One way I might do that is, occasionally throw in a 'cooperate' independent of whatever other strategy I've got.

Doing that will tend to convert tit-for-tatters and might flip other strategies into cooperating. If you grade by the total number of cooperate moves in the group, the group wins by 'kindness' flipping a variety of strategies into cooperate mode. It'll tend to expand pockets of cooperation. No immediate personal benefit, but tends to make the environment better which may seem like a benefit.

I don't think 'survival of the fittest' has to mean 'kneecap all your opponents and rent-seek', but that's the popular interpretation in Western capitalism :)

These situations are not solvable by doing basic math, you miss the complexities of the situation. To pay employees better, he'd shift the cost of the salaries to the goods in question, and possibly provide new/different products to address market conditions. Additionally everywhere I've worked, and this is anecdotal but still, when you pay your employees better they don't loathe their jobs quite so much, which leads to better customer service. Some people do still shop for service.

If his response to rising operating costs is to not respond at all and continue charging the same prices for the same goods and not move at all in terms of addressing the problem, then he shouldn't be in business in the first place, he clearly has no idea how to run one.

The biggest problem in Finnish welfare is pensions[1]. They are too high for babyboomer generation. Basic income would allow creation of something similar to mini-jobs in Germany but still giving people a choice.

1: Yes. Pensions in Finland are welfare. Pension fund savings cover only tiny percentage of pension. Young working people are paying sums much bigger than basic income to old people.
Bollocks, I have a 16GB ram MBP from 2014, running a VM all the time and compiling on both the VM and the host OS. No problems there. The 32GB might be more comfortable for some, but I have hard time figuring out how something so exclusive has now become a necessity.

Yeah, I also have a mathematics degree and don't really get the fascination that computer people have with category theory. I have never been particularly impressed with their claims of applicability. It seems to just complicate things for very little benefit. It's a pretty abstraction, but I don't see actual results from it. People use ugly, practical things like git, not beautiful categorical abstractions like pijul.

This is fundamentally unemployment benefit paid to those out of work coupled with working tax credits paid to those in work.

Nothing new to see here at all other than the elimination of the ridiculous requirement to look for jobs that don't exist - because there aren't enough jobs.

Not enough jobs is still the issue, and nothing has been done to redress that. Nothing changes until the buyers market in labour is turned into a sellers market.

We're at like 2000 employees (probably 200 engineers) built primarily on Clojure. We've branched out to more and more languages as we've grown, but at our core we have multiple millions of lines of Clojure code.
I've never watched it either, but assumed there's someone called Grey, and it to be a pun on the text.
So the author rejects what is basically syntactic sugar around the Promises because it _looks_ _like_ imperative programming, even though it's 100% promises, and makes the code cleaner to read and easier to understand?

It reminds me when object oriented programming was the trend of the day, and people got crazy about it. Every bit of code just had to be OO, and people would rewrite everything, including operating systems and network stacks.
It was crazy because OO had become not a means to and end, but an end in itself.

Sometimes I feel like we are back at it again, but with functional programming.
I wrote some software in a language I didn't really know, didn't test it well enough, and when broke it completely disabled the service we were providing to the company's largest customer. Luckily it only crashed at 4AM every night, instead of during main use hours, but it was still no good.

If that's the intent, I think the effect will be opposite. The extensions they get will be the ones with the highest profit motive (ads, data collection, etc.) since they are the ones that can most easily overlook the $100 fee.
> I think it's a bit of all three, but also a lot because this current unhappiness is driven by developers, who had expected Apple to treat the MBP- much less the Mac Pro- with greater care and respect. 2014 saw the introduction of Swift, and developers were happy.

Developer happiness relative to these parts is probably the most right. There was a lot going on for Apple the last few years for developers, and they were happy. The Mac Pro refresh cycle is something that always confuses me, like why would we expect faster refreshes with the new trash can Pro than the cheese grater? The point of that machine is that it's expensive and needs to last a long time. Annual cycles don't support that model. Yes, that means it gets outdated faster, but it's not like Xcode or Final Cut or ProTools or Adobe anything stop supporting the Pro a year after it's released. I have a MacBook Pro for work that has a four year refresh cycle. It sucks to see new, shiny ones coming out that I won't be eligible to get for a few more years (excuse me - next year, it's 2017 now), but that's corporate life.

