This is a pretty common question and should probably be in the FAQ.

If you search the archives, you can see plenty of people asking this and a few third-party sites that will notify you of comments.

Last year, dang posted this:

> I look at it this way: it's designed for engaged, prolonged discussion if and only if people continue to be interested enough in it to remember. If they aren't, activation energy falls below a certain threshold and attention naturally moves on to something else. That seems healthy for curious conversation, which fits the prime directive of HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

The basic idea behind income instead of housing/food is that individuals are better at figuring out their needs than the state.

Maybe that's a good thing. It's insane how people in service industries are treated - like they're less than human. Shifting some power to them and giving the job a little more of an air of dignity or status would probably help a lot.

And the pay would obviously go up. People would be willing to do the job if it means life or death, but not for minimum wage - and that's a good thing.
And you call it hodler news? I get that finding a good name is difficult but hodlernews? Is it because it almost sounds like hackernews?

Crypto has many interesting things. Hodling and price movements, while perhaps the most lucrative, are also the least interesting. At least, from a curiosity point of view.

Names I would think of are more like:

Blockchainthreads

Blockshardnews

I am not fully hitting the mark, but basically a more technical name or a sociocultural name that doesn’t sound too mainstream (I have a hard time thinking of one).

So, what you're basically saying is that your spouse had a job that was a net negative for her: compensation for the abuse was not sufficiently priced into her pay grade.

To me, your argument says that UBI will cause a re-evaluation of the income market, where undesirable jobs will have to be priced higher so that employers still can find the employees they need (and the services will have to be priced accordingly). I'm okay with that outcome.

(in this particular case: I suspect that private companies will very quickly add language to their contract that being abusive to their employees will void the contract -- I'm okay with that outcome as well. In the case of government services, that could mean that the person would be required to only interact through an intermediary, like a legal guardian or social worker)
Is it just me or is it impossible to mimic (and therefore test the psychology) of the real impact of UBI unless you implement it across a nation-state. For example, let's say you test in a small town in Minnesota. It's impossible to rule out variables such as federal taxes, healthcare costs, mobility, etc.

I therefore think its impossible to test UBI on the scale of the US for example.
I recently realized that some websites which aggregate data on people (the same annoying ones that come up when you google your name) advertise the fact that the email addresses have been "verified", including the fact that emails sent to the address don't bounce.

So that makes me wonder which percentage of spam emails are actually just checking that the email address is valid and active.
It depends if you just end up paying people not to work. Money doesnt just have some "value" you can share like a pie. The value in money is just the productive capacity of an economy.

If you're paying large numbers to do nothing, the value of that money plummets and people will starve.

Recall: 50% of the country make less than the median wage... UBI is going to have to be way below this to preserve the very wealth which UBI redistributes
Legislation mandating all platforms to allow for third party app stores to exist with zero functionality/feature penalties in terms of what those apps are able to do (Apple can't gatekeep certain features as only supported by Apple app store apps). I would dovetail this with legislation limiting app store cuts to 5%.
I greatly enjoyed the movie. They actually played it for us when I was in the military attending a course on space operations and we got to the subject of acquisitions.
The law ("Offentlighetsloven") is quite nuanced and take into account a lot of different situations and edge cases. The law does not only apply to politicians, but to every public servant in any position.

The law is available in Norwegian here, if you want to run it trough a machine translation service and have a look: https://www.regjeringen.no/no/dokumenter/nou-2003-30/id38285...
How much of that labor reduction was second jobs?
I think it’s the same reason people rarely choose frugal FIRE approach, that is, live spending as little as possible to optimise for early retirement. People generally have way too many desires for it too be enough. The pecking order dynamic, social pressure, etc, are far stronger forces I think.
> I would have thought that the usage of parseInt, was fairly obvious from the type-signature:

Blog author here. In hindsight yes it's obvious.

I think my problem was a lack of understanding of comptime types. They're a little different from C++ / Rust since they're passed as args. Looking back I think I found the Zig docs less "sticky" than other languages. The concepts are familiar but just new enough I don't understand and don't fully remember them.

