>Or, maybe you're taking that into account already, and are worried about an uncanny valley in between "not working" and "working" where a significant number of people simply don't work because that first rung in the "working" ladder isn't rewarding enough to start climbing the ladder, so they're incentivized to never work.

This was a concern with the recent economic assistance bill, the additional money from this bill going to unemployment was higher than minimum wage. Should the amount given been lowered so that "it doesn't disincentive work"? Maybe this shows that minimum wage needs to be raised?
This is not evidence that payroll taxes are borne solely by the worker. I'm not claiming that workers don't bear any of the burden. Just that they don't bear all of the burden. this would be especially true in an asymmetrical payroll tax system in competitive labor markets like the Seattle Software Developer market.
This is what has me not liking UBI. It makes zero sense to figure out how to pay a monthly stipend that comes at an astronomical cost but not healthcare.

Free healthcare would make the country smarter, more productive, healthier, better economy, etc.

UBI looks to me like a very bad idea that takes away power from citizens over the long term. I think it would be very ugly 50 years later. Get convicted of a felony? Lose your UBI. Born in an enemy country? Lose your UBI. Late on your credit card payment? We'll just take it out of your UBI.
You took a sarcastic question that was being asked from a defensive place and reflected it back to the person in an amplified way that was guaranteed to rub salt in their wound.
None of those suggestions are compatible with "stay at home" for real.

I'm assuming we all understand that "stay at home" really means "don't go to your regular job, but essential services such as food delivery and grocery store assistant are allowed".

But quite a lot of people are being told to stay at home for real, or advised to, on grounds of health risk or risk to someone else in their household. That excludes all of those out-of-home jobs.

What can people in the latter group do for emergency money?
People keep forgetting that a UBI won't cover immigrants. Immigrants would end up doing all the jobs that citizens don't want to do.

That's the biggest problem with UBI. It creates a default class system.
AFAIK, there is a comparable benchmark done on the latest versions for both. Druid definitely has a lot more production deployments as of today though.

A higher velocity of capital ~= larger economy, which is good.

However, a higher velocity of capital without commensurate economic value being created ~= massive inflation.

This is a potential risk for UBI, and one that small-scale studies do not cover. Ideally, the additional economic value would be greater than the face value of the capital transferred every year, but there is no guarantee that is correct (nor is there any reason they should even be on the same order of magnitude).

Implementing UBI on a national scale would be a grand experiment. Most grand experiments tend to fail with massive upheaval. I think for UBI to be adopted, you would need a plausible incremental strategy with a lot of safety checks.
Seems a bit extreme. Plenty of people (younger people especially) prefer living in a city regardless of where they work.
No, you definitely cannot use this calculator on the SAT. I also think that the College Board posts a list of permitted calculators.
Based on my experience with the various AWS SDK libraries, I don't think Amazon has very good developers, or perhaps they have good developers but a poor development culture. The architecture is convoluted, heavily OOP and just generally reminds me of Java in the early 2000s.

> A lot of what makes them successful as a hosting platform is the same content curation that people like to complain about.

I'm not sure about this. Besides removing obvious hate speech, which sort of content curation do you mean? I thought its success was due to everyone being able to upload and share video clips. I don't think curation was an important feature.

Fully in agreement with you on the actual legal positions regarding both tech and gun control. I am also against government regulating either.

But it doesn't mean that I cannot be upset at youtube for exercising their rights in ways that I disagree with. Mind you, I am not calling for a legal action against them or to change laws pertaining to those rights. I am just expressing that they shouldn't be exercising their rights in such a way, but they should still have the legal right to do so. Mostly because I believe that the unintended consequences of regulating that will be much worse (same with gun control).

Keep in mind a truck lasts for years, while a truck driver has to be paid yearly. I'm not figuring in maintenance costs for the truck here--if you'd like to argue that yearly maintenance costs for the truck are the same as the cost of the truck, I can look that up too, but I'm hoping you are a reasonable person.
They can't because of hustle culture.
I replied much the same to someone on twitter. They were complaining that their coworkers were good friends and they thought remote meant they would no longer have friends.

No! You'll now be able to make friends outside of tech! Imagine being able to work from the diner, or a coffee shop, or a bookstore, or a another country entirely! You're going to be able to make friends with so many different people. It would be a wonderful thing for the world.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I think it would go a long ways toward breaking humans out of the bubbles they tend to stay in. Maybe people would start to empathize and understand one another better.

You know what impact the mental and physical well being of workers? Have their company go under because they had to triple the size of the team just to implement an on call policy.

And I'm not talking about Amazon here. Of course Amazon can afford to hire everybody and their mom to cover 24 hours in a day. I'm under the impression that your original comment was really a critic of the practice in general, not just this specific example.

