It's important to emphasize that right now, the responsible thing is to perform extensive experiments on how UBI will affect work incentives. There are lots of unknowns, and this will give us some information to formulate later questions, once results are actually reported.

2.2 million people is typical enough, I'd say... And it is fine, as long as you actually have somewhere to charge. Where I live (and that's SV, not exactly boondocks) nearest charging station would be 15-20 minutes walking, each way. Costs more than just using gas, too. People commuting 50+ miles would likely have even tougher time finding a nice charger, unless they have their own home and can charge at home EV rate.
Probably "Dr Strangelove". Everyone knows that we didn't have the adequate technology to make movies starring one person in three different roles in 1964. Peter Sellers was cloned for the three separate roles in "The Mouse That Roared" in 1959, and then two of the clones were murdered once the "Dr Strangelove" was completed. Both movies were filmed on a sound stage controlled and built by the CIA.
This is a cool technique and super interesting. My little rtl-sdr dongle just became more powerful.

At the same time, I hope this doesn't result in abuse of the spectrum followed by tightened regulations on the cheap dongles.

It's quite arrogant to outright assume Fins are so stupid as to not have thought of this.
Your assumptions are wrong, or you have confusion based on wording. By definition, net profit is after taxes and expenses. By definition, one always keeps 100% of net profits. If by "profit" you meant "gross profit" (i.e. after cost of goods, but before other expenses and taxes), I think that would go a long ways to explaining your confusion. A small increase in your net profit margin usually causes a large increase in net income (net profit), because expenses are typically a very large percentage of revenue.
I'm curious if "stop working" is an appropriate measure of the potential downsides. Especially in a place like HN where work on side-projects that could become real businesses are encouraged.
Nothing about what I said inherently disincentivizes work.
> I'd be curious to hear a proposal on how Apple could implement an E2E encrypted messaging service in a way that it would be impossible for them to circumvent it in the future via a software update.

Open source. And for really impossible also open hardware.
I'd imagine at the scale Wikipedia is operating, they'd have to be sensitive about accessibility features. Some might find it hard to keep the pointer at a compete stop and the 500ms timer seems to do the job pretty well.
Presumably you see where they take off and where they are headed for its pretty straight forward. Current ICBM's seem to have "relatively" minor down range maneuverability so once you're ballistic you can plot a big circle of where you can land. Is that near a spaceport? cool. Is it near a missile silo? better check into it.

Bombers are the same way, there is nothing that prevents building a nuclear bomber in the shell of a 747 and calling it a cargo plane on its transponder.

And we will run this all on nebulet, an OS being written for a pure web assembly user space [0].

But seriously, you say this like it's horrible, but a bytecode/VM that allows us to abstract over code that runs in a browser/code that runs a native app/code that runs in a device driver is really exciting. The fact that it allows infinite nesting is a inevitable mildly beneficial side effect to having interoperability.

Nuclear killed a ridicules little amount of people compared to many other things even if we included nuclear bombs. Even fukushima is as big a catastrophe as many like to claim.

It's far greener than especially solar, there is almost no waste and most of it can be reused in new reactors. Problem is that it's toxic to be pro-nucleaer in this day and age. And new reactors saftemechanism are done via physics which makes the "china syndrome" impossible.

Agree we need more investment and focus on nuclear but not holding my hopes to hight in this current political environment.
In the screenshots shown in the link you can see that it detects plenty of "disguised" Loss images.

That's not how macroeconomics works.

If everyone got it and it was funded by expanding the money supply it would be inflation plus redistribution (since the new money is distributed uniformly instead of e.g. to government bondholders). If you're funding it with taxes, it's plain redistribution.
When I worked in IT, the standard technique Western employers used to practise discrimination was to use independent recruiters to place job adverts and vet candidates before they were forwarded to the employer. When the recruiter and employer had an informal conversation a little later, perhaps over lunch, the employer would casually let slip that "if the new employee could speak another language, she would be able to interact easier with prospective clients", which the recruiter took mental note of before changing the subject.

