Germany had strongly militaristic culture long before and was pretty violent prior Nazi taking power. Its democracy was also very dysfunctional, had weak support among citizens and many people did not got over previous revolutions yet. When we are painting them as the centers of science, culture and civilization, we are painting that in much better colors than was the actual reality.

There is a risk it will happen again, but we are not there yet. We are far from that levels of dysfunction. (Same goes for French revolution and communist uprising in Russia.)
So the people who get out and work every day are supposed to support the people who want to "practice a hobby." People who get out and work find this repugnant and that's why UBI is a non-starter.
The difference between F5Bot and trackreddit, is that F5Bot is free and it covers HN + Lobsters too. I have plans to add a couple other sites soon as well. I also like to think that F5Bot has an easier interface. Trackreddit does have a few additional features.

The verification email doesn't use HTML. Does it not show up as clickable in your email client?
Yes and no, it's about understanding their needs and providing a solution while also charging enough to pay for everything and future expansion. Also at the same time you need to cut costs to deliver efficient solutions in the future.

If you price everything based on living in a dorm, underpaying yourself, etc your business would fail.

If I didn't charge $500 for something with $24 in direct costs I wouldn't have time to meet with clients, go to networking events, pay for my time for all these things, pay for insurance, pay for nice clothes, pay my trainer, etc, etc, etc.

Initially it's best to think of things as massively over charging because it's way too complicated to actually figure out what things are really costing you. Plan for future expansion, etc.

But yes at a higher level people are going to try to get you to undercut yourself, if you give into the idea that you are over charging you'll end up being taken advantage of. So initially you need to be very strong in your boundaries until you have full time staff to do a proper analysis.

If you roll up in a Mercedes and a nice suit people take you much more seriously than in a beat up Toyota and some rags, you'll also project more confidence, people are buying you, not your product.

Also with all this stuff learn body language, slow down how fast you talk, slow down how you walk, do everything as if it's just a sure thing that's going to happen

How bad are the rules for MSVC compared to the Itanium ones and would you consider adding support for it too?

Not that I have a use case in mind or anything, just curious.
I had similar idea few years ago, and my rudimentary solution to this was web of trust. Create a way for every user to have ability to verify that they know another user. The user gets the whole daily allowance only if they are verified by at least 5 verified users. Until they are verified they only get a small percentage of the allowance. Tie this to crypto and you can help pretty decent web of trust that is so badly needed for crypto to be usable with emails
Reassessing historical narratives you grew up with has that effect. I'm coming to find out that nothing is as it was taught. The information you gain today should be prioritized over the information you learned yesterday, just because it comes from a better and more informed perspective.

I've been spending lots of time on Quora, I eventually learned that not a single way of thinking about events I had when I was younger was anywhere close to truth. Ignorance is the norm rather than the exception. You have to reify past events to fit current conclusions because you have no past understanding of those events that's reliable.

I'd call it "post-history" but if anything history is more important.
You're familiar with the fact that there is no proper, substantial, accepted model or principle of both gravity and EM that unify them, correct? And we don't knowingly have the ability to build technology that manipulates gravity (trivial interpretations aside). And we also don't know how our actions actually affect the dynamic field that is gravity. Cause the stress-energy tensor says it is dynamic. Or perhaps I'm just completely bonkers. Life certainly would be a lot easier if I were.
Yes. People are deliberately trying to muddy the line between legal and illegal immigration in support of their own agendas.
It's interesting talking in person with a Holocaust denier.

They start out by explaining there is no evidence of the Holocaust, and in fact the Nazis killed few Jews.

So you ask them why this idea is so widely believed, and they explain it is because the Jews have a vast conspiracy to mislead the world so as to gain favor for themselves and the state of Israel.

So you ask them, "Have the Jews done anything else bad?" and their eyes light up, and they go into an long rant about one terrible thing after another the Jews have done, throughout the whole course of human history.

And by the end they have made the Jews look so bad that it would have been a simply wonderful thing for Hitler to try to kill them all off.
Just curious, maybe there is someone out there that can explain this: If there was an earth-like planet way out there, and if someone was on those planets looking back at us, what would they see? What do we look like from a billion light years away etc. ?
Every time I do the math for BI people I never get upvotes, so it never gets attention. Yes, one day in the far future basic income will work, but right now even assuming nobody that is currently working will stop working, it will cost a _ton_ of money. Especially from the top part of the tax bracket.

This feels interestingly similar to Japan's focus on otaku crimes.

I'm not sure I can think of an obvious US equivalent - there's finance crime, but it lacks the overwhelming "not like the rest of us" sentiment and luridness. Maybe our focus on serial killings and disappearances?

