==But the setup you describe will also require some form of simple metric to track progress- to ensure that 25k isn't going down the drain.==

Maybe. I don't think MacArthur tracks the spending of their Fellowship (a much larger amount).

==According to the foundation's website, "the fellowship is not a reward for past accomplishment, but rather an investment in a person's originality, insight, and potential". The current prize is $625,000 paid over five years in quarterly installments. This figure was increased from $500,000 in 2013 with the release of a review of the MacArthur Fellows Program. Since 1981, 942 people have been named MacArthur Fellows, ranging in age from 18 to 82. The award has been called "one of the most significant awards that is truly 'no strings attached'".==

> "That's a problem with how welfare is structured, that can be fixed with changing welfare."

That's what UBI is...? UBI is changing welfare to not be means-tested.

> "Why would you think it wouldn't?"

There are many reasons to think it wouldn't. For example, lots of people work two jobs. People work full time when they could work part time. Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos etc all still work. The vast majority of people in a modern economy work more than they need to in order to earn what a UBI would pay.

The rest of your post is not relevant to the question you originally asked ("What is the actual case for Basic Income?")
Asking on HN is the same (or better, given audience size) as looking around and talking to people.

It’s also not helpful to say “there’s an abundance of opportunity” without any examples.
Sure, but is what I asked not valid? I asked some questions, and said I was confused by their statement. If anything, I acknowledged this, which is why I wrote "Language Server Protocol" and not just the acronym LSP that they had to look up.

Did I mess this up?
C# and Java are both guilty of this. I don't think generators will help nearly as much as hoped, because Java has the same problem even though it supports build time code generation through Annotation Processors for like over a decade, since Java 7 I think.

Reflection is just easier. Unless you go out of your way to use libraries that use code generation, Java is just as bad as C# in this regard.

There's a few bright spots, like MapStruct for object->object mappings and Dagger2 for dependency injection that are built entirely on code generation. But these are exceptions to the norm

That said, the shuttle was severely underutilized and hence costed a lot more than it should have.

That depends what the alternative medicine asks the patient to do. Anecdote: my mother was told to do coffee enemas in Tijuana to get rid of her colorectal cancer. She very seriously debated it with me.
I assume it has been going on for too long, so their age matters. They apply the norms of a previous generation, while reddit's audience is consistently young. It was probably never a concern when reddit started, but things like mod-ship should have expiration dates.
The argument is that these mods are biased in their moderation, and because of how many subreddits they moderate, that bias is reflected across those subreddits.
You can show via SPECT brainscans that the over- or underactivity in certain parts of the brain correlates strongly with psychological symptoms. For example you can show that people suffering from ADD have a lowered activity in their prefrontal cortex. Or that people with an overactive deep limbic system suffer from depression. Check out Dr Daniel Amen's work. He did over 83000 brainscans.

I watch some YouTube channels of delivery people (usually on bikes) just out of curiosity.

Most of them do it only part-time and see it as a work-out gamification. Looks like during the pandemic many restaurants also closed delivery options and the orders dropped according to some YouTubers in the UK.

The most important aspect: It does not scale. It's very hard to earn a living outside of the "surge pricing" rush hours.

In some regions "surge pricing" is not available or delivery platforms require full time with a fixed but low salary (e.g. in Germany).

Here's a list of YouTubers doing bike deliveries:

This is slightly tangential but I think is related in some way to the broader question of the effectiveness of VP.
I can say from my experience with my son and trying to teach other kids programming, that visual programming does not seem to promote actual understanding, especially concepts composition, re-use, etc. Kids can write animation sequences or even simple games that "work", but then have absolutely no idea how to generalize -- every visual program is a one-off. As soon as you start teaching them Python (or whatever) then they start to understand what's going on. This is why I don't like the "gamification" of learning in general.

Another way to look at it is the 7 +/- 2 rule of short-term memory attention -- when you look at something and try to "grok" it (a gestalt experience) you really need a limited amount of information in your visual field. To do this you need to move to higher and higher levels of abstraction, which is a linguistic operation - assigning meaning to symbols. Even in visual programming, you end up with a box that has a text field that holds the name of the exact operation - so you may as well cut out the middleman and stick with the linguistic abstractions.

Now, if a program is "embarrassingly visual" -- dataflow operations in signal processing, etc., the visual DSLs do seem appropriate.

