NIT is equivalent to the combination of UBI + progressive (usually) or flat (in some NIT schemes) income tax. Since no one proposing UBI in places with a basically progressive income tax proposes abolishing the income tax or making it something other tjhan progressive or flat, NIT is identical to actual real-world UBI proposals.

I suppose in some cartoonish parody of MMT dreamed up by conservatives to scare children you could a UBI with no tax system that wasn’t functionally identical to a NIT, but that’s not what anyone is proposing.

> The only trick is that you would need the equivalent of a W-2 for anyone in America eligible for the program.

You need W-2s for the same set of people you need them for already (those with the kind of income reported on a W-2.)
The US spends more than anyone on healthcare as a percentage of GDP and gets mediocre results at best. The most frequently proposed solution to this is to turn over more of the control of our healthcare to the people who created the current system and also lied us into the Iraq war where we killed millions of people for corporate profits.
Depends if you consider the NSA breaching their inter-data-center traffic 15+ years ago or not.

This is almost certainly a proof of concept based on language in the PR. The Government should always keep a pulse on the market and be willing to buck the status quo. Office is the standard now, but GSuite could be so in 15 years.

> I get the whole “don’t break the web” thing

I wish Chrome devs did. They have been actively breaking the Web on multiple occasions. Just try to launch some unmaintained HTML5 game from a few years ago and watch it trip over a non-working audio context. They reverted their window.alert change after deploying it only because the resulting breakage was too big to ignore. "Don't break the Web" is a myth, it's actually "don't break the Web so much that the user will notice enough things stopping to work after browser update to blame it on the browser".
This is very debatable if you throw QM into the mix. From all what we know, we cannot predict everything with 100% success rate -- QM cannot be explained by a hidden variables model.
Of course not; the person holding the coin is a mark.
Firefox could of course just do what webkit does, and implement the spin lock themselves:

It may become a necessity as more and more working class jobs (and white collar too) get supplanted by machinery and AI. I don't think society at large will be okay with living in abject poverty while the elites live in big white houses on the hill.
MSFS alone is a sufficient argument to buy a VR headset. The immersion is stunning on hi-res headsets and playing it again on a 2D monitor feels very lacking.
Supporting people staying healthy, preventing diseases is a whole lot cheaper eventually. The idea behind universal health care is that you don't want to be overly stringent because it comes back to you down the line with vengeance. In my country for example you are recommended to visit the dentist at least once a year because prevention is important, and society can't exactly function well with people having bad teeth. Equal chances and all that, but also to avoid the cost down the line. In the United States however nobody cares, there isn't even a society, just a bunch of different classes living very different lives. If you can't afford good teeth you don't matter. You are not good enough. Problem solved. Good luck making it with your bad teeth. That's your problem, why should I pay for it. It's funny when people who call themselves Christians say this when Christianity is about realizing the eventual spiraling cost of not landing a hand to people, although this practicality evolved into morals over the ages. In the United States however there is a deep cultural problem, a lack of practical morality if you will, and that's not going to be easily solved.
Yes, though the diseases traveled much faster than the Europeans did, as Americans had their own trade routes. A whole century could have passed between Columbus’s first voyage and European contact with a tribe, but they would have been decimated centuries before contact. That’s plenty of time for forests to reclaim farmland.
It actually wasn’t fine to rename flatten() to flat() - flat isn’t a verb, flatten() seems natural, and now you have to explain to everyone that yes it’s called flat() because someone on a standards committee really likes unmaintained web sites that probably have expired domains, expired certs, non paid for hosting but might run mootools.

I'm kinda just reiterating what other people have said here, but I don't really get the "don't break the web" thing.

Apparently it was just fine to break the web when it meant shutting off Flash and breaking millions of existing games and movies - but a few old sites that could trivially be wrapped that use Mootools are somehow good enough to change "flatten" to "flat"?
Watching TV is not experience by doing it. Maybe more often counterproductive, because stunts and CGI distort your expectations :-)

No reason to really consider that as relevant here since if you consider it then you also have to consider that they’ve breached not only every potential contractor for the USG but also any company that matters.
Your anecdotal evidence is different from my opinion on it.

If I review a movie and say it's bad would you say "if the movie is bad then your opinion is bad?"

You shouldn't make accusations without evidence and you shouldn't use anecdotal evidence as the sole backing for a claim.
For the general population, it is a whole lot less.
This is not meant to be snarky or demeaning but it's hard to judge something has bad in general by "but if you're in a wheelchair". Most of life is not friendly to wheelchairs. My shower, my kitchen sink, the top half of my refrigerator, my car, my building (15 apartments) has only stairs. Etc....

