I suppose we’re starting with two different assumptions.

My assumption is UBI is tax free OR UBI is taxable income but the first $12,000 of income is tax free. Same difference, different language.

Your assumption would be that UBI is taxible...like SS is now. That’s a garbage policy.

If I recall, Rand Paul’s tax plan was that a person filing singly would not be taxed on their first 40K of income. Just about double that for filing jointly. Then there’s a 16% flat tax, no deductions. I personally liked that plan.
Yeah seems like an important point to gloss over.
Which part of that applies to an address book?

And, again, that's the maximum possible fine for the worst case - taking into account all of this:

> the nature, gravity and duration of the infringement taking into account the nature scope or purpose of the processing concerned as well as the number of data subjects affected and the level of damage suffered by them;

> the intentional or negligent character of the infringement;

> any action taken by the controller or processor to mitigate the damage suffered by data subjects;

> the degree of responsibility of the controller or processor taking into account technical and organisational measures implemented by them pursuant to Articles 25 and 32;

> any relevant previous infringements by the controller or processor;

> the degree of cooperation with the supervisory authority, in order to remedy the infringement and mitigate the possible adverse effects of the infringement;

> the categories of personal data affected by the infringement;

> the manner in which the infringement became known to the supervisory authority, in particular whether, and if so to what extent, the controller or processor notified the infringement;

> where measures referred to in Article 58(2) have previously been ordered against the controller or processor concerned with regard to the same subject-matter, compliance with those measures;

> adherence to approved codes of conduct pursuant to Article 40 or approved certification mechanisms pursuant to Article 42; and

> any other aggravating or mitigating factor applicable to the circumstances of the case, such as financial benefits gained, or losses avoided, directly or indirectly, from the infringement.
My 8 year old cousins are crazy about taking my phone to play games on whenever they come to visit; I literally have to hide it from them. Maybe the kids mentioned in the article were a bit younger (and perhaps their parents are a fair bit younger, with different phone use habits to my uncle, who is in his mid 40s)

Funny because my next thought was "Heartbleed, Spectre, Shellshock, ...". It seems people will discuss threats more when there are catchy names attached to them. Otherwise "mitigated CVE-XYZ" or "that storm was wicked, eh?" is just another boring day at the office.

Well these are Gov employees so there is a Fringe possibility that has been confirmed to be black projects where Remote viewers attempt to access information through telepathy. Many of the reported symptoms are just like the reported in this article with pressure and weird sound sensations along with nausea and headaches. Some were diagnosed with brain injuries as well.

Blaming fakes for all kinds of things is just the extension of the "war on privacy and anonymity".

Why are fakes supposedly such a big problem? Their identity might be fake, but that doesn't make their ideas any less attackable and that's what it should be about: Ideas, not identities.

If an idea is good I couldn't care less who had it, I only care about the idea itself.
Yet all the public discourse focuses on "fakes spreading wrong ideas", even the recent Facebook EU hearing had that as a major topic, with Zuckerberg constantly reiterating that catching fake profiles, who could influence elections, is one of Facebook's top priorities (which I don't doubt).

But barely anybody seems to make the effort to think this trough consequently, once you do that, you realize that we are heading in exactly the same direction China is heading: No anonymity, Social media becoming the de-facto replacement for government institutions. Is that really the world we want to live in?
I don't know exactly. It was transpiled before I came on the scene, which was 1996. The transition probably happened around the same time the Macintosh OS transitioned from Pascal to C-based APIs, and/or Photoshop was ported to Windows (around the Photoshop 2.5 timeframe.)
What is with the rash of bad naming decisions these days?

It started with "Cucumber" or "Celery" or something a few years ago didn't it?

I'll skip ranting about how "Go" was a terrible name for a PL (and only mention parenthetically how they gaffled that name from a different PL!) They have "Grumpy", and something called "Thanos" (good luck searching for that until the hype for that comic book movie dies down.) I feel like I've seen several other projects recently that have been named after other things.
Pharma research companies don't sell direct to individuals.

Is it me, or does the article feel like it is written by someone who didn’t actually bother to learn Kotlin. Instead they learnt the bare minimum syntax and tried to write Java in Kotlin.

The author complains a lot about how Kotlin is different from Java. Err.. it is a new language — it is supposed to be different — otherwise why bother?

> I have my favorite set of JVM languages. Java in /main and Groovy in /test are the best-performing duo for me. In summer 2017 my team started a new microservice project, and as usual, we talked about languages and technologies. There are a few Kotlin advocating teams at Allegro, and we wanted to try something new, so we decided to give Kotlin a try.

The opening lines set the tone for the article. The author tried Kotlin because other people wanted to — not because he found it interesting. Most people learn a new language by writing a toy project or two. They don’t start with a real project. And of course it will take time to get used to a new language and be as productive in it as as you were in the old one. The friction is always there, no matter which language you are switching to.

I am sorry, but I can’t take this article seriously — I feel that it’s written for the sole purpose of venting author’s frustrations.

> Spam and a harassment is a problem. Let the people he blocks make a new account to follow him or open an incognito window.

The ruling would be completely different if he was still private citizen Trump. He'd be free to block whomever he chose.

