While I don't disagree that inflation would affect the purchasing power of a UBI, I think you discount the fact that a fairly significant percentage of the US is already on some form of safety net or welfare program.

Whether it be "food stamps" (vouchers for food, reimbursed as governments like a UBI), SSDI disability (fixed payments due to work disability or structural changes in an industry), unemployment insurance payments (temporary fixed payments), Social Security (long-term fixed payments), Section 8 housing (vouchers for housing), etc, there are plenty of examples where the issues you raise are already affecting the recipients. I've heard anecdotally that many doctors have ceased accepting MedicAid (suggesting that medical inflation has already outpaced the government's ability to reimburse).

I think your argument should focus more on why the UBI is not any better than the morass of existing programs, some of which have disincentives for people getting off of the program. I'm not yet convinced is is either better or worse, but I don't think inflation is a deal-killer for UBI because it's already an existing issue in currently running programs.
It is interesting that Elon Musk thinks electricity generation from utility companies is safe from his products. In fact he expects usage to go up, as people move to electric heating

Though even cutting it to firewood has zero sum long-term CO2 balance as long as the forest itself sustains.
I think that depends on how unpleasant the job is. Doubling your income sounds pretty good, actually.

On the margin, basic income gives people a bit more freedom to make their own choices. I think the price for services in Silicon Valley would go up, but I suspect more because people can take basic income with them when moving somewhere cheaper. With the extra money, low wage/low cost places are likely to become more popular.
How often does that -suddenly- happen? Most often it's pretty obvious that it's happening/about to happen, giving plenty of time for it's workers to prepare for a transition. It's unfortunate that many don't, but it's not because it's too hard.
That's just how HN works. Story rank is determined not only by upvotes and submission time, but by numerous other factors including active moderation. We're unlikely to publish all that because doing so would increase two bad things: attempts to game the site, and meta nitpicking. Those are bad in their own right and eat up the resources we have for making HN better, so it's in the community interest to minimize them.

The approach we've taken re transparency on HN is not to make all the data public but rather to answer users' questions about how the site works or what's going on in specific cases. That seems to be the sweet spot.
He runs services for 4chan that were used to send threats. Unreasonable is hard to quantify, but to be careful, this shouldn't be confused with a routine traveller.
Yes, I think even more so now with the Node Foundation and support for all modern JS syntax (ES6 and beyond). It's being used by mayor players (LinkeIn, Netflix, Medium and Uber to name a few) but also smaller companies (from my personal experience as a freelance developer).

PS Assuming that by web app you mean "the backend for web apps". Otherwise Node would be used 'just' for the build process, together with Webpack and friends.

Its not either or at this point, you need both (as many as possible) solutions. In some regard CO2 storage solutions are better because you can make use of lower priced real estate like ocean floor vs growing plants and forests which take away real estate that can be used for human habitation and agriculture. Also CO2 storage is more stable in time. Like 100 years from now, people might just choose to cut down the forests and just release all that stored carbon back.
Scaling up this technique to make it practical is going to be challenging. And it is not enough to simply compute the quantity of carbon not emitted; the full energy-life-cycle of the sequestration needs to be computed as well.
Your comment has nothing to do with the article or anything even tangentially related. Take a pill.

No, eating a plant turns it into CO2. Our / animals' bodies burn the sugars (which were the store of C) into co2 and energy, using the original o2 produced by the plant to convert that co2 into those sugars.

It's more meaningful to reason about co2 storage in terms of area dedicated to plants, than the plants themselves.

Households won't always buy them, but if you were packing your kid's lunch for the next day, it'd be great to cut the apple the night before and have it edible the next day - or a couple days if the child gets sick.

More broadly, pre-sliced apples are convenient for schools and daycares (much like frozen fruit is convenient). Things like this might make it more likely for convenience stores to offer more fruits since they are shelf-stable a bit longer.
I wouldn't be surprised if it were the majority voice. If my career was coal and my entire life was coal, I would care a lot more about my life than the environment in 100 years. I think the rational thing to do in fact would be what they just did. Fight renewable and encourage coal.

This is not to say that very locally rational choices can not be horrible on the global scale.

Which is why I think a strong federal /global team effort is needed to make smart choices for the planet. The federal level could likely shut down this kind of law. I suspect Obama would have, but that Trump would not (hence the timing of the bill).

So care to explain that a bit better? I think you just contradicted yourself.

