FB buys TWTR, only short-term distraction tactic I can think of right now. I jest... I dont think that would be a good idea for many reasons. But FB seems it will only innovate through acquisitions - and now would be the time.

I am not sure how you enforce this - and that seems to be the sticking point in the article. UBI should be universal to everyone so you don't create incentives problems where you have charlatans claiming they are artists.
