"I can't hardly imagine that most people posting here would ever consider a job where literally every word or sound that came out of their mouth during their entire working life was recorded, and likely subject to public disclosure."

It's becoming more common - professional atheletes and politicans fit into this category, even many day care workers who are paid even less than cops. I'm sure others can think of additional professions.
>But limiting who you give it to seems to go against the whole concept of basic income. At which point you might as well call is a scholarship. And those have been around for years.

The differences are:

a) Scholarships are given to an extremely small percentage of the population. They are not just excluding "drug dealers" or "terrorists" (which anyway are insignificant in number compared to the general population too, especially the latter, we're talking less than .000001%), they exclude almost everybody, in the sense than less than 1% of the population ever gets a scholarship.

b) Scholarships are meant for specific time limited periods. Basic Income would be for life.

c) Scholarships are given for specific purposes (e.g. to study, to create an art work, etc). Basic Income is just given for no specific task.

So, yeah, while both share the fact that "who gets it" will be limited (e.g. no Basic Income to prisoners or millionaire), other than that, they are completely different things. Salary is also given with certain limitations/provisions, but nobody confuses it with scholarship or basic income either.
The difference is that individual investors will often hold on to their shares for months or years, rendering the trading tax insignificant.

The tax is targeting (very) short-term professional traders, selling and buying back shares multiple times a day (or per second, in some cases). This type of trading adds little value to the useful allocation of capital, and imposes a 'tax' on other traders.

To me, that sounds like as good a thing to tax as any. Besides, I'd guess that implementation of such a tax would be relatively straightforward, as far as taxes go.

So my comment gets downvoted for pointing out racism in a y-combinator thread. The original post from the person to whom I've replied seems to have been rewritten and now my own previous answer is out of context. Great.

Maybe some people around here assume racism as characteristic of a single group, not as a human characteristic that we all share alike. Perhaps helps to quote what "racist" is described on a dictionary:
"a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race"

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

For the record, the original poster mentioned that people of a given race were not paying bills, and that another given race was enforcing punitive legislation, for that reason riots spun at some point. I just disagreed with such point of view.

Reducing a complex problem such as Ferguson (and others) to colors is not correct. But heck, just downvote the one that tries to point that out. Even the original poster corrected his comment, so I'm happy to see some reflection happening.

I've tried hard to like Braid despite it being a platform game (Flashback (1992) is the only game in that genre that I've enjoyed so far).
It's gorgeous, clever and polished, yet it felt pretentious to the point where it would distract from the beauty of the game.
And I didn't know anything about the creator of the game before trying, so that couldn't have been personal bias (not implying that would have been the case otherwise).

I have trouble believing this assertion from the NYT:

"[HFT] generate windfall profits on small and fleeting differences in prices at the expense of ordinary investors and market stability"

Considering this fact:

"TABB Group estimates that US equity HFT revenues have declined from approximately $7.2 billion in 2009 to about $1.3 billion in 2014."

Source: https://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43608.pdf

So the profit of the entire industry is a rounding error, but they're somehow fleecing everyone? And they provide tiny spreads, which clearly benefits individual investors.

The NYT article says a FTT is necessary to protect from HFT, but they don't really have evidence of that. The study they link makes the case that a FTT would raise lots of revenue without distorting trading too badly, but admits that the effect on market volatility is unclear. But raising taxes so that the government makes more money is not going to be as good a slogan as raising them to punish some hyped-up evil doer.

>You didn't deal with question in your title, except maybe extremely indirectly. Drug dealers are in it for the money, so they're not going to be applying for a basic income.

Well, some will do. E.g. a small time dealer, which now might be on the dole, will more likely than not apply for basic income. We're not talking only Escobar level dealers here.

That said, as with terrorists, drug dealers, while more, all still a very small group in the total population.

And they will only be given basic income on the provision that they haven't been caught as drug dealers anyway, so it's not different than anybody else getting their basic income. As far as the law concerned, they're still innocent of any crime.
Turns out, deciding how to compare two strings when they may be differing lengths is tricky.
Recordings aren't on all the time. Think about the rest of the picture. These guys do highly questionable (shooting people under dubious circumstances) and get paid leave. They sure as heck don't have their entire patrol recorded. If the union can negotiate the former the latter is a cakewalk.

They're typically set up so when lights or sirens come on then the audio/video recording gets turned on and stays on for an amount of time after lights/sirens turn off which is usually a minute or more. This is to discourage behavior like using lights/sirens to run red lights or bypass traffic jams. Years ago cops used to warn people who were going too fast but not fast enough to be worth a ticket by flashing their lights. They don't do this anymore because the chief doesn't like to see them giving out warnings based om something like "If you can stop the guy then stop him, who knows, you might get lucky and he's got a bong in the passenger seat, you don't catch any fish without a line in the water"

This is just an argument against bad package managers. Good ones will offer binary packages by default, but allow you to tweak (or just pass ./configure options to) an installation formula, at which point they'll switch over to pulling in the source package, applying your changes to it, building it, and installing the result, while still offering you full package-level management of the result (including having the package satisfy deps correctly.)
And just to be clear: it goes on all the time in police departments, and most involved in this one will also get just a slap on the wrist.
Chicago might be notorious for high murder rates, crime, and corrupt government, but I would be shocked if this weren't happening in other areas across the country.
This would be much easier to implement at the state level. Aside from a few specific instances with the DOJ such as the consent decree mentioned elsewhere, the federal government does not have any authority over local police departments such that it can do much of anything.

