I’m sure from a business perspective 1Password X was also designed with the intent to close the free/standalone funnel and convert those with standalone onto the hosted/paid plan. It’s all about the MRR and I don’t blame them. I’d do the same thing if I was CEO. The money to pay for this R&D/engineering has to come from somewhere.
UBI doesn't send money in, it redistributes it.

And if solving economic problems were as simple as "just take more money from the rich people and give it to the poor people," this problem would have been solved centuries ago.
Well, it shows that there is a non-zero probability of the key being leaked or breached. And if the key can open everything, that's a consequence big enough that we need to think seriously about it happening.

"Trust us, we'll keep it secret" has been empirically proven to be not as true as they want us to believe.
Not necessarily. Increased demand solely from cash injections in an economy will increase prices without an increase in investments, since those investing can't know if the cash injections will continue or not.

So it will lead to short-term inflation, and without the long-term investments in production, that inflation will continue for as long as the injections continue.

As the cash injections aren't universal, those who receive it will benefit, while the ones who don't will see their purchasing power drop significantly, and their lives worsen.
There's a few guys I watch consistently. I want them to keep making stuff and I would feel bad if they stopped. I haven't donated because I don't have any money to throw around at the moment, but once I get some disposable income, being able to give back money to the people I've enjoyed watching and sort of pretend-hanging-out-with would make me feel less indebted.
How is that better for the employee, though? All that's happened is that the employee took a substantial pay cut in exchange for having serious risk placed on them. Risk which is extremely tilted against them.

This is also ignoring the fact that most companies will dilute the hell out of your options, so even if the company does make it, odds are you'll just have broken even from working for a regular company.
I would like to hijacked this post to also mention Liberapay (https://liberapay.com) which is a fork of GitTip and ran by one of the original devs. I like it because it is a small, independent competitor to Patreon. It seems more suited to things that are not "art" or "internet celebrity", e.g. open source projects or political initiatives. It is like GitTip before the name change to Gratipay in that you don't need concrete rewards and it also funds individuals. (IIRC Gratipay introduced those changes to get around "money transferrer" laws that didn't allow them to send money no-strings-attached to individuals. Liberapay gets around this by being in EU jurisdiction).

It's still pretty small, but looks cool, and I'd love to see it succeed.

The story about the girl in the bathtub was filled with a lot of rumors. In the end, the girl may have touched a frayed electrical cord after she dropped the phone in the tub. Electroboom has a video of him explaining this likely cause on his Youtube. I would link it but Youtube is blocked at work.
That's one inference, but is it plausible? It's not exactly like courts and prosecutors are cracking down on lobbying right now. Also, the National Association of Realtors is spending about double what Google and AT&T are spending now. There is headroom to spend more without ending up at the top of the list. Also, have you ever even seen these lobbying figures cited in any news media? What mechanism is creating this backpressure?
>What is infinitely more toxic than 'complaining' about first world problems

That's just like, your opinion man.

>Complaining about the ergonomics

Look, complaining about work is a typical first world problem, sure. And of course we're all lucky to do the work we do and not live in [wherever.]

Complaining about 20% taxes on $200k of a ~$700k windfall is truly more like a .00001% issue and is pretty obtuse by any measure.

You wouldn't raise an eyebrow, or have any negative reaction to someone making $400k / year bitterly complaining that they have to pay taxes on it? I don't know anyone who wouldn't think that was obnoxious.

>he was describing the economics of his choices.

Sort of, in a fairly facile and borderline deceptive manner.
As good as you can afford would be fine. The problem is mortgages and the fact that people are buying more than they can afford. They're buying as much as they will be able to afford over the next 30 years. We've developed a system were some people make large amounts of money by creating the fiction that housing should be as expensive as it is.

