This isn't like a reprimand or anything, just to point out that this problem cuts both ways. Having been entangled with the mental health system for 20 years, I say the lion's share of attention and advice, from everywhere and everybody, comes from the chemical imbalance / illness / disorder perspective. And this really, really does leave those of us who don't respond to drugs and are fundamentally unhappy with our lives very frustrated and without anywhere to turn. Yeah, therapy's a thing, but it's commonly perfunctory and treated as secondary. Treating depression like it's just one thing can harm sufferers on both "sides".

Can you point us to an article showing how to implement this for a web app communicating with an API? Lacking crypto expertise and documentation, the average programmer is going to use something like Auth0, and if his users' recipes or jogging history is compromised, so be it.

That "prudent reserve" argument is really a red herring the WMF loves to employ, because as long as you find ways to inflate your annual spending you can justify any reserve amount as "necessary".

And that's exactly what's happened. Today WMF spend twenty times what they used to spend ten years ago, when Wikipedia was already a top-10 website.

So naturally, the reserve they say is necessary today ($100 million) is twenty times the reserve they said was necessary ten years ago ($5 million). If that pattern continues, then in another ten years they will say that they need a reserve of $2 billion. Twenty years from now it will be $40 billion. You get my drift.

I wouldn't mind if readers and contributors saw palpable value from that spending, but is Wikipedia's software really 20 times more useful for the reader and contributor than it was ten years ago? I don't think so.

> McDonald's response to $15 is automation.

Good, we should work to automate more low level work. In fact, all of it if possible. Our response to lower work availability will probably either be revolution or a better social safety net. But then again, the world of snowcrash is possible.

> Increasing labor cost makes capital expenditure on automation more attractive.

Tax automation. If it does the job of a human, tax it, like a normal human working. That's just one solution of many for the automation 'problem'. Of course, another option is to eliminate the minimum wage so that we never automate another thing, and there are a massive plethora of other responses to the problem, but mostly I'm just trying to avoid a false dichotomy logical fallacy while pointing out the two most extreme solutions.

> Increasing minimum wage helps the people that keep a job, but hurts the people that can no longer find a job (especially high school, less educated, etc.)

I have a feeling that this is going to become more true no matter the situation. Similar to how some energy companies have been coming out and arguing that no matter how much money we throw at oil, renewables are the future. The economy is changing, we are nearing a point where there are massive numbers of people that simply aren't needed to keep the modern economy running. The first time I really started following/believing (lacking a better term) this idea was when I read "Labour Markets: On Bullshit Jobs"[1].

If an economy makes enough for everyone, regardless of their ability to participate, perhaps we need to reconsider how the wealth is distributed a bit, especially if we have a falling population.

> Just like mandated health insurance has pushed down working hour limits, so many workers have to have two half-jobs instead of one full-time job.

Perhaps then we should reduce the number of hours in a full time job. Instead, we are currently going the opposite direction, with regulations moving towards no time and a half overtime pay.

The shorter we make the hours, the more people hired, the more automated. Really, the problem is not with automation/high minimum wage/etc. The problem is with the response. Perhaps of assuming that companies are in the right with not hiring people and automating, thus protecting their massive profits that they have right now, we should be assuming that their massive profits are on the wrong side of history, and we should do something about that instead.

I think the greater irony is that the Fountain of Youth was sought by people who weren't going to actually live to what we would call today "old age" anyway. I'm not actually looking for it by the way, but if somebody else finds it, I would like to get in on that action.
I took Sanskrit as an undergrad at Princeton as an alternative to Latin. It was hard to absorb all the declensions, to be honest, and still connect to the text. The assumption is that you were eventually going to read Bhagava Gita or some other religious text.

Also, the Sanskrit course got very political, for reasons I could not relate to at all, involving the history of India. The textbook remains on my bookshelf, gathering dust.
> And it is necessary for membership in the Israelite Nation, according to the Bible. Which means it will have huge ramifications for the person in terms of marriage, children and their whole life.

According to the Torah you should be stoned to death for merely breaking the Sabbath, and a murder victim's family members should be permitted to kill the murderer - and yet Judaism has modernised, recognising these acts as barbaric. Maybe Judaism needs to modernise a bit more, and allow children to grow up and make their own choices regarding the mutilation of their bodies.

Should people with religious beliefs really be able to mutilate their children in the name of their beliefs, however 'benign' that mutiliation is seen to be?

I don't see the problem with allowing children to grow into adulthood, decide for themselves what, if any, religion they want to follow - and make their own choice about how, if at all, to mutilate their bodies?

I understand that there are hundreds of years of tradition involved, but you could say the same about plenty of practices that are frowned upon or outlawed, so I don't think that argument stands up on its own.
>1. Massive monopolies which essentially control 95% of all tech (google, facebook, amazon, microsoft, apple, etc)

>3. An internet where there's only enough room for a handfull of players in each market globally i.e. if you have a "project-management app" there will not be a successfull one for each country much less hundreds for each country.

I'm not sure either of these have anything to do with any particular policies, rather than just the nature of all maturing industries. Consolidation is always the tendency as an industry matures. Some policies try to slow or mitigate it, for example as Federal restrictions on radio station ownership did until the Telecom Act of 1996 ended that [1]. But the natural endstate of any complex system is increasing concentration of critical resources of the system into fewer hands.

