Nah, just remove the element and keep going.

No, magic.

Working from Mexico. Moving was hard but the payoff was worth it.

And clean please.

When I ask my peers (mid-twenties) about the concept of basic income they freak out at the concept of people not working. Unfortunately it's going to take a few more generations to understand we need to rethink the next steps of someone entering adulthood.

Nice job man, this will save me a lot of time on-boarding people.

This is awesome! Thank you!

mgrpowers | 10 years ago | on: Apple fans are coming to hate Apple software

I agree. I've had three different top of the line MBPs and they don't feel as solid as my 2007 macbook. The solid states are unreliable, the battery life never comes close to what's promised and that damn fan won't turn off. Sure, I'm a power user but isn't that why I'm paying 3500 for this?

So many bouncing buttons. Can't concentrate.

Does anyone have recommendations on good toolsets for visualization like this? I'm diving into canvas/d3/raphael but would love to look into other options if they're out there.

mgrpowers | 10 years ago | on: Basic Income Has Silicon Valley to Thank

Does anyone have any examples on what the total cost would be per person. I've mostly seen 12-18k per person but that obviously wouldn't fly in San Francisco or Boston.

I recently drove through Kansas and stopped in Quinter, population 955. The per capita income is $15,588 so around $15m for just income not including health insurance/etc. How do we go about justifying basic income for a city this size whose primary export is corn.

I'm a huge basic income fan and would like to contribute to the conversation I just don't know where to start.

I don't think I want to charge my card every night. That seems to render the added convenience invalid. Also, not a viable option for traveling.

I feel like I'm missing something. The price for flights from bay area to LA are outrageous. Generally ~$100 round trip.

Just uninstalled FB from my phone to make space for 7.1. I think I'll just keep it off.
