Yes it is. Are we just going to go back and forth like this?
UBI as such doesn’t imply anything regarding the source of the money.

My favorite scheme, f.ex, would rely entirely on a geoistic LVT-style dividend. The idea there is basically to capture externalities as rent, so no debt, taxes or money printing involved.
But saying "they don't know we exist" suggests a lack of representation, which is very different to spending. I've lived in Wales, Northern England, and Scotland; I'm not at all going to argue with you about spending -- but spending does localise in high population areas, no? I don't really think it's that politicians don't represent their areas, but there is a limited pot of money and it does make business sense to spend where there is a better return. We're not of course running a business: I just don't like representation and spending to be considered coterminous.

FWIW, your north-south divide article talks, amongst other things, about life-expectency (LE). I think the thing you notice most in https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan... (eg figure 5 of whole UK) is that England has higher LE than the other parts of the UK, and that there are a number of northern areas (Ribble, Harogate, York, etc.) with higher LE than any area of Scotland, say.

Funnily enough Wales/Scotland get the same issues in miniature, where spending is focussed on the larger population centre in the South. But all areas have representation. Still if you're working poor, you can live anywhere, the spending in that area may be higher, but that doesn't mean you have a better life; it might even be harder if you're living amongst richer people (higher prices for accommodation, etc.).

It's one of the things that I've liked about being in the EU, spending is distributed better to poor areas than it would normally be under Tory spending control.
Now this will make the Erlang people happy :D

Sometimes I have the impression that functional programmers dislike Go especially for having such an inelegant language design ;-)

Personally, I don't have hard feelings for either side: I love Go and like the functional style in general (I know a bit of Scheme). Erlang is one of my top 2 languages I want to learn (together with Rust).

That's a pretty standard figure of speech. Why do you think it's a weird word choice?
> Love is seeing them with a significant other and knowing that you have zero chance of ever being with them, because of circumstances or past events, and yet would do anything and everything for that person. And you have done that, giving up all money/time, and taking in personal pains, just so you can see a smile, or knowing they are in a better place.

This is pretty toxic tbh. If you really feel this way about someone who has a significant other that they're serious about, the best thing you can do is leave their life (if you really can't get your feelings under control). No good will come from a one sided relationship with someone who not only is unrequited but also happily involved with someone else. It's not fair to any of the three parties involved.

If you really want what's best for them, let them go.
Quite often in the UK Civil servants do this as in the past there was an assumption that you did not vote.

There are some very strict rules nothing with the candidates name or party name within a certain radius of the poling station - poll watchers cannot go inside the building unless escorted and so on.

The issue is that the "outraged crowd" has a habit to assume they have the moral highground and start forcing changes to rules/habits/processes/... even when their views are shared by far less than 50% of the population.

For those who do not agree with those changes, it becomes pretty important to actually be vocal about it, otherwise the "outraged" will assume that you are totally on board with their views. And since they are very quick to try to marginalize you by avoiding a healthy debate and quickly associating you with the worse of humanity, the easiest (and sometimes only) way to "win" is just to show that no, you are no nazi for believing $OPINION, because a lots of people believe that if you ask them.

So by all means be vocal about your opionions wether you are outraged and want to see society change, or you aren't and find some views blown out of proportion. This is the only way to actually measure if the majority of the population wants stuff to change. And that's how democracy works - which everyone should respect.
That's a great point. The cost of doing that is never calculated and the impact is so positive.
> I am not sure why 0 is not considered a prime number in this context.

So, if you have a set with multiplication and addition, that is called a ring. A very nice class of rings is called fields. This is where division is possible. Another way to state that 'division is possible' is to say that multiplication is a group operator on the entire set except zero.

- Along the same lines, be upfront about what you might do - or not - with any data using the product might provide.
- Why? Why did you do this? There's a difference between launching some cookie cutter product and a side project for learning / exploring.

My wife was recently accepted into Lambda School. From my research, I think it'll be a good deal. Your two points are spot on IMO: better education due to incentive alignment at the cost of higher payment if it works. But I think I give more weight to the "better education" point and less weight to the "higher payment" point.

For one, I think incentive alignment is extremely powerful. Austen Allred talks about it a bit here.[1] (Great interview). Although reducing risk for the students is a benefit, it seems that the effect it has on the quality of lambda's education is much more important. In fact I think that a good source of startup ideas is to simply find existing systems with misaligned incentives and then figure out how to align them--I'm planning to try something like that in the music industry myself.

Also, I don't think profit sharing is a terrible financial decision. You're not just paying to reduce risk: you're paying to get a better education. You could take a normal pay-up-front bootcamp and slap an income share agreement on it, but that won't recreate lambda school. (Austen makes this point in the interview as well).

As for self-directed learning: it also worked for me, but I do think a lot of people need extra support before they can do it effectively. I was fortunate in that I was introduced to programming as a kid and thus had lots of time to just mess around. It's harder once you've already entered the grind.

