I mean, America does have serious issues that make it not nearly great as it could be.

Trump doesn't seem to be addressing those issues, but there is nothing wrong with the implication that America has lost some of its lustre.

Just like the author of a post called "Make LLVM Fast Again" may have identified a problem without actually fixing it. The first step to improvement is identifying the problem. LLVM has problems, America has problems. Seems fine to me.

Why can’t we ever design one such experiment right? It’s as if we were giving ammunition to those opposed to it by conducting trials that have flaws! Would it really be so hard to run a proper test that follows all the best practices and isn’t biased/flawed so that we could once and for all point at it and say “we can conclusively say UBI is/isn’t viable based on this experiment”?

I mean if a country goes all the way to overcoming political and opinion opposition along with securing funding to actually run such a trial, why not go all the way and do it right?

> Does his motive necessarily matter? ...If Elon wanted to cure all disease in every single on of his workers ...does that mean you would oppose the curing of disease in Elon's workers?

The way I see it is this:

Forming beliefs is not a morally neutral activity.

It's likely that for some definitions of "belief", Elon Musk does really "believe" that COVID-19 isn't that serious, that closing his factory wasn't and isn't necessary, that it will be a net benefit his workers and society to have the factory opened up.

The question is, when he was forming his beliefs, what was his goal? Was his primary motivation to find the truth? Was one of his primary motivations to safeguard the wellbeing of his employees?

Let us suppose hypothetical universe A, where Musk genuinely came to the question with a concern for his employees, fully intending to keep his factory closed if that's where the data pointed; and that in this universe, after looking extensively into the data and the arguments, he came to the conclusion that no, the experts are wrong: the virus was not actually dangerous, and/or that it would be safe to open his factory.

In such a universe, we can forgive him, even if he's wrong, because he came to his beliefs in a laudable manner.

EDIT: Furthermore, in this universe, if an intelligent person such as Musk has taken a genuine look at the data and concluded that opening is safe, then -- well, maybe we should consider the idea that it actually is safe.

Now let us suppose hypothetical universe B, where Musk is annoyed with the setback: First of all, it sets back his timeline for Tesla taking over the (automotive) world, advancing EV technology, and so on; second of all, it's far from clear that Tesla as a business is "out of the woods" in terms of sustainability. He wants to believe that opening the factory is safe, and he allows this desire to filter out any evidence that disagrees with this belief.

In such a universe, we can blame him, because the act of allowing your desires to twist your belief -- particularly when the lives of so many people are at stake -- is morally wrong.

Furthermore, in such a universe, Elon's actions are actually hypocritical: He claims to care about the welfare of workers, but in fact his actions have been controlled by a disregard for their health and safety.

EDIT: And along with the above edit -- if Musk's primary motivation was not finding the truth or protecting worker safety, but finding a justification for what he wants to believe, then we don't need to think as hard about his arguments.

Now the question is: Given what we know of Musks past actions, what he's said in the current debate, and what we know about the evidence available to him in general, which of those hypothetical universes is closest to the truth?

I don't know Musk personally, and haven't even followed him that closely as a celebrity; but from what I have seen, I tend to find universe B more plausible than universe A.

Daycare doesn't have to be extremely expensive.

Where I live the cost is dependent on the parents' income, and where I come from it's a fixed cost that is low enough for most people to be able to afford it. Even if they lived in my country, I don't think I would call my parents to take care of my children very often.

I can't tell if you're serious, but Qatar has had a long history of migrant worker abuses and exploitation, perhaps most globally publicized due to the FIFA World Cup controversies. This Qatar Airways incident is rather benign by comparison. Migrant/foreign workers make up almost 90% of their workforce according to this article, which honestly makes much of Qatar seem dependent on something resembling indentured servitude:

If it lasts long enough, a temporary natural disaster becomes an economic disaster.