There's a point while working on AoC that I wasn't sure if Zig had first-class runtime types or not. It has comptime types and it also has a TypeInfo built-in with some degree of reflection? Is that runtime reflection maybe? I think partially? I honestly don't know.

Either way I was confused. :)

I'm sure some will. Some won't. So what?

I'm not trying to be dismissive, but this strikes me as a "but some people will be upset!" argument, which seems irrelevant to whether the policy achieves its stated goals or not.
The definition of a Schema itself is typed of course (https://tinybase.org/api/store/type-aliases/schema/schema/) but I haven't thought of a way to then magically create developer-time definitions of a Schema on a Store. There is also a way to 'programmatically' enforce a Schema (https://tinybase.org/guides/schemas-and-persistence/mutating...) so you could (in theory) implement all sorts of wild and wonderful constraints.

I think for now you'll need to create your own local type definition that models the data you know is in the Store. But let me think a bit more about this.
I think I for the most part agree with you.

I think we're talking past each other because you are arguing for a reasonable comparison (recent US to current US), while I was arguing against the specific unreasonable comparison made in the original comment -- some imagined version of King's objective based on taking a single line of one out of his speeches vs the modern US.

Sidenote -- I'm not sure why you cut my quotes where you do. This most recent one changes the meaning of my sentence significantly by removing "but the original comment was that," which makes it clear that I'm responding to a specific argument. In fact, the quote you've come up with makes it look like I'm making the claim that I'm arguing against.
UBI might cover your food and rent, but it won't cover much past that. So if you want some beer money or a new videogame or whatever, you'll need to work.

And since after UBI every dollar after taxes goes to luxuries, a low income provides a lot more luxuries than it does before UBI, so it's actually a lot more appealing to work -- you see the benefits directly.
It's strange how I remember that there was a time where microsoft was the evil corporation and Apple was the cool underdog.

I mean microsoft didn't sell hardware, and now Apple sells hardware and software and takes a cut from software sales.
Cosine similarity is not a distance metric.
It's also worth pointing out that austerity would probably fail miserably given the specifics of our situation. The time for Austerity was maybe circa 2004 or 2011 when debt to gdp was half of what it is now. We are WAY past that point.

We are massively overleveraged, both externally and internally. If we just tighten our belt, we are going to cause a massive debt default deleveraging. Austerity works when a single sector is slightly over leveraged and just needs to shift numbers around for a year or two to make the math work. That's not even close where we are at. Every single sector of the US economy is massively overleveraged. There is no playing with the math. We either grow the pie (roughly, GDP) or the system needs to get massively overhauled. There is no "beautiful deleveraging" in Ray Dalio terms.

Through that lens, the choice is either inflate or massive systemic failure. It's not hard to see which direction we are heading if you do buy that premise.

The actual UBI element in Covid payments was minimal. Most of the money went into traditional unemployment benefits, which make low-income jobs unattractive by increasing the effective tax rate to something like 80% or 90%. That's one of the key issues UBI is supposed to fix.

UBI would require complete restructuring of income taxes and benefits. Everyone would receive a fixed sum every month, standard deductions and other common deductions/tax credits would go away, and you would pay something like 40-50% combined income/payroll tax for every dollar you earn.
Kind of on topic: Dare I ask, is there anything “web3” about your site? I ask out of curiosity, but also since it seems like a great opportunity to leverage…uh…whatever the hell is behind that term.

Off topic: what stack? What drove your decisions?
We've had that in the US for about the last two years, and it had the opposite result.
The level of understanding of copyright that these NFT "enthusiasts" have seems to be similar to their understanding of NFT's utility.
Most of the productivity gains go to the top percentage of people.
Despite massive gdp increases in 20 years wages havent budged.

If all the work was automated/outsourced those people would still make the same money.

These are the people who ostensibly will pay for UBI and automation/outsources is one of the cases for UBI.
I already know that most of the BLM protests were non-violent. Notice that in my comment I didn't mention BLM or any other particular movement - your assumptions are appreciated though.

