to answer your question - it depends, since you might like your job, or might not. if you do not like - then yes - quit. this is a whole idea behind it.

but citing this part bring larger question - is it really a basic income they are voting for? as far as i remember, basic income idea was to pay everybody some sum, no matter how much or little person is making.
Ask HN: Email client alternative to Nylas N1?
I am currently using Nylas N1 and I did see some alternatives last month. I decided to try them after I was done trying out N1. Well, now I cannot find the links and I think my browser messed with my bookmarks ;). So, kindly list the alternatives any of you are aware of. I did check all the links on http://alternativeto.net/software/n1/, but no good.
> The idea of essentially telling people, who are currently alive, "Yes, we can keep you alive, but by letting you die, there is some probability (which we don't really know and are just guessing at) that we can use the saved money to prevent 1.2 deaths" strikes me as the plot of a horror science fiction movie.

People hate having to make that choice. Hate it. But that doesn't make it go away. We could make cars safer in well-known obvious ways, but they would be more expensive and use more fuel. Many, many, many lives would be saved if we immediately stopped burning coal, but electricity would be more expensive, and then maybe some people would freeze to death because they can't afford heat, or because they became unemployed and lost medical coverage. And in some cases we may even be getting it wrong, but that doesn't get you out of having to make a hard decision.

I don't agree with the ACLU on everything, but they make a pretty solid argument by my lay-eye that the NSA's conduct was explicitly illegal.[1]

For the poor and working classes who live month-to-month -- which is a large and growing chunk of Americans -- money (or the lack thereof) is a huge source of stress, fear, and -- yes -- unhappiness. It probably also shortens your life.

Heh. Here in .au Amex acceptance is pretty limited in most smaller businesses, but it's universally accepted at supermarkets and department stores, upmarket restaurants, etc. Smaller businesses, as well as hotels, tend to charge surcharges of 1-4%, if they accept Amex at all.
I believe the difference is that chromedriver still spins up all the normal chrome interface, which wouldn't be needed for the headless chrome. I think the stated deliverables help discern the intention:

1. A library which headless applications can link to to.
2. A sample application which demonstrates the use of headless APIs.

> Even if Chrome had push notification on iOS I can't think of any logical reason to build a push notification inside Chrome if I were Facebook

Facebook has already implemented this. It is in use today on mobile web. If Safari on iOS (which powers "Chrome" on iOS) is updated to support the Push API tomorrow it will start working. Facebook has already implemented it.

As for the rest we're not even talking about web at all. Back to your original post:

> The web (html documents fetched via http requests) were not built with mobile devices in mind, especially websockets. In the mobile era, all messaging is based on push notifications which must go through the device vendor (APNS or GCM), and trying to support the legacy tech in this landscape is just not worth it.

"Legacy tech" isn't necessary to support push notifications on web. Yes, Safari on iOS is woefully outdated for now (which again is what powers "Chrome" on iOS). But it is currently supported on Android (across multiple browsers), soon Windows, and it's possible Safari on iOS will add support in the future https://onesignal.com/blog/when-will-web-push-be-supported-i... Facebook is already using this today.
I wouldn't say it's a glaring error. It's a stylistic choice, though I will agree that most style guides' guidance (yeah, I chose awkward wording because emphasis) is that you should use the 's after the word if it's singular and doesn't otherwise sound awkward with the extra syllable. Achilles' tendon, for example, would sound awkward if written as Achilles's tendon.

I think the argument could be made that business' sounds better, since business's could easily be confused with the plural form, and three consecutive S letterforms looks awkward. In fact, now that I think about it, I would've written it the same way.
I was not aware there was a bing maps. (not a troll, just a random data point).

I agree that apple's effort in developing maps has to scale over a smaller user base than google's efforts, which doesn't encourage the same level of investment. Plus apple doesn't appear to be able/willing to monetize their user's usage the way Google can/does which also increases google's incentive to do a good job.

Honestly, I really like and use many Apple products but I don't really understand their long term play.
This is coming from me being most comfortable with OOP and dynamic languages.

If you want to write Scala to actually get things done, you will find that it's a miserable language to learn and that you will need to invest significant amounts of time, energy, and sanity to learn it. Furthermore, there are no shortages of Scala apologists who are so utterly enamored with the cleverness of the language that they will not concede how much of a pain in the ass it is to learn. They will claim it is easy, and then they will have no empathy for your plight. It is actually quite shameful.

The attitude in Scala-land is that you are the problem, and not Scala. When you do encounter a roadblock to a seemingly simple problem, which will be quite often, you're lucky if you find a 20 paragraph explanation on StackOverflow. Otherwise, you can hopefully find a lengthy blog post about something closely related. In either case, the attitude is that it is _not_ Scala's fault that solving problem XYZ requires you to understand several chapters of advanced concepts -- it's _your_ fault for not already knowing it.

Shall we add more hypotheticals to a hypothetical ;)? Pardons may include stipulations. Suppose this one exacted an agreement that no further germane information ("currently in possession of the putative pardonee") will be made public subject to rescinding said pardon? Presidential pardons are typically treated as sacred by the Justice department no matter their form.

> A UBI will do the good things I claim only if it replaces all other transfer payments and the bureaucracies that oversee them.

