> What's stopping prices from rising accordingly?

I'm still on the fence about UBI. But many of the things poor people would buy with this money is: food, clothes, ordinary household supplies, electricity, phone subscription, internet, etc.

Today, many of these things aren't necessarily priced based on supply/demand, at-least I rarely see prices fluctuate. I assume because our hyper-industrialized/semi-automated countries we can easily manufacturer as can be sold.

So instead stuff is priced based on what the _targeted customer segment_ is willing to pay. Hence, prices might not go up just because the customer segment grows in size.
Why are you assuming that? You just really want to force weed into this story somehow, is that the prism through which you see the world?
Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory to me
Never again should public policy be made subject to uncertainty? I may have some bad news for you about the human condition.
You are incorrect. The law does need to be changed. There is a specific law called Qualified Immunity which prevents officers from being brought to trial for these acts.

Change or remove that law, and things will absolutely change as you see families taking officers to court for felony murder, assault and battery, and other felony charges.
How about freedom chat? That would be such a riot!
I like the idea of using AWK for this.

Because the parent poster's comment is dead, I'm responding to yours. Yes, obeying unlawful orders from your commanding officer is a violation of the UCMJ, and you will be criminally charged for doing so unless it can be demonstrated through strong evidence that you could not have known the order was unlawful. You are simply responsible for your own actions, as is everyone else (including the police).
If someone is actively coordinating to an end that will result in people dying, should you not censor? Why have a mechanism to censor to begin with?

> I understand the importance of racial justice, but are you saying somehow the global economy (I read that as multinational capitalism) is some vanguard of this principle?

This has nothing to do with racial justice. Continued unrest, rioting,etc... Will enable a steeper curve for the 2nd wave of Corona. No bailout or any government measure will help. The US economy will not collapse by itself, jusr like in 2008 it will affect the global economy. This is the 11th hour! Facebook is enabling all this. I understand if they had an unmoderated platform, but they moderate plenty! In the end the consequence is something you must acknowledge at least as a possibility when saying "censor things but not nazis and race war propaganda"

This isn't about censorship,it's about policy. Do you also oppose fact checking? FB does!!

> Besides, the global economy in its current form is completely unsustainable.

So we should let it collapse? And how many wars and famine should be tolerated? I am all for change but not the "watch the world burn" kind of change.

P.S.: Please lookup the meetings between Zuckerberg and republican leadership this year. This is strictly about politics,not censorship.

Thank you! As far as I know (it's undocumented) the only source of depth data is very low resolution. The image data (where the color of each point comes from) is much, much higher - shame they're not on par with each other.

Hungary, and setting up a limited company starts at ~$10k here.

Indeed, UK is one of the options I'm looking at[1]. Compared to the alternatives I checked (e.g Estonia) it seems too good to be true, so I'm a little worried about hidden costs of running a business there, especially as a non resident.

Stripe Atlas starts at $500, but then you have franchise tax added on top of that and it quickly adds up if you need an accountant not to miss a tax filing (even though the cloud credits sound nice). For launching a funproject which will probably never generate that kind of money I can't justify the outlay.

There are plenty of simple games out there. I'd recommend a trip to a local game store. My friends Chris and Will run It's Your More on Telegraph Ave 51st street in Oakland. I can promise they can find you a board game with a degree of complexity you would like, since available run gamut from extreme simplicity to extreme complexity.

That said, I think complaints about complexity sometimes miss the way elaborate steps can be a sort of calming ritual rather than a part of the game as intellectual strategy and one's preferences there are personal. I personally love the game of Go, a game that probably achieves maximal complexity among face-to-face strategy game but I have seek out other players of this since none of my friends are interested.
"Majority of software firms either sell software (Sell fully or SaaS), or make money by advertising. If they are not going to make money by selling, who is going to pay the developers?"

The majority of programmers don't work for "software firms" that sell software. They are paid by, yes, advertising, financial services, various industrial things, the government, and just about every other industry.
Arguably, there are things like housing which may play out differently.

UBI without regulation, or some sort of gradual phasing-in would probably not be sound :D
> Different people have different wants and needs. Would you consider toys for children "spent well"? What about a netflix subscription? What if that netflix subscription gives the kids something to do while Mom goes to school? What about a babysitter, so parents can go out and feel human for once? What about a framed picture of a relative that just passed away

All of those are good examples of money well spent, or at least fairly well spent.

Bad examples would be things like drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, gambling, car/truck modifications, dirt bikes, ATVs, pornography, guns, etc.

That's what people are concerned about, not photographs of your dead grandma.
Once they started doing video games just directly embedded in the site I figured their MO was just to keep pushing the boundaries and see how far they could go until they got slapped.

One of the sides mentioned has a monopoly on the lawful use of force. Shouldn't we expect better from them in return?
> But why does that matter?

Because if people by and large hoard it it has a different impact than if they go spread it around in the local community and keep money flowing throughout the system. It's also good to know if they spend it on luxuries, entertainment, or basic necessities. Do they invest it and does it help them build a better future for their children, or does it just help them pay the bills immediately but doesn't necessarily lift them out of poverty, etc. Otherwise we can't tell if it helps solve the problems people are trying to solve with it (whatever those may be, I am not one of these researchers and am not qualified to speak on the economic specifics, I can just talk to general methodology and what not).

