I suggest we use basic income to even pay wall street ceos - and here is why.

Give everyone a salary that allows them to afford food and rent. Including rich wall street bankers. This will help unsigmatize the "welfare queen" factor.

Second - since we have this habit of treating humans as lab rats and need to dangle "incentives" to drive them to be productive. Create a sliding scale on top that goes from 0 to S_max.

Everyone from the Walton family members to Jeff bozz gets paid S_max + food + rent and every homeless person gets paid 0 + food + rent.

If the overall GDP of the country improves S_max goes up. If there is food shortages or housing shortages then S_max does down.

What could be great about basic income is that you can safely fire a lot of bureaucrats without harming them. Some of them might even welcome the change from being paid to do meaningless job to being paid for literally nothing.
In that field I'd say your problem isn't really about your app, it's just hard for people to get into the habit of using an app, so a high uninstall app once people give up should be expected.

One thing that I haven't seen yet (and I haven't tried yours) is a way to add a task through the notification screen. I don't want a widget on my screen, and having to flip to the right screen to load the app is enough work that I just don't do it.
Sounds like they were junk bond strip mined.

In essence, a massive leverage is used to grab a controlling share, followed by a disassembly and sale to cover the initial leverage.

Companies that could well have provided a steady income for generations end up being slaughtered for short term Wall Street profits.

I think some companies/individuals hide behind the name(Sharing Economy)?

It just sounds fair, progressive, and everyone benefits? This Sharing Economy has make a lot of people insanely rich, provided a lot of middle class jobs(Programmers, Tech workers), and a lot of promises to the rest of us.

What's going to happen when these companies are streamlined, and running pretty well? All the kinks have been eliminated. The point, if they ever completely get past all the regulation; where all they really care about is customer growth? What's going to happen to all those good paying Programmer/Tech jobs? (In reality, I hope Tech workers will just move on to the next opportunity. I just hope certain companies don't get preferential treatment because they were the first to arrive? I hope Tech workers will have a lot of opportunities.)

I do think some of us will look back, and reminisce about the good ole days? And yes--that seems to happen with ever bull market, and subsequent fall.

I wouldn't be that concerned, but it looks like the big boys(Uber, Airbnb, etc.) are buying their rights to the party? A party that looking harder to get into daily? I thought by now, we would have a bunch of Ubers? It looks like their only competition is Lyft? Yea--I know everyone is waiting on the side lines waiting to see exactly what regulations Uber is required to follow? Maybe that's true?

It wouldn't be basic income if the wallstreet CEO's were exempt. Then it would be welfare.
Not necessarily, but could be the case. Typical malloc implementations have different management for at least small and big memory requests, using different pools, in order to reduce fragmentation. Also, because operations involving virtual address remap are expensive (realloc on a small block is faster with a full memcopy to adifferent location, rather than doing stuff involving the OS kernel doing virtual address remap).

The "problem" of malloc() function (or any other equivalent allocation stuff) is that internally manages free blocks (it is a middleman between the OS and user process -the purpose is to reduce OS calls-), if you have lots of them, dynamic memory could take time. For "malloc" I meant malloc/realloc/free, the whole kit. Those operations are not free (in most cases you're not going to have millions of allocations in one process, that was just an example of hidden things that could make your algorithm not behave like expected).
Purpose, or keeping busy at a minimum, is a tentpole of avoiding depression... even if it were seemingly "busywork."

Hi, Andries, thanks for taking the time to reply to me.

I like the idea of Task Putty and your pricing is great, so hopefully you'll let me provide some constructive criticism. As it stands, your website has none of the information that I would require to consider using Task Putty. There's no company name, address, or registration number. There's no cookie policy, privacy statement, or terms & conditions.

When we store candidate data (at least in the E.U.), we are responsible for storing it securely, keeping it for several years (for F.O.I. reasons) but no longer, and ensuring that it is used only for the recruitment purposes that it was provide to us for. We are responsible for vetting the services we use, and at a minimum, we would require the above. It's a liability issue for us.
While you are correct that the count of neurons is not the only thing the synthetic brain has to boast, merely saying 'wired like a rat brain' is not really much extra.

It does not speak to the complexity of the network. I interpreted that line as 'connected in the same topology' but immediately thought, yeah right, they definitely don't have the same 'branching factor' as a real rat brain. (not sure of the correct words here, but some real neurons have many thousands to millions of connections).

