> The solution is very simple: render all the data on the server, and progressively enhance subsets of your app with JS, by overriding the defaults of the rendered page. It's literally like we're discovering DHTML all over again.

Client.js, rendered on the client:

render(template, data)

Server.js, rendered on the server:

render(template, data)

---

They're exactly the same. You use a templating engine library for either JS, or your server language to process the same data. What client.js should do is change things dynamically, progressively.
It's like the world is their laboratory, and they run experiments on all of us.

>> "Charging users for more than 5gigs of storage in 2015 seems pretty miserly"

That's one way to look at it. But they need to make money somehow and I'd prefer this to advertising or selling my data or trying to convince me to make my life publicly accessible online.
Thanks, I was a bit confused over what had changed since it still said "coming this spring."
Seems something like ruby's method_missing.
Even if it had stopped in this bacteria, and it sounds as though there is nowhere near enough evidence to make that claim, it doesn't mean it cannot start again.

Evolution is an event driven process and given there is time between events, there can be a long time between events.

And if there were no possibility of time between those events, everything would look like the end of Akira.
> If it needs to fetch data from your API server to render, so long as both servers are in the same data center, latency should be very low

Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but wouldn't FastBoot make things slower if it needs to go hit the database to produce the static page, and then the clients hits the server again to fetch the unrendered templates and data as part of Ember's normal bootstrapping? I don't think it's that uncommon for the database to be a bigger bottleneck than the network.

Are there any benefits over, say, slapping a screenshot of the page as the background of body? (yes, I know I'm oversimplifying, but for instance, Facebook loads up wireframy graphics as placeholders until ajaxed stuff pops up.)
Maybe. I think people mostly see children as a responsibility though, so I wonder if the problem would live up to the concern.

I wonder if you could try to measure the differences in birth rates for people receiving the EIC, comparing across numbers of children (at some income levels the first child provides ~2x the benefit as the third).

edit: Searching "EITC birth rates" shows that people have looked at it.
Actually, both economic liberals and progressives seem to like it.
I think the big win for Photos.app / iCloud Photo Library is the fact that 3rd party app 'extensions' are able to provide exponential editing capabilities directly to the users main library.

I anticipate Photos.app on Mac gaining 'Extensions' a la iOS Extensions in the next WWDC revision/OS X release.

The modern mixed economy that every Western nation has is called that because it is a mixture of capitalism and socialism.

Its true that BI is consistent with that mix, but that's not a counterargument to it being from the socialist side of the capitalist/socialist divide. (Of course, the utility of that divide and the breakdown of arguments over economic arrangements into "which side of the divide does that fall into?" followed by "if capitalist, good; if socialist, bad", or vice-versa, is dubious.)

For the last 15 or so years, until about a month ago, my daily driver was a 1986 sports car. There's no way I would have been able to do that if I couldn't do most of the maintenance myself or had a job where I'd be fired if I couldn't get to the office on time once in a while. Having AAA helps too, for tows.

It's an interesting thought, although that would mean the species opted out of having a working problem-solving mechanism. This is probably not associated with long-term survival.

There are several reasons why genomes remain more stable than others, including - as you stated - replication accuracy (which can nevertheless not be 100%), but also survival chances of random mutations, and environmental factors that make deviations from the plan unfit for survival.

Yet, bacteria in general show tremendous genetic mobility. They're easily the most promiscuous lifeform on the planet, considering the fact they have evolved a P2P genetic data transfer mechanism that doesn't require procreation.

So, all things being equal, the rate of genetic change is expected to vary a lot. It's also worth considering that just because ancient versions are still around, that might still mean there are diverse offspring which are also doing fine. It's not automatically the case that earlier versions get replaced.

> I'd be willing to bet that there is a healthy species of bacteria that has stopped evolving

It sounds weird, but that's mostly a matter of definitions. If a species has stopped evolving, let's say because it developed a 100% accurate replication mechanism, that species will have trouble surviving changing environments. Sooner or later there will be a virus or something else that just wipes it out.

He doesn't say "used car". He says "cheap car". Those two things are different and seem to be a great source of confusion in your comment and others in this thread.

Also, he said $170 for two hours of labor.
In your post, you wrote "France, Germany, Italy and Spain make up 74% of GDP in the EU, so essentially they drive the economy there." I think you mean the Eurozone, not the EU. You forgot about the UK, which is an EU member state.
I would doubt that that would happen. If I was person A, and person B raised my rent by $500/mo, I would find a person C to rent from for much less than $1000/mo, rather than continuing to rent from person B.

