It's called a basic income because it's subsistence living. Most people won't just live off it and do nothing. And those that would, well, they aren't really going to do much anyway if you force them to work, other than the bare minimum of the most menial labor.

So far every experiment in UBI has shown that almost everyone getting it does something useful with the money and doesn't just sit on it.

And frankly, I have no problem with paying someone to sit on their ass drawing lines, if it means they aren't starving and homeless.
I am totally on the same page with you in most cases. Having said that, I've got doubts about the sincerity of people arguing against renewable power for environmental reasons. It's hard to take it seriously.
You know what else are eyesores? Vast expanses of monoculture crops, vast expanses of asphalt and urban sprawl, and vast fields of oil derricks.

And those all come with additionally extremely harmful impacts. While turbines are unquestionably a net good they are a new and thus unfamiliar thing.

yeah I understand with most new things or any change it makes a lot of people uncomfortable despite completely overlooking similar or worse offenders that are more familiar. A reactionary antipathy to change is fairly common.

>There is some kind of shadow campaign across Reddit right now ... r/fuckcars that threatens the very meaning of the right to own personal property in the world

Reddit is incredibly hateful not just "in the deep" but on the surface too. /r/FuckYouKaren/ which is basically a "I hate white women" sub is the prime example of that with 1.5m subscribers. Constantly being on the top of /r/all but it's all ok I guess. Wonder when it will go down.
I got the tone but others may not.
Intriguing, but the one thing I consistently fail to find in most of the RPi alternatives I've looked at, is an 8GB RAM model. And I generally find that for the stuff I'm working on, RAM matters more than raw cpu cycles. I'd be willing to sacrifice and take a weaker CPU if I could have the 8GB of memory.

Truly, it is incredible that a sitcom star from the peak of network television and who hosted one of the first major reality television gameshows and the early years of the MMA rise has managed to parlay that tiny bit of fame into a podcast listenership of 12 million.

> Joe can do no wrong and if people dislike him it's because they don't "get it" and they are just being soft.

I find that this is a reaction to a reaction.

I have frequently heard women (and some elitist men) make fun of those who listen to Joe Rogan, long before Joe was every heralded as a hero of the masses. It is only after he started receiving what was perceived to be unjust criticism that people started leaning into the 'with him or against him' polarization.

I just read the essential oils article and it doesn’t seem that bad? They recommend lavender for sleep, aromatherapy for stress reduction and tea tree oils for foot fungus. It’s not great, but as far as trying to be objective goes, it’s not like they’re arguing it cures cancer. They could, as I think is covered more generally provide more data, but while I don’t think we should swallow “alternative therapies” whole hog, I don’t think we should be biased against them just because they sound woo-ey. The evidence should speak for itself. what was your specific beef with the essential oils article(as compared to other WebMD articles)

I wouldn't blame it on drop shipping specifically -- many fortune 500 manufacturers drop ship high quality products from their amazon store. The problem is more about the low bar of entry for resellers to list those same products on amazon, walmart, etc. Some of those products will be legit and some will be counterfeit.

You can work around that by chartering your own plane, but that'll heavily eat into potential returns.

A statically typed language shouldn't indulge in truthiness, no. But a cast is isn't truthiness, it's truth: the meaning of "make this int impenetrable to all but truth and falsehood" is in practice well defined, there's nothing implicit happening here.

To me infinity is the (more) natural circumstance.

We are used to just going forward, if there is an obstacle it can be removed somehow. And even if we go around Earth and arrive back to where we started we can then realize: Hey I should be going up instead, not in 3D circles.

If then space itself turns out to be curved and round, based on what we have learned so far, we can reason hey there must be some extra dimension (something like "up") which I am missing so far. I must go there to truly experience infinity.
This is my pet peeve - why so many people here in the UK strive for mediocrity? Do we really got rid ourselves of any ambitions? When you admit to earning more than £35k you are supposed to feel sorry and apologise for trying and if you are over £80k people look at you as a privileged money pinata, that ideally should be taxed at 100% and keep head down in shame.

