You know, your first paragraph sounds strikingly similar to the premise of an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Critical Care ( http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Critical_Care_%28episode%29 )... They also found the idea silly

Is it really any different from traditional insurance? Don't most insurance companies take money from all their clients, and use it on a fairly small number of those clients? I personally don't see the "trap" you referen

I watched most of Breaking Bad for the first time this summer (all but the final eight episodes), and while I really like Walt at the beginning, these last few episodes (really starting with Say My Name , the second to last episode in the

BBT doesn't flesh out those characters. Most other shows I watch do. Ben Wyatt on Parks and Rec comes off as a much more realistic nerd than any of the characters on BBT. Abed Nadir in Community is also a whole lot more fleshed out tha

Some argue that if it makes calls to a GPL application, it's a derivative work, which means it must also be GPL. This means that if one part of the stack is GPL, everything higher must also be GPL.

I looked at Kirby. My problem is I don't really want to pay for it. Were I to pay, I'd probably go with Statamic, which is similar to Kirby, but looks nicer. Mostly I don't want to pay because I like the idea of open source,

I've found that since WordPress switched to the current sidebar navigation over the old one (the four main headings, of which Write was first, iirc) it's a pain to write blog posts. I'm also not a fan of the large number of

Maybe. I've been using a host of static site generators for about a year now, and for the less serious blog they seem to get in the way. I'd prefer to have everything online, accessible from any computer with an internet connectio

Why can't you get it done and have an elegant solution? WordPress kinda forces you away from elegant solutions, but other CMSs don't...

I agree, we don't need to reinvent blogging every few years, but WordPress has moved beyond just a blogging platform, and is a full-featured CMS. Blogging is no longer the main emphasis of WordPress. Were WordPress to refocus on bloggi

Are all of those needs or wants? And what are the costs compared to urban living? Gas especially for my first question.

by dkuntz2 13y ago
Well, yes, you don't need to work unless you want to. But is urban living a basic need? I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not...

Most of the people commenting are probably urban or suburban residents, and as such, the minimum living wage is considered a lot higher than in a rural area. Basic Income shouldn't provide people the ability to live in an urban or subu

The money could come from a number if sources, like all existing welfare programs, or public pensions, which are already incredibly high, and could be substantially lowered. Or we could cut our ridiculous military budget by a tiny fraction.

by dkuntz2 13y ago
Alternatively, we could find such a system by: 1. Using public pensions. While unlikely to be supported by the people making the laws (it is their pension), if they have basic income, they don't need a pension. 2. Move all funds curr

It's less teaching them to lie, and more aiding them in defrauding the state. If he didn't know their purpose it wouldn't be a problem.

Considering that polygraphs give false positives quite frequently, and polygraph tests are inadmissible as evidence in the US, I can't see how teaching someone to manipulate one should be illegal... Of course, the guy didn't just

I think it has more to do with the intent behind the project. Startups are businesses, and the intent behind them is typically to make money. Research projects don't intend to make money. Or, they do, but as a fairly low priority. It s

I wouldn't say they all hate Ubuntu. They just don't prefer it. Speaking for myself, I think it has a fine core, and recommend the Gnome Remix to most people looking to get into Linux. I just don't really like Unity (mostly b

I'm quite fond of Gnome 3. It's gotten a whole lot better since it started (it was kind of a mess when they started). Every two-ish releases I try out Ubuntu again to see if Unity's better, and each time it seems like they ne

The core of Ubuntu is fine, I just don't really like Unity. While you can technically use regular Ubuntu and install Gnome, I've always had some weird stuff happen because Unity's still around. My typical suggestion for other

I would rather use PHP over JavaScript. I know that puts me in a smallish subset of people here, but I really don't like JavaScript.

Right, but what if you're borrowing a computer. I completely agree, it's more private, but it might lose some of the ease of use. I think a bug rain that things like Statemic and other databaseless systems are popular is because t
