The Basic Post-Scarcity Map
A society in which all basic human needs are provided at zero or very low cost without significant human work can be defined as basic post-scarcity. Our civilization is getting close to the point where this is technically feasible.
To reach this milestone as soon as possible, we introduce here the Basic Post-scarcity Map project, an effort to map the current technological state of the art and to understand how far we are from a basic post-scarcity society. We are currently in alpha stage, and we are releasing early to gather feedback and collaborators.

This project is an attempt to provide unbiased answers to the following questions:

- What technological advancements are needed to reach basic post-scarcity?

- What is the state of the art, what resources are available to learn about it and who is currently working on improving it?

- How far are we from achieving basic post-scarcity and what are the bottlenecks?

To accomplish this, the basic idea is to build two maps: the first where we will deconstruct the basic needs needed to reach basic post-scarcity and the technical milestones needed to satisfy them with minimal human work at the minimum cost. The second in which we input and update the state of the art for each of the technical milestones.

References to the current state of the art and the resources needed to learn more about it are collected in separate pages forming a shared library.

This is an open source and collaborative project. All contributions are fact-based, with no projections, opinions, marketing or propaganda.

We believe that having a searchable and living assessment of the state of the art will enable people who want to work towards this goal to know what is needed, what is currently feasible and who is currently working on what.

We are aware of the many limitations of this approach and in particular we know that technical bottlenecks are not the only roadblocks to a basic post-scarcity civilization. However, we also think that it is not unreasonable to assume that reducing the cost and the manpower associated with fulfilling basic needs will make it easier for public and / or private actors to provide them as widely as possible.

Our goal is to make this project simple to contribute and update. At this stage we need help creating technical milestones. Domain experts are particularly welcome to shine light on the state of the art for the relevant milestones in their respective fields. Additionally, anyone with reference materials and / or knowledge of people currently involved in solving these problems can contribute by sharing their resources in the library.

The project is currently live at: https://postscarcitymap.org/

You can make contributions directly to the library by editing the pages on our Gitlab repo: https://gitlab.com/postscarcity/library/.

At the moment the process of updating the tree is still pretty manual, but we plan to automate it more.

If you want to join us as part of the team and contribute regularly, we also have a Discord server: https://discord.com/invite/vhc8EZkmEv

We welcome feedback and contributions of any size.
> FPTP election [...] pretty much guarantees theocracy in your example

Yes, FPTP doesn't fare better here mechanically. The advantage of FPTP (which, to be clear, I still think is terrible) is that most voters understand that they need to vote strategically and understand how to do that. IRV is often sold on removing the need to vote strategically, and it does not do that, while making the correct strategic choice more complicated than "the better of the front runners".
This may seem like a low effort response to the topic at hand, but sometimes these are necessary against low-quality articles that like to dance around the issue.
This is a bit overstated. Yes, FPGA accelerators can be used effectively in some common genomics workflows. However, my experience is that the right software running on regular Intel/AMD/ARM processors is very competitive with FPGA-using solutions.
When I was in the military we had rules about parking in front of strip clubs, brothels and bars. The vehicles had to be a block away. We were allowed to use the vehicles for personal use otherwise because we were always TDY Temporary Duty. Fire departments should consider adopting this policy and perhaps cover their friend in a fire blanket.
Bundled streaming services will still be infinitely better than cable was.
I found this line The Greeks were also “obsessed with being Greek” and considered anyone who did not speak the language to be a “barbarian,” as Katherine Reinberger, a bioarchaeologist at the University of Georgia of the article extremely funny. That’s a weird way to say that yes βάρβαρος does indeed mean someone who does not speak Greek, a foreigner in Ancient Greek.
Exaggerating (not lying!) is a helpful instrument that you sweet Germans yet have to wrap your head around ;-)

I signed up on mobile not realizing it requires a Chrome Extension in order to work.

Is there a Firefox extension yet? I think those can work on mobile.

Enabling people to create product demos from their phones would be badass!
I could be a code mini-map thing. That would be perfectly reasonable.
The US population pyramid is no longer a pyramid, and neither are those of most of the rest of the world. Not having to pay to raise a larger generation created a golden age that's lasted thirty years. It's now time to pay the piper.

