> That doesn't change the fact that Hart Island existed pre-covid and will continue to exist post-covid

sure. i don't take issue with that. it was just one of many reports on the anomaly events like the refrigerator morgues and other events. Fact of the matter this disease is very deadly and the articles of the time show it.

here's articles from both sides of the aisle during that time period:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/11/us/hart-island-coronavirus-bu...

https://www.foxnews.com/us/aerial-images-new-york-hart-islan...

Both show proper context and highlight how different the burials were. (neither of them are AP stories) fox notes that burials went from one day a week to five days a week. both offer the history of the island and what it's normally used for. I see a fair article from both of those ideologically opposed orgs.
Lots of fun catch phrases, but unless you also propose a solution, it comes off like someone standing on a soap box in a campus quad preaching to three people.

Offshoring cheap labor already happened everywhere possible. Domestic "low-skill" labor today is overwhelmingly in restaurants, hotels, and retail. I assure you that Taco Bell is not making bean burritos on-site because it's the cheapest place to do so.
Thanks for the easy summary.

One thing to consider: for some IRL performances, it's not uncommon that if you arrive late, you might be seated at the timing discretion of an usher. I understand digital experiences may carry different expectations, but I could see building an experience around this, perhaps starting with audio-only and maybe even a countdown to a next keyframe event (every minute?) while a "please wait to be seated" is shown.

> do so a lot more cost effectively than UBI since you wouldn’t be guaranteeing payments to people who don’t need them

One of the arguments for UBI is that, as it makes no effort whatsoever to exclude anyone, it is enormously simpler than the alternatives, both in terms of people reasoning about their taxes and in terms of implementing it.

Of course, it would be UBI + lots of other tax codes, but that's meant to be part of the point.
As of Windows 8, it is tickless (along with XNU and Linux). Windows refers to this as "dynamic tick".
Yup. If all jobs have to compete with the null-job, then there will be no jobs worse than just getting up to your own devices.
A negative income tax is far more complex, here is an example of contemporary system.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_income_tax_credit
``Millions of American families who are eligible for the EITC do not receive it, essentially leaving billions of dollars unclaimed. The IRS estimates that about 20 percent of eligible taxpayers do not claim $7.3 billion of Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) each tax year.[43]``

> as if we just haven't figured out

It's also amusing the every developed country except one has already figured this out, and proven over decades their solution works very well.

I'm perpetually dumbfounded America isn't able to look at the rest of the developed world, learn from what they're doing that is superior, modify and improve it a little for their needs and implement it for their own gain.

EDIT: Rather than downvotes, how about some constructive discussion around why the US appears incapable of learning from other countries?
Of those distributions, only Fedora sets SELinux to enforcing by default. Moreover, AFAIK Fedora (and RHEL) are the only distributions that had wide-scale testing of the reference policy [1] [2]. So, if you enable SELinux with the reference policy on the other distributions that you mention, it is likely that you will run into all kinds of issues.

[1] https://github.com/SELinuxProject/refpolicy

[2] https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy
That's a very narrative driven world view. The problem with UBI is that some jobs suck but need to be done, and if you set a guaranteed income for doing nothing the incentive for doing that job suddenly needs to be a lot higher to compete. Saying that it's just the capital owners is ridiculous - consider for eg. elderly care - good luck living in with your demented mother who needs assistance to perform even the basic tasks - you think capital owners are the ones unable to afford elderly care ? And so on and so forth.
That reminds me of my favorite saying: "-isms make schisms"

The past 25-30 years of research do not show this to be true. The link between the minimum wage and unemployment isn't really a thing. I recognize your position was the conventional wisdom in the 1990s but newer research and analysis (along with tons of states experimenting with minimum wage over the various decades) paint a clear picture that it helps not just low-income workers but can help firms too by boosting productivity.

Interesting read about feedback loops and self-fulfilling prophecies.

However, the author made it sound as if "momentum" is the only thing that drives human behavior. While it's certainly a part, I wouldn't say it's the only force driving human decisions.

