> There is no reason the U.S. should be allies with the House of Saud.

There is a very good reason:

1) The US needs a stable oil supply

2) The US needs global stability, for which the world needs a stable oil supply.

3) A stable oil supply requires a stable Persian Gulf region.

4) Leverage and influence with the most powerful nation in the Persian Gulf (with the possible exception of Iran, an enemy of the U.S.), is very valuable and perhaps necessary to stability in the Persian Gulf.

That arrangement worked for decades, and look what's happening now that it fell apart.

Recently things have changed a little: The US has become less dependent on Persian Gulf oil due to domestic supplies; there is/was a global glut of oil, making the world less dependent on the Gulf; US-Iran relations improved somewhat; and Saudi religious fundamentalism has gone from being their internal problem to a global problem.

Also, US policy changed: The US became a cause of instability in the Persian Gulf with the invasion of Iraq and the reckless disregard for the need to find a stable, political outcome for that country (no planning for occupation, etc.). Also, the Arab Spring created a dilemma: Support democracy or support short/medium-term stability? At times the US chose democracy, further undermining current stability (democracies would of course be more stable in the long run, but getting from here to there involves a period of instability).

I use a different model than everyone else which I think gives insight on this. I split jobs into 3 categories (simplified here to make it easy to understand):

1) jobs that mostly create economic value (doctors, farmers, programmers): the percentage of these jobs is already small and keeps decreasing with technology.

2) jobs that mostly transfer economic value (marketers, lawyers): these jobs keep increasing. (Note: I'm not saying marketing and law doesn't create value but more marketers and lawyers mostly means more value transfers rather than more value)

3) jobs that arbitrage time and money (executive assistant, cleaning person): I call these arbitrage because the dollar value of time varies between individuals varies and so they trade time and both win economically. These jobs likely grow with inequality.

In a future where wealth is concentrated and more jobs are automated, job types 2 and 3 most likely grow, not shrink. That's what happened because of past technological progress and I don't see a reason to think it will happen any differently this time. In fact, I expect this to happen even more this time.

I'm not saying this is a great outcome. In fact, I think this is an argument for basic income. But I don't think jobs are going to disappear anytime soon.
Amusing, but if you add up an infinite number of infinitely small quantities what do you get?
RISC-V is indeed what I thought, but hasn't MIPS also been free (enough) and open for at least a decade? You'd think that on licencing alone that'd be enough for a replacement in new products.

Edit: I am mistaken, it seems that though MIPS is used in all sorts of things that I'd expect wanted the cheapest possible CPU core it has only become free for academic use. I wonder how common that mis-conception is for those not active in the space?
You mention rent. Something I'm confused about BI is that it doesn't seem to account for regional prices - 8k for housing goes a lot further in Newark than it does in Manhattan, and when you start comparing different regions the differences are probably even greater

So is this basically "pure" communism? I guess historically, countries we called communistic didn't really adhere to its central idea; or they couldn't do so practically due to the accompanied political/economic instability following regime change.
If you are really serious about Basic Income, I strongly encourage you to look at the Kollel system within the ultra-orthodox/yeshiva communities (i.e. Lakewood, NJ)

While their model is conditional, the framework for providing a stipend to cover basic necessities so the kollel members are free to study, is very similar.

You will see a glimpse of what happens. There is amazing achievement, and there is abuse of the system. There are unparalleled social services powered by the community (i.e. hundreds of lending "GMach's" which lend and share everything from baby strollers to expensive fertility meds.)

If you want a glimpse into how Basic Income will work, looking at the full spectrum of Lakewood New Jersey would be eye opening.

You will see some of the most amazing examples of selflessness and accomplishment and you will see outrageous abuse of the system.

All in All, people will be people and the only solution that is sustainable is focusing on solving for the cause, not subsidizing the effect.

For all the kollel stipends that are paid out, ultimately, peoples true nature wins out. The only thing we can do is work to improve that nature.

Better People make a better world, not better circumstances.

(for what its worth, I am a fan of the idea of basic income, after all...if people will be people, than lets at least make sure no one has to suffer from starvation or homelessness.)
The Paradox of Meritocracy – In Tech
I think it becomes even more clear; when children living in poverty are living in a society where their basic needs are sufficiently provided for, you take away a great deal of the social stigma associated with engaging child protective services.

