> There was no clear indication that basic income encourages people to find jobs. You can scratch that one off the list.

You clearly didn't read the study or even the guardian article. There was clear evidence that basic income encourages people to find jobs in many cases, just not conclusively in every case (which no proponent of UBI argues).

> There was a pretty big and important hypothesis that the study was trying to pin down: is UBI profitable? Do you give 500 EUR and get more back?

That wasn't even close to the hypothesis that they were trying to disprove. You made this up off the top of your head. They were trying to develop a simpler, less bureaucratic welfare system that didn't have the pitfalls of the existing system while measuring dependent's wellbeing.

> And the answer is: there is no trace of that.

Again, not true. There was plenty of evidence that a UBI (as enacted in this study) could have positive economic effects, just not in every single case, and not conclusively.

Pretty much the only conclusive result from this study was that the dependents had a better sense of well being on average from the control group. That's it. I have no idea where you got these made up factoids from, I cant find any kind of review or analysis that shares your opinions or statements.
Can someone ELI5 why an alternative is really needed here?
The cognitive dissonance among NIMBYs is astounding. 80 years ago, many neighborhoods in LA were just oil derricks and orange groves, which were sold and cleared (or hidden behind facades in the case of the derricks, which still pump today) for housing to meet surging demand after WWII, which never went away. Decade after decade the demand has only grown, yet the people living in these first batches of housing quickly built to meet demand they themselves created fail to see that their situation is no different. NIMBYs just happened to find work in LA a little bit sooner and fail to see that they were once a changing force to the landscape as well.

If you want to preserve your neighborhood, you are free to buy as many parcels as you like and leave them be. If you can't afford the fair market price to dictate what gets built on the land, then you have no ground to stand on imo, but there are also plenty of options for you. There are planned communities you can move to with tight HOA regulations if you insist on limiting what others can and can't do with their belongings. To move to a city like LA, which experiences double digit percent growth decade after decade since its inception, and to expect nothing to change at all the minute after you sign your mortgage, is baffling to me. It isn't grounded in reality. Move to Cleveland if you want stasis, the greater metro population there is virtually unchanged over the past 50 years.

Efficient slicing happens because of "tiling", hence the name TileDB. A tile is similar to an HDF5 or Zarr "chunk", or more loosely to a Parquet page. Although totally configurable, tiling is handled solely by TileDB, the user doesn't need to know about it. A tile is the atomic unit of IO and compression. TileDB maintains all the necessary metadata and indexing built into its format and, given a query, it knows how to fetch only the tiles that might include results. The tiles are decompressed in your memory and filtered further for the actual results. The dense array case is rather straightforward. The sparse case is a big differentiator in TileDB and it is quite challenging, especially in the presence of updates. TileDB handles the sparse case via bulk-loaded R-trees for multi-dimensional indexing, and via an LSM-tree-like approach with immutable objects that allows time traveling.

Concerning your point on potential errors occurring on S3, this is addressed by TileDB's immutable object approach. If an error occurs upon some write, there will be no array corruption. Happy to discuss about this topic on a separate thread.

Your comment resonates well with me but I'm still confused. Google Fiber wants to provide you service. They can't for reasons outside of their control (some of which you very accurately described). It is not Google Fiber you should be disappointed with. Fighting against the telecommunications industry that is actively hostile towards consumers is really tough. They took the cash and used it to better defend themselves against disruption rather than building out the infrastructure for all to benefit from. Google has money but it doesn't have infinite money to throw at this particular initiative. I too am disappointed by the situation. Thankfully I am someplace where I do reap the benefits of it but I really wish the whole country had what is available to me because it is wonderful.
A lot of solar panels were insalled where I live compared to none five years ago. However their only use case here is to pump water out of the ground. The prices of the panel don't make them good investment for home usage. And even the government don't provide enough incentives to invest in them.

> Take an audience of X people. Divide them in two. Show ads to your test group, don't show to control.

That works for the simplest of advertiser campaigns, but doesn't scale.

