We already have this in the US for another industry: HIPAA for health records.

And it generally works pretty well. In the law, the government lays out rough things it wants to see (e.g. access restrictions, auditing logs, etc) + penalties (financial and otherwise) and then lets the industry find a way to meet them. Furthermore, there's a legal distinction between willful and accidental non-compliance.

It's absolutely added cost, but generally seems to accomplish its privacy intent.
The design is flawed from the start. If you have any sort of income guarantee in a system where

(i) there are others in the same currency area who don't receive the income

(ii) the amount is insufficient to live on

(iii) there are insufficient jobs overall in the economy for all that want them

(iv) it isn't permanent

then all you actually have is a tax credit system with a different withdrawal mechanism. https://medium.com/modern-money-matters/is-basic-income-basi...

The pathologies of income schemes that cause all of them to be degraded and cancelled build up over time as people adjust to the new scheme and work out who is failing to reciprocate.

Overall basic income is theft from workers and will be seen as such by those workers. https://medium.com/modern-money-matters/is-basic-income-basi... They then agitate to have the income removed from those seen as cheating the system.

What we need are guaranteed jobs at a guaranteed living wage, paid for by the state working for the public good. Then private businesses finally have to compete for labour and that maintains the wage share.

People need something to do where they can be of service to others. Not paying off and left to rot.
Why do you have to be rich? It's free!
It blows my mind that the allegedly smart SV elite think Guaranteed Basic Income will solve more problems than it creates.

But maybe there much smarter than I, and they secretly want to create these problems so they can capitalize on them.

Or maybe, they want to sap the proletariat of their drive so that the elite can remain the elite forever.
I like the thought behind the trackable card idea, but most participants are going to have other income and savings too, so what you're really learning from them is what spending they're willing to share with people who've given them money to track how it's spent.

Even if it was people's entire household budget being tracked, it'd be difficult to draw too many inferences from spending in the absence of price pressures driven by everyone else having UBI too.

I am not really sure where this idea of "Spoiler alert" needed when discussing stuff in text is coming from. Maybe it makes sense when people are beginning to talk about a book, movie, etc. It gives someone else that is listening the time to say, "Hey I have not read/watched that yet, let me have time to get out of ear shot before you guys start discussing it." But if one is discussing a creative work and there is nothing "spoiled" then really there is nothing of interest said. Spoilers aplenty in any essay worth reading. As long as the author states what he/she is writing about before writing any "spoilers", and this writer does that in the second sentence, you should just stop reading at that point if you don't want to have the work "spoiled" for you.

The title: "The moon blew up without warning and for no apparent reason" could be a legitimate cause for complaint as one reads it before knowing what the topic is, but in this case it is not as it is the first sentence in the novel. This fact is conveyed to the reader in the second sentence in the essay.
Really depends how bright is your "junior developer".

MStream Express - A Music Streaming Server Built With Electron
I know Electron gets some hate, but I wanted to show you can build interesting thigns with the framework.

mStream Express is an entire music streaming server built with Electron. mStream Express has all the features you'd expect of a music streaming server, including GUI management tools so you don't need a command line to set it up.

mStream Express also runs light. A lot of Electron apps get hate for being bloated, but this runs under 50mb of memory on my system.

Sure, HTC had a couple of seminal 4G patents that forced Apple to cross-license back in 2012, but I'm not sure if such legal protection is of any use for Google today. Most of Apple's utility and design patents asserted against HTC and cross-licensed were found to be invalid or not infringed during Samsung trial. Further, unlike Samsung, Google is less likely to suffer from the jury bias that Samsung did, even if they end up in court for patent infringement.
There is really nothing to fear. In any case, I don't think Google is doing this to acquire patents.
> I think most people would likely want more

Would they, though? That's the key question that I believe this study (and others like it) fail to address. Depending on the basic income amount, I believe it would be possible to live a fulfilling (if somewhat minimalist) life without needing to supplement that income.

