Ask YC: Any Updates on the Basic Income Project?
Last time we had an update was on May 31:

https://blog.ycombinator.com/moving-forward-on-basic-income/

I was wondering if there are any updates that could be shared with the community.
You seem to have taken offense at what I was saying. I'll just say that wasn't my intent and leave it at that.
Here's an example of prior notification and a disagreement about the effects of GPS jamming on popular model of small jet:

If you limit it to just those 3 things then it's easy: Vanilla, Chocolate, ice cream. Vanilla + chocolate = tasty, Chocolate or Vanilla ice cream = tasty. Mixing Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream fails.

The only way it's a problem is they keep adding other stuff such as a banana ice cream Sunday.

In my european country Amazon is still usually the cheapest and fastet way to get stuff and i enjoy zero delivery fees and their generous return policies, however i don't really use Prime Now so all deliveries are by DHL anyway. I am not sure which service would come close and is equally convenient.
Eh, depends what you mean by that exactly.

Many of these machines can be programmed to follow a primary human driven machine and replicate the task. Other machines are piloted by a human, but the human does far less work someone that used 'manual hydraulic' equipment of many generations ago. You can 'program' a few sets of moves in them and then only slightly adjust the equipment on each pass as the equipment does that work.

The problem with older trains (or indeed older lots of types of infrastructure) and paying less is that what tends to be happening with that combination is that maintenance is being unsustainably deferred. You can't easily hide the cost of a new train but you often can hide deferred maintenance for long enough for it to be someone else's problem.

I've said it before on here and I'll say it again. I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart around 2009. I returned to the United States after leaving for four years and I feel more than ever that Amazon is now the new Wal-Mart. I no longer buy anything from Amazon; to the point of using services like Digital Ocean/Linode/etc over AWS for the open source projects I work on.

Even if fully insured, most policies have a limit under $100k/person. The really serious accidents result in millions of dollars in damages (especially when lawsuits are involved). What would have been isolated to a personal backruptcy is now concentrated on the autonomous auto manufacturer.

As for criminal charges, the key question is whether a bad bug can constitute negligence. That will no doubt be tested in courts when lives have been lost.

Some things are moving fast, though; solar comes to mind as an excellent example of an area with exponential price drops. At any given time, some things are improving fast, and most things are improving slowly or not at all.

My feeling is that there are a lot of basic tech improvements just on the horizon, we start figuring out more ways to bring machine learning into hard fundamental problems of industrial design, medical diagnosis, and so on.

Which of course leads to inevitable discussions of displaced highly skilled labor; it's not clear that the areas of fast improvement will lead to a good distribution of positive outcomes, as we've discussed here so many times before...

On the whole, though, I agree with the other three points.
We're talking 25% off a Saver fare, which can often be well under half the price of a Standard fare. Because Locomore has only one train for one line, virtually all Locomore customers are going to be long distance DB customers as well, for all their other travel needs. Hence, a huge portion are going to have a BahnCard of some kind already.

My BahnCard 25 maintains that discount for the local trams and buses in my city, so that's icing on the cake. For ~€60 a year, it's a no-brainer. The only people I know here without one are people who really do only take a train once or twice a year.

All in all, Locomore seems competitive. But that's all, it doesn't seem like much of a market disruptor yet. Of course, with their expansion plans already in the works, I am excited to see what comes next. It's going to be an uphill battle but I'm glad someone has taken it on.
That seems to me like a strange, limited, and impractical definition of a shortage.

When the supply of something is insufficient to support effective operation (or to support existing life), that's a shortage.

Yes, perhaps prices will rise until no more people can afford it than the supply will support. But perhaps that supply isn't enough to keep the industry from collapsing or to keep the population from collapsing, etc.

Regardless of whether the price rises to keep the resource out of the hands of everyone who needs it, the insufficient supply for effective function is still damaging - to a population, an industry, an economy. I would most definitely consider that a shortage.

