>The answer to how this addresses the question is that the medium is experiential -- anything that creates effects in it is 'experiencing'. Experiencing seeing blue corresponds to a particular pattern of activity in the medium.

But if your theory is that consciousness arises as a result of particular patterns in a medium, couldn't that medium equally well be "the universe"? Why do you see it as necessary for the medium to be entangled? Why couldn't consciousness just be the result of patterns in non-localised particles?
As your kids get older, and especially when they enter school, a large part of the evening will be spent by them doing homework. Their weekends will be spent more with friends and doing activities (organized sports, etc). You'll have more time to yourself.

In the meantime, enjoy your family time because your kids won't always want to spend all their free time with you (they'll have friends and hobbies to compete with you).

Make sure to exercise. So many on HN experience health problems that originate from inadequate exercise. 30 minutes per day should be sufficient.

8 1/2 hours of sleep per night seems to be an hour longer than what I would expect would be necessary, but if you're getting woken up by a baby then that is good time budgeting.
Not very familiar with all the basic income plans, but do minors get the income to? US population is about 325M, with about 250M > 18 from what I can find. Not that the savings would help much.
The numbers are entirely workable. You just worked them, in fact. A boost of taxation to Denmark levels and dedicating the revenues to a basic income would do it.

It's not a math or accounting problem, it's an economic and political one. No UBI advocate thinks it could be done politically this very moment. But drop labor force participation to below 50 percent, and we've got a very different political and economic situation. Absolutely no one else has even an inkling of how to deal with that hypothetical situation--the best conventional policy thinkers have is "it's impossible for that to happen, so we don't need to worry about it." And if it doesn't, well, I'm more than happy to concede that a UBI isn't politically possible, or even necessary TBH.

If it does, though, a UBI is the best mitigating strategy we have right now, and the impossible can rapidly become the necessary.

Given current finances, they're working on just the engine. The financial resources needed to research, design, prototype and build a single stage ground-to-space (LEO) spaceplane are way beyond them. Only the largest of aerospace companies such as US based defence contractors and Airbus or EADS/Astrium would be capable.

Basically imagine the entire program development cost of an A-12/SR-71 or X-15, but far more complicated, and re-implemented adjusted for inflation in the year 2020 starting from a clean sheet of paper. Many billions of dollars.

Scaling Dedicated Game Servers with Kubernetes: Part 1
I don't think the gulf is as significant as you're making it sound based on "30 seconds of googling". I had a pretty severe vitamin D deficiency a year or two ago and the (high-IU) prescription my doctor wrote for me was D2. I asked him if I could just buy OTC D3 pills and take more of them, and his response was "yea that's fine, if anything those are more bio-available".

This medical professional's nonchalance about the difference is in pretty stark contradiction to your bizarre claim that they "aren't doing even shallow research into nutrition". There's a million possible reasons they may have decided not to optimize solely for bio-availablility, just as my doctor did.
I'm not sure about the US but here in New Zealand, even if you just work in a room in your usual home, you can claim that percent of your home's costs in your business expenses.[1] So I definitely wouldn't say you're doing anything immoral tax-wise.

Having kids taught me how to use every spare minute I have. I'm a single parent with 2 kids, so I have no back up to take care of them if I am busy with something else. Half of my free time is spent with my kids, so I have to make everything else count. My process looks a little chaotic, but I carefully plan out what I'm going to do, and when I need to do it by. My entire day is on a mental schedule. Unless I deliberately want to, I waste very little in "screwing around." Everything is mentally prioritized and evaluated.

Having kids emphasized what I already learned in the food industry, don't do silly extraneous tasks ever, and do things as fast as possible without compromising what I do. I rarely wait and do one thing at a time when I'm trying to get stuff done. For example, I'm normally cooking one meal and prepping the kids lunch at the same time.

Unless I absolutely need a break, I don't watch T.V. idly. It maybe in the background, but I'm normally only half paying attention. I turn on CC so I can read the text, and half listen. Watch videos to learn something? You can read (I've heard 4 times) faster than watching a video, so I almost always take that route. The one thing I don't do is listen to podcasts in the car. That is reserved for NPR to catch up on world news.

Most of the time when people want to meet dealing with business, I demand an agenda, then I decide if it's worth it. I've been known to be ruthless at work with this. I focus my life around things like this.
Just in case you don't click through, the bug submitter refers to a color PDF (not a scan, so image compression artifacts are not an issue) that is similar in appearance to a periodic table. That is, it is not the sequence of `123456` that is mistranslated into `114447`, but a sequence of 6 table cells, each containing a single digit.

It's not just the numbers that are misprinted, but the text inside those cells too, which suggests that Edge's PDF engine is re-rendering the original PDF, rather than printing the original PDF as is, which I thought was the entire point of using PDF in the first place.

But maybe this is an edge case? In the sense that Microsoft assumes that given a PDF file, if a user wants to "Print to PDF", the user should just save the PDF file. "Print to PDF" is ostensibly used to convert HTML/DOC into PDF format.

If you are finding the money in the budget you are paying for it with taxes.

