This is a bit of a tautology.
Low-rent housing is usually pretty bad, so when people can afford to pay more they just move to a nicer place.

As far as I know, the first-time home buyer credit made a tiny ripple in the low-end housing market - where did prices "balloon"?
College education is quite different because the "market" has a massive barrier to entry (in terms of creating a new university).

Why? We have had "automation" in some form or another for many millennia and we have not needed a "basic income".

Every technological advancement from the invention of hand tools, to creating complex machines can be loosely classified as "automation" and in every case the standard of living has increased and resources were then allocated to some more productive means.

Why is today's automation any different?

Here is a thought experiment - lets publish two bogus papers. One that claims the holocaust victims are twice as high as the current accepted consensus, and one that claims that the victims are twice as low.

If science was apolitical they both would be laughed away.

My opinion is that in the real world - both will gain acceptance at the fringes, but while one of the papers will just be burried and ignored, the other will be career ending move and will be shredded, and careers will be launched disproving it.

Same will be with any paper that perpetuates the white dominance narative and tries to disprove it.

There are bigger penalties in going in one of the possible directions of the accepted truth.

So we have built in conformation and confirmation bias in system.

And the antivaxer paper is stellar example of using pseudoscience for political gain.

Because humans will never stop climbing. It's built into us. Even most people in poverty want to climb, they just have little to no options, so they find ways to cope nevertheless.

As for rising prices, surely they can't rise everywhere? People will be able to afford to abandon the obscenely wealthy playpens (SF, NY, Tokyo, etc) and move somewhere that's affordable. Cost of living varies depending on location, doesn't it? Surely this would result in more competition, not less?

The numbers seem to work for the US.

A 10% income tax increase redistributed to all US households would be ~$11,000 per household, which is right about what the poverty line is for 1 person. If your household makes less than $110k you get a tax cut, above $110k you will be paying more to prevent social unrest.

All numbers in Billions and for 2014

Total earned income $14,700

Total income tax $1,000

--------------------------

$13,700

10% = $1,370

Total US households .125

basic income per household 1370/.125 = $11,000

I wasn't trying to raise an issue at all, merely state that Spacemacs isn't as obvious to a new user as Atom - but I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, obviously (Spac)emacs has a lot more power under the hood potentially and I am sure is worth the additional effort to learn.

> Do you not understand that I may feel uncomfortable if you've just scanned me and then use that data to try and strike up a conversation? Talk about making me feel like a product or mark.

Do you feel uncomfortable about the fact that most of your friends don't even know your birthday date or phone number, and have both noted down somewhere (be it a phone or indirectly via profile info of your Facebook account)? Is it weird for you that some may even note down things you like so that they can check them out when looking for a good gift for you? Do you feel "like a product or mark" when a conference badge you wear displays your occupation or interests (sometimes used as an icebreaker)?

(Also, you shifted from just scanning to using the results to "try and strike up a conversation"; those are two different things.)

> Tools are an extension of your body, yes, but you don't go using your hands to feel up someone because you needed more texture data.

By scanning I'm not touching you. That would be a violation, yes. But why should I let you be a master of my eyes, and the (hypothetical, at the moment) tools I use to augment them?

People will get used to it, like they do with everything we've invented since dawn of time. Social conventions will adjust. Just because my eye implant can tell me what's your name doesn't mean I get to stop you on the street and start talking to you, no more than it is an acceptable behaviour today.

An earlier Freakonomics episode [1] discusses whether early retirement is bad for the health. According to the show it actually might be: "one additional year of early retirement causes an increase in the risk of premature death of 2.4 percentage points"

Guaranteed Basic Income sounds like an early retirement option for most people, so where it's probably a fantastic opportunity for self-starters, it might be lethal for everyone else. GBI's side effect can be weeding out non-entrepreneurs.

I'm am sorry but what kind of security researcher can claim that this breach isn't serious?

"Without emotions there'd be no point in doing anything."

This is a mantra supported by the (still) majority of our current society. I presume that people who believe it don't really bother to investigate other beliefs or if there might be another base for "doing anything". To give you a hint, "emotion" and "feeling" are not the same (and "feeling" is more than "sensation"). For example, curiosity made you want to learn about the world around you and logical (mental) stimulation is the expected reason for wanting challenge and accomplishment. Emotions are just another kind of mental stimulation, one that (as I've mentioned before) played out its role and become a liability for far too many.

As a side note, when you'll drop again references in the future, don't make it too hard for your audience to pick them up. As a non-native English speaker it wasn't obvious to me that "spock" is a character (whose name I would have capitalized) instead of a less used word.
It sounds like you have a point, but sometimes intuition and/or anecdotal evidence can be wrong. It would be nice to see some economic models that (dis)prove this.

I'm not clear on why we need to upload the full codebase.

The Privacy Policy indicates that this is because their index of public code is too large to copy to the client machine. So why can't my machine just send queries as needed, or, even better, download the subset of the index relevant to my project?

