Hmm they want me to pay to read the paper. But I have many questions, e.g. how do they know this wouldn't have happened anyway. Was there an increase in the number of worked hours being classified as non low wage, and is that why less hours worked were classified low wage, etc.

But ultimately minimum wage laws are based more on ethics than anything. I've not heard of any business going out of business because of this in Seattle. I doubt there are any. This city is ridiculously expensive to live in. I want the people serving me food, etc. to be able to afford to live here. $15 per hour doesn't go far enough, but in lieu of something more dramatic it's the least we can do.
I am not sure how the LO3 system works in particular. But I have been involved in helping create a still experimental system that enables exactly the use case you described: make trading across the grid happen by allowing producers and consumers to agree on the amount and origins of the electricity in circulation at any given point in time.

So, ignoring it basically.

If a person in the UK uses your service you're committing contributory infringement for commercial purposes, AFAICT.

Moreover, the ECD has different protections than DMCA. Particularly getting a takedown notice isn't required.

As a tort you only need to get a preponderance of evidence. IP of the crawler that made the copy puts the owner of that IP in court for contributory infringement, no?

If you make copies of parts of BBC sites and serve those copies from your server how is that not copyright infringement by you??

FWIW I like the service and do not like the copyright regime as it stands, particularly how UK law lacks the breadth of liberties of Fair Use.

It would certainly have a cascading effect, however, because the news soon follows about Bitcoin/all crypto dropping and both bots and watchful traders take their profits out and either get scared out of the market, or hope to capitalize on the dip.
I don't think it's meant to pressure the owners to confirm. The owners have a relatively small likelihood of ever realizing that their home is on the blog. I think it's to try to diminish the trend, and get builders to focus more on making smaller, higher quality houses that consider the climate in which they're built. Just my guess, though.
It's also challenging to consider because housing inflation in Seattle (and the west coast in general) has gone absolutely haywire for years now, often 20% a year or more in some cases.

It's sad tho', interviewing is a pain in the backside, I would love to stay with and grow with an organisation for a solid chunk of time, 10+ years. But it seems impossible - far easier to get a promotion/raise/transfer whatever by moving. And this makes no sense for companies either!
It's a pricing system. When prices go up, you only pay it if you really need it. How much are you willing to pay for having someone washing your dishes at home?
The EU's power structure is currently occupied by people who reject the idea of value judgements, by post-modernists who don't understand the fragility of civilization. They literally believe that no thing is better than any other thing and that forcing equality of outcome is the highest virtue.

These people will do a lot of damage before their system collapses.

You need a device, but you don't need a cellphone plan.
If you expect any regulation, be it speed limits or anti-trust legislation, to have an effect on the situation the penalties for violating them must reflect that, i.e. there needs to be a real reason for the business/individual to obey them. Financial penalties are the most direct way to do so.

Where speed limits are often arbitrary and I think rather useless to maintain safety, to say that also applies to anti-trust and monopoly regulations is a stretch. People tend to forget that the first of these sorts of laws grew up next to companies like Standard Oil and US Steel, companies so large they literally held a stranglehold not just on the people who did business with them, but even to a great extent on their competition. Who's to say Google isn't a monopoly? Not so very long ago with a few keystrokes Google changed the fortunes of hundreds if not thousands of media companies by cracking down on linking and changing how their algorithm worked. Whether or not you agree with their decision (I do, but that's besides the point) is irrelevant; the fact is that Google has the power to greatly influence the flow of traffic on the web, and this power is completely, 100% unchecked and rife with opportunities for abuse.

And as for your co-opting my speeding metaphor, it's also worth noting that while speeding itself isn't so awfully unsafe, plenty of other things that will cost you "points on a license" are also things like drunk driving, reckless driving, driving without insurance, driving vehicles that have damaged components, etc. in other words: things that not only affect your safety, but the safety of those around you.

It won't put a dent in mine. I live in Seattle, I'm seeing the effects of economic growth here, and getting to a minimum wage that's inflation-adjusted still makes a ton of sense.

From [1]: "Our results show that wages in food services did increase—indicating the policy achieved its goal — and our
estimates of the wage increases are in line with the lion’s share of results in previous credible minimum wage studies. Wages increased much less among full-service restaurants, indicating that employers made use of the tip credit component of the law. Employment in food service, however,
was not affected, even among the limited-service restaurants, many of them franchisees, for whom the policy was most binding. These findings extend our knowledge of minimum wage effects to policies as high as $13."

