That 7.5T in payouts doesn't just disappear from the economy. Most people will put almost all of that payment right back into the economic equation through consumerism. In most models the basic income would be pretty close to the cost

//"Math checks out" is a questionable approach to understanding science. Very much agree. By this standard, one could put "1+1=2" as an appendix to every article you ever write and then defend them as having va

Actually, I thought of an analogy that helps me reason about this. If we think of the VCS like a text editor, then a branch is like a file that you can write changes to. However, if you're working on an unnamed file, then the editor (o

I'm late-twenties/early-thirties. I'm probably just on the old side to still be perfectly happy to rent a room in a shared apartment. If I find myself in a long-term relationship then I imagine my priorities will change, but

You Could Have Invented Monads is what really made monads "click" for me. There are better tutorials for how to use monads in the real world, but I've never read a better description of why you would want to, if you don'
