I get very lazy in a hot shower, and just want to lap up as much heat as I can get. I'll happily stand there and keep nudging up the hot tap. My skin probably suffers a lot for it. Whereas a cold shower, I'm probably in and out in less than 5 mins.
Yet surveys put them in the top happiest countries in the world. I have to refrain myself from saying something overly generic here, but do notice the big contradiction between what you just said (which I believe is really true) and what I just said. Let's say that people up there tend to hide themselves from their true opinions sometimes.
Thanks for the remarks!

> Expand into other Amazon countries. You have .com - so why not .co.uk, .it, etc? Should be a simple way to test the markets.

I'll give the other points more time to think through before reacting, but this got repeated below – I don't want to seem lazy, but it is actually not that easy. Amazon does not share its products api between countries. Every new country means putting work in a totally new product database, with its own serials and prices, meaning other products should be picked. Still something that can be done, but something that amounts in expanding to a new country.
I get what you're trying to say, but how is it more insecure than doing "git clone; make; sudo make install" or double-clicking on a NSIS installer ?

I think the reason for huge support behind Basic Income is failure of government in efficient allocation of its resources. The current generation with its experience with public education, spending on unnecessary wars and other poorly run government programs no longer trusts government to effectively deliver services. Thus Basic Income seems like a natural solution. I honestly would prefer a smaller government that reallocates resources, over Bernie Sanders style big government socialism.
Here's my advise:

* Don't worry too much about crazy contracts / terms of service. If you run a business you will end up signing all kinds of ridiculous contracts. If you are worried about the consequences, get a normal job instead.

* Don't expand to other markets before you've managed to crack one market. Right now you can experiment easily with the site, if you expand to many countries making changes will get a lot harder.

* Who are your customers? Who is using your website? This is the most important question, and further development of your website should start from here. Are you targeting hard core gamers who want to get the highest frame rate for a budget? Or are you targeting parents who want to find out how much they have to spend on a PC that runs Minecraft for their kids?

* What are you doing to promote your website? How do people find out about your website? I see you have this bbcode widget, so I assume you are hoping that forum users use your site to share configurations. Are you doing anything so people can share configurations on Facebook / WhatsApp / whatever people use to communicate today?
I would say that this is a good argument against using such a complicated spec. This kind of constructs should be explicit - if in a build system at all. I hate Make because of all the crazy "build systems" that should have been written in a more readable language, but ended up as a Make kludge.

You are a lucky person if you have used so many languages and never missed a thing in a language you are using at the moment that is readily available in some other language you have used in the past and that would make everything so much simpler!

For example the OP got fed up with Python and switched to Node. Now he is fed up with Node and switching back. I can say that focusing on the downsides of the tool I am currently using and the upsides of the tool I am not using is a fairly common thought pattern for me too. Of course the way to combat it is to remember that it is very rare for some tool to be strictly superior to others and just focus on the task at hand.

Choice is a very dangerous thing. When reading the book "Coders at work" I was struck by how primitive some of the old computing environments were. But that did not stop those people from doing amazing things with them. I now think that was partially to their advantage because they were freed from choosing the language/framework and so could concentrate on doing, you know, actual stuff.
The whole thing seems to be handwaving that only a non technical person could believe.

Because when you're not a technical person, you won't have good priors for what constitutes proof. You'll be falling back on the same intuition you use when reading a detective story. Who has motive, who has skill, and so on. None of which take you out of the zone of doubt (say between 10 and 90 percent certain) which is why detective stories are fun.

If you're a technical person, you can see how big a deal being able to sign is.

For me, it's pretty easy. If someone says they're Satoshi, we ask him to move some BTC from one of his addresses to another. They'll still be in trust (crappy excuse). If you can do that, you're either him or he essentially gave you his identity by giving you the key.
Would be sweet if you could customize the options in your printed sheets. Example: I know how to preform basic git operations, but sometimes I need a reminder of how to push a local branch to a remote with a different branch name.

Thankfully those deals are a US-specific things. They exist in germany but are very rare. In 99% of all cases to ignore that does not harm the result.

For the US, pcpartpicker uses them, which means they are either coding that manually (they have a staff of several people) or are using API capabilities to get that info.

I have done some small personal projects with React, Angular 1 and 2 just for learning, and I agree with your assessment. If I were building a production system with a small team of intermediate non-specialists, I would use Angular every time. For a front end dev, it's like comparing SASS (React) to Bootstrap (Angular).

