That's not what Aral is saying, though. He's saying "unsustainable systemic inequality" poses an existential threat, and that welfare cuts contribute to that. He is clearly not talking about welfare cuts alone.
That's a strange point to pick on. Many people who take Uber just can't stand to drive in the city, and find it more convenient to hail as needed. Not correlated with car ownership much.
The reality remains that I can test Edge as Edge, perfectly, with all of it's unique quirks no matter what operating system I use.

You can't say the same for Apple's Safari browser.
I'm sure this similarity has been pointed out before, but I think JSX is tangible for many of the same reasons PHP templating was. It only makes sense that a company that operates predominately in PHP would pass the baton of markup interpolation to JS as the web becomes more client oriented.

I personally lean towards logic interpolation (Handlebars, AngularJS), but both have their potentials for abuse. I don't know enough about JSX to say one way or the other what good practices are enforced and what bad practices are available.
I don't think it is justified to say that consciousness is not a riddle. There is no evidence that consciousness is more than the product of the complex physical processes happening in our brain but I don't think that makes the issue any less puzzling. How does a collection of particles completely governed by physical laws become conscious? If consciousness is just an emergent property of an incredible complex state machine than any implementation would have to be conscious, the often quoted simulation of a brain inside a computer as well as a gigantic pile of levers, gears and pulleys in the right arrangement. The thought that a collection of gears can become aware of its existence seems, at least to me, pretty outlandish.
This would seem to be the crux of it:

How about you bring me the citations that show that they care about morality in such a line of work?

Or do you think assuming everybody is moral in every line of business is a baseline for how the universe is and everything more cynical is some sort of extra-ordinary claim? If yes, then you'd be surprised.

That's the corollary to what P. T. Barnum said, that "there's a sucker born every minute".

This comment is deeply insightful, and "fractally fucked up" is a perfect phrase for this. Both halves are necessary and precise.

I feel like if everyone would absorb your point, it would cut out the most toxic kinds of negative dismissal that we see in these threads—the kind that assume X would be easy, if only Y weren't so stupid or greedy.
The automobile industry should be a: "sell car -> build car" business model. Eliminating the vast majority of inventory, and limiting damage from failed products.

It's absurd in premise that you can go to a dealership and look at a hundred vehicles; six of each make, of varying colors - all sitting there, with the dealership and the automaker praying they get sold.

Keep one of each model for viewing and test driving. Take orders and customizations. Pick your vehicle up in a week, save 15% (thanks to vast reduction in waste, and the elimination of the middle-man sales commission).

I had a conversation with the publisher of Forbes almost 20 years ago about this concept. It's sad so little progress has been made in that time.
Actually, I do feel like tech hasn't doesn't what it could to provide for greater transparency/accountability regarding our elected officials.

Going off on a slight tangent here, but a thought I've had is that politicians aren't just evil/vote along party lines just because. They do it to stay in power. Maybe if there was an app/platform/something that citizens could to go to "pre-vote" on issues or crowdfund issues, maybe people's actual needs would be addressed?

Ideally, a rep would say: here's the app you guys use. I'll vote on everything exactly how my constituents tell me to vote. And, in doing so, just be a direct proxy for the voting public.
You've posted four snide and low-content comments on this post. Do you have anything substantive to say, or are you just here to sneer?
I don't think it is a problem. The new browser's name is not Edge. It's 'Microsoft Edge'. The samsung phone's name is 'Galaxy Edge'. Now tech companies like to use the compound name, e.g. Apple Watch, to avoid the trademark issue.
I wonder why this model was created in the first place.

From a developer standpoint, I always felt HTML and JS to be extremely tight together. So whether or not they're in different files, they were linked to each others. Now, with JSX, it just feel like a more powerful html without all the crapy extremely limited template language..

Maybe for a static website, it doesn't feel right. But for a webapp it feels much better than before for me.
Way too attached to your body, your intellect, your values, your hobbies. You were created to replicate DNA, after all.
No, the procedure has never been demonstrated to work. There is no empirical evidence. These companies can not give a single instance of them resuscitating a human after undergoing these procedures. Not one. You are paying to have yourself frozen and stored, and that's it. The entire process is based on a combination of cynical opportunists, PR agents and deluded religious faithful who believe in "the procedure" without a shred of scientific proof, and gullible desperate rubes ignorant of empirical science.

