Probably the same thing we did when agriculture went from 70% of the workforce to under 1.5%. People will adapt to fill new demands.

If it comes to pass at some future time that machines can do all the work and everyone can live a Garden of Eden existence, goods and services will be so cheap due to their natural abundance, that UBI might be feasible but food and essentials might be almost not worth the trouble of metering.

We’re really, really far from that being a reality or concern, IMO.
What don't you get? They pay the price of it but don't get it, may as well pay the price of it and get the benefits it provides.
What is outrageous if that the UK prevents you from getting any benefit of you have any savings. It's basically encouraging you to not save any money.
TSMC buy their machinery from EU.

Their most cutting edge expertise is in good part made in EU.
You can be brilliant and kind. These things are not mutually exclusive, as some might lead you to believe. You should not tolerate assholes because of their brilliance.
I wonder if the shifts they're talking about have really been true migrations. There's constantly new people and companies entering/exiting the industry. New entrants are likely to use whatever is in vogue, so overall there is going to be a shift in what's dominant as time goes on even if no one were to actually switch from one tool to another.
In other words, Jews in Israel are "illegal" and "apartheid", so 2,000 rockets fired at them by terrorist groups are justified.

You pretend to care about "human rights", but what you're actually doing is demonizing 7 million Jews living in Israel, to justify genocidal violence against them.
You’re not responding to the point. There was a clear deal in place regarding how China could govern/change Hong Kong, with strict timelines.

China broke its word and trashed the deal. Eventual certainty notwithstanding — the CCP demonstrated (as it has oh so many other times) that their word is unusually unreliable, even in the shitty arena of international politics.
At the NGO, any foregone salary can be used to further the interests of the organization. This likely brought you as much utility as additional salary itself.
I was looking for estimated numbers of people actually doing this. Your initial comment seemed to imply a very large number of people opting to remain on unemployment. I don't think that's true, given the current unemployment figures are near historical norms.
There are already studies on effects of UBI:

I agree it's a moral issue, I spent a significant amount of time thinking about the subject and my conclusion is that forcing people to give away their money is immoral, no matter how good the cause you're contributing money to.

After interviewing several people, I reached the conclusion most people don't think at all about the issue and have therefore incredibly inconsistent philosophical positions on issues.
To the "girls dancing" claim, I get approximately zero dancing girl videos. If you demonstrated to the app that such is the content you want, that's what you'll get. I get tonnes of birds, comedy, pets, weird animals, etc.

"On top of that it is designed to be addicting for the sake of addiction."

TikTok doesn't create content. People do. It happens to have content creation tools [the real genius of TikTok that many overlook] that allow a lot of funny, creative people to generate content that they previously couldn't.

Is that "designed to be addictive"? I guess, in the meaningless "it's designed to offer a rewarding experience" way.

EDIT: Some of the complaints in this discussion remind me of this classic Onion story - https://bit.ly/2Qm2w87
The endless praise for TikTok here is very confusing. I don't think it's in bad faith the account age of the commenters all seem normal and the like.

I don't have any strong hatred of TikTok myself but usually HN are a privacy concerned skeptical bunch and this is very weird.
I think you're missing the point entirely. The government can't seize your virtual coins, but the only point of money is to spend it on actual goods, which the government definitely can seize.

There are a few instances of being able to collect both right now. I've heard of some people who manage manual labor type companies (painters, tree trimmers, landscapers, etc) that offer to pay laborers cash (which would be in addition to the unemployment benefits) and they cannot get workers. It's like the unemployment is a high enough amount that they'd rather collect just that and not work to earn more. Perhaps there is a magical amount which would convince people to collect benefits and still work to earn additional money.
I worked as a student employee in IT at a university department for two years. Upon graduation, I had no job prospects but the department was posting a full-time job for which I was impeccably qualified (it was basically my student job and then some). I applied to it and got the job.

Some of my colleagues recognized the transition from student employee to professional, but strangely enough, my own boss never made the mental transition. She continued to treat me like a student in a number of degrading ways, offering condescending advice about preparing for my future and so on. I say this with a 20-year hindsight. I look back at the relationship and still think it was degrading. Within a year I applied to a different department where I got a fresh start and immediately was treated as an IT professional (though junior, of course).

I learned from this that some people are always going to see you like they first saw you. Your mother is going to always see you as the adolescent with the messy bedroom, even when you're 40. Your student job boss is always going to see you as a student.

> Haskell, Agda and Idris could provide more safety but are not approachable to the "average" dev.

You (rightly, I think) place Idris (and Agda, although that's more a proof assistant than a PL) beyond the reach of the average developer, and also, apparently, Haskell -- arguably a simpler language than Rust, but never mind -- but not Rust. And that's my point and, I guess, our point of disagreement. If you think that, on that spectrum between, say, Python and Idris, Rust is at a good level for the average application developer to the point where maintaining high-level applications written in Rust would ever be cost effective, then I think you are out of touch with the realities of the software industry and the economic forces that shape it. I thought the exact same thing as you twenty five years ago: C++ was obviously the right language for the average developer -- even more so than, I don't know, Delphi or Visual Basic -- wasn't it?