"The first hurdle for instantly revealing anyone’s freeze PIN is to provide the person’s name, address, date of birth and Social Security number (all data that has been jeopardized in breaches 100 times over — including in the recent Equifax breach — and that is broadly for sale in the cybercrime underground).

I think you're right at least to the extent that this complicates drawing conclusions. Another issue I see is that in this study we're talking about a single household in a likely poor community getting a basic income. This is totally different from a scenario where the recipient knows that everyone else in their community is receiving a basic income too. Imagine this: a woman in a poor community who works a low-paying job starts receiving a basic income. Her boyfriend loses his job, and he starts to rely on her for support. In a world where both parties have a basic income, she'd have an easier time eventually telling him he needs to get out on his own feet, but in this scenario, she's the one with this "extra money."
Oracle and other vendors rarely interfere when shop brings them a deal for license revenue. If this was truly a 1 bid contract, it means that IBM likely made the sale and software selection. At that point they brought this deal to Oracle who may well have sent resources, but did not "run" the project. This is another aspect to this sort of large project. Vendors are usually hesitant to go all in with the implementation process, as it looks bad if too much revenue comes from consulting on their balance sheet vs licenses.

If they derive most of their revenue from consulting and not licenses, it gives the impression that its both difficult and expensive to implement. I am willing to bet that a bullet point in the sales process is that it is easy and cheap to implement...

A huge part of what makes basic income appealing is that it is unconditional and guaranteed. Otherwise it seems like it would create unsafe levels of government control.

For many people, BI would end up being a large portion of their income, such that losing it would be catastrophic. Now those people would become beholden to any government demand made on penalty of revoking BI.

If a government enacts unconditional BI in the year 2020, who's to say they won't change their minds in 2028 and make it conditional on good behavior?

Are there any mechanisms that could make basic income a true unconditional guarantee?

The rise of emoji
Thanks for actually coming up with some numbers. The linked study also shows that the 2nd biggest worry is Terrorism at 38%.
Now, I'm a believer that people are way too worried about terrorism because they get bombarded with terrorism in the news all the time. Similarly with social inequality: The social inequality people in Germany experience via the news is mainly concerning refugees, economic migrants and other international topics, no?

However if you show people what social inequality actually looks like in their own country they will dismiss it because that's not social inequality, that's just talking about 'Assis' (i.e. the people in dire straits who are themselves to blame for their situation, as I mentioned in my previous comment).
In the end, though, isn't that just an observation of how people behave with marginally additive wealth transfers? Shouldn't we have enough people who chose the annuity option of a lottery or had an unknown trust bequeathed to them to adequately study this phenomenon? I thought the real idea to be tested would be to take away the $1000/mo section 8 house, and instead give the recipients $1000/mo, and just see if they can more effectively use that resource.

It depends on the language and intent. With Python it has a simple GUI shell that lets you edit, run, and use the REPL (similar to Dr Racket). It's easy to use and doesn't actually shield you because there isn't any complicated build process anyway. If anything it shields you from:

This is perhaps the most incensing part of all of this. Is that after one of these breaches the agency offers 1 year of credit monitoring and then after that its $16.95 a month.

They have attempted create another revenue opportunity for themselves by being reckless with your data. It's mind blowing.
Yeah, the question is what is the proportion of low-hanging fruit versus persistent actors. We didn't just give up on spam because "spammers will find a way around".

And if we can eliminate a bunch of low-hanging fruit (e.g., from consumers who don't care enough about tracking to put a trackable company logo image in their signature), that's better than nothing.
I can't really argue with you. I did enjoy the book overall but I had trouble accepting how Part 1 ended and then it seemed there was a massive "And then a miracle happened" to set things up for the final story Stephenson apparently wanted to tell. There are at least a few different threads in how they got from part 1 to part 2 that strain credulity massively.
This is an amazing piece of work. They started with a good concept then hit it from all angles. I posted about risk areas such as this on Schneier's blog long ago. When debating with Joanna of Qubes, one of the reasons she said she chose Xen over the security-focused microkernels I mentioned was she wanted the power management it already had. When people told me how that worked, I told the readers that the implementation was way too complicated to trust in a secure system. Management features should be on a microcontroller sitting outside the CPU running verifiable algorithms. If on CPU, in an truly-isolated partition at the least. Also, use proper isolation on system in general to limit shared resources due to covert & side channels. Typical of separation kernels.

