Wikipedia itself is high-maintenance because of the volatile deletionism. I appreciate the patience of the practical editors who have an inclusionist bent, but the add/protect process is too inefficient/risky for my liking. A lot

AMD keeping the same standard TDPs at 105W and 65W was such a good design decision. Clear contrast to Samsung's oft-criticized MLC to TLC move with their 980 Pro. People care about both absolute TDP and power efficiency.

The cost of a product is not only replacement price but also replacement time. Replacing with an alternative is more cost than an identical. High-quality long-life products have excellent value efficiency. The key to online review info is c

Thought experiment. Suppose 10K people have the technology and willingness to volunteer enough worktime to provide the essentials for all of the US. Some basic income program is implemented to distribute these necessities. Possible? Yes. Su

We need a new economy. The ability to work and survive does not need to be so precarious. If households could make everything themselves, no abstract shock or "job market" would disturb them. But that is not reality. The key chall

Which is better? Basic income or guaranteed jobs? Are we ok if Alex works 40hrs/wk for 50K/yr total income while Brett and his girlfriend work 0 for 30K/yr? If robots do actually everything prices are zero. No need for BI or

This is why options are dangerous. Other people set the price of the stock. That said, stocks are fundamentally safer. If you own company X and they succeed/profit well longterm, you receive great dividends regardless of the stock pric

High unemployment means that people with money are buying too slowly and/or too non-uniformly. The responsibility to spend money quickly/uniformly falls intuitively on the rich, and thoughtfully also with the poor. Everyone, truly

How many hours of other people's worktime do you consume every day? Obviously they want you to work for them too. That's what trade is. So what does fair trade look like? How much forced charity is fair?

Pumping young and dumb people full of debt is bad design. This phenomenon will die as we upgrade the economy.

Junk info removed, mediocre info replaced, tags avoided, logically indexed, curation anti-gaming power-tiered, simplicity focused. I like the principles a lot. I assume that "using questions" means something like contributors post

Agreed. I wouldn't want to waste my time reading or organizing trash info. Focusing on high quality info makes sense. Time is limited so we better make and live using efficient systems. Without the clickbait adpalooza value inversion f

Pierce the abstraction. A builder spends 2000 hrs this year making your home. You pay him back 420 hrs annually over 5 years. Some debts are just fine.

Reliability work is unfortunately under-observed and under-valued... until its absence triggers an incident.

Agreed money printing solves the gross income promise. I meant real income as the problem as well. UBI, guaranteed jobs, seems all these solutions fundamentally require sufficient money flow to work. People spending slowly (rich or poor) me

I'm doubtful of any tax-based plan as a longterm solution. Here's why. Money needs to flow in a circle for a sustainability. But we can't force people to spend all their money monthly and even then tax is not 100% so net neg

Consider absolute numbers. Suppose monthly food expenses drop to $100. That's 2-3 hours of work for each person to eat monthly. X 330M = 1 billion hours per month. And that's just food. In practice, fair work sharing still seems c

by Unsimplified 7y ago
My problem with UBI is 1. It's not fair work-sharing, if people can live on it. 2. There's no economic mechanism that guarantees we'll have enough money to fund it every month. I propose another solution. Accessible, high pay

What do you think most compels these people to force thru their buying/highlvl decisions despite strong technical pushback? Ego defense? Desire to participate in the actual work to seem they know what they're leading? Tunnel visio

In a 2 person economy, if person A stops cycling money back (thru trade not debt), person B suffers. Something similar happens in a 300M person economy, so I agree, self driving money would be a great solution.
