If you think 'millions' of parents have that kind of wealth, you are sorely ill-informed of what the socio-economic state of the country is.

What irks me, like I said before, is that so much of this is attributed to 'individual decisions' and 'responsibility', and no doubt a non-zero amount of one's 'success' is determined by these things, but the political agenda I push is one of rationalism.

Consider this: Imagine a olympic athlete -- This person has been training since a very young age, has had private lessons and has competed all around the nation in top teams. Some would say this person is truly 1 in a million because of the talent they demonstrate, but I ask you, "how many people have the resources to even realize that kind of potential?"

The lessons, the travel, the time parents need to take to ship their kids to these things and competitions. The costs of coaching and training. These things are all very expensive in terms of raw money and time. To say that everyone has access to them, or even 'a lot' people have access to them is mistaken. The truth is, that only families with wealth have access to the kinds of resources that give a person the best chance at being a world class athlete.

This applies to nearly every aspect of life -- Whether it's a sport, or career, or an extracurricular in some other field, if your family has the resources to commit to your success (time, money, connections, 'i know a guy who...), then you are more likely to succeed there.

There is a comic here that explains the idea much better than I ever could:

Yes, it is possible. When you are offered $200K base at FB, Apple, google, etc, expect that your bonus and RSU gonna add another $200K a year on top of your base.

Experience is necessary for that base, but not sufficient though. Have you built a good product? Are you a top notch engineer? Can you pass a facebook/google type interview? If yes, you can demand. In the worst case, you can get a fat RSU package, and a fat sign on bonus, even if you are offered $170K base.
One problem is defining what "intruding on others' happiness too much" means - it's not obvious how to derive from this principle the hours when making loud noises within city limits is OK, or what about necrophilia in public, or pollution, etc. Almost anything I do might make someone very unhappy and I'm not sure what philosophical principle can be used to distinguish cases where I should stop doing it from cases where I should be able to reply "toughski shitski."

Another problem is whether it's OK to require a thirsty person in a desert to give up all their assets in exchange for water, and whether it's OK for the thirsty person to knock you out and take the water in response; most people would side with the thirsty guy for what I think are very good reasons in terms of the practical implications while objectivists would not.

This. More to the point, depending on your jurisdiction, you could lose benefits by not applying right away. In CA years ago, for example, you lost 25% for each quarter after the job loss -- take a year off and it was all gone.
Even if it's the page's fault, you still lose your text. At that point, you don't really care who to get angry at, do you? Which is why I always disable backspace for back navigation.
Good catch. Is that always the case, or just for the example you analysed?
For a city bike, you could get a chain drive fixie which barely wears at all and only requires some oil every few months, can be repaired easily and is very cheap. Belts last about as long or less as a fixie chain drive with regular oiling.

Belt with two internal gears lasts much longer than a mountain bike 18 speed chain drive, but then you're comparing apples and oranges.

This is a bike designed for the Apple user, basically, except that it seems inexpensive, which is nice. If you never want to think about how a bike works, this seems fine. But my original point was to learn how to maintain a bike.
As someone who spends a lot of money on ads for aBigCo. globally, I can tell you GDN ads and Twitter prospecting ads are quite terrible.

Facebook has a tremendous amount of data about users, but for a B2B campaign, its quite terrible and worthless. Be sure you completely disable all mobile app "networks" placementd (esp facebook - audience network ) --unless you're doing managed placements -- I've seen tens of thousands burned with these networks, which show ads in worthless apps, designed to generate fraudulent clicks.

That said, retargeting across these networks (esp Facebook) can drive responses, although I can't say we've seen anything turn into a big opportunity later in the funnel (big/complex sales cycles)...retargeting requires traffic, so I'm constantly trying to pull in a variety of 3rd party/behavioural data to improve front end traffic, to get the right people to pages.

The ad model is unsustainable, I want BigCo to switch (they have the resources), but it's not easy for a global company.
Five years of sustained effort is far from easy...

You could create mobile apps, informational web sites that generate Google traffic, niche SaaS services, a YouTube channel in a popular topic, sell physical goods on Amazon, open an Etsy store.