So, this attack happens since isolation is broken in numerous ways plus stuff is on-CPU. It was preventable but it would cost extra. The market prefers to make extra money per unit then clean up after a disaster. Everything is running right on schedule. Note that the needs of mobile might justify keeping things in the SoC but the isolation failures weren't necessary. The embedded and mobile segments have had for some time SoC support for coprocessors, accelerators for specific functions, and separation kernels. I thinking they're avoiding those to squeeze out extra profit.

If you don't want spoilers don't read discussions about creative works before you experience them. Discussions about creative works must have spoilers or they aren't interesting or useful. Why would you want to restrict people from getting deep into the interesting parts of creative works that they love? I think this spoiler idea must come from the sellers of the works, not the authors or readers/watchers. This idea must die.
Perhaps, but why is it only Exxon's fault, and not everyone who uses any form of energy based on fossil fuels? If things get that bad, I'm guessing the entire industrialized world is going to be blamed.
I've always wondered whether VOD is an inherently unsustainable business model. The big daddy in the space charges $8-12 per month yet people regularly watch upwards of 10 movies per month on the service. That's less than $1 per movie?! Also, this forces anyone doing a similar business to charge even less than that to break into the market, so there reaches a point where we're talking fractions of pennies per movie on some services. How is any of this sustainable given the massive cost of acquiring the content in the first place, and is there any VOD service with healthy profits that you can point me to?

I couldn't even transfer my free credit monitoring to someone who could actually use it. It was non-transferable. I had no use for it, as I'd opted to freeze my credit entirely.

I'm not sure which bothers me the most, the hack or the response? I do know that if I'd been responsible for spillage of classified information, I'd have gone to jail. If I'd been responsible for spilling that much classified data, I'd have never felt a ray of sunshine again.

I'm very disappointed by it. What is most disappointing is that there was no good reason for me needing the clearance, FOUO would have been fine. I can't be specific, but there was no reason my work, or the data, should have been classified. On top of that, I'd already sold my business and had retired - years prior. There was no good reason for retaining my records.

I'm currently reading about other countries that offer a government run service for credit reporting. I'm trying really hard to remain objective and unbiased, but it's really difficult.

I feel sorry for the people who are impacted by this. It's not easy to go through. I'm not sure it's quite the same, but I felt violated when I found out about the OPM hack. I felt let down, abandoned, unappreciated, and powerless. The information was some of my most private information and, worse, wasn't just about me. I felt as though it was my fault that my friends and family also had their privacy violated.

I am not that great with words, so that's about the best way I can think of to describe it. Disgusting is a good description. On a positive note, it does help me empathize with the folks impacted by this hack.

Actually, they do. Haskell calls it sequence :: (Traversable t, Monad m) => t (m a) -> m (t a) [1]

It works by consuming the structure outside the monad and rebuilding it inside. A possible implementation specialized for lists is

sequence [] = return []
sequence (h:t) = do
h' <- h
t' <- sequence t
return (h':t')

I mean, the problems faced by compiling the kernel with Clang (or any other standards-implementing C compiler). The problems are pretty easy to find, just look at the relevant commits in Clang and Linux. The main problem Clang faced with the kernel was lots of use of GNU C extensions everywhere.

I think it's self-evident that the use of proprietary, nonstandard language extensions is a bad idea. It leads to multi-year efforts getting other compilers to support "features" that aren't in the spec (and as a result, are typically underspeced by the compilers that implement them and require reverse engineering to fully understand and implement correctly). Linux isn't written in C, it's written in some other language that's deceptively similar to C. It should be enough to write a compiler that accurately implements the C standard to compile the kernel with.
Same things you can do with an RPi and/or BeagleBone black -- though without HDMI it's focused on more embedded / headless / wireless things. Think IOT.