I think the rough market consensus at the moment is as you state it - this is a natural disaster which will be over soon. That is a possible outcome at this point, but a second wave in the US for example would have significant impacts and cause entire industries to fall into bankruptcy - wiping out shareholders and leading to significant second-order effects on other industries and supply chains, plus causing a consumer-led recession. It seems increasingly unlikely to me that this will be over as soon as you expect. Just to pick one example - that 20-30% unemployment will not go away quickly if this is not over in the next month or two for the US and those people rehired. Companies will not rehire unless they are certain it is over.

Current recession doesn't have implications 5 years into the future

Remind me in 5 years! I don't think it will impact behaviour massively in 5 years, but I do think there is a danger this recession could trigger significant other events which have impact for more than a few years - for example unrest in the middle east after 2008 led to regime change in many countries, and ongoing war in Libya. Economic depression, unrest and wars are a common occurrence after smaller crises than this one.

When people say the market is irrational it is more to point out that the market valuation swings about the future expected returns quite wildly - for example if what you say is true, the market should not have crashed quite so strongly when coronavirus first spread then bounced back quickly again, but it did, because people panic. It does the same in the opposite direction based on incomplete or incorrect information about drugs/vaccines. There's a nice graph in the above book of the expected return from stocks (pretty much a straight line up and to the right, with small bumps on the way), and stock market valuations (massive swings around the expected return based on sentiment in that moment).

Too bad they're sticking with the kickstand design. Makes the device so unusable on the lap (as mentioned in the review). I have the original Go and I can't actually complain about the performance, but it's very hard to use without a flat surface. It's also unusable in your hand, e.g. to show something to someone while standing up.
Hmm, it’s stopped happening for me now.
true it was not a test of "universal basic income" as such as it targeted only part of the population.

Some results are, however, relevant when assessing them from the world of (post-pandemic) 2020: the participants of the experiment reported 1) less economic troubles and financial stress; 2) Higher confidence in future possibilities; 3) More self-determination and autonomy.

Not too good, but affordable for occasional play or if you want to try out a game to see if it's worth investing in a gaming rig.

I use spot instances which average at around $0.6/hour (I set the maximum bid to $1, if the price rises beyond that the instance is terminated). Bandwidth ends up being more or less the same cost as the actual instance per hour if you cap it to 100Mbps which is enough for 1920x1080. If you remove the bandwidth cap (in the Steam settings, for example if you want to play in 4K or higher) the bill can go up dramatically - last month I spent over $70 and more than half of that was actually bandwidth rather than compute. I'm now exploring Oracle's cloud as they seem more competitive on the bandwidth front.

The main concern would be your network connection and latency. Unlike latency between the game client and server (where the client can and does compensate for it), we're talking about input latency here. You can get used to a certain amount of latency and predict it as long as it remains consistent, though I'd say for multiplayer shooters a few milliseconds is the maximum before it becomes unplayable. For single-player games I'd say you can get away with 20ms or so.

The paper says that Hunter Gatherers existed well before 70,000 years ago, but this genetic mutation enabled the invention of recursive language, particularly spatial preposition. This enabled more abstract communication and planning, so for instance, Romulus and Remus on their first Buffalo hunt, dug a pit and covered it with branches in a location where the buffalo would naturally run to, when chased. They trapped far more buffalo than the typical zero or at most one - of traditional chase and spear method - ie they were far more successful than anyone before them. The benefit of this enhanced collaboration far outweighed the cost of slower brain development in children, so the mutation rapidly spread and dominated.
Just wanted to say, I think the second point is more awkward than it's worth. Some examples:

- my favorite thing is:strawberries

It makes parsing more complicated, as well as creating unexpected results in non-obvious cases (for example the last one could just be a typo, and what if it was instead written as 'is:strawberries, cake'?). It also isn't intuitive in the case of your first example, since I think of Mary Shelley as a single thing.

Alternatively, annotations could just read to EOL, unless it's explicitly guarded off. That would depend on how people use it, I suppose.

