formula1

Some one mentioned on twitter how ironic Fidel castro died on black friday. His death has multiple dimensions of irony!

Why are cubans in miami celebrating his death? Are they misguided minorities that should follow the example of armchair politicians in privledged countries?

Will do! Im very excited for this. Containerization and safety is a very important problem to me. Im not particularly interested in running a docker instance or a vm just to use an application. And if I do, id prefer it being automated.

Ill give it a shot. Ive been feeling quite vulnerable on 16.04 due to the absurd amount of unfixed bugs. I have a couple of questions

- its mentioned that it does not have access to documents and downloads within the user folder. When it wants/needs read access, how am I told?

- if it doesnt have access to these folders, does it only write to its own subset?

- is it possible to make my home downloads folder an aggregate of the application downloads?

- when uninstalling/purging, since its sandboxed it deletes all of the content or keeps it? Can I force removal as well?

- how does subgraph deal with shared services/folders/info? Can I share a service with another user? Can I share the network setting modifications with other users?

- how can I prevent an application from using the network without my knowledge?

- are the tools like nethogs/top for subgraph that can take advantage of the compartments to show a more realistic view of whats going on?

I think this has a lot of potential!

My apologies

That was a very caustic remark. If your looking for sympathy, you will not find it with me like that. If you are looking for conversation, this is not how you keep it with me. Thank you for your time.

Its a question. They changed the focus from student debt to homelessness. I want to understand their perspective so I ask it.

Do you mind explaining how I contradicted myself? Honestly, Im trying to view this as if Im a parent about my child. If my child went to a loan shark and did something stupid, I would be angry at them. If my child went the official "promised" route to a better life through college for low income or higher lifestyle, I would be proud. If my child never went to college, I eould think there is something wrong with them unless they had an alternative path to success.

What is contradictary?

Thank you for the information! So you believe that the homeless problem is greater if not equal problem to tge student debt problem?

What do you believe is a good solution to a large group of young able minds and bodies wasted from lack of employment and an oversaturation of low income workers due to the inability for college students to find middle class work?

I sense alot of frustration and I hope this is cathartic for you.

Your not entirely wrong that I dont understand the homeless problem. Would you going in depth? I can respond but I get the impression you have alot to get off your chest.

Im glad I got someone with the shock value. Its clear you have a very unique perspective that I appreciate you sharing.

Female in lower income bracket - I believe this. I think this is a rather heartbreaking reality so I am a ok not going into this. What I do know is that Ive met a few peoples whos moms work 16 hour days as much as possible.

- chronically ill - the college educated are competing with the chronically ill for jobs

- mentally ill - the college educated are competing with the mentally ill for jobs.

- unable to afford - so they are working but cannot find housing. I believe it.

I dont think 'bail out' is the solution. Its 'salvage and prevention'. Ensuring that future generations dont fall into the trap and if they do it is an educated risk. And salvaging multiple generations lives who were chasing after the american dream.

Im all for helping those that cant help themselves. But Im also interested in getting those 60% there to 100%. If the "prividged" are having are hard time post graduation. The under privlidged have it even worse. We are talking about the future of basically educated children not just "foolish rich kids"

Its clear you wish to end this discussion so I will give you the final word after this.

Luck only goes so far. You need grades or sports to get in cheaply. The inflation of college prices isnt related to only the "1%" going to college. Nearly everyone goes [0], 68% in 2014. And if you dont, you either couldnt get in or smarter than the system could handle. To graduate you need to study, pass exams, write essays. College is not a free lunch only for the upper class. Its a bet the the american government guarentees because they believe a well educated workforce is a better workforce.

You say this with 20/20 hindsight and a unique perspective on supply and demand. You say this with what sounds anger and resentment towards successful people. I hope you view success and upperclass as a goal, or areat least a believer in independence and hardwork

The mass majority of americans are sheep that are expecting the gov and society to guide them towards a better future. These individuals worked hard for 4, sometimes more, years. What these people are lacking is an understabding of tge employment economy abd supply/demand. Since they dont have mbas its quite understandable to be this naive.

So now we have thousands of intelligent hardworking people who were led to the cloffside to jump. Arguably that is an example of survival of the fittest. Theres only room for cockroaches doing the dirty jobs and allstars doing the big ones. But considering our future depends on the survival and success on understanding the universe, it is in our best interest to ensure these hardworking individuals can be rewarded somehow and that future sheep understand how the world works so that their cliff is one of choice not of ignorance or force.

So your telling me

- tough luck, let them die

Im telling you

- these sheep were simply going down the path they were told

- they were ambitious, smart and hardworking enough to survive 4 years and graduate

- the economy only selects the best and the rest are left to compete in the same income bracket as the lazy, stupid, young, immigrant, unskilled etc.

