Just a friendly remainder that "government support" cost money, and governments usually[0] don't have any other source of money than taxation and borrowing, both put the burden in the productive citizens of a country, and had their limits. Very hard to see where the support will be paid off without traumatic consequences.

Of course, almost every economy is printing money as there is no tomorrow, diluting current assets dramatically, and who will suffer that most are those with fixed income like pensionist. Is a very very bad scenario that we are getting into it.

In the US, people wonder how markets are growing since the beggining of the pandemic despite the colossal impact in the real economy, there are many reasons but my contention is that people should take that growth as the new baseline of value, and see how their assets compare with that growth. The difference is how much value your assets lost in that timeframe. Printing money is the magic invisible taxation that most people don't see or complain until its too late.

> I’ve put my hopes on fiber optical arriving soon, which exposes a much larger market on which multiple providers can compete

I live in Lithuania which has a pretty good fiber rollout, and has fair rules for consumers on common access to physical infrastructure by different providers.

In reality though it means you still only have one choice on who your internet provider is. It's not worth it for multiple providers to wire up an apartment or neighbourhood when there is already an existing provider there.

Isn't this going to happen to a real UBI anyway? The grand idea behind a UBI is in its simplicity. Everyone gets it no exclusion but nobody thinks about the fact that a non distorted UBI is impossible to implement. There are going to be "concessions".

It reminds me of the EU CO2 cap and trade system. In theory it would be a highly effective tool. In practice lots of sectors are excluded, a lot of free CO2 certificates are given away and many to the biggest polluters because they may become uneconomical, which is the entire point of the system in the first place. Basically, the system gets distorted so that the status quo remains. This doesn't mean that the system is not doing something but my point is that you'll have to tone down your expectations.

If we ever see a widespread UBI it will probably be means tested and with a limited duration which is exactly what this experiment is doing. It will probably be more effective and less costly but it won't bring wonders. It'll just be an incremental update to the conventional welfare system many countries have.

The main thing preventing that for a good part of the population is that it's quite difficult to earn enough for it to last for the rest of your life. Conservatively you need about 30-40x your yearly spending in the bank to never have to work again. Say you need about 15000€ a year for rent, food, entertainment and other expenses. You'd have to save at least half a million euros to afford that indefinitely. Most people never manage to earn that much excess income and those who do are likely in a demographic that enjoys what they do and would continue working.
They use it for everything except MySQL databases, which are stored on XFS.

You should disable CoW and Caching on the filesystem/-set where VM and Databases-files reside, but that counts for ZFS as well...well for all CoW-FS's in fact.

While I understand the sentiment, they don’t live in a bubble and mask work by lowering the transmission at the source, not as much at the destination.

The Scandinavian model is often cited by people in US as an argument for anything they want to support, but it is never understood; it become a buzzword.

For example people almost never mention the ethnic homogeneity (and the big problems when that does not happen, see Malmo), that free selection of jobs makes gender split even more unequal than expected or the chronic alcoholism in most of Norway. Cherry picking some parts and ignoring the big picture is a fail.

Ok, the download screen is even more broken than I thought. I'm using a GTX1080Ti, and when the download screen is in the foreground, it's using about 15% of my GPU(still stupid, for a static text screen, but whatever), but when the application is in the background.....it's using 60% of my GPU!!! So it's literally burning about 200W of GPU power just to download some files. And all because they probably forgot to enable a framerate limiter on that screen when in the background. Mind boggling.

In the preliminary survey, the average working days was 49 for both UBI and control group. In the final, the average was 78 for UBI and 72 for control group. What happened to make the numbers jump up so much for both? Data error?
With a heavy heart I join the rest of the zsh discussion because these aren’t even factual:

Bash can do a lot of things zsh can’t, and vice versa.

> Fish is a nice shell (probably nicer than ZSH), but realistically it was not a real consideration due to the fact that it is not POSIX compatible.

Neither is zsh, really. There’s emulation modes but I never got the impression that fidelity was a goal there.

It seems that Firefox is finishing downloading the full document before it is able to render the title page. (Some documents can have early pages rendered before the document’s all fetched, some can’t. Not sure what the technical difference is.) For me where I am, it’s taking 8–15 seconds (quite variable) to load the document and render the first page, or 1.5–3 seconds when cached. The equivalent single-file HTML would render completely in easily under two seconds, even including TLS negotiation when I’m 150ms away, and reload in half a second.