Having an alternative to GPS in mission critical systems is enough of a case to justify the existence of Galileo in the first place. Things like drones or self driving cars are not just about accuracy, but also reliability, and civilian GPS is not bulletproof (especially not in urban area). We're already seeing triple band GPS implementations with Galileo, GPS and GLONASS (the Russian alternative).

Well, you sounded critical namely due to assuming/thinking I had only one experience, then trying to deconstruct how I was 'wrong'. Instead of maybe saying, 'I hope you aren't basing your decision on only one experience. As I had problems with the iPad crashing on me but I still think it's a solid device'.

How you approach saying something matters more than what you actually say, when dealing with humans. It's something that I'm learning as I've gotten older and I am not an expert.
A CEO is supposed to be a leader, someone who can inspire. What we instead are management ranks filled with opportunists and short termists who have spend the last 20 years in management with a single idea - outsourcing.

This is a management class who skate along looking for the next opportunity to rinse repeat the same playbook. There is no leadership or imagination here.

There is a crisis of leadership, a crisis of accountability, an elitist club who look out for each other and extreme compensation with parachutes even for failure.

The whole field of management has not delivered a single good idea, its taken individuals who go against the wind to show a glimpse of the possibilites leaving in their wake the tedious industry of management courses and case studies as magic formulas for success that outside of their original context have no chance of replication.

FedEx is non-union. They spend an insane amount of money marketing themselves as a good employer (all that, "Truck driver to pilot" bullshit).

I've have friends who were freight truck drivers talk about it. A lot of young kids get sucked up into non-union shops and are told about how much better it is; how they shouldn't want a union. Most of the unionised freight companies do pay better though; or if they don't, they make up for it with more benefits and lower road time.
It's a test. Here's what the article says about the motivations behind this test:

>> Now, the Finnish government is exploring how to change that calculus, initiating an experiment in a form of social welfare: universal basic income. Early next year, the government plans to randomly select roughly 2,000 unemployed people — from white-collar coders to blue-collar construction workers. It will give them benefits automatically, absent bureaucratic hassle and minus penalties for amassing extra income.

>> The government is eager to see what happens next. Will more people pursue jobs or start businesses? How many will stop working and squander their money on vodka? Will those liberated from the time-sucking entanglements of the unemployment system use their freedom to gain education, setting themselves up for promising new careers? These areas of inquiry extend beyond economic policy, into the realm of human nature.

Basically, no one knows how humans/societies will react to such a hand-out, and this is trying to figure out if an eventual universal income will be effective.

Also, this quote from later in the article:

>> Mr. Saloranta has his eyes on a former Nokia employee who is masterly at developing prototypes. He only needs him part time. He could pay 2,000 euros a month (about $2,090). Yet this potential hire is bringing home more than that via his unemployment benefits.

>> “It’s more profitable for him to just wait at home for some ideal job,” Mr. Saloranta complains.

>> Basic income would fix this, he says: “It would activate many more unemployed people.”

Versioning and Migrating Interfaces
At the time, the book helped me develop a new way to see and receive the world. I then applied that into my own life to shape what type of ideas and projects I'd go on to pursue. It helped me find a type of clarity in where I'd focus my energy in the areas I believed in. And looking back, along with other things, I'm able to source the book as an important stepping stone to how I approach my work today.
What if the accessibility settings let you set a maximum framerate for automatically playing moving image content in Safari?
Ok, so say a self driving car has a natural language interface. It can describe everything it knows about its environment, its relationship to its environment, and so on. And pretty much anything else that a decent phone or computer could talk about, given a few more years of advances in natural language processing, machine learning, etc.

What are examples of things it might say that would cause you to conclude it must be "conscious", by your definition?

Also, you seem to have ruled out animals like dogs or chimps. I've never heard of one them them describing their own consciousness. Are you saying they aren't conscious if they can't describe it? (should we not be concerned if an animal is in pain, if it can't describe pain to your satisfaction?)

You mentioned PCs originally, hence the confusion.

