I think that ignores, in a holistic sense, the effect of increased consumer spending, health benefits/better health outcomes, tax revenue etc.

If people are buying more because of wage increases, what is the macroeconomic effect? If people have better health care and take less sick days, what is the effect? If the government has more revenue to spend on programs to benefit people like public transit, job training, drug treatment, what is the effect?

Also worth it to a look at this paper, that shows that there aren't less jobs when you raise minimum wage.

https://www.sole-jole.org/17722.pdf

Also CEO income (an exec compensation in general) has risen dramatically over the past 20 years while regular wage growth has been anemic. Are CEOs dramatically more productive, and workers barely so? That seems illogical, much more likely that the executives are capturing the value of their workers increased productivity. A company doesn't have to raise costs to consumers, it can always cut executive compensation.

I've tried btrfs without much luck.

btrfs still has a write hole for RAID5/6 (the kind I primarily use) [0] and has since at least 2012.

For a filesystem to have a bug leading to dataloss unpatched for over 8 years is just plain unacceptable.

I've also had issues even without RAID, particularly after power outages. Not minor issues but "your filesystem is gone now, sorry" issues.

38000 empty homes is problematic in a city the size of SF with population size 900k. This isn’t just a problem of supply shortage (regardless of the reason for the shortage).
There’s a lot of opportunity to tighten up controls around sim swapping. But I’d be cautious about this idea being used to introduce phone number registration legislation (outlawing burner phones). Legislators have tried and failed to do this at least two times that I know about. Legislatively, this could even be achieved indirectly, by creating the correct liability regulations for service providers.

Not necessarily, but that is always true, even for, e.g., GPL-only projects. I.e. a GPL-only project might recieve a patch, but if the patched code does not contain a license covering that patch, the project does not have a licence to the patch and cannot use it. The usual way this is fixed is by having clear descriptions in your developer’s documentation on how to contribute patches and what licenses must be given to recipients in order for you, the software maintainers, to accept the patch into the project.

> people probably will, in a few years.

Yes, but without the array as you stated. We have 300+ 10TB disks at our datacenter today and, ZFS is relevant at this disk count, I/O and client load.

Running ZFS at small scale is raising a cow at home for a bucket of raw milk. It's more of a fun curiosity rather than a production level operation.

I'd run LVM or md or something similar at home instead of a full blown ZFS setup for practical reasons.
> People won't work for less than their worth.

That's beyond absurd, showing no understanding at all about human nature whatsoever. I have billions of counterexamples for you. I cannot think of anyone I know who hasn't done this at some time in their life. Working for less than one's worth is, in fact, what the majority of the human race is doing. Working for one's worth or for more than one's worth is what is rare and almost nonexistent.
i wouldn't use ZFS either. my guess is 90% of ZFS users have never run failure scenarios and grappled with potential failure modes of ZFS, nor even know that you really need ECC RAM to run ZFS without fear of existential data corruption due to bit flips.

furthermore, the allure of ZFS means people aren't testing their disaster plans until it's too late, bc ZFS is "resilient".

lastly, data recovery is expensive as all hell if even possible. i am talking order of magnitude four figures for 100s of GBs and sketchy probabilities.

ZFS is the ultimate "pet" in the pets vs. cattle continuum. in a world where shoddy engineering and "break things fast" is the zeitgeist, i'm happy to use a classic dumb FS like ext4 and pathologically backing it up and testing said backups.

i would not risk any of my personal treasured data to ZFS due to inherent existential threats. i would implore ZFS users to evaluate and test their setups, and especially use ECC RAM - like, starting now - to protect their assets.
Probably not, given that statement. There's a reason why nearly everything I deal with today in large enterprise uses ZFS.

I dunno. They say that about boats, much bigger than jet skis.[0]

Jet Skis are pretty easy to load/unload and store compared to a bigger boat. Also much easier to maintain, most of the jet skis I've ridden have all been small 2-stroke engines. Bigger than a lawn mower engine, but not as powerful as most motorcycle engines (except for the bigger wave runners, those are 4-stroke motorcycle engines). Like a go-cart engine. Yes, they require maintenance, but also probably the simplest engine you could possibly maintain.

How many things were invented or financed because someone wanted to get rich? What happens to those types of things when it's impossible to get rich?

The answer is they don't happen here, they'll happen somewhere else. They may happen with the same people even, and then you're losing knowledge and experience to other countries, which is fine as long as those other countries choose to be friendly with you.

In other words, you willfully put your country's advancement into the hands of other entities. You no longer control your future.
Wind and solar, plus the already existing 6gw of pumped storage and increased curtailment gets you to 80 percent. The remaining 20 percent requires more storage.

Batteries can help to some extent for shifting day to day peaks.

Seasonal storage is more tricky. Germany has about 3 months worth of natgas stored in underground caverns. One approach would be to use this to store syntheticly produced gases from electrolysis.

Note so far everyone here is talking about electricity which only makes up a third of Germany's emissions.

Synthetic gases (non-fossil) will be required for high temperature heat, and chemical feedstocks for industry. For example some steel smelters in Germany are transitioning from coal to hydrogen.

Nuclear is a poor fit to an electrical grid which is mostly renewable for both economic and technical reasons. However it may be a good fit for running synthetic gas plants which can use both the heat and electricity and require 24/7 energy.

At least disk management is far easier with btrfs. You can restripe at will while zfs has severe limitations around resizing, adding and removing devices.

Granted, at enterprise scale this hardly matters because you can just send-receive to rebuild pools if you have enough spares, but for consumer-grade deployments it's a non-negligible annoyance.