Doing things like jumping to the end takes perhaps 200–400ms to render that page in the PDF, where HTML would be instant (meaning “less than 16ms”).

No way would I access this on my not-overly-powerful phone: Firefox would download the PDF and try to open it in a local app (EBookDroid) instead, so all up I’d expect that’d make it something like 20–30 seconds to load, instead of 1–2. And the text would be minuscule (or only tiny in landscape mode) instead of sanely sized, further disincentive.

Good to know about the PDF patent situation. Do you happen to know how relevant that actually is to PDF tooling? Is it a new version of the file format, or a specification of the existing? (My knowledge of PDF is limited; I know the general concepts and how it’s put together, but not much of the intricate detail or PDF versions.) That is, does this help for existing documents, or are existing documents still stuck in a patent tangle?

On tooling, I just don’t believe PDF tooling is capable of being excellent; it’s a publishing format—a compilation target more than anything else—and by design not conducive to manipulability, where HTML is an authoring format, so you can work with it. Much of the stuff you can do with HTML tooling is by design fundamentally impossible with PDF. They’re very different types of formats.
This has to take the cake for one of the stupidest "we won't use this word because it's offensive or whatever" arguments out there.

Just because people call things that aren't a meritocracy a meritocracy does not mean that's what it means. It's like saying we don't want to say "democracy" anymore because China (PRC) calls itself a democracy and they actually aren't. Or if we turn the whole thing around, saying that "feminism" is offensive because TERFs use the term too.

Like, are there actually people who actually think like that? How do they communicate??

#2 is categorically true. Biden has consistently held a larger lead, maintained a larger absolute share of the poll, and had better favorable/unfavorable ratings. There is no way that you can claim that Clinton was ever more popular than Biden except perhaps for that brief period before she actually declared herself to be a candidate.

For #4 the economic growth was under Obama but it meant that at the time of the election people were (mostly) fat and happy; the cost of taking a chance seemed to be lower and it was easier to tell yourself that 'this guy is a businessman, he could not fuck up this strong economy and might even do better.' Now people can see what a catastrophic mistake it was to make this assumption, but I can almost understand the reasoning. I think the point of claim #4 was basically that the most that any candidate could claim about the economy is that they would have recovered it better or done it faster -- another important claim that could be made about it would be that you would make sure that the 'right people' got more benefits from the rising economy and not those elites; the basic populist economic playbook.
That is a bad example. Some people do indeed choose that way to live and there will be always people like that, but the overwhelming majority wants to hold a job.

Its not that bad with the regular search results. Sometimes porn makes it to the first result page, usually its on the second or later.

The real problem is when searching for images. I recently had to search for a lot of images and for basically any search term I entered DDG was able to find porn. Ultimately, this made me switch back to Google since constantly having to risk showing NSFW results on your workplace in an open plan office isn't exactly a great experience.

PDF is more mainstream with more user-friendly tools. PDF supports transparency. PDF is (mostly) consistently rendered by all kinds of client applications. PDF is not a general purpose programming language (at least in its PDF/A subset) - and I’m considering that a feature rather than a limitation.

It's funny that Rachel lists these libraries as the dependencies she's willing to use after demeaning developers that use a lot of dependencies in their work. It just feels like she's completely out of touch with what the job responsibilities are at a startup. Or what it's like to code every day in an interpreted high level language like Javascript or Ruby or Python. Of course you're going to use dependencies in Javascript because you're not going to make a syscall to libcurl to make a web request. If you seriously expect libcurl to be the level of dependency that is acceptable in your code of course you are doing a different job than I am. But please do not demean my work as "VendorOps" [0] because I have to focus on the business logic of the domain problem my company works on.

Means tested welfare works like this: You get $12,000 in stuff, then if you make $20,000 in income they take it all back, so you're effectively paying a ~70% marginal tax rate on your first $20,000 in income (including the ~10% you pay in actual income tax). Everybody, even if you make $90,000/year.

With a UBI, you have an ordinary tax system that isn't secretly putting higher marginal rates on lower income levels, so then e.g. everybody pays a 30% flat marginal rate. But if you're in the middle your effective rate is lower, because the UBI phases out slower -- you only paid 30% on your first $20,000 in income rather than 70%.

