I just tried this and I get 140 characters for the `.sig` file - to verify it, you do need the first line "untrusted comment: verify with sig.pub" which adds 39 to the 100 for the signature (but I suppose since that's a standard part, you could take it as read...)
Interesting that being an ex-smoker increases the risk, but being a current smoker decreases it. Seems like there is some short term benefit to smoking that outweighs its long term negative health effects.
The most productive developer I currently have the privilege to work with isn't visibly passionate about the thing. She got back into this career after being a project owner for a few years and now just pushes forward like an icebreaker.

And the code isn't even "pretty" - it's just well-tested and is working as intended.

Makes one question some assumptions about what makes a good developer.
Yes, it's not paid to everybody, but everybody can rely on it. UBI is technically for everybody, but the average person that does work will not feel a difference in most scenarios, as increased taxes will eat the UBI that's paid out.

As for the stigma associated with not working: true, but it's not part of, or encouraged by, the law. It will be the same with UBI, it will not be admired to not contribute to society. Some people may feel that they do in fact contribute, but society at large values other things than self-actualization.

The university/higher education system is weird, but for other reasons (my personal theory is that you can't have organized bureaucracy in Germany without some senseless cruelty). It's another point on the board for "free doesn't necessarily give you the expected results" though: unlike in the US, it's free, our "student loans" (Bafög) are generally interest free and 50% of the amount owed will generally be forgiven. Obviously, we see plenty of people entering, but we don't see the results you'd imagine if costs were what's holding people back.

I’m not buying into anything but investors are. Amazon isn’t profitable. It’s not to avoid paying tax, it’s to reinvest. And because investors don’t care about profits in amazon it makes bezos the richest man. This doesn’t have anything to do with my initial comment though. Amazon is cheap because it pushes costs down in every area. Including workers. And consumers like that.
Whats the big advantage of Trailing commas are allowed in parameter lists? I never liked it, if its not there, dont do a kind of pseudo initialization.
Is Amazon really that cheap? I live in a different market from the US, but Amazon is usually cheap but rarely the cheapest. But they are a one-stop shop for everything, they already have your credit card number, and you know what you’re getting in terms of shipping speed/return policy. They’re more convenient than cheap.

I also wonder how much the current epidemic and increased migration towards WFH will affect native mobile app usage, particularly among non-driving commuters. People will be using desktops more for casual browsing, and thus likely to be using web browsers outside of a small number of desktop apps (office suites, games and so on).

UBI works no differently than unemployment benefits or pensions, with the notable exception that UBI is far simpler and straight-forward to implement.

If people are ok with the way the state supervises unemployment benefits or pensions, I see no reason why a simpler and more straight-forward program would pose a problem.

Oh, people know it. Even users of Windows and Linux, platforms where a consistent native look and feel for applications is now a veritable pipe dream, can tell.

Plenty of people specifically avoid apps written with a Java UI because they feel so non-native and slow.

(Disclaimer: I'm not saying Qt, WxWidgets, necessarily feel any more native than Swing or JavaFX; I only mentioned them as examples of complete cross-platform UI kits, not necessarily as ones with the best integration — although well-designed Qt and WxWidgets apps will still feel miles more integrated with both Windows and macOS, notoriously difficult to emulate, than Swing)

Show HN: Blind dating app to find your soulmate
Giddy is an app to find your future partner who we would match you with based on myers-briggs type indicator. Our algorithm finds the best possible personality type for the users based on current location and radius range.

We strive forward to favour on constituting relationships that is based on common interests and mental chemistry rather than idealization of attractiveness. How we achieve such a goal is by creating an hour long session between the matched users and prompting the user profile after 45 minutes of conversation.

Hope you guys give critical feedback on the idea

I think a UBI would work well alongside a jobs for all program rather than instead of it. Say 20k a year for UBI for the disabled, carers, parents, pensioners, and people who are unemployable for whatever reason, or 40k a year working on some huge infrastructure project.
There would be drastically less content and the whole operation could be easier, because you probably don't have to worry so much about spam websites. That would keep it low cost already, not single DigitalOcean droplet cheap, but I think it could be sustained from a programmers pocket initially.

