To understand the parent commenter's question (in a US-centric way) you have to examine the political-economic parallels, historical and contemporary, between the US and Nordic countries and decide whether the same structures and conditions exist or not. Presumably, the parent commenter was hinting at the way by which US elites in the 1600s developed a theological basis for social-economic stratification which divided and maligned non-property holders in order to maintain the status quo the effects of which reverberate to this day. Nordic countries, being perceived by the US as being racially homogeneous presumably wouldn't have be susceptible to the same divisive forces, but with shifting racial demographics, inch themselves closer to those same initial conditions.

To answer the original question, it depends on the likelihood that social divisiveness foments either spontaneously or cultivated purposefully. Someone with more knowledge on topics like the Sweden Democrats, Norway's Progress Party and their progress toward social division would be better at addressing it than me.
If someone in the 2000s had thought "I don't like C and I don't like OpenSSL so I'm going to write my own Ada SSL/TLS", we would have yet another implementation of Bleichenbacher's RSA error oracle. It is not actually that easy to put a safe TLS implementation together; you need to study the TLS protocol and implementation vulnerabilities, and they're not all assembled in one nice place.

I think part of the problem is that any localized UBI that doesn’t include everybody within an actual immigration border (ie the whole US, whole Schengen area, etc) will either 1. have adverse selection as people who want the UBI will move to go get it 2. need to means test somehow (eg live in the state for at least two years) and thus not be universal.
Your #1 is something I have thought about as well. Specifically, if the higher income people don't need the money, they will invest it while the lower income people are spending it. Although this might be offset by the increased tax burden (who knows how that will look). If everyone is getting this money, then I would also expect some inflation, which would likely hit the lower income people harder than the wealthy.

For #4, they will never run out of money. It will be worth less from inflation. Or they will take it from the people that have it.
gdu added that feature just a couple of releases ago.
It’s super rare to be intellectually gifted and a world-class athlete. There was an NFL offensive lineman with a published mathematical paper as well, but I didn’t know about Turing’s physical talents until now.

I don’t know of any other instances of brilliant people being paid or awarded medals for their physical abilities, so I personally found it interesting.

I guess the parent comment was for those of us that were intrigued by the intersection of top-tier physical and mental abilities.
yeah, but intentionally misspelling words to include a silent 'k' is a fun gimmicy thing. GNU does similar do they gnot?
Heroku is a good comparison. Beanstalk is a way to specify the resources you need without needing to understand aws very well - AWS automagically provisions things for you and replaces instances when they become unhealthy. Compare to CloudFront, which as the declarative way to specify what you need but requires you to know AWS in depth.
> With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil — that takes religion.

A great physicist without any doubt, but this quote in my opinion is symptomatic of a very shallow analysis when it comes to religion.

Without religion (or some other set of values, even secular values) it’s very difficult to define good or bad. You can come up with some general idea of treating other like you would like to be treated yourself, but the devil is in the details and there’s a ton of details! Also, many bad people did good deeds because of religion.

In my case, the proposal is contractually binding, so the contents of the sprints are fixed. Also, the customer won't be available during the period when the work takes place (holidays in Europe, you know), so they wouldn't be able to provide input anyway.

Of course I'm assuming that they'll kick us off next week. Right now the project is in the "let's delay starting until missing the deadline is guaranteed" stage. One more week, and then my careful planning will have become officially impossible and it will be panic all around, and demands that I work days, nights, and weekends to make up for the delay they themselves caused.

Do you want to guess who isn't allowed to go on holiday because of this incredibly urgent project? :-(
I’ve been waiting for this to be true, but right now it’s still a really hard sell to move to a first-gen non-Tesla EV after owning a Tesla. Mostly this is because of the mature supercharger network, but it’s also because the non-Tesla shipping numbers are all still so pathetically low, indicating they aren’t really “in this market” yet (this matters to me both as a customer and as a person who wants to see EV adoption grow rapidly.)

However, you need an interface between our money (Dollar / yen / euro) to buy it or exchange it against goods, which makes it prone to state taxation / regulation.

So now I see it less interesting than option trading, as you need to put your hand in the dirt to get your crypto, keep your private key safe, etc. for at the end having the same legal obligation for tax income.
I really can't stand these long-form articles that just take ages to get anywhere.

For example, at some point the article notes he didn't get to the truth until two epiphanies that obliterated his self-image.

Then there's literally 9 paragraphs of other text. Then it follows with the 10th paragraph: "Then came the Epiphanies."

