You could introduce a negative income tax (to implement UBI) and then increase your tax credits by joining community groups or going to college. Competitive groups could then receive more tax credits based on their ranking.

Instead of career tracks you will be offered volunteer tracks.

However, this is a complex solution to the problem and it is prone to being gutted because it will be seen as socialist and once there is full employment politicians will demand everyone to quit their clubs the same way they demand welfare recipients to quit today.
5.5 bits is also the average information content of a single run of the GHZ experiment. In this setup three parties independently choose a binary detector setting and each observe a binary outcome. The first two parties observe an independent random bit regardless of their settings. If an odd number of the parties have their setting "on", then the third party also observes an independently random bit (6 bits total to record, 3 for the settings and 3 for the observations). But if an even number of of the three settings are "on", then the third party's observation is completely determined by the other 5 bits. When the settings are chosen randomly these two possibilities are equally likely so on average it takes 5.5 bits to record the results of the experiment.

Calculus is the art of approximation and intuition in math. Newton couldn't have destroyed the way we used to calculate pi if he hadn't extended the binomial theorem into other sets of numbers.
It took you…

> applying them to forums is controversial.

> is exceedingly controversial

You have misinterpreted, or I have misphrased. Yes I agree that the debate is not settled yet, and there are people on both sides of it. But you can't go around pretending like things like common carrier laws (which do similar things as this proposal!), don't already exist, and that we don't have existing legal precedent for similar types of laws.

And by saying that common carrier laws are "uncontroversial", I am using a different legal precedent, that already exists, to show that you cannot just dismiss all of this stuff out of hand.

There are lots of people, who do actually support the idea of expanding these laws. We wouldn't be talking about this at all, if this were some wild, completely out there idea.

It takes a while to change laws anyway, so it doesn't happen overnight.

> in one context and apply it in another context

But the context is similar. This is all about private businesses and communication companies, and things that philosophically have a lot of similarities.

Yes they are not exactly the same. But they have similarities, and therefore you cannot just dismiss it all, by saying that they are different.

> Now you're saying no, I can't do that either

I am saying that you cannot frame this as something obviously authoritarian, when we already have laws that cover similar things.

You can't just say that these proposals for new laws, which lots of people are proposing, is some crazy thing, that has no previous examples.

Yes, I agree that those laws do not currently apply to other things. But the point is that it is not some huge change, requiring us to get rid of the 1st amendment, when we already do similar things, which yes are not exactly the same, but are still similar.

> First, it begs the question

The issue is that you are actually begging the question, by discarding these ideas wholesale, by saying that they infringe on companies rights.

Yes, I agree that the debate is not settled yet. Thats why people are talking about it. Instead, I am pushing back on you, dismissing all of this, out of hand, and claiming that this is some crazy, new, out there thing when it isn't, and we have similar laws, doing similar things.

> you're talking about associating with content

The same thing applies to phone companies. So that is an existing legal precedent, and therefore you cannot just say that what I am proposing is extremely different than current laws, when we already force phone companies to associate with content.

Of the 3 assertions in the abstract, the obviously false one is #2: "Any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history". When you realize that running a simulation of the universe requires more processing power than is available in the universe, this is very obviously false.

I respect people who believe in a bearded White omnipotent homophobic God who lives in a sky palace more than I respect people who believe in this insane drivel about the probability of living in a simulation. At least the former were indoctrinated as their brain was forming.

Even if they have no observable differences, they still make different metaphysical claims. If I see Schrödinger's cat alive, many world claims that there actually also exists a dead cat while Copenhagen claims that there is only one alive cat. You may argue that the differences are irrelevant for all practical purposes but you don't get to claim that there are no differences between different interpretations.

>They honestly think that if they raise their prices to get the same profit (NOT increase, just to keep it the same!) they have been getting, no one will come anymore because the cost is too much.

That may be true, but you mentioned they're in the midwest. So am I. I'm in the heavy hitter, Chicago, but I'm from Smalltown, Midwest. I can say that NOTHING is free. Everything is a trade off. All those years of low taxes? Yeah, no one has any money in the midwest. Raising prices may well run people off. They already got the reduced-risk benefit of the midwest for decades, ability to own the building, lower taxes. Having a poorer local clientele was the price for those securities. That was part of the trade off.