Prices might go up a bit, but not by that much. The poverty rate in the United States is about 15%. That means that, assuming that the cost of that $500/mo will be spread (unevenly) across the other 85% of the population, or a bit under $100 per taxpayer. That also assumes that the mincome program would exist alongside existing welfare programs, where in reality it would most likely replace them.
It's not quite as bad as that, but it's close. There are some use cases where it's beneficial. The one I use it for is where I'm pre-creating workers and using the shared memory mechanisms and signalling of threads (which work quite well in Perl where it auto releases the lock based on scope).

One hard part becomes synchronizing ephemeral UI state between client and server. Such as data not-yet saved, or various UI components that are toggled into some sensible state.

As the complexity increases, this problem explodes.

One can use local storage (when available), but unfortunately this isn't always available, or needed.

Another thing you can do is bounce state back & forth with requests. Unfortunately this becomes a synchronization nightmare.

It is extremely nice to allow ephemeral UI state to remain in the UI. Merely syncing non-ephermal state, and populating a client side pool of data that is quickly addressable, and thus "instant" from the perspective of the UI.

Mitigating the latency of mobile networks is key here, no latency due to data-locality is the only way. Short of Quantum entanglement Physics isn't on the side of server-side rendered experiences.

You are missing the part about manipulating other applications or controling GUI elements, like Powershell kind of allows via DLL interop and OLE Automation.

As for /proc/sys, not all UNIXes have such features.

In Oberon I could pipe selected text from any application into any command that had a GUI aware type signature, for example.

This assumes that a UBI would be funded by redistributive income taxation. Many formulations of a UBI actually fund it through a land value tax. Connecting the two concepts basically amounts to land owners paying rent to society.

Your overall point stands, I just want to point out the LVT aspect as UBI is increasingly discussed as a topic separated from that original context.

I'm wondering how alone (or not) I am in being uncomfortable with cloud storage for my (mostly family) photos. It would be the most convenient solution in terms of storage and redundancy, but the idea of them possibly being compromised and also somewhat out of my control doesn't sit well with me. It feels slightly hypocritical, since I do share the odd photo on Facebook, but the idea of having every photo and video "out there" is a bit daunting.

Currently I have a RAID 1 NAS at home (also backed up to external drive occasionally), which I use to offload photos from our various devices. I can access these pictures when at home from any device, but of course not outside of the WIFI. So if I want to take older pictures on my device to share with others, I need to download them at home in advance - that's the weakness of this setup.

Am I living in the stone age?

> Progressive enhancement (beyond very small apps) is a challenge to maintain, since UI state needs to be shared between a server runtime and client runtime.

It does? Why? The server is handling the data to be rendered either way, and as I say in response to another comment, rendering the data is as simple as:

res.end(render(template, data))

> And your comments about shitty execution of web pages and apps could apply to any shitty app. They have nothing to do with client-side JavaScript applications. I expect a better argument than "I once saw a webpage that sucked".

The argument is "you are VC-funded, and taking a 1mil+ dollars to build the Next Big (S|P)aaS. You are spending tons of money on A/B testing, designers, mockups, UI specialists, and your page does not even load for the lowest common denominator - and easiest to manage (static HTML) users of the web?"

First, if you have no mechanical inclination and don't have mechanical friends, then used cars are problematic. Although you probably be in worse shape buying a new car also. The second problem now is an awfully lot of used cars and used car parts got trashed by the "cash for clunkers" program. I can think of few worse government programs to put the boot to working folks then that program.

Its all risk management. Not much different from the buy vs build in computing. Sadly, mechanical training is a dying skill and the risk is much higher.

My co-worker just bought a used Subaru for $1,000 and other than needing a belt replacement ($60 and about a hour of time), it was in really good shape. He knows how to look at a car, so all good.

> I think you actually understand the philosophical basis of property and why it doesn't apply to ideas better than you're letting on here, but I'll answer this anyway.

> Ownership of physical property is natural because physical property is inherently rivalrous and excludable

While that's one philosophical justification for property, we've had property long before anyone coined the phrases "rivalrous" or "excludable" and it has been justified for reasons that have nothing to do with those economic concepts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_property. Going back further, see Psalm 128:2 ("For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.")
I agree. This is the progressive enhancement I've talked about earlier.

Used German cars are among the biggest money sinks on the planet aside from unaffordable exotics. Out of dozens of friends and dozens and dozens of Euro cars, not a single person has had an inexpensive to repair or own BMW/Mercedes/Audi/SAAB...new or used. And these are cared for vehicles, not rolling wrecks or the result of careless owners.

My 95k Ford had 1 repair in the years that I owned it (a rarity for Ford)...a thermostat. My 70k miles Honda has had $0 in repairs since 2006.

German luxury cars only make sense if leased from new (which 70% of them are). Used? Run far away, and run fast.
I have a pithier version: Being poor is really fucking expensive.

