I'd add that I think the Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, is considered the most influential person, though I'm not sure how the voting works.

The deal long (or always?) has been that a European runs the IMF (Legarde) and an American runs the World Bank, currently Jim Yong Kim. As you might imagine, the rest of the world feels a bit left out.

> how would yo go about gaining in mathematical intuition when you are in your 40ies?

Exactly the same way that you would go if you were in your 20ies: Get the relevant textbooks that are typically recommended by professors and read them (sorry, the textbooks that I can recommend for basic studies in mathematics are all in German (my native language); only for main studies in mathematics I can tell English textbooks).
"Evangelical" christianity has come to describe a certain group of mostly Protestant believers largely found in the South and Midwest US (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism).

Interestingly enough, they're more of a political identity in some circles as beyond a few (relatively minor) theological differences with denominations like Baptists, Methodists, or "non-denominational" groups they mostly identify based on social/political issues (gay marriage, abortion, religion and government, etc. etc.) rather than theological ones (although they do their best to tie the two together).
Subsidiaries in countries with low tax rates certainly aren't against the spirit of the law.
I agree with universal healthcare being separate from BI. I would also favor all of this being a kind of hybrid federal-local system. I'd also be receptive to having minimums. Like a minimum amount of basic healthcare (rather than unlimited). Also, for housing, give people a fair chance at finding a job wherever they got laid of from their previous longest term relevant job, but if they fail, move the resources to a more affordable area (after say, two years). Food, provide very basics (avoiding starvation) anything above these minimums would be covered by BI.

Why? Because some people will succumb to bad decisions and I'd rather the consequences be softened by a set of minimums.
>The thing is, that communists in 1948 really did win the elections.

Elections where the population was presented with a single list and where the police force and officials overseeing the election had been purged - both the army and police force were under Soviet-influenced Communist control. The only non-Communist minister, Jan Masaryk, was found defenestrated outside his office. (This was declared a suicide, but in 2004 Soviet archives indeed confirmed that he'd been thrown out of his window).

In simpler terms, this is called coup d'état.

Oh sure! There a nice places everywhere! I think we can both be jealous of folks who live in Boulder and whatnot.

I guess what I mean is this - we have several HUGE parks right in our urban area: South Mountain, the Phoenix Mountain Preserve, and the McDowell Mountain Preserve. If you like to hike, mountain bike, or trail run, we've got a great community of folks out there wandering around. (This time of year, at the crack of dawn.)

C++ too - a lambda expression (with optional captures) is literally defined in terms of transforming the expression into an instance of a local unnamed class. And of course Java where the equivalence is supremely explicit - before Java 8 anonymous inner classes were the way to implement closures, and the Java 8 lambda expressions are merely syntactic sugar for creating an equivalent AIC instance.

Anarcho-capitalists are a subset of libertarians, and one which may not overlap much with the subset that sees UBI as a preferred alternative to current programs.

But "anarcho-capitalists do not..." is not a basis for any generalization about libertarians.
Oh come on,

The title and the article seem to be essentially accurate but are written in a breathless "we'll make this math stuff exciting, darn it" tone that some might like but which, as a math person, I find somewhat grating.

I think science/math writing of twenty or forty years ago was still reasonably effective and with that, we could get-by with a headline such as "A impressive result in the combinatorics field that uses the 'polynomial method'"

Edit: I appreciate that quantamagazine.org is doing a bunch of math articles. But we gotta admit it's injecting about every bit of "this is simply amaaaazing" rhetoric it can muster, which detracts somewhat from at least my enjoyment of it and actually it a harder to figure what's happening (from MA-level perspective).
Don't agree with this. Usually, when people refer to "OO", they're talking about subtype-polymorphism along with OO 'encapsulation' of mutable state.

These are very distinct from a FP approach. Note that in Scala, you can do 'pure FP' that looks very much like OO,

myData = oldData.change().map(x => x+1).filter(x => isTrue(x))

So you can see that the verb/object dichotomy sort of breaks down. In mutable 'OO' worlds, state is always implicit (because of this).