Ideas for apps:(Variation of the above 5)

1. SnapTweets(Twitter Clone): Disappearing tweets, as soon as you receive a tweet, it starts self destructing in 10 seconds

2. Crowdbased TLDR(Reddit Clone): Yesterday on hn, someone complained about having to read a longgg article (The Marc Andreessen one). Wouldn't it be nice if we can upvote the best tldr to the top. That way we can all save time.

3. Task Predictor: I will log my efforts every hour on the UI. After a few days worth of data, your web app should start predicting the likelihood of me doing a task at any given moment. i.e Today, I am planning to write 1000 lines of code starting from 7:00 pm. Your app should notify me that (at 7:00 pm) the likelihood of me watching another episode of lost/prison break is 100%. This awareness should help break my current behavior pattern.

Unless you're being forced to buy a car because of a wreck or something similar, you have to remember that you have 100% of the power. I've had salesman and "sales managers" laugh at my price and then chase me out as I walked out, only to call me a week later offering my price to which I told them was no longer good so it needed to be lower. I've had the finance guy literally not shaking my hand at the end of the deal and telling me never to buy a car there again (I had to correct his mistakes over and over). Buying a car is war, and if you approach it that way it can be quite amusing.

Some other stories, I had a friend when buying one of his cars it was a month long negotiation. I would be in his office, the phone would ring he would pick up say "No" and just hang up on the sales guy. Pretty hilarious actually.

Another friend walked into the dealership, money in hand and told the guy a price and that he had 45 minutes before he had to go back to work. He said it was awesome watching the salesman run all over the lot in the heat, but the deal got done.

If someone does not want to negotiate, CarMax is okay. The prices are not the best, but they are clearly shown online and the buying process is dead simple.

Did you have to go to a dealer? I've stopped buying from dealers almost entirely, and have shifted to purchasing used directly from other owners via craigslist. (I'm a little confused because you talked about used and new in your post.)

Of the past 5 cars I've bought, only one was from a dealership: a certified pre-owned Audi, that was two years old at the time I got it. Still sure I got robbed, but it wasn't by too much.
I love to programWhy do I hate programming classes?
I love to program.

To give some background, I am a high school student who is taking classes at my local community college. I made the decision to do this because I wanted to expand my programming knowledge. I develop games in my free time and programs when I find problems I can solve. I absolutely love this pass time and the creativity and satisfaction that comes from developing. I am thrilled when I run into a problem I don't know how to solve because it just makes everything more interesting and I get to learn more about what ever language or engine I am using.

My issue now is the classes. I took a few classes at my community college and to be honest, they discouraged me. They were incredibly boring (granted they were a bit below my level, but I was still learning some new stuff!) and involved absolutely no creativity or exploration. It was the same thing every week: read this, code this, make sure syntax absolutely matches the syllabus, turn in. I don't know why but this made me less excited for the future.

Is this what it is like in the programming industry? I guess I am being a bit idealistic, but I thought that being on a team of people working on a project would be full of creativity and ideas being thrown around. I would be contributing to something a lot of people were passionate about. Will I just be mundanely programming "assignments" from a boss and not having any emotional connection or excitement about the project I am working on?

To get back on topic, will programming courses get more interesting as I go on? I'm interested in topics such as 3D shaders and physics engines, but I'm afraid higher level programming classes connecting to these topics will be just as boring and uninspiring.

Realistically, do programming courses get better/more interesting?
I think the original article is talking about more long-distance hitchhiking. The sort of localized things like getting a ride from an Appalachian Trail trailhead into town, or a lift back up Teton Pass, or into LCC (all of which I've received and given), are a slightly different phenomena. It's pretty easy to recognize a thru-hiker or skier just from their equipment and clothing, and of course destination, and that removes a lot of the risk.

Well, they're still maintaining IE as a separate browser for those corporate users who rely on it, but it is a first step toward that.
DNS is not encrypted, not authenticated, can be spoofed and someone can hijack your authentication by hacking one company or exploiting some issue where the domain gets the ownership transferred forever... (or with months-long dispute time potentially) And that's before we go into most domains being owned by the US, other domains having interesting restrictions on usage and content, etc.

I like DNS, but unless you're big enough to raise your issues personally with the registrar and get heard, I wouldn't use it for any kind of auth.
Regarding global warming, Bostrom was handicapped by writing this in 2002, but things are looking a lot worse now. I'm not convinced the planet has to get as bad as Venus before global warming makes us extinct. The "business as usual" scenario could take us to +5C or +6C by the end of the century, in which case the planet would be able to support only a small fraction of the humans alive today. Mass starvation will likely lead to war and pandemics.