Then you'd maybe get something like iOS, where the POSIX uid practically does not matter at all, and the strong security and separation is provided by other mechanisms like entitlements...

Someone else pointed out that BeOS allegedly had "quality and security" problems in general (I myself have no idea), so that may indeed have led to problems down the line, whereas BSD was pretty solid. But I agree with the OP and don't think POSIX security in particular is much of a factor today.
Which I also find a weird language abuse. The original meaning of "scooter" is the vehicle in Vietnam. Why did we suddenly agree to call those "kick scooters" as "scooters".

That was all based on a "green" news article being recycled on gizmodo. The original article was full of incorrect interpretations of data and so forth. E.g. lawns are not, contrary to the original article, the #1 crop by area.

Lawns in general are green by being carbon sinks. But as with all things, it depends. If you live in the midwest with plenty of summer rain, the lawn costs very little. If you're in Arizona or California, water use is an issue.

Here in europe, for what I know, there is a serious problem for getting assisted suicide (in the states that legalized it) for something like dementia because when you have still few effects related to it they can't accept to eutanize you because you are not in a quality of life threating condition, and once the sympthomes are more brutal you cannot get eutanized either because you are no more legally considered capable of making conscious decisions and you must be capable of it _at the moment_ of the procedure, it's not valid to give the authorization before.
I agree that universal health care should be solved independently from UBI (Yang supports opt-in Medicare For All).

Housing is a more complicated story; there's certainly a theory that landlords will simply raise rents in proportion to their tenants new ability to pay more. On the other hand, a stable income boost might make the housing market more fluid, giving renters more options to move when the rent goes up. I personally favor LVT to discourage rent-seeking, and there's a lot that could be done by removing zoning and building restrictions (multi-family conversions, etc) to make housing more competitive.

This makes a sort of sense, but only if you know little about the drugs in question - antipsychotic drugs, formerly known as neuroleptics - which do not target nor act on any demonstrated pathology, lesion, or abnormality. What the drugs do do, as much in dementia as in psychosis, is "make it so [you] can't think", as Walter L. tells us. To the extent that anyone, with any diagnosis, is helped because of these compounds, it's because of their extreme tranquilizing effects on both the mind and visible behavior.

You're right that the ethics of the whole thing aren't clear. But a fair discussion of the ethics of cautiously using these drugs for dementia in willing participants - much less rampant, off-label uses in contexts for which there's no empirical evidence of their effectiveness (no FDA indication for any of these drugs for any dementia) - would include an honest conversation about the historical uses of prescribed psychotropics, and of political and economic power in the mental health professions and medicine more generally. Such a historical look would show that stories like this one are far from an abnormality, and that coercion, to greater or lesser degrees, is the norm. Some proportion of people taking these drugs (for any reason) undoubtedly do so of their own volition, and some of these may even derive a benefit from them. I have no objection to this. But vast numbers of people have no such luck, and are forced to take these drugs for some reason or another.

Many of these people are difficult: they're old and agitated and their dementia's getting worse, or perhaps they're yelling to themselves in the street, half-naked, rambling incoherently and looking fairly menacing, etc. What do the rest of us want with difficult people? We want'em out of our way (in a nursing home, say) and we want'em nice and calm. The drugs in this article do exactly that. No one with enough time in the mental health professions, or in geriatrics, is under any illusions about this.

"They want docile" is exactly right. So any discussion about the ethics involved here should also ask: "what are the ethics of coercing people to calm down with drugs?"
>I read this as you thinking there's a problem with no more people getting rich. Can you expand on that?

At least with our current system the rich people change every couple generations, if income and capital gains were frozen after $100M without any other changes to the tax code, everyone who is presently rich would keep their money while suddenly there would be no risk of replacing them. Bill Gates would become the richest man in the world, not just today, but forever. That's terrible according to Marixist and modern economic consensus: so not a good plan!

Well there are people who are, you know, less responsible than others, who will also tend to be correlated to the lower-pay employees. If you, say, had the bright idea of starting an "ethical" call center that didn't track when people came in, and since you'll be pulling from the same pool because it's not like you can afford to pay call center employees $30/hr, and you decide "I'm not going to track anyone's time!"...

well, frankly, the obvious is going to happen. You're going to get people outright lying to you about being present. It won't take long before you start tracking time.

And so on for most of the other practices there.

But jerf...

I'm only talking about the other side of the complex of forces that inevitably emerges from this sort of low pay situation. It doesn't mean that employees ought to be treated as subhumans, obviously. Another aspect is that this sort of control will also attract management who enjoys wielding that sort of power. Management isn't guilty. But these restrictions are all generally reactions to the problems management had getting their employees to show up on time. There's a whole back and forth of events that inevitably occurs at scale, which is why the whole job has a bad rep, not just particular companies. The same forces produce convergent evolution between all the companies that have large call centers.

You'll get similar experience managing a McDonalds, or any number of other places where you're trying to get a whole bunch of low-paid people doing a particular job.

As I understand it, the poverty line is $1.90 in USD. Not in local currency, and not adjusted for local prices. Which is why it sounds like anyone living in poverty should starve to death within a week, but they actually don't (because $.190 isn't comfortable in Cambodia, for sure, but if you get local prices you won't starve to death in a week).

If there is no "approved" method for creating Linux drivers under licenses other than the GPL, that seems like a major problem that Linux should be working to address.

Expecting all Linux drivers to be GPL-licensed is unrealistic and just leads to crappy user experiences. nVidia is never going to release full-featured GPL'd drivers, and even corporative vendors sometimes have NDAs which preclude releasing open source drivers.

Linux is able to run proprietary userspace software. Even most open source zealots agree that this is necessary. Why are all drivers expected to use the GPL?
