SMASH – A Dance Concept Video
Hello, I'm Kiana Perreault. I am a Dancer/Artist from New Hampshire. I created a short film including dance and concept about Suicide and Mental Health to raise awareness. I did this because my greatest wish is to make a difference in our society by "Standing Up to The Stigma" (of anxiety, depression, Bi-polar, and other mental disorders). I want to share this video with you in hopes that you will share my art, and join me in this movement. Thank you for reading, and I really hope to hear back!

SMASH | A Dance Concept Video
This is terrible, but isn't it also a reality in the West?

Privacy laws getting loose, private business making deals with the government, social acceptance based on a "state of emergency".

Only difference is that the infrastructure of "Western digital totalitarian states" is run by private corporations.

This is not UBI
I agree with you in principle. But I am extremely dubious of using the state to accomplish this. I would rather see a cultural shift where we all agree we don't need state coercion to get us to help one another. Anything the state does IMO will be inefficient and involve pay offs to a few select chosen corporations.

Do we need force to do this? Do we need cronyism? Do we need corruption?
Chalk another one up to 2016.
The problem with your thinking is that it ignores that it takes "work" to get people those basic necessities you refer to. So there absolutely is a danger in disincentivizing people to work, if people contribute nothing, but consume even these basic needs.

I'm not against basic income, but there absolutely is risk to society.
Seems like this would make one able to write the object-code codegen phase of a compiler at a rather higher level (at least if you're only targeting x86, or are willing to write similar libraries for your other arch targets.)

Or, to put it another way: looks like a good library for adding "just a bit of JIT" to an interpreter, without going full LLVM.
I was in classes G and subsequently F before moving to B (no interest in A).

Would much prefer any of those to class D from what I know.

... culprits get dealt with whenever a large percentage of the people are concerned about it

That's not how equality before the law is supposed to work. You're describing corruption trials as an occasional bone thrown to appease the masses.

How do you know the people who get sentenced in these trials are actual culprits, not just scapegoats the CPC wants to get rid of? There is no transparency or public records, and the judicial system in China is not independent of the government. The accused are effectively pre-sentenced.

Just because one approach is different from the rest, does not mean it is ill-intended or evil. There is no reason at all for any government to do something unpopular with majority of people.

This approach is essentially a tyranny of the majority interpreted by a single party that controls all branches of government. In such a system, who protects the minorities and those who would like to see a different political system? Or are they "collateral damage" for a greater good -- the eggs one needs to break to make an omelette?
See my answer here [1]. You are mis-interpreting Article 298. Its potential effect on the Tribunal's jurisdiction was argued by China and struck down by the Tribunal [2].

I want welfare to work, so no I'm not. The idea of welfare is attractive. The reality of welfare is violating the human rights of the source of its funding, while massively retarding the very economic growth that made it and all other modern comforts possible.

This is what the evidence overwhelmingly shows, as predicted by basic economy theory relating to the efficacy of the market over central economic planning at distributing capital.

But your delusions will not be dispelled anytime soon.

You would condemn hundreds of millions to a premature death out of your ignorance and smug self-righteousness. The tragedy is that you very likely have almost exactly the same pattern of thought that I had many years ago, when I too believed that the free market did not work. I believed that the ideology behind it was a con against the gullible American right by billionaire and corporate interests.

There is nothing a free market advocate could have said to me to cause me to even consider I was wrong.

>First, we know how welfare works and know how people suffered before welfare was put in place. Second, it there's profit to be made, someone will step in to make it.

I can't even begin to respond to something as unscientific and childish as this.

This is your argument? Really?

Just to summarize, you think the presence of suffering pre-welfare is proof that welfare works, and that the expected after-tax ROI on investing has no bearing on the proclivity to invest. Pure idiocy. Shame on you for being so reckless in your politics.

Exactly. And there is nothing stopping a group of people right now from forming up and, enforced by contract, giving basic income to all members by taxing those that make money.

If it were such a great idea for a country, it would have already occurred at a smaller level.
Instead of just giving people money our governments at federal / state / local levels should become employers of last resort for everyone who has exhausted their welfare or unemployment benefits. Guarantee 30 hours / week at minimum wage to anyone who wants to work. Even if it's just trail maintenance or graffiti cleanup they will at least be maintaining basic employment skills, and have enough spare time to retrain for something better.
Right. You've been harassed by police, but here you are, still commenting on the open internet about what happened to you, and not locked in your house with your internet severed and having not seen a lawyer or your family members for 9 months. Thats the difference.

The amount of work to produce our basic necessities has fallen decade after decade for over a century.

We are wringing our hands over the perceived threat of "lazy" people when the cure for this alleged disease causes so much misery for so many people already. It's not a fear founded on empirical evidence.
"But the big companies are making all of the money" is tautological, because we define big companies by how much money they make. All of the startup unicorns you'd probably call at this point "big companies" but only because of how much money they make (and spend).

I feel like, in general, your comment cherry picks examples, and falls victim to the recall bias.
Because giving people money is a better way of doing the same thing while matching people's preferences.

