Typically production apps require Security, Performance, handling of edge cases, Memory leaks, and reliability in addition to functionality. It is easier to implement functionality in a single file library, however the scope increases significantly when you start adding things like os/hw/api abstraction layers, and aspects other than functionality.

This is modern day slavery. There is nothing universal about this. It if was universal income than you must get that money irrespective of what choices you make in life. Just because you are getting money from government, government puts up a chain around your neck and says you cant work.

Libya is a failed state. There is no recognized, coherent government of Libya.

> So yes, America can be horrible. But America can also be the world's largest source of good, especially when other governments can't step up to the plate.

I think this is exactly right. It depends on how America chooses to use its power.

Today, it looks a lot like containment, of aggravating and funding extremist elements, of playing proxy war, of pursuing its interests behind a cloak of public relations.

The American incentive at this point of world history is to prevent, at all costs, other countries from becoming influential enough to challenge American decision making.

That's not just on the battlefield. America has been trying to block countries from lending money, from industrializing, and even from building independent news media industries. It has refused to join international institutions of law, such as the Convention on the Law of the Sea and the International Criminal Court, it has an overt first strike nuclear policy - the only of its kind in the world.

The United States faces a choice:

A.) allow other nations to grow, in a completely peaceful and benign manner, wealthy and strong enough risking that it will no longer a hegemon capable of making unilateral global decision making.

OR

B.) disrupt the growth of regions of the world, delaying the growth of competitor states, guaranteeing America maintains its 'critical leadership role' in the world.

Judging by actions rather than words, America chooses, and will continue to choose B. America is the country with the incentive to start wars.

The world should be multi-polar, and where it there is need for violence to rectify or prevent violence, it should be under international leadership with international decision making.

Here's a rough breakdown for a single income family of four.

Starting: $2,000 month

Income tax: zero or negative ( kids + EIC credits)

Health Insurance: $50/mo Obamacare. Medicaid will take care of kids healthcare.

Housing: 1000sqft mobile home $500/mo

Utilities: $100/mo

Cell phones: $100/mo for two android smartphones

Car: $150/mo for ten year old car on the edge of reliability. Includes gas and liability insurance and maintenance.

Food: $450/mo. This requires cooking your own family's food, but still isn't eating as cheaply as possible.

So this still leaves $650/mo for hobbies, saving, and giving.
Even if fully insured, most policies have a limit under $100k/person.

What does 'fully insured' mean here? A sensible approach is to have liability coverage sufficient to protect your assets. That might be a lot more coverage than the legal minimum, but a large personal umbrella policy might be hundreds of dollars a year. People go bankrupt because they skimp on insurance, not because it is onerously expensive.
I think we could get some insights even with a broken test. But it has to be made by open minded scientists other wise people will interpret it as final truth.

Good points. I guess if a service like Uber is barely profitable, it won't make sense. On the other hand, if there's a good profit margin to be made, I'd want to see how well it does (at least in a model. I suppose I can look this up myself somehow).
> More income would go to those who are poor but in work, and less to those for what ever reason (like disability) unable to work.

Isn't that a desirable outcome ? Shouldn't the able bodied person who is working obviously earn more ? Giving people incentive to work not only helps them rise up but also prevents their exploitation in case they try going to underground economy.

> For instance, why use a machine when you can just hire more people?

If people are more efficient business will use people over machines. I don't think machines are be default always a good choice. What matters is the efficiency.

Free market capitalists who otherwise like machines and automation criticize the minimum wage laws for the same reason. Minimum wage laws force business to invest more in automation by outlawing hiring of people who could compete with machines over cost.

Good night. Thanks for the chat.
Facebook seems to be pretty good at verifying the "no-nudity-containingness" of all posts on its site, so I can see why someone could get the impression that they should also be able to react to reports of "fake" or libellous posts.

I'm somewhat doubtful that there'd be a legal basis to go after news that's simply "fake", because afaik you can't even get at the publishers of such drivel. But defamatory posts are probably fair game.

Now that may appear like European crazy talk to American eyes, but just consider that Facebook is very much liable for some content in the US as well, namely copyright infringement that they don't block "expeditiously". This proposal seems to apply more or less the same mechanisms as the DMCA to a different category of "illegal speech", and I see now reason why copyright should be better protected than the democratic system.

I'd agree that major companies are probably not using .NET Core (aside from Microsoft I'd imagine). As far as it being production ready, I believe it's near or at that point. 1.0 shipped in June. My employer is starting the transition from .NET to .NET Core and we're pretty confident that it's ready. Having said that, we don't have anything currently in production so I don't really have much data to back up that statement.

