> people in Austin have been complaining about change in the city since at least 1884

It's not like the rich screwing over the poor is a new thing

They're probably hoping you'll just have to do that once in your lifetime, then as they aquire or embrace, extend and extinguish all competitors you're forever logged in to everything you'll ever need to be.

I always loved using VLC, but I watch a lot of tv shows and as far as I know there's never been a good way to remember playlist position (except from some plugin I never got to work). Has this ever been a feature you have considered adding?

That's why I included assets in the proposition, and not just the money. He would still have the ability to earn about twice as much as others given he also will be given the same amount of assets as the rest of the people.

edit: Which kinda makes it a bad comparison to UBI I guess. Maybe what we need is more than just money for UBI, but also a distribution of assets.

> If you give everyone a fixed amount of money, won't the cost of things just rise accordingly?

And what if it did? What if we gave every person the money and assets equivalent of the richest man on earth, 113 billion dollars [1]. Now Bezos would only be about twice as rich as the average person. Instead of being 1.13 million times as rich as the average household in the US [0]. Surely the prices would skyrocket, but now we're at a more even playing field.

In before someone comments: "But chances are you are not the person who needs something as complicated as TS therefore it's useless." and "If your code is more than a thousand lines then you're doing it wrong, all code should be <1000 lines that you throw out immediately and replace with new code".

Now imagine doing that same thing for every system you're programming on. And then imagine having to do it for a million different symbols. I'm sure as hell glad you're not in charge of any of this.

I'm not sure how it is on Mac, but on Windows if you've ever used an app that can block network connections, and limit other applications. What is to stop any other app on your computer doing the exact same thing. As far as I've understood any app has access to any other app and the whole environment is just a warzone of apps where you have to trust every app completely to be okay with running it.

I can't seem to play it, only buttons available are "Login" and "Register".

It's 99% actual 12 year old who somehow managed to set up a robinhood account. Not even joking, if you read some of the comments in the threads you can just tell.
