Another way to frame this is that it's easier to get rich via your investments than your direct labor. Working at a company that is willing to give you equity is a funny sort of investing: you're investing your time rather than your money.

That the world pays off equity in a company orders of magnitude better than labor for a company is the real thing that will complicate a young person's worldview.
Reminds me of a logo that was on a tv remote controller I used to have. Do they seriously think it’s witty to most people? All I see is a two letter word without any context or deeper implications. Okay, maybe the word is moving right. But that’s it.
That would explain why Nintendo has been so quick to bump major version numbers. The community was quite disappointed when major version five released and had no significant new features. If Nintendo is trying to prevent down grading they must expect to use these fuses earlier in the console life span rather than later.
"the tone of your response makes me feel like i'm being condescended to" is me expressing an emotion i experienced due to something you said

"i feel that <an opinion>" is a different use of the word (nearly synonymous with "think")

> permit all of the banks who engaged in gambling to actually lose their bets

When they throw the term 'too big too fail' around, they mean it in the literal sense: That the banks losing these bets would literally bring down the American -> World economy.

What _is_ missing is that no one was punished, no laws were changed (or have recently been relaxed even further?), no structured breakup of the bad actors. It means theres no incentive to _not_ risk global economic collapse, even though the words global economic collapse should be incentive enough.

Weird article: No author.
The problem is that people are 100% certain their way is the best way, so disincentivizing those who disagree seems perfectly fine with them.

I'm not OK with this.

If you truly believe your way is better, then put it out there and lets see if people adopt it. You don't get to "cheat" by making the other options worse, just to make yours seem better.

It's a bitter pill, but the total collapse of the financial system would have affected a lot more families.

There should be lots of regulatory effort to reduce interdependence and make it easier to unwind bad banks though.
Generally competition works to prevent that; if a company raises their candybars to suck more money, the other company will keep them lower to gain market share, forcing the first to come down again.

The problematic markets are the ones where competition is already deficient. Housing is often mentioned, but I actually don't think it'd be such a problem - if you get an UBI, you're actually much more free to move to cheaper places, rather than pushing up prices in places with jobs.

I'm not from the US, but if I was, I'd fear the cost of healthcare. Then again, that's probably unsustainable with or without UBI.

If I enter 50k there, and a tax class 1, then I end up with

which means 40% deductions. Which is approximately what I meant (yes, 50% was slightly too high).
Well said. People mostly want to avoid hurting others feelings, but that opens us up to an attack vector where a person or group demands that others change their behaviour so as to respect their feelings, but in bad faith a means of subjugating others. The Crybully exploit if you will.

>Fifth, and this one may seem like a silly reason to most, the drug testing (for marijuana specifically) is a huge barrier of entry. From a safety perspective, it makes sense. But for better or worse, marijuana use is becoming more socially accepted while work places (and in particular trade jobs) are lagging behind the times. Removing a marijuana screen from standard workplace testing would help revitalize the employee pool.

Marijuana and heavy machinery don't mix well... I can't speak to how long you have to be clean to pass a test, so it's possible that these tests select for people who _never_ use, versus people who got high 30 minutes ago. Even if it's the latter, one could argue that any use means someone could be high at the wrong time. I don't really have enough information on drug use patterns to comment here; perhaps someone else does?

Great exit for the founders, horrible exit for the employees.

In 2014 Weebly was worth $455m [1]. 4 years later in 2018 it is worth $365m. Imagine how much more an employee could have made working for 4 years at a public BigCo with RSUs you can sell every year. This is just another startup lottery failure. Employees got screwed.

This is simply another case of a group pushing for their evil to be classified as good and the good to be classified as evil. Their support of increasing penalties for what they claim is "theft" when they are supporters of actual theft is quite funny is a sad, sad way.

This is a case of them wanting their "rights" with no intention of ever carrying out their responsibilities.

I actively teach the young people that I have relationship with (including my children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, etc) that you have one right only, the rest is privilege and responsibility. That one right is to choose your course of action and there are consequences (good and bad) with every choice you make, but that is your right. Everything else that is called a right is a privilege and it comes with attendant responsibilities.

These kinds of groups make choices but have no desire to face the consequences of their action, they want to place on others those consequences.

