This is why, if you live in the UK, you'll have noticed that sometimes there's a much cheaper ticket available to you that specifically requires you to travel via some particular station (or e.g. "VIA LONDON" / "NOT VIA LONDON").

The Rail Settlement Plan will assign all the revenue for that ticket to the company that operates the trains you would need to take to perform that journey via the route described. Whereas even if that's the obvious way to make your journey, if any other operator could have got you there via a route in the big book of acceptable routes (roughly anything that doesn't involve going back on yourself or taking an obvious diversion but the book makes this specific rather than a judgement call) then RSP would give them some fraction of the money for your ticket, just in case you took that option.

For an operator getting 100% of a £40 ticket is clearly preferable to getting 50% of a £60 ticket and perhaps strategically better than getting 80% of a £50 ticket for which a rival gets £10 despite not actually doing anything.

Of course this doesn't actually serve passengers in any way, so it's at best an unhelpful inefficiency of privatisation and at worst one more example of how it is wasteful and made things worse. A single National Rail operator had no need of such complexities.
Does your country suffer from unusually high employment in full time positions or why are you worried about debt? Debt is a way to make people work today for a future reward.

If people don't work they lose their productive output irrevocably and can lead to a cycle of poverty. The damage caused by unemployment is far worse than any damage caused by debt because debt can be reversed easily once you have mild inflation around 2-3%. Just the effects of inflation alone will reduce the debt burden, let alone the potential tax increases through higher employment or the economic growth that will happen once the economy is no longer broken.

Very cool. It looks well put together, and most importantly, it works!

I created a board with a couple links and then I noticed at the bottom of my homepage it says "Saved links" but that's empty. Is saving a link different from what I did by creating the links and putting them on the board?

Also, have you thought about something like "browse boards" page? People could optionally select a board they want to share publicly and others could view all public boards and maybe vote or rate them.

Edit: A couple more thoughts -

I have two kinds of link collecting. Social and personal.

Social:

1. Wife: hand her my phone.
2. Family: text messages
3. Friends: Discord server

I can't see myself changing from these solutions given...

1. Current solutions already work well.
2. I'd have to convince the other people to use this too, which seems hard, especially given 1.
3. More friction. Instead of "Go to url" it becomes "Go here to see the url to go to."

Personal:

I make YouTube videos sometimes and collect links for sources while I'm making them. Right now I put all the urls into a text file and at publish time I copy and paste the sources into the video description.

I could kind of see something like this fitting into the workflow IF I worked with someone else. Since I don't, the text file approach is easier and faster. If I did need to share collections of links, like with a collaborator or editor though...

Why would you leave the country where people who spend all of their income have more money?

You want to sell to them as much as possible, at inflated prices because they can afford it.

Even manufacturing is not obviously a problem there. Sure you can't blackmail your employees with being destitute, but those who choose to work for you are doing so out of their free will which may improve quality of their work. Also more better quality employees migh be available there because they had time and flexibility for self-improvement instead of being forced to work any job just to sustain themselves.
I really appreciate your self-recognition. Your contribution is as invaluable as anyone part of Ubuntu and I am glad you shared it. Somehow I find more people looking for outcome driven goals rather than these kind of efforts.

I'm not overly worried by what the government plans to do with this tech, more than any other tech they use for nefarious purposes.

I _am_ worried by the endgame of publicly available drone tech though, because it's very difficult to see how technically or legislatively we can avoid a future with tiny untraceable drones with long battery lives, that record audio and video and can go anywhere. The arms race that is going to be necessary to secure your home and workplace against these is going to be very expensive and ugly, and many people are going to have to settle with every conversation and sexual encounter they have being in public, if only for the lulz.

Privacy, like the fight against piracy, isn't going to be defeated because it's desirable or not, but rather just because the technology and temptation is inevitable.

> I'd much rather give people what they _need_ to survive, anything beyond that (tobacco, alcohol, entertainment, fashion clothing, cars, etc..) should be the privilege earned by working.

How would not having a car affect their ability to get to the job interview? And how would not having a fashionable formal attire affect their ability to do a good impression on the interviewer? How would not having access to entertainment affect their mental health?

People probably know more about what they themselves _need_ in their situation than you do. Give them the opportunity to divide resources on their own.