Long-form is great, but it feels as if each page is just loaded with stuff other than the point of the article. If it's written in poetic form, contains beautiful photography, or actually interesting anecdotes, sure. But none of it was there and the larger point never did arrive, either.

As for the Victoria man... completely misguided. Every street he walks on, every piece of cloth he wears, the coffee he drinks, the food he eats, the phone he uses, the internet he uses, was produced or maintained by someone else. Money is merely a medium of exchange to allow people to exchange their contribution to society, for other contributions, in a feasible (i.e. not barter-based) manner. There's tons of legitimate criticisms on capitalism, on our economic structures, on unequal opportunity/ability, monopolies, corruption, concentration of wealth etc etc, which makes our socioeconomic system imperfect. But the idea that money (as an invention/tool) is the root of the problem is entirely misguided and frankly, entirely unfounded. Nothing in this article really substantiates this wild claim he makes, and nowhere does the interviewer even remotely challenge him on it. Unfortunate that I had to read the whole thing to find that out.
Workers receive compensation for their labor. They aren't entitled to future profit that results from their labor. Otherwise, I'm "exploiting" Apple for make profit off of my work laptop.

> $60k per tent site per year...It would be cheaper to rent apartments at current market rates, even in San Francisco.

That's $5k per month. Absolute best case, that's two one-bedroom apartments, so 6 people? Surely there are more than 6 people at the tent site.
I guess "feel" might not be the exactly right word here but the "pain" is.
I think there needs to be a push to make it possible. It's kind of tiring having big corporations being the only ones who can do things.
I'd say that this type of jargonized writing makes articles extremely unaccessible. It would be pretty hard to understand without some pretty substantial roots in marxist, or social science literature. Ironically, that means most people working at an amazon warehouse wouldn't understand what it's trying to say.

Re: The relationships between labor and capital are not obvious.

Parts of that relationship are pretty damn obvious: people work for the owners of companies.

The only accessible part of this article quotes another article describing (in plain, un-jargonized english) about a local high school that teaches Amazon corporate culture, with financial sponsorship by amazon. Without that part, no one would have a hope of deciphering what the hell Amazon as “the major working-class space of suburban and exurban socialization,” whether or not I had spent my teenage years as a member of a red lace youth group.

This style of writing tells you more about the author than the thing they're writing about, and its totally meaningless to the uninitiated. Once you get used to it, you see every particular as derivative of the greater, abstract truth with no space for novel or dissident interpretations. That's not my opinion, it's George Orwell's, a lifelong socialist.

This isn't a criticism of Marx. It is a criticism of Marxism. 200 years ago, "alienation from the product of labour" meant something when he used it. It described a process that was taking place att. If you're "analysing" Amazon's influence on towns where they are the biggest employer, it means nothing. It certainly means nothing to workers.
Yeah, it's like dollars or gold, their value is zero too. There is no such thing as 'intrinsic value'. Value is always subjective.
Maybe… but most localities will allow you to do a background check.

As a former landlord, I can almost guarantee someone with the problems you mention will and felonies, poor rental references, and/or evictions. You can easily use those to legally disqualify a prospective tenant.

Regarding countries; when adjusting for gender and age, three countries have > 100 offenders per 1000 immigrant (table 3.3), namely Kosovo, Somalia and Iraq. The lowest rate is 26.8 for the Netherlands (or 10.1 for Oceania, but data not available per country).

Note that immigrants, in general, were underrepresented for some crimes (damage to property, drug-related) and overrepresented for others (ratios): 1.73 for theft, 1.5 for violence and abuse, 1.2 for trafic. When adjusted for age, gender, place of living, and occupational status, immigrants from Africa were overrepresented by 174% and 101% for violence/abuse and offending public order/integrity, respectively (p. 34).

