I feel like there isn’t much ‘clash’ (debate term) between what you’re saying and Ben Thompson’s article. Ben isn’t attacking the concept of Net Neutrality, he’s instead attacking Title II classification. Ben puts forward a few arguments. F

I can’t tell if you’re talking about the FCC promising Forbearance with Title II classification, or if you’re talking about ISPs.

Who is to decide the direction of our shared, aligned economy and development? Why is this alignment preferable to a more competitive free market or a command economy (China)?

If you want to brand basic income in a way for conservatives, advocate for a Negative Income Tax (Friedman's idea) as an alternative to welfare bureaucracy.

That would be a great way to destroy the ICC, and sorta fuckup the whole world in a lot of ways.

Those are some great points - I didn’t think much about sporadic work. UBI is probably easier to implement administratively than trying to change check sizes every week. I think though politically it’s easier to stomach if you’re of a leani

You don’t have a hard and fast threashold but have it taper off on a progressive curve.

No. Universal Basic Income is ‘Universal’, meaning there’s no qualification to receive it. Basically it’s flat and it goes to everyone equally, rich and poor. A negative income tax is a progressive tax system that starts off in the negative

Can someone explain to me why UBI is preferable to a negative income tax? I don’t get why we’ve come up with a worse version of a 40 year old idea. Are these two ships passing in the night or were there some perceived problems with Negative

The government should be providing a sense of community and belief system?

I don’t think this was all about money. Raja had been trying to run Radeon Technologies Group like an independent company and pushing for separation from AMD for a while. HardOCP did a good piece on this -> https://hardocp.com

Surely we shouldn’t investigate every country in the world in regards to every election we’ve had?

I never used twitter before the 2016 election. I don't use twitter to communicate with people I know in real life, but I know my father and I both started using it as a place we can put on a pseudoname and talk about politics openly, w

Twitter and other social media networks should be seen as common carriers and not interfere with what people post. Twitter should be able to exercise their free speech on their own twitter account, not by censoring other users. It is ideal

Yes, I think you have it correct for the US. The US is also very unique in which it’s the only country that expects you to pay taxes on money earned overseas as well.

I am more familiar with American tax law than Norwegian but I have huge doubts it’s illegal to have money offshore. Having money in more than one country is a pretty good hedge. When the Greek banks shut down and imposed atm restrictions, o

Allowing people to keep their own money does raise the standard of living for all parties involved, but that’s a marginal benefit and not the core ‘argument’ why the wealthy should be allowed to keep what they make. Why should the governmen

Isn’t the underlying assumption when talking about (air quotes) “cheating” taxes is that taxes are supposed to be redistributive? If someone is following the letter of the law, how can they be cheating? Well, they can be cheating if they ar

Just tacking a question on here - when creating a student account, should I be setting my location to where I’m attending school or where I’m planning on being after graduating? Looks like interviewing.io is tackling a big issue. :-)

I wanted to tack on here that even our agriculture has a huge environmental impact — nothing worse for biodiversity than how we’ve replaced animal habitats with fields of a single crop! And then pesticides etc. I don’t know if it ever happe

What’s the point if the other story has no discussion, other than to kill the topic again?

That’a great. I totally understand that. I just see people that dislike the actions but like the... personality?

I get it if you are a fan of Manning because you believe in the work Wikileaks does, but I don’t understand why institutions and individuals that have been largely critical of Wikileaks during the 2016 election cycle also characterize Manni

This has been how most Apple News stories have worked for a while. I wonder if it's the same page generation for Apple News as AMP?

Certbot defaults to a path on your system that requires root, and sets permissions so non-root users can't look at your private keys. If you would like to use it without root/sudo, you can pass flags changing the directory it uses

Required jobs scale very very poorly with population. I wouldn't be surprised if the rate was something less than 1 additional person in the workforce for every 10 additional people in the population.

As a Seattle Norwegian I think it's too bad what's happened to Ballard! At least we still have our parade, although it's not as nice as it used to be (a lot more drinking and non-norwegian stuff) and my family isn't sure