And investing in people beyond merely keeping them alive will generally pay dividends and be a good investment in the long run.

> why not administer the vaccine earlier on (pre-approval) to the most vulnerable?

The issue is less tangible and less quantative that that. It's about trust and public buy-in. If vaccine is rolled out despite not fully understanding its efficacy and safety and there are even minor side-effects, there will be fewer people who take the vaccine when they are asked to do so.
This not pure logic. This is a logical fallacy and a strawman argument.

You do not put forward any argument to my previous comment, and in fact illustrates my point.

At the moment there is an economic crisis due to the covid pandemic. This is a specific, time-limited issue and welfare has stepped up to help people, at an extreme cost. This is not sustainable and only considered because it is an emergency in nature.

If jobs dry up due to automation then there will indeed be scope to discuss UBI based on taxing 'robots' (so a clear and plausible way of financing it) . This is not what UBI as proposed now is about.

No-one has claimed that the poor deserve to be poor and/or do not deserve help. There are plenty of welfare schemes in Europe and quite a few of them result in effective UBI, but only for the poorer who actually need it.

What is the usability state of Servo now ?
Almost everything has at least an 8-bit MCU now. 32-bit MCUs are also extremely common now, and even simple ones like the ARM Cortex-M0 are competitive with a 286/386 (albeit with less memory / no MMU).

A rather surprising number of devices run very powerful application processors. An amusing example is Apple's Lightning to HDMI adapter, which has an ARM SoC with 256MB of RAM and boots a Darwin kernel in order to decode a H.264 compressed video protocol. Depending on what exactly they put into it (wouldn't be surprised if they borrowed the Apple TV chip for a relatively low-volume product like this) it may be more powerful than a fairly recent computer.
And they are ramping pretty fast right now. We are not talking about books shipped by Amazon here. I for my part am really satisfied with vaccine distribution right now, quite the opposite to mask distribution and sourcing.

Yes, firing the officer is the standard way to avoid actually doing anything meaningful about the violation. The perp normally moves right into another police force, and gets to leave behind their abuses file. The only response that has a chance of an effect is to file murder charges against the officer; so, anything else is nothing more than PR.
Why do you consider Sweden’s surrounding countries to be comparable? What specific metrics are you basing that on? To me it seems like this comparison is arbitrary and relies on uncritical readers accepting geographical proximity as an acceptable proxy for all the complexities involved.

Sweden’s strategy could well have worked if they committed to it. They didn’t actually go for “herd immunity” as you claim, and had a number of lockdown restrictions in place, although to a lesser degree than some other places. They unfortunately had some early blunders with nursing home protocols, and over half their deaths are from nursing homes specifically. But if you correct for that, they would be looking a lot better.

As for isolating the elderly or vulnerable - it’s not a cognitive dissonance. Two different parties both have a right to liberties, the ability to assess risk trade offs for themselves, and agency to make their own decisions. Those who are risk averse can quarantine themselves indefinitely, while those who aren’t can continue with their lives unimpeded. What exactly is the dissonance?

They most certainly did try to pursue herd immunity, but didn't message it publically. This can be seen from emails recently unveiled by a freedom of information request. In which, Anders Tegnell states “One point would be to keep schools open to reach herd immunity faster”. When a colleague stated that such measures might increase the elderly death rate, he replied “10% might be worth it?”.

A number of other emails were deleted by Tegnell because “I delete a lot of emails that I do not consider relevant in a way that needs to be recorded”. We can only speculate what Tegnell deemed unworthy of our consideration.

I don't know what you've read or what sources you have. I'm a swede and have been following the Corona situation relatively closely (looking at facts and not media hysteria too much). My parents are retired health care professionals. My sister-in-law works at FHM. I've been in contact with hospitals and health services quite a bit the last year (my wife's grandma died due to cancer, I had a child that was born at one of the largest hospitals in Sweden). At times, the situation has been hard for health workers, having to work more than normal (sadly, the personnel situation was a big problem even before COVID, it just tipped it across the border). But to say that the Swedish health system collapsed is a lie (or at least back it up with data/some facts/sources).