From the abstract:

> [W]e use data on all immigrants, Norwegian-born persons with two immigrant parents and people in the remaining population who were 15 years or older and permanent residents as of January 1, 2010, and explore the proportion in each group that was charged with at least one offense committed between 2010 and 2013. The results show that both immigrants and Norwegian-born persons with two immigrant parents are overrepresented as registered offenders, with the rate of overrepresentation being highest in the latter group. Among immigrants, the overrepresentation is most substantial among family immigrants and refugees, as well as for individuals from African countries. For Asian immigrants the picture is more complex. Overall, Asian immigrants are overrepresented. However, while immigrants from certain Asian countries are similarly overrepresented, other Asian countries are underrepresented. Individuals from Western Europe and North America, as well as education immigrants, are underrepresented as well. The pattern is, with some minor exceptions, relatively similar for Norwegian-born persons with two immigrant parents. The patterns of over- and underrepresentation also apply to most types of offenses, except for drug offenses where most immigrant groups are underrepresented. Overall the overrepresentation is substantially reduced when we account for differences in age and gender, especially in the groups with the highest rates of overrepresentation – including Norwegian-born persons with immigrant parents. Place of residence and employment have limited explanatory power once the demographic differences are accounted for. For most immigrant groups a certain level overrepresentation persists also after sociodemographic characteristics are taken into account. It is, however, important to stress that the vast majority of individuals in all population groups were not registered as offenders during the period we consider.

I guess mean arbitrary in the sense that being born as a human is kinda arbitrary, in the sense that individual human perspectives themselves are arbitrary amongst the vast range of possible ways to experience or perceive, both human and beyond human.

Well and also in the sense that it takes some pretty arbitrary decisions to distinguish living from nonliving.

I don't mean that these distinctions are useless or unimportant, just that for the most part they may not be all that fundamental... You end up drawing lines in the sand.

For example, are you gonna exclude viruses from the tree of life? Why? Because viruses don't have any known local macroscopic motility? Because they rely too heavily on their environment ("host") to reproduce? Those are summaries of the arguments I've heard against viruses being alive, and imo they're pretty arbitrary.

On the other hand, viruses reproduce and are subject to selective pressures, as are most phenomena with a lifecycle and an external environment. So then if you include viruses are you gonna include RNA? What about reactions, e.g. combustion? Are these alive? Well then and what about consumer product/producer systems? Don't they have lifecycles of their own? Some feedback loops that cause selective pressures? Environments to survive and reproduce in?

It's fuzzy.

A lot of rational, materialistic categorizations of living vs unliving look to me like hunches based on assumptions about motility or consciousness, and might as well be reframed as "does it move?" or "can I communicate with it?" or "does it see me?"

Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan wrote a nice essay called "the uncut self" that's really great and related to this in my view. It's all about where the tendency to draw boundaries around "individual selves" when looking at living systems, boundaries that might not be so fixed or obvious when you look carefully.
Wi-Fi has entirely replaced Ethernet for me for almost 15 years. I also notice no difference these days with Bluetooth headphones. Both of these seem to act as replacements for their wired predecessors that fulfill the needs and expectations of most people. This is clearer when it comes to Ethernet, as the advantage of wireless networking is far greater than the advantage of wireless earphones. What more do you need to consider these replacements?
How is the design of the iPhone polarizing? It looks roughly like every other smart phone out there. That just seems like a bad example of the point you're trying to make.

I've used Arch for 12 years. But every time I reinstall, it takes me a long, long time to get everything working perfectly. It's painful, and requires a second machine to have the documentation handy. The documentation is good in the sense that it is thorough, but Arch refuses to have a preferred method of install. It refuses to have an opinion.

Rather than a sane default, the installation guide says "Install a bootloader. Click here for a list of 8 bootloaders"
"Click here to see 12 different partition managers" etc..

I feel I have to be an expert in every part of the system (Even things I'll never, ever touch again). It would be much better if the install guide chose the default and said "here's a link for other options if you prefer". Once the system is set up, I mostly just run pacup every day, with very few issues. But the install process seems deliberately complicated, and serves as gatekeeping.
Saying something is fake with your only reference being your claim that "you're a Finn", is pretty much meaningless.

Anything that has logic gates in it can be used to build out complex programs. Since Conways Game of Life allows for logic gates, you can build anything you want, albeit with a lot more processing power needed since it's built on an abstraction. You can even build Conways Game of Life with Conways Game of Life, like a sort of fractal program / quine.

You’ve hit the crux of the issue. Most people who push for these types of social changes have rarely been involved in the hard work.

They’re the “ideas” person. Same people who wanna give you 5% of their amazing idea so you can implement it.

i'd personally reframe this point to say that money should be injected directly where value is created, i.e., with labor. economic value is intrinsically a human endeavor, conjured into being by creating (or at least finding) value, not cornering and gatekeeping it. the moving of the injection point from greedy bankers to value creators (i.e. laborers) is one of the few points in favor of ubi, but of course, that could be done in a myriad of other ways absent of ubi.