You aren't just flat out "getting a better deal" as they probably felt, doing business in the midwest vs coasts. It is absolutely not outright just a "better place to do business". Other than perhaps our environmental stability (the greenhouse effect matters less, no fires, abundant fresh water, no fault lines outside of the St. Louis locale, etc.), those things are starting to matter in a big way, but are of limited benefit to a restaurant.

They already took the benefits from this area. All comes out in the end, but generally the midwest grants you more stability/security, while you end up poorer at retirement than someone that earned more dollars on the coasts. Same end result for them, just like the rest of us.

That's an assumption which critics of these algorithms would disagree with.
Bitcoins are not really fungible. There are already services that provide "fresh, minted straight to your wallet with no history" bitcoins, which cost more than normal "used" bitcoins.
These rides are being sold for a few hundred thousand dollars. Before New Shepard and SpaceShipTwo, the only private tourists to space paid tens of millions. That is a huge decrease in price! Now any millionaire can afford it, and it is just within reach of an upper middle class person willing to save for a significant part of their life. Some people couldn't care less about this, but others have dreamed of flying into space ever since Yuri Gagarin, and it is finally a reality.

And like all things, the price will go down. Not as fast as I'd like for these specific crafts, but they seemed like a good target at the time their development began.

In China, you need to show your passport/identity card to buy the ticket, since free movement is restricted in this way. Therefore, they have to check when you board the train.

In Europe, Japan and Taiwan etc, it's a good idea to be there a few minutes before (especially if you're not familiar with the station), but it's always less time than required for getting on a plane.
I wouldn’t actually say that, but it may be more of a problem of ecosystem maturity and priorities than it is one of interface stability: I work under Linux and love it, but getting a 20- or 30-year-old program to compile or run under it is surprisingly more painful than doing the same for a Win32 program of similar age, despite the ostensible stability and undeniably better documentation, including that of historical issues, in the former case. (To be fair, getting an old DOS program to compile or run anywhere except a full VM is an absolute nightmare, even if it can sometimes be offloaded to DOSBox maintainers.)

In the west this is still growing, but in Japan at least, it's way more common, at least regarding 'light novels' (kinda of like YA?). I'm not sure about earning money through subscriptions, but there people who write to those sites (similar to Wattpad) often struck a deal with a publisher to adapt the 'web novel' to a 'light novel'[0]

Edit: I know that for webtoons (korean comics) subscription is turning into a reality, at least in English markets. Not sure about how's it in Korea though

I wish more businesses would allow their employees to do this. One of my first jobs was at a call center, and as soon as the customer stopped being professional, I would give them a single warning, and then say "since you can't remain professional, I'm going to end the call" and hang up. It was amazing! Why should your employees have to take verbal or other types of abuse from your customers?
Had to do with bringing a large but simple database to a web interface for potential public perusal. At the time me and my surplus sparcs were bidding $5/record for this (billions of records total in the real job), where the "professional estimates" were 10x that. I had a demo of the full dataset, the other effort was using a 1/20th subset.

The problem was no one actually cared to look at that data, which kindof made the entire thing moot. The data itself had to do with government spending; which added layers of bullshit that I tried to avoid even hearing of.
Based on the hundreds, perhaps thousands of critical vulnerabilities that are due directly to parsing user input in memory-unsafe languages, usually resulting in remote code execution, how's this for a threat model: attacker can send crafted input that contains machine code that subsequently runs with the privileges of the process parsing the input. That's bad.

> This was a good reminder that I need to switch banks.

When you do, try your best to do what I've done ever since my mortgage processor screwed up and double charged me: never use anyone else's online services; do all the banking that's possible from your bank's online bill pay. At least that way the people who are pushing money out of your account via automation report up through the same people who manage the rest of your account ;)

Also, credit unions seem to be happy to let you maintain an account with a balance but no fee in a way that banks aren't. As a result, I have my main checking account that I use for everything, and a second account at a completely unrelated institution where I keep 30 days worth of cash. I spent $10 for che(que|ck)s and an hour of time getting it set up, which was well worth buying me a month of insulation against any number of risks.

Well, that's right. There is no meaningful difference in the sense that they both have to serve files from a storage backend, over a port to a frontend. I was comparing ftp folder permissions with webserver htaccess permissions. What I really ment was access control.
This is not right - pretty much all modern wallet software generates brand new key pairs each time there is a transaction, thereby creating a new address. The unspent utxo's (unspent transaction outputs) are then sent to the new address and the old address can (but shouldn't) be used.

