Like the Oakland program which specifically excludes whites. Or basically every other program that only includes extremely low income people. I suppose it gets the results they want though, which is to show it helps the lives of the people, however as we have seen with this last year of unemployment checks, people just won’t go back to work if they can make almost as much for doing nothing. At our business getting people to return when unemployment was an extra $600 a week on top of about 60% of their wages was absolutely impossible. Bow that it’s still $300 it’s a struggle to get people back.
Can you provide some numbers about people taking benefits instead of working? I'm sure there are a small number, but unemployment in the US is currently within a normal range, so I don't see the impact you claim being possible.
How do they test this for a subset of the population, while actually ensuring the at-scale harmful impacts don't happen when it is scaled up? One of the biggest concerns I've heard is inflation. If you test on a small group, you won't see inflation and you will think your test was a success.

You can control your tiktok feed. If you make no attempt to control it you get an eclectic mix. If you use the tools that tiktok gives you you'll end up with a curated feed.

TikTok is very good at giving you the content you're interested in, if you take a small amount of time to train it.
Yeah. That should be the issue.

Though TikTok is kind enough to run their international version on AWS.
That's a good point. We've already carried out enough small-scale tests of UBI to know that it has no obvious drawbacks, and carrying out even more small-scale tests will not provide us with much new information. What we need now are state-wide implementations of UBI, as they are the only way that UBI-sceptics may be forced to accept it if the results are positive.
It might help to look at the Welsh political landscape. Labour is in power but is permanently at risk of being replaced by the national-populist Plaid Cymru (like it happened in Scotland, where the Scottish National Party literally wiped the board). PC (like the SNP) supports UBI, so Lab has to coopt the policy. This also helps them attract LibDem voters (another pro-UBI party), whose votes are otherwise wasted (LDs can’t win in Wales). And it solidifies the covid-created Wales-Scotland axis against the UK government, currently dominated by unabashed “England-first” Conservatives (philosophically opposed to UBI, since it threatens to reduce employers’ power).

So the Welsh government has an interest in making the policy work for real, to keep them in power in the long term. The issue for them will be affordability.
It did fly, my point is, as a project it didn’t go anywhere. It’s not like it was some major leap in the Russian space programme.
It would also need to be tested in nations that have lots of social programs and nations with low social programs. A wide range of governments here. For example, I could see a UBI test in the US just going to pay for health insurance premiums (or part of them anyway)
The problem with the chip industry is that it's not really a money maker. Yes you need factories in your own country but this is only because of national security, the actual economic benefit isn't the deciding factor.

The chip shortage is creating an economic incentive to expand production capacity on its own, there is no need for subsidies but countries should accommodate new fabs by making them viable to build them in the first place.

One big problem with fabs is that they need specialized staff, they are not going to employ the average worker.
You don't need to be an expert in native to write a RN app. However, you need to be very capable in native to have a responsive, performant, smooth RN app, and to keep it that way for years.

Large teams can afford to have a subset of platform devs and a large body of RN app devs to make this plan work (note: you now have 3 platforms: iOS, Android, and RN itself). Smaller teams will struggle. Most often, small teams will end up putting their weight on the RN side (develop new features!), and slowly slide downhill in performance, responsiveness and overall UX like the proverbial boiling frog.
To put it simply - Rust empowers a master like dtolnay to create something as powerful, zero cost, fast and easy to use as serde … while also enabling a noob like me to write simple, relatively bug free code.

As a bonus I can pull in serde with one line and use it without worrying about shooting myself in the foot.
Match ergonomics was one of the greatest improvements to the language, I’d personally put it almost on par with NLL.

For anyone who’s interested:

In Rust, you tend to do a lot of pattern matching and destructuring. But you also often only have a reference to your data, because copies can be expensive.

