IANAE and would like to hear an expert's answer as well. But as far as I can see, the demand for basic food and shelter is not elastic, people need roof and bread always. And the capital is mostly reallocated from existing subsidies, not created. With UBI, prices for non-essential goods and services would maybe increase a little, and there would be a revolution in employment market, but my guess is that potatoes and basic accomodation prices would stay low.
This is the easy part. Hard part is hooking up to datastores with predictable performance. Great work though. Seems like RethinkDB could be a good open source fit for this?

There may be a pace and limit to grow for every of us, set by nature, background etc. It will not motivate you, moreover you don't know the price those people paid for being exceptional. Try to compare yourself today with yourself yesterday. Learn, build something. Apply the idea of deliberate practice - choose projects, jobs that are close to your limit, those that will make you struggle and learn more. Try to work with smarter people, pick their knowledge, good habits.

I got contacted by your HR staff a while ago, but I am getting kind of annoyed by the "just complete this coding test / large online form" before technical staff will even speak to me.

Its definitely put me off applying to a few places recently as I don't want to spend an hour and a half just to get a chance to interview somewhere.
No, even in my very small country with generally pretty tech-impaired police department, this was common before 2010. There was a big issue I think around 2006 because the police requested the list of IMEIs present near a particular rural transmitter to help investigate a murder, their court order was rejected as the transmitter was serving a huge area and it was deemed too large a privacy violation for too many people.

I'm sure it was done many times before that, and I'm also sure we were not the first.
Yes, but that includes wanting to do the job because they want to live, but not necessarily because they see it as a good use of their time beyond that.

Whatever domain you choose, you're reliant on the root servers for that particular TLD. All you can do is look at who runs it and see how competent you think they are (well, I guess you could try to negotiate an SLA in your contract with them)? Just as with e.g. national telecom operators, or national postal services, there are nations (large or small) that have highly competent, reliable TLD administrators, and there are nations that have unreliable ones.
I disagree. The Persian empire was just as (if not more) wealthy than the Greeks although not as technologically advanced.

I think what distinguished Athens (and Greece) was "tolerance" towards foreigners. Although they called them 'Barbarians' (meaning Not Greek - with a strong negative flavor), at the same time foreigners were welcome to study and teach in Athens. Most sophists (e.g. Protagoras and Gorgias) were not Athenians. Aristotle was not an Athenian citizen.

Socrates was poor. But he was craved by the young because of his spirit. At the same time you have political Satire openly mocking Socrates and other major political (some extremely powerful) figures of the Athenian life. Euripedi's 'Trojan Women' play, was essentially a commentary on the capture of the Aegean island of Melos and the subsequent slaughter and subjugation of its populace by the Athenians earlier that year! It's incredible the fact that he dared to do so! Of course that's the reason we still watch his plays (2.500 years later...).

IMHO it was tolerance that made Athens great.

Maybe we'd still be using something opt-in like Yahoo Directory, and maybe the web would be better for it. Yahoo directory was slower but in many ways higher-quality; it would've kept the web more decentralized (e.g. Wikipedia would not be the top result for half of queries). Of course there would have been short-term costs to that route.

> Human nature is people wanting to reap rewards for their work (that includes having private property). UBI doesn't take away that.

How are you going to pay for UBI? With taxes. If you already receive a tax free UBI, this means the percentage of taxes on your extra income will drastically increase (with factors, not percentages). This means that when you work for someone else (sell your time/products), only a tiny percentage will go into your pocket.

> By relying on private investors for a longer period of time, start-ups get more runway to figure out sustainable business models

Can anyone explain, what is the rough amount of runway that a company should need? For instance, are there rough estimates expected for when a company should be able to reach profitability depending on product type?

I was watching the How to Start a Startup lecture on how to raise money (http://startupclass.samaltman.com/) and was astonished about how many rounds of funding VC's expect to give out after seed funding (A, B, C, D rounds, the letters seem to keep going).

I'm thinking of bootstrapping a company and easily also see the appeal of getting funding, in order to hire a team and get the product out faster. But why are so many rounds necessary?

Is there some business or economics theory out there that would explain the amount of runway needed for each business or product type? For instance, if I were launching an ice cream truck tomorrow, I'd expect profitability in the very short term compared to say, something like SpaceX.

On Android especially, the Instapaper app is way behind the Pocket one.

Pocket mostly applies successfully the latest Android design principles. It is not perfect, but it is a solid implementation.

Instapaper looks like it has been written by somebody discovering the support lib along the way. Bad drawer implementation, no attention to detail. It does not even look like the dev is using its own app, because there are some seriously low hanging fruit that should be easy to solve (for example I can't click on the drawer icon, only on the title for some reason).

It's hard to justify a subscription with such a weak effort and it is probably a vicious circle where the dev doesn't have a reason to improve his app either.
What's the mistake?

The reason there are multiple DNS servers is in case one/some of them have problems. There are two other root servers for the .io. zone that are apparently functioning just fine. That means the overall system is working as intended, no?

Also, I don't think we know (yet) why five of the seven are down. If it turns out to be some "amateur hour" mistake then, sure, I could see it being used against ICB. If, however, the underlying issue is/was out of their control, then why should they be penalized?

ETA: It appears that the name servers are actually "up". They respond to ICMP echo requests but aren't answering queries:

I don't understand what you mean by "country-ran." .us and .uk are ccTLDs, meaning they were created and recognized 2-3 decades ago by ICANN based on ISO country and Territory codes. ccTLSs are among the oldest continually operating TLDs. In fact, .io is a ccTLD.

But that doesn't make them "run by a country". .us is not run by the US government. It is run by Neustar. There is not something that says Neustar won't have poorly available/slow name servers, beyond that same statement that the .io people said.

