Rent is a big one.
For example, you charge your tenants $1000 a month now. UBI kicks in, everyone gets an extra $500. Why wouldn't a landlord up their rent charge to $1500, or even to just $1250? Who wouldn't want to do that?

In some ways the complexities of the NodeJS stack are harder to work with than what we used to have to deal with. Constraints exist no matter what level of the stack you are working in. I imagine most of those "ninjas" would do just fine under those conditions since they would have taken just as much time to learn and understand the constraints of the system they were working in as they took to learn the constraints of the nodejs ecosystem.

A model checker is a software program you use to validate a given mathematical model of a system. If the proposed properties of the model hold the model checker will let you know. More interestingly if the properties fail to hold you'll get a trace back into where your assumptions fell apart.

TLA+ is one such system that includes a language for writing models and a model checker to verify them for you. In the context of microservices you would write a model of your services and the checker would help you to verify that certain properties of your model will hold for all possible executions of the model. Properties people seem to be interested in are consistency and transaction isolation. You can develop a model of your proposed microservices architecture and work out the errors in your design before you even write a lick of code.

Or if you already have a microservice system you could write a model of it and find if there are flaws in its design causing those annoying error reports.

This is my problem with UBI. I don't believe that the US will ever meaningfully reduce the size or scope of the safety net. It's not politically feasible to do so.

If we could could swap state managed welfare for equivalent UBI, well, that's an interesting trade-off to consider. But I don't think we actually have that option.

> or the needs of software packagers.

They address the needs of users.

I don't care about software packagers at all, except insofar as they can address the needs of users.

> The solution to having inconsistent packaging paths isn't to introduce _yet another_ packaging path system, but this one specific to djb stuff. It's to use a standard build system with overrideable paths, and not to assume the author knows better than the packager.

Having "inconsistent packaging paths" isn't the problem. The problem is I have a program called "foo" and I don't know if it should begin with:

#!/usr/local/bin/python

or:

#!/usr/bin/python

Somebody who doesn't have a real job made the joke that it should "obviously" use "overridable paths" like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python

but that person hasn't used very many unix systems so they're unaware that this doesn't work on some systems. Eventually the "package manager" compromised with:

#!/bin/sh
''':'
if type python2 >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
exec python2 "$0" "$@"
else
exec python "$0" "$@"
fi
'''

And users are like "what the fuck!?" All we needed to agree was that python "lives" in /usr/local/bin/python and python3 (an incompatible alternative to python) lives someplace else, we would have been fine.

And for what? Why did we bother with this? What did we actually gain for all this extra shit? Some package manager felt like he was doing the job of a tarball?

> They don't address cross-compilation at all, or the needs of software packagers.

Cross-compilation is tricky for programs that need to run programs to figure out how they need to be built; neither cmake or GNU autoconf do anything to address it.

The best solution package managers seem to suggest is to "not do that" but those programs are slow.

Instead of UBI, which many critics are fearful of, why not switch to a voucher system? The government gives everyone a voucher redeemable for $x for food, $x for healthcare, etc., whatever forms of welfare we decide to provide as a society. Then private companies can register with the government as providers of these services and consumers can spend their vouchers wherever they want. This solution seems like it eliminates bureaucracy by switching to a market based system, provides a safety net for the entire population, and makes it harder to freeload.
I wonder if it is an instinctive reaction to the common complaints (no, relatively, easier packaging or installation routes) to djb softwares. It was previously seen in TweetNaCl [1] which is arguably an irritated response to libsodium [2] which in turn wraps djb's NaCl library [3] in the way djb considers suboptimal [4]. djb is known to be not very interested in the modern packaging systems or practices, so it might well be his way to protest them.

That was in Germany. They won't let you starve so if you absolutely can't or don't want to work there is a level of assistance to keep you from starving. I think it's the same in the US. You will always get some level of welfare to not starve.
It's not enough to live off it, so it's not a UBI.
I've thought about this some. I think the problem with this reasoning is that prices can't go up by the UBI level, since it would be a fixed dollar amount per person. That is, the price of bread can't increase by $1200 per loaf.

The best the market could compensate, I think, would be a percentage increase in prices corresponding to the average percentage increase in income. Since UBI is a flat amount, not tied to income, that average percentage is going to be so close to 0 as to be completely irrelevant. Even if it's not close to 0, for low-income (or UBI-only income) households especially, the marginal increase in income should be significantly higher than the marginal increase in prices.

As a result, each qualified resident now receives the same annual amount, regardless of age or years of residency.

> The code makes use of localStorage() to save the raw text and the time and date of when the edit has been made.

