How is supply controlled? Through the group funds? What is to keep rational actors in larger, competing group funds from sabotaging them?

Also, how do you address the problem of goods and services with income-elastic price points? A UBI scheme will cause prices to disproportionately inflate in lower-income markets, i.e. housing will be just as inaccessible as it was before because the income increase.
Is any of that supposed to contradict any of what I said? I don't see it.

Though what you've written here doesn't contradict my current mental model of Buddhism, I might have been wrong in assessing Buddhist's motivation as universally being about eventually ending suffering. Maybe some are content with a good, pleasurable existence, and not necessarily Nirvana? Though the fact that not all Buddhists are monastic doesn't in itself imply that - even if being monastic leads to more quickly achieving Nirvana, maybe some Buddhists don't feel that they are in such a rush, at least in their particular lifetime?

> There are degrees of everything, and very few Buddhists (if any) believe they're going to achieve liberation after only a single lifetime.

That's why I wrote """eventually escaping suffering"""!! I said nothing about escaping suffering in the span of one lifetime. Only that they choose to devote their life to the goal of eventually achieving this "escape". Note that I contrasted this goal with people who commit suicide; people who commit suicide - because of depression and suicidal thoughts - do it to escape suffering in one particular lifetime. Hence, why I contrasted this with Buddhism as "a more immediate suffering". I thought my choice of words, to deliberately contrast these two kinds of sufferings, would be enough to get the point across to someone who understands Buddhism (probably better than me). But I guess you were in a lecturing mood. Good for you, buddy; we've all got to have hobbies. And web forums are as good a place as any to do that.

The first documented success was the system MYCIN in the mid-1970s, which beat expert human performance on diagnosing blood infections: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycin

I can't seem to find the paper I'm thinking of in some quick Google Scholar searching, but I believe there was a follow-up article that looked into why such a fairly simple system was able to beat humans, when it clearly lacked the range of expertise of the human experts (and was entirely missing information on some real conditions). The paper, if I'm remembering correctly, concluded that the win was almost entirely due to one specific failing displayed by the humans (even expert specialists) but not shared by computers: very bad intuition for conditional probabilities.

Docker aims to run arbitrary off-the-shelf Linux apps (and even entire distros) with no modification. Such apps are largely authored to work in traditional environments where security is fairly ad hoc and requires fiddly user configuration. Although in many cases it would not be hard to adapt them to a uniform security model, any such requirement would mean that Docker would only support apps that have been "ported" to that model, which would make it a very different kind of platform not suited for the same use cases.

For an example of the opposite approach, look at Sandstorm.io. It forces apps to conform to a strict platform-defined security model where things are isolated "by default" and from there the user can use friendly UI to grant permissions as necessary. This means that currently there are only some 30 apps available on Sandstorm but they are (or will be, when Sandstorm reaches 1.0) "secure by default", or at least much more so than other platforms could claim.

(Disclosure: I'm the lead developer of Sandstorm.)
For me, though, the "special experience" is hardware reliability and ease of maintenance, which is why I typically buy either Dell or Lenovo and avoid HP like the plague. Reliable hardware is the real differentiator for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone (though probably part of a minority of shoppers).

One could also differentiate by focusing on a custom-tailored UI/UX. This is a bit harder to do with Windows than it is with Linux (including Android), though.

Everyone I know who runs Docker runs it in a virtual machine manager that has a built-in DHCP server and provide multiple virtual interfaces to the virtual machine. Certainly both VirtualBox and VMWare do.

Even if one runs a Docker bridge in his development VM, that doesn't one must do so in production as well.

Are we in this mess because production engineers don't understand networking?

People replying seem to be missing the point a bit; taking a kind of low view of my knowledge.

I realise fully that insurance and laws and various other things make this situation different. What I'm saying is that this is an odd and nonsensical situation.

If I hitch at the side of the road I can get into a completely random car with a random driver with no trace, digital or paper, and this is not illegal (UK) and shouldn't be IMO.

But if I do the same and pay for the privilege suddenly apparently we have to start worrying about the risk of rape and badly maintained cars and so forth.

One poster asked whether I'd want my wife to get in a car with a convicted rapist.

My wife is an autonomous human being... she can hitch, or hitch and offer to pay, or hold signs up offering a few pounds for a lift, or use Uber, or a licenced taxi company. "Safety" is a variable she can consider whilst doing so.

