Monthly lottery winners are a pretty poor basis for evaluating UBI since that is promoting an arbitrary individual to wealth - rather than providing a baseline income to a whole community. The effects of the later can easily be conceived to be quite different from targeted welfare. One of the common counter-arguments against UBI is that because the boon is applied across the board (and not just effecting the needy) that it will essentially cancel out and just cause a momentary bump in inflation - I think there are several very logical reasons that isn't the case but lottery winners are extremely poor experiments to disprove that theory.

As an example of how prevalent that counter-argument is please see all the siblings specifically about how UBI = inflation. (Also - I don't think this debate is settled - I think there are compelling reasons why UBI is not just free inflation... but there are also several reasons suggesting that it is - the UBI counter-argument is not at all illogical).
> if ubi is permanent…

The most likely outcome is that very quickly all the UBI money will be going to the few landlords and soon people will need "UBI plus a job" to pay rent and make ends meet.

And whilst the masses our back out in the wilds scrounging up their money, the landlord class will be consolidating into an every smaller group.

Inflation is what happens when too much money chases a limited supply of goods. And desirable housing is always limited.
I'll chime in as well from my 2020 XPS 17. This issue is incredibly frustrating. It's worth switching over, however I don't really know where to go for a premium laptop. I'm not very interested in a Mac. HP and Lenovo have given me tons of problems in the past (which is why I switched to Dell). From this thread it seems like several other vendors have similar problems to this Dell one. What options are there?

How long ago was this?

My experience about a year ago was the opposite, btrfs held up really well on a failing drive and I managed to copy the filesystem with 'btrfs send' without suffering any data loss or corruption as far as I've been able to tell. I also had a btrfs filesystem on an external drive with a lose USB plug that caused it to disconnect once in a while, and didn't have any corruptions or loss on that one either.
That assumes anything they did was actually libelous which is... unlikely.
The United States has the largest prison population in the world and the highest incarceration rate. Every time there is a crime thread on HN it is full of anecdotal stories about how we can be tougher on crime. It boggles my mind that this is the accepted framing.

You're not going to "see" the lives that wasted in prisons that would have been reasonably rehabilitated in other countries.

You would have to think the criminal justice system in the united states is extremely fair and that we have a dramatically different population to place such a high priority on the people that are possibly victims of crimes over people that are inappropriately incarcerated.

Mind you, that "current reducing != ended completely". While we are nowhere near being as performant as a Western European state, we are taking the correct steps even if for the wrong reasons (Covid pandemic).
Thanks. Yeah a lot of what the BCH people were saying at the time made sense to me, the fact that BCH flopped notwithstanding. I'm always suspicious of attempts to transact crypto in a way that isn't "on-chain" because it just intuitively seems like a way for our existing financial/legal power structures to undermine the ultimate authority of the blockchain. I'll have to do some reading on how LN actually works in current year, onion routing sounds like a great idea assuming that, unlike tor, it would be cost-prohibitive for one actor to just run 80% of the nodes and deanonymize you.
Thanks... i started reading, it read like a novel, talking about everything but the stuff i wanted to know, and yeah... I stopped reading.
Oh, I agree. See my other comment on this page, I said the exact thing you did! Most cases where blockchain is usable, alternatives are still simpler, unless you actually need it to be distributed and zero trust, blockchain probably doesn't make sense.

I was just pointing out how it can be done or how it might make sense, if you needed it for something where blockchain did actually make sense, but in the case of drivers licenses, I don't think it does.

One point in favor of a water route is you can carry a lot more stuff that way. Most of the migrations into the Americas were before animals other than perhaps dogs were domesticated and before the wheel was invented.

So anything you wanted to bring with you on a land route had to be carried by humans, dogs, or pulled on sleds by humans or dogs.

On a water route you could tow another boat or raft behind full of your stuff. (Rope was invented long before any migration to the Americas).
Poverty is more than an financial state. Giving away money to move someone from just below the poverty line - which is artificially low - to just above that line is honorable, but "curing" poverty is not that simple. Unfortunately, articles like this help the myth persist.

More political magician-y mumbo jumbo.

It's also important to ask: at what cost? If these monies were financed by printing more money, then that's a form of tax. It discounts all other money in circulation. Who does that hurt the most?

No doubt something should be done. Poverty is a cruel and unnecessary disease. But printing money...a one off??? Let's not over sell this. Unfortunately.

