> BI is usually presented as a right now improvement

Not as far as I've seen, and not in this article this discussions about, or any of the articles it subsequently links to in it's body.

" Although basic income seems fiscally challenging today, in a world where technology replaces existing jobs and basic income becomes necessary, technological improvements should generate an abundance of resources and the cost of living should fall dramatically."

That is what I am questioning: what most view as an inevitability and BI is solution for.

I am happy to read BI articles about solving the current socioeconomic problems. The few I have read all make this "automated utopia" assumption. I read exactly one that talks about implementing it with today's constraints.
You can probably get even more correlation if you account for "l33tspeak" i.e. swapping letters for numbers that look like them.

Like I say, I'm not disagreeing with the idea that "we will disrupt" on its own is no more use as a business case than "we will make wads of cash".

What I am questioning is the idea that there's only one way to disrupt an industry - to be cheaper and in some way subpar compared to the incumbent. You seem to be suggesting that the taxi industry hasn't been disrupted by Uber, because it doesn't align with one person's definition of what disruption looks like. And I don't really understand that. There's clearly been huge disruption there.
Heh, I live in Seattle. Not only do I have the Cascades within reach, I have the Puget Sound, and a lack of Phoenix heat. And it's not super suburban.
I think what the author was trying to say is that every person is the wrong person to marry if you judge them by your expectations of what they should bring to the relationship.
I think weekly would probably be ideal.

In a few years, we could even make it daily so it's as close to a continuous stream as possible.
> tackling the problem differently in a way that their competitors can't imitate easily without sacrificing their assets

That isn't enough. You have to tackle the problem differently in a way that matters to the market. It has to show up somewhere, in terms of price, features, or quality.
According to Google, the average human male foot is 26.3 cm, or 0.86 feet. So I suppose I am literally 7 feet fall.
Currently under the PPACA you cannot be denied insurance for prexisting conditions, and it is reasonable to expect pegging UBI to just poverty + cost of bronze single person plan in your area rather than implementing universal healthcare.

Not trying to argue it isn't cheaper to cut out the insane middle men in the healthcare industry, or that the current insurance system works at all (deductibles cost society incredible amounts of money and time because people won't go to the doctor until they are dying because of the unsubsidized costs) but if your goal is to have everyone insured, fed, and sheltered you can do that with just the cash payments while just enduring a disastrously inefficient and harmful healthcare system besides it.

> It's better to be single than to marry the wrong person

For some people. The path you like is not necessarily optimal for me.

Many marriages survive on companionship and familiarity.

My great grandparents were married for almost 90 years (Indian arranged kid marriage) and they were both centenarians. They seemed happy enough (but how could I tell as a kid). Maybe some of the things they lived through (e.g. two wars) seemed like bigger deals than the (inevitable) conflicts in their marriage?

Setting up shop directly next to your competitor is the best choice, i.e., Nash equilibrium. That's why all the gas stations and coffee shops cluster up instead of spreading out.

For example, on a beach, you should expect 2 ice cream vendors to cluster in the exact middle rather than move closer to their respective territories. This video explains it perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jILgxeNBK_8

Or date them. Or live with them.
I have had a couple of runs at venture financing and the terms in Silicon Valley can be pretty onerous, especially if you don't have a lot of cash and revenues less than $10M per annum. Silicon Valley Bank for example effectively won't loan you money you don't already have in your balance with them.

This can be a disillusioning experience but if you flip it around the bankers providing the financing don't get anywhere near as much upside as a traditional VC. Their caution is understandable.

I remember the age when mobile phones did not cause cancer. It was just day ago. The news pounded the general public so hard that even telecomunications students did not believe that high power telco equipment can have effect on biological organisms. :-D some of them even found it ridicilous as an idea and mocked others who believed so like they are supersitious :-D
Really, this shouldn't come as a surprise. At this point, pre-loaded systems just aren't worth trusting. Better to remove them entirely and start from square one. It's a pain, but until consumers put more pressure on manufacturers, it'll continue being an issue. I'd honestly like to see MS force clean installs, limited only to driver's as an option, as this bloatware is just a huge security flaw, and something that lessens the machine.

