Evaporate? No. Those retired people would still be paying property taxes -- you think landlords just eat that cost? Rent includes taxes, maintenance, etc, it's just spread out through the year.
Not from that region but it's probably similar to calling someone a "redneck" which is to say someone that's akin to a country bumpkin. I do think that at some point in history, and even today, it was probably common to fuck goats in some parts of the world on account of that being what was available. I remember watching a Vice video about some parts of Central/South America where it was very normal for adolescent boys to have a "chicken" that they pleasure themselves with. I'll let you google that one yourself.
As a buyer I would assume it's pretty similar to other agents. The only big difference is that they contribute some stipend to your closing costs. So it's a bit cheaper for both parties (as they take a smaller commission as well) to go with Redfin.
Why do you think UBI would be paid for by people who need it most? My assumption is that it would be paid for with a combination of cuts to social programs (i.e. those replaced by UBI) and more progressive taxes and/or corporations. So in effect it still will be "rich folks" paying for UBI.
Here's a translation of what the comedian actually said:

https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/4ebe9p/what_böhmerm...

He appears to be telling Erdogan what would be illegal, and making up all sorts of horrible things it is very obvious that Erdogan doesn't do, interspersed with things he may well be guilty of, like beating up minorities.

Now should the German court object to Erdogan coopting the German legal system, I wonder if a defence might be that in fact Bohermann was saying a whole bunch of ridiculous things that are obviously untrue but that satirises how sensitive the Turkish president is.

Now if the Turkish president says that it wasn't all untrue then he'll need to admit to some malfeasance, which he clearly won't ever want to do. So the Bohmermann can say that it was all absurdity and clearly as none of it was true he proves his point that his criticism of Erdogan is valid and that he is an over sensitive despot who is trying to prevent freedom of expression and criticism.

Either way, no matter what the Turkish President does, the comedian wins. The penalty is jail time, but just how long is the minimum and can the comedian be pardoned? And if the comedian goes to jail and the law repealed, then it's open season in Germany and every man and his dog will be throwing even worse insults at Erdogan!

I can see a sort of German Streisand Effect occurring where the insults ratchet up incredibly and an entire nation sticks there collective middle finger up at the Turkish President, who as soon as the law is repeated will be powerless to do anything about it!

Erdogan just can't win, even if he succeeds in jailing the comedian.
I don't know why you're being upvoted. Your argument, to me, is meaningless.

Basic income is about having enough money to eat and get shelter, without ANY need to work - and see what happens to human beings in that condition. If the same human being has to fund its own basic income, what's the point?

Basic income, to me, HAS to be funded by someone other than the recipient. Otherwise, it's no experiment at all.
Money is created from bank loans. Wealth may be slightly different, but at any given time there is a fixed amount of money in existence and the only way to increase it is to originate more bank loans.

Hmmm... Defend human rights and look like a hypocrite, or allow human rights to be abused and look like not a hypocrite?

Turkey complains about crimes against humanity? That is rich, they have never acknowledged the Armenian genocide and they are currently bombing the Kurds while having previously helped IS, who are themselves guilty of crimes against humanity.

Their leadership needs a diplomatic spanking.
Well... it might depend on the message the police deliver. If they're saying, "Look, some of these people react violently when you say stuff like this, and we can't always stop them, so if you're going to keep doing it, you'd better think about your physical security", that's perfectly reasonable.

If they're saying, "This is a polite, non-official notice that if you keep saying stuff like this, you are going to face unofficial heat from the government, in ways that you can't prove is because you're saying this stuff", well, that's not appropriate for a free society.
Hint: the 2011 airbook is practically indistinguishable to the 2012 model. but the 2012 model has a cheaper SSD.

factory firmware on that SSD has a bug that causes it to permanently lock up / disappear from the bus, with the result that all data on it is lost. Apple will replace the SSD when it happens, but data will be gone.

If you're getting/using the 2012 model, I'd recommend getting a replacement SSD from OWC or Transcend before installing Linux.

The wifi is Broadcom and works poorly under Linux. Not so many crashes anymore, but frequent disconnects, horrible performance and quick loss of of signal when the ether is crowded or the laptop is a few meters away from AP.

The wifi card can be replaced, but AFAIK, the Apple-provided firmware will not allow the machine to boot if the PCI ID of the wifi card does not match the original broadcom one. I don't think coreboot runs on the airbook either.
Wow that chart is astonishing, and in the context makes the headline a little misleading.

