Yes. Pagination can be bad if the URL indexes by 1-10, 11-20 etc. But I think HN paginates using the post ID, so that the links are permanent (?) which is a better way to do it. Basically the novel idea here is to treat the browser like a REST client.

This also means you need a predictable, deterministic algorithm, like "ORDER BY DATE DESC", but Reddit does have order by popularity, so that will not be idempotent. But now being super picky as order by popularity is pretty useful. Although I think date should be the default. And order by [what cambridge analytica-likes know about me] should be off.

The universality of UBI seems to be a carrot to sell the policy based upon the (flawed, as demonstrated in the article) assumption that universal benefits are politically safer.

If your goal is to reduce inequality, means-tested programs are much more effective precisely because they don't cause demand-pull inflation. The recipients and amounts are few and small enough that supply flexibility is able to absorb the increased demand.

If everyone gets a benefit it will cause inflation and then you're back where you started.

I understand that. Again, this is seperate from the funding issue.

You give everyone in America $10k dollars. At the end of the year you take that money back from 3/4 of them in taxes. But for 11/12 months, all that money is in grocery stores driving up prices.

You could be in a situation where you increase the baseline cost of living $10k in America (very regressively) and increase the tax burden.

> leverage an existing relationship with Apple to ensure that it doesn’t become a liability in the future as the platform evolves

I sincerely doubt that Firefox can leverage anything with Apple, or that Firefox engineers have much of a relationship at all with Apple. Who does, really.

I'm not sure it matters though. Many smaller Mac developers have a long history of using private API, and it's largely fine. There's no truly "safe path" with Apple, because Apple does whatever it wants whenever it wants, and I've seen them break "supported" API plenty of times, and leave it in a broken state. But the risks of any given brokenness are small, and you can't predict what will break from year to year, so what can you do except go with what works, and hope for the best.

It's certainly fair to say that the majority of applications on macOS do not have the performance profiles of Firefox, but it's also the case that the majority of applications weren't even using lower level primitives like OSSpinLock in the first place, so replacing it was not a concern.

Yeah, if I remember right, their "connect to the internet" mode was a special dial string at the end of the dialup number that selected between normal Compuserve access, and Internet access. If you used Compuserve to get on the Internet, you were unable to access the normal Compuserve services through the Compuserve app! Not a great way to integrate. The only main integration point I remember was that you could use your Compuserve login ID as a full Internet email address.

(This was all back in the 90s when I was a teenager of course, so I may have gotten the details wrong, or just didn't know what I was doing when I was using Compuserve's Internet connectivity.)
I think it is a hard problem to solve BUT I think OSs should offer a compromise. That you are notified each time and can grant or deny. This should be an optional setting for those that want to easily add hardening (I think there's no excuse that linux distros don't have a "hardening" setting in their advanced or security settings).

I don't know the answer to this, so I'll ask. Can USB ports be programmed to only output voltage but not data? If so, this seems like a cool way to implement the above as you can have Deny, Access (power), Access (data) as options.

Yeah, there’s a line somewhere obviously, but it’s also not defined by “is it an arm? Okay then you have a right to bear it!”

As technology advances, either we have to be comfortable with more and more destructive devices being in the hands of everyday people, or we have to be comfortable with restricting access to more and more devices that qualify as “arms.”
This is why I favor a libertarian Marxist analysis of economic change over UBI strategies. What I mean by libertarian Marxism is essentially what Richard Wolff advocates - that instead of an economy comprised primarily of top-down managed firms, we transition to an economy of worker owned cooperatives (still within a free market). This moves real economic decision making power to a broad base of the population rather than in minority hands. This fulfills the goal of worker ownership of the means of production in a fully voluntary system.

The problem with UBI is that economic decision making stays within the hands of a small minority, who then tilt the whole economy in their favor. This is why worker ownership of the means of production (or as I like to say, community ownership of the means of production) is so important. What’s important to understand is that this is a mechanistic choice for how to run an economy. We can choose to do this voluntary because we recognize the value this arrangement offers to most people. It does not need to be done by force as attempted by autocrats in the 20th century. In any case, it requires less force than UBI!

I think the reasons are fairly obvious.

People remember great centralized empires. They remember societies with extensive written records. Cultures that impressed their conquerors. Areas with contiguity of centralized civilization. Monuments that are noteworthy on the global scale. When those things are missing, past societies fade into obscurity.

Even in Europe, ancient cultures are mostly remembered from their interactions with Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern societies. European history effectively begins with the spread of Greco-Roman influence, which in many cases was well into the middle ages. Whatever there was before is now mostly forgotten.
The Myth of the Blind Watchmaker
MS are profit motivated (by definition) and Wine is functionality motivated (again by definition).

MS are currently hell bent on getting you onto a cloud subscription for Windows as a service (WAAS) because that is their current business model. The Wine project is hell bent on delivering functionality that you want and they think you might want.

Wine is less about shuffling the start menu to the middle of the taskbar because ... err wankery that makes it harder to find and actually click or poke at and making copy/cut/paste into really odd little icons on right click menus (no idea what sort of poke gets the right click menu).

... Sorry, I'm not a fan of the W11 UI.

MS could not give a toss about you or your app (say an ancient db or a ancestor app). They need to generate profits and your old app ain't a profit centre.

