I think you are overestimating the ease of people moving from one place to another. While job may be a primary reason people live in the cities, there are other important reasons like access to entertainment, shops, being close to other friends who leave nearby etc. It's not as simple as saying "oh, I could spare 500$ a month by moving in the middle of nowhere, let's do it". Not everybody wants to live in suburban/rural areas and spend most of his time at home.

I would suppose so. I would expect a lot more perturbation in the kuiper belt if a solar mass object was lurking out there.
Does that happen with any other product? Are other consumer products priced based on calculation of consumers' incomes, or are they priced based on demand and competition in the market? I think rent in high-COL cities is more determined by high demand there than landlords' personal assessment of the residents' average incomes. With UBI, people would be more free to move away from areas with high rent. There could be more free competition on housing/rent across the whole country, which might drive down rents.
Any large organization (that includes government organizations) is going to have some level of crime in it. "Guaranteeing" there isn't any hanky-panky going on somewhere in it is an absurd requirement.
Phrased another way: High productivity areas are high rent areas.

Do you dispute that?
And what would be so sad about there being a McDonald's? Or maybe you believe that most of the developing world should be conserved in an "authentic" state for your aesthetic and political benefit?

Because if that McDonald's exists in X place and is doing a brisk business, some not too small percentage of the local population is perceiving a benefit from it. Not to mention that, being a franchise business, it's benefiting some local entrepreneur, his/her family and all the people they benefit in the local economy through the restaurant and earnings they spend elsewhere.

Sure, let's not stuff western megabrand businesses into every nook and cranny of the world's cultural landscape, but to call the rise of modern market brands in developing countries "sad" is self serving and narrow-sighted at best.

emacs used to be my great enemy, until i met someone SO into emacs and elisp, in each of his dual monitor he had emacs opened. With the two instances sharing the cursor (unless it was one emacs opened in two windows, but i think this is way harder to code). He had no mouse and was surfing with emacs, reading/writing his mails from emacs, had a kanban on emacs... That force respect.

Now i tried evil mode and while i'm still using vim8, i might try to learn elisp during my sabbatic year.

> Tax rates on the rich are at historically low levels

Not really. The income tax didn't exist before 1913 and the government was way smaller so there wasn't a even need to collect a lot of taxes. Are you thinking of the 50s? Because even in that time people just avoided to declare all their income (it was easier back then) or used other loop holes to avoid paying taxes [1]

A bit of a plug, but micro has been a nice alternative. Mouse support is enabled by default, ctrl+c/v works as expected, you only need to remember ctrl+e for other commands, as it opens a prompt where you can just type save/quit/etc.

Not in the repo though, which can be a no deal for many.
But if people stop doing those miserable jobs, salaries will have to go up, which in turn will increase the price of goods and services, therefore creating inflation.

We're not ignoring the issue, we just don't think the issue is the same one you do.

The main issue in the world at the moment is income inequality, the things that you are listing stem from that, you can't fix education inequality without first addressing the income issue - UBI proposes that we tackle the source of the problem rather than trying to patch things up downstream

"Heavy metal" is not harder than "metal". "Heavy metal" has two meanings. The original meaning is hard rock with a special emphasis on distorted guitars and strong rhythms. "Metal" is an abbreviation of "heavy metal" in this sense.

But now "heavy metal" has an additional meaning: the traditional 1970s/1980s style of heavy metal, e.g. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest. "Heavy metal" in this sense is a sub-genre of "heavy metal" in the previous sense.

Most fans of "heavy metal" in the first sense abbreviate it to "metal", and use "heavy metal" specifically for the older style. With these meanings, "metal" includes extreme metal styles, e.g. death/black metal, so it's on average harder than "heavy metal".

The AOW is only one of two pillars in the Dutch pension system. The other one is a mandatory investment scheme.

The AOW is a baseline, to keep you from being homeless or starving to death or having to beg for money.

For your last question: there are also people who are content with whatever welfare they get now and don't even try to work to better their lives. Even though everyone could do this it seems almost no one does.
If that applied to the internet, then the first order of business would be to decouple ISPs, media distribution and content creation.

Unfortunately, ISPs can have a streaming television services that are exempt from data caps while customer access to netflix is capped.

That said, I think a lot of netflix shows do show up on DVD.

I saw a box for Stranger Things that was actually really cool -- the dvds were packaged in a giant VHS box. :)

We live in a planet. A planet that also has other countries.

The reason people in the first world can even produce the thought of wishing for less work is because all of the heavy lifting needed for them to exist was outsourced to third world countries.

The only reason you think you are so productive is because almost all your clothes, technology, medical supplies, house appliances and most of your food was produced outside the US by foreign workers; you had nothing to do with it. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR, YOUR SUPERIOR PRODUCTIVITY, OR ROBOTS.

