you still have to run the cache from somewhere, and you probably want to be able to deploy during peak load times.

Not sure about the price, to me $75 for a decently beefy server seems low? Compared to the cheap stuff that most people use because most people are only at like 1 or 2 r/s.

Also serverless might sound silly but isn't it nice to not have to do ops works? Surely worth $200/month.

It's a terminal preference that's alien to me, certainly. No more "good" or "bad" than the terminal preference a salmon has to swim upstream, fertilize eggs and die; it is what it is.

Now, if the question is whether this really is his terminal preference, or whether he misunderstands his own deepest desires and might, under different conditions, have suffered a "mid-life crisis" realizing he hasn't satisfied his true goals after all... I can't really say. You'd have to ask him. Probably after getting him very drunk, because "has your life been a mistake" is not the type of thing you make small-talk about.

>Ah yes. They obviously think this is the best of all possible worlds.

I didn't say they think it's the best of all possible worlds. I said they think it's the best option available to them.

Making that particular relationship they've chosen to enter illegal, because you think it is not sufficiently lucrative for them, is not going to help them. The other options on the market are not going to improve by virtue of low pay options being made illegal.

Every price level, including wages, is driven by supply and demand. Impositions like the kind you're advocating cannot possibly provide more benefit than harm, because they do not shift the demand curve to the right through an increase in the aggregate demand for labour. Only increases in productivity can do that.

>If they were given the option to do something else -- say, work as high-paid software engineers -- they'd obviously choose not to, and continue driving, because they've rationally evaluated the plethora of fulfilling career options available to them and settled on driving for Uber as the one which brings them the greatest overall happiness.

This is an extreme strawman. I never said they wouldn't exploit a better option if one were available. I said the best option available is the one they took, and making it illegal is not going make better options appear.

>Or perhaps they live in an economic system structured to disadvantage large numbers of people and leave them without many

I don't see any evidence that the economic system is designed through a conspiracy to disadvantage them. Market institutions like private property rights have facilitated a massive increase in wages for the typical person over the last 400 years. What you're advocating will slow wage growth. In fact, like the link I provided shows, the type of occupational and business licensing you advocate for is a major cause of growing income disparity. It has exactly the opposite effect of what you intend.

>and they chose low-paying jobs (sorry, "independent contracting arrangements") with poor work conditions, thus making it entirely their fault and no-one else's.

You're not helping them by making that option unavailable to them. It's a misguided paternalistic mindset to think that you are.

By all means offer them the training so they can work as a highly paid software engineer (if you can), but don't take away their existing options out of a belief that you know better than them what's in their own best interest.

Coming from a slightly different angle but it may be of use, I wrote a chrome browser extension that automates logging into banks and other financial sites. It also scrapes the balances once logged in to provide a net worth total. It currently works on around 25 banks (mainly UK). You can also build your own logins and all passwords/private data are stored encrypted in the browser.

I wrote it as I just spend too much time digging out passwords all the time and the usual crowd like LastPass are a) stored online and b) fail to login automatically to complex input sequences like banks.
have you tried the Serverless Framework? For us it makes the dev experience a pleasant one.

No, they're just told to implement the technical means so that the user can decide what to do with their personal data. This probably means some kind of API but any bank is allowed to implement them in any way they like.

That's obviously and opportunity for Teller, Figo.io and other players, they can perform legit aggregation just swapping out their scraping for bona fide API access.

But the situation is more complex... even banks can become aggregators for other banks if their customers want... These are interesting times.

I grew up in the Midwest and my white middle class brothers spent some summers in strawberry fields picking and in corn fields detassling (not 110F, but mid 90's). There aren't many immigrants there so you'll find tons of lower-middle/lower class white Americans in those jobs.

Landscaping is mostly white, maids are mostly white, and construction work is mostly white. Becase most people there are white. Take a trip to the Midwest and see how the rest of the country lives.
Its not a perspective, if you say illegal immigration is good then why bother making labels like legal and illegal.

I assume™ that xz won't stay the only choice. I think it's important to understand that in deduplication, you'll pass all data through your hashes one to two times. Regarding buzhash, it can break with byte granularity, and it has a dependency chain that prohibits parallelization. You'll likely never see it go faster than 700-750 MB/s on a desktop CPU (~3.8 GHz Haswell) and it won't profit from non-clock improvements of CPUs. Giving up byte-granularity allows significant improvements in performance, but I don't think anyone comprehensively analysed the impact on deduplication performance. I didn't.

(OTOH if your storage is faster than ~200-300 MB/s (buzhash and a hash, naively combined) then there is likely no issue using higher degrees of I/O concurrency, so you can work around these problems).

We don't care about money. All I want to do is make better sushi. I do the same thing over and over, improving bit by bit. There is always a yearning to achieve more. trying to reach the top... but no one knows where the top is. Even at my age, after decades of work... I don't think I have achieved perfection. But I feel ecstatic all day... I love making sushi. I've never once hated this job. I fell in love with my work and gave my life to it. Even though I'm eighty five years old... I don't feel like retiring. That's how I feel.

And the drunk driving claim depends on the study. [1] Which suggests it requires further study. Not to decide whether it should be a talking point in favor of Uber but to understand why services like Uber decrease drunk driving if, in fact, they do.

Is it purely a price sensitivity thing? Is it a simplicity/convenience thing? Is it just because summoning an Uber became hip among a certain demographic whereas taxis weren't? It would be useful data because there are possibly useful public policy responses that could address why people drive drunk in some cases.

Offering something on the market, that other consenting adults voluntarily choose to buy, does not violate anyone's rights. Competitors do not have a right to dictate how consumers spend their money, so being out competed is not a violation of their rights.