UBI will never work because it's based on the fact that we remove all other forms of welfare, which, will never happen.
I wouldn't expect the solution to world poverty to be easily typed up on an internet message board.
Imagine a graph where the x-axis is how much you make at your job, and the y-axis is how much spending money ends up in your bank account after the government gets involved by either giving you welfare money or taxing you. So without the government you just have y = x. At zero income you have zero money, which is not ideal, so we'll try to come up with a system to give the destitute money so they don't die of starvation.

As a first crack at it, let's just give everyone who makes less than say $10k per year a bundle of aid that amounts to the fixed value of $1000 per month. This perhaps an improvement because we aren't ignoring the needs of the poor, but it creates a problem, which is what a welfare trap is. Imagine the graph for this situation. If you're making over $10k per year it's y = x, but if you're making less it's y = x + ($1000/month). So at x = ($1000/month) there's a sharp drop in take-home money. So people who would perhaps like to make a little more money are disincetivized from doing so because they would stop taking home that $1k per month and be exchanging it for a much smaller raise.

The negative income tax proposal attempts to solve this first by just providing cash to poor people instead of various goods that are hard to measure, and then by ensuring that the curve we're talking about never has a negative slope or drop. For instance imagine if you make zero dollars, you're given $1000/month, but then for every additional dollar you make independently, you receive 25 cents less aid. You'll always want to make more independently in this situation even if you don't keep it all.
Both of your first two points - which I actually don't disagree with - fail to address the major and unique problem here. And it is this. There are 6 million users on WSB. If you haven't been there (which takes a moment since it is not locked down), you will see stuff like this: a user posts a new post, similar to HN, and they'll maybe post a screenshot of a position with an emoji of diamonds, hands, and rocketships.

Cue thousands of users replying stuff like, "This is the way. To the moon!" with hundreds, sometimes thousands of upvotes.

My question to you is extremely difficult to answer, but it is relevant because old fashioned law enforcement action as you've described aren't so straightforward here: how do you police that?

I suppose someone could use ML to go through the thousands of comments and look for someone saying something like, "There's a short squeeze so let's nab those bastards! Everyone hold!" because those comments do exist, in fact many of them are that. BUT then how would you prevent people talking in code? What if thousands of people just started posting their positions with a thumbs up emoji?

Now my second challenge for you (or anyone who thinks standard SEC protocol is so easily applicable here, open and shut case). What is the difference between a Redditer saying, guys, there's a short squeeze about to happen, buy buy buy! and this:

"Tomorrow am at 11:30 EST Citron will livestream the 5 reasons GameStop $GME buyers at these levels are the suckers at this poker game. Stock back to $20 fast. We understand short interest better than you and will explain. Thank you to viewers for pos feedback on last live tweet

But what are states, artificial boundaries within a country for administration purposes.

Why should 5 million people in a particular boundary have the same say as 50 million people living in another boundary. It makes no logical sense..

In fact it is anti-democracy as all citizens’ votes are not equal. In fact this applies to the electoral vote system also.

Prepare to be quite shocked, bud. I'm still waiting for you to point out what exactly I've said that's wrong. Since your comments are full of angry rhetoric and lacking in substance it seems that you strongly dislike what I've said which is actually very different from what I've said being "flagrantly incorrect". Classic mixup.

> often sitting daily with our general counsel on many issues

I think you think this somehow bolsters your (again, completely emotional) argument? On the contrary, this is a pretty good indicator you don't understand federal securities laws. And I must say, I concur with your former GC's assessment.
> this seems completely miss the point of wayland security.

The point is that Wayland security is useless because the security boundary on Unix is fundamentally the user account:

> Of course if you run the programs under same account you can keylog them. You can also connect to Chrome and steal the cookies directly, wrap terminal to install pty loggers, backdoor ssh and so on.

> The real point of wayland security is you can safely run multiple user accounts on the same desktop. And the LD_PRELOAD tricks (or PATH tricks etc..) do not work across accounts, unless you are doing something stupid.

