The idea of ads indistinguishable from content is troubling. I agree this is a probable outcome. It sounds like food for conspiracy theories. I see two paths. First, ads so good you seek them out knowing they are advertising. This would be similar to a good catalog. Second, you are looking for content and find something produced by a company without your knowledge. It would be easy to produce "Top 10" lists or other style of content that favors your products. In that scenario, trust becomes the valuable commodity.

There's an interesting short story I am unable to find online at the moment, which describes a near-future in which people have figured out how to have similarly invasive effects on the viewers with print ads - leading to infectious graffiti, for example.
I didn't feel depressed with highs/low, it was more like a foggy mind, wanting to sleep. Not like when you only get 2 hours sleep. Different feeling to that. Imagine getting 2 hours sleep without the adrenaline kicking in to compensate.

I was found to have low testosterone, adrenal fatigue and the Lymes disease bacteria showed up although the accuracy of testing for that is not perfect. Treatment based on rectifying those things - testosterone supplements, other supplements for adrenal, strong antibiotics for 6 months.

Hope you are able to sort your symptoms out. For hard to diagnose things you have to treat doctors like staff, i.e. know about the problem enough yourself so you can judge if the doctor is doing is a good job. It's a hassle and last thing you need when you are sick! Luckily I wasn't too sick but feel sorry for people who get fatigue really bad where they can't leave the house for days.
Would children and retirees also claim basic income?
>But what about existing entitlement sending, which keeps growing?

Universal Basic Income removes existing welfare, and everyone gets the same amount.

>the poorest are not starving to death; in fact, they're more likely to be obese than higher earners.

Because the poorest do not have access to high quality food, fruits, vegetables and eat preprocessed food that is an absolute catastrophe for your health.

>The assumption that a UBI, on top of existing welfare programs, will make people more compelled to work seems like a stretch.

Once again, UBI removes existing welfare programs.
As to why people would be compelled to work, you can pick from:

* Actually liking their jobs.
* UBI doesn't allow you to live like a king, the amount you get is pretty low.
* Why should they work anyways ? Filling more pointless jobs, which are getting increasingly replaced by machines ?
Yes, from the very limited research I've done, the key question in the UBI discussion is this: what the heck is it? It's a great slogan, but you have to add at least a dozen or two bullet points or it can mean so many things that it effectively means nothing.
Given the frankly despair-inducing statistics of what happens to poor people when they acquire a sudden cash windfall (and if you're flat broke and living on the streets, a few hundred every couple weeks is HUGE), I intend to agree.

Most UBI implementations I've seen require gutting existing welfare systems - okay, fine, but what happens to the person who inevitably squanders their money?
This was so light on technical information that I am more puzzled than before I read the article. Haven't the browsers standardized on a few DRM schemes already?

Why would you compare that to what Netflix was doing with physical DVDs?

> what is to stop people from wasting their basic income on frivolities while also drawing from existing welfare programs

> a UBI, on top of existing welfare programs

Most proposals see UBI as replacing the existing welfare programs. No more means-testing, etc (and a cost-saving in reduced administration). How practical that is has yet to be seen.
For context, the fork linked above references being able to install it using 'npm install pirateflix -g', which does not function due to pirateflix apparently not being registered.
Chrome also has this button, though I don't know when they added it (right-click the tab, "Mute Tab").
See my other comment somewhere on this page. From my POV, Synology is in a really good place to pull this off. You can have one of their little boxes serve audio, video, keep your notes ala OneNote, all accessible remotely if need be. With just a liiiiiitle more, it could be your IoT hub.

Others outside Synology write stuff for those boxes, evidence that it's not locked down, so I suppose with enough hacking one could get a DropCam to work on a Synology box. But it would be a hell of a lot easier if Synology had a list of plug-and-play devices that they either build themselves or partner with another manufacturer. The latter is unlikely to happen, given the rent-seeking behavior we see out of manufacturers.
imo the benefit of UBI is that you remove that whole disfunctional layer of figuring out who should and should not receive support.
I think I agree with you more than I agree with me. :)
That tax revenue isn't just from (personal or corporate) income tax. There are a number of other sources of federal tax revenue which could be increased without a (direct) impact on the same people intended to benefit from a UBI (though it will have an indirect impact).
On the topic of immigrants and minimum wage/basic income. Brussels provided free housing, food, health care, and education to immigrants. And yet their immigrant community was still unable and/or unwilling to integrate.

Basic income and/or higher minimum wage doesn't solve all problems. It even causes some new ones. Which isn't to say it isn't a good idea. But we probably don't discuss the problems as much as we should. I don't think it's the silver bullet many people wish it to be.
Having previously gone through the 68k-PowerPC switch, the PowerPC-x86 switch seemed to me like a non-event. The desktop platform most certainly does not have a perpetual backward compatibility obligation; Apple has always been far more willing than Microsoft to break old stuff after a few years if it happens to conflict with their new stuff.

I would expect that they have already been building OS X for ARM internally for several years, and that they'd prefer to avoid switching again but would certainly do it if they ever felt like the use of Intel's architecture was creating a problem for their business.

These shenanigans by Google and the numerous reports of the problems with Nest and their smoke detectors have basically guaranteed I don't include Google devices in my home automation setup.

There's a lot of room for a vendor to come in with open products, a pledge to maintain that open-ness, and decent integration to really take over the home automation market. I really feel like all the existing products are too proprietary to be of any interest to us home automation geeks.
Some argue that if an UBI is introduced then a flat rate tax should be applied to all other income; in the US this would lead to reasonably large income tax increase.

Ideally in a functioning democracy you can replace the government for one which represents the people, but in the US the 'establishment' controls them anyway.

