Well they're doing it for 2000 people, so I would assume this is more of a test to see what behaviour jobless people exhibit when given a basic income. They're not rolling this out nation-wide yet. I'm all in favour of UBI because I believe there simply won't be enough work for everyone. But I can understand running a study first to test the waters. 2000 people sounds like a good number too. It's expensive, but if things continue in the way that they're trending, then it's a necessary expense.
Quanta Magazine has also a good reputation among many theoretical physicists including myself. They of course do suffer from the occasional misconception, but as a whole the accuracy of their reporting is leaps and bounds above many other popular science sites or blogs.
Breaking News: Secret-service agency venturing into census statistics
That projected amount is assuming they don't restrict how much they print, right?

I don't see how all of the following could be true at the same time: 1. The inflation is caused by the printing of more money. 2. Printing enough money to inflate the supply less than 5% per month. 3. Costs increasing more than 5% per month.
We've been bootstrapping (successfully) for a few years now and so far almost every instance of using a freelancer failed (some more miserable than other) and cost us money and time.

We're in a unique situation where we outsourced for lack of time and not skill, which is a double edged sword...

My two cents - if you can do it then do it. If you can't, and can't learn fast enough, then try to freelance it.
"Fake news" is potentially the most blatant propaganda campaign I've seen in the last few years. It is a very transparent effort by large, established media groups to claim a monopoly on the dissemination of truth, and the campaign has thus far been frighteningly successful, as indicated by the OP.

There's also a bit of a motte and bailey argument involved in this campaign. In particular, when people ask "Can't the 'fake news' label just be applied to any politically unfavorable news source to suppress them?", the response is usually "Oh, this will only be used for those crazy clickbait sites that just come up with random titles and spam Facebook ads.". But then in other contexts, it's very obvious that NYT, AP, etc. are using this to refer to lower-quality but only marginally more falsehood-prone tabloids like Breitbart. Besides the differing political bias, the difference between breitbart and NYT is a matter of selectivity. Breitbart might publish more questionable or false stories (higher false positive rate) but they also publish true things that the NYT doesn't (lower false negative rate). For example, NYT's coverage of the Podesta leaks was garbage, and I had to turn to smaller, less reputable news sources to find (100% verifiable) coverage of leaked email contents.

Let's also not pretend that the media groups leading this campaign are innocent of (intentionally or unintentionally) publishing some outright false or misleading content themselves. Sure, they do it less frequently, but they're no saints.

As for the OP, it is absolutely unreasonable to allow the government to dictate the truth. I should not have to spell out how that can and will go wrong. Permit people to believe what they will. If you're worried about false information, try to make better information management tools rather than using the government to force people into some arbitrarily chosen "correct" belief system. This isn't some stupid appeal to the idea that objective truth doesn't exist; it's recognizing the fact that any one person (or government Ministry of Truth) is almost certainly wrong about a non-negligible number of things, and it's better for at least some people to be right about any given topic than for every single person to be uniformly right or wrong about any given topic.
Albuquerque is deeply Catholic. Catholicism, Latin American Catholicism in particular is very big on social/economic justice, charity, 'works theology'

Almost everyone in EU learns English right after kindergarten. And then movies, tv series, online mmorpg, internet stuff, English is everywhere. I would have preferred to go to Finland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, where I would be able to advance my education for free. And although UK was easier to manage in several aspects, I was ok to go to a anywhere else, buy my girlfriend (with a job in other area) was not.

What scares me is how it's been mostly the western Pacific Rim (Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia) getting quakes. That tells me that things might be getting a little unstable on the eastern Pacific Rim, assuming the Earth keeps things "balanced".

Chile did get a huge one a while ago, no?
That... Doesn't seem likely. I've only taken a few geology classes during my undergrad, but considering these are earthquakes in a subduction zone, it doesn't seem possible that some lateral forces would be causing these quakes.
All is fair in love and war. What are you going to do, start a war over this? No. Well then. I guess everyone is free to steal and copy whatever they want to... as long as they have enough force to back up their moves. Just as it has always been.

Buying things from Amazon no longer makes economic sense for most people. Buying from other stores because they are cheaper has nothing to do with the idea of a boycott. If you dislike how they conduct their business, then you have another reason to re-evaluate your expenditures with them.

>Did you really just try to blame WW2's effect on the rail network on nationalization?

No. I think you are stretching that a bit. The response too the post war disrepair by the nationalized BR was to close the network rather than make investment needed to put it right. Britain is criss-crossed by closed railway lines. The attitude of 'lets close stuff until we can afford the upkeep' was not reversed until privatisation.

>The housing crisis....

The housing crisis may be part of the issue. Another part is London centric planning. Why do so many of the workforce have to travel to the centre of London to sit at a computer screen and answer the phone? I recently had to pay £200 to catch a train to London to meet an ERP consultancy who had moved into The Shard for prestige...but practically they could have been anywhere with decent internet...The same point to the poster who mentioned London Overground. Yes loads of money is thrown at London transport, and because of that public ownership has been successful, I just can't see it happening the same way in the midlands. You mention Livingstone, didn't his transport czar try and sell private bonds in London underground? It was blocked by Blair/Brown if you remember. Again this was ideological rather than practical.

