The Lifeboat Foundation, a nonprofit focused on existential risks, publishes blog posts on futurism, transhumanism, AI, longevity, and space.
HN commenters link it when discussing existential risk, asteroid defense and longevity research, and for odd items like a robotic exoskeleton for a snake.
The basic Minimum wage [1] is a wage which doesn't need to be subsidised. Only when as I described eliminating dirt poor / poverty line pay rates from a region that had relied on it, would any govt perhaps need to offer a subsidy to employers to swallow the bitter pill of paying the fair rate to all workers. In Australia employers are not entitled to any payment or entitlement from govt or other entities to continue to employ a long term employee earning an existing wage in their employment. Some big companies in the past have had a bit of a whine and gone for a grab for getting some sort of a handout but -- after the last major abuse where the govt helped a couple poor companies out and got burnt when the sods moved overseas or restructured effectively ending the jobs at risk that were the bargaining chip in the first instance ...
I enjoy meeting the few backpackers that visit my region and I've no issue with them working, but for a very long time I've informed any that I crossed paths with, that they are entitled to the same pay rate as anyone else here, ie don't get scammed -- iirc, all of them had been getting scammed one way or another.
I dislike (very understated) the majority of labour hire companies that were around, that arrange the on farm work as they have in the past, actively discriminated against regular aussies looking for a job - since the aussie is more often likely to know what is right and wrong, what is not acceptable and thus the labour…
Harold Katcher and his team at Yuvan Research with E5 are an extremely fascinating attempt as well. His book ‘The Illusion of Knowledge’ (just released) gives more details on the underlying biology involved. Fascinating stuff!

After a quick search, much of the TA-65 commentary seems to be well-placed SEO-optimised junk. Some of it seems like it could be 'affiliate program' stuff too.

I'm roughly 100 percent to rot as meat in less than a century, so I'm concerned with fixing that one first, so I have time to fix the others. The genie is granting wishes, and I'm requesting more wishes.
Civilization is more fragile than most people think. Destroy enough of the infrastructure, and it won't be easy to get back.
There might still be people left, but it doesn't mean they'll have a good time.
