1. power divide

How is this different than welfare, except that with UBI people are able to get a job without fear of losing benefits?

2. predators

Again, how does UBI makes this problem worse than it already is? I've never heard of _any_ idea which makes this problem disappear.

3. charity

In my opinion this is actually an argument in favor of UBI, rather than against it. Maybe the charity mindset would change, but I don't see it completely going away. On the other hand, many excuses will. We would benefit from a system that gives people a better chance at demonstrating personal responsibility.

Home fans in European football and in South America are notoriously hostile, I've played in front of 3k crowd and its difficult, the professionals are obviously much stronger mentally but I can't imagine 70k crowd in derby match hating you. Americans sports fans are more like going to Disneyland compared to it.
The table is somewhat misleading. The filesystem support for example refers to being able to boot a kernel that is on that FS from disk.

In most gummiboot setups, your kernel will be on the ESP partition along with everything else, so it doesn't matter what FS the root is.

The lack of support for MBR or BIOS doesn't matter much either, systemd-boot requires a 64bit System and most 64-bit systems that are still around and largely used (or actively sold) have a UEFI that supports GPT. If you absolutely need to, systemd-boot supports booting from a GPT that has a MBR wrapper.

So while the table looks like systemd-boot lacks support for a lot of things, the reality is that when you setup systemd-boot a lot of these columns simply don't matter

I just don't understand how this is possible, except if you're doing very basic edits (even in that case...)
This looks like a really great effort, better than other canvas spreadsheets I have seen. Great work!
This is not a new era. Tooling is new indeed which makes it tremendously faster and available. On the bright side, you can also get facts back rather quickly like this.

I've moved from Australia (no rent control, laws heavily biased towards property owners) to Berlin (renter's paradise).

Renting property definitely should be treated as a business, done by companies, and heavily controlled by regulation to favour the tenants. This is how it's done in Berlin, and it works really well.

Treating property as an investment vehicle is actively harming society.
In my country everyone who is older than 65 (or so) gets AOW, a state pension. Which is €1200 per month.

There are no conditions except for having lived (not worked) in the country for at least 40 years of the 65.

This is basically UBI for elderly and it has been in place since the 1960s.

None of the (theoretical) issues you named have been a problem.

Do some elderly spend all their AOW on a slot machine as soon as it comes in? Sure.

Do some people try to scam elderly because all elderly get AOW? Sure.

But overall the program has resulted in <3% of all elderly living below the poverty line. In other countries without this, such as Germany, you can find older people still having to work well into their 70s to get by.

I always install Windows to a different disk, so yes, Windows will try to recover partitions on other disks, especially when it finds multiple ESPs and the windows one isn't the active one (upon which it sometimes tries to install it's bootloader there, looks if that disk has the windows partition on it and confirms that yes, windows is installed on that disk because it has a windows-like ESP that it just installed, so it goes for a repair)
> they'll depend on some powerful centralized instance providing them money

You just described most jobs. The difference is that UBI would be something like a right, as opposed to jobs where you can be cutoff from your livelihood at a moment's notice.

> instead of earning their own via providing goods to the market (e.g. services)

We need to get over this Smithian vision of everyone being their own little entrepreneur. You'll see the job 'market' acts very little like a utility maximizing market when you get into the details. For example, see the endless posts on this site about 'culture fits' and ritualistic hazings posing as interviews.
There's no conspiracy theory. It's historical record the lengths this country has gone to disenfranchise votes: 3/5ths personhood, poll taxes, literacy tests, multiple hour-long queues, shuttering most poll stations for large populations, warehouses left full of voting machines, and, seriously, just go look at Dan Crenshaw's district. You don't have to "stop mailin voting," you just have to make it unreliable and burdensome.

There's no conspiracy here, it's out in the public for all to see.
If you give every resident a nice check every month (the universal basic income) and have open borders, your country will soon be overcrowded with immigrants. And if you give the universal basic income to citizens only,

It's called a "carbon fee & dividend" and an increasing number of people are advocating it.
(https://clcouncil.org/economists-statement/)

It's nowhere near enough to fund a UBI that most people could live on without additional assistance, but that's no reason not to do it. It just means you need to fund your UBI with other sources of revenue too. Really, I think the GP used the wrong word when they called the dividend a "UBI".

And it _really_ is the best policy. Even if it did nothing to reduce emissions, it's a matter of justice. I won't tell you that you can't fly across the country every single weekend or emit a gigaton of carbon mining bitcoin but, if you do, you _really_ should reimburse me and my 2-year-old daughter for the harm you're doing to our futures. Likewise, when I heat my ridiculous suburban mansion to 80F through the New York winter, I'm harming you and your children, so I should reimburse you.

But it WILL have a great effect on emissions (if ever implemented). Probably more than any other policy we might enact.

Some of the comments around here complain about how regressive a carbon tax is. But in fact it is only regressive when not combined with the dividend. The price of a poor person's carbon footprint as a fraction of their income or wealth IS larger than that of a wealthier person. But the fact is that most poor and urban working class people's dividends will be greater than the carbon fee they pay, while people who have giant houses, travel by air a lot, etc will pay more in fees than they receive in dividends.