Yes, several of these companies have come out of nowhere in the past decade and are now making low single digit millions in revenue. Huge growth, yes, but also, still a rounding error as far as the whole market is concerned.
Ethanol is corrosive while biodiesel usually cleans petroleum deposits out of fuel systems and lubricates well as it’s burned. The downside is particulate emissions, which can still cross into the bloodstream. The best combustion is no combustion unless you’ve got robust emissions controls on the exhaust system.

Two of my comments were purely expressing how I feel. Third one was tldr of my past experiences. Only the part under lines seems confronting, which is not that much and hardly a whole thread. I am really unsure about what corner I am supposed to lock myself in with these.

Also, it was repeated experience that has nothing to do with my current team. I am not in my first team and learned those lessons in the past ones.

And really, not every code review comment will improve you. Acknowledging that significant amount of them are pure preferences or even someone being wrong is not refusal to improve. And yet another category of them are half baked ideas. Just that, people give comments for variety of reasons and you have to manage them all.
This is an awesome idea. With something like GPT3 you could probably keep them going for a really long time. I have to imagine that if something like that became (somewhat) common, it would really cause some changes in how spammy sales works.
I don't have that issue. In general, spam goes into the spam folder, which I can conveniently ignore. This wasn't the case some years ago. I might occasionally mark something as spam. I occasionally check the spam folder. I tell myself this is to make sure I didn't miss anything but realistically, it is so I can laugh at the ridiculousness. Only rarely does something I want get put in the spam folder.
If UBI could be implemented in around the same cost as the welfare programs it replaces, it would have a net zero effect on inflation. The downside of nearly all current forms of welfare (in the U.S.) is that they largely enforce the poverty gap. You get to a point where a small increase in pay causes a large decrease in benefits, and you become trapped unless you can get a large enough pay increase to jump the gap.

The two big ifs are: would UBI be the same cost as current welfare programs, and can we actually get rid of current welfare if we roll out UBI?
There is a tremendous amount of overhead involved in current welfare programs, so it's not unreasonable that the first question is could be resolved. Politically, the second issue seems unlikely to be implemented.
Comments like this make me glad that I made the thread. HN can be pretty cool sometimes.
No, just admit that I got you. Show me a single case of a persons skin being green from birth. So are we supposed to think it’s physically impossible for the human body to make its skin green? It is well within the realm not only of physical possibility but also plausibility. A persons cells can manufacture all kinds of molecules, including green ones. Just because something is strange to you and you’ve never heard of it doesn’t mean it’s physically impossible. The machinery of metabolism is very complex and it controls energy and fat utilization. It’s the machinery that drives the metabolic behavior of the human body, not the laws of thermodynamics. I’m right.

You say you want to see a fat person starve. You also need to see the one million other malfunctions of biological pathways that are responsible for the behavior that we are used to seeing in the human body. There are one million things we have never seen because of the astounding reliability of the human body as a machine. Just because you haven’t seen these malfunctions doesn’t mean that there’s nothing under the hood.

If you want to see an example of metabolic disorder that is even more strange, even more bizarre then look at African sleeping sickness. If you think that it’s too weird for a person to not burn fat, how about a person who cannot make energy of any kind out of what he eats?
Ask HN: Is it a good idea to use AWS Lambda for ETL Pipelines?
We are working on an OSS for ETL (Typhoon data orchestrator) and we are thinking about using AWS Lambda as the backend. The benefit is that it has a built in scheduler and we don't need to build our own. We can also spawn multiple Lambdas to scale concurrency.

Do you think this would be a sensible option? Would the 15 minutes running time be a deal breaker?
A file system is simply a system for storing files.

IMO, they'd be much more helpful/accessible with some default examples. For example, the graph algorithm and logic expression tools just drop you into a blank canvas.

I am sympathetic but if you inject it into every thread you will probably get banned and unfortunately it will be correct to do so.