You were paying net taxes to fund welfare already, but now you're not paying as much and someone who makes more money than you is paying more.

Moreover, what people receive is cash rather than stupid garbage like housing projects that turn into slums (but that you still had to pay for), which makes what they receive more efficient (they can buy what they need instead of what the central planning committee thinks -- and you don't have to pay the salaries of the central planning committee or the means testing bureaucracy), which means it costs the taxpayer less for the same level of assistance.

It's a much less dramatic change than people seem to think it is, and creates a greater incentive for lower income people to work because people get to keep 70% of the marginal dollar instead of 30%.

Raid 5/6 isn't exactly relevant to this article, given its about laptop/desktop default file system. And the installer won't let you do raid5/6.

Anyway a current write-up on btrfs raid 5 here:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200627032414.GX10769@h...

Includes this observation:

"btrfs raid5 is quantitatively more robust against data corruption than ext4+mdadm (which cannot self-repair corruption at all), but not as
reliable as btrfs raid1 (which can self-repair all single-disk corruptions detectable by csum check)."

But worth reading the whole thing.
Interesting - As RHEL is downstream of Fedora, I thought BTRFS was not being explored further by Red Hat, on account of their deprecation of it downstream in RHEL.

If I recall this was because they didn't have the developers able to work on the software, preferring to use XFS + LVM to accomplish some of the goals of BTRFS as their STRATIS project.

I wonder what this means for RHEL going forward in RHEL 9?

I would be very interested in knowing where did that radium come from? How was it produced at the time? The article says president Warren presented her with 1g of the element - how was it secured, in such a small quantity? Did she bring it back with her just in her purse? So many questions.
Ah, the "leeches" argument.

Lett's start with the obvious: it doesn't matter that some people will do nothing. It doesn't matter that some people will not be working. Not only are the benefits to society great (the yearly costs for society of homeless people, or similar scenarios are much greaterthan a simple $12k.), you're looking to cut off everyone from UBI because what, 5% would not be working? So, kind of like unemployment today then.

We've come far enough as first world societies that we can ensure that everyone gets a liveable amount of money every month. And don't forget that UBI cuts off every other kind of aid. Go live a life with $1000 a month, and you'll realise that you have to be in a very particular mindset to stay at home and do nothing.

In addition, it's also a great thing for the economy, as money is actually being used to pay things, and circulating taxed away from the cash hoarding dragons that are billionaires. That makes Keynes happy.
Beef liver isn't.

Actually what you say is probably what you believe to be true, but it is not: in Western Europe there is a safety net, but it does not work that simple so you work and take a break, with such a work history you can't get any credit to buy a house or a car or anything more that what you can afford in cash, not even an above average smartphone. The safety net works if you lose your job, not if you quit when you want a long vacation. In some countries the money you get are very close to the minimum wage, in others the difference is big enough that you want to work to have some money to get out with the friends once a week.

This is generally known as sortition and was common in the ancient world.

I've always felt it modern democratic politics would benefit greatly from such a system. I'm not sure the same is true of academia, you want students good enough that they do not risk failing at an elite institution, but when setting the threshold for "good enough" it's easy to reproduce the same inequalities you were trying to avoid in the first place.

I worked for a Japanese corporation for decades; regularly traveling to Tokyo.

Japanese culture is really unique; even for East Asia.

They aren’t a “warm and fuzzy” bunch, but every Japanese person is aware that they are a member of Society, with the ensuing obligations and personal boundaries.

Every person in Japan takes their vocation seriously. Quality is absolutely stunning, and is deeply personal to each worker; bordering on obsession. Quality is almost a religious obligation. I feel like a slob, in my own work, compared to them, but most Americans seem to think that I’m way too overbearing about Quality.

That said, it’s no utopia. Management techniques can be difficult to endure, working hours and stress are insane. There aren’t many stress-free jobs, and the nation has a high suicide rate.

I liked to visit, but I don’t think I could live or work there.
For desktop use, what problem does btrfs solve better than lvm+ext4?

Btrfs is slower than lvm+ext4, doesn't like working with large files, requires more ongoing maintenance (scrub, rebalancing), and is more prone to data corruption. Given that lvm can do snapshots under ext4, the only real benefit of btrfs is btrfs send, but for most use cases that doesn't seem like a large enough benefit to be worth the rest of brtfs' drawbacks.
