The whole point of these unintended consequences are easily corrected by allowing penalty free (for the basic income at least) defaults. Just like the student loan issue would be solved overnight by allowing defaults, basic incomes would never have a problem in the first place with them.
Here's my favourite answer to why women love diamonds: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-women-desire-diamonds/answer/In...
There is no shortage in supply that's an utter myth most countries and cities have tons of abandoned houses Europe has over 11M confirmed and that's just the tip of the iceberg
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/feb/23/europe-11m-em...

The biggest problem with housing is that it's just too easy to influence people to create an artificial scarcity when there is now, and in the few places there is no land laws will help as developers like to keep the supply short in order to increase it's value.

Even a small shortage (fake or real) can increase the value of properties by 100's of percent this means that building more isn't lucrative to neither developers nor investors, if you just bought a property as an investment you sure as hell do not want the developer going on and building 10 new ones as it will tank the price of your property. This means that even on the off chance that a developer might find formula that will allow them to build more the investors wont buy in and without that they can't build as no sane developer builds even a parking lot out of pocket these days.

On the other hand government housing isn't good either in most places government housing turns into ghettos faster than you can open a 7/11 and in the few countries it didn't like say Sweden it created the worse housing shortage anyone can imagine while creating a black market which corrupted the entire system.

If anything oddly enough China is taking the best approach just build entire cities, sure some of them rest as ghost cities for some years but unlike what the media reports in the west they tend to be filled almost instantly once the planets align.

ZocDoc addresses this problem really well.
I feel like there would be a number of arbitrage opportunities that would become available as well, though it's late and I can't think of any off of the top of my head. How it affects the currency exchange markets would be interesting as well. IMHO, a better option would be to provide Tax credits to employers for each employee's pay up to the poverty line. If employers don't pay poverty level wages, the government is stepping in with federal benefits. A tax credit is a more efficient transfer mechanism than the current system as well, but still encourages some sort of productivity.

My understanding of most implementations of Basic Income is that the funds would come from taxes or budget cuts in other parts of the government rather than printing money which would reduce inflationary pressure. The problem with raising prices is that collective coordination would be difficult for goods which operate in a competitive market.
If bread was 1 cent per loaf, bread would be near worthless. The people who cannot afford bread are not economically generating enough demand for bread to have more bread created. Markets do not care how much you intrinsically want something - that is not what market demand is - demand is simply a measure of how much money is willing to be spent on a good or service. The more money seeking bread, the more pressure there is on bread makers to make more, because each loaf is more valuable. If there is no money seeking bread - ie, the poor - then nobody has a reason to make bread, because there is no profit to be made.

Capitalism is literally defined by the perpetual shortage of scarce physical resources. Bread costs what it does because people want it - that means they do not already have it - and are willing to pay so much for it. And the highest bidders get their bread, with the price being set at approximately the lowest bidder who would still get a finite loaf of bread if they were dolled out in sequence of most demand to least, while anyone below that "bid" amount does not get bread.

If bread were market valued at $100 a loaf, it would mean either more people are willing to pay more for the same bread - say, someone wants to buy all the bread and offers way above market price to capture the bread supply - or the supply itself has diminished enough that the lowest bidders at $1 and $10 and $99 were too far back in line to get bread behind all those willing to pay $100 or more.

If something is worth value in market exchange, it means someone wants something they do not have, and are willing to pay an amount of money for it. Demand is dictated by the total amount of money seeking something, and supply is determined by how much of something can fill that demand. And demand can include those seeking loaves of bread for a cent - but it is very unlikely their demand will ever be met, because they offer so little in return.

None, and I'll freely admit that it's certainly possible that there may exist a hypothetical union where I may very well be better off as a member. I'll also concede that the abstract idea and theory of unions sounds perfectly reasonable to me. It's the broken, imperfect, real world implementations of those ideas that always rubs me the wrong way and that I find fault with.

Well by afford I mean can afford a 30-year mortgage on a $1.2m home. Assuming this imaginary person spends his decade or so in the $130-200k range (solid career advancement, probably overly optimistic) and shells between $10-$30k a year into savings, that would be maybe 15% down.

My opinion is based on having absolutely no experience in home buying while making the greatest attempt possible to be optimistic about my future in the Bay Area.

That would be pretty difficult to make a diamond from mud.