If this indeed be the point, then I ask you to come with a single official Wayland reference that promotes it as such and phrases it as such, as that is not the point the advocates make at all, and they phrase it simply as “One can no longer be keylogged by malware.”, which is a very dubious claim.

Once malicious software has been executed as one's user, that is the end of it, and one's entire account can now be treated as forfeit, and Wayland does nothing, and cannot do anything due to the fundamental designs of Unix to stop that.

Furthermore, there are already quite a few mechanisms on X11 to achieve what you illustrated. — that does not mean that Wayland is useless, it simply means that it does not provide a solution to any existing problem in this specific field that is not provided elsewhere.

There are two common claims that are very frequently made by official sources such as GNOME that are false:

- X11 cannot be sandboxed.

- With Wayland, one cannot be keylogged.

> that's it -- this will stop this attack, and many others, cold. And will not require any SELinux.

Yes, never running malicious code with the privileges of one's user would stop it from gaining access to said user, but the promises of Wayland are protections even if the former have happened. — this is false advertisement.
There's a bunch of ads promoting making vaping illegal, on terrestrial radio/tv fear mongering about heavy metals aimed at the 'Karen' crowd. As far as I can tell they are based on a few people who died after consuming grey market THC cartridges and some studies where the scientists intentionally cranked up the wattage above spec to get metal release.

Glycophosphate (Round-Up) allegedly caused cancer in a few workers who, per label, grossly misused it. There have a been a few high profile lawsuits, at least one in CA, over those cancers, and corresponding calls to ban it. This is of course despite both an excellent safety record and lack of safer alternatives, asserted by many studies and meta studies from the FDA and the European equivalent. Glycophosphate though, is 'factually'[0] listed by IARC as a class 2A carcinogen. I'm sure there are few HN threads digging into this one if you have lots of time to kill.

[0]IARC is basically a factory of 'facts' that sound bad but aren't when it comes to cancer: class 2A is the same class as eating red meat.

A centralized Digital currency has its place and is coming to all countries eventually. There are benefits such as easy disbursement of money to the masses (UBI) by depositing it directly into their wallets, efficient taxation and more. Look into CBDCs.

We need to open the borders up. It is so unfair that only people who happen to live in the USA right now will get UBI.

Biden needs to form military caravans to escort people across Mexico to get here as fast as possible. He can also start planes and ships from Africa. How many people can you load on an aircraft carrier? How many trips can it make a year? Let's stop messing around.

It's so nationalist to talk about UBI without including those who cannot partake of it by accident of birth. Shame.

I agree this isn’t about Robinhood’s solvency, but it also means they’re essentially unable to execute trades in a way that’s consistent with a free market.

Their business requires them to perform this function, and if they can’t do that because they’ve run out of their own money with which to underwrite these trades until settlement, then that’s very much a crisis of liquidity however you slice it (which you can’t because, you know, liquid. Badum-tisch).
thanks abunch
The advantage of UBI is that everyone gets it. Of course the puritans who believe that someone is only worth what a job gives them object that only those earning should get paid so some people regard this as a disadvantage.
going to unreasonable lengths to preserve everything how it was in the past is reminiscent of people who cover their furniture in plastic.

Your comment is reminiscent of ageism.

It's also disingenuous to frame this as a "Starlink" problem. It's a Starlink problem plus the 13 other companies also trying to put 50,000 microsats in orbit, plus the 200 companies that will do it after them when prices come down.

In a couple of decades, we end up with millions of microsats in orbit, and by then there's nothing that can be done.

But as long as we can beam social media misinformation into the most remote corners of the planet, heaven and nature be damned.
Everyone talks about it. This is pretending that businesses would do nothing in response to the changes. They'd do a lot of stuff, like raise prices, invest in efficiency improvements, invest in their employees, reduce employee hours, offset the increase in lower level wages by reducing upper level wages, etc.. What the response would be just depends on the business and their circumstances.

