Post-scarcity does not refer to the physical resources required to maintain civilization. It refers to the ability to maintain said resources and civilization without a lot of human labor. We could have ten houses per person, but housing still wouldn’t fall under the post-scarcity umbrella until we could maintain and build new houses with minimal human labor.


I was referring to the fact that building and maintaining housing is still a largely manual process, and requires a fairly large amount of human labor. Maintaining power, water, sewage, and other things required for modern housing requires an even larger amount of human work.

Whether there are enough houses to actually fit all the people is unrelated to this.


Post-scarcity refers to most goods being able to be produced in abundance with minimal human labor. Even assuming that current food production fully falls under that umbrella, housing definitely does not, and it requires a lot more than just food and housing.


The day we can mass produce gold is the day we have a post-scarcity society. Full elemental transmutation, which would be required to mass produce gold, would also eliminate virtually all resource shortages.


Huh, it’s a good thing there is no way to easily determine who someone is from that information.



JavaScript runs on the client. It’s fairly easy to do the encryption there.


Plus, the signal client is open source. You can literally be 100% sure that your keys are being securely generated.



Artificial restrictions on currency is the literal opposite of capitalism.


I mean, it doesn’t look like it’s personally identifiable at all, just aggregate.


Alternately, it could unlock the phone while also erasing specific parts of it, like message history and call logs, potentially replacing them with something you’d set up previously.

Edit: and obviously it would disable the duress pin and set the unlocking pin to it.


I feel like that would be a lot easier to accidentally trigger.


The problem is that there’s a very valid reason to have those that has nothing to do with the tenants. There’s no way in the world I’d have an outdoor pool without a security camera for liability reasons alone, let alone trespassers.