Ideas are the easy part, especially if you already have an expertise in some area. The hard part is the five years of building.

Inequality causes society as a whole to increasingly serve the rich at the expense of the poor.

In fact, 'investment capital', unless properly allocated, is indistinguishable from frivolous spending.

If you buy a super-yacht; those hundreds of engineers and technicians who built it for you could instead have spent their time building airplanes for 'regular' people (and made international travel cheaper for everyone).

In the same way, if you invest in a crappy startup (which makes a product that nobody needs), you are taking hundreds of engineers away from building something useful and making them work on something useless.

At first glance, this doesn't seem too bad - After all, if you make a bad investment, the system will punish you by not giving you any ROI, right? So you'd lose your money and will cease to be a nuisance to society.

In reality, however; because of social factors and economies of scale (lots of money in relatively few hands), it's actually possible (and extremely common) for people to make terrible investments and still get a return on it. If you have enough people in the system who know how to talk the talk and are good at manipulating others, then eventually, the waste builds up and becomes a significant burden on all of society (especially the poor).

Soon enough, everyone in the world will be working on some useless trendy start-up to cater to the whims of a few wealthy investors - Nobody will be able to afford to work on a revolutionary HIV vaccine, world-changing education software or automated farming machines.
I wonder if there are stats on how many hours per year students at public schools spend lining up or waiting in line. Can we measure the impacts of 'disobedience' - what is the penalty at various levels of school for refusing to line up (maybe this is less of thing in the US than in UK-style schools)? You could also study the value of repeating back the exact words of the teacher and correlate that with grade performance or good behavior ratings. It may be immoral to do these experiments, but there should be some way to measure the amount of time on control vs learning happening in public schools.

There are many valid reasons to homeschool - wanting a first rate academic education, having children think for themselves, removing them from artificially controlling and overly magnified peer pressure, to better match learning rates and styles, avoid negative expectations of your cultural demographic, solve bullying or drug problems that cant be resolved through other means, focusing on a musical instrument or elite sport etc.

I'm not sure how best to address the converse problem - homeschool parents who _do_ seek to indoctrinate their children without giving them a wider view of societal norms. But I think its possible that parents can do that anyway, even if children _are_ attending school. I guess all parents [ and teachers ] do this to an extent, imparting a few bad memes along with the good ones is unavoidable in practice.. but hopefully averaged out by meeting other people. Maybe thats why things like travel and reading fiction and going to a distant university are so valuable - you get to compare your memeset with other peoples.
So if the journals must be made available instantly isn't the business model gone? Why would anyone have to subscribe anymore?

As I understand it, the 'trickle' comes in the form of, for example, cheaper food. Which, as a percentage of income, is something that we can see has actually happened. The remainder can be used to capture a portion of the wealth.

The problem comes in actually using that money to capture wealth instead of increasing your expenses elsewhere. The latter of which is very easy to do.
The details and numbers which are revealed in this podcast are really eye opening. highly recommended.

I've become so reliant on Vimium that more than once, when I'm working with someone to do something in their Chrome, I've asked "Can I install this extension really quick? It's driving me nuts having to do things with a mouse." So far people have been nice about it. :)

I've known about Vimperator and Pentadactyl since the research I did that led to me starting to use Vimium, but since FF isn't my primary browser I've never tried either. Very interesting to see my sister commenters saying that Vimium doesn't even come close to their functionality. I might have to check Vimperator out.

One nitpick about Vimium - I don't like that "f" is included in the default possible characters for link hints, given that "f" is the shortcut to display hints. I always have to go to the settings and take it out, so I know that I can always hit "f" again (instead of Esc) to remove the hints without fear of accidentally leaving the page if I decide I don't want navigate away yet.

But at least the option is there! For which I am thankful.
Did the article change its title, or did you strongly editorialize your submission? Sound very click-baity.

To your first point, making someone unhappy isn't unethical. Making loud noise pretty much at all, is infringing on people's freedom. No one will bicker if you can't avoid the sound like starting a car, but if you play a loud TV it's unethical. Necrophilia is totally fine by this ethical standard, as it disgusting you is not infringing on your freedom (to say sleep, as the noise example). Pollution is a tough one, but trying to minimize it would be more ethical as it infringes on less people, etc.