Up here, a couple of hours out of London, the trains are much, much better since privatisation. I have no ideological view on either method of ownership, just my experience of riding on them. Yes the government keeps making a hash of awarding franchises. But if they can't award a franchise properly, how can you ask them to actually run it.

Now perhaps we can agree on one thing, can we cancel HS2 and get Hyperloop instead?
Virtual particles are not are ordinary particles that pop in and out of existence. Virtual particles are a particular way to model quantum interactions. Some argue virtual particles are "real" in an ontological way, and pop science tends to lean toward that view, but they're certainly not real the way regular particles are real.

It's required that quantum interactions obey conservation laws, and any non-conserving "virtual configuration" must be short-lived, only existing to the extent it might affect interactions with "real", physically allowed configurations. There's no quantum interaction that lets a proton turn into something else while obeying conservation laws. In particular, normal interactions can't change the number of quarks in a given configuration, and the proton is the lowest energy configuration of 3 quarks. So it can't "tunnel" via a virtual configuration into some other real configuration.

Grand unified theories usually introduce additional mechanisms that can turn quarks into leptons, so proton decay is a test of those theories.

It is mind-boggling that one of the richest countries in the world and definitely the most powerful one has such a big problem with homeless people. My first impression when I came to US 4 years ago and in CA specifically was the amount of homeless people. I have not seen so many even in my home country that has a LOT of illegal immigrants. So far I have not seen any progress, at least in the state of CA. Does anyone know if those people are doing that by choice, is the system "punishing" the people that made a bad choice maybe in the past and lost everything, is it something else ? I have heard that it is very difficult to find a new job once you reach that level, not because you don't want to, but because of formalities (e.g. no home address, etc). Is that true ? It is not fair for people to not be able to sleep under a roof or to not be able to have food and clean water (see Africa), and at the same time to have so many technological advances and to have so many millionaires/billionaires that care only about their pockets.
You've not explained how a header-only approach precludes "security, performance, handling of edge cases, memory leaks [presumably you mean the absence of] and reliability".
Bisby, I just can't understand how you go from a - very clearly to me - thought-through understanding of the nuances of response to targeted banter, to your apparent mind-reading of your colleague's motivations. I'm not saying that his motivations weren't bound up with a desire to move back home, but you state it with such dogmatic certainty it undoes any reasonableness your previous arguments so convincingly showed. "His goal was [...] to get his way". The assumption that your view must also be his view, and that if it is not he must be duplicitous, bespeaks a terrifying lack of imagination. Perhaps he's not the kind of guy to "say a profanity" and carry on working. Who knows? Perhaps you're right, but we just can't say. Why assume the worst of him?
Yep, that's a pretty good summary of the orthodoxy where I got my BCom.

Negative Income Tax is mathematically equivalent to Basic Income, in that either can produce the same income function with the right tax bands.

However, there would likely be implementation differences in practice as a consequence of their framing.
God's Number is 26
I'm not sure what there is to update. I'm guessing they chose some "interesting" people (as in whose outcomes will most likely to advance their agenda), and doled out a monthly "income" for them -- as in, they literally handed them cash for 6 months (personally, I would've just kept on working full-time). Nothing magical to report back on there, right?

This doesn't really show the economic effects of "basic income" on a macro scale though (I claim that they are so drastic that they are actually worth understanding first, but can't personally think of a better "experimentation platform"). Also, I doubt the project will really do much to actually influence public policy in a way that would favor UBI.

It's also probably shocking to a lot of people that Uber's self-driving cars really weren't as good as they were supposed to be, so now it makes YC look like they _really_ just jumped the gun.

Call it "Basic Income," but really, it's "giving money to people" on a small scale.
You did make some pro-feminist statements in this thread, and i upvoted them even! You also, a week and a half ago, called me a "deeply unhappy person" and suggested i was crazy. Not sure what to make of that.

We've started giving money to a small pilot group. We're still working out the kinks but expanding it slowly.

The plan is still to run the pilot until we're confident everything is working well (especially with issues like making sure no one loses eligibility for income-based benefits) and then start the full-scale study.
Because then the rich people can't afford to buy dozens of excessively expensive cars, or own several houses, or have other people do all the menial chores for them, ...
Are those diacritics? I tend to think of them as separate letters just as å and ä are separate letters in Swedish. Of course, ё is usually written as е so I may well be wrong about that.

This is different from è, é, ë, and ê in French where these are all e, but with different diacritics.
Yes, that's literally what it does.. (in addition to allowing users to comment on webpages)

>People who are unlucky to be earning just enough to be excluded in one way or the other, from these UBI handouts

Universal Basic Income means there are no such people, by definition.

>as in say an universal extra $10,000 bump to _absolutely everyone_ regardless of income class ( if that is what they even _mean_ when they say UBI; I doubt it is )

Yes it is. That is the definition of UBI.

