The flaw with this analysis is that since the UBI is only claimable if you don’t claim any other welfare, and 1000 a month is significantly less than the average payout from programs like disability, many poor families will be unable to cla

The VAT+UBI is notably bad for anybody on disability today. Disability today averages around $1200 per month. With Yang’s UBI, you choose between disability and UBI - so most people on disability aren’t getting any more cash. But now they h

The state pathologists keep getting paid no matter what their conclusions were. Epsiein's family pathologist only gets paid as long as he's involved in the investigation. If he said "Yep, looks like a suicide", the famil

It's actually fairly normal to not keep people on suicide watch for very long. Full-blown suicide watch is expensive, but furthermore can stress a patient to the point of actually encouraging suicide. Being unable to sleep because your

You're right, I was incorrect there - I was confused because he wasn't on the medical team for the autopsy. Looks like he was there as an observer, being paid by Epstein's family - which also introduces a fairly significant c

This is not the head pathologist who performed the autopsy or anything. This is an pathologist hired by Epstein's family who is notable for saying dramatic things in an apparent attempt to get news time: https://www.nbcnews.

Sure, but I’m not going to let perfect be the enemy of good. Could the review process be improved? Absolutely! But I’ll take some review over no review any day of the week.

I’m not sure I’d call warning people about malware “censoring the internet”. It’s the same system in use in the rest of the world through Google SafeBrowsing. And not just Safari, most other web browsers have some flavour of this as well. B

Yeah, that’s kinda weirdly explained - IIRC MS had OS features that were only available to IE (I don’t remember whether those features were performance-related), while Google has browser features that are only available to Google properties

Eh, it’s not too bad. I found a cable that works and I’ll stick to it. Even with previous-gen Pis there was always a bit of futzing with cables to find one that has small enough voltage drop to not get power warnings (even some otherwise “g

For sure, but I've never seen a bank that notifies you when a transaction gets reversed, altered or canceled. It just happens invisibly. IIRC it's actually a feature, in that some companies will open a transaction against your acc

Can’t this happen with regular bank accounts too? Cheques and transfers can be reversed or altered long after they’ve entered your account without any approval from you or even notification to you. Sure the PayPal support process here sucks

That’s the beauty of it - it works by passively modulating incoming radio frequencies, so it has no power supply. The power comes solely from the incoming radio energy.

The comment was probably poorly received because it presents a lot of things as economic fact, when in reality the evidence is much less conclusive. Many studies have shown the the labor market is far from a simple supply/demand system