It could also be that your phone has some sort of MITM or packet sniffing program that is doing an insecure redirect, capturing your intended destination then sending you to it.
Qutebrowser for the keyboard driven navigation. Its backed by chrome, instead of Firefox unfortunately (I'd prefer there to be multiple browser engines out there).
Thanks for adding value to this discussion. /s
Nah, it's a trap. At minimum, you have to be aware that Amazon isn't a store; it's a buyer-beware American version of Alibaba.

If you walk into eg a Target, you can be pretty sure that everything in there except perhaps vitamins is a legit product.
This is a good question. Regarding letting customers talk, the teams that were most successful had great salesforce hygiene, and teams with great salesforce hygiene were required to fill in certain data points. This means that there are commonly asking questions and listening more than talking. Likely they were evaluated as sales representatives based on the quality of the data that they provided in salesforce as well as quota attainment. Overall I think the act of listening and asking questions versus delivering a script means you're qualifying your leads more appropriately and they're just better candidates for purchase.
I am seeing the same issue
Yes, on account of a variety of factors such as "the type of fish, size, location, habitat, diet and age." Large fish that are at the top of the food chain tend to have some of the highest mercury levels based on the natural accumulation of mercury as you go up the food chain. You can check out more information on this topic and which fish have the highest/lowest amount of mercury at the following sites:

I don't think it's a particularly good example that the article keeps talking about smartphone photos, because taking even mundane photos is at least a creative act.

Digital hoarding would be more like acquiring masses of TV shows and Music that you never watch. Or saving hundreds of articles to Read-it-Later lists (ahem).
Could be using a mobile browser. Chrome's Google account integration makes it really annoying to switch.
A while back I wanted to become a customer of a company I had formerly worked at. I reached out via an executive-level friend and former co-worker who made a warm intro to sales. And STILL they first scheduled a call with a brand new to the job BDR who knew less about the product than I did. Not that person's fault, and I felt bad for them, but it was a complete waste of everyone's time.
This is a really great article that doesn’t shy away from technical aspects while putting a human face on NTP. It’s really cool to learn the history behind something we take for granted.
That's a relief. For a moment I thought we were going to have meaningful competition that resulted in quality of life improvements for viewers.

I don't understand how someone can tie 50% of their income to a highly volatile asset. But thanks for the perspective.
can you explain how paying for hundreds of channels I don't want is a win for me?
this has nothing to do with security updates. any vendor is free to ship security updates however vendors often decide to refuse updates to "tainted" devices.

Sales calls are recorded for a number of reasons. Most of them good for the customer. You should be happy people want them recorded it means they care
You’d think this will help. But all it’ll do is cause more inflation. This money comes directly to the people. Meaning their creditors don’t get paid. And we all know what happens when people come into money. It’s gets squandered, causes a shortage and causes more inflation.

Rents are sky high because the government decided to directly pay people instead of their (I hate the word) landlords.

If your argument relies on classifying the elderly and virtually every corporate employee as technical users perhaps you should rethink your argument.

I doubt that, monthly subscriptions would have been a major hassle back in the day. Requiring a lot of administration.
Of course, iptables is an older syntax, since replaced by nftables. Learning both isn't too hard. The easiest fw is the Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) which is also probaby worth learning for completeness.
“Channels” are not uniformly priced. Some, like ESPN, are very expensive for the cable providers while others are cheap. But, those expensive (and popular) channels subsidizes smaller or niche channels.

Former SiFive employee here...

Sure, RISC-V is the wave of the future, but there's more to a hot chip than an open/free ISA. RISC-V is a few years out from directly competing w/ Intel, but it's advancing very quickly.

Also worth looking at what StarFive is doing. They seemed to avoid a few corporate missteps SiFive fell prey to (no. I'm not saying SiFive is dying. I'm saying StarFive was able to learn from SiFive's mistakes and seem to be growing even faster.)

The RISC-V community still feels very "academic" and seems to eschew people with real-world experience. Maybe that's for the better. Maybe it's better to ignore the things industry did wrong in the past. But If you're from the Arm or MIPS communities, it feels a tiny bit stuffy. Also, you need a Ph.D. to be taken seriously.

