For things which have some combination of luck and skill, there tends to be a baseline skill for, average results given no/low skill. So in a thousand person event, you'll have some number of people performing at baseline and a smaller collection that have actually shown up with some skill. Depending on how high the skill floor is and how much variance there is, this often means people performing at baseline don't have any real chance of winning.

But! The variance still matters a lot for the skillful players: their chance of winning is 1/10 instead of 1/1000, and for the baseline folks the chance of winning is basically zero.

Yes. ‘Safe withdrawal rate’ is the annual fraction of an investment which one can sell while maintaining the principal’s value, adjusted for inflation. That might sound very complex, so here’s an attempt to explain it simply.

If one has $24,000 and spend $600/month, then after 40 months there will be nothing at all left. On the other hand, if one invested that $24,000 in Treasury bonds one would have something like $26,229. So (ignoring inflation) one could spend ($24,000 - $26,229)/40 = $55.72 each month, and still have $24,000. Why would one want to do that? Because one could keep going, investing the money, collecting the interest and paying one’s expenses: that $24,000 can last forever, paying $55.72 a month.

Now, in real life one can’t ignore inflation, and that $24,000 will be worth less than $22,000 in 40 months. In real life inflation tends to outpace the risk-free rate of return one can get lending money to the U.S. Treasury. So one needs to get more return by taking one more risk, for example by investing in the stock market as a whole. But that exposes one to economic downturns.

To make a long story short (too late!) folks have run the numbers and figured that one can conservatively invest one’s money in some broad indices, withdraw about 3–4% a year and maintain the post-inflation value of one’s capital. More than that, and one runs out of capital; less than that, and the capital continues to increase, but you have less money to spend today.

If Jellyfin wants to be able to pay their $600 (in 2024 dollars) hosting bill forever, they need to invest $240,000 today. And then they’ll never need to ask for money again (assuming all sorts of things, like no decade-long recession, no world war, an asteroid doesn’t crash into the Earth and so forth). For the same reason, an American making the average wage of $63,795 needs a $2.2 million nest egg to never work again.
Microsoft has PowerShell and DSC as their automation solution. Its pretty ridiculous to say that they are not providing that.
Escrow in general refers to a third party acting as an intermediary trusted by both parties. This works for source code, but also for money, goods, or anything else. Say if I want to buy a large diamond from you, you hand it over to the trusted escrow service, I give them a big pile of money. Once they have the money, they give me the diamond, and then give you the money.

Only in the case of source code, I give them the code, and they won't give it to you until I go out of business. They get paid for that, of course. In our case, we uploaded source code an escrow service's servers.

Who decides what is "boring"? Plenty of people have stuck with React for nearly a decade and components just as old continue to work in the latest version of React. Meanwhile, Vue 3 is such a breaking change from Vue 2 that people either abandon Vue altogether or chase bugs with the 2-to-3 bridge. Does that make React "boring and mature" compared to Vue 3? If not, why not?
This stupid adage by Marx has to die. It never works.

For one, some people have extraordinary abilities, and will be pissed off if, in exchange for their extraordinary contributions, they only got the income "according to their needs", as defined by government. This basically takes away all the motivation to excel at something.

Also, the masses would be discontent because their perceived "needs" are much bigger that their actual ability to produce anything. This is partially remedied by capitalism, where the "greedy capitalist" basically forces them to work harder than they would out of their own free will.
That's super fair and I think you are absolutely right that it's an obvious question. Generally when people get more money for some reason the people who they buy from don't know it - but in this case they would know it! It would be foolish to ignore it.

I don't have a pat answer to your concerns, but I also want you to think about what stops your landlord from raising your rent by $1000 / month right now. Like, why not just go for it? Unless there's rent control it's allowed. The classic "efficient markets" answer is that providing housing does have underlying costs and, though people having more money does tend to lead prices to go up, sellers are still competing for buyers. At least historically, even in boom economic times, housing costs did not 100% stay even with rising incomes (which is just what this is).

That said, us housing has been getting worse for most people for a long time. House costs have outpaced inflation for 60 years[1]. Rents are even worse[2]. Reporting suggests this is now being made worse by highly concentrated rental conglomerates[3]. That is to say that the cost of these services is not tied to how much money people have to pay for them - your scenario where landlords just raise prices to new income levels is actually optimistic. There's also practical evidence that local factors and competition will lead prices to go down under "the right" local conditions[4].

