TLDR; When the numbers don't fit the narrative, you need to pick out different numbers. " Here are a few points to keep in mind. Using the $1.90 line shows that only 700 million people live in poverty." It shows that "

That is entirely fallacious reasoning. Your programs could be full of exploitable bugs (and they probably are) yet nobody knows or cares enough to exploit them. OpenSSL had trivial errors unchecked and presumably unexploited for years.

That doesn't seem like a common term and I'm not sure that's what the parent was referring to. Either way, my argument stands.

There's no "consumer class". Every person is a consumer, including those who are entrepreneurial. Being entrepreneurial simply means you are in charge of what gets produced. The market then decides whether what you are produc

No, the comfort zone is staying with your low-paying job that couldn't even sustain you if it wasn't for that extra paycheck. It's not really clear from the video, but neither of these people could possibly be living off of 5

I don't think the woman slacked, she did get a job, but she was living above her means when it was clear that the program would end at some point. I also think that this is exactly what this kind of UBI will do: Subsidize low-paying jo

TLDR: Two unemployed people are shown, each receiving 560€ a month with no strings attached. For comparison, median income in Finland is 2900€. The woman doesn't seem to have learned any trade (at least it's not mentioned) and has

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison though, Presto didn't support HTML as thoroughly and it has since dropped out of the race entirely. We can't be piling more and more high-level crap onto the standard and expect Moor

Comparative advantage shows that production in either countries is improved, increasing supply and therefore putting pressure on prices, increasing the purchasing power. This simply isn't redistribution of income. An individual wor

I don't know where you got this idea, but the argument for comparative advantage has nothing to do with the redistribution of income, nor is there a claim of "fairness" towards each and every individual or interest group. To

First of all, where's the evidence of these supposed high-entry monopolies? Seems more like a thought experiment to me. Secondly, you're only looking at the negative consequences for some workers. You're not looking at the

Of course not. One could give any number of examples where a benefit for society takes precedence over that of the individual.

That's basically the fallacy of predatory pricing. It doesn't work. Sure, you can raise prices after killing the competition, but only so far as to not revive the competition. Your price ends up as the fair market price . Cost of

Flow-like layout is just a sub-problem of 2D Layouting. Having it as the only way to do layouting (besides tables) has proven a nightmare to work with. That's why you got Flexbox (and now Grid).
