I've always wondered how to make this useful in programming. With discrete mathematics (counting) I wonder what some relevant takeaways are. Do any experts have any examples of using this to make some headway on a research problem or

Are you using ML in your business now? Just wondering Thanks =)

Web is its own beast -- even movie making software has to be learned, certainly true of new software domains. I'd recommend researching your tools thoroughly before diving in, and finally when you choose a few candidate tools try and

Seems really cool -- what's the unifying idea? It's gotta become my "go to" for some one thing. What is that one thing? My recommendations are: personal or public Journal; ability to make combination timelines with fr

The alchemical transformation between needs is in fact what money is for. And money is lost in the transformation due to friction. The computer age is impressive but easily overlooks advances in fields, like Foucault's Order of Thing

Thought experiments are useful for people not versed in Economics -- Einstein's Relativity writings are pretty much just thought experiments. Kuwait dished out the grant for only a year, right? That's different than adding new mo

Fun thought experiment: I have 100 apples created in my orchard yearly but this year I decided to create # fake apples from sugar to help "UBI" the village and I wanted to see the effects. There are 4 people out of 40 below the 3

If your paycheck is $10k you will get $(24k-10k)/2 = $7k. If you "double your salary to $20k" the difference is now $(24k-20k)/2 = $2k. "So you get a $10k raise and take home only $5k more" -- yes that's

Ah, yes that is 100% true and likely to be true of any VAT implementation that hits consumer goods. If a VAT could hit B2B transactions only, it could be possible to "tax the tech companies"

You are sincerely suggesting that means testing for 42% of the population is more costly than tracking if 100% of citizens got their UBI yet. The machinery costs the same per person whether it is dispatching a 1000 dollar check or 12000 do

Right on. What does "regressive" mean in this context?

Mainly because economic velocity of money is higher and the inertia greater for money given to people who have none. If you give a rich person another $12k it will go into a bank or some conceptual entity like a stock or share and will not

Explain your reasoning. No GPI is given to people above the cutoff. Thus minimizing cost while closing the inequality gap. Earn 0: get 12k GPI Earn 10k: get 4k GPI Earn 20k: get 2k GPI Earn 30k: get 0 GPI (for the example of a 24k cut-o

Progressive Income Tax on UBI != Progressive Guaranteed Income. For one, think about China back in the day when people all gave blood to the same vat, and then some contaminated blood caused some otherwise healthy people to get ungood disea

Haha, it couldn't possibly be due to the fact that the microcosm is riddled with snags. This is just moving the inequality gap vertically without shrinking it at all.

While I was a proponent of UBI several months ago, I have found some irreconcilable flaws and would urge everyone to consider Progressive Guaranteed Income, a basic income for people below a certain "climb-out bound." Reasons: +

The title is off because e-mail is as secure as a letter with a stamp. As secure as you and your recipient are.

Oh yeah that's a huge flaw in implementation (that probably every main e-mail vendor is guilty of). If it's prevalent enough, then the article is warranted, but the title and the conclusion are still gross simplifications -- it&#

The metadata would indeed not be encrypted, how else would the message ever arrive? if the post-man could not make out the address or the sender or if the postage was valid -- it's the same issue.

If I encrypt a message and put the secret on an sd-card I hand to my friend at the park, I can mail him encrypted messages over plaintext e-mail and we are safe. Most people don't use it this way, but to say it's impossible to sec

Great idea. The logo is really nice, and if you use two lightbulbs to draw the infinity symbol, you can create an endless fractal animation of zooming-in like the current one suggests. Would be nice to have a simple web interface to try i
