"Right now, 8% of Federal Revenue pays just the interest on that debt. If interest rates go up, say in a year or two.. so goes up that payment."

Canada has a fiat currency. Thus the Canadian government can set the interest rate on federal debt to zero.

Permanent ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) is probably a better policy since it reduces the compounding of debt and the tendency for the rentier class to take over more of the economy

Got a kid in kinder to this very day it's only 3 hours...
Some goods are virtually in infinite supply in Western World societies. Basic
food, cloths, healthcare (most of Europe AFAIK, not the USA, by choice), even cars and housing. It could make sense to give them for free or give the amount of money that buys them.

However if one wants that kind of food which very few farmers produce and very few chefs cook, or that car that is made in 100 units, or that house on that hill (1 unit) then it's inevitable that you must pay a lot. This means you have to find a way to get a lot of money. UBI won't buy special things and special lifes. It's work as we know it that does.

So, I don't see problems with UBI. If you want to be Musk or Bezos you will (very few persons anyway), if you care only about drinking beer you will (a lot of people) and work to gain some extra for the occasional special thing.

The problem is where all that money comes from. Countries are printing money now and nobody cares anymore. Is it possible to keep doing that for 100 years if everybody agrees?

Interesting. So what holds the state in a workflow orchestrator? In your example what if user never clicks? Or if a server is rebooted?
Is the state persisted to disk and then garbage collected after after a certain threshold?
Another crackpot idea:

Instead of a catapult or a flying battery pack, go for a tethered launch. The plane taxis onto a platform that is actually a powerful "cable laying UAV" with powerful ducted fans for propulsion and some lift and two big powered spools of copper as heavy as it can carry. The platform arrests the plane's main undercarriage, connects power lines to the plane and raises itself on its own set of wheels. They accelerate together, leave the ground together, all while the powered spools are unrolling the wires to the ground station exactly as fast as needed to avoid mechanical drag (the wires are effectively in free-fall, perhaps issues with the cable landing could be evaded by sending up a chain of "cable carrying (T)UAVs" that take the role of virtual poles). In time before the spools run out, the platform disconnects from the plane slows down the spools so that the inertia and main motors of the platform start pulling on the wires, then reels itself back in while it maneuvers to a point above the base station, finishing the circle with a tail-landing followed by dropping into "platform" position controlled by its secondary fans. Meanwhile, the plane flies of into the sunset on a fresh set of batteries.

But the battery tender UAV actually sounds far more practical, I guess I just like ideas involving tethered UAV.

(and somehow I feel almost entitled do spew out the most improbable ideas, since seeing footage of the successful dual suicide burns of the Falcon Heavy boosters - if that's possible, why isn't everything else as well?)
>I don't want a black box in my car of any type, even if I already qualify for the best possible insurance rates

This seems like an odd statement to me. Of course you don't want a monitor, if you qualify for the best rates. The people who will go along with it are those currently paying the highest rates.
People aren’t staying home, so it seems like that didn’t work.

They could've put a variable-sized bladder in the tank, and measured the internal pressure.

Right?
so many comments arguing about what everyone in aggregate is morally obligated to abstain from or morally permitted to partake in. meanwhile the article itself is just about what people end up doing. "the government closed the gyms. lots of people want to exercise together and/or with expensive bulky equipment so they make illegal gyms." no amount of ethics lawyering is going to change this

honestly I think the phased reopenings are partly to blame, once you say "this is important enough, that isn't" everyone wants to do their things and disparage other people's things. if they closed the gyms here again, I'd find an illegal one. if they closed the restaurants, or the churches, or the schools, I wouldn't care. but for the people who derive existential fulfillment from their religion, or can't tolerate taking care of their children 24/7, or [insert reason why people care about restaurants, I honestly don't understand the upside anymore], my desire to go to my gym is selfish and wrong but their need for their thing is inherently good and right

