I read those comments. They're exactly what I meant by "you keep claiming this". Claiming it's so is not evidence. Perhaps you missed that in your weariness. My question stands: Do you have any evidence for this other th

So you keep claiming, but actual trials of mincome/BI/whatever haven't shown a significant dropout of labour. Do you have any evidence for this other than your gut feeling?

I knocked one together for the UK, if it helps. But it is 'back of napkin'. There are all sorts of details you'd want to fill out. Here: [There were requests for "back of a napkin" calculations, so I've done so

You mean like you invented the idea of "warp" for space travel? Every work of art is derived from previous works.

I do find it interesting that the replies concentrated on point #2 as a stopping point. On point #1: If I, personally, had to give up my job and perhaps even face personal abuse, in order to stop someone from being tortured....I think I mig

Apologies for any snark. What you actually said was, "Helmets are pretty universally known to reduce traumatic brain injuries." This is wrong and not what you are now saying. You are now saying that among people who have suffered

There are on only two paragraphs about this in the Wikipedia link you gave, and the second one ends: Elvik writes "When the risk of injury to head, face or neck is viewed as a whole, bicycle helmets do provide a small protective effect

I believe Terminal.app handles mouse events differently, so the standard tmux config doesn't work right. Maybe see if https://bitheap.org/mouseterm/ improves matters for you.

Are you suggesting it's difficult to find articles that criticise China on the Internet?

No, it's entitlement to think that your time is so much more valuable than other people's. So much so, that you think it's acceptable to waste their time and effort because you're too lazy to add 1 line of text to a READ

From a quick Google there appear to be about 10^120 possible chess games. So if you could store each game as 1 bit then: Landauer's principle says we need at least 10^-21 Joules to change a single bit. That means we need 10^99 Joules t

Well, if by "better" you mean "much worse". OSX font rendering is basically inconsistent, blurry blobs (yes, I've used OSX for years as well as various Linux distros). That's fine if that's what you like,

Unsurprisingly, I think you're wrong! An unspoken assumption in your essay seems to be that people can only have one cultural identity, which is plainly incorrect. There is also no definition given of what it means for a culture to &#x

Fair enough, but the 5960X is still a better comparison, surely?

Isn't the 2010-era Intel Core i7 980X about twice the price of the 2014-era Intel Core i7 5930K? In other words, aren't you comparing a high end CPU from 2010 to a medium range CPU from 2014?

I don't understand the problem. Which VCS does tell you what your developers are doing on their machines before they commit to your main repository?
