UBI won't be real until there is a political will to relinquish control of poor people. The first step towards UBI is changing this culture of control. People don't even like school choice with vouchers, I doubt we're going to just give people large sums of money to be spent however they like with no strings attached. We spend about $15k/yr per public school student. Let's see how popular it is to cut a $15k check to each family per kid, you can spend that money however you like. It doesn't even have to be spent on education. Convert public housing to a check with no strings attached. No more food stamps or WIC cards either, just a check. Unfortunately we just don't live in that kind of culture.
I remember my mom helping my dad write his book. She did a lot of the typing. Make revisions, retype the whole book. I thought that was hell even as a child watching her work.

Today, just do the edits, hit [print].

Hours, hours, hours saved.

Ironically, my dad told me in the 70s that the two greatest inventions would be a TV you could hang on the wall and a typewriter where you could edit without retyping the whole thing. To think some people think we don't live in a wonderland!

(He missed the calculator. What a marvelous time saver that was!)
The tautology you see is in your own phrasing. The problem being raised here is that UBI is easy to abuse. Voters and politicians and bureaucrats can more easily hijack a deceptively simple UBI system after it's enacted, and no amount of "but that's not what Universal means" hairsplitting will help you then.

Welfare, on the other hand, is better understood and more narrowly focused. And even there you still have a ton of bullshit. I think UBI's deceptively simple yet vaguely broad scope will be tussled & twisted even more.
Well in New Orleans right now they’re using prisoners to break a strike. And they do ride/run behind the truck.
We're neighbours and I understand. One thing to be mindful of though: we have to phase out state jobs slowly. Mostly waiting for the aging buraocrats to die. Doing it too fast means you have to support a lot of unemployment which strains the already weak economy.
Not to mention that many variations of UBI proposals specifically exempt the kind of purchases most lower income people make most often. You can easily exempt normal groceries, clothing under a certain value, rent or utilities under a set value and many other essential items. UBI can be easily shaped to target luxury purchases.

I don’t think that’s exactly enough for serious things, like Anti-Money-Laundering or Bribery in finance. The company also needs to make be able to prove they (1) actually implemented reasonable policies to prevent it (e.g. having access controls, educating employees on relevant legislation, etc.) and (2) make sure that they’re not just avoiding the problem (e.g. by telling employees not to do it but then not investigating, or by hiring another local company to do the bribing).

I'm in a similar situation after being laid off from my job. I would have a much more enjoyable life if I didn't have to find a new job. I've improved as a person more over the past few months than I have in the past few years working full-time. Now I have the time (all of it really) to actually think about who I am and how I can improve my habits, diet, health, etc.

I feel like nearly everyone (especially in America) are too caught up in their careers to realize how unhappy and unhealthy they really are.

>but no kind of income

I'm not saying it's a livable income. I don't think there's anything in in the definition of "income" that says a person needs to be able to live off it. It just means money that comes in. Anyway, the prefix mini should indicate that it's smaller than normal UBI.

>The payments are just a way to soften the blow of the tax, but the reality is that it would disproportionately impact those lower on the income scale, especially in climates that require significant A/C

Why? Wouldn't the poor person use less A/C than the rich person? The the poor person would overall profit from it.

>That means you pay more tax as a fraction of income the lower your income.

Sure, but paying the money back a fixed amount per person leads to an even more extreme fraction of income of money gained by the poor people. You've got a regressive tax (carbon tax), then a much more regressive tax (fixed dollar amount per person). Except the second one is a negative tax, so overall the 2 taxes together are progressive.
This is a good thing, not a bad thing. I would say it corrects job markets, turns them from slavery due to lack of options, into fair competitive markets on both supply and demand sides.

It will not affect day to day life very much unless you've been underpaying for a vital service (in this case, you're the slave owner). Then all the slave owners will just have to pay more for services that they want.

Since it's a black hole, it's gravitational effect would be at least as much as the Sun. Is there evidence to support this tug of war?
As other commenters have pointed out, the kids (and adults) in this picture may simply not have the technical skills to even get started.

As a child, I went to the library, got a book on programming and was dying to learn how to do it but didn't manage to compile a single program for years.

A programming app, or a programming robot, or some other tailor made solution may well be the right solution for some of these kids.
Google fiber support is terrible too. There is no way to transfer service to another address. Instead you have to sign up with a different Google account at the new address.

You're making my point for me. Every single one of those is a stupid argument.

There are plenty of good arguments to be made for all of those things, but "everyone else does it" is not one of them.

Look, if every other country legalizes murder tomorrow, does that mean we should, too? No? Then whether everyone else is doing it is clearly irrelevant.