There's a lot of evidence that shows that for every dollar of loans made available to students, the price of education rises, and that's a system without supply/demand dynamics since admissions aren't (supposed to be) based on a bidding process. It seems only reasonable to conclude that the availability of mortgages has similarly increased the price of housing. It's a hidden cost of our housing market that banks (and a few others) profit by. The banks loan fictional money, created out of thin air thanks to fractional lending requirements, and collect a percentage of that back every year on a house that only costs what it does because of that loan. Without mortgages, people would be forced to save up and the price of housing would be governed more by the cost of actually constructing houses and the amount that people were able to save before buying rather than a percentage of their income over the next 30 years.

Think, for example, if banks decided to change the standard loan time from 30 years to 40 years. What would happen to housing prices in areas with somewhat constrained supply? Homebuyers would still look at monthly payments and buy as much house as they could afford. So housing prices would increase accordingly and instead of mortgaging 30 years of our futures, we'd be mortgaging 40. We'd be buying the same houses and banks would be making more money. Change 30 years to 20 years and you'd get a similar drop in housing prices.

More than any other thing that we spend money on these days, housing prices have been decoupled from their cost of production and banks are largely the ones skimming that difference between what housing should cost and what it actually costs.

Honestly curious - how is this fun? I try to eat less meat for a personal medical reason and finding non-meat dishes is a hassle, and at some restaurants it's impossible.
Agreed. The military can be a fine gap couple of years. My brother did that after a year of college and he was already doing quite well. The mistake he made was a 4 year enlistment which is a long time when you are young. And then there's inactive reserve. And then there's the backdoor draft that Bush+Cheney used in the GWOT. So while it can be a fine choice, be careful.

RE: Myth 2. The theory I’ve heard is that women choose those lower paying fields because they want the flexibility those field offer as that makes child rearing easier. More government support for child care and longer school hours would therefore make it possible for more women to go into more demanding and higher paying fields.

I also suspect that many men choose higher paying and “harder” fields because they’re expecting that it will make them more desirable to women. Women don’t feel that same pressure. In other words, rich men are more willing to marry a teacher or social worker. Rich women, not so much—they want to marry someone even richer.
Now it’s time for us to do our jobs, and wait to learn.

They will never learn anything from this experiment as long as they keep hiding where does the money come from. Let's not fool ourselves : if UBI is implemented, money will come from taxpayers citizens, and will increase the power of governments over our lives.

For good arguments against UBI, cf Hazlitt : https://fee.org/articles/income-without-work/ .

- UBI is not a right because it would mean some have a duty to work and transfer wealth to others.
- Costs are always badly estimated. Proponents of UBI obviously never look at the big picture
- There's no such a thing as "living in dignity", more is always welcomed
- Old social welfare benefits will never die
- Money can't flow from rich people for a long period of time. They either stop having money or emigrate in others countries
> I think this general idea, popular though it is, is troubling. At 17 years old, what kid knows what their life passion will be?

Well, they don't, of course; that's why so many of them end up changing their majors. At least it's a better ideal than asking 17-year-old kids to anticipate what the job market will be like in four years.

> Why do we expect people to work a "whole lifetime" doing stuff they don't really want to do?

How many people would be doing the exact same job they're doing now if they had no need for the money? It's not zero percent, but it's certainly not 100 percent either.
Firing is not the only administrative action available to an employer. You can also issue a formal warning, send the employee to training, etc.

Then, if it happens again, fire the employee. All depending on what the impact was.

Way to present a nuanced issue as a seemingly clear-cut case of governmental oppression. It's pretty solidly ingrained in America that a properly-issued warrant should be enough to get law enforcement whatever evidence it needs. Encryption also breaks this fundamental principle, and contrary to popular belief, not everyone who is against government surveillance is necessarily cool with this implication of law enforcement being unable to do its job through the properly established legal means.

Correct. Here is why -- according to the Koran it itself is the only and final container of truth as provided directly by their god. Hence, why read other books, or bother translating them from other languages?

