A UBI doesn't work like a normal spending program, because it's cash. If you're at the median and to fund the $1000/person UBI you have to pay an additional $1000 in tax, you aren't paying $1000 more, you're net of zero. The above-median person who pays $1200 in tax isn't paying $1200, they're paying $200. The below-median person who pays $800 in tax isn't paying $800, they're receiving $200.

This is also why a cut off saves you nothing. If the person at the 85th percentile would have been paying $2000 in tax and receiving a $1000 UBI, and you eliminate their UBI so that they only pay $1000 in tax, zero real difference has been made to anyone. A phase out only changes anything if the nominal tax reduction it allows goes to a different income level than the people subject to the phase out -- but if that's what you wanted, you could do it by just changing their respective tax rates to begin with. Which is a lot easier to reason about, so that you don't do dumb stuff like impose a 35% UBI phase out plus a 25% marginal tax rate (effectively a 60% marginal tax rate) on middle income people, while charging a lower tax rate to higher income people.

More to the point, the context here is using a carbon tax to fund the UBI, which makes the point succinctly. If the average person is paying $100/month in carbon tax, it funds a $100/person/month UBI. A carbon tax is quite regressive -- more even than sales tax -- but the UBI is at least as anti-regressive, so it cancels. The only difference it makes is to the people with a higher or lower than average carbon footprint, so it gives everyone the incentive to be on the below average side, which is exactly the purpose.
This is only the beginning. Companies like this one here:

That's backwards compatibility: new versions of the compiler will continue to be compatible with code that was written previously. Forwards compatibility would mean that new code would be compatible with old versions of the compiler (this would be analogous to a website from 2018 working in IE5, or being able to play The Last Of Us on PS1). Rust's backwards-compatibility promise ensures the former, but not the latter.

That said, if you stick edition=2015 in your crates, that might go a liiiiitle bit towards keeping your code compiling on old versions of rustc, allowing you to partially "opt-in" to forward compatibility for your users, if you so chose. Though this would only keep you from accidentally using things that are edition-specific; remember that when you use a version of rustc from here on out, if you compile with the 2015 edition, you're not just getting a version of the compiler frozen as of last month; code compiling with the 2015 edition will still be receiving most of the same features as the 2018 edition (a strict subset, obviously; they're still the same compiler under the hood, only the frontmost of the frontend diverges).
We’re not removing it any time soon, but we’re also not focused on developing it any further. Targets based on LLVM’s native support, like the unknown target, are the future.

Yes, your assumption is correct, we actually account for the means of electricity production, as well as the car production process emissions related to building a single electric vehicle. It's a great idea to be able to switch those overhead emission calculations if you wanted to, we'll get on that!

But the for-profit is owned and governed by the non-profit, so overall it's still non-profit. It's probably about the statues of the nonprofit and certainly at least on part about keeping a separation between income (Google) and activities (contrary to Google)
The EEO questions on a job application are my favorite.

Certainly putting white or Asian would never be a detriment, but probably isn't a positive either. It's just neutral, default. I can't lie and say that I'm white or Asian, so should I just leave it blank? Then I'm hiding something. I must be black. Should I fill it out and say that I'm black, and pray to god that doesn't trigger some internal bias in the split second where someone decides to bin my application or not? Either way it's guaranteed to be a negative or a positive, not a neutral meaningless thing as it should.
I always though Mozilla should be the one doing this, let google do all the hard work and focus their resources in increasing market share and having better privacy, if they have the resources to maintain firefox then they have the resources to maintain a chromium fork.
Incompatibility with C enums in repr(C) enums is still not fixed.

In C, enums are more like:

#[repr(C)]
enum Foo {
BAR=0,
BAZ=1,
Unknown(i32), // other possible values of int
};

but Rust doesn't allow to write enums like that, so it leads to bugs in FFI.
Why exactly would I choose a company which will professionally handicap me for the rest of my career, locking 60% of my income potential at what it is now and leaving me to sort through how to have a career without getting sued?

Because then any pull request introducing something into Chromium essentially becomes the web standard. For example, Google has a ton of influence on the project. If they want to, they can introduce something that benefits their services but eschews the web standard.

Don't think HRs will look much on LI, it is not mandatory to keep it stuffed. Keep some keywords which match with your target role. When recruiters find you by LI keywords anyway they will ask you to send them CV by email.

If possible avoid reaching to company by HR. First find someone you may know who works there. Check if company takes part in some meetups etc, talk with technical people first - they need you.

"pretty much the only widely used CSP implementation in existence"

The history of programming shows a lot of evidence that good ideas can take decades from initial proposal to even being in a B-list language like Go, let alone being "widely used" to the degree I think you are, so I put only modest credence in it being not terribly widely used yet.

"And Go itself is constantly fighting CSP deficiencies, trying to abstract it away and move closer to actors."

Having programmed in Erlang for a long time, I don't find this to be true. I've certainly got quite a few things that look like actors, but quite a lot of things that definitely aren't, too.

