Ime Inc. Confirms Breach of Myspace
This already exists in the form of supermarkets and the housing market. No need to re-invent the wheel here.
I think Milton Friedman's negative income tax is an improvement on this idea, and has the benefit of providing more of an incentive to work.
Just got an email today from the same site that I am in the leaked myspace dataset. Is this a new dataset or else why are they notifying me only today?

"part-acquisition"

So in conclusion, someone bought up the scraps at rock-bottom prices just before a potential bankruptcy. Ouch.

I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise. They brought on a former Yahoo VP as CEO four years ago. As the article and one of the comments therein pointed out: it seems they didn't have much in the way of new technological or algorithmic advantages to build on and didn't have much in the way of direction-setting from the newly installed executive staff.
Why should incentivizing the creation of economically unfeasible and unnecessary jobs be a goal?

Such a system would be a huge mess of misaligned incentives.

It just occurred to me that birth rate might go up on Basic Income, which wouldn't be very sustainable.
I know middle income people spending their money on craft beer on the weekend and not participating in their company 401K. Or living effectively paycheck to paycheck. They may have "disposable" income, but only in the sense that they can float emergency spending on credit.

So yeah, there's a difference, but it's one of privilege.

Bad long-term financial decisions aren't exclusive to the poor.

You grew up poor. That doesn't mean your new middle-class peers had to learn the same lessons you did. They aren't middle class because they're smarter, more disciplined or have a better work ethic. They're middle class because they were born middle class.

Wanting to improve class mobility is one thing. Blaming the poor for not doing so on their own is another.

There isn't anything special about the HyperDev work flow. You can take any project that runs in HyperDev and `git push heroku master` and have it running on Heroku, or run it locally in a similar manner. HyperDev gives you an environment where you can update and deploy your code without having to set anything up to get started. You can collaborate with anyone by just sending them a link. There will always be a place for more custom environments, but we hope that HyperDev can serve 99% of developers and people who write code on computers.
The way I see basic income (BI) is like when you get money back after doing your taxes only with a BI you get it up front and more of it.

It's not meant to be your only source of income but I can see how some people would chose to use it as such. At first it would be confusing since any social programs currently in place such as welfare, unemployment insurance would be phased out.

The current government of Canada is proposing to implement or at least look at a basic income.

> It seems like BI is an answer to a false dichotomy.

[...]

> What if we fix our society instead? What if instead of massive seeking of profiteering we actually double down on our efforts to improve lives today, right now in this very moment

BI is usually presented as a right now improvement, that also gives more improvement as technology advances. So, the false dichotomy I see is yours: between "improvement right now" and "improvement as technology and productivity improve".

> Only if they go to a college with no tuition

Tuition is due a few times a year (usually twice, but some systems are quarterly). If the student gets a BI every month, there should be no issue affording tuition, in addition to living expenses.
This seems amazingly over-the-top. I get that it's their living, but I'm amazed there hasn't been some sort of resolution (e.g. giving out a fixed number of licenses like they do with cabs). People threatening to kill each other and cutting brake lines, etc. sounds like something that would've been tolerated in 70s and 80s New York, but not present day.
Normally I would say that printing more fiat currency isn't theft since it's usually done in a lawful manner. And since theft is by definition unlawful taking, then that wouldn't qualify. But inflating the money supply by 2-3 trillion dollars would be a generational transfer of money like we've never witnessed in the US.
Regarding concurrency, the folks at Oracle welded sqlites front-end onto berkeleydb. Since bdb does page-level locking you can potentially see much greater concurrency with the bdb implementation.

Ask HN: When would you accept a sub-par salary?
I've been a professional programmer since 2000, hobbyist since 1995, without formal education in computer science. The last ten years of my life, projects I have been in have all touched on basically the same tech (lucene, solr, es, sql server, oracle, ravendb, asp.net mvc/webforms, cms:es written for .net, all of the what-have-you-got-to-offer-me-dear-microsoft stack (including sharepoint) and a bunch of other MS-related tech.

I'm usually the best payed developer in the house. When I am not, it's when I really shine.

I want to work for Google. Or Microsoft Bing (because they could definitely use my help). Or for someone who is determined in their quest of breaking the momentum of both of the previously mentioned players. I have no other training other than Wikipedia, MSDN and a few more sites plus 20 years of experience in programming*. The most interesting domain (in life, other than my two children) to me is information retrieval, machine-learning, neural networks and A.I.

I have been offered a job one point five hours from where I live. They offer me a great deal of money should I choose to work for them. More money than I have ever earned. Not a HUGE pay check, but something that comes close to what my friends from college (who all went on to become businessmen and businesswomen) earn today.

I have been offered another job, 15 minutes from where I live, where the Chief Dev promised me that I would be working with IR, ML and AI to solve some great problems of theirs. Today, before I left the (third) interview I had with them, the Chief of all that is IT, and the Chief Dev, told me (after I had asked them: am I over-qualified, under-qualified or am I just right?) in a joined chant told me I am just right. However, they cringed when I told them what I currently earn.