If a parent can't function when the basics are provided, then teachers, neighbours, and family members will be less inclined to use the excuse "but times are tough, and that person is trying hard to be a good parent".

IDK - I am inclined to think, having come from a broken home and having done community service for shoplifting food for me and my brother, if $parent (father in my case) can't get their shit together, the children would have been better off without them.
You are wrong in that it's only a matter of 'unfriend/unfollow/block them' - that is only a solution for people who might get one or two harassers, but there are people who just get bombarded with it - just look at the gamer gate thing to see a prominent example.
Facebook considers videos viewed after 3 seconds, and YouTube after 30. Instagram after 3, but it counts unique users and not views. Twitter is when someone clicks, and Vine is when someone finishes one loop of the video.

Call it vagrancy, it sounds more romantic :-) I've been doing the travel and vagrancy thing for a few years and it's a very different experience having owned and lived in the same house for 15 years before that. And it's very valid to question which is better and realize that mainly they're just different, and also it can be viewed as a continuum, rather than succumbing to binary logic and the ensuing value judgment.

The barrier to entry is money, whether savings or income. I rather like the moment the fictional Sam Clemens just starts grokking the concept of Star Trek economics and decides it might be worth giving up cigars for.

SaltConf 2016 Talk: Salt for Event-Driven Continuous Integration
> You'll find there are two voices for BI, the liberal and the liberatian.

Actually, I think the two main groups are both libertarian, though there's a left-libertarian and a right-libertarian viewpoint, with the libertarians that aren't strongly left- or right- splitting between them.

I personally prefer keeping the existing means-tested programs but counting UBI as income when considering eligibility, such that with growing UBI [0] you eventually reach the point where the income floor is above the eligibility level for the means-tested programs, allowing them to be discontinued.

[0] I also prefer basically tying UBI to a tax stream that should grow with economic growth, with mechanisms to provide reserves so that you don't have UBI drop with cyclical recessions.
I would be down with Basic Income if we implement it as part of the Fair Tax. The Fair Tax provided basic Income before it was cool. Everyone gets a "prebate" every month to offset the cost of sales tax for basic goods and services. Also means people can buy any used goods for no tax not only helping the poor, but creating a bigger market for smaller shops to sell local used goods to compete with the big retailers.
50,000 years ago we had a dramatically shorter average life span than today. Are you saying that improvements that cause us to not die are luxuries?
Of course there will always be people who cannot work. But the point is, BI is a basic income for anyone. No strings attached, Here's OPM, even for people who could make a living without BI. Strikes me as a waste of taxpayer's money?
All payment social services, but not those that are doing enforcement activities. Replacing college loans, food stamps, welfare, etc. will save quite enough particularly if you pair it with actual fraud prosecution and verifying identity.

True but there's a lot of benefits that BI proponents (and I personally) believe will happen that will show up in subsequent generations like closing the educational attainment gap between the poor and everyone else. Also there's the question of if it's sustainable in case the fears of it just making everyone drop out of the work force are true. [1]

[1] Though from the same people you'll hear that work provides so much meaning to life that if people aren't working because they can live without it that they'll just be miserable. Which seems to contradict itself, either work is so meaningful that without we're miserable so we'll work even if we don't have to. Or it's not that meaningful and we'll be fine without it.
This has happened in a small country. Cuba.

Everyone basically gets the same small amount of money. What has happened? People desperately want to work and earn extra money. Some people can and do survive on just what they get from the government. Still, everyone has a hide hustle to earn a little more and live better.

I'm pretty sure I understand your point, but you're going about it in a way that makes it hard to have a useful conversation. You've essentially said "online advertising is bad, because I say so, and these companies are big and they do it, so you should be worried about them."

Is all advertising bad? What makes advertising bad? To what degree do these companies participate in that behavior?

Is all lobbying bad? Should we assume them lobbying is bad because it exists? Is the total dollars spent lobbying the right value to look at? Perhaps lobbying dollars per revenue, pre profit, or per employee is a more important metric?

I would love to discuss any one of these topics, but your comment is too vague on any details to be able to start from any useful point, so I've resorted to asking for clarification.

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).

Fully private provision of insurance for any events that follow a non-normal distribution (as most, but not all healthcare costs do) simply does not work, has never worked and will never work.
I posted a comment with a link to a NYT article that mentions subsidizing jobs.