Adjust tax rates and a whole bunch of the basic income payments are revenue neutral.

Which is why people propose doing it with a negative income tax.
How would you achieve this? I can only think of a few ways:

- The government can force companies to give jobs to people they would not otherwise hire

- The government can invent unnecessary jobs and then hire people to do them. (The jobs would have to be unnecessary in order to be invented, because if they were necessary, they would already exist.)

Both of these solutions are terrible, and I can't think of any others that are qualitatively different -- you either put people in existing jobs or create new jobs.

The point of UBI, according to most of its proponents, is that it deals with a future of automation in which many people will not be able to find work.

I am not in such situation (yet), but if I were you, I would probably learn new technologies just for fun. Side projects require some level of commitment to yield results, which is admittedly hard when you have kids already.
So, since this seems to be a big stumbling block for people: welfare and the dole are fundamentally different from a UBI. A UBI is unconditional, which doesn't have the kind of adverse incentive effects that high effective marginal tax rates introduce. It's as similar to welfare as paying government salaries to public employees is. Which is to say, not at all.
Depends, I travel on train 2h every day. I work on my side projects (I have table reservation and internet from mobile). Additionally I have excuse to leave early.

This is fair, and admittedly I'm young. By the time I started writing code, github already existed. I can't really fathom a situation where all versions of a library could fall out of public access, unless that library was truly and completely unused.
I'll quickly preface by saying that everybody will experience different effects, so this is merely my experience.

I'm a fairly heavy user, have been for a number of years. I use it primarily to treat depression/anxiety/insomnia, but I also experience chronic pain due to years of abusing my body (rugby, mountain biking, snowboarding, etc.). Nothing crazy, but something is always hurting.

I wouldn't compare its effects to traditional painkillers by any means. I would say it makes me less aware of the pain, and "dulls" it. For example I can tell my knee isn't happy, but it doesn't "hurt". I have however tried some topical cream from a dispensary containing CBD (most strains you'll be smoking have been bred for higher THC and lower CBD), and it's incredibly effective. I experienced hours of absolute painlessness (which is unheard of for me).

As for workouts, I find it helps tremendously with focus and endurance. It's a lot easier to keep pushing on when you would normally give up.

I think it's a very valuable tool, and has relatively few downsides to it (I won't claim it's 100% safe/healthy). Moderation is important as always when using substances.
I can only speak for myself but it was lots of fun and I didn't got any harm from it. After a couple of years, it got boring and I stopped, but if you consider weed 'russian roulette', then alcohol is Russian roulette with a semi-automatic pistol.

Sure and in the cases where it is in our self-interest then go ahead, but the whole reason we've got this "populist uprising" is because people are looking around and seeing a lot things being done that aren't in their interest.

Why create a bureaucracy to monitor the incomes of of 330 million, and then force them to prove they are poor enough for a check just to exclude Bill Gates?

Gates is paying at least 8 figures in Federal taxes a year, just send him a check like everyone else.

How many people are you going to hire, and how much of everyone's time are you going to waste just to stop Gates from getting a UBI payment out of spite?
Yeah, if it is funded with taxes it is definitely potato potato (the alternative is to print money).

These policy discussions are weird, people focus really closely on the nominal mechanisms and ignore effective impacts.
From 5:30am-9pm my hours are for work, commute, family and chores. My wife usually falls asleep at 9:30-10. If I feel rested, I'll hack for 30min-1hr most nights.

On the weekend, we both make sure the other has "my time." It's important. I used to get 2hrs+ a night to hack. My productivity at work wasn't nearly as good as it is now. I don't miss it. I like family life way more. My life as a developer has never been better.
Full time working with two young kids aged nine months and three years. I'm lucky my commute is a fifteen minute walk. Most days I wake up between 6-7 depending on the youngest. Our kindergarten is right next door so I drop the eldest there on the way to work. Usually work 0820-1620. Pick up the eldest on the way home. Then cook or watch the kids whilst my partner cooks. Hopefully both kids are in bed and asleep by 2030-2100. Spend an hour chilling with my partner then bed.

I've only really managed side projects during my paternity leave whilst the baby was sleeping or during a period of gardening leave. That's more than prior to kids as I spent most of my free time climbing, skiing and going out. We also rebuilt our house last winter and finished the interior off over the past year. This spring/summer my 'side project' is a lot of manual labour sorting out our garden.

I've always learnt new stuff at work and have been lucky enough to get work that has been pretty new and different each time which obviously helps a lot.
Like a few others here, I also work remote. Zero commute makes a big big difference. It means you can step away from work and instantly be at home. It also means you can see the wife and kids during coffee breaks. Also, instead of sitting in a canteen for your lunch hour you can spend it with the family. In my case, I'm lucky enough to live close to the sea so when the weather is good we can spend lunch on the beach.

I work on side projects in the evenings, and at the weekends. Having kids has impacted free-time, as it always will. In order to maximise productive time, I gave up video-games entirely.

Well, yes. But that does not mean it isn't "welfare". It's for the welfare of the citizens of this country.