> What's a better general-purpose language for this mythical "average" developer?

I don't believe any low-level language will be cost-effective for application development for the foreseeable future, if ever, and the average developer is anything but mythical (I mean, embodied as a single person, perhaps, but I'm talking about teams).

> Rust has the same level of memory safety

It doesn't (due to much more prevalent reliance on unsafe as well as FFI), but that's very much beside the point because, as you acknowledge, safety is not what it's about.
Or perhaps manual laborers are more ethical than you give them credit for in the post above and choose not to lie and cheat to double-dip unemployment while actually working.
If you take out pensions(~100b gbp), the UK spends (very) approx. 100 billion pounds a year on social assistance. I think OP is suggesting taking that 100 billion and dividing it evenly among the people of the UK vs specifically to the folks who have applied.
I’ve lost data from SyncThing. I had a holder called “backgrounds” full of jpgs on my PC. I set it up to mirror the parent of that folder to my Linux machine and my Mac, and everything synced and was happy. I’m still not entirely sure what went wrong by at some point one of the devices decided the folder name should be “Backgrounds” with a capital B (certainly not a change I made) and then all nodes deleted all the files in this folder and then started streaming errors to the logs that they couldn’t replicate all the files in either backgrounds or Backgrounds because none of the online nodes had a copy.

SyncThing is very handy, but not something I’d use as a backup solution.
The Finnish Basic Income Experiment was carried out in 2017–2018. The primary objective of the experiment was to provide information on the effects of a basic income on the target population’s employment, income and use of social benefits. An additional objective was to provide information on the well-being of the recipients of the basic income. 2,000 people who were aged 25–58 and receiving unemployment benefits from Kela in November 2016 were randomly selected to form the treatment group of the basic income experiment. Everyone else who was receiving unemployment benefits at the time formed the control group. The basic income was an unconditional benefit which did not have to be claimed, and for which there were no special conditions. The basic income was paid to the treatment group unconditionally for two years, and was not affected by any income from employment or entrepreneurship. This report includes the results from the sub- studies of the evaluation of the experiment. According to an analysis of the register data, during the one-year assessment period employment in the treatment group on average increased by 6 days more than in the control group. Sub-studies based on survey data analyzed the health, mental well-being, economic situation, trust and experiences with the bureaucracy of the treatment and control groups. With regard to a number of indicators, the well-being of the basic income recipients was better than that of the control group. Qualitative interview research shows, on the one hand, the very different meanings of basic income for one's own employment opportunities and, on the other hand, large differences in the starting points and life situations of basic income recipients. Better opportunities for social participation and increased autonomy were highlighted regardless of changes in one’s own employment. A media analysis found that the basic income experiment was covered in the domestic and international media, above all from an economic and employment perspective. In a population survey measuring support for a basic income, 46 % of respondents agreed or partially agreed with the statement that a basic income should be implemented in Finland.The evaluation of the basic income experiment was carried out by Kela, together with the VATT Institute for Economic Research, the University of Turku, the University of Helsinki, the Labour Institute for Economic Research, the Finnish Central Association for Mental Health and the think tank Tänk.

I think both three and two are similar statements: you already decided it's ok to forcefully get money from people, you may as well make it clear without hiding behind being charitable to poor people. It's a basic psychological trick.
Fair enough. Although "change careers" is arguably a different situation from "I've never had a job in my life and maybe I should think about getting one. I wonder what it involves?" People obviously can turn their lives around but it's difficult.

I don't necessarily disagree with your other point although I doubt $10K a year or whatever would be enough to influence these sorts of decisions for most people. Any UBI is going to be very Basic.
> if they are "just tools", why doesn't TSMC just build them themselves?

If TSMC isn’t doing anything special why doesn’t the EU just build fabs then?

> I'm not hearing any major challenges here that couldn't be overcome in the EU, considering the EU is capable of building some of the machines which are state of the art.

So why don’t they do it?
Yeah, I don't manage dev dependencies for projects in home-brew, just software for which I am a mere user. I probably wouldn't use apt and friends for those, either—not directly on my workstation anyway, maybe in some pinned-OS-version VM—unless my workstation happened to be identical to my deploy target and was guaranteed to stay that way. For a macOS build for C or C++ or anything along those lines, I'd probably vendor dependencies.
Chiropractors don’t actually help with back pain or any of the other problems they claims to help. The practice is based on “re-aligning” subtle subluxations in the spine. Two problems: there is no evidence that these subtle subluxations exist, and there is no evidence that spine alignment even extreme ones cause any ailments other than pinched nerves. Here is a good summary about the history of this pseudo-science:

Worst. I had a manager part of whose job was to review my docs (reports and bids) before they were released. Their approach to reviewing was to start at the beginning and work through a doc until they found a red flag. They then refused to go further until that issue was fixed, which significantly increased the length of the process and meant that there was invariably more stress to come on the next iteration. A lot of their review comments boiled down to "I don't like this do it again differently". And I was lucky, I was at least able to write decent English - one of their comments aimed at a co-worker was "This is the incompetent ramblings of a halfwit".