> I don't know how we got to the point where a no-skills-required job that anyone with a pulse can learn to do in a few hours suddenly became required to support a family of four.

That's an odd way of looking at it. Surely what happened first isn't that the expectations of fast food jobs changed out of the blue. Could it instead be that other jobs which adults worked to support their families went away?
Down to what? Branson advertises it as "democratizing space" but surely you can't expect even 99% of the world's population to comfortably afford space travel in the next 50-100 years?
that's not the situation of "employees quit to collect unemployment", which is commonly claimed and is what i was calling a lie. the article at the root of this discussion documents that employees are indeed actually quitting, which disqualifies unemployment.

but anyway, for those who do collect unemployment, job search requirements are in effect now. unemployment offices are requiring workers to apply to jobs and document their search. they cross-reference with employers and will actually revoke unemployment if job offers are declined. if restaurants still can't hire staff under these forced conditions, it's because they are simply worse than other jobs available, and perhaps even worse than no income.
This is what a telescope sees when Starlink crosses it's view during an observation. They have a picture of what they look like in the article too btw...

There was the (hilariously unsuccessful) attempt to review bomb Factorio a few weeks ago, after some fans got upset about a video the lead dev linked to in a blog post. It seems to be most common in creative industries, eg. Video games, music, movies, etc. Probably because those are the products that people get the most emotionally attached to.
You do realize that Islam is essentially a Christianity’s sequel, right?

The only thing preventing restaurants from changing their prices is the 'penguin on an iceberg' issue. You may be correct in raising your prices, but if other restaurants are willing to lose money longer before they raise their prices your business may suffer/fail because of it before the rest of the market changes their prices/wages.
I had a Russian guy basically steal my design for a solid state laser cutter, and pretend to be me when talking to investors. The whole thing was very unpleasant. Our current agreement is that he is to stay away from either of the countries I live in. To be fair, he has since cleaned up his act: he stopped using my laser design and come up with his own.

"An entirely separate area is surveillance and detection: Apple already performs some remote telemetry to detect processes doing weird things. This kind of telemetry could be expanded as much as possible while not destroying user privacy. While this wouldn't necessarily stop NSO, it would make the cost of throwing these exploits quite a bit higher - and make them think twice before pushing them out to every random authoritarian government."

Apple could do more spying (excuse me, "telemetry") "as much as possible" in addition to NSO... because it would make the the competitor's spying more expensive.

This could be a unilateral decision to be made by Apple without input from users, as usual.

Any commercial benefits to Apple due to the incresed data collection would be purely incidental, of course.

Apple and NSO may have different ways of making money, but they both use (silent) data collection from computer users to help them.

> I'm not sure where this idea comes from that hard work is as valuable/more valuable than skilled work. But it seems to be a pervasive idea.

Well put. The market values features. With present system engineering approaches, the path of least resistance is to add complexity to enable said features and reap the financial rewards. It takes more effort to build smaller attack surfaces, so nature tends to avoid that path. Regulation helps little. Security is not additive, it is subtractive. Less is more. There is very little incentive to simplify, except in niche segments. So, zero surprise commodity systems fail so horrendously.
This isn't an IRS change. It was a public behavior change.

The owners always had to withhold taxes from their wait staff, just as your taxes are withheld by your employer.

The difference is that since almost all tips are now on credit cards, the business owner doesn't need to assume the % sales to withhold, and withholds based on virtually all of their employees tips.

The end result is that the wait staff can't commit tax fraud by not reporting tips. The business owner didn't have to report cash tips, only withhold based on a % of sales. They still withhold on % of sales if actual tips are less than the % of sales.
Contrary to some misunderstandings of it, it doesn't "add" extra worlds; it removes the concept of "wave function collapse", and leaves all the other known laws of quantum mechanics completely unchanged.

Yes, it gets rid of the collapse postulate, but no, it actually introduces many worlds. You can wiggle a bit around, claim that prior to the wave function collapse there are also many worlds in Copenhagen or whatnot, but in the end many worlds makes a metaphysical claim that two cats exist, one dead, one alive while Copenhagen claims only one cat exists in the end.
Use free market logic instead of making things up. If a billionaire has enough money to do nothing then why would he do something? It's because the tradeoff is worth it. Business owners have a large stake in their business. They can get billions out of a company.

For a minimum wage worker it is absolutely trivial to see that the tradeoff isn't worth it and subsequently they behave predictably like a lazy person. People acting according to free market logic deserve the stick. Do you see the problem?
