Practically everyone's job is going to be automated away before long, the important thing is that production is socialised before practically 1 guy owns everything and has to pay no one.
At that point things end up pretty concrete.
These opinion pieces that pop up saying "ha-HA! Behold the petard they're hoisting themselves with!" Kinda miss the importance of preparation.
They falsely expect an easing to an exponential curve.
The cat leapt out of the bag decades ago, we all need to make sure we've got something left at the end of it all
Probably 100-200km on foot, I try to get 10,000 steps a day, but don't always hit it
I probably go into the office 5 times a month and that's about 10km each way, though I'll mix up either using tram or taxi depending how late I am. So let's say 60km on tram, 40km in a cab
Probably do the same kind of split for leisure travel locally, though the cabs are more for late nights or areas not near a tram stop, so say another 60km & 40km.
I probably travel across the country by train about 6 times a year to visit family and friends in near London, so that's 2x 3km cabs to the station (the tram doesn't go there yet) and 2x 350km of train travel. So half that for a monthly average amount, 3km taxi, 350km train. Probably add another 50km of trains monthly just for random domestic travel not to visit my family.
Journeys involving flights probably more like 3 a year, usually to somewhere in Europe, 2x 8km taxi to and from the airport, let's just say 2x 1000km as that puts me in the middle of Europe. So quarter that for average monthly and 4km cab, 500km plane.
Average monthly totals:
~150km on foot
~120km on trams
~90km on taxis
~400km on trains
~500km on plane
=~1260km a month
I don't drive my own car and this is a reminder that I need to finally get my bike fixed. But hey, had no idea I was moving around so much.
Because Rust didn't exist when sqlite was started?
I'm hoping that's one of the first lines on the page
Edit:
Okay there is a section about Rust that it's at the top of
None of the safe programming languages existed for the first 10 years of SQLite's existence. SQLite could be recoded in Go or Rust, but doing so would probably introduce far more bugs than would be fixed, and it may also result in slower code.
Strong urge to just play "Venetian Snares - a lot of drugs" or "Aphex Twin - Ventolin" to someone and try to convince them that's what everyone listens to in the future. But I can't quite figure out who would give me the best reaction, maybe someone like Elvis
Playing something like "deadmau5 - Strobe" or basically anything from Chemical Brothers to people like Bob Moog or Don Buchla, would be a cool experience. Tbh they'd probably love a bit of Aphex
How would a general strike be neutral or positive for the economy?
General strikes have to involve a meaningful percentage of the working population and are only supposed to end when the demands are met. The people on strike stop working, reduce spending as much as possible and stop paying tax.
It's hard to imagine a scenario where that wouldn't affect it massively in a negative way, so I'm genuinely curious as to what you think would happen in that scenario
Edit: I'm not sure I understand why this has been met with downvotes and no comment? I don't see how I'm saying anything false here
Unless it's a misunderstanding that I'm saying people should not do a general strike, which couldn't be more wrong. Tbf I think Americans should have started one long before this point.
Hurting the economy in a sustained manner is the mechanism through which general strikes are an effective tool of the working class
I hold no warmth for organised religion and believe it to be an accelerating net negative to society for at least the past 5 or 6 centuries, probably further.
With that said, these people aren't Christians, they haven't even successfully learned the most basic lessons of their book. They're just a hateful cult appropriating some culture that's got nothing to do with them.
If there are any actual Christians left out there that actually read the fucking bible, they should be (according to the book itself, as far as I can tell) vehemently denouncing this behaviour as loudly as they can ad nauseum. Reminding all their Christian friends this behaviour is the ticket to eternal damnation, etc.
These tariffs are pretty bad for Americans on their own
But the fact the money generated from them is going into a corrupt government, means that money will be funnelled directly towards the people who will use it to make their lives even worse.
Taking extra money from normal people and directly using it to price them out of their way of life.
Sports betting to get your base funds up to a decent level then buy the shares in the successful tech companies post dot-com crash. Wouldn't hurt to buy some gold and bitcoin too.
Sports betting would continue helping you live a lavish lifestyle until all the investment income gets to a good level.
If you do well enough, you should be able to amplify what you've already made to acquire an absurd amount of wealth on the subprime mortgage crash in 2008.
If you want to do it legally, pretty much internet radio is what's left given that list. Though you seem to have missed Deezer from your list, I think they have a free tier, so that's worth a look.
Oh also SoundCloud depending what kind of thing you listen to.
Nope sadly, AI needs GPUs and it makes up the bulk of sales of these chips now.
It would be suicide for any of the companies that could make these processors to not go after the biggest market. The result of a company not doing that would be watching all their competitors grow and advance their products whilst their company's value drops and products stagnate, possibly to a point that recovery to competitiveness would be hard if not impossible.
This is kinda cope