Note: That point in the article isn't stating the author's views. It's stating a somewhat modern trend in marriage. Marriage by feeling, not by reason (the author's description of two modes of deciding whom to marry).

The author even goes on to say why there are problems with this mode and suggests a different one, one based on pessimism.
I think the current version of that is http://www.thebookoflife.org/how-we-end-up-marrying-the-wron... but I'm a little unsure about the authorship history now.

Edit: I agree with TACIXAT that both of these were written by Alain de Botton; the confusion came about because the older versions were unsigned, so it's easy to worry that the newer version could have been plagiarized. There's also a norm of revealing the publication history of your own stuff when you rework or republish it, so maybe the Times should have said "A version of this essay appeared in The Philosopher's Mail and appears in The Book of Life" to avoid any ambiguity.

I'm living in Las Vegas right now, but Phoenix is one of my favorite cities. For me, the benefits include the low cost of living, the low stress traveling by car and public transportation, and a diverse nightlife.

I grew up in NJ and I prefer 110 with low humidity over 85 and high humidity. The summer heat is tough mid-day, but the mornings and nights are really nice. I lived in PHX the most recent winter and had no complaints, and fall and spring are beautiful.

I'm not convinced yet Phoenix is the best city for a startup, but it does depend on the type of business you're getting into. I think Phoenix is a great city if you want to grow your company and expand operations with a new office.

The demographic is unique in Phoenix, and it's still hard for me to understand why people think differently. I find it amazing how different the demographic is than Las Vegas, which is also a desert and only 4.5 hours away. I really like the suburbs of Las Vegas, but I would move to Phoenix again if I was involved in a meaningful project.

People who can't manage their own finances also tend to do badly at acquiring program support when aid comes in other forms too. However, it might be an improvement in overall effectiveness for charities to operate in models which charge part of the money from a basic income stream to administer aid (it greatly simplifies effort for charities which would normally have to devote a lot of attention to just getting together funding).

On the other hand, being able to 'sign over' a portion of one's basic income might open up all sorts of other abuses. (e.g. some sort of payday loan company that says, sign over your Basic Income for a year and I'll give you a lump sum right now...)
I visited the Scottsdale area on vacation a few months ago and despite the pleasant weather, the complete lack of pedestrians was amazing.

There were these nice, big sidewalks but NOBODY was using them. I walked a few miles a day and passed less than 10 total pedestrians. There were quite a few joggers and bicyclists though.

One passenger on a shared airport shuttle asked the driver to go out of his way to drop him off directly in front of his door to avoid having to walk about 50 feet.

I was just floored by the whole experience.
> but I wish they'd included a coin cell holder.

I've seen a few reports online* mentioning this was specifically removed. Given the target market (11 year olds, many of whom are likely to have younger siblings) exposed coin cell batteries are a potential risk the BBC had to consider and chose to avoid. I do wonder what the cost of a basic plastic case would be.

"Pay up, Mortimer, I won the bet."

"Here. One Dollar"

From the vantage point I have in my union job and my part time job at a very large retailer with low wage hourly workers, there is no way rich people give away their money. At least without wanting something in return. That point is rock solid and not changeable. You don't get something for nuttin.

Having some that get BI and some not in a community will create a BIpolar environment. Real emotions exist.. I can only imagine when couple A gets 5 years worth of money and single person B living down the road does not. Or Whatever. There has to be some catch.

But this is real and not Trading Places. I wonder what the bet is and I wonder what the dollar will be?
I didn't leave it out because UBI isn't means tested or income based.
I would lean towards the "tough shit" method. Although, if it was paid bi-monthly they would only be screwed for 2 weeks. Not long enough to realistically have any life threatening consequences. They would learn pretty quick. Maybe even do weekly.
Poverty can also cause mental illness. There are plenty of studies on how children raised poor and hungry have developmental issues both physically and mentally, and how even adults who transition into poverty can become trapped in it and have their thought patterns altered through it.