In the 11th and 12th century Moslem leaders were confronted with a choice -- tolerate and encourage scholars of reason, such as Averroes, who were inspired by their reading of Ancient Greek texts; or enforce adherence to faith in the one, holy book and god as the single explanation of all phenomena. They chose faith (and force) over reason. Averroes lived, and suffered opposition, through that period.

Procedure, Begin/End don't come from Cobol. They come from Algol. Wirth worked on Algol-W which is a predecessor language of Pascal.

Cobol postdates Algol so it doesn't make sense to see it as the source of the keyword-based syntax of the Algol and Algol derived languages.
The US doesn't track people early into career-focused educations but prefers a broader - or depending on your viewpoint, less focused - education.

For example, someone studying computer science in college may be required to also take courses in fine arts, history, and English literature.

This can feel like a waste of time for those who are definite that they want, say, a CS degree. I think the US should have more technical/career colleges, along with a higher respect for them.

But it can also give more options to change fields as an adult.
It could compliment it, not replace may be.
Do we have the technology yet that could even discover a planet the same size and distance as earth from a star similar to the sun?

Maybe the post should state what "UBI" means.
But, will it happen ? Are laws implemented according to the proposals ? Of course the most urgent thing will be to implement UBI. And then to raise it. No one will think about deleting previous welfare benefits
1)
How do you mean it isn't "universal"? My understand is that this initiative is universal within these communities? Are you saying that there is no meaningful way to test UBI without jumping immediately into a global program?

2)
6000 is a pretty good sample size. Given that this will be universal within these communities, we can certainly look for any evidence of local price changes.
You're thinking of a different quality. Willingness to defend oneself is normal and admirable. "Honor" as defined in Dutch's essay is something else entirely. It's about willingness to kill for an insult. That's despicable in both individuals and nations.

I have used Django and Ember together for a couple of projects, and having to define model classes twice is extremely wasteful in a large application. Not to mention having to use a third library for client-side validation (Ember does not do validations out-of-the-box), even though Django has most (if not all) the information needed for thorough validation sitting on the server.

In lieu of code-sharing, Django REST Framework does have schema generation support, but no major client-side framework supports it yet.

I disagree. In fact, given the regular loss of online credentials, I think you are misguided in your faith in a hosted password solution. There are plenty of people that do not want to for very good reasons.

As far as syncing using non-hosted 1Password, I use a combination of wifi sync (for mobile devices) and Resilio (in local sync only mode, no tracker, no cloud copy a la Dropbox) to sync. Works very nicely across 5 or 6 devices and fits my use case of syncing only when my devices are on the same network.

> At least it's a better ideal than asking 17-year-old kids to anticipate what the job market will be like in four year

At virtually any time in modern history, majoring in engineering is going to be more lucrative than majoring in History or English. Accounting, mathematics, law, etc. all have pretty high likelihood of continuing to be lucrative fields. Let's also not discount trade schools. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC workers, masons, etc. make solid livings, and get to start their careers ~4 years earlier. These are good options that we often neglect / look down upon.

> How many people would be doing the exact same job they're doing now if they had no need for the money? It's not zero percent, but it's certainly not 100 percent either.

Yea. I assume it's much closer to 0 than than 100 percent.

The problem is that the comment provides nothing else. You can do the same thing in a more civil and constructive way. Just look at your comments. You are providing logic and rationale for your argument. I don't agree with you, but you're adding to the discussion. Now compare that to "I'm sick of you people. Stop whining about other people's comments you big baby". Someone can correct me, but that doesn't belong here and that rule has been around since the beginning of HN.

There may be an issue with government control, but I think the "how is it funded" is a bigger problem: an experiment were the money comes from a different society is not going to model the effects of the taxes needed to fund it. You're not seeing a major downside of the policy, which is the deadweight loss induced by having all those work/investment acts taxed more.

(I know, "people still work", "people still invest". That's not the problem. The problem is the marginal unit of labor/investment, and quantifying how that compares to the benefit of the UBI.)

There's also, of course, the issue of how much gets eaten away by higher rents, which everyone just assumes away.