Somebody will probably sic dang on me for saying this, but it is mind boggling to me that I have to explain this.
Because, money.
I can understand, on a credit transaction, there is a larger risk when a larger amount is spent. But even then I would expect some tiers. But for an online transaction, where there is no real risk to the middleman, it is about making more money.

This is the actual dilemma with UBI that should be discussed. I feel though that not everyone who leaves the workforce will generate $0 in value. There are many people who would rather create their own small business, maybe selling a minor product, streaming video games, or any number of things. Over the past few months I've realized that there is so much opportunity to work for yourself online by providing some niche service that you really can sustain yourself. If you have enough time, patience, and money to find that niche and work at it that is.

Home field advantage lessening but not disappearing is as expected. There are two major sources of home field advantage (basing on US sports):

* What fans influence: subconscious referee biases (not wanting to be booed for a close call), heckling that slightly impacts players’ focus, objects being waved in their line of sight, noise levels rising at inopportune times, etc.

* Travel/comfort: the home team players sleep in their own custom-tailored sleeping environments (these can include stuff like oxygen tents, not just nice mattresses), don’t spend time encased in a plane / train / bus environment not designed for optimizing future athletic performance, and don’t have travel stresses and logistical headaches. Also for those inclined, the local club / strip club / groupie scene doesn’t hold the same mysterious allure on a random Tuesday night as it might for the lad from out of town.

The second set of factors remains even when fans aren’t allowed inside the arena.
They actually stopped using prisoners, but are still only paying $10.25 an hour and work one of the hardest jobs I can imagine. They are basically not allowed to use the lift on the truck because it slows them down, so they hand lift my cans every time in the 95 degree heat.
Black holes do not have more gravity per mass than any other object.

Put the other way, if the sun would suddenly change into a black hole without losing a lot of mass, the earth would still follow the exact same orbit.
> In Europe and Australia, all those jobs get done and the people doing them get fairly compensated for it.

Having worked in the service industry in wealthy Iceland for years, I can’t say I agree with this statement.

While working exusting 12 hour shifts with mandatory minimum pay (sometime a little less because of exploitative unpaid overtime), the owner of the business was regularly found to be the highest payed person in the country.

In other words, my work, contributed to some rich guy getting richer, while my compensation was only as little as he was allowed to pay me. That doesn’t seem fair does it. Ask any working class person, in europe and I’m sure they have a similar story.
It's similar to children of mothers who all stayed at home. A generation later, many of their daughters decide (or are forced) to enter the workforce, but not all. I see working and non-working moms coexist today without any undue tension.
Mail in ballots still need to get to the voter before Election Day. If the voter doesn’t deliver it to a post office or a poll station before Election Day it doesn’t get counted. Can you imagine how pissed people will be if Election Day rolls around and fewer than 50% of mail-in voters have been delivered ballots? Taxation without representation doesn’t go over well in the USA.

Yes, people can go to a polling place and file a provisional, but the whole point of mail-in is so we don’t have to. Also, with COVID affecting older people more than younger, there may be a shortage of poll workers.

Also prep time: The county election office needs a reliable estimate of how long the mail leg will take so they can target the process of printing and sending the voter package. They need to be able to print some of the packages on short notice for newly registered voters and party affiliation changes.

> That is of course not true, because as you yourself point out, there is still child labor going on.

In specifically the area where it wasn't banned.

> Banning something has nothing to do with it existing

Odd, then, that child labor has been vastly reduced in exactly the domains where it is prohibited, and not where it isn’t.

> Minimum wage law made child labor mostly unprofitable, is what I should have said.

Were that the case, and not prohibition being the limiting factor, you'd expect child labor to exist where minimum wage is inapplicable, but not where it is, even independent of whether it is allowed.

But in agriculture, where it is prevalent and not prohibited, minimum wage applies and hasn't limited it. Yet it's not found in most of the other places it existed before being banned, and where it is, in fact, prohibited. It's prohibition, not minimum wage, that did it in.

Although there is a technical sense where “minimum wage law” is the deciding factor, because it was actually the same law (though the applicability of the minimum wage and the child labor prohibition pieces differ) that implemented federal minimum wage and the child labor prohibitions and restrictions, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.
This paper postulates a black hole with 5-15 times Earth's mass, which is considerably less than the sun.
I tried pinboard archival account but decided to request refund because it uses iframe, which prevent my annotating tool to work (Memex 2), also prevents full text search for Medium posts.
Other aspect that I consider is the lack of nice iOS app.

Now I use Raindrop.io, and eventhough the iOS app is not that great, but it allow full text search for Medium account.