For instance, I have been working on a product in my spare time and I don't want to finance it through loans or giving up equity. Having £200k job (only £9,500 net per month) would get me closer to get the required tools, inventory, securing a rent for the workshop and storage, but that still not really too much money for that kind of endeavour. Unfortunately I am coming from a poor working class and I don't have a rich daddy to fund my start up, yet when people learn how much I earn they think I am rich, but reality is that kind of money is not enough to make anything sensible with it (you still have to save for years and live modestly), but people think it's the level of private jets and heated pool in a large back garden of a mansion.
This is an excellent site. I have some machinery and grew up in a machine shop so I know my way around but lack the nuanced experience due to circumstances well beyond my control.

> as a car driver I see cyclists behave badly

> is that the cycling infrastructure in the UK is wholy inadequate

I recently had a cyclist clumsily drift into the outside lane of a 40mph carriageway at around 10mph with one hand on the handlebar. A few metres to the side of the carriageway? An incredible stretch of smooth, fast, dedicated cycle path, separated from the road by a wide grass verge.

While he's one of the worst examples I've seen in a while, and not representative of all cyclists, he's proof that even the best infrastructure in the world won't stop some people acting like they own the roads and putting themselves in harm's way in the process.

Show HN: AutoHotkey for Linux
Hello HN,

this is the first functional reimplementation of AutoHotkey [1] for Unix-like systems, as far as I am aware. Half the commands are still missing, but everything important is done, as I have worked a lot on it over the past two months. Converting scripts into stand alone binaries is also supported. Hope this will find some adoption eventually. :-) - This implementation focuses on v1.0-like classic syntax from 2004 (!). This is a significant subset of the popular current v1.1 syntax from Windows (AHK_L). The reason this does not (yet?) target the full Windows spec is how complex it is. Notably, there's also another ongoing project which targets v2 called KeySharp [2].

If you are not aware of what AHK is, it is an easy but capable scripting language for automation and Hotkeys, and all sorts of visual things like GUIs.

If you want to learn more, there plenty of info on the repo, the docs html, and there's an active AHK Discord too, and I am personally also checking the forums and HN of course.

> I'm comfortable enough with my intellect that I can listen to these (or not) without having my brain turned to mush

It's an interesting turn of phrase, because there's a very real pipeline in which people with less-trained critical thinking skills listen to Rogan -> cannot distinguish openness from endorsement -> believe Rogan is endorsing anti-vaxx voices -> contribute to an aggregate increase in community transmissibility of communicable diseases with proven neurological impacts -> said diseases turn immunocompromised people's neurons to "mush" at an increased rate, through no fault or Rogan-listening of the victims' own.

Rogan has consistently made a decision to prioritize the "vibe" of his podcast over pushing his interview subjects in a way that would make it clear that his provision of a platform is not endorsement. Sure, he challenges things as you have mentioned, but when he challenges anti-vaxx voices no more or no less than he would a guest who, say, had an opinion about hunting he didn't like, that creates a responsibility that I think does scale with audience size.

But the problem presented in GP still exists right? Not everyone starts out with a good understanding of style and composition from the start. They need time to master those skills but also need a line of income to survive till then. If mediocre level work is all automated someone starting out might not get the time to reliably skill up
This paper proposes a framework of necessary, but not sufficient, conditions (technical skill, shared values, collective memory) for a community to resist assimilation by capital.

It seems to propose a duality of capital vs hacker, where capital's innovation comes from harnessing hacker communities like one uses fire for warmth.
Yep, that does stand out as a historical exception. But even a once off 15% reduction over a few years isn't necessarily going to matter much in the face of sustained exponential growth - if it happened in Ethiopia, the population would recover within 5 years.
Learning to play an instrument, to draw, sculpt or basically anything is hard, or at least it takes time.

The problem is that even for good art it's hard, and it has always been. The rise of accessible stock art doesn't help, and AI will not.

Still one point is important: if you want to create something new, and not reassess (derive) the same thing, I guess we (human) have still a place. At least for now.

Just like every issue tracker. The distinction is nonsensical to me. They are all item trackers. You define what the items mean to you; not the other way around.

I've used everything from post-its, spread sheets, text files, jira, and all the rest. It doesn't matter what you use; just how you use it.

What I value is low friction usage. It's why I hate Jira because all the key operations involve modal pop ups and a generally high level of friction, lots of waiting for stupidly slow APIs, etc. Sucks all the momentum out of any meeting where you want to focus on content rather than stupid tools. What I explain in 3 seconds shouldn't require 3 minutes to mirror in the tool. It's what I love about Asana. Because it's just type, enter, type, etc. to create issues. Multi select with the arrow keys or control clicking, and boom labels, assignees, etc. added. That's low friction.

