Sam Altman proposed a UBI in the form of a dividend from land rents and the largest companies' shares, invested in an sovereign wealth fund.

In his words, "the best way to improve capitalism is to enable everyone to benefit from it directly as an equity owner".

It's 100% official that my Xbox account had a major issue for the past 7+ years. The amount of friends/data on the account caused inputs to not register properly while also not being synced to the servers as fast as possible. We suspect this problem may have begun for everyone shortly after Halo 5 came out when the "NXOE update" launched for Xbox One around late 2015. If I remember correctly, that's when more major heavy aim was introduced in Halo 5 and it started to weigh your account down if you had a lot of friends/data. Which may explain why during the beta and the first couple weeks of Halo 5, the aiming was not nearly as bad.

It's also 100% official that this happens on PC as well. This is NOT an Xbox console exclusive issue. This has to do with how inputs/data are stored in packets that are sent to the servers. The hardware is not relevant in this situation. My inputs now never get interrupted like they have before in the past on PC. My inputs never get eaten/lost and they feel like completely different games compared to the past 7+ years of playing. It was limiting my ability heavily to be consistent and stopping me from playing the game to it's full potential.

After I stopped competing in Halo 5 in 2017 to go to full time streaming. I never really played on smurf accounts, so I never really knew anything different than what I played on. It's a bit sad that we've been competing on a platform that determines your game quality, input registration, and shot registration speed based on the amount of friends and other data on your account. There was always rumors of smurf accounts being better for whatever reason, but no one could really pin the reason why. Well, now we know for sure it is 100% the friends list, messages, and whatever other data on your account weighing the packets down to cause your game to feel unsynced and slower overall to the server.

@TheDunkCentral to be fair about "common sense", a lot of people have just not been physically active or engaged in contact athletics since they were in 5th grade. i think a lot of non athletes just do not have the direct experience of what is typical levels of physicality.

@DanSull36510584 @SRCHicks where's that hg quote from? and i had no idea montessori was influenced by george

@simonsarris @Authw8 I enoucrage you to look up Terry Bouricious and the concept of sortition. Aristotle considered elections a tool of the oligarchy, while selection by lot was considered democratic.

@cmuratori do you find arguments based on "commercial viability" compelling justification for government laws?

i have trouble understanding why there's copyright at all, in principle. empirically, i'm not sure copyright has benefitted the majority of creators.

[🔰 LandValueTaxMax 🔰 @maxalanclark]

@simonsarris early arguments for limiting suffrage was that employees and renters would be forced to vote for their boss/landlord (before secret ballot).

nonetheless, elections still result in electing a class of politically elite who will seek their own interest.

[🔰 LandValueTaxMax 🔰 @maxalanclark]

@simonsarris well, original conception of democracy was to use selection by lot. elections were considered aristocratic. the united states of america has always had a bastardized version of democracy. from the start, it was designed to use elections for a "natural aristocracy".

[🔰 LandValueTaxMax 🔰 @maxalanclark]

@ID_AA_Carmack like with lots of advice, you tend to agree when it confirms something you've been beginning to think already. i think this is subtly different than "confirmation bias". anyway, this is one of those things for me! nice to hear carmack say it.
