There's no way to test for who "deserves" basic income. As the means of generating and funneling wealth gets increasingly wrenched out of everyone's hands, it becomes a responsibility of a governing body to ensure everyone is okay.

Would terrorists be able to recruit a bunch of people who have all their needs taken care of and are able to pursue the work they want, even if the wages from it aren't high?

Would someone go out late at night to rob people, and risk getting shot themselves, when they have their rent, food, and needs met?

This needs to be universal. If you set up criteria that will only push the bottom further down. It'll create the opportunity for racist policy to make sure only the "good people" get aid.
That's a shame for Slashdot - I like that site!
Thanks for looking up the actual law. Does the inclusion of "by a parent" mean that the companies would all need to have separate ownership, so you'd have to go recruit a bunch of friends into the scheme?

React/Redux is definitely more work. Having to go from just mutating state locally to dispatching actions and composing reducers also involves a big shift in thinking.

On the plus side:
- It makes applications significantly more declarative, which is a readability win for me
- It simplifies applications with rich history awareness.
- It is fairly easy to reason about (particularly as compared with Angular) and debug. I find it conceptually more straightforward than backbone as well.
Roundup: Leading a Remote Team
Your and my descriptions feel so qualitatively different that I've got to wonder if fundamentally different things are going on between the two.

A previous HN thread had a lot of people comparing ADHD to the effect of chronic sleep debt, with the suggestion that ADHD could be an effect of the inability to enter deep sleep. "Like never having slept enough" isn't an analogy I would make for my symptoms, but it would seem to fit yours much more closely.

As a probing guess, are your symptoms helped more by NRI-class drugs? From what I know about norepinephrine, it governs whether moment-to-moment attention will tend to fixate or drift. The symptoms of both that, and the disorder of motivation, seem to get conflated as "ADHD" for some reason.
I guess I am asking whether it's valid to criticize the AI for not answering questions that it wasn't asked.

For instance, it wasn't asked to evaluate the pawn structure and provide that analysis as an output, but it certainly could be programmed to do so.

Is there any official announcement of the sale?
After a lengthy investigation, lobbyists have determined that neither Glenn Marine nor its CEO "Fat" Leonard Francis have ever given any money to a PAC, super-PAC, campaign, or think tank. Nor have they put up any retired generals at the Four Seasons for the week while said generals made the rounds of the political bloviation shows. This is simply not how it is done in USA military procurement. "Cultural differences" is no excuse. The aesthetics of bribery are at least as important as the amounts. To bribe a C.O. directly is to ignore the chain of command, and that shit ain't cool.

Since we already have these last two, then taxing the wealthy seems like a good way to go, except that you need to expand the concept of wealthy to actually make enough money; all the while the "wealthy" will find ways to protect their wealth.

It might be easier to simply print more money and give it to government agencies, but then other nations will probably value your currency less due to inflationary bloat.

Developers of desktop/console apps, what do you think about React?
I found 3 categories of devs:

1. Experienced web develoeprs who spent most of their carriers doing server side rendering with JS code here and there.
2. Youngsters who follow the hype.
3. Experienced devs with years of building Office like apps (traditional console apps).

I can understand why #1, #2 are so crazy about React, but what about #3? After years of WPF, MVVM, WinForms, Qt, and etc - what do you think/feel about React?

If someone has the Facebook app then they're not going to be heading there via Google.

On the other hand a lot of other searches contribute to the search volume and should track the popularity of Facebook, problems with the app, developers looking for API documentation, discussions of policy changes, people looking for jobs, news about the company and so on. So even if people are using the app the search volume should say something about the popularity. One thing I can imagine though is that a shift from the web to the app might decrease the search volume by such a large amount that it totally obscures the trend of the other kinds of searches I mentioned above.
Like it or not, people prefer wealth with a risk of cancer to rural poverty. If they didn't, they would remain in their remote rural villages instead of flocking into the highly polluted factory areas.

Delhi is another example of this (it's 3x worse than Beijing right now). I hate the place; this month it was so polluted that I couldn't see across my office complex. But if you use violence to force the Biharis to stay home (i.e., give up free trade) you'll have a riot on your hands.

Yeah, free trade is in fact better than dire poverty, which is the alternative.

Yes, it appears to be hereditary, however no single gene has been implicated. There is also no subjective test, but if you see a psychiatrist they can usually diagnose you be asking questions about your symptoms.

Information Architecture: A Whole-Team Discipline
My point was until you give it to everyone your not testing basic incomes premise.
Based on my surface-level understanding of Nim, Go is much more comparable to Nim than it is Rust. I never understood the Rust-Go comparisons, since Rust is a serious systems programming language. I would never use Go or Nim to replace C or C++ usage as I would Rust, but I might use Nim in place of Go or Java.

Does anyone with significant Nim experience care to lend some opinions? I don't want to start a flame war--I'm genuinely curious.

The latter, it's about getting quick wins, getting up and running as fast as possible, and having enough of a framework and enough fun by the end to be motivated and capable of exploring any of the advanced topics for research or production rendering that might tickle your fancy.
I'm probably in the same boat. I see myself as a firefighter, things don't get my attention until their burning down, then I perform miracles to save them. Every few months my utility bills don't get paid until they turn it off.

Personal relationships degrade until the point they are about to fall apart, then a blast of attention brings them back to normal. I'm a disorganized mess but when the right moment hits, I can do in a day what would take someone else a month to do.