I don't think anyone has to worry about UBI being implemented until someone comes up with a better/more persuasive name. Something like the "Robot Dividend". Compare and constrast: "Social Security" vs. "Wealth transfer from young to old".
Did they work there at the same time? What were the respective team sizes.

I get the feeling the Manhattan Project is pretty high up with regard to Nobel Prizes / Scientists employed, at least if you count only the research team at the Los Alamos site (the total team was in the 6-digits IIRC because of "Computers", Military staff, and all the physical work of enrichment and metalworking)

I think there's one school in Budapest that might have more laureates among an even smaller student body. Coincidently (or not) there's a rather large overlap of that group an Los Alamo (.

Apple will continuously nag you if you don't update. They use dark patterns (like many others) to trick you into accepting the update . Not to mention that updates also slow down your device over time, as happened with every single iphone 4s user. It was fast when I purchased it, and the updates turned it into a bottom of the barrel $99 android phone.

While you might be correct that updates also bring in fixes and new features, major updates can radically change the UI, and you're stuck with it even if you don't like it. Not being able to reset a consumer device to its factory state is a backwards mentality that users should protest at every opportunity.
There's an important caveat to that though. If you pick an early startup to make your bet, there is a very real (and more likely than not) chance that it won't pan out despite your best efforts and the team's best efforts. And then, like with stocks and other investments, this comes down to your ability to pick the winners.

Hi everybody. Full disclosure: I am trying to validate a startup idea. Please help :)

I believe there is a gap in the market for affordable application noting. The current solutions (new relic, datadog) seem out of reach for most startups/individuals/small businesses.

Am I right or not really? Is there something else that bugs you about these APM tools? Do you wish they did something else?

Thanks in advance!

My impression is that 1) is what most UBI advocates support. It's certainly what I'm interested in getting data on.

Furthermore, any conceivable implementation of 2) would have to go through 1) first.

Wow, downvoted for asking for points of view, nice.
UBI and Negative Income Tax are two terms for the same thing. Well, according to Wikipedia, NIT is one implementation of UBI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_income_tax). I suppose that's fair, but it's the most obvious implementation.

Either can be large or small; that's not part of the definition.

Any guesses as to which genealogy website was used? All the services I'm aware of (23andme, Ancestry.com) require that each customer provide their saliva sample.
I consider them fairly comparable:

* They both have a very large corpus of garbage shows and films.

* They each have a small handful of quality shows and movies that shifts as their licensing deals evolve and expire.

* Both of them are increasingly bolstering their content with self-produced content that is mostly of dubious quality.

At least in my household we seem to use each service roughly equally (I'd say 40/40 with the other 20% going to HBO now and no other cable, tv, or video consumption).

You're also not giving Amazon a fair shake if all you see of value is The Man in the High Castle and The Grand Tour, I clearly get a lot of value out of my subscription and I have yet to watch either of those. Right now I see they have all of House, Sons of Anarchy, Star Trek (most/all versions?), The Americans, and many more; dozens of episodes of I Love Lucy, Mr. Rogers, and Sesame Street; and some great movies like 1984, Spaceballs, Charlotte's Web, the Indiana Jones movies, (all the?) Star Treks, etc.

>Conservative economists do not like it because it would harm economic growth, he adds.

This is almost guaranteed not to be the case. For this to be true, the marginal propensity to consume of rich people would have to be higher than the MPC of poor people.

>"The evidence is that robotics is a labor complement and is increasing skilled wages. While robotics are replacing some lower-skilled jobs, the most efficient response is to not kill the golden goose but to make sure we have job training programs that are effective in increasing skills."

Again, this assumes that UBI "kills the golden goose", which is exactly what neoliberals don't want to do.

>“I find it very hard to envision political support in this country for that kind of radical increase in taxation.”

This is an argument about whether UBI is a realistic proposal, not about whether it's a "good idea" (the article's stated title).

>"Instead of a UBI to help the poor, Feldstein recommends the “negative income tax” plan"

How functionally different is a NIT from UBI? It seems like the author is trying to equate Feldstein's and Smetter's positions when they're actually very different.

>Benjamin Lockwood (sic) favors the idea of offering a guaranteed basic income, which he says is a better term than UBI.