4. Huge barriers of entry for any new player into many of the markets (no one can even begin competing with google search for less than 20 million).

What exactly are the barriers to entry for search? Unlike social networks where reconstructing a social graph comparable to Facebook's is a major barrier to entry, what's to keep consumer eyeballs from just using another search engine as their default? Not much network effect there, seems habit and laziness are the only real barriers, but as far as barriers go those are the easiest for a competitor to break through. For example, I use DuckDuckGo for mine, and it's fine in all but a few edge cases.

One thing I don't see addressed here is the biggest "Why Not Elm": you have to learn Elm. Elm is a beautiful language and in the last year or two the ecosystem has gotten much better. However I don't think I'll ever make progress adopting it at my day job. For all of it's flaws JavaScript is still quick, scrappy, and easy to pick up. Convincing a curmudgeonly back-end developer that React and webpack will make his life easier is hard enough. Convincing him to learn a seemingly esoteric functional language too is basically a non-starter.

It works in the vast majority of cases. In the rare other cases, you should spend some extra thought on your pointer usage to make sure you have a set of abstractions that let a human reason about the memory sensibly (either that or an insane number of test cases to catch any problem). Someone else mentioned reference counting, and that can be a good idea.

The bottom line is you need to do something to make sure you're not doing use-after-free, and it's mostly not difficult.

It is true that this is a fraction of total energy use, but this lays the groundwork for reaching clean energy for transportation, specially if Iceland follows on Norway's trend for electric vehicle usage (29% market share for 2016, Iceland's on 4.6%).

YouTube creators are highly undervalued.

Many of them are highly influential amongst their viewers and have more views than your average mid-tier TV show. Youtube also offers much better insight in the audience than TV channels ever can achieve.

And yet, the content creators need to rely on Patreon and selling merchandise to pay for their expenses.

I'm not saying all of them are struggling, in some niches (for example cosmetics) YouTube creators are known to make a pretty hefty buck in sponsorship deals, but the majority is highly undervalued.

Alejandro Salomon recently talked about this in his podcast [1], since this phenomenon is especially true in the automotive sector.

Perhaps but it also seems to be a test. IPFS allows the Turkish version of Wikipedia to be available even if there’s no access to the internet backbone.

That’s a game-changer for residents of repressive regimes; they just need a snapshot of the content they care about and distribute it via ad hoc networks and even sneaker net, making it nearly impossible for the government to stop.

The goal is diffused and spread out among ~8 billion people. Theorizing goals is fun, but it doesn't make it a goal anymore than Darwin made "survival" a goal for nature (or life, more narrowly); which isn't always true. (Some species self-sacrifice for reasons outside of self/individual preservation.)

There may be a prevailing ideology, I'll admit. In the west, and now most of the world, it seems to be material wealth, as measured in exchange tokens. In the future, in some places, maybe other forms of well-being will come to dominate, perhaps measured in stranger tokens.

Sometimes I go into a composition with an idea of what I want to do and the sound I want to create.

In short, unlike building a physical building music is fluid enough to react to the the chaos and randomness of creativity very elegantly.

> His research focused on urban Food Deserts and studied how the lack of access to healthy food nearby restricted diets to that available in convenience stores (chips, soda, etc).

I hear this often but always wonder which way the causation arrow flows.

Do "food deserts" cause unhealthy eating? Or do groups of consumers that prefer unhealthy eating create "food deserts" with their purchasing decisions?

Hm that is really interesting. I can definitely believe that effect.

I've bought groceries from the same few places for 7 years or more. It seems obvious that people buy food 90% of the time from the 5-10 places closest to them geographically. I live in a good area and they have good food.

But if my choices were all cheap soda and snacks like I see in other places, I imagine that would have a very concrete effect on my health. A few extra calories or a few more food adulterants every meal, every day, for 7 years or 20 years really adds up.

It seems extremely unlikely that there's no consequence of the food choices of your nearby grocery, so I'm glad that someone is measuring that effect.
It's not sexist to suggest increasing labor supply due to women's entry into the workforce might factor into decreased prices. (Though women were always in the workforce to a greater extent than many 1950s nostalgics want to admit, just in lower prestige and lower wage jobs). What would be sexist would be to suggest that the solution is to exclude women from the labor force in the future.
In reality, you don't get a choice about hosting your content on YouTube.

That alone isn't enough data to answer the question. I arbitrarily picked 1962 as a starting point, and while the number of employees since then has approximately tripled, the population of US citizens has approximately doubled, in addition to the gradual entry of women into the work force. Additionally, the page you linked shows number of employees, and does not account for the possibility of multiple jobs effectively replacing the work of one person because of job market saturation, and an associated depression of wages.
I have learned ELM and I have done React + Redux development, and I can say that I found learning and using former a lot easier than doing the latter. Probably because react redux were trying to make me learn a new concept over existing knowledge of JS was, while Elm was easier to pick up because I entered with a mindset of learning a new language.

For those who are new to any kind of development, learning Elm would be no more different/difficult than learning react redux.
