So limited, non-universal UBI increases entrepreneurship for women and black people, but *white men specifically* need universality to encourage entrepreneurship?

cool

Iirc the sam altman study did not improve education for american *men*, and did not improve entrepreneurship for non-black american men. And this is surprising because it’s the reverse of what we see with studies in developing countries, or for minorities inside developed countries.

Has anyone put together a comprehensive list of all the things that american men are statistically failing at right now? Like there's the loneliness epidemic, the undereducation thing, the employment gap, the incel problem, even UBI doesn't really improve education or entrepreneurship.....

anyway i was about to write something like, “you cannot live in a free society and also forbid people from living where they would like to live” but it occurs to me that many, many americans do not want to live in a free society

Petit bourgeoisism masquerading as leftism is so obnoxious and pervasive.

Once you’re old enough to circumvent this, you’re also old enough to not be babied online. yay!

Age verification bs is getting common and dumb enough that it should probably just be a browser standard.

Just require them to send an obligatory X-Is-Underage header in every GET request.

We present a simplified, p5.js version of the vocal tract synthesizer from Neil Thapen's popular Pink Trombone, adapted for use in a creative coding assignment concerned with interaction design and absurd puppeteering.

I guess it's technically an impeachable offense, but the legislative branch has no self-respect and so he gets away with it?

Here's what a Sam Altman-backed basic income experiment found The results of one of the largest and most comprehensive experiments in basic income are now out.

Duolingo’s usefulness in free tier is entirely dependent on which side of the A/B test you fall in. The battery system they’re rolling out caps your daily progress unless you pay up.

Other than that, it’s pretty good for starting! You just have to aggressively skip levels whenever theyre too easy

The Politics of Humiliation The politics of humiliation has moved to the center of the reactionary project under Trump II.

"Political philosophy often starts by imagining people at their very best—at their most rational, most cooperative, most long-sighted—and works backwards from there. I want to ask what emerges when we start with people at our very worst." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-politi/

Apparently 36% of Japanese voters believe that "immigrants are taking our jobs" bro what immigrants does Japan even have?? ATP a solid like 40% of voters *in every country* are just driven by completely imaginary grievances
