You really ought to get to know some Mormons ;) (spoken as a former believer). One reason some groups, like atheists or evangelicals, are so vocal is because they believe that the damage done to society by others not sharing their beliefs will be irreparable. This is why beliefs and decisions need to be rooted in reproducible evidence, rather than the reverse.

My first thought: you forgot medical insurance. But I guess if you are making under $10K a year you get it for free. I know I pay $11,500 for medical insurance with a $18K deductible, so could have as much as $30K a year in medical costs. Meaning you have to earn $50K just to cover medical (married 57 yrs old, self employed).

I agree with that, but the parent comment is specifically suggesting that money laundering should not be a crime.

"Job insecurity is a central theme of the 2016 campaign, fueling popular anger about trade deals and immigration. But economists warn that much bigger job losses are ahead in the United States — driven not by foreign competition but by advancing technology."

Technology in and of itself destroys and creates jobs and it will keep doing so until all human wants and needs are satisfied (i.e. never). While automation of manual farm work in the 19th/20th century eliminated farming jobs - which accounted for a huge majority of jobs; it didn't eliminate jobs.

The main thrust of this argument isn't even This Time It's Different, because reasons, it's just "pay no attention to the history of automation".

Why would David Ignatius lie about this? Because the popular anger about trade deals isn't misplaced at all. It's absolutely accurate. That is what is driving job losses, income losses and poverty - not technology.

The rhetoric from 'elite' economists about the robotjobpocaplyse is simply an instance of the 1% trying to dodge pitchforks.

It's actually surprising how little you can live on given small lifestyle changes. I haven't gone down to 10k/year but my expenses each year range from 14-17k. And that's on a salary about 7x that.

It's all about little things that add up.
If you go to Starbucks 5 days a week, that could easily cost you 1k a year. I mostly buy clothes at thrift stores, you can find furniture/kitchen appliances/etc on Craigslist. Instead of going out, buy a six pack and have some friends over. Another big killer is driving. I live in quite a bike unfriendly city so my car expenses are more that I would like them to be, but insurance + regular maintenance + unscheduled maintenance + car payment + gas really adds up.

Other random expenses do come up, so I budget for them. I make sure I have about $2k/year to spend on things I can't account for. Some years you go over, and some years you barely need to tap into it.

This isn't to say I don't spend money on things though. If I want something I will buy it, I'm just conscious about how much I'm spending.

Put half of it in a low fee index fund, and half in stocks you believe in. Those stocks are higher risk, but can have a much higher (or lower) return than the index, i.e. risk 20% of your capital for a potential 50% gain. You can add bonds to the mix if you want.

This was actually how BMW created ultra-hardened combustion chambers. It was discovered that urinating on the engine block hardened the metal:

http://www.autoevolution.com/news/turbocharged-engines-in-fo...

Some of you might wonder how did the engine block resist to such immense detonation inside the combustion chamber. This may not be the answer you were looking for – and most of you might not believe it – but it seems BMW was in fact using seasoned inline 4 cylinder blocks – picked up from several junkyards – for their F1 operations. The interesting part about it was that the blocks were kept out in the cold and urinated upon in order to strengthen their composition.

No, but at the moment there are many such jobs. Maid, cook, child care, a significant amount of construction labor, etc.

I blogged about this a while back. Until robots do all the jobs that are actually done in India (e.g. robot cooks, robot maids, robot cigarette walas), there still exist jobs people can do. Americans just refuse to do them, since it's easier to not work.

https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/robots_didnt_take_ou...

That may happen one day, but at the moment we have a scarcity of labor rather than a surplus.
Your phrase:

> largely ignored and we're doing just fine without it

is a pretty good description of how it's going here. Let be be a bit more specific. We used to build lots of SOAP services, and maintaining the schemas that clearly specified the interface was a real effort. When we moved to APIs that used JSON, at first we did little in the way of documentation - and as usual, doing no documentation worked fine at first.

After the JSON API use grew to on the order of 300 developers in teams across the country "no documentation" didn't scale so well. Instead, we've been using swagger specifications to document our APIs. First of all, the swagger specification is far less detailed and precise than the XML schema were. Secondly, my observation (not carefully measured) is that only about 80-90% of the swagger specifications are even accurate. And no one cares. Apparently the level that works for us is just slightly above "no documentation" but well below "clear and accurate specifications".