> No one wants to hire them at a high minimum wage, especially when locals are readily available

The main drawback to a minimum wage is that it artificially increases the cost of labor, to the point where it's no longer worth it to an employer to hire a low-output employee. I think we'd all agree that increasing employment is a good goal, but an increased minimum wage actually hinders progress on that front. As the minimum wage increases, robots and other non-human investments start to look much, much more attractive. Many businesses would be happy to hire workers for less than minimum wage, but legally cannot, and so do not hire.

Of course, it's a complicated issue. Look at the employment of those with disabilities like Down Syndrome [0], for example. Are these employees worth hiring at $7.50/hour? No, for the most part, they're not. Are some? Sure, but on average there's no way. But are they worth hiring at $2.00/hour? Yes, and they and their families are willing for them to work at that wage, because there are huge benefits to being productively employed.

Recently these programs are coming "under attack" in various states. New Hampshire just made this practice illegal, for example [1]. We'll see how it plays out -- my bet is that a) few news outlets will follow up in a few years and see how many of these disabled workers are able to find new employment, and b) few disabled workers will be able to do so.

The advocates for such policy do keep this in mind. They require tax increases on business. If you make money, you have to pay. The idea is to help reallocate wealth because the market has moved beyond certain segments of labor.

For example, when McDonald's can automate half its staff, the other half can't provide labor at the minimum price to be worth while. UBI says give these people, those displaced from the labor force since they are no longer needed, tax money directly rather than going through government mediators in a piecemeal fashion like they do today. Of course McDonald's will have a higher tax burden to support these displaced workers.

Rather than McDonald's shouldering the burden by itself, the government acts as an insurance company. It takes in taxes and payout what is essentially an existence claim.

Yes, that's absolutely an issue. And, it would even be OK, for me, to have that be the default, as long as they provide some other means of dealing with the device. WiFi isn't hard, at all. So give me a local web UI, and a way to store things locally or remotely using some standard protocol. That's dead simple to implement, and routers and printers have been doing it for a couple decades. Simply making the device usable without the cloud service would have been enough for me to not be so angry with Dropcam, and enough for me to feel like this is not a failure of ethics in the tech sector.

I've owned a number of devices in this category; the first was a Panasonic Petcam, which worked great for me, for many years. It had the ability to email me videos and photos, save to arbitrary FTP storage, etc. This was over a decade ago! If they could manage all that back then, why is it so difficult now, with networking tools being so much more advanced today?
The top marginal tax rate would have to be dramatically increased to pay for it. Also, you'd have to increase capital gains and estate taxes.

Make no mistake, basic minimum income would be a massive redistribution of wealth. I'm in favor of it, but let's not pretend we can pay for it by shuffling around some social safety net spending.
There's a difference?

Right, which currently excludes any taxes that would've come from the population that do not have any income to spend, and is instead costing taxpayers More through constant healthcare and the insanely pricey food stamps, etc.

Just something to keep in mind.

Was.

See: my argument re: small scale localized electricity production for EV charging thanks to our glorious NG infrastructure.
It's easy to knock on the poor for making bad choices with their resources. But what the well-off percieve as "frivolous" or "irresponsible" may very well be the most cost-effective way to maintain sanity when undergoing stress that is not unlike what founders experience when struggling to keep a company afloat.
Yes, taxes on the average worker would go up by the same amount as they're receiving in basic income. So the effective costs of a basic income program are a very small fraction of $3.2 trillion.
I don't think your points are necessarily wrong, but I have a couple comments. These are from the standpoint of the USA, I don't know much about other countries.

1. Basic income + universal healthcare theoretically would be able to replace all other welfare programs, so there shouldn't be people "wasting" their basic income while drawing from existing programs. Also, I consider some level of frivolities as a basic need.

2. Many poor people stay on welfare instead of getting a job because there is a "gap" where if you get a job you actually are bringing in less income than on welfare. Basic income should remove this gap, which may potentially increase employment.

3. Most poor are not starving to death due to private help like churches and food banks in my experience. I know when I went through a small period of being below the poverty line we got a small amount of food stamps + wic and ended up needing help from those private entities too despite the fact that I had an above minimum wage job. However, cheap food is often bad for you food which is why a lot of them tend to be obese(food banks and the like often don't have the money to get very much good for you food). Combine this with a tendency to binge eat when you have food then have periods where you have no food to eat.
Can anybody summarize the benefits? Too lazy to install the software myself.

As I understand, there is an escrow. Is it trustless/multi-sig based? What about privacy/encryption? Can anybody be an escrow agent?
What about working age population? Surely it isn't that much. Kind of scary when you reverse the numbers. The number of people working certainly isn't enough to generate the tax income of the country has. Yet this game is what keeps people from open rebellion; embedded taxes.

Figure it this way, if individuals had to pay the full tax load out of their paychecks that they actually do most would more than flinch.

Regardless, current subsidies to many people are higher than 10k so it would never be set there. People would get all sorts of up kicks for dependents and the like because politicians need to buy votes and punish dissenters.

So if we just consider the working population, how much does it cost? Can we then rid ourselves of some government agencies which are devoted to providing aid?
Do children not typically receive the universal basic income? If not, is it fair to give a parent of three children the same allowance as I (a single person) receive? I also wonder about whether or not $10,000 is more or less than someone on disability currently receives.

Is there a risk here that the more vulnerable members of society will end up receiving less money?

Normally I would agree, but not when it's basic services. If you could see the damage it does to a family when water/gas/electricity is cut off, simply because they're poor, I don't believe that most people would feel that it's "fair".

Also prepaid plans are somewhere between 150GBP to 200GBP more expensive peer year, which just adds to the cost of being poor.
