Logic is not ideologically biased.

Universal basic income is also ideologically biased (in the other direction); however, it has this fine distinction that it is actually technically impossible. Even retirement schemes are falling all over the world; UBI is 10-20 times more expensive.

I took the course. I thought it was excellent and it took less than a week for me to complete it working very part time on it. I was already using some of the suggested techniques, which was reassuring, and I learned some new ones. My progress with learning a new language and memorizing things in general has noticeably improved.
I think that's a good point that we definitely need to consider.

It seems to me that an alternate interpretation could be that:

I would have guessed that low paid jobs were already dominated by large corporations (however I do not have data to back this up one way or the other), it seems that small businesses are at least surviving (even if they were hurt somewhat), and small businesses can't compete on economy of scale so it would make sense for them to hire more skilled employees to compete on quality. In this case maybe higher minimum wages would still be a net good?

Which law applies to the transaction is what the card account is; not the transaction. TILA applies to credit cards, and EFTA applies to debit cards.

Whether you're costing the merchant more money with higher fees for credit transactions, or if this gets normalized to a debit transaction later on, I'm not sure. But either way it's ridiculous to "force" a credit card transaction on the merchant.
I think maybe your definition of "resolved" is a little skewed. It is not about the features of the object, but more by the Rayleigh Criterion [1][2]

So we can already (and have been able to for a long time) to "resolve" things as apparently-small as exoplanets, but for resolving _surface details_ we are one order of magnitude away for interferometers and two orders of magnitude away for standard single-mirror telescopes. Right?

Not to mention that if the "more calories in than calories out" people aren't measuring the calories in their excrement or (in the case of diabetics) the amount of glucose in their urine, then they aren't getting the complete picture anyway regardless of what gets stored where. They would also have to factor in how many calories are burned to process each type of food.

Even in the old approach, you get publicly routable addresses over DHCP. The approval was for static addresses only, and was very fast, because you're literally on the same network as the DHCP addresses.

If they detect bad activity, they blacklist your MAC address so you can't connect. This is no different under the new scheme, and has nothing to do with NAT.

I am like you. Every big performance win i ever got was from changing algorithms. Sometimes i didn't write either the old or the new, but just swapped out a different implementation. A good handle on that stuff can get you a long way. And can certainly be picked up from reading. it's a lot closer to just math.

That said, spend a week with C and valgrind/cachegrind. There's a lot of theoretical stuff that is hard to get at (or is for me) without a little exposure to how the system works. a coupe hours here and there will extend your mental model to include the various layers of cache. That'll make the more esoteric stuff more accessible.
It has nothing to do with amounts of addresses, and everything to do with making dividing stuff up for routing easier.

A large ISP entity like comcast or AT&T can now have say a single /16 or /24 allocation and pretty much no matter how much they subdivide up their regional routing, routing to AT&T can easily be coalesced and summarized , and every end customer can still get a /64 till pretty much the end of time.
To address this point I will quote from Walter Block[1]:

>Just because Hazlitt has no formal credentials in economics does not render his views fallacious or superficial. There are other highly respected economists, in the modern era, who do not have a PhD in economics: David Friedman (physics PhD), Henry Manne (law degree), Gordon Tullock (law degree). Gary Becker wrote a lot about sociology, but his PhD was in economics. Several non economists actually won Nobel Prizes in economics, several with degrees in psychology. Nobel Prize Winner Elinor Ostrom’s PhD degree was in political science, not economics. Many economists in history had no formal training in this subject. This disproves their views?

>What we do know is that current techniques won't get us close to AGI, so something new is needed (or perhaps like backprop, something old will work once we have enough compute power).

With backprop we didn't just need bigger machines, we needed better algorithms, palliatives for the exploding-gradient problem that made values exceed our numerical representations, and then hardware specifically designed for doing the matrix-ops involved.

If I saw something capable of speeding up probabilistic program inference the way GPUs sped up backprop, I'd start saying we should expect to see powerful AI applications quite soon.