Given that localStorage only has 5MiB available to it, you could try using the localForage library to have a localStorage-like API around IndexedDB, so that people can store even larger notes (you could even support storing pasted images as PNG blobs). Even better: is has automatic localForage fallback.

Alternatively, you might want to either compress the text with LZ-String before storing it[1]. (BTW, version 2.0 is currently in the works and much faster, especially if you use the "Unsafe" version[2])

That sounds awesome! I'd really like to see organizational management, i.e., users in orgs. It is something most B2B SaaS apps have to do, and they tend to do it differently and often very poorly. Maybe it is out of the scope of ORY Hive, but I think it would be really useful. I'm thinking it would tie into an RBAC system to give users different permissions within orgs (member, admin, owner, etc.).

There are two main patterns for B2B apps:

- One org per user, like G Suite. A user is a member of a single org, to be a member of another org requires another user account. This creates a challenge when it is a system where someone might be a member of multiple orgs, because it requires logging in as multiple users and having cookies that can handle that.

- One user in many orgs, like GitHub. A users "owns" their user account, and is invited to one or more orgs. This makes working in multiple orgs easier, but can create challenges for companies that want to enforce things within their org, like SSO or 2FA. It also creates issues with routing of notifications (you want work notifications going to work email), and identity of users within a company (an org admin may have trouble identifying users if they aren't tied to company emails).

An ecosystem like ORY obviously can't alleviate all the issues, but maybe it can help with some of them, like org membership and org friendly cookies.

Big Data and Network Measurements at TMA 2018
If you imagine that there's a fixed amount of stuff available to buy with money, and you increase the supply of money, then the price of stuff in money goes up since the total amount of stuff must remain equal to the total amount of money. But since UBI will mean that poor people have a bigger proportion of the total money than they do now (and rich people having a correspondingly smaller proportion), it will lead to poor people getting a bigger proportion of the stuff, and have a nonzero effect.

I think there is a difference between debugging and using a debugger.

Everyone debugs the software they are building or working on.

You're assuming that any additional funds would simply be spent, and spent on the same goods thus driving up demand given an inelastic supply. All those factors together seem unlikely.

That's just it, the real horizon will appear to move even though it's the vehicle moving. People tend not to get seasick/motion sick when they can see the outside apparently swaying because that coincides to the bumps they feel. It's when they are entirely inside or focused on on something that isn't moving relative to themselves that there is a difference between feel and vision.

While I don't get seasick at all, I'll add this in so that someone might try it. I noticed that on a rocking boat people stand two different ways. Most people will move their feet apart and assume a rigid stance so their head is always up relative to the boat. Others will keep both feet together and stay upright relative to gravity, seemingly tilting back and forth in rhythm with the ship. I suspect the second might help with motion sickness since you would see the boat move like you feel that it should. It always struck me as funny to have some of both types in the same group having a conversation.

Yes, lobbying has an incredibly high return on investment.

They compared the taxes saved to the amount the firms spent lobbying for the law. Their research showed the return on lobbying for those multinational corporations was 22,000 percent. That means for every dollar spent on lobbying, the companies got $220 in tax benefits.

That statement could be made about literally any article linked from Hacker News, in addition to anything on the rest of the internet - why did you decide to make it on this one?
You're forgetting there is supply and demand as well. If there are more places to live than people who need them, then landlords and property owners will have to compete to offer the best price. This would drive prices downward, even if everyone has an equal constant added to their income.

Then there's the possibility of some people working less or quitting one of their 2 jobs so they can enjoy their life a bit more. So their actual income could remain flat. If enough people do this then landlords wouldn't be able to increase rates either.
This has been true of many generations (I would quibble with the Wii because many people bought it expressly for motion controlled games) but I'd argue not this one. There's a buzz about third party releases on the Switch like no other Nintendo system, and I'd argue it's because the Switch is a fantastic form factor and experience. You will find a lot of people that own good games re-buying them on the Switch because it's a really enjoyable way to play. You can play in bed or on your porch!

If one landlord defects and charges $1250, then they all have to do the same, as long as housing supply isn't constrained. Then if another landlord defects and charges $1100, all the landlords have to switch. In theory at least. Obviously the rental market isn't very liquid, so prices can lag and you can have distortions that persist.

I realize that housing supply is constrained in many areas, which complicates this analysis, but in many areas that is more a regulatory failure than a necessary condition.
But that's the thing, you don't pay yourself in cash - you move most of your expenses to the company (cars, houses, investments, pension payments etc), so that money is only touched by corp tax. You take out the bare minimum that you cannot reasonably claim as business expense, squeezing your taxable income all the way down. When you reach a point where that's not possible, either you are making way more than 150k or you have a poor accountant.