The government has no business anywhere near the job market. Go read about the subsidized corn market if you want to see their brand of job creation in action. For too long we've expected the government to take care of the needs of society when we should have been doing it as citizens.

We burn oil to produce cheap energy and we get CO2 as a byproduct.

If you want to reverse the process you need some energy, so what would be the point of burning the oil in the first place?
Here's another simple example.

Let's assume that basic income will cause net income to go up for the poor (otherwise, what's the point?) But let's also assume that prices on certain goods will go up (a totally reasonable assumption).

Then let's measure wealth in terms of "Big Macs". As in, how many Big Macs can you buy in one year? If basic income causes this number to go up for you... then you've benefitted from basic income, regardless of how much the price of a Big Mac increased.

If your income goes from zero to non-zero... you definitely benefit. Because with zero income, you can buy zero Big Macs. But with non-zero income, you can buy non-zero Big Macs... no matter how much the price of a Big Mac goes up. And the number of Big Macs you can buy will be greater than one... Big Macs won't cost $12,000 in this scenario. That would be ridiculous.

So we can use this as a framework to analyze how basic income impacts society. Then it is obvious that basic income benefits the poorest in society. But you are right, it may harm some people. However, it requires a much more rigorous analysis than you are providing.
Had friends, but they where all happily child free single people, who weren't super keen on spending a Friday evening baby sitting a 1 year old. And I certainly don't blame them in the slightest.
No, the point is that if you let things degrade to the point where many individuals can only choose between either going through lean times and uprooting their lives or supporting a ban on renewables, it's not surprising that you'll be breathing coal fumes for a while longer.
Stopping someone from fearing someone of a different race isn't easy. Stopping blatant racism in the workplace is.
I think it's a bit of a stretch for you to assume I was talking about "eradicating racism from planet earth" when the context of the discussion was interacting with coworkers. CLEARLY when I said "nipping it in the bud is easy" I wasn't referring to the end of racism across the planet. That will LITERALLY be impossible until the point we have a unified culture globally: which I won't say will NEVER happen, but we're generations away if it ever does.

But those .ipa files only contain encrypted executables, I believe it's called Fairplay DRM. As far as I know there are no tools available to offline decrypt such binaries, so if you're looking to reverse engineer one, you still need a real jailbroken phone so you can piggy-back on iOS' just-in-time decryption and dump the cleartext binary.

Wouldn't the application still be encrypted then? I thought the benefit of jailbroken in this case, was using Clutch to decrypt it.

Ok here we go.

> If everyone gets $1000 every month guaranteed for "basic needs", the prices for those basic needs will increase accordingly. And independently. So you'll end up spending that $1k on either housing, bills or food.

They don't get $1000/month for "basic needs", they get $1000/month for whatever they want. It's completely unconditional.

Which means people wouldn't go out and buy twice as much food as they currently eat because they suddenly have a pile of money that can only be used for buying food. Unless they are currently starving, which hardly anyone in the US is, they would buy the same amount of food that they do now and there would be no inflation in the price of food.

And anything with the effect of increasing nominal housing prices without reducing the ability of people to buy housing is excellent because it allows you to increase the housing stock without reducing nominal housing prices and causing existing homeowners to go underwater on their mortgages. In other words you can build more housing to cancel out the effect without NIMBYs fighting you and thus allow more people to own homes.

> It's sort of like how the ACA raised the overall price of insurance.

The primary driver of increasing insurance premiums wasn't the subsidy, it was the requirement that insurance companies take people with preexisting conditions. Suddenly a million sick people are making insurance claims who previously had no insurance, what did you think was going to happen to premiums?

> Giving money/help selectively to those who need it right now (and can prove it, i.e. no job but looking for one) is still better than UBI.

Only if you want them to pretend to look for a job and never find one. And you want to create a poverty trap because actually taking a job doesn't actually increase the amount of money in their pocket because the government withdraws an equivalent amount of benefits.

$15 per person per US person[2] per year does not sound like a lot, but in sum per year it's a massive amount of money; amount would be $4,847,228,805.

Not utility companies. This law would be a pure negative for them -- it establishes penalties for generating/using the "wrong kinds" of power, without any benefits.

> I want to offer them (at least) a modest raise to come here. I want them to be happy and excited. I also want to not waste a ton of time negotiating salary if they want 50K more then I have available in my budget

If this were the case, you should ask what salary the desire, rather than what their current salary is.