But perhaps things are different nowadays.
There is a big difference between "getting free money forever" and "getting free money for some time" (1-2 years or so, at least in my country). Especially, if you have a family you definitely not want to risk running out of welfare.
Which 'popular solutions' did you review? We used aspnetboilerplate.com for our multi tenancy SaaS app
> How about major components (engines, transmssions, drivetrains)?

Yes.
That was my first impression too. Feels a bit like Webforms done 'right', taking the best part of webforms (page organisation, view-to-code co-location) and the best part of MVC (closer to raw HTTP, no guff around viewstate or pretensions at not being stateless etc).

I didn't know MS was advocating it as the default choice for server side apps however. Does MVC just become a vehicle for exposing rest APIs then? MVC and Razer Pages can co-locate in the same project without issue.
> In a world with targeted advertising and unprecedented advertising I'm confident basic income would be counter productive for those who actually need it.

Forgive me if this wasn't your intention, but it seems like you're asserting that poorer people are uniquely unable to determine their needs?

> If giving everyone X works, why not 2X? 3X?

The amount you give people relative to their income in aggregate affects the economy, right? If you gave everyone $12,000 a year, the consequences would be vastly different than if you gave everyone $12,000,000,000,000 a year.
Universal basic income makes sense if you are spending a lot of money on people already:

- crime prevention

- justice system (the state gives you a free attorney if you cannot pay for one)

- jail is more expensive than an expensive hotel

- people without shelter going to hospital emergency rooms

The idea is that by giving them money they would get back on their feet. Some people don't care though.

Personally I think it should not be universal, and that there should be certain amount of merit to apply for it.
This has always been the case with homebrew/jailbreak scenes, from the PSP to the PS3/PS4, to iOS, etc.

There will always be squabbles among the different people and groups involved with finding exploits or developing jailbreak/"hack" "kits".

Following from that, there will also always be people who want to jailbreak only to pirate games and there will also be groups who want to disclose the exploits properly, or use them purely for research and non-piracy fun purposes.

Is it not one of their aims to make it always reversible?
There's a whole sub culture around it that has been on Hacker News for a decade.

Go look up people like Basecamp/37 signals/DHH and Amy Hoy/Stacking the bricks. Loads of articles about bootstrapping. Another one who wrote about this a lot was Buffer, but they changed their tune and took funding.

There's just less entrepreneur stories these days on HN so you don't see much about it, to me HN has shifted its focus these last few years from starting businesses in tech to tech company news and programming.
I don't know if I'd call it the path of least resistance as the other commenter did, but it is definitely about how to control the default messaging app without pissing off carriers (in particular) and OEMs (to a lesser extent). They could have strong armed them through the play services agreement, but they decided the carrot was better than the stick here, even if it meant making some compromises.
Unfortunately there's not really a meaningful amount of game. Even a relatively small portion of the current population hunting for sustenance would demolish that resource.

Cannibals would of course have a ready supply of food.
Morrowind is sufficiently broken, in the best possible and most fun way, that any character can become a god. Abusing alchemy, 1pt levitate spears, doors, the teleportation shrine in Vivec, or infinite potions can be done by any class.

It's incredibly impressive that a game can have hundreds of hours of content, yet be speedran in 7 minutes.
> You'd be surprised though, most parents have at least 20-30k saved up.

Most American households couldn't come up with $1k in an emergency, much less "20-30k saved up to go in on an investment". Plus, they'll already have jobs themselves, and you're suggesting adding an additional one on top of that? I hope they're getting paid well off that
Then it's not really a question of some implicit bias is it... sounds more like ulterior motives
The bulk of their cost is capital, not labour.
I recall we were shown something like this a while ago in an embedded systems class. Engineers can basically build their engine/flight/you-name-it control software from boxes they click together. Some are inputs (sensors), some are outputs (actuators), other mash those together (tasks) - so you get a graph-based model of your system. And a compiler builds structured C code from it.
I was told - so this is just hear-say! - that it's not uncommon for the engineers working with these tools to be well qualified domain experts, but rather poor programmers.