And I'm (mostly) OK with that.
A few things to consider about robots:

* They require high tech manufacturing to maintain

* They require a power source (electrical, hydraulic, etc)

Humans while not maintenance free... or power source free (food is a powersource) don't require a ton of technology to get working. While the quality is probably not as good as a robot due to an inability to be perfectly consistent it can be good enough.

It reminds me of the output of Dutch public broadcaster VPRO during the 90s and 00s. Looking back at fragments of series like Purno de Purno and Rembo en Rembo, it's remarkable how this was allowed to air. A state-funded Sunday morning programme full of references to sex [1] and other stuff people would find morally questionable to show to kids nowadays.
But I don't remember it being bad for me as a kid, I thought it was fun: the naked bodies made me laugh. I didn't reenact the bad behaviour shown, I knew it was just for show and exaggerated. I remember an interview with the makers some years ago, arguing that it's better to show sex as a fun thing and let you children ask about it instead of keeping it silent. And that's it better than having kids shows where violence is a big part of the entertainment.

The law requires that an individual specifically intend in making the transaction to conceal the source, ownership or control of the funds.

The everyday layperson doesn't understand technology as well as we'd like them to. A common analogy is comparing an IP address to a mailing address or phone number for computers. For most purposes, this analogy is good enough. When we start trying to pinpoint people for crimes, the analogy is no longer perfect.

This is based on the assumption that server without those optimizations is not fast enough. That used to be definitely true in the nineties, but hardware is getting faster while human reaction time stays relatively flat.
Hardware is also getting cheaper, so throwing a beefier server is a much easier and better solution than investing months of error prone and non-scalable human labor.

Everyone is ditching those beautiful and smart CS principles on FE by switching to hybrid apps, walking entire DOM on every update, etc.

There's no reason same wouldn't happen on backend.
In fact it already has - interpreted languages, GC, micro services.

Well, it's kind of a hint for solving some of the more "that's impossible" problems on here. I don't want to give the whole thing away.
In 1850, 60%+ of the American labour force were farmers and over the next 100 years their jobs were automated out of existence by range of more efficient 'robots'. This was no-doubt harmful for many specific farm labourers, but didn't 'screw over the economy'.

I hear that argument all the time, but I wonder if it takes into account the ever increasing pace of technological advancement.

Heka proved to be the weak link in our logging stack. We get far better performance from fluentd. We use a multi-tiered fluentd architecture. One tier accepts logs from Docker and (optionally) sends a container's log stream to a developer-managed custom fluentd parser. From here, logs are sent to a fluentd "sink" for storage in Elasticsearch. Using multiple tiers helps prevent overload and acts as a buffer if ES slows down temporarily.

> I fail to see how it's the employer screwing anyone over. Should automation be outlawed?

I would look to the automation in scheduling in the service sector over the last couple decades for a pretty clear example of employers screwing over labor. Sure, you can make a good argument, as you do, that it's probably more amoral than immoral and the inevitable result of a race condition among the competition. But it's hard not to read articles like these articles in the New York Times[0][1][2][3] and not feel like employees are getting screwed pretty hard and that it's only the plausible deniability that the appeal to market forces offers that allows executives in these organization and politicians in the communities where these people live not to see the pernicious effects of their policies.

I know some politicians have begun to take note and offer some sympathy and protections.[4] But I think that now that full automation is gaining more steam, finding that balanced and sustainable solution most of us would probably like to see is only going to get harder. In the meantime, we're seeing in this election very clearly how the some (many?) of the displaced have decided to articulate their solution to the problem.

Just because you don't understand modern physics does not make it useless. Do you understand how nuclear magnetic resonance works? It's a good thing your MRI machine will still work regardless of your understanding. Do you think most people have any idea how transistors store a state value? These examples, along with countless other discoveries made by physicists, should make it pretty clear that your understanding of physics (and mathematics) in no way affects its usefulness or value.

The reason for pursuing physics is not to bestow new information on the general population, that's a completely different area called physics education.
