I always see these UBI tests doing something like "We'll give you(A) this amount(B) of money for some time(C)"
Where count(A) is smallish, (B) is relatively big, and (C) is limited to a few years. The problem with this is the number of people is too small to measure any impact on economy, the cost of universalizing the program would be impractical and nobody (sane) will take a long term decision based on something that will vanish some years down the road.
The real test I would like to see is this:
Everybody above 18 years included (A), minimal (B), long or permanent (C) duration. (B) could be as low as $1 a month, but increasing/changing with time. If everybody is included, the Universal part would finally be tested. If the amount of money is minimal, we would not have a huge risk of tanking the economy. If the period of payment is long enough, we would test the psychological impact on people of such scheme.
The cost of this test in the US would be something like:
250 million people above 18 years * $1 * 12 months ~ $54 billion dollars a year + overhead
Not small, but not unreasonable either
It's not that the world is now ignoring the US. Is that the US is ignoring the world.
The US used to be that country that would lead the negotiations because it is strong and WANTED to negotiate. As soon the will to negotiate vanished, the world continued negotiating.
The worst part for the US is that this shows they are not really indispensable in the table. That is the worst thing that could happen to its diplomacy.
There's similar evidence that the same thing happened in reverse. IIRC there's some evidence a virulent strain of tuberculosis from the new world was the one that caused many of the big outbreaks in Europe.
Do you have any links? I would really like to read it
Well, if there is more money available(bigger rent/increased demand) there is more incentive to invest(build/manufacture goods).
It's not so clear that inflation will be the main contributor to the new equilibrium. If the median household income increases without UBI, inflation increases. But the economy also increases (growth).
From what I understood, it is not the site that needs to be compliant, it is the browser. So, from what I undertand, some of the features that were XUL dependant, are now implemented with HTML5 features.
It seems Firefox is trying to "standardize" the way to build extensions, and force Chrome to accept their extensions to the extensions API. So, we would not only have every Chrome extension working with Firefox, but the other way around too. It would be great, for example, if NoScript would run on Chrome.
Their automation is probably biased because one kind of problem is so much more common than the other. Imagine an neural network is used to flag potential problems. And that it was trained in a dataset that does not contain(because it is harder to find) the words "white people" in a problematic situation. Or the dataset does not contain those words because only high impact tweets were used.
Can you imagine an neural network failing to flag one account but not the other?
I'm not saying both accounts should not be banned(if that is their policy) but maybe one of those accounts had a much higher *impact*(re-tweets, followers,...) than the other, so one just slipped under the radar?
And if you use coal/petrol to produce any part of the turbines/panels in any stage of the production they will be carbon positive.
But what really matters here is not that they are carbon positive, it is that they produce so little carbon when compared to all other sources that it doesn't really matters...In the end, they are displacing something hugely worse so they are a net positive.

Yeah, and junk DNA is just all the parenthesis needed to run the code

Blockchain != Bitcoin
Bitcoin uses a blockchain and consensus but there is no fundamental constraint forcing anyone to use both together.
You could always hexdump the file and then search on google, but one is much faster than the other.
Who is to say the printed ballot has no water mark identifying you and your vote? Not that I think it is likely, but is at least possible.
This would be possible even with traditional paper votes, but a little bit harder to execute.

Yes, but the customer has the right to release it to the public as well. So in this case there is no real difference.
Is it possible to have a debit card without pin? What for? Just to avoid having to press 4 to 8 buttons and confirm?
Or, as said by XKCD, this: Licence Plate
Yes but, unless the volcanoes have just appeared, something has changed to cause the loss of ice
Yeah. Syphilis I had already heard about too.

If bacteria is that common in space, would it not have already fallen into Earth and thus be a KNOWN species? Or if unknown, just not discovered yet?
It think it pretty hard to believe that one unknown type of bacteria got into the ISS wind shield without also getting into Earth surface.
It may be misused, but it can be used for good things too. If it is local and I can control its activation, I don't see a problem.
It could require less permissions, but it's not the worst I've seen.
MoviePass App
But its rating is surely not encouraging

It seems it will support NoScript:

You had me worried for a moment... =)
He will cancel the meeting?
If this bug is present only in Ubuntu, it seems to me that the problem is not in systemd. Can anyone explain to me why it doesn't affect RedHat?
List of countries and territories by population density
Brazil: 24.31 people per sq km and 62.97 people / sq mile
USA: 33 people per sq km and 85.46 people / sq mile
It seems that you got Brazilian population per square KILOMETER while using the MILE values for other countries...
It makes sense as Brazil is only a bit smaller than the USA and has about 2/3 of its population.
..., but unless you're using your phone in conjunction with a magnifying glass
Kind of like you would in VR?
All well and good, but who raised these kids?
It is probably just an automation problem...

No. Wind and solar are NOT carbon-negative.
And it is REALLY simple to prove:
1. They don't consume CO2 to produce energy
2. End
And if you use coal/petrol to produce any part of the turbines/panels in any stage of the production they will be carbon positive.
But what really matters here is not that they are carbon positive, it is that they produce so little carbon when compared to all other sources that it doesn't really matters...In the end, they are displacing something hugely worse so they are a net positive.
