If people don't work on anything once they get UBI this isn't really a problem. Currently, there are many many people who already don't do anything. They only do a little as possible to avoid getting fired OR they do periodically get fired from every job they ever hold once their employers realize they're always going to be a drain on productivity.

Having these people on UBI would actually allow productivity to rise.

However, I'm really concerned about UBI because:

1) One way to get more money on UBI is to convince others to give you their money. Many people on UBI will stop producing positive or neutral work and start finding ways to trick their fellow citizens into giving them their money. We will still need some sort of welfare to provide food to people who are tricked into giving away all their money for worthless services or items.

2) Some people have terrible planning skills and just want to be happy now. They'll spend all of their UBI on worthless items and go hungry until the start of the next month. Worse, they'll spend their children's UBI allocation on worthless items as well (or trick their children into doing it if it turns out parents don't get direct access to their children's allocation). We will still need welfare to feed the children of these people.

3) Some people will decide that their calling in life is now to cause problems for others. The food check comes once a month, so now their full time job is dressing up as a clown and terrorizing random people. Don't have to get up for work? Be really loud until 4am. The people who actually do have to get up for work will naturally get the option to live in a gated community because we need the few that actually do produce more than ever. This very well may cause society to schism into people who work and people who don't.

4) The potential long term effects are pretty scary. If you never have to work will you worry about education, socialization, or how to function in a society? How many people will decide to never learn any skills whatsoever? Sure, we could build up a lot of automation to take care of these people, but the result is going to be a massive schism where some people only know how to take their UBI money card to the food silo. And their children are probably going to be in the same bucket.

Ultimately, I think we as a society have a responsibility to use our plenty to help those who are going without. However, I'm not convinced that UBI is the right way to make this happen.

Governments are social constructions too. They can & do fail - we tend to forget about this in the developed world because our governments haven't failed within our lifetimes (though in much of Europe, only just barely, and in Eastern Europe / Russia / China that's not true at all), but it's a regular occurrence in other parts of the world. When a government fails its power to tax becomes void, and so (usually) does its currency.

The alternative - for someone wishing to transact in an alternative currency and not pay taxes - is to pay foreign or private powers for protection services and then simply not pay the tax. This is suicide in the U.S. because we have a large & well-organized military, but is commonplace in many other parts of the world - and indeed, the U.S. is frequently the foreign power supplying arms and accepting its currency for many of these rebel groups.
You can get IPv6 with Ziggo; it will utilize CGNAT. Its terrible. Things such as connecting over LTE to IPv6 OpenSSH won't work if the LTE is IPv4 only. Things like P2P (BitTorrent) or PlayStation won't work. For a proper networking connection you need either dual stack or IPv4. If you get such a router from Ziggo call them up and tell them you want/need IPv4.

I stayed at that hotel 4 times last year, most recently in November. It's a long entrance drive from the main road leading to a compound, which has a hotel, resturant, I think a Qatar Airlines office, and a few other buildings

If you walk to the hotel, you go through a metal detector and a brief bag-search on entrance to the compound.

If you go to the hotel in a car/taxi/uber, you don't get the first check, they instead give a cursory check in the car, but certainly don't open any bags.

You then get to the front hotel, where your bag goes through a scanner and you get wanded, this is an open area (one side has a hotel-resturant patio, the other the bar's patio)

Like most hotel searches, it's all for show, a truck full of men with ak47s, or even 1 person with a 9mm glock, isn't going to be stopped.

I'm surprised they chose 3PM to launch the attack -- most residents will be out doing whatever they do at that time, and that seems to reflect from the fact the majority of deaths are locals working in the hotel.

> Smart, far-seeing capitalists are able to see beyond mere legalities.

This is exactly the argument that Marxist made. They weren't going to let traditional middle class morality hold them back, they had history on their side and new what was ultimately best for society. They had real examples where trashing norms and moral codes ultimately worked for the best, such as overcoming a restriction on vivisection to cure a horrible disease. Or ignoring FDA regulations to get a helpful blood test to market. The argument can always be made. It just tends to end badly.

Arthur Koestler wrote about this a lot in Darkness in Noon.
There is already more art and philosophy than there is a demand for and there is not even a UBI. Increasing the supply of art and philosophy won't change that (to say nothing of the other activities people can choose). I don't want to create an incentive for people to drop out of jobs to spend their time in a worthless activity. By worthless I mean, they have created nothing valuable. It will create a loss of productivity and a decline in skills. Of course, if you do this on your own time and money, have fun.
Illinois taxes are already pretty darn high. Illinois is also experiencing net out-migration, reducing the taxpayer base. Increasing taxes will only make people leave faster. It's a rock and a hard place.

>Further, records from Pure VPN show that the same email
accounts Lin's gmail account and the teleportfx gmail account-were accessed from the same
WANSecurity IP address. Significantly, Pure VPN was able to determine that their service was
accessed by the same customer from two originating IP addresses: the RCN IP address from the
home Lin was living in at the time, and the software company where Lin was employed at the
time.

Also, it seems Lin knew or suspected this at least, seeing as he doesn't believe in a VPN service that doesn't keep logs:

>For example, on June 15, 2017,
Lin ... re-tweeted a tweet from "IPVanish," that read: "Your privacy is our priority. That's why we have a strict zero log policy." Lin criticized the tweet, saying, "There is no such thing as VPN that doesn't keep logs. If they can limit your connections or track bandwidth usage, they keep logs."

This will be a useful .pdf to keep on hand because I also don't believe in VPN's that don't keep logs. At a minimum they'll keep 30 days worth and in many countries may actually be required by law to keep them longer than that even (60-90 days usually).

As an aside, it's good to see another example that the FBI does actually investigate cases of cyberharrasment and takes doxing seriously, contrary to popular opinion.