We're talking about dash cams here, not body cams. They had TV shows in the 90s based on police chase videos from dash cams. World's Wildest Police Videos first aired in 97, though I suspect there were shows prior to that, the names I cannot recall. So police dash cams have been in the popular culture for almost 20 years. I think cops in Chicago (or any city) knew what they were signing up for at this point.
If the necessity payments are biweekly or whatever, and actually scaled to necessities, and spending of them is actually limited to necessities, it shouldn't be possible to save many of them up, and not very beneficial either. So there isn't a huge benefit to making them survive bankruptcy (the court could even award an extra necessity payment right after adjudicating the bankruptcy).

So I think that is a good argument against them being, uh, necessary, and then there is the whole thing where if it is a real currency, it will be fungible, so people will still be able to use them stupidly on things that aren't necessities.

I'm the author of this blog post. And I don't think the invitation was the main issue here. I did have a ticket, and I wasn't visiting any friends there who could invite me. Also I haven't been asked about the invitation letter during the main interview, I haven't even been asked why I don't have it or anything like that...

I think the main issue was my not permanent employment, here, in the UK. I just don't like the way the officer was interviewing me.

What's the difference? Do you mean you don't want your compiler to ever reorder instructions? That would cost a lot of performance. Try to formalize the guarantee that you want the compiler to give in the presence of programs like that, and the reasons for leaving it undefined become a lot more clear.

Well, if by "entire working life" you mean "every time they go in patrol or are on a call" then yes. Nobody is interested in their water cooler talks.

>Saying that this is what cops signed up for is not a compelling counter argument either, as this is new and most of the cops in question didn't sign up to work in an environment like that at all.

IANAL and off-topic, but if it was a series title, your friend might have a case but, at least in North America, the titles of single works are generally not protectable under trademark law.

The mosquitoes are genetically altered to need a particular chemical in order for their offspring to be non-sterile. (Tetracycline IIRC) Without tetracycline in their food, any offspring the have will be sterile. (I’m afraid I don’t know the details of how this works genetically, but there are probably papers in the literature.)

So the company can happily breed their mosquitoes to keep a stock, feeding them on feedstock that contains tetracycline & then can take a portion of the breeding stock & eliminate tetracycline from their diet - their sterile male offspring can then be released into the wild to mate with fertile wild female mosquitoes.

I’ve heard that one of their client labs had trouble generating sterile males using Oxitec’s protocol: they eventually discovered that the feedstock they were using came from factory farmed chickens which had large amounts of tetracycline in their diet (as an antibiotic it’s used to boost growth rates in factory farmed animals).

(A neighbour works for them, so if anyone has any really pressing questions I can probably ask :) )

Pediatric doc here. True, many are not bacterial but fungal ear infections are quite rare. The majority of otitis media is viral, which is not surprising given the concurrent URI that most kids (and adults) have when they get a painful ear. This is also the reason I try to have parents wait out ear infections in their kids ... I'd rather not use antibiotics, especially when they have a viral infection that wouldn't respond anyway. I'm not sure what tools you're referring to in the ENT office. If the ear infection is external (i.e. Swimmer's Ear) any GP office should be able to culture and treat it. If it's a middle ear infection (and that's usually what we're talking about), an ENT still has to deal with the fact that the tympanic membrane blocks access to the middle ear. Only in very extreme cases would an ENT consider violating the TM to sample the middle ear.

But it is. Because as soon as a number is arrived at, there will be people who say it's discriminatory. They will rail against it because people on UBI will be "barely at the poverty line". There's no one-size fits all dollar amount we could ever possibly come up with.

Chicago Police Have Been Sabotaging Their Dash Cams
Most big city cops are not ex-military. In smaller and rural departments it's more common, but the demographic for Chicago area cops is almost certainly working class families from the greater Chicago area, and most probably already started thinking about starting the process soon after graduating high school.
It's knowing how to manage a person or situation once you open up a 'dark' area; I'd prefer the terminology that an area is 'dark' is rather referred to as something you're simply conditioned to (or suppressed/repressed) - it's underneath your conscious level, as otherwise it would leave you less able to function in day-to-day life.
The dash cams are for their benefit. There was a county in another state that implemented dash cams for their police force and found an 80% drop in complaints against officers.

Why do officers feel like they are being watched? The dash cams are to protect them. If they fear being watched, perhaps they know they aren't doing their job?
