Everyone doesn't have basic income added to their income, unless the government is printing money to pay the basic income. Basic income redistributes funds from one or both of two other sources:
1. Existing social benefit programs benefits + administrative costs, and/or
2. Taxes, (in most proposals where additional tax revenue is seen as part of the funding stream, this is a progressive tax on total income).

That being said, the redistribution should result in more money chasing certain goods and services, which should increase the price for those. With realistic elasticity levels, the increase in price will be less, proportionally, than the increase in the quantity of money available for the goods/services, and the market clearing quantity of those goods/services produced and sold will increase.

It will also result in less money chasing other goods and services (public sector administration for the "replace conditional benefits program" part, and goods that are disportionately attractive to wealthier purchasers for the "funds from progressive income tax" part.)

The platform of the internet is not wires. It's not AT&T and it's not switches, it's not deep packet inspection routing "low priority" packets around "congestion" and it's not HTML5 or JavaScript. It's not a cloud, and it's not a PaaS.

The internet is TCP/IP, and on the internet packets are routed by their headers, not by their content.

Some parts of the internet are actually a corporate LAN in america, with it's own rules for routing. So, a lot of routers will route around America since it seems to drop a lot of packets or return corrupted packets. Perhaps what IP really needs is a way for applications to report network degradation so that OSPF can correctly quantify each part of the network, instead smart routers that try to prioritize traffic by capitalist metrics. It's quite clear OSPF is broken when a route is selected that would allow for injecting of protocol/application hijacking packets for network issues to disguise what would otherwise be a congested path.

The reason why F1 now has so many rules governing it is because it was impossible for new teams to be founded, and many teams were pulling out, because the costs were insane.

The budgets of F1 teams, in USD, was approaching astronomical levels to where only a handful of teams could ever justify existing. It would be impossible to fill even a third of the starting grid. If were allowed to continue, you'd have teams burning $1B+ per year.

The other limits have mostly been due to encountering the laws of physics and how it applies to humans. G-forces are limited as a part of car design to ensure the drivers don't black out in the corners from the extreme lateral loads. Pressure suits like fighter jets don't help you, because at least in a fighter jet the G-forces are top-down. Humans have been a weak link on Formula 1 since the mid-to-late 90s.
You decide if you want to endorse the product. You +1'd the product. You left a review on the product page or one Google Maps. This data is already shown. If you didn't want people to see your +1 or your review, why would you +1 or review it?

That's already the case if you publish restaurant reviews on Google

I failed to see how my choice to endorse something publicly (which is what a +1 is) makes Google "evil". The whole idea of +1/Like is to show approval/agreement. The keyword in that sentence is "show".
Set aside recumbents. How about small-wheeled uprights? The world upright speed record was set, and has held for 20 years, on a 17 inch steel bicycle with full suspension (a Moulton AM). There are strong arguments to be made that smaller-wheeled bikes allow for much faster and better designs: yet because the UCI banned them in the 1960s for being too fast, the industry was ruined and the only ones you can get nowadays are either folders (Brompton, Bike Friday Tikit) or bespoke Moultons.

BTW: recumbents can have just as short a wheelbase as an upright, as well as about as high a center of gravity position. See for example http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/racing2007/xenia2007/i... The big issue with recumbents is that humans are designed to apply torque vertically, and torque is what you need for climbing; while aerodynamics are what you need for descending and on straights.

Any professional programmers care to weigh in here?

Burden of Proof:

You said that the burden of proof lies not with the person making the claim, but with someone else to disprove.

The burden of proof lies with someone who is making a claim, and is not upon anyone else to disprove. The inability, or disinclination, to disprove a claim does not render that claim valid, nor give it any credence whatsoever. However it is important to note that we can never be certain of anything, and so we must assign value to any claim based on the available evidence, and to dismiss something on the basis that it hasn't been proven beyond all doubt is also fallacious reasoning.

I'm not sure about this but a lot of software might have been written specifically for IE6 and IE6 only, which might not translate well to Chrome/Firefox, and could cost businesses a lot of money, more money than they deem its worth. There could be ActiveX controls and such which can't be ported to Chrome/Firefox without money.

This is based on my experience at UPS which used a single machine using IE6 and some form of web app to control start up and shut down procedures, or something to that effect. It had no Internet connection, only LAN I believe.

I did ask myself this question too and it does seem peculiar. After some thought, my only guess is the above!

I think he's suggesting that violence (which
ultimately backs state compulsion) is not an
appropriate response to a non-violent act
(declining to hand over keys).

I'm sure that's what he is saying, but it's an intellectually lazy claim.

If you only look at the scope of the demand (hand over the keys or we will put you in jail), it may seem like an escalation of force by the government. The real normative claim being made is that contempt of court charges are unconstitutional. Which is patently absurd.

The threat of force exists because through contempt, 'non-violent' dissenters can enable further violence.
At first, I was shocked. Then, the argument actually makes a little sense.
> Please read about the alphabet system of Sanskrit and various modern languages that derives from Sanskrit

The Sanskrit alphabet is very elegant indeed, but Sanskrit doesn't have a writing system. None of the various scripts used to encode Sanskrit (Siddham, Lantsa, Devanagari, Kharoshti etc.) are, in my opinion, anywhere near as well-structured as the Sanskrit alphabet.

>In addition to that, sanskrit alphabets encompasses almost every possible consonant and vowel sounds that a human can generate.

