Low minimum wage = not enough to survive on, so you're typically working multiple jobs, which is insane. A high minimum wage is one key element of a strategy to ensure that nobody has to do that.

Anyway, there's extremely little hard evidence of minimum wage raises leading to higher unemployment. Studies generally show no effect. There's no shortage of dubious anecdotes from people with a political ax to grind, though.
I never bought this "minimum wage increase destroyed us" story when it came out. The minimum wage increased from $11.05/hr to $12.25/hr. That's an increase of $1.20/hr.

They claim this will cost them an additional $30,000/year. Let's consider that. Assume that their employees are all current minimum wage employees (otherwise they would not be affected). Given that they're open for 8 hours/day (which works out to 56 hours/week), it would mean that their additional cost would be an additional $3500/employee; so an additional cost of $30000 means they have 9 employees working all the time. Anyone who has been to Borderlands (and I have been a few times) can see that they do not have 9 employees all the time. Max I've seen are about 4. It's a bookstore, not an oil change place!

In any case: whatever floats their boat. If sponsorships help them stay afloat, so be it. But they shouldn't blame the minuscule wage increase for their woes.

Yeah, my roommate said she processed returns that were obvious scams at the Walmart Service Desk but she still was still supposed to process them anyway. Guess they accepted the scams were a just a cost of offering a great return policy.

Interested to see any lit that confirms which mkt they are targeting? No clear message from the company, just some demos of 3D simulated objects. Could be applied to any vertical mkt/industry at this point from what I can tell.

My overall point is that the $8B valuation could be justified if they are targeting a large multi $B yearly revenue market.
I think the assumption is that the demand for coffee stays relatively similar, and so the coffee shops that have been displaced by rising costs will be replaced by Starbucks.

If that is the theory, total employment would stay the same.
The flipside is of course that they were doing so by paying their employees a terrible salary.

Another example is Brigatinib (AP26113) which I'm familiar with. It's only approved recently because ~1% patients may get a severe side effect.

Have I been on different airlines than these people who fight?

In my experience airline seat backs pivot at a point somewhere around knee height, so reclining a seat doesn't affect legroom at all. When the person in front of me reclines it tilts my laptop monitor a little but that's it.
But I don't have any more confidence in reviews than I have in the judgment and reputation of traditional book publishers.

All those curation arguments boil down to trademarks and branding. If you don't know enough to judge for yourself, you still have to know enough to judge whether the judge you delegate knows enough to judge for you.

Maybe you delegate to Alton Brown because he is on television and you like how he explains things. You're choosing to trust Alton Brown to only put his trademark on things that Alton Brown approves of. But why do you trust Alton Brown? You trust the Food Network to choose celebrity television personality trademarks, perhaps? But their goal is to entice you to buy trademark-branded things from Food Network and their advertisers. Their hosts are hired to make good television shows, not necessarily good demonstrations or recipes. They hired Guy Fieri, too, you know! Based strictly on screen time, he seems better at describing what he is eating than actually cooking anything.

If you don't know anything about cooking, you have to trust someone to tell you what to do. How do you know you can trust those reviewers? A lot of them are just food snobs parroting what they learned from previous generations of food snobs.

The key precept is that when you are the one doing the choosing, it's less likely that someone is picking you, as their mark, and forcing you into making an illusory choice that always benefits them, no matter what you pick.

The argument against curation is that the pool of potential curators is just as deep and variable in quality as the things they curate. So you need a curator for your curators--a reviewer for your reviewers. And then you need a meta-meta-curator to judge the quality of your meta-curators, and it's just tortoises all the way down. I'd prefer to do an objective analysis. Pick a set of recipes for the same dish, make all of them, have an accomplice label each with a letter--so you don't know which is which--and do a blind taste test. Rank the lettered portions according to your own preference, and then your accomplice will let you know which recipe you chose as the best. The same process can inform you as to what brand of tomatoes is best in your homemade pasta sauce, or whether unbroken-grain wild rice is really worth the price premium over the bits and pieces, or which tortillas are best for burrito night, or which beer brand is best for general drinking.

Trust the objective measurements. A little bit of science in your kitchen obviates all need for unearned reputation and trust in trademarks.

And that makes you a reliable curator for your friends and family, because your meta-curator is the unimpeachable wisdom of objective science!
>Why on earth would you NOT assume that institutionalized greed affects the results of medical science?

Because I studied medical science and research for many years, have family in the medical field, and write medical software for a living.

Or rather, I understand very clearly how greed and the capitalist motivation affects health care, as it's literally my life. But with a realistic understanding comes the end of emotional histrionics and petty exaggeration.

AKA: I'm basically informed on this subject, unlike most of the commenters here.

>Who is funding the science? What are their financial motives? Who conducts the research? What are their financial motives? Are incentives aligned to produce quality medical research with the patient's best interests in mind, or the bottom lines of medical companies (pharma, medtech, even hospitals, etc.)?

How many NME's does the FDA approve per year?

>I'm shocked and surprised at your shock and surprise. I don't think your arguments are irrational. I simply think they are naïve.

I'm not shocked or surprised at your response, it's a classic case of Dunning Kruger where you are so ignorant regarding medical science, the intense science based regulation of the FDA, and the business of creating drugs, biologics, devices etc, that you are inherently incapable of evaluating your or mine competency here. If you think I am naive, that is a real testament to the depth of your ignorance on this subject.

Back in university, we used this book to teach people the absolute and most basic fundamentals of this industry https://www.amazon.com/Drugs-Discovery-Approval-Rick-Ng/dp/0...