They have to systems to assess people's income: the tax people and the welfare people. Might as well reduce that to one system, the tax people.
The problem in those countries is taxes and social contributions. You need to make 10 in order to bring home 5, that kills work, completely. Now the basic income, so basically we want the State to manage even more of the economy. If past experience would prove this effective, then OK, but it just proves the opposite!

Let me do some back of the envelope calculations for you. In Europe we pay around 40% of income tax. On top we pay at least another 8% for pension, which we will never see, and another 8-10% for health insurance, which is not great at all. On top of that, companies have another 30-40% of cost, _on top_ of the bruto salary of an employee in taxes and similar to pay to the state. Bottom line: more than half of your cost to the company goes to the government.

It's just incredibly bad. If you have a 10% unemployment the most effective way to help people is to bring that down to, say, a 3%. That will help most definitely. But for that to happen you need to bring down the cost of labor, which is just too high.

And don't let me start with pension. Europe is basically starving an entire generation, you don't see it now, you will see in 30 years when the young of today will start to go into retirement age. There will be no money to pay a real pension to everybody. You know how much you need to have a very comfortable pension? At a 6% rate, about 500 euro a month for 40 years. That's it, that's all you need. Right now we are paying close to this amount for a public pension, will we see that money? Absolutely not.

Bottom line: they have to fix the economy. That's the only long term solution and the only way to bring people out of unemployment and poverty.
Of course Java. It's still one of the best platforms out there, especially if you weigh in performance, stability and availability of open source libraries and free or cheap hosting.
- I don't think "stuck in my room for 6 months keep trying to find "the right one"" is a good idea. Please change your plan/approach.

- Since money is not an issue, we can cross out the need to get a job to make ends meet and start thinking about fun things to do.

- I believe Idea is not a light-bulb moment after meditation for 6 months in your room; it sort of require you try doing different things in order to bump into the light-bulb moment.

More random advices:

- Do u like Hardware or Software? Assuming you are into tech ideas.

- Unless you have partners and funding, the scope of your project need to be within your own capabilities in order to reach mediocre success in terms of user adoptions.

- You don't need the best idea, just good enuf idea which interest you. Why passion/interest in important? So that you will work on it even though there is no money and users for 6 months, and you use/like your own product.

- Discipline. Build/Ship something every month is an interesting idea.
Yes, I tried using the React filter and failed. I switched to Gassetic (https://github.com/romanschejbal/gassetic) which is interesting but quite new and not well maintained. I couldn't make Reactify working with it which lead to way too long Browerify compilation time.

Next project I'll just use directly Gulp-or-whatever-is-fancy-then and find the simplest way to integrates it in Symfony/Twig.
ITM 0.1 km/h/year, and yes. The Pioneer Anomoly is a photon drive: the RTG gets hot, infrared photons get emitted preferentially in a particular direction (because the body of the spacecraft blocks them), and it's a simple reaction drive. Nothing fancy there.

You could make it loads more efficient by putting the RTG at the focus of a parabolic reflector. Now all the photons are being emitted in a single direction, which means you get much more thrust.

According to this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_photonic_rocket

...a perfectly collimated photonic rocket runs at about 300MW/N. Assuming you're New Horizons, you have a mass of about 500kg and a 4kW RTG, so you'll get a thrust of 0.1mN, which means an acceleration of 5x10^-8 m/s^2. Assuming my arithmetic is correct (a totally unwarranted assumption!), then over a year this adds up to a velocity change of 1.5 m/s.

I imagine they meant kw, and that 20w is close enough to 1kw. (btw, I thought the human brain uses a lot more than 20w, maybe 20w in chemical signals, but a lot more in heat?)

That's the case in many European countries with sophisticated welfare systems. In Austria, we can pay extra (I think ~1.5% of income) as self-employed to get unemployment benefits but I don't know how popular that option is in practice.

Personally (as a highly employable, fairly senior software developer, so I'm unlikely to be out of a job as long as I can work) what's worse than lack of unemployment benefit is dealing with times of sickness. I suffered from Lyme disease for about 2 1/2 years until it was diagnosed properly and treated, and in addition to the reduced income due to being unable to work at times, and the extra cost of healthcare (despite the insurance it's not exactly free) in Austria, they still expect you to pre-pay taxes and pension & health insurance contributions based on your earnings 1-2 years ago. In theory you can claim some money for a few weeks if you get sick, but (a) you have to completely shut down any business activity for that time and (b) you have to be declared unable to work by a doctor. (Unlikely, considering the doctors were all telling me there was nothing wrong with me and it was "stress"…)

A basic income would at least help deal with the reduced income due to sickness & extra costs due to healthcare. The pre-payment aspect is probably peculiar to Austria and apparently frequently bankrupts profitable small businesses.
I use this tool quite a bit. It's pretty nice, especially when SSHing into remote systems that don't have any UI available, but you need to do work with git repositories.