For instance, food: Handing people a government decided food basket will not optimize for what people want to eat, or know how to prepare. Give them enough money to feed themselves, and we spend the same amount and we have happier people and less distortions. Same thing with shelter: Money means that we let people make their own choices, instead of recreating a new version of the projects. The one place where the market tends to fail is medicine, but that's because people's preferences there are a lot less valuable, as all people really want is someone to help them get healthy when they are sick. And even then, there are cases where giving people choices is better: The US' end of life care is so expensive and so dismal in part because what is covered and what isn't is decided by third parties: Often people prefer to end their life comfortably than to do many of the uncomfortable, but somewhat life extending things that we do to them.

That's the ultimate argument for money: Maximizing people's choices in how to go around getting the basic necessities of life. The trick is that the amount of money we give people would have to be modified to make sure said necessities can be met.
If you interpret the title literally, it's probably true. It's not something to worry too much about, however.

Just like the rest of the world starting large universities has rarely had a negative effect on institutions like Oxford, Harvard or MIT, the rest of the world starting innovation center is unlikely to do much negatively to Silicon Valley.

Starting an 'innovation center' and actually creating lots of innovative companies (including some really large ones) are not the same thing at all. In fact, just like IITs are a great feeder into MIT or Stanford, some of the best companies outside Silicon Valley have become a feeder for the SV ecosystem.

I'm not saying it can't happen. I'm just saying quantity is not the same as quality, and quality innovation center is very hard to create without lots of quality people in all parts of the ecosystem.

Experts who study corruption say it can exist on a large scale only if those at the top of the government give permission to those under them to take bribes and engage in other criminal practices like pocketing the funds their departments are supposed to be spending.

What is going on is a system where the lower-downs (including the military and police) support the government, and in exchange the government allows them to use their official positions to enrich themselves. The higher-ups do this because they know the public is not behind them, so they need to have a paid-off security apparatus that will suppress the public if it revolts.

Keep this in mind anytime a leader in a country with a high rate of corruption says he sincerely wants to clean things up, but those lower down are stopping him from doing so. He is just plain telling a lie. And anyone who says they believe him is either naive or also telling a lie.

By the way, if you want to know how clean or corrupt a particular nation is, a good place to start is transparency.org
Human rights is largely a Western idea [1] and the UN was founded, dominated, and run largely by Western nations (Russia is sort of half-way between East and West in that sense), so your argument reduces to 'any society that best adheres to Western political and social norms is the best'.

You may even be correct that Western norms are objectively the best way to run a society. It just seems to me that you're remarkably unwilling to analyze or challenge your own cultural biases and assumptions even a little bit, even though that careful, rational analysis is very much part of Western culture.

Again, the plan is not to stop printing money. The plan is to say "okay, print X billion this month, then X * 1.05 the next month, etc." The purchasing power of each month's printing should be flat or rising if the main driver of inflation is the amount of money printed.

Much of your earning power is the result of work done by others, many of whom are long since dead. If you earn a living by using a computer for any purpose, you've taken advantage of work done by Michael Faraday, George Boole, John Backus, Tim Berners-Lee, and others too numerous to mention. Even if you didn't use one, you still benefit from being able to read and write, for example.

So some of your earning power really belongs to the community, and should be divided equally among the community, including yourself.
So, you're saying that giving people the basic needs for living creates more jobs?

There, you just solved the problem. Put money into creating this structure and it'll sustain itself.
Thanks JumpCrisscross.

My theory: everybody knows sqlite can be distributed as a single-file library that you can happily embed. However, it's a pretty complex beast compared to the rest of the list and maybe it's outside the vision of the list altogether, which features much simpler projects.

Edit: to be even clearer, sqlite is 100+ .c files. Yes, you can make it one "amalgamated" .c file, but no developer works on that file; they work on the 100+ smaller .c files.
Possibly. If your rot13 takes longer to rotate a Z than it does and A, then it will leak your Zs through the AES. Similarly, you might accidentally write your own rot13 heartbleed.
That's certainly possible. I am not denying that the U.S. has corruption. I'm just saying that it's much easier to characterize a newly-developed nation such as China, which went through rapid modernization in the last half century (and much in the last three decades alone), as marked by corruption, because that's often characteristic of a newly booming country. The Chinese civilization is ancient, but the PRC is a relatively new country. The sort of corruption the U.S. experience has is been baked in, over time. One generally does not compare corruption in long-modernized first world countries with countries that have either gone through drastic government changes recently, or decolonized countries. They simply exist in different scales.

Perhaps. But the multiplier effect of each of these is zero. We may have those awful humans to thank for our jobs.

Do you have some more info about how should I get started with cljs? I plan to use Polymer and I already have work experience with clj.
Not exactly. While it's initially only being offered to unemployed people, it will have reduced bureaucracy and won't be withdrawn if people start earning.

It's by no means a perfect test of UBI, but "re-branded welfare" isn't really fair either.
Worth noting that less than 100 people on Earth have the net worth of half of Earth's population; half of the world's population is 3.5 billion people.

