That's a really great framing of this issue. Thanks!

Sometimes you have to take a bum deal, even if you know you're being exploited. This article isn't about telling Uber drivers that they're being exploited (the article references a…

OwnCloud[0] has a password manager (Passman) that I've been thinking about. [0] - https://owncloud.org/features/

>God forbid Trump actually does something bad Uhm, is this a joke? How about having an anti-Semite for a chief strategist[0]? Or selecting a woefully unqualified campaign donor to …

Doesn't sonos already have integration with spotify? Or is that only available if you're paying for spotify?

How about Chicago?

I'm arguing that the "intended outcome" isn't always complete recovery. If a patient with terminal cancer dies, that doesn't necessarily mean that the chemo didn't achieve its inte…

I don't think your example would qualify unless a real error was made e.g. the chemo killed them so there was a planning error in putting them on chemo. The truth is that many peop…

Really? What about Jurassic Bark[0]? That episode is extremely sad and precisely about the fallout of being cryogenically frozen. [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Bark

Warren Ellis' excellent Transmetropolitan touches on this as well. [0] - http://amzn.to/1Tzbd5T

I don't think your assertions are correct. This article[0] is a bit old (2015), but it puts the number of SUVs on the road at 35%. There absolutely are things you can do, though ob…

Yeah, I guess that assumption is an optimistic one. I tend to mostly think of UBI as a left/progressive issue. I only have a passing familiarity with what folks on the right think …

I would say that cutting out the middle person is part of how you pay for UBI. To me the highest benefit of UBI is that people wouldn't need to work/struggle to live anymore.

Why do you think UBI would be paid for by people who need it most? My assumption is that it would be paid for with a combination of cuts to social programs (i.e. those replaced by …

That's interesting. I guess I just assumed the user would have to add the bots. Otherwise how would they know what the meta-bot is capable of doing? Also, discovery of bots, especi…

Even before you get to burnout you get saturation where more advertising yields lower returns. There is a whole industry around advertising analytics and helping advertisers figure…

I think you may be overthinking 3 a bit. You only need to use the new bot enough to get enough info for the normal ranking method to work. Some simple solutions: 1. When a new bot …

In advertising there is a concept called effective frequency which is, essentially, how many times someone needs to be exposed to your ad before they make a purchase. This is tied …

Just to counter your anecdata with my own, I deleted the Uber app because I wasn't happy with their business practices (especially wrt their treatment of drivers).
