Other people also work hard to help their kids. Many even work multiple jobs and gruelling hours. The point is, we have a system that doesn't reward hard work, but instead rewards rentiers, people who do no productive work (relatively speaking) and yet keep getting rich.
a Fedex hub in Memphis

BTW, that was the original FedEx hub. Back in the early 1980s (at least), every FedEx overnight package went through Memphis, even if shipper and destination were on the same coast as each other.
There is no formal quota on doctors but the number of residencies limits the number of doctors that can actually get licensed. I've seen it argued that this is intentionally restricted to limit the number of doctors entering the field.
So, I'm in my 30s right now. I own a home, have quite a bit of investments and valuables. My parents did not give me a dime (it has been the other way around, really).

Now, if i decided to give all of this to my hypothetical kids -right now-, potentially decades before I'm dead. They could grow up with it, invest it, make money, and be reasonably "rich" (not 1%, but better off than most) by the time they are in their 30s. And then they could give THAT right away to their kids, again, decades before they are dead.

Repeat the cycle. So my grand-grand-grand-etc childrens could be absurdly rich, technically thanks to me, but where do you draw the line between whats inheritance and what is not? I gave the money while I was alive (taxed and stuff, but still), they were the one who invested it and made that additional money through their own action (though it was super easy, it was still them clicking the buttons on their investment account's website, and according to taxes, they made it).

So how to you stop that from happening? I can't give money to my kids while I'm in my 30s?

Now ok, let say I can't give money. Instead I take my money and I spend it on private school, tutors, private college, etc. Even if living in a place where education is free, you can certainly have a lot of influence through money.

No matter how you spin it, somewhere down the road, this effect will compound. Starting from scratch in a videogame means you'll take longer to catch up than someone who's been playing the game for a while and twinked their subsequent characters. No way is it going to be different in a system as complicated as real life.

The hints are valid for any distribution. They usually rely on the kernel settings, not anything userland. So it doesn't really matter if you're looking at Arch, Ubuntu, or other guide. Even with specific services, the ideas usually hold between distributions - maybe you just need to correct a path or two.

File indexing services are things like locate, baloo, zeitgeist, etc. that try to save information about created files, so you can find them faster later on. On one hand side they give you faster results, but on the other they keep monitoring disk writes and impact your battery life.

I'm sorry, but you must be out of touch with reality.

Certain kinds of banking from a decent school? You mean an Ivy League or top school with acceptance rates lower than 20%?

The reality is, you must be exceptionally lucky to have the circumstances that get you into your so-called "decent" school that gets you into "certain kids of banking" that allow you to "easily" earn 1% income.

I actually do/did! I much prefer Safari for the iCloud Keychain syncing with the iPhone. (Apple actually stuffed thr keychain app up too recently where on the macs with touch bar keychain takes a few seconds to do a query). I have been a huge proponent of Safari but currently there is a real annoying bug where the URL/Search input won't register the "return/enter" key press for a URL or query. This happens once every 20 or so times and to get round it I need to close the window, reopen it and paste my query.

I've nuked the caches and removed extensions to no avail.

> Many publishers are entirely, or mostly ad supported. Their expectation is that when you read their content you also glance at the ads.

I'd say it's a false expectation. Businesses only succeed within the culture that supports them. If the culture doesn't value the business model then the business will fail or, as you say, it will adopt another model.

We live, I think, in an age of advertising pollution. If the culture of web users is intolerant of advertising then advertising supported businesses will fail. I don't see this as being either good or bad. The business model either works or it doesn't, and no business should expect their particular model to work.
I think this is probably the crux of why organizing isn't appealing for developers / tech workers.

There is huge disparity and in worker skill levels, productivity and salaries. Lots of mediocre developers on, say $60,000, but also lots of guys on $150,000 and up, with pretty different concerns (e.g., maybe the guy on $200,000 can live with a few late nights).

Pretty different from, say, auto workers or bus drivers where you have thousands of staff at the same skill and salary level, with the same interests and concerns.

I always try all these things as I am a junky like that but these things seem to have such limited use cases. Looking up and playing things on chromecast, for me, is faster using my phone than speech will ever be. So is controlling things in the house and with a phone I can open the catflap without waking my wife talking to Alexa. Switching on and off things is okish (phone or even a normal lightswitch are still faster and less hassle imho), but trying to look up what that great song from that obscure Norwegian black metal band was, of which the name is something Alexa does not parse and will take me 10 minutes to properly explain while it makes me sound like robot doing it; while via my phone I google it in seconds. I am really not convinced if this is not just gadgets because of gadgets. Or maybe I am just weird. Which is fine too.
While she's trying to claim that it's hypocritical of them to do so, she's really reaching... the two aren't the same at all.