not to mention the fact that most of the country isn't locked down, and there's no internal borders, and most people didn't take lockdowns seriously after the first month or two of kumbaya we're all in this together stuff anyway. so your individual actions wouldn't even move the needle. there's a continuum between the hypervigilent closed societies where one person gets it and they shut down the city, and the endemic countries where it's already everywhere anyway so the best you can do is mitigate risk to a tolerable level and go on with your life. new zealand, south korea, taiwan vs. mexico, india, brazil. we're with india and brazil

and I don't think it could have gone any other way. americans are suspicious and callous toward their countrymen and deathly allergic to being told what to do. for better or worse, it's just in our blood. gotta make the best of it
Sure it does! We just need sufficiently granular permissions for all of this stuff. “Do you want to give ClipboardManager access to your clipboard?” Yes. “Do you want to give TikTok access to your clipboard?” No. I agree that clicking a million permission boxes is annoying but ideally it should only be something needed for apps that don’t fit the media consumption model.

The real problem is that the desktop security model is outdated - it was designed for a world where software developers are trusted by default and users need to protect their data from each other. Today we can’t trust that developers will respect my data. I mean, the fact that any application I run or any npm module I transitively install could upload or delete any of my personal documents is insane. We absolutely need to preserve my ability to run software I write, and run screencast software, file servers, etc. But permission to read my data should not be given by default to any software I happen to run. The Epic thing makes me nervous but generally I think Apple’s direction here is the right one.
In what sense is CFR meaningful? What can you do with that number? There is little consistency between countries in testing rates or the criteria of what counts as a "case".
I imagine this is mostly for retail businesses, airbnb, etc. In which case, the technical details don't really matter -- if it works, then it just needs to look good, and that's the end of it.

But anyways for HN purposes, the hints are there -- WiFi Easy Connect Protocol exists as a standard; NFC requirement specified in the text;

It's a wooden wrapper around an NFC sticker that's being set to include the details necessary for WiFi Easy Connect to ... connect to your wifi.

Technically, I don't think this is notable at all really. The fact that its possible, and the imagination of having a simple block to slap your phone against when you enter a random shop/restaurant, are the main notable aspects.

Sitewise, it's ugly with no real color scheme, stupidly large spacing and gaps, and doesn't seem to be well tested (can't scroll the example images on mobile, they're entirely missing on desktop)

But content wise, this is pretty much ideal from an HN complaint perspective -- it's extremely clear about what they're selling you -- the only thing missing is that there's no pricing information on the front-page, for what I imagine is a single-price object

edit: Actually this site is pretty annoyingly broken, with clear bugs all over the place. And for god knows what reason, the chosen font (non-changeable?) is some kind of abomination of comic sans? The Peach Pit font on the front page is clearly cleaner and more professional -- why not just keep using that? For what was a pretty reasonably simple and pretty neat little product, the site has really turned me off of it.
> Apple claims that the process is extremely tolerant…so does it try to accept everything but blatant malware?

From what I understand, the most common use case here is to match against known malware inserted into an otherwise normal release, either from an infected dev machine or by way of an attacker coopting stolen credentials. It's not going to guard against truly novel malware for obvious reasons, but the vast majority of malware is a repackaging of stuff that's already out there.

> As much as we all like to call out Apple sometimes for how they don't take good care of their developers, adding hoops for your developers to jump through is not a great idea.

Why not?

Apple has been pushing very hard lately to increase their 'services' revenue, by getting users to sign up for Apple Music, iCloud, etc. It makes perfect sense for Apple to force developers to jump through hoops, not because it makes the developers' lives worse, but because it gives Apple a leg up! Some examples:

• When launching Chrome for the first time, you have to opt-in to Chrome notifications, but macOS pops up its own notification telling you to use Safari instead.

• Similarly, Apple News notifications are allowed by default, but you have to explicitly opt-in to notifications from other news websites.

• Again, similarly, you'll get Apple Music adverts through push notifications, something that's explicitly disallowed in the App Store guidelines.