A great book on the projected effects of climate change is Six Degrees by Mark Lynas, who read about 3000 papers on the subject and summarized them, with extensive references. It's grim reading. It was published about six years ago, and the news has only gotten worse since then.
Because it's highly lucrative.

Selling an automobile based on a list price offers less potential for profit than all of the other things that dealerships do. They find numerous ways to milk customers out of money during a sale by jacking up the price of the car or shafting people on trade-in value. Aside from that there's financing and dealership servicing, both of which can come show high profit margins.
It's not like they are burning the cash. It is being invested and spent. The later portion injected back into the economy.

So build the alternative. Build a way for consumers to make bids/offers (put the money in escrow) and allow verified dealers to bid for your offer. You want a 2010 Honda Accord for $8500? Put up the cash and let reputable dealers compete.
You're 100% right. It's just that security is so hard to get right. Only (maybe not even) the paranoid survive on that front. All it takes is one tiny detail to screw everything up.

> the number of people who have been revived after this procedure

This is going to be zero by default even with perfect preservation, given that the whole point is to freeze people because current medical technology can't keep them reliably alive for whatever reason.

There's no reason to even think about trying to revive people (rather than simply preserving them as thoroughly as possible) until geriatrics, cancer medicine, or whatever have advanced considerably.
So when you said "It's a myth that poor people drive."

You really mean "It's a myth that poor people drive in heavily populated cities.", in that case, you would be correct lol.

" We also found that we kept fighting with function context all the time which is waste of brain energy. React has some functional aspects to it but it still feels very object-oriented. You’re always concerning yourself with implicit environment state thanks to this and the class system. If you don’t use classes you never need to worry about this, you never need decorators and you force people to think about their logic in a functional way."
Except you're dead and all your assets now belong to your heirs or some charity you've set up. If you're revived you'll be broke.

Students not allowed to use Internet to answer questions
My sophomore(H.S.) son is not allowed to use the internet to help answer questions on his science or history homework, we're talking about term definitions, not essay questions. He is only allowed to use the govt. supplied and approved text book or his notes. If schools were about learning, would it really matter where in the information comes from? Ignorance gone to sea.
I'm using Fastmail, via PostBox.

I actually e-mailed them to ask whether they could "emulate" the Gmail interface, so that Gmail apps could be used with their web app. They kindly elevated the request to their dev team, but then responded that more than just the interface would need to be changed (URLs, parameters, etc...).

I wish there was a standard way for webmail clients to support plugins, but I realize that's asking for too much..

And to clarify, my issue with Gmail is one of privacy...
I was a developer for >3 years at my last job, and barely touched SQL. I did desktop software that mostly interacted with streaming data, state machines, etc, and mostly wrote limited data to flat files as text or XML where necessary. We just didn't do anything where database storage was appropriate. I worked with a few SELECT queries to get data from a legacy Access DB, but that's about it. I was probably barely at lesson 1 level on all of the linked lessons.

I have learned a lot of SQL at my current job, though. I can now admin multiple types of DB servers and write SQL up through window queries, CTEs, indexes, stored procedures, etc, so I've learned enough to be past the end of every SQL lesson I've ever seen. There's a huge amount of fascinating stuff to learn and a ton of cool stuff you can do.
That said, a lot of modern apps are really annoying to use even when windowed.
Thanks! I managed to work it out in the end, after the other comment said it was possible :)

My total take-home at my last job was about $180K. I'm 27. I'm not top-of-market in Boston; top-of-market is around $220K and that's assuming an average-ish bonus situation. And, no, I tend to be better prepped and, usually, more knowledgeable than my interviewers, because that's what they would be paying me for. Because I am good at what I do, I have a deep and wide base of knowledge and have significant successes in my past, and they know it.

What exactly considers a trustworthy device? This term is used frequently - but not adequately defined.

Is it a corporate-issued device but fully manageable by the enduser (i.e. rooted)? Is it a locked-down device where admin privileges are held only by IT? How are devices like engineering laptops with requirements like "always has fresh kernel" or "this engineer needs root privileges for software xyz" handled? And how is integrity enforced, given that plugging in the HDD into a computer and manipulating /etc/sudoers essentially roots a device?
