I don't understand why the dishwashers leaving needs to cause societal breakdown, though. After they leave, surely someone thinks "Hm, we have no clean dishes any more and nobody's volunteering, so I guess I'll need to clean some dishes, if only for myself, but then once I'm in dishwashing mode it's efficient to clean more dishes than I personally need, and even better if someone decides to reward me for cleaning their dishes by doing my laundry since they realized someone needs to do that".

I mean, isn't this "the invisible hand of the market" at play, just without the intermediate medium of exchange?

It is true, though, as the end of the article points out, living this way defies pretty much any kind of planning, and that can be scary for people.
So what you need to do is take each of these talkers and load their transcripts into a GPT3 model and then let people "talk" with that model.

Call it GPP(tm) and see if anyone gets the reference. For giggles, expand the context length to 4096 tokens and it will even have a better "memory." Now store that context for each ongoing conversation. CH could soon stand for Chatbot Heaven.

I think the appeal of clubhouse was its exclusivity and that we were all in lockdown craving contact and its time of release.That's mostly over now despite the Delta variant taking this into extra innings so who needs this thing? It's just another social network now.
I forsee a lot of people becoming "homeless" in the near future, so that they can get the free housing.
Of course it would be impossible for modern society to stop using money altogether despite what this man might hope. Its easy to see this person as someone who just doesn't want to work. At the same time, I read a historical religious fiction book that describes monks going from town to town offering enlightenment in exchange for food and presumably shelter. Is this any different?

All of modern society joining a monastery or becoming enlightened is perhaps an even bigger ask.
One might argue this was their “viral” marketing strategy and hence may deserve some blame for ruining things. Large VC shops are basically marketing engines for their portfolio companies.

Free money for all? Garcetti hopes guaranteed income test brings big change
Money is only one kind of power as I learned from going from working stiff to millionaire (thanks software biz!) to homeless broke person (cursed alcohol.) There is the shamanic-like power of a deeply spiritual person. There is the leadership power of a good manufacturing supervisor or ship captain. There is the moral power of Martin Luther King or Solzhenitsyn. I've come to the conclusion that accumulating money is how people who otherwise wouldn't have any power to purchase it. There's a easy test I do in this industry when a rich person publishes a thought piece that doesn't move me: Would this person have any power if they weren't rich? A lot of times the answer is no.

This Victoria man has another kind of power: The power that gets other people to take care of his needs for him without objecting or rejecting him.
I got invited a bunch. Never accepted because Clubhose on Android didn't exist. Android is the daily driver. I only use my iPhone to click on OK in the Apple developer app... and occasionally to do Facetime. I guess they launched on Android in May... I haven't seen an invite in a few months, so I assumed that ignoring Clubhouse is probably a safe bet.
And it shows a lack of mental discipline and character to not seriously wrestle with the potential consequences of the perverse incentives created by social democracy.

EDIT, responding to the comments below:

>>Painting social democracy, of all things, as a dangerous unproven experiment amounts to declaring complete moral and intellectual bankruptcy.

Social democracy is a proven failure, despite how many people are indoctrinated to believe otherwise. There has been a broad-based move toward social democracy over the last 60 years:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/social-spending-oecd-long...

And it has correlated with a significant decline in the rate of wage growth, and the West losing its lead in industrial growth.

>>Someone with the bio "Promoting an Ethereum-based world" probably shouldn't be tossing around too much criticism of "potential consequences" and "perverse incentives"?

I'm not asking for any tax dollars to be involuntarily ceded to Ethereum. It will only succeed if it's more efficient than the incumbents. Social democracy can 'succeed' in spreading even as it wastes trillions of dollars in economic output, because it only has to convince a barely informed electorate once every four years, that it's the right path. There is no informed consumer voting with their own dollars like exists in the market.
> Unless there's some sort of heavy workload going on you can have an "inaudible" computer fairly easily.