What I want to say is: This no-code stuff the article is mentioning as cool and agile and all - that is already in existence for nearly 20 years; and that's only one tool I accidentally happen to know of.
The author just adds "agile", "cloud" and "disruptive" to a yesterdays idea/technology.

(I should disrupt myself now from the thought how a WYSIWYG web editor is an cloud based tool using a no-code way to generate HTML from your text; and in most cases that probably even qualifies as agile...)
>That would mean that 80% of your code is completely untested

That is not always a bad thing. Maybe depending on the application this 80% is trivial and never breaks. It is explained in anti-pattern 4 that you should start with the critical code first.

>Most organizations I've worked with recommend at least 80% statement coverage, as a rule of thumb

This number is making MANY assumptions.

I would demand different code coverage from an application that runs on a nuclear reactor and from an application that is used as point of sale in a small pizza restaurant.
Locality sensitive hashing (what you describe) is really useful for clustering and doing nearest-neighbor searches. Its used in digital fingerprinting, genome sequencing, and other interesting areas.

I know this is humblebragging. But all this financial uber-engineering seems a little over the top. Just staying out of San Francisco is one helluva head start.
Despite the year in the title, this is really a (2014) obituary for a New York Times Linotype operator who died in 2014 and was profiled in a 1978 documentary.
If there’s a need for spectrum enforcement, then people should be out doing it. There’s definitely enough money made from government granted spectrum monopolies to pay for it!

The idea that you’re pushing here, that there should be varying degrees of a radio equipment prohibition is anti-knowledge and only serves to strengthen the spectrum monopoly businesses.
As the article said the results will be released next year.
Yeah, another interesting aspect of UBI would be how many would quit their existing job and just subsist on UBI.

The real fear of most against UBI seems to be that the majority will quit their jobs, resulting in the government losing way more in income tax than they pay out in UBI.

A few years ago, my favorite writers and artists had personal blogs. Today, many of them have moved to Instagram, Twitter and/or Facebook, making them inconvenient or impossible to follow using RSS.

Apart from the migration to walled gardens, I also think it's a problem that 99% of web users haven't heard of RSS.
I'm glad Gwynne is talking about this rather than Elon as I always take what Elon says with a large grain of "execution" salt (as in sure you can do that but not when you think you can).

Things will be very different when BFRs are flying regularly. BFRs imply full reusability, and full reusability implies a short 'cycle' time, which implies a much greater earth to orbit capacity, with implies a greater supply and more reliability to orbit, which implies that it stops being crazy to require that you have three or four launches in a single year to get all of your "stuff" into orbit.

The logistics of space launch are still crazy. You can launch two rockets in a weekend using two launch pads but you can't yet launch multiple rockets a week from the same launch pad.
actually on 2, in reality your tax goes up (to pay for UBI) so you either are in the same position or worse off the higher your income is.
The problem here is probably more download time, not run performance.
Except this looks like it would be a big download, wouldn't it? And how would this UI interact with assistive applications like screen readers?
Did Twitter[0] kill RSS or is that mode of expression not conducive for it?

Evan Williams (Blogger Founder, RSS -> Twitter co-founder, No-RSS -> Medium founder, RSS[1]) has explored many of these modalities. He probably decided Twitter didn't need RSS.

Maybe we're all learning about the health of certain forms of discourse?

> Taxing the middle class here the same as say, norway doesn't make sense unless you offer the same services.

My point is that the bellyaching in America is targeted at the wrong thing. It's not about how much taxes rich people or corporations pay. That's not why Germany has free education and we don't. It's that a household making $100k pays 20% taxes here and 40% in Germany. That's the major difference between the countries.
This is pretty neat lol. I'm curious about what architecture you used, how many images and what kind of augmentation you used.
You've personally mocked me twice. I've done no such thing to you or anyone else.

>- Be able to update a MR without push-forcing on the same branch, but with a new branch (that allows better reviewing of older versions).

Although not identical, it's worth noting that GitLab tracks all versions of MRs throughout the life of an MR. So, if you force push, you can compare the MR before and after the force push, via the "Changes" tab. I could be wrong, but I believe this is actually a leg up on what GitHub provides.
In most western countries unemployed people get free money in the form of social welfare. In a lot of the west unemployment is without time limits, you can be unemployed for life.

