Not to mention it improves their well being exactly because they are better off relative to the people who are not getting UBI. I forget what the conjecture is called in economics that UBI would essentially all be captured by rent and housi

To take a counter view.. I have literally been waiting to get into VR since 1993 and the Lawnmower man. Why do I not have a system? It is not cost. It is not building the system. I would say the main reason is I don't like video games

You don't see the flaw in this line of thinking that if you solved what you suggest you just raise the bar and are left with exactly the same problem?

The problem is these protest are not effective, period. All this is ultimately doing is making racist people more racist. I am a white guy and my girl is black. You know how much we talk about race? None, zero, never. It only ever comes up

BWV 999 prelude for life! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnpaMm_2QYc Bach's lute music towers over everything ever made to me. Can't listen to it on guitar either. Has to a real lute. don't care either if it

Absolutely, I personally hate Trump and Facebook but he is still the president. The idea it is even a discussion to censor the president is lunacy.

Totally agree. If all the cars in the area know one of the cars is about to do something and can adjust accordingly then it will be so much safer than what we have now it is almost unimaginable. It would seem at some point in the future, pe

There is also an easy solution of just staying put. I have driven in snow a few times that I was not sure I was even on the road. Or the only way I knew I was going the right direction was because I could vaguely see the break lights of the

We should just give everyone $100k a month so we can all be rich. If you think that is a stupid idea then what is the threshold with a lower amount that this becomes a smart idea? What evidence is there that whatever threshold you come up w

Everyone has different talents. Without those bloodthirsty vultures we would have a hard time allocating capital to the right projects. My experience with straddling a bunch of different worlds is that people in technology are often just im

I am sure a big factor with this is being married with kids also. I work in sales and pushing 50 but have no kids or wife. I am spending most the day today drinking coffee and trying to learn to think in functional javascript. The day just

The problem with this though is all the data I look seems to be such a huge % of deaths of people over 75-80. That demographic is going to die soon from something. There is a level of irrationality with all this in pretending that we are dr

We basically have had a bubble in restaurants. Based on Yelp and google we have about 29 Indian restaurants here and 25 craft beer breweries. There is not a big Indian population here. I love Indian food but 29 restaurants is absurd. 10 yea

While I agree with you 100%, the average person in general is just clueless. I was talking with my mother last week and she had never heard of bitcoin. She is on facebook literally all day but had not even heard the word bitcoin before. She

I just don't agree we should be discussing how every American can go to college. I am a drop out. I really had no business ever going to college in the first place. I love what I do now but I had to figure things out on my own. Free co

There is nothing more disturbing than this poison in the minds of young people that an idea they don't agree with should be destroyed. It just feels like it is a matter of time until we have something as insane as the French Revolution

It is an absurdity to believe there has never been a good trading strategy published in a paper. The real value though of publishing a trading strategy is in signaling to future employers. Ultimately, money is made by the ability to come up

Not me. I am like a high energy dog that needs to be walked until the owner is annoyed. I love my normal life. This lack of stimulation right now is terrible for my mental health.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with the adaptive display on is just better than any book IMO. The lighting is always perfect, the text is clearer than paper. I will be heart broke then I eventually have to replace it. To do anything but read on

I have always found the idea that we in the US shit on China's accounting practices rather hysterical. If "The pot calling the kettle black" ever applies it is for that.

IMO if you have never tried KDE plasma and install KDE connect on your mobile devices you have no idea what you are missing. KDE connect is irreplaceable 5 minutes after you install it.

No comparison is fair if someone hasn't used Plasma. I could not care less about "freedom" or these other philosophical aspects of Linux. Plasma is just straight up amazing on every level.

I think it is reflection of the total bubbles people live in. I have facebook and not a single person has deleted their account. Honestly, I doubt any of my friends on facebook know or care about this "movement". It is just some g

haha absolutely. I even noticed this with a black and white picture of some AI startup group picture google bought. It looked exactly like a band picture from the 90s. Everyone all serious looking, different fashions, the lead singer/c