To your other problem, I fully understand the practical implications. Knocking the guy out and stealing his water is pretty unethical. However, coming to equitable terms is fairly easy. More humans can think one step ahead and just gouging the guy for all his posetions means he won't help you in the future. Long term, that is bad for you, thus you'll likely not charge too outrageous
Really, you call this "reasonable SIMD" access: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.numerics(v=v...? For comparison get a load of Apple Accelerate: https://developer.apple.com/reference/accelerate. Now that's "reasonable" SIMD access, and extremely heavily optimized on both macOS and iOS for both speed and power efficiency. Similar capabilities are just one command line incantation away in Linux. And if that's not enough, you get real, actual assembly, not some "IL assembly" where you have no control over what it will emit when converted to machine code.

Here's another constraint you may have failed to consider: my code doesn't just run on Windows. I compile the same C++ code across all supported platforms with fairly minimal #ifdefs to adjust to platforms and SIMD ISA. Windows is the only platform that fights me every step of the way. Linux is great. macOS is great. iOS and Android are great. Goddamned bare metal is great (cross-compiling on Linux). UWP is awful and hostile.
You sound like a person I really would not want to work with.
I wonder why such attitude always comes from serbs and bulgarians but if anything the way you present your opinions is toxic.

Also not all are 200K. But like OP says, if you have a $140K job and not having to work your ass off like the $200K jobs expect you to, then you can make the extra $60K in a well thought out and executed side-project.

Since you are an independent contractor you have more flexibility and can move on to something else that you like very quickly, since you are picking your clients. Once you take a regular salary job you may like it for awhile, but eventually being your own boss will creep back up and you will also see that your earning potential in the short and long term will deteriorate faster which does not happen as fast as a contractor since you can increase your rates to keep up with inflation, rise in taxes, bills, etc as you see fit. If you want to work remotely define this in your next contract. As an employee you do not have much negotiating power and do not set the terms, as an independent contractor you have more negotiation power. Also, remember that in a salaried job you may not get a bonus or a raise, normally raises are a low 3% which is gobbled up by taxes which takes you down near 1.5% raise. You also do not have the capability to work overtime and be guaranteed to get paid for every hour you work.

I recommend sitting down and doing more number crunching and compare the benefits you have as an independent contractor versus a salaried employee. As an independent contractor you should be adding the costs of your profit margins, dental, health, car insurance, investments, emergency savings, vision, vacations, training, certification, continuing education, hardware, software, sick pay, etc into your hourly rate and projected costs in your proposals.

Just running some rough numbers ($70 x 40) x 52 = $145,000 - 30% = $101,920, which is not much for software development especially in a major city (your underpaid). I would recommend charging more and finding a better client. Normally you should be able to get $140/hour which would be ($140 x 40) x 52 = $291,200 or $24,266.67/month before taxes. If taxes is 30% then you have around $203,840.00 a year or $16,986.67/month which is a comfortable rate for a good software engineer that is a contractor (Their own business). You may have to adjust that rate if you are still starting out but it should not go under $100 an hour ($208,000 - 30% = $145,000 or $12,133.34/month).

Companies know going in that a contractor will cost more because they are their own business, they are counting on it since you should be more experienced or specialized than someone they hire as an employee. The worst thing you can do is underbid/under value yourself and the quality you provide. If you do not like the client find a higher quality one, normally the really good clients will pay more and keep you on contract longer due to the quality you provide and capabilities that are not available from an employee. You also have the wonderful opportunity to have multiple clients at one time if you choose.

It sounds like you are reading to deeply into things that have simpler explanations. Which is the point of the article, sometimes there is no real explanation other than it just happened that way.

I guess I'd prefer to see this in wages and similar. Rather than increasing wages with respect to inflation, they've stagnated, and profits for companies, shareholders, and owners are much higher.

> The problem comes in actually using that money to capture wealth instead of increasing your expenses elsewhere. The latter of which is very easy to do.

Absolutely. I think this is where the idea of trickle down economics fails. It assumes that mo' money mo' expenses. I guess there's only so much you can buy with 80 Billion before that assumption breaks down.