Unfortunately, I have 2 problems with this:

1. Of the people that I see in SF who could use UBI, almost none of them seem the type who would clean up their acts with UBI. They have serious mental issues, and money means only 1 thing to them: a means to chemical substances. So what do you do when a guy blows his $2000 monthly stipend on hookers and blow and now is back on the streets? Arrest him? Send him to jail? Put him in a mental hospital? And who pays for that? And who provides him the services, if the bureaucrats who used to do it are gone?

2. What do you do about the millions who are employed in the service-providing sector (bureaucrats, non-profits, etc.) ? Right now they make decent money; you're now going to lay them off. Where will the jobs come from for them?

This is the typical Scala apologists' reply. It's not a problem with Scala, it's a problem with you.

When it takes several dense paragraphs to explain simple problems, it means that problem is not solved easily. For some programmers easiness is very important -- this seems like something Scala supporters refuse to understand.

In parallel with everything relating to employment opportunities, I wonder if we are honestly doing enough about helping individuals with everything that goes with performing job tasks. Things like:

- being punctual
- staying healthy
- staying positive/motivated, not making excuses
- presenting and speaking well
- importance of attention to detail and initiative

Even before jobs are lost to automation, there are countless tasks that are very simple to do, but I imagine many people fall and stay out of work due to the above issues rather than lacking skills relating directly to their tasks.
Have you ever counted the number of families that live in a single low-end housing unit? It's not uncommon for it to be 2 or 3 in more expensive areas. If those families each get $20k/yr in UBI, many of them would be looking to move out on their own.
as with any of those things, it all depends on the specific of which industry you are, your size, your market, etc.

there is absolutely no way you can say it is better for one side or another.

I think the most popular opinion around here is that once Mr. Poor is liberated by the UBI from the impossible treadmill of minimum wage working-poor jobs and a legal system that is outright hostile to those of lesser means, he might make a few burgers of his own and compete with Mr. Rich's defacto monopoly instead of being his near-servant at his former Mcjob.

Basic income, if implemented without certain companion policies, is destined for failure. There is simply no way to affordable provide basic income to people in most places at current costs of living. Anything more than $10k a year is just too unrealistic from a budget standpoint. That's enough for the rural US, but it's far from enough in most places.

What we need is policies to reduce the cost of housing, such as subsidies for high density, low cost units. We have the ability to make very cheap housing out of factory built modular components, but there are tons of other hurdles, like regulation and NIMBYism. Transportation is another major cost, but fortunately that one is about to be solved. In the US, healthcare is still a major issue however.

At least in Washington State, the TPP is explicitly mentioned in the (draft) platform as being something the party opposes.

Depends on the industry, and the size of the company.

If you look at the garment industry, it would be a boon for brands and a bust for small manufacturers. Being able to go yarn forward into Vietnam would have a massive labor savings over the US and Mexico.

As an example, there are a LOT of pants made south of the border now (US factory that were moved or new ones opened). The TPP in recognition of what a bad deal it is on this front, leaves in some protective tariffs for 10 years to allow folks who JUST moved or JUST started, time to recoup costs before moving again.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. In defense of my mentality:

> One of the best qualities people can have is to see the good in something/someone. The bad is of no value, so forget it, but celebrate the good.

This depends on your objective. If your objective is to be liked by others - then by all means ignore the undesirable aspects of people and things and only acknowledge those which perpetuate warm and fuzzy feelings all around.

My problem with this behavior is that it makes its way into the democratic process, and tends to override objective critical analysis.

I think as a society we need to respect and honor openness and critical thought. Censoring our interactions in a manner that perpetuates some kind of self delusion - although a happy delusion - is counter productive to progress.

> Likewise you can look at an online community and take heart at how people had a shared recognition of great achievements and are able to celebrate it together. It does no good to dwell on the negative and suppose that people would actually deify someone or support everything they do without hesitation in order to affiliate themselves in some way.

That might hold some weight, in this case, if there wasn't an overwhelmingly disproportionate amount of grieving for someone whose life as an entertainer made little impact on the daily lives of others.

Sure, there was admiration and fantasy spread amongst the throngs of enthusiasts who followed the life and times of Muhammed Ali. But had he never existed the world would be no different today.

So I think it is absolutely incumbent on me to outwardly, vehemently condemn the intellectual class (Hacker News) for being so shallow, so superficial, and so sycophantic. We must rise beyond this mentality as a people in order to gain equality and value those who contribute in a more fair sense.

Trade deals are by their nature multilateral. Try to do them democratically, and they simply won't get done: every country would propose amendments, each of which would have to be ratified by every other country...

The irony (yes, actual irony, not coincidence for once) of someone saying "XMPP sucks, WhatsApp has their shit together" is both tragic and hilarious, and completely summarises the majority of "Forget XMPP its dead" arguments.

I don't actually believe Hillary Clinton is against the TPP. I believe she's only saying she is against it because she's running for election. She doesn't want to lose to Sanders or lose his supporters. Only now that the deal is finalized, it's very clear that the TPP is not popular among Sanders voters, and she is in a presidential run off, does she oppose it.

She previously described the TPP negotiations as "exciting," "innovative," "ambitious," "groundbreaking," "cutting-edge," "high-quality," "high-standard" and "gold standard."
