on 23 February 2007.

How different things would be if a fatal road accident led to a 30-page report concluding with a set of recommendations and an expectation that they'd all be implemented.

> Why all the popular support for a Basic Income Guarantee rather than the arguably superior Job Guarantee

Why the obsession with a labor based economy when the whole point of a basic income is that we're moving away from labor being needed? You can't base the distribution of resources for a society on labor when the population exceeds the necessary labor force. This puritan work ethic where you judge people by how hard they work is becoming antiquated, time to try something else.

In an automated world where labor isn't of great value, people still need to be able to live meaningful lives. A job guarantee is not superior, it in fact misses the entire point of basic income.

That is quite frustrating, and consumer vendors should be mindful of creating life-changing experiences.

Also: backups. I know it sounds cliche, but look, if it has a mechanical hard drive, the manufacturer could have slightly mis-calibrated one of the mechanical assemblies, and this could have happened because the nature of digital storage is that it is essentially ephemeral.

Protect yourself from things outside your control. You don't need the most sophisticated solution, just an external usb drive.
Might be, but I'm sure if it's important they would allocate resources to getting it fixed ASAP.

I doubt the fix for this and testing takes 90 days, or even 45 days.

You are probably correct, but it would better serve the idea that people are actually being paid for what they are worth -- what responsibilities they are expected to uphold as citizens, rather than this idea that it is just 'free money.'

A lot of people like to think that BI is paying people for nothing. It isn't. You still have civil responsibilities, and upholding those responsibilities has real economic value.

more specifically - an octocopter scaled up to carry 2-4 peoples, not that big of a problem if you take time to look into it

An octocopter will have even worse range than a normal helicopter, so you cant get very far, and everyone having flying cars based on pushing air will not be able to use them from the street due to the problem of blowing pedestrians over. Flying cars as envisioned in sci-fi require reactionless drives, at least if you want to be able to take off from the street without endangering everyone.
Why do citizens even have a duty to obey the state? What gives the state any political authority at all?

From what I can tell, people often assume private funding works better than public funding because they conveniently disregard when private funding is inaccessible.

I'm able to get something as basic as food stamps from the government (if I desired that) but I'm not aware of private small scale relief outside of religious organizations. I also benefitted from Pell grants and a first time home buyer grant with my girlfriend.

I think public venture funding is compelling and could lead us in all kinds of new directions because funds would be more easily obtained for the public good than sole profitability. I'd even go as far as to say that the reason so many ventures have a vacuous (if not suspect) goal is that currently we are in an era where most of the world's liquid wealth is held by private institutions rather than the people or the commons. For example I don’t see something like the moon landing happening today, or even large public works like Hoover dam (whose cost/benefit analysis can be left to a later discussion).

Say what? NO. It's not supposed to represent any generation's principles. The constitution is supposed to be an agreed-upon set of rules that is in place until enough people what badly enough to change it that they go through the deliberately-almost-impossible process of amendment.

Because if you were just going to have each generation decide what principles that they want to be governed by, why have a constitution in the first place (especially one that's hard to change)? Why not just, you know, let each generation do what it wants?

Look, I was initially agreeing with you. If pbreit is going to claim that it makes no sense given the constitution, I want to see section and clause quoted before I believe that it's any such thing. But I also don't think that each generation gets to re-do the constitution in the image of their own principles.
This article has issues (as already pointed out by others), but it raises a valid point. What would be the effects of a basic income? It refers to lower wages, which might be one.

This just reminds me of other gov't efforts to "tweak" the system. A great example in the US is drug prices. Some federal gov't programs (Medicare) get to buy drugs at either discount X% or the lowest price offered (to non-gov't customers) whichever is lower.

Sounds like a great idea, but what drug companies started to do is pull back their discounts on private customers in order to minimize the discount to the gov't. As the gov't started paying more, a mish-mash of "tweaks" were made to avoid this. This just created new ways for drug companies to respond.

Basic income is a decent idea at first glance, but holy crap it could become a complex mess pretty quick if it's not done right. It could create some pretty perverse incentives for either individual or companies to maximize their gain.
>For whatever reason, however,riding your bike on the sidewalk is rigidly enforced against.

and it is very good reason. A bike on the move at say double pedestrian speed has like 30ft ahead by 6ft width virtual zone which is dangerous for anybody else and thus has to be empty. It just doesn't fit into typical sidewalk space which would typically be like those 6ft wide and bike rider routinely lets people get into the 30ft ahead zone thus constantly placing them in danger.

I use the noscript tag to tell people with JS disabled that the site requires JS, end of interaction. Enable js or go away, I have more important things to do than bother with people who intentionally break their browsers. They aren't the target market and aren't worth catering to.

This is business, not academia, right and wrong are judged by profit and loss and opportunity cost, not by what is ideal given unlimited resources. Work on feature X or double my work so a few people a day who break their browsers can still use the site... one is practical, the other is not.

Even at 35, I have a weird feeling like I'm walking into a religious cult or being watched when I'm in these stores. I've avoided going into them since I was young and this has persisted to this day. It has to do with the creepy, overzealous way the employees interact with you and the panopticon-like layout of the stores. I only go to Radio Shack as a last resort and won't miss them.