In ye olde days grandparents were much younger. Parents had children in their 20's putting grandparents in the 50-60 year range by the time grandchildren are born.

There is something to be said for having an advanced knowledge of SQL and then carefully staying a very long distance from complicated queries. I can't think of a language where the syntax buckles worse than SQL when things get complicated.

Sometimes it makes sense to roll up the sleeves and do unspeakable things with SQL, but that isn't some sort of win.

Personally I think this isn't a good way to look at it. Nothing exists in a void and to contextualize things, it's often useful to compare it to other similar things. In the startup world, it's often explained in the vein of "Uber for X" type of companies. Since Graphviz is one of the oldest and most widely used pieces of software in this space it makes sense to compare any new developments against it.

For me the real subject would be "the death of templates in favor of decorator based objects", which could have been predicted by the GoF that recommended the decorator pattern for GUIs, and makes great sense for the tag-based language that HTML is.

Template languages often impose language limitations to make easier for HTML/CSS coders to work with, without breaking the backend code, isolating their codebase from the backend codebase.

These limitations make them less composable and reusable than functions or objects, and obviously show more drawbacks than advantages for one-man-development, and reuse across projects.

My wild guess is that if we replace templates by components on the server side, we will see less React & friends, for me they mainly demonstrate the clear win of component based patterns against template spagetti.

There are much more successful economic systems around than the US one.

America oddities like government mortgage guarantees, or federal deposit insurance, or licensing for interior designers are not necessary, and in fact not good for the economy. Neither are pervasive price controls.

The US would do better, if they moved to a more market based economy.

Since the target audience was rhe unemployed, changing up their type of income isn't going to give them a job, so prpductivity is difficult to measure.

The entire point of UBI is to secure everyones basic human needs, not get them a job (unlike unemployment benefits).

If we were to test UBI also on employed people, and observed their behavior, we might avtually gain useful insight into mechanica with UBI. Perhaps we will see more 6-hour workdays with more people employed?

mid-career isn't necessarily a single point

It could go: early career is first 5 years. Mid-career is the next 30 years. Late-career is anything after 35 years

It was not a huge difference. They were not less productive, but the measured increase in worked hours was something like 6% if I don't remember wrong. They could take short gigs without losing unemployment benefits for the time and have to deal with the hassle with going off and on the benefits for just a few days of workt. But too small and limited study to really say anything about it.

The important gain would be to give people breathingroom to actually find a job most relevant to their education and skills instead of just jumping on the first available opening to be able to pay the rent. Or even spending some time improving your skills.

In the US I think just introducing universal healthcare would accomplish part of the same thing.
How would measure that? Do you only count paid labor? Is all labor productive?
Isn't that a good thing? If a thing does X, I'd very much like to know what other things do X as well to try and understand how they differ.

> They weren't boomers. Boomers is a specifically western phenomenon.

Your original comment is still super US-centric. I live in a western European country. In my country, the "boomer" generation and their parents built the welfare state that gave me free education from kindergarten to PhD. I'm forever grateful for that, and the social safety nets they put in place.
No. I mean first the "arse" rule is applied, and then the "anal" rule (because this didn't exist previously and because the blanked out letters are ignored) is applied next
Your argument hinges on the assumption that the products have a final conclusion. I can start building a product in hugo, say - I’m just displaying information in charts and generating predefined reports. Time passes more users are added and now I need to identify each users reports. Now I need a server and at this stage I can get away with SSR. More time, more organizations, more complexity. All of this can still be handled by SSR. The real kicker happens when people start demanding the ability to generate their own reports by supplying their parameters. They want the ability to write their own queries. They want WYSIWYG building blocks. They want to define their own templates.

Very quickly we are in a territory well done with react than with Hugo.

Most products, especially if it’s a company, are like this. Products are constantly evolving. Whether products should be constantly evolving is a different discussion and tools are only a small part of that discussion.
UBI is just redistribution scheme. There is no increase of price level because aggregate income stays the same.