True, I had discounted my time spent on DIY as 'hobby time', which I do for fun and learning. Had I included this then of course it would have been far greater.

I have a few plants I wanted to monitor, so price is more relevant- $300 is more than I'm willing to pay. I think you underestimate how much of the world thinks $60 is unreasonable for such a device, but i don't suppose there's a way to know which of us is right :)
You are absolutely correct, people are even still wary after the aggressive Windows 10 update tricks, so it is extremely unfortunate yet does make some sense.

I hope Microsoft can find a way to earn trust back, this problem is going to get much worse if people do not install security patches ASAP when released.
They should have pre-loaded more onto the wallet to give the impression that most people are paying.

Less than £10K USD gives the impression that nobody is paying.

It is the same psychology as a product only getting a couple of two star reviews - you don't buy it, you go for the product with hundreds of 4-5 star reviews instead.
The article doesn't say that it's using a 0-day vulnerability, nor does it say the NSA is involved.

Take a look at the output switching on different variants of 555s (there are about 6). This isn't always the case. Not only that if you pull lots of current through them, and 100mA is a lot, then the Pd of the sink transistor is pushed a bit hard. I've let the smoke out of a few over the years working on that assumption.

Good tip: measure voltage between the output pin and gnd or Vcc in both states and then have a think.

Plus when you're not an idiot like I was, a MOSFET is cheaper.

Mere difficulty of a problem does not make those who do solve it a natural monopoly. Of course these player may still be a practical (in effect) monopoly due to their being way better than the competition.

The thing is Treble is nothing new, it is just the attempt N + 1 to sort out the update situation in a technical way, where the all issue is political.

Android already has an HAL that OEMs should adhere to [1], so if they haven't adopted correct behaviours willingly, it is not now that they will start doing it.

Thanks! My comment was more directed at the Bloomberg article and authors, which institutionally see situations like this as a "cost increase" because they don't consider the existing environmental/ health consequences to workers as a "cost" (but of course it is).

Every prediction of doom from minimum wage hikes has failed to come to pass [1], yet the anti-minimum wage dead-enders advance ever more tendentious, hair-splitting and arcane justifications for why minimum wage increases are "bad news."

A policy that has the effect of transitioning the economy from low-skill low-wage jobs to more high-skill high-wage ones ought to be celebrated among human beings as a victory. It provides an incentive for workers to improve their skills to compete more effectively and meaningfully increase their income.

Only those who outright prefer a serf economy can describe this study as a negative for Seattle.

I feel like the real problem with meal-in-a-box delivery services is that they are trying to fill the empty shoes of a missing full-time wife and mom because there are more two career couples and both spouses now "need a wife" and it can't be found. The problem is that such a service has no real hope of taking the place of someone with actual cooking skill who knows you well and will tweak the recipe to your preferences, possibly without you even having to explicitly ask or remind her.

If you can afford a meal-in-a-box service, why would you not just go to a restaurant where the wait staff will do a decent job as a substitute for your own live-in cook previously known as The Wife?

I mean, this seems like the worst of all worlds. Someone else decides what you will be eating and you have to do the cooking. I can't imagine buying this.
To paraphrase Marx, in Argentina's case a large enough quantitative change becomes a qualitative one. If you really think that a 100-year "price mismatch" is just that, a glitch, then we are talking about very different things.

That ECB policy was indeed a price, don't know what they want to "discourage" or not, fact is that if you wanted to deposit money to the ECB you had to pay them for the privilege. AFAIK since capitalism set in properly (about 200 years ago) it has almost been the case that you were supposed to receive money as interest when depositing it somewhere (to a king's vault, to ECB, it didn't matter).

Am on mobile, too lazy to look for the real-wage charts. I had just seen one in the FT detailing its evolution for the UK since 2005 or so, with only 3 years out of those 11-12 seeing real wage increases. I used the same source for commenting on Argentina's debt, i.e. last Friday's Financial Times. I used to read zerohedge from time to time, but I don't like their layout, I've mostly stuck with the FT and the Economist for my economy and financial-related info (there was also an interesting economics-related blog under the economist.com domain).
Given that the comments are from 2009, I expect the title is slightly misdated.

