Many companies do the same thing. The employee isn’t fired they are just asked not to return for the 2 weeks. I’ve never heard of the employer not paying out the 2 weeks.
I was responding to the enormity of his claims, not the question of ethics.
Not grandparent but it saves time the same way syntax highlighting saves time. You simply recognize the difference faster.

With http://example.com it's quicker to distinguish the protocol (http) and the domain name (example.com).

Compare that to http:example.com and it might take a bit longer at first glance (to some people), because they read over the : and then need to do a quick linear scan before they spot the : and are then able to distinguish http vs example.com

Given that one sees a lot of domain names, I'd say it'd save a few hours of everyone's life in the aggregate.

For comparison, it takes me about 15 minutes to go voting in Germany. That includes walking to the polling station, someone checking my id and me checking a few boxes on a paper ballot.

There is usually no queue and we don't have voting machines because they can be easily manipulated, as has been demonstrated a number of times.

Elections are held on Sundays, when most shops are closed, so that everyone can participate.
LVT would help in a few ways:

1) Public investments such as subways yield increases to public coffers (today, the landlords who happen to own land near a new subway station get a windfall off the city’s billions of dollars of investment). This would incentivize public investment.

2) Land speculation goes away, and development is strongly incentivized, so more units come online and push prices down.

3) Both of the above improvements, as well as private investments made due to public/communal value (such as HQ2 not being built in the middle of nowhere), would funnel huge amounts of money to public coffers. We as a democratic society can decide if we want service workers living in our cities (I reckon anyone who lives in reality does want this) and have the resources to fund making that possible. Things like functioning transit systems go a long, long way.
Yes, not bad at all. I would back it too, if I could afford to.

What I wonder is, did they have a following from before, and that is how they were able to reach enough people to get to 200% of their goal in so short time? Or did it simply spread organically because of how awesome it is? The video was really good and convincing. I just always wonder this because I would like to do a Kickstarter for a project of my own some day maybe, but don’t have any following so I think my project would not receive enough backers. But if it is possible to get backing without a pre-existing big group of followers then that is very encouraging.

Edit: Also, what’s the name of the chiptune at the end of the video again? I’ve listened to that one many times before but can’t remember what it was called.
Is this true? If so, GDPR, like SOX 404 will stink from an actual getting devs to own their own code perspective.

It devolves into a bunch of managers saying no ops person can have any write access to git at all and no dev person can have any read access to prod, let alone deploy code, thus throwing up a wall to have stuff thrown over.

Separation of duties is the worst, stupidest, clumsiest control ever but all the auditors and management types love it because it doesn't require them to think.

IT controls are far less used as the only control as the Phoenix Project alludes and yet the default state for any auditor is "it's all in Sox scope and everything is an IT control, lock it all down" and unless management has a clue and a care, they just do it.

In the process, they contort the CICD pipeline in horrible ways to say that yes, they have obtained the magical way of separation of duties.

> Again - does anyone have a rigorous, convincing analysis of the cost of means testing specifically? Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

We don't actually need a rigorous analysis of the costs of means testing to conclude that arguments that extending a benefit from <10% of the relevant population cohort (e.g. an unemployment benefit with eligibility testing) to 100% of it (i.e. all working age population) will cost more than the testing, unless governments spend 90%+ of the relevant component of their welfare budget on admin rather than payouts. Common sense as well as the published statistics confirms they generally don't.
This argument would be much more persuasive if each landlord could supply an effectively unlimited supply of housing. As things currently stand, a landlord reducing his rent would clear his limited inventory first, but the broader effects of the actions of a single agent would be fairly muted.
My biggest UBI fear is this.

UBI becomes the single biggest election issue. Politicians promising increases to get elected, and all the bad policy that stems from such motivations. This is then followed by an inevitable pullback at some point in the future, causing immense harm to everyone relying on every cent of their UBI (most people).
> Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, Quora had a strong office culture and discouraged employees from working remotely most of the time. But once the company had no choice, Quora CEO and co-founder Adam D’Angelo says they discovered the benefits of working from anywhere far outweigh the drawbacks.

I'm surprise that so many people couldn't figure this out without being forced to try it against their will.

I also wonder how Quora's transition will turn out. Every remote-first organization I've seen started out as a remote-first org.

