I disagree that the Duke was in any way ridiculous, aside from the "lol hueg" meme that still surrounds it. I'll be buying this.

It only makes sense if you have no idea how the money distributed as UBI is to be generated by the reduced workforce. (Hint: it doesn't, therefore it can't.)

This is literally not how taxes work. Debt is the result of a spending problem, not the result of a taxation problem. The national debt skyrocketed under the tax rates you are defending. If they worked, why did the debt massively increase? Stop being wrong.

No, it did not exist as a regulation with the force of law. The concept of net neutrality is quite dissimilar from the regulation that was just removed.

This wasn't happening in 2015 before Title II extended to ISPs, it won't happen now. The Internet got more censorious, and therefore worse, after NN was enacted. Also, legally speaking, NN is something that Congress needs to pass, not something that the FCC should unilaterally regulate.

These days, that is probably a sign of doing something correct.

Net Neutrality has always been a solution in search of a problem. If anything, the Internet is more censorious and worse off than it was before NN was enacted. Get rid of it.

People didn't know there was a gap between AAA and mobile/budget? Come on. Not every game is an AAA game, and not every non-AAA game is some bargain bin piece of garbage. NieR: Automata is a fantastic example of what a non-AAA title can be.

No. You also can't get the same amount of games at the same price as the SNES Classic.

And, in general, they are correct to think this. Most fan complaints do not make sense and can be safely disregarded. In Bethesda's case, however, there's a distinct danger in watering down and simplifying series for greater mass consumption. I don't think anyone believes Fallout 4 was better...

Then you've missed out on some genuinely good monitors, like the S2417DG.

The fetishization of keyboards beginning over the last couple of years is the most bizarre trend ever.

Are you some sort of parody account? You cannot naturally be this dense.

Thanks for proving you haven't played a Nintendo game in probably 15 years.

I disagree with most of this.

Doesn't explain how the PS4 has sold 60 million units despite having a massive yawn of a game library.

It's a six year old handheld. Curb your expectations of graphical brilliance. Expect good games.

It's such a shame Mozilla handed their organization over to the SJWs. Firefox revived the browser wars.

Ahem…

The Switch is selling out like hotcakes. I believe I read that it's Nintendo's fastest selling console ever, the it-prints-money Wii included. You've also forgotten about the juggernaut install base of the 3DS. So, to quote you: your post, lol, gotta be a joke.

"Tries to"? They did win E3. Sony showed vaporware, Microsoft showed $500 hardware, Nintendo showed stuff for consoles people already own.

People who oppose UBI have a clearer understanding of it than its proponents. When UBI proponents can explain in clear economic terms where the money comes from and how this system would sustain itself with reduced economic activity caused by a large, permanently unemployed class, then we'll talk.

The education system has truly failed you, and you have failed it.

This thread reveals the failure of the education system.

We can't predict the future, true. But what we can do is stop suppressing and interfering with the people who make the future. Look at the geopolitical and economic halo effect of fracking, an activity that the same people who advocate for a UBI spent years attempting to strangle. The entire...

Polite, serious answer: If you tax someone at a rate beyond their ability to generate new revenue to replace the money paid in tax, you lose the source of tax money. Answer you deserve: try running numbers instead of randomly spouting them.

Attend some actual economics courses, maybe including a couple of accounting and finance courses, and you'll learn exactly where it comes from.

Then UBI doesn't fix anything, and it is basically the same welfare system we have now. The premise behind UBI is that automation will eliminate lower end jobs, and that the higher levels of underemployment and unemployment we have seen in the last 8 years are normal, expected, and should be...

The ignorance required to make this statement is breathtaking. People in the late 1750s said the exact same thing.

No, it's not. UBI will never be a thing. It's entirely based on false premises, such as "the rates of unemployment, underemployment, and workforce participation under Obama are normal and expected", and "the money that funds UBI will just magically appear despite the fact we are paying people to...

The Universal Basic Income is such an awful idea that it falls apart completely when you ask one simple question: where does the money come from?

The same reason why new glacier growth is occurring.

Musk is the hollow, existing-product-repackaging showman that the Internet accused Steve Jobs of being. That said, his work with SpaceX is fantastic. Zuckerberg had a great idea at the right time and has done nothing of note since. Every time he opens his mouth, he proves that even the...

Not really. We want these idiots to keep saying these stupid things.

No statistically significant warming in 18 years. That said, it is certainly within the scope of the seed vault to have a contingency plan for catastrophic climate change.

There's a trailer with the game's director describing Montana in almost alien terms. So I'm sure this won't in any way degenerate into mishandled stereotyping and clumsy backhanding of the personality type that would want to live in Montana.

Chrome won, but Firefox committed suicide and its corpse tumbled into the SJW lava pit. These days I use a mix of Safari, Chrome, Chromium, Brave, and Edge, depending on platform and need.

Future proof against what? Power consumption goes down every generation, not up.

WannaCry makes a case for Linux. Using Linux makes a case for macOS.

I stopped going to Ars when they became a thinly veiled political advocacy platform for crap. The few remaining solid technical articles are overshadowed by the vapid politics.