But yeah, the guy's problem isn't that he bought a used car. It's that he bought a used luxury car. They're not exactly designed for reliability or easy repair.

[Pitch Deck Example] Stretched Canvas: A Startup Pitch Deck Success Story
It's actually pretty easy to tell the parameters they take if you look at the url for the route.

For:

story GET /story/:id(.:format) story#show

You get

In practice it doesn't cause as many problems as you think, even in large applications.
I have been struggling to manage my family's photos and videos, and it has really been a nightmare. I'm currently using flickr, but it leaves much to be desired. This looks like exactly what I've been looking for.
Sigh. Does Apple offer auto-awesome like G+ (and soon, OneDrive)? Do they highlight the best photos or stitch burst shots together into a GIF? Do they email you memories like Everpix used to? Critically for me, do they offer deduplication?

I currently have nearly 1TB of photos thanks to reliance on iPhoto and a decade of attempted back-ups to local storage. In reality, there's maybe 200GB of actual photos. Thankfully, cloud storage has stemmed the proliferation of redundant photos.

For a company supposedly focused on user experience, Apple's complete failure with photos has been baffling. First the catastrophe of iPhoto, then arbitrary photo streams, and now $20/month/1TB (!) for iCloud storage. What the hell. Apple usually justifies their premium and exclusivity by offering better products. Hands up, everyone who thinks Apple offers even remotely comparable web services versus literally anyone else.

This just another greedy lock-in of tech-illiterate customers by offering worse services at higher prices. Which seems pretty emblematic of the Tim Cook era -- when Apple fully pivoted to extracting premium money from their customers rather than offering premium products.
So… enough pay for about 20 developers?

Lock-in.

A huge photo collection is the best lock-in for an OS. So to have a top-notch app here is a smart move from Apple.

I have like 70GB of photos in iPhoto and somehow this stops me from fully migrating to another OS. Just the thought of moving this 70GB to another file system, OS and photo program let me stick to OSX forever. And photos especially the family ones are maybe the most important 'personal' data of a user.

Besides, iPhoto is not bad but the many format changes in the past were a bit tiring.

In general I prefer Dropbox as a cloud file storage--they have the best clients of all OSes and security features like no other (remote wipe), now I just need a cross platform photo database which is separated from my cloud storage provider.
Is there any other way of submitting, apart from FB? Have deactivated FB for more than year. Active on Twitter though.
I would be transparent. Ask for and negotiate for what you want _up front_, not after the fact. Back it up with evidence based on your other offers, and make it clear that your willing to walk, rather than compromise for something less.

Why treat yourself like a slave for partners who don't care about your interests?

Remember, your company's lawyers are not your lawyers. They are not looking out for your interests, rather the company's interests.

It sounds like you should have a lot of leverage here to get what you want though. You need to negotiate with your employer, or get an agent to do it on your behalf.

They way you describe it sounds like your being sold down the river.
For what it's worth, the experiment in the article didn't give everyone $X directly, the benefit slowly dropped off as their own income increased.

For example, let's assume X to be $30k/year, and a drop-off rate of 50 cents on the dollar. (the experiment used an inflation-adjusted $10k/year, and 50 cent dropoff).

With these assumptions, someone who had no other income at all would get the full benefit. Someone who earned $10k/year would get $25k of benefit, someone who earned $30k/year would get $15k, and someone earning $60k+/year would not receive any benefit at all.

So, let's apply this back-of-the-envelope math.
according to http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/cpstables/032014/perinc/pinc0..., Total Work Experience, Both Sexes, All Races,
there were about 252 million persons 15 or older in the US, 218 million of which had some income reported. Of these, about 174 million with $60k/year or less.

Assuming everyone gets a benefit equal to $30k - 1/2 their income, and everyone's income is at the bottom of their respective bucket, the total cost of this program would be about $3.26 trillion.

This is not a small amount of money, but it would also replace many existing welfare programs (many of which are implemented at the state or city level, effectively transferring budget from the federal to the local)
Strong arguments can be made for the necessity of basic income, but as a concept it is weakly socialist. The ideal that people have some fundamental right to sustenance beyond what the market value of their labor provides as income is by definition socialist, given that the corresponding capitalist ideal is that, if you're not worth paying enough to live, you die.

It is certainly possible that some goods or services that are inelastic in supply will experience cost inflation if they are goods or services that are mostly or entirely consumed by a market segment that becomes richer from basic income. I'm not convinced that housing is generally an example of such a good, but some housing may well be.

However, the same is true of targeted assistance to only the poor for only housing -- it increases their effective wealth for the purposes of competing only for housing, and, if anything, it will make it worse than a more general guaranteed income would.