• System Preferences gets an obnoxious (1) badge next to it, because I haven't signed in to iCloud.

I use SyncThing, rather than iCloud Drive. It definitely benefits Apple to waste the SyncThing developers' time and money keeping up with things the iCloud Drive team doesn't need to deal with — do you really think the sort of company that pulls shit like the above would do anything different?
That's the thing. Not very expensive to also give money to the rich, and also there are extenuating circumstances. I know multiple people who had no jobs and no savings yet didn't qualify for covid checks from the US because they had high paying jobs in 2018.

If you just pay everyone, wealth still disproportionately moves towards the poor.
Oh come on. How is just wearing a mask or working out at home during a global pandemic that's literally killing millions "sacrificing a lot of my freedom". You're selfish, and kids in history classes are going to look back on people like you forever and question why people were so selfish and stupid.
How is it "intentionally misleading"?
When someone else's house is actually on fire, it IS in your best interest to help them put it out. Two good reasons: a) so the fire doesn't spread to your house, and b) so all the other people in the neighborhood will help you if your house does catch on fire.

Now, I'm presuming you're an American here, so the blame is pretty clearly on the one fire chief who swears the house isn't on fire at all. Maybe just a little spark that'll put itself out any day now. THAT is why you have to keep running those cups of water out there.

(Also, comparing a viral pandemic to "somebody else's problem" is a little naive, unless you are very sure that you and your loved ones somehow have a solid immunity to this novel virus and that it won't ever affect you.)
> You make fun of the educational structure, but it's base structure can clearly succeed if given the right support from the family and the correct budget.

I did not mean to make fun of the structure itself so much as point out it's failings in our current environment, as you pointed out, Japan does it well, if a bit stressfully.

> I understand that bashing all things American has become en vogue

This was not my intent, I'm sorry if it came across that way.

> things have just become corrupted due to lack of proper maintenance, really.

I would argue that it's not just a lack of maintanence. There are a number of people who actively work against correct education because "That's not how we do it". I think you summed it up well with

> We've forgotten how to keep our eye on the prize, as it were, and lost focus on what the goal actually is.

Edit: Having read the other comment, it sounds like Japan has issues as well. I still believe this model could be successful, but it would appear it's hard to get right.
software security 101: if there is an "accept the obvious risk" button, the user WILL DEFINITELY CLICK IT. No matter how clear you make the danger, they always choose potential malware instead of inconvenience. It's better hide because, otherwise that button would be the center of any social engineering attack
Let me get this straight, the starting point is taxed like this, assuming the average wage in UK which seems to be 35k for a full-time job (https://www.findcourses.co.uk/inspiration/articles/average-s...)

35k makes net 12k (not taxed) + 18.4k (at 20% tax rate) = 30.4k net

In the conclusion, everyone gets a "UBI" of 666 per month, which basically doesn't even cover rent (https://www.statista.com/statistics/752203/average-cost-of-r...). If they would follow this German test, it would need to rise to 1100 pounds per month.

So in this scenario, that average full-time employee pays 48% flat tax on income:

35k taxed at 48% = 18.2k net, plus the 8k UBI leaves this average full-time employee at 26.2k. That is 4.2K less than before.

Looking at that graph at the end, I think there is some "creative graph-plotting" going on, unless I'm seriously mistaken in my calculation.

So how can this be the ideal calculation? The graph and conclusion seems to be in complete error. And even then, 8k per year barely seems like a 'basic income'.
I believe one of the main security benefits of these requirements are ensuring a binary hasn't been altered maliciously, or otherwise I guess. Not preventing outright malicious applications.

Also so the os doesn't have to repeatedly rescan apps, etc.
It could. But still, someone has to develop iOS itself. And someone has to write the server back-ends that all those apps depend on. And the cloud infrastructure that those back-ends run within.

