A short collection of sayings by the stoic philosopher Epictetus called The Enchiridion.

There's a free copy at http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html

Sample:

"Remember that you are an actor in a drama, of such a kind as the author pleases to make it. If short, of a short one; if long, of a long one. If it is his pleasure you should act a poor man, a cripple, a governor, or a private person, see that you act it naturally. For this is your business, to act well the character assigned you; to choose it is another's."

It's been a while since I last used Haskell but I remember its I/O story actually being pretty good. The fact that I/O must happen in the IO monad doesn't prevent you from doing it; it just gives you better tools to reason about it.

I wish Haskell "advocates" would give it a rest with banging the "purity" drum and tossing out gee-whiz examples of "elegant" code with no relevance to practical programming. I found it to be a very practical language, not without flaws, but also with powerful arguments in its favor for certain sorts of applications.
Cool shapes usually encroach on interior space. The most space efficient vehicle that you could fit in a parking spot would be cubic shaped, perhaps not so pretty or aerodynamic. A better question might be, why are these new cars so terribly ugly in general. Like the Pontiac Aztek and Citroen Picasso.
In my eyes, negative income tax is just a certain implementation of a UBI.
> In this election, dark posts were used to try to suppress the African-American vote. According to Bloomberg, the Trump campaign sent ads reminding certain selected black voters of Hillary Clinton’s infamous “super predator” line. It targeted Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood with messages about the Clinton Foundation’s troubles in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.

How is this suppressing the vote? It's giving potential voters accurate information about your opponent. Frankly, how is it any different from Mr. Biden shouting, 'they're gonna put y'all back in chains!' — other than the former being true and probably in good taste?

N.b.: I did not vote for President Trump.
> "people who can't afford these right now"

... but are still getting those things through means-tested programs, for the most part. The UBI doesn't mean more people get fed; it means fewer strings attached to where they choose to live and what food they choose to eat and whether they can get a side job to supplement (google "welfare cliff".)

You've misunderstood the parent post. By embracing non-polluting alternatives, you promote and induce market growth along environmentally healthy lines and deny resources to unhealthy options. This may not protect you immediately, but over time it can absolutely work provided a sufficiently large group is able to act collectively.

There is plenty of evidence that this approach has worked in other domains to create behavioral changes in large, impersonal organizations.

I'm constantly amazed by the complete lack of ethics in a lot of scientific research.
I do admit we all benefit from it, but actually using sentient beings as organ-farms is so far from morally acceptable, I'm amazed how people are still willing to work on something like this.
I wonder what effect an enacted basic income in the USA would have on immigration. UBI is going to be life or death in a vastly automated world, so we mind as well figure out how to solve the side issues of implementation.

It would appear that the science is still not decided on this. If the resistance is carried on plasmids, it may disappear relatively rapidly from a population if the selection pressure for it is removed:

http://bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1944394

There are other studies indicating that in the wild plasmid loss is a slow process:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3966108/

And resistance expressed by genes that become part of the core genome of a bacterial species would presumably be much harder to lose.
What makes you think that pathogenic bacteria never contained antibiotic resistant genes before humans developed antibiotics? I've never seen a study that proves that antibiotic resistant genes were never in pathogenic bacteria.

Seems quite possible that antibiotic resistant genes were in all types of bacteria and the volume thereof responds to selection pressure.

Automation will not reduce overall jobs same way industrialization did not do that. Automation will create more jobs in services instead. Basic income is crazy socialist dream that was tested in communism already and it failed.
I'm reminded of my good old Forth times (6502 on Commodore PET), and I'm glad that Forth gets the increasing attention which it actually deserves.

Under Ford ownership, Jaguar did the same thing with the X-Type, and in my opinion, started the decline of the brand. The X-Type was [apparently] designed to allow them to cater to a mid-market customer, but they produced an objectively inferior car with a little bit of Jaguar look, but the fit and finish of a slightly-nicer Ford.

I drove one after having owned other Jaguars and the cheap switchgear, loud engine, excessive road noise, and poor performance put it in sharp contrast to the rest of their line.

They could have produced a car equivalent to their full-size sedans, but they couldn't have done it for that price point.

Undoubtedly part of the appeal for the corporate parent was the sharing of (IIRC) the Ford Mondeo platform, saving them the development costs of an entirely new vehicle.

The problem with that approach is that people who like a brand for the brand's sake don't want the 'Cheap' version, and people who can afford the expensive version as a status symbol don't want their prestige reduced by sharing the same marque as someone with the less-expensive version.

It's human psychology, and part of the reasoning behind 'Lexus' being a separate brand vs. just an expensive Toyota.

Also curious. How far out did you see it coming?
I don't agree that this could have been easily monetized.

This vulnerability only allows you to intercept future incoming emails that are delivered to sendgrid domains. Even if it did allow access to all of their customers internal emails there aren't many buyers (and no obvious marketplaces) out there for that kind of access.

The risk is simply too high, if you're Lyft (for example) being caught with that access (even if it was never used) would be a possible terminal event for the company. Purchasers would be buying a giant liability and a small competitive advantage.

Maybe there are shady companies or criminal groups who would be interested in the access but even then I feel $10k would be roughly how much money they'd be willing to spend (considering the same amount of money could also buy thousands of verified credit cards or a million email addresses at legitimate providers).
Also, experts - as a class - are vastly more likely to change their minds based on new evidence than are ideologues.

