Wikipedia itself is high-maintenance because of the volatile deletionism. I appreciate the patience of the practical editors who have an inclusionist bent, but the add/protect process is too inefficient/risky for my liking. A lot of us don't have the time for political friction in simple knowledge sharing.

Manual mode with onbody interface solves a lot of transitional problems.

I have heard in person, multi millionaires joking about shooting people in the back of the head within the company open office and during business negotiations.

AMD keeping the same standard TDPs at 105W and 65W was such a good design decision. Clear contrast to Samsung's oft-criticized MLC to TLC move with their 980 Pro.

People care about both absolute TDP and power efficiency.

The cost of a product is not only replacement price but also replacement time. Replacing with an alternative is more cost than an identical. High-quality long-life products have excellent value efficiency. The key to online review info is convenient centralized interfaces and accurate-trustable reviews. Curation is the future.

Thought experiment. Suppose 10K people have the technology and willingness to volunteer enough worktime to provide the essentials for all of the US. Some basic income program is implemented to distribute these necessities. Possible? Yes. Sustainable? Yes, bounded by science and political stability. Good? Yes on quality of life floor and economic freedom. Conditional yes depending on competitive accessibility of the system (anti corruption/abuse). Fair? Better if more people share the work burden.

Wise governments should set policies to help this transition.

Incorrect. The use of discarded product by non-market flows has no effect on market price.

Debt only delays the inevitable failure of get-a-job freestyle capitalism as we know it.

We need a new economy. The ability to work and survive does not need to be so precarious. If households could make everything themselves, no abstract shock or "job market" would disturb them. But that is not reality. The key challenges... dependency coordination, natural resource control, and circular negotiation. Answer these to clarify the transition.

With ANA Avatar XPRIZE remote suit-controlled robots we'll soon have work-from-home for physical tasks too!

I use markdown files organized in folders under a master folder version-controlled with git.

Which is better? Basic income or guaranteed jobs?

Are we ok if Alex works 40hrs/wk for 50K/yr total income while Brett and his girlfriend work 0 for 30K/yr?

If robots do actually everything prices are zero. No need for BI or GJ.

This is why options are dangerous. Other people set the price of the stock.

That said, stocks are fundamentally safer. If you own company X and they succeed/profit well longterm, you receive great dividends regardless of the stock price.

Tried the custom webapp and DB solution for a while. Wasn't publicly portable enough (for others to copy paste/export easily).

Currently using markdown files in git repos.

High unemployment means that people with money are buying too slowly and/or too non-uniformly.

The responsibility to spend money quickly/uniformly falls intuitively on the rich, and thoughtfully also with the poor. Everyone, truly.

This is the fundamental monetary-macroeconomic problem. How to guarantee the flow of money through everyone.

How many hours of other people's worktime do you consume every day? Obviously they want you to work for them too. That's what trade is.

So what does fair trade look like? How much forced charity is fair?

Pumping young and dumb people full of debt is bad design. This phenomenon will die as we upgrade the economy.

Junk info removed, mediocre info replaced, tags avoided, logically indexed, curation anti-gaming power-tiered, simplicity focused. I like the principles a lot.

I assume that "using questions" means something like contributors post pre-answered questions, hearkening back to the "questions prime the reader for the knowledge" idea you mentioned earlier. Also was glad to hear you're keeping design elements flexible to upgrade to whatever works better.

Sounds a bit like hackernews for compact knowledge, and I am curious how you will handle the contribution rules without sectioning (what kind of info is allowed) and logical indexing design.

I'd love to take a look and offer my thoughts when you're ready for private review. It's hard to find people who share a proactive passion for the progression of knowledge systems. Couldn't find your email on your hackernews bio, so just email me instead!

Agreed. I wouldn't want to waste my time reading or organizing trash info. Focusing on high quality info makes sense. Time is limited so we better make and live using efficient systems. Without the clickbait adpalooza value inversion from typical VCs or a high burn rate.

