Finland already has high rate of refugees compared to Estonia or France(?). I don't think UBI changes that picture at all, as the refugees already get any money citizens would.

At very least the perverce incentive of wellfare to non-citizens should be acknowledged. But that's not politically correct at the moment.

I don't think it's good for the refugees themselves either in the long run. Their children could have been doctors, lawyers and engineers in Syria, Egypt of Turkey in 2050. Now they are destined to be third class citizens in cold and dark north.

> What put me off academic research was essentially the utter lack of "genuine" teamwork - when a lot of interactions with a colleague become negotiations about whether your name goes on their paper and if so in what place it all becomes a bit tedious.

At least the "in what place" problem is solved quite elegantly in mathematics, where the names on a paper are simply in alphabetical order. Being a mathematician I'd wish that other sciences would also apply this practice.

A bias is not bigfoot. You can clearly prove that there is fairness ("no bias", but we can phrase your negative as a positive) by simply showing that things are equal. All you have to do is count males and females and show that they are equal.

If things are not equal, you can still prove that there is no bias by asking the disadvantaged group for their opinion. It's not like polling this group is impossible.

Progressive tax means that the marginal rate increases with income, so, no, BI plus flat tax isn't (even viewing BI as negative tax) a smooth progressive curve, its still just a flat marginal rate.

If BI is also excluded from taxable income in an otherwise "flat" scheme, it's effectively a two-tier progressive tax system (many proposed "flat" taxes without BI also follow this model), with a zero % bracket and one other bracket; still not a smooth progressive curve. A smooth progressive curve is when marginal (not total) tax rate is a continuous, monotonically increasing function of income (probably asymptotically approaching done limit.)

yeah. i am using it to build an html template for generating PDFs. both because I am lazy and because hbs is new to me I find myself offloading heaps of logic to it.

I could imagine this becoming a bad habit, especially starting to use it as a programning language.

I have a line like:

../../obj

and tried to parse down to a different context with:

../../obj.type

I quite like handlebars, but the author is certainly correct. Error handling is bad and it definitely can be tempting to offload logic too
Yes, you have to explicitly enable it otherwise it triggers a compiler error.
In summary; this was a far less rigorous review than IARC which found the opposite.

In arriving at its conclusion, EFSA relied heavily on the glyphosate assessment conducted by German pesticide regulators, which was based on egregious violations of accepted standards for interpreting studies. For instance, faulty statistical methods were used to reject clear evidence that glyphosate causes cancer in experimental animals.

Second, EFSA only considered studies on the active ingredient, glyphosate, whereas IARC also considered studies that were done with various formulations of the herbicide, in which glyphosate is mixed with other substances that can be toxic in their own right, or make glyphosate more toxic. Such formulations are what farmers and consumers actually use.

Third, EFSA assessed some studies provided by the pesticide industry that IARC rejected because they lacked critical information required for proper interpretation, and/or were not publically available.

I disagree with the author's attitude towards mercenaries operating in foreign countries. Having read "The Modern Mercenary", by former Blackwater merc, Sean McFate, I am fully convinced that mercenaries have a desirable and necessary place in future conflicts.

Take Afghanistan for example. It is a nation at a major geographic crossroads that truly acts as a set of tribes and alliances, not a Westphalian-style state that is Westerners think ought to be the standard. That's why no matter how much "nation building" we do, nothing succeeds.

Instead, as McFate argues, we should have mercenaries prevent groups like al Qaeda from using that space to plan attacks on American soil, instead of spending political capital on forever wars. Mercenaries will be seen as a foreign defense mechanism against terrorism, like what we see the TSA doing at home. (Disagree with their tactics all you want, but they have stopped some bombings).
No, you'll have to estimate or count manually, as it stands. An "end game now" button sounds like a reasonable fix, though.

Sweden is slightly less ridiculous, particularly for the very richest. And it is culturally and geographically close - in case you want to visit that aunt, and want to set up a company, and whatever. The way society, legislation etc. operates in Sweden is familiar. (Some laws passed by the Swedish king in 1734 were valid legislation in Finland until replaced quite recently, 1996.)

But of course people are running elsewhere as well. Recently there has been fuss about wealthy pensioners moving to Portugal where they pay no tax.

If you've been programming and using SQL for a few years, it's not a problem. It might take a bit of time to get the feeling of SQL, but it's ok later. And that's fine. rails-15min-blog things are cool and all, but some things have a learning curve and that's ok.

The vast vast majority of SQL in the wild is pretty straightforward and sucks only when the schema sucks (can't blame language for that). Most of the time people hate SQL, they do so because they are working with crap schema (whether someone else created it or they themselves didn't think it through enough). Sane schema + putting a bit of effort write readable SQL can go a long long way.

Ask HN: Offline reader for HN with async voting and replies?
For fast batch reading and filtering of HN comments, it would be easier to read from an offline cache. Ideally, it would be possible to queue votes and comments while offline, for later posting when online.

This would be similar to async Usenet and would lose the real-time conversation with a large thread audience, but it could increase access to the vast archive of comments. More voting against the HN "back catalog" would surface quality comments from the archives. An offline reader could also merge threads which comment on the same story.

Are there OSS offline readers for HN which could be used as a starting point for development?
Coal's only cheap when you don't bother to count all it's negative effects, which will predominately be borne by the poor people you're (slightly bizarrely) claiming to serve.

Coal isn't something worth celebrating, it should be phased out as quickly as possible. Every unit of coal not burned will let us burn twice as much natural gas in terms of CO2, and with far less pollution. And we have more gas than we can burn without blowing our carbon budget anyway.
There's just one sad trouble with the current state of tooling: Scala and SBT in IntelliJ IDEA do not go together.