> Writing a macro that understands forks and hooks is an exercise for a beginner – if the operators covered are strictly monadic and/or dyadic as are those in J. However in Lisp all those optional auxiliary and keyword arguments immensely complicate matters. In order to make it operational within a month or so of effort a tacit macro could be implemented to work just on a subset of Lisp operators.

I was recently contacted by Nest due to a project I posted on Reddit. Evidently their head of engineering saw the project and told them to see if I'd be interested in working there. I said I would love to continue with the interview process... a week later they contacted me and said they were at capacity for developers and would not be proceeding. Really kind of crazy for a company of that size, in my opinion.

Seems like a bullet dodged at this point. A little concerned for my little app project though. They're taking weeks to approve my API access, to the point that I feel they're damaging my chances of succeeding.
This would go against the ruby style of using predicates for this sort of thing (think `include?`, `empty?`, `nil?`).

I personally wouldn't be in favor of it.

Addition: Arguing that "Ruby isn't English" and then stating conformity to mathematical notation as a benefit seems hypocritical. Programming languages (besides APL, maybe) do not use strict mathematical notation, and we shouldn't want them to.

Actually, I think you'll find a lot of people will opt for part time lower income jobs than before as they are just supplementing the guaranteed income which means that there is net total more than before.

Presumably, they coexist; if you have a lot of old Java code, upgrading to Java 9 will likely be much easier than translating to Kotlin, but you still have a healthy codebase.
The salaries for jobs that nobody is going to want to do are going to have to climb, or we're going to need to automate those jobs. But if that's unsustainable and we approach hyperinflation, we quickly get to a circumstance resembling no basic income - at which point, people will start to be (economically) forced into doing those jobs again.

This is assuming we don't raise the BI in response to inflation. We shouldn't do that. (Matching or slightly exceeding targeted inflation seems a good idea; raising in response to observed or expected inflation seems potentially disastrous).
Really not following this line of reasoning.
> … and much higher memory usage compared to Go.

Please don't jump to the conclusion that huge differences in the default memory allocation of tiny 100 line programs means there will be similar huge differences between ordinary large programs.

Notice that even for those tiny 100 line programs, the difference can be more like 2x when memory actually needs to allocated for the task.

Not the same thing. The tax credit I'm talking about goes to the employer. Right now, we just tax the employer (or the wealthy owners of the business) and redistribute. Let's cut out the middleman that's the government, and not tax employers who pay their employees up to the poverty level.

Yes, indeed it's not inflation I fear, but the collective mentality people have. Markets in poor communities are not as competitive as we'd think. Not to mention big retailers who are not that many to make coordination impossible.
The UK does something like this. It's a disaster, because it gives employers an excuse to cut wages knowing that the government will cover the rest - effectively a handout to employers, who don't usually need the money, not to employees, who do.

It's also a disaster because the UK gov is famous for changing payment rules, sometimes retrospectively. The most recent changes leave some of the poorest people owing between a quarter and twice a year's income in supposed overpayments - which they accepted in good faith, with no suspicion that the government would change its mind about them later.

Any tax credit scheme is going to be open to similar abuse - whether accidental, because of incompetence, or deliberate because of political malice.
thats the thing about immigration. everyone wants the door shut behind them, even recent immigrants.
No, because almost nobody would be lending money to people who have nothing to secure the loan beside their basic income.

Aside from the pithy syntax compared to even the most futuristic ECMAScript, meaning frontend code is faster and easier to write (and throw away, if need be), there's another key element Clojure brings to solving this API proliferation problem, which is just how easy it is to do data transformations. The Clojure standard lib makes it trivial (dare I say, fun?) to carve up and reshape whatever data you're consuming to fit the model your application needs.

Yup. I don't recall actually learning anything in math class from 7th grade through my senior year.

I learned trig and geometry from my shop and programming courses... Trying to do graphics in QBasic and determine lengths and angles in carpentry gives concrete examples. It's not as though most math sprang spontaneously from pure thought-stuff - at some point, architects, inventors, astronomers and others in concrete endeavors discovered these rules.
I'm with maxerickson.

I've also asked questions on the phone regarding purchasing videos from their digital store- specifically, what quality playback would be supported on my Chromebook model. It didn't take long from question asked -> question answered in either case.

This is not true, please visit the SAM room on Gitter
https://gitter.im/jdubray/sam

In a nutshell:

in redux the reducer updates the model as:
state.counter += 1 ;

All SAM suggests is that this is an unfortunate coupling, you should write it as:
// action
function increment(value) {
return value + 1 ;
}

and then present the output of the action to the model:

state.counter = data.counter ;

Redux does not have any next-action-predicate either.