But he is President Trump and he's the one who chose to make his own private Twitter account function as his Presidential outlet to the world. So, different rules apply.

He had a perfectly good presidential Twitter account, but he's the one who chose to not use it. Let the chips fall where they may.
> Anyone who isn't logged in can still see it. They can just open an incognito window. They aren't really blocked from viewing his tweets.

If you read what you are arguing here out loud to yourself, it is immediately obvious why this "workaround" is a scary-bad precedent to set.

In order to view official communications from an elected official (i.e. the president of the united states), some citizens must "just" open an incognito window in order to work around the fact that the President of the United States blocked them from viewing official communication!

Go ahead, say that out loud to yourself! It is what some folks are arguing is okay. What kind of dystopian nightmare slippery slope path to hell is that shit? How more people aren't terrified of the precent allowing such a thing to occur is beyond me.

Saying it is okay that citizens have to work around government instituted blocks in order to hear from their elected officials. That is complete bollocks. "Shithole countries" with "shithole governments" pull bullshit stunts like blocking citizens access to official communication. I'd like to think America aspires to be better than that.
Imprisoning people who don't pay official fines is normal in most western countries.
ClamAV is ripe for creating a FOSS disruption in this arena. If I were in a position of governmental power I would be pushing for foss solutions instead of proprietary black boxes that can't be audited.

My fantasy would be for Apple or Google to acquire Fox. Then we'd have a strong chance of finally bringing networks onto modern devices like Apple TV or Chromecast.

Some of the channels have apps, but they're highly inconsistent in their content offerings. I want every episode of every show with no time restrictions, and I want new content posted immediately as it airs. HBO Go gets this right, but most other apps don't get it.

TV set top boxes are an abomination and they need to die immediately.

Oh, certainly! I'd even go as far as call irresponsible the use of any closed source software in situations that call for tight security. In this sense, choosing Mac, Windows or PutinOS (oh, how I wish such a thing existed!) carries exactly identical consequences.
There is also nothing about licensing your own work. Can I create a Creative Commons AT-SA video using this as the backing track? What if I also release all the source to my video under the same CC license? Can someone else that that track and use it in his/her project with the CC-AT-SA license? What exactly is attribution at this point? The video using the track or do you need to credit Filmstro too?

I agree, the FAQ doesn't go into enough licensing detail.

I do like the concept, but I think I'll stick to ccMixter.

You don’t make a startup for the money you do it to change the world!
I have to agree. Sometimes you do find developers with so much tunnel vision of the "one true way" that it becomes difficult to open their minds to doing things slightly differently.

For example, the null safety example and the complaint that having `!`, `?`, `!!` is "too Scala like" and too complex. I wonder if the author ever had to reason about <? super T> or <? extends T> in Java (e.g. https://briangordon.github.io/2014/09/covariance-and-contrav...). Scala doesn't even have these sigils (there is a different syntax for variance, type bounds and context bounds - but that's about all there is).

Another example - "In the C-family of programming languages, we have the standard way of declaring types of things." At that point you may as well point out that maybe Kotlin isn't in the C family.
I've also done this at a medium ish scale. We had to be careful with how the uuids were generated, though. Specifically which portion of the bytes contained the timestamp (and in what order) since different databases store uuids differently.
Not enough karma probably.
I would caution you with attributing your good health with solely this diet rather than just paying attention to what you eat. I have UC and it only made me sicker and lose weight and nearly ended up in the hospital. I concluded that perhaps this diet is not for all IBD.
Really great to hear you're doing well though.
I applied to YC to bring this idea to the US (rejected). Credit cards are our primary form of digital money and their fees are excessive.

The basic design was ACH money into the wallet, transfer money between balances for ultra low cost (1%), ACH money out of the wallet.

The difficulties are regulation. Doing this would make you a money service business and banks really don't want to touch that. Plus it costs a nice chunk of change to register in every state.

If card processing companies are taking around 3% + 30 cents of each transaction, they've effectively devalued our money by that much. I think you could skip all the NFC terminal nonsense and just do QR code based payments with the camera. Make low fee transactions a reality. Then you could pay for individual news articles online, support forums monthly (no way to pay a fraction of a cent for a page view), or tip your favorite streamer. It would be beautiful. It could also set us free from the ad based tracking economy.

Maybe one of the big players will implement it (Google, Apple, Walmart), or at least figure out the business model for someone to copy. I think it could really change the US economy.
What policies in American culture can you identify and point to that oppress black people specifically? What do you do that oppresses black people?

But considering everything as a means to make money is American. Everything, including what is considered as a human right in Europe, that is.
They mention that in the FAQ. You should keep the CUE sheet you used to generate it. I suspect it contains a licensing hash of some kind.
You need to define harassment. For example what kind of harassment is avoided by blocking instead of just muting a person ?

> They can just open an incognito window. They aren't really blocked from viewing his tweets.

What if your local DMV tells a black citizen to go to some other DMV and get a driving manual ?

