"With more data at hand than theoretical projection, the evidence is overwhelming: Universal #BasicIncome is working nearly universally."
"In city after city and cohort after cohort — old, young, single parents, ex-convicts — universal basic income has improved health outcomes, raised employment, and bolstered childcare opportunities (and recipients have had consistently better outcomes than control groups)."
UBI works. We know that. It will reduce other costs.

Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin
Recently, YouTube has been ramping up its anti-adblock effort, and I’ve been watching this closely due to personal interest. This blog post is where I write down what I know.

The old gatekeepers of music made it complicated. The answer is half of Skip and Flip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley_Oop_(song)
Which is the original, and which are the covers? Or are they all three covers of a single that never made it onto Billboard's charts?
On 1960-05-30, two singles titled "Alley-Oop" broke into the Billboard Hot 100: one by the Hollywood Argyles, the other by Dante and the Evergreens. They reached their peak positions, #1 and #15 respectively, in the same week as well: 1960-07-11.
A third version by the Dyna-Sores premiered the week after the first two (1960-06-06), but it peaked at #59 and lasted only three weeks.
All three versions are about the comic strip character, have virtually identical lyrics, & are in the same style.
@mavica_again There's a lot to unpack here.
@eevee I can't help but think "a code" is what programmers catch when they get sick.