Huh. So now your argument is just against the name UBI, not the policy itself.

He raped nearly (or possibly more than) 50 women in an era before DNA analysis was a thing that criminals knew to plan for. He left samples on lots of clothes, bed furnishings, cups, bottles, etc. If even one of those samples was intact and survived to this day, it would be enough to match against. Such a match would be strong evidence of his role in the crimes, considering that he was never part of the investigative teams for any of these attacks.

> what angry poor people want is never usually money, but hope for a better future for either them or their children [...] UBI is not a long term solution

> They're deploying this across a fleet of company laptops ... How comfortable are engineers with that?

I worked for the corporate infrastructure team at Dropbox, at the time my team was responsible installing/managing things like osquery on laptops, with the data going to the security team's tools, so I have thought about this. Speaking for myself, the Dropbox culture takes trustworthiness very seriously. "Be worthy of trust" is #1 on the list of company core values, and it is deeply embedded into the culture. The trust covers so much of how the company operates, including privacy. Spying on employees is so against company culture, even though I knew exactly what data being sent, I trusted the security team would not use that for anything other than protecting me. The detection and response team is made up of the most security and privacy conscious people I've ever met.

I think the mindset of respecting coworker privacy is important for anyone in corporate infrastructure, including network and system administrators.

But I've worked for other big corporations too, without that trust. I think employees need to know that when they use corporate computers and communications systems, they aren't private. Don't do stuff you shouldn't be doing at work.

> what do you do with all that information? I see how this addresses malware response, and I see how this would be useful as a forensic archive for general IR. But as a day-to-day tool, connection-by-connection, file-by-file granular data

When I worked there the security team reached out to me to ask about anomalous behavior, so there is active detection going on. That was a couple years ago, I'm sure they have improved since then too. Keep in mind, they have a full time detection and response team, in addition to all the other security teams.

In my experience, Django is less suitable for large projects than Flask.

The nature of Django encourages tight coupling between unrelated parts of the system - Models intertwine database operations and business logic, ModelViews intertwine db operations, business logic and the interface layer.

This is manageable in the small, but when you hit scale, this tight coupling adds a whole bunch of unnecessary complexity to your system. Good luck trying to tune your database when any template can trigger hundreds of db calls!

Some people at the time felt that C and Unix were a setback to computing compared with Lisp, in the same way that Microsoft Windows was a setback compared to Unix. Bell Labs is the canonical example of "Worse is Better", also called the "New Jersey Philosophy".

One could also argue that both Windows and Unix were necessary phases for general computing given limited hardware resources, and only now is the stateless functional paradise envisioned at MIT in the 1960's actually possible.

Uh...of course not. Same as when an across the board tax cut gives every worker some amount of extra money, it doesn't lead to massive inflation.

Besides, it's insane to assume that the price of a -single item- will jump to eat the entire cost of a payment such as UBI, because if that happens for every item, no one will be able to buy anything.

4 months on PCT?

Where did you start and end?

Looking to do PCT in a few years. Do you have it documented somewhere?

Thanks.
Well the current reality isn’t feasible, but we’re doing it anyway.

No one really knows wether UBI will be a succes or a failure. But then no one knows wether any policy will be a success or a failure, and there will always be supporters and fetractors on either side.

Ultimately though, all that really matters is that government takes action that it believes will make society better. That’s it’s purpose. And if government believes UBI would be a net good, it should do it.

StackOverflow is good if you come there via a search.

Otherwise, in my experience, it is utterly worthless for getting actual answers.

For instance, I've asked a total of 4 questions on the DBA Stack Exchange. Almost all of them were specific but easily generalized, weren't answered anywhere else. Three of them would have been easily answered by someone with good knowledge of the relevant products. (The other was only answered by significant trial and error.) On three of them, I was the only person to answer. Each of those took hours of research. On the fourth, someone else answered, but didn't appear to actually understand the question.

On StackOverflow itself, I've asked a single question. A moderator told me to do what I explicitly stated in the question I didn't want to do, and closed it as a duplicate.

The bounties are equally useless: earlier today I sacrificed 90% of my DBA reputation to get around 6 more views on my question. I'm pretty sure most of the views I got are from me refreshing the question.