Anyway, wine is able to do what you actually want your machine to do - keep an old treasured app alive and more.

To quote the article:

Did they work? Yes! Performance on lightly loaded systems was about the same as OSSpinLock but on loaded ones, they provided massively better responsiveness. They also did something extremely useful for laptop users: they cut down power consumption as a lot less cycles were wasted having the CPUs spinning on locks that couldn’t be acquired.

To no one's surprise, one has to use Apple's undocumented APIs to be able to match Safari's power use.
Each coin-toss is a deterministic physical process governed by laws of motion. If we had perfect information about the motion of all components in the system (hand, coin, air, floor, etc.), then we could, in principle, perfectly predict the outcome of every toss. Each individual toss would have a 100% probability of its predicted outcome.

Since we typically lack any of that information, we are stuck with the 50 / 50 prior distribution.

> The universality of UBI seems to be a carrot to sell the policy based upon the (flawed, as demonstrated in the article) assumption that universal benefits are politically safer.

It is not.

It is, instead, that separately means-testing individual programs is at best wasteful duplicative bureaucracy, and often has really dumb effects even in the cases where the individual programs in isolation don’t have cliffs or other perverse incentives when the means-testing of separate programs is considered together (such as totally to > $1 in lost benefits for each $1 in additional income.)

Progressive taxation is, inherently, universal means-testing which, because its all in one spot, can more easily avoid either slipping a bad incentive through in an underobserved program or creating a non-obvious bad incentive in the aggregate of programs.

That’s why the U is in UBI.
It would depend on the rules for the program. GitLab's HackerOne Rules of Engagement do not explicitly prohibit testing on gitlab.com except for attacks that are "disruptive" or access the private information of other users.

I don’t think it’s necessary to be aware of those principles to participate in them.
Landlords and homeowners compete between themselves for real estate near where jobs are, since there's a limited supply. This causes the market price to purchase a property to adjust to the cost of capital that is equivalent to the value gained by living there. This has a natural upper bound. The market rent is the cost of capital to purchase a property plus some margin to account for the cost of doing business. For example, if moving to an area will increase my salary by X, there's little point in me moving there if my rent will go up by more than X. The same goes for my mortgage payment. Even if I had the cash and could buy mortgage-free, it wouldn't be worth it because I could make more by investing the cash somewhere else.

If UBI is indeed universal and you'll get it regardless of where you live, then the value of "living there" will go down proportionally, because the value of living elsewhere will go up, relatively speaking. Another way of looking at this is that demand to living in expensive areas will go down because it'll be (proportionally) less necessary to live where the jobs are.

So I think the state owes its citizens some modicum of health insurance, but it's not there to provide for non-basic health care --that which keeps a bell-curve fitting person in reasonable health for a reasonable amount of time (to be some independent health-body defined arbitrary time). Anything more should be up to complementary insurance of some sort or another.

It may come to be that like cars, all cars even the basic ones upgrade their Window hand-cranks to automatic. However, that should come from an economic feasibility point of view rather than 60% of voters/deciders say they want it.

No, but if you say, hey, we’re all going to burn down the store if you down pay us $20k more… that’s more like what a union is threatening.

There’s practically no limit on what a union can extort from a company. If a company invests in capital to make its employees more efficient (faster coffee grinders - if we’re keeping with the Starbucks theme), then the union can demand that savings in their wages.

Unionization makes it less likely for businesses to make these capital investments.

My theory is that’s why almost no airlines have ever been profitable. All the gains in cost/passenger seat mile gets taken by the pilot unions.

I'm surprised this works as described (especially with the speed mentioned). If I press CTRL+Alt+T on Ubuntu, I can release it and press T again (by hand!) without it hitting the Terminal window.

That means an attacker would need to add a wait to risk losing half the payload to the launch animation or whatever causes the delay, and doing it invisibly would be entirely impossible.

Why do you think so?
The query performance of ClickHouse will be well above any of the listed engines.
The versatility of the query language and support for data formats are also way ahead.
The problem is math; there are ~307 million citizens, around 75% of those over the age of 18, plus 23 million non-citizen residents of the US. Even taking a pretty conservative approach of only paying $1K/mo UBI to the citizens over the age of 18, that's 307M * .75 * $1K * 12 or $2.75T. US Federal tax revenue for 2021 was just over $4T.

So, even with a fairly paltry UBI, you're talking about UBI representing an increase of taxes of almost 70% of total federal taxes.

Make the UBI $1500/mo per adult citizen and UBI costs more than every dollar of federal tax received currently.

Pay the $1K UBI to every resident of the US and UBI represents basically 100% of current federal tax receipts.
ignoring the political acceptance of it, UBI would end up tax neutral for many. You also have to change the way you tax and create a wealth tax. ie, if you imagine the wealth distribution in a country, and overlay income tax, you will see it doesn't match wealth distribution, so you need tax models that tax wealth and match your tax take to the wealth distribution (not that you can do this perfectly, but just need something that tracks better). This would make the majority of people better off, politically that's a good thing. Businesses follow market forces, more people with more money should create opportunities for more competition. Where it can be problematic is where there is a limited resource, like housing, it could push rents up, however, it may also give people more opportunity to move out of cities, so hard to know how that would play out.
