Can I tag myself?

Does it mean that people who have an income slightly less than 200% ($61,999) of the poverty level will receive more money (+$9,000) than people who have an income of 200% ($62,000)? These kinds of conditions create distrust when people feel they are punished for working.

What's a risk you'd be more comfortable taking if Universal Basic Income (UBI) provided a floor of income you could never fall below?

1. Work more on OSS projects for decentralized trusted networks and decentralized personal AI.
2. Learn more about quantum physics.
3. A lot of other stuff for education and fun.
4. More hiking and travel.

Yes, high-level PLs should be similar to Unison (compile-time type checks) or FunctionalScript (run-time type checks). For a low-level/system PL, we can take object lifetime tracking from Rust and comptime from Zig, and add content-addressable types (types are equal if they have the same shape).

Yes, Unison is one example. I'm working on another one, a content addressable subset of JavaScript. Also, I have some ideas how a content-addressable system programming language should look like.

Could we have global (content) addressing from the beginning? Then we don't need to rely on DNS. And content-addressable programming languages, please.

Also, it doesn't make any sense from a rational point of view. We all agree that people in jail must receive basic food, roof and healthcare, no matter what crime they are committed. But why people who hasn't committed any crime don't have this right?

I wish TypeScript would apply `readonly` to all types by default. I'm tired of typing `readonly` in my code. PS: Yes, I know about `Readonly` helpers.

Economic Justice In The Digital Age We have a lot of computational power, but our tax systems have not evolved much. Often, these old systems have a negative impact on…

I would also add a tax on accumulated income instead of annual income medium.com/@sergeyshand...

I am looking for a full-time job.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.

If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Yes, I would still support the project. I think a lot of people would consider contributing to OSS, create art, and help others, if they don't need to worry how to survive.

It's more about current economic and business systems, where you need to earn money to live. I can't spend much time to support OSS projects for free. And we can't rely on donations to survive, at least not for small projects. UBI may give boost to OSS.

How private health insurance works in the USA: You pay for it when you have income, work, and are healthy. And you lose it when you are sick, lose your job, and income. It doesn't make any sense, none, zero. It's absolutely anti-human.

The other 5 days, people will spend in line for jobs, food, clean water, and healthcare.

No need to rely on governments; usually, they are too slow and corrupt.

Then, the communities can agree on how to issue UBI to their members in the form of work promises.

Just an idea: if we have digital, decentralized, trusted networks for communities, these communities can exchange promises internally (e.g., one human hour) w/o relying on expensive, external, trustless blockchains. No need to mine promises. Transactions are incredibly cheap and can work offline.

Malicious NuGet Packages Typosquat Nethereum to Exfiltrate W... The Socket Threat Research Team uncovered malicious NuGet packages typosquatting the popular Nethereum project to steal wallet keys.

🚨 #NuGet Malware: Our research team uncovered malicious NuGet packages impersonating Nethereum via a Cyrillic “e” (homoglyph). The packages XOR-decoded a C2 and exfiltrated mnemonics, private keys, and keystore data.

BTW, content-addressable digital space is protocol agnostic and can work w/o DNS.

Internet: failing because of dependencies on centralized data centers with vendor lockins.
VCs: let's invest more money into bigger centralized data centers for AI.

YouTube video by Another Roof The 8-Year Battle Royale that Saved Encryption

Did I just spend almost 3 hours watching a video on post-quantum cryptography? This video is so well made and unfortunately the algorithm won't push it to people because of its length.

At least you can feel good about it because washing a car has a negative impact on the environment.

Sorry, I may miss something. But I still can't see how a minimum wage benefits the economy in the scenario when UBI covers it. Do you have articles or research on the subject?

Also, could we make a more constructive discussion, without useless "False" and "Give it up"?

Why should it be limited to non-profit only? There could be for-profit organizations that are more ethical than others. Some individuals may be willing to accept lower wages for a role at an early-stage local small business if they don't need to worry about how to survive.

I agree that working for low wages to survive is a terrible thing. However, when people don't need to work to survive then they can choose what to do. With UBI, some people may volunteer or work for little wages for non-profits organizations and bring more value to society than some BS jobs.

Instead of outsourcing.
