That's not UBI though; and defeats a lot of the positives of UBI.

I love the idea of a universal basic income. It makes sense from a humanitarian standpoint, an automation taking away jobs standpoint and a minimizing bureaucracy standpoint. But I have to admit, if you look at it from a pure numbers perspe

I think that although handwriting won't be going away for some time, I've come to find that I'm using digital mediums for note-taking more often and it's becoming more popular (see Apple Pencil, Surface Pro Pen). If this

Maybe they don't either? Looks like a lot of test pivots?

Neither you nor the white paper explain why it would lead to mass adoption by players unaffiliated with Kik- it's the biggest assumption here and why its looking like an over-engineered in-app currency. Moreover, Kin as a reward given

by dyarosla 9y ago
That was exactly my thought process. A cryptocurrency only has value if it's seen as valuable in multiple contexts. There's no indication why value would increase externally of Kik for Kin.

If you do use the graph as reference, it is actually more like the percentage dropped by ~ 11.5% (this is by counting out the cumulative percentage represented by each bar)- which is not at all what you would eyeball it at. Like I said, rea

That graph is terrible and hard to decipher: from it alone I would not be able to say that there's any indication of a significant increase in real income for the poor.

I have to admit, I've been on iOS for years and only ever use Safari for browsing, and NEVER had I heard about this tap the top bar to scroll to the top behavior.

Definitely better. Next suggestion would be to decrease spacing between each header and its details below, as well as minimize the number of font sizes you have (your by line and your tags lines are 1.5em and 1.6em, your header is another s

Just a comment on your side project: replacing the font would help tremendously. Super hard to read through listings in a font not suited for legibility.

I didn't downvote you, but I am genuinely curious where you got the idea that we know how to live on Mars already?

It's a truly great resource. Have you thought about the Primer for people who are newer to curves? For those unfamiliarized and looking to start adopting beziers, the Primer's layout, length and depth may be off-putting from a lea

I liked the fact that it started with language design too. One of the links points to a Paul Graham essay which touches on the idea that "You Need an Application to Drive the Design of a Language"; that writing a language for the

It sounds like you're turning a deaf ear to the fact that it is a problem. Both apps are used for designing applications (even though the functionality and what kind of design is different). I wouldn't be surprised if your mentors

This was also the first thing I thought. Sketch is a well-known (artistic) design tool. I'm sure you fellas already know that but decided to stick with it anyway. In reality, it really doesn't associate with your product all that

This is not a physics engine. It's a springy/ease-friendly ui engine.

I don't think you understand the concept of paycheck to paycheck. Although it may be the case that some people living paycheck to paycheck spend outside their means on luxuries like brand name coffees, there are also those people for w

I agree with you; I also think there's an opportunity here. I wonder what the biggest cost would be to such a company. Maintenance?

There's a ton of cynicism here with very little substance. Perhaps over generalizing developers; many of whom do appreciate open source?

I think you nailed it when you said exclusiveness: with so many companies per batch, there's less incentive for a startup to be one of the hundreds of companies in the YC portfolio now over any other VC firm. Yes, YC carries some brand

Better suggestion. Dont use words. It's a math game. You should be able to showcase what to do with ONLY visuals. Darken out the game on the first missile. Highlight the missile with a focus circle. Then point to one specific equation

I've done a lot of research into other VPLs as well, and in theory, all of these ideas are sound. Unfortunately, it seems like VPLs only work well for well-defined domains (say, a VPL for shaders, a VPL for compositing, a VPL for EE, a

There have been very many attempts. Scratch is a pre-cursor to Blockly[0] Code.org has an in-house build on top of Blockly[1] and then there are mobile apps like Hopscotch & Tynker based on Scratch[2][3]. There's also full-fledged

I mean, these ideas are nice... in theory. But to play devil's advocate: a) Statistics? b) Can an argument not be made that with programming/developing/designing at work AND at home, burnout is more likely? Or that less overa

I use doxygen mixed with dot for rendering the UML. Mostly for looking over the layout of the code after it's written to make sure there aren't any lines/dependencies that there shouldn't be. The nice thing is that this
