Lack of automation is holding UBI back. If too many people drop out of the workforce, society will collapse. That won't be a problem when we can automate the job of anyone who drops out, but right now we can't even come close.
Worse, if you leave a negative review, future homeowners could see them and decide not to rent with you because you are the type that leaves negative reviews. And that is an entirely rational thing for them to do.
In a world where everyone reviews everyone, airbnb type places are a lot less likely to have negative reviews. It's not worth giving a negative review and getting negative effects in the future. So you start getting reviews like this:
"It was a great experience. I enjoyed looking at the interesting patterns the mold made on the bathroom tiles. Five stars."
Another thing: for a while, Agoda would ask you to rate a place, and if you didn't put five stars, would ask, "What was wrong with this place?" As a result, it was easier to just not review, unless you wanted to give them five stars.
Lately I've stopped looking at hotel reviews at all, and just sorting by cleanliness rating. If it doesn't get a top clean rating, it's probably not worth visiting.
I still design with Skeuomorphism. While not in fashion, we are pushing on figurative buttons and I've seen precious few buttons in the real world that are flat, shadowless monochromatic tiles.
The trick is to make it fairly subtle
The attack on Skeuomorphism was led by people without the skills to design that way. Flat is easier. That is my theory.
Before the war, the north said it was about "preserving the union" and the south said it was mainly about slavery (the documents are still there, you can read them). That's because northerners wouldn't have fought to free some slaves. After the war, the North said it was about slavery, the south said it was about the right to secede. Now southerners say their ancestors were brave and good people, and northerners say they were a bunch of racists. Weirdly, all of them these viewpoints are partly true, and everyone in war has their own personal reason for fighting.
If you want to look at the Fuschia source code, it's available here. To me, it looks more like a college-level project, rather than a kernel that has come into contact with the messy realities of the real world.
Their goal is to make things secure, and they want to do things 'right' by making it a micro-kernel.
Again, to me it looks like the authors have good knowledge on the theory side of things, but lack understanding of a lot of real-world use cases. For example, they removed a lot of the syscalls that the Linux kernel has, it's not Posix compliant, and you really should think long and hard before removing things in a decades-old, well-tested standard.
But who knows, maybe they'll get lucky and hit all the use cases Android needs. Maybe someone with experience will help them make the kernel solid. But most likely, the code will get uglier and uglier as it needs to accomodate more use cases, until it's so ugly that someone at Google starts a side project to replace it.
I don't get the Core hype. It's supposed to be more cross-platform, such as running on Linux and Android, but for typical business apps, what does it give one besides migration headaches from pre-core?
It lets you run your server software on a Linux cluster in the cloud. That's basically it.
if you believe the extrapolation they did with their AI. (Why AI instead of simple arithmetic?)
It seems like they trained it to distinguish abusive from non-abusive tweets, using a relatively small dataset. Then they sent the AI out to classify at a much larger set of tweets on the internet.
That's a fairly common scenario.....companies don't want to pay for the extra bandwidth for the first-day rush, and people complaining "I can't get in!" only gives them more free advertising.

He's a troll.

If it makes you feel better, the rest of us still think ya'll are a bunch of prisoners. No big deal, it's why you're there.
Where does the tracking end?
As soon as they leave school (the sensor area), or put the RFID chip in aluminum. These chips don't have a very long range.
What is next?
Now this is a slippery slope fallacy. Just because schools use RFID in uniforms doesn't mean you're going to be implanted with RFID.
This is bad for anyone but perhaps especially harmful for children- if they grow up thinking they are always being watched by people not there,
You already think you're always being watched by people not there. This is not "Always being watched" it's "being tracked at school."

Some people won't be able to find their way home, won't know who to call, and won't have any money without their phone.

That's normal for UIs. Before it was "throw it under the right click menu". The only difference is that now web pages do a lot more than they used to.
How is Amazon delivery?
When kids are at school, you want them to be tracked. Kids have been tracked and monitored at school for decades.
C++ isn't a language. It's five languages.
The USA wouldn't care. Apparently they'd continue building the wall, and not worry about a silly website.

As a concept OS, what is there that's new or interesting? People are talking about Fuschia replacing Linux in Android.
It will happen when people leave, new people come, and the whole thing just runs on inertia. Already there are plenty of competitors to Amazon.
Greybeards are the ones who've built a bunch of OSes. They have the experience.

$250k is fairly common for senior developers in Silicon Valley right now.
Aluminum cans don't have a lid. They can't be resealed once they are opened, making them inconvenient.

They really needed a control group here.

Good call, he could win easily.