Edit: also, I can't find the study, but I know there was one done about statewide minimum wage changes in states with large differences in cost of living. It's a smaller scale version of what you'd see on a nationwide hike given the differences in cost of living (i.e,, NYC vs Buffalo). Generally speaking, businesses adjusted.

There is no restriction from SEC. Its money in app not privacy issue me/people would compromise.
Why do you think we'll run out of things for people to do? The history of the last 500 years or so suggests that when old jobs get optimized out of existence, there's still plenty that needs doing. When I look around, I definitely don't see a society with no unfilled needs, so I expect we can keep going quite a spell.
To pay for it, it's going to be fully reclaimed at like $90,000 or lower.

For 2M/hour employers would be able to maintain sophisticated forms of automation, without the liabilities of humans.

I have a similar problem with a QHD screen that I want 150% scaling. The worst part is that using the experimental scaling is it seems to consume a lot more cpu usage and thus power on my laptop.
Back then I was 25, had far fewer health problems and more natural energy and mental focus, no kids, no girlfriend, no real hobbies, nothing to do on evenings or weekends, world-class expertise in my narrow domain, and a driving obsession with the project I was working on. None of these things are true right now. Even if I could find a project I could be similarly obsessed about, I am no longer young, and I have many other priorities and commitments, both on my time and my mental energy. I could not and genuinely don't want to go back to the Diet Coke fueled 14 hour workdays of my 20s. Being 10x at something is not inherently desirable. It's more just the recognition of the fact that productivity varies.

They are the #1 app because people were interested in trading GME, and the network effect led to lots of recommendations to download robinhood. Now there is a very negative sentiment towards robinhood. Very few people online will recommend it.

Worth noting that Webull, a robinhood competitor, is the #2 app in the play store. They initially restricted stocks but later allowed people to freely buy and sell.
I don't think people talking about a negative income tax are aligned behind it being non refundable.
I agree, which is why I generally stay out of these conversations.

But I think it's important for people go to beyond "That's not the problem. This is the problem" and on to "But here's something we might think about that could work toward a solution."

All I ever see on HN is the same talking points I've heard regurgitated in the dozen or so union halls I've been in from coast to coast over the last 30 years. Everyone gets a lot of practice shouting the right keywords, but nobody ever says anything new, or even tip-toes near a solution.
I've built a new Flutter web app this week and I've hit some gotchas like improper rendering of text form fields (SVG flags were incorrectly set when displaying on the web, regardless of HTML or Canvas rendering it seems). However, Google engineers are actively working on problems like these and it seems like the dev branch is fairly stable and usable as of right now. I'd say 30 days ago it would not have been the case.
> What this means is that timeBeginPeriod still sets the global timer interrupt interval, on all versions of Window. We can tell from the results of timeGetTime() that the interrupt fires on at least one CPU core at that rate, and the time is updated.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding that sentence, but it doesn't sound tickless. Digging into dynamictick, it sounds like they can suspend the timer interrupt for some ticks, but there's still a regular timer tick going off rather than setting up the timer for each next event like you'd see in a tickless design.
When I tried to get residency in Canada as a Software Engineer I was told by my local MP to get a minimum wage job for two years at Walmart, McDonalds or Canadian Tire because they had rubber-stamp approval with the government, and it was the easiest way.

In my town, all the immigrants worked at those places, and they lived 15 to a small house. Not surprisingly, no Canadian was willing to do those jobs.

While obviously not nearly as bad as the conditions in the article, it's certainly in a similar vein.
So poor people need to exist because otherwise we wouldn't be able to force people to do things we ourselves wouldnt want to do? And if they are not poor they would stop being in awful servitude jobs noone wants? I guess it just sucks to be born poor then, too bad we can't help them
Here's some studies of the effects of Seattle's minimum wage hike:

"The most common strategic response reported by the businesses has been to raise prices or fees of child tuition and to reduce hours of or number of staff. Center directors reported that employee wages and benefits comprise the majority of business expenses and that child tuition was the primary source of business income. Thus, most businesses reported they would need a mix of strategies to accommodate increased labor costs to ensure that added expenses were not falling entirely onto the families they serve."
