Great stuff! Now who's the first person to listen to the entire linux kernel source code? ;)

Based on a quick read I didn't understand:

a) What is the goal? b) What is the problem relative to the goal? c) What is the solution that will help to reach the goal? d) Who would use it (whatever it is), how and why?

AWS sounds like a good idea until you start calculating the cost of the setup with any kind of clustering and moderate data traffic.

If country X introduces UBI, the prices WILL go up (it's not a question of "if" - it's guaranteed). UBI will nullify itself quickly. And if everyone gets UBI, then we are at the starting point. Anyone can start new businesses even today.

Government spending goes through the roof (due to money printing) OR they have to raise taxes ridiculously high. This will make working even less appealing and people start to downshift - until they quickly realize that they can't. If you raise taxes, many companies simply move their operations to some other country -> loss of jobs.

What's worse is that due to prices going up, the businesses become non-competitive in the global market. Why would you buy product Y from country X if the price is a lot higher than in any other country?

When the export business dies, companies start to die and people are out of jobs. It's a ripple effect that goes through the entire economy.

Then it doesn't matter how much money the government is giving you because prices are high and as jobless you are quickly dead broke.

If due to introducing UBI all other social welfare support is removed, sick and disabled people start getting homeless and dying left and right because UBI simply isn't enough for them.

The final nail to the coffin is that other nations tell country X: "We don't accept your currency anymore. Pay with something else or you don't get the goods."

Frankly I'm surprised that this hasn't already happened on larger scale - UBI or not.

UBI benefits are quickly nullified because prices start to go up. Inflation effects everyone - not just people with cash reserves. It just radically increases government spending and debt which eventually leads to crash of currency value.

How do you get all that money so that you can pay people UBI?

Either you have to raise taxes sky high or you start printing money like never before. Both are poor options.

If you want hyperinflation, that's the route to take. The more government is injecting money to businesses, society and people, the more expensive everything is getting.

At the same time this dilutes the wealth of people and companies who have actually saved money.

Countries need LESS socialism and government control - not more.

Those rejection emails are most likely sent by an AI. If you reply back and ask them to specify exactly what is wrong, you'll get the same generic email back. Ask again, and they'll send the same generic response without any details or comments written by a human. They simply can't specify the problem at all. That's how you know you are talking with an AI, not a human.

The correct way to respond to those rejection emails is to ask for a "human being" (this is the keyword that works) to review the case. Also explain in the email why there isn't anything more you can do (if you have done every possible fix already).

As a side note, when AI systems get more common, this will be a common nightmare for regular people. When an AI makes an incorrect decision regarding you, no-one can check the code why it happened because the code doesn't exist. All we may have are some weighted matrices and neural network data as bunch of numbers.