So I think my answer is that your concern is based on an idealized economic model, but the actual trends US in housing haven't really been following the economic ideal for some time. I don't think all gains from UBI would be snapped up by raising prices, but like all inflation we'd lose some! Overall, to me, the weakness here is that the study doesn't show that many benefits for a ~40% (!!) increase in income. Which seems WILD. Just not what you would expect at all.

If you mean the following, it actually doesn't:

(function () {
var x = 0;
const foo1 = function(a, b) { var x = 2; }
const foo2 = (a, b) => { var x = 3; }
foo1(); console.log(x); // prints 0
foo2(); console.log(x); // prints 0
})()

However, there is the difference in how the implicit semicolons are inserted:

const foo1 = function(a, b) { return a + b; }
(2, 3)
console.log(foo1) // prints 5

const foo2 = (a, b) => { return a + b; }
(2, 3)
console.log(foo2) // prints [Function: foo2]

Agreed. But try as I might, I can't find any way theoretically or empirically to model copyrights and patents that show a positive impact on innovation.

Nature's survival of the fittest already provides near infinite incentive to innovate.

Now, I think patents and copyrights had a positive side-effect effect in the early days of the United States because it created a centralized library in the District of Columbia containing all of the latest information across the fledgling nation. But with the Internet, we don't even need that anymore. All the other parts of those laws are harmful and a drain on innovation.

Look at what happened with Windows/Crowdstrike-ultimately another harm caused by closed source, under-evolved "IP protected" ideas. Ironically Microsoft calls Windows their "Intellectual Property" when collecting money, but when that IP harms people, suddenly it's not their property.

Daycare is ~$500/week per kid for us.

$26,000 per year per kid.

Rates vary wildly across the country. I have friends in the Bay that are paying about the same as us. I have friends in Oregon that are at ~$300/wk. I have friends in Nashville that are at ~$1000/wk. It's a super local thing.

Look, anytime you have a waiting list for something, capitalism has broken. You raise prices until you don't have a waiting list. That's 'Business for 5th Graders' level stuff. But you just cannot do that with daycare.

Our state does a good job with subsidies for the very poor (we have some at out daycare), but it is still really really expensive.

We cannot wait until they get to state subsidized preschool, holy cow man.

Also, Pro-tip: If you are even thinking of getting pregnant, go get on all the local daycare lists you can. Wait times can be >18 months for a lot of places.

This doesn't really make entropy itself observer dependent. (Shannon) entropy is a property of a distribution. It's just that when you're measuring different observers' beliefs, you're looking at different distributions (which can have different entropies the same way they can have different means, variances, etc).

> Also UBI is funded by taxes

Some of those taxes are already being paid. We have a lot of social programs that, for what could politely be called "political reasons", include extensive administration whose primary function is gatekeeping and means testing. Often, the administration of those programs costs substantially more than any money "saved", leaving aside that it also has a very high false positive rate, excluding people who actually should have received it. But there is a political faction that would rather see government burn a billion dollars just to make sure a tiny fraction of that isn't paid to someone who didn't "deserve" it. To quote https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/optimal-amount-of-fra... , "the policy choices available to them impact the user experience of fraudsters and legitimate users alike. They want to choose policies which balance the tradeoff of lowering fraud against the ease for legitimate users to transact."

Eliminating entire programs and the massive administrative overhead of those programs, and replacing them with something that merits the label "universal", is much more efficient.

Also:

> on a nationwide scale it means everyone got x% more money and the market would adjust itself accordingly by raising prices?

This is assuming the injected money has zero multiplicative effect on the economy, which is very unlikely to be the case. By way of example, since we're on a site created by a startup accelerator: Many, many people have said that UBI would be a massive boon to the startup ecosystem, by making it possible for many more people to safely try to build a startup without as much personal risk.

Analyses vary, but some analyses have suggested that UBI may be a net benefit to the economy. At the very least, economic boosts provided by UBI substantially offset its cost. That's in addition to the offset mentioned above of replacing existing less-efficient programs with UBI.

> improved an ACA, a cap on healthcare costs for all if you will and free yearly health checkups.

We should do this as well, because healthcare is one of the few things that isn't addressed by UBI (since ultimately it's an insurance mechanism).
