"pendant" != "pedant".

Now that I've identified myself as a spelling pedant, the answer is: Not in general.

Judging by the people I've met in life (yes, selection bias ...) there is no correlation.

1. People, I have some really good colleagues. Then the flexible work hours, nobody really cares if I come in at 6, have a 4 hour lunch break and the finish my work from home, as long as I am able to attend our meetings, and all of those I can do online. I finished my drivers licence this way. Third is the breadth of technologies I get to use.

2. Better compensation. I know the company I work for is below average in my location/profession. Second, I'd like to see more drive towards quality and less on showing barely running mvp's out of the door.

3. I have a small child, so I am willing to forgo better pay if I know that nobody will even blink if I suddenly get from my desk at noon that I need to run an errand and don't return. Second reason is, that in a year we will release new mayor version of our produce and I would really like to see it in better state than barely working MVP :)

4. If my current situation changes, i.e: if my daughter is in kindergarden and wife at work I would exchange the flexible hours for higher pay.

> do you believe these people are worth less because you believe yourself we choose our values and inherit our intelligence ?

No, but I would probably be less inclined to want them as a housemate (RE: the article). The premise is that the e-mail is all you have to go on, so while it's definitely reading into the details it'd almost certainly be a consideration.

For example, if someone places a low value on communication then it would likely be more difficult to come to reasonable mutual understandings about household protocols (chores/cleaning, respectful practices, etc).

> Do you despise them even more so now that it's a value question and not an intelligence one ?

I wouldn't say I despise (or even dislike) them at all, we'd simply be unlikely best friends.

> Or are they not intelligent enough to pick up the adequate values ?

No

> It also depends on how you pick up on the less grammatically versed or bully them into shame when pointing out their mistakes. Do you do that ?

No

> More importantly: s our grasp of grammar strong enough to make up for the perceived deficiencies of the other interlocutors ?

Even if it is, it can be a terrible experience where one side is doing an incredible amount of work compared to the other. Incorrect homophones can be very difficult and when you combine them with spelling errors and other errata, it's often as bad as a garden path sentence because the message can be legitimate but have changed meaning. Just omit commas for some fun: "Rachael Ray finds inspiration in cooking her family and her dog"

GD, if it's meant to create distrust and runs, almost by definition must over time lose its value compared to USD.

Gresham Dollar is not meant to create distrust and runs. It's meant to withstand distrust and the psychology behind currency runs. If people want to get rid of their GD, the only option they have to spend it. Spending GD resets its lifetime, so the same psychology that would normally deplete the reserves of a central bank has the opposite effect on the USD reserves backing Gresham Dollar.

Are you worried that a Gresham Dollar panic would increase monetary velocity enough to kick off an inflationary feedback loop? I'm not worried about that. The same panic would also strengthen Gresham Dollar's peg to USD by making our USD reserves last longer. And because the peg would remain strong, any inflationary effects would affect GD and USD equally.

It might start off 1:1 with us US dollar, but it must drop for the simple fact because it's supply will exceed USD.

Do you feel that merchants would refuse to agree to reserve requirements below 100%?

That's another fundamental problem with currency or its like -- the entire human race is really not just cooperating with it, every one will also try to game it. It's like a horde of intelligent learning agents trying to bring it down for his own benefit.

Some people are definitely doing that, yeah. One "attack" that I could imagine being carried out against Gresham Dollar is if a GD dealer sold a large amount GD people who were under their Activation Cap to help then "top off." This would cause us to burn through our USD reserves more quickly because more GD would be active.

There are other possibilities, but I'm not worried about something like a currency run panic.

> It would be very easy to make holding such stock illegal.