> That’s not an apples to apples comparison, as Lambda School’s schedule doesn’t align with a university schedule.

It's apples to apples wrt income sharing agreements as an alternative to loans. You're of course right that there are significant curricular differences.

> A student will have spent about 2,000 hours in Lambda School by graduation - the equivalent of ~4 university semesters, because we go all day every day and don’t take breaks.

University students should be going every day and not taking breaks.

> And comparing the amount of debt vs the total possible cost doesn’t make for an accurate comparison either.

I agree that this isn't the best possible comparison, but I couldn't even find the data to make a better one. Does Lambda School publish average paybacks?

> Also note that by the time a Lambda School student is at year four, if we want to factor in the opportunity cost of time, a Lambda School student has paid Lambda School back and has three years of earnings/work experience.

On the other hand, a 4 year degree with 2+ majors is much more robust to shifts in labor market demand. Which does shift from under you feet.

In fact, that very dynamism is regularly referenced in Lambda School's marketing...

> ...and have earned an additional $250k?

So, do lambda grads not on average max out the payout, or do they on average make way less than $250k over 2 years? You can't have it both ways ;-)

To answer your question: I lived through dotcom, '08, and lots of shifts in tech stacks that corresponded with layoffs of folks who didn't have foundation skills to keep up (Java/C/mainframe programming grads from community colleges who never could "grok" the web). So I have one answer about this versatility/robustness vs. maximizing short term returns question.

But I'm sure people who have never seen a down cycle or major shift in tech have a different one.

Just to be clear, I'm not ragging on you or your comment at all, because I see this all over the place and it's not something specific to you.

But it's interesting that a lot of people might credit iOS for adding this feature, when my (Android 2.2/2.3) MyTouch 4g had this functionality almost 10 years ago.
The pushback I have gotten om my tongue-in-cheek rants defending 0 as a natural number would suggest not everyone agrees.

Some people really care about 1/n being possible for every natural number N.
Love it, but one suggestion:

I'd change the headline to "1MB – Free and easy static website hosting and database".

That database is the edge you have compared to Netlify and Github pages people are asking for :)

The authentication part is a nice touch, too. Feels more like a community thing.

Checked out the API and you even have easy to setup database permissions. I like it.

-

Questions: do you plan to offer paid plans for people wishing to host more than 1MB, or having paid support? Maybe paid private login workspaces and SSO could be a paid feature too.
You act like it isn't super easy to stumble upon these communities, but all it takes is having your curiosity piqued by an edgy-sounding comment that could be in any /r/all thread. You don't have to seek it out, you just have to be a naturally curious person and you can easily find yourself down a rabbit hole of hate speech filled individuals and communities.

In Belgium citizens are selected at random (there are filters such as age and civic rights I think) and are obliged to manage the electoral place set with ballots. If there isn't enough people showing up then the first voters are supposed to do the job.

You are supposed to get fined if you fail to show up and you were chosen but it's rarely applied except for the chief (president is the term) (who is also chosen at random) of the voting booths.

Voting is mandatory in Belgium so it kinda/maybe make sense to pick people among the population.

You are compensated for the day's work but not much.

I'd rather have random citizen do that job than civil servants.

I have a HL5250DN that I picked up for $70 at least 5 years ago. It’s been going strong since then with occasional home printing duties and despite it not supporting modern wireless printing, Brother’s own “iPrint&Scan” software (with the printer hooked up via wired Ethernet) was a welcome discovery.

Would never have thought I could print directly from an iPad/iPhone to a ~12 year old printer like that, but it works really well. I was quite impressed it was possible and will never buy an HP/Epson inkjet again.

Article 37 says that a DPO is needed if the controller and processor (a) is a public authority or body (except for courts), (b) their core activities require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects on a large scale, or (c) their core activities include processing on a large scale of special categories of data from Article 9 or data related to criminal convictions and offences referred to in Article 10.

It sounds like their EU site would not fall under any of those.

Their US site might, but their US site seems like it would be out of scope for GDPR according to Article 3, because it is not offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union.
I call bullshit. 12 million acres of solar panels could power the whole of the US. We already lease twice that amount to oil and gas and twice that too just growing corn for ethanol. Solar would actually be a more efficient usage of land than the status quo just in terms of energy production.
The problem is he's not marketing his product here on HN for his benefit. He's not writing up a post about his ideas and process of creating his product, just spamming the forum for exposure. The mods really have to crack down on this type of viral self serving marketing, or it'd just encourage more people to do the same. On top of that, it's a shittier product that other people have done and done better at the same cost. Maybe post it somewhere where people are actually looking for this product.
> also give leadership to juniors

You don't give leadership - you assign ownership, and hope leadership evolves from those responsibilities. Leadership is nurtured by helping the junior navigate issues, holding a vision for them long enough until they can realize it on their own.