People stay in the Bay Area because of climate since you realise you can be outside nearly year-round. And in terms of well-being, if you spend more time outside, there's a good chance of being healthier and happier.
Probably around the natural wage floor that is artificially low due to government subsidies (food stamps, housing assistance, welfare, Medicaid, etc). The unsubsidised wage floor is likely around the cost of living (In California that number is or will be above 15 an hour by the time the law is in place). A minimum wage increase isn't a gift to workers as much as it is a demand that the taxpayer no longer subsidize these businesses.

Yep. Revocation is tricky with JWT, but it's not that bad.

The expectation should be reduce in database io, not getting rid of it entirely.

Overall you could issue tokens with short lifespan, say 5 minutes. And having the client refreshing tokens periodically. Reading database every 5 min is certainly an improvement over reading it on every API call.
You could also only check revocation table if the performed operation is security-critical or sensitive enough. I wouldn't care if the user is trying to perform a read-only operation on some public data with a revoked token that is going to expire in a few minutes anyway.

>3. No way to revoke all of one user's tokens because there is no list of those tokens

I don't see why one would not maintain such a list, since generally issuing a token requires database io anyway. Storing a token when issued is just one additional write op.
Most docs are available through Pacer. Pacer pricing is $0.10 per page capped at $3 per document. Buying everything would cost a lot. In addition, new case law is continuously being created. So you couldn't buy everything and be done with it.

Macbook air being destroyed
If you're an iOS/Mac developer, there's no alternative.

If you want an alternative for graphics work (or other development), try Windows.

For other web development, in general, you'll be able to work well with Linux.

Keeping work on different machines quickly starts to become unmanageable, that's why MacOS still leads. It gives the best of most options on the best hardware.

P.S. - I tried ElementaryOS last month, for couple of hours and didn't find it an alternative in any way. It's UI is quite clunky (of course, since they are trying to copy Macs UX, but don't have the finesse). The eye candy can't make it a Mac alternative in any way; it's still Ubuntu under the hood, and less intuitive than Ubuntu.

At the same time though companies that can afford to pay more do and what's more that money is far more likely to wind up in the local economy as poor people spend far more of their income than rich people (or companies for that matter).

Low wages only leads to a race to the bottom, greater inequality, and finally lower growth because the people most likely to spend money don't have any. And based on how most OECD economies have been doing since 2008 it looks like the low growth of the last decade will probably hang around for longer. Unless the inequality shifts this will be low growth like it was during several hundred years of the feudal system.

Classes Considered Harmful [pdf]
The largest concern is that it ends up being a form of theft from workers in real terms.

The income receiving individual gets paid twice in real terms - consumption of goods and services provided by others and consumption of their own labour hours.

Those producing the goods and services end up with more money, but less in the pool to buy with it. More money chasing less output is inflation.

We need a system that allows the exchange of labour hours for goods and services, not compulsory handouts.
Goddamn employees. The business loses so much money when we have to pay those employees! :/

Soon those 8$ ph employees in Nevada will get squeezed by automation or cheaper employees in some other state/country. And they'll be given the ultimatum, "work more for less or get the boot".

This is a common downwards pointing death spiral in many of the western countries. There's going to be a huge economical squeeze starting with the blue collar workers in the next +10 years. Will be hard to compete with a robot...

>dispose as necessary
I've seen this piece of advice float around quite a bit. I always find it really difficult to understand. If you suspect someone in one of your social groups is causing you a big problem, you can't just eliminate them, they are connected to other people you know too (this might be a family or a workplace).

Then the question turns into, shall I leave and find new social groups? This is such a high risk act.
> Sounds reasonable.

Not at all. Patenting something just means it's possible, not that it works well, or that it has no disadvantages which might make things worse, or that it's always reliable, or that there are no better alternatives. Just that it can be done.

The logical extension of this argument would be that every car sold in america, and every single product usable in a car, must have every single possible automotive-relevant safety feature they can even think of implemented in it regardless of cost.

After all, implementing such a feature in the phone would incur a cost, so if Apple can be compelled to include the feature then that argument should apply to every other company.
I would love to see on what basis. Basic income might or might not work but current economic models have no way of calculating that as they arent able to take externalities into account such as exponential growth of technological progress.
They're competing to provide the cheapest, legit "Made in America" label. There's a long way to the bottom of that.
we need reminding
"If you want to make more money, if you want to improve the quality of your life, then you can seek progressively higher paying work to do so."

That's a fallacy of composition. Not everybody can, because there aren't enough jobs to go around. So about 5% are always permanently in poverty.