Donations/patreon for one, then subscriptions. It should be possible to offer a contentless index for download (I estimate it could be around 50-200GB) and that could be a paid option.
I've thought about this, too; some of my favorite sites are forums that are a pain to use on mobile (e.g. RuTracker).

Seems like a fun project, so I may start planning it when I have time.
I'll link the the mention of the optimised versions, but that's not what I mean!

Say earlier model XYZ trained 4 epochs per hour, and BERT trained 2 epochs per hour. Now on a single card if you can train optimised BERT for 4 epochs per hour, that doesn't necessarily mean the same card will handle XYZ at 8 epochs per hour.

It's a technological achievement nonetheless, but the fact that it was heavily optimised for the new architecture, possibly beyond an extent infeasible for non-Nvidia developers, still has to be considered.

Firs things first: the rules on UK directors personal addresses changed a few years ago so that you can use a service address, but it must be a correspondence address to which you will receive any and all material sent so that people can write to you. You do not have to give your home address out on the Companies House website.

However, I'd argue you probably should.

A company is a legal entity with special powers, privileges and and responsibilities. There is little doubt its concept has been abused and misused by those who seek to do harm within society.

The vast majority of successful investigative journalism pieces into fraud, tax-avoidance, links to other criminal activity, etc. have come about from being able to follow the paper trail including names, addresses and so on.

The intent is not just to make sure a company is "above board", but to open the ability to hold a company and its officers to account to anybody who wishes to.

In a capitalist democracy, transparency of this form is essential.

For example, (moving away from the UK example), it's the reason why so many people are so keen to see Donald Trump's tax returns and - presumably - why he doesn't want to make them public. What we know publicly already tells us a great deal about the most powerful person in America, so what would the private information tell us?

In general I think people have a default right to privacy, but when you want to create and control a new legal entity more powerful and privileged than any human, I think it's right that you should surrender some of that privacy.
Apparently, there are not enough groupies for CEOs ;)

most of your answers don't even address the questions.

1) impact on businesses?

2) not about administration, about the cost of UBI itself. cost of social security is ballooning, not administration of it

3) it's important to judge UBI's costs and impacts relative to other social programs

4) "Hopefully" it will end world hunger too and also discover the cure for cancer.

5) Sweden doesn't implement UBI though? How does looking at Sweden allow you to say how UBI will affect people growing up?

6) comparing Alaska, the 46th on the list when looking at the size of US state economies, with the US (#1 economy in the world) is not a good comparison.

It's not fear that are motivating these questions. The larger the investment, the more robust the plan needs to be and it's common sense for anyone to want to know more detail about a LTV ~100s of trillions of dollar investment.
I'm not sure that's realistic, with respect to concentrations of power.

Whatever power you use to reduce concentrations of power would undoubtedly become quite powerful.

I think that it's probably better to attempt to reduce the size of any one concentration of power, and set them all up watching each other.
I more meant UBI plus a government-funded jobs program for folks that want to work. They'd both be investments.

I don't view it so black and white. While certainly parts of how we ended up using coffeescript weren't great and ended up causing lots of problems, in 2012 it looked like a net win - we got a bunch of new language features several years before they were actually standardized in any form.

It wasn't until 2015 that es6 came around, and we saw how things could be better; and typescript didn't have much momentum until 2015 either. Without a crystal ball, it'd have been very hard to predict this shift.
One thing I appreciate these days is the stock market can be disconnected from the realities of the economy and can remain that way for an indefinite period of time.

The best way I’ve found to trade is to listen to what the market is telling you. Take positions with discipline. Scale out when you have profits. Wait for next sign of direction.

It is as easy as that while at the same time very challenging.