Would you take an offer that _could_ take you to closer to your dream job but that pays $2000 less that your market value?
I don't believe many people will be buying vices to the point that they also can't eat, but I also don't think BI's adoption will shut down soup kitchens and other benevolent places (nor stop people panhandling, but it certainly may change everyone's opinions on giving to panhandlers).

I don't mean to sound cold, but it sounds like the person your describing is at such a point that they simply can't care for themselves and need to be hospitalized.

My idea is just figure out a way to nudge earth towards the sun and inertia will do the rest, slowly but surely, so a vote for their #10

How is it flawed? A TOS that discourages hate speech and enforces some sort of standard seems far less stifling than intimidation by rape and death threats.

It's funny to see people get bent out of shape at the idea that they might have to watch what they say when the consequences of saying something offensive are just that a platform might not let them publish everything they want to while there are large groups of people who already have to watch what they say because the consequences of saying something that another group disagrees with are rape threats, death threats, and harassment campaigns.
Absolutely. There is no question that we're not even at the beginning of making a dent in the Education space. I think once we have fully immersive virtual reality we'll still just be at the start of understanding the inputs/outputs. The people studying transcranial simulation are a bit out there but the essential idea of understanding how our students understand is clearly vital. Having the ability to know when a student has truly grasped a problem or stumbled onto the solution, just that alone would be magnificent. Also the idea of a good pedagogue for each child, monitoring and helping the child's entire education cycle into adulthood and beyond would be a great thing. I'm sure you've read the Diamond Age and are familiar with The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer.

Thiel often says something to the effect of that when he worked out the value of Paypal, that the major value really came ten, twenty years later. So it would be important to focus on looking at those companies which could have a reasonable chance of having that kind of longevity and not worry so much about big spikes in valuations in the here and now i.e. sustainability was the major driver of returns vs the attraction of viewing investments as being lottery tickets.

The same thing is almost certainly true of the Net+Education. The major structural change the Net brings to advantage our lives probably doesn't exist yet or is in very nascent form. Either way the good stuff will take considerable time to mature to get us to that high hanging fruit.

Education in particular has so many sacred cows blocking the way to improving it. We do need some of your 'Whoosh' moments to break the conventional wisdom[s] that exist about Education though. It is more than possible that The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer and VR and transcranial monitoring/stimulation are the wrong paths.

We'll probably make horrible mistakes you know, but the Net is kind of like a giant Undo button that should allow us the ability to retrace our steps to where the initial error got made.

Whatever happens, a whole lot of ox is going to get gored! :-)

12 reasons why mobile already ate the world, according to Ben Evans
The only point is getting a work permit/a legal way to stay in the US.
Benedict Evans, Andreesen Horwitz venture capital analyst and blogger, says mobile is no longer in the process of eating the world, but that “mobile ate the world.”

Evans made the statement during his yearly mobile presentation, which he published at the end of March. Over Memorial Day weekend, I read his presentation, which has become a high-tech industry touchstone, and summarized the tall tent poles of this 76-slide tome for those short on time.

You might have a point there, daily payments could turn the best of us into daily drunks.

Personally, I learned being moderately frugal from having a large (for a kid) stash of cash in the bank (piggy and otherwise). "Do I want X more than I want to keep the money?" is a very different kind of question than the two separate "Do I want X? Do I have the money?" that I observe in people who never had that chance.

Maybe something like annual/1460 a day (for not starving) + annual/24 a month (for regular bills) + annual/4 once a year (to keep that long term thinking sharp) could be the best pattern. Somewhat foolproof, but not unnecessarily fool-creating.
> It just occurred to me that birth rate might go up on Basic Income, which wouldn't be very sustainable.

IIRC, empiricially birth rate tends to go down with a stronger social support network (probably because people rely on children reaching adulthood less as an emergency support).
Would be nice, but I think you're underestimating the costs here. Pulling dark fiber to a location and lightening it up is expensive but it's nowhere near the cost related to connecting it to every home around the venue. If memory serves, 80% of a telco network's costs were the last mile ~15 years ago, and I can't imagine the economics have changed that much.
> Because the "is currently doing" is predicated on a path to success that rested on "has done in the past"

Upon closer reading of the original statement, I agree. I think the core point I wasn't accounting for is "every nation". If every example includes an attribute, then it's not logical to assume the next item won't.

> I disagree with the lackadaisical presentation of this sort of corporate behavior as something which, by-and-by, people should let slide, so why worry about it?

Are they letting it slide? The Google pharmaceuticals ads scandal was resolved with Google forfeiting the gross revenue of the program to the tune of 500 million. That can be interpreted multiple ways, depending on whether you believe that was an adequate punishment, or whether you think that could have been a learning experience. Is having the government punish Google, given their mandate by the people to police this, sufficient to consider it accounted for? Does the bank robber who gets out of jail after 10-15 years still deserved to be ostracized by the community, or has the punishment already been paid?

