Personally, I wouldn't stake my future on hoping the government doesn't notice what my hypothetical law-breaking company is doing. Or that my law-breaking unethical CEO won't lie and try to throw me under the bus if/when the company eventually gets caught.

I'll restate that I recommend OP talk to a knowledgeable lawyer to get an informed assessment of what kind of risks he/she is undertaking.

Rather than state being tied to a mutable instance, it is declaratively passed in.

I've lived most of my life in Texas. The Mexican immigrants here generally work as hard or harder than citizens, and they do hot dirty jobs that most Americans won't do. [edit] and the illegals work for less than legal pay because they have few options. They suck less from the government than the US citizens in the southern red states.

I guarantee that the immigrants are not tearing the US apart.
"citizens" is a term vague to the point of meaninglessness. Not sure what you're definition you're using, but pretty much all authoritarian communist governments in the 20th and 21st century had citizens in charge of the government. That didn't do a whole lot of good for the citizens that were not in charge. The DPRK is pretty much the only one where the responsibility of who was in charge was passed on from parent to child.
Yes, lifestyle inflation tends to follow income inflation and people end up better off, but no freer.

I think that's fine, the money goes right back into the economy and creates jobs. Hopefully some percentage of people will forgo the lifestyle inflation and use their newfound freedom to start businesses. That's the really interesting untested hypothesis of UBI to me. It's what I would do with it personally.
This is true, and some others support “years”.

I hope to add this feature soon.

I'll never forget the night I was cycling home from a bar, quite inebriated, and was passed with plenty of space (this was on a stroad) by a convertible (driven by a drunkard who'd just left the same bar) at high speed. Just after the car passed, my eye discerned in the dark another drunkard who just happened to have been crossing the road (not in an "official" crossing) right then. The car couldn't have missed him by more than six inches, and neither the pedestrian nor the driver even noticed. Holy shit.
Neither pthreads nor a dynamic linker are required for libc. pthreads is part of the POSIX standard, not the C standard, and many libc implementations over the years have not supported dynamic linking.

Taking away the the struggle to live is great for the human psyche. There's plenty of evidence that being in poverty creates a mental trap. When you're worrying about the roof over your head or food on the table, you're less concerned about your career or education. There's also the damaging long term mental affects of poverty such as impulsive buying, and the health effects such as poor diet, diabetes and obesity.

The biggest issue with UBI is mass unemployment. With ML threatening to take 40% of all jobs in the future it will be the perfect storm. It would create a massive, permanent, underclass. With no way to introduce capital into an economic system via labor, the only people able to make money will be landlords and business owners. It will be our current societal issues, only amplified to the next extreme. Landlords and business owners will see increasing UBI as dangerous, as buying land or creating a new company would be a threat. So they'll do their best to keep UBI at the level of being able to live, and not grow.

>I hate the fact that an autocratic and repulsive Government is showing up the US

I hate that you use this term. Every government is like a flawed human being. I see it as a spectrum but HN sees it as The USA way or the HighWay.

The autocracy and maintenance of that autocracy is exactly how the Chinese government can show up the US. A centralized government with no ulterior profit agenda is exactly the central pillar to make unbiased decisions without resistance.
> temper (1) to soften; mollify (2) to strengthen (e.g. a metal)

Not contradictory because hardness and toughness are 2 distinct (though correlated) properties. Tempering [1] is basically a process that trades some hardness (i.e. soften) for a lot of toughness (i.e. strengthen).

> Is it even possible to give everyone free money?

It's interesting that this question has two clear, opposed answers:

The answer from Economics: it's impossible to just give everyone money, because you just devalue your currency. In essence, given a fixed pool of "stuff" to buy and sell, the "buying power of the total pool of circulating currency" remains constant no matter what you do to your monetary policy. And, because certain things have elastic supply but inelastic demand (like housing), the owners of those goods (rentiers) can suck all benefits of wealth redistribution right back out of the economy.

The answer from Technology: it's certainly possible to just feed everyone for free, or to otherwise enable "free" increases in net global utility. An agrarian co-op covering just the current arable farmland of the United States, with all possible economies of scale due to centralization of resource processing, could probably feed the whole world using maybe 10,000 farmers. Eventually even those people could be replaced by robots (and the people producing the robots and doing the maintenance on the robots, too.) This rounds off to literally no human having to do work, for every human to be able to eat.

So, the disconnect: if we can (or could, in theory) increase net global utility with public-works projects, then why can't we increase net global utility with money? What's the economic difference between a world where robots grow all our food for us, and a world where we have the robots "grow" some free money instead (y'know, like by mining Bitcoin or something), and then use that money to pay the human farmers to grow the food? It seems like there's some part of market capitalism not working out for us here, if one world is possible and the other isn't.
It's actually weird because the search option also searches through the aliases of scales, so those aliases might not be present in my database...
Sure, I guess I worry that whatever mechanism caused rents to increase substantially faster than CPI [0] might be accelerated by UBI.

