The point is that it should be enough to live with dignity, i.e. a roof over your head and enough food to eat, but if you want to take vacations or not share an apartment with two other roo,mates then you have to work to get extra money. That is why it is called basic income, it provides for the basic necessities but not much more.
And that's kind of the point. We are reaching a time in human history when we have more people than we have productive jobs for them to do, because of automation and overall increased productivity due to technology. We have to admit to ourselves that, some point soon, we have to be okay with allowing people to not work and still get a livable income. Working should give you above and beyond the minimum, if you want nice vacations, bigger home, etc.
That logic makes no sense. That is like saying if you make $2000 a month at your job you have no reason to work a side job on the weekends because it only pays $500. It's still $500 more than you had before. Every dollar has the same value it did, unless you are printing money to pay for your basic income. Almost everyone owns a television, does that mean televisions are no longer worth anything?
What world are you living in? It is incredibly hard to get doctors and health care professionals to got to underserved areas in the US. It is a huge problem: http://money.cnn.com/2010/03/2...
You don't have to be coming from one of the countries to be barred from entering the US, you just have to be a citizen of one of them. Most effected people I know were out of the country for business or educational travel (going to a conference) and then found themselves stuck in, say, Paris because of the ban.
In short, no. Ending H-1B's is not "detrimental to the interests" of Washington state or the United States
It is in the sense that you had 100 employees that were forcefully taken away from you overnight. Maybe in the long run it is not extremely detrimental, but you can't get people to pick up their work on a dime.
Also, the judge implies that aliens in foreign countries have Constitutional rights, which is complete lunacy.
Where are you reading that? The judge specifically motivates the stay by saying that the states have sufficiently demonstrated that they are suffering immediate injury from the ban. That is what is in question, the "would be detrimental to the interests of the United States" part. Washington is arguing that the ban itself is detrimental, and the judge is ruling that the White House has not made sufficient justification that the harm avoided by the ban outweighs that which it itself causes.
That's a pretty bad comparison because a Versa is a piece of shit without even power windows. If they made a Leaf with absolutely no features I imagine it would be closer to that price.
Not sure why you think this. Quantum computers are not especially strong at breaking symmetric cryptography, which is what locks phones. There is some advantage that you gain from a quantum computer due to Grover's algorithm, but considering that it will process much slower than our best classical computers it will probably even out in the end.
You should know how those videos work by now. They ask hundreds of people to do something stupid and then stitch together the footage from 5 people that do it so it looks like every person they ask is an idiot. It's funny, but not indicative of anything.
You know that Evita is a fictional play, right? And also that the Che in that play is not Che Guevara... That quote is basically from Andrew Lloyd Webber.
It's fine. The coasts will always be fine. We have the strongest and most sustainable economies. It's not a coincidence that the counties that went Democrat make up 64 percent of the economy. Trump will cut a bunch of federal funding and programs that help poor people in the "taker" states that receive more federal money than they give (hint: almost all Republican), and Democratic states will replace the cut programs with their own at the state level. You guys wanted more power to the states, right? Now see how that works out for you.
Republicans are dividing the country without realizing that their part of the country is rapidly becoming irrelevant. There's also the fact that Democrats won every state but Kentucky in the under 30 vote so eventually all of you backwards idiots are going to just die out. Looking forward to that.
Did you also rant like this against Blockbuster in the 90s? If it is clear what you are getting and you consider it to be worth the money then who gives a shit. Netflix explicitly presents itself as a rental/streaming service where you do not own the content. Nobody is under any impression that they are buying videos from Netflix.
Unskilled labor is harder than skilled labor. It destroys your body and shortens your lifespan. Meanwhile I am sitting here in a comfortable chair, climate controlled office, making 3x as much money. The reward for getting an education is largely that you don't have to work at such a shitty job. If it payed the same amount of money to work at McDonalds as it did for me to do my current job I would still never do it because it would drive me crazy. The least we can do is give people working at those jobs a livable wage, because I know I wouldn't trade places with them.
lol were you under the impression that I was asking for your advice how to raise myself out of poverty or something? What is the point of your anecdote?
Having a lot of personal experience with the NSF, I can confidently say no. Businesses have nothing to do with the NSF. All the leadership are academics, all the grants go to academic institutions, and almost all of the money comes directly from the federal government. At no point are any business interests substantially involved.
Glad it's working for you my friend. You are the minority unfortunately. And I wouldn't hold out hope on that health plan thing, it's going to be a wild ride on that front...

Cool story bro.

I know you are but what am I?
and that will hit the urban areas first, and hardest

Considering most of the produce I buy at the grocery store is imported from Mexico, I think we would be just fine.

Or we could just not make people suffer through that out of some vindictive "I did it so you should too" attitude.
Hate to break it to you but most jobs, by the numbers, require "almost no skills." 40% of US workers are unskilled. Should they all starve to death?
Literally wtf are you even talking about. We know what Java does. It uses regular standard hash functions, no proprietary ones.
Nope, all SHA hash functions are standardized by the federal government and are license free.
