Comment Problem with UBI (Score 1) 382

The problem with UBI is that it's a big new income redistribution and as such a huge political problem. To cover the costs you need to raise taxes that creates a new big transfer of income from the rich to poor. Also since UBI is such a big change in the system, it’s likely to introduce a new set of problems (e.g. scenarios which it can’t handle or where can be abused). And there is no middle ground, you have to go all in to be able to get the benefits.

Comment Re: C and C++ aren't going away (Score 1) 581

I can believe C#/java can give you enough rope to do things in really dum/trivial/slow-ways. But I find hard to believe that its not possible to get good performance out of them. Ie you could do the the low level parallelism on those also. Meaning "good C++" can be 100x faster than "bad c#" but difference to "good c#" is not that big. Right?

Comment Uber really is the next gen company (Score 1) 235

Wow, no company ever went from "price renegade challenger" to "price gouging incubent" that fast.. Uber is probably right that it's possible jack up the profits that way but inflated margins means more money on the table. And people will notice that shit. Next step would be to limit competition through lobbying..