That's nowhere near true; listen to some languages like Xhosa, or even a tonal language like Chinese, and try to transliterate them using Sanskrit.

>Sanskrit grammar is again another beautiful and well thought creation that is considered the best grammar to be used for scientific work.

Sanskrit grammar is highly regular, which is why it is used in some AI applications, but there's no reason to think it is "the best grammar to be used for scientific work." And, as structured as Sanskrit grammar is, it still opens itself up to ambiguities-- it is nowhere near as clean as an artificial language would be.

Sanskrit is a great language, but there's no need to oversell it.

> Economics is not money. Its about how to allocate the limited resources in the most efficient way.

At least some presentations of Star Trek (or, at least, Federation) "economics" were that it was not economics; not having money was a symptom of that, but the fundamental thing presented was that scarcity was solved because resources were not practically limited (which is why they didn't have money.)

(Of course, there was a whole lot presented at other times that seems to be at odds with that.)

This problem solves itself. Poor people move to cities because of limited economic opportunity where they live. You can make more money, but the cost of living rises in proportion. If you make 28K no matter where you live, then it makes sense for a lot of people to optimize by staying in or moving to places with a low cost of living. Maybe a lot of them will watch TV all day, but at least they'll be fixing up an old house so they have a decent place to live, and contributing to their community.

You absolutely don't give people more money who live in more expensive areas. Actually, by allowing people who don't really want to live in the Bay Area to move someplace cheaper and simultaneously increase their standard of living, you'd actually end up reducing price pressure in overheated real estate markets like SF, and propping it up in super-cheap areas like Detroit.
Moving data from one place to another (like in a sort) is also an operation.

As soon as I see or hear about poeople's +1's becoming ads is when I stop using +1 on anything.

Right now it's a subtle "thankyou" for the content creator and to say "I think this is meaningful". If I wanted to "shout out", I'd also take the step to post this in my Public circle.

If Google thinks a simple +1 is some wholehearted endorsement of that content, I'll simply stop using +1s. I'm sure I'm not the only one here.
What do I need Google for? DDG works ok for discovery, subreddits and HN aggregate news, and SO handles all of my programming questions.
I don't think +1 on Google+ subscribes you in the same way Like does on Facebook. You have to at least comment in order to receive notifications for new activity via Google+. If you +1 something, it is only to endorse it.
>>made clicking the Like button a 'heavy' action—meaning I have to think about it before doing it.

I may be in the minority here, but I think that is a feature, not a bug. "Liking" something should be a heavy action that you think about. I remember when I started getting page-spam from weird pages I'd liked in the early days of Facebook and went back and cleaned up my likes, there were some things in there I didn't remember liking or ever want to like. Now, I really have to think about it, and it leads to my ads and page updates being much more relevant and interesting to me. Also, the Graph Search capabilities should also be encouraging people to think before they like.

As an online marketer, I like it too, because it means my audience is marginally more likely to truly be interested in the targeting I choose.
You can opt-out and it sounds like they're only using it on Content you've +1'ed.

I only +1 content I like, and if my endorsement can somehow bring revenue to the content creator, I'm personally fine with it.
Lavabit had the option of providing access to only Snowden's account. They declined that option. The FBI then escalated their demand to get the data they were entitled to.

This 'unconstitutional' demand from the FBI was Lababit's creation by being obstinate to begin with. Did they just expect the government to give up after Lavabit told them they couldn't access that data?
Advertisement is a very broad term. There are some specifics here that scope the usage in a way that I can't find issue with:

* The photos will only be used for "shared endorsements", not your typical AdWords advertisement

* These endorsements will only be visible to "the people who you originally shared that activity with though" (quoting the article here)

There is an exception to that second point, but it only applies to Google Play and Google+Local, both of which I would expect people already anticipate are more "public" than something like a generic +1.

IMO, the only reason this is getting a lot of attention is because it's a change that can be easily spun in to something scary, which in turn generates page views.

"The United Kingdom – United States of America Agreement is a multilateral agreement for cooperation in signals intelligence between the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The alliance of intelligence operations is also known as Five Eyes (FVEY). It was first signed in March 1946 by the United Kingdom and the United States and later extended to encompass the three Commonwealth realms of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. "

It is impossible to undo the damage done by some forms of hacking.

Also in a free market, governments should compete for companies to register their books in their respective countries and the competition between the governments should keep the tax rates fair.

If you are scared that someone will come after you it's blindingly obvious to not publish a review under your name. Google's change here has nothing to do with the issue either--you can certainly be recognized by a review on Amazon, Yelp, Google, Facebook or any other public venue. Google does allow easy to use privacy controls though, so that's at least a step in the right direction.

Register windows are a way to put 1000 registers in a CPU. See the SPARC and Itanium instruction sets for how this can be done. There are also plenty of studies about both.

Vector registers are another way to use 1000 registers.

But directly coding 1000 registers into each instruction does not seem to be such a good idea. You might as well use a 1st level cache. The difference between the cache and the register file ist mostly how the instruction set architecture references it. Registers are usually easier to acces because each one has a single name and the CPU can detect dependencies and conflicts easily. Memory accesses and caches are more complex because you need to calculate the addresses before you can detect dependencies/conflicts.

PD: Yet another way to use 1000 registers is massive multi-threading like the Tera MTA.