I do wonder though -- if the government subsidizes jobs by $X/hr, what incentive is there for companies to not just reduce their contribution by the same amount (so the net to the employee is the same)?
I think the idea is that there would be so much housing and food that there would be no way to compete (without the necessary manufacturing capital if/when BI becomes law) in the lower end market because the supply is so high.
Hacking my office Indy 500 pool: exploiting arbitrage in an inefficient market
>It's almost inevitably that there'll then be the "food security" fund, and the "housing guarantee" fund

Seems like basic income allows for this issue to be resolved by private organizations easier since cash is much more liquid than welfare/other government benefits.

So basically what I'm getting at, is if you can't manage your own life, there will be a corporation that provides shelter, food, and basic necessities for you in exchange for 100% of your BI (cue comparisons with the for-profit prison industry).

Those that are unfit for even this model (their special needs require more service than their BI can possibly cover) would be a small minority (assuming BI could cover basic but adequate care for the majority of the elderly) and I suspect they would need to be institutionalized if there were no family or charity organizations that could support them.

Well that's my off-the-cuff zero-research opinion anyways.
Lack of BI is immoral: why should anyone have to work harder than they need to?
That is what HTTPOnly is intended for: if the client-side code doesn't need to know the value then it shouldn't see the value. It doesn't make a lot of difference, but it make some difference worth having (security in depth, and all that) by blocking session stealing by malicious code that is somehow injected into your application's client-side payload.

Of course the value is still sent over the wire so is vulnerable to MiTM attacks that are not otherwise mitigated.

I can't think of a benefit off the top of my head for having a second token that is accessible client-side, presumably that is something application specific. Perhaps there is a short-cut to getting a new session token after server-side session expiry (or the user accidentally closing their browser) which can only be used in the presence of a valid client-side token (though shortcuts like that are security holes waiting to happen IMO).
Well, to be fair! the page does say this immediately above the matrix - "The following toolchains and processors are supported out-of-the-box"

Regarding ARM64, it's something I want very much. I will finally have time for it now 7.1.0 is out. I Googled a bit just the other day and there are Pi-like ARM64 dev boards out there now, so I'm going to get one.

It's a laudable goal, but giving a bunch of (mostly) naive, uneducated kids a lump sum of cash is a recipe for disaster. There would instantly be an industry focused on parting them from that money, one that would be extremely profitable and mostly not related to education.

That's the crux of the question. It might turn out that you were in a pocket of the poorest decision makers around, and that most people will do a lot better than they did.

Hey guys, my name is Imelda Daher from Philippines but reside in America i am very happy that i was able to be online last week when Janet posted on YouTube that she has finally gotten what she wanted for her marriage life after all the stress she went through trying to hack into our husbands phone herself.. So after that I decided to try and see if it’s gonna work or still the same thing I see online everyday so I contacted Michael as i was referred to by Janet to his email which I did and got his direct telephone number as well too and believe me he did a good job for me that I was shocked when I got the information I needed that my dear husband for 10 year of marriage has a baby mama in Sweden. thanks to Michael Lawson for this great job even if it’s gonna break my home its better than been fooled for the rest of my life. lawsonmichael33@yahoo.com by Janet and he did a good and fast job for me in less than 48hrs...he made available phone hack, chat histories, present chats and future chats...You can also contact him for all sorts of mobile hacking jobs like he told me. Good luck to everyone who really wanna work with him and put a stop to the entire nightmare.
Yours is a good additional idea, but it is in no way a substitute. You might want to look at some history you forgot to log. Having intentional logging on top of comprehensive logging is like markup metadata, very handy too.

Evangelical Christianity is a fantastic example of the slippery slope these sorts of actions create. I doubt anyone here would say most evangelical churches violate the legal ideals of free speech, but they've been extremely vigilant in maintaining group think on many controversial topics and anyone who goes against the group ideals is immediately shunned and treated as "other". This has created a feedback loop where they are now so far detached from mainstream Christianity* many are trying to classify it as it's own sect and in some cases it's own religion. Thus there has been practically no progress in evangelical theology within the past 20 years (Revelations fear mongering not withstanding), and as a result has lead to some seriously unscientific beliefs (that aren't even compatible with their own faith!) and severely detrimental societal interactions with the greater world.

Extremely interesting to find those who look upon those same Evangelicals with contempt and hatred are following the exact same path.