Secondly, if you are an ordinary person and I retweet your every tweet calling you a moron you might consider it harassment and block me but public officials do not have such luxury. It is a very fundamental feature of American democracy to call your president an idiot. He can't claim harassment there.
I imagine they will closely align to YCs standard deal ($120k for 7%)

Thank you Adam,

> networking at least 2 hours a day. I was doing that on top of the 8ish hours I was billing to clients.

I have to say that sounds like a brutal schedule. On top of being a very smart guy, you seem like a very hard worker. I'm glad you've enjoyed so much success.

> ["3 prong approach explanation"]. Does that make sense?

Yes, thank you for this explanation. It is well reasoned and stated.
Neil Degrasse Tyson had many these advantages too and American culture didn’t hold him back at all. Not that he didn’t face prejudice at all but it very clearly wasn’t a roadblock.

Eminem had no social advantages and he got caught up in the thug life that Tupac (specifically) inspired.
I completely forgot about that, you brought some great memories! It really seems like those curated educational/reference/edutainment(?) products were, in some ways, better than interwebz we have today. Microsoft was really good at that game. Even on the internet. I wonder what they're up to now, will have to check out. There was this site they did, I think as a part of demonstration of terraserver, where they made an online sky map with deep zoom functionality. It was impressive at the time. Googling turns out nothing - maybe I should try with Bing.

However, english wikipedia is probably one of the most important, if not THE most important invention internet has brought us. Such a wealth of information and all as a free access. I've dreamt of such thing in our future back then, and now we have it.
I don't know why Pascal has such a poor name. I don't enjoy using it (only because I prefer braces or whitespace), but it's much higher level than C++ with compilers that emit pretty tight code. That is pretty rare nowadays. There are many reasons to praise it.
> Click logout if you’re one of the few professional Twitter trolls that actually managed to get his attention

I.e. "people the President of the United States doesn't like". Even if those people have every right to have their voice be heard--as enshrined in the constitution. Saying "oh, they can just view his posts by going into incognito mode" is a pretty slippery slope to saying it is okay for the government to actively block certain undesirables from accessing government communication.

What kind of totalitarian government are you arguing for?
A smartphone isn't an activity; it's a virtual place where activities happen. Kids (and, apparently, opinion-piece writers) don't usually understand this.

"My mom is on her phone too much!" could actually mean any/all of:

• my mom is a workaholic

• my mom is always chatting with her friends she had to move away from to give me a better place to live

• my mom is flirting on Tinder with my stepfather-to-be

• my mom is tired from work and zones out watching Youtube videos

• my mom is "addicted" to knowing what celebrities are up to so she has water-cooler conversation to share

• my mom is in a self-perpetuating fear spiral, feeding herself every horrible news story she can find even though she hates the feeling of reading them, and should probably see a therapist

• my mom is addicted to showing off on Facebook

• my mom likes reading books

Every one of these activities existed before smartphones; they just occurred in different places/formats.

You'd buy tabloids for the celebrity news; you'd watch the nightly news on cable; you'd flirt in bars; you'd travel to visit friends, or have long, nightly telephone calls with them; and you'd keep up with the real Joneses next-door instead of keeping up with the virtual Joneses on Facebook. And you'd be a workaholic by always being at the office, rather than by being home but inattentive.
I'd imagine that it's different for each incubated project/startup
You can't legislate a state of mind, and people have different reactions to different substances, so I'm a little confused as to what form this "broad ban" would take.

Benefits of Instant Messaging to Your Business
I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro, an iPad, and an iPhone, and I want to be able to access my email from any of them. POP3 is simply not designed to handle that situation gracefully. If a POP3 client is set to download email and delete it from the server, then the messages get "stuck" on whatever client happened to download it first; if it's set to keep copies of the emails on the server, then it pretty much becomes IMAP. Except stupider, since POP3 doesn't treat "downloaded" and "read" as separate concepts.

While I suspect I'm relatively uncommon in having four devices that I want to be in sync, wanting two or three devices -- computer, phone, and possibly work computer -- to be in sync probably isn't very uncommon at all.
Britain has so much potential, but when something becomes huge they either shut it down or only enable cronies to profit from it. Recent example is medicinal cannabis. There is worldwide boom, but it is illegal in the UK to grow except for drugs minister husband (Yes you couldn't make it up) and government says it has no medicinal value. But this has real suffering behind it, as people can't get medicine they need as an effect.
>whenever anyone argues "why x when y already exists".

Yes, seen many people argue that, including to me, e.g. about some of my blog posts, which show hand-rolled ways of doing things when a library for that exists. I guess often such people are not doing anything much themselves, and don't get that people can create something in the same area where something else exists, for any number of reasons, even just for sheer fun, love of the field, or for teaching beginners.

Netflix has been increasing their spend on "Original" content, which I think gets us closer to this goal. (If you pay for it, you get more rights in exchange.)

You might also want to try YouTube TV ($40/month). (Disclaimer: I work at YouTube.)
I'm guessing the sliders probably aren't sliders, but fall into ranges, and the peeps who write their music select different tracks to add/subtract for a given slider. They probably have some custom scripting languages around their music.

That's the way it seems to me as a user anyway, and the way I'd write it as a developer.
Blocking means your voice is take away. You can't retweet or respond.
