> Capitalism has an easy solution. Labour shortage = raise wages.

Which will move the price of the agricultural products to uncompetitive levels, and the agricultural production will move to Mexico. So to the extent that it turns out the determinative input in the cost of fruits and vegetables is labor, the wages can flow to Mexican workers in Mexico or Mexican workers in the United States, and similarly profits can flow to the owners of land and capital in the United States or those in Mexico.
I agree. Signals have process scope, so they are a bad idea in general (they counter composability), no matter what's the delivery mechanism. Signal FDs don't help here vs EINTR.

> I heard a crazy stat that 99% of Oracle's business ($36B revenue, $9B profit) comes from the top 0.01% of customers (basically the US Govt and the Fortune 10). The average OSS start up is not going to materially affect this.

That's almost certainly not true, given my experience with Oracle's business. I think it's fine to say that 90% of Oracle's business comes from the Global 1000, but I know what some F500 bills from Oracle were, and they were in the $100m-$200m/year range, so you need a much broader spread to get to 36b
For mobile game development, I started with Unity. The video tutorials on their website are free and helpful to get at least a basic understanding of game development.

Then I tried out Unreal. I found that the concepts I learned in Unity carried over to Unreal.

I'm not a pro at either, but I did release a couple small games in Unity. I would start by at least watching the videos on Unity's website.
You can rent a place in the nicest parts of Tokyo for the price of a shithole in Manhattan. Under 2000 US dollars will get you a pretty decent place. Tokyo may be expensive on a Japanese salary, but it is not expensive compared to major US and European cities.
I suggest SFBA since you are young and without a family. You will have plenty of options from being a founder to an early stage employee at a startup to joining a pre-IPO unicorn to being a cog in the wheel at AppFaceGooSoftFlix. All of them can be great for you depending on how hard you work and how frugally you live.

And yeah, the area is expensive but you can also make a lot of money. So your net savings should still be more than many other places (esp. if you are not working at an early stage startup).

This is another iteration of the usual debate over what is right (or legal) and what is realistic. For example: you should be able to walk through any area anywhere at any time and feel safe; as a practical matter, some areas at some times may lead to violence.

irishcoffee is taking the "don't walk there at that time, everybody knows that" position, and you're taking the "everyone should be able to walk there at any time" position. You're both right, and yet these two positions never ever get reconciled in a productive manner.
Disclaimer: Hugely unscientific personal anecdote incoming.

I worked on a farm in CA as a seasonal worker and I, along with a number of my fellow laborers, were paid below CA minimum wage, and I was actually authorized to work in the US. I don't know how widespread this is but I got the impression it wasn't exactly rare.

From comparing experiences with one of my closest friends who is the son of Mexican migrant farm workers in the Central Valley, we have concluded that some farm operators specifically seek out illegal workers, not so much because the hourly wage differential is so great, but because of added savings like insurance and not having to deal with OSHA violations. Farm work an be pretty injury inducing and having a group of workers who are too scared/desperate to report worker safety violations to OSHA can be a big benefit.

For the sake of not generalizing too much, I also know someone who runs a small farm and takes things like paying legal wages and overall worker safety and well being extremely seriously. And again, this is all anecdotal.

Does the progressivism of decades past need to be measured against the standards of today? I'm not being facetious, I'm asking genuinely because I've never really had the thought before but it seems like that's exactly you're suggesting here. It would seem to me that the progressive progress that we enjoy and push forward today stands on the shoulders of those progressives who came before us, even when their actions would be abhorrent to most people today.

While your story is plenty valid, I think you can see how this would equally apply to someone making $50k that wants to make $130k solely for the improved quality of life.

My favorite too, and also my first encounter with his writings. Read it back in the eighties as it was one of the writings discussed in "The Mind's I". It was exactly the type of initial clarification I needed to read at the time and definitely shaped my understanding on what the term "God" might point to at a time when all the other options seemed petty and infantile to a curious and perplexed teenager.

Wow. Sad to hear about his passing. He set the initial path for much of my subsequent interests.
Or that he continues to claim that his PRISM reporting was correct, despite lacking any evidence to support his claims and having seen irrefutable evidence to the contrary.

One thing I really want to know is what data can apps access. Is it like most phone apps where my data in one app is secure if some random game would like to read it?

Do the apps or the users manage security choices like these?

They want the ease of use and security of a phone OS and app store, but they also don't want the data stuck in separate silos. I'm not sure if the idea is to have isolation between apps like iOS has or what.

My confusion was why the compiler didn't catch this, it is suppose to spot this sort of thing right?