> Furthermore, a young person is comprised (by definition) of a single young person. A young company can sometimes be made up of young people. However, a young company can also be made up of seasoned, cynical people who take seriously the attitude of doing bad when it helps you succeed, and well, maybe some good when you can afford to later on.

I wasn't trying to focus on young vs old in company or employee age, but that time can cause change in a person as well as a company (it's entirely possible 10 years on that a company may not share a single employee or board member with the prior incarnation). This is the Theseus' Paradox[1] applied to corporate entities, past behavior, and current standing.

I think you mean "more than usual". I feel like it's more that the media is reporting on failing startups at a higher rate this year since the deflation of the startup bubble is a popular topic.
Retra, paraphrased, reasons "Moral facts exist because decision-making structures exist which are necessary for moral reasoning and this reasoning in turn is necessitated for our very existence".

This, shorter, amounts to "Moral facts exist because humans employ moral language and must to survive".

That humans happen to employ decision-making structures, employ moral language, tell themselves morals exist, or even need moral language and norms to survive/thrive/be happy/be comfortable does not tell us if moral facts actually exist.

It only tells us that humans happen to employ morals and happen to need morals to exist. As amazing and insane as it sounds, what Hume shows us is that we cannot even assume human continued existence is necessary to reason. Reason is, as Richard Dawkins notes, cold and indifferent to human existence. At this "necessitated by our existence" is exactly what Retra's argument improperly assumes and hinges on. As Hume writes "It is not contrary to reason to prefer the destruction of the whole world to the scratching of my finger." The same logic that prevents us from decreeing whether Hume ought to scratch his finger based on any observed 'Is' likewise prevents us from decreeing whether Hume should destroy the whole world.

> Thinking back I do not know anyone in my neighborhood who was genuinely a hard working person with no vices.

You're mistaking correlation for causation, which many do and is why this debate is so polarizing. Many people develop vices because they are neglected, as a coping mechanism/self-medication for their hopelessness. With more resources, they have more opportunity and don't need to self-medicate as much. This effect has been studied.
Insurance. There has to be insurance, and it should be part of BI. So Basic Income & Insurance. BII.

If someone keeps making claims, then they should be investigated for insurance fraud, and processed accordingly.

As for people wasting their income... This shouldn't be a concern for any BI system. The system distributes basic income. What people do with it should be up to them, just like they are free to spend their pay check as irresponsibly as they wish.

If there are specific cases where someone is mentally or physically incapable of responsibly converting income into basic necessities, we could let there be basic shelter and food (what homeless shelters are today) and have those expenses deducted from their BII.
Smalltalk has a lot of similarity with functional programming. Smalltalk's True and False instances are basically Church Booleans, and Smalltalk collections were processed frequently by passing a Block (like a first class function).

The problem I see with your statement is that most Americans know that SS is not a retirement fund, but they treat it as such because they don't save. So, when you say "It's not meant to be your only source of income ... " I see millions of people using it as such if BI is enacted.
I think the fact that these tools don't exist speaks to Twitter's priorities, though, and in a discussion of editorial control of social platforms that seems like a salient point.
That has been common in physics for a long time, too. For hot new topics, the conversations are often happening through preprints rather than peer-reviewed articles. (The papers are usually eventually published in peer-reviewed journals, though.)

So you are implementing a lottery.

Why not examine existing lottery winner stats? It's essentially identical to what you are doing.

I still fail to see what anyone gains by this "experiment", except for some good PR for YC.

Not to mention, you opted to use a brand new PhD, instead of (or under the supervision of) someone more established and experienced. For this work to be taken credibly, it must have weight behind the research.

If this thing was really just about gathering data, you would have just done it... not wrote-up a blog post about it, posted it to HN, and then spent hours defending it.

It might make sense if you are bootstrapping and Phoenix is a place you want to live. (It is too hot, too conservative, and too suburban for my taste)

But if you try to raise money, you suffer from a valuation penalty for not being in Silicon Valley - just from the fact that there will be fewer interested investors. That valuation penalty is probably going to far exceed the cost savings of being outside Silicon Valley.
Increasingly libertarians make those arguments, but that wasn't always the case. Both Hayek and Friedman argued in favor of a basic income:

As a dev here in Phx with several friends in different startups who are also programmers, I can confirm a lot of what the article says.

Next time you think of spinning up a company in silicon valley - try to remember there is likely someone else trying to build the exact same thing here and doing it with 2x the number of employees(because labor costs are less here) and an extra year worth of capitol because space is cheap.

Yes heat is tricky, but compared to the pain of failure or losing out to a better functioning competitor it seems a small price to pay.

I'm using ST because I want to use the same editor for my code and data, and I rather frequently get 100mb-1gb textual data files, logs, tabular data in plaintext or json, etc - not big enough to require special tools to process (I mean, they're a small fraction of my RAM), so a text editor should allow to eyeball them and do some basic processing - edit a particular line, do interactive global regexp replacements to e.g. adjust the columns in a million-line file, etc.

I haven't tried Atom, but the Hydrogen plugin looks very interesting. How does it react to, say, being asked to do syntax highlight on a 100mb json?