Is it on the best interest of the united states as a nation to punish ambition? How do we guide people from here?

I would argue that the problem isn't "if the poor are screwed, bad. If the rich are screwed, ok."

I think the problem is eqch individual is pushed to go to college to find a good job which raises demand of college, which raises price. But those good jobs are barely out there for the graduates. And the college institutions didnt guide people down paths of success, instead gave enough freedom to find their own path to failure.

Now, you have a lot of intelligent hardworking (college is not easy) people who are in debt with a very abysmal perspective on their future. Their debt makes them worse off than working poor because any low income job would simply put them in the black. And the gov has their habds tied because america is a great believer in the free market yet a huge group of hardworking young people are effectively worthless and the coming generations are likely to fall in the same trap.

The article mentions that to write for Intels Xeon Phis, its x86. I imagine this is mostly accurate but is creating writing for this as simple as creating another thread? That seems naive

Looked into it, [0] looks like you add some compiler instructures before code you want to outsource to the coprocessor. It doesnt look extreme, mostly naming which variables need to be sent and to where. Ive never worked with cuda so I dont know if its a pain or not. Looking into it, it seems instead of x86 code it is cuda prefixed functions that will offload. Granted, there are speed advantages to having direct accessbto memory, I dont think Api is the biggest selling point.

Im quite interested in seeing if nvidia thinks this is a threat and how they will respond. New systems may stay with nvidia just because the experience and failures have been there. Though if the speed gains are even 25% I would bet there would be a migration

Agreed. Only stupid if theres no demand. And simply offering in itself is better than not. In a sense, this book can be viewed from the context of history. This book can also be viewed as examples of effective user experience. So much experience thst the individual was willing to pay $300 for a book that is intended to glorify a consumer product

This made me smile. Threat of big bad gov in a free market certainly gives incentive for people to give back

Please provide a source(s). I appreciate this kind of knowledge because I have little faith in american upperclasses approach to good will. But unless I see proof, I dont want to feel like ab angry fool

I highly doubt that will happen. There is no politicsl party that currently supports overriding the patent system inorder to provide for the general welfare. And hypothetically if it happens, I now know that any tech I build cant be too useful in case it just becomes a public survice.

Thats distant future. Farming, mining, wars, police, government, cleaning... Robots arent doing everything. Additionally, these robots are being paid for by companies. If the companies want to give a life to everyone, fantastic! However, Im not comfident that better profit margins translates directly to post-scarcity.

The reason the poorest amoung us doesnt drive the economy is because they have no money to spend. Why would a business pwner accomadate for an individual that would cause sognificantly less profit margins.

However, when the value of USD is considered the same. But I know that _every single_ person in american can buy muy product at current price and higher. I will certainly bump it up. High until I hit a maximum where profit margins dip then settle.

Health insurance is caused the Skrelli fiasco and epipen fiasco. Probably more to come.

Universal Income sounds like a great idea from a naive perspective. But the real issue is there arent other solutions for it to compete with.

> But it will be much harder to find cheap labour if the job sucks

Part of the purpose of a union is to negotiate the costs for hard labor. Unions can still exist and arguably have more negotiation power through the threat of not working forever. I think unions are an important step for our species in that the working force can negotiate with the leader force rather than pray for a peice of cheese with their bread. Part of me worries that participating will be considered unnecessary or even undesirable since "Big Gov is here to protect you from the evil cooperations"

> costs of us manufactured goods goes up

Chyna, chyna, chyna. But really, globalization effectively allows companies to exploit other countries if the us citizens dont want to play ball. Perhaps slave like conditions for other people is a side effect of refusing to do shit work for shit pay

> realestate/rental prices will rise to just below universal income

Perhaps Im cynical but I view all landlords as "how much can I take from you before you leave?" If a landlord knows they can get $1000 out if someone. Why not? Doesnt matter if its a poor neughborhood or college students. As demand for n

> "Those who want more money [work]"

So basically we have inflation and on top of that if you dont have a job your screwed. Prices dont stay the same as more money is available. They go up. And knowing that people can make even more makes prices go even higher

> local community jobs dont exist if no one leaves them

This is an interesting concept. How many people does it take to work a job 24/7? More importantly, how many people can be serviced per 6 hr shift? And how many hours can a job be worked? What industries are necessary for a community to survive without over dependence on a centralized manufacturer or capital? Must a community exist that exports an important good or city that connected communities are dependent on?

