The US is Politically to the Right of [Other] Democracies
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Sovcit is sooooo close..
  • 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.

  • Steam Beta adds many more Game Recording improvements
  • I have a suspicion that was omitted purposefully to prevent people from just sharing their raw saved replays. Since if you have to clip you'll never end up with people sharing full minute videos where the interesting bit was the last five seconds.

    This is of course just my own supposition from assuming they had a reason for the omission and thinking about what that reason might be

  • What a helpful little kid
  • I don't think "they're a business" properly captures the concern. It's probably more accurate to say that they have a desire to operate efficiently and not waste resources, but it has to be balanced against the need to treat patients effectively and fairly.

  • What's Some Tech That Was Better Than It Is Now?
  • Since they're both Sony

    This would very likely work with most modern TVs that support HDMI CEC. Manufacturers like to put their own name on it, but Sony Bravia Link, Samsung Anynet+, LG SimpLink, Roku 1-Touch, and several more, are all just different names for the same control protocol.

  • Conservative MP attacked online after praising police for arrest in alleged homophobic crime
  • Others said the man's arrest was unjustified and that as a member of a party that supports free speech, Ferreri was out of line.

    So because she is expected to support free speech there are opinions she's not permitted to express? Incredible.

  • This will surely stop people making fun of HR
  • "Waiving the notice period" my ass. It's wild to me how this idea that it's required to give notice when you're quitting a job is so ingrained in society.

    It's a courtesy you can extend if you want to ease the transition for the company or leave on good terms, but it is absolutely not required.

  • D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax was Sexist. Talking about it is Key to Preserving His Legacy.
  • Law is also the alignment of angels and modrons. Chaos is the alignment of demons and slaad. Your point hinges on ignoring half of the D&D cosmology.

    I'm not saying there aren't problematic aspects, but it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.
