Very obviously so. Thanks. Some people here have working intelligence, but many others use their intelligence only to support their preconceptions, but never to check them.
You assume the billionaire having more time for other work provides value. Classical beginner's mistake, only thinking one step and then cutting the train of reasoning off with an unproven, and here very likely invalid, assumption.
All indications we have indicates that said billionaire has negative value when he spends time working on what made him a billionaire.
Also, what makes you think the maid or the gardener are at the low-end?
It is not a problem. If the work these people can do were valuable, they would be earning much more. The mistake here is to think that people not working are significantly more expensive to society than people working. For the low-end that is not true. (At the high-end, it very often is not true either: The amount of wealth destroyed by the typical CEO is staggering.)
Your math sucks badly. If your model were correct, somebody with nothing getting an UBI would still have nothing. That is not true. Sure, those $1000 will buy less, but they will still buy more than nothing. And UBI does serve to assure everybody has a minimum amount of money available and that is it. It cuts bureaucracy and people falling though the cracks. It allows people to experiment doing different jobs or getting more or different education. And yes, it allows people whose work has little to no value to stop working. It does not serve to make people richer on average.

A very small fail in some rather stupid projects...
Just for those that do not know: Linux uses the OpenBSD ssh and hence is unaffected.
Well, hopefully this niche-implementation is now dead...
Indeed.
Well, if your IT guy needs 100-200 man hours to set up a simple mail server, then you have another problem...
Get a vserver with a static IP. They usually come with the reverse DNS entry. Starts at $10 or so for a Linux VM.
I have this on a $10 vserver and a secondary MTA on another one, including DNS and webserver.
Hahahaha, nice!
That is some impostor that has bought the name.
You nicely describe the problem and why you are part of it. If there are too many like you, the whole species fails.
And that is the actual problem: Greed and no sense of responsibility to the rest of the species.
Nice quote!

No. I mean climate scientists. Quite obviously. But morons like you will lie to themselves right up until the mess you made kills you.

2. What makes "1 in 4,000" easier to digest than "0.025%"?
Probably people being under the illusion they have an accurate image how many 4000 people are (for example). They do not.
Percent is and its cousins are fine, but "natural frequency" is anything but "natural" to me. I have to convert it to make sense of it.
Also "jury friendly"? Does "success" here mean to get a conviction?
I feel this strategy has backfired, with many claiming that they're alarmist anyway, and most just ignoring them. But they were trying to be cautious.
Sadly, this may just be what ends up killing civilization. Not their fault, this type of threat is unique in human history.
No. It was scary 20 years ago. For those that listened. By now they are desperate as they see what is coming.

So, infrastructure is theft too? Or maybe thins are not so "plain" and "simple"?
I did notice that too...
It is also a metal that corrodes into a fine powder with Oxygen and humidity.
Actually not an unsolvable problem, but adds a massive amount of weight for armor. And you would probably have to do it 1kg at a time or so.
You forgot several 1000 tons of armor shielding to make sure it does not make the US uninhabitable if a rocket blows up on launch.
