Ladies and Gentleman money are VIRTUAL, so yes, a UBI system is definitively possible, the point is how much REAL resources we have to share amount the people for their needs and desires no matter if with a UBI or not.

Formally a society is built to serve their people, so it's a duty of a society assuring a minimum living standard as much as possible to anyone, if that's possible is not a matter of money but natural resources, skills to profit from them etc. How to ensure such living standard to anyone and where the bar of "the minimum" is set it's a whole topic and have not much to do with money.

Remember however a thing: most poor tend to remain poor because they do not know how to administer their life BUT they can still live better with a bit of revenue and what go though their "holed hands" fall in someone else pocket, meaning it still makes the economy turning, so there is NO ISSUE in having a UBI for all, unconditionally, also to the richest, with just few spending rules (like you can save money from it, but not more than a certain amount, you can spend it but only domestically) because the money goes from those who receive them to the local activities, spent in food, medicine, play and so on.

The real point is how can an economy have private money, created out of thin air by some who "rent it" to the government as de-facto dictators. And my answer is there is no economy able to survive much in such system, deep crises and wars are natural in such systems.

To me, the idea that the deletion takes time to complete doesn't negate the idea that the data will be gone once the process completes.

WAL archive and backups are external systems. You could argue that nothing supports deletion because an external backup could exist, but that's not a useful conversation.

Make sure to go full portable on windows. Portable software on windows means software that doesn't need to be installed (or is installed only once and never again), software that doesn't depend on any other software in windows (except for runtime libraries), and finally, software that is capable of discovering it's own path at runtime and capable of storing its state data somewhere on that same path. This ensures that your portable software root folder can work on any windows straight away. This way you make sure windows will never loose stuff that's important to you. This way you can change computers at will, you can keep working at multiple computers at a time (just by plugging your USB drive or copying your folder). Simply put, by going all portable you make sure windows is just an easily replaceable underlying engine for your software stack. Given windows' and x86's commitment to supporting legacy software, I have my portable drive in use for about 20 years now, happily expanding my software library and surviving at least 10 generations of hardware and windows upgrades without a hitch.

Here is my recipe:
Get yourself a fast SSD or USB drive dedicated to your own windows portable library. Format it as one partition. Make the partition occupy drive letter A:. Having a predetermined drive letter that doesn't change helps with software that's not 100% portable but still stores absolute paths instead of relative ones. Now create a single folder on that drive, like, for example "MyPC" or whatever. Inside that folder create 3 subfolders: Programs, Documents, Install.
Always put all your portable programs in the "A:\MyPC\Programs\" folder. Always put all your documents in the "A:\MyPC\Documents\" folder. Put driver files and runtime libraries in the "A:\MyPC\Install\" folder. For all three, feel free to create subfolders as needed, either per topic, per group, or however your brain envisions data trees.

There are 2 possible questions.

(1) - Why is a crutch like "anti-virus" software needed? Essentially trying to reactively cat-and-mouse hostile software that the OS has let execute on the computer.

(2) Why doesn't Windows provide AV?

Question (1) is more interesting - and (2) is addressed by other comments.

I think both MS and their customers have very seldom prioritized security over even small compromises in functionality. We loudly blame MS but they are the vendor MS customers deserve. While it's not a democracy, there are parallels to the popular sport of blaming politicians for eg not doing hard choices against climate change while holding the voters innocent.

I see that, too. The article links to Altman saying that a 2.5% tax on value of corporations and land could pay for UBI. Two inescapable conclusions:

Private companies will proliferate with conveniently hard to calculate value.

The relationship between land and rent will only intensify.
This is just how hotels make money. The key is to be very nice to the person who actually brings out the flipchart and asked for it on site. Then it’s on them to actually record that they did it and you know what people are lazy enough and failed to record it.
Yes, or rather, it creeps into systems through workstation clients.
Yes like F1 tyres!
The argument for UBI is that there will, one day, not be nearly enough work available for the workforce. It’s not about people not wanting to work, but that they can’t.
>All companies have to do is present a united front on keeping pay low and benefits nonexistent to prevent workers from having better options. I.e. USA 2024.

Can we leave the cynical antiwork comments out? They aren't helpful. This is obviously not the case for a majority of companies and anecdotes don't help.

Everyone is for the highest pay possible until they run their own company and have to provide payroll.
For what it’s worth - I got the BSOD, once I got the email from IT with the instructions, it took me about 20min to apply the fix. Almost all of the company employees who were affected were able to easily apply a self help fix.

Another point against CrowdStrike: they did not have any "try once and if it fails, stop trying" logic. It cannot be the first time any CrowdStrike engineer saw the crash loop phenomenon. And so, a professional would have filed a high priority bug saying, "we need a way to stop crash loops definitively and automatically".

That would have been literally the headline I'd choose for the bug.

This is incompetence that in a just world would result in the corporate death penalty.
I can talk to the opposite side about why I am very happy going all in with NixOS. Prior to that I was running dual-boot Windows (for games) and Ubuntu (for coding). Despite all of the progress made on gaming on Linux, I was still having problems with the Nvidia drivers in Ubuntu, sway refused to work, hyprland glitched out, and I was stuck on i3 (because I am a full convert to tiling windows managers). I used home-manager with Nix to manage my dotfiles and had been quite happy with that workflow.

As the story goes, Ubuntu had just released 24.04 and I pushed to upgrade. My linux partition was on btrfs. I had been bitten by the snapshots-locking-my-system problem before so I cleared out all my snapshots (and backed up my drive to local NAS). During the update Ubuntu did ANOTHER SNAPSHOT, it took up all the space on device (256GB, yeah I should have had more space) and crashed the system. At that point I was finally done with all of the shenanigans that Ubuntu pulls with apt (not updating everything unless you have their subscription, forcing some installs to go through snapd, separate driver management from apt…), and this last update crashing my system’s boot, even though I could have recovered with my backup, was the last straw.