GH issues strikes a good balance. Create a ticket, add some checkbox list, convert individual list items to issues by clicking them. Nice. Could be better but it works.

I have zero experience with Kitemaker, so I'm not going to criticize it. But to me it looks like just another tool. What's so great about it? The article just descends into a nonsensical and completely artificial distinction between issues and goals. Why not do both? Why have two tools? Sounds like friction to me. Or impedance mismatch.
Even if the fines are ever levied, and I'm skeptical even of that, as an ordinary software developer I could easily weather that fine especially if it is a fine for not spending money elsewhere, and my revenue is way down in the six figures. Imagine how hard this must hit a company with the kind of revenue a gas company makes. Oddly, even advocates for the industry feel the same way:

"Texas Competitive Power Advocates, who represent power producers, said the fine was not a severe penalty. 'Penalties should be used as an incentive to avoid infractions and not as minor inconveniences,' the group said in comments sent to the Railway Commission."
Hi all, creator of D2 here. I posted this on Reddit to get some feedback but was hoping to improve the docs and offer a playground environment before posting on HackerNews. Ah well. I wanted to clarify some things:

1. D2 will be open source and usable outside of Terrastruct. Terrastruct will remain the best interface to D2, with bidirectional updates from GUI, but we already have vscode and vim plugins ready for local editing. We're a small team and working on one thing at a time.

2. We're aware of PlantUML, Graphviz, Mermaid, of course. These are mature offerings, but I see plenty room for improvement that we intend to tackle with D2. https://d2-lang.com/tour/faq#how-does-this-compare-to-mermai...

I meant the very technical sense where you could take an object recognition algorithm and compile it to run on a 80386 and it would run fine although slow to the point of not being practical. Computers brought us more speed (and memory) to enable new classes of uses, but there’s not a single intrinsic operation a modern computer does which an old one can’t replicate.

So quantity is indeed a quality.
Very wild indeed! Thank you for sharing that. Though, I don't even know what I'm looking at ! (*and don't say 'automatic transmission gearbox' :-p ~ I mean to say this is all foreign to me and while I can appreciate it, I certainly don't understand it)
>Interesting comparison to journalists though. Who would be a peer as an interviewer? Maybe George Plimpton, Christine Amanpour, Oprah Winfrey, Charlie Rose, or Dominick Dunne?

That's a good list. I'll add more, because I think you're being pretty dismissive of journalism and the art of the interview that has been born from journalism:

Terry Gross, Diane Sawyer, Mike Wallace, Larry King, Bob Woodward, Lesley Stahl, Bryant Gumble, Bob Costas, Walter Cronkite, Barbara Walters (who I personally don't love but who I can't deny has excelled at the art form and created many of its best elements), Jane Pauley, Gwen Ifill, David Frost, Audie Cornish, Kara Swisher.

There are many, many more I'm forgetting. Interviewing has long been a stable of radio and television broadcasting. Not all broadcasters are journalists, but there is significant overlap.

The two greatest living interviewers are Oprah Winfrey and Howard Stern. Stern isn't a journalist per se, but he is a broadcaster and he's absolutely as good as anyone who has ever done it (other than maybe Oprah, who has the ability to interview anyone and make it tantalizing). And I think Joe Rogan is a good interviewer and has absolutely improved over the years (as one would hope if you do something for hours a day for over a decade), but he doesn't even come close to either of them.

And yes, interviewing is a physical act and an act of stamina, but I'm not sure what your point is here. Most journalists who are adept at the interview (and I'm sticking with primarily broadcast interviews here because written interviews, while equally important, are a different beast that often require far more stamina and time than doing a televised or audio broadcast of an interview) have that level of stamina, or more.
Not OP, but I think we are not obligated to be respectful and nice, but why deliberately be an asshole? It's like someone preferring a nickname. If I know my friend Michael prefers to go by "Mike" and will get upset if I use "Michael", I'm not obligated to call him Mike, but I would be an asshole to deliberately call him Michael. Why be an asshole when you can do something very simple to not be an asshole?