Also, assuming that you're not the owner or otherwise the sole decision maker, others in the company do not share you're enlightened view. For various reasons, they seek to pay as little as possible to employ an acceptable minimum standard of employee.
There's a separate Libertarian party for a reason.

Most "conservative, free market politicians" aren't in Wyoming, so it's an error to hear one talk and assume that Wyoming politicians agree.

HN probably gets most of its news either from California or New York(most of the MSM are based there). So you're more likely to hear issues framed from the perspective of California and New York, which both have rent control and such. It would be an error to assume that Oregon or Vermont have the same values, even if some map somewhere shows them colored the same. Other states wouldn't just disagree; they'd frame the issue differently.

Every state is different. As an example, Kentucky seems to churn out free-market types like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie pretty consistently. I imagine Utah would focus on the finance industry, and using the government to enforce Mormon values. Apparently Wyoming values their coal and gas industries.
I used to arrogantly think I could be productive in any language given a week or so to adapt. I often used the phrase "a good dev is a good dev in any language." That belief was rather abruptly broken when I joined a project using C++/CX it was so far outside of my previous experience that I had a really bad time of it.

I happily picked up the actual language very quickly. It was the surrounding ecosystem of compilers, build tools, debugging tools, libraries, standard patterns and best practises that was too deep for me to become proficient in.

That said. Learning every language you can is definitely beneficial. Just don't expect to hit the same level of productivity in all of them.
bad idea. totally unworkable. this will create a class of dependent poor people. It will also create a working class who slaves away to provide for those who refuse to work.
And yet if Wyoming wanted to grow its economy, they could add more ski resorts, winter sports facilities, hotels, and other tourist related businesses. They are doubling down on the wrong ideas.
Typescript is strictly typed, so things that need to look like a type but aren't actually that type, like mocks and spies, can be troublesome.
Also Rolex having the Tudor brand rather than a cheaper Rolex-branded watch.
Apple devices seem to aggressively cache the last known IP address on each wireless network, rather than issue a new DHCP request.

At home this results in duplicate IP addresses when the kid with the iPhone gets home after being away and meanwhile another device has started using that IP address. This tends to bork up the entire network on my cheap Netgear router and I usually have to reset it at that point.
> More people see what kind of trouble you maybe get into should you start contributing to Tor or other similar projects.

I think it's probably the opposite -- the person in question runs services for 4chan and other "edgy" groups, with servers he runs being used to send violent threats to several schools; if tor, for instance, is only known for piracy, dumb threats, and other unsavory content, it's going to turn people away.

Agree so much. I had a very theoretical course and am often shocked at how reluctant my peers are to investigate a problem in a language they don't already know (normally just one or max two).

Also, if they need to quickly munge some text they'll have a dozen Java classes and several poms.

I think this has real practical consequences for decision making (not knowing alternatives etc).
What lesson should they take away? How many examples are there if places like Wyoming surviving a major technological transition away from its primary economic engine?

The fact that it may be globally optimal to switch generation technologies doesn't mean it's locally optimal for Wyoming (within a political system that doesn't let Wyoming recoup local losses from national gains).
Thanks for the mention.

Yes of course, but unlike solid storage, there isn't nearly enough feasible areas to grow forest for a long-term solution.
The fact that you could choose to be that careful with Unicode in Python 2.7, though, is important to not forget: if the only change was that now you had to be, then code could have easily migrated and worked on both. This was the story of Ruby 1.9, which was, compared to Python 3, a cakewalk.

The reality here is that you are just wrong in both understanding and premise :/.

First, all these minor changes are actually extremely serious, as they made it hard to impossible to have cose which ran on both; as someone who was nowhere near an expert in Ruby, it was still easy to write code which straddled the boundary between 1.8 and 1.9. Ruby 1.9 really could be seen as a set of "warnings" on 1.8.

Second, the most serious change in Python 3 was not Unicode, it was actually the way it handled generators and iterators and lists in various contexts: this was a set of changes which broke lots of code in subtle ways and which could not be handled using your argument of search and replace (and which contributed to the awkwardness of having code running on both 2 and 3 at the same time).

Don't you need to use type = "password" to get the -for-every-character treatment?

I suppose you could implement your own (e.g. type = "text" with an onKeyDown listener that cached each keystroke and inserted a into the field), but that sounds like a terrible solution in so many ways.

I would think the laziest possible way to workaround this would be to use a CDN like Cloudflare to proxy all traffic to your site. Looks like they have a service called Flexible SSL that terminates HTTPS at the CDN, and sends unencrypted traffic to your backend:
