A book to read, though older, is Tyranny of Kindness and it expands on the plight in vivid detail of our current system.

The article is an anecdote, but it tells the narrative of how the current setup is pretty difficult for people, particularly single mothers with children. They are already at the mercy of people and find no help for charity. In the article, it even mentions how the family that gets supported moves out of their subsidized apartment. It also mentions how brutal the current system is in terms of cutting off benefits.
> In the end, it will lead to a grossly impoverished class of UBI recipients who will work 6 days a week for $3.25 an hour to supplement their meagre UBI.

I don't know how to break this to you, but surely you know there is already a grossly impoverished group of people working 6 days a week for $3.25 an hour without UBI.

If you add the UBI to their income they'll be hugely better off and they might even be able to choose between working those 6 days or staying at home and looking after their children, or caring for an elderly relative without the risk of being made homeless, or being unable to afford food for their family.

>A company built a new office nearby? Rent goes up. More "affluent" people are moving into a particular area? Rent goes up. And so on.

Those things seem to be due to demand. A new office means that people can make more money living in that location, so are willing to pay more for accommodation there. More affluent people moving to a location means that they must see some value in living there. How does UBI increase the demand for housing in any one place (or at all)?

Waking up at the same time everyday!

Sounds counter intuitive but forcing myself to wake up at the same time irrespective of the quality of sleep has forced my body to adapt. If some reason I couldn't get a good sleep, I still force myself to get up at the scheduled time. This makes me drowsy on the day but I will be tired enough to get a deep sleep next day. If I let myself take few more hours of nap by snoozing because I didn't got enough sleep that spirals down.
I'm pretty sure both Ubuntu and Fedora installers display and have the option for MOK enrollment, when you have SB enabled and you select ~"Install additional drivers", meaning you can install your own modules.
The whole point of UBI is that you get income (the "I" in UBI) wether you have other sources of income (aka a job) of not (the "U" for Universal in UBI).

The social welfare in nordic countries is mostly not income (housing, free healthcare, ...) and is certainly not universal (you lose access to it once you have a job, or you have to pay for it through taxes, and some of the fees are waived for people with low income).

I rally love the social welfare of Sweden et al. but calling that "basically UBI" is missing the point.
"the maximum that the landlord can get for it" is a function of (approximately the minimum of) [1] the amount of money the tenant earns and [2] the price of the tenant's alternatives.

Just because [1] increases, doesn't necessarily mean [2] does.
Isn't this straight forward?

If the employees responsible for product development for Amazon brands have credentials to access 3rd party data, then assume they used it.

Doesn't matter if only one used it, or all of them - they had access to it, all the rest is semantics/claims/smoke&mirrors.
It could be the other way around. The person came to HN in a good faith but faced unfair downvoting of otherwise reasonable comments. Which eventually made the person write in their profile what's currently written.

Sometimes people become toxic because they weren't treated fairly.
You're always paying your employees' taxes. Documented workers with social security numbers need employer-provided SS and Medicare taxes paid for their "over the table" wages. A company pays fewer of its employees' taxes for undocumented labor.
If an account is created and posts a single comment that lots of people downvote it, that wouldn't send their profile to (and beyond) -12?

(Generally speaking, I know the user discussed has commented more than once.)
It's not that, it's the difference in the gravity field between two points. On Earth, the gravity field is very close to uniform.

Near a small black hole, the field changes rapidly and is very strong.

It's a "pull" effect, meaning that if you were oriented with your feet towards the object as described by the GP, and 2m tall, your feet would experience 1.6 G more "gravity" than your head. It's a tidal force, literally working to pull you apart (same effect causes tides on Earth).

If you were to fall into the black hole, at some point you'd be "stringified" as that force stretched you into spaghetti shape.
These are red herrings.

The problems exist now. How does more income make poor people more at the mercy of wealthier people? How does more income make poor people more susceptible to predators and scams?