Marathons and sailing don't require purpose-built facilities so it's easy to maintain the variety there, just draw the route somewhere else. Sliding sports might present more of a challenge but a few corners can be changed to add variety without having to build an entirely new facility.

I agree with you, taxes on the top are required no matter what. BI has other problems but I thought one of the other benefits of it was that it reduces fraud. You can't game the system as much.

Needs based systems are easily defeated and then some of give you money based on your "need". This means you get more than you should (and presumably more than BI would provide). I actually think the best BI approach is like an EITC on steroids. You get all your money back if you are at the super low end and you can also make that a multiplier to encourage filling of lower wage jobs.

What I mean by that is that if someone makes $15K a year, they may get 20K + $10K (2/3 earnings) back as a refund (could be quarterly, etc.) Someone who makes $0K a year would just get the $10K. Not well thought out yet but illustrating approach.
I think one idea is large mountains on the dark side and the water slides back down as a glacier that melts, and eventually vaporizes, and back in a circle.

You have to watch out though - make your mountains too high, and you shift your center of gravity, and now your mountains are no longer elevated.

The theory is called Panspermia

It's only a react component (not a full style manager). It has more interactive states and state hooks than CSS, JSS or Radium for better control of interactive styles and functionality. It provides hover, hoverActive, touchActive, keyActive, as well as a focus state that can be styled based if it's entered fromTab, fromTouch, or fromMouse. And more...

"Capabilities" seems a little ambiguous to me. Is it what we have done or what we could do? Using those boosts is a way to achieve the same results, only cheaper. Yes, it's slower than building a big ass rocket, but it seems people that sign the checks are in no hurry.

Also if I'm not mistaken, Voyager probes were not even intended to live so long or leave the system.

If there were a reason to send a probe to another star as soon as possible and no matter the cost, there would be a way, maybe not fast, maybe very expensive, maybe something weird, but it would be done.
In the comparison you linked, the 4 core CPU is clocked at 4.2GHz, and the the 8 core at 3.2GHz.

If you pick a comparison where the clock speed isn't so far apart, things look different: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1832?vs=1729

Of course, fewer cores usually means a higher available clock speed. Just pointing out it's not just "code isn't parallel enough" that drives the disparity.
We haven't tried yet.
This. Gaming hasn't been bottlenecked by the CPU in a long time. Anything from an i5 up performs pretty much the same with the same GPU.
Thanks for the feedback Petters! I agree in principle. I am familiar with that method. The use case for this is for situations where you have large initial sample counts (so the correction should be less important, we do throw warnings when the initial sample counts are low). We also provide tools to check power (I'll commit an example of this later today).

Also - I gladly accept diffs if you are motivated. It is not clear to me that BCa and other variants provide substantial improvement for most practical situations. I would invite criticism here.

Tldr - thanks for the feedback
maybe true in Silicon valley but more concerning is the age of companies... and how long their life is (very short). there are many opportunities for IT workers in non-tech companies. (just my opinion and I'm older mid 40's)
I didn't argue skin color wasn't genetic so I don't see how those papers support your assertion that light skin black people "clearly have microscopic amounts of black admixture." Neither paper even discusses race and race is certainly more than just your skin color.

The spectrum of light depends on the frequency of the vibrations in the electromagnetic field, not the velocity of the wave. For both red and blue light the wave is traveling at 1c but the peaks of the wave are at 700 nanometers or 400 nanometers depending on the color. And under Special Relativity distances distort so that you do in fact see light shifted to higher frequencies/shorter wavelengths in the direction you're traveling.

I think previous commenters have suggested this but what about splitting the Olympics up into four years of competitions. So 1/4 of the the events are played every year. There would be "premiere" events to draw people in but the less-viewed sports could actually get more attention because there is less competition for viewership.
Reading your link, it seems that the cement factory land was always zoned industrial, and was intended to be used for industrial purposes after the Olympics.

This is an interesting theory, but I'm not sure it fits with the tone of the thing.

America's narrative about Wall Street is hedonism, excess, and unaccountability. This is about violent murder and other atrocities - it's not about elite perversions but individual acts of derangement. It feels more like serial killer journalism than narrative-building about elite behaviors

I suppose that doesn't invalidate your point though - it can still be about driving anger with an elite group even if its not about "the way the rich people live".

> How can they be cost neutral?

That's literally exactly what the GP post explains. If the funds distributed as UBI are the funds redirected from replaced programs, the costs are, by definition, the same.

> That would only happen if by luck the same number of people applied to basic income as previously applied for means-tested benefits.

No, it wouldn't. You are assuming equal per beneficiary per time period total benefit + administrative costs.

> Also, even if you have some new funding source, the system would have potentially huge liabilities if lots of people decide to sign up for it.

