Same goes for food, etc. my point was that not everything has to be for financial gain -- we have basic needs that are higher in the priority stack and will always be there. About homes specifically - they have a life span too so they even

You may invest to meet your basic needs. People used to build a house so they could be sheltered from them elements, not just to flip it.

If more people could get more, then price inflation would adjust to reduce its buying power :-(

Idea for TAs and profs: build an opportunity for early feedback by requiring a two stage submission - an early draft two weeks before the final submission. Drawback is that it increases work load for the teaching staff.

I wish a local person could give us their perspective on this initiative.

Would a basic income simply cause a rise in the cost of living (housing, food, etc...) and therefore nullify its intended effect?

I find some of the attitudes towards equity / cash salary baffling. If you care about the "safety" of a cash salary, join a big, established company. You'll have limited upside but a more stable cash income. No risk, n

Why should there have been any morals in the first place? Does nature by default have morals?

Google web search has exactly the same behavior. They are able to massively extract value from that flow.

Odd, the rims on the electric version look just like Tesla's turbine rims. I never owned a Saab myself but I get the impression they are solid, lovable cars.

Adblock could be off by default and if enough people 'vote' a site as bad by activating it for that site, then it will become 'on' by default.

> "For better ads tomorrow, block ads today" The problem with ads and ad blockers is that if a significantly large percentage of sites have bad ads, people will install and use ad blockers. Ad blockers will by default block ad

Uber is different than Homejoy. You would use the same house cleaning professional over and over again but you will likely never ride with the same Uber driver again. This means that the Homejoy house cleaner can bypass Homejoy but the Ube

The last mile is still being handled by retailers. The buy button primarily fixes the UX friction of having to leave the experience, go through a horrible mobile web checkout flow, enter your information again, etc... Imagine those replaced

'Buy' buttons can make a big difference, specially on mobile. Most retailer's mobile web experience is horrible, specially their checkout flows. An inline 'Buy' button can increase conversion rates anywhere from 2-

Correct and thanks for those links. Pipes was influenced by unix pipes (hence the name). The UI was influenced by National Instrument's LabView and Apple's Automator. I wish Pipes was launched in the age of containers (e.g. Docke

Thanks :) Pipes's interface is primary the work of Jonathan Trevor, with lots of help from Daniel Raffel, Ed Ho and others.

IFTTT and Zapier are spiritual successors to Pipes, although their focus is on APIs vs feeds. Maybe start a new, open source version of Pipes?

pipes creator here: sad to see pipes shutdown. i am surprised it lasted this long -- it was abandoned years ago. on the positive side, it is nice to see it mentioned in the same sentence as y! maps which used to be a big deal back in the

For us software engineers, the details of how something is implemented become more important than the goals they serve. Navigating to a site using a URL is such a detail. Main stream people only care about the end goal. Searching for a s

This is a really nice, reflective post that represents a lifetime of lessons. I'd encourage people to read it carefully. Tim O'Reilly changed the trajectory of my life and probably countless others how self-taught themselves usin