The catch with these fanless setups is that they're mostly limited to low-TDP CPUs anyway. You can't use the most powerful CPUs with a passive heatsink unless you add fans to help when the workload peaks, which starts to defeat the purpose.

> Something I've seen people fall for is the idea that water-cooled computers will be more quiet but that's definitely not the case.

Water-cooled can be quieter for certain edge cases like cooling the CPU and GPU. You have to work hard to keep the pump quiet, though. I've tried several of the popular pumps (D5, DDC) with various PWM strategies, but they're never entirely silent.

For CPU-only workloads, air cooling with a big heatsink is the way to go. A lot of people are surprised when they look at benchmark charts and see the best heatsinks outperforming most water coolers on the market.

By their own data it seems they were able to effectively combat and reduce homelessness long before the 'housing first' strategy, which is worth noting.

Also notably - is that the 'big dent' made by the program is those that are living temporarily with friends, not those on the street.

In fact, those living 'Outside, in temporarily shelters or dormitories' has actually grown quite a lot into 2019.

It's always interesting to see how detailed data sheds insight into big picture schemes.

> First, just to clear this up: I am not an Android fanboy, and not an iOS hater.

Just to be clear, wasn’t calling you that specifically. That was expressing a frustration against the general type who responds whenever I jump in to share info on what exists and doesn’t in reality.

In your case, I made exactly your point up front and even stated it didn’t meet my needs personally. AltStore does a decentish job of smoothing along the process, but it’s still too much burden for me. But I feel I am very correct in saying it meets the technical definition of side-loading and even the “common knowledge” definition as long as you acknowledge the caveats, which I do.

So what do I do? Well, as much as I’ve spent on phones, laptops, tablets, cell service, internet service, etc I find adding another $99/year on top is just noise. I’m fortunate enough that my career allows me that option, otherwise I don’t know what I’d do as Android has dealbreaker faults for me (I do own a few Android phones, but none would remotely be my daily driver).
You should try reading the article instead of having an instant reaction to the headline alone. They don't simply give free houses to people who claim they don't have one.
I'm not arguing that people in their 50s are bad or stupid I'm saying the opposite. But I find and hear of businesses especially technology-based won't hire older people due to their age. Even back when I was in my early 30s at job fairs the recruiters wouldn't even speak to me.

It could be because the people who hire at some businesses believe older workers are out of touch or get sick or maybe want to (or should) retire. But it's quite obvious there is a definite bias against older people wanting skilled work. Maybe not so bad if you were in the same field and try for a new job of the same but to re-train from assembly line worker to networking...no. I think it would be fine but many hiring for companies do not.

Like I said I'm 52 I went back to school and work in IT. I've been a technician all my life in electronics and computers. I've had many jobs but mainly as a technician so for me it's not too bad.

There is nothing unfounded about the claim that people are driven by self-interest. What data is he/she supposed to produce for a new policy that is only going to show the full scope of its impact over 50 years?

No, there is very clear negative correlation between economic growth and government spending levels:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170821004405/http://ime.bg/upl...

Calling it "wild speculation" is disingenuous given social welfare spending's well documented negative impact on economic efficiency, and the basic economic theory that predicts this outcome.

>>Stop holding back progress with unconstructive and uneducated critiques of iterative improvements to the social safety net apparatus.

Stop taking it as a priori that any move toward your preferred economic system; social democracy, is progress, and any one who questions it is being "unconstructive and uneducated". It's a very emotional/unconstructive attitude to bring to a discussion of such importance.

The way I've seen taxes get handled for something like this is that the company giving, say, a $1000 out-of-band benefit will actually top it up to $1250 or whatever the appropriate amount is so it's (approximately) giving a $1,000 post tax benefit.
If we think about the function of pain from an evolutionary perspective its basically to encourage, well, not doing whatever is causing you pain (e.g. touching sharp objects, standing close to a fire) or provide motivation to fight or flee (e.g. if I am being attacked by a bobcat).