UBI helps mitigate these problems, it doesn't create or make them worse. Even charity... I expect some people will increase their donations, because the UBI is free money and they don't necessarily need it.
I'm dense. Can you explain "another reason you’d not build is speculation"?
I wrote a big long article for you, but realized you’d counter with the idea that landlords will collectively decide to hike rents no matter what.

So, the simple argument that UBI will not increase minimum rents by 2k a month overnight with no improvement in living conditions: landlords will have to compete to get the UBI out of individuals hands. Right now, the lowest income housing isn’t in competition for individuals, it’s competing for government approval and integration. If everyone individually has 2k a month to spend, they have the luxury of shopping around.

You are assuming people actually make money on rental properties. I have had 3 rental properties and you don’t make a profit until the mortgage is paid off which is practically never. What you propose would hurt more people than it helps.
What systems don't come with nano these days?
FFmpeg Programming Tutorial
I’ve been having trouble finding vi/vim lately on some installs, namely Ubuntu, although maybe they just leave it out of the default docker image? I use it sometimes for debugging conf files in between docker builds. But if you have to install something anyway, maybe it doesn’t make any difference if it’s vim or nano (emacs, though, I mean come on).

I think also I was on a real Linux box a few weeks ago (can’t remember what distro, sorry) that only came with ed by default. That was interesting, at least until I gave up and installed vi.
Interesting — I did not realise Nano was a GNU project again. In fact, Nano apparently did not leave GNU for very long.
They raised $200M at a $1B valuation, so sold 20% of the company to the investors.

"The company, currently profitable, generated €602 million ($710 million) in revenue last year, up 38% year over year, the sources said."

Why on earth would they accept a valuation that was less than 1.5x revenue? Service companies get a better valuation than that!

The article says they are profitable, so presumably not about to run out of cash.

Something very strange is going on with this deal.
it’s not the only way and i think there could be massive, negative side effects. economic localization is the way forward. it would help with carbon reduction, offset job loss from automation, counteract the loss of human scale with regards to the interconnected, toxic mass consciousness by moving our realities back to our communities.
Are you really suggesting that it’s not possible to cultivate intelligence in an age where even the lowest classes have instant access to the sum of human knowledge? You either agree that all men(humans) are born equal or you agree that some men(humans) have a right to rule. You can’t assert that everyone deserves equal rights while also asserting that some people are simply smarter by nature, obviously smarter people need to be making the decisions right? Or are we already at the point that we’re calling intelligence subjective

Yes, see retired social security recipients as an example. But you won’t find these folk renting in SF on a social security check.

Yeah, micro seems quite nice. Bit of an uncanny valley, however, because as a terminal editor, it doesn't support emacs/zile keybindings, and by default it doesn't use nano keybindings.

However, I just realised that if I think of micro as a notepad alternative, the keybindings make total sense.

Is WFH actually more acceptable? Sure some tech companies have promised to go permanently WFH. But every other business that isn't a social media company cannot wait to get back to the office and constantly complain about lost productivity due to online meetings.

Maybe it's just my bubble, but unless someone had a tech job, they seem to hate WFH.
That would be my reservation also. Give people regular money and some subset of the community will still run a life gauntlet that is effectively poverty. Squalor, poor food choices, poor relationship or parenting choices. Compounded by mental illness. They're not secreted away, so what changes in your neighbourhood?

During this pandemic situation, many Australians are getting $750/w virtually no strings attached. I know of people bumming around the house waiting for their perception of the economy to improve, and I know of others working more than usual to bolster their bank account with the influx.

Currently the page must be writeable at some point in order to create the trampoline.

A page fault is used as a way of executing the trampoline without the page having to be made executable/writable---the page fault handler recognises the page as a special trampoline page and handles the jump to the trampolines target address (which was previously registered using the new syscall).

Note that AFAICS this is unrelated to Spectre. The intended use is for constructing closures for use in FFI libraries such as libffi.

EDIT: I think I perhaps misunderstood your query---are you saying why not just make a system call where the kernel creates the page for you with the desired trampoline code and execute permissions?

