I think people in free nations should be concerned about their own governments scrutinizing their actions, whether it's through private date or public. The government is granted a lot of privilege which could be abused, and has been in

As a professional C++ programmer who hasn't used C since the compiler limited me to C89 (so 2015ish), I am very impressed by how clean C code can look these days. This was a great talk. There are a lot of really good things in modern C

I'm not at all convinced of UBI, but does your math include removing all the tax that pays for benefits that would no longer be needed such as unemployment, social security, etc.? It seems removing those benefits would reduce the tax b
