That would be easier if there was work available.

You seem unfamiliar with the statistics in Finland.

There is something like a few ten thousand open jobs available. Let's round that up to 50,000.

There are over 200,000 unemployed.

Even if the job market was 100% efficient there just isn't work for everyone in Finland at the moment.

Qbertino mentioned the real reason universal/basic income is being experimented with.

The article and the current Finnish Government may say that, but that's not what is actually happening. They are not trying anything else.

The current Finnish Government is a right-wing coalition that does ideology-based policy making to a point where they ignore all potential negative consequences, criticism and even studies done AT THEIR REQUEST, if they happen to contradict what the Government has already decided they'll do.

Specifically with this issue they don't want universal income or anything that could be perceived as a hand out. Instead they want unemployed people to work for unemployment benefits (wait...what?...yes, exactly)

They're pursuing a very traditional conservative, right-wing economic and political agenda familiar to anyone who knows about what Margaret Thatcher did in the UK, and the GOP has done in the United States for a few decades now.

Reducing stress is also a good way good way to save on secondary costs. Lower stress levels lead to all kinds of positive effects, like lesser amounts of problem behavior (like excessive drinking) and less sickness. In a society like Finland where a bulk of the costs of such things are taken care by the Government with tax money, that's significant.

Second Wunderlist. Multi-platform, all the features I can hope for, great UX, fast and easy to use.

Microsoft To-Do, which is being implemented by the Wunderlist team after they were bought by Microsoft, is slowly, very slowly catching up. Once To-Do implements nested projects / lists, I think I'd be ready to jump ship.

That's not fair. If Verizon asked him to admit it, he would.

I've been using the 64-bit version of Firefox on my desktop PC for about a month.

The memory use of the application is regularly blowing up. Last week after leaving the PC and Firefox open for the day while I was at work, I came back home only to find out my computer crawling and Firefox process taking 10GB of memory. That's up from about 800MB at startup.

The memory reports aren't working either, so I can't figure out what's going on easily.

Or an information broker like Acxiom. That company, and its competitors, do exactly what this company does.

Is there a way for me to invest in laptop theft rings at US airports? I'd be a millionaire after this rule goes in effect.

This business model has been perfected by Somali pirate gangs.

According to the US Government roughly 35% of all tourists to the country come from Western European countries. I'm pretty sure your idea will work real well.

No notification from them in my email box.

I don't visit their forums daily, so a flash message on their forums isn't gonna do me any good. I suspect a very large majority of the registered forum users are inactive users like me.

The politicians who have the power to fix these issues have negative incentives for fixing this issue. The flow of money from corporate campaign donations would magically funnel to candidates who completely coincidentally oppose fixing the tax code.

This is why campaign finance reform is such an important issue. The corruptive nature of all that money from corporations and rich folks is skewing our public policy.

I usually read at +3 or +4, but I give extra +5 score to flamebaits. I started doing it years ago after reading about the idea from somebody else. Those posts are funny/interesting often enough that I haven't reverted it.

His costs are not beyond market value, because he reduced his million dollar salary to $70K as well.
