@davidpattersonx UBI or UHI should only go to people who are raising or have raised own or adopted children. All childless who thereby actively support population collapse and overprioritise hedonism should be excluded and also no longer receive pensions.
English
Universal basic income (UBI) is a terrible idea and will never work.
Why would you give additional income to retired Americans, who hold more than half of the accumulated wealth, when there are still people who are homeless, and the budget deficit is 1.8 trillion dollars?
If the government had the money, which it doesn’t, it should first be spent fixing conditional welfare before any universal income is given to anyone.
After AI has created superabundance, we can implement universal high income (UHI) for people who become permanently unemployed.
Later, it can be expanded to everyone.
Not now. Not UBI.
English
@davidpattersonx UBI can replace the conditional welfare programs and be far more economically efficient. If you make it universal, then the stigma of receiving it is taken away because everyone gets it. Billions aren't wasted on qualification tests and paperwork.

I went from a 100% full quota to a 6-day ban in 1 prompt. And it was just asking it for an opinion, not even writing code. What the hell @antigravity ?

@adam_dorr @davidasinclair @bryan_johnson It also gives you brain damage. nutritionfacts.org/topics/cannabi…

Cannabidiol (CBD) does amazing things. According to a new study it:
* Increases SIRT1 & autophagy ✅
* Decreases mTOR ✅
* Upregulates SOX2 & OCT4 ✅
* Preserves telomeres ✅
* Reduces inflammatory NF-kB ✅
* Slows stem cell aging ✅

@MatthewRideout @alex_avoigt Not true. A fossil fuel economy requires 535x more mining. Vastly worse for the environment. Batteries can be recycled. distilled.earth/p/a-fossil-fue…

A first: Batteries have become so cheap that around-the-clock solar is becoming economically viable.
In 2024 alone, average battery prices fell by 40% and signs are a similar fall is occurring in 2025.
Pairing solar with enough batteries to keep the electricity flowing though the night is no longer a distant dream – it's an economic reality. At around just $76/MWh all in, dispatchable solar is already competitive with other forms of firm generation in many markets. ember-energy.org/latest-updates…

We started internal
testing some big updates to the @GoogleAIStudio experience today!
Coming to you early next year but reply below if you’d like early access in the coming weeks 👀
English
@DaveShapi Or build solar with batteries 10 times faster and at 1/5th the cost.

@traderwillhu @pharmaJMO Nice. Did you vibe code it? Where did you get the data from?
English
This is my dashboard. It’s written in Python, and it makes it very easy to turn a traditional RS STS into a volatility-adjusted RS. It can also pull up the exact snapshot from any day in the past, which is super useful for study and practice. The screenshot shows the conditions as of April 22.

I've spend most of my time in this pullback developing my @jfsrev RS Table inspired app. Have not gotten the RS% to align fully with excel yet, getting there though. The goal is to have everything process related in one place.

This will mark my 8th year of Black Friday using Tradingview. Here are 8 FREE public scripts I highly recommend exploring to refine your workflow, templates, or layouts. They’re listed alphabetically by script name: 1. **ADR% - Average Daily Range %** - By @zerokapital tradingview.com/v/ss2QgCWi/ Use this to study the historical ADR% of securities and analyze how momentum stocks develop and build their volatility patterns. 2. **ATR% Multiple from 50-MA** - Credits to @DumbleDax tradingview.com/v/oimVgV7e/ My favorite tool for profit-taking or extension signals in setups. It’s also helpful for index analysis to gauge when to scale back on risk exposure. 3. **EPS & Sales** - By @DumbleDax tradingview.com/v/WiaFmLGR/ Arguably the best EPS & Sales script available. It integrates earnings, sales, beats, and guidance into your charts via table format or below price template, as seen in my trading ideas and stock update. 4. **Financials on Chart** - By @tradingview tradingview.com/v/Lbxl9OqZ/ A fantastic on-chart display of up to 9 fundamentals (Qtr/Yr) of your choice from over 100 options, including PEG, Earnings Yield, Price to Free Cash Flow Ratio, and ROIC%. This is great for your long-term investment overview without referencing to another 3rd party website for fundamental data. 5. **Industry Group Strength** - By @amphtrading tradingview.com/v/5NsvcOVp/ This indicator helps you pinpoint the best-performing stocks within specific industry groups. My default template lists the top 5 RS stocks from the same industry as the stock I’m analyzing. @amphtrading also offers 41+ free scripts, making him one of the most generous contributors to our TradingView community. 6. **Range Tightening Indicator** - By @Ollie_AllCaps tradingview.com/script/yaIeno7… A price-tightening indicator using a lookback period. It’s also useful for identifying the "rate of change" of potential bottoms or tops, as highlighted by Stanley Druckenmiller in his podcast with Nicolai Tangen. 7. **Simple Volume with Pocket Pivots** - By @finallynitin tradingview.com/v/JkB0iCFp/ The most versatile volume script, in my opinion, offering extensive customization for color coding, dollar volume, RVOL, and more. 8. **Swing Data** - Credits to @DumbleDax tradingview.com/v/uloAa2EI/ This table consolidates essential data for swing traders in a simple format, providing everything you need to improve trading execution & efficiency. If you found this post helpful and valuable, consider retweeting🔁to spread the words to support their efforts and encourage future updates and enhancements. I hope these scripts will prove beneficial on your trading journey.