There's a reason good leadership is so rare and appreciated, and it's not because it grows on trees.

Calling from a landline (or anything that you can't move without a lot of effort) will always give extra information such as where the phone is located (if you've ever signed up for landline service you entered this in somewhere, carriers are required to record it). Some even have specific information, like "3rd floor west stairwell at [address]", but that's only for public buildings. I'm sure you could call 911 and give them a heads up if you had a reason to believe you might call in the future, though. Office phones usually have a office number or at least a hallway (this is why calling 911 from a VoIP phone has a delay, it needs to route you through a real phone number with this information, and Cisco's solution for that is really slow).

A lot of areas have the ability to query a cell phone for its location, but it depends on how much that city/county/state(?) spends on 911. It's usually based on carrier location (so it's not really that helpful anyway), and calling from their phone probably won't help much since you're both in the same location. Caller ID might help if they have a recurring problem (like if they have epilepsy or something that the medics that show up would need to know), but for a concussion it's pretty unlikely they had called 911 before so it probably wouldn't have done much. I remember reading something about iOS sending medical cards somehow when you call 911, but I don't think that's a feature yet (and it relies on iOS, so if they didn't have an iphone it wouldn't help anyway).

Source: I help test emergency boxes (the things with the blue lights in parking lots), landline phones, and cell phones at my job every year. I have to confirm different info based on what I'm calling from. On cell phones, it's just the number the call is being made from. By the way, if you're wondering, 911 does not appreciate hundreds of test calls being made unannounced over the course of a day. We do it anyway :^) (we're required to)
Averages are a little misleading because pretty much everyone touches python only about half the engineering team uses it as their primary programming language. I don't have the median number of commits or lines per commit handy - but that would be a better approximation of developer productivity.
No idea, but that seems like a reasonable choice in that case.

Yes the project was impactful, but there already was a reference implementation with a reference performance target. Worst case scenario, they would have been back to using the old implementation.
I understand "casual love" poorly, but imagining myself engaging in it, I picture some chaotic asteroid collision chain reaction. The asteroids are people, and the collisions are the hook-ups. The hook-ups must be episodes of sex mixed with the psychological trauma of infatuation ("falling in love"?).

It sounds horrifying and disruptive...

But, to me, even sex in itself would be unappealing so casually; the only thing that can overcome the surface-level, material ugliness of other humans enough to make me want to have sex with them is long-term familiarity and mutual interest, and that sounds pretty anathema to "leave anytime, no expectations lol". :p So I guess the typical relationship escalator is what feels most natural to me.

But then the poly model probably assures you a LOT more sex and relationships than mine, which requires meeting naturally and then building guarded, incremental trust, which, due to a mix of how our society is structured (there's HEAVY sexual partitioning of interests, hobbies, and careers) and my personality (I only engage with the most partitioned elements of society), ostensibly never happens for me. :D
Nice to hear! Sounds like you have a great product AND a plan :)
If they didn't build it well, you throw it away, and you're only out what you paid the temporary worker and your code review/acceptance test.

The point is this was a well-specified, independent component with an existing functional implementation. This makes an ideal intern/temp/first project, because of those factors - it doesn't require deep knowledge of the organization or other services in the environment or business requirements. You build this, and if we like it, we use it and may give you a job offer.

Unless given other information, you can assume the company complied with the law with respect to paying the intern and the intern accepted the internship offer, and it sounds like he got a great experience out of it.

Given how hand washing can become an OCD, and the shock that his dawning realization must have been, I don't doubt that he might have become a little crazy.

The renown out of whack methods of the insane asylum are a different matter. What's the equivalent of washing hands when picking someones brain? Dropping presumptions? First I thought you meant "washing hands" figuratively, as I didn't predict the context.
I don't think we should be ticketed for speeding.

Conversely, I do think that we should be ticketed for "hazardous driving" (weaving in and out of cars, cutting people off, and other things that directly lead to wrecks), failure to stop at signs and lights, failure to yield when other cars present.

There also have been many times in which I have driven significantly under the posted limit because the conditions severely prevented it. Driving at the posted limit would also have been hazardous.

Conversely, driving 80 on the interstate while staying in a group of others going 80 +/-3 is not hazardous. Yet, that would get us ticketed in a jurisdiction where I am not a voter. Hence, my complaint of 'taxation without representation'. It also nearly guarantees my agreement of guilt, as they're counting on me not able to make it back for a court date.

(Sigh, gotta love the downvoters. Actual discussion is just 'too' hard.)
You’re making a strawman argument. There’s no question that it’s made Reddit a better place - marginalizing hate communities is something most people would agree is a good thing. There’s a reason there’s no ISIS subreddit, as an example. Giving equal billing to hate communities is normalizing them.