Really? I think the USA already has many laws in place to make offshore tax evasion harder. These laws also have the effect of making it very hard for Americans to do (honest) financial stuff in other countries. For example, you want to buy a second home in another country, and maybe open a bank account there to take care of related bills? Or maybe you see some great investment opportunities in another country and want to open a brokerage account there, to buy some ordinary shares? Well, because of the laws already in place, many foreign banks don't want to deal with you, because complying with these laws is such a hassle. Well, I guess maybe it would be worthwhile for them if you were a billionaire. Also, you might end up with a tax bill of more than 100% of your gains back in the USA, if you're not careful.
A hashbang is specifically a fragment starting with a ! character, hence "hashbang".
Something is wrong and broken with "modern capitalism" if a mere 90,000 people have more wealth than 90% of the planet. All the arguments about investment and job creators falls flat; we have gobs and gobs of excess capital desperately seeing some productive investment. Capitalists don't need any more capital at the moment.

(Reminds me of the hedge fund carried interest exemption, which primarily benefits less than 100 people in the USA, with the vast majority of the benefit to the tune of > 1 billion dollars going to about ~5 people. So much so that they spent millions lobbying Congress to stop any attempt at closing the loophole and succeeded.)

I wish the old Soviet Union was still around. The communist revolution scare put the fucking Fear of God into the capitalist class.
Which means that BI would stimulate the economy in a way that trickle-down economics cannot.
There doesn't seem to much in the article to suggest it doesn't trickle down, so the headline is rather sensationalist. They are saying that lots of it goes off-shore, but unspent wealth will not "trickle down" anyway (granted, there is perhaps more incentive to spend if the alternative is getting taxed, but the extent is unclear). These people are likely still spending quite a substantial amount back into the economy (and tax, although obviously nowhere near what they "should" be).

I do think there is general agreement that trickle down is not as effective as "advertised" but that doesn't mean zero effect.

It's also worth noting that the headline figures are total amount saved offshore across all countries, not the tax on that amount (or its returns) for a given country and its alternative internal tax structures.

I think the argument generally is: people will spend most efficiently and effectively when they spend the money on themselves, based on their own unique needs. This lowers the cost on everyone else, while providing maximum benefit to those in need.
>My visceral reaction to grammatical errors is the feeling that the person places less of a value

You have to go a layer above that and ponder if the person consciously analyzed whatever combination of letters+punctuation he/she wrote had a weighting for others to assign a "value."

For example, you used the word "impacted". Some stylists are annoyed that the noun "impact" has been verb-ified into "impacted" when there was already a perfectly good word like "affected". However, others don't mind it and it is already widely used in serious business writing and academic research papers. (Many PowerPoint slides have the word "impacted".) The point is you don't sit down and weigh how others judge you for using "impacted". It just came out naturally from your brain, to your hands typing it, and that's what we see. You didn't intend for that word to act as a speed bump for others to judge you. Thankfully, most of us don't care about it.

Also btw, you have "comma splices" in your post.[1] Again, I think it's better that most HN readers are forgiving of grammatical mistakes because I don't think most of us would want to see endless meta tangent posts pointing out and correcting everyone's errors.

I'm an outsider to this, but Obamacare seems like a tentative half-step towards a sane healthcare system like the rest of the developed world has. And as far as I can tell the only reason it's a half-step is because the red-tribe has been convinced for decades that it would help African Americans and so voted for people who worked against it.

Trump could be seen as these red-tribe members realising they'd been duped, but it could also be seen as the Republicans losing control of the racism they cultivated to win those votes in the past.

Did you read the article? If you did you would understand there's an art to getting caring right, to 'just care' can be damaging if its not done right.

Furthermore, whilst I agree that our society is fairly individualistic, there is a certain wisdom in that. Our society has changed dramatically over the past 200 years and that rate of change doesn't show many signs of slowing down. I'd argue this has led to making it harder to learn from our immediate predecessors. For example, take relationships. Divorce has become the norm rather than a rarity, and while that's not necessarily a negative trend (I'd rather people became divorced if it was clear that the care needed to resolve issues was lacking), it would suggest many people grow up without a model of a healthy adult relationship to follow. If we don't know how to be in a relationship, then we should at least focus on looking after ourselves until we work out what a healthy relationship should be like.

It's a wishful thinking. If anything, people are worst money managers. Free money will simply be used to turn on pleasure centers. Ofcourse, there will be many who will channel the money wisely (80:20). But if argument is that basic income can be used for better life, why not simply give that better life as defacto infrastructure.
Most that wealth only exists on paper sadly. If they were to actually withdraw it all at once and spend it, the value of the money itself would rapidly decrease.