Most importantly... I would really love to buy one of these boards. But it sounds like that's in the distant future.
I haven't been able to find the name of who exactly, most articles only mention "unrelated construction work", which is why I made the previous comment, but as the other commenter answered, i guess that would be a separate lawsuit.
Recalls like this happen for ICE vehicles all the time; this is hardly unique to EVs.
I couldn’t hide my dislike for it and commented. Maybe it was unnecessary to draw comparisons to reddit and it’d be better to just state HN rules. I will try to consider this next time. Thank you.

I think the project instances exist so people will at least get on board, try it, figure it out, and move on to a more suitable instance rather than abandon the whole thing entirely. The alternative is losing lots of potential users at the front door.
I think that was OP's point. The code is the contract and bugs are just loopholes. Anything the code allows for is by definition part of the contract.
I don't think that's a complete case, you can't just say that the bayesian answer would be difficult to reconcile without offering it.
I keep reflecting on this and the more I look at it the more skeptical I become.

I think three things are driving Zucks metaverse play:

1. He needed to escape scandal engulfing his whole company, rebranding to meta has been a grand distraction probably buying him multiple years away from scrutiny as everyone is distracted with his "cyberspace 2.0" vision.

2. Apple has squeezed the cash cow, ad sales are stuffed on iPhone now. It's like a drug dealer banned from the best nightclubs. In desperation they try to open their own club where people can buy all their wares. In this case a place where he can set all the rules and sell as much ads and collect as much data as he wants. Sort of “Screw this we need to make our own space for people to hang out.. aha meta space/verse.”

3. His hardware play is already on VR, and with Occulus etc he has the hardware but he needs to build the narrative or his hardware is all just niche novelty tech. If he can make the Metaverse ‘important’ his hardware could turn into the new Facebook platform (to rival apple's vertical integration)

That's my take. I'm skeptical of long term success. If I see AR/VR glasses starting to breakthrough mainstream I'd reassess.

Just been mulling over this. My 2 cents. Of course I could be missing all the signs of the next big thing, but honestly I don’t think so.
What a strange comment. I don't have socks on if I exclude the left and the right one.

What are you saying?
We should legalize the use of fake IDs with private organizations as long as there is no intention to commit a crime.

Only the government should need real IDs.

For example, if I am actually over 18 and intend to watch a video intended for over 18, I should be able to use a fake ID for it.
One marketing campaign can change it in no time. Maybe not for the entire industry but certainly for Lenovo.
It's surprisingly inexpensive! Our bill for the last three days (about 8k websites built) was around $75. Definitely more expensive than standard servers, but not too bad.
I’m done with video ads. My new policy is: “not even once”.

I’d rather not pirate but it doesn’t feel wrong since I’m perfectly willing to pay for no-ads products if they are available.

90% of my entertainment is from YouTube Premium and I love it. The rest is HBO and Hulu with the no-ads package.

I bought Hulu Live for a show, cancelled it immediately when I realized it forced ads.
I don't know where you are taking your data from. In Berlin, you can but butter for €2.20-€2.50. Do you want to say that in 2020 I could buy butter for €1.10? Same with eggs - €2.70-€3.00 a dozen. I don't think you could buy them for €1.35 (that could be the price 10 years ago).

I don't think I'm particularly well off. I rent my apartment and I don't even have a car. I regularly meet with the members of my family living in different places and the amount of complaining hasn't increased considerably. There are more Ukrainians everywhere mostly women with kids, but they're nice people and many of them are working wherever they can, it's very good for our economy.
I think that the bull market was definitely created by QE - there were some bloody days on the market in 2008.

It was a massive bail out for the financial sector. Did it work - we will see, current signs are not good.
The first time I was interested in programming I started learning C. I was 14 and what I used was "The C Programming Language" book. It was a great experience,
I think you're absolutely right that there are nuances such as what you described. More: I imagine there are very few offices/homes that run completely on clean energy - in the most naive formulation of the license, no one could test the software locally!

Likely first you'd need some progressive system (e.g.: no less than 80% now, no less than 100% by 2030).