>a) their kids cannot get into those choice daycare centers which weren't so crammed only a few years ago

>c) their favorite restaurants are always booked or have lines out the door ( a perennial theme in SF ) [2]

Your reference contradicts your point. It says SF has more restaurants per household than elsewhere, so one would assume they are much less crowded on average.

Moreover, if services start to become crowded as a result of increased demand, then new ones will open to cater to that demand.

> d) the rent pressure is greater for a smaller inventory of listings in the desirable neighborhoods

There's plenty of affordable desirable housing available, the problem is that it's nowhere near the jobs people need to pay for it. If you pay people Basic Income, they can afford to move out of the expensive cities which in turn reduces demand for housing within them.
> any time a problem of this magnitude hasn't been solved AND you think the answer is 'blindingly obvious', consider that you don't fully grok the problem.

That is a good point - this thread has turned out to be more complex than I expected, and had I been a bit more open-minded I would have avoided the phrase 'blindingly obvious'.

Still, I'm not yet convinced this is an intractable problem. The New York Times articles says that patients are 3 times more likely to die at one hospital than another, even after controlling for patient sickness, income and age. This may be due to (a) a confounding variable; (b) a real difference between the quality of care provided by the hospitals. How much weight should we place on each possibility? Is it 50/50, or 60/40, or 10/90?

If you have to have a medical procedure and were told the survival rate of Hospital A is 98% and at Hospital B is 94% would you say, "there are so many possible confounding variables, this statistic will have no bearing on my choice of hospital"?
Yes and no. For starters, download the report itself, which is linked to in the article. Next, it's true this isn't the best research on the topic, but unlikely you'll find better research too; if you do, post it and link to it from here.

Avoiding business transactions with those you dislike is a basic principle. It does not need to do anything other than allow you to say "at least I do not fund them".

That said, my post suggested that people would be better off if they purchased elsewhere because it is often cheaper to buy elsewhere than it is to buy off Amazon. That is an economic reality and one that naturally lends itself to people buying from Amazon's competitors. The suggestion of a boycott was the furthest thing from my mind.
>Facebook should absolutely take the government to court over this

This is not a contract between two corporations.

A private corporation should NOT sue a government for creating a new law. As long as it's legally feasible, Germany should do whatever it deems necessary to its own sovereignty and interests.
The article doesn't support that conclusion -- typical for Freakinomics fare.

A boycott is a powerful weapon in the context of a broader grassroots movement. We'll get there with Amazon soon -- they're too big to not step into a turd that generates sufficient discord.

Whenever you read a biased article about the West in the Chinese press, simply replace the text "West" with "China". What's remarkable is that the story rarely changes. Every evil charge leveled by the Chinese media at the West is happening in china as well. The emperor literally has no clothes on.

I'm well aware that it pays to villanize the USA in the Chinese press today. It definitely distracts from problems at home, and has been a standard play in the CPC handbook for a long time.

> AFAICT that's not always true.

And you are right. apt-get has "upgrade" and "dist-upgrade" commands for
a long, long time for a reason (the latter allows to upgrade packages in the
presence of dependency cycles and some other cases that would be nasty if left
in the middle of upgrade; obviously, no changes that need dist-upgrade land in
Debian stable).

You don't mention which country your parents live in and whether there is any family or close friends who live close by. Building rapport with the local elderly care professionals and staying in touch with them might be an option.

The biggest stumbling block I have encountered is that the elderly are very unwilling to use any form of technology. Short of installing internet enabled security cameras you have limited options for keeping an eye on them.

So who is responsible for that cohort being "less able to retire acceptably" if they've been on this Earth in the United States long enough to reach the ripe age of, well, let's just pick 55? If you'd give me the leeway, I'd like to rebut that there's no reason for a website catering to OLDSTER or GEEZER employees when they're still a blood clot of mobility.

Or, in more plain terms, why shouldn't a person use critical thinking to ask if a person over the age of 55 is smart enough and/or has good judgment if they haven't positioned themselves as able to retire? Does this register at all?

I'm a big fan of Scheme/CL but I find development in ClojureScript to be quite frustrating. If anyone has some solutions I'd LOVE to hear them; while es6 is great I'd still prefer a more lispy language.

My major gripe is with debugging, when I'm writing es6 it's really easy to set a breakpoint and modify a function half way through execution. Or half finish a program and then play around with completions in the REPL to explore a problem. Sometimes I'll be traversing a complex data structure and I'll write an empty loop with just a breakpoint. I can then run the code and work through things in a concrete state and once I've got things working bringing the code back into my codebase.

When I write in any compile-to-js language I always run into the same problem where once I'm in browser I have to go back to vanilla js and any advantage I may have gained is quickly erased by having to deal with transpiled code.

Additionally with libraries like lodash-fp and newer ES features (promises, fat arrows, const and let etc.) the clarity in vanilla JS code is approaching a reasonable level.
>That included studying other societies and keeping an open mind about what works best.

Yes. What works best for the individual is different than what works best for the state, though. 'What if the state should be more important than the individual?' is not a traditional Western question.
