"you have to pull people off or climb over them" Or make a wider ladder?
Usually A/B testing one would think
Where any decision stands on a range between good and bad is a subjective judgement.
In my opinion, UBI is basically communism as a positive side-effect of kick ass capitalism. I tend to think of it in the Star Trek variety. Not so much radical as a natural result of being really good at personal…
If we are all of the same mind on this then it seems like we should start brainstorming ways to make it stop.
I tried to write the long answer and it turned out as a wall of text composed of parenthetical caveats. Then I tried to right the short answer and it turned out as a medium length yet confusing answer. The truth of the…

I agreed with you at first but reading through Urbit's docs and the vox article linked in thread clarified the relationship between the system design and the author's political ideology. Many of the design choices did…
If everyone is given money for a specific product and suppliers are universally aware of exactly how much people can spend on that product then, yes, that can happen. However, under UBI, I think suppliers of goods and…
I'm merely trying to discourage the ambiguous "they" labeling. I think the author is, indeed, a bit to on about the "you should help yourself" mentality. Some people can't or won't even if money is offered and many…
All solvable problems though, no? If no one has to wash dishes in order to survive then you will have to offer a quite decent wage to get people to wash dishes else pay someone to finally make the washing of dishes…
Right-wingers are mostly absent from this conversation. The question at hand is "can we give people enough to amount to a comprehensive solution and thereby save administrative costs"? I don't think any libertarian…
Sorry to basically just negate your post but I do believe that you missed answering the last question in explaining details. The poster asked, how would the provision of basic income further turn healthcare supply in…
Just keep in mind that we will likely never reach the ideal balance between the voice of the people and megaphone of money. The impact of lobbyists and money is a necessary consideration in any discussion of political…
It looks like we went in to a fairly deep reply chain but never got back up to here. Presenting, perhaps, a different take: basic income can cover insurance which does account for the 0-1mil total distribution via…
"people just need information which isn't being readily provided" The breakdown of the nutritional value of every food stuff is literally right in front of the consumer's face. I'm not sure information availability is a…

I find answers such as "my brain is getting slower as I age" distasteful and unsatisfying. One can not do anything with an answer like that. On the other hand, a somewhat careful review of the process can lead in useful…
This is an expected result of a storage system that has finite capacity being tasked with storing a lifetime of useful information. Research on this topic points to the notion that the brain is pretty actively trying to…
As it happens, the ability to reproduce and the ability to respond to stimuli in any manner are generally accepted qualities that distinguish life from non-life. http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Life…
You say there is no point in hiding information if it will be known eventually but "eventually" is a key point. Almost all information, especially personally identifiable information has a temporal component to it. For…
Seems like there never were security issues. At least, none that were talked about widely. I think that should be expected for a single player game. Almost all games are hack-able in some way of course but hacking a…
On the other hand, that is 22.7 million dollars in lost revenue for the company/companies running Washington's prisons. When viewed from that perspective, the move to recapture those released early makes a bit more…
I agree on the first. I'm only advocating for keeping the constructor as the DI entry point. A DI framework can then be used for the convenience they provide in wiring things up at main. Regarding the second: I think…