On the plus side, having lived in California and seen the magic fun that is Fry's, the minor vacuum left behind by RS might leave door open for something better. If not, I suppose I can wait a whole 48 hours for something from Prime.

I use a lot of technologies based on criteria that aren't all grounded in features. I do happen to appreciate knowing that I could modify some code for the benefit of many, and without the epic burden of maintaining a fork.

There's also a network effect, in that I'm more likely to use software that I perceive to have a large and qualitatively friendly group of users / developers.

The article might not have addressed specific technological feature benefits, but it certainly articulated some desirable sounding community features. If I hadn't previously moved to the land of emacs, I'd probably be moving to Neovim.
In the short-term it certainly benefits consumers who are using debt to finance their consumption (e.g. houses, cars).

In the long run (at least for the housing market) the benefit goes away as housing prices adjust to reflect lower borrowing costs.
If this is true then nearly all of bitcoin's growth over the last 3 years can be directly attributable to Mark Karpeles, either in the form of outright price manipulation, or the running of illegal goods marketplaces.

>A super human AI wont have any reason to have the same morals as you

That's what I'm saying: it necessarily won't. It has to prove its morals are better than yours.

>you are still assuming you can control something that can program itself.

Who said it can program itself? Why would I assume that? Obviously, it is not a requirement for AI because we don't have that capability, yet we are intelligent.

You are assigning capabilities to a hypothetical machine with no rhyme or reason. The next time you see a machine that can't be turned off, you be sure to let someone know about it.

I guess I'll repeat my point again:

We will not be able to build intelligent computers by removing ourselves from the process of designing intelligent computers. That would eliminate our ability to verify their intelligence, and thus make them not intelligent. We have no use for such a thing, so why would we build it? Why would a computer that _we designed to require our verification_ ignore our verification and build something that complex and contradictory to its own goals on purpose?
This could be quick hack, maybe the dev just forgot to put it on the issue list.

By the way, do you have children? I ask because the choice of school is far more nuanced than picking the one with the best test scores.

For example, a school with the highest test scores may not be ideal for a child that struggles with concentration and self-discipline. That child may find him/herself lost among more dedicated peers.

For poorer families time is an incredibly valuable resource. When you earn minimum wage, a school that offers inexpensive or free childcare after school is a net financial gain; the parent can work with out paying extra for child care.

Poor families and their children who cannot foresee outcomes after finishing high school other than joblessness or minimum wage jobs optimize differently; a better football program in the here and now may be a better choice than better academics with an uncertain payoff in the future.
It seems that, when it comes to modern software offices, appearance is much more important than functionality. Makes me wonder how far that's true of their software as well ;-)
A lot of firearm prices are driven by "willingness to pay". I can't find the source as it was a long time ago, but I remember reading that Glock can manufacture a handgun for under $200 (they sell for $600).

If you think about it, a gun is nothing more than a collection of milled (or cast) metal parts. A certain level of precision is required, but the material and manufacturing costs (with automated CNC) are pretty small.
Depends on what your goal is. Some people would gloat a lot, if everyone would know they did it, but nobody could prove anything in court.
My college campus enforced it (after three deaths in less than a year in the same damn place!) by building a giant wall down the middle of the road. Pretty effective.
It feels like being taken advantage of. It's taking the worst part of crowdsourcing, which is that the majority of the gains are concentrated in a few people while many people contribute to success, but receive a pittance, and making it even worse.

I'm not convinced that the raw economic incentives work out, either. I have tons of opportunities to help people. Supply of people who need help greatly exceeds my ability to provide it. I can't imagine paying for the privilege.

>Patches are often criticized for ridiculous reasons. After we posted our patch to the Vim-dev mailing list, the first reply was:

>>NOTE: Don’t use ANSI style function declarations. A few people still have to use a compiler that doesn’t support it.

>Seriously? C89 is a quarter-century old. The number of people stuck on older compilers can be counted on one hand. This is a non-concern. Still, I acquiesced. It was easier to make the change than argue with the critic.

I laughed in agreement with the author at "Seriously?" I seriously can't imagine who uses a compiler almost as old as I am. But then I started thinking:

I respect OpenBSD, C compilers, Vim for supporting many platforms for a long time; that's a programming task I've never approached. I use Ruby in my business, and don't care about supporting anything but Heroku!

So: what's it like contributing to Vim or OpenBSD, which has a neato-torpedo list of esoteric supported platforms[0]? Who are the esoteric users, what do they do, and how do they do it? It'd help me empathize, and not dismiss off-hand their complaints.

> I was not advocating stupidity, but consideration. I.e., thought.

Ah, but someone's common sense, i.e. thought, is someone else's absolute unutterable idiocy.

For example: Some consider it absolute basic rock-simple common sense that a marriage is between one man and one woman, both of whom were born with those genitals, period. Completely inarguable, as in if you try to argue the point, they will scream at you until you give up.

Therefore, they conclude in their inarguable fashion, no same-sex couples should get benefits, because it is contrary to basic intelligence that the government should fund such things.

There. Now you have a political dispute which is completely immune to negotiation, because if you give one red cent to same-sex couples, one side has utterly lost the argument. There is no Overton-Window-Approved middle ground.

That's why Basic Income needs to be no-strings-attached and unconditional for it to work.
