Even in a post scarcity society where we fully automated food production (as well as the production / continuous repair of all machines and systems that produce and distribute food -up the chain) this is not tenable.

What would motivate someone from going to medical school and busting their ass to help and care for lazy bums mooching off the free stuff from the government? They'd just want to stay in their free housing, enjoying the free food and entertainment too...

This utopia won't be possible until we produce self-sustainable machines that can execute all jobs that humans can today.

The U in UBI stands for "Universal". The vast majority of the people can work.

Just like we don't let people who come to the Emergency Room die because they can't pay, we, as a society, can take care of the few people who, for reasons like mental health, or physical ailment, can't work.
Maybe because most of the initial success was before Facebook bought Whatsapp. Until recently, lot of people were ignoring that their whatsapp was part of facebook (but those people were also using facebook messenger anyway).

Germany and Switzerland have some exotic secure messengers that were quite popular (and may still be) like threema.

There was also some quite suprizing stuff. My inlaws were, until recently, using Viber. They didn’t know why (none of them are computer people). It was wild to me to discover a chat app I never heard off in a circle of people completely outside of tech.

Anyway, the only longterm solution is an open standard. Propably XMPP. Or email after all (it works, look at delta chat).

This is as close to a neutral and objective description of ESG as could be written in English! That is not grievance, and it should not be downvoted as such.
One must remember that US corporations are bound only to the interests of shareholders. DTO is a shareholder-friendly policy as it does wipe accrued wage liability from the books (which for a large company can be substantial). Worker loyalty is (largely) no longer appreciated - what only matters to the company is how well you perform in your job in the most recent year (or so). As a worker, if you perform well, you get rewarded, if you don't, well you run the risk of being replaced.

Fair enough. My point still applies going forward though. After January 16 you'll never accrue PTO again, and it will make layoffs cheaper.

Plus it all relies on the good-will of your direct manager. They don't want you taking time off or even want you to leave? You now have zero days a year.

Not to mention that access to land was fiercely defended by highly territorial tribes that fought wars of conquest and destruction against each other. This is not dissimilar to the behaviour of apes and large carnivores today.

Edit: To elaborate, "civilization" the way I see it has simply put the guardrails of due process around these things. We're still nakedly competing with each other, and in-groups are often bent on the destruction of out-groups. We just have laws and courts to make sure things don't get too far out of hand. It's peaceful coexistence not mass cooperation.
> "You're gonna want something that other people make or do or do to you. If they're not your parents or lovers or partners, you better have something to give in exchange for that thing you want. Otherwise, why would they give it to you ? Making something others want is work."

This also has the benefit being true. The first version is jut false. Life doesn't require work. Life requires resources or the money to buy them. A lot of people are born with those resources or the money to buy them, and therefore don't need to work.

IMO, expecting something for nothing is somewhat immoral (except in cases where you don't have anything to give for reasons such as disability, age, and so on), but spending productive years clipping coupons or collecting dividends without contributing to society is pretty close to the root of all evil.

That's not responding at all to the argument in the article.

The argument is that civilization and property rights robbed individuals of a natural inheritance; a claim to richness of the natural world, an ability to sustain oneself without entering a patronage relationship.

It does not engage with whether anybody needs to make any effort for survival.

The authors argue that UBI is a way to compensate for this loss of rights.

> If we were at carrying capacity the idea would be ludicrous because you not working would result in one of us starving to death.

That doesn't make sense to me.

You seem to think that if we hit carrying capacity, that means everyone is working full time to sustain that? Why?

Let's say all the farms in the world could sustain 100 billion people. Can't we run those farms with only 1 billion people? Why would non-workers cause starvation?
Then start making and selling them cheaper. Apparently there is such demand that people would sacrifice their lives for a hot wok. You could make a killing.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad take, but I would disagree. It’s kind of like any sports debate where you argue about who is the best or greatest of all time. You’re splitting hairs, but it’s still a fun debate.

