I'm not suggesting that unemployed people do the jobs of the people who leave the workforce - just that someone does it, and someone moves job to do their job, and so on, until eventually an unemployed person gets a job. There might be people who are really hard to replace, but they're so unusual that they're not really worth considering when you're talking about national policy.

No one could reasonably suggest that a nation should base their welfare policy ideas on whether or not a few thousand people will be hard to replace if they retire.

App evolution is purely Darwinian. There is no $$ lock-in, so as soon as the user finds what he feels is a better one, yours is killed off.
As to what is a better one, it might be that it has more functions, less crashing, easier to use, lower CPU burden, better marketing BS and so on - nothing stands still.
So you have to fine tune your ap to make it evolve faster than the others into a better thing.

C# runs perfectly fine on Linux and Mac.
It should really be unconditional basic income (as it's called sometimes). The main risk I see is that conditions creep in, e.g. if it gets tested only on people who are currently on welfare. I think a low UBI can still have a small effect, and there is no need to go from zero to 1000€ per month in a single day. The amount can be adjusted by the usual political processes, and if it gets adjusted towards zero, well - then maybe the people who vote didn't actually want to grant this small amount of freedom to each other.

There are already a lot of restrictions on immigration in rich countries for this exact reason.
I love the idea -- you could even come up with a 30-40 year plan to reduce working hours to 20 hrs/week while gradually increasing a basic income. Perhaps we could end up in that Star Trek future we've all been hoping for.

Implementation, however, looks tricky. I'm not at all sure it will roll out the way people think it's going to roll out. There's a lot of hand-waving about the effects, but it's mostly smoke and no fire. We really need some real-world data from various experiments to make better choices. There's also a vast difference between the slogan "basic income" and the actual details of how it would all work.

But as you point out, aside from all of that, there's a very real political problem: we've created a large political caste that likes identifying some great misjustice and passing various social programs to fix them. These cost money. For existing programs, lots of folks have intricate ideas about how to tweak things so that they work even better. These take simple systems and make them opaque. In short, we might be able to create enough wealth over the next few decades such that we could see an incredible change in the living styles of most people -- but dang if I can see the political system actually letting that come to pass. Oddly enough, it's not because of direct opposition. It's the "embrace and extend" folks that could cause far more damage than anybody else.
The problem with a basic income is that for it to be close to enough to live off, it'd be very very expensive — way too expensive. Giving everyone in the US enough to be above the poverty line, say $12,000 (which is hardly enough to live off in many areas), would cost $3.8 trillion, which is what the entire US federal budget is now.

So, people with disabilities and people who are unemployed would be left worse off, with an amount they can barely live off. Not exactly the situation we want after enacting our utopian basic income program.

The only way around that would be to give people with disabilities and the unemployed more money. But then that means you can't eliminate the welfare institutions needed to identify them and cut them checks.

Curious that the author suggests an explosive rate of improvement in robot performance but then fails to mention any positive examples of robot performance. Instead the entire article focuses on positive rates of improvement in many constituent technologies needed when building robots.

Judging from the inability of every robot in the most recent DARPA challenge to even get back up after a fall, I'd say today's robots have a long way to go before a Cambrian level of explosive growth is shortly forthcoming.

Although there seems to be enough support by MPs for basic income so that it realistically could be trialled, I wouldn't be holding my breath. The government has too many other things on its plate.

Finland is suffering from a period of slow growth and rising unemployment. The three immediate reasons are the economic troubles of euro area, the decline of Nokia, and the trade sanctions against Russia, one of Finland's largest trading partners. Add to that the quick rise of wages until 2008, the aging population, an expensive social welfare system, and the inability to devalue the local currency, and the troubles seem very hard indeed.

The government's main goal is to adapt the Finnish economy to the new reality, by spurring growth and improving state fiscals. It has many options on its plate, basic income being one of them.

Currently, however, the government's focus seems to be in short-term. The current hot topic is the so-called "social contract", which is essentially government trying to make a deal with labor unions to increase the length of work week from 37,5 hours to 40 (or a similar reduction in wages). This plan, perhaps not so surprisingly, seems to be failing. After it is buried (probably within the next few days), the government may try "fiscal devaluation", i.e. moving tax burden from companies to citizens. And then some painful public finance cuts. And after that, who knows what?

Regarding long-term efforts, other pending reforms have more support than basic income, but still not enough agreement to be hammered out quickly. The two most important ones are health care reform and the change of municipality responsibilities. Both of these have been in talks for years without signs of being resolved.

All this is made more difficult by the fact that the rising populist party 'The Finns' is in government for the first time, still learning how it wants to play the game.

In summary, it isn't clear when the government will move from short-term considerations to longer-term restructuring, and if the basic income will still be on the plate then.

Edit: grammar.

I think an important economic impact people forget for Basic Income is how it will liberate people to pursue vocations, invention and education. How I expect this to show in practise is an explosion of culture and learning and new tech (hardware and software) - ripe for secondary commerce.

You're thinking of how it will shuffle money around, you aren't considering how it will shuffle opportunity around.

We are speaking of a period of time in humanity's timeline that lasted 2.6 millions of years without any significant development, in which the life expectancy was apparently 35 for men and 30 for women and during which we suffered at least one near extinction event.

I would find the "paleo" trends to be funny, if it wouldn't be so disturbing that people can believe such bullshit.