In any case, I believe Android uses the multi-user features of Linux as a security mechanism (and building a new kernel from scratch might not have led to Android being a major player - ARM companies already knew how to write device drivers for Linux), although it could reasonably use an object-capability system under a more focused kernel.

tl;dr

Finland is going to selecting 2,000 unemployed individuals, at random, and offering them cash without strings. Current unemployment schemes, they believe, hold back individuals from finding part time work / any work because the benefits outweigh the job opportunities. They hope that this new scheme promotes people to take work and have an adequate safety net to prevent homelessness and hunger.

Lol try having the CTO say when the billing system you look after hits its first 5 mil a month "this had better be right other wise we are both out of a job"
You're deluding yourself, and ignoring vast amounts of evidence, in believing that reducing the reward for effort/investment will not result in less of both.

Like I said: "people believe what they want to believe". You want to believe that welfarism works.
Could say that for everywhere, all at once!
I've always been curious about that as well. Suppose you took a small region of the universe and reheated it to be unification temperature today, presumably you would restore the symmetry, but presumably when you let it cool down, the symmetry would not randomly break in a different way, but deterministically in the same way; isn't that a way the analogy does not hold?

To get random breaking in a different way, presumably no amount of mere heating of matter would suffice; you would have to somehow restore the high-energy false vacuum of the Big Bang itself? I don't suppose there's any way to do that in today's universe, even in principle?

> That seems to me like a strange, limited, and impractical definition of a shortage.

Well, that's its definition, for better or worse. I didn't write the economics dictionary. I only can repeat it.

Is there reason to overload this particular word? While the implications of the scenarios you describe are clear, I'm not sure why it has to be "shortage" that represents it. Why not another word or term that encompasses those cases – unaffordable, perhaps – while leaving shortage to mean what it means?
Wow, this is equivalent to sending someone a mail "bomb" that doesn't explode but electrocutes them severely.

I hope the offender ends up with a reasonable length prison sentence. There's a clear line, and the intentional infliction of physical harm is well beyond it.

Selective Availability was replaced by regional denial capabilities with the GPS III satellites, i.e. instead of fuzzing the signal the US can now turn off GPS for entire countries[1].

It's strategically foolish for the major economies like the EU, Russia & China to depend on the US's goodwill in maintaining a system that drives a huge part of their economy, GPS is used pervasively for everything, and that's only increasing.

Trump wants NATO countries to pay their fair share, how long until he gets the idea that all countries around the world should pay a GPS licensing fee least GPS regional denial be turned on?

Those are the sort of reasons for why it makes sense to develop a GPS alternative, even if you're only aiming for feature parity, or even less than that.

That's a philosophical question based on whether you hold a descriptive few of language or not.

I see the MBA as a rfid badge into a different class of society:

- Do you already have an undergrad degree?

- Can you afford MBA tuition?

- Can you afford the 1-2 years required (not counting the tuition)?

Okay, you can be one of us.

Of course there's a pecking order within the MBA club based on school and year & model of porsche and professional reputation, and your work will always speak for you.

But I really get this sense that it's essentially a membership card into a social club and that the members prefer their own kind.

SQL Server Profiler = awesome. You can basically say "record every query that's going through the server for the next 15 minutes" – and then rerun those queries through a planner (SQL Server Tuning Wizard) to see where you can optimize them by adding certain indexes, etc. It'll even suggest indexes, etc.

So you could basically trace a production workload and then tune it offline.

Doing things like backups in SQL server using the agent, and running various workflows, also works really well. To this day, as far as I can tell, doing backups for most open source databases are a hodgepodge of bash scripts, cron jobs, and *dump executables, which every admin reinvents every single time.

These are all GUI apps that, albeit have barely been updated in a decade, but still better than most first party (or even third party) open source DB management tools out there.

I've heard all the high availability stuff is really good too but I've also heard that it's a pain to setup and until recently, only available in the really expensive enterprise license.