"CSP alone cannot be used for anything real world related"

Which probably goes back to why everyone tends to tweak it a bit. (I have further quibbles with that characterization, but not important enough to go into.) And Go doesn't offer "CSP alone", but rather CSP grafted on to the side of a standard structured programming model, something we do know can be used for real-world work, so it all seems to work out pretty well.
Oh enough of this meme, please. It should be required that anyone who tries to be clever with it actually justify it with a full explanation on what they think the three matching steps are/will be.
The 'get incorporated' trend has certainly been more noticeable in the past couple of years.

Generally speaking I do not give course to such employment offers, in other the tax rate for incorporated individuals/small business is too high.

In regards to thw reasoning behind this, I believe it's mostly a question of company culture and perhaps the expenses the employer needs to pay (gov tax, etc).
Minor nitpick, but Lyft operates in Canada outside Toronto. At the very least, they're in Ottawa.

Its the editor's and producer's job to make sure garbage like this doesn't happen. I lean on my (very little) experience with NPR.

Things driven by advertising seem to become caricatures of themselves... My wife an I watched this happen to Food Network in the early 2010's.

People like Paula Dean, who acted normally, began to have deeper accents, brighter eyes, more ridiculous 'Southern' turns of phrase. And it wasn't just her. It happened to other personalities as well.

In fact, I think that people have pointed out this phenomena on YouTube, as well (people conforming to some 'norm' that gets them the most cash).
But those pass thru the body whereas MMW gets absorbed. Plus just because most people aren’t concerned (it doesn’t seem to be catastrophic given number of years deployed) doesn’t mean there aren’t potential long term consequences (note most people weren’t concerned with leaded gasoline either...)
It always amazes me how - even on HN - some people like to depreciate and underestimate browsers in their current state. It's like they are stuck with mindset in 90s and forgot to notice that browser are pretty advanced OS nowadays.
A real branch would involve a jump instruction somewhere. With a branch, different code executes depending on the condition. With the code above, you get different data depending on the condition.
You stated you were unsure what it was. The link clarifies that.

>There is zero evidence in the public domain to support the hysterical allegations of the crazy folks in our domestic military-industrial-espionage complex.

Key phrase "in the public domain". As someone with access to info that is NOT in the public domain.......every organization basically has one of two choices: either your data ends up on an NSA server, or your data ends up on a server in China. Which you choose largely depends on your government's politics and which superpower they are currying favor with.

Reasons factory-installed backdoors could NOT negatively impact business:
-customers that aren't tech-savvy enough to notice

-customers that feel data security isn't important

-customers who are too cheap for more expensive alternatives (overlaps with the last category)

-customers who have an antagonistic relationship with the US, so Chinese backdoors are "more secure" than US backdoors by default

I think you'd be surprised how many people, globally, fall in those above categories. But major UK telecom companies certainly don't.
This very week you had the Quora users info leak (https://blog.quora.com/Quora-Security-Update) where users info, including and their encrypted passwords, were compromised.

Password reuse, or even following a simple pattern for having different password for each site (i.e. a seed+site name) is the main problem here. If one site falls, then it should not be trivial to deduce your password or how to attack it for other, maybe more important or secure, sites.
Well, the copy of it is just for backup purposes most times anyways, so the loss of the copy isn't going to be unrecoverable in most cases. And, as a bonus, you don't have to return home if you do forget it.

And, as I mentioned earlier, we're really quite good at keeping track of wallets and purses in the first case. Losing them is typically (at least in my own experience) a once-in-a-decade event.

I actually provided an example where an armed populous did strike fear into the government. The IRA were targeting MPs and fairly quickly after that there were good Friday agreement discussions.

There are counter examples to every case, but my point was the Australian government can do what it wants because it's populous let's them.

It's hard to glean technical details from the post, but "We will move to a Chromium-compatible web platform for Microsoft Edge on the desktop" indicates to me that this will be Edge based on Blink, not the full Chromium shell renamed/rewritten to be Edge. Hard to tell though

> I worry "grand conspiracy" views distract from the problem of public opinion often being in favor of the bad ideas.

The cynic in me is not concerned because I feel public opinion can be swayed and/or the issue is not the biggest/most-important issue in representative democracies. I admit being overly cynical on the importance of public opinion and therefore my disagreement efforts manifest more in counteracting technologies than politicking (and even then, the efforts are little and of limited consequence).
The problem with ICOs is you can put some very shady crap.

For instance, there was EtherDoge. They were pushing their air drop on Reddit. However, they coded in to the smart contract pushing back the air drop. Their website showed a "team" with photos stolen off of Twitter and LinkedIn. Whenever you called them out on Reddit, the mods of the subreddit were deleting the posts.

Obviously not every ICO is conducted thusly, but straight up fraud still needs to be addressed.
Don’t forget the stochastic control problem that needs to be solved to stop the whole grid blowing up!
Is there an issue posted somewhere on this?

From a glance, I would imagine you could mediate across the FFI using an `i32`, and provide an `impl From<i32> for Foo` that neatly separates the discriminated and excess cases.
It's funny that when you go to select your country, depending on the privacy laws in said country you have to agree to their terms of service using a checkmark/no checkmark.