That is why I suggested a compatible dock with eGPU capabilities. That they haven't considered any way to support it all (even if it's only in the future) is a bit baffling.

Perhaps they will come out with an eGPU enclosure that can just be plugged into an existing swappable expansion bay, and won't need any special design changes? One can hope.

What Apple employee unrest over remote work says about the future of the office
In news organizations fact-checkers are separate roles or department to independently check the statements made by journalists in their work. It's an additional layer. Same as there are grammar and style checkers although journalist can write correctly, some better some worse. And journalists work is not limited to checking facts alone.

At least that was the case before the checkers started to get fired to save cost because online you can easily change errors after publication.
In addition to the design aspects, there's also supply chain aspects to worry about. Volvo could have long-term contracts with leather makers for x amount per year of leather for y number of years. Eliminating leather while contracts are still running mean that you'll be wasting leather or desperately trying to find a buyer until that contract runs out.
I've never heard of 1.5/6 being a thing. Would be a red flag for me but of course I only have the context you mentioned.

> A lot of people in the US think that Russia is the main enemy of the US.

That depends on how you define "the main enemy". I'm not sure why the distinction between #1 and #2 enemies matters, anyway.

Russia may not be the #1 enemy, but it is certainly among the top 2 enemies and perhaps the most likely to succeed in destabilizing the US as the most powerful country.

China is attempting many of the same tactics as Russia, but their success seems to be more limited (and their open authoritarianism, as opposed to Russia's façade of democracy, is easier for Americans to identify as objectively evil, regardless of their level of hostility toward the US).

Has there been any data that indicates that policing has an impact on murder rates ever? Even the murders in the CHAZ in Seattle at the height of defund the police were much more spur of the moment incidents. Not the type of thing someone is likely to reconsider if the police force were doubled.

And given that the murder rate increase was national and not regional, it seems much more likely that it was nationally impacted. Maybe something like a pandemic which led to social stresses, economic stresses, and increases in gun purchases.

Another city in Washington, Spokane, saw about a tripling in homicides in 2020 and there was no "defund the police" movement in that city, no reduction in police force -- and also has a Republican mayor and a generally much more conservative take than Seattle.

You're simply reaching for a narrative rather than looking at the data.
Neural network verification is one of the most exciting research areas IMO, but is still little understood! The maths behind it are beautiful btw.

It's almost as though the framing of "tougher" vs "softer" is a ridiculous over-simplification of the matter.

We should be tougher on violent crime and softer on non-violent crime.

EDIT: I want to amend this to say that even the increase in nuance that I just suggested is probably not nuanced enough. Some kinds of violent crime we are probably too harsh on, and some kinds of non-violent crime (e.g. serious white collar financial crime, or certain types of safety/environmental violations at scale) we could probably stand to be a bit harsher on.

Most claimed “simpler” languages are only being used for backend systems, i.e go, BEAM languages. There’s a reason that any language where UI needs to be considered has used what C# has. The flow of code is simplified because you don’t want to be on callback hell.
Point taken, but to be fair on their end; their design philosophy for phones ushered a phenomenon where we have access to millenia of information gathered through Eons of research at any place with a phone connection, in a form factor that makes it easy and convenient to carry and consume. These devices can also transmit video or audio in real time to anyone in the world (again, with a connection) with services not tied down by international toll booths.

It's the most Star Trek like thing that has been achieved in the real world since the cell phone itself was invented. Google picked up the lower end slack and made these devices available in even some 2nd world countries, but Apple did pave a way.

The indictment is about whether the lawyer who sent a computer scientist's DNS analysis lied to the FBI about whether he was bringing the analysis on behalf of anyone. He said No, but was working for the Clinton campaign at the time. The indictment doesn't challenge the contents of the analysis and the lawyer claims this was unrelated to his work on/for the campaign. They better have some hard evidence that the Clinton campaign directed him to go to the FBI or the Trump special prosecutor will lose this case badly.

As least try and understand the details of what is going on.

"""

It's more than just Sinema and Manchin, that's why I said a few corporate democrats: https://www.businessinsider.com/house-democrats-threaten-hol...

I'm pretty left leaning by American standards and no fan of Trump, but you can't give Biden too much credit for reduction in childhood poverty when it's mostly due to the expanded unemployment benefits that were first before Biden was elected.