Maybe. Signing up for a new account is maybe five minutes work. I might equally be inclined to argue that the switching effort is more than justified by the variety gained by trying a different service.

Google users are not (in most cases) their customers but a product Google sells to their actual customers.

Google long term interest is to increase the margin of their product by increasing their dominance in multiple markets over multiple tiers.

If they do this by using their monopolistic power then they are in violation of the law even when by doing that they provide a service that some of their users see usable.

Where are you getting the information? There absolutely are other visas. The ESTA is just an easier way to do it, and as such, can sometimes be more limited. You can also get normal visa and get other vetting procedures and likely other outcomes.
(Ignoring the continual ad-hominems based on particular word choices)

Your comment seems primarily motivated by anger/frustration at the NSA/CIA/etc - an anger which I greatly share. Politically, I think the entirety of the NSA deserves the firing squad as the bunch of traitors that they are, but alas until the public comes out of the spell of their disinfo games then no action will happen on that front.

Speaking of disinfo games, which do you see as the more likely outcome from this current scare story of the week - these citizen-hostile government agencies are reformed and actually become responsive to the people, OR they court this fear about how bad exploit-finders are to acquire more power, especially the power to go after competing hackers?

That's the crux of the matter - when one chooses the wrong philosophical analysis, one can only go down a path where any "solution" compounds the problem. Responsible disclosure is not the law or even the full extent of ethics - it's a gentleman's agreement as to what is prudent and polite. Regardless of how bugs are fixed, who finds them, or their motivations, the fundamental open-society truth is that responsibility actually rests on buggy software itself, as opposed to the people who point out the bugs. Never mix that up, unless you'd like to get back to the dark ages where even good-faith full disclosure results in draconian legal thuggery!

In the context of your plane example, the company who designed the plane and marketed it for passenger use didn't even bother using a CAE program. When previously informed that the tail easily falls off, they added duct tape and a redundant tail. I've said nothing absolving the CIA/foreign fighters - all bad actors are to blame for their parts. But where that blame is focused matters, and blaming the whole situation on one bad actor (the CIA) will guarantee that the company keeps right on selling the known-defective planes.

I never claimed that citizenship is not the main criteria for the VWP. But just because it is does not mean that everything that feeds into the VWP has "citizenship" as a main purpose. If that were then nobody would have gone through the trouble of creating ESTA. The checks that were in place before were sufficient for that purpose. There were no complaints about that. You can't just look at things in a vacuum as if there was no world before today. Just because something on the surface has one main task does not mean it was mainly created to perform that task.

The reason ESTA exists is, as you correctly note, that the US wants to do certain checks on everybody, including VWP travellers. Before the introduction of ESTA they could not easily do that. Now they can. The reason they ask for citizenship on the same form is then done for efficiency (to check all the main eligibility criteria as well).

The fact that ESTA collects data and later allowed to easily add additional criteria for the VWP and to collect a fee, was certainly not unwelcome by the creators (but this is not why it was designed).

Why have I even started to reply in the first place? Your original comment states

- "The online ESTA form is required to determine if you're in a population that's generally eligible for visa-free entry (so that the airline and other systems know whether to require a visa for you)." (it is not required to do that as history before its introduction shows – there are alternatives to do that just as effectively)

- "It simply says 'Yes, you appear to be a citizen of a country which, in general, has visa-free entry to the US'" (no, it states much more as evidenced by the fact that countless of citizens of VWP nations get denied their ESTA application)
I assume you mean that it does not run at all. 64-bit Windows lacks NTVDM.

Isn't this sort of issue faced by 99% of any new business that sells a service or a product? Unless your idea is something patentable, or you have a trade secret that's locked up tight, or you control your product vertically (e.g., you own the only Unobtainium mine on the planet) - can't your business be copied fairly trivially?

anything that hijacks ordinary scrolling behavior is going to ruin the experience for most users. More and more web pages have found some way to break page down -- either by initially stealing focus or by making scroll completely JS-based.

Sticky headers make pgup/pgdn worse by make the visible size of the page smaller than the window size, so you lose a line or two and have to rewind. The ones that reappear when you scroll up are even worse.

Even worse, when you click to an anchor section on a sticky-header page, the title of the section is hidden by the sticky header.

Take me back to the static web.