> I want anyone to be able to do whatever they want to with my code. That includes developers wanting to create a proprietary application. Telling them they can't is not freedom.

In a perfect environment without any means of coercion it would make sense. Nobody can be forced to release his source code if he wants to distribute binary. Anyone who wants to have source code is free not to use programs and their forks it if the source code is not provided.

The problem is that we live in a world with copyright and patent laws which allow someone not only to fork your source code and distribute it in binary form, but also to attach various restrictions to it and make governments impose those restrictions on you by means of force, literally. For example, they can prohibit reverse engineering or add some feature which you can't reproduce due to patents, place trademarks all over the place and add copyrighted art in case of games.

That is why less permissive licenses may make our world more free, as in reducing coercion. Apache-2.0 prevents patents abuse, but does not restrict new contributors. GPL not only grants patent license, but prevents others from abusing patents and copyright law. Thus, despite forcing attribution and releasing source code, it brings us closer to the perfect coercion-free world.
Very true. And I think that is why sometimes you see it shortened to Basic Income.

Working with graphs is super painful. Building a graph where you can say `parent ( firstChild node ) == node` is really

IANAS, but does this mean that a set of raw data loses value, as more information is extracted from it? If I use your old raw data to validate my hypothesis, does that somehow also weaken the statistical evidence for your hypothesis?

What you say is completely true. One thing that advocates will say is that this will work once energy is free. Things may very well cost fractions (1/10?) of today once energy is free. It also may make automation completely more possible at scale.

However, the other issue with UBI is that the to pay this we need all the taxes today to create this $3T but if no one is working because they have UBI where does this $3T come from?
That is always the problem with complete socialism, who pays for it?

I personally think the best way to address the inequality is to keep leveraging the EITC. Make it no federal taxes or complete refund for all households under $50K and keep raising it until it works. Earn under $25K, no federal taxes plus $1K flat BI. Don't want to work or can't work, you get $2K per month flat. (Numbers need more thought, used for illustration.)
Many would consider that unelected. I'm sure you draw the line somewhere too: I doubt you consider every government employee elected just because you can draw a chain of responsibility back to some elected official.
Nice work. However, I think the C++ community is best served by standardizing on CMake. It is widely used by many projects, and many IDEs natively support it natively (for example Jetbrains Clion, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2017)

In addition, "modern CMake" is much better than classic CMake" and the project is improving with such things like CMake server.

A similar process is building a custom kernel and rootfs for an ARM device such as the beaglebone. Olimex actually has a good tutorial for their device: https://www.olimex.com/wiki/AM335x

This is only slightly more complicated due to the need to cross-build but I found it fairly easy with qemu-static-arm and prebuilt cross toolchain packages for Ubuntu/ Debian.

The benefit is that you can develop for a target device that is not your PC, so no worry about messing up the bootloader and leaving your PC in a state where you need a recovery CD to fix it and boot. Just get a USB-serial cable :)

You can also try buildroot or yocto, although I had no interest in building every package manually versus relying on Debian's repos.

How would you feel if Common Lisps suddenly started sporting infix operator notation?

Haskel's alien, counter-intuitive evaluation strategy was actually marketed (circa 2010) as a powerful performance-enhancer that facilitated optimizations that were difficult if not impossible to do in a strict language like C. Instead, it ironically tends to cause more performance problems than it solves, with hard-to-debug spaceleaks capable of taking down production systems.

The entire Miranda branch of the PL tree is likely going to prove to be an evolutionary dead end, and Haskell will eventually lose out to Idris or some other strict language. And I don't think it's a coincidence that the strictness pragma (which does not even give you a strict program) was added soon after Idris and the rest started getting traction.
I think this usage is dying out in British English in much the same way as the word "auto" for car. People still speak of "mobile networks" and "auto dealerships", but they buy "phones" and "cars".
Goodbye JSX, Hello Comma-First Hyperscript
In NYC its actually illegal to do a short term sublet of an entire apartment. So this is a common workaround so they can give you a short term sublet. They can claim that they just rented you some space from their office so they don't get fined for short term subletting. They can also tell you that the space is private (because by NYC standards it basically is private, you get desensitized to stuff like this when you live in close quarters with lots of people).
Yeah, it's possible to conceive. But until you resolve it, it's certainly a concern, which was what the OP was disputing.
Remember that adding $3T in taxes is a lot easier to swallow once you recognize that taxpayers also have $3T more to pay taxes with.

Put another way, the average taxpayer will see both his income and his taxes go up by $12K p.a. His rate goes up, but the net effect is $0.

And then subtract the net savings in other social security benefits, and you end up with a net cost in the hundreds of billions. A lot of money, but something that starts to seem feasible.
I would have loved to read the article but it's currently down.
This is actually the whole point of UBI, to keep things simple without having to agree on cutoffs or tapering strategies. Your UBI "refund" is a constant amount but the taxes you pay increases with income, so the proportion of your taxes that you get back from the government tends to zero as you make more money. It might help to think of it as tax credit that every citizen receives. The credit barely puts a dent in the taxes paid by the 1%.