It does characters pretty well too. For most popular series that I tried, with the weird exception of Gintama, searching any of the main characters would pull up the rest of the main cast as highly related.

It seems to have learned the relationship between characters and shows, though it always ranks the Monogatari characters as relatively close to any character search.
Totally agree, would love to see this get added to GitLab https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4272
In general, I agree, but there is a cost to such regulation in the sense that it would make banks more wary to lend to legitimate borrowers on the promise of future basic income payments. Making it illegal to seize basic income assets in the event of default creates a classic adverse selection problem where bad actors will have incentives to attempt to take a loan.

That being said, the point of a basic income in the first place is to introduce financial stability to all households so any costs associated with preventing lending on basic income collateral may be societally optimal.

If salaries are not going up, that is a real measure of demand being met. If the demand for engineers of X skill were not being met, the price for those engineers would continuously rise until either they became unprofitable to have or demand was met.

The reality is that tech companies just want to pay people less. Of course they do - every company wants to pay less for the same product. We have equilibrium today where tech workers equalize at a certain balance of supply and demand - if demand rose, supply would increase from more promising STEM job prospects driving more people into STEM - but demand is not rising, since wage offerings are not rising.

It is important that we as a society realize that while most jobs are going away - and through that process, the supply of labor is going through the roof as more and more people fight to survive on the scraps of demand for whatever skill they have are put out into the market - engineering in all its forms remains uniquely capable of maintaining equilibrium above the poverty line.

It is always a battle between the provider and the consumer. As predominantly consumers we are not used to fighting as the provider of a valuable asset. But as the provider we must fight to keep prices high to maximize our own profits - in the same way corporate interests will fight to maintain their own profit margins. They are not your friends, they want to use you as much as you use them as a means to an end - you wanted chocolate bars and coffee, and they provided at prices set by the market. They want engineering talent, and you offer yourself at a price you deem fair, and if you are hired - that was a price set by the market.

Don't let anyone deceive you into manipulating the market for their purposes. They want to drive up supply to reduce their own costs - if they had real demand for talent, it would be met.
Those interested, who have read RPG's original article, might want to learn more about his example of "the right thing", PC-lusering, by reading PCLSRing: Keeping Process State Modular by Alan Bawden (http://fare.tunes.org/tmp/emergent/pclsr.htm), and then perhaps learn more about ITS, which can still be run on a PDP-10 simulator: http://its.victor.se/wiki/
Those who don't want to go too far down that particular rabbit hole could do worse than read the first third of Steven Levy's Hackers, which is about the MIT AI Lab.

The reason ITS is rarely used now is more mundane than you might infer from RPG's articles: it was machine specific, being mostly written in MIDAS assembly language, and needs a PDP-10 to run it on, and DEC stopped making them. Unix is written mostly in C and is portable.

I predict the opposite is going to happen. Most proponents of BI also propose lowering the minimum wage. So let's suppose you're on BI receiving $12K a year. That's about enough to put a roof over your head, leaving very little for food or anything else. You see a clerk job advertised for $5 an hour. You don't have to take the job, but that $5/hr is the difference between eating rice and beans yet again or actually having a little bit of meat with your meal and being able to afford an occasional XBox game.

The big difference I see is that truly unpleasant and unsafe jobs will see wages rise. Being a clerk is not a great job, but it's not a bad job unless you have an awful boss. If your boss at the grocery store starts giving you trouble, it becomes much easier to just walk away and eat rice and beans for a while until you can find another job.
In defence of technicians…
To expand on his migration point, I worry that BI will create inland ghettos where the BI allowance is enough on it's own to cover the cost of living. At least some people would choose this lifestyle. Over time these ghettos would evolve their own cultures and start to be very separate from the rest of us. While I value personal freedom of an adult to chose to do this with their life, I worry about their children who will have a hard time leaving and I worry about internal fragmentation of our nation.

I think overall the net positive effect of BI probably counteracts the concerns above - but it will be interesting to see if such a phenomenon develops in Finland.

What citizenry anywhere would not prioritize their fellow citizens to a decent job, wage and life?

To answer your question, yea, yea they do.

Integers can also be combined with other operations, like multiplication, min or max. None of those sound like "adding" or "merging" them to me.
