While true from a per capita equivalency and too close for comfort, the median net worth of an adult in the UK is roughly $150,000, while in Mississippi it's $15,000. Also, its public services are provided, which substantially affects the quality of life.

The world needs Someone with enormous chutzpah to try this.

"Choose your heroes" is the first advice I've heard in a while that's making me stop and think who I hold in high regard with my actions.

The personality of creator really shines through in the software. Douglas Adams would be pleased, I hope loads of hackers will be inspired to make more 'Adamsian' robots.

These are notes from me defending the following positions at a debate. Can any hackers do a better job defending or attacking any of these positions?

* AI-driven experiments will soon replace traditional research: False

* Adaptive, personalized interfaces should be the default standard for all digital products: True

* “Web” must evolve from static pages into immersive app-like experiences: False

* Seamless cross-platform UX: start on mobile, to web, finish in AR/VR: True

* Speed-touch-gesture-driven interfaces will eclipse screen-based Graphical UI: True

More power to sponsors putting their money behind hopeful futures. I was recently at a conference where the speaker compared this future visioning with that of blade runner. She was was almost posing it as, why not be hopeful? Theres more to gain and it's more challenging.

'Built to fail' by Alan Payne painted such a richer picture than the binary "netflix came along" argument. The writing had alot of emotional investment since the author owned so many shops in the blockbuster franchise.

A little more dense: "Chip War" by Chris Miller... a macro economic/political picture of silicon valley growth that fills in so many holes in popular lore.

Can we just skip all the Atlas shrugged swellhead arguments? They take up all the air in the room/(scroll in the page) of every best book thread. Just bump it up if you agree, provide an alternative if you don't.

"A history of western philosophy" by Bertrand Russell. The world's most prominent philosopher at the time, took a few years out of his working at the front line to write a summary on 2000 years of thought for layman's and won a nobel prize. It's not the easiest read, you can take issue with some interpretations but theres nothing like it. I think it required reading for being a thoughtful human.

“A precious book … a work that is in the highest degree pedagogical which stands above the conflicts of parties and opinions.” – Albert Einstein

Tipping is an awful trap. Passing on the responsibility of fair wages should be outlawed. Passing on some inferred responsibility as a burden onto the customer is a loss for all parties. Normalising the behaviour only allows employers to perpetuate this myth that customer service workers are somehow entrapraneurial in they can make more based on their effort. How about just paying people fairly and not paying for poor performance? How does it make any sense to pass this responsibility on to the customer? All customer touch points should be handled by the limited entity.

Well done @keybits for reaching out for help. Another option is that you could split the workload between 3-4 data archivists and start a separate archive until it finds a better home. Personally I don't have the time for this but more people might have the time for a 1 year effort if you were to provide your setup. A few other archivists have been suggested on this thread. Perhaps they would take a portion rather than the whole responsibility, it could be pretty cool to have a bi-monhtly catch up with others with the same hobby and who would all be eager to share their discoveries!

I still use pinboard every week. I also find it very interesting to follow what other people are pinning. There aren't many niche places to follow ONLY the notable links of other hackers.