They're both good at what they do, but they have different sweetspots in terms of the problems they're good at solving.
I recently watched "The Century of Self" -- it was excellent and I can thoroughly second iheartmemcache's recommendation.

As for getting the balance of hearing all arguments, I have a habit of doing the same. I regularly read The Economist for its free-market bias (and excellent writing, btw), for example.
I'll quote @slackstation from his comment in an entry from a month ago:

So, from the document:

Row house in York (well built) -> 5£

Also:

Laborer wage -> 2£/year

In 1300, 2.5 years of wages bought a good property in York. Interesting.

Also, using pjc50's linked calculator:

https://www.measuringworth.com/calculators/ukcompare/relativ...

5£ in 1300 are more or less equivalent to £3,534.00 in 2014's purchasing power.

I don't think I can rent a house in York for a year for that kind of money.

What's going on? It looks like that 1300's little folk was better off than we are. Technology has improved, but social distances are bigger than ever. Yes, we have heating and the internet and all that, but if you look back Louis XIV didn't have any of that... does that mean he was poor?

As an ideological position it has some interesting points to make, but in a contemporary legal setting it's difficult to find footing.

My personal position is informed by Hobbes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_(book) ) in that we have to make compromise with our individual liberty to bring about a greater good.

Agreed. Seems to be a lot of disregard for the idioms from people picking up Go. I've recently had myself removed from a pairing where the project was some sort of ghastly java oriented Go. Not enjoying it.

My advice would be to compile your CoffeeScript to JS, then start from there. That's assuming that CoffeeScript still produces readable, idiomatic JavaScript...?

As of TypeScript 1.8(?) you can set an "allowJs: true" flag in tsconfig.json, which tells TypeScript to include JS files in your build.

Then you can just manually add type annotations and ES2015/2016 goodness to your code and change the suffix to '.ts' on a file-by-file approach.

I'm doing this at the moment with a fairly large AngularJS 1.5 project, using Webpack with awesome-typescript-loader as the build system, and it's working perfectly so far.
paying whatsapp?

I don't know portuguese so I didn't actually read what the deal is.

Is this a service where subscribers pay the carrier a fee for 30 days of unlimited data traffic to whatsapp servers (VoIP excluded) + 50M of data ?

If yes, does that constitute a transaction the consumer makes directy to whatsapp via the operator? I understand that likely whatsapp and TIM (an Italian company btw) might have made some deal and exchanged some money for the use of whatsapp logo etc, but I guess that transaction could have been done anywhere.

No, crypto is crypto-anarchy does mean cryptography:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism

'The "crypto" in crypto-anarchism should not be confused with the use of the prefix "crypto-" to indicate an ideology or system with an intentionally concealed or obfuscated "true nature". For example, some would use the term "crypto-fascist" to describe an individual or organization that holds fascist views and subscribes to fascist doctrine but conceals their agenda so long as these doctrines remain socially unacceptable.'

The crypto in crypto-anarchism is intended to signal a link with cryptography.

Yeah and, for sure, it won't pass... considering how conservative we are, plus the legal side of the proposal is not so clear in where the money will come from.

Oh good, it's the language police. What would this forum be, after all, without folks like you telling us what to say and how to say it!
I'm still wondering about one thing: if everybody has a basic income, then who will be doing the dirty jobs like collecting our waste? Will the price for waste collecting go up? And will there then be a kind of economic "inversion", where the intellectual people prefer to work on interesting stuff at the expense of money, while the "non-intellectual" (need a better word here) people will make all the money doing the dirty jobs?
I'm echoing blockchain as a metaphor for consensus - conflating even. I just thought there were interesting parallels between the technology and the actual social scenario that is being played out here.
Hostgator review (updated)
>> "But in the U.S., many liberals see it as naive and a distraction from more practical priorities, such as a $15 minimum wage and paid family leave."

I can't see how they could believe this. First of all a minimum wage becomes unimportant as you should hypothetically have enough money to support the kind of lifestyle a minimum wage job would provide without working. Secondly, as it's no longer financially critical to them, people won't be as inclined to take on minimum wage type jobs - which will force the wage up anyway so that the business can attract employees. So it should take care of itself. As for paid family leave (I presume they mean maternity/paternity leave?) you won't need that as your basic income will ensure you still have money coming in. And if the company wants to retain your services after your leave they will offer it anyway. The key point in these examples is that even if you don't get a higher minimum wage or paid family leave it's no longer going to have a big effect on you as you have your UBI to rely on.