When the police steal my cash, I'll take that hit (it has never happened yet). I do not have a cellphone nor does my laptop scan for WiFi networks. I do need to get that cash, so I do go to cash machines to get it from my account. Those machines are generally close to where I live, but I guess the state already has my address, so not much new is revealed there (my location near where I live a couple of times a week).

I do buy a few things (books, DVDs) online, and pay with a card -- that reveals my address to that business, but that would be the same if I sent cash (or a cheque), they do need an address to which to deliver. As I say, I assume the state has my address, but there's no need to give them my location when I'm not there (nor to tell them when it is I'm not there).

So returning to your assertions:

"we already track ourselves by virtue of using credit cards at every business we visit"

speak for yourself, I pay with cash

"The three major credit rating agencies already have complete knowledge of every place I visit, and every single thing I buy"

That's your choice, they have no idea where I go, nor what I buy except that I'm rather keen on French novels and 1960s Italian films. Mind you, since I'm in the UK those suspicious activities might land me in trouble with the Brexit police [looks nervously out of the window].
I like the idea of testpoints in code that can be switched on or off, an idea originally from the hardware side. Modifying the testpoints to allow switching between different test implementations is a useful generalization of the idea.

The qualifications of these "historians" appear to be that one was a secondary school theater teacher and the other was a medical doctor. So... there's that.

Also, as others have noted, this book is one giant conspiracy theory, and reads as such. Here's an excerpt from the introduction:

> No one outside the favored few knew of the society's existence. Members understood that the reality of power was much more important and effective than the appearance of power, because they belonged to a priveleged class that understood how decisions were made, how governments were controlled and policy influenced. Party-political allegiance was not a given prerequisite for members; loyalty to the cause of Empire was. They have been variously referred to obliquely in speeches and books as the "Money Power," the "Hidden power" or the "Deep State." All of these labels are pertinent. We, however, have called them, collectively, the "Secret Elite."

The Kindle sample goes on to use that phrase "Secret Elite" 111 times.
Claiming a journalist makes "false claims" and is "misleading" could be injurious to their reputation as a journalist. Which would hurt them in their business or profession.

You should take that kWh/kg figure with a kg of salt. You need a heavy COPV tank to store hydrogen under pressure, a 100 kg tank might store only a few kg of fuel, take 400 liter to do so, and be comparable with a 30l conventional fuel tank:

The first thing that came to my mind wasn't anything to do with defunding the police, nor with releasing more people during the pandemic -- it was that folks in domestic violence situations during lockdowns spent a lot more than 30% additional time with their abuser, and had fewer options if they wished to leave, and fewer opportunities to prepare to leave
My impression, after viewing the documentary "Life Overtakes Me" some time ago, is that the answer to this question is: to avoid deportation by feigning mental illness.

A typical 4-year vesting plan at 500k/year gives 2M in "nominal" dollars. 2x that to account for stock market growth, 2x for work life balance (startups demand 2x more of your time than FANG), 3x for dilution and other startup shenanigans, 5x for the risk (how many C series get bought for 1B within 5 years?), and you need a 60x2M offer from a startup to just match FANG. 120M looks outrageous only because it's fake money: 95% of the time you won't get anything.

Considering that the article points out the US's abnormally high child poverty rate, the difficulty the US has in actually getting the new child tax credits to those to whom it is warranted (since you have to file a tax return to get it, and the very poorest don't file tax returns), points out that the credits are only temporary and their permanent extension is not guaranteed, the article comes across not as "everything is fine" but rather as "this is a start, not the end--now keep at it!"

I'm saying that in attempting to control the reorg you're proposing, its adherents would fail and not achieve the described reorg. Perhaps a reorg would happen, but there is no way to achieve the hermetically sealed version of a reorg that would need to happen to achieve what you're describing.
> One of our product managers is a grandmother

> However, she has frequently had insights and observations that none of us would have come up with

> So yes, absolutely, unless your company wants to be in a very specific niche, the lack of true diversity in your company is a drag on your success.

The conclusion you are drawing here, does not follow from your two observations above. The fact that your product manager has had insights, that nobody else had in team, does not mean a "lack of true diversity in your company is a drag on your success." Some diversity may help in certain situations and in others not. The above mentioned insights and observations might just be the result of competence and more experience of the product manager or incompetence of the rest of the team. There may be many other reasons. We don't know. We have one observation and should refrain from generalizing. That this is because of more diversity is just a speculation. A speculation that fits an often repeated narrative, but that doesn't make it a logical conclusion.
