I really whish more people knew about OCaml's object system.

I would actually argue that OCaml has a better OO system than most OO languages, but it looks and feel quite different (it's "functionalish": immutable by default, objects are structural and can be classeless, etc).

In the end, despite its strength, it's used very little in the OCaml community: Modules are better 95% of the time.

The gold standard for doing nice encapsulation, abstraction and separation of concern is neither functions nor objects, it's ML modules.
I'm very curious about how the participants other income will change. Income is the best proxy we have for productivity, so if their other income changes much then we might be able to make some interesting observations about their work/leisure tradeoff.

It would also be very interesting to see how productivity changes with respect to demographic factors.
A lot of the people who are going to be on BI in the next ten years are adults who are in good mental health and perfectly capable of spending within a budget. Uber drivers. Servers at restaurants. General hospitality workers that are getting automated out. Ordinary white, working class Americans who lost their factory jobs to China in the last recession. People who are voting for Trump.

These people should be allowed to make the trade-off between using their BI to live in the city and use public transit, or to live in a cheaper, more rural town and having a car. Similarly, they could choose between eating chicken for dinner every night, or eating ramen all week and splurging on a box wine on the weekend. BI lets adults do this. It's embarrassing to stand behind someone at the grocery store trying to buy a bottle of wine with EBT.

It's worth noting that BI does not, by itself, solve mental illness, drug addiction, medical emergencies, or fraud. However, a homeless person that receives BI could rent themselves a small apartment somewhere -- which could reduce the number of 911 calls that person causes as a homeless person, and in turn free up cost savings for e.g. a social worker visiting them at their new apartment.
> 1. Routine/preventative/minor care. Probably best dealt with as out-of-pocket costs.

This is a pretty terrible idea. Even programs in the current day that are trying to make consumers feel their healthcare costs (like HSAs and their required high-deductible PPO plans) often or always cover preventative care at 100%.

Preventative care is precisely the kind of care that people are most likely to skip to save on some money, and at the system-level this just means much more costly healthcare. Regardless of how you structure your healthcare system, increasing the cost of the actual care itself is a horrible idea.

the rich claim that the poor and homeless are lazy and by not being lazy they could have all the riches... yet most rich people were born rich, and most rich families have been the richest families for centuries. Furthermore I know many homeless people who work very hard for the little they get, while I know many rich people who sit on their Yachts all day, or take 6 week vacations every year. -- The rich are just as lazy as anyone who isn't rich if not MORE lazy because they CAN be lazy -- especially those who got wealthy by luck of birth.
Well, they aren't perfect.

But it doesn't mean that they don't work at all. You are dismissing them because they aren't working perfectly. And I am saying that it is wrong to dismiss something just because it isn't perfect, especially if there is no better alternative.

I'd argue that there's a resurgence in non-JS web sites due to server-side rendering. React and Ember both support this really well at this point. So, you'll actually get a non-JS view of your SPA then progressively enhance this with JS.
> Again, your outlook is toxic to newcomers.

I disagree.

> you should be capable of crafting that criticism in a way that isn't mean spirited and rude.

As I suggested, perhaps you could give some positive criticism of your own, and give your review. Not doing that means you're demanding I do something which you won't do.

This is not a trivial point. I'll bet that you'll find it difficult to craft a technical review which points out the flaws in his software, without anyone being able to claim it's being "mean and rude".

Try it. Please.

> I wish more projects and communities had code of conduct rules

That's nice. But I wish more projects had code of conduct rules on people asking questions. I've been doing open source for 20+ years. There is a large subset of people who don't read the documentation, don't ask good questions, who ignore all attempts to help them...

... but ...

their behavior is superficially polite. Until they get frustrated that "no one is helping them", and they start complaining that everyone is being mean to them.

That behavior is toxic, and I have no patience for it.

Yet strangely, I've yet to see a "code of conduct" which deals with this issue. It's open source... you shouldn't demand that other people help you, no matter how politely you make that request.

And (as with most such arguments I've had), I'll note that you're more offended by my comments than the author is. Such over-sensitivity seems to me "problematic". The author is an adult. He can clearly take criticism. Perhaps learning from his example would be good.

I've got a question for the BI fans that I haven't seen addressed before: The U.S. is a huge country, with wildly varying costs of living. Will a UBI be adjusted for regional costs, or will it be a simple flat rate?

I can see problems with both options; with the former you'd encourage people to stay in (or move to) more costly regions, and with the latter you'd either be paying someone in Salina Kansas above the median income as UBI, or you'd have people on UBI in Chicago, Oakland, and NY still unable to pay their rent.
> A lot of the people who are going to be on BI in the next ten years are adults who are in good mental health and perfectly capable of spending within a budget.