Yep. Leiningen is even better than mvn/gradle combined.
Everybody has a different idea of a risk/reward ratio he wants in his life. Some people just want stability with basic needs met, and have no ambition for more; you would actually find a lot of them in modern russians who want Soviet Union back. But other people are quite OK with a risk of being sick and homeless as long as they keep their freedom to make their own destiny. And the notion that they have to pay a lot of money to some organization just to pay for other people's mistakes is completely alien to them.

I'm not trying to convince you that their worldview is better. But if you're talking about state-wide things, you have to take those people in consideration, too.

Their scores would also be tied to their jobs, people would get things done because it's another way to advance your rating. I saw the lack of technological improvements as the episode taking place roughly now, the tech for the rating system basically exist already.
So you are saying the civil rights situations in China and the US are equally bad? That is certainly not what the various organizations that study rights in different countries around the world say.
I couldn't agree more with your point. Mine was just basic needs should be covered for everyone. How? That's up to debate, but giving people money increases demand for goods, which activates the economy, so I'm all in for this program.
Honestly, would you have pictured the damage in your mind differently if you read about 7.8 vs 7.9? I can imagine the jump from 7 to 8 makes a difference, but it's just 0.1, which I doubt anyone can picture the difference between.

Taking the long term view though (and referring back to this article) we would rejoice initially, then realise our folly as the cheap tomatos destroy local industry and alternatives only to inevitably have to put up their prices.
I would probably fit my drones with undetectable rootkit viruses and innocuous-looking USB ports, ready to infect some unwitting engineer's pirated copy of Windows XP.
Again, I can't believe you're bringing out these links as evidence of a healthy civil society in China. All the events described indicate active long-term persecution by the government. (Why do you think China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group is based in Hong Kong?)

Your argument could have been made about the Soviet Union in the late '80s. I grew up in Finland, and I remember people actually saying that: defending the Soviet human rights record, saying Russia is different, and pretending that a sprinkling of perestroika has fixed everything. It was complete bullshit then, and it's the same today in China.
It's not relevant how many companies are hiring for that, as long as someone is.

Clojure is growing fast, and a complaint I'm hearing consistently lately is that there are not enough clj/s devs around.
The incentive system you mention only exists under the assumption that everyone needs to work. My understanding is that with the productivity gains of the digital age, those that are working are able to produce enough to cover those that are not working. We have an abundance of wealth, more than enough to ensure everyone's most basic needs are taken care of. It's just at odds with a capitalist economy.

These are not my arguments, these are simply the facts. Like I stated. It seems you are so entrenched in believing what you want to believe you can't even bother to look up what life was like before welfare reform was enacted. Why do you think we have welfare anyway? Because everything was better before it existed? Google poor houses as a starting point.

Please don't be stuck in your desires just to avoid having to shift mental models. I'm not saying it won't be hard. But I am saying it will be worth it.

And please please don't condemn generations to poverty and early death just because you want to believe that which reinforces your fantasy world view.
Isn't that the whole point of the experiment?

You need to understand how people react to the idea of "not doing anything and still get paid".

Do they give up? Do they get depressed? Do they create things? Does entrepreneurship increase? Violence rate?... These are all interesting questions
Let's back to basics. How do we cover the needs of one person? Better, how do we cover only the need for food? You need to produce rice, beans and meat. How do you produce all that? A lot of ways ... but you need to produce. And that word alone is the problem here.

The moment someone stops producing, he is a burden. He must be carried on by someones else production. The government does not produce anything. The moment he starts handing over cash to people who do not produce, he is transferring the production of someone who works hard to someone who does not.

You want to help those people? Pay them to study, get some skills. Pay then to clean the streets or the public bathrooms.

But for God sake, do not pay them to do nothing. It's unfair with the rest of those who actually work really hard for this handed cash.

That's crazy. Facebook should absolutely take the government to court over this. They're probably doing this because Google and Facebook have already agreed to a lot of things which may have seemed "reasonable" but this is really taking it too far. It's not Facebook's responsibility to verify the truthfulness of all the posts on its site.

On the other hand, perhaps this forces Facebook to give up on being a "news platform", too, and not just a social network, which wouldn't be a terrible thing to happen.
Why not tax accumulated wealth and assets?
A fixed amount UBI and a fixed rate tax doesn't do exactly what people want, because it is a huge tax break at the top, and a huge tax increase in the middle if we want to be revenue neutral: The shape of the curve is very different from the current one, and there would be huge winners and losers. Nothing short of a 50% fixed rate will not be a huge tax break for us in the 1%.

I don't know about you, but I don't think that the problem in the US system is that a family with two senior developers pays too many taxes.

Therefore, on top of a UBI, the only thing that doesn't screw the middle class over is to maintain a progressive tax rate.
Corruption exists in corporations as well. Who do you think pays bribes to state officials?

The state can be efficient too, regardless of it being a monopoly. It just needs the same thing an efficient company does: overseers and the right push to be efficient (a.k.a. an informed and well educated population that knows when they're being scammed and demands better services for their taxes)
While I'm not particularly optimistic, I could imagine it succeeding by temporarily eliminating poverty traps and providing stability for the beneficiaries, allowing them to gain experience or pursue training and end up in a much better position in two years time.