Some small companies build products they try to sell to bigger companies. These bigger companies have SLAs, so they need SLAs from their providers to sign a contract. Even at a small startup on call may be necessary to get customers.
Quite hard? I mean shame on them for letting this bug through in the first place but I'd be pretty horrified if someone at CB tried to hot-fix this problem out.

This isn't a small agile organization, it's enormous and may not have any route to get a patch out in less than a week due to QA requirements. (That isn't to say such slow deployment processes are good, but they do exist and may be contractually required)
Because school policy is driven mostly by lobbying and tradition, not by careful consideration of the best available options.
>I mention on-call duty because it is “peculiar” in that the only other profession requiring this kind of responsiveness is doctors, literal lifesavers. When you go on-call for the first time, it’s terrifying and tells you “holy crap, this is serious.”

I was genuinely looking for a logically consistent framework for excluding "insulting Trump supporters" from being an example of hate speech. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was labouring the point too much by asking where the lines around hate speech should be drawn.

I accept that there are objective historical examples of majority groups persecuting minority groups, and I'll ignore the difficulties of constructing well-defined subsets of a population (e.g. "working class") or whether a given group is numerically a minority (e.g. "females" in many countries). What I still think is subjective, though, is how much (and what sort of) persecution is necessary before a group becomes entitled to claim that hateful language used against them is "hate speech".

Imagine a hypothetical African country that had, say, France as its colonial occupier, under an apartheid system, but then allowed free elections, leading to the native population gaining political power. If the native population had talked about "getting rid of" their French occupiers, while the apartheid system was in place, presumably your definition of "hate speech" wouldn't have applied to that speech. But would your definition also not apply to similar speech (targeted at the same French people) after the occupying minority population lost their power? Would some amount of time (and violence) have to pass before the minority was entitled to point out that the hateful speech directed towards them was this special kind of "hate speech"?

Again, I apologise if this seems like a contrived example (and it's very hard to come up with an example that people don't have instinctive pre-conceptions and biases around), but I'm trying to explore if your definition really is as neutral as you think it is. You're right, though, that terms like "free speech" can be very nebulous, while still being useful concepts.
It's not though. You just type out the pronunciation and pick from a list if there are multiple. I'm actually surprised we don't have something like that for standard math input.

Any language’s implementation can do that in places as an optimization. But Haskell is one example where it doesn’t generally do that, and the code above works. I never checked this question out for other languages, but Java, likewise, only supports generics on reference types and generates one bytecode per definition, so it should be similar to Haskell in that respect.

Higher cost than what?

By the same argument, customers are paying the costs for Best Buy's internal logistics and retail floor operations to enable “free browse and instant pickup”. If those costs are higher than Amazon/NewEgg's costs for "free shipping", I'd expect to see exactly the relative prices that you're seeing.
Whose responsibility is that? Serious question.

> letting the students take the test again

Maybe you're not aware of how much time, energy, stress, etc go into taking these tests.

Imagine if your university lost its records of your undergraduate degree and offered to fix the problem by letting you earn your 4 year degree over again. I think you'd agree that wasn't an acceptable solution.

This situation is not that order of magnitude, but it's similar perhaps to taking an entire college course. My wife works with high school kids and they are losing their minds over this, and I think they are justified.
Ask HN: What tools does your startup use?
Hi HN! Long time lurker here. I am doing some research to better understand what the most common tools at startups are. Focusing on the business side - accounting, marketing automation, CRM, HR, etc. Know some of these are pretty obvious (Quickbooks and Hubspot) but part of what I am curious about is just how common different combinations of these tools are.

The reason for asking the question is I have been considering building out a dashboarding tool across these products targeted at SaaS companies to create a single pane of glass for seeing business operations and trends. If people care, more than happy to share the aggregated results here on HN! Curious to hear people's thoughts in the comments and also appreciate any other thoughts in the last comment box of the survey.

I wonder whether the reduction in air pollution will save more lives than the virus itself costs.

The answer will never be known, of course, both because the time horizon of pollution-related death is so different from that of the virus, and because the at-risk populations overlap so substantially. People with pollution-damaged lungs are much more likely to die from the virus, if they catch it.
Lots of IT jobs that deal with critical infrastructure have on-call duties.

Try working for some IT firm that supports healthcare, utility, defense, or what not, and I can assure you that there's rotation duty where you need to be on-call within xx minutes, 24/7.

During college I was interning for IT firm that provided networking for local hospitals, and they had the same rotation. My friend who got me the gig, worked there FT, and he basically had to forego social activities every 3 or 4 week, because he'd be on call 24/7.
There are many "smart" ways in creating JPGs. JPG compressors improved in recent years. If you have a HEIC image, it can usually be saved as JPG with the same quality, which is larger by only 10 - 15%. The term "fraction" is a complete nonsense.