Also even at the level of your local places, after eating the amount of pizza you do in New York you can tell small differences in quality such that you will seek out specific places in a certain radius.
Although note that with SMS, you're consenting to multiple phone companies knowing your phone number, name, and definitely other information in the form of all your messages. Possible I should have made that clearer in the original article: it doesn't make sense to me that someone would stick with SMS because they don't want Meta/Google/Apple/whoever to have their info, unless they truly believe that AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon/etc. are better stewards of our data. (And I don't mean to dunk on that latter group of companies here...I just don't have any reason to believe either group is better than the other.)
Yea I like it when criminals post their criminal activity online. It's funny cos it shows the low IQ of the criminal and when they are charged for the crime it's also funny.
This has been the exact opposite of my experience, as a current MSFT employee. Every single policy in the past 3-4 years has been geared towards INCREASING time off, work/life balance, job satisfaction, etc.. You could definitely take a cynical view towards this change, and I definitely did towards most policies when I first started. However, MSFT has shown me time and time again that they are standing behind their policies to improve our overall satisfaction.

And why the hell wouldn't they? In a job market with a global shortage of talented developers, not to mention in a sector that can take 3-6 months to get a worker "productive", it's in their every interest to retain talent. It's a mutually beneficial relationship, imo.

> when a request comes into job/views.py or load/views.py then we immediately start working with JobLoadMediator to handle business logic between the two?

In my world, mediator.views and job.views would likely have different audiences.

mediator.views is for business domain (e.g. your API). Though name would not be mediator, it would be something domain-specific.

job.views could be for more low-level internal tooling (e.g. analytics/monitoring). Or it could be empty, if job is just dumb data object that has a lifecycle but doesn't require public API.

> When a Job is deleted, it needs to delete associated Loads. And the states of the Loads will affect the state of the Job

If you want to keep them apart, signals is the right (though not the easiest) answer. job owns (depends on) loads, and subscribes to loads signals. load doesn't know anything about job (ignore the fact that job is referenced in load.models as foreign key, that's just limitations of SQL DDL).

The easiest is a subtle dependency: load can access job through foreign key, job can access loads through related_name. Circular dependency is still there, but it is resolved at runtime. This will start to cause pain when application grows, but is fine at small scale.

Though again, I'd probably merge those apps: if you can't reason about load without job, and can't reason about job without load, there's very little benefit in keeping them separate. It might make you feel more organized, but the if the code is lying about your mental model, this is false organization.
> ...the real point of NYC pizza is that it's available everywhere in the city

I have fam on the Upper East Side and it's not an area with a lot of pizzerias (and definitely not many slice joints). There is a ton of great pizza in the city (and the surrounding Jersey burbs), but you do have to travel a bit for it sometimes even if you live in the city.
> The problem of universal basic income strategies is that they only work when the earth is far below its human population carrying capacity for the current technology level.

You are saying we can't have UBI because UBI is unsustainable. But our current system isn't sustainable either, and actually is putting us deeper into destruction year after year as we come up with new ways to extract more from the planet (and faster) and further pollute the planet.

If our current economic system was gradually pushing our technological level towards sustainability, then push on! But all evidence points to the opposite.

Like out-of-towners asking which cheese steak shop in Philly is the best. The best is whichever corner shop is closest to you. If you're local and eat cheese steaks often, you don't drive all the way across the city to get such a lunch. You walk one or two blocks whichever shop you're near. But visitors want to experience the best, not experience it as a local would.
You should have a well curated DB regardless of whether one or many domain specific services sit in front of it. That is what would enable you to break a monolith up. Good code and architecture is the result of discipline. Your data is your most valuable asset. What you're describing is a mess.

You mentioned RPC's. Your service interface has nothing to do with the data organization.

But if you think microservices is what would work for you, then you should pursue that next time. My original post was a path to a multiple service architecture that approached service expansion with technical rhyme and reason. It really wasn't aimed at your organizations messy database.
Well that's why I said high level application use cases and not systems. Ideally I'd love to see a compile mode for modules where certain conveniences were enabled like: auto-clone, unified reference/owned types, disabled lifetimes and instead borrows become auto-wrapped-arcs, etc. That way you could care about that stuff in modules where it matters, and ignore it in areas where you prefer convenience over zero-cost abstractions and raw performance.
It's complicated and depends on the state. AFAIK California doesn't require an electrician license to be an electrician, so salaries are actually not that great compared to other parts of the country (Bay Area possibly excluded). Oregon does require a license, and there is a wide range of salary depending on which part of the State you're in, but at the lowest a journeyman (comparable to junior dev fresh out of college) will be making ~$60,000/yr in the lower-cost parts of the state. In the Portland area, you'd be making more than $60k even as an electrician apprentice.