Is there any plans in the works to bring the cc crate over to wasm32-unknown-unknown? Most of the impressive stuff I've been able to do with WASM has been pairing existing C libraries with Rust in the right ways and it would be unfortunate to lose access to that whole ecosystem.
In addition to what others have mentioned, likely a lower valuation, hopefully enough to balance out the higher risk.
Microsoft still can participate in the WhatWG discussions, they can still try to exert some kind of influence over where Blink goes. (In the most expensive way they can just put a lot of "if"-s in the code to make Edgemium work differently from Chrome.)
It's step 1: embracing the open standard. They'll extend it next. Another commenter already pointed out that could be as easy as just using Bing to send revenue to them using Google's tech. They'll come up with other ideas.

Far as open-sourcing their stuff, I think they're holding off on that to preserve their profitable lock-in in legacy market. Harder to clone their key dependencies if the code isn't open. Even opening the data formats like for Office wasn't enough to make a copy that renders all existing documents perfectly. That was by design, too.

I think it makes more financial sense for them to keep existing stuff closed followed by Embrace with Microsoft-oriented Extend on open stuff. I doubt they'll Extinguish since they don't have enough clout to do that in this market. Probably in most markets now.

If you own a Raspberry Pi you can actually boot up RISC OS. Definitely recommend you try it out.[1]

But one thing to keep in mind, the fast boot up, super responsiveness and anti-aliased fonts are not because you're running a 90s operating system on 201X tech, it actually ran that nicely back in the day too.

I often wonder what computing today would look like if different operating systems had gained dominance.

This sounds alarming, but one difference I think is that a lithium batteries are not fuel in the sense that they are consumed immediately like gas/diesel. Of course they have a limited lifespan, but I read elsewhere that lithium batteries can be partially recycled for raw materials.
Considering that Samsung Internet, Brave, Opera, Electron etc is based on Chromium and at least Samsung Internet adding new features of their own to it, there are at least many other people working on the code base.

I would guess that Microsoft would keep using Chorus rather than adopting V8, but if they aren’t, then V8 has contributions from eg. Node.js

This is actually great for the web. Having two competitors like Google and MS contributing to a single rendering engine, and competing on the actual browsers means less fragmentation without the single-entity-control problem.
Isn't that kind of exactly how a "nimble startup" would want to operate? Push push push, and then when it doesn't work "pivot". At least that's what a startup would say in a very grandiose blog post about "strengthening our core and starting a new exciting chapter." It seems to me like the Microsoft Edge team is trying to operate as nimbly as they can inside the giant and were given latitude to do so. I say good on them for regcognizing the situation and having the fortitude to make the decision that is probably best for MS's customers.
What's odd about being anti-union? Depending, I guess, on how exactly you define "anti-union".

>Again, you are incorrect here. If you don't believe me, please come to London (or any one of dozens of cities in China and Europe) where battery electric buses routinely operate all day, every day, with overnight recharging only.

I do not need to physically go to London to know you are incorrect. I can speak to an operations manager in London and ask him directly. There are absolutely no electric buses in London that operate a full day. Zero.

>In London, virtually all diesel buses are retired by the time they are 10 years old.

Yes, lots of cities do that. They are not retired because they need to be, they are retired because federal funding is available to retire them. Those exact buses are sold at a huge loss to private companies who operate them for another 30 years. In countries where there are no programs to throw the public's money in the garbage buying new equipment that isn't needed, diesel buses operate for 30-40 years.

>Overnight electricity is not only much cheaper, but largely produced by renewables and nuclear, so the carbon intensity is low.

It is not much cheaper. If it were actually a net benefit to shift electricity usage to night time using batteries, then that would still be done. You don't need the batteries in the buses to do that. It is actually much better for them not to be in the buses. There's lots of trollybus systems all over the world in active use. None of them install batteries to shift electricity usage to the night time. The reason is obvious, it isn't cost effective. You can't pretend a negative that you are stuck with is a positive when if it were actually a positive it would apply to the system you are fighting against too.

>However, it would be very difficult and costly to reinstate such a network today

There is nothing difficult about running wires. We already have people who do this job. It would be expensive. But it is less expensive than batteries, which is why cities where there are no corporate interests bribing politicians to buy expensive battery systems are buying trollybuses. You can't compare wires to nothing and proclaim them expensive, you have to compare it to the alternative, which is much more expensive.

>Battery electrics offer the best of both worlds

No, they do not.

>The smooth, quiet passenger experience and zero emissions of a trollybus

They are not zero emissions, they burn diesel all winter to heat the bus.

>with the flexibility and low fixed costs of diesel.

What low fixed costs of diesel? The only definition in which diesel is low cost is upfront purchase price, and by that measure battery powered buses are high cost, 160% of the cost even. In any long term cost comparison, trollybuses are cheaper than battery which are cheaper than diesel.
Is that what Huawei does, export American products?

> The rendering engine doesn't actually matter.

It does matter. From the comment above "browser vendors taking the lead over standards committees" means influence on where the technology is heading, specially for rendering engines.