Implementing end to end encryption in these messaging apps won't make any of these issues worse. The criminals this will supposedly help already have easy and convenient ways to do the same thing. The government has not caught anyone of any importance this way, so encryption of Facebook messages won't hinder any real investigation methods.

This won't increase the number of people affected or reduce the number caught. The only thing encryption can do in this case is make it more difficult for the government or foreign governments to read personal messages.

Not implementing encryption here can only help people violate people's privacy, it cannot help the government do its job.
40% withdrawn as cash is a ton. Did the funders inform their test subjects that they can't/shouldn't do this? Virtually all expenses listed in this article accept debit cards, so there's no reason they should be withdrawing this much cash. If the purpose of this experiment is to show that people don't just buy vices like gambling and drugs, I'd say the experiment failed or was inconclusive.

I would go further to say that test subjects should report proof of all expenses for this experiment, because they could just offload the "good" stuff onto the debit card which leaves more room for "bad" stuff to be paid with your existing income, which isn't reported.
Interesting! I previously tried to do this with autossh, which seems like it does approximately the same thing, but autossh didn't seem to work in my use case. That use case being, I have a laptop with VMs, and ssh tunnels between the host and the VMs; when the laptop goes to sleep, sometimes the connections break when the laptop wakes up, because some timeout expired and sleeping hosts can't send or receive keepalives. I'm not sure why autossh didn't work, but I'll give this one a try!
No way. You can't even compare this to US car culture. A combustion engine for every single individual emits way more carbon.

Full disclosure, I am completely biased. I live near Seattle and am a boating enthusiast. If you ever get the opportunity to visit the San Juan Islands, do it.

My 2018 Honda regularly detects the wrong speed limit (45 miles per hour limit, but it detects 70) and will fail to detect any speed limit. It also seems like it can't detect Florida's interstate speed limit signs at all, since they have both the maximum and minimum speed limit on the same sign.
Check out Matrix. Sounds like what you’re describing.
"The young people are often too busy working and generally trying to survive"

I find this a very questionable statement. Most middle age people are working 40+ hours, on top of devoting hours to kids, maintenance etc. They are every bit as busy as young people, if not more so.

Politicians respond to only 2 things, votes and lobbyist dollars. If people want to make a change and have politicians stop ignoring them then they need to establish themselves as a reliable voting block. Until they do this they are just shouting into the wind / twitter / reddit / facebook.

I see the "UBI will just go to landlords" argument everywhere, and it is a very bad one.

Literally any policy that gives more money to the poor will increase demand for goods/services that low income people want (eg housing), and thus cause similar price pressure. Increasing purchasing demand from the poor is literally what redistribution is!

If you're opposed to UBI on this basis, you equally ought to give up on anything redistributive (or maybe you were just right wing all along).

The correct response to landlords sucking up money from the poor is to note:

- You can easily solve that via land taxes and wealth taxes more generally

- Even if the gains are swallowed up in aggregate, a UBI still has benefits in terms of equalizing demand (lowering housing inequality) and increasing income predictability.

I can't remember, but probably some cash of that magnitude.
Dunno about originally, but it certainly is now. From ~5 years ago, mine wasn't really a door, shipped to my satellite office, and they're not height-adjustable, so unless you ask, someone 5'0" uses the same desk as someone 6'4".

I guess this a difference between being frugal (or appearing that way) and being cheap. I can tell you from my paycheck, Amazon's not cheap.
This is the exact question I always ask UBI proponents and no one ever considers it.

UBI wouldn't be a problem in places where housing is not supply constrained, but everywhere else it would be. Until rent-seeking activity is addressed, I don't see how UBI is workable.

UBI might not even need to be discussed if we first addressed rent seeking activity that contributes to needing something like UBI in the first place. Politicians spend way too much effort on how much people earn and way too little time on how much people spend.
overall, McDonald's is probably not a good example of the sort of inflation that might occur under UBI. the supply of McDonald's meals is not really constrained. they can basically make as much food as people will buy, so the mere fact that people can afford more happy meals probably doesn't move the price. stuff like housing tends to be a lot more constrained, so you would expect rent/mortgages to go up roughly in proportion to how much extra money people have to bid them up.

now a large part of why McDonald's can sell you a meal for $4 is that they can pay people through the whole supply chain very little money to do mostly undesirable work. if you start just giving these people money, they might be less willing to do these jobs for the same pay. so McDonald's would either have to pay them more or invest in more automation. either way, some of the cost increase gets passed on to the consumer. the works get paid more, which is cool, but they also probably see the cost of most goods and services rise as well, which is less cool.

to be clear, I'm not actually arguing this is what would happen. I'm just explaining the naive econ 101 perspective on why UBI would cause inflation. even if it did cause inflation, it would still probably decrease inequality more efficiently than the current byzantine web of welfare, as long as it was funded by some sort of progressive tax(es).
Extremely boiled down TL/DR: The author's invention is a spaced repetition system built into an essay, so instead of having the cards isolated, the cards are embedded in the text itself.