It's utterly disappointing to see the top voted story on hacker news is am economics story (which is great!) on such an interesting topic written by a developer who from reading from his introduction has an undergraduate level of knowledge of economics, surely we can do better for sources and expertise in subject matter.

And this is not personal against the author a brilliant blog post (but note it's a blog).
Valuation for investment purposes and GAAP for accounting purposes are quite unrelated. Valuation is the art of estimating future cashflows, GAAP is the practice of reporting current cashflows that are comparable between firms. Obviously, valuation gets easier when the accounting is "more" GAAP. But just as firms are allowed to report all kinds of non-GAAP measures to further enhance their attractivity, the valuing party can use all kinds of measure, like future growth rates or debt schemes to enhance the valuation (caveat emptor). So there might be a huge difference in valuation and P/E between EU and US, but GAAP has little to do with that. In second order effects we could discuss whether US GAAP vs IFRS has an effect on how aggresively investors can account for these investments but I don't think that's the main driver of what I look at as runaway valuations in the US.

Edit: Seeing the rest of the thread. If the valuation seems low I'd expect that the due dilligence turned up some nasty things that where not in line with the non-GAAP financial statements of Infobit in the past. I couldn't find any audited financial statements. € 700 mln. revenue with growth potential at 18% margin does not lead to a € 1 bn. valuation in the absence of red flags.
This comic by Zach Weinersmith summarizes Stuart Ritchie's recent book Science Fiction. To combat the problem of low-quality science papers, one of the panels suggests:

> [journals] can demand scientists share their data, and to prove that they've written down their analysis plans before they touch the data

I wonder if this doesn't gloss over a deeper underlying problem: journals have traditionally assumed the copyright of the paper. Journals themselves have an incentive to obfuscate and protect the underlying data and content.

Ultimately, any complex system or institution will be more susceptible to gaming when it is mature and its value proposition clearly established. Anti-gamification is hard to design into the early stages of a system when it is needed most.
The general idea is that the benefits are worth the cost of paying for it, more so than existing welfare schemes. That might be a subjective test, but it evidently didn't pass because it wasn't renewed.
The current situation may prove temporary, so some are hesitant to change their living arrangements. It is too early to see if wages will move for white collar city dwellers (since wages mostly change when people switch roles this has a lag). Already rents in some major cities such as London have declined.
As a huge fan of Vim, I begrudgingly admit you have a point.

To someone new to the command-line, Vim is not at all approachable. Once you know your way around Vim, it's a fantastic editor, and frankly Nano just doesn't compare, but you can't expect a newbie to be able to use Vim effectively. Without a tutorial and a deliberate effort to learn it, Vim is rather baffling.

To the question of what should be the default, I suppose it depends on the context. A power-user distro wouldn't have much use for Nano, the choice would be between Vim and Emacs.
To quote Asimov:

"Its dependence upon the outer worlds for food and, indeed, for all necessities of life, made Trantor increasingly vulnerable to conquest by siege. In the last millennium of the Empire, the monotonously numerous revolts made Emperor after Emperor conscious of this, and Imperial policy became little more than the protection of Trantor's delicate jugular vein".

Oh right, it uses the operating system clipboard? That's kinda handy.

In other terminal editors I sometimes have to do a slight pause, to work out whether I'm using the editor-in-built yank chain, or pasting from operating system clipboard using the not-as-standard-as-Ctrl-V terminal emulator binding, Ctrl-Shift-V.
It's a matter of what you are used to. I'm used to VIM, so when I unexpectedly am dropped into Nano I'm a bit confused (never got around to using it much).

That being said, for new users without bias, nano definitely seems easier.
Sharks love biting cable with electricity flowing in it. Even with redundancy, submarine cable cuts cause big outages on the internet, I am sure they know this but I wonder why they think the risk is not a deal breaker?

Zoning laws are not price fixing. Practically every dwelling in a zone has a different price on it, because of supply&demand.
> Microsoft was wanting to push NT into the CG/VFX market

That's what I meant. In isolation, the business meant no sense. It was a PR move to validate NT as a graphics platform. With that goal accomplished, I got the impression the product languished without significant development.

