Most of the reports I've seen have stated that actually, it works the other way around. That the vast majority of people who go into entrepreneurship only do so if they have money to fall back on, one way or another, should their business fail. So by that logic, basic income should actually significantly increase the likelihood of entrepreneurship, because while mincome will still be low enough that people will want to work, it will be high enough to remove the barrier to entrepreneurship of: "but if this idea doesn't work out, I won't be able to eat"
Best advice I ever saw about dealing with recruiters, from someone on this site, though I don't remember who you are; sorry, internet-friend:

Hi $recruiter,
I appreciate you taking the time to reach
out about this opportunity. Luckily, I am
quite happy at $current_employer and not
currently pursuing other options. I do
have one question for you, though. Right
now, what would a typical salary range
look like for someone with my background
and level of experience for a position
like this?

Thanks,
greggyb

I'd say anecdotally that I get an answer more than half the time with a salary range, sometimes based on the position they're hiring for, and sometimes their ballpark based on my profile.

It's not scientific, but it is helpful to keep a pulse on the types of opportunities and compensation available.

I do know how WebTorrent works. The problem is that it creates a completely parallel network of nodes, which on the surface happen to exchange the same framing of messages, so:

- When WebTorrent runs on the standard bittorrent network from node, that doesn't change anything: it's still not available from the browser.

- When WebTorrent runs on the WebRTC network through instant.ion or anything else, it will only work if somebody else is also seeding the same torrent in their browser. Which they can only have in the browser if they first got it somewhere else. Oh and I'm willing to bet that none of the nodes who currently have the content (ie on the bittorrent network) also share it on the WebTorrent network.

I don't expect classic bittorrent peers to ever implement the mess that is WebRTC just to accommodate browsers, unfortunately.

I guess it makes a lot more sense to own an electric car in Europe, where gasoline prices are around 1,50 euro per liter, or $6,50/gallon, while electricity prices are around $0.20/kWh.

Still, recharging an electric car is still a lot more inconvenient than refueling a normal car.
A few other people have mentioned JavaScript and HTML but in my experience HTML and CSS support varies wildly between platforms and as applications become larger it is difficult to tune the performance of your running application. Also the implementation of the base code for HTML tags and what CSS properties can do are inaccessible to JavaScript making many task much harder than they would be in other environments where you can simply extend or introspect the internals.

But if you want something to run everywhere including web browsers, JavaScript is the only realistic option. So we make do. My current approach is to rely on HTML/CSS and React/React Native for the easy stuff and everything else is rendered in the Canvas tag with lots of JavaScript to bend the platforms into doing what you want.

In the past I have taken similar approaches by using things like Ejecta but the android support for this is lacking and now that WKWebView has addressed many of its issues, using standard WebViews within native containers is fast enough on mobile.

On desktop, Electron, NW or the other things like this can fulfill the same setup.

People will complain about performance which was a really big issues a few years ago but today the difference isn't large enough that it can't be worked around and most of the fear is in people heads. Most environments have web workers, and webgl, and JavaScript that has a JIT, and many new things like Web Assembly and SIMD should be available in the coming years making these platforms even more viable.
"We are doing a disservice to kids by assuming that they can't grasp industry-standard languages, complex computer science topics, and applications. By limiting them, we undermine their capabilities and stifle their creative and inventive potential."

I have felt this way for awhile with the direction some of these learn to code courses take with the younger kids. I think we sometimes forget just how quickly younger kids learn. They soak things up so much quicker than adults and even teens.

Last summer I ran a learn to program class for 8 to 12 year olds and it was a very interesting experience. We taught them how to program Minecraft mods in JavaScript. The biggest hurdle was critical thinking and trouble shooting.

We taught groups of 15 kids at a time and out of each group only 1 to 2 kids had the critical thinking/trouble shooting skills needed for programming. These kids were the ones that really excelled in the class and wanted to learn more. They couldn't get enough.

