That's a nice theory. But I have seen comments right here on HN where people suggested that we could stop providing child support payments if we had UBI "because men would be supporting the children via taxes anyway" or words to that effect.

Furthermore, I have read up on the history of the American welfare program. It was dreamed up as a means to "help poor, single moms" at a time when intentionally getting pregnant out of wedlock was essentially unthinkable, so most poor, single moms were widows, not women who had given birth out of wedlock. The design of the program fundamentally changed the social contract and actively promoted the numbers of poor, single moms in the U.S., in part by making it less stigmatizing to have kids out of wedlock.

So, whether it is intended or not, if you pass a UBI, an awful lot of people will feel like deadbeat dads are not such a big deal and you will further change the social contract. The indicators I am seeing is that many of those changes will be negative changes rooted in a presumed lack of responsibility for our actions.
I really like the concept of this. Especially with node/react I found learning webpack and setting everything up takes FOREVER.

Unfortunately, platforms like these always seem ridiculously overpriced when compared to a bare metal dedicated server. I'd be curious to see how it is priced.
Your understanding is backwards. Stream ciphers are fundamentally compatible with random-access decryption, so yes this is entirely possible.

That said, authentication of a ciphertext is, in many ways, as important as encryption. So you would need to design the archive format in such a way that individual files' contents could be authenticated and decrypted on the whole, instead of authenticating the contents of the entire archive.
The system already tells them tough shit. If you're on welfare and spend it all, you don't just get more food stamps. Why should this be any different?
Q: How many unit tests does your largest projects have combined
I was wondering just how many unit tests people have in their projects out there; how common are projects with 100k+ unit tests for example? And how long would it take to run all your tests if you decided todo so. Personally, I have worked on projects with about 1,000 unit tests, which I expect is pretty small, or?

I suppose it's less the phrase itself than the concept. What would be a way to say "integer overflow behaviour may reflect the underlying machine, but must be sensible", rigorously enough for the C standard? We've established that "undefined behaviour" is too broad, and "implementation-defined value" is too narrow.

No, I did not say that, and did not mean that, they just have to stop the messages from spreading massively (right or wrong does not really mean a lot now). Trouble is, social media is new, it is very effective in spreading a message - any message really - and the society (and state institutions are a part of the society) did not yet adapt to it. The controlling mechanisms, the culture around the new medium, are not really there yet. So this is the dangerous time when fringe forces are trying to exploit it for evil purposes. And it is not impossible they will succeed in this, like they succeeded in radicalizing the masses in the 20's and 30's with different media.
You're going to be waiting for a long, long time.
There were countless attempts of replacing this notation with something more structured, with OpenMath [1] being probably the most advanced (and yet failed) take on this, as well as multiple CAS (Axiom, Macsyma, Mathematica and alike).

But imperative loops? No, it's not going to be anything useful and won't make the notation more machine-readable.

Symmetric encryption is still based on secret keys, not passwords. Symmetric cryptosystems that appear to use passwords just transform them with a key derivation function into a suitable-length encryption key for the underlying cipher.
"Universal healthcare is simply more efficient. The NHS delivers the same outcomes (longevity, infant mortality, etc.) as the American health system at less than half the cost (healthcare spending / % GDP)"

This is completely false.

Both 'longevity' and 'infant mortality' are absolutely not measures if the quality of the healthcare system.

I've lived in Canada, US, Germany, France.

The best healthcare system is by far the US - however - it's very expensive, and it doesn't cover everyone, which are both big problems.

The quality of care for those who are covered in the US is unrivalled.

Of course, don't get the wrong insurance, you could be out o luck, and out on the street ...
Who's the end user? The company that pays 50onRed for ad placement is presumably satisfied and sees a corresponding spike in conversions. In theory, the viewer of the ad is grateful that they were made aware of a product or service that was relevant to their interests and/or needs, as evidenced by 50onRed obtaining a good conversion rate for its client.

Pretty easy to rationalize it. The most problematic part would be the way it gets installed on user computers (covertly), but which could also pretty easily be rationalized away by saying that users don't understand all that tech mumbo-jumbo, and they just want to be sold things that they want and/or need.
Even if mathematicians were literally or figuratively stunned by the headline, it's a clickbait headline because it gives you no information about the content of the article, while trying to entice you to click through and read it with a big claim.

Regular headline: "Truman defeats Dewey"
I was frustrated reading the article to which this one is responding. Nice to read a categorical rebuttal.
Even with price of the Solarin starting at £9,500 (~$13,750), there is a market for smartphones that prove to be impenetrable. That’s because the cost of providing managed services to secure executives’ devices can be quite high. Also, the price of the phone is far less than the cost of a breach should a phone fall into the wrong hands.