Fundamentally you need to change the labour market from a buyers to a sellers market. Until you do that, nothing changes.
It's not fashionable to say, but what a beautiful example of the free market working. California has attracted high value businesses so it's worth more to operate there. They're pushing out the low value ones because they can afford to and their place can be taken by programmers or something. Nevada wants all it can get so it welcomes low value businesses like clothes manufacturing. If they move, everyone wins.

That applies to the workers too. If California is growing too rich around them, they might be under-skilled for the local job market and have to move to Nevada for work. Again, Nevada benefits from more labor.

The downside is that people whose skills lock them into insecure industries like this also sometimes put down roots where they live and suffer more when they have to move. But at least they can see it coming. Raising the minimum wage is bound to cost some people their jobs. If it didn't, that would mean employers can actually afford to pay even more and it should be raised further.

As someone who works for a Chicago based startup I think if you adjust those salaries for the cost of living they are very reasonable.

>Wealthy people need to understand that the parts of their revenue that correspond to taxes that subsidize their employment practices

The mistake you are making here is in thinking that the majority of people are employed by wealthy people. Tirades like yours make people believe this is just forcing billionaires to open up their wallets, but 99% of businesses are small businesses and they account for something like 49% of employment.

https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/FAQ_Sept_2012.pdf

So minimum wage increases tend to be more of an attack directly on the middle/lower class small business owners who are operating on thin margins.

>Maybe I didn't substantiate it, but only because I thought it was well known.

Don't pretend like you misunderstood the problem and use a faulty assumption to appeal to incredulity (still without providing evidence nonetheless!). The faulty assumption you built this demand argument on was that all of these businesses will easily absorb the wage increase and there will be no jobs lost. There will be no increase in demand and there may be a loss in demand if a huge chunk of small businesses layoff parts of their workforce or relocate.
Average wage is about €3,500 per month.

So you have 16% of the average wage.
I've tried this and not long after doing it, the cable started fraying at the end of the taped section (and this despite the fact that I took some time to make sure the tape was properly placed, and tapered towards the cable). This is besides having a separate charger for home and work, and never coiling the work cable (that goes in the bag) around the power adapter.

There really is something wrong with the stupid cable. It's unthinkable that any of my other non-apple cables would do this.

>Its going to suck when virtually every single restaurant and grocery store shuts it's doors in California as the supply side economists have predicted.

Yeah, just like this Rapture thing sucked, as this Harold Camping guy predicted (to speak of another prediction of equal validity).

Plus, strange how businesses have not massively moved out of other places where the same or much stricter minimal wage laws were enforced (or minimal wages raised). I wonder what the supply side economists of those places think about it.

If somebody seriously believes that, given these laws, "virtually every single restaurant and grocery store [will shut] it's doors in California", I don't know what to say.

Let's check back in 5 years to see how this "prophecy" fared related to the Rapture...

It's free money to idle layabouts - usually the middle class promoters of such a scheme.

And it is paid for by suppressing the income of those who work for a living.

Unsurprisingly they get upset at that and political agitate to stop the theft of their output. Which is why all income guarantee schemes fail.
It seems like an impossible challenge to tackle the downsides of automation and loss of low skilled jobs without basic income. I can't imagine how society is supposed to continue to function for the people displaced by large scale automation without something like basic income.
This is ridiculous. The guy should be happy. Thanks to higher wages, he will be able to raise his prices and offer better services. Instead, he wants to protect his benefits without evolving his business. No surprise California prefers to value high tech startups who try to pay their employees well.

> By the time minimum wage hits $15, he will be operating at a $200k loss. Are you implying that he is lying about that?

Now, that's a good question. Are companies lying when they fight against every law enacted to protect their employees? Are they mistaken? I think most likely: they don't care if what they're saying is true or not. Is that the same as lying? Well, I'll leave that to you to decide.

> Or would you rather the business fold entirely and all of them become unemployed including the owner?

Well, if the company you work for paid you 33% less, would you rather they folded immediately, so you could look for work elsewhere? Or would you rather that they went on paying you less so they could stay in business—succeeding as a company merely because they're unwilling to pay people what they should?
The "welfare queens" are operating in a competitive business environment where they have to compete to survive. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Obviously, we want to remove as much corporate welfare as possible, to allow the market to operate smoothly while still allowing for subsidies in well thought out places like clean energy or investing in new business sectors.
