Action exploration.

I'd like to see someone try a UBI system that was genuinely universal. Literally everyone gets it, employed or not, regardless of income level, but at the same time minimum wage is removed because your living expenses are already ostensibly covered. So if a business can get someone to come in for $1/hour, or even for free, great. All wages just become "gravy" if someone wants luxuries above and beyond basic living expenses.

Under such a system I'd be interested to see how much what are currently minimum wage jobs would need to offer on top of UBI to get people in the door. I could absolutely see things like hobby shops employing people for pennies who'd be happy to be there just due to interest/passion in the subject of their work. Conversely I could see the wages for dreary or abuse prone jobs like gas station attendant or fast food cashier going up because no one in their right mind would want to do it for a pittance if their basic needs are already covered.

What do steam's libraries or its API have to do with ASUS software?

Any entity or group that can be trusted to self-regulate wouldn't raise the question about whether they need to be regulated in the first place.

Headless server accessed via SSH. Hosting Jellyfin, FoundryVTT, a Discord bot that I just mess around with, and also use it to run an IRC client inside screen.

Bad news. They usually don't hire based on relevant skills either. The skills required to create an appealing resume and do well in a job interview very rarely have anything to do with the skills required for the actual job.

They're municipally operated here and we actually had a case a few years back where a small town that couldn't reasonably afford to operate their own fire department needed to make arrangements with a nearby larger town to have fire emergency response services cover them.

The larger town said sure, $50 per year per home. Small town had 63 people, but some refused to pay. Fire department said they weren't going to keep track of which houses were and were not covered, so they had to all be on board or none of them would be.

Naturally a home later caught fire and burned to the ground. Thankfully no one was inside at the time.

Higher pitch is a short sighted adjustment. Wider range, so you can keep your lower registers.

Yes, but due to lossy compression. Not because of any limitations of digital audio.

Or the 00s-10s when everything had to be "HD".

Human eyes are more sensitive to green than blue or red, and more readily notice details and defects in green shading.

 

I can't wait.