It's the best text-based tool I've seen for quickly visualizing git histories and diffs for each commit.
Same here. I have read several of the IMF Blanchard's school in grad school and naturally thought it would be the same guy. I got a little confused too.
One reason that these nets are not there yet, is that they are sticking to the 'firing' analogue of natural brains. They are using binary output over time that averages out, a technique that has so far been much slower than neural networks with continuous output.

4 Steps How to Refer on Uber and Get UNLIMITED Free Ride
The problem with combining smaller towns in Finland has been, that the now redundant workforce in each town has been given a long period of dismissal protection. Five years has been quite common. And in Kuopio some people gained even 15 years of dismissal protection!

We Finns may occasionally have great ideas, but then we manage to execute the great plan in a bad way. How can the combined towns save a single dime, if they don't do the work with smaller workforce. So far those new bigger cities have been just losing money, because everything from health care to education has to be renewed.
With free/in-app apps, a popular workflow for selecting an app to actually use is install half a dozen of the offerings, give each a test-ride worth a few seconds and keep the one that seems to best match personal usage patterns. 20% retention after the first five minutes might actually be a really good value!

If you do not have a means to tell those short-lived uninstallations from uninstallations by long-term users, those numbers are about as meaningless as comparing the number of play store page visits to the number of installations. Remember when the first online retailers panicked about abandoned virtual shopping carts?

That's the thing. Meaningless busywork is making people stressed and depressed.

Basic Income on the other hand would free people to pursue whatever purpose they themselves desire. You can make up your own meaningful job, cause you're already getting paid.
We should do more back-of-envelope calculations for countries, along the lines of:

(cost of healthcare + pensions + welfare + welfare bureaucracy + corruption) / population > basic income ?

If the value is greater or equal, basic income makes sense right off the bat.
This is what surprised me too!

That's just asking for problems.
The next concern of implementation: extremely common for people whom aren't good with money tend to not budget or buy what they need, and end up in crises of failure-to-plan ahead (economists call them "high MPC"). Some people will need guidance as to what to buy. Others won't.

A related concern is when people whom aren't good with money suddenly receive a pile of it: the sad Anna Nicole Smith syndrome: excesses in all things apart from improving or acquiring basic necessities. It's common in human nature to really screw up, and it literally kills some people. There has to be some programs/assistance which can offer/help locate specific recommendations and get people out of a bind at least once.

Hopefully, it can be implemented in a way which reduces risks of negatives and offers useful, advantageous advice without treating people as children or dipping into their privacy without permission.

I know why you're asking those questions. We all want to earn millions from doing little work.

Without a doubt I think luck is involved for these to go viral initially. There's no magic formula. For every lucky multi-million viewer channel with this sort of content, there's a thousand others who aren't so lucky no matter how hard they try.

The perfect storm of internal and external mentions and sharing strikes the right balance, propelling a few lucky channels above the foam to the very top. Once there, all that's needed is to keep making those videos.

Why the Insecurities? (Internet of Things IoT) [video]
You remove the marginal disincentive to work at the low income end. This is good.

However you add a large incentive to give up work at the higher end.

As an example, I own a house in london. I'm by no means rich but I have a fairly decent income and significant savings. Enough that if I downsized my house and lived frugally I could support myself for 10-15 years.

That's not enough to retire on. If I was to receive £4-5 free income a year though, it would make enough different that my saving would last 20 years or more and I'd be able to give up work now.

There might be a relative small number of people in my situation, but together we probably pay a great deal of tax that would be lost.

I think it is this that dooms any such scheme.

Can you cite some examples? I'm interested, because I seem to read a lot about how experiments with basic income actually tend to work out very well. (It certainly does in Alaska, although that isn't much money[0], as well as other examples[1] cited in this thread.)

> Europe we pay around 40% of income tax. On top we pay at least another 8% for pension, which we will never see, and another 8-10% for health insurance, which is not great at all. On top of that, companies have another 30-40% of cost, _on top_ of the bruto salary of an employee in taxes and similar to pay to the state.

I don't know how much you earn, or where you work in Europe, but I have never paid this much. Income tax and social security (including NHS contributions, so all my health insurance) in the UK was never more than 30% of my salary. It's about the same for me in Germany right now, if anything a little lower.

Maybe you're in a really wealthy income bracket, though, in which case -- congratulations?