No, its not dependent on people who "decide to sign up for" since, by definition, an unconditional income is given unconditionally to every member of the target population; that's part of the basic calculation of the benefit that can be given at any funding level.

Your main attack vectors are:

1) A disgruntled employee sets up a surreptitious tap on the network to see if any secret material comes through. A high value target would be `Authorization: Bearer` in HTTP headers, but there are plenty of other things to slurp up.

2) A normally honest employee running an unrelated network tap to diagnose an issue with the SDN spots your Authorization headers (or other secrets), and knowing that they have a legitimate reason to have the wire capture, copies out the key material. This is very hard to prevent, since network admins can and should be tapping the network from time to time.

I'm not particularly concerned about someone from outside Google breaking into the SDN fabric, though a hypervisor breach could leak network traffic from other tenants on your instance (if you are sharing).

That claim is idiotic anyway. Majority of killed Jews were not from Germany. They were from conquered territories, notably from Eastern Europe, and given no chance to leave.

German Jews were leaving in mass. Those who stayed were predominantly old, sick, poor or German patriots (e.g. were Jews by blood but not culturally with German families - shocked that they count as Jews too - that includes wwi fighters).
Ask HN: How to make online learning more motivating?
Online learning is awesome -- high-quality, accessible, scalable, etc. Only 5% of the people who start a MOOC finish it though. Why?

I think traditional colleges (or bootcamps) have a motivational component that is as important, if not more, than the structured curriculum or lectures. Online learning is not just very passive, but also lonely.

Having other peers to motivate you (shared joy is twice the joy, shared pain is half the pain), teachers to hold you accountable, a physical space and schedule to help you build habits, etc. is, in my opinion, the key to be a successful learner.

I've been experimenting with online synchronous collaborative learning as a way make online learning both scalable and motivating. The reason is simple: peer pressure.

I just wrote an article explaining one of my latest experiments on this topic, a Node.js course done through online pair programming: https://medium.com/@arielcamus/learn-to-build-a-backend-with-node-js-doing-pair-programming-b6d5a241b846#.8olu5g82k

I'd like to hear more about what you think. Could we use online synchronous collaboration to make online learning much better? Which other things can we do to keep online and self-directed learning scalable and at the same time supportive as a traditional learning setting?
Doesn't matter to DO, they will shut you down if it get 300Mbit/s for a sustained minute.
As someone who is about to re-enter the job market (moving cross country soon, employer won't consider remote options), I cannot tell you how happy I am to read something like this, and all the agreements. I have almost no online presence for github, partly because of the "walled software" you mentioned. This helps alleviate a lot of stress I had about not finding jobs because of my github profile.

Thank you! :)
One alternative to unconditional basic income would be an presence-based minimum wage. The idea would be not only to replace welfare and social security and other conditional income sources but also replace the idea of the minimum wage with a funded mandate. I'm not sure where this idea came from, though I believe I heard it attributed to Milton Friedman (though I've not been able to find a reference).

The idea would be to have an auditorium, where you would come in and sit and do nothing, and be paid the minimum wage when you leave based only on the amount of time you spent in the room.

Individuals would be free to accept wages lower than the minimum wage for outside jobs, but employers would have to compete with that minimum wage for employees, so any lower wages offered would have to compete in other aspects -- pensions, tips, benefits, opportunities for advancement, etc.

Because this would require physical presence, it would naturally be self-limiting in some aspects of abuse; you can "sit" as many or as few hours as you wish, but you cannot use that time for other productive work, so there's a natural fall-off of benefits as you choose to work instead (rather than an artificial administrative "cliff").

There are other aspects which seem very vulnerable to abuse -- why not just sleep there, what about doing remote work on a laptop, what about setting up shop and selling hot dogs in the room, etc. And there are some aspects which seem logistically problematic -- how do people commute to the room, how many rooms do you need, what about people who have disabilities that prevent them from travelling, etc.

But generally all of these seem addressable, and some of them might just be self-regulating by social norms, so that there is a small but acceptable amount of leakage due to abuse.

It seems administrative simpler in some regards than UBI, in that the uniqueness of a recipient is more easily enforceable, and it doesn't just change the y-intercept of the income curve, but rather semi-truncates it, so might be less vulnerable to attempting to extract the income through rent increases.

It also more easily adjusts to location-based pricing sensitivity -- it's totally reasonable for a place like SF to have a higher "minimum wage" than a less expensive city (just as minimum wages can float from state to state), and the requirement for physical presence makes it harder to game this.
That's odd. I use mitmproxy at work to check how my apps call REST APIs on HTTPS endpoints, and I definitely don't have mitmproxy's interception CA installed.

To my knowledge there hasn't really been a concerted effort to standardize such an idea more widely, but I might be wrong about that.