I do agree though it'll be interesting to see what the cause for the relatively high amount of excessive deaths was (not bigger than many other western countries, such as Belgium or the US), but still. I'm not saying the Swedish approach was the best one (or even a good one), but let's not spread misinformation. Sweden is so much misused in this debate (on both sides) and that scares the me the most.

On that note, several really bad/horrible incidents in the spring where health care workers did strict prioritizations was due to media and mass hysteria - NOT because of health system collapse... Misinformation is really dangerous - life and death dangerous...

I think it will lead to inflation of rents untill landlords capture most of BI value. Unless it's specifically prevented by rent controls or progressive real estate tax that's fed straight back to BI funding.

Yep, exactly.

I wonder who's down voting this and why.
According to [0] Sweden has better deaths per capita than the US, UK, Spain and Italy. We still have no data about what the longer term effects of all these business closures will be, because the pandemic is ongoing. And at the time the decisions were made it was wishful thinking that a vaccine would be almost upon us by now.

This Swedish "failure" is not yet manifest. They are an apparently weak performer, but by no means outside the pack. And the better performers in the pack are suspect - India and China may as well be several different countries packed together by population. Their numbers are a bit unrealistic.

No, I am just pointing out that there is a resource misallocation, and people don't have to suffer poverty.

And I also think that people simply deserve some equity (large portion of total economic assets in our society was created by our ancestors), just by virtue of being part of the society. UBI is just a dividend from that equity.

>I don't know what kind of economic books you've read, but mine had terms such as "hyperinflation" in them :-)

You don't have to issue more currency/debt once you have reached the target inflation rate because if you manage to hit the right inflation rate every year you have already executed your stimulus properly and are reducing unemployment. Consumer inflation is a proxy for worker income because most of the goods or services that are indexed are the product of labor. If the stimulus arrives in the hands of workers first it will mean that worker salaries will grow ahead of inflation.

>If anything, stuff like global currencies ($, €) bail out their respective owners because they're world reserve currencies. Some of the smaller Eurozone countries would have definitely defaulted, had hyperinflation, etc, without the Euro. Now they're in recession instead, which sucks a lot but still less than the alternative.

They are in recession because of a lack of demand for domestic workers which is basically the problem that moderate inflation would solve.

Just look at these charts:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/225698/monthly-inflation...

Inflation is high in Poland and Hungary. Does this mean they suffer from problems? Actually no it's the opposite.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/268830/unemployment-rate...

Poland has the second lowest unemployment rate and Hungary is still well below the EU average. Please bear in mind that this chart only shows the inflation rate in August. I chose this chart because it is a easy to read bar chart. Some numbers may be outliers but the general trend will be the same no matter what chart you look at.

True. Which leads us back to that it is a "Misleading sensationalist headline." as somebody else mentioned here.
I've never thought of it that way. It's an interesting idea, that I want to understand better, so I'll spend a few hours reading up on this today.

At the time of writing, you mean all of two comments got the gender wrong. Not _that_ surprising. Of course, people not reading the articles before making a comment is common anywhere.

As other comments have suggested, in most places you have ~90% female nurses, so it would be a reasonable assumption for somebody that didn't read or skimmed.

Does a broader/faster spread increase the likelihood of significant mutations (I've seen this suggested, but I'm unclear if it was by a reliable source)? If so, this seems like it may be a risky strategy, as it may, for instance, challenge your assumptions (that it "barely effects" young healthy people) or nullify your vaccine progress.

> The first one is that I think work is a fundamental aspect of personal life and people feel deeply rewarded for being compensated for it.

That's a reason to like UBI.

(1) It allows more people to work. Current social programs discourage work because earned income reduces benefits; not so with UBI.

(2) It allows more meaningful work. People aren't so desperate they need to take any job and we can safely drop minimum wage, making it affordable to hire people for less commercially viable tasks.
I agree. I imagine the idea is you do it when you'll still get to lead/work on the project and it'll be enjoyable/beneficial to your career.

That's interesting - if what you're saying is true then why is the government's next year policy significantly increasing taxes, essentially stopping all investment and reducing social safety payouts to nearly zero - all of that in order to pay debt? We're not in the Eurozone, were THE ONE country with nearly total employment, and were the fastest growing European economy before the pandemic.