In the large, this is much harder to reason about! Even in Scala, a language which gives us OO, we (Verizon Labs) as an organization elected to lean hard on the FP side and shy away from the OO side of things.

I guess, then, that the gist of this debate is:

- If you get attacked in a way where the XSS would allow token exfiltration but are protected by HttpOnly, then the attacker is more likely to just grab data with your session cookie auth and POST that data over to their server using JS (or some other super-CSRF-like attack), so the HttpOnly limited the data you can protect to the token, which hardly matters at that point.

Is that a more fair understanding of the issue? Thanks for the correction here!

Just had an interesting conversation with a former co-worker at a mid size corporation. She stuck to the standard corporate ladder while I jumped to start-up within the corporation - experienced lot of growth but then laid off in the midst of the great recession. Since that time I have added to my technical skills and become less of an industry analyst and market consultant and much more of a builder.

I have lived the much higher risk professional life than her. Start-ups both venture backed and lifestyle, consulting and gig economy. She jealously commented on how I was constructing a current 'career' that took the best of the several different roles I have held over my professional career. And, in truth I have optimized for interesting and potentially high payoff.

However, I found myself looking with some longing at her "boring" but corporate journey with its good salary, good benefits and relative stability and wondering if I should have optimized for those characteristics.

The creative freedom of the gig and start-up economy extracts its price in uncertainty and not everyone hits it big.

Liberty is about having a choice.

Being taken care of is security. They are completely different concepts.

If you are given liberty you can still make foolish choices that lead to a loss of life or shortening of your life.

Also, if someone else is forced to provide for the other person they definitely don't have liberty, they are basically a slave to another person.

A basic income system like that proposed by Georgists,Geo-Libertarians, and I think Thomas Paine (Agrarian Justice) is compatible with both left and right libertarian views.

The right to life is a moral imperative, but the protection of life is something completely different and is a slippery slope.

What welfare programs for the rich? The rich pay for everything. The bottom 60% net a negative ten thousand dollars. The next 20% break even (~$1000/year paid), and the top 20% pay out the nose.

"Their land"? Ukraine wasn't changing any land ownership AFAIK. Russia on the other hand currently might be doing just that, for some people.

(Source: a person a met who was born there. He told me that as Crimea is now under Russian control, the land registry is also moved to Russian system. If you want to ensure land ownership of your home, you have to re-register. It's not cheap, so many people cannot afford it. If you don't re-register, nothing happens - unless you happen to speak out against the new order. In that case someone will notice that you don't own your home, it actually belongs to some new friend of the new powers-that-be, and in fact your home is somewhere in Krasnoyarsk Oblast which is where your family was registered in 1942 or so).

This is second hand information; but a developer at my place of employment tried to get around path limitations by applying UNC paths and was met with many, many barriers where windows internals themselves only understood the legacy version of paths and the UNC "limitless" approach didn't actually work.

this was on windows 7 though and relatively recently, perhaps it's better in 8 and 10.
That would be an interesting analysis: savings of premature deaths from smoking vs long terms costs of people that smoke and don't die and costs of treating those early deaths before they die. Intuition says the costs probably outweigh the benefits there. Even so it feels pretty macabre (and species threatening at the extreme [1]) to consider someone dying before they need medical care a savings.

[1] Considering killing someone before they're born saves the cost of them and any children they would statistically have. So if we wiped out everyone we'd save all the money ever spent on healthcare.

The reason why they do specifically BI research, is because BI will prevent the Market from collapse since people will still have the discretion of buying things, instead of rationing. Otherwise, BI is not the simplest, not the most obvious, and not the inevitable way to provide for the unemployable. As long as there are human needs , there will be people willing to do those jobs, so it's not like the starving people will just sit there waiting to die anyway.