> You're taking on a whole new rat's nest of complex problems if you propose to push a much larger set of children into "the system."

I don't propose that, both because I think the size of the problem that would be addressed this way is no larger under a mature UBI than it is today (even if UBI makes the responsibilities more clear), and because I think a mature UBI would reduce other sources of children entering the system (both by reducing the social problems which result in children ending up in the system, and making it more likely that alternate, extended-family placements which are generally preferred could be found to keep children experiencing the kinds of problems which could result in them entering the system out of the system.)

Ronaldo Is Worth Four Times the Entire Hungarian National Team
Oh wow. A while back I made a Raspi boot to Chromium full screen to load my Trello+Weather+StatusCake dashboard (https://gist.github.com/danroot/7610103). I felt it was way harder than it should have been, though to be fair much of the issue was that I had a line in the wrong place in some boot script. Still, I remember thinking at the time that I'd like a distro where I could easily put in Wifi and URLS, then boot directly to it. May have to revisit that now...
Isn't 'a $750 "rent stipend" bulk at the end' an essentially direct redistribution of social wealth into the hands of those who don't necessarily need it?
It doesn't, but it suggests that people should consider it far more than they do. Given how often marriages end as a direct or indirect result of children, you'd think it would come up more.

Agreed. The title is hyperbolic, too.

"Probiotics are useless" is a three-word clickbait summary for a literature review that showed probiotics have no benefits beyond increasing gut flora diversity in healthy adults. Conclusion: healthy people are healthy, probiotics appear to be indifferent to this process at worst. Probiotics are, however, clinically beneficial to those who do not fall into the ever-transient "healthy" moniker, such as those with IDB, Celiac and other autoimmune conditions affecting the digestive system [1].

"Gluten is necessary" is a three-word clickbait summary for an article about how unless you have a wheat allergy, Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, eliminating wheat from your diet is net negative because the fortification of wheat contains vital nutrients. Goes on to say eating rice could lead to arsenic poisoning. Tell that to Asia. This speaks specifically to people who replace fortified wheat with unfortified rice in their diet, and the reason it is net negative is specifically the fortification issue.

"GMOs are fine" is a summary of an article that demonstrates there is little science to back claims that GMOs are not fine. The article then argues this should preclude GMOs from having to be labelled as such. If people want to avoid GMOs, why would you deliberately hinder that? I am not sure something being "fine" precludes it from labelling. GMO wheat increased the gliadin content of wheat, which is the antigen that people with Celiac react to. So GMO != fine universally speaking.

The argument is not an unconditional "this is how it always has been".

> Which in practise everyone, without an income qualifies for.

The concept of universal basic income typically removes that qualifier - everyone, regardless of income, qualifies for it.

Integrating react-redux into an existing Angularjs application
I'm considering integrating react-redux into a 3 years old codebase of Angularjs. I don't wish to refactor the all codebase at once, rather incrementally introducing react-redux through new features which my team will develop.

1. Is there any best practices doing so? (any resources will be appreciated)
2. Can an old feature (written in ng) contain react-redux parts or I'll have to rewrite it?
3. How can I avoid doing the same API calls? (if both need the same resource)
4. Should I avoid the change all together?

(*) Posted on stack overflow as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37555762/integrating-react-redux-into-an-existing-angularjs-application
Now we only need more lock-free problems :) Seriously, I'm pretty much content with regular uncontended mutexes and atomics in the vast majority of cases.
No, you can't. Digital circuits use a few, regular cells in predictable ways to emulate an abstract logic that simulates any program. They often are designed to run clocked where they're only active when pulse hits them. They use converters to deal with analog world's real signals.

Analog circuits, relevant here at least, are primitive components that directly implement mathematical functions on inputs and outputs consisting of real, electrical activity. They... so far... can't implement arbitrary problems like a Turing machine. However, they do run at full-speed, clockless, need no converters, use little power, and can implement things shown to be computers. There's also computer models for them that suggest general-purpose computation is possible.

Both use electrons. One is more like neurons in the brain. Seriously, look at my first link to see how analog computers differed from digital ones.
My grandparents lived long enough to celebrate a 75th anniversary. I remember I was old enough at the time to be cognizant of these issues and I asked them both what "the secret was to a long happy marriage". My grandma said: "well, when I look out the window and see your grandpa drive up in his truck after being away for awhile, I still get a little excited to see him". My grandpa said: "we have sex every night, well, now days we just rub our asses together a little". I think somewhere in there they had some pretty good old timers wisdom.
There were some interesting games that used it. I think the 3rd Journeyman Project used either QTVR or some other similar technology. And didn't the Myst series eventually switch to something like that in later games?

"ultra-orthodox/yeshiva communities"

Ultro Orthodox Jews / Mennonites etc. have a very strong set of social rules, and very conservative behavioural expectations.