Im not a fan at "throwing money at problems". Much more intetested in finding long lasting and realistic solutions that are in line with how we got here. If free money can get us even further, so be it!

> time for innovation comes from imbalance of jobs and who controls them

If company A has a near monopoly on jobs in the area all people wantjng a job must go to company A. Company A now can say "we omly select people willing to work 16 hour days 6 days a weak for $1 an hour". Obvious issue

If building wingdings takes 4 years of education and puts indivuduals in severe debt (because colleges charge absurd sums), they certainly want more money. Company B is the only multi billion dollar company that is capable of paying a 10 man workforce an above average wage, company B can now say "you must work 16 hour days, 6 days a weak but you will make $101 dollars an hour!". Debt payment is $90, but at least your making $10 more than company A

The claim that "less work produces better results" is simply a hypothesis that doesnt account for fear as a driving motivator.

As more companies are able to provide for their employees in the way the employee needs financially, the more relaxed each company must become to get the employees they are looking for.

If company C offers only $80 an hour but you only work 5 hour days 5 days a week and they hire more people. This allows 3 people a day to have 5 hours > of free time and a livable wage. But can only exist through negotiation power and competition.

The reason why most successful companies run people into the ground is because it works. Amazon and walmart are great examples of this. Google only offers utopia in order to attract the greatest minds. But that is because they believe the value of a great mind on your team is worth more than what they spend.

I certainly support free transportation. A place like Flint can only exist because there is no escspe.

Pros and Cons to universal income

Pros

- the average citizen isnt afraid to find out next meal

- innovation can be more focused on convinience and love rather than people desperate to succeed

- individuals or families burdened with loved ones unfit for work dont have to sacrifice in order to provide for them

- homelessness becomes purely choice. Poverty is less of a motive for crime

- small businesses can hire people who simply want to work there without giving a competitive wage.

Cons

- it will be hard to employ for difficult jobs such as mining.

- the realestate or rental prices can all increase to just below universal income

- cost of goods can increase knowing people can pay for them

- the cost of US manufactured goods will increase since companies are now competing with the US gov to provide a competitive wage

- may lead to a totalitarian gov if too much slowness occurs

My argument against communism has always been "who works?". I dont think that more dependence of gov is as important as decentralization. Of goods as many services as possible.

If your local community has a local greenhouse or robotics or etc you can take care, you have a job

So long as that service can support more people than have to work it, you can make money.

Making more time for innovation comes from an imbalance of supply/demand for jobs and who controls them. If you can survive and thrive locally, the more centralized entities will be more competitive with their offers. Rents will only increase enough that people wouldnt be willing to move elsewhere. With universal income, all rents would increase and companies arent competing with local work (where an individual can master their skills), they are competing with the US gov over peoples will to be a self starter.

Im not entirely sure the Universal Income is the answer

So this seems to be more about the retention of data than it is about the collection. Where the retention of all data is not as important as a select few that pertain to national security. I'd love to play devils advocate here and claim that the agency requires all the information or court oversight of a spy agency is ludicrous. But I dont think any one branch should be judge jury and executionor. I wonder how much of this is symbolic? I know here in the US we are lucky to even hear about a segment of what happens. But I can certainly argue that many questionable deeds are done in the interest of the american citizens

Im not reading anything about opening ports on your routers firewall. Does this somehow circumvent this? Reading it further it seems to explicitly say "local" which probably implies you.ip.address.[0-255] is targeted.

I think this technology is intriguing and with some real use cases (more peer to peer) but the api seems disorganized. I cant tell if it wants to be another webstandard or be something different.

A part of me wants to dislike this and consider it as a distasteful competitor to pre-existing technologies that have learned to survive without "the web". Another part realizes that sandboxing these technologies protects and enables the average user in regards to awesome tech. This certainly wont replace torrent, webrtc or other existing p2p technology. But I certainly think its a cute way of opening up the field.

Thats really interesting. Im curious why they havent been more popular. Were they heavilly focused on fps's?

Is $40 really not worth a year or more of experimentation? You can also do a lot of learning through replays or vs AI.

I personally am willing to pay $40 for an environment to test my ai on for a couple months.

What are you willing to sacrifice to say no? How about your immediate comfort and free time. Thats the real cost. Its not "when it happens we'll stabd togethor", Its "youtube videos or protecting the world from a potential future threat that everyone will think Im crazy for worrying about"

Bans should never keep you back. A fake email is pennies to how much is gained from learning or building something incredible

I suspect this will eventually lead to AI as a service for games. Rather than build a terrible AI that delays a game by months, approaching a company that can build a decent AI initially which gets better overtime would probably be ideal and create better experiences.

Im curious if a startup can be built from this.