If this was really true, I could see how important that would be. Having better ways to govern ourselves, and putting 35% of GDP to better use than it currently is being used, would have tremendous impact. But, the Government and the majority will never in a million years allow this to happen and thus none of this "consensus" will ever matter (because it occurs outside the scope of our operating government). The real key to achieving what your alluding too is a massive political innovation which I don't see how bitcoin can bring about.

That's the point of the study: the real increase in wages to workers isn't the nominal statutory increase. For example, many people in the low-wage labor market in Seattle were already making more than the minimum wage.
I sort of see it too.

I think it's caused by a mix of 2 things, first when you stare at something for a while the details tend to fade away, and this image is very susceptible to it since it has very soft colors on the border, and the gradients are from the outside towards the inside so that causes the perceived object to shrink. Second, the eye constantly has small involuntary saccadic movements, and whenever that happens the first effect gets "reset", and the perceived image grows to its real size again.

I'm explaining what it is likely the upthread poster was referring to when talking about closing the capital gains tax loophole, not advocating anything.

(I have advocated better aligning the treatment of capital, labor, and generic other income, but the details involve more than just counting long-term capital gains as ordinary income.)
My take is that if your competition is trying to undercut you then either you charge too much, or they don't have a lot to offer aside from a low price.

I used to work for a company that had a single product and sure we've lost a few customers to our competitors because of our pricing, but judging by what they chose instead I don't envy them.
Why are you so concerned with what others do? IME there's this language/framework tribalism culture in software that's extremely poisonous; language/framework supporters go online and bash, spread fud, and denigrate other languages and frameworks. It's poison and taints our entire profession.

I propose that avoiding such triabalism is adequate reason to not use frameworks! You haven't advocated any particular framework but maintain some sort of framework use is best position, which is odd. Learning frameworks does take time, and when you're iterating a side project, with a mortgage, 3 kids, and spouse, time is the last thing you have. Is this you? Probably not! But that's the reality for some.

Certainly learn a framework to pay the bills, j2ee has been very lucrative for me for 13 years. I would never use it for a side project!

It's not just competition. In most markets, your customer's willingness to pay follows a power law: you'll have one customer who's willing & able to pay an exorbitant amount, your next biggest might pay 50% less, and so on down, until you get to the mass market who all want your product for $99.99. Companies that operate at the head of the distribution (i.e. most B2B companies) want to be able to practice price discrimination, and charge that one whale what they're actually willing to pay. Otherwise, they could be leaving a significant amount of money on the table.

The competition aspect is pretty commonly worked around - basically every B2B company I know has no compunctions against calling up a competitor, posing as a potential customer, and getting a price quote for competitive research. Or if they have slightly more compunctions, they'll call up a market research firm, hand over some money, and the market research firm will call up all the competitors in the industry, pose as a potential customer, and sell that information back to all the competitors in the market.

I suspect that SpaceX's published price tag is really there to motivate the employees. It's a reminder that Elon's goal is to make spaceflight a mass-market product that an ordinary middle-class citizen can afford, and so he wants that number to go down over time. In many B2B markets without price transparency, there's a tendency towards lazyness on the engineering side; when your revenue comes from how effective your salespeople are at jacking up the price, there's little incentive to focus on small efficiencies that keep the overall price down. Elon wants to keep the focus on small efficiencies so that the price gets low enough that it becomes an everyday thing.

The unemployment rate only counts people looking for work. If they quit the labor force completely, they're no longer counted as unemployed.

Minimum wage workers are usually the lowest skilled workers in the economy. When they're displaced they have the fewest alternative jobs available to them, so they tend to drop out of the labor force. Either temporarily, while they go and learn new skills, or permanently.
No. IPv6 is great in concept but the world just isn't ready for it yet. Even our Google Wifi access points don't support IPv6 in their latest firmware, so I have no way of using IPv6 even though Comcast supports it. AWS IPv6 support has been sketchy until only this year. Many parts of the world are happily dancing with their IPv4 NAT and their sysadmins have no incentives to support IPv6 whatsoever.

Forcing people to use anything is never a good way to promote innovation.

