Not sure. In a normal, gradual rise in wages, this might be true. But in a massive, sudden income increase, I personally would try increasing my prices (by at least some) immediately. And more over time.

You're saying I should go live in the countryside, away from everyone? Yeah, teleconferencing is possible, but I don't know that most people would want to. It's also impractical to build public transportation that far out (yo

I figure low-rent areas will have rents go up as well. It may take longer, but it will ripple through the whole economy.

Whoa, this is starting to sound kinda disturbing. Serious Brave New World stuff here. Let me guess, the government should encourage and provide freely sterilization? And every woman should wear a Malthusian belt? This kind of population con

Yes. The white Irish in Boston are the stock example of this (speaking as someone who has part of my family from there). I have heard story after story from people who really do live and die reliant on this. I would also say that the poor h

Zerodium might generally traffic in RCE because they're typically of the highest value. They would likely judge that to be of comparable value to some RCEs, if for no other reason because of the number of devices affected. Zerodium als

Like most rational actors, they try to minimize the tax they pay. However, even a little tax on a trillion-dollar company adds up to a lot. They still pay quite a bit.

I still see some big issues with universal basic income, and would appreciate one of its supporters responding to some of them: Cost. $3.8 trillion by many estimates. That's nearly 20% of America's GDP. How is it possible to pull

Yeah, not a fan of the whole european server thing. Needless lag when no non-American will use it. Also, not a fan of European regulations. Having a European server might make me subject to GDPR (?) (or other regs I don't know about),
