It's not government handouts, it's the product of automation. You don't get to own the world just because you were one of the guys who owned the machines. Capitalism is a system, it's a good system but it's far from perfect and we have plenty of billionaires to make that abundantly clear. Someone isn't worth more because they found market inefficiencies (since you likely don't know the actual definition: an inefficiency is basically "profit" - that's an actual failure of capitalism within the capitalist free market paradigm) to exploit. Market inefficiencies == improperly utilized resources and capitalism == a system by which we distribute resources.
In the NAZI death camps they would make people carry sacks from one side of the camp to the other. When they were done, to deprive them of the sense of gratification they would derive from knowing they had at least achieved something, they would then have to carry them back to where they started. Even a fast food worker can derive some vague sense of satisfaction from having done something, that's more than someone who gets dumped into an even more directionless life. I don't believe their potential suffering outweighs those of people who would make good use of basic income simply on the grounds that people who create are inherently worth more as people than those who don't, but you can't just gloss over the issue that you're potentially taking a lot from them, even if they're too dim to realize that. Once you make that choice you step into clear psychopath/sociopath territory: it's OK to scam people because they were dumb enough to be scammed - if you aren't dumb enough to never have seen the issue you don't get to gloss over it and retain your moral integrity when making that choice.
That isn't to say people need jobs, but even with basic income (or especially with, depending how you look at it) you need something to do. DIY/hobby/maker culture more or less has people most suitable for basic income, but a lot of people simply aren't thinking in those terms. Chances are basic income would be great for some segment of the population while the other segment would spiral into opiate and alcohol fueled depressions while trying to find some meaning to fill their spare time. Personally, I'd say go with basic income because the people who can fill their time are inherently worth more as people and shouldn't suffer due to the needs of those soulless automatons meant for fast food service. Given enough time even helping people who can't think find things to do will likely become a hobby in itself.
Guessing what they mean is "Bezos couldn't find new loopholes to launder money and take writeoffs through," because Amazon made that guy a fortune on profits.
Don't forget to go paperless, that way your balance can be modified retroactively with fake trips to Starbucks or whatever else you commonly make. Keeps those fees well hidden and you within the bounds of your class limitations.
What's the point of storing sense data? The purpose of VR/AR in porn will be to shock the camwhores in their buttholes, not to feel them doing things to you.
Bet you they keep the menu+hold loops, then allow you to speak to an AI rep after 30-45 minutes, then if you're really irritable after another couple hours they'll forward you to an Indian call center, who will just hang up after it becomes obvious they don't have any useful information.
I've become very sick of this gender politics / identity politics bullshit, she was foolish to defer to the "I'm a woman so he's not allow to question me" however that being said, firing her seems a bit excessive.
The people operate by getting people who disagree with them fired, they should always be fired on sight because they are absolutely toxic in a workplace.
The issue is it's the best general purpose language with less than 100 keywords. That means a lot of shit has nuance to keep the vocabulary lightweight and in turn is extremely easy to fuck up. It's not as bad as whitespace, but it's in the same exact category. Things don't stick around in software because they are inherently better, in fact the overwhelming majority of software written more than a decade ago is absolutely irrefutably terrible by any modern assessment (in no small part because rather than being redesigned from the ground up, backwards compatibility and patching becomes a central design element of the thing itself, c++ is no different.) It's an archaic language which has widespread compiler support and absolutely nothing else going for it. It's around because it was the best at the time and a lot of stuff was written in it, which in turn created a situation where lots of stuff is still dependent upon it. The only reason to write a new program in c++ is because the platform you're targeting doesn't support better (mostly because c++ is "good enough" none of the many better languages made it there.)
The BLM was entirely in the wrong on that one. A little history:
A bunch of ranchers were getting pissed off over common resources and some assholes were claiming land that wasn't theirs while others were getting raped on taxes for land which was theirs but was entirely unsustainable.
The group got together and tried to find a way to just share the land so they would stop shooting at each other over border disputes and going bankrupt because it couldn't support the cattle required to pay for it.
The BLM offered to "manage" the land for them tax-free as long as they just considered is a shared resource and didn't fight over it, they accepted.
Several decades later the Clinton administration pushed the BLM to start charging taxes on it, the ranchers refused to pay because it was public land nobody actually got any use out of and their agreement was in large part that they didn't have to pay taxes on it, grandfathered in by several generations.
Over a decade and a half later during the Obama administration a corrupt senator in Nevada took a bribe when a Chinese wind energy company said they wanted the land to build a windfarm.
The BLM was tasked with claiming the land and slaughtering the free-range cattle owned by the ranchers.
Ranchers got pissed, BLM concocted story about back taxes they were never actually allowed to charge, ranchers stood their ground.
Several years later, many "missing" militia members who had come to help defend the Bundy ranch and the surrounding ranchers, and the imprisonment of the Bundies was found to be illegal and they were found innocent of any wrongdoing.
But it's cool, I know you just hate rural people and wish uncle sam could jab his boot a bit further up everyone's ass.
Fair point, but I meant that they rarely issue warnings. If you're running a pirate radio entirely unintentionally (e.g. a kid with a CB radio that's been hacked and they were without a doubt ignorant of all the regulations surrounding it and their parents knew nothing about it) then you might get off with a warning, if you're really lucky. Things as innocent as a wifi antenna with too much power to it will often result in them coming to smash your shit. Anything remotely intentional or where the person should have run into anything relating to the fact regulations exist (e.g. building their own radio would qualify) and it's just straight to prison in most cases. Pretty much every other agency will give you warning if you're not killing or raping and were ignorant, but the FCC will just skip to the part where they have someone push your shit in.
Given the rate of quantum computing development we have 4-7 years (at most) before Shor's algorithm can be used to break any pre-quantum cryptographic algorithm. I outlined the reasons why post-quantum algorithms are unsuitable for use in a blockchain like Bitcoin very clearly. But go on, show the solution if you insist on pumping your fake money.
GUIDs are fundamentally retarded in concept. The HFT issue is definitely something to be solved, but timing is still critical. Realistically a synchronous oracle per symbol is the better implementation.

You restated the issue pretty well, good job.
Don't conflate market inefficiencies with anything good.
You're contrasting implementation details. If you can't afford something is the same thing as if you are forbidden from it if the result is the same.

They can't be "failed," they're a territory and have no rights.

Can work both ways? Who'd a thunk it.

This is outright wrong. The FCC are one of the few agencies you don't want to fuck with.
