If all people were computer literate enough to be able to do their work with many tasks automated by themselves using machine learning to do so then there might not be a problem. It looks like, maybe we can make machine learning easy enough to use for more people though.
Nobody said there aren't problems to overcome. And energy storage should be at the top of the list. IF we can do energy storage a lot better (technology and price) than we do now, things will go really fast. But, big IF.
In Germany they used to help fund the research and subsidize solar power, etc.
These days they are not doing that anymore, they now are doing that for energy storage. Like: batteries. A pretty famous example of that would be Tesla powerwall.
Always amazed when my fellow countrymen come up with these things. I think it shows the great attention to detail we spend on building infrastructure.
This is the same country where certain traffic lights for bike lanes would get preference when it was raining so people on bikes could get home quicker.
The process and having multiple environments is much more important than everything else. Making it easier to do so should just be a time saver after that.
Yes and no, what Gitlab is doing is to do that for the applications.
But this is about deploying the infrastructure as well, here is one of a bunch of talks on the subject (gitops is a weave works their own term, there are others doing similar things but it has no official name):
Of course, you don't want to get locked in to AWS if you can help it, but containers can help with that.
This is why I think Kubernetes is such an interesting project.
It's the Docker PaaS with the most 'mindshare' and works on every infrastructure, you can integrate it with a lot of different networking systems and has integration with all the major cloud providers and more. Like working on getting federation between clusters working properly.
People are now even doing: declaritive configuration in git-repo -> branch -> deploy -> update git-repo with information of running systems (git repos as source of truth).
It just needs people to start sharing what they are doing in this space to have a full open source stack you can deploy anywhere and have it heal itself when 1 or 2 machines are lost, just automatically start some new ones and load it up with new containers and data.
And not just for stateless containers anymore, finally people are starting to integrate it so data is replicated:
We already have gitlab which is a good alternative, but we need a way to be able to host our public repos in a way that they won't easily vanish. Maybe we can do something with ipfs for that ?
Slashdot Mirror
UBI is not that much more expensive than current taxes IF implemented as a replacement.
A bigger problem is, when everyone has UBI how will prices develop ?
Yes, this is one of my worries.

"Millions of illegal immigrants voted in California"
As a foreigner, I've seen both sides claim different things.
I would say: prove it.
These numbers go to up to 2012, we don't life in 2012 anymore.
How about instead of that we allow humans to get bigger brains not confined by their energy consumption what would happen then ?
Maybe some 3D printing can help.

Well, almost all fundamental research is funded by the state (so that would be indirectly the elected politicians).

Not sure, but maybe it could also help with bringing down the price of laptops with less memory.
What I do believe is: if you use a 4k camera, you can get better 1080p videos.
Your limit is actually Apple, not the underlying PC laptop hardware. You are able to buy machines with more memory than 16GB for a while now.
Not sure about the time frame, but Lenovo also sells 64GB laptops at this time.

It's kind of like infrastructure as code, but you are managing everything directly from declarative files in git
Well having some kind of good git-repo mirroring would be a great start.
For the company I work at, we were already running Gitlab.
Had already set up Gitlab for my personal private repos on a server I run for my personal projects.
Today I learned Gitea also exists. That could mean, even less resource usage.
Github is build as a distributed system, I don't think the infrastructure below it is all that hard to move to an other provider.

We are pretty close to having that full stack.
Looks like new ideas you can build a company around that attracts lots of users (aka be first) are 'worth' the most.
I guess the point is:
not interested in dealing with/depending on an other company.
Thank you that looks interesting.

Are you in the US ? Maybe try ways to do something about it.
I'm not, but maybe look into doing something about, here are some ideas (they might be stupid ideas, I don't know, I don't know US culture):