I am open to other suggestions. I have really tried to spend a lot of time to another example and cannot seem to find any.

The other alternative would be a loan approval application.

Remember that the definition of a developer is very broad nowadays. You have hackers working with C/Assembly on firmware, all the way to AI/ML with high level languages.

Do you have another suggestion for a good example?
Nobody chooses to get fired or to crash a motorcycle either. Children are very sympathetic and charismatic spokespeople for the type of help we can render one another, but choosing to create them does not and should not absolve one of responsibility or provide some free insurance against catastrophes.

It is ok. English is my second language as well.
i don’t know that it has to be competitive in speed right away as long as it works and is easy to install.

i’d be thrilled to have the option of doing deep learning on an AMD card even if it ran at 1/3 the speed on a comparable (but probably somewhat more expensive) NVIDIA card. it would open up a lot of options even if it were still less economical in throughput/dollar.

if nothing else, how many machine learning researchers would like to prototype things on their MacBook Pros?
RSS has no analytics. that's the big weakness. RSS has been stripped of content even in most other blogs, substituting it for links back to the main sites, which is a workable compromise for webmaster but not one that helps readers. yahoo pipes where a stopgap for a while, until yahoo pulled the plug.

I think what's needed is an intrusive format that delivers metrics and tracking. sure it'd be another tool for control and manipulation, but we'd at least have back the ability to read our news centralized.
Really well written article. Sadly looks like the research is all on read-only, in-memory datasets because the training step is expensive.
Main reason I don't exclusively use RSS (like I used to) is tons and tons of websites just provide a couple lines in the RSS feed and not the entire article.

Super annoying.
Or pretty excited depending on how they charge.
I recently discovered Feedbin allows you to subscribe to email newsletters, which pretty much keeps you in RSS land for anything news related.
I'm a strong proponent of a UBI, and I agree with you 100%.

But you make it sound like most UBI advocates are insisting it be inplemented in one fell swoop and have no idea how to test it empirically. That's not the case at all: this was one such test, and I'm eager to see the actual methodology and results.

Another is being run by YC itself.

This isn't some imaginary proposal that can never fail and can only be failed.

Exacty. This is a GSMA standard, I don't get why suddenly everyone's lumping it together with Google - perhaps they pushed a well-timed press release.

It was started way back when, when end-to-end encryption wasn't on anyone's minds and as with everything in the carrier world, it's adoption was/is molasses slow. Google jumped on the bandwagon, implemented it for Android, and made some appliance boxes that they're selling(?) to willing operators. But it's an open standard and no one has to use the Google RCS box, and some operators actually don't.

In 10-15 years there will probably be a new messaging standard that's been started work on today, with end to end encryption and other missing features, and people will be decrying that it's missing some 2028 feature.

Yes, it could be better but it's pretty good for raising the baseline. Now if only all operators and devices would support it, it'd be just great.
So that feels like saying ASP.NET AJAX was way ahead of the game. And in some ways it was.

And in other ways you had this massive __VIEWSTATE hidden input field that would have to be sent in order to recreate state. But I will say, it was very cool technology at the time.
To the mod that removed the "Show HN" tag, could you explain why? I don't really mind, I just want to understand. This isn't a blog-post, and it contains source code that can be tried out. It's also for a library/framework that I'm making, so to me it feels like I'm doing a "show".
In case (c) or (d) how can a layer leverage the distributed facilities that FDB gives?
I mean if I have clients that connect to a "layer service" that is the one who talks to FDB, I have to manage "layer service" scalabily, fault tolerance etc... by myself.
I had the impression WASM was about writing parts of web apps in it, so they get more performance.

I can't imagine many people would like to download a 60GB AAA game or something like Photoshop to run it in the browser.
yeah feedly has been my alternative since google reader died. but the issue is that even if some sources still have feeds, many sources strip feed of all the content and only give you a list of titles and links. that quite sad to witness if one lived trough the rss golden age
