Low income workers in NYC don’t generally live in NYC at all, though. They commute in, and often via car with several other people, from places like New Jersey, and share costs like a parking spot.

A typical parking spot is $500-$800. Spread amongst 4 workers, that’s “only” $125 a month, plus the tolls, fuel etc., and then is a significantly higher quality of life (mostly due to a shorter commute time) than trying to take public transit, particularly from places poor people live. (They could obviously use high occupancy vehicle lanes which makes a big difference going from NJ->NYC.)

I used to park alongside quite a few people doing this. Everything from construction workers to people working in restaurants. Rents were much cheaper if they were willing to drive an hour.
Hey, clueless American here. I confess I have no idea how far apart things are in the UK. "Closer than in the US" is all I've got.

Internationally, capital and labour are also mobile. If the argument for UBI is basically North Korea, I’m not seeing it.

Put simply, if a UBI scheme doesn’t work at the state level, it won’t federally in the long run.

Wouldn't that be just a function of there being _a ton_ of old Teslas out there? That number will go up over time - they sold 634K cars in the US in the last year alone, about a half of the overall EV market. Expect a lot of trade ins, some of them for other brands, in 6-10 years.
16,000 homes * 4 people per home = 64,000 customers

Bad news. The same people are still mostly going to the same places. They're just using different transport modes. Probably even more in your sight.
Starting from zero saves memory.
If I have a variable used as an index for an array of 256 elements, starting from 0 allows me to store it in a single byte. If I start from 1, I need two bytes, effectively doubling the memory usage—an unnecessary 100% increase.
Now, multiply this inefficiency across every instance where programs encounter a similar situation.
> "But it's good for you!" they scream, and the word good is, in their head, something they've decided meets a goal or end result that I should be pursuing.

That's just strawmanning the argument, no? Why not argue against the strongest position?

The way minimum guaranteed income would benefit you is twofold. One way is similar to how any other tax payments that don't benefit you directly provide a safety margin - I've never had a house fire, but I pay for services that cover my fire department because I know that if I'm ever in that situation, they will help me. I'm not in poverty, but my money subsidizes poverty benefits, and if I ever get in that situation, it will help me too.

The second way is much more important - subsidizing the poor lets them get out of the hellhole of poverty and contribute far more than they otherwise would. Being poor is insanely expensive, and once you have more liabilities than assets, they tend to explode and become completely unsustainable. Poor people can't relocate (or even live anywhere) for better opportunities; they can't get education and will often remain low-wage, unprofessional workers; they can't afford healthcare (in the US) and will leave illnesses untreated until they can barely do anything at all, or die. Fixing any of these three leads to more income for businesses and more tax money for the government.

For some reason, pro-hierarchy Americans love portraying any form of welfare as letting people live in luxury for nothing. Minimum income, as it is proposed, doesn't come anywhere close to being something you can live your whole life off of. It's a safety margin that lets you get back on your feet more easily - it's money you pay debts off, money to educate yourself, money to cure yourself - not what you live off. That's why it's so infuriating to hear people double down time and time again about how America's most hated class are all just lazy, bloated slobs, because in this hypothetical world, they have the audacity to receive a couple thousand dollars in benefits.
I.e. get the less well off to bear the brunt.
It also allows low income people who live in low income areas (and thus cheaper rents) to access jobs in high income places.

If transit were the same speed or faster than carpooling, it wouldn’t be nearly as significant. In NYC it is not.

From my understanding of Southern California's HOT lane experience, people become desensitized to the price over time, so you need to raise it regularly or the congestion benefits go away and it just becomes a regular road plus an extra toll.
> there will always be some air unless you add extra filler. (and make everything run hotter)

Adding filler is how you make a passively-cooled device run cooler. Air that's not moving doesn't transport enough heat to be useful, and convection doesn't do anything in the narrow spaces between and above components on a circuit board. Thermal paste, graphite sheets, and vapor chambers are what phones these days do with volume that's not needed for circuitry or structural support.
An example from a few days ago is how Lithuania's government believes that the Russian military intelligence was behind an arson attack on an Ikea: https://www.euronews.com/2025/03/17/lithuania-says-russian-m...

There's also the "accident" that just happened to destroy a US military oil tanker. Sure enough, the captain of the ship was Russian:
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/12/captain-arr...

And it's very clear that multiple undersea cables have been intentionally cut by Russia-linked entities. You just don't drag anchors for hours over known cables by accident (the cables are on charts precisely to help captains avoid damaging them).

We're at war with Russia, and these kinds of attacks have both economic and psychological harms. They also allow Russia to practice techniques in case they need to ramp things up for a hotter conflict.
The issue with cars isn't that they're not convenient in isolation, but that they cause issues at scale more than other modes of transport, especially when they're the default option for journeys. An efficiently run metro line can shift tens of thousands of people per hour in each direction, but you'd need a multi-lane highway running at maximum throughput to even get close.
> I'm very confused how that has to do with anything?

Presumably people in the country are more easily able to grow vegetables. If they aren't doing it, then it implies that growing vegetables isn't worth the time.

I think there are other confounding factors like income and education.

Public transit is difficult to use for eg tradespeople who bring a lot of tools on to the job and work at differing locations. Some such workers are not wealthy at all and are also carpooling to make it affordable to get into the city.

(Yes, I know you could haul all your stuff on public transit; I’m simply observing that many workers choose not to and they probably have a good reason. Those of us whose tools are limited to a MacBook Air in a designer bag should hesitate to dictate how other people live.)
I understand that, it’s a lot of work and resources are needed. The most important aspect in this regard is features over UX. But for a casual user, not finding UI elements we’re used to makes it harder to want to learn it for a few use cases. So maybe I’m not the target (power user in ebook domain).
But dismissing any UI change as useless … maybe it’s far fetched.