Likewise if you tried to tax all the wealth they are actually consuming, e.g. all their income or all their consumption, the amount doesn't come out so big either. IIRC it's between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars per person in the US.

I’ve run almost exactly the same number of experiments as the author, and experienced the same frustrations until recently.

It sounds as though the author needs to combine the "How we improve conversion without A/B testing" section with user tests and data analysis to build stronger hypotheses. Since we've put more effort into the research phase, our success rate has improved dramatically.

The real value of A/B testing is validating meaningful hypotheses that help you learn what matters to your customers, not unrelated individual improvements. By only observing the overall trend, you miss out on this.

> The more I treat other humans as emotionally driven markov chains (rather than intelligent thinkers) the better my life outcomes are.

I think all humans are emotion optimizers, trying to maximize the good ones while avoiding the bad ones. But:

1. Some do it by hacking the world to make it feel better.
2. Some do it by hacking their perception of the world to make it feel better.
3. Some do it by trusting others to make them feel better.

The people you call "markov chains" are probably number 3. They tend to live in reasonable consensus with majority of their peers, which means that people help them and things usually turn good enough for them, to great frustration of some elitist engineers who can't imagine how such dumb people manage to survive :)

Number 1 are your garden variety nerdy engineers, 2 are clinically insane and probably somewhere in between is where genius lies.

The money gets spent on rough sleepers. It doesn't get spent of services that would prevent people falling into the category of rough sleeper.

Spending money on the psycho-social stuff - drug addiction, alcohol addiction, debt advice, housing support, MH treatment, employment support - would prevent a bunch of people losing their homes, and would turn the huge numbers of people who are vulnerably homed into people who are less vulnerable.

Sadly society pretty much says "Fuck You" to people are rough sleeping where the needs are easiest to see. It's going to be harder to get society to stump up the cash for prevention, even though the "spend to save" figures are remarkable.

Another effect is that not only would GD be viral, BI inside this system itself would become viral.

By "viral," do you mean "inflationary"?

I'm not sure how useful it is to compare student loans to basic income. Student loans have to be paid back. And they can only go toward college, so they cause market distortions that a basic income wouldn't cause.

Many of the products and services we use benefit from economy of scale. The more we produce of a particular product, the cheaper it becomes to produce each individual unit. If we give people money to buy more goods, we will scale up to produce more goods to sell to them, which in no way pushes prices higher. A basic income won't, on its own, lead to general price inflation.

It's hard for some people to have empathy for those who are less advantaged then them. People don't see all the things that went right for them, and so they imagine that everyone is equally fortunate, and thus anyone who isn't doing as well is the victim of their own mistakes. The truth is we are a product of our opportunities and circumstances in ways that are scary to contemplate.

Indeed. The AP M2 round is the standard for National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IV rifle plate armor, but to the best I've been able to determine it's not a "serious" AP round, rather, it has a pill of relatively soft steel inside the normal lead and was developed in the run up to our involvement in WWII as much for the lower cost as the increased penetration. The latter of which was appreciated towards the end of WWII when I've read it became ubiquitous, and for example in city fighting one or more 20 round BAR magazines of this were used to knock holes in masonry walls between buildings.

It was probably made the NIJ standard because it's the only somewhat common AP ammo a US cop is likely to go against on the street, as noted by extrapickles the serious AP ammo is a lot more expensive, and I'll add not really legal any more since there are some pistols that'll fire it.

Notably, ESAPI military equivalent plates also aren't certified to stop anything more serious than AP M2, and I assume again for the same reason, there is or was a lot of surplus AP M2 ammo out there at one time. In the US civilian marketplace it's pretty much dried up as I understand it, e.g. see the few hits this GunBroker.com search finds and the prices: http://www.gunbroker.com/Ammunition/BI.aspx?Keywords=ap+m2 and I can't find any demilled bullets there or with a couple of minutes of Google time, whereas they were commonly available not too many years ago, certainly within the last decade.