I wonder how far you are in crafting the specific user experience. I create an account with my email/username/password then... I choose a topic to enter? Can anyone add a topic (reddit)? Or admin controlled topics (4chan)? No default topic isolation (hackernews)? Can questions be tagged with multiple topics (robotics, business)? How many sections do I see on the pretopic/posttopic pages (chrono index, logical-curated index, valuable-computed index)? Are normal questions excluded from primary sections (lesswrong)? What can curators/moderators do? How do I become a curator/moderator?

You are right about quality answers requiring passionate experts. And they like it when their great answers STICK. Data persistence (no "erasure after X days"). Higher positional visibility on the question page. Well formed question/tags complementing answer text for on-site/off-site SEO. Natural index that leads guidance-seeking novices/journeymen to learning-curved versatile-valuable answers without additional searching/questioning. Popularity of the infosite itself.

2 key points of consideration. 1. Learn from what existing platforms did right and wrong (stack exchange) and make sure you are sufficiently innovating. 2. Determine your platform design direction/niche by simulating concrete examples (agriculture, Q: tutorials for starting a smallscale commercial fruit/vegetable farm?). I would like to hear your thoughts on how you currently want the site/curation to process/organize that example question.

I'm interested in hearing more about its general design. I've been thinking about knowledge theory since 2012 and my current solution is to attach a broad privately-curated knowledge base (ended up simplifying to a markdown-git repo for now) on top of a high-tech engineering business for results-driven credibility/cashflow.

Consider the modern landscape of information.

Wikipedias are exhaustive and generic. Therefore inefficient (full of low-value ideas, distorted learning curve). Anti-promotion policy against spam also disrupts linking to great resources. Best for basic descriptions and factual details.

Search engines are keyword-dependent and unfiltered. Therefore unfollowable (no idea progression map, ex. index) and requires active trust/relevance/value filtering (volatile, learning-rate-limited by current skill level). Best for targeted navigation (ex. find a local bus route) and first-step wide-index exploration (initial net thrown to catch better keywords/resources).

Forums/Q&A involve waiting for answers within a permitted-QA context. Therefore slow, not guaranteed, indexed chronologically not logically, usually brief/incomplete. Best for popcorn-community exploration and immediate needs for new info.

Pierce the abstraction.

A builder spends 2000 hrs this year making your home. You pay him back 420 hrs annually over 5 years.

Some debts are just fine.

Reliability work is unfortunately under-observed and under-valued... until its absence triggers an incident.

Agreed money printing solves the gross income promise. I meant real income as the problem as well.

UBI, guaranteed jobs, seems all these solutions fundamentally require sufficient money flow to work. People spending slowly (rich or poor) means low tax/biz revenue causing program failure. I think the key problem is how we can guarantee the economy to sustain X velocity of money.

I'm doubtful of any tax-based plan as a longterm solution. Here's why. Money needs to flow in a circle for a sustainability. But we can't force people to spend all their money monthly and even then tax is not 100% so net negative monthly shortage risk. Maybe we need a spend it or lose it basic-credit system.

About high paying jobs, suppose we pay 100$/hr for people to monitor the machines, up to a cap of 1K$/mth.

Here's one of the semi startrek-esque longterm solution that works reliably but not yet possible. Suppose basic goods productivity improves 10000X. Then a small number of people can produce the basics for everyone without any money issues involved.

Consider absolute numbers. Suppose monthly food expenses drop to $100. That's 2-3 hours of work for each person to eat monthly. X 330M = 1 billion hours per month. And that's just food. In practice, fair work sharing still seems critical, unless you have a better example in mind.

My problem with UBI is

1. It's not fair work-sharing, if people can live on it.

2. There's no economic mechanism that guarantees we'll have enough money to fund it every month.

I propose another solution. Accessible, high paying jobs. If someone is unskilled, train them. Once they are skilled, guide them to useful work.

What do you think most compels these people to force thru their buying/highlvl decisions despite strong technical pushback?

Ego defense? Desire to participate in the actual work to seem they know what they're leading? Tunnel visioning that they are the CXO in charge of biz and devaluing engineer input in biz-connected decisions?

In a 2 person economy, if person A stops cycling money back (thru trade not debt), person B suffers. Something similar happens in a 300M person economy, so I agree, self driving money would be a great solution.