IIRC, those using the @rnchq email addresses are supposed to do so, because it's illegal to be doing RNC party business with a .gov address. This isn't the same as what Hillary did, which was using her own personal mail server for Sec of State business. Huge difference.
> is there such a thing as neutral on this? you're either for or against net neutrality. the only neutral people are those people who are not involved/don't care.

You could say that about anything -- anyone who cares about something has an opinion on it.

What matters isn't a lack of interest, it's objectivity, which is what you apply to each side's argument to figure out who is wrong.

And notice that really all of the arguments against network neutrality take the form "if you don't let ISPs leverage their wire monopoly to monopolize over-the-top services too then they won't upgrade the wires."

And we know how to prevent that from happening. Keep network neutrality, and authorize a bond issue to fund municipal fiber in any location where the incumbent doesn't offer high speed service within a fixed amount of time.

That makes the truth or falsity of their argument irrelevant -- if it's false then they'll make the upgrades anyway, if it's true then we'll build municipal networks, and in either case the result is fast neutral networks.

Their way is to destroy over-the-top competition and then in many cases they still won't upgrade.
I wonder how many people in the top 1% appear as a one-time blip (eg. due to sale of real estate).
Nice, but the page takes my laptop's CPU from a quiet 2% to a whiny 100%.
It's a shame there's a fee. Isn't it cheaper not having people coming into the store and pushing carts/waiting in lines?
Agree, Nobody likes to see their government whoring out citizenship's (there's no other word for it!) but if they do they they should be be honest and sell the passport for cold hard cash to use in infrastructure or social projects, NOT for investing in real estate (which fucks up the local market) nor stock market investments where there is more chance of actually gaining money in the deal.
Or they'd simply spend more, which would increase economic activity. And one assumes their children will need to work harder without inheritance, so that work isn't going anywhere.

TBH, it was really just a rant based on recent statements I'd overheard.
Investing in your children so they will be successful feels like a net win for society in a way that simply giving them assets does not.
I would say it's not necessarily the processing, but genral lack of diversity of ingredients in mainstream food outlets and home diets. The mainstream notion of "meat and three veg" as a comprehensive meal means many don't do anything but that. Three meals a day as well, is antiquated advice. I imagine most people simply don't eat enough variety of good foods.

A fast food burger is not unhealthy just because it has bad ingredients in it, but because it lacks so much else.

Basically this program has NO budget so costs have spiraled "From 2008 to 2012, Lifeline spending grew from $821 million to over $2.1 billion, an increase of over 160%."

Sounds like a very successful program that many in need are benefiting from. I'm glad the USF I pay every month is being put to good use.
That's direct-contact transmission at very short range: "an acoustic energy emitting device is disposed on coupling medium which in turn is disposed against skin surface. The coupling medium may comprise carageenan, xanthum gum, alginic acid, silicon gel, or other acoustic impedance matching material that is suitable for long-term skin contact." With a viscous gel, as used for ultrasonic medical scanning, efficiency is much better than through air.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_rate_of_growth

> The word "Hindu" in the term was used by some early economists to imply that the Hindu outlook of fatalism and contentedness was responsible for the slow growth. The later economists attribute the rate to the Government of India's protectionist and interventionist policies (see Licence Raj), rather than to a specific religion or to the attitude of the adherents of a particular religion.

Yeah, I get that you don't mean to be offensive there.
The Brontë sisters published under male pen names because that was what was necessary to sell books. It was not a question of whether publishers were willing (they were, but required the sisters to accept the financial risk) but whether the public was willing to buy. It was very very common for female writers to publish under a male pen name at this time because that was what it took to sell. And while that may be sexist, it is not institutional sexism (as is implied), but public perception of gender.

Likewise, Darwin was boycotted by public perception of heresy.

In my mind, if anyone was victimized at all (can you be victimized by someone not choosing to pay you for your ideas?), both the Brontës and Darwin were equally* 'victimized' by the same force: an ignorant public. I think it is largely irrelevant whether it was because of gender or because of the perception of heresy, especially for a show called "Horrible Histories". But pandering to modern feminism sells more.

Arguably, the Brontës had it easier: they could publish as men and have the public be more open to their ideas. Darwin, in contrast, was being actively campaigned against* because of his ideas.
Is Uber testing Uber Plus in Los Angeles?
So there's a lie being told to the rest of us that life is supposed to be reasonably fair and that we're supposed to work toward keeping it that way. Keeping that lie while many people are intentionally trying to subvert the concept by having kids start life at different points is an unnecessary cruelty.

By all means hand them advantages, but don't then go and try to mingle them with the lower classes. Don't act like we're all in this together. Don't force my poor past self to listen to the girl sitting next to me in class talk to her friend about owning 7 houses.

If we're going to settle for feudalism can we at least just call it feudalism and set the bar at appropriate heights for each class? Why the hell do I need to be put up against your performance enhanced kid when it comes to success? Just have me toil in your lands where I compete against all the other serfs instead. If you're going to start people off in life ahead of me at least give me the courtesy of degrees of separation.