Ask HN: Danger signs you are partnering with a dreamer?
What are the danger signs you are partnering with a dreamer in your startup?
There is a simpler model that works very well across the whole world. Rent is tied to the price of real estate, which is tied to the purchasing power of the average person living in the area. At some point it's not even worth for the renters to rent out and keep themselves outside the reach of rent controls because their property simply goes up in value and they can take loans against it. As banks expand credit at low risk premium, now to everybody thanks to the new income from UBI prices will only go up. Bank lending drives prices in the end and income and rates are the key factors.
Classically [0], land taxes aren't on the value of the house, but of the land underneath. But, let's say that both the house and the land underneath get taxed, as is currently done. As a middle class homeowner, my total property tax bill is a small fraction of my income tax bill.

Let's say the US collects 6 Trillion/ year in all taxes [I'm probably off by some percent, but not too much for an internet comment.] Let's say there are about 1.5 Billion acres of taxable land in the US (Reverse engineered from "The federal government owns about 640 million acres of land in the United States, about 28% of the total land area of 2.27 billion acres." [1]) That works out to $4000/acre. For my ~sixth of an acre lot, my Federal tax bill would be about $700. That works out to be less than what I pay in income tax, so it looks like a deal to me.

Treating Twitter as a trusted source is like treating the town square as a trusted source. Treating individual people with a proven track record who happen to be on Twitter (or in the town square) as a trusted source is far more reasonable.
The important difference is that society doesn't need pensioners to work (in fact, retiring to free up jobs for younger people is often considered desirable), so the main concern around UBI, which is that it discourages people from working, does not apply.

In fact, the AOW age has been increased from the age of 65 (eventually it will be increased to 67) to ensure the ratio of working population to retired workers is large enough to keep the system sustainable. Even covering just two extra years was considered too expensive. Obviously extending the system by another 47 years would be a huge challenge.
Rive 2 Closed Beta
Where does that money come from?

The US population has 199M adults[1]. Let's say a decent basic income is $40k. That's 8 Trillion that the government has to find every year.

The US federal tax revenue was of 3.86 Trillion last year[2]. Half of which comes from individual income, and another third from payroll taxes. This is before the effects that UBI will have on the economy.

Maybe my 10 minute research is wrong? It seems like a quite central piece to address in an article promoting UBI.

Regardless. If he is not capable of guaranteeing this, then clearly Amazon is too big and complex to follow the law.
If a person is incapable of following the law by controlling their own actions, we put them in a psychiatric asylum.
If a corporation is incapable of following the law by controlling their own actions, what should be done with them?
Clearly it would be unjust to let them continue. It's already bad enough that corporations have the same rights as people, they shouldn't be exempt from having to face the consequences of their transgressions because that would put their rights above people.

There are very strong ethical and economic grounds for breaking up these corporations.
It merely comes down to the law. It really doesn't make sense that corporations are allowed to keep breaking the law and only get fined whereas if people keep breaking the law, they go to jail.

If people were treated the same as corporations and we abolished prisons, people would form mafias and go on rampages, hunt down billionaires, seize all their assets, then use the assets that they stole to pay the fines... Clearly that doesn't make any sense, it would be total anarchy; and yet this is exactly what we allow corporations to do.

Yes, in the economic sense of productivity, it is. Your high income = high rent is the same statement as what I’m saying.

The mechanisms are the same, though. Amazon putting HQ2 in a city causes rent to go up (higher productivity).

A coal mine developing a new, more efficient train to move coal around will also cause rent to go up (higher productivity).
Jeff Bezos probably also can't promise they won't use startups AWS usage to find out as much as they can about their business in an M&A or just competitive analysis scenario.

Not just tl;dr but as a pyramid.

In US schoolsg english classes teach writing as an inverted pyramid where you give details (pyramid base) and end with a conclusion (pyramid point). In contrast, technical writing and journalism teach an inverted pyramid where you start with the conclusion (point) and fill out the details (base).

Think of The Atlantic long form articles contrasted with traditional newspaper frontpage stories. The Atlantic is telling a story to build context before getting to what you wait. A newspaper article tells you who was murdered with what and where and then builds up more context.
The browser is very accessible and understandable as an environment as compared to different kinds of desktop environments that exist. Sometimes having an imperfect thing which exists is better than a non-existent perfect thing. Sure, a web application will never be as snappier as a native application, but it can be built, deployed and maintained by a much smaller team than what would be required for supporting desktop applications for multiple environments. If it feels 'good enough' to the users, they won't care.