> So, you're using the technical definition of open source from that organization instead of the popular one I was using.

The OSD is the popular, widely used definition, as opposed to simply "source available". In general, I've found a roughly 100% correlation between people who try to say that "open source" should mean something other than the OSD and people who have a vested interest in pushing something that the OSD wouldn't permit.

> The goal of copyleft is supposed to get modifications shared.

Under an open source license. Otherwise it's just an incompatible proprietary ecosystem that happens to encourage sharing within its walls. That doesn't help or contribute to the open source community at all.

> They need to update their requirements to match reality

Proprietary software vendors come and go, and they often think that the requirements should change to accommodate them. The world goes on, and people whose requirements include open source licensing continue to ignore software that doesn't meet those requirements. This is not new; there has been a steady progression of custom non-open licenses that try to blur the line for just about as long as FOSS has existed. Long before there was "commons clause" and "license zero" there was Microsoft's "shared source". It failed then, and it'll fail now.

I've already seen a number of conferences this year with talks on the agenda about the problems of non-open licenses that attempt to pretend to be open, and how to work around them.

Regarding the comments you linked to, "License Zero" is even more blatantly non-open. And multiple people already provided detailed issues with those comments, to which I have little more to add.

"open source" is a bright true/false line for a reason, much like "non-toxic" or "food safe". If you want to build something proprietary, go ahead, but trying to pretend it's open is harmful FUD.

and that is basically what happens in database software when the query executed 2nd and all the other following times. The mildly interesting difference is just radix tree vs. various [usually highly optimized] types of indexes and index/search optimized storage types available in a DB engine.

While correctly implemented embedded radix tree would probably be faster on smallish/medium datasets, the gain may be not worth the costs associated with basically implementing your own DB engine when it comes to datasets which wouldn't in its entirety normally sit in memory all the time and/or when complexity of the queries to run against a dataset makes you to implement your own full blown query language/API and/or when updates of the dataset by downloading/reloading the whole dataset become infeasible and you need to implement your own partial update machinery.
Helping teens root out misinformation and get media savvy
The thesis that the IVC language may have been related to Dravidian is dead as a dodo. Only Tamil nationalists pursue it. There's really nothing to the Elamo Dravidian hypothesis also. For a time it was pushed feverishly by a David McAlpin. The theory rested on a slender footing. Essentially there was a Dravidian affiliated language called Brahui spoken in Baluchistan by a small number which raised possibility of IVC language being Dravidian and at another remove, an Elamo Dravidian language family. But the Brahui language is now accepted by most experts as a medieval period (i.e., 1000-1600 AD) immigrant into the highlands of Baluchistan from Central India. This has basically blown the stuffing off the Dravidian hypothesis for IVC - not that it was ever very strong. The Dravidian language family, in the opinion of experts, continues to be an isolate confined to southern India.

Not for me! I often find myself refactoring tangential features while producing a new one. Sometimes that will even intersect in a single file. But that refactoring doesn't come with any changes relevant to the feature I am working on in my branch. So I save them for their own isolated commit(s). While this doesn't happen on every commit, it probably happens for me about every other push. The alternative is bundling in a bunch of changes that have very little to do with the feature that my branch is ostensibly about.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I also have several repos where I have changes that I never intend to ever commit them, because they are development conveniences for me personally.

> Money supply isn't the issue here.
> If everyone has another x+12,000 dollars, the amount of money available for low income housing has strictly increased. Landlords are then in a position to raise prices proportionally.

You're contradicting yourself through sloppy thinking. If everyone has another x+12,000 dollars, the money supply has increased. That's the definition of money supply.

It's also a total strawman and not what UBI proposes to do. For example, my wife and I make about $150,000 combined. UBI would basically do nothing for us because of the taxes we'd pay to support it. If anything we'd have less money, not $12,000 more.

The only people who'd have $12,000 more are the totally unemployed and homeless.

The point of UBI isn't that everyone gets more money, it's that everyone is guaranteed to have the means not to starve or be homeless at a minimum.

People who support UBI (including myself) do so not because they would have more money (as stated, I personally would almost certainly lose money), but because they would have less RISK. That's what UBI really does. It lowers the risk of life choices and gives people the freedom to make choices that otherwise they could not have made.

If I'm one of the lucky (which so far, I have been), UBI does nothing for me. But if tomorrow I'm crippled in a car accident and can no longer work, UBI guarantees a certain minimum standard of living.

That’s true, and it’s the reason the tools I mentioned were written in Bash in the first place.

Python 2/3 was a pain, Ruby had very disparate versions available. But now, a few years later, you can assume at least Ruby 1.9 nearly everywhere, and OTOH still can’t use any of the Bash 4 features. There also quite decent cross-platform packaging solutions for python, ruby, node, go, crystal, mruby that make it really hard to choose bash for any serious project.

Not the OP, but I made a similar transition. I got fed up with using APT to manage packages while Yum/DNF seem much more complete and elegant. I seem to get far fewer package conflicts with Yum, and the error messages when something does go wrong are more digestible, though this may be just due to my use case/package selection. I also dislike the use of the dash shell by default. To me, it just further muddies the water between compatibility of sh, bash, and dash. I'd rather just have bash and be done with it.

Fedora's packages are also more up to date while being as or more stable than Ubuntu. Debian is still probably king of stability, but when compared to CentOS, I prefer CentOS' default package selection and configuration (postfix vs exim, sudo installed by default, ssh installed and enabled by default) , especially since they embrace systemd while Debian seems to use it grudgingly while also keeping around old methods of configuration that don't quite fit with systemd (network configuration being the big one here, don't even get me started on Ubuntu's adoption of friggin' Netplan)