Pretending at equality while everyone is rigging the game is trying to have your cake and eat it too.
> "Literally referring to something by its given name" is like calling an API, not copying an API.

I don't think they're that separable. I could take a program that called Java APIs and, through a bytecode decompiler, reconstruct a header file for that API.

In fact, I've done this very thing through reverse engineering C code. I've produced header files that allow interoperability with proprietary code. In this case, the function names and parameter orderings were copied, but the type names, parameter names, and overall organization were my original creation. I never looked at the original header file. Is that copyright infringement?

Personally, I think any attempt to find hard and fast rules is going to fail, and the intent should be the most important criterion. (NB: this is not what I'm saying the law is, as I'm not a lawyer: rather, I think this is what the law should be.)

Hmm, honestly, I've been using adblockers since the early 00's. It started in the form of flash blockers, since there were tons of ads that were flash back then.

As humanity progressed, this included various ad networks and other human beneficiary systems. Today, it's all about blocking the anti-ad blockers. :-\

I've been amazed over the years tho how some friends and colleagues let this crap through. My wife, for instance, using Yahoo mail would stupefy me on how she could concentrate on writing emails when there are banner and tower ads animating and annoyingly blinking on the periphery of their ui.

As a software developer/creator, having shit all over the screen going apeshit with animations and visually assaulting assets, was just to much for me from the beginning.

One thing I would like is a specifically 'contractor' umbrella corp/union hybrid--you work for the corporation... but you VOTE on how much the CEO/Board can take home - and you pay dues/etc.. to be officially an employee on paper only -- so that the umbrella corp can collectively bargain for decent healthcare/dental/etc --and other benefits AND -- say you just started contracting 6 months ago...well you have to wait 2 years to get a mortgage.. if you're an employee that wait time is only 6 months.. and probably other benefits of being an 'employee'...

You could sync it up w/ your bank account so it'll have a paystub record that takes your contractor earnings and puts all that as payments..or something not sure on legalities or specifics but having just started working from as a self-employed contractor and my wife just getting laid off finding getting mortgages and healthcare is a PAIN IN THE ASS!
>To your first point, I'm not sure how this helps the sufferers. What they have shown is that there is a different neural signature correlating with a different emotional response. There's no causal link here, meaning that I might still tell someone to just shrug it off. Maybe they can control their neural activity, just like I can control my neural activity related to thinking about elephants by not thinking about elephants.

>To your second point, I would offer two responses. First, while being able to measure something is a win in itself, we need to be clear about what they're measuring. They have shown that suffering ailment X increases the probability that they find neural signature X. They do not know the reverse, meaning this isn't going to unlock early diagnostics or anything. It is unclear how discriminating this response is. Second, it's not clear that this is the product/effect of the way their "brain is wired". Perhaps changes in neural activity caused the observations of different neural connectivity. Perhaps some other factor of their experience or biology caused this sensitivity and the visible differences in connectivity, neural activity, etc. We just don't know.

That's a very good point, to expand, it appears the implicit conclusion at the intersection of biology and psychology that sufferers 'have a genetic predisposition to be upset' might possibly be taken as sufferers 'have an inherited right to be upset,' which is something I've been seeing more of in the world, and something that I am reading between the lines in the article--and even in the diagnoses itself, Misophonia.

We know no one is perfect, and most of us are far from it, but are we headed to a future where we are all walking baskets of 'scientifically-diagnosed' defects that we must tolerate (that we really don't fully understand if we're honest about it--the brain is still, for the most part, an unsolved mystery)? I think it's important to be respectfully tolerant of genetic defects, i.e. mistreating a deaf person would really upset me, because we know a deaf person cannot 'get over it;' but can we really know the same about the plethora of new neurological conditions such as this one? It's possible there might be something about scientific journalism that is selling itself for more than its worth here, but maybe that's not true, it just doesn't appear there is enough to know right now but I see that admission nowhere in these kind of articles.
Not quite sure why this was down voted. This was my initial take as well. I was thinking, where did this widespread DNA test happen amongst the 1%? I guess maybe clarifying the thought would not have the downvotes?
I don't know if I have misophonia but please tell me I'm not the only one who finds it incredibly annoying when people suck their teeth in public.
The track record shows that Amazon has been good at investing in their business. That's something that doesn't show up in accounting profits or cash flows, but over time in the growth of the business.

As for all these comments, sure there are companies that squandered vast sums in misguided attempts to invest in their business. And there are companies that admitted they had no idea how to invest in their business and sat on the cash. Neither of those examples are of any use in determining whether Amazon is investing wisely or foolishly.

Some analysts think that Amazon doesn't actually make money, others think they invest but invest poorly, others think they are brilliant geniuses who invest perfectly. Most of whom are at least a little bit wrong. Which goes to show that even the "experts" don't really know.
