At least in the U.S. you don't need a reason, yet alone a good one. It would be like asking "what good reason do people have for saying fill in the blank hateful/unpopular/religious things"? Of course no one needs t

Jumping off a bridge or freeway overpass rarely permits you a second chance to rethink things either. Nor does kicking out a stool while hanging from your rafters. Personally I find the assortment of options available comforting.

Can you explain why this will not happen? A UBI is an income redistribution scheme. Higher income brackets must necessarily pay more than they receive, one way or another. Is it problematic? Sure, but so are all sorts of programs already in

In a free market, I find the ideal of free movement very compelling. But how do you reconcile free movement with (quasi-)socialism?

Do you only need access for yourself? If so, you should really check out ZeroTier. I use it on my Android phone and Linux boxes and have been really happy with it.

OP wondered in what circumstances people have money for luxury goods yet still qualify for welfare, so I named two. I've come across plenty of people who receive some sort of public aid (e.g. subsidized housing, SNAP, Medi-Cal) who fal

illegal != unethical. To play devil's advocate, doesn't a state possess a greater obligation to it's own people than to those outside of it? You (perhaps naïvely) expect your government to protect you from foreign threats. Yo

It is. The example code for a DAO [0] illustrates how everything from minimum quorum for proposals to margin of votes for a majority is configurable. However like you said, so long as the contract is mutable, it's possible for a majori

51% attacks are a known issue. A sustained 51% attack is pretty much an existential threat to any blockchain. So I doubt the issue gets any better when dealing with individual contracts. https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/0

The AI equivalent to a recursive call bug are self-replicating Von Neumann probe paperclip maximixers that consume the entire universe. We're going to be in a world of hurt if we aren't able to sort this out. It's pretty esse

I posted on the issue tracker and a few other places about this and was shut down. Apparently it's a support issue, not a technical one. From my (limited and potentially erroneous) understanding, Signal hashes each of your local contac

I've gotten out of SFO in 30 mins (post-9/11), no checked bags obviously, boarding pass in hand, with most of that time spent in screening. This is also a good way to be the last person on the plane or miss it entirely.

Nowadays verbatim mode may be synonymous with quotes, but it wasn't always. Google totally nuked it's verbatim search... just try searching for some command line option flag, e.g. "vagrant --debug" or something even more

Bash v2.04+ does something similar, in that it lazy-loads completions. As soon as you type `git ` <kbd>Tab</kbd>, it runs `_completion_loader git`, which determines what file to source, in this case `/usr/share&#x

The script is most akin to the Unix `mv` command, in fact it uses it, so that's why I called it virtualenv-mv. I figured this would be most easily understood. Just out of curiosity, have you used `--relocatable` much? It basically atte

Albeit less featureful than pew or virtualenvwrapper, pyenv[0] is great also. It looks like pew uses virtualenv-clone[1] internally. However a casual test indicated quite a few shebangs unmodified and in the case of venv, the activation scr

If you have any sense whatsoever, you go to an independent shop as soon as you're out of warranty. Also at least in my experience, quite a few owners of older LR's do much of the work themselves.

The way this plays out, it sort of reminds me of Linux (you can do whatever you want, but you're on your own!) versus Apple (we know what you want even better than you do). As a developer, I'm loathe to see my precious configurati

I empathize with the sentiment, particularly with open source and professional tools. But in mobile gaming and learning, parents are big spenders. Even in 2013, parents of children aged 6-12 in the U.S. spent $2.60/mo on mobile game ap

I think you're referencing the 2014 U.S. Mobile App Report by ComScore.[0] For a 3-month period in 2014, 65.5% of U.S. smartphone users download no new application each month. (see figure on page 6) I didn't see any more recent st