You get a Microsoft-supplied kernel, which has modifications to integrate more with the host OS. I'm not going to make a value judgement about it being the real thing or not, but it's definitely not the stock kernel that comes with Ubuntu.
Coincidentally, my running buddy does too. I didn't think of that, so thanks for reminding me. I guess I should add a ymmv to my original comment.
Further, they're assuming causality in the direction of a decline in corporate R&D causing the rise of (generally government-supported) university research. But I don't see them providing support for that assumption.

Could it be the other way around? That government-supported research in the universities had (at least to some degree) the effect of crowding-out the corporate labs? I mean, if the government is going to foot the bill, then why would I want to spend my own money on it?
We know that removing traffic calming devices causes faster and more reckless driving. Poorly designed streets in high-density areas tend to rely on heavy traffic as their primary means of traffic calming. The pandemic could also separately be playing a role, but its certainly not the only cause if it is a factor.
As a moderator you have the power to control what people see - subscribers and visitors alike. To me, it's easy to see how moderators with an agenda can curate content to match their views. It also wouldn't surprise me if some moderators are compensated - under the radar - by influencers and marketers.
"Of course, your concern is still totally valid if UBI will indeed be pointless without the other problems solved. I just wanted to point out how easy it is to say "start with universal health care and affordability of housing and education". That's a huge thing to "start with", and in fact we're already deep into the fight for them.
"

If you can't solve these issues, UBI simply can't work. It's basically a distraction from urgent problems that should and could be solved now but may cost money. Considering that UBI is often pushed by billionaires I wonder if that's the secret plan.

Unfortunately I have doubts. This is one of the few features copied from Java instead of the other way around. You can pre-process code in Java and generate classes at build time instead of reflecting, but I know of just a handful of libraries that leverage this.
Honestly I'm not convinced. What approach is better then, to invite only the side that you like? If you invite only one side you'll get to hear only one side of the story, it's that simple - and there's far too many subjects that are genuinely still worth a debate - it's not all about climate changes and 5G conspiracies. Journalists are just not proficient enough in the various subjects discussed on TV to be able to counter-argument their guests' theories in a live talk show. So you invite the expert from the other side and expect your guests to do the live fact-checking of the other side's claims for you. It works very good for politicians during the election campaigns, why wouldn't it work for science or any other subject?
Paternity leave: Everything you need to know
You're technically correct for some use cases. For Windows 10 Enterprise users, the official tool does allow you to disable telemetry by modifying the system telemetry settings.

For Windows Home and Professional users, this is not the case. Disabling telemetry is not possible because Microsoft have decided that there is a minimum "required" amount of telemetry every OS installation must send in order to function.

If the telemetry description stated that some Windows users are able to opt out, they'd be correct.

It's just another example of Microsoft showing they couldn't give a rat's ass about their customers' wishes and that you'll just have to deal with them tracking everything you do.

And who knows? Maybe I do like to contribute to Microsoft about kernel bluescreens so that Windows can get more stable, but do not wish to upload a report every time I install or uninstall software? Why would it be strange that I don't like to share some telemetry but not all telemetry?
Tin foil hat here. The person posting this is the lead maintainer of Chocolatey, a long standing 3rd party Windows package manager.

Although the point is reasonable (why NOT just provide an opt out, like .NET SDK?), it seems to me that there is a potential ulterior motive in dragging down winget.

This assumes they don't have the legal resources to fend off such a case.

The problem OP describes is real though.

The question is 'How far can you go?'

For example does it make sense to present advocates for science and pseudo-science on the same level, with equal weight?

Putting a Biologist who explains Evolution on the same pedestal on equal time as a Priest who believes in Intelligent Design creates a false sense of balance between these viewpoints, even though these viewpoints are fundamentally different in their very basic quality.

You can spin this further to illustrate this point: racism, religion, false promises, lies, mental illnesses.
OK, now you've prompted me to do proper research:

Again, more buying means more production and reduced costs due to volume. Driving prices down. This happens too. As well a a dozen other things.

Having been publicly released, Voice Control is beyond the experimental stage, but many of its features need refining.

That said, Voice Control is excellent for granular control of UI elements and for simulating and/or obviating swipe gestures. For example, "Go Home" replaces swiping up from bottom.

Voice Control also actively listens to everything as potential input. So, if an input field is active, merely speaking will trigger speech-to-text in that field. The accuracy is sometimes startling.

On the other hand, watching video with Voice Control active will result in Voice Control suggesting available commands (because Voice Control will interpret some of the audio as invalid [or sometimes valid!] commands).