> SGI also helped contribute to IRIX's obsolescence by producing NT based systems for this new Softimage|3D on NT move.

Indeed. Microsoft assisted SGI in its suicide.
My only hardship with this is about half the population doesn't know the difference between a slash and a backslash, which is probably not their fault because they wouldn't have encountered them outside of typesetting or computing. Which is fine until you hear the TV person above do it wrong. Luckily most browsers figure it out.

I like to tell people slash is the one you put in a date.

I just happened across https://www.calcapp.net/ yesterday while doing research for a project I'm currently working on that requires similar features.
Nano is great as an idea - a editor with almost no features which is small, fast and is everywhere. Howerer, it suffers from the same as all open source projects. Working on it is fun, so they add new feautres with each version. Now 'nano' is not nano anymore. It even has had syntax highlighting for some time already.

The US having digital access to financial records of citizens in Switerzland, is not comparable to the scale of government entities overseeing the entire global manufacturing base.

The US/EU could feasibly make some kind of trade pact, whereby producers are required to indicate the carbon used in each product, but there is no feasible way to oversee it.

Because people want to buy those things badly enough that they will spend less on housing, to a point, to afford them.

Theoretically a nationwide increase in discretionary income could create new classes of goods that would be desired enough to compete with rent and phones. Or it might not and people would just spend more on rent and phones up to their new limit. Phones would probably move upmarket to capture this revenue as they are essentially globally competitive. Rent would not as much due to the nature of housing supply and the effort of moving cities.
I wrote my MS dissertation under TimBL at MIT. I was into semantic web technologies in the late aughts and chatted with him few times about the double-slash and web nomenclatures etc.

I think this article either exaggerates or misstates his intent. IIRC, his thinking was the double slash was just a continuation of the path operator in *nix and would represent the "hyper" in hypertext.
I suspect rents rise to where it is just about tolerable for most people in any particular renting cohort, where the cohort is matched to the type & quality of housing.

When it's not tolerable, people leave the cohort and move down a grade, to lower quality and therefore cheaper housing.

Obviously it's not tolerable if you don't have enough money left for food & essential bills.

Not sure why iPhone & Netflix come into this, because they are so extraordinarily cheap compared with rent, food and bills. But of course a phone is essential, and an iPhone very useful, cheap (on contract) and arguably essential these days - for some people it's their only access to the internet. People would not find it tolerable if they couldn't afford a few nice, cheap things, such as Netflix.

When you account for rent, food, bills and a few nice things, as far as I can tell that does take up all the income for many. Have you noticed that a lot of people aren't saving anything?

Of those who are saving, mostly they are saving for a deposit on a mortgage, and/or a pension.

Any approach to OSS funding based on donations fundamentally doesn't scale because the economic incentives just aren't there.

This is wrong. The biggest advantage of Pony is to support pointers into shared memory and still guarantee all 3 safeties. It just doesn't support blocking IO if you need that. And pointers into shared memory have severe limitations, just as in the real world. But the advantage is that the compiler already guarantees safety.

Wouldn't that only work if the other town didn't also have UBI? I think the conjecture is that if everyone, everywhere is suddenly guaranteed to have a certain minimum amount of money per month then landlords everywhere are going to raise rents. Who are the landlords that are just going to leave money sitting on the table at a cost to themselves? The only thing that could counter this reliably would be an increase in housing supply.

I actually think that would be a better solution than UBI, figure out what American public housing has done wrong (namely the idiotic towers in a park idea) and fix it, say by producing lower density functional neighbourhoods that have proper streets, places for business, community services, etc. and just build masses of them. Housing is the biggest cost after all and it's a large public works project that could be carried out everywhere. You'd have to fix the problem of corruption in projects of that nature though and that's unfortunately a much bigger challenge.

There was an article on here a while ago about a successful undertaking in Greece to build massive amounts of new housing without major public investment, maybe just do that? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-07-15/the-desig...
