Interesting, you are saying getting money from doing nothing disincentivizes. You mean like through any multiplicative process like investing and interest bearing processes? So you only support additive income? I'm with you! let's get rid of multiplicative income and we solve the wealth distribution problem. You can only make 14 thousand times the average man if you work 14 thousand times harder.
I think the same market that is interested in the Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ or Miata would be interested in a car like you describe - but with more horsepower and with a mid mounted engine. Like a poor mans Porsche Cayman.
> Our Constitution spells out in very clear terms that blacks are to be considered 3/5th of a white man for the purposes of representation in Congress. If that term itself isn't an example of how wrong it is to be a strict textualist I don't know a better example.

No, it doesn't; it states, 'Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.'

It doesn't say a word about blacks or whites (although it does mention untaxed Indians).

And that clause no longer applies, because it was removed by a later amendment. So: a) the Constitution does not and never did say that blacks count as 3/5 of a person; and b) the clause not counting slaves and those serving life prison sentences for purposes of representation has been deleted.

> I wouldn't make the mistake of pretending that the Constitution is a perfect document.

Of course it's not perfect. It's a damn sight better than what we've got now though.

If GNU's idea of free software and open source are lumped together, I'm not convinced that the battle for the desktop and mobile are over due to the direction Microsoft is currently heading and the way in which Apple's closed source ambitions are increasingly subject to criticism on the basis of being closed source. Of course the caveat is I'm looking at it more as the 100 Years' War [1] than the 30 Years' War [2].

The reason I take the long term view is that it seems to me that open source development provides advantages that play out over the long term. At the very least, Google and Red Hat's hybrid models look more and more like the main stream default.

- Watch the NOAA satellites [2,6]

Those are good points, but there are ways to fix that.

There's no reason why NIT needs to involve large amounts of paperwork. NIT only involves income, so a person simply needs to give their income (unlike taxes, which are much more complicated).

The NIT would presumably have a minimum amount given even if you earn 0$. That amount can be given to everybody can't do the paperwork. Then, the amount remaining above that can be distributed as a NIT.

Basically, give UBI to people who can't do the paperwork to cover them. The rest can use NIT.

The time lag is not a necessary property of the tax system. The NIT can be done on a monthly basis.

Anyways, this is just an implementation issue. Either way they both redistribute money.
Sure - if you assume these goods have a fixed quantity. For example, I'm willing to bet McDonald's is capable of making many, many, many more big macs than they currently do.

They've simply pegged their supply chain to the amount of demand they currently see while minimizing costs and trying to optimize profit.

Almost all industries get significant savings the larger they scale. There's very real reason to think many industries would get cheaper if they were suddenly trying to produce a multiple of the same product.
The FSF is a political organization; saying it has too much politics behind it is an oxymoron. And choosing to go after users over licenses is also a political decision.

Besides, we already have Open Source as a movement that makes the pragmatic argument for free software, there's no need to water down the FSF.
Or if you have a removable battery (like OP did) just leave the battery at home and buy a new one when you land.
A license defines what a user is allowed to do with a software. Therefore battling for licenses can very well mean battling for users and seeing them as a contradiction doesn't make any sense.
We have not launched the product yet. It isn't online. Therefore I can't say if we would have found passionate users.

Very educational link. We're holding back the third of students who certainly should be "creating and rearranging equations" in 7th grade (frankly, who should have been doing so in 5th grade, if decent teachers had been available), for whose benefit? The middle third who will struggle to do so in 11th grade, or the other third who will never even attempt it?

Then we wonder why "STEM" employers are always trying to import labor from overseas. One doubts those workers are coming from schools that assume all children are equally talented.

> 1) Resistance is inevitable. It doesn't matter if everyone finishes their prescribed treatment or not, bacteria will develop resistance to antibiotics one way or another.

Not wrong, but it paints a pretty black and white picture of something that has a lot of shades of gray. The way we use antibiotics strongly influences how quick antibiotic-resistant bacteria evolve.

With very good usage discipline you could even try to kill all resistant bacteria by use of different antibiotics before the bacteria become multi-resistant.

2.86% accuracy drop on MNIST is massive. This accuracy could be achieved with dramatically simpler algorithms. We use neural networks because they are more accurate, so if you take that away there is no point.

Also, they didn't actually build any hardware, they only ran some simulations.
Great! Does this include restoring American Sovereignty by decreasing or eliminating Corporate Sovereignty? That (and the draconian "Intellectual Property" laws) the part of so-called "trade agreements" that probably sucks the worst.
One major point of a basic income is to simplify and streamline the "state assistance" part, to eliminate the "cliff" between that and a job.

> "Making every contact count", a UK initiative to make sure that doctors[1] use every opportunity to promote smoking cessation, alcohol use reduction, weight loss, and other lifestyle adjustments.