The US is living off the back of illegal miners in the third world and it tells itself "yeah, we should do less!".

I am not making a point against automation, we clearly need more. But the world is so big and the people so numerous all the automation we have pales in comparison with the needs of us all. That is why the number of people working globally has increased, even with automation, not decreased.

I think I get it now. Basically in the current system you can chose between being on welfare OR working and not receiving welfare. In the UBI system everyone gets a base pay that gives you the option to live life at a minimum however you're not de-incentivized to work like in the welfare system where you have to chose between either working and losing all your welfare benefits or not working and living life on welfare. In the UBI system everyone gets a base pay, you can chose to improve your life standards by working but don't have to. Either way there is a redistribution of wealth from the ultra rich to the rest of society that gives them more buying power to in turn move the economy forward. Am I sort of getting it now?

> Jerry Yang came to American when he was 10 years old, around 4th grade

So ... his parents dropped their culture at the shoreline?

You know, there really are differences between cultures. That's thing. Italians, on average, really do tend to make better marinara. Find me a black person in America who doesn't know what fatback is (delicious component of certain Southern dishes, by the way). Convince me that the average white person does know what fatback is. Convince me that the average American knows what the Euro is (A night club? A style?).

If I said "I imagine Martin Luther may have liked beer and Weisswurst" is that racist?

> one of the parent comments is saying was "too nice"

Good point, yes, that's completely in line with the "work is next to Godliness" attitude I've observed. In that social norm, being nice is essentially the same as being grateful for the opportunity to take on more work. Nice = more opportunity to work. Now, there's also a bit of "forgive but remember" that goes with that. Those who need niceness all the time, maybe you don't hang out with them as much because you can only handle being so nice, you just can't take on more niceness, you're exhausted! May this dear friend share their opportunities to be nice to them a bit more with their other friends.

Thanks for the video. I still have no idea of the rules, but it was fun to watch nevertheless.
I don't think it mattered so much for print, but in the early days of the internet you would hear people on the TV laboriously reading out "haich tee tee pee colon slash slash double-u double-u double-u dot contoso dot com".

This is why a friend of mine has the email address "dot at dot at dot at". Yes, that's uniquely parseable back to one valid rfc822 address that works.

I have occasionally wondered about programming language syntax that might take reading aloud into account. Puncutation ends up sounding like Victor Borge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf_TDuhk3No and of course Python's indentation is very at risk of ambiguity.
I suspect that this is the sort of thing that can only be determined by running either a simulation or a pilot. This is too complex to be determined by logic or thought experiment.
Nope, we can do with money. Why do you think Swiss banks are so averse to open accounts for US persons? They don't want to be subject to US reporting rules. It gets harder with paper money

I agree fuel taxes are best. But the issue remains - how will you know that the manufacturer is buying taxed fuel (not black-market, untaxed oil, or untaxed oil that China is importing from Venezuela with a bilateral agreement)? Inspections.

It would be complicated, but the West (US + EU + the rest) are big and powerful enough to make it happen.
I think it's a good thing that salaries for miserable jobs go up.

Note that space in the sense of bytes is not mentioned in the article. Only user-visible things such as space on paper.
When an account calling itself "hn_check" posts a series of comments like these they're going to get downvotes across most of their comments:

"Every clown who repeated this and argued the unfairness of it, like rattray here -- delete your accounts."

"rattray is intentionally spreading hilariously dumb misinformation to make HN look like a bunch of stupid assholes."

"This place is a den of absolute idiots, time and time again. And when it is realized it goes to auto-dead time. Absolutely fucking embarrassing for anyone who is proud of their association with this shithole of stupidity."

It’s absolutely and definitionally socialist in nature, but I don’t find the use of labeling to be especially helpful (and often harmful to shutdown discussion).

I’m interested in whether something tends to create a society that I think should exist for my children and their great-grandchildren (whom I’ll surely never meet).

Most of those things happen to have market-based outcomes in mind, but I’m open to good ideas that happen to be socialist, anarchist, communist, or any other broad label.

You could just ask them? I recently donated to an OSS project for which the maintainer didn't publish any means of accepting donations - I simply asked and he sent his PayPal address.

Another option would be for maintainers to publish a Bitcoin address in their profile - but again, if not already present, just ask.
> Society must produce at least to feed itself

Of course.

We produce more per worker with every year as technology improves. It follows that we could do less work per person every year.

In case anyone else was confused why they didn't just project onto q first if they want to have <q,x'> as close as possible to the original <q,x>. Apparently q is a random query vector and their research shows how to define an alternative quantization loss where you weigh quantization loss more heavily when |<q,x>| is high [1].

It's worth noting that without this additional weighting you end up with the euclidean distance under the assumption that q is distributed symmetrically.

