Good point. It would be interesting to see some studies on the expected tax increases to make this work in practice.

There would still be the potential problem of people choosing not to work (affecting tax revenue), but this is much harder to predict of course.
It's more complicated than this. For quite a number of people this isn't a choice. Many companies are locked into a hardware platform, many average users are locked into a hardware platform because of social expectations (i.e. all of my friends/family using Face Time, my office uses OSX office documents, etc).

This, and the problem that users are being told that _they_ are the problem. Keyboard breaks? Stop getting dust on it. Light show on display? Stop opening and closing the lid. Signal cuts out? You're holding it wrong.

Capitalism only works with regulation - you can't have a completely free market devoid of strict regulation to uphold some kind of minimal standards.

Any realistic UBI scheme works by adjusting marginal tax rates to compensate. Everyone gets the BI but it’s effectively taxed away from those with enough other income. Assuming the BI replaces many of the current benefits, it can be implemented by only slightly increasing tax rates for the highest income brackets.
What are you exactly looking for? a) Someone to scale your current business by building a sales team? b) a hunter that will hunt and close deals? c) an account manager that will expand your business with your excisting clients? d) all of the above? In any case the best way to test a sales rep 1) is to check his or her direct and indirect references. 2)Check his or her understanding of complex sales cycles and multilevel selling. 3)Discuss the deals they have won and lost. 4) Check how they have won back deals. 5) Ask what the most difficult deal was they have worked on and what they have done to bring the deal in the companys favor. 6) Let him or her create a presentation as a sales rep for your company and present it back to you. Final toughts: If you want the best you have to pay the bes. If you can’t afford the best offer maximum freedom (with prerequisites and KPI’s)

When there are so many software options that don't involve buying from companies that use these kind of tactics, it's difficult to see how this will work out for Oracle in the long term.

Sure in the short-term they'll rinse companies for large amounts of money, but people tend to remember when that's been done to them, and aren't exactly keen to have it happen again.

Whilst I have no direct experience, a quick search indicates that IBM have similar practices. I wonder when/if that'll bleed across into Redhat.

> The man on the other hand seems to have this outlook that since he used to be a journalist, if he doesn't get another job as a journalist, he'll get to collect unemployment benefits indefinitely.

> I wonder if that's him gaming the system or if that's really how the system in Finland works.

If it's like Sweden, then he still has to apply for jobs and is pushed to go outside of his field if he is to continue getting benefits.

So many people identify strongly with their occupation. This man is a journalist and author and used to be able to sustain on that. It's as if switching field would be admiting defeat and losing yourself.
While this is said in jest, it might become the reality. Cars are designed for life time of more than 10 years, much longer for trucks, buses and commercial vehicles.

Not 100% sure if any startups are planning this far ahead in the future.
The ongoing Chinese colonization of Africa is one of the biggest stories the western news media has absolutely no interest in reporting.

Perhaps because the Chinese are not (being allowed) to 'colonize Africa'. They may have a large presence in East Africa but are of limited significance elsewhere in the continent.
Your opinion is incorrect - it was possible to save home, work etc without agreeing to "Search & Web History" until a few months ago. Google had to add new flows on the save buttons to get this opt in from users. Anyway, there is no logical reason to need Search & Web History to store a couple of map labels.

The real impact the team was looking for was building better advertising profiles on users.

The question is which side is telling the truth.
If you want a bigger scale experiment, you could have a look at the French RMI/RSA, it is not exactly a basic income, because it is given only to unemployed people. But, it is 550 euros/months, it has existed since 1988, and it is given under very loose conditions. It is now given to more than a million people. People that have recently lost their jobs receive another bigger help.

It is unclear what is the outcome. Some people will say that it is helping poor people, others will say that it demotivates people to find a job and is contributing to French high unemployment rate. It is really unclear.

edit: To receive RMI/RSA, one also need to be looking for a job, but it is not really enforced.

Why is it that mathematicians are so comfortable with using ordering to encode semantics?

Evident from this thread it seems many developer recognize the need to use proper labels to simplify reasoning. Doesn’t mathematicians have similar desires?
Unemployment benefits are more than $560 per month in Finland apparently, so this wouldn't be able to replace that (certainly not in a way which makes the administrative cost unnecessary).

And I bet that once somebody getting those 400 euros a month decides to take that risk, they will not be entitled the support money anymore.
Arguably, the tax increase is zero: all the money is immediately returned. What matters is the redistribution: who pays more (and how much) and who gets more.

Also, for those who pay more, part of the tax increase is fictitious, since it would be compensated by their UBI. Someone paying $2000 before and $3000 now would not actually see an increase of $1000, just $440.
Finnish is similar with the various suffixes based on context. The rules are reasonably regular, and in a classroom with a list I can make the right choices.

Doing it in real-time when speaking is more of a challenge though.
>So instead of a flat costing for instance $500 a month, it will cost $1000 month because everyone can afford the $500 flat.

In this scenario, presumably all businesses raise their prices to the total UBI amount. But now people on UBI who could previously afford multiple goods and services no longer can, because each business demands the entirety of their UBI, participation in the economy is infeasible. Therefore, most of those businesses go under, being unable to actually sell anything and make a profit (bear in mind that this inflation also applies to business owners, and any costs of doing business as well.)

This won't happen for the reason renters don't ask for your income and simply demand 100% of your income as rent nowadays - economics isn't that simple. No one is going to buy a flat if they can't also afford utilities and food while living there.

> being used in practice.

And that's great. But then please argue/describe from practice, and not from some largely mythical fundamental differences in programming model that only confuse. That would be really helpful, thanks.

> layout and text measurement

Yup, as I mentioned, the text APIs in Cocoa/CocoaTouch/Quartz are so rancid that just slapping on a TextLabel is incredibly more convenient, despite the fact that you get horrible messy subview soup (I like that term, can I borrow it?).

The solution would probably be better text APIs. Which are actually not that hard to build.

https://github.com/mpw/DrawingContext

(Alas, the text stuff in particular is only partially complete, I had more important projects. The very rough idea is to be able to essentially printf() into a view)

> drawRect [..] only specifies rendering.

Yep.

> But UIs usually care about local state

Right, that's why drawRect is embedded into these things called Views, which have local state.

> Especially in lists.

Right. And you have easy-to-use Views like NSTableView that handle lists beautifully, without you having to worry about the active set of subviews. Essentially you give it a data source and it will ask the data source about what it needs, when it needs it. Meaning it can handle arbitrarily large/infinite lists without problems. There are layers of customizability, from just delivering data via specifying cells to customise drawing/interaction all the way to having the NSTableView use arbitrary subviews to represent rows/columns.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nstableview...

No new programming model required, just a view within the current programming model.

And of course if you create your own views, they handle both the drawing (drawRect) and the interaction.

Would universal basic income reduce crime by making it easier for employees to decline immoral tasks?
Intel has its own compiler, surely they could ask their compiler gurus to help with ISA design.

Well that kinda was the concept - but they greatly underestimated the difficulty of producing a "sufficiently smart compiler". If VLIW had worked it would have greatly simplified processor design, no (or at least much less) need to worry about cleverly handling out-of-order execution for example. That in turn would have meant e.g. bigger L1 caches because you would have the die space to play with, or more execution units, or whatever.

It didn't work out and Intel did make some stupid decisions along the way (also underestimating the importance of backwards compatibility with existing code - not only binaries, but you also needed to be able to compile existing source well) but it was worth a punt, and maybe will be again someday - maybe a DL-based compiler could produce good VLIW code? Maybe a new (or old) language will be more amenable to VLIW compilation than C?
> "Capitalist," ... was actually coined by Marx specifically to name his enemies.

Wikipedia [0] disagrees: The Hollandische Mercurius uses "capitalists" in 1633 and 1654 to refer to owners of capital. In French, Étienne Clavier referred to capitalistes in 1788,six years before its first recorded English usage by Arthur Young in his work Travels in France (1792).In his Principles of Political Economy and Taxation (1817), David Ricardo referred to "the capitalist" many times. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, an English poet, used "capitalist" in his work Table Talk (1823). Pierre-Joseph Proudhon used the term "capitalist" in his first work, What is Property? (1840), to refer to the owners of capital. Benjamin Disraeli used the term "capitalist" in his 1845 work Sybil.

Yes, this was my point. Desktop environments have standard sets of battle-hardened components for good reasons.
Of course, but in any case, someone who lives off welfare doesn't have the money to start a business. The only option is to ask a bank for money, and they won't give you shit if you're living off welfare.
What does “open conferences” mean?

Last time I checked, fees for participating in ML related conferences are very high (compared to registration fees for conferences in academic fields with less hype). This makes them less open because cost is a financial barrier to participation.
Easy, Oracle bashers keep forgetting that Oracle and IBM pay the majority of salaries on OpenJDK developers.

It would probably push prices up, but the impact on individuals would depend on their non-basic income.

Say I earn nothing, then a UBI of $100/month comes in; I have increased my income by an infinite percentage.

Say I earn $10,000 and the same UBI comes in, I have increased my income by 1%.

This results in a general flattening of the income v. population percentile curve, effectively flatting out income differentials and promoting equality.

Things do go haywire if the governing thought is "everyone should get enough money to buy an X" in some scenario where there are Y people and (Y-1) Xs floating around. It doesn't matter how much money people have if there are not enough goods.
The law of supply and demand will always force the cost of goods to go up if there is not enough supply vs demand. You're right there is no scenario, without technological improvement, in the long term, where items get affordable just because people have more money.

But there are some items that are in oversupply that would always be affordable so giving someone money to buy it will probably help. I can only think of virtual goods as goods that are always in oversupply. A place to live is not one of those items.

One of the reasons that merchants do not enable 3DS for all transactions is that it hurts conversion. However, from September 14, nearly all online transactions in the EU will need to be authenticated by 3DS (2.0). 3DS 2.0 is supposed to be a much smoother experience, thereby reducing the negative effect that it has on conversion.
Based on author's name it seems we came from the same country.

I used "came" and not "come" since it just feels more appropriate considering it's two different countries countries now.

I don't think I've ever heard about "split infinitive" before.

Perhaps I did - and it's just that the "school way" of learning foreign languages always confused me.

My first foreign language was German and at this point I basically can't have a conversation using it - at best I can kind of understand what someone is saying.

Though to be fair living in The Netherlands Dutch kind of highjacked it.

The way I learned English was simply pure interest. Watching Hollywood and British movies and TV series, reading computer/programming books and other "stuff on the Internet".

Teachers were equally confused by the fact I have had problems with recognizing/naming different tenses and grammar forms - and still getting it (mostly) right just by "gut feeling".

And actually I've been able to "think in English" for a long time. So long that these days I occasionally have trouble coming up with idiomatic way to say something in my native/mother tongue (Serbian).

Nobody outside of RenTech knows what trading strategies RenTech are using, because they're extremely secretive. There is a strong suspicion that they are generating very high returns by passing on concealed risks to other, less sophisticated players - in the case of RenTech, literally anyone else in the market counts as less sophisticated.

Yes, this entire discussion is part of a whole other problem: there's too many properties of programs one has to trust esp. on desktop (or alternatively be stuck configuring selinux for days).

One should/must/can not build an operating system on trust alone, as especially the mobile software space consistently continues to show with its numerous malware apps (imagine that on the desktop! "oh sure, have root/admin '50 smileys FOR FREE'", "oh sure, be able to read and write all my user's files <insert dubious clicker app>").

Mobile OSs have become vastly better (not perfect still) than this than desktop OSs.

I would like to see desktop Linux's application management adapt a minimum necessary permissions policy: Allow access to some ressource/API/permission only if the app needs it (and the user allows it of course) and offer mechanisms to allow permission management and ways to enable inter-application communication. This also modularises applications more by bundling up their connections to the rest of the platform and their effects in a central location.

For instance sandboxing applications into their own empty folder would make it simpler to operate on files these applications created (backup, migrate, autocreate <- NixOS would benefit from these especially, allowing finer grained declarative control). It would still be okay then for application developers to follow their own conventions within that sandbox.

Nowadays files are all bunched up in arbitrary folders and nobody knows where they're coming from. It's become so much harder these days to coordinate so many projects that need to create files in the home folder on Linux by trying to introduce standards versus taking that capability away from programs transparently; this should also be much more efficient man-hours-wise.

That said, this is going to be a nontrivial project with how many implicit connections between applications exist. Executing untrusted (or buggy!, I'm looking at you, Steam) software should no longer have to make me afraid my system gets messed up.

For now I think it's best to simply not run untrusted programs and creating regular backups... I wish I had the time/skills to work on something like this.
Hey,

First of all, i like the idea of centralizing the security around GPG in tech teams, there almost no tools that help with that.
The first problem that comes to my mind is that we don't understand how you will provide the product, is that a hardware key ? A Desktop client ?
For exemple in my case, i've setup yubikey for our devops team, i personally think that it's the best way to have gpg key around.
- Do your service/product will work with it ?
- If you don't provide a hardware key, how can you provide enough security ?

A great example of tech explanations is krypt.co [0] [1] which provide really example for different roles.

Someone will write the software one way or another. All that OP would achieve by leaving is to increase the price for this specific thing a little bit. Also, insiders like OP always have specific insights into the full extent of the thing they are involved in so they also know really well how bad it is.