Combining pattern matching and references was always possible, but confusing: you had to place lots of “ref” annotations in various places, which I never got right on the first try. But now, you can magically destructure e.g. a reference to a tuple into a tuple of references. You don’t have to think about it, it simply works. Combined with Rust’s algebraic types, this allows you to write very elegant, almost fp-like code that’s also zero copy.
> All the arguments about disincentivising work are, IMO just convenient filler

Not sure, I've read articles online about companies in the US struggling to hire because people are being paid more by the government. The counter to this is that companies should pay more. Undoubtedly some could afford to do this, but others... the mom & pop outfits... may not be able to.
> Then move to something else?

Sadly the iOS platform is pretty popular (25-50% in most developed countries), and a walled garden par excellence, so ignoring it is ignoring a decent part of your potential market.
I would say it's more integrated but also more flexible (only within neovim though. I don't have any good solution to run telescope from command line at this moment).

Each aspect of telescope can be customized (so you can change the sorting algorithm, the previewer, the search text, the format of the UI, etc). It was designed for vimmers to spend endless hours configuring (which is my favorite pasttime) ;)

The speed difference should be less now (for most of the pickers, I haven't fixed all of them yet), but fzf is (and probably always will be) faster than telescope.

It's a bit difficult to explain in short amounts, but I will hopefully put together a youtube series and/or some writing where I can explain it more succinctly. I usually feel like I have too much to say when it comes to telescope.

Ultimately though, I think if fzf is working well for you then I probably would not switch. fzf is really awesome!
Well, the whole thing about UBI, as opposed to unemployment payments, is that you'd continue getting it regardless of other sources of income, right? So you should always have some incentive to work, if the conditions are reasonable and they make it worth your time.
I have significant sympathy for that base’s point of view.

It’s one thing to say that we must provide a social safety net for the most vulnerable, whether temporarily or permanently so.

It’s quite another to say “work should be optional and the basics of life should be provided for all [via the work of others]”.

I think you’ll find a few people who object to my 2nd paragraph, but extending the argument to the 3rd is a jump where you’ll lose a great number of reasonable people.
Bash rarely impresses me but this is a feature I love about it. I write Python normally, I really wish it had this.
I didn't say voters shouldn't petition their representatives, I said organizations funded by a biased subset of voters shouldn't petition politicians for voters.

That defeats the entire purpose of the current reprentative system if you have a mechanism to skew and pressure representation based on your financial resources as opposed to voters.

I already question the current representation system. It doesn't help when I know I can pump tens of millions or more into professional lobbyists to get unequal representation in government.
> Hyperion spends more of it's time shipping litigation rather than software.

That's a weird comment to make on the day Hyperion ships a second significant update to AmigaOS in 3 years, while Cloanto has been sitting on its IP to sell a glorified, Windows-only UAE bundle with no improvements whatsoever.

I don't have an opinion on the legal fight, but as user I can see who's actually moving things forward, and that's where I'm putting my money.
In the US, it’s not UBI; it’s unemployment which you lose if you work. If UBI isn’t lost via work (other than via taxes, of course), the same issue does not arise at nearly the same magnitude.
Roden Crater is the life work of James Turrell, a sculptor whose medium is light - he creates visible immaterial objects by constructing spaces that bounce and reflect light to create unreal spaces and objects. It used to be common for people to fall into his installations because they could not sense the boundary between their observer space and the art.

I first become aware of James Turrell when a 3D graphics researcher during the late 80's. His work and creating 3D renderers capable of simulating his art was an inspiration.

Side tangent: his writing about his art is the inspiration for the "Tyrell" character in "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" (BladeRunner novel). I remember reading that in a PKD interview.

I just see child level brain development content. Meaning, extreme cliches, gooey/sticky materials, household objects in weird context or used strangely, weird recipes, animals making strange noises, pretty people dancing, one dimensional emotional stories like I helped an old lady cross the street, wedding clothes, weird iPhone "hacks" and tricks etc. Surely depends on location, this is Germany.

Actually quite similar to the so-called "chumbox" content types.