I went to MIT for my undergrad and doctoral studies. One of the main reasons I chose MIT over other schools was the ease of availability of static IP addresses, unlimited symmetric gigabit bandwidth, no port restrictions, and other things. I even mentioned this in my undergrad application essay. I built a lot of things with it and learned a lot in my time there. I probably learned more outside of classes than in classes, and I think that's one of the distinguishing aspects of MIT culture.
This isn't the first such study, in fact there is a long history of them, with results so mixed that nothing can be concluded one way or the other on minimum wage (except perhaps for the conclusion that Economics 101 models don't match the real world). The following book contains a short review in an early chapter
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Economics-Anti-Textbook-Critical-Th...

Still to my mind, a high level of Universal Basic Income combined with no minimum wage would be a more logical thing to do, and solves the above problems.

Not it's not. It's not like each pass takes as long as if you were doing it in one pass. I would actually say that this approach is faster as it lets you focus better and on the things you want to get.

> it is like throwing mud to the wall hoping that it sticks

I must have not explained it well because that's the exact opposite of what I'm talking about. It's not about what sticks, it's about creating the connect-the-dots

I think you have more anti-union laws in some US states, such as Michigan and Wisconsin.
But the question is, did they have 20 different datasets and picked the one that gave them the result that they wanted. Did they pick "Seattle vs outside Seattle (except for Starbucks, Walmart, etc)" and get "Oh dear bad result for minimum wage". Or did they pick "Oh dear bad result for minimum wage", and then find "Here's one: Seattle vs Outside Seattle (except for Starbucks, Walmart, etc)"?

> Can you elaborate on how you can derive a set from hashes by using values of True or 1? Might you have a link? Thanks.

Sure. Np!

I mean that a simplified set is just a hash where the elements of the set are keys of the hash table and the values can be anything. I used 1 or True as example.

As in adding an element would be:

my_dict[element] = 1

Then membership check is:

if element in my_dict

Then removal is deleting:

del my_dict[element]

and so on.

In other words, the reason sets are sometimes not explicitly there is because they are easy to implement on top of existing data structures.

Basic operations like union, difference, intersection between two sets can be done with a few simple for loops.

But like I mentioned in other comment, there is one interesting aspect to set (and hashes) in that the element now have to be hash-able. That kind of depends how mutability and identity works in the particular language.

Hazlitt wasn't a scholar of any sort. He was a writer. He's got about as much authority on this subject as John Stossel.

The irony of this citation is that we're commenting on a paper that opens by observing that the theory of minimum wages, derived in effect from economic first principles, hugely oversimplifies the empirical reality. And as support for that study.. Hazlitt.

Article says the stdy is not peer reviewed yet
An interesting point my co-worker made is that, almost by definition, if an interviewee does not know how to answer a question, they don't know why that question is important or where that type of problem is applied. So from the point of view of an interviewee who's can't do well on all the questions (that's most of us in most interviews) some of the question will always seem like minutiae / lacking application. (Of course, there's also plenty of just bad interview questions)
"The crux of the issue is at the end of the day, the true "market value" of most 0 or near 0 skill jobs is close to 0$. This is especially true in the case of your hypothetical homeless person for whom any employment represents a significant percentage marginal increase in income (hard not to beat 0)."

I don't think that's true at all ... as a Californian, I am surrounded by zero skill tasks related to agriculture that pay well more than zero.

I pay workers in my vineyards and orchards for zero-skill tasks like weeding, mowing, digging, etc. over minimum wage. Granted, this is in a coastal area (Marin County) but even in the central valley the value of zero-skill labor is much more than zero.

In fact, I will bet that anywhere in California a worker that can show up on time and work hard for a full shift will consistently be paid over minimum wage for this zero-skill labor (absent employer trickery).

The real problem, in my opinion, is that there is a great social migration taking place towards high-priced cities with low housing stock and lots of wealth driving up prices of all goods and services in these areas.

So it's not that zero-skill work has zero value, but rather: zero skill work cannot meet basic living standards in an expensive city - and these days, all of the cities are (relatively) expensive.

We are talking about Seattle, after all ...