This page (https://citizensclimatelobby.org/household-impact-study/) has a nice chart showing the fees and where they come from for an average household in each income quintile in the USA. The expected fees for each quintile (under a $15/ton carbon fee) are $173, $219, $252, $292, $381. On another page on the same site, you can find that the expected dividend (which just depends on the number of adults/children in the household) is $288.

Lastly, this policy is currently a bill in the US House of Representatives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Innovation_and_Carbon_D...) and is currently "sponsored" (whatever that means) by 18% of the house. Sadly almost all democrats. I think the policy saw more republican support during the few years before the current administration, but I can't find the data too easily at this moment.

This bill and past ones like it include a schedule for the price of emissions to start low and increase over the next several decades. The tax itself is to be collected at mines, ports, and oil refineries, where fossil fuels first enter the economy. Regular people will only see it in the form of initially-very-small increases in the price of goods and services. And they'll get their dividend check or direct deposit every month. I don't think I know anyone who wouldn't love getting that check in the mail.

Thanks for that constructive response (although I'm not convinced, they were useful counterpoints). To be fair, I'm also sceptical of the publication and would prefer other sources - but these issues of free speech (and in particular Big Tech's alleged suppression of conservative outlets) don't get covered in the mainstream - until they are forced onto the agenda like with the recent open letter.

Of course, that may be because the alleged suppression of organisations doesn't happen - but there have been enough reports of it on the edges that warrant at least counter-arguments from impartial experts in more mainstream outlets; and the lack of those in the current undeniable culture of suppression of individual voices ("cancel culture") contributes to the feeling of some of us that something deeply worrying is happening.
I don't see upvotes as being a form of agreement. I often upvotes things I have no knowledge about and sometimes even things I don't agree with that I think would be interesting to hear more about from the HN community.

It an interesting topic for many HNers and such seems appropriate that it'll get on to the front page.

That being said, downvoting dissenting comments in the thread are extremely problematic. And is a common theme in HN. Which I think stems from the implicit assumption by many people that upvoting a comment or item means agreeing with it.
If you would’ve read comments in this post thorough, you would’ve found it most likely has to do with the payment providers and not apple itself, as there’s nothing apple can do in that case (other than pay the difference from their own pocket, but they have no legal requirement to do that). Thus it’s not random.
How about providing the basics for life such as

- Government provided housing

- Government provided meals. This can be in the form of communal kitchens much like British Kitchens [1]. This can then be used to ensure that everyone gets fed, that it is nutritionally sound and that it uses home grown produce. That way, it in effect subsidises farmers which means we can remove farm subsidies at the same time.

- Free public transport. Make all buses and trains free to use for everyone. This will help to reduce reliance upon cars and ensure that everyone can get around, so that it is possible to get to work.

UBI sounds wonderful, but it seems to be more of a subsidy to landlords, and those who are involved in selling. It would potentially provide for everyone but we'll then have the same problem as now where some children are going hungry [2] because there is no way to make sure that they are being fed. Without subsidised public transport, you have to use some of your UBI to get to work before you get your first pay cheque. This is a disincentive, as you are effectively investing up front for a future payout when you can just keep the money and enjoy it now.

What? No. They were asking if there were basically access controls in place and he just said there are policies.
Tax rates on the rich are at historically low levels. Rich people would still get UBI but the top level tax rate would effectively cancel it out (and more). Current welfare wastes a lot of money on admin/staff/fraud investigations and none of that would be needed with UBI since everyone gets it.

People would still want money. UBI isn't going to be enough for a lavish lifestyle, people will still want to work. It would make lower-paying activities like art/open source more viable though.
What is the high protein, low carb diet?
Somewhere like SF, a land value tax would simply be another incentive to developers / landlords to build more units. The problem is not caused by a lack of incentives, as evidenced by the sky-high rents - landlords already have huge incentives to build more houses. Why aren't they? I would have to guess, restrictive planning laws are limiting the supply of new housing.

Rents do not eat up all income increases. Otherwise rents would be 90+% of incomes and all income increases (minimum wage increases, widespread pay rises, social security payments, etc etc) would be pointless.
> Also with all the negative press about App Store policies lately, it didn't seem too far fetched...

It seems so easy to spread misinformation with this way of thinking going on. My point is not to blame you, I just wanted to point out that as long as we accept believable data as true, we’ll see believable misinformation on top of HN.
UBI seems to be socialism in disguise. Redistribution of wealth from the ultra rich to the poor by adding additional taxes on robots, carbon, etc. in order to create a more balanced society where the poor have better living standards and more expendable income to fuel the economy. Am I missing something?
I genuinely think that adding `:` as a hash separator was a mistake. Apart from anything else, you get this weird effect where the type of the key in `{"foo": bar}` isn't what you think it is.
I’m pretty sure the downvotes are from shouting and calling people gullible.
It doesn't. UBI is socialism.
It doesn't do typechecks, no. You can use solargraph (https://github.com/castwide/solargraph) for that.
A key point, Like in the well off middle class people can get subsidies for solar panels, but a single parent who buys her electricity via a prepayment meter pays more per KwH.
Dammit Emacs!
It's the standard of how my brain operates.
The incentive for people to work is that $1000/mo would provide for a pretty meager existence. (This level is already an unaffordable level of UBI if paid to every US adult citizen; this is coming from someone philosophically aligned with UBI but also able to multiply and compare numbers.)