I don't think that is a viable thing because I think it would produce adverse reactions. It'd work out just fine for myself, but not so much for others. If someone is getting paid to stay child-free, does a woman get dinged for being pregnant while the man denies responsibility? Do we have everyone's DNA on file and run the baby's dna for possible matches? Do abortions count as staying child-free or does that deduct from the bonus? Does the child-free money mean that folks with children are doing a lot worse than single folks or childless couples? After all, they are now trying to feed more people yet have less money to work from. How do you handle folks breeding for religious reasons?

I'd much rather go with increased sex and child-rearing education partnered with free access to birth control and health care. Free voluntary sterilisation beginning at around 25, possibly with a one-time monetary payout, depending on how many previous children one has and their age (lower amounts for being older). Nudge folks to have few or zero children.
It shouldn't be possible to avoid police investigation just by avoiding calls. UBER should give all the details to the police and then the police should do their job and call the driver and the next passenger. Where I live (Poland), not responding timely to the police/court calls/mails would get you into big trouble and in the best case would end up in a fee and in the worst case you could be brought to the hearing by force.

Professional CUDA C Programming by Cheng, Grossman and McKercher would be my recommendation. They show you how to do many optimization, motivating them using real-world examples like: matrix addition, reduction of n elements, and matrix transpose among others. They give the code, then show you what the code looks like after optimization 1, 2, 3, etc. along with what kind of speed-up they were able to obtain over the naive implementation using each optimization.

Consumers are stupid and irrational.

Your solution is that the same people who you think are too stupid to look out for themselves in a market will form a state and magically do collective action to fix the very problem they were individually to stupid to solve.

The problem is just, that for lots of reasons, we know that such collective action is incredibly hard. Collective action is hard in general, but if you take into account that the interest of different people are totally different it becomes close to impossible. This is well known and well researched. The only reason we can actually make collective action happen at level of modern states is because it is coercive. Voluntary collective action would never produce the Iraq war for example.

Yes, humans make mistakes in markets. Everybody knows that, but there is no solution for this. Humans always make mistakes in every possible system that can exist, humans don't change. So the reason why we want a market system the waste majority of the time is because people are accountable for their own choices and have to deal with the consequences. In markets we call this profit and lost, this is the mechanism why markets in the face of the same human errors have continued to produce growth in the last 200 years.

We need free human agency and allow people to make mistakes while perusing their lives goals and attempt to solve their problems in creative ways. That what we call individual freedom. This will generate prosperity.

The idea that you can solve human irrationality with human institutions is a fallacy. Human irrationality is a fact, and the argument needs to be what system of relation produces the best outcome.

Exactly. the article may be correct that luxury spending is declining, but investing in education, retirement and health aren't replacements for that - there are other reasons why they correlate with wealth, but they're not for social capital. Also, from my small anecdotal familiarity with the rich, I don't think that they impress each other by name-dropping The Economist and New Yorker articles (perhaps a subset of the educated do, but not all of them are rich).

Reminds me of the clever Python integration in Bokeh.

I've been toying with the idea of a front-end framework in Python. I know enough Javascript to be dangerous and React isn't entirely abhorrent to me but using Python just makes me happy in a way that writing Javascript doesn't.

The idea of an abstraction layer where I could write my front-end code on the backend appeals greatly. Like all abstraction layers it would create it's own problems but most of the functionality I want in an SPA is fairly routine and it could all end up nice and sane.

Something based on intercooler.js - of which I have great admiration - might be enough for the tasks I'm thinking of.
Time Tracking and Invoicing Apps for Agencies and Freelancers
Perhaps change such a stipend to include comprehensive health care and actual education instead of just data.

Comprehensive health care, including birth control, tends to produce smaller families. Elder care would already be included with the food, shelter, and clothing portion of the stipend - so having someone to take care of you isn't a concern. Nor is having children to work in your factory or farm. Teach folks how to avoid having children: Teach them what to do if they want to have children. Teach them about child-rearing, teach them facts showing how spacing apart children makes for healthier children. Make sure to teach all this to both men and women, on top of other things.

The best part about these sort of things is that they tend to work, even in populations that traditionally have large families. The fact that these sorts of things tend to work alleviates my own personal fear of the population doubling and then doubling again. Some forms of religion might prove to be a difficult group at first, but I think that will be a small enough minority to not worry too much about it.
This with Django as the backend and vanilla js, jQuery or intercooler.js for the front-end would be awesome. ;-)

This is a false dichotomy. These people could be just as skilled, if not more. So then your only argument is localism.

Also, if we _let immigrants compete in the labor market properly_ by not handcuffing people like H-1Bs to their company.... they won't be cheaper. They could just get poached by another company or take a job at market rates.

Incidently I worked on planning the next generation fully automated VOEST-Alpine plant in Kapfenberg several years ago, when I worked as architect. Sorry, but I don't have the pictures. They still haven't decided on it.

This is just a new rolling mill to produce HQ wire, all the blue collar workers are in the iron blasts next door. You can easily get summer jobs there, which is better than going to Switzerland working in a nuclear power plant.
Some pictures: https://www.google.de/search?q=voest+alpine+donawitz

For the introduction of this new automated mill they didn't cut any jobs:
https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&pr...

"Digitization will continue to have no negative impact" said Eder. The transformation process would "take certainly 15 years - without job cuts," as the CEO said.

The automation process and foreign producers (Mittal) with its cheap labor had a huge positive impact on us architects then. We were able to cut costs on huge steel buildings, e.g. the RESOWI University in Graz, which I also worked on, the largest building in the country. It was planned for 1.2bill and was finished under 800m, just because the steel price exactly from this company VOEST Alpine went down dramatically. Before everything was build with concrete, brick or wood, then suddenly steel had an unexpected rise in popularity.
