Eventually to the negative? We aren't FORCED to create things. Even once the marginal cost is effectively zero, things still have a cost. Just make less of it.

I can see what their though process is. 1. All resources are distributed for labor in an open market. 2. All resources are held, some are distributed for labor in an open market, some are distributed for UBI. 3. All resources are held, ther

How do those two accomplish the same ends? UBI gives money, a tax takes money. Even if the wealth tax could go negative at low income levels, it doesn't seem obvious that this would _augment_ UBI.

A big reason is simple: proximity. I know that space travel isn't always linear for efficiency reasons, but with optimistic travel to our closest destination taking 3 months, anything further begins to decay the dream that they could s

"world object" is the new term you introduce. It is, admittedly, more common than "unum" and not new in the sense that its parts are familiar, but you're already defining a new term. It is a bit odd, but I think I l

Do they have a lower effective resolution at different projections due to light reflected being somehow less direct (more reflections?)?

I mean, we don't really know the limits of human neuroplasticity. It is certainly a stretch, but I wouldn't rule it out for young children. A crazier example, to me, is the Moken children in Thailand who can see clearly underwater

It is interesting that the reproduced image seems rotated from the color image. Is that change an artifact of the algorithm or being NLOS, or is it the angle of the perspective (for lack of a better word since I'm not really sure how y

Race, gender, religion, disability... I'm probably forgetting a few other protected classes that you can't discriminate against. That said, you only cannot discriminate on the basis of one of those listed above. There are unfortun

Whether or not it is your intention, all you're doing is sowing doubt and suspicion. You are NOT creating meaningful discourse.

You seem to be asking about an unlikely hypothetical for the sole purpose of legitimizing the actions taken, making the risk seem plausible.

If you buy into the mainlands propaganda, no, you probably won't be comfortable. But the protests have been nothing but peaceful, so there really isn't any reason to have fear.

What domain is the problem you're solving in that you can effectively run unikernels? i.e., you don't need something that ultimately doesn't run well in unikernels. For example, our application is a web app - that by itself c

I think you have it backwards. The biggest companies that are already avoiding taxes can justify the lawyer costs to do it again. Besides, they typically already have dozens of subsidiaries that are largely invisible to most employees and b