By making things too easy, I worry we are losing those 10% of kids that have the potential to be really great programmers. That 10% get bored with the drag and drop stuff and bail out if they are not challenged.

There isn't really an analogy here, it just seems like it.

The apparent similarity between these two is due to there being multiple trips in both -- across the river in one, and through the mail in the other. But the reason for the multiple trips are entirely dissimilar, and so the similarity is purely superficial.
This seems to be against redistribution, not basic income. Basic income is "how" of redistribution. "How much" part is very much orthogonal.

Are you okay as long as basic income does not increase amount of redistribution, or do you have some specific objection to basic income as a method of redistribution?
Alright John Gault. If we're talking nation level, your startup is not a 'tentpole.' How does your market cap compare to GE, Google, Amazon, Lockheed? Those are redwoods, and there are plenty of those. You're a maple sapling, there are plenty of those too. You're doing that thing where the middle class rebels against their own interests by positioning said interests as the interests of the working class, because they see themselves as soooo much more driven, and hardworking -- get real, plenty of people living in poverty with the same hustle as you, they just grew up on the other side of Toronto without access to the same resources. Basic income doesn't come off the backs of small business, and that is a silly reason to be so afraid of it.
It's difficult enough (maybe impossible) to get a large chunk of the electorate to educate themselves about the issues once every 2, 4, or 6 years. You expect them to stay constantly up-to-date rather than choosing rational irrationality[1]?

Exxon is probably pushing this because it will help their business.

The #1 "victim" of a carbon tax is coal, which accounts for about 30% of our energy production. A carbon tax will redistribute this production to other sources, mainly natural gas (which emits 42% less carbon). Exxon does a lot of natural gas extraction, and virtually nothing with coal.

Exxon is also working on carbon sequestration technology.
Which becomes a much more profitable business if there is a real carbon tax.

And as far as oil goes - a carbon tax has comparatively little effect on gas prices. $30/ton would be about 27 cents per gallon [1].

"If we’re interested in social policies that are resilient I think the dignity problem, or the moral aspects of these policies are worth considering more closely."

I certainly agree the moral aspects are worth considering. No matter how you arrange your basic income scheme (and the tax system to support it), it's going to split the population into two groups: those who are net recipients of government money, and those who are net contributors.

Don't let basic income advocates evade the question of who pays for their utopian scheme.

The current welfare systems are a messy parcel of compromises, but they at least acknowledge that people have to demonstrate need to be the recipients of government handouts. Once you establish that people have a permanent, inalienable right to an income, you imply that others are obligated to provide them with that income.

That's what I was thinking. Nevermind not having things like bit shifting, python can't even run on most micros, because there's no interpreter for them. Micro-python is a thing that exists, but hasn't expanded yet and is probably a long way off.

Honestly, if we're talking about replacing C / C++, it would seem we should be comparing them to Rust or something, not a language whose use model isn't really intended for embedded systems.

I love Python, but this just doesn't seem like the place for it.

And by embedded, he probably meant Raspberry Pis running Debian or something like that.

My guess is that the hash_map of the original STL had that iterator guarantees. While hash_map wasn't standardized, it was de-facto available on many standard libraries. When the committee standardized unordered_map, they tried to make it as much of a drop-in replacement for hash_map as they could and subtly different invalidation rules would have been extremely hard to catch.
Yeah, they memorize their own random ordering. Alphabetic is risky because the warden might guess that strategy and purposefully set up the boxes so it doesn't work.
I think there was a bit on NPR a few months ago that discussed the idea that having a fallback will make you work and try less exactly for the same reason. I think having the "cornered animal" type of drive goes a long way.
Sorry, but this is the same argument we see time and time again against higher taxes (not just Mincome). We saw it in 2008 with "Joe the Plumber".