I need to sit down and go through your numbers, but something does not seem right. Are you assuming everyone gets $12000 regardless of age?
You can correspondingly increase taxes on people earning substantially more than the basic income. Unconditionally increasing everybody's final (post-tax) yearly income by $12k isn't an outcome anybody expects (or should expect).

One way of modelling basic income is as a negative income tax.

However one of the advantages of making it "unconditional" (but not necessarily actually beneficial to high income people) is that it buys political acceptance from the middle classes especially.

Ask HN: Are NDAs Just Security Theater?
For the past couple of years I've felt NDAs are a form of security theater. They create the illusion of safety, and don't actually make you any safer.

An NDA won't stop anybody from disclosing information, and only regulate the aftermath.

Personally I don't sign NDAs, and was wondering if you generally do sign an NDA?
And why, if you ask for somebody to sign an NDA, you do?
I've tried Virtual Machines like this before and found that while they work great they're clunky, take up precious space, and I need to test with many versions. I've tested a few paid solutions (Ghostlab, Browserstack, Cross Browser Testing) and so far am sticking with Browserstack. I have absolutely no association with any of these websites, only clients who demand their websites work in archaic versions of Internet Explorer :P

I do still use the IE VMs for testing, and I even use a real PC for further testing once the website is "ready". Just lately been preferring to quickly test while developing in my browser without worrying about spinning up a VM or anything.

The one thing tig is really good for imo is the interactive log view with branch information etc.; it also loads asynchronously, so e.g. the Emacs repository will still take quite a while to load for all commits, but it's usable in the meantime.

Is our tech savvy culture changing Dubai real estate?
It is, you just don't know about it I guess. I spent the past 15 years working for Sanmina, another global high-tech manufacturer like the aforementioned Flextronics. Just within the US we had facilities in CA (Fremont, Livermore, Newark, Costa Mesa), AL (Huntsville, Guntersville), NH (Manchester, Derry), WA (Bothell), SC (Fort Mill), NC (RTP), TX (Allen, Carrollton, El Paso), CO (Louisville, Colorado Springs), AZ (Phoenix), UT (SLC) and more. These are factories building everything from simple injection molded plastics or PCBAs to stuff like MRI machines and military avionics. In the San Jose area we helped do DFM on Bloom Boxes for Bloom Energy, and designed & build massive storage arrays for Netflix.

Just because most people don't know about US manufacturing doesn't mean it's not still around, and in fact has hit recent peaks as the economy has recovered after the global recession (we'll see what happens now that economies are wavering again).
Interpretation of logo is subjective, this social networking app is about both pic and audio so it was never an intention to related logo with voice.

Amazon: The Story of Productivity Taken Too Far
PureVPN Beta Program – Electronic Footprints
In Germany we have a welfare system that requires you to take on pretty much any job if you become unemployed. If you only qualify for low-income jobs this can mean you end up taking on a job that pays you below welfare and welfare actually has to bridge the gap and pay you the difference.

This not only means you're working for the same money you would have if you didn't work, it also means there's pretty much no way for you to improve your income unless you can change jobs to a significantly better paid one. Even a raise or bonus wouldn't change your bottom line as the welfare is adjusted 1-to-1 for every cent you make.

This is IMO the greates disincentive of our welfare system. There's no advantage to finding an actual job when you're on welfare and don't qualify for jobs that pay significantly more than welfare. It's unsurprising that some game the system by intentionally failing job interviews and doing ludicrous amounts of trainings instead of finding and getting a (low-paying) job.

I don't know whether a blank check is the right solution here, but a frequently mentioned alternative for the skeptical is basically a negative income tax: for every two cents you make on top of basic income, you pay one cent (or whatever fraction -- the actual percentage is irrelevant to the idea as long as it's below 100%). This avoids the financial "dead zone" created by the 1-to-1 adjustments of the current welfare system.

If anyone is interested in NLP and hasn't had the chance to use spaCy yet, give it a go now - it's just two commands: "pip install spacy" and "python -m spacy.en.download" =]

spaCy is perfect for web-scale NLP (a term I don't use lightly consider I crawl billions of pages a month) and is AGPLv3 for hobbyists / academics / open source developers. It comes with an existing language model for English, a concise API, and many other goodies baked in by default (i.e. word vector representations). Even though it's in Python and near state of the art in terms of accuracy, it's far faster than just about any other parser out there. Finally, the demos and documentation are consistently strong and continuously improving.

I'd highly recommend checking out the "marking adverbs" tutorial, which shows how to develop features you might use in a proofreading tool in a few dozen lines of Python.

n.b. I was in the same NLP research group with Matthew Honnibal whilst he was obtaining his PhD at the University of Sydney, so I'm biased, but only as I've seen his work in person!

Finn here. Some figures to put the floated numbers of 500-1000 euros/month in perspective:

Average salary, before tax: 3150 EUR

Average salary, after tax: ~2000 EUR

Market rent for one bedroom apartment in central-ish Helsinki: 1000 EUR

In other words, 500 EUR/month is a tolerable budget for a skin-flint student living in subsidized/free accommodation, but it's going to be pretty tough going for an adult, and completely prohibitive for eg. raising a family. 1000 EUR would be more realistic, but obviously also twice as expensive to implement.

Food for though:

raw cost for a below-poverty annual subsidy of $12.5k to all adults in the United States:

209,128,094(&) * 12,500 = 2.6 trillion USD/year

That's equal to about 66% of the 2015 federal budget or 15% of 2015 GDP.

Would that make it affordable or unaffordable?
