This is an interesting angle I never considered. I think that a lot of us are seeing UBI as a flat rate everyone gets. I never thought of it evolving into different levels for different categories of people.

I want to believe in it, but the skeptic in me wants to ask how this isn't a vehicle for the rich to get richer: If every $25 gets you a ticket, then someone with a $50 account has far worse odds than someone with a $5000 account. Of c

Fascinating article. I can assume that most of these men were not gay, but rather used gay sex as an outlet for pleasure given the hopeless circumstances they were in. What struck to me most though, is the eventual development of romantic r

"don't mock" How are you meant to write a unit test for a class without mocking out external dependencies? Wouldn't that make it an integration test?

For anyone questioning the imperative mood ("Add module x" as opposed to "Added module x"), what helps me it to think of each commit as a patch being applied. When I think of a patch it's almost always a patch that

I've been using this for years for basic knowledge store. It's great how you can also link to other wiki notes like anchors on a webpage. On a side note: The 3rd screenshot. Is that really possible? Shifting all done tasks to the

The apology feels cheap, as there's no mention of any repercussions whatsoever for the mining giant. Looks like it's business as usual. It's a terrifying precent set here when mining companies can simply blow up ancient sites

I'm finding this a concept a little hard to understand, but it vaguely sounds like a system involving hyperlinkable notes. Wouldn't vimwiki basically accomplish this?

Hi, I used Grafana in my last company and absolutely loved it. How do I convince my current company to get the hell off Datadog?

(a) I was young(er), (b) I recall other highly-funded startups failing at the time, (c) at the time the whole thing just sounded laughable/sketchy. Not to mention I was on a visa...

I feel so bitter right now. A recruiter asked me to join them back in 2016 and they were paying $200k+ for a senior backend role. I turned them down because I was on a visa and wanted a company with financial stability. A gif-search engine

Wow ... thanks for this, but a lot of this reads like daunting and sobering JD of people constantly knocking at your door with problems. What are some of the positives? Besides a higher salary?

For those who were around during the mid-2000s, is this basically another revival of SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)? I watched one of the explanation videos and it brought back memories. My dislike of the phase back then, which I hope

Lol thanks. Love how their design is so heavily "inspired" by RobinHood :-)

I'm not an expert in trading, but I thought that you could only invest in the indexed/mutual funds available in your country? I'm not sure your average Indian can, say, start putting money in any Vanguard fund available to Am

I honestly thought that Google's shopping tab was a search aggregator into other shopping portals (Amazon, AliExpress, etc) In the same way that Google news isn't actually Google serving the news.

Not just Europe, but also China and a host of other countries I bet.

I was thinking of this the other day. Perhaps this pandemic will help reshape our global economy away from its current monolithic structure into self-sustainable micro-service economies where all regions can self-sustain to a large level. (

The problem I've always had as a night owl is related to the gym. I would always get the best workouts in the evening, with the downside being that I wouldn't be able to sleep that night. Though I was technically exhausted my mind

So I wasn't aware that wet paper is hard to recycle. That kinda sux... Apart from this I sometimes wonder how far robot technology has come in being able sort out papers and plastics from incoming garbage.

As someone who uses IntelliJ all day long I couldn't use a 40% keyboard at work due to all the layering combinations needed for F1 -> F12. However I did try for a while, and the best I've gotten to is remapping my Caps Lock key

Do you do any type of exercise (gym/weights) apart from cycling to work? If so, how does such comparatively little sleep affect your recovery?