Having a such a small percent pay such a huge share is toxic. I've heard people who pay high taxes say incredibly entitled things about "paying for" things. It destroys a sense of shared investment and purpose.

Clearly the solution has to be to ensure income is more evenly distributed, though I don't know how to do that exactly. Education and learning skills necessary for high paying industries would certainly help, but every time I hear that it feels like kind of a weak solution. That said, I don't really have a better one.

What are some interesting off the wall ideas for reducing income disequilibrium?
Very interesting to get the perspective of someone who is directly affected by this.

I'm conceptually a supporter of TOR, but these real-world accounts of the problems that exist with it are hard to ignore.

The pragmatic side of me agrees with pretty much everything in this article.
You don't need to prove actual damages in cases of defamation per se --- there are types of false statements that are presumed to be damaging, such as falsely accusing someone of having committed a crime or of dishonest business dealing.

But, the statement does need to be such that that a reasonable person might believe it to be true.

Are you seriously suggesting that throwing one of your own citizens under the bus for mean words affecting the fragile feelings of a foreign Head of State is proper and correct diplomacy?
>Process matters. A lot.

Within an established system.

Germany and Turkey have no common justice system or even a common foundation for the rule of law. Erogadan is playing outside the scope of any justice system, and so should Germany, because it holds all the power here.

After all. The only rules to The Great Game, are that those who follow the rules, lose.
Not in the US, you can be pardoned before trial. Germany might be different, but it's a common setup, and the law requires the government to say OK.

The bit about creating a cgroup per tty was news to me, and now I'm wondering if the way I usually manage Linux servers scales up to heavy traffic (usually if I'm involved it's small potatoes).

What is good about en_CA? Do you just want colour in spell check instead of color? I have always left my machines in en_US to avoid any bugs due to strange keyboard mappings/layouts and general paranoia that things only get tested when in the standard configuration.

Do you really believe the 1% richer would earn so much money without exploiting the work of the 99% others you want them to get rid of? That's ridiculous.

How am I an apologist? I have defended nothing, merely clarified.

I am now done replying to you as you seem to be merely interested in picking a fight rather than having a discussion.
Money changes hands in exchange for something of value. I give Apple $300 and I get an iPhone. Apple takes that $300 and gives it to someone else in exchange for something they value. Money is merely a medium of exchange. The wealth is the products we produce and trade for.
Those aren't insanely cheap computers - those are top-of-the-line machines - so you can't really design an application to require that kind of hardware to work effectively and expect the user response to be good.

But you're right, that kind of computing power is cheap compared to what you can do with it. If the $1000 in lifetime cost that separates your system from a baseline enables you to be a few percent more productive, it will quickly pay for itself.

I don't think this situation is about it, but I've heard of that being done with a loophole/abuse of the H1B system. Tech jobs will be posted for a fraction of what they would normally pay, not receive any applications, and then companies will apply for H1B visas to import low cost tech workers willing to take on long hours at low pay for the chance to get an American citizenship.

"Most earnings for the top 1 percent come from investment proceeds; the stock market has risen steadily since mid-2011." There's no particular reason that middle-class people couldn't make the exact same investments in the stock market. The only difference is a lower amount of capital to invest. "Created" is not the word I'd use to describe investing your wealth and sitting around waiting for a return.
That's ridiculous, what % of software companies open source the software they kill? 0.1% maybe? Did Google open source Reader or Dodgeball when it killed those?
I second this encouragement strongly. Some of my favorite open source projects started with people telling the author "don't be stupid, why would you try to build [x] when there is [y] and you definitely don't understand the challenges of this topic". Linux, Leaflet, the geojson spec and several other projects started exactly like this - somebody excited to learn/build something challenging.
Given that it's only those at the top that receive the benefits of economic growth (FTA: the bottom 80% of Californians saw no growth in their adjusted gross incomes between 1994 and 2013) higher is absolutely better. They're clearly skilled at harvesting the economic contributions of those worse off than them.

If the state really wants to screw you over, there are plenty of ways to do that regardless. "Disorderly conduct" has been used as an ad hoc speech suppression mechanism even in the US plenty of times; it may not hold up in court, but by that time you've got an arrest record, a mug shot, and have spent a night in jail. And often enough, it results in convictions [1].