@jfsrev Jeff, new TV feature! Can now share screeners. :)

@brianrc @ScottAppliedSci I agree with the last bit. I wouldn't be vegan if I wasn't in agreement. My comments are just "tongue-in-cheek". We don't need anything, we merely have to suffer the consequences of not having it.
Perhaps my pessimistic view on life in general would be a convenient explanation.
English
People saying counting calories is impractical because "no one can do a diet where you need a calculator in your pocket every day" deliberately forget something obvious. Most eat the same 20-30 meals/foods over and over.
Once you have 5 X 500 kcal breakfasts, 5 X 500 kcal lunches and 10 X 800 kcal dinners in your repertoire, you don't need the calculator again.
But they say this on repeat to push their silly diet story, spin some ancestral diet fantasy and get you to "jump on a discovery call" for their "services".
Diet grifters need you to believe simple things won't work.
English
@Thamno @ScottAppliedSci I really don't know what you're getting at. All nutrients come from the sun and the soil. Vitamin D is created when skin is exposed to sunlight. Calcium in cow's milk comes from the plants she ate, which drew it up from the soil. We are fully capable of eating only plants.
English
@brianrc @ScottAppliedSci OK. So you agree on this one. Well then, does this mean that all life only consists of carbon?
If you know the answer to this, you will know why a plant-based diet is not a plant-only diet.
English
@Thamno @ScottAppliedSci All life is carbon based. What does that have to do with diet?
English
@brianrc @ScottAppliedSci Just to make it very clear: humans are carbon-BASED creatures. That does NOT mean that they are carbon-ONLY creatures.
English
@Thamno @ScottAppliedSci Lay persons may get confused, but in the scientific literature, the terms are defined in each study. Yes, unhealthy vegan exists. Oreos are vegan. All vegan doctors I know recommend a whole food plant-based diet, emphasizing whole foods, minimal processing.
English
@brianrc @ScottAppliedSci As I said, SOME people are not making the distinction between -BASED and -ONLY. That is a vocabulary game and I don't engage in that.
It is very possible to eat very unhealthful plant-BASED diets as well as plant-ONLY diets or animal-product-free diets.
English
@Thamno @ScottAppliedSci In the literature, when they put people on whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet, they're talking about a diet with no animal foods. WFPB is a diet, vegan is an ethical stance. Doctors want to hear what people eat, rather than what they don't.
nature.com/articles/nutd2…
English
@brianrc @ScottAppliedSci Ha, there is your mistake: plant-based is NOT vegan. Plant-BASED means "mainly plants" and not "only plants". Plant-BASED IS better for health. That is what the literature shows, but it is not vegan. The fact that some people don't know what BASED means, does not invalidate it.
English
@Thamno @ScottAppliedSci I originally went vegan for health. No literature? There are literally thousands of studies that show plant-based eating is better for health and longevity. More coming out every day. Just pick a topic. See nutritionfacts.org for easy videos and books.
English
@brianrc @ScottAppliedSci I have never understood the "vegan for health" claims. There is no literature that I am aware of that vegan is best for health. Evidence seems to show it is slightly worse than a good omnivorous diet. However, the evidence is so slight that I don't care about it.
English
@ScottAppliedSci We have data on why vegans quit and health isn't a reason given in 70% of cases. Though, 58% of former vegans actually went vegan for health.

No, I'm the nutritionist, and I did it by the book. :o) And I actually know a hell of a lot of ex-vegan dieters who stopped for similar reasons. My view is that humans don't need meat or plants in the short term but would do better on a mix of both in the longterm.
I used to believe that humans don't need to eat meat, but my experience (honestly, by the book) made me think twice.
English
@ScottAppliedSci So then you weren't deficient, and bloodwork would have confirmed this. It was something else. Always better to get Iron, Zinc, Iodine, Calcium from whole foods. Supplements are unregulated and some cause harm.
English
@brianrc No whacky diet at all. I supplemented B12 (methyl- and hydroxy-cobalamin), algae DHA, iron, zinc, iodine and calcium. Except the B12, these were physiologically appropriate doses just to ensure no deficiencies.
English
@ScottAppliedSci What exactly were you eating at the time? Some wacky raw diet? Did you supplement B12 at the time? Did you talk to a plant-based doc/nutritionist and get bloodwork done? Deficiencies are not normal but can easily be addressed. Humans do not need meat.

Great to hear. I ended up with actual deficiencies and pretty horrible symptoms to show for it. The final straw was oral parasthesia around my lips and gums. The thought I was developing MS. Added to that crippling headaches, muscle wasting, SIBO, pre diabetes (despite weight loss), extreme fatigue, bradycardia, orthostatic hypotension, and mental confusion. Oh, and a fine tremor.
English
@ScottAppliedSci I've been about 8 years. No problem. Only supplement B12. Wish I'd converted sooner. I just follow the science. Nothing in meat and dairy we can't get from plants.
English
I’d do that but for my bad experience with it before. From 2016-20 I was a super-committed WFPB dieter, supplements dialled in, lots of exercise (16mile round trip on my bike to work), al oat all home cooked food with less than 10% processed food at meals. It was a GREAT first 6mo. Then an okay next 18mo. Then 2 years of decline before I had to quit.
Now I do the same kind of diet style but with some meat and dairy added and it’s been great > 2 years.
