Trying to use your smallest finger to get all of the programming-relevant punctuation isn't going to make you happy as a programmer. I tend to just shift my hand over and alternate my ring and pinky fingers for the -=[]\;'./ keys.
There are a lot of cities that seem superficially cheaper based on housing prices, but are more expensive including transportation costs, i.e. two cars per household.
I doubt any serious economist could corral up enough spare tike to waste on a rebuttal of this idea. Not every idea rises to the level of serious discourse. The Yang UBI amount was much smaller than the amount paid by social welfare programs to the people who receive them. That's just arithmetic.
You're right about the housing. If we have government policy that restrains supply (as we clearly do) and at the same time a government policy that stimulates demand (UBI) rents are guaranteed to increase. That doesn't mean UBI is bad, it means the government needs to adopt a radical supply program for housing. Every landlord in America should be put out of business.
I imagine he's talking about the response to the Yang campaign, where liberals quite rightly derided his plan to replace all "entitlement" programs with the dramatically smaller $1000/mo UBI. If someone who has been a life-long libertarian looks like he's trying to drive a wedge into social welfare programs, that's probably what is happening.
You don’t need leaks, you just need to read the marketing materials of these firms. They sell your data. They are ten times worse than what Google does in the worst fever dreams of the most tiresome DDG/Brave user on HN.