Anecdotally, my dad is an electrician and makes roughly what I made as a senior developer except he's way more in-demand and can make a decent living in any city in Oregon (or Maine because they have a cross-licensing scheme with Oregon). I live a couple houses down from an electrician in a LCOL part of the state, and his house is nicer and larger than mine!

I would have gone into the field, but the waitlist for apprenticeships was hundreds of people long during the Great Recession, and it's going to be difficult to start a new career at the bottom for me at this point.

UBI in theory means that everyone in the world should receive a modest income (in the order of $2/day). This is something that I would support.

UBI proposals in practice means that an exclusive in-group gets gets the wages the comfortable middle class wages for free and outsource all their work to an out-group that doesn't qualify for UBI. Working conditions for the out-group are slow to improve because they have very little political power. Meanwhile, the in-group stagnates and becomes completely dependent foreign work paid for by free money. This is exactly is what happens in the Gulf oil nations.

I like how your only analogies for different material conditions are those of animals.

“Things are better for me than they were before humankind literally existed” is such a hilariously meaningless thing to say. Why not go back further? Things are better now than they were before the earth’s surface cooled and formed a crust.
I don't even care if it's good or not I'm just excited there is going to be a standard option.
Why can’t someone make a heat exchanger pot or pan where the combustion air is vented away like we do with gas water heaters and furnaces? It also never sat right with me that there’s a giant tank of near-boiling water in our garage, yet we use a ton more energy to heat up cold water for cooking.

> But it's grounded in an incorrect belief that humanity existed in some kind of idyllic prehistoric state before civilization where nobody had to work. And we can return to this state of life.

No, that's an enormous strawman. It's saying one particular thing was better.
It's not "pretending it must have stopped" it's "stopping it by making it impolite to mention". It used to be OK to make dumb blonde jokes, or (more severely) to be openly antisemitic, or to discriminate against redheads due to perceived Irish ancestry. Yet these are considered in poor taste today. No affirmative action was undertaken on behalf of blondes or Jews or Irish people. We just realized it's in poor taste to make distinctions about people with regards to their superficial characteristics and a few generations passed.

I'm just suggesting we let this same process unfold naturally. And that affirmative action, by placing emphasis on superficial differences between people, takes us in the wrong direction.
> Imagine it were actually possible for one person to own a machine that sucked up all the oxygen in our atmosphere, and that the air we need to breathe to live was then sold to us in cans of Perri-Air like in Spaceballs.

I don't have to imagine anything because I live in area engulfed by smog every winter. I literally have to pay to breathe fresh air (from a filter). What's worse the ones responsible for this just want to not have to suffer the cold.

It sucks, it truly does.

> but it's a common occurrence to tell people going hungry that they should just get a job to buy food.

Unrelated: how often do people actually go hungry in the US? I thought homelessness is a much more immediate problem when you're out of money.
The default state is 'all the land is being used to make food already'. That is the normal steady state in Europe throughout history. UBI is equivalent to the feudal aristocracy in getting paid based on land without doing any work. Except the aristocracy was expected to risk their lives on occasion.

A question to answer: is the enjoyment coming from actually being the machinist, or is it coming from assembling something you designed? The answer could be either. But if you just want to bring something you designed to physical fruition and you are limited on space then I would recommend finding machine shops that will make what you design for you. This is what Protolabs, Shapeways, Xometry, etc do. You don't need to actually have a 3D printer or laser cutter or CNC mill to get things built. You can probably find a local fabricator too. I found a guy that made handrails and would do random welding jobs, I used to go to his shop for all sorts of different things. Even if you get the money and space to build out a shop, there's a lot of skill to these crafts and people dedicate their whole career to becoming experts in them.

You have to do a lot of work to extract food from the land, which is in the point. If there was no economy, just you and a fertile wilderness, you'd need to work your ass off to survive. But more likely you'd die from eating a poisonous berry, starve, contract a fatal illness, or get eaten by a predator.