If you'd like me to answer your questions honestly, I'd be more than happy to take some time to source and answer your question from the perspective of someone who has studied this subject academically and participates in it professionally. But the book linked will discuss I believe every one of your ethical concerns.
I think you are assuming that I meant insane in the sense that this was not a conservative estimate. That's sort of what I said, but it's clear from context that I meant the opposite. This estimate seems far too conservative to even count as an estimate, more of a trivial lower bound.

What are these implementations? The one I immediately found by searching (https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc) is accompanied by an explicit nongoal to correctly implement the language. It also doesn't seem particularly independent from rustc, given the similarities in implementation strategy and the fact that some parts look like rustc code converted to C++.
I feel reasonably confident in predicting that WASM will have security holes and performance issues too. Computational demand always expands to fill the available performance.

Was there any point in the development of WASM where it made more sense to develop WASM to replace the JVM than it would have made to try fixing the problems with the JVM? Are we at that point now? It sounds like the last two problems fixed themselves.
I will admit that some of us may be inappropriately dismissive of the usefulness of regulators. However pointing to how long it takes and how much money is spent could just as well imply inefficiency as rigor.

You say that we don't need competing regulation agencies because this one is rigorously scientific. By what mechanism, would you say, does this singular institution maintain quality?
> only undergo surgery, go to the hospital, or take medicine in very serious cases where the harm of not doing something outweighs the potential complications

Is there anyone, in the world, advocating for getting surgery or taking medicine when the harm of not doing so is less than the potential complications? I'm pretty sure if a doctor did that it would be malpractice.

Despite parent's logical argument and evidence, and despite further evidence that Google doesn't really shut down Enterprise services at industry-irregular rates, market narrative has been defined (mostly by Readergate), and you are more inclined to accept said narrative?

The customer cares about good cheap coffee, and regionalized regulation like this ensures that local businesses can never compete.

I'm not against a minimum wage increase, but the country is watching places like SF and Seattle to see how a higher minimum wage plays out. The big players can always recoup loses in other markets, but the small businesses are unable to compete. Small businesses close, people lose jobs, and the wage hike is declared a failure. To me, if you really want to support a living wage, then don't support experiments that are doomed to fail.

Or they could just impose a 10% price hike on all of their products and services to cover the cost. The thing that becomes clear is that greatly raising the minimum wage mostly affects poor people and the lower middle class. It reduces their buying power. It also greatly devalues the $15/hr woman who went to trade school to be an EMT for several years.

EITC is a much better way to redistribute this wealth and it puts money in the people's pockets who need it most.

That is an interesting argument... Today we assume RSA is "Safe" because we can guess the maximum computational power of an attacker, and using a key size that makes cracking the key an unfavorable avenue for attack.

He's merely suggesting the same thing: use a really large key (terabit size), and since quantum computers are quite exotic, it will be an unfavorable avenue of attack.

I'm talking about the mean distance in expectations between a program and the compiled output. I don't think Modula-3 is much more complicated or even moderately more complicated. I think it's all pedantry of personal definitions at this point. What makes a language "simple" or even "the most simple" aren't even questions that are possible to answer objectively.
True, but that assumes people are 1) willing and 2) able to move.
> The top-rated answer is either defeatist, or just rationalization for the sentiment "I had to go through this and figure out everything myself, so you should too".

Yes, I agree this MO answer (and several others) seem to be rationalizing the situation rather than acknowledging how suboptimal it is.

I think I'm a good example of the system's failure. Coming in to college, I was something of an ideal candidate for becoming a mathematician. I had some success in Olympiads and already had decided I wanted to study math. My goal in life was to be a math professor.
I enrolled in a top college and took many graduate-level classes. However, by my senior year, when it was time for me to decide the next step in life, grad school or industry, I had become somewhat disenchanted with theoretical math. Math was so abstract I started losing interest: all this commutative algrebra (for example) I learned wasn't making me feel like I had any new insights into solving math problems, outside commutative algebra problem sets.

And so I went into industry.

However, I can't help but think that if I had more knowledge of the motivation behind all the abstract math, I wouldn't have lost interest. All that machinery of commutative algebra was invented for specific reasons, such as solving polynomial equations in the rationals through algebraic geometry. Years later, through casually reading math on the internet, I've been getting hints as to what power these highly abstract frameworks give you for solving concrete problems. But without seeing the end goal, and having some idea why I should be learning this in the first place, I felt like I was just getting lost in abstract nonsense.

>Most of that foundational information is lost when it's not written down somewhere accessible; contrary to the answerer, only a small fraction is reconstructed by students as they learn the subject.

This is exactly right. I personally failed to reconstruct enough to keep myself interested in the subject.

Charities can make "investments" too.

AFAIK the RPi foundation is completely straight in this respect, just worth mentioning the general position for UK Charities IMO.

> I suppose that Go programs exhibit more complex behavior at runtime due to the GC and green threads and stuff

Given the GP's note about the connection between written and compiled code and how a GC affects that, I think this is exactly what is being referred to. I.e. a GC makes everything much simpler up until it doesn't, and then it makes it much more complicated. That point may never be reached in many programs, but it may be hard in some cases to tell whether it's something you have to worry about at all.

None. FDA approval isn't required to manufacture, sell, or purchase drugs.

Or, perhaps they might find it cheaper to instead launch massive PR and discrediting campaigns, deny there is any issue, settle lawsuits to silence complaints from individuals who don't have money and time to legally fight a billion dollar business.

To add to that, old computers can still run old software just fine. Assuming it wasn't left somewhere moist and that you swap out the motherboard battery (which isn't really even necessary), a two decade old dell could just run windows 98 with office 95 or whatever it was back then just fine.