You can't compare someone in such a community to the American population at large.

The 'ethos' in a religious community centres around faith, family, duty, responsibility.

In America, it's 'personal aspiration'.

They can hardly be used as an experimental basis.
Maybe this is more true for research that assumes the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis than research that assumed the truth of Fermat's Last Theorem?

Maybe there was some significant body of research before 1995 that assumed the Taniyama–Shimura–Weil conjecture, a more powerful statement that implied Fermat's Last Theorem and was ultimately proven as a way of proving it.

Counter tips:

> 1. Have a longterm vision/goal for your life that is achievable regardless of financial resources/location etc.

1. Plan for financial long term future but focus on the fun in the short term. Also, good fun is a cheap fun so it's not mutually exclusive with the previous sentence.

> 2. Find a partner in crime who shares that vision and is willing to join you on what will surely be a great adventure known as your life. Life will surely be no bed of roses.

2. Don't try to find anybody. Choose science! [1]

> 3. Stress Test your relationship in some way to ensure the vision/goal is aligned.

3. Life has enough natural stresses that time alone is a decent enough indicator.

> [basic necessities] can be provided for less than $2k/year.

I'm going to assume that this means "provided for approximately $2k/year". In any case, the value of that number isn't an argument against UBI, but rather, the amount UBI should be set at. Maybe the right value is $2k/person/year.

> Basic needs? Everyone in America has their basic needs.

Given that there are adults in the U.S.A. who earn less than $2k/year, there must be people who are either not getting their basic needs met, or are getting them met only through welfare programs.

> A tent, a pair or two of clothing, and meals of rice/beans/vegetables

Assuming this was the minimum, you also need a plot of land in which you can legally stake your tent - a pretty big problem for homeless today. The rent on this land also factors in to the necessary price per person per year.

In my personal opinion, I'd say the full set of human needs includes food, shelter, hygiene, health care, companionship, and the opportunity for self-improvement/advancement. Food and shelter you've covered, companionship can be free, and hygiene doesn't have to cost much of anything.

In our current society, an opportunity for self-improvement depends on education, reasonable transportation to economically viable areas, and communication technology (such as phone or internet).

None of these things are necessarily extremely expensive, at the bare-bones, no-luxuries level. The overall cost might be a little more than $2k/person/year, it isn't necessarily as high as $10k/person/year.

In any case, I expect that providing someone who doesn't have these things (food, shelter, hygiene, and opportunity for self-improvement) will cause an non-zero-sum increase in happiness, and right now, there are people who don't have all of these things.

No one is saying that the idea is to immediately and completely dismantle the current welfare system.

It seems to me that the general idea is that current welfare systems, at least in the US, are piecemeal at best. There are many, many people who slip through the cracks because they don't know help is available or are unable to navigate the various bureaucracies well enough to get the help they need. Many others refuse to even ask for help because they don't want to admit how poor their position is or they want to avoid the humiliation of asking for help and being turned down. Basic income eliminates that problem because it is applied equally to everyone. On top of that, it will create enormous social pressure for people to spend their money wisely.

I think the concern about people blowing their money is valid, and it will happen, as it has with our current system. There will always be a few people trying to get over. That being said, I think that our current system does a lot to create these people. Try genuinely asking for help, only to be told that you are an idiot, an incompetent, and a freeloader. It's not hard to see how that sort of humiliation can breed resentment, which can lead to people misusing their welfare benefits out of spite or hopelessness.

That being said, I strongly feel that BI can do a lot to minimize welfare abuse. For most working people it won't be too much of a stretch to build up an emergency fund, and, for many, the extra money would mean the difference between living paycheck to paycheck and being able to actually build a savings. Also, for many working people (i.e. walmart employees), 10k is the difference between self sufficiency and living on food stamps, with all the arcane requirements that entails. By filtering out these good people (for lack of a better term) it will be much easier to assess whether the people asking for further assistance are in genuine need, mentally ill, drug abusers, physically disabled, or just fiscally irresponsible. From there, it will be much easier to provide these people with more comprehensive assistance based on their needs, be it personal finance classes, assisted living, drug treatment, housing placement, etc.

From there, the idea is that we can streamline the current welfare system by eliminating more general programs in favor of more direct and targeted assistance. Obviously that's not going to be all that easy to do, given the quagmire that is our current welfare system, but I don't think it's an insurmountable problem.
For sure - it's kind of absurd because healthcare costs are an inevitability.

With car and home insurance, the products can go their entire lifecycle without burning down, being robbed, or smashing into a tree.

With healthcare, a person is going to need it, and it incapacitates them when they don't get it. Personally I'm for treating healthcare as we treat most regional monopolies that everyone needs - make it a public utility. You'll need healthcare just like you'll need water and electricity.
