In most soils the carbon is eventually released by the decay process (through decompositor organisms), though some generally stays sequestered (witness terra preta for instance). Some soils like peats and taiga are strong sinks as they prevent complete decay of organic material, and thus release of the carbon (until they're burned away).
I've heard convincing arguments[1] from economists that we should convert our existing "safety net" and "welfare" programs to simple UBI (aka BIG).

The argument tends to circle around the fact that the existing programs dis-incentivize getting off disability or Section 8 because the recipient is penalized in a step-function way (as soon as they get a job, they may become ineligible or could be charged with a crime). A well crafted UBI such that it's an income tax rebate (not to be confused with tax credits or tax deductions) to replace the many smaller safety-net / welfare programs eliminates the disincentive for people to get off these specialized programs that already exists.

While I don't think Americans are well informed enough to make a rational decision (and will likely be swayed by emotion), I think there are reasonable arguments for UBI / BIG.

You can ALWAYS switch careers and learn new skills. If your factory closed down you could pick up a different trade that is available in your area if you're willing to start all over. You can move to a whole new area and do the same.

The question is about whether or not someone has the intestinal fortitude to make it happen and see it through. Unlike tech where a complete career change could happen in a short time, not necessarily degrade your pay too badly, and not necessarily require relocation- this could easily be just too overwhelming for people, especially with families. The key is, there is nothing preventing an able minded individual from finding a means to support themselves if they're willing to go through lean times to see it through.
Im confused by your claim "There is no sure fire way to reduce the value of a dollar..."

The dollar has lost 97% of its value since the federal reserve was created. To me, having a federal reserve is a sure fire way to reduce the value of a dollar.

I would rather work today for pre-1965 quarters made of silver than a dollar today. The pre-1965 quarter will buy a gallon of gas. The dollar today will require three to buy that same gallon. Proof is in the pudding as they say. The currency is the problem.

That's always a possibility. I usually frame it as something more like "I still need to learn a lot more about this role in order to tell you an amount that would make sense for me, and you still likely need time to learn more about what value I can add. If you can share your range, we can make sure we're at least in the right ballpark, and if it makes sense to move forward I'm confident we can arrive on a comp package that works for everyone."

Very often this question gets asked on initial screener calls. They don't know how to really evaluate you or what you bring to the table, and you know whatever high level thing the recruiter was told about the role. The purpose of the call is to determine in the quickest amount of time whether it makes sense to move forward to a deeper, more formal discussion about the opportunity with the people actually qualified to discuss the role at that level (hiring manager, etc.). Make it clear that you are interested in the entire comp package and not just salary. I haven't really had that much resistance to this.

At the end of the day it is on you to do your research on what they need to pay you for this to make sense, and be happy with that number. If they won't go for it, you tell them what that minimum happy number is, and if they won't get there one way or another (extra vacation, etc.), then you need to pass (assuming that is a realistic option for you).
Contracting and consulting is a legal/economic framework for shifting the risk/reward ratio from the entity purchasing services to the entity providing the services.

It does nothing to change the market of service purchasers in any way. As such, if you had problems as an employee with the pool of service purchasers, you're going to have those same problems as a vendor of services.

As someone who has worked in several environments where microservices were used, I try to avoid deploying them as long as I can. In return for the scalability you get a lot of complexity that it can quickly turn into a near full-time job to manage. There is still no easy turn-key way to use in production and test environments, and you are left with a patchwork of solutions that require active maintenance.

Microservice architectures are a great way to solve a certain class of problems, but they can be a real pain at the same time.
IIRC newer iOS devices do randomize the MAC address used for probes.

Communism is not a basic income.

Communism is the government telling you what your job is and giving you a minimal amount of resources and prohibiting you from earning a single extra dollar, and your choices are either take it or escape to West Germany.

A basic income is the government unconditionally giving you enough money that you don't starve. Then if you want to e.g. own a car or send your kids to college or live in a city, you have to go out and get a job, which you can do however you like.

To clarify my point (although from what you wrote I think you got it right):

The argument that "basic needs" prices will rise (which was what my OP gave) because of UBI must be false, since being "basic needs", they already must be provided to anyone anyway.

