> When I lived there the place was infested by young people doing tons of drugs and partying in the common areas

The impression I get is that these are living arrangements for people who enjoyed shared accommodation at university and would quite like to continue it. Not so much living without loneliness, but continuing and/or maximising their youthful capacity to live as they'd like. I don't necessarily have a problem with that if it doesn't impinge on others, although it feels a bit like they're just paying to shortcut access to a hedonistic theme park rather than making their own way. It might be a stretch to say this, but there's something slightly Westworld about it.
The author advocates adding previously invalid extensions to the spec as they come up, as an alternate way to handle 'robustness'. How would this not rapidly lead to a bloated, buggy, unmaintainable spec?

> The reason this is not happening is that dismantling the existing bureaucracy is highly disruptive and will be hugely unpopular.

And partly because it's not clear a basic income is actually better in practice. It's a huge change to how society operates, so it's hard to predict what effects it will have. I think a conservative approach that starts with small trials makes more sense than dismantling a large government bureaucracy that employs lots of people.

Doesn't appear to be any evidence that there is any 'AI' behind the account. It's simply a pretty greasy company[0] using CGI and copywriters to build a persona that the company can own and sell to brands as an 'influencer'.

Advertising just got a whole lot more sinister. Think about how AI could actually be used to generate micro-targeted virtual influencers. People don't even seem to care too much that Miquela is artificial, she echos back her audiences opinions, hardening their world views in such a convincing way that it's easy to forget that behind her profile is a business. I guess this isn't really too different from real life influencers who are paid to promote brands, but you have to bare in mind these virtual influencers can be spun up on demand to fill any need. The future is a strange, strange place.

> The dichotomy between "Western values" and alternate, "cultural" values is specious

I strongly disagree, although I'm glad that you're willing to state the case so plainly. Are you saying that there are literally no cultures out there (whether modern or traditional) that disagree with the West on such fundamental questions like 'how should people be ruled?' or 'what is justice?'

One example of incompatibility would be how the Islamic tradition explicitly calls for the union of religion and state into theocratic government. This directly contradicts freedom of religion.

This goes to the crux of what I would say is the modern-day form of chauvinism—the implicit assumption that, say, all peoples throughout the world desire liberal democracy along formal Western lines. We've seen repeatedly how this naivite can result in disaster in, say, Russia, Afghanistan, or Iraq.

> All cultures are not created equal

Unless I'm misreading, you are immediately contradicting what you said above—so there are cultures that fundamentally disagree with the Western liberal order (including, perhaps, some people in the West who still call themselves Christians).

So then the question becomes, what gives you the right to judge other people? And if you are OK with judging others, then why can't they turn around and judge you and say that you are wrong instead? Are you willing to impose your values by military force in the case of disagreement?

> Freedom, by definition, means the ability to choose what is more important for you

Well, let's say China claims that their people have no use for Western-style democracy and human rights and that the Chinese civilization prefers to go its own way, plus then China does some things that the West finds objectionable (locking up dissidents?).

From the perspective of the West, it would appear to me that the choices are:

1. Outright reject that it's the legitimate will of Chinese people (the denial that other peoples can reject a Western conception of universal human rights; e.g. their people must truly desire rights but they are oppressed. This is chauvinism by definition—other people can't possibly choose something other than Western norms)

1a. ... and rectify this situation by force (we will take on the White Man's burden and free them ... from theirselves). I presume you'd find this choice distasteful.

1b. ... let things be for the sake of peace (we will lecture you on how you're wrong, but do nothing concrete).

2. Accept the legitimacy of non-liberal political systems (but if it's OK for China, then why not for other places?)

I think all of these choices are ultimately distasteful to a modern liberal.
Is it really true that much of the spending goes on bureaucracy? In the UK the depatment of work and pensions spent £167 billion in 2012, of which £6.4b was spend on departmental and operational delivery costs. Admittedly this is still a large amount, but it does allow targeted spending, which might have some advantages too.

You got downvoted, but here's what the UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights said about the US: http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?Ne...

"3. The United States is one of the world’s richest, most powerful and technologically innovative countries; but neither its wealth nor its power nor its technology is being harnessed to address the situation in which 40 million people continue to live in poverty."

"6. American exceptionalism was a constant theme in my conversations. But instead of realizing its founders’ admirable commitments, today’s United States has proved itself to be exceptional in far more problematic ways that are shockingly at odds with its immense wealth and its founding commitment to human rights. As a result, contrasts between private wealth and public squalor abound."

As an American I can't agree more.

>I tend to think of basic income as the former without the absolutely massive bureaucratic overhead.

That isn't true though. The "universal" part makes it completely different. The only reason we are talking about basic income is because of major shifts in the workforce. It is about a new alternative to jobs if automation supposedly takes them all away. This is different to the current system, which is designed for a small subset of people who do not have the ability to work.
You see the same jump at the same time in some other countries, such as Norway and Canada. I would guess that's down to a measurement adjustment on the part of Akamai, enabling them to see more adoption that they had been missing.

