Interesting project. I wonder what is the relation to approaches that allow explicit composition of enumerators, such as [1]? It seems that this approach could provide a nice interface for generators that need to be constructed explicitly. (This would be interesting to explore. By the way, I am the developer of the SciFe enumerator framework.)

He is not. And don't forget that he deserves much more respect, partly due to his contributions to the software practice, free software, and freedom in general.

This shitty system thrives because of people that think like you.

Firstly, you mention some magical words like "good work", which mean nothing. Secondly, you wrongfully label a large group of people as wanting "something for nothing".

This holds, of course, if we agree that "paying off" means more than managing to survive, which is the only thing most people get for "working hard".

I think Pidgin should fit the bill. Awesome client with a lot of useful plugins.

This is such a straw man... I would like to downvote this comment, at least a couple of times.

If you're thinking Europe, Belgrade, Serbia. A very nice city with balanced weather. Amazing nightlife. Emerging opportunities in tech and startups.

Yes; no specific methodology; tools on linux: Rednote or Lifeograph

Leon (http://lara.epfl.ch/w/leon) -- effectively, a verification/synthesis framework around Scala

Eclipse for Java / Scala / Latex / pretty much everything. Awesome and mature IDE, performance is getting better, high degree of customization, and many other great things.

Perhaps you can kill a bunch of birds (especially those that hurt your privacy :)) with one stone: install Firefox ;)

I am getting tired of people seemingly ignorantly repeating "echo chamber" and using it every time someone mentions Twitter. Systems like Twitter provide great ways for disseminating information -- there is nothing inherent about these systems that makes them "echo chambers" and they're definitely not worse in that aspect than mass media or other social networks like Facebook. So stfu and approach the discussion constructively.

It does actually. Check out http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-stream-and-http-experimental/1...., where a distributed echo example is shown.

That's too bad, pidgin is the only client I want to use, regardless of the protocol...

This is arguably one of the main points of UBI, which should, by construction, solve paternalism. One of the main points is changing people's view on income.

Regular chat capabilities + easy sharing of current browser views, of course. I use it regularly, e.g. when deciding to buy a ticket with my friends.

So many clients, so much effort spent... I wish the shared functionality could be encapsulated and used within other clients (some of which arguably far more flexible and thus usable), like pidgin (which is my favorite) and irssi...

The number is fine; I take it's reasonable since we are talking about ensuring BI for a lot of people. Yes, it makes sense that the money comes from the richest, where we assume the government is actually capable to achieve it in some way.

So you are essentially saying that the money that was hoarded by rich, now would not be spent at all, and in addition, this would raise prices across the market. This does not make any sense to me, since the assumptions that need to hold for that kind of result seem invalid: firstly, you need scarsity of goods in the existing situation for this to happen which is clearly not the case (especially when we talk about demands of the lower and middle class); secondly, demands would go higher yes, but only proportionally to existing division of classes of consumers -- thus, we would essentially have a situation in which all classes get promoted in their "buying power" except the very rich (and therefore, no big disruption to the market overall).

This is a weak argument. First of all, it seems as a strawman argument, since you assume a trillion dollars get somehow injected while the amount of goods and services stay the same. Secondly, you assume people will suddenly stop being productive, which probably might be true in cases where people earn so little that it is much less than the basic income (which is one of the problems basic income tries to solve).

I wonder how does this compare to skype4pidgin [1] -- this pidgin plugin is working very nicely already

Please, not another IDE. Perhaps a compiler or a static analyzer -- the task Haskell is a very good fit for.