Hacker news is about aggregating interesting things to read not a collection of grievances. For example this thread is about tech and if half of it was random grievances it would be a shitty website. Asking someone if they sympathize with your issue and asking them if you can paint it on the side of their house will get you two very different answers.

You and other tenants need to get together and either sue or more broadly look at how misdeeds by landlords are handled in your city and or state.
This OP is two hours old and has more votes and comments than most of the front page stories, yet it's dropped to the second page.

It's their choice to work. Might take a generation or two to not be outraged based on how we were raised, but that would seem to make it not unjust.
The spiky view of n-spheres is due to all of their volume getting concentrate next to the axes - the proportion of volume which is less than ε away from an axis to the entire volume of the sphere tends to 1 exponentially with n, which leads to the spiky visualization as we imagine 3d but with more axes.

I think a better title is, "What to do if you find yourself working at a dysfunctional company."

You may have started at a wonderful company that is acquired or for some other reason becomes dysfunctional. The place isn't dangerous, and the pay covers the bills, but you are losing market value (skills are dated, less relevant). Changing jobs is a pain, it could be bad timing for some reason, and perhaps you lack the experience or training (certs) you want at the next place. You may be jumping out of one pot into another, or worse, into the fire itself. In this case, this approach makes sense to me.

However, I have to agree with the majority of the comments, avoid getting into one in the first place. Don't seek them out, and if you arrive and it's bad, get out quick.
Probably the hardest working people that I've seen are recent immigrants, doing literally the shittiest work in the shittiest conditions for people who probably had a lot of advantages set up for them and never worked remotely as much or with as much abuse, and who are genuine monsters.

The prime minister of Canada is not rich and powerful because he worked hard enough as a teacher. He became a teacher because his former prime minister dad set him up very well, with nothing else to do but fuck around doing dumb peasant things. Ya, he worked hard, but never had to worry about anything from day 1. His former prime minister dad only did the exact same thing after his dad made a ton of money in oil and gas.

Elon Musk's dad was a literal explorer who made his money in... mining.
Which also takes out minerals and fluoride which you do want. It also is a big expense, and in many parts of the world, the municipal water is tasked with doing this kind of quality assurance for you.
Somehow, I want to answer "neither". I find air dried towels much more absorbent and pleasant to use after a shower. They give that nice feeling of "OK and now I'm dry.", much like a bar of soap leaves that feeling of "OK and now my hands are clean" (especially compared to a very oil-rich liquid soap).

But I didn't have to get used to this, I just immediately preferred it.
OK, Another reference is [1], that agrees with the result given by the OP.

I'm not trying to do research here, I'm just boggling at the unintuitive result, and trying to see if there might be a flaw in the chain of logic. The fact that this is "well known" is enough to scare me off from barking up this particular tree.

One thing that's been made clear in the last two years is that even a very very measly increase to unemployment can have huge impact. And unemployment runs out after a while, and the increases have been tiny. And unemployment makes you jump through hoops, is very stressful, and wastes a lot of your time.

I expect that UBI could start off very small and still have huge impact. A quick search shows that median income can range from ~40k-80k state to state. I'd bet you could radically change this country for way less than that.

No, this has been supported by scientists since way before this pandemic as an easy proxy for air circulation, which has been known for over a century to reduce transmission of respiratory diseases. If anything it's a wonder that it took so long.

There was also a local WM but I don't remember seeing anybody use it.
My guess is that inflation would go through the roof resetting it back where the UBI wouldn't be enough to sustain basic life. Increasing UBI would further lead to runaway inflation.

We literally just did this with COVID checks.

I would vote for the complete opposite of basic income - invest heavily in education, trade schools, colleges and free access to tools for learning, apprenticeships, etc. Give tools to people to become productive and sustain a good life, by also providing value to the society.
I don't agree that the center of both circles needs to lie along that line. The space-filling ones do by definition, but I don't see why the center one has to be on that line. It seems like it must in D=2, of course, but I couldn't prove that it must for D=9, or even that it is unique.

Isn't that a good outcome? Humans get more leisure time.