I don't want my basic interactions with others governed by 'background checks' carried out by the state. If you do, fine. Why do you need to force me?

(I should say that I don't really respect Uber as a business because I feel OSS should be able to do this peer to peer, but that's rather beside the point).

It frustrates me because the safety argument is basically a variant on 'think of the children'. It's difficult to argue against without considering what you lose in the process.

Background checks and licensing and road worthy tests and other regulation tilt the playing field away from me and you and towards wealthy business owners.

What is so wrong with me deciding to jump in my car now and drive people home for a fee? Not a rapist, not a pedophile, just plain jane boring old me? I would like to hear the argument against that, the one that doesn't involve appealing to scare stories of the 1 in 10000 bad cookie.

IF that's what you want, that's a fairly ingenious solution. If you look at https://macstadium.com/mac-pro you'd think you can just build the racks with the Mac Pro opening back and front. But it's 6.6" inches wide so you can only have two, three would be more than 19" (and you can't put 19" of equipment inside a rack). But this way you can squeeze four in the same space and since the cylinder is 9.9" high if you'd need you could squeeze in quite a few external hard disks as well although that would require using some fans to help moving air. You perhaps have 6-8 inches free space, one 3.5" HDD is 5.75 inch high so you could stand it on the shorter 4" edge and put in 6 taking 1" from the 19" and probably have two banks of this to arrive to 3 disks per Mac Pro and leave 4-6 inches still for moving air. It might not be impossible to squeeze in 6 disks per Mac Pro but cooling would need to be very impressive for that.

Introducing: The Meerkat Developer API
Technically, the Gear VR has been available to consumers for months and months already, though since it lacks head-tracking and desktop-quality graphics it's not quite the same thing. In addition, being what Samsung calls an "innovator edition", it has not been fully marketed to consumers at large (e.g., on buses and billboards).

However, John Carmack hinted in a recent keynote on mobile VR[1] that the next version of Gear VR would be promoted widely for all consumers and that it would come out along with the next major Samsung phone release, presumably the Note 5. The Note phones get updated every September.

Writing UIs in HTML+CSS is only easy for people who know it already, to be honest. It's not a great UI layer.

I've been using it for almost 20 years now, and I'm still easily confused by the completely unintuitive interactions of CSS parameters like floats and clears, position:relative, box model nuances, etc. (I'm sure that someone is now itching to chime in and tell me I'm not a "real web developer", sort of like the argument on HN the other day about whether "real developers" are allowed to write <br/> ...)

Game development teams don't tend to include CSS wizards. Writing a new API can be a reasonable choice given the expertise available... Not to mention the substantial runtime overhead of loading a complete browser just to display some UI widgets.

I personally dislike custom UI's shipped by the phone manufacturer because more often than not it leads to delays in OS updates due to them needing to adapt their UI to core changes. Customization (by manufacturers) can come at a very high price for the end user in terms of security and upgradability.
They're pretty explicitly saying that this isn't an entry-level database—which is perfectly OK. For example, in the docs it says that Cloud BigTable is not a good solution for less than 1TB of data. If you're storing more than a terabyte of data and need the benefits that BigTable provides, you're probably already spending at least $1,500/month on your current database.

Well in that case, why bother going to the hospital at all!

Doctors are a social conduit for understanding symptoms, explaining the reasoning behind eventual diagnosis, and being able to perform it themselves. A computer would not be, and certainly not in a way a distraught patient could communicate with easily. I also don't envision computers being tied to writing prescriptions any time soon, which is the other reason I would use a doctor.

Again, surgeries I would be fine with.

If someone isn't willing to sell to you for the price you are wanting to buy at, you have to offer more, or go without... that's how surge pricing works.

Just as the opposite works, if nobody is going to buy at your price, you have to come down, or you will lose business... ideally you will meet in the middle via market pricing. The rates are centered around competition with other sources for similar services. There is competition and market driven pricing, I don't see the problem.

I'm pretty surprised about the difference in latency though, throughput as you say will be different due to number of nodes.

For any given replication factor in Cassandra, overhead remains the pretty much the same irrespective of whether you have 300 or 3 nodes. So should the latency.

On top of that both BigTable and Cassandra use SSTables to store the data on disk (with all the compactiony goodness that goes with them), so I'm even more surprised that the difference in latency is so huge.