> As I understand it, "evangelical" just means the church tries to get more members

"Evangelical" is a label that was adopted by a specific group within Christian Protestantism that was reacting against specific elements that were seen as problematic within Fundamentalism (it was essentially a dissident offshoot of Fundamentalism) -- the term had some prior use, which in part inspired the label selected, but that's now pretty much its exclusive use when used to describe a subset of Christianity.

In some respects, some of those disagreements have faded over time; there's a lot of overlap in terms of both religious ideas and relation of religion to civil society between Fundamentalists and some subset of Evangelicals, though the range of Evangelical views is still broader. Its not uncommon for people outside of either movement to use "Evangelical" and "Fundamentalist" interchangeably.

At which point CPS intervenes. The other piece of the puzzle would be high quality orphanages, operated with expectation that the chidren will not be adopted, instead dedicated to providing the best possible environment for development.

Our current system tries to fill the role of the orphanage as best it can without taking the children away from their parents, and I don't think it works for anyone involved. Bad parents are enabled, poor kids rarely overcome their upbringing and continue the viscious cycle, well adjusted kids from stable homes have their education disrupted and often violence inflicted on them by the poor kids, and it only gets worse as time goes by.

This was my first reaction - how do you define Hate Speech? It's similar to the quote about pornography, "I know it when I see it." But today's hate speech was yesteryear's vernacular.

> If you get all your money at once you can always have a buffer for these unexpected things.

That doesn't work in practice as people are really poor at budgeting thus the big trip on the 1st of the month to buy groceries.

> That might be the difference between making it to a job interview or not, or buying medicine for your kid when it needs it.

If I'm paid daily, its more likely I can buy that medicine or make that job interview. The actual difference is the big payments and frankly sucking up a chunk of the monthly is going to hurt pretty badly. We're talking about the same amount of money distributed differently.

> If you start coming up with extra cases for when it's urgent and you can get a bigger payout, you're again complicating the system and adding extra bureaucracy where part of the idea is that the simplicity of the system compared to classic welfare systems is what makes it more affordable and allows to give bigger monthly payouts.

I don't think I understand what you meant by this paragraph.

It seems that with 30M monthly users, they could have somehow made enough money to keep things going, even if they had to lay some people off.

Even if they are getting acquired, this seems like an insane move for the new owner.
I hope BI just never flies because financial problems grow out of real problems. You cannot solve human problems by cutting a check to all the poor people. Poverty grows out of very real problems like chronic health issues, learning disabilities, abusive relationships, etc. These are not going to be magically fixed by giving all poor people a check. Furthermore, I have my fears that both poor people and the rest of society will put less effort into helping people with very serious, intractable problems to actually resolve them because "Hey, you have your UBI." And I think that is likely to cause far worse problems than we have currently.

I just hope to god UBI never is real. Pilot programs often go well. People who have the proverbial rich uncle to draw upon tend to do better than folks without such a resource. These pilot programs are more like that. When you actually try to guarantee universal support (a la communism), historically, it has always failed to work out well. It is a fundamentally broken model.

I am totally in favor of financial stability for low-income people; I just am not in favor of initiatives that have bad unintended effects like harming people and reducing the wealth that makes long-term cash transfers possible.

Theoretically, you can only tax people in such a way that they never fall below the $75,000 a year happiness threshold and use the money to bring people closer to $75,000 a year. In practice (and this is not hand-waving, it is the history of the United States) it's so much easier to pay for social programs with regressive consumption taxes (food, fuel) that they end up high enough to cause hardships. $100/month for, say, half the adults in the United States would be $144 billion, about the size of the federal education budget. Re-arranging the tax structure to accommodate this would not be easy, and I think you have to assume that at least some of the additional tax burden would fall on people who need all the money they currently earn, and on the people who receive the benefit. Likely, a high percentage of it would. I don't think an assumption that political capital would be spent to keep the tax progressive, since there are higher-priority proposals in existence that do this for Social Security/FICA/Medicare, and even those have side-effects most don't care to recognize.