In any case, even if a big part of the population didn't had access to "basic needs" the argument would be that: "we can't allow them to have those basic needs or else their price will increase to the rest of us". Than that, is morally wrong.

I hope now it is totally clear what I meant above.
The point is that a stable forest neither absorbs nor emits net carbon, so if we want to reduce/reverse the rate at which carbon in the atmosphere is growing we need an ongoing net carbon sink. Solid C02 storage can potentially provide this.

I recently had an experience with this type that was so absurd it belonged in a movie. Waiting in line at a bakery with my kid (who was uncharacteristically silent) and a woman in front of us with a newborn who was crying loudly. A mid 20s woman came in with her dog and immediately started the passive aggressive complaining about people who bring their crying babies into public. And while she was complaining about it, her dog shit on the floor. And when someone pointed it out to her, she said "What can you do? She's a dog!" and proceeded to not clean it up.

I try my best to raise my kid with good behavior in public, and I am peeved by parents who obviously do not...but there are some times that children have learning moments in public and it is part of being a human to understand that. Complaining about children having their childish moments in public is near sociopathic levels of self centeredness. The best you can do is ignore the sociopaths and hope their karma comes elsewhere.
By 'capable' I mean, they are too poor. Competing in this market means subsidizing the console and Nintendo cannot afford to do that in a way that Sony and Microsoft can.

Growing forests are carbon sinks, until the forest stops growing (and it becomes a carbon store)...
I think the minute it sells in the US I would order one, though I may have to wait if too many orders happen. If it stays at that under $80 range that is. I love the idea of having something the size of a RPi and being able to slap Linux on it and put services I can use in my LAN. Also of course the ability to be able to do much more with it. I wonder if there's a reason it hasn't hit the US yet.
> It is interesting to note that as time goes by, what was fancy once eventually becomes 'standard' and the features get into the mid-range priced cars as well. Auto-shift is probably a good example. Automatic rear trunk opener is another and so on.

Is that because the high-end carmakers invest R&D in reducing costs of making these fancy door panels, which trickles down into mid/low-end cars? (I've heard similar things said for other more software-related car features like traction control or abs, but I'm interested if this is also the case for manufacturing)

Here, substitute "identity" for friends, contacts, clubs, connections. If you vanished for five months, and then could only return once in a while, how many friends and solid connections would you have that you could really rely on? Now try five years! The answer, almost everyone finds out is very, very few. Being gone means you weren't useful to them for a long time, and that's what counts, for nearly everyone. What the elderly find out over decades about how shallow and self-serving most human contact is, you get to find out much faster.

So, if your connections in a city are only five years old, and you then have a child and start to care for that child full-time - you're probably going to find out that indeed you really didn't have much of an "identity" in that town, after all.

I admit it's a bit perverse (and not very zen) to equate personal identity and social contacts. But we all do - we are social creatures. When I was a teenager and my elders were saying "he hasn't found his identity yet" they precisely meant "role, group he identifies with." It took me forever to figure out that's what they meant. I still think that's a bit or more than a bit screwed-up, but it is how we conduct ourselves. Not necessarily how we should conduct ourselves, or how an enlightened Zen master would conduct themselves.

So I would count the first poster whose contribution is now greyed-out as naive and unsympathetic, rather than as deliberately abusive or trolling.
If humans actually died out, there wouldn't be any humans to lament it. Seems neutral to me.
Is this still true nowadays with almost entirely automated manufacturing? If you look at modern car models, even the cheapest ones have way more "shapes at odd angles" than sports cars.

People should realize that political solutions have failed spectacularly.

Technical solutions are the only possible answer, that and cultural responses.

Vast state surveillance is made possible by technical expertise. We shouldnt laud those who assist the government in this task nor in any tasks. We should shun colleagues who choose to assist the enemies of humanity, those in positions to hire should not hire those with backgrounds in government and make it known through back channels that such people are not desirable, that you will be black balled if choose to assist these heinous entities in their oppression.

Finally those able and willing should consider other methods of raising the cost of state surveillance, but openly recommending such things is potentially a crime in the eyes of the state.