When I became a reviewer myself I resolved never to be like this. If I didn't like something, I would always indicate what change I was expecting for the next review to pass and also why the change was necessary - what specific problem was being addressed. If I didn't like something but couldn't say why, then I taught myself to not say anything at all, typically because it was a cosmetic difference in my preferences vs. the authors. I also realised that a really good technique was to have a quick chat with authors before they had done too much, especially to make sure we all agreed on the aim and purpose of the doc, and my review criteria - to avoid me introducing unexpected hurdles at the last minute. This became a good way of turning the review process into an iterative learning process for junior authors.

Isn't that what ubi should feel like?

Humans have evolved and adapted so well to this planet the amount of resources we extract and roduce far outpace the resources our bodies require.

There is literally not enough work to go around so we have to make it up.

If a site has user contributed content there will usually be the "seedy" content. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit...if it gets big enough, a certain segment will monetize it. Usually as an advertising vehicle for their more overt content on adult sites. It's actually an interesting complaint because TikTok takes a lot of heat for taking down a lot of benign content.

"that's still a large part of how they make money"

You base this claim upon what? Gut feeling?

The viral videos that everyone knows from TikTok contain approximately zero instances of "seedy" content. They are people doing everyday things. AFV style funny videos. Some guy drinking cranberry juice and riding a skateboard. Etc.
No I was clear. The US should have stopped Hitler at the start of 1939 but we waited until Pearl Harbor to get involved. It was a clear moral failing on our part. As to the USSR, the western powers were willing to risk the planet to stop them in the Cold War and I am not saying anything different here about China. If the USSR had invaded West Germany there would have been war. I am saying if China invades Taiwan it should be treated the same way. Are you saying that NATO should not have defended West Germany in the event of an invasion by the USSR because it risk the end of the human race? Tell me where do you draw the line? It was clear when it was Europe to most people yet some people seem to have an issue when the same logic is applied to non-Europeans of Taiwan.

Democracy is worth defending even at the risk to the human race. We as a race are not worth our own existence if we do not understand that.
I look at it the other way: that's why Europe is a better place to live than US

we can chose to live in Rome, Berlin, Paris, Prague, Barcelona, Vienna, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Bruxelles, Lisbon etc. etc. and find something meaningful to do, we don't need to move to the only place where all the things happen.

One thing which I always thought of, but which the article doesn't mention, is age. Especially older people seem more prone to cancer, so in my mind a lower life expectancy will naturally lead to a lower cancer rate, as people die before cancer "is able to get them". Or am I missing something?

From the worst: that a grumpy agressive guy can actually be this way because he care too much. ( cute, I know )

From the best : the value of small talk and forming personal bonds with EVERY person you talk to.

The second one took me a while. We were both leader of team that worked together and things were going great.

I noticed that his team would kill for that guy.

And also that he always seems to know someone that could help. In OPS, in IT, in sales, in the competitor … everywhere.

And then I started to notice the small talk, the jokes, the patience … that makes that guys a nice person to work with.

And then I also noticed that he was leading both of the team, without that being very obvious.
And I was not even mad about it. Everybody was exceeding target, we all got a nice bonus that year while having fun, why ruin it ?

I learned a lot from that smooth operator. ( all of that come on top of impeccable technical acumen. That play a role, too )

>The other is selling more cars than anyone else. It's less than 500.000 cars a year versus 2.8 million cars with just one brand from the VW group (out of 12).

Plus 231600 EVs sold in 2020 across all brands. It's no longer a battle between an EV company vs an ICE company. It's a battle between an EV company vs an ICE+EV company where the EV portion alone is half the size of the first EV company.

I’m glad to hear that.

I’d heard a lot of good things about coc.nvim so I recently switched to it from languageclient-neovim. I have to say I am not very impressed. I don’t care for the configuration format, it’s not as flexible as I’d like, I don’t like installing npm packages to configure language servers that I already have installed, and it just generally feels sloppy.

I guess I’m going to need to break my LSP config yet again as I migrate over to the native client. Hopefully this is the last time…

Half the problem with politics these days is that people still see welfare as "pity and a hand out".

Welfare is one tool in a bag of economic tricks to keep a country prospering. A country without welfare is one that has most of it's smartest minds packing boxes in a factory somewhere because they can't afford to try and fail.

An uncomfortable fact of teaching is that it is 15% inspirational and highly nuanced technical leadership, and 85% unskilled labour.

When most of the job is rock breaking then it’s easy to see why the supply of new teachers is so high. Coupled with the romance of wanting to be that inspirational teacher, and the genuine privilege of wanting to work with young people, and it’s not hard to see how schools can get away with murder when it comes to pay.

Money isn’t the worst of it though. Alongside the low salary there’s also a huge risk of employers developing a them/us relationship. The involvement of unions exacerbated this, and schools are already high-rules / low-trust environments even before any of this kind of staff/management internecine conflict.

But: (1) I love working with kids; (2) while the job attracts good people and bad people, the good ones are great.