Maybe it was easier to ship the "local code" search features by building on top of the existing public code indexing, which is server-side. But, despite the extra engineering work, client-side indexing for local code would definitely make a lot more sense for most customers.
Honestly, it just sounds like you've restated one of the simple versions of how basic income actually would work (and why it should be economically "easy"), and its basically the way people think Social Security works (it's subtly different, but that's a tangential discussion). MMT (Modern Monetary Theory) isn't really that far from "pretend the government had an investment account for every person and then handed them a check for the interest returns on that account", just with a lot more subtlety in what constitutes that account (because money is something the government creates in how it taxes money) and where that interest return "comes from" (because it's already there in tax credits and 0% loans to big corporations and government debt bonding and even the nature of inflation itself and weirder things). Of course, I'm oversimplifying as well, but the point is you have found the rabbit hole.

Which is to say, spot on, you've hit near the right track and aren't too far from what a lot of guaranteed basic income discussions generally start from and are basically about.
+1 for Gitlab!

But one question. What was thinking behind setting up the extensive YML structure instead of just using simple markdown? I see some reasoning with printing through a script, but will that be a significant use case?

This structure just seems complex for doing a quick PR with a question that I'd like to see added, and would keep me from contributing.

I think it's situational and individual. For a big man catching the ball at the top of the key, looking for an opportunity to drive is the logical thought, but if you're a point/shooting guard, you're much more likely (through a combination of training, psychology and physical attributes) to move laterally or take a step back. And beyond the individual level, there's the near-universal truth that a spread floor is better than cramping everyone in the lane.

Rents in cheaper markets need to be less than the difference in cost of living plus the cost of moving (amortized somehow.) Sadly, improved transportation infrastructure and technology seems only to concentrate people even more in dense, expensive cities. These cities have a lot of opportunity and connections that keep people there, often rationally, but people who struggle stay as well.
One potential source of revenue-neutral money for it is reducing other social and welfare programs. The theory goes that a UBI program would have less administrative overhead, so the savings can go to "the people". And arguably this is the hardest way to do it, politically, because it would reduce the number of bureaucratic jobs available.
It's not selfish, you are supposedly in a room full of adults. Adults regulate their own emotional state. If you disagree consider this for a moment. Imagine when you were in high school there was a woman who you had feelings for. You would had prefered that she date you rather than the quarterback of the football team. Is she now required to do so? Is she selfish for not doing so? What of the quarterback, should we hurt his feelings to make you feel better? It's all so ridiculous from the start.
Sigs are kind of in that more luxurious class, like the iPhone, so that's not a bad comparison - although I happen to be right near the Sig factory, and so there are a lot of more inexpensive "used" Sigs on the market here, since the employees can use their discount and turn around and sell them second-hand to local sporting-goods shops at a profit...
I am speaking of subprime mortgages. There was this period of time when you could get a mortgage while on disability (which is truly your "basic income" in poor neighborhoods, btw. Everyone has it. There are even specialized law firms that exist around that consumer demand.). The magic price of the house was about 40K - because that's that a person on SSI can get a mortgage for.

Well, the real question is, are you ready to pay for the Guaranteed Basic Income? Generously assuming that it's not indexed to inflation, probably what would happen is that costs would rise to account for the newfound money. Then, of course, there would have to be services that remain in place, because if people spend their income stupidly, we can't have them starving in the streets. Then you have the collection problem, that suddenly taxes would have to go up (and they would, of course, regardless of how many services you think you can cut).

The people who pay? In general, as with any tax increase, it's the middle class. It's the couple that went to college, saved their money, worked hard, bought a house and started a family. Regardless of how much you think you can raise tax rates on "the rich", the only way to pay for something like this is by getting to the middle class, which is where the tax revenue is.

This does seem to be a common thread with highly skilled and intelligent criminals. Their pride convinces them they can keep going when the truth is it is time to pull the ripcord years before they got caught and walk away with all the wealth a person would ever need to live happily ever after.

out of those two ludicrous requirements, i'm not sure which one is more of a challenge.
I don't believe it will replace all/most welfare programs. I think it will replace some and then politicians will be elected to top it up for select groups. "Fairness" will come into play, "I am disadvantaged compared to this other person, I should get more, it's only Fair". Plus regional top ups, cost of living in different places is higher than others, I expect there will be a demand for a top up based on cost of living on top of basic BI, again that'll need to be enforced and administered.

> BlackBerry (formerly RIM) encrypts all messages sent between consumer phones, known as PIN-to-PIN or BBM messages, using a single “global encryption key” that’s loaded onto every handset during manufacturing. With this one key, any and all messages sent between consumer BlackBerry phones can be decrypted and read. In contrast, Business Enterprise Servers allow corporations to use their own encryption key, which not even BlackBerry can access.

Define sentience?

The word originates from the Latin verb sentire, "to feel". Plants feel their environment. The Venus Fly Trap feels when an insect is on it, for example.

>Plants are sessile, highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources both above and below the ground. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realise the optimum variant. They take measures to control certain environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between ‘self’ and ‘non-self’. They process and evaluate information and then modify their behaviour accordingly.

A more valid argument is that the sound or sight of killing an animal is more off-putting than killing a plant, which is of course a purely subjective sentiment, hence the deeming of "right vs wrong" which is itself a purely subjective sentiment.