Unfortunately I have nearly zero trust in the psychiatric community, and little trust in the medical community. There's too much overmedication/overdiagnosis in a attempt to CYA, limit liability, and in some cases, profit. I'm always suspicious of anyone who could be motivated to prescribe medication or treatment by a factor other than solely my well being(I reworded that sentence several times trying to decrease ambiguity...hopefully it makes sense). Full courses of antibiotics are prescribed for a runny nose, hearing tests ordered for mild congestion. I've seen kids diagnosed with ADHD and medicated into submission when all they needed was good parenting and a structured environment. A family member adopted 3 children from 3 different families. Wouldn't you know all 3 of them 'had' ADHD. If they started making noise or acting like kids, she would say 'oh, it must be time for their medication'. I've mentioned this to a couple of MD acquaintances. One of their responses were "She's convinced something is wrong. If I don't prescribe something, she will just go down the list of doctors until she finds one that will. Then I'll be the bad doctor for not doing something. The buck might as well stop here."

In any case of my condition being real, I have a fear of dependency. I'm scared that if I finally do submit and take medication, I will become dependent on it. I know my propensity to addiction and have vigorously avoided all drugs, including alcohol, except OTC painkillers and occasionally some cold symptom medication my entire life. I'm not concerned with becoming addicted to adderall/ritalin/etc... -- I'm concerned that it will eliminate what little control I've managed to exert over the issue and I don't want to take it for the rest of my life.

Your story about being able to wean yourself from it with little negatives while still maintaining the benefits may have given me the confidence to take the next step and try to get help.
Doesn't it favour the big guys, though? If I'm a mom-and-pop store and a big guy infringes on my product (for the sake or argument, let's say I have a genuinely good™ patent), were I to sue I'd face the prospect of having to pay however much money it costs them to buy the verdict. I simply would not sue in that case, even if I'd be justified in doing so.

> Rust is a serious systems programming language

I assume the distinction you are making about "serious" is around manual memory management and the GC?

In which case, I think you are probably right in your bias. That said and while i have no experience with it, Nim claims to have a real-time GC mechanism builtin. That is they support a max pause time parameter. There have been other real-time GC systems out there before and they tend to work well for other definitions of "serious".
The disordered thinking of schizophrenia invariably reflects the cultural biases of the individual. Pruning, if that is a cause, must affect the filter that allows most of us to reject the thousand crazy ideas that pop into our heads each day, while permitting the few reasonable ones.

This may be why there is an environmental component. If a potential schizophrenic with an overly-pruned filter is exposed to the idea that a magical god came to earth and sacrificed himself to give us eternal life, and if that idea is presented culturally as real, it may be impossible for the schizophrenic to filter that and place it in the DMZ of fantastical-but-culturally-prevalent notions that the rest of us use.

Imagine how disordered one's thinking might become if we had no ability to interpret the spew with "a grain of salt".

Ask HN: How to automate Python apps deployment?
Hello,

I am researching how to automate the development environment setup for a team of 15+ developers that is currently manual and requires a lot of repetitive work. In addition to that I am researching how to automate testing, integration and deployment of these web apps to different environments (staging, and production).

How would you implement this huge workflow and how would you tackle it? Any success stories of automating the deployment of similar apps (Python, JS, SASS, Config files, git cloning of projects) in other companies/projects?

The current workflow is that each developer clones all the apps (30+) and sets them up locally via editing config files, then sets up Apache for some internal URLs, and then starts working on them. Finishes work, commits to remote development branch and from their everything is just manual work: review of pull-requests and merging branches...etc. Production releases are manual as well.

I am also interested in knowing how to setup/refactor/change Apps in such away that would enable further automation to be as easy as possible.

Cheers!

The parent comment claims simple modles wont work based on simple models.

The "moving 0 on a scale" argument is brought into play with minimum wage (for example 2:[1]) but it most likely wont happen.

There are other points completely ignored by the parent post like welfare already in place (shouldnt this cause the same effect?), dimishing effects, etc etc.

The parent comment cites nothing and mixes basic income with "thats basically communism and communism has obviously failed".

I think there are reasons to downvote the parent comment, even though my comment does not provide much better quality.

8 Questions You Need to Ask About Microservices, Containers, and Docker
My point was that the actual game is what you need to compare - the choice of heroes is superficial compared to the complexity of the game itself, in either case. "Calculating the optimal draft is way more difficult than Go." is simply massively wrong.

The game field in a computer game will be quantized - even if it uses floating-point arithmetic that's still quantization. Conversely a go board can be scaled up or down without losing the feel of the game. If the grids were the same resolution then a given point in time you have many more choices in go because you can play literally anywhere.
though, in magritte's case, the visual-linguistic paradox is central; to claim that a picture of a pipe is not a pipe requires the pipe to exist as a physical, real object. in this case, a citation is a linguistic creation, which can be faked but cannot exist as the real.

Wercker Announcing Their Series A Funding
Absolutely. In the book "Ahead of the Curve" the author describes his MBA classmates at HBS emptying their bank accounts by buying BMWs so that they qualify for more student aid. I've also seen medical doctors in private practice leave for a public health or VA job when their children are nearing college so that they can qualify for more aid, then return to private practice after the children finish college. When the system is set up to charge a high sticker price and then discount based on an "ability to pay" formula, people will do everything in their power to adjust their finances to appear unable to pay.

Point taken, but competion is not a value by itself, tax money is.
"Appeal to authority" is more than "mentioning the existence of authorities". This is not an appeal to authority.

The point is, if the answer was as simple as that, it wouldn't be a problem. This is not news. This is a century+ old conundrum, and you can't solve it by simply reciting Physics 101 as if that's it, book closed. It's the equivalent of listening to a operating systems researcher describe a thorny problem in the creation of a multitasking operating system on a hundred-core NUMA system, and then pedantically, slowly, patronizingly explaining back to them how functions work by pushing things on to a stack and then popping them afterwards.

When they favor you afterwards with a deeply shocked expression, it's not in amazement at your penetrating insights.