I agree there is unnatural behavior in this comment section. No way the enthusiasm is organic.
Of course. That’s exactly my point. I don’t know what cut Amazon takes from sellers. But you would expect it to be higher than Apple’s cut, since it is dealing with physical goods. The comparison would be interesting. (Unlike the comparison with Stripe.)
I'm the root commentor but I hope you don't mind me piling on.

It's pretty well agreed that the trial in Finland worked:

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2242937-universal-basic...

Id welcome a trial that included paying for it. That said, I don't think it would make a big difference. The UK (I'm a brit) spends enough on welfare to just give everyone £5000 pa (including kids) at the same price. We could just start there and make zero changes to tax policy...
In practice the UK already pays the price for a universal basic income. Most poor people get some sort of tax credit and/or housing benefit. What we don't do is allow people to use it to rise out of poverty. A disabled lady thought saving some of her disability was the responsible thing to do, despite further impoverishing herself, once she built up some savings she was prosecuted for fraudently claiming benefits while having savings. There is this tremendous destructive fear that no one should build up any capital with the help of benefits when this is precisely what would lift people out of poverty long term and reduce the costs on society.
Money can certainly help influence someone to wear a bomb vest, they don't need to actually believe in the cause. There could be someone out there that specializes in finding people in vulnerable financial situations that wouldn't mind blowing themselves up if it meant that their family was well taken care of.
>ideal candidate group would be older, poorer people (say, in there 40s)

Perhaps. That helps determine if older people who don't make a lot of money anyway will just decide to stop working.

However, perhaps the bigger question is if it's offered to younger people, will a lot of them simply never get a job after school and, by the time they realize they need more than UBI, it's too late.
Per transaction served, there is no question Bitcoin uses more energy. That is because it uses cost as a defense mechanism.

That said, perhaps it's too much reward for this sacrifice; the transaction fees are quite expensive.

> It's easy to hire people, you just have to offer better wages. The issue is that they can't find anybody willing to work for the wage they are offering, which is very different from not being able to find people to hire.

...because the government is paying them not to work. That's the point. And that means no skills are being trained, no discipline is being developed, and no experience is being attained learning customer service and the basics of business economics.

I worked in a convenience store for minimum wage ($4.25/hour) for four years when I was younger. A little more than a decade later I owned my own retail store. Believe me, it's a long trip from stocking a drink cooler and scrubbing the toilets (what I did on my first day) to opening your own retail establishment. But that story is quite common - many dishwashers become restaurant owners, line cooks become chefs, and stockers become store managers.

Your point about wages isn't really cogent. I'm a degreed Computer Scientist and software professional with decades of experience and I'll flip burgers for the right wage. But most won't be able to afford to buy them and they certainly won't find the cost-value appealing. And when the cost of those burgers goes up, UBI and whatever other creative ways we justify paying people not to work will have to go up too.

> The issue is that they can't find anybody willing to work for the wage they are offering

While this is accurate, it ignores OP's point that they were willing to work for those wages pre-pandemic, but now the government is paying them something equivalent to 'sit around' (per OPs point).

Is it the job of the employer to raise wages or the government's job to pay people to work vs sitting? Maybe we should bring back the Civil Works Administration
I don't know how you come to this conclusion, but the engine block in a modern passenger car is definitely not the heaviest part. The engine block itself is often incredibly light, even a V8 made from cast iron would only be a few hundred pounds.

The body (or unibody) of any modern car is far heavier, given that it has so many functions and safety features as part of its design.
An interesting thing about all those examples are that they’re fairly streamlined languages making it easier to write good accelerators. Even JS only has one prototype system and lots of functions. All in contrast to Python which has a quite complex runtime and accidental complexity in the language design details.
There’s a difference between a book and its author (although I guess critical theorists would have something to say about that).
I believe the author said people were misinterpreting the study. It included people who caught it before the protection of the first dose kicked in.
Because a rational government would never cancel anything that is positive?

