This. My first reaction was:

`Severe anemics might start having to carry blood packs? Schedule regular transfusions?`

It's kind of a silly question, regardless. If the whole of America went vegan at once, what would happen to the resulting last generations of overpopulation of meat and dairy cattle? Would their meat be harvested for other purposes or be allowed to rot once they died out?

There are so many variable points to even approach it hypothetically that it just gets ridiculous, and would contribute very little.
A rather arbitrary claim with nothing to back it up. For sure, Firefox made more security improvements in 2016 than it did in some of the years where they did feature it.

It requires whatever bureaucracy you already have for managing taxes. If you are going to have taxes in your country, there should be no additional bureaucratic requirements.

With UBI, it is possible to have it paid by entity other than government, but that's a different story.
It's hypothetically possible that life as we know it could exist in the dim embers of stars a trillion years from now... it would be rare, it would be weird, but it could work.

The key is to remember that you have more than one variable to play with; it's not just overall stellar output, but orbital radius as well.

> my dad also refuses to write a will - but thats another problem entirely

Another problem, yes - but a huge one all the same. Does your mother have a will?

I went thru this with my parents; my dad had a will but my mom did not. My dad passed away; no biggie. But my mom never probated his will. I didn't find this out until after she passed away - without a will.

I ended up spending quite a bit of money with a lawyer, plus more than a few trips between where I live and where my parents lived (thankfully only a few hundred miles away - but still far enough to be annoying), plus gathering documents, and a whole host of other issues.

It was not fun. The only thing that saved my butt was the fact that before my mom passed, I was able to get power of attorney (as well as medical POA), because she ultimately slipped into dementia (my wife and I caught it in the nick of time, while my mother was still coherent enough). Without that, accounts would have been frozen preventing me from taking care of my mother before she passed, and later the estate, afterward (though I had to go thru a short process to be appointed as executor).

But without a will, and my dad's will not probated, things went slowly. There were fortunately no real major assets involved (a house and a couple of old cars were the only things), plus I was an "only child" - but I still had to go thru the process of no one contesting my dad's will (I did worry that something might come up from his past or from his family), or contesting me as sole heir.

Ultimately it worked out - but it could have turned into more of a logistical nightmare than the merely annoying situation it only turned out to be.

So - I implore you to try to fix this, especially if other family or large assets are involved. If not, and you don't care about things otherwise, you might talk with a lawyer about other options. I am not sure if this is possible, but it might be possible to "reverse disown" your immediate family (mother/father). It would be a very harsh thing to do, but it may be the only thing that keeps you from being dragged down into a potential economic morass.

Antarctica Was Once Covered in Forests. We Just Found One That Fossilized
I'll start with the date and a big horizontal line.

For meetings I'll put the start time and a quick header, then some quick notes, usually not even complete sentences, I'm just scribbling things down to remember.

In deep coding, debugging, or infrastructure stuff: I'll keep short notes on infrastructure stuff, URLs, hostnames, ports, function names, file names, lots of breadcrumbs basically. This is often great the next day, where I might not really remember how I got from A to B, but all of a sudden need to make a document describing it for other people to repeat. This is the part that is most like a "lab notebook."

If I'm designing something new or exploring something, I'll often sketch system diagrams or the like. I'll maybe try to diagram flow between components, user steps, basic algorithm steps, etc. Think design document, version -1.

I'll often intersperse TODOs as well, which I'll try to quickly migrate to something real (Jira here at work, or my iPhone tasks list.) I don't use it for task tracking, although I used to do that.

How can you meaningfully experiment with UBI if the “BI” is not even universal? My understanding is that many of the criticisms of UBI are based on externalities that would only become manifest in a meaningfully large population. For example, price increases and inflation might arise from everyone having extra money.

If you’re only testing UBI on a small population, then 1) it’s not even universal, and 2) there will not be enough “beta testers” to (in)validate these criticisms.

So while this may be a “success” (how do you even measure that?) it’s not a meaningful experiment at all.

Believe it or not. I have looked at this and it's now on my roadmap. As with the business that I am launching, there are additional services to come online. I'll either start my own ICO or using another coin is part of that. Whichever is the path of least resistance!

I have seen that no limit coin can be purchased by Visa and there are stores in the US that take that for physical products.

So as Mike Tyson says: "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

Believe me, I've been punched quite often on this journey of mine. I'll happily investigate every path available.

I was wondering why I wasn't noticing the problem the author talked about.
First day: "Hey welcome to the team hope you got everything setup when you have a minute do you mind going through your contacts we cannot find any good engineers lately."

Me: "Ookaay.. thanks? Sure here are 5 people I've studied and/or worked with. They're literally rockstars. I personally vouch for them and I know most of them are in the market and interested."

"Hmm they look too junior thanks anyway."

One month later: after spending plenty of time interviewing and rejecting some wildly overqualified candidates because they're not culture fits, hiring manager brings in their "80% but can get the job done" (that is a quote no joke) friend from previous job. Or they bing on a far more expensive contractor.

Meanwhile my five recommendations all get hired at competing or peer companies.

This has happened in some form or another at most every place I've worked. To date I'm extremely disillusioned with the "tech" hiring process. I've seen everything from perfectly qualified candidates getting rejected because the interviewer woke up on the wrong side of the bed and, in the span of less than an hour, developed a vendetta against the candidate, to plain old nepotism. I've even seen people vote to pass because they wanted the job the candidate came in for and thought they could do a better job even though there were no plans for such an arrangement to ever happen. I've seen interviewers fail a candidate because they couldn't solve a problem the interviewer (who is in a marginally related domain) was having trouble with last week and wasn't making progress on because google didn't have a copy paste answer.

