Basic income can be cost neutral.

Basic income is social security that works. Just to be clear, are you against social security?

I use IRC daily at work and also at home (these days I only frequent 1-2 channels at home). IRC is still pretty popular here in Finland among certain people.

It does check if the arguments are correct these days.

You don't need VS for TS. Eclipse and WebStorm support it pretty well. I've evaluated Visual Studio, Eclipse and WebStorm, and Eclipse and WebStorm are better for TypeScript development, at least if you're using Node.js.

Well, even if it's directed at C# by Microsoft, it's used by a lot of people that are not into Visual Studio or Microsoft. TypeScript is a lot more than "IDE tooling", even though proper intellisense makes it a lot of ni

I agree. The good news is that there's Hampton Creek Foods, who are researching egg replacements: https://hamptoncreekfoods.com/

It's unfortunate to see that the product uses animal-based foods, and eggs at that. Something like Soylent should in my opinion be vegan (for the environment and the animals). If I recall correctly, Soylent was pretty close to vegan.

Don't redefine theft to mean "unethical" or "creating a inefficient market" or something.

I wonder why they don't just publish the source repository on the web.

If you strip out the good parts of PHP, you're not left with a good language. With JavaScript you do. That's why modern languages are copying JavaScript's killer features, like anonymous functions and closures. In addition, t

Energy efficiency means many different things. It's tricky to estimate if the total energy efficiency is smaller using a reusable rocket. Could be.

SpaceX is optimizing costs rather than energy-efficiency. Obviously you need less fuel if you're not doing a soft-landing back.

And from what I've heard, bad practices are more common in PHP shops.

I recommend learning JavaScript for web (backend) development. In fact, the OP already knows it.

I think a compromise is more constructive: fix as much as you can in a given period, and then find a better job. Apparently a 4 month programming stint doesn't lookt that good in a CV.

Avoiding surveillance is easy, but it costs money. It turns out most people don't want to pay for it, and the market decides in favour of surveillance. (I'm talking about voluntary surveillance here. Even if there's no volunt

Sad to see such a low-quality article being upvoted on Hacker News. Kinda like that other massively upvoted low-quality article on AI. Anyway, it's a strange article. It says the problem is rent-extraction, which seems to be a nother n

No, there are different kinds of marriages. One can have an agreement that past and future assets are not divided. If you don't like it, don't get such an agreement. >If the concept of sharing your life with another person soun

"Prenuptial agreements" can cover 'future assets' in Finland, if agreed upon. Actually, there's a term called 'antenuptial agreement' which can cover future assets.

Famous last words. I'm not saying that JavaScript is a particularly difficult language to learn, but most people make the mistake of looking at it's syntax and then concluding that "well, it seems pretty similar to Java, I ca