I would like to know the current % of people who live within a budget. The avg. cc debt is currently 15k - https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/credit-card-data/average-cre... - I don't think BI automatically grants financial literacy.
Krita has come a long way since I last looked at it. I had no idea it was still so actively developed. Super cool.

1. Codepen is front-end only, whereas hyperdev runs back-end code as well (node.js)

2. Codepen gives you 1 html, 1 css, and 1 js file per pen... hyperdev lets you have as many front-end and back-end files as you want. (Technically you can have multiple files in a codepen by linking to them, but it's not the primary use-case and is not as in-your-face as hyperdev is).

I'm disputing only your claim of causality: No one in Canada goes bankrupt due to medical bills; in the US, roughly 2 million people do a year

It's impossible to determine "#bankruptcies there would be absent medical causes", because it's impossible to determine a number that only exists in a counterfactual.

If you were correct that calculating counterfactuals is impossible, then the study in question would be trivially wrong. So would all claims of global warming (earth warmed relative to a counterfactual), all macroeconomic claims about alternate policy proposals (bigger stimulus would have been better), VAM for teacher evaluation, pollution impact studies, etc.

Exactly what realistically obtainable data could persuade you that medical bills contribute to financial instability and bankruptcy in the US?

I'd like a model that accurately predicts bankruptcy probabilities in people who had no "major medical cause" (i.e. medical expenses under $1001). Then I'd apply that model to people with major medical cause and compute #actual bankruptcies - #predicted bankruptcies for the group that did have medical expenses in excess of $1001. This is basic science.

You are right that causality is hard to measure. That doesn't mean we take a totally wrong quantity and pretend it's the right thing. We just admit ignorance.

Now your turn. What evidence (if any) would cause you to believe that taxes in excess of $1001 cause at least 90% of bankruptcies and that this is "too high" and "disgraceful"?
You won't see measurable inflation from such a small scale program.

"We think everyone should have enough money to meet their basic needs—no matter what, especially if there are enough resources to make it possible. We don’t yet know how it should look or how to pay for it, but basic income seems a promising way to do this."

The bit about "how to pay for it" is interesting considering that Uber, AirBnB and other companies that are known to not pay corporate taxes and exploit their workers have been funded by Ycombinator.

Maybe Ycombinator should fund a startup that manages to have companies pay workers a living wage and pay corporate taxes. That would be a nice contribution to the world economy.
> While that may be true, they fail to realize that they are in the extreme minority of actually-motivated people who would make a good use-case of basic income.

The ratio of people who will find themselves something to do vs. people who will just veg and watch TV is unknown. You don't know and I don't know. Making an assumption either way is asinine, which is why we need things like this study.

Personally, I think we should introduce a small BI, gradually raise it until we find the sweet spot, then tie it to appropriate economic metrics, such as or median supplemental income. Ideally, this would be paired with a gradual reduction in the minimum wage so that number of economically viable jobs for those "idle hands and minds".

I am open to other suggestion for "What do you do with all of those idle hands and minds?", but you don't provide any. The only other solution I can see is to outlaw or limit automation.

On Linux systems you'll see a mix of apt-get (debs), yum/zipper (rpm systems), emerge (gentoo/funtoo based systems), etc.

All of the ones I've mentioned have certificate based checking for the repository lists. They're verified when they sync. If you want to add a new repository, you typically have to import their key (don't think this is the case with Gentoo overlays in layman, but I'm not sure).

Most systems used signed packages too, or at a minimum they verify the SHA sums.

There have been exploits found and you can search through the bug trackers for each distribution to find them. If you find any new ones, most distros have bug bounty programs too.

There are probably some other exploits out there, but in general Linux package managers are pretty good about verifying package manifests and packages before installing them.
[1] Differs from normal population control in it's extreme application of reducing costs by any means.

As the saying goes, human desires are infinite whereas the resources necessary to fulfil them are finite.

In a market economy, desires are constrained by the value an individual is able to provide. Under a UBI, I guess they'll just be constrained by a politician's willingness to say "no" and the tax cattle's willingness to produce.

Many times companies can inflate revenues, or the revenue is very costly to acquire.

These are two examples, though I don't know enough about Simply Hired to say if they did either.

1) Companies with Ad Revenue quote the gross amount, rather than the net they keep. So let's say that someone spends a dollar on advertising. 60 cents may go to the website that hosted the ad, 10 cents to their software vendor, 20 cents to an exchange, and 10 cents to the buyer's website. Everyone counts this as a dollar of revenue, even though they're passing through most of the costs. This is most often seen in advertising or other reselling markets.

2) They spend $2000 in advertising to get a customer with a lifetime value of $1000. Sometimes this is a deliberate Ponzi scheme, other times it's done with honest intent. It can be very hard to predict lifetime customer value.
I nodded along with pretty much everything you said, so I think we're arguing different points but not necessarily disagreeing.