Also, you can switch your camera settings in the iOS to save a JPG instead.
I don't think it would have been possible to push a fix that quickly. Verification and sign off on these sorts of systems would require weeks or months to push changes.

As someone who started their career in QA and volunteered with IT support for non-technical organizations, this is one of the first test cases I would have thought to try.

Never trust user input!

Frontend validation can never be trusted. It’s only good for giving faster feedback for a nicer user experience. You should always have backend validation.

I’ve seen people do some weird stuff before because the majority of users don’t really understand much about file types. Users rename file extension all of the time thinking it’ll magically convert a file into something that can be opened by their program of choice.

This is just poor QA by the College Board.

Advertisers are ultimately pulling ads because of the will of the people, so if you're going to follow this one step further you see that the public has censorship power and that's what we want

I think if you want to separate YouTube into separate stacks (eg fundamental infrastructure for hosting videos & a publisher / curator of those videos) you could imagine the infra part not being picky about what is uploaded (as long as it is legal) but the publisher part de listing videos except to be shared by link

Do you take issue with that?
On the other hand, the article mentions that a demo test did accept (renamed) HEIC files. If you test your setup and are told it works fine, you shouldn't need to dig through FAQs.

I would argue this falls under the equally old jurisdictional principle of estoppel or detrimental reliance.
Yup I get frustrated at this too. Tectonic changes taking places but there is always 1 dickhead going "I don't like working from home" that seems to dominate the discussion.

I have a funny feeling the people that don't like working from home are the same dickheads in the office that everyone else hates working with.
The cutoffs before payments started to taper off—not even get cut off entirely yet, but drop—were pretty damn high. Much higher than I expected when they started talking about it. Not by SV or NY professional-class wage earner standards, but very high for normal people. It wasn't universal but it wasn't too far off, either.

I think it's a little ridiculous that they knew this was going to be a problem and didn't do the relatively small amount of work it would have taken to correct the issue.

This makes the College Board look incompetent or uncaring.
Another commenter from another article about permanent telecommuting - most likely this will happen between metro areas in the same/similar timezones.

You can still have culture, transport and internet in smaller metros. Timezone is key - it's the main reason why offshoring leads to problems.

My experience with Amazon is that my signing bonus was in two parts:

Part one is in your first year where you get a lump sum signing bonus with your first paycheck (paid monthly) with the understanding that if you leave you would pay back a pro-rated amount proportional to how many months were left in the year.

Part two is in your second year and is paid partially with every pay check and if you leave you don’t pay anything back, you just don’t get the remainder of the money to be paid out the rest of the year.

After year two stock vests tend to vastly outpace the signing bonus pay but I’d imagine this varies on the stock price.

> With 700€/Month you aren't gonna far anyway, you have enaugh for food and rent , and that's it...

Contingent benefits disincentivize people from participating in the economy. People paid to do nothing... do nothing.

> For America it's different, America cannot technically afford "BI" because the entirety of the US economy has been built on having 20% of the population living under the poverty line in order for good & services to be cheap and consumed in mass.

Under any economic regime there will be a poorest 20% at any given time.

> Having "UBI" in US would create a skyrocket inflation because worker who are paid 10$/Hour would drop their work and stay at home and do something that is more profitable for them.

It causes inflation because more cash is chasing the same number of goods.

> Hence , the American culture revolve almost entirely around production of good and services for happiness.

Propaganda.
Its not really a mitigation if its the core security model. A mitigation is a work around. I guess technically a mitigation is anything that fixes the issue, but for example if someone had a password protected app that was hacked because it didnt check the password, i would not call actually checking the password a "mitigation"

Hire more people to do what? Be on-call?

Hiring more people is a great idea for making on-call less stressful, because it allows for much sparser on-call shifts (e.g., one week every 8 months vs. one week every 2 months). But I don't see how hiring more people gets rid of on-call completely. Someone will always have to be on-call.

You cannot just hire people who do on-call-only duties and nothing else, you have to be very closely familiar with the code and features being written in order to resolve issues effectively. Which usually means that you need to be someone who actually worked on those things, not just some glorified extra-fancy customer-support worker.

The organ donation does lead to perverse incentives, though cases of ER malpractice of the sort you describe are so exceedingly rare that any steps you take to solve this will save more live by being primarily focused on alleviating people's fear rather than reducing the minuscule number of actual cases.

The real issues of perverse incentives having a significant impact has to do more with for-profit companies that participate in the market for body parts and the state of interdependence that now exists with our understaffed medical examiners. There are far more cases of aggressive organ harvesting interfering with criminal investigations than ER doctors letting people die to collect the organs.