How do you break down your audience across platforms? I.e., how do you divide your audience in half across your ads buys on Google & Facebook, to make sure someone excluded from your ads on Google is excluded on Facebook?

And that's not even the hard problem of how you do it across digital, television, billboards, magazines & so on.

Even if you could get that data, if your campaign is flighted, you don't have enough time to act. If you have a big movie opening or product launch, you can't wait to see the initial response & then optimize.

These approaches can work for someone taking advantage of the latest Instagram Dropship scam, but they're going to work for where the bulk of advertising dollars are (big brands, movies, cars, consumables, etc.)

It is interesting to me how much free givaways people get in America.

In Austria (and maybe some other parts of Europe, not sure), not only that free refills are unheard of, you even get charged for ketchup sauce at McDonalds. (The minimal allowed food quality is higher, though, so there might be economic reasons on top of, I believe, primarily societal reasons.)

It is charged somewhere around 40 to 50 Eurocent per 25ml.
Why can't they be rented?
Then would something like the difference between 1 gbps and 10gbps ethernet apply? In the large majority of American households that have wired computers, 1gbps could handle almost any task including fast file transfers, yet 10gbps is something you can purchase if you think you need it and using it will result in even faster speeds.
> Are there any products/tools that make this easier

You just read an article by Gravitational, authors of Teleport. Check them out.

The opensource product is pretty full featured, the commercial version has a few features companies usually need (I believe SSO is one of them). Now instead of having people submit a ticket, send the keys, yada yada, you can just point someone to the portal and they can just use teleport credentials (or if you have the feature, the corp credentials). And the session is recorded. You can also use the command line – and it still gets recorded.

Disclaimer: We use Teleport in our company. I pitched after finding out about them here in HN. We still have bastion hosts, which now automation automatically deploys teleport and they show up in a single place.
HOW MUCH?
You can also have investors that buy into a company because it is counterproductive to their goals. Not all investments are meant to produce financial profit.
> In the best-case scenario, you’ll end the year with a path towards a profitable business and the money-making skills you thought you needed student loans to build.

Author should include a pie chart (or something) of the odds of this happening. When you're unable to see the "profitable business on first try after 4 months" slice for how vanishingly small it is, that will put this advice into context. Basically, if someone wants to do this, they should definitely do it _for the experience_, not because this is a viable means of starting a profitable business.

I say this as someone who is not a fan of "college for all" and think that taking a year after high school to work & experience life without grades (and without someone else paying the bills) before heading to college is very good idea.
Here in Germany many people simply are against wind-power-plants. They think they're ugly, loud, and dangerous.

You're stuck in viewing things in through a lens of how private property works now.

Why is it that those who own some land deserve a cut of the profits of that land? That land was stolen at some point. Who says that anyone can truly claim ownership of land? Isn't land to be owned by all? And the same can be said of much more then just land.

Instead of the work of all previous generations and large parts of land being inherited by the few who are lucky enough to be born to the rich or whatever, it should be distributed to everyone. That can take the form of UBI.

For an argument of these points, read the first 3 chapters of of The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin.

Can't help you with TikTok or Vine since I don't understand those either (I believe the target market for them is mostly people around age 21 or younger, so if you're outside that group that's not surprising).

For Zoom though, I feel it's quite trivial to see how it became popular. Of all the various video chat/conferencing software that exists, Zoom is the easiest for the layperson to setup and use while also tending to be the best performing in terms of audio/video quality, latency, large numbers of users on a single call, etc. My girlfriend was able join a Zoom call with her parents a few days ago without even telling them how to do it; yesterday I overheard a 30 minute phone conversation while she tried to explain to her mother how to edit a facebook post (unsuccessfully, despite valiant efforts).

Outside of this niche community, basically nobody knows or cares about Zoom's various security gaffes. They just want something that works and gets out of the way. And I say all this as somebody who has watched others use Zoom a few times and read about it, but never used it myself nor felt the inclination to.

I'm sure you're right about specialists and strategies to try to spark mass adoption being things that happen, but the technology matters as well.
No. This isn't a rhetorical example.