Some entrepreneurs are driven by maximizing profit margins and some aren't. If your opinion was widely shared, there would be almost no entrepreneurial success stories in countries with a much more socialist approach than even Canada (e.g. throughout Europe). I am a Canadian entrepreneur too, but I love this country and that has to do with a lot more than just how much tax I pay. If they were to raise taxes for good reasons, it wouldn't cause me to uproot my family and leave.
It's hard for me to imagine the government being simultaneously too incompetent to spend tax money sensibly but competent enough to direct an effective lottery based affordable housing program.

If you suppose that the government can't spend taxes wisely, then you seemingly must also suppose that any alternative affordable housing program would be run into the ground by the same incompetents.
Two points -- one, that's outside of the problem statement, so no, you can't use cryptography. Two, public-key cryptography uses an exact analogy of the physical-world method, so if you have access to a cryptographic solution you've already solved the problem.
That's cute. I'll post the same thing I post every time some non-US reader mentions how _their_ polity votes just fine with paper.

* Federal Senator

* Federal House representative

* State Governor

* State Secretary of State

* State Senator

* State House representative

* Mayor

* City Council (slate)

* Sheriff

* State corporation commission (slate)

* Judges (slate)

* 5 or 6 ballot initiatives

* 1 or 2 local initiatives (i.e. school funding bond overrides or the like)

I am attempting to argue for shades of grey; the American and Russian media narratives evoke a polarized situation.

In that manner of thinking, I think it's fair to question the messenger who brings accusations of wrongdoing during a politically sensitive time. That is to say, this reporting came at a serendipitously good time for certain politicians.

That everyone does it doesn't mean that everyone does it to the same extent, or with the same impact, or that doing it is at all justifiable.

One assumption not explicitly explained is that the prisoners can identify the boxes by their order, since they are arranged in a line. So, the prisoners first agree among themselves that box number x should correspond to which prisoner, and vice versa. So now, each box contains a name, which points to another box at a certain position, which contains another name, ad infinitum, until the prisoner finds his name. It is guaranteed that he will, because of the relationship between permutations and cycles.

It is interesting that this question is regarded as the most math intensive. I myself was spoiled the solution a few years ago, but I have the impression that the challenge is in observing the correct algorithm rather than calculating the probability. Maybe the author felt that one needs mathematical insights in order to see the solution out of the blue.
It'a amazing that more than half of those are in the BC era.

> Ukraine situation is way more complicated than Putin simply annexing it.

Look, it's Europe. Everyone here has a history with everyone here.

Russian annexation of Ukrainian territory, in violation of every possible treaty and its own constitution, is not a matter of opinion. It's also first in Europe since WW2.
Military actions of aggression should be condemned, regardless of whether we call it a war.

Russia annexing Crimea was one such action. The entire American operation in Iraq is another.

Russia and the USA are more alike then their populations are comfortable admitting. Oligarchies cynically masquerading as democracies.

I think the philosophy of a basic income scheme is to acknowledge that we all have need of support from the government (which ultimately means, from each other) to some degree or another. No demonstration necessary.
You mail out postcards to registered voters with their asymmetric private key obscured by an opaque scratch-off covering, and a plainly visible public key. If the scratch-off is not intact, the voter requests another via website form, or shows up in person at an office in the county seat. The registration office revokes the key pair for the original card and issues another.

This key is the voter's identity-linked private key.

The registration office then sends a list of public keys without any identifying information information to the ballot office, who encrypts a separate anonymous blockchain key with each public key, and publishes the entire list of results paired with the hash of the blockchain key.

The voter then attempts to decrypt each entry with their private key, and then hash the result. When the hash matches, that is the voter's anonymous blockchain key. Each voter has to make, at most, a number of attempts equal to the number of registered voters in their district before finding their own key.

The ballot office can verify that each blockchain key for that election belongs to a registered voter, but cannot say which one. The registration office can verify that each registered voter has a blockchain key available (by counting), but cannot even tell who bothered to decrypt their key and vote with it, much less what anyone in particular voted for.