> People will spend it on whatever makes them happiest--that's the whole point.

Just specifically I want to point out the flaw in this reasoning: for a lot of people a $500 night out with their friends might make them happiest, or a new video game system or whatever it is that they like to do, but they may spend it on groceries or to help pay the rent or to invest a little bit instead. Or maybe not. You can't just assume what people will do with it, or what the whole point is, you have to experiment and prove it. Maybe something entirely different that you haven't thought of happens. Again, that's just how science works.

TL;DR this is an important thing to find out. Then we repeat the study in a few communities and see if the results are similar, maybe try it at different wealth levels to compare, etc. this is how science works.

> It doesn't answer the questions that most people have, such as the question in the post you replied to:

There can be more than one question, and more than one answer. Economists are researching this too and have written a lot about it. Just because you have a question, doesn't mean the science has to answer it right away and every single experiment has to be focused on it. There are lots of questions that will have to be answered before this could be tried more widely, these are just two of them.
That's a tricky one. It depends on how it affects the relationship with the upper class too.

Completely unreal example numbers: If the distribution of lower:middle:upper was 2:5:40 and changes to 4:8:25 then that's a big improvement, even though the gap between lower and middle increased from 3 to 4.
The study authors decided to administer DMB to all patients who arrived for treatment at the hospital after a certain date - I don't see why they could not have decided to administer DMB to 50% of patients and turn the study from an observational study into an RCT.

> As the COVID-19 situation evolved, we decided from 6 April 2020, to start DMB on all COVID-19 patients above 50 years old upon hospitalization and before the onset of the primary outcome event. Patients admitted during this period who did not receive DMB before event onset were served as control. Therapy comprised a single daily oral dose of vitamin D3 1000 IU, magnesium 150mg and vitamin B12 500mcg for up to 14 days
Facebook isn't a court and thus has no jurisdiction.
Full text search in English usually splits text into whole words so this doesn't happen.

I was told that in CJK languages you can't define a clear segmentation for words and it is more common to match exact substrings. I was playing a Chinese gatcha game the other day and noticed it was efficient to search for 'k s' when looking for 'pink storm' since the last letter of one word and the first letter of the next word are more evenly distributed than two adjacent letters in a word (e.g. Searching for 'st' would be a disaster.)

You think there is a clandestine 400 IQ policy such as this?
That sub is great because you really get a good sampling of what's going on.

There are peaceful/permitted protests that the police leave alone and occasionally support/join.

There are peaceful/not-permitted protests that the police disperse with various uses of non-lethal force.

There are Rioters that vandalize and try to blend with protesters but seldom directly confront the police - occasionally confronted by protesters.

...and then there's just tons of rampant looting with little police intervention.

Anyone blending these four distinct phenomenon is just doing truth and justice a disservice.
When reading a resume, it's important to remember that often one attributes group effort to oneself. That's just the generally agreed upon etiquette for resumes.

So a programmer who says 'Designed and developed a Ruby web app' probably did not do it herself from start to finish--she worked on a team with 20 others. That is meant to be understood in resume-speak and isn't misleading.

If I were reading that, I would infer that he assisted a professor in preparing/reviewing material, lead discussions (perhaps in study sessions or small groups), and suggested or wrote exam material on behalf-of and with the professor's approval.
Did the 100% system utilisation also lead to better performance? More cpu utilisation doesn’t always mean faster or higher throughput.
We can't end this debate without the warrant. You can acknowledge that you don't have that information and there's a chance it was justified before they rolled up if any of the people were known to be affiliated with dangerous people. If you know of a way to figure out if every situation is going to be dangerous before it happens, definitely put that forward. I'll acknowledge that it could have been some bored SWAT guys just looking to show off and it was completely unnecessary show of force and waste of taxpayer money.
Cops have been shot and at least four are in hospital as we speak right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAkY2tDQeGY
Unfortunately, that sub only documents one side of the story.
The first use case is actually handling project dependencies. If I remember correctly, it couldn't build packages at the first time, so the "build" subcommand was introduced only later. It's the same type of package manager (with lock file) as other languages already had like Cargo, Bundler or NPM.
That sounds like you want to provide everyone with stuff you like. Someone else probably wants free fast food and guns. How do we settle the difference? A bunch of lobbying and political action? Or just give everyone cash and let people make their own choices.
There are no sidelines in public policy. There's nowhere to wait to see how things turn out before making a decision.

So, there are no neutral decisions. "Waiting until we're more sure about something" is not actually waiting, it is an affirmative decision to disregard what we think we know right now. That can be a valid choice, and something to debate, but it's fundamentally different from the feined neutrality of the concept of waiting to see.

To make such an argument requires attacking that knowledge directly, showing specifically how it's wrong. Not just vaguely complaining that it's not good enough yet.