Neither of these are applicable to plants, so there doesn't seem to be any evolutionary reason to evolve pain receptors.

My guess, though, is that they might be trying to fall under Rule 504 ... where the disclosure and verification rules are more lax. However you can't fall under Rule 504 if the offer is public ... and I think that having the offer on a publicly accessible website is a violation.

When Europe does the airport rail connection well, there are both local and long-distance options from the airport railway station.

Bearing in mind it's Sunday at 17:00, here are the departures from Copenhagen airport for the next hour:

17:01 - Metro line M2 through Copenhagen (and every 5 minutes thereafter)

17:02 - Regional train to Karlskrona in Sweden (via Malmö), 230km away

17:06 - Regional train to Nivå (via Copenhagen), 40km away

17:18 - Regional train to Helsingør (via Copenhagen), 50km away

17:22 - Regional train to Kalmar in Sweden (via Malmö), 310km away

17:31 - Intercity train to Ålborg Airport (via Copenhagen, Odense, Århus, Ålborg, i.e. most of the way across Denmark), 420km

17:38 - Regional train to Helsingør (via Copenhagen)

17:42 - Intercity train to Ringsted (via Copenhagen)

17:42 - Regional train to Gothenburg in Sweden (via Malmö), 300km

17:46 - Regional train to Nivå (via Copenhagen)

17:58 - Regional train to Helsingør (via Copenhagen)

The trains continue through the night, ever hour for the longer distance ones, every half hour to Copenhagen. (Though the metro runs every 20 minutes all night too.)

Even though I could also take the metro, after a long flight I often take a regional train from the airport. It's about the same journey time, but the train is smoother, quiet and usually has far fewer people on it.

What causes this is trying to mandate "benefits" by law.

Suppose the benefits cost the company the equivalent of $3/hour. Then at the same cost they can either offer a job that pays $15/hour without benefits or a job that pays $12/hour with benefits. They're not idiots; they're going to offer the one that best allows them hire and retain workers.

That it happens to be the one with the higher pay should be telling us something -- that some workers value the money over the benefits.

Which makes a lot of sense. Many people have a family health plan from their spouse's job. They may value the flexibility of choosing when to take unpaid time off instead of working for $12/hour with paid time off, which is a monetary loss equivalent to more than 10 weeks of unpaid time off when working at $15/hour instead. They simply get less from the benefits than they get from being paid the money it costs the employer to provide them.

Stop requiring employers to provide "benefits" that many employees don't want and people wouldn't have to voluntarily work around it like this, at the cost of being unable to work 40 hours a week even if you want to.

I know what kind of lingo it is, just remarking on how much of it there is in every sentence.

IDK if I'd call the jargon high-specificity though. I'd say that it tends to be broad and abstract. "Suburban and exurban socialization" isn't highly specific.

As I mentioned though, it's not very different from the tech world jargon that's more common on HN. IE, when we talk about "disruptive," "democratizing," "platform" or somesuch. These are loaded terms too.

I was just noting that with concepts like "alienation," it's hard to imagine explaining it to someone without referring to past centuries, artisan candlemakers or somesuch.
Wild speculation masquerading as an educated opinion holds negative value. If you make the assertion, provide facts to back it. People are self interested and yet there are overwhelming examples of entitlement systems that are solvent and functional despite a level of free ridership (which is unavoidable). We provide food assistance to people, some of whom might be able to work a bit more to not need it, but the benefit is overwhelmingly positive. Everyone will not immediately become reckless if universal healthcare is provided. This is no different. Everyone will not quit their jobs tomorrow to get a free home, just as everyone has not quit their jobs to live off of food stamps (or your country's equivalent benefit).

The worst that happens is its an experiment that fails, and there is still value in the data point. If you're not in Finland, and you're not contributing financially to this, I'd like you share why you feel so revolted by this idea, as we have to get to the heart of the core belief or value system being challenged by this effort.