"Nothing" on an additive medium, the screen, is black. With absorptive color (paper) it is white. I just find everything to look better if you stick to this. I find light mode apps and sites uncomfortable and ugly, much like a white-on-black print book.

That said, I've heard from many people that they struggle to read light-on-dark. So it's best to have both options, especially for a site like HN where it doesn't require a huge design effort.
A potential solution would be to pass regulations that protect workers. Examples could include minimum wages, profit sharing plans, or mandatory benefits.

That wouldn't necessarily affect consumer behavior but it would affect what strategies corporations are able to use to service that behavior.

Yes your right, I think we need a good safety net. UBI for those that don't want to, or can't work. Real jobs with real salaries for those that want them.
> increases in productivity have not helped the poorest because they have been robbed of said benefits by price inflation, which is a symptom of an inflation of the money supply.

Price inflation doesn't change how much real value exists is in the world. The problem the working poor have isn't inflation (if anything, inflation costs the rich more than the poor, since the rich are more likely to have savings), it's that they're taking home an ever smaller proportion of the value they produce.

> My expectation is that those who collect rent on low income housing will benefit more than those who pay the increased rent. At the end of the day low income people will have more money, but all of their expenses for basics like food and rent will increase.

Cheap food is a competitive, low-margin business, so it's unlikely that the cost would increase. (If you're thinking about labour costs going up, higher-end goods are generally much more labour-intensive than cheap goods). Housing markets are their own total mess, but if there's a lot less need for people to live near their job then that should make housing a lot more competitive and if anything lower prices.

> Recent history suggests that this is simply not the case. Budget deficits would be a more reasonable expectation.

It's not like governments don't already run the highest deficits they can get away with. The mechanisms that limit them (credit ratings etc.) will be the same mechanisms we currently have; introducing UBI doesn't change that one way or another.

> Either way, increased taxes will similarly create increased prices. Those with lesser incomes will suffer the most.

It's absurd to think that doubling the proportion of extant dollars in the hands of the working poor (at the expense of people on the high end) would make those people worse off. Price adjustments might blunt some of the effect, but wealth redistribution must ultimately work; why would the rich be so afraid of it otherwise?

> The first is causing a run on vitamin D that prevents other people from acquiring if for their proven treatments.

Vitamin D is an easily manufactured supplement, it's not medicine that some people absolutely have to take every day.

Also, we're heading into summer and the sun is still rising every day.

> However the main issue that I think we want to prevent is luring people into a false sense of security that causes them to decrease the proven preventive measures.

We've had the same discussion about masks, so I think that one's settled.

> We don't need large groups of people gathering on beaches because they think the sun will be a miracle cure and they don't have to worry about getting sick.

If you don't want people gathering on the beaches, prohibit it. Having said that, the risk of infection outdoors is generally considered to be quite low.

> So if you want to personally start taking it without changing your behavior, be my guest. But any advice to take it needs to be clear that the evidence it helps is still very suspect at this point.

The evidence that Vitamin D supplementation works is there and it has already been recommended for everyone with low serum levels, well before COVID-19.

The problem is that people often aren't even aware that their serum levels are low, so that is highly prevalent - especially in the elderly and people with darker skin.
> I want to see Vitamin D status included in a large population study like this

Although vitamin D is not mentioned in this study, it does show that black people have a hazard ratio of about 2 compared to whites. In the UK black people would be more vitamin D deficient than white people.

Now that I think about it, isn't the potential for vitamin D deficiency the reason there are white people in the first place?

Really cool work!

Is there really a support layer for Emacs in the kernel?

Now the real question. You are statically linking against a modified glibc, so they make calls to your kernel library instead to the system call and you can do some nice optimizations along the way. Which I think make sense.

I can see this is cool for things that directly interface to glibc, but do you think this is viable for applications using multiple layers between the kernel and the application?
Apple has to ensure that Swift is adopted as widely as possible to ensure that enough people in the world are theoretically able to submit apps to their store.