At a technical level, that's certainly innovative, but I'm doubtful about whether it's actually an improvement on classical SRS. In my experience, one of the most important things for an SRS deck is speed of reviewing: a given card should take less than 1 second to review and rate. This is necessary if you're going to maintain decks with tens of thousands of cards. I find my brain does a remarkable job of reconstructing the surrounding context, so having the cards embedded in the original text would just be a time sink for me, I think.

> assuming that people are in fact paying at least $6k

That's the big difference. UBI most helps the people who are paying the least tax right now, such that a pure deduction wouldn't do anything for them. It's a "negative regressive" tax, whereas an increase in deductions/decrease in marginal rates—or a tax credit—is a "negative progressive" tax.
Literally any redistributive policy increases demands for goods. That's the whole point!
There are companies that will pay near FANG levels (maybe 10-15% haircut) without subjecting yourself to onerous completion of hundreds of LeetCode problems. There are other options, and we should be aware of them. You'll still need to prove you can code, but the questions we ask have practical application to our codebases: we use recursion and trees, for example, so we ask questions about those.

Other companies will treat you as more of a human, and less as a cog. In my current job, I asked to see production code when interviewing. I flipped over every stone I could, to know what I was getting into. I saw the good and the bad. FANGs? You must prove yourself to gatekeepers before even knowing if there are teams with personalities you will agree with. You have no guarantee there's something on the other side of the gatekeepers, that you're even remotely interested in.

Money is important, but for a small haircut you can have better WLB, less competitive peers (though still be growing in your career: you can challenge yourself, without being surrounded by hyper-competitive personality types), amazing culture, and a greater level of transparency.
Sure, but that only applies in markets that aren't supply constrained due to myriad bad policies.

At least the researchers don't seem to be hiding the fact that accounting for almost half of the money was done purely on the honor system:

>But 40% of the money has been withdrawn as cash, making it harder for researchers to know how it was used. They fill in the gaps by asking people how they spent it.
People like me who are poor generally pay zero in taxes. Go ahead and crucify me for it. At least I am honest.
It's not "speaking authoratively", it's basic human nature. Whatever is the default option will be the majority behavior.

If the default is not to help others, then most will not. That's the way the world works. That's why taxes work.

This is not an argument about morality or judging others.

Any website could use BrowserID by including cross-domain JavaScript that sent cookies to a third party (browserid) and hand the session token over for auth and then get it back. This went poorly versus the modern web’s hostility to third-party cookies.

For a website to use IRMA, it looks like they have to stand up a server component on their web server - it’s not enough to simply include Javascript like browserid, but it also isn’t subject to the third-party cookie failure of browserid.

There's really no point in making your own furniture these days unless you're doing it as a hobby. Ikea and other flatpack furniture shops have made furniture so insanely cheap.

MDF and plastic fittings have made furniture cheap and disposable, when it used to be something that would last a lifetime (or several, I have furniture from my grandparents). Now it's often easier to just throw your Ikea shit on the side of the road when you move house than it is to take it with you.

I've built plenty of my own furniture in my time, it's something that I really enjoy. But if I was trying to save time or money, I'd never bother.

The concept you describe, often referred to as a negative income tax, is really just another form of UBI.
Should function in a very similar way.
The only reasonable way to test UBI is at scale, starting small with stepwise increases. Give everyone $50. Wait one year. Increase it to $100. Wait another year. The only way to reliability figure out what is going to happen and then fix the problems is to start very small and perform a large scale experiments before we blow all that money on something unproven.

There are way too many unintended consequences of starting at %500+ dollars.
just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
You are having a laugh - SMTP is not hard (for a given value of hard.) I've run Unix SMTP daemons and Exchange (and GroupWise and L Notes) for over 20 years. My weapon of choice is Exim with rspamd these days but I know Postfix, Qmail and sendmail and of course Spamassassin with extras.

DKIM is the second of the trifecta, SPF first and then DMARC after DKIM. DMARC is when things start to go horribly wrong or wrongerer than normal in the world of email. Mailing lists get funky shortly after you proudly publish a TXT record starting "v=DMARC1; and p=<unwise choice>.

I'm not sure that state of the art is appropriate when describing SMTP. It is what it is and no more, nor less. It transfers a huge amount of data daily, without fuss or comment. Perhaps that is the state of the art - it is in my world: I like stable and boring and just works.

I'm (nearly) a Civil Engineer and I think of SMTP as an odd analogy for concrete. It's fundamental and very boring but can be surprisingly complicated and interesting if you get it wrong. Conc. can burn or get tricky in all sorts of ways if poured in excessive amounts - setting is an exothermic reaction and will work under water as well. Conc can suffer from concrete cancer which is where sea air and a few other factors causes "map cracking" and potentially failure. SMTP is another function that is dumped into the background, forgotten about and relied upon to just work until the wheels fall off.