Sure, more things designed for people with various diverse needs is awesome but a world limited to only things that work for people in wheelchairs seems like it would be very limited vs a world where we find out a way to let people in wheelchairs do everything if they want to.
Xylitol can inhibit multispecies biolfilms [1]. Colonization, from what I understand, is critical in the first year of life and as teeth erupt. Some people have bad teeth and good teeth regardless of their hygiene practices because of early colonization. Artificial sweeteners other than xylitol generally supply energy to undesirable bacteria.

We are using Material UI (https://mui.com/material-ui/getting-started/overview/) on the front end which is what makes the website responsive and mobile friendly. MUI has been great to work with, I highly recommend it.

The Progressive Web App part of things (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web...) is what makes Linkidex still mostly work if your internet goes down, and lets users "download" the front end web application to their phone so it behaves like a native mobile app would. For example, users who download Linkidex get an icon on their home screen that opens Linkidex, and the url bar isn't visible when the app is open, despite the downloaded app just being a web page thats opened with your phone's default browser.

>> I'd even go so far to say that the lack of non-physical games is the biggest detriment to the continued adoption of VR.

> If that was true, wouldn't the available non-physical games sell far better?

No. People who dont want / cant play the physical games aren't going to buy a VR system just to play the few subpar non-physical games.
The solution here, rather than using OS-internals is for Firefox to implement spin locks themselves, which is the level that they should be thinking if they're making their own allocator. This is what webkit, chromium, etc - webkit even has a blog post: https://webkit.org/blog/6161/locking-in-webkit/
Correct, government pay scale is a huge problem for talent acquisition. Your choices are either someone who is so ideologically devoted that they're willing to work for 5-25% of what they're worth or "work for us or you're going to prison for a long time"

Or "I'm a covert foreign asset, so I DGAF what I get paid."

China broke into google and surveilled targets. Like, actually spied on dissidents through their gmail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aurora
This greatly sped up projects to protect user data from external threats.

Heather Adkins who leads security (and is one of those ultra-longtimers) brought a number of senior eng for internal, ultra-private meetings where they showed the eng leadership exactly what had happened. I wasn't invited but at that time, sat near the exit door and their faces were just ... aghast at the consequences of what had just happened as a function of the systems they built.

The snowden dumps also showed that the NSA had packet traces of BigTable RPCs which was quite an eye-opener and definitely sped up privacy projects.
Can we please do “stricter mode” for some of this? “strict mode” was a great hack, and we are long overdue for fixing stuff

My white whale: make “let” mean what “const” means, and “var” mean what “let” currently means. But there are definitely better things to get done

I’m for keeping things working generally of course. People being against “don’t break the web” is a bit odd to me. But we are long overdue for versioning so we can actually fix stuff, especially given how much modern code goes through transpilers and the like
Apache had plenty of knowledge of agriculture. They lived in an agricultural world and interacted with people who were agriculturalists, and even practiced herding (a form of agriculture).

Moreover, it's wise to consider the context of gory incidents described in popular culture. This all took place against a backdrop of devastating war that captured the imagination of 19th century popular media. This is one of the periods of colonization where we can clearly point to genocide in the sense that total eradication was unambiguously a political goal and you could get money by bringing a native scalp/head into a government office.

Despite that, as someone who's worked with primary sources from this period and region, I'll caution you that particularly lurid descriptions of atrocities are often both exaggerated and cherry-picked.

As an aside, the Apache in particular were very well organized as far as first nations go and at the height of their power had thousands of warriors with fairly modern light weaponry. We have sources from the Mexican American war about Mexican commanders refusing to head off American troops because they were more worried about native forces than the Americans. That's also why article XI of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was such an important point for the negotiations.

These comments make me sad. We are obviously going to be scrambling to solve the "post work" life problem after most of us are rendered unemployed.

I'm confused as to how we got so confused - life was never about work, life was never about anything.

People worked to survive - they had to or they would die. Now we live in a world where survival is all but assured but without any assurance to the quality of that life. This whole abortion thing is a fantastic example of what I mean.

I cannot stress enough that this the end of capitalism - it cannot take us further without endangering our future existence.

That is also fine. Accumulating money was never the point of life either.

Wtf is the point to life? What are we doing here - what do we want to be doing? Who are we if we cannot have a work identity?

The above questions are the things that will keep your kids and grandkids up at night.

They should be keeping you up... but I understand. We gotta rough road ahead.

The problem to be solved can be "I have been given a single sentence specification and I have no idea what the boss wants".