It seems at the moment anyway that the poster's most downvoted comments are the ones where he calls people dumb and uses a less than civil tone.
By this logic why the current rents are not even higher? Why do people still have any money left for iphones, netflix etc.? Why is it not all taken up by rent?
I would imagine that in most cases there is the opportunity to move from one group to the other.
It sure wouldn't be perfect, but I don't think that's enough reason not to do it.

Hopefully, if we import a lot of steal from a country, our border adjustment would be incentive enough for that country to adopt for themselves this very sensible fee & dividend system, after which each steel maker would actually be taxed the appropriate amount.
The reason is that as programmers we're highly dependent on the technical choices made by the masses.
>> they'll depend on some powerful centralized instance providing them money

>You just described most jobs.

No. Now you depend on a lot of semi-powerful un-centralized instances, and not just one point of failure. And you can pick your poison according to your tolerance. It is not perfect, but it does not leave you at the mercy of one and only one entity without any recourse.

This is like Google banning you on gmail, and hence adsense and youtube, or Paypal or Visa banning you on their payment network, only a million times worse.

Top ten best uses of GPT-3
GPT-3 is making quite a buzz nowadays. It's like a jack of all trades performing multiple tasks with great accuracy. It can make react apps, generate SQL queries ,write blogs and articles, design websites and even make machine learning models.

Here's presenting a list of some awesome items made from GPT-3

https://dev.to/amananandrai/top-10-best-uses-of-gpt-3-175n
> How does UBI differentiate itself from socialism, a welfare state and/or communism?

From welfare state: By giving it unconditionally.

From socialism/communism: You're still allowed to own "means of production", and you're also still allowed to try to maximize profits etc. as a company. Private property, especially owning a business privately, is still a thing.

> What incentive would there be for people to work?

You work because you want to lead a somewhat nice life, where you're able to afford things. UBI (at least the more serious proposals) would cover just the very basics: You'll be able to afford a roof over your head, food and other such basics. Want to afford some nice things? Need to work.

And this is in my opinion the beauty of UBI. Doing a crappy job until the end of my life for a crappy salary that doesn't get me anywhere? No way. Doing a crappy job for a while until I've saved up enough cash to afford something I want? Why not. It incentivizes to make crappy jobs that nobody wants (unless they must) more attractive; accelerating their automatization (see e.g. the garbage truck examples in this thread - people running behind it vs. having an automated crane to do it); giving power to those who currently have no option than to work whatever they're given, no matter how much they dislike it.
Any links to the origin of these movements? Personally it seems a very bizarre strategy to use independence to bargain (it will for sure provoke rather than evoking 'decency'). Any chinese would agree I think. I lived in Ireland for nearly a decade and the wounds of the Trouble never heal between the very Irish people. And Ireland is way more democratic and tolerant than China.
> What is really amusing in hindsight was the number of people willing to pile on and argue that this was in fact totally reasonable of Apple to be doing and that we shouldn't be surprised or upset at all about it.

Exactly, while I had doubts about this accusation on Apple, I was surprised about how many people were okay with it. These people (defenders of Apple) vote, but they're not even likely to be Billionaires (it's not wrong to be a Billionaire if you play fair). Why do they defend such an awful practice if it actually happened and wasn't fake news?
> For example, as a free Excel alternative, I fall back to Gnumeric (http://www.gnumeric.org/) from time to time.

Gnumeric is useful, but its GUI is very laggy (more laggy than LibreOffice Calc). Sadly, there NO fast & usable Qt-based alternative to Excell for Linux yet.

As lightweight spreadsheet app for Linux I use Qt-based mtCellEdit[0], which does not support .xls/.xlsx formats & could not fully replace Excell too.

Except that we do have approximate data that can give us hints at whether this works out or not: the differences in unemployment safety nets between countries, as well as how strong their minimum wage laws are (and other appropriate laws that are supposed to protect employees).
At least in my case, I use nano typically for very simple edits, such as config files, fstab, etc. While I can use vim, I never “really” adopted it and get especially confused by the old “vi”.

As such, I almost always just grabs nano for these things, and use an IDE when working on code.

I disagree with this (tho I acknowledge the dissent points and I'm one of those who moans occasionally - with the corresponding downvote hit about unreasonable downvoting). I've also never (yet) downvoted anybody despite severe provocation :)

I think some limits on downvoting might be useful (some of which might already be in place, I can't remember).

e.g.
You can't downvote replies to your comment. (Already in place).

A limit to downvotes to a particular comment. (I thought this was in place but can't find a reference)

Time limit on downvotes. (I think this is already in place).

X downvotes use up Y karma.

I would also like a guideline that you should only upvote or downvote based on the quality of the comment rather than whether you don't like what you think of the commenter...