He's not being politically correct about it. He just doesn't agree that people should assume a person from a country follows that country's culture in every way (or even in many ways).

If there's other evidence that said person follows such a management style or management culture, fine, but being from somewhere isn't enough. Culture isn't immutable or genetic. It's something we choose and reinforce or reevaluate and deemphasize daily.

Straightforward answer: It would make the value prop worse because the prices would go up.

Companies can go ahead and pay more to keep them. You know what happens then? Prices go up more.

Where is all this capital flowing to? Landlords. Who didn’t pay for UBI, didn’t build the infrastructure, didn’t employ those people.
BTW, regarding "standing" in this gravity field...

If there were a structure to stand on, rather than you being in orbit, the force of gravity would be about 160 billion times the force of gravity on Earth (~1,594,000,000,000 m/s^2).

That's for a 10,000,000 Earth mass black hole at 50 km.
I think the greater sin by far was orienting domain names the way that they are:

> People will receive UBI, but then other things, like rent, food, etc. will all just magically get more expensive.

In the same way that you declined a promotion because everything would magically got more expensive.

If things simply shift, then there is no reason to expect any of these to change and we might as well implement UBI right now, because it doesn't hurt, right?
If you are middle class now, then for you nothing changes except that your salary might include a line -$1000 salary decrease +$1000 UBI (no, if basic income were enough to retire, you would have retired already).
Things change for low wage jobs, where your employer now represents a share of your income, not all of it, and you can negotiate without fearing of being hungry on the street.
Business ID theft soars amid Covid closures
I vaguely think that the lesson is not that complex behaviours can emerge from simple rules, but that some behaviours aren't as complex as they seem. There's a sense in which those beehives are actually very simple, but we don't see them that way.

They're not complex in a Kolmogorov sense, for sure.

What's more of a mystery to me is what metric we instinctively use for complexity.

That's funny, we have similar words to firm ("jędrny"/"sprężysty"/"elastyczny"), but they aren't on the soft-hard scale, they are independent property.

I wouldn't guess that firm is between hard and soft in English.
If there's anything to "apologize" for with URLs, it would be the use of the ampersand character for separating query parameters, as these are interpreted as SGML ERO (entity reference open) character in SGML default concrete syntax, making SGML parsers see an entity reference in links such as http://bla.bla/doc?param=value&otherparam=othervalue. XML doesn't help here as it rejects the whole string as attribute value. This is also IMHO an oversight in the XML and WebSGML specs (the latter allowing to circumvent the issue via so-called data attributes).
That's not a fact. This is an interesting take on the "laws" of a classical economy[1].

The comic is the posted article.
But by the same token not everyone fits into or abides by the dominant culture around them. There surely are black Americans who don't know what fatback is. The very nature of groups is that on average they are different and they always have a significant number of outliers.

Culture is real and there are differences between them but they also are chosen each and every day, and you can never tell someone's values just by looking at them.
Oh wow, that is just evil.
100% - if you look at the landscape now, everything digital is still pretty much new and not working ("Das Internet ist für uns Neuland" in 2013).

Broadband is worse than in other countries, government interaction is pretty much non-digital and other things (there recently was a big thread about a government game development grant that was so startup-adverse that the person telling the story was lucky to not have been bankrupted) and it goes on and on. Also remember all the pixelated houses in Google maps? I wanted to look something up yesterday, image was made in 2008 and everything is pixelated.

Despite working in tech I don't see Germany in any sort of leading role in anything digital or IT and this won't change.
You have to understand that a sufficiently high UBI is very expensive. It either costs trillions of dollars or will be so low that poor people may be worse off than now due to lack of other welfare. Realistically affordable UBIs would amount to less that what jobless people get on social welfare, e.g. around 200-300 EUR in my country. I've seen the figures, and those were the ones of proponents of UBI. Do your own calculations and you will see what I mean.

If you want to help poor people, start with radically capping and reducing rents per m^2 everywhere. And by "radically" I mean radically, not just halving them. That's one of the biggest problems in almost every country and it will get worse and worse if current trends continue.
Should be technically possible, though I don't know how strictly they map to/from each other.

Nothing, because UBI+salary = previous salary. So everyone's part of income available for paying rent is the same.

Only difference is that the guy who earns $2500 right now might be able to get a better job because he can quit without immediately losing his apartment.