The plan B can be "The boss cannot tell me what they want in a succinct way, and/or I am not confident what they want, so I will make various suggestions and get them to choose an option."

The unknown risks - all developers intuitively should know this unless they are very new. Stuff like "this will work, but not effort is going in to how to scale this up later", or "this requires digging up some old code no one has touched for ages, which could explode the time estimated if it is hard to understand that code or refactor it".
In macroeconomics, "bad things will happen" is so certainly true and so vague that it's meaningless.

Central banks don't/can't prevent economic problems, and we all know that. Their purpose is to "flatten the curve" so that we have a more predictable economy that doesn't scare people away from investing.

The big question right now is whether central banks can soften the blow from so many shocks happening at the same time.
You’ve apparently never heard the phrase “You break it, you bought it” as it applies to international affairs.

Say we do invade Saudi Arabia, and/or Venezuela, as you suggest. Please share the highlights of your post-war governance plan. Do we send a bunch of our people in there to rule the country? Do they become our de-facto territories? What do we do about the all-but-certain never-ending resistance campaigns from people who legitimately want self-determination? What if we give them that self-determination, and they decide to vote in someone even worse than who’s currently in power?

Your comment shows an almost complete lack of understanding of even the last 20 years of geo-political conflict. The fact that you tacked on “I’m as anti-war as it gets” at the end can only be interpreted as a troll move.
Happily, rather than using non-API OS internals, Firefox could recognize that their behaviour does not match normal applications and so they might have to actually implement spin locks themselves rather than relying on a API that is designed to support more general apps. That's what the other browser engines do, including webkit and that's an actual system library on macOS and iOS.
Good thing there's a prompt[1] then.

Has anyone had luck getting decent GUI performance (macOS host, Linux guest)? I don't need 3D, just sane 2D performance.

The last time I tried this, it was so bad that I had to drastically decrease the window size to get reasonable performance. As in, it would basically lock up above a certain window size, and no reasonable amount of waiting would get it to respond. (And yes, I fiddled with all of the obvious knobs for CPU/memory/graphics/etc.) I figure in this day and age of AWS and the like, we should have very, very good open source virtualization software, but no amount of fiddling seems to get it to work well for me.
Not sure if everyone will share my definition, but I wouldn’t call this monkey-patching. Yes, it is dynamic addition of methods at runtime, but almost everything in Ruby is runtime, including method definition in the common case. So I reserve the term for when one library intrusively (and often globally) modifies the behaviour of another, i.e. some clear sense of a control boundary being crossed, which is only slightly less technical because we can still denote clear boundaries. And in this case it looks like intentional (albeit naive) behaviour within the library in question.

I agree with you on Intel, and their CPUs also have the undisableable Intel Management Engine[1] problem.

But feeding the market power of a big company so that it can become a duopolist or a monopolist is not a good idea. Such market power is always used to perpetuate that power and to extract value from you. Hopefully with efforts like Asahi Linux,[2] Linux can soon be a daily driver on the M1, too.

If the point was "write a prototype/less efficient version prior to the more time consuming but better quality solution" then maybe they should have written that.

I used to work for a big international company (+100k employees) that heavily used and depended on MS Office and migrated to Google Workspace. There was a lot of hesitance on the migration and also keeping the users engaged using it (I think that most of the people can not even imagine that there is something else besides Word and Excel) and it was one of the most successful decision I had seen for the users.

There is this irrational fear to stop using MS Office and to me the fear is now having to use it. I am not working with that company anymore and having to deal with Office again has been painful.
VR Games I enjoyed from a sofa/chair

Trover saves the Universe: This even makes fun of the fact that you're stuck in a chair. You're called a Chairorian.

No Man's Sky: Most of the time you sit in a pilot's seat

Astrobot (PSVR): Arguably one of the most polished VR games to date.

Farpoint (PSVR): Again, designed to be played from a sofa

No guarantee they can be played from a recliner. In fact I think No Man's Sky in particular worked best from a chair with no arms, like a dining room table chair.

On other hand, most of my favorite experiences in VR, much of the enjoyment comes from physical movement. Half Life Alyx, Jet Island, Until You Fall, Eye of the Temple, Audica (on harder levels), Synth Riders (on harder levels).
Quite a bit I would have thought. The GPU at least will be identical.

I love the idea that the USG has simply backdoored Google, because it implies 1) a covert team of google3 shadow contributors, which is kind of funny and it must suck for them to not have platform support, but also 2) that the team responsible for micromanaging every joule that their datacenters consume, and charging back to every product group for resources used down to the nanodollar, simply hasn't noticed this ongoing campaign of bulk access.