This is actually well-understood in public policy when it comes to other areas like economics or defense; leaders act to address needs in real time, making the best decisions they can with the information available to them. "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed at some indefinite time in the future.” ― General Patton

Engineering, as a discipline, cannot cover all of life. It largely constrains itself to situations that are understood, and can do so because there are other complementary disciplines that create the knowledge it uses. But in public policy there's not a complementary Earth or society that we can wait for.
> Virtue signalling costs nothing

While that is true, it's still worth pointing out that OP did quit his job, which is more than just virtue signaling.

It turns out that some psychologists have publicly criticized the use of that term as it does belittle people who are actually acting virtuously, in addition to conspicuously posting about it..

I can oblige.

It is significant to me.

You preach understanding and whatnot, but the moment I question your approach you deem it insignificant without attempting to understand. No rationalization, no reasoning. Just do better.

Seems a little smug.
Smoking cannabis in pipes occurred only after Columbus and the import of tobacco. I find that a little shocking, especially in India, where cannabis has religious value. Archeological work is sadly very rare in India... But if anyone finds an older chillum pipe, it will be a major discovery.

It would differ based on setting.

The idea that protests cannot be violent is strange to me.
non-violence is a particular strategy, not a requirement.
It's be great if the police in the US had a more consistent uniform. If I go from one town to another in the US the police could look completely different. How are you supposed to be able to tell a police officer from a private security guard there?
I strongly agree with this. We need to discuss important issues in good faith. It's hard work--assuming the best of each other, making an earnest effort to be open minded and well-informed, accepting when we're wrong and giving credit and thanks when we're educated--but it's so, so critical. And I agree HN beats the odds when it comes to adult conversations, and considering what it's up against (tech people aren't famous for their soft skills and lack of ego), I'm actually rather proud of us.
What is it that makes the black schools suck? What if there was a separate Japanese school, would it suck compared to white schools?
It's not about it being their business or somebody else's business, it's about good scientific methodology. If they hoard it that does different things to the local economy than if they spend it on luxuries vs if they spend it on rent, etc.

Knowing roughly what income brackets spend how much on what is helpful when deciding if this can work and help people, if it's just a waste of money, if it works up to a point but then anything over that point is mostly a waste, etc. this is how science works. See my other longer answer in this thread for slightly more detail.
How many people have these non-protestors killed? Are you talking about police or what you'd describe as rioters?

I have been looking for a replacement 13" laptop and for the first time in many years I am looking at getting a Win 10 laptop (heres hoping WSL2 will be the saviour for decent development setup). But is is hard finding decent 13" hardware that doesn't have annoying drawbacks. Hard to believe but there seems to be a market segment for a new laptop manufacturer that produces three models that are continuously refreshed every second year or so.
Because then for 100 keys, you'd need 200 wires, going to 200 pins on a really big microcontroller. But that would be really wasteful, because the switches can obviously all share one common voltage (typically ground) for one terminal. So naively, you'd actually just need 100 pins on the microcontroller plus ground.

But if you put the switches in a 10x10 matrix, then you just need 10+10 = 20 pins, enabling a cheaper micro, cheaper interconnect from the membrane switches to the PCB, etc. That's the benefit, but it comes at the cost of that ghosting (unless you add extra complexity, like a diode in series with each switch). Good keyboard vendors try to lay out the matrix so important key combinations don't ghost, like any combination of modifiers, WASD, etc.

Lawsuit Says Trump’s Social Media Crackdown Violates Free Speech
I've wondered this myself. Platforms could censor illegal material as required by law, then leave the gray areas to users. There's a pretty big technical challenge, though, because instead of training a single one-size-fits-all algorithm, you suddenly have to train N algorithms, where N is the number of users on your platform. In order to scale, this training may have to be done on the client.

But in addition to the technical challenge, I doubt these platforms want to cede the enormous power they have over information distribution. Right now Twitter can flex on the president of a global hegemon, which is crazy power. Why would they give that up?
Any idea why the git repo does not contain the data?
Not really, but it's a small town with a young, active population and way more bars per capita than is reasonable. So I hike, ski, go to bars and restaurants, work in hospitality. I would come into close-ish contact with 50+ people per day for sure. Probably more. Tourists and locals come into enough contact too (servers at restaurants, retail workers, etc...).

So Covid was likely floating around here, lots of people I know said they were sick but very few got tested, but our demographics mean that only 1 person died (80+ year old man) and no one else was ever hospitalized.

A primary problem with using so-called "scientific consensus" to form public policy, is that while (perhaps) the scientists that produced the research might (emphasis on might) understand that their research is falsifiable -- the rest of the body politic does not, and proceeds on the assumption that it is "settled science".

They get to reap the wind of publicly funded largesse, ... and we get to reap the whirlwind.

Both Engineers and Scientists must satisfy the Scientific Method; if your proposed hypothesis is refuted (ya, even just once, a little bit!), it must be abandoned.

Unfortunately, there appear to be a large body of both Scientists and Engineers that do not feel their research/results should be subjected to analysis and discarded when refuted -- and this insanity (ie. rejecting the Scientific Method =~= Insanity) is supported, stridently, by the political elites and public at large.