By definition there will always be something out there that can't be developed on a locked-down platform. So there will always be an open platform, even if Apple decided one day (again, unlikely I think) to recuse themselves from that market.
State of charge tracking is tricky even for lithium ion batteries. I worked on it for a bit as part of a solar car competition. Usually it involves a mix of coulomb counting and voltage measurements. IIRC, a handful of laptops and consumer electronics have trained neural networks to assist in estimating SOC.

As far as aircraft goes, it's sufficient to put a lower bound on the remaining charge. Realistically, the poor (abysmal, really) energy density of batteries pretty much precludes their usage in any serious aircraft. For sustainable air flight I'm more optimistic about syngas or hydrogen.

Those people were under informed. Everybody "in the know" knew mid-March, before the lockdowns, that health officials wanted AT LEAST 8 weeks of shutdown to be able to have an impact and measure it.

The information was out there..
I'm not even sure if that is a dark pattern rather than just poor design. In the end, you're just going to frustrate users who think they are paying $50/night over 7 nights but when they divide their final price by 7 it is $100/night.
> First of all a rational actor will not intentionally pay a worker the value of their production; you get no profit.

The sum of the production of workers is not equal to the production of a business.

Otherwise, if a business increases revenues significantly by simply replacing its CEO, does it mean that the CEO contributes to the increased revenue all alone?
If you have a vulnerable app, it might modify another already approved app that is already installed, thus omitting the scary message about untrusted code before being run.
"will increase innovation by getting people out of bullshit jobs and enabling entrepreneurs to pay their bills until their companies are profitable."

I think that relies on a definition of "innovation" that is not proper.

What does "innovation" mean?

We already have restaurants. If you open another restaurant have you done anything innovative at all? Most likely not.

You're not going to develop the next generation of microchip in your basement. Multibillion dollar industrial plants are beyond the means of an individual who depends on UBI.

So what kind of new development are you likely to actually create?
More cases in one region that has gone into [alert level 3](https://covid19.govt.nz/covid-19/alert-system/alert-system-o...) and the rest of the country into level 2. With more cases currently being low double digits active cases (almost all of which are in managed isolation) with single digit new active cases per day which is dropping.

New cases were expected, and planned for. There is active investigation into how the virus got into the community, and efforts to improve the resurgence plan. New cases coming from elimination can't really be compared to "we have community spread, but the cases went down so we are going to open up again".

go for a run. you don't have to go to a gym. there are plenty of ways to exercise outside and if you choose not to do them during a pandemic and instead choose to put the lives of others at risk so you can be inside a building, you're a jerk
Even with power tools, sanding a large piece (eg, a bookshelf or a desk) can be a long, slow and dusty process.

(The first time I did a large project I just hit it quickly with some 120 grit sandpaper, and it was fine but as time goes on I spend more and more time using more and more grits of sandpaper, and that delicious smooth you get is almost addictive.)
I'd be shocked to find more than 1 in 1000 English speakers to interpret an couple arguing as anything other than

> Sure, but how many of those people would have died from the normal flu?

I’ve been comparing flu stats for Australia. 2019 a BAD flu season was over 400 deaths. A NORMAL season is roughly 150 deaths. I think 146 in 2018. 2020 has 36 deaths.

Melbourne deaths peaked at 25 for a single day. The current outbreak in VIC totally blows past the flu death rate for the entire country.

Total COVID deaths in Australia (450) already matches a bad flu season in a “locked down” environment and we still have 5 months to go for 2020.

Thankfully in Australia it’s possible to make mask wearing mandatory.
It absolutely is free capital, in the same way that a 0% interest bank loan would be free capital. You don't have to give any interest, any equity, or any collateral in case of failure. How much freer does capital get?

The people denying the pandemic (or calling it a "plandemic"), or refusing to wear masks because muh freedoms, or protesting lockdowns are going to be laughed at in history classes for decades. You are unbelievably ignorant, selfish and arrogant.