Interviewing is entirely subjective. Humans are humans. They only person that truely matters at the end of the day WRT interviewing is the hiring manager and maybe their boss.

Edit: I forgot my main point, excuse the rant. The point is I don't see how the industry is going to overcome this hurdle when it's neigh impossible for a front line engineer to bring in good people who wouldn't already appeal to whatever processes/humans are in place--which clearly isn't working because they can't find good engineers.

Suppose I bought my house for $1M and prices are stable. I can sell my $1M house and buy a different $1M house and the net cost to me is 6% agent fees.

But if prices have doubled now the net cost to me is much higher. The agent fees are double what they were, and I have to pay cap gains on $500k. All that is money I have to come up with somehow in order to complete the transaction. I either have to write a check, or take on more debt. The higher prices go, the more expensive a lateral move becomes.

Yes, I have more home equity if prices go up, but that only helps me if I cash out and move out of the area.
It's simple to administer and it gives people more warm fuzzies when everyone gets it, and removes a bit of the stigma of state aid.

IMHO, YMMV etc.
Kruptos 2 Professional Activation Code 2018 and Crack Full Version
It's quite possible that the NIT would use less bureaucracy than the UBI because UBI would have it's own separate bureaucracy and doesn't eliminate the need for the department of revenue, whereas the NIT would just use the department of revenue for both.

Either way, both require little extra bureaucracy.
Negative income tax is not necessarily progressive tax system (as that word is commonly understood), and negative income paid to you by the state is not a "bracket".

It is pretty much the same thing as UBI, when you look at the numbers.

I just skimmed through the article, but the gist seems to be: download this app in large numbers, we will use your phone as bitcoin miners and use the mined coins to pay for bail.

This is just so fucking absurd. The problem with bail is not a technological one, its a legislative one. I think Kamala Harris has taken the right steps and publicly stated how absurd it is that we jail so many fellow citizens for being poor (or unable to furnish bail money).

Overpromised technology hurts the people who try to use it but also erodes trust in technologists. I can't believe this has survived the smell test. If I missed something, please do let me know.
Absolutely! Live Share allows developers to quickly/easily collaborate with each other, while continuing to use their pre-configured editor, which includes themes, key maps, extensions, etc. This way, everyone can feel completely at home while working together.
> Static linking makes portability a breeze. I don’t know why this idea was lost in virtually every scripting language from the past 20 years.

Because they are invented at a time before storage and RAM is dirt cheap and lightning fast. It was painfully wasteful and slow to load a copy of the standard library for every process. Dynamic linking was invented basically because static linking wasn’t feasible.
I've tried both, because as an IT guy it made sense to use, you know, computerized tools. But as a DBA, I live and die by checklists and multi-column quick reference tables. I find these are much easier to create, maintain, and update on paper than they are in Notepad++, for example. I also trained myself to use the mouse with my left hand so I can write with the other, and so it's a lot less disruptive to my workflow and train of thought than having to jump back and forth between multiple app windows. My current favorite is the Leichtturm (sp?) 1917 with the dot grid.
No, it should be slightly faster as outlying areas get more central (relatively speaking) as cities grow.
I have the same problem. In time, I found notebooks to be rather useless as lab notebooks for this reason.

I now use notebooks only transiently, for running a few experiments, but not as lasting documentation. Instead, I copy a summary of my experiments and findings into a journal, and delete the notebook once it has done its job.

The journal is then my true research notebook. It contains experiments, results, code examples, future tasks, ideas, and a daily summary of how I spent my time. Particularly, I use org-journal on Emacs, but any old journal would do.

Looking at GhostText and its editor integration scripts, those basically work by running a websocket server on localhost. Implementing access controls seems to be left as an exercise for the reader.

If I understand the native messaging API correctly, nothing in there requires the presence of any networking daemon. The browser just execs a program you can communicate with using JSON messages on stdin/stdout. That is already a lot better than I thought.
Brexit: The Russian Job
The Pascal language is not case sensitive, nor, as far as I know, are any of its variants. From my experience with Delphi/Object Pascal back in the day, nobody capitalized keywords. You can see an example of typical code with lowercase keywords here:

Astrobe, doing Oberon related business for ARM Cortex-M3, Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M7 microcontrollers and Xilinx FPGA Systems since 1997.

MikroElektronika, selling Pascal and Basic compilers for all sort of microcontrollers and embedded platforms also since 1997.

Embarcadero is still selling Delphi.

The keywords are not much more clunky than SQL ones, and no one is required to write them as such, unless they enjoy using editors without auto-formatting capabilities.

That is an awful wikipedia page. How can that even make sense? As soon as people start predicting things it is impossible to test the prediction?

Also, the intro of that page contains blatantly incorrect statements:

>"In the significance testing approach of Ronald Fisher, a null hypothesis is rejected if the observed data are significantly unlikely to have occurred if the null hypothesis were true. In this case the null hypothesis is rejected and an alternative hypothesis is accepted in its place."

There is no alternative hypothesis in Fisher's significance testing.

You're right, I thought the parent was complaining about higher property taxes, not that property taxes would increase if they were to move to a similarly valued house.

That does disincentivize moving into an equally valued house, but moving into that house would have the parent paying about ~2% of X each year in property taxes as opposed to ~1% of X. The appreciation of the house still covers the increase in property taxes for the next 75 years.

We would not be sun-transiting to them, at least at the moment: the current declination of Ross 128 happens to be less than 1 degree [1], meaning it's near the celestial equator rather than near the ecliptic. Since the ecliptic plane is at 23.5 degrees to the equator, they would see the Sol-Earth system tilted at that angle: much too large to be sun-transiting.