I agree, evolution's scale is colossal, but restrict your view to the tiny bit of the evolutionary machine that is implicated in figuring out how to arrange neurons (which evolution "discovered" previously, to be fair, with incredible effort) in a fashion that renders their behavior intelligent, and it becomes a vastly smaller effort.

These beings are all rather large, at least worm-sized or greater. Their lifecycles are measured in days to years, not minutes or hours. And they only had 250 million years or so to make the leap from "bunch of neurons hard-coded to do specific jobs" to "generally intelligent arrangement of neurons capable of higher level thought". All of this cuts the scale by at least 5-10 orders of magnitude compared to what you correctly point out as the overall colossal scale of evolutionary computation. And to me, it says that compared to all the other amazingly difficult stuff that evolution has discovered, intelligence was a damn easy find, especially since there's almost no fitness benefit - hell, worms probably do better than we do as far as evolutionary fitness goes, they're tiny, numerous, and reproduce like crazy.

My money is on the fact that human intelligence guiding a search cuts another couple orders of magnitude off of how much of a long-shot discovering an intelligent algorithm would be via a random search. I could definitely be wrong, it's very hard to be precise when you're vaguely arguing about orders of magnitude, but to me it doesn't seem like the algorithmic "magic" in the brain can possibly be very complex if evolution was able to get there, there just aren't many other circumstances where evolution stumbles on something that damn clever.
Interesting. Though it seems odd to scrap them when there are still two perfectly-workable shipping lanes that they'll fit through

> why can't a group of programmers just copy the design of Rails to Java? [...] as of now, there is still no decent web framework for Java that is as easy to use as Ruby on Rails. Why is that? [...] Well, simply, because they can't.

> pretty much all of the Ruby language features come into play in some way. Rail's ActiveRecords [...] Ruby's runtime evaluation features. [...] you subclass ApplicationController [...] importing various mixins [...] attaching a call back [...] Ruby is dynamically-typed and garbage-collected. These features are simply not available in all other languages. Java's meta-programming features, for example, are just not powerful enough to implement a system like ActiveRecords. Rails is only possible because of Ruby.

Groovy and Grails tried to duplicate Ruby and Rails, even having soundalike names. Unfortunately, after its founder was managed out, Groovy (nowadays called Apache Groovy) lost its way and tried to diversify down many roads (e.g. generics, command syntax for Gradle, static type compilation, targeting Android) instead of sticking to its knitting and becoming the best possible JVM dynamic language for software like Grails, even eventually became good at none of its goals. So although it's a no-brainer that Grails would become as popular for the JVM as Ruby became for native apps (heck, Grails even bundles Spring), because of the incompetent project management of Groovy (which doesn't even have a roadmap now), Grails adoption faltered.
I'm not sure I understand the pricing plan - limiting on pages tested seems like a bad way to get customers. I would plan on testing quite a few pages per site and testing those after each commit.
The article specifically addresses this:

"We want to run a large, long-term study to answer a few key questions: how people’s happiness, well-being, and financial health are affected by basic income, as well as how people might spend their time.

But before we do that, we’re going to start with a short-term pilot in Oakland. Our goal will be to prepare for the longer-term study by working on our methods--how to pay people, how to collect data, how to randomly choose a sample, etc."

That's not what the previous commenter was discussing. College/Universities have no incentive to lower the cost of tuition because everyone can get a loan for what ever they charge.

The idea being, the government has removed financial competition and there is no "best for your money" because many students can get a loan for where ever. The way to change this, is to obviously not enforce/have the law enforcing the payback of all student loans. This will dramatically drop attendance at outrageously price universities, forcing them to either drop tuition (or just take more out of country students).
Here in the US the taxes are much lower for a large portion of the country [1] so it probably doesn't come out so much in favor. Though long term health care is also more expensive here so it might all come out as even or similar enough.

It's not segmentation. It's effectively just one extra register usable only for address offsets.

Unfortunately, on x86, privilege transitions and exception handling is an incoherent mess, and, worse, privilege changes (via IRET) can fail. Most kernels messed up what happens when IRET fails for obscure reasons, resulting in corrupting the value of GSBASE and therefore allowing a malicious program to change the targets of certain kernel memory accesses.

The result was "BadIRET", which I discovered, fixed on Linux, and reported via CERT (not a good experience) to other vendors. Someone else named it, and a few other people wrote exploits based on it.
How exactly are they doing this without either violating the GPL or failing to keep their patches secret?
The problem with that is that it requires not treating people who are uninsured and unable to pay for care. "Sorry you got hit by a drunk driver, but we think that the risk is too great that you and the guy who hit you won't ever pay the $100,000 it would cost to fix you." That's pretty unpalatable.
This is addressed in the article:
