The progressive case for replacing the welfare state with basic income (2016)
Near zero. Few are really portraying how expensive this is. $1k a month for every American is just under 4 trillion dollars. For every adult American it would be just under 2.5 trillion. Currently, the entire federal budget is 3.8 trillion dollars. The GDP is 19.5 trillion. We're looking to spend an amount equivalent to the entire federal budget or 10-20% of the whole country's GDP on UBI. Yang's attempt to portraying this as fiscally feasible is based on the assumption that UBI will automagically result in extreme economic growth.
Surely these days that question is answered by the existence of GitLab and several other similar tools.

Judging from how active and well-received Dalai Lama is in the west and how many westerners have bothered to go to Tibet to see it for themselves, I would say yes you focus too much on our human right issues for how little you care about what's really happening.

Right or wrong do exist, I also think Xi is an a-hole. But people ignore issues that are "inconvenient" for them and their allies is what drives me crazy. I would prefer people put their own oxygen masks on before helping others.

For the southern parts of China, I would say almost all the countrymen have access to tap water. For the northwestern parts, it is still pretty bad, a lot of them still rely on rivers/wells, although I don't have numbers. As for how clean the water is, that is something I have no idea about, and I am not optimistic.

Edit: grammar.
If you are referring to the large transformer clearly visible in the first photo at the top, that is most likely the AC mains transformer that supplies power to the modem. This device would have been built before the days of switching power supplies, and linear power supplies (esp. 50 year old ones) often begin with a step down transformer of about that size

Just as an aside, I thought that was an exceptionally well-written product announcement, or press release, or whatever you'd call it. It was long, but I didn't mind reading the whole thing. It answered all the basic questions about why I should use it, how they plan to make money, and with enough technical detail that I understood essentially how it works. It was very much the opposite of the marketing material you get from most big corporations. I'm saving the page as a PDF as a good example if and when I need to write a product announcement.
I've been encouraged by his campaign thus far. Which seems to be much more focused on problems and solutions than engaging in the fruitless wrestling match that is our current political reality.

My uncle used to do this work and it was purely voluntary, he liked it because he got out into the great outdoors instead of sitting around the prison yard being bored.

They don't let the "hardcore convicts" out into the forests but the minimum security prisoners who could easily escape if they really wanted to, my uncle used to get caught doing stupid stuff (mostly theft to feed his drug habit) and would do his time without causing trouble so he was trusted enough to not run off into the woods causing a statewide manhunt.

He actually does a really good job breaking down where he plans for each dollar to come from. For a candidate to have a dollar by dollar break down to account for his plan is something I don't remember seeing. While I can't say his plan is feasible, I can say at least he has one.
As Andrew Yang points out, UBI has been implemented in Alaska for decades.

Why it might pass? First UBI is popular with independents. Second, if Yang becomes president, thats some damn strong signaling to Congress to support UBI.

Saudi Aramco is essentially part of the Saudi government, not an apples to apples comparison IMO. If they're going to discount the free mineral rights given to Aramco, then they should also account for the social services that the government uses Aramco to pay for, because without the social services, you're not getting free mineral rights.

Plenty of extremely poor Chinese immigrants scrimp and save every penny to pay for top notch tutoring for their children. This isn't really about wealth, it's about culture and ability.
I have to mostly agree... Cloudflare has actively participated with a lot of communities to bring better CDN options to open-source projects who otherwise would be overloaded. I'm not sure how much I actually trust GSuite, ironically preferring Office365 to it as there are huge, gaping holes in it's usefulness, specifically group email tethered to a horribly broken secondary interface (groups) and the fact that the product as a whole has languished a lot.

I'm in a position where I do appreciate Google's software, Chrome/V8 and resulting node and electron as downstream projects. However, my trust of Google is waning in light of their incredibly divisive culture all around and a lot of their practices, cover ups and just poor form in the sun-setting of "don't be evil."
I would like to see some sources like this that are language agnostic that give you the tools needed to implement your own popular tool. For example, where could I look to find a written description of the way git works from the ground up? Kind of like a "guide to implementing X" type of thing, but without code.
That, in turn, tends to have a lot to do with the incentive structures of the person coming up with the metrics.

If you've got someone who's been tasked with improving large-scale system outcomes, and they're developing metrics that are meant to be a means to that end, then you might expect them to come up with a well-crafted set of metrics. Of course, you can only expect them to implement those metrics to the extent that they're able to alter the system in a way that allows for collecting them. The best plan in the world isn't worth much if nobody has the power to execute on it.

If, on the other hand, they're being designed by someone whose task was, "We need to be more data-driven; come up with some metrics and give me a dashboard," they're going to do exactly that. No more, no less.

Well now I'm feeling old.
the very first first mover advantage was that php was the free alternative to asp, jsp, and coldfusion. all of these languages were built around the simple premise that web devs wanted to inject code into html, which is the way beginners tended to think about coding.

asp locked you into microsoft, jsp was laden with heavy/expensive java app servers and semantics, and coldfusion was a paid product (and eventually locked you into macromedia/adobe).

i think that if coldfusion had the same free+paid model as php, it would have taken the place of php in web history. despite its faults (maintenance and performance, for example), it was easier and faster to learn and matched the mental model of beginners, just like html itself.
There is a big difference between traffic numbers of youtube and surfing the net. I may have a documentary open in the background while I read dozens of other websites.
He proposes a value-added tax to raise much of the money. Next, you can't receive both social security and the UBI. Other social welfare programs can't be utilized a long with the UBI either. If for instance you're receiving $400 in food stamps, you only get $600 in UBI. With that said, yes, he is relying on this boosting the economy (tax revenue) to pay for the rest.
Okay that makes more sense.

Unfortunately AFAIK all community run mods for Android require bootloader to be unlocked.
This isn't terribly surprising to me. Pulling money out of the ground is a high-margin, low (relative) cost deal. Like selling $1 for $2.

I do wonder how many people know that the wealthiest companies are private, just like how the wealthiest people/families/syndicates do not publish nor reveal their wealth in any meaningful way. It's like the universe's dark matter. At some point, money becomes power, and power always whispers.

No, it’s not, or at least not as fast as the current churn in frontend JS dev. I started doing Cocoa dev on the Mac in 2005. There have been changes to be sure, the biggest being the introduction of Swift I’m 2014. But I’m still using AppKit. I can (and do) still use Objective-C alongside Swift. And I have a pretty big codebase dating back to 2006 that still compiles and runs fine even with the latest version of Xcode.

(I realize this isn’t backend dev, but there are other kinds of programming besides web development :-))
There's actually a whole industry around this in certain low tax areas in Switzerland. High end retirement/nursing homes in olaces with low/zero inheritance tax, so the family can park the elderly relatives in good care until the inevitable happens but then avoid paying inheritance tax. It looks silly, when you have almost entire villages whose core business is this.
The team of MBA's can probably help avoid 172k$/second types of mistakes no?
The article didn't mention anything about the volume at which they played the music. It'd be interesting to know because I live next to a lake and could benefit from less feeding mosquitoes!

Fyi - I don't have a problem with them.
