Very cool! Thanks for doing a write-up!

I think it's supposed to be a joke.

Title should probably mention the "Intel platform" is 5 years old.

Yeah... the reason why it smells like a conflict of interest is because it is a conflict of interest.

Riches' motivation to do what? Continually hoard resources? The problem of hoarding, tax evasion, and generally just theft from society disguised as "innovation tax" is the problem that already exists. You're not reducing economic activity, you're just taking economic output and putting it where it deserves to go.

UBI generally has the implication attached to it that creating a proper safety net allows for savings in other areas, simplifies other social services, and reduces costs through net social benefit - not just the upfront costs.

So health care savings, the ability to quit your job and go back to school (or other kinds of re-training, generally a diversified workforce is a beneficial one), reducing the need for shelters, etc.

This is aside from the fact that a reduced engagement in the workforce doesn't have to be a negative thing - plenty of money is being made, it's just not being distributed very well :) UBI just intends to right that inequality in a productive way.

Judging by the sheer number of devices running outdated Android versions and the consumer unfriendly tactics such as locked bootloaders, carrier-locked modems, bloatware, and sometimes even tracking software (fair to call this spyware?) employed by carriers and manufacturers I'd say that incentive to produce good products rarely eclipses these supposedly "invented" negative incentives.

That said, Treble looks like a good step in the right direction. Maybe things will improve in the future.

Hate speech can, in many circumstances, have the potential to incite violence.

I've found the female/nb developers that I've encountered tend to be extremely talented/above average developers, so I don't think this is as much of an issue as you think.

I suspect it has something to do with the people willing to navigate what is generally a field somewhat hostile to women and gender non-conforming people being particularly interested in the field and dedicated to working hard in it.

You used to be able to, I don't think you can any longer.

Possibly this is more about trying to discourage people from running exit nodes rather than a matter of technical understanding (could be a little of both)

I think the issue is not that "all" jobs will be gone, just enough of them.

No, it's really not. Free VPNs aren't free for the sake of it; as the old adage goes "if you're not the customer you're the product".

Please don't use free VPNs. Good VPNs that don't keep logs are not expensive, usually a few bucks a month.

But "ability and optimism" doesn't make it any easier to work your way up in America.

I don't think you can really consider North Korea "orthodox communism".

32GB RAM and a TrackPoint/pointing stick, please.

I think chronic pain is described as anything over 12 months; but more so dealing with it for years or decades (sometimes a person's entire life) tends to wear you down quite a bit, especially when this is accompanied by a reduction in mobility, motor skills, etc.

(Although personally I think while mental health is a large component of chronic pain management I'd say the pain management itself is still the primary issue at hand)

> Well at least Eth lets us write in a variant of JS. JS is amazing. Basically impossible to write buggy code in it.

What features of JavaScript prevent you from writing buggy code?

Journey! Wonderful game.

It's certainly not free from addiction (it does after all, contain μ-opioid receptor agonists, among other things), but it looks like it's got a lower addiction profile for the level of pain relief it provides. It's worth looking into.

It's also possible it may have applications in addictions management with people who are on harder things.

But yeah, everything with a grain of salt, and it's good to be aware there is a risk.

Typo in the last sentence?

Not to mention the optional 2nd mSATA SSD!

Might just be that they didn't do that work yet but it is trivial and just requires some skinning that hasn't been done yet?

Hmm. Entirely possible certain APIs aren't available in a certain way. I wonder if it's possible to "skin" it, in a fashion.

It's the Qt framework, not iOS's UI framework.

(or control ;))

Vim users: best of luck.

This is a "black hat trick"?

> I would argue indentured servitude is a valid way to go, but it makes people uncomfortable because they see it as slavery.

It's just slavery with extra steps.