Don't get me wrong, the German laws against insults are all kinds of silly, but abusive government officials all over the world have long since figured out that asking forgiveness rather than permission gives them a lot of leeway regardless of how permissive the laws are.

While not really a replacement, there's always j2objc. On the downside, it doesn't provide APIs, it just translates Java to Objective-C source. On the upside, it's straightforward, fast, and can be integrated with Objective-C/Swift code easily via a GWT-like JSNI mechanism. Some people have wired it up to libGDX and PlayN to provide a layer for writing games.

I will say that as soon as Xamarin bought RoboVM my heart sank. I had a feeling Microsoft was going to buy Xamarin, it made perfect sense to do so, the only other choice would have been to buy Unity (which they could still do) And of course, if MS bought Xamarin, there would be no point in maintaining both a C# and Java product.

You can't equate earnings and production. First, when you earn so much money as the top 1% richer do, it is largely because you rely on (or exploit) the work of others. Secondly, not all "production" finishes as income. Making art, raising kids, etc. are examples of productive work for the society that people are not necessarily paid for.

In your model, unemployed people should starve to death in the streets? Or would they dig their own graves first?
Yeah, you really do need more information to decide if that's fair or not.

I don't really see a problem with tax brackets though (I'd rather see a formula though rather than discrete ranges).

I'd argue that a lower income bound and upper taxation rate should be established - say $20,000 and 60%. That means that no person earning less than the lower bound will be taxed and no person will pay more than the upper bound in taxes. Then it's just a matter of describing a curve that satisfies those two constraints.
Yeah, I know, had to do it some time or another.

In OS X and Linux (and Windows with Cygwin etc) there are several command line programs such as unix2dos (line ending conversion), iconv (encoding conversions) etc for doing just that, so that you don't need to do it in an editor and can even automate the work.

> "says a big "F* Y" by eliminating the law and saving the comedian"

I don't think that this is "saving the comedian", since the law should be eliminated as of 2018. It's likely that judgement (at least at the first level of jurisdiction in case of objection/revision against) will be made sooner. Further who knows what proposed legislation come up since then, or like the Germans say: Since then, a lot of water will flow down the Rhine.

Currently Germany isn't known for its great process against odd repressive laws, I would say it's even the contrary developement when it comes to state authorities, which leaves me sceptic about that.

I get the "point" of UBI, but there is the problem of who pays for it. The answer of "other folks" is very difficult, and to me, the most controversial part of it, which is what I said.

To make sure we have the same premise, Universal, by definition, means everyone within a certain boundary (e.g. citizen of a country, city, state, whatever) receives the money, regardless of their income, location, etc?

To be functional, the money that is doled out needs to be collected from somewhere. It isn't that each specific person needs to fund themselves, but the set of people that receive the "Universal" basic income needs to generate the income needed to pay for it. If an outside set of people pays for it, then it's not a universal basic income, it's something else -- it's taking money from one set of people to give to another. I believe the whole idea of UBI is that everyone gets that same money.

The real problem is the collection problem: if you have a set of these 3,000 people who receive, say, $100/mo (made-up number), then I think a true test of Universal Basic Income is that the income has to come from that same set of 3,000 people.

In what way is that meaningless? I think it's a valid question to ask.

Remember that the chart only deals with income, not the net wealth of tax filers. It's probably harder to get reliable statistics on call Californians' net wealth, but I bet that would be a much more interesting graph. (I am not suggesting a California wealth tax.)
* create most of the wealth from employees educated under taxpayer funded education, utilizing tax-payer funded infrastructure, on business verticals where the bedrock technology was funded through federal tax funded research & grants

Fixed it for you. It's fair because it works. America didn't become an economic powerhouse through poor income stratification and letting the rich hoard all the money. It grew through investment in the conditions that are conducive to the rich having the tools to build wealth. Those investments didn't happen when the system didn't force it, see the early half of the 20th century. What we are doing now, all of this lunatic libertarianism that goes on in the valley, this has all been tested before with disastrous results.
In Europe is far worse. In Italy I believe that 60% is the minimum, with two caveats:

- there is a huge problem of tax evasion, in the sense that a big portion of the middle-high income professionals declare only a small fraction of their earning

- the health system is public

We could argue for hours about whether it's right or not to increase taxes on the richer, but truth is that there is a natural balance that occurs when the tax rate is so high that people prefer to ask Putin for a citizenship. I believe that with these numbers, California might have a problem.