I'm glad basic income is getting a lot of discussion, but it's important to realize we are still pretty early in the process of automation taking over more jobs than people can innovate. Technology has been making entire industries/classes of workers obsolete for centuries, and the economy has always adjusted.

In this next push, it looks like it will be different because AI/machine labor is so 'general,' but in reality, the pressure it will first exert on physical labor sectors will create more opportunity for a human economy based on social value and services (i.e. waiters in nice restaurants, artists, musicians, writers, inventors, chiropractors, etc.), as well as those requiring a combination of intelligence/education/creativity, like most of HN. There will likely be an increased prevalence of security guards, managers, and techs overseeing machines, and it will force people to take on skills (which they are fully capable of) that do not involve pure manual labor/doing what they're told. And of course, it's a longer time frame between 'pretty general' physical automation and 'sentient super-intelligence' replacing scientists, engineers, business leaders, and of course, the politicians who will never let themselves be replaced.

But when we do start to have the impetus for a basic income, say ten years from now, let's make sure it starts off basic, because there will always be jobs of some sort that you can get to supplement your income, and they will probably be increasingly social in value. Not enough to rent out a nice one bedroom apartment in Manhattan, but enough to get by if you're willing to go without nice amenities, get roommates and not live in an expensive downtown area. Until virtually every job can be automated and we are all servants to a mechanical society, there needs to be incentive/reward to working.

I don't disagree, but my point was regardless of why we're prone to it, it's a behavior with a net negative, and not to be encouraged. The comment I was originally replying to implied that it was a useful or meaningful signal.

It's not, it's a detrimental evolutionary holdover we should (attempt to) train ourselves to ignore.

That's an unlikely theory. If it is the Wyoming utilities that want to favor coal over renewables they don't need legislation to do that. They can simply decline to buy from renewable sources, which would accomplish their goal without any bad publicity or political controversy.
Nowhere near as much of automotive manufacturing is as automated as people think. Fitting panels etc is often a robot assisted job but not 100% machine. During production trials for new cars ALOT of time is spent trying to get the panels to fit together correctly, even getting the doors to seal correctly and be water proof isn't a given to begin with.

I think it ultimately comes down to the type of person working in airport security -- in Russia, you interact with police or military affiliated staff when you "enjoy" special attention. In the US, you're dealing with a very numerous staff of people without special training being paraded as a type of "elite security" for the country.

Anecdotally, at the US border, I've had TSA deny a small wooden children's toy because they got drunk on a fiction that I could break it or combine it with other items to make some sort of weapon (a ridiculous idea), and, on another instance, deny a carabiner because they believed I could use it as a sort of "brass knuckles" (also ridiculous and demonstrative that none of the involved parties were even passingly familiar with punching (as a carabiner would simply cut into the puncher's hand)). At the Russian border, I misheard an important question and answered incorrectly, and the treatment was professional and grounded in reality (confirmation of the type of work I do, my documents, and my purpose for being in the country). On the American side, the workers have big imaginations and are incentivized to invent things to catch. On the Russian side, they're looking for suspicious outliers.
Obama had very few good social policies. One could argue he slightly stepped back the enforcement of drug laws when it comes to the states beginning to legalize. He did a horrible job when it comes to drug legalization, openly refusing to go to bat for it at the Federal level. The ACA was a disaster (of course it was, it was a zillion pages long, written by lobbyists, and few people read it before it was voted on), except for a few features such as coverage for pre-existing conditions. He didn't make almost any real progress on US problems with mass incarceration either, although he talked about it a few times. He was against gay marriage initially, then flipped when it was politically convenient; the Supreme Court was responsible for enacting that equality at the federal level however. He was also a massive civil liberties violator, when it came to privacy and was openly unapologetic about it (he was clearly an anti-privacy hawk in all regards). In short, yeah, he didn't do much of anything socially.
Having an artificial force in a market economy almost always leads to unintended side effects. The inequity has to resolve itself somewhere.

I was thinking specifically of cases where someone is too sick to travel, but also doesn't improve for a couple of days. Many illnesses such as winter vomiting bug (norovirus) and food poisoning are usually short-lived, and will either ease off enough to allow the patient to get to the GP, or be severe enough that a GP wouldn't treat it in any case, but instead refer it to a hospital.