I think interpersonal relationships is one of the places where it matters most to have expectations and standards. There will be trade-offs, but at the end of the day you need to be able to add to someone's life and vice versa. This whole low/no expectations thing can keep people in some pretty toxic situations. And if you have expectations, you also need to be able to extend yourself to meet the expectations of others. Its give and take.
If you get all your money at once you can always have a buffer for these unexpected things. You also have more freedom to waste it all at once, but I don't believe most poor families are really that wasteful. It's just hard to get by. If you get your monthly check divided up, you can't first resolve the situation and then figure out how to deal with it financially. You have to wait. 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 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.
A short, practical, quiz: figure out where you stand on copyright
Isn't this the sort of thing the CSS descriptor unicode-range is supposed to solve?

In icon fonts I've used, the icons are always in the Private Use code block (eg: font awesome uses U+F000-F2B4), so if the unicode-range in the replacement font is set correctly (say U+0000-DFFF), it will not clobber the icon fonts, letting the designers have their spiffy icons without having to do the annoying large image file/sprites pattern.

The best part of using unicode-range is that it does not impact accessibility and most sites should use unicode-range correctly anyways, as it can save download time for the users by not forcing them to download the parts of the font for different languages (dev must split languages into different files though as the browser can't only download the code-points covered by unicode range). Even if a site does not use unicode-range, you can still use it to only overlay the part of the font you care about (the readable characters).

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face/... for details and an example of what unicode-range can do.
While this can be true it's also common to have "assuming X is true" where X is some very complicated hypothesis.

We saw this with Fermat's Last Theorem and it was with a great sigh of relief that it was finally proven in the 90s. If the inverse was true then entire fields of Mathematics would have collapsed.

That's not what you said though.

What you said would make almost all tax avoidance into tax evasion. Hell, even claiming deductions would by your logic be tax evasion.

That line is speaking at a different level than your response.

The point - which the article goes on to elaborate on in the next few paragraphs - is that happiness is a choice, not a consequence. Every person is going to have flaws, and they will have little quirks that drive you nuts. Whether the relationship succeeds or not depends on how you react to those flaws. Do disagreements spiral out of control, with each person getting angrier and taking it out on their partner, making them angrier in turn? Or do they melt away with a decision to compromise and accept reality?

The article's point is that you should own your emotions instead of letting them own you. The example they start with is two people who do whatever their emotions tell them to without thought of the consequences. The example they end with is two people who understand their emotions but also understand that they don't have to react to their first impulse.
PROTIP:

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

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.

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

I decided I should marry my wife following 6 months of hard travel through South America. I figured if we passed that test, we could handle pretty much anything.

EDIT: Appreciate all the comments. I have actually been married now for 10 years and have 3 kids. So while its true that the "Test" I am describing cannot mimic the tough slog of real-life, how exactly do you propose to mimic the difficulty of raising kids? If I were to speak to my 20 something self I would still recommend a difficult trip is an easy way to see how easily your relationship will come apart under stress, mainly because you are coming up against unknown/uncomfortable situations and factors.
Here's the commit to the .NET coreclr repo: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/commit/720732501f1d844d194...
Something that is always surprising me when visiting the US, as a Scandinavian, is how many employees there are in a given shop (or coffee bar :). I don't think a Starbucks/shops/coffee bars needs as many people to operate as there often (in my experience) are in the US (at least in the 10 different cities/places or so I have been to on the east & west-coast/mid-west).

Assuming Scandi baristas are about as efficient as their colleagues over the pond, it is probably the time to complete a coffee-transaction that suffers, though, as with software development, I am not sure if throwing more people at the problem necessarily solves it quicker.