I used to agree, but it’s hard to argue that the temporary US covid unemployment benefits haven’t changed behavior. It’s obviously not a perfect test, but maybe it’s better than we thought?
> It is useful to ask what you are trying to achieve with an UBI?

Remove poverty trap and improve dignity in social programs. Many social programs already offer equivalent money but they are means-tested. Effort to get more income may lead to not being eligible for these programs, which is essentially equivalent to very high effective marginal tax rate, discouraging people to try.

In my experience, Google Translate often delivers quite good results for sentences that are spelled correctly and don't make much use of implied subjects/objects. But if there is as much as a typo, it has a particular habit of just dropping words or even entire sentence fragments that it can't quite make sense of, and then playing fast and loose when it comes to interpreting the remaining verbs and re-inserting implied subjects, so it can somehow still shoehorn it into a reasonable English sentence.

Edit: Minor clarification: I'm referring to past experience translating Chinese to English in particular.
Please share the examples of the US “unilaterally invading” countries in Africa. I’m not aware of an example, but I’d love to learn something new.

If you are using fuzzy rhetoric to refer to various forms of political interference (clandestine or otherwise, legal or otherwise)... I would agree. But then the comparison vs. China and other world powers gets a lot muddier. Even the comparison between world powers and local powers gets muddy in that case. Politics, local or global, is historically ugly business.

The key global questions should be what frameworks of behavior do we want to condone? What justifications do we allow as legitimate nation-state motivations? How is it acceptable for states to treat their own people? (The last is particularly relevant when a state contains approximately 1/5th of humanity itself.)

Does China really offer a better vision to you?
Did not expect this move from Tesla.
If you want to make sure it boots up next time though, consider having it recapped : on A600/A1200/CD32 it's a matter of when, not if, low quality capacitors will leak and damage the board.
Could be treated with something like Repelcote:

https://uk.vwr.com/store/product/2994602/repelcote-vs-water-...

which coats the glass with a layer of silicone polymer.

Not entirely unlike some automotive silicone "waxes" which repel hydrous materials.

Or treatment of the glassware with the much more hazardous dimethyldichlorosilane (DMCS), which actually reacts strongly with the the glass surface at the molecular "sticky points" (which otherwise cause water to wet clean untreated glass and form a H2O film rather than bead up).

The DMCS is pretty rough and you need to handle it under a hood since it can give off more "smoke" consisting of pure HCL vapor sometimes when you open the bottle, compared to opening concentrated hydrochloric acid.

And it eats through the bottle's plastic closure every few years, so it's one of the ones that you need to keep an eye on and replace the cap as needed.

But you get some pretty slick glassware.

>they care for what they think is the truth, and what support their opinions.

I'd take this one step further and say that the majority of people don't have consistent opinions about what the truth is, they only care for receiving the informational stimuli they've been conditioned to perceive as pleasant.

UBI is therefore an experiment in nomenclature. The reality of governments giving money over long periods of time to citizens whose labor is not market-competitive is nothing new. What's being tested is how it's branded: "welfare, benefits" is a humanistic, "socialist" way of branding it while "universal, basic, income" are words more in line with the rationalistic, "neoliberal" memeplex.
And for the A600/A1200/CD32, make sure you have them recapped sooner rather than later. Old leaking capacitors can and do damage PCBs.

not sure it was so popular, maybe because it was very raw and hackisch but still interesting.
For unemployment at least in our state you don’t even have to show you are looking for a job. Anyone hiring can tell you how hard it was to get people back to work, we’re talking people making $25 per hour refusing to work because unemployment was
60% of their salary plus $600 a week. A person making $30,000 per year was making the equivalent of $49,000 per year instead, and didn’t have to do anything for it. Now it is that plus $300 per week and someone making $30,000 is now still making about $33,000 per year, again without actually having to work or even look. If they do come back they refuse to work more than about 15 hours per week so they can continue to claim unemployment for the rest and get their extra $300 per week.