But I disagree with you on that people in many countries would not be allowed to use the software - you would still be able to use the service (i.e., visit garnix.io, have it build things), or even host it yourself in a different country. Yes, countries with more green energy (rather than exclusively cheap energy) would benefit. But the countries with high green/renewable energy aren't even primarily rich ones [0], so I don't feel too bad about that.

Note that this argument only applies to services such as garnix, where you can still use the service (so it would be a bad license for, for example, a text editor).

I see two better ways to use this money. Either pay off some of the debt. Be it state level or lower. Or then cut taxes next year with this money.

Both would be fairer and more sensible solutions.
It seems rather self evident to me that with 3 people you simply cant do everything well and I personally feel that extending your runway is likely a much higher priority than ensuring diversity when you have not even hired your first employee.

This might sound weird - but does anyone have a story where "just trust IBM for something important" actually ended well? (Maybe limit it to the past 10 or 15 years.)
I feel like streaming has shown it can work like that, at least somewhat.

The sports channels (ESPN, etc) are the most expensive but were bundled with anything more than the most basic package. With streaming they're split out.

The Disney bundle example in the article shows you can save by going a la carte.
Economic Limitarianism
The money is gone but you have a lot of qualities, you can learn from this valuable lesson and do better in the future. For example, I know someone who buys companies that have 20 years of consistent profits. He is down 9% this year, but fell far behind people who were making money from technology stocks in the boom times. He only looks at his stocks every 3 months and worries about nothing.

In one of the Market Wizards books, an investor said that if he cannot sleep from worrying about his positions, he sells them until he is comfortable.

If your company is granting you call options, all your new ones will be at lower prices and they may even lower the strike prices on the old ones to retain good employees.
Try to get investments that are not correlated with the success of your company or industry or where you own property.

The boss that hired me 15 years ago told me to save 20% of my take home income and invest it in quality companies with consistent earnings. He later retired at 55.
Cut your costs, pay off your debts and lower your personal overhead, so that you are more resilient if you have to switch jobs or earn less money.

Timing the market over the long term is very difficult and it is better to assume you cannot. It has been known for decades that if you miss a couple dozen up days because you were flat or short the market, your returns over decades are much lower.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-missing-out-on-25-days...

If you are going to buy stocks or an index like the S&P 500, take a look at 50 years of data and see how bad the top 10 declines were and how long it took for those investments to reach new highs. The stocks I own have gone down 50% previously and I assume they could top that with a 60-70% decline. The worst time it took almost 3 years to get back to new highs. Once you know that about your investments, you can rest easier.

Look for chances to buy quality companies so you do well when profits improve. You have all your valuable skills, you know more now and will do better in the future.
I find this to be backwards.

Music doesnt derive from music theory. Instead music theory develops to understand and examine music that already exists. A huge error that a lot of music theory hobbyists make is to overuse it or use it in contexts where it doesn’t make sense (e.g., using theory developed to understand Mahler to understand EDM).

As much as we like to imagine that music derives purely from the mathematical relationship between tones and that aliens would produce the same music we would based on universal physical principles, that’s not the case.
Do you have any links with more information about this?

Apparently >300K fled. Where are their voices of protest now that they are safely abroad? They still arent against the war, just against dying personally. No asylum.
Safer indeed.

I do not worry about people spying on me, I worry about empowering China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, or any such country that would happily eat our lunch if given the opportunity.

Do not empower people who would happily screw you over.

Keeping as much distance as possible from Chinese influence in all of the products you use in your home is essential to having a home that remains functional should we ever go to war.
One could say that air travel is much cheaper than it should be, if airlines or fossil fuel companies had to pull those greenhouse gases back out of the atmosphere. Getting to space is even more GHG-intensive, orders of magnitude more for orbital flight.

There's nothing wrong with the markets being down. It means the dollar is up? It's perhaps a good time to buy. The problem is with your bets being wrong.

Controlling the narrative.
Packages can be a win-win, particularly if they are optional.

If you want more than one thing, and paying for both together in a package saves you money, or is a worthwhile convenience for the price, it's a win-win.

If you don't want all the things in a package, and the price is more than you'd pay for the things you want, it's not a win for the consumer.