As an example, I remember one time, when I was waiting for a coffee (in the US) and there were no less than 5 employees more or less just hanging out discussing something more important than making my flat-white-double-soy-extra-machiato-caramel-coffee-like-beverage (which I could mean sarcastically, but I don't since I was waiting for a flight and not in a particular hurry) for a pretty good amount of time.

I suppose you could arrest me on this being my own experience (and you wouldn't be wrong), but I am feel confident that there must be some numbers that back them up because the difference is so flaggerant.

Apparently unemployment rates are as high or higher in Sweden for example, so there should be as high a demand for jobs at Starbucks here (in the case profits suffers from this). Intuitively I think that you'd rather hold off, take the well-fare and wait/prepare for a good job than taking one at Starbucks if you got a (good) education. This in turn (again my hypothesis), has made it the norm for that relative extra minute (or whatever) for coffees in Scandinavia, thus that job (as barista number 5) doesn't exist here at all. The price of a barista would also be higher, because it is harder to fill those positions. Which also makes changes the margins on how much more sales the barista number 5 would need generate for it to be profitable.

In any case, finally, commenting on the comment above :) I think that, in some places, many of those jobs do not exist (anymore) and it is still pretty OK to live here...
> I don't know anybody who works full-time in software security who thinks HttpOnly is a meaningful defense, but, if you're out there, chime in and make a case for it. :)

I'd say a case can be made for it with certain very specific preconditions, with the most obvious being for applications where session tokens persist for convenience, perhaps inordinately so. I agree that at least within that browsing instance, you're dead in the water, but it would still be worse if an attacker gains persistent session access on platforms which handle re-authentication in a manner similar to this: https://github.com/reddit/reddit/blob/1619fe1cc138aad3d9c6bc...

(I got credited[1] for that gem two and a half years ago. It looks like the faulty logic is technically still there[2], but I haven't checked at all to see if they've mitigated it further. Their partial mitigation after my constant harassment was to actually implement site-wide HTTPS/HSTS and implement session token blacklisting since their session management logic needs much more work, but I can't find the latter feature in production anymore.)

> As amazing and insane as it sounds, what Hume shows us is that we cannot even assume human continued existence is necessary to reason

I'm losing you from this point on. Could you elaborate? Because to me it sounds pretty much right on the money that reason is basically necessitated by our existence.

It's a layer on top of an experienced reality that may or may not be Objective in nature, whatever that would mean exactly, and without us, or other creatures capable of 'constructing' this layer, it doesn't really exist.
The HSTS preload list (referring primarily to Chrome's, which is also included by other vendors) in particular is something I find really strange. The current domain owner adds the domain to the HSTS preload list. That domain then expires or is released by that owner, without them requesting its removal from the preload list. Then someone else buys the domain without having planned to use SSL/TLS.

The result? Weeks, even months, of not being able to use the domain without encryption, all because someone else previously had the domain added to the HSTS preload list. Removal from the preload list is by request only; there is no automation in place to detect the lack of an HSTS header to mean that the domain is no longer to be considered a participant. Even worse, the request to be removed can take an indeterminate amount of time to be disseminated to end users of the browser. The preload list is not pushed to clients via something like a daily digest; the list is hardcoded into releases of the browser. This means it can take an absurd length of time to see a domain removed from the list, as it depends on every individual user updating the browser to the latest version, and only once the vendor even gets around to updating the hardcoded list in a given release to include your domain's removal.

How such a mechanism was ever acceptable is beyond me. Domain ownership is technically fluid, and yet the implementation was designed in such a way as to assume that domain ownership never changes.

They're not explicitly eligible, but rather implicitly eligible, because of the tax increase on the top end to cancel out the $10k they don't need and to pay for any gap that still needs closing after we redirect money from existing systems.

The people who as a result of this policy and the taxes net money is small, and that is the real cost. Not $3T which is a bald faced lie.