Would love to see the scripts for the benchmarks! I don't want to take away from a great product launch and I'm sure BigTable kicks arse in certain areas that Cassandra doesn't... I'm just surprised at the differences in latency.

I guess what I read into that is similar to how you can consider television a "trap". It's easy to get sucked into and not think about anything else. I know that I spend a lot of time thinking about different software related stuff, I love it, but I would suspect (and i could be wrong) that the cashier working at burger king doesn't think about how they can ring things up faster, move between the pickup window and the fries more efficiently while they're playing with their kids, I suspect they go home and thing about their family, not their job, and i think it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking about work much easier when your job is a "thought" job per se.... again I could be crazy though.... good luck if I am.
My perception is that is not the common perception.
I think dynamic functional programming languages such as Clojure are great for "creative coding" because they go straight to the point. You don't have to instantiate complicated objects, create classes all over the place, or consider every single code path to make the type checker happy. An advantage they have over non-functional (or "less functional") scripting languages such as Python or Javascript is the ability to move code easily without breaking anything (because most functions are pure).

I completely agree with your concerns, and I'm constantly evaluating our business for operational risks and inefficiencies. There's a lot of stuff that I can't share in public about this, but what I can say is that the math works out (for now): OS X graphics processing is worth the downsides. It may not always be the case, and we're built in a flexible way where we can make a change when it makes sense to do so.

I think OP has a valid argument. People who are 50+ now started programming when not many people even heard of computers.
The major increase in CS graduates in recent decade will mean that when 20-30 something will become 50+ year old in next 2 decades, there should be lot less ageism related factor as programming industry would have matured by then.
JavaScript Promises – There and back again – HTML5 rocks
From years of experience dealing with Windows preinstallations, I've defaulted to assuming that vendor-preinstalled operating systems contain malware/adware/etc. and installing a fresh copy of Windows (or better yet, GNU/Linux or one of the BSDs). While it's probably unreasonable to assume that all users can/should do this, it's certainly good advice, and it means that I've yet to be burned.
One possible explanation for that is that there are two kind of people, some who believe that everybody is working towards the same goal and some who believe that everybody should decide what their own individual goals are. The former group settle on money and social status as those universal goals, because they are reasonably common and can often (though not always) be exchanged for what you really want. The latter don't believe in telling other people what their personal goals are, because if they are different for every person, what's the point?

Under this model, 100% of the public discourse would be devoted towards achieving money and status. That does not mean that everybody (or even a majority of people) pursue those goals, only that people who do talk about it a whole lot more than people who don't.
The paper "Algorithm Aversion: People Erroneously Avoid Algorithms After Seeing Them Err" [1] has references to examples.

> Dawes subsequently gathered a large body of evidence showing that human experts did not perform as well as simple linear models at clinical diagnosis, forecasting graduate students’ success, and other prediction tasks (Dawes, 1979; Dawes, Faust, & Meehl, 1989).

Given that a majority of people (and doctors) fail even the simplest probabilistic reasoning tests, this is not particularly surprising. [2]

> We know from several studies that physicians, college students (Eddy, 1982), and staff at Harvard Medical School (Casscells, Schoenberger, & Grayboys, 1978) all have equally great difficulties with this and similar medical disease problems.

I meant the plan where there are discounts for partially paying in gold.

>you'd probably get audited sooner or later because other people are going to have to buy the coins and will then try to claim the market rather than face value as expenses, so there will be a steadily increasing imbalance between what they want to write off and the amount of income you want to declare, which will eventually send up a red flag.

It would send up a red flag, but could the IRS do anything as long as your gold-discount prices are still reasonable? Other than harass you with audits.

The goal would be to get it so that the coins are used at face value an average of 10+ times in a row, so there would not be a massive imbalance between the face value and what's written off. I'm sure there's a way to set up the incentives so it's cheaper to reuse the coin 98% of the time.

Mostly I'm wondering which category this scheme goes into:

* Blatantly illegal, will be shut down right away.

* Supposedly legal, will be shut down right away anyway.

* Legal, enjoy it while the loophole is rapidly amended.

I've alluded to this elsewhere, but the math doesn't add up to your gut reaction. It's cheaper, but not by a significant enough margin relative to the engineering costs, to go with commodity servers and GPUs.

Building things out of sheet metal is actually easier than migrating to Linux, for one big reason: we can pay someone else to do it, because it isn't part of our core competency.