My question is, can you check Pinboard's archival account feature on whether it still use iframe, and whether you can do full text search on Medium posts?
Thank you!
I like the idea but instead of pools going arbitrarily every which way or to the discretion of the donator, it should be automatically applied across that open source project's dependencies as well. If I am open source software A, and I make ample use of open source software B within my project, your pool donation should automatically apply some to B, relative to it's usage in the project.
The interesting bit about this to me, if this is happening in our immediate neighborhood, is if it’s an indication that it’s actually a commonplace phenomenon and further - an explanation of our missing matter to bind galaxies.

A primordial black hole is not visible but it would interact gravitationally, potentially with multiple of them clustering up in groups. Dark matter work this way seemingly including clustering. Some galaxies seem to be made up by a ton of the stuff, others by barely anything. Could that be due to random chance; i.e. primordial black holes distributed unevenly since the cosmic inflation era, much like the non-uniform distribution of matter at large?

Weak typing is when types get automatically transformed like 2 + “3” == 5,
“2” + 3 == “23”.
Strong typing doesn’t do these types of automatic conversions and throws exceptions or generates a compiler error.

Static typing — types checked at compile time.
Dynamic typing — types checked at runtime.
Hi again, this is a really late answer, but I tried to look for a good explanation and I think this article covers a lot:

I started by reading the top but it actually covers a lot of the topics in this thread from a christian perspective.
This will be similar to the college fees conundrum, no? An increase in financial aid resulted in colleges spiking up their fees (one of many factors - but definitely one factor). So won't landlord be similarly incentivized to increase the rents they collect?
Maybe a better example of what i'm referring to was a recent blog about why amish people get away with low medical expenses (one of the reasons being - their not being part of the insurance that the rest of the folks have..)
Current events indicate the US can take something the rest of the world accomplishes and make a royal mess of it.
Its status as the world reserve currency makes the US dollar very resilient right now, but what happens if or when that stops? Do you think it will always stay the reserve currency forever and ever?

Let's not forget how the US dollar became so strong in the first place. It probably wasn't because we gave a lot of people money to do nothing of value, and it wasn't because it started its life as a reserve currency from the very beginning.
I've seen it do it as well and I'm pretty sure now that it's part of the "automatic repair" process that Windows does when it detects 3 (?) failed boots. What happened pretty often to me is that I'd miss the boot screen and Windows would start booting (it's the default bc it's a shared PC) and in order to not waste time, I'd force a reboot. After a few times, next time Win would actually boot, it would go into rescue mode and start poking around the EFI partition and efivars doing god knows what that ended up in my GRUB not even showing up in the F11 boot menu.
I've worked on two redesigns that had a large positive initial reaction, but I think that was because the original design was very old and very unpopular. If you have something that feels pretty modern and not a large number of complaints from your userbase a redesign will probably be more unpopular than popular, no matter how much you think the redesign will in the end improve some metrics.

That is why support contracts exist.

Had Google been serious about the Nexus it would have made contracts that would legally bind those maker to how many years Google would see fit, and they would have to provide such support or pay compensation when not.

Google excuses only work for those that don't understand law.

All of these would show 1. basic language ability, 2. some simple algorithms, 3. ability to do something to completion.

That page is a bit misleading. That's total consumption of aviation gasoline, which is what powers aircraft with piston-based engines. Aircraft with jet engines use a distinctly different fuel aptly called jet fuel, which isn't accounted for on that gasoline page.

If you go to this[1] page, it buckets all aviation into a category, and shows it accounts for 9.4% of US transportation energy consumption. Still significantly lower than the 54.5% that light-duty account for, but a substantially larger proportion than the gasoline page leads one to believe.

One thing to keep in mind for [1] is that it doesn't differentiate between consumer and commercial usage. And there are a lot of non-consumer vehicles that'd fall into it. A few examples likely to be large contributors to that category due to sheer volume and time on the road: last mile delivery vehicles, taxis, and police cruisers.

As European same here.

For some strange reason Google supporters never consider that had Google actually cared, there would be support contracts in place with its providers.

Apparently that is something that doesn't exist in US, the hardware maker is the only one to blame.
> Shipping by ocean is surprisingly low in carbon emissions.

Surprisingly low emissions per amount of cargo transported, yes. But the absolute amount of emissions is still huge and the amount of cargo keeps growing, so I don't think this measure is very relevant.

Cargo ships are better for the environment than shipping the same amount of goods from China to the US via trucks. But as the latter isn't possible anyway, this is not a very tangible benefit.

What would benefit the environment was shipping less goods.
Author here - 100% agree on all fronts! I was dancing around this conclusion but it really does need to be GitHub.

And I agree people would be fine paying their own fees if it came to that. Also, in that case, if someone is donating a non-trivial amount, they're incentivized to fund their wallet with a cheaper payment method like an ACH transfer.