I abandoned my cognitive training research plans after some piloting of a task. I had a number of data driven reasons for it, but a personal one was that I doubted that cognitive training would ever be more effective for the majority of people than spending that time exercising, and following better sleep habits. Sure one can do all three, but for many there are real time constraints (anyone with kids here agree?) and choices have to be made...and choosing to sit down in front of a computer for cognitive training is probably not the right choice.

Aaah, yes, automating the job of 2000 workers on a car construction line will certainly be replaced by 2000 service jobs. And those jobs will not be requiring higher education that these workers don't have, right.

Also, basic income is a concept coming straight from liberalism. The comparison to communism isn't even remotely accurate.

Not your fault, but your comment made me subtly sad that I haven't repaid the same sacrifice and commitment from my family with as much as they deserved. They too worked very hard to provide and give a good life for me, and through naivety, youth, inexperience, laziness - I pissed a large portion of it away.

I try to do better now, but I think I'll always carry some personal guilt over that. I can't fix the past, but I can work harder and try to correct some of my mistakes.

edit I neglected to note that you mentioned your dad to have passed. Take reassurance in that a brief comment on the internet, I think you've done him proud.
>> If you combine that with the decreased motivation of people to work (resulting in lower supply)

You won't get lower supply because of the automation, because that's the reason you are giving basic income in the first place.

It would work for a certain period of time until inflation catches up.

You could keep raising the basic income to keep pace, but it would require raising it more every time and sooner than the last time (exponential). Inflation can be quite damaging because not everything inflates at the same rate. For example salaries are pretty slow to inflate compared to the prices for things like gas or food. This is why a mason could afford to buy a car outright on their salary in the 1950s but almost everyone needs an auto loan to buy a car today.

You could try to stop inflation using price controls but this almost always leads to supply shortages. For an example look at rent ceilings in NYC, or the way grocery stores functioned in eastern bloc socialist countries. They had plenty of cash and prices were very cheap but there was nothing on the shelves to buy.

tl;dr Basic income would just create a new $0 mark.
The road to excellence is paved with lapses
Here is where I am struggling with... did the venture guys actually make money in this case or did they make such a balls of it that they actually lost significant amounts of their own money? Would they have 'Looted' the place by paying out bonus to themselves as employees, could they have done this to such an extent that over time it covered the initial capital they put in to take Avaya over?
To paraphrase Lenin, in politics there are no ideologies, only expedience. Free markets are useful to promulgate when you're in the process of consolidating power, as they remove the barriers to the monopolistic capture of various parts of the social and economic fabric. Once things have frayed to the point that people are on the edge of revolt, you have to march in authoritarianism to "properly" direct their political hostility.

I watched a documentary about the ICRC. They asked sellers to come to a village somewhere in Congo and gave the villagers coupons so that they could buy what they needed the most and exchanged the coupons for money. They created something like a temporary UBI for a village and a market for different needs. A family bought mattresses, another family corrugated sheets, another clothes, and so on.

If you give people basic items for free this will go bad. You know the horror stories in development aid how people sell away the stuff they got for free.

Try breaking an apple open instead of cutting with a knife.

Break the skin near the stem with thumb nails for an inch or so
along a great circle line, then grasp between palms with the stem
between the proximal joints of your thumbs, and press the
thumb joints together while trying to pull the apple apart.

Once the apple breaks, put one half aside for a few hours and see if
the interior surface browns. YMMV with apple type & bruising.

I suppose that breaking the fruit divides it between cell walls,
while cutting breaks cell walls along the cut. Enjoy.
Spot on! And Tesla demonstrated that.
> Well, some of it is payments on debt. Developing countries have forked out over $4.2tn in interest payments alone since 1980

Since 1980, that's over a period of 36 years, compaired to the 1.3 trillion we give them yearly. 1.3 * 36 = 46.8 trillion that we gave them in the same period that they gave us 4.2 trillion dollars.

>Another big contributor is the income that foreigners make on their investments in developing countries and then repatriate back home.

Wait, so when Sony and Toyota start businesses here and makes money does that count as a wealth transfer from the West to Japan? It's almost like these "woe is oppressed 3rd world types" types want to keep poor nations poor by discouraging investments and businesses in those countries by classifying it as oppression and wealth transfer.

>But by far the biggest chunk of outflows has to do with unrecorded – and usually illicit – capital flight. . Basically, corporations – foreign and domestic alike – report false prices on their trade invoices in order to spirit money out of developing countries directly into tax havens and secrecy jurisdictions, a practice known as “trade misinvoicing”. Usually the goal is to evade taxes, but sometimes this practice is used to launder money or circumvent capital controls. In 2012, developing countries lost $700bn through trade misinvoicing, which outstripped aid receipts that year by a factor of five.

Do these writers have any evidence that huge multinational corporations like BP are committing easily discover-able felonies like tax evasion in foreign countries? How could they possibly have calculated these numbers accurately without having several CEOs of multinational companies ending up jail?

This analysis was so bad it actually made me angry to read it. It felt like these researchers wanted to get to a particular result that would induce white guilt and fudged the numbers as much as possible to get that result.
It was same with industrialisation. All the crying that factories will destroy economies and cause massive unemployment which didn't do. It did a lot of good instead.

I make well above the basic income, so I presume most UBIs would be a net cost to me.

However, I cannot imagine that a UBI-related tax would in any way disincentivize me from working, especially if it's applied across incomes.

In fact, even for someone like me, I think the UBI would provide just a bit more emotional security -- knowledge that if a job or investment risk I took didn't pay out, there would still be food and housing for my family.