Most defendants don't know anything about the case. They've been avoiding collection calls for years as agencies sell and resell their debt. Piles of unopened mail, etc.

For their part, the agencies tend towards sloppiness. Some debt sells at <5% of face value, and comes with virtually no information or documentation.

Thinking about this is a matter of justice is ridiculous. It's not a justice driven process, it's an economics driven process. The agencies do this as their business. They work repetitively, create a process and pursue cases as long as average revenue exceeds average court costs. If a defendant shows up and wins, it's a small cost. Most defendants don't show up, so they don't bother spending legal time making cases good.

And yes, it is the courts responsibility to put a stop to it. For one thing, resolving debt humanely (or not) has been a court function since ancient times and still is. Secondly, debt collectors have basically turned these courts into their own shady place of business. It reflects badly on the court, besides clogging it.
Of course. At this point, every self-driving cars developing company wants to get out, so "testing" is actually "selling".

I'm not seeing much mention in this thread of the cryptographically-linked identities feature of Keybase, i.e. where you can link your Website, Twitter, Reddit, HN, etc.

As far as I know, that was Keybase's initial offering, which they then built on top of to create a full suite of applications.

Although to play the Devil's advocate - while the feature is cool and implemented nicely, I doubt that many people actually use it beyond the novelty factor.
The last AMD laptop I bought froze randomly every few hours on Ubuntu, and there is no way to turn on my keyboard backlight on my Thinkpad T480 on Ubuntu.

I'd be very hesitant to buy AMD or Lenovo before I had strong evidence that there are no serious issues on Linux.

Someone pointed me to Reinertsen's Principles of Product Development Flow book, which put into numbers and models everything I'd been trying to say (and then some).

It worked great with my team, but I was failing hard at communicating and involving everyone on the business side so I started researching for something that provided the business side, wrapped around his methods. Which drew me to Scaled Agile Framework.

There's a lot in it, but the core of it is simply on a pace of 8-12 week increments, you spend 2 days letting your developers provide you with a plan, estimated based on 2/3 of their actual available time. They make the plan...not management.

The plan is presented to management, management discusses tradeoffs and options, then ultimately management will accept a final plan and the developers provide a confidence level in their ability to deliver the plan that they have set out.

When new requests come in, they are discussed for the next 8-12 week increment so the developers can focus on executing the plan that everyone agreed on.

There's still room left for small things that come up, there are progress check-ins and communications that happen along the way. Risks to the plan are identified and discussed so everyone is aware of them up front. Variability is assumed (up and down) throughout the plan. The only assumed commitment is to the 8-12 week deliverable. Nothing in between is expected to have a guaranteed delivery date.

It leaves little room for surprises and plenty of room for people to work in a reasonable manner. I can't speak highly enough of how effective it is to addressing this problem.

The thing I like about Keybase is that keys are always generated client-side and never leave the client, and all of the functionality associated with adding/removing devices is done in a way so that there's no way for a server to tamper with it (aside from denying service).

Is that true in Matrix? Several services advertise themselves as "end-to-end" encrypted, but then when you poke harder it turns out either there is some sort of TOFU (so an opportunity for the server to insert itself) or else there is no device continuity (which means in the case of e.g. Whatsapp that keys are reprovisioned almost promiscuously to avoid bad UX). Whatsapp is a particularly bad example because (a) I lose chat history when I move devices, and yet (b) the UX does not require an old device to authenticate the new one, so I can compromise conversations (at least moving forward) if I can compromise a server.

How end-to-end is Matrix really, and how similar is the new support to Keybase's key management flow?

> has more free time to wait in line to vote

Lobby for vote-by-mail, early voting, and holidays on election day. I'm sorry, but that's the only way. Hard problems don't have easy solutions. You can't expect any council member to go against their voters' wishes on any issue. Local elections are personal and people who vote in them follow the issues closely. A council member who listens to "expert advice" rather their voters will be voted out or recalled, and the next person would simply vote to put things back the way they were.

If you want lasting change, you have to broaden the electorate and educate them on the issues.