I did my studies in a university that was sharing some offices with the French office of statistics - called INSEE. The building was shaped as a combination of triangle (the INSEE, not my university, which was in a separate but nearby building), and I remember that whenever I had to go there - the administration had its office there - it felt so disorientating and I would get lost.

I believe it was a modern architecture, and the feeling of confusion was not on purpose. The first picture reminded me that building. I would hate to work in such a maze. Wasting time getting lost going to a meeting room, or looking for the desk of someone not in my closed quarters, would be very annoying.

Below a link to a picture of the building:

The widgets are running natively on the client. There's no interpretation / JIT layer between the two like with a web stack. All you're doing with OpenGL rather than Win32 is drawing your widgets to the graphics buffer directly rather than using Win32 libraries to draw the widgets. So, to go back to the original comment, it is a "native GUI" it's just not calling Microsoft or Apple's toolkit libraries.

This might sound like nitpicking, but you also have to bare in mind that it's not always as simple as saying "You want to write a native app, use Win32 or Cocoa". Half the time developers are running wrappers around the toolkits such MVC, .NET and wrappers to allow non-C et al languages to call C libraries. And even if you do want to directly call the "native" OS libraries, often there's more than one to choose from, eg on Linux things gets pretty complicated as there's several toolkits available (GTK, Qt, Motif, etc) and then a multitude of version of many of those libraries. Granted this doesn't solve the "many standards" problem, but at least it's a single dependency that runs natively on the client and draws directly to the graphics buffer - which has got to be better than the plethora of other cross platform implementations out there.
The Mystery of the Deterministic Super Shotgun
I'm guessing cost. It would be like asking people walking to only do so with a specific piece of hardware. The issue is as much to do with creating segregated space for walking, cycling, and motorised vehicles. Ideally you do not want them to mix. A bicycle is a very powerful way of "enabling" kids to get around, but you need to provide safe transport networks that connect communities to schools etc.
I hope this is costing them lots of money for fucking up.

That's great, and if it's essential for the UK, imagine how needed it must be in the US.

The UK has 243,610 square kilometers. California alone has 423,970.
You can think what you want. The problem is, you're thinking that the laws of the US apply to the world. They don't.

The concept of "fair use" is a US principle, though a few other countries have something similar. The "Freedom of Panoroma" issue here concerns the EU, which doesn't have fair use. As the link says:

> The reason Wikipedia can freely depict public spaces in most of the countries in the European Union is that we enjoy full Freedom of Panorama. This is an exception to copyright that allows people to make and use photographs of public spaces without restriction, while at the same time protecting the architect's or visual artist's rights.

You also seem to misapprehend what "fair use" means legally, vs. the generally incorrect folk understanding. Plus, Wikipedia's own guidelines say that they are more restrictive on the use of non-free media than what is allows by US copyright law. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content .

Every time universal basic income is discussed someone claims it can't be done because if we were to do this tomorrow the costs would be astronomical. That's true, but it's a bit like stating in 1950 that the world will never see personal computing because a computer costs millions and there are billions of people.

Universal basic income amounts to (providing or) paying for food, clothing and shelter. What is the cost of food when we have labgrown meat, the robots till the farm and self-driving cars deliver it everywhere?

What's the cost of shelter with industrial scale 3d-printing and robotic assembly?

What is the cost of providing everyone with basic clothing when all the factory workers are replaced with robots?

Stop worrying about the price of everything and start thinking in terms of scarcity. Will the stuff required for basic human survival still be prohibitively scarce in 5 years, 10 years, 50 years?

Stock market volatility resulting from irrationality of certain classes of investors (% weight depending on the sector), in extreme cases, can break even a healthy company.
> but that can only take you so far if you keep making the same mistakes you don't realise you're making.

Dunning-Kruger effect comes to mind. If you are confident enough you dismiss the possibility of being wrong and more importantly, the value of seeking alternative solutions to problems you may solve commonly.

So always be open to the fact that however you solve a problem, it can always be done better, and try to make time to improve on your approach. Sometimes you will find a better way, sometimes you won't.

> What else can one do to improve their skills in programming?

Explore different programming languages and programming paradigms. Don't ever hesitate to step outside your comfort zone. Adopt the view that programming languages are a toolbox, some performing one task better than the other, rather than each being general purpose / one size fits all.
The Persian Empire had a lot of subjugated populace. The worry of rebellion and other problems plagued them all the time. Greeks on the other hand were very laid back in comparison. The conditions for investment of available effort was very different between those two. The tolerance vs. discriminating attitude are in fact derived from the political relation which a group of people is with another group of people in such instance.
What's the cost of shelter with industrial scale 3d-printing and robotic assembly?

The cost of land plus the cost of raw materials plus the cost of extending the necessary infrastructure, so basically the same as today.

What is the cost of providing everyone with basic clothing when all the factory workers are replaced with robots?

The cost of raw materials plus the cost of machinery, so basically the same as today.

Basic labor is incredibly cheap today, (desirable) land and resources aren't.
Arguably, the problem with the Assembly was that they'd vote for whoever spoke the most convincingly, as opposed to who had the best argument. This wasn't much of an issue when Pericles was around, as he tended to be quite intelligent, but after his death the Sophists made their money by teaching people how to speak well (but not how to think well, as some of their contempories lamented), leading to a lot of persuasive idiots in the assembly.

Memorably, late in the Peloponnesian War, Sparta (who were winning) offered Athens an opportunity to end the war with no reparations. A pretty good offer, you'd have thought, but some people were making good money off the war and they spoke convincingly in the Assembly to persuade the people to keep fighting.