I was actually surprised that no one else posted excerpts from the Apple Developer Agreement[0]. There's millions of copies out there.

It clearly states that Apple is entitled to do what was originally tweeted, but, from a lot of anecdotal stories by developers that have actually processed refunds (I am not one. I have never processed a refund), Apple does not actually do this.

A few folks have pointed out that, even though the contract stipulates it, the practice may be considered illegal, or at least open to court challenges; which might be why it isn't enforced.

It's mentioned in the article indirectly: when you enable consumers to demand more, you increase competitive pressures amongst producers as well. Your landlord raises your rent by $1000? That's fine: you move to another town that's cheaper. Landlords are no longer competing within a town or city; now, they're competing with landlords every where else.
Bezos committed to doing [none of] those things only after Amazon was called out by the US Congress and the international press seems like an extremely important distinction.

I mean they were factually correct but that doesn't take away from the extremely toxic way they interact with the community. I think the comment deserves to be downvoted (although that doesn't change the overall point that accurate information wasn't bubbling up).

This is their bio:

"HN was created as an example of how to foment Dunning-Kruger among a community. Nowhere else will you find such a wonderful collection of imaginary "experts".
Today's outrage -- someone who is clearly wrong about how refunds on the App Store work, yet the overwhelming majority of HN are too profoundly stupid/ignorant/myopic to see the error and just run with it.

Top of the front page, thousands of comments...original guy retracts it. Hours later the story is still here and still getting comments from the idiot base.

I'd be embarrassed to be herding this collection of dumbshits."

That sort of approach to talking with HN is going to be downvoted. And I would argue deservedly so.
From what I can tell, exclusives generally seem to time out, and then wider distribution happens.

I'm uncertain if that is a general rule and what kinds of exceptions we see.

But I do find it annoying when a behemoth messes with classic stuff I grew up with. I didn't like "I, Robot" in full hollywood regalia, and I think apple might not be a good representative for Foundation. (both classic Asimov)
Nano is great. Too many linux installation or config editing guides recommend using vi, so I can see why that would put so many beginners off
I think the main difference with UBI is that in order to receive unemployment welfare you have to not work, they are de-incentivizing working essentially. In the UBI system everyone gets a minimum paycheck and that would basically be like living on welfare however if you want you can go work somewhere else in addition to earn more money and improve your living standards if you want to. Probably minimum wage would have to be raised so that people would want to work as a maid or McDonald's but the economy would adjust to the supply of workers I assume.

Today how that goes is you get huge tax cuts for not making money and keeping valuable resources off the market.

How that should go is you get taxed at the same rate as if you had set it at a price it could be rented at, therefore encouraging you to set your price correctly.

That’s the LVT, that’s basically the entire thing.
I think it really depends on the scenario:

# Scenario 1
You are using one device where all your apps are installed or you have permission to install anything you want. You will find this in smaller companies with BYOD policy.

# Scenario 2
You are using a lot of different devices and/or regularly have to work with a new device that is only setup with the basic applications. It is not possible or allowed to just install any app. You will find this in enterprise businesses with a lot of policies about devices and workflows.

For #1 a solid desktop app is probably preferable but for #2 (prerequisite is a stable and fast internet connection) you can start working immediately when all necessary apps and data is available online.

Also there could be web apps that benefit from a spreadsheet which is more than just a basic grid view.
I agree with inflation but not because the salary raise, but because with UBI the people purchasing power is theoretically higher so companies will just raise prices.

IMO I don't believe those people doing miserable jobs with low pays take a significant part of wage expenses, related to higher managements. If there are data about proportion of the wage we'll get more information.
So you're saying that it's hypothetically everyone then? I say hypothetically because the U.S. is only partially a free market (i.e., not a free market), and so that makes any appeal to the "free market" hold little water.

>I just don't understand how this is possible

I use nano as my daily driver, and here is how:

- I have a nanorc I copy around but am quite comfortable without. Here it is. You can use it under WTFPL-1. Feel free to fork it, but I'm not accepting pull requests.

set multibuffer
set nohelp
# Defaults for older versions
set nowrap
set smooth
set morespace
unset boldtext

- I use ^K and ^U to cut and paste lines of text.

- If I need to edit multiple files, I use ^R

- If I need to find and/or replace, I use ^W (find), optionally with ^R (replace) and/or M-R (Regexp).

- Sometimes I need to go to a specific line/col, so I use ^_

Basically there's nothing else I want my text editor to do. I want minimal magic.
For config file editing, nano is great.

Vim's 'return me to the last location in this file'[0], however, is great when repeatedly editing large config files in this same place.

Nano should try to implement it, if it hasn't already.

Then use your imagination and apply the hypothetical argument to other things. Another good modern example is the car. Imagine that you have $1800 in your bank account, you earn 8$/hr and your credit history is shot.