Now that I think about it, maybe it has to do with `unsafe` block so the compiler doesn't check it.

Food isn't cheap. I recommend going to a super market like Bonus and by skyr, pastries (ideally kleinur), bananas and maybe some dried fish and just eat that for most meals. However, there are some well priced places. Cafe Haiti which has great lamb soup or C is for Cookie come to mind. Even Dill which has world class prix fixe is well priced for what it is. Interesting enough I've found most fish restaurants to be overpriced.

I don't mean to sound cheeky, and you make some good points, but perhaps US consumers would react to higher prices by not throwing away huge portions of produce. I've seen figures that the US throws away ~50% of our produce.

> They don't have as much of an incentive to invade your privacy as your home ISP does

The have a much better opportunity of correlating traffic than anyone else. It's not separated by an IP anymore. They've got a specific account they can connect to a specific person. (via billing) I believe if they wanted to sell the traffic logs, they'd easily find customers.

Also there have been companies like Hola (https://torrentfreak.com/hola-vpn-sells-users-bandwidth-1505...) that do outright evil things just because you run their software. Facebook bought Onavo VPN which gave them more traffic visibility.

There's also a few VPN services which will replace / inject ads into pages you visit without https.

So yeah - a lot of reasons to invade both your security and your privacy here.

My favorite Smullyan book is out of print: Forever Undecided: A Puzzle Guide to Gödel. Gödel's paradoxical theory hooked me in college, and after twenty years I still can't help but feel that it has a message for us---not in the word-play associations that some philosophers mistreat such things, but more in its implications for the human mind and artificial intelligence, along the lines that Roger Penrose explores. I've read Franzén's rejection of all attempts to "apply" Gödel's proof, and yet, I keep coming back to the idea that we can see our way "out" of these limited systems.

Anyway, Smullyan's book is a real treat. In the later chapters he even goes beyond Gödel. I've never completely figured out how much of that is Smullyan and how much is other published research.

And what is wrong with this?

Corporations always magically get very snippy when capitalism works against them.

In addition, California needs to shut down a lot of farming in the Central Valley due to the water shortage. We should not be growing crops in that area when we have to spend so much to actually irrigate it.

Or rather the economics of it simply: farmer sells 24 count carton to wholesaler at average $12. It can vary from $9-15/carton. How it gets marked up after the farmer sells it doesn't matter.

There are two kinds of wages: harvest/manual labour wages and machine wages. The former is around $12 and the latter around $15(includes payroll taxes).

> which is what everyone uses nowadays anyway rather than MySQL

Um. No.

Unless they're doing something quite eccentric with it, developers will target the standard MySQL api, and the application will then work with any of the MySQL/compatible database servers:

- Oracle MySQL Community Edition

- Oracle Standard/Enterprise Edition (i.e. paid versions)

- Percona Server for MySQL

- Percona XtraDB Cluster

- MariaDB

I tend to use/recommend Percona Server/Cluster (for dev/prod respectively) but as long as the MySQL-version is compatible (i.e. the fork has the SQL/engine features your application needs) it's likely that other factors (e.g. PXC has Galera replication built in, is completely open source, and has commercial support available if you want it) will be more of an influence to the decision on which to use.

"The Lady or the Tiger" is, quite literally, probably the single most influential book from my childhood. In 6th grade, my math teacher had a copy in his classroom. He noticed that I spent so much time before class, after class, (during class) reading it, that at the end of the school year he told me I could take it home so long as I promised to bring it back at the end of the summer. (He was also the 7th and 8th grade math teacher.)

I took that book home and treasured it for the whole summer, pouring over each puzzle, solving each one without peeking at the answers, then comparing my answers to the ones in the back of the book. By the end of the summer I think there were only 1 or 2 I hadn't been able to work out myself. Sure enough, as the first day of 7th grade rolled around, it was in my backpack and promptly returned to the shelf of my math teacher's classroom. Satisfied that I had gotten all I could from "The Lady or the Tiger", I next turned my attention to the Apple IIe he had sitting in the corner and a book entitled "Apple Basic".

The rest, as they say, is history.

One final note...as I continued through school and university, I gradually came to realize that Taoism was the school of philosophy that matched most closely to how I understood the world and is, in some sense, the closest thing I have to a "religion". It wasn't until much later in life (well after I turned 30), that I happened to stumble back across Smullyan and his writings, only to discover that he was also a rather adroit Taoist philosopher. (His "Is God a Taoist?" essay, http://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/godTao... is highly recommended.)

To this day I wonder if "The Lady or the Tiger" didn't have more of an impact on my early development than simply fostering a love of logic...