As a kid, I hated commuting 10+ miles to school everyday, and driving everywhere to get or do anything. Even when I got a car, it was a huge drag.

Once I got to college, I was so happy to move to a tiny basement party near university so I could live a better life. When I lived in Beijing, everything was accessible by subway, but we also had a mall a couple of blocks away that had a grocery store in the basement. I chose this lifestyle for my kid, we walk to school in the morning, he's in 2nd grade of a K-8 but the highschool he will go to is about the same distance. He is now the opposite of me, wanting to drive places instead of walk...ugh.
with all due respect: i admire your confidence, but this is a at best a purposefully uninformed and at worst a child's understanding of what congestion pricing, tolls, and taxes are. i invite you to actually read about what congestion pricing is, how it has been enacted, and how the tolling actually works.

Perhaps, but the distribution of said funds has always been rought with fraud. I suppose you do have a point but if it were that easy, why is it not done? I am simply proposing another way, and honestly its a pretty said day where proposing and idea on a forum is met with such vitriol. I'm also working on https://crohns.ai/ and have had some really good feedback, should this also just be done by handing out money? The approach I am hearing from everyone here is that the world should just STFU and allow Trump and Musk to handle it because they are the big boys so everyone else should shut up. While agree that you all have the right to feel that way, it's simply not a reality the rest of us have to blindly accept. Also pretty said that simply "Trying" has become so uncool on a site like HN.

Satisfaction and drive to work. This actually happens all the time with ubi tests - people work more, not less. Turns out we're wired to try doing useful stuff on average.

And you benefit either way - lifting whole community and reducing homelessness and risky behaviour is good for everyone around, not just that one person. The burden of social issues has always been and will always be on the working people. Ubi doesn't change that part.

"C"? It's more likely to be "G" round here.

By the way, has anyone else had this problem: you're on floor 10, say, and you want to get to floor 15, say, so you run up 5 flights of stairs and try to find the room but then after a while you realise that somehow you've ended up on floor 16 so you think you're going demented and can't count but after this has happened a few times you realise ... THE IDIOTS HAVE OMITTED FLOOR 13!

If there's one thing worse than 1-based indexing it's leaving-out-13-based indexing ... Has any programming language tried doing that with arrays, I wonder?
This isn't meant to be snarky, but wouldn't UBI/GDI achieve just that?
It's a lot more than a hunch, it's standard economic principles. The standard sources of inflation are money supply increases and supply crunches. The OP specified a UBI that doesn't increase the money supply. Nor would UBI cause a supply crunch. So why would you expect inflation?

Yeah, the issue is that those frameworks add their own paradigms and abstractions, almost to the point where you don't need to worry / know about the underlying core web standards.

However, this is also a missed opportunity, in that those standards haven't stood still. That is, a lot of web developers are stuck in 2015 and still use Angular / React, Bootstrap or some other framework, LESS/SCSS. Meanwhile in CSS there's things like oklch colours, advanced variables and selectors, layers, etc - I only learned about them recently while working with another developer who has in fact kept up with them.

That is, I'd argue that companies, designers, etc are being kept behind by sticking to these frameworks, because they can only design for and build in what those frameworks support, instead of what is now possible.

Likewise, React Native or other crossplatform app building toolkits, instead of truly understanding the underlying operating system and tools. For a lot of these same companies, things like widgets, live activities, watch apps etc are infeasible because their frameworks don't support them (or in the case of widgets, the frameworks take up all the memory budget). But I believe that if you want a great app experience for your end users, you gotta have dedicated app developers and -designers.
> Most militarily-significant targets are themselves non-military.

Indeed. Large scale war is extremely expensive. Russia's government is spending about 40% of total tax revenue on invading Ukraine. So anything it can do to harm the economies of the people fighting it helps. Equally, this is why Ukraine has been putting so much effort into blowing up oil and gas infrastructure in Russia, their #1 source of tax revenue.
And of course Lojban was a fork of Loglan, and has (AFIAK) overtaken it.

If for none other, the reason UBI or another solution to our economic deprivations are needed is that rising inequality is reducing the size of our markets. An affluent middle class participates while increasingly impoverished people are less able to as they become more poor.

They are free for poor people. For instance, basic education must be free, so we can have a productive work-force that can read and write and pay taxes in the future, which will make us even richer.

There is also a certain kind of long-term thinking prevalent in older universities. Many American elite universities are older than the US, and it's plausible that some of them will outlast the US.

High inflation drives inequality. (Moderate depends on the savings rate.) We have zero evidence inequality drives inflation.
That and the fact that EV resale prices are low. I'm not sure the "used cars is how you make the real money" rule applies to EVs when they have notoriously bad resale values compared to ICE cars.
Thanks! That's about US$0.20-US$0.40 per watt, which is probably cheap enough to compete with overprovisioning solar panels. What's the usual duty cycle for such a heat pump? Can you buy smaller ones? 12kW seems like it could provide 8000 liters of hot water per day, which seems like a lot even for a mansion. Maybe a public bathhouse.

It is certainly true that energy-intensive buildings cannot be self-sufficient on solar, but perhaps you can put the solar panels near your house instead of on it.

>small amount of my taxes.

As it currently stands ~40% of the profits from my labor is taken by my federal and state government and they are both running at a deficit. That's before accounting for state sales, property, and utilities taxes. It doesn't seem like a small amount currently, and the government's books are not even balanced at current entitlement levels. I have a really tough time coming to the conclusion that the governments would get better with more liabilities, especially when the largest UBI study showed less workforce participation, not more.

You are also conflating my position with that of one who thinks the current corporate protections are a good thing.

If the weapon has Pk ratio just 0.01 and you launch 300 of them, the probability that at least one gets trough is 0.95.