People are lazy and will wait for absolutely the last moment: "why should I spend time configuring my network when I still can purchase IPv4?" This was especially bad because vendors and ISPs had the same attitude, so even when there was someone willing to do the work, those parties stayed in the way.

I actually see great parallels about Python 2 vs 3. The changes between these versions aren't really big, and converting is not that hard. Other languages already did it many times (Ruby actually did it when switching from 1.8 to 1.9, but people moved on quickly, because if they didn't, their apps and libraries no longer would work and no one would use them).

IMHO the real cause was that Python gave a lot of time to do it (nearly 15 years!), but there was no real interest in Py3 until 2015 when Python 2.7 went into maintenance mode (no new features backported, BTW all features of Python 2.7 were backports of Python 3, fueling "Python 3 doesn't have anything new, what should I switch?"), and organizations most likey will wait until 2020 (EOL) to port their applications.

I had similar problems when my hair was long, but I really don't think it's comparable to what black people face. Being white, my problems went away when I cut my hair, nighttime walks or no. And black people get harassed day and night, so I think anti-nocturnalism is a small, small part of the problem, not the root.

You might be using IPv6 and not even know it (if you have a smart phone or residential internet access, chances are that you already are using it). And that's how it supposed to be, it would never be a concern of a user.
I think part of the point here is that you are not just answering OP's question, which may or may not be an example of an XY problem. You're also answering everyone who searches answers using similar terms to those the OP used.

For example, let's say the title of the question is, "How do I reformat my hard drive on linux?" and the body of the question is "I accidentally screwed up my upgrade of Ubuntu by <doing XYZ> and now it won't boot. Can I reformat the hard drive and install again so I can boot?" If your answer is "Are you sure you need to reformat? Have you tried <solution to XYZ>?" then you may be solving OP's root problem but you will be making a useless landing page for anyone searching "How do I reformat a hard drive on linux?"

Not if we're currently locally optimized. Then it would seem worse before it seemed better.

I'm not particularly for or against the idea for my own sake. However, I do think it's going to be inevitable sooner or later. Whether it's a good fit for us right now, I can't determine.

In my opinion, experiments are needed not in order to determine whether it should be implemented or not, but how it should be done, and in what form. When the level of unemployment starts leading to riots, we'd better prepare with something other than weapons and harsh measures.
I don't really think that there's a general concept of fair price. I'll come back to the idea that the typical user for your product has probably spent several thousands of dollars on their system. Because the context is productivity, the value of your product to them is not tied to being cheap. It is tied to making the person more productive. For the target user, how much is staying in flow worth over the course of a year?

It isn't a consumer app. It's not going to sell a million copies over two years. Maybe at $4.00 it sells at thousand copies. That means supporting a 1000 users for $4000. At $40.00 maybe it sells 80 copies. $3200 to support 80 users isn't great, but those 80 users made a hard decision based on ROI not low cost. It means that they are more likely to be happy with what it does and live with what it doesn't do. Because all it needs to do is what it says it will do for those users. And $40 is not a lot of money for a productivity boost. $400 isn't either...but that might be stretching it.

Anyway, at $40.00-$400.00 it makes economic sense to talk to every customer, and for what they paid they will not find it objectionable. Anyway, this is something with very low network effects. One user buying it doesn't add value for the next person buying it. Raw numbers of users don't really matter. At best, there's word of mouth benefit from users. That means the product and experience need to be really really good.

This is undoubtedly cool, but seems like a red herring. Not knocking your experiences and all, it’s great that you like it. But it is reminiscent of every cartoon ever where the bed makes itself and brushes the protagonists’ teeth. Or the Earnest movies from the 80’s where he has a Rube Goldberg machine rigged up to make him breakfast. All of this ‘automation’ is feasible with simple wiring-50’s technology. And much more ‘smart’ with x10 tech from the 80’s/90’s. The premise then is that there is a huge, unknown, pent-up demand for this type of thing from non-technical people who wouldn’t have been able to rig up a home automation system in the past. Anecdotally I’m not sure I see it, and more analytically it seems like the less ‘techie’ you are, the less you crave this type of automation. In other words, there is a diminishing return by making this type of thing more accessible. I’m not sure if this level of automation is a game changer. However, put a generation or two more advanced tech in a robot and you have Judy from the Jetsons, and that I think may change the picture. But we’re not quite there yet

With physical SIMs you need a SIM from a network in order to join that network. With eSIMs (hypothetically) you'll be able to join without a physical token.

If you switch carriers you don't need to visit a store for a new physical SIM, your SIM is "virtually" switched to the new network seamlessly and instantly. Your new network would just blast some data to your phone and you're connected.

If you buy a new phone and your new phone uses nano SIM and your old phone has a bigger micro SIM, you don't have to visit the store for a new SIM, just register your new phone online with a mouse click.