Each Scala run inside SBT-enabled project takes >10 secs minimum to run. Every single run. SBT make is invoking the full SBT startup sequence and is unable to reuse the session. This comes from the context of using Play Framework where you can't substitute SBT with something else.

I do hope that SBT server becomes a reality at some point and IntelliJ Scala plugin is able to fully use it.

you fail to cover more than 90% of the jobs that just need to be done, and require 0 or less creativity.

as an example - what I do to earn money, while enjoying it mildly as abstractly creative process (software development) is vastly different from what I do in my free time (mountaineering, travelling, general wilderness adventures). You cannot buy my vote on this with some basic 1000 USD income, if you tax high earners like hell on the other side.

One thing I saw consistently all around the globe - people need motivation to give their best and try hard, only few deliver without it for sheer pleasure. It doesn't have to be monetary one, but this one is universal and quite well oiled principle. BI doesn't offer me anything - I want to work, I don't have an issue finding next job, and if there is anything between, we have working social system that helps me. What does BI offer to somebody like me?

Honestly, as someone who associates with a lot of gun enthusiasts, I think that the AR platform is quite easily modified into fully automatic -- just replace the sear from a semi-automatic sear to a full auto sear.

You have to have a BATFE approval and pay a tax stamp to possess a full auto sear, but the work in switching from semi to full auto is pretty minimal.

A more apt scenario that people would clamor behind is a semi-automatic firearm that had a fully automatic failure state. That would be terribly unsafe, and everyone on both sides of the gun debate would be demanding it got fixed, just as they would if a firearm were on the market that could accidentally fire when dropped.

Both of those used to be fairly common scenarios, but are now both exceedingly rare thanks to advancements in gun safety.
And also, this being a tech oriented start up targeted discussion site, it would be important to get the basic units of internet service correct in the titles.

Comments on Cross-Device Tracking to the FTC
I think that, fundamentally and strictly speaking, progressive taxation doesn't qualify as "dealing" with the problem. It's not a solution, it doesn't even attemp to solve it. It's just a quick bandage; an attempt to minimize.

And, empirically, you can see it. In my country (Portugal), with a supposedly agressive progressive taxation, inequality measures (Gini and Palma) are increasing. And the amount of luxury cars too. :)

What's a shoebox(my 2 bed flat in central London is 53 sq/m I've seen plenty of sutios in NYC that size (~500-550 sq/f))? There have been plenty of studies that show that small apartments lead to actual physical and mental health issues.
While I can accept your anecdotal case that you are very happy with your "shoebox" size apartment it doesn't mean it's good, beneficial or something that should be acceptable.

Smaller housing means smaller kitchens which makes home cooking less pleasant and likely, not to mention that small apartments might have a kitchen which isn't fitted with more than a microwave a small fridge and a hotplate or a tiny stove.
This leads to people using takeaway or eating at restaurants which isn't good for you, even if you go to the fanciest place you can think off the chances off that the food there is just as caloric and "healthy" as your run of the mill fast food.
A 2-3 course meal at a good restaurant tends to have 1.5-2 times the calories that a super-sized McDonlands meal has, you can easily eat up 2000-3000 kcal in a restaurant with that nice appetizer, big juicy steak, and desert.
Home cooking on the other hand results in many cases in much smaller caloric intake, and the act of cooking it self has quite a few positive mental and physical effects on it's own.

Smaller housing means less family/entertainment space which means you usually can't invite many people in, which means you do your socializing outside usually again in restaurants/bars which is while plenty of fun and pretty acceptable also has a negative impact.

Smaller housing means you are more likely to deffer having children or decide to upgrade your relationship status, smaller housing also makes many people feel like they do not get enough privacy at home even if they are very intimate with their partners which adds to stress.

Smaller housing means usually means poorer air-quality, less light (smaller windows, less of them etc.) and general feeling of claustrophobia which can lead to depression even if you do not feel that it does.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg because there are many more factors why people need their space, that doesn't mean you need to live in a 7 room house, it just means that the rooms you have need to be of sufficient size, and the overall design of the apartment needs to be more open and brighter.

I honestly can't fathom why people actually argue that it's fine to live in a small apartment, I've seen places in London that have a folding bed and if the fridge is open you can't open your "front door".
This is 5th Element level of quarters and we are openly accepting it, yes that 20 sq/m flat in IKEA looks extremely cool if it was a hotel room, or a dormitory it would be more than acceptable but for people to live in such place for any length of time is not something we should approve off not to mention push towards.
I'll address the binary compatibility concern. I think at this point for the average scala developer, binary compatibility isn't really a big deal anymore. At this point the releases require very few (if any) changes to the codebases and all the library maintainers have stepped up their game with releases corresponding with new versions.

Sure, it'd be great to have binary compatibility, but I think the ability to make changes to the language unhindered by supporting byte code from previous languages is more valuable.

For example with the 2.11 release, I had three different non-trivial sized projects and for each I was able to simply change the scala version in my sbt file and everything worked just as it had before with no library or compile issues.

I will agree that it was a huge issue in the past with 2.7 - 2.9, but in my world it hasn't bitten me in a long time. Definitely not trying to say it isn't an issue or something that wouldn't be great to be fixed, but at this point I have a tough time seeing it being considered a barrier to entry in any way.

Also, I just throw in that for me compile time hasn't been an issue for me lately either. I work on reasonably sized projects, but definitely nothing on the twitter / foursquare scale.

Nice play, Mr. Odersky...
In this example, the marginal rate is indeed flat, but the result on the total income is absolutely progressive, and asymptotically approaches a limit (50%, in the case of my example).

It's absolutely worth comparing this to some progressive tax systems without BI (though that's a lot more work because those systems are a lot more complex), but I suspect BI will do reasonable well in that comparison.