I am not (yet) touch or motor impaired, but Voice Control is a godsend for hands-free manipulation of the UI. I hope your mum finds it similarly helpful.
>how meaninglessly violent people become when their posts are modded

Maybe if mods were more transparent across all the subs.

Most people get angry when someone removes their post and yet they see it reposted and approved hours or even minutes later (Gallowboob is infamous for that but regular users do it too)

I am a freshman moderator of /r/portland.

I had thought working as a moderator would be a great way to help grow the subreddit's base. Offer more useful real world interaction points and basically have a big impact on Portland.

Instead what I've found is that 99% of the time the moderators are dealing with bad actors and that has to be the primary focus to keep the sub from falling apart.

It isn't just dealing with trolls or stepping into stopping out of control discussions.

It is actively performing anti-ban-evasion against people who are targeting the sub for disruption and then going after moderators that get in the way of these attempts.

There is at least one active case number with the Portland Police Department of a person that has both attempted to doxx our moderators and has gone to the home of a moderator and vandalized property repeatedly.

In this example, the person will not stop and creates new accounts every day.

While there are things Reddit can be doing to help, (such as improving tools to counter ban-evasion,) I think this problem is bigger than Reddit and focuses on lack of enforcement for digital actions that would qualify as genuine crimes of harassment if translated into the physical realm.

To note, my submission with the original title was a little earlier than that one, which was done as a followup with the title edited to be less contentious. Both were quickly flag killed, but mine was kindly resurrected by "the mods", likely chosen because it was earlier and used the original title. Possibly further flags were probably "turned off" so it could stay alive? [1] I appreciate this, although I can also see that Sanger is a polarizing figure and this may be a difficult article to discuss here. Keeping the comment quality high probably helps to allow future similar resurrections.

These positions are unpaid volunteer positions. Moderating more than a handful large subs is a full-time job.

There is a good chance that a proportion of these people willing to do an unpaid full time job that can direct the attention of a billion pairs of eyeballs have ulterior motives, or are indeed paid by third parties (companies, political parties, governments) to promote or censor certain news/memes/opinions.
I tried that before, but unfortunately rather than showing a "button shape" it just underlines the text. That's works for things like an email address in a contact card, but not so much for the "back" links at the top left. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Netflix and YouTube are not even remotely comparable. The vast majority of Netflix traffic can fit into hardware appliances installed on ISPs, or in the cache of Netflix DCs, since the tail is very small. Plus Netflix is very expensive outside of the developed world in terms of PPP, whereas YouTube is free for even the poorest.

They have got problems, yes , but there is far too much good content on youtube with a very very long tail. In lockdown, I have tried almost dozens of different cooking channels for different things. It is the magic of YouTube that so many people are able to take their content to so many viewers seamlessly at no cost or loss of convenience to them.

SV companies coming out as remote-friendly is odd in one way. Outside SV there are tons of companies that are remote, and they make no big fuss about it. With corona, so many more people started working remotely, even in companies that you 'd never expect they would. And they made no big deal of it. Seems like SV has been particularly reluctant to go remote (despite making the tools for it!) , for reasons that are not really well undestood. Perhaps they don't want capital to be decentralized or they somehow think there's something magical about the place.
Sure, that's true in Python. Python has some reasonable assumptions built into it in this ares. The X programming language, on the other hand, was built by someone whose prior work in language creation was so egregious as to warrant a court order against further such activity.

It's very difficult to not leave breadcrumbs. Maybe your personal blog had your name, address, and phone number on it back in the 1990s and there's a record of that. Maybe you made one post six months back on your main account instead of your throwaway. Maybe you've inadvertently given enough details for someone to narrow it down.

One mistake is all that's needed.

For example, Mitt Romney's secret Twitter account was found from just a few bits of info. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/10/mitt-romney-has-...

> “That’s kind of what he does,” Romney said with a shrug, and then got up to retrieve an iPad from his desk. He explained that he uses a secret Twitter account—“What do they call me, a lurker?”—to keep tabs on the political conversation. “I won’t give you the name of it,” he said, but “I’m following 668 people.” Swiping at his tablet, he recited some of the accounts he follows, including journalists, late-night comedians (“What’s his name, the big redhead from Boston?”), and athletes. Trump was not among them. “He tweets so much,” Romney said, comparing the president to one of his nieces who overshares on Instagram. “I love her, but it’s like, Ah, it’s too much.”
There are subs dedicated to calling out his bs. One sub has figured out how he games reddit in his favor for karma and front page placement.