Also, it doesn't seem to me like there is a left/right split on this elsewhere in the world. This leads me to believe that the problem is the highly partisan US political system. The right is obviously going to support UBI as it would significantly reduce government size - the left can't be seen to be agreeing with the right. I think it's a kind of childishly schoolyard thing you see a lot in US politics (he likes that so I don't).
I did it for over year. It's still uncomfortable as I remembered that I always need to mentally get ready. My upper arms, especially triceps, are the most painful, coldest body parts when showered in cold water. I'm not sure why. During winter, I literally had to jump up and down, screaming to withstand the absolutely torturing coldness for the first five seconds. It gets a little better after that. I couldn't never take cold shower too long before the freezing water penetrating the skin and shivering the bone. That's when I know it's time to finish and get out.

Dirty jobs already are paid a premium. I would expect the differences to be amplified though, for good reason?
It is already the case - go try and pursue a career in academia and see how much money you make compared to a plumber.
> And will there then be a kind of economic "inversion", where the intellectual people prefer to work on interesting stuff at the expense of money, while the "non-intellectual" (need a better word here) people will make all the money doing the dirty jobs?

In the long run, any menial task is supposed to be automated away completely. In short term, what you described already happened in area like Post-doc and game industry (or humanities degree, if you will ...).
Is it possible that the Economist reporter didn't know Gavin, and Wright also provided a fake Gavin too? Getting slightly far fetched, but from what I've read so far nothing would surprise me ...
Thanks for your input.

Could you give a rough number "on how many of those you can put into a single cell"?

Anyway, I still think, this is a great step forward, but maybe not as revolutionary, as I thought at first look (I think basic info like this, belongs into the news article).
I believe so - yes. Send me an email with your details and I can find out from our recruitment team.
People keep wanting to make Basic Income a thing but it is never going to become a thing. It has some good ideas, but it's too radical for mainstream consumption. The Bernie Saunders of ideas. And that's an important point, because there is a positive feedback reporting loop whereby people actually think it has support because it keeps getting posted on Reddit etc.

React is not "eating Angular's lunch". The only reason it seems that way is that it is impossible to have a conversation about Angular on the internet without a horde of React zealots turning up and banging on about it.

Recommending React to somebody who's considering Angular is like recommending tyres to somebody who's shopping for a car.
Basic income will become new zero. That idea is retarded
Small amendment - we're also hiring in Glasgow, for anyone looking for tech jobs in Scotland.
In my opinion a UBI won't work until we can automate more of these jobs but in the short term I agree with you that the wage for them would go up to attract people. It would also depend on the size of the UBI. If the UBI is just enough to get by comfortably but not enough to make big expenditures like a new TV/phone etc. then people will have to continue to work to afford luxuries. A lot of people do those jobs because they don't have the skills necessary for other jobs so if they want luxuries they will still do them (maybe part-time instead). I could also see highly skilled people who want extra money for one big purchase to take on a job like that for a few weeks (which you couldn't really do at a tech company).
I have a project that I now maintain on just 2 hours a week... But I worked on it for 4 weeks, 10 hours a week...

So that is 136hr/y.

Revenue for the past 12 months is £26,500

26500/136 = £195ph
Neither C nor C++ have a standardized ABI, if by standardized you mean part of their respective ISO standard. Nor they could, as the many of ABI properties (names, calling conventions, layout, object and executable file format) are intimately platform (as in OS and CPU) specific.

Most platform officially specify their C ABI, and many also specify their C++ ABI (usually in therm of the C one). Itanium C++ ABI (plus the platform specific psABIs) has become the de facto C++ ABI for many unix and unix-like platforms.
Why does it follow that the answer to an inefficient government is to give that same government more power to redistribute wealth?

Being a big inefficient government and redistributing wealth are not mutually exclusive.
This doesn't seem like enough for Switzerland - what do you think? Based on my experience this would be on the very low side. The previous vote on minimum wage was quoted as working out at around 4000CHF/month. Granted, most basic income proposals are on the low side - this just seems even lower than normal.
Companies do not build similar airplanes nowadays, as there is no tactical role for a high-altitude high-speed unarmed medium bomber. Yet NASA needs to do high-altitude high-speed research.