Ask HN: Where can I find good side projects for coding school students?
I am a teacher/mentor at a coding school, and our students have been asking me where could I find good side/learning projects for them. Since these will be side projects they wont be able to invest more than 15-20 hours/week into them, but they might form teams if it really looks good. We, mentors will be able to help/guide them but just a little, e.g. help with negotiations or do code reviews.

Some ideas that came to my mind:
- Make a company account on a freelancing site (like Upwork) and let them pick up work from there. The profit is theirs of course.
- Find charities that need help with software development (any idea where?) and help them. Its unlikely that they will get money for these, but it would look good on their (currently empty) CV.
- Anything else? Im open to anything.

They are learning to program in Python (using Peewee, Flask) and know a bit of SQL and HTML/JS/CSS. So the work should be with these languages, I doubt they could pick up a new language easily at this stage. These projects should be about getting real-life experience and adding something to their CV that looks nice. But some monetary compensation would be a big plus.

So anyone got any ideas where I should look?

> "not doing anything and still get paid"

That's not what UBI is about at all. UBI is about getting paid no matter what you do. Which could be doing nothing. Or it could be studying or practicing or learning a new career or even working. The fact that UBI doesn't disincentivize spending ones time in a certain way (whether that's economically productive or not) is hugely important.

This is an aspect of where there's a huge misunderstanding about UBI due to competing economic theories. There are some people, a lot of people, who believe very strongly that the economy is fundamentally coercive. And, more so, that coercive economies are natural, beneficial, and overall desirable. A lot of that thinking has certainly been baked in to a lot of conventional wisdom, culture, laws, and regulation in the economy of western countries for centuries. There are other people who believe that the economy is or at least can be fundamentally cooperative, and more importantly that a cooperative economy is more beneficial and desirable and no less natural than a coercive economy. And this is where UBI comes in, because UBI is essentially how you bootstrap a more cooperative economy. One where people work not because they are coerced to participate in toil due to the alternative being starvation and privation but instead because they enjoy the work or are fairly compensated for it and treated well.

> In case HackerNews is wondering, this is what a 50 Cent Party member looks like.

> Seriously.

I actually just checked out this person's post history. It's all politics. Mostly about the US waning and China rising (until 600-ish days back at least, before then it was more about TTP/NSA/SONY/etc.), but the person seems extremely well versed about all of this stuff, mentioning a few things I had not heard of before (and I'm more informed than most peers while doing a cyber security study).

Either this account is a government account neck-deep, or he's totally legit and should write a blog that makes it to the front page every week. I'm not 100% sure.

A few things make me inclined to believe he's for real and not a Chinese government official.

1. He made a mistake a while ago where he responded to someone, asking why they said something to him, while they had responded to another account. I find it far fetched to assume this is reverse psychology.

2. The other account is named very similarly. No government trying to establish trusted profiles would do that. Unless it's reverse psychology there too, but that makes little sense (easy to find similarly named profiles and hold them against the light than distinct ones).

3. I managed to find a post where he actually promotes a decentralized system. I forgot what it was and closed the tab (stupid me) but it was something neither the US nor Chinese government would want for a surveillance state. This could be a calculated post to keep the profile up, hoping the post will add enough credibility to allow posting more propaganda, thus allowing for more people to read what he wants them to read... but it seems far fetched.

4. The other account posts along similar lines. Not a different persona. Why switch profiles when you are trying to establish one? He doesn't even post with the old one anymore. A person's reason would be privacy; a government official's reason... I don't know.

Added up together, I think this person is worth listening to. He knows a lot, seems to think about this a great deal, and actually seems pro-US even if it doesn't sound like it most of the time.

As for myself, what can I say? I'm not even claiming to be from the US. But the points I mentioned you can easily verify if you actually cared. It only involves clicking the profile, comments, and "more" links.

(I say he but it could also be she. Using "they" when referring to a single person is still a bit odd to me.)
I think it's completely useless. The only results I care about are in the long term (30+ years). This is essentially a 2 year salary giveaway. Not even close to UBI.

A number of things all happened around the time that the railways were privatised, and one can argue no end as to what caused the rising passenger numbers.

As crdoconnor says, rising house-prices will play a part in it. But in the ScotRail case, there's also the obvious contrast in the age of the rolling stock: the Glasgow suburban lines had plenty of 1950s-era DMUs and EMUs until ~2000 being replaced by stock from ~1990 and some new build stock, and the main intercity routes moved to brand new DMUs. (I believe the only pre-1979 stock that remained with ScotRail were a number of the sleeper coaches.)
They probably built it, so why would they do that?
