UBI funded through LVT is not inflationary.

Keep in mind that this allows, and protects, the academic channel to do their own thing. Right now they are pulled by those that don't care about academia because they want a job a…

This aligns the incentives. Education provides positive externalities that the market will not provide. > allow companies to direct the research towards their ends So long as they …

It's probably cleaner to directly couple those that want it, so that those that want to decouple can be left to the academic path. It's pretty normal to hear from people that when …

You're not trying to get individuals to complete work that requires thousands of participants. You're trying to get it so that those one level below currently working on such proje…

Governments can always offer prizes, and any model that sufficiently meets the criteria of the prize would win it and claim a large cash prize. Once claimed, the model would then b…

Yes, businesses have the same flaw with a bit of better incentives. With a prize based approach, what you want is for researchers to make small targetted gambles early in their car…

Prizes pay for working results. Grants pay for possibilities. Grants are therefore riskier, and thus we allocate less resources to them. Since the people with the money don't under…

This is where prizes come in. If you create a drug and keep it secret, the government can grant you a large prize as an offer to reveal your secret. This is a much better compromis…

A selfish player will claim that they will coordinate with the group, and then vote red in private. A coordinating player will pick what the group chooses, whether that be red or b…

You don't even have to go that far from the original question. If instead of the entire world being a single game, if you have hundreds of millions of sub-games where 9 random peop…

Your concern can easily be addressed by having a 100% tax on the value of land and then distributing this tax money through a citizen's dividend. But this isn't all that related to…

Landlords should be pushing for an LVT so that in a downturn that can sync up all at once it is the local government that needs to take that hit. It makes no sense that they curren…

The disconnect here is that they built it this way, but still call it a question and answer site and give a lot of power over to the person who created the question. They get to ma…

Riolu is a uniquely terrible example. While he used Cheat Engine to slow down gameplay, he could have just as easily used TAS to record and replay his inputs since TrackMania is de…

The problem here appears to be the banning. If the cheaters are never banned then they will continue to only play with other cheaters, and everyone is happy. And in fact, to a norm…

This argument is that the match-making software is incompetent. If what you say is true, and the match-maker could determine skill with any ability, then the cheaters would quickly…

Yeah, this is pretty clear. The community for any competitive game if you are a member of the top 100 players is always amazing. These players play the most, they end of seeing eac…

This is why the best form of UBI is a Citizen's Dividend funded through a Land Value Tax. Any increase in rents through the CD just make their way back into higher taxes that then …

Sure, but this has nothing to do with the land values which are still extremely positive. It has everything to do with Prop 13 allowing speculation. Repeal Prop 13 and all of those…

If one of these fast food places shuts down, it's not like the lot is just going to sit vacant forever. The primary effect of these types of laws is that businesses that employ fas…

The abstract states that there are 2.7% less fast food jobs, not 2.7% less jobs. There might be 2.7% less fast food restaurants as a result of this change, but in their place will …

It's impossible to know with the data we collect. Census tracks the homeownership rate, which tracks if the house is owned by someone living in it. However if you are a tenant livi…

Mostly agreeing with you here but I've been through this journey and this shocked me when I ran the numbers one time so I'm sharing. A better way to be thinking about this is at wh…