Okay, that's wasted time, and your comment is inappropriate. So in very short and as a last comment:

> I'm a hardcore gamer so I have over 100 games in my steam library.

How hardcore^^ 358 are in mine, + many more GOG and Humble Bundle games + hundreds on CD/DVD I probably will never play again.

> Only low fidelity games work; and certain games trigger the OS to restart.

Linux is around equally strong in gpu driver performance. There are differences ofc, but if game performance is vastly different for you, then your Dell laptop might not be using the Nvidia gpu. Proton is not a factor here, its performance impact is minimal (and it can be faster to run the Windows versions of games with Proton than the Linux version natively).

> Try tinkering with NixOS or arch.

If you tinker don't be surprised if the result is tinkery.

> the fact that you have to pick the "right" OS for the right perspective is a big usability issue in itself.

It's not. You do not know what usability is.

His logic is actually very wrong.

The main reason content creators create 10 minutes YouTube videos is not because of fashion but because it unlocks additional ad slots and monetisation opportunities.

If you do a 10:01 video you can earn much more than a 9:30 video.

Also, in general, YouTube recommendation algorithms tend to prefer monetized content, this is why you see more monetized content in recommendations than non-monetized.

>= 10 minutes: more views, more money.

I’ll give this a try:

Focus on users photos and text posts.

Make it hard to share news and articles. Perhaps a critical thinking “captcha”. Maybe you have to write >50 words on why you’re sharing posted with the link? Maybe limit to two articles a week.

Perhaps your friends could have an anonymous way to indicate that the stuff you’re posting is politically offensive or just obnoxious.

And obviously no filtering. Everything is chronological. (User directed filtering of what they’re shown would be encouraged though.)
This makes sense if you have ever been to Victoria. It's the closest thing to a real life hobbit village you will ever see from a culture perspective.
Especially in larger orgs, there tends to be an ebb and flow regarding “top down” priorities. I might get a few releases to have the team focus on my priorities (as collected from various stakeholders), and then that may be followed by a release or two where some large top down initiative has to be absorbed by all teams, and my function as a PM is temporarily reduced.

This is usually how I get enough focus time to do research, planning, and prioritization for future releases.

This is just one perspective, but getting back to your question about “isn’t this still their job?”, the answer is “yes”, but at least in my case, I’m now doing that job for release N+2 if the whole company is currently focusing on mandates for N and N+1.

> If work activities is about titles ...

It isn't, and I'm not going to go there. But discussion about work activities does need appropriate and accurate labels, for it to be effective.

> So if that means more people do "management", in a context where this is beneficial, then... good? What is exactly the problem?

Who said it's not good or that there's a problem? I didn't.

> You think they are paid too little? Maybe, but then it switches from a work methodology to a salary negotiation problem.

I don't know what I wrote that leads you to believe this, but I said nothing like this. You seem to be reading too far into things I wrote; or worse, things I never wrote.

----

To try and clarify what I meant and where I was going: I was talking about accurately identifying the work that actually happens. Specifically, I was trying to show my parent commenter, ipaddr, how their erasure of such work leads to poor results for everyone involved, including the people trying to even talk about it.

I'm not trying to argue for a better salary or title — I've already got too much and too many of those, as you hope. But I've seen this very discussion happen too many times with clients of mine, with the same devolution. People think their problems will be solved if they get a good "PM". If said PM lacks technical background, they think they can just pair them with a good senior engineer and all will be good. I've seen this fail enough to know that's not how it works; and not because the senior engineer wasn't "senior" enough or "good" enough. As I said elsewhere[1] in this thread: There does exist a big difference between "lead or senior developers" who are good at development and those who are also good at using their technical knowledge to manage a team's work. A non-technical PM lacks that essential latter part, and if they have to rely on a "developer" to step up and fill that role, they're still a PM, but they're not the sole person doing PM any more.

Failure to identify when there's more than one person fulfilling management responsibilities can and does lead to poor planning and hindered execution.