I considered my experience with Ubuntu, and MSFT’s actions to integrate Copilot into the OS, and decided to wipe the entire 1TB drive and go all in with NixOS. I was able to move my home-manager config right over, get my configs all converted to flakes, and get hyprland set up all in less than an hour. Smoothest transition in a long time. I even was able to jump to the 6.8 kernel and things just started working again. I was finally able to play steam games well on my system again. I may even have a path to get my VR to work in Linux again.

Are there still problems? Sure. Hyprland is a compromise because sway still won’t cooperate with Nvidia GPUs. But, when I have made changes that get me to a non-bootable state, I can boot to a previous generation directly from GRUB, see what went wrong, fix it, and get back to a good state. Having that ability to recover from a bad boot situation without hacking into a safe mode or GRUB console or rip the drive out and put it into another system was incredibly refreshing. I am not going back anytime soon.

Yes, but to me, UBI can be accomplished by taxing these people plus the ultra rich. For landlords, if total rent exceeds 28% of the renters salary, the amount above that is taxed at 90%.

But to me, the best way would be a tax on corporations in an inverse manner compared to CEO Pay. The higher the ratio, the higher the tax

For example something like this. Take the ave salary of bottom 10% of wage earners in the company, excluding over time. Compare that to the CEO or the ave of upper management salary, including bonuses and all other non monetary compensation. Use the higher value.

Then tax the company full revenue before all deductions at the percent of the ratio difference. You will see things change quickly. This tax will apply to companies outside of the US too.

For people without work, there should be $ left over for them.
Agreed, COOPs don't fundamentally change human behavior which has doses of greed. A large COOP monopoly will suffer the same fate as others'.
The only difference there being there are no international governing bodies that specialize in subjecting dicey industrial DIY projects to weapons-grade safety testing and documentation requirements.
In my experience (Clojure) macro-heavy libraries tend to be powerful but brittle. A lisp programmer can do things in a library that non-lisp programmers can't realistically attempt (Typed Clojure, for example). But the trade offs are very real though hard to put a finger on.

There are several Clojure libraries that are cool and completely reliant on macros to be implemented. Eventually, good Clojure programmers seem to stop using them because the trade-offs are worse error messages or uncomfortable edge-case behaviours. The base language is just so good that it doesn't really matter, but I've had several experiences where the theoretically-great library had to be abandoned because of how it interacts with debugging tools and techniques.

It isn't the macros fault, they just hint that a programmer is about to do something that, when it fails, fails in a way that is designed in to the system and can't be easily worked around. Macros are basically for creating new syntax constructs - great but when the syntax has bugs, the programmer has a problem. And the community tooling probably won't understand it.

“Best” isn’t a simple objective trait. Is that the one which lets you get your job done for the lowest cost? Or the one with the easiest training and documentation? The most consistent UI so you don’t have to retrain people? The one which avoids geopolitical concerns about ceding control to potentially hostile countries? Is it the one where you have the most control over the direction because e.g. there could be an Swiss digital service cranking out patches for things they would have to haggle with someone at Microsoft or Oracle to get implemented? What about the one which you can most easily fix accessibility problems with? (That last being a legal requirement doesn’t mean that certain companies don’t try to blow it off release after release)

Every one of those will have someone arguing that it should determine “best” status. A compromise like “usable and we have more control” seems quite defensible.
There was a great episode of Type Theory for All with Conal Elliot as a guest where he decried MITs decision to switch to teaching Python instead of Scheme for introductory programming. He makes a very good case for how CS education should be aiming to pursue the greatest truths and not just equipping people with whatever employers want.

> Yes, with caveats.

> 3) You must reduce all other benefit programs by the amount of the UBI to help pay for it.

This isn't a caveat. A caveat is "something that is possible". This is about as possible as asking a human to flap their arms and levitate as a result of that flapping.

Firstly, there is no way, on this earth, that you are going to convince the population that a healthy young male who wants to only play videogames gets exactly the same amount as a crippled mother who is unable to work.

Secondly, you have to be prepared to let people starve to death in the streets. If that non-insignificant chunk of people who have gambling/alcohol/sex/drug addictions blow their entire income on the first day of the month on slots/booze/prostitutes/drugs, any funds you set aside for them means that what you have is UBI + existing welfare, not UBI instead of existing welfare.

Huh? No, when driving in Quebec or Ottawa etc, there might be an "English" way to pronounce the names (like the kind of thing my anglo self would use, bad pronounciation but making an attempt), but it doesn't do that... it actually just reads out this weird literal phonetic output as if it was an English word and it's unrecognizable to anybody from the area or anybody who grew up in Canada and has a basic idea of how these words are pronounced.

Even, like, names ... Duplessis or Cartier or whatever... just completely unrecognizable.

Or take the way it reads out the exits off the 401 in Toronto, reading the full bilingual sign (where there is one) with the English first and then the French part as if it was a continuation ... in English ("Sud" read out like you'd say that if it was an English word, hard D and everything.) Clearly, they should just drop the French part, but their system can't comprehend that a sign could be bilingual. Because America.

Look, I don't speak French, I'm not bilingual, and it drives me nuts when I'm in QC or even just Ottawa etc. I literally can't tell what street it's talking about, it doesn't correspond with the sign. It's incoherent.

What's mind boggling is that Google navigation is completely fine reading out Spanish words when I drive around California. C'mon.
This is similar to arguing in favour of the existence of dictatorships, as not having them restricts the choices of what kind of society people can choose to move to.