Wow, that's truly the nanny state at work. I like tobacco, I enjoy smoking and I'm working on my weight. I hate it when I go to a physician's office and get offered the standard blurb about how smoking tobacco is apparently only slightly less lethal than mainlining cyanide with an arsenic chaser.

Frankly, that's a major reason why I don't bother going to see one. My body's working well enough, and while it'd be nice to know that my organs are in good condition, I don't want to deal with someone who doesn't respect me.

While I don't disagree on the possibility of a high value target getting preferential treatment, I'm still not sure why they'd waste the time besides having a slightly more competent agent plugging the stuff in to make sure it's copied. Or just confiscating the drives straight up as they did in the article and sending the target along. There really isn't a need for an on the spot forensic analysis, as the type of equipment you'd need would just be space prohibitive in an airport.

My objection to the commenter's idea was pretty much that they're going out of their way to create a scenario in which it looks like the drive doesn't contain data, but unless you are a high value target, all that work would likely go unnoticed since you're just getting a standard agent. Even if you didn't, and you had a recently graduated CS savant as the agent, it seems more likely that there would be no investigation to wonder "should I copy this drive or not" - they'd just do it. Or just confiscate the drive, etc. You can make the effort to try to make the drives look blank, but that feels a lot like theatre. It'll maybe fool someone looking to pull data, but if they just do some raw disk dump like with dd or most forensic tools, I don't think it makes much of a difference. It's just planning for a situation that really wouldn't happen.

>It's not difficult for a flash drive to be concealed inside a USB cable though, and if you're being targeted for a search, it makes sense for them to take everything.
On the other hand, a MicroSD card can be hidden just about anywhere, so if they're not going through all your stuff with a fine-toothed comb, the whole thing is theater.

I'm not really sure on what the argument is here. Again, I think if a high priority target is really going through, they're not taking the microsd with them. There are far better ways of moving such data, such as a trusted 3rd party who receives the parcel through a series of proxies or a secure transmission, etc. If you are a high value target or in a dangerous profession or project that you feel warrants protection, there are a myriad of better ways of moving your sensitive data across checkpoints. If we wanted to get really fancy, you could have carrier pigeon or a falcon fly it across the border, or feed it to a dog and wait for the micro sd card to be pooped out.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't be wary and consider protections, but it just feels like this line of thinking in tech crowds tends to lead to incredibly specific scenarios that their solution resolves when many much more practical solutions exist. Under the auspices of fun mental exercise, I think it's fine, but when we're considering these as actual solutions to the very real threat of government searches at check points, then it's just adding bad suggestions.

It's been the norm in the US as well. There was a time when it was more common for middle class Americans to have a stay at home parent, but it was never the most common case among all Americans {1}. It is only in the last several decades that parents have been demonized for not having a non-working parent (and this as real wages have been reduced for most people), but historically, the American family did not just have working moms but working kids (on the farm, baby sitting, running a paper route or as with my great grandmother in the button factor at age eight).

Exactly what I was just thinking. I was traveling on a foreign passport (from one of America's closest allies) as a personal guest of one of the most senior legal advisers to the POTUS at the time. Crossing into Canada? Pleasant. Crossing back? Oh. My. God. They lost their shit at me because some members of my family travelling on passports from the same country were in the vehicle behind us instead of with me. This was pre-9/11, and we were all on tourist visas. No idea why it was such a problem for them.
their statement referred solely to themselves

The headline is kinda reductive, but the actual article is fair (in my opinion), and basically argues that homogenized design + layout is a net win for consumers on ubiquitous platforms like these:

In that light, copying Facebook registers as even less of a cop-out. “People keep expecting these sites to look similarly and for them to interact with them similarly,” says CU Boulder’s Brian Keegan, a specialist in human-computer interaction.

(Also, considering the copious amounts of product design that Facebook/Instagram has taken from, say, Snapchat, it's not as if they're on a high horse in this regard.)

I learn from my failures and victories. My very large failures could only happen because there was a large victory in the first place. Nine foot tall and bullet proof becomes the bigger they are, the bigger they fall.

I know that I'm not, statistically speaking, entirely possible. I'm "supposed" to be dead, in prison, on drugs, homeless, and a missing parent, on welfare, and pretty much every other not-great thing I could be.

When someone sits in front of me and judges me unfairly, I can be upset with them and feel like I need to work harder to fit in with them, or I can simply be happy that they will never understand the person they are talking to, and for that, I should be grateful for their naivety and for the fact that I accomplished enough to even talk to them in the first place. I can choose to go home and be angry, or I can choose to go home and continue working and seek out people that matter. It's all about mindset: talking to this person, in isolation, was a failure, but the fact that I got to sit in that chair is the culmination of all of my prior hard wok and victories.

If there is one thing I've learned over and over again, adversity is only as permanent as you want it to be. This doesn't mean your dream job is just around the corner; it means that no matter how low you go, you can always do one thing better to improve every single day, and that adds up. Consider your options, learn to walk tall and walk away from bad moments, and understand that the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
