This ignores diminishing returns of additional labour and consumption.

If we reach the happy situation where robots are providing us with the things we need for a good life almost automatically, why would we continue to work ourselves to the bone for additional goods and services that won't increase our happiness much? Most people would rather just work less.

In fact, our current level of economic output is enough to give every household a comfortable life, even if we worked substantially less.

Unfortunately the system is structured to maximize labour time, keep us economically insecure, and use us all as grist for the capitalist mill, rather than maximizing leisure time and quality of life.

Buffett has never liked commodities or speculative assets. His primary strategy is to invest in wealth-producing assets. For instance, he said he would much rather own farmland than gold. And that's a great strategy. But it's not the only viable strategy.
It isn't always, but when it is, it's because the costs outweigh the benefits. Usually this is in the form of lack of employee flexibility to do the best for the company (i.e. red tape and hoops become an impediment). However, in this case the cost is employee privacy. You might argue that they have none and spying on all traffic is reasonable, but many times these policies encourage employees to use workarounds that are even more dangerous just so they can have a modicum of privacy (e.g. alternative and less-vetted software packages, non-company hardware, etc).
Crystal is a programming language. https://crystal-lang.org/ Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels natural to read and easy to write, and has the added benefit of a lower learning curve for experienced Ruby devs.
Ideally, a government should be a set of APIs that can be used not just for retrieving data, but also for performing various actions, e.g. updating home address, registering a company, requesting a new driver's license, etc. Permissions for authorized 3rd parties can be assigned through digital certificates. Outsourcing government functions to 3rd parties will create competition and reduce state expenses.

I wonder if Canadian or any other government has a similar vision.

I'm not saying to exclude doctors :) , I'm saying that primary care and triage could be done by individuals with less extensive studies.

Having more medical services does drive the cost down and I live in a country with firsthand experience.

Here in Uruguay, we have several tiers of care, the first one being an equivalent to a walk-in clinic plus doctor-to-home services. If your child has a fever, or you're feeling unwell for some reason, or you have a rash, you go to those and get immediate service. Here they're manned by actual doctors because we have a lot of them (4 per 1000 inhabitants, highest in the world).

These doctors usually only did the standard training (which is 6 years) and not the specializations (which are 4 more years).

These services are not free but they're available with a ridiculously cheap subscription (about 35 dollars/month) which includes free ambulance services in case of heart attack or similar.

These are the ones I'd man with nurses or equivalents in the U.S. They know better than to treat complicated cases - if they triage and understand your diagnosis might be more serious (let's say they suspect the abdominal pain is an appendicitis), they immediately transfer you to your primary care center.

As mentioned, if your injury or symptoms are more serious, then you can go to your primary health provider. These are under a "mutualism system", which is basically equivalent to being a state-provided healthcare system. Those are paid from your paycheck (4.5% to 6% of gross salary) and free for those under some sort of state subsidy or pension or equivalent.

Here you have access to all specialists, if you're on a standard service, you'll have to be referred by a general practitioner or have a wait time of a few months. There are also private insurance companies that provide a service on top of this, which for an extra monthly premium (200 dollars in my case) you can get same-day appointments to any specialist.

Many doctors here are among the 1%, but a lot of them (those in the primary care centers I mentioned) don't make much above a standard wage.

Does it really matter? I challenge the notion that the 1% in terms of "income" is earned through working more or harder.

Rather that "earned income" is either extracted from the work of employees who have no choice but to work for less given the supply of labor vs demand, or it is extracted from one's unearned advantages (genes, better childhood, one's skillset happening to be in short supply, etc).

While the free market may be a good mechanism for allocation of resources and labor for production, I challenge the notion that it is a good mechanism for determining what individuals deserve to keep for themselves.
I'd guess the desire not to interact with people, whether through this, or telecommuting, is disproportionately represented here (HN). But not at all a norm in the US. People here shop online because it's the path of least resistance, not because of a specific avoidance of participating in the world.

I prefer shopping offline, to have more excuses to get out, not fewer. (Within reason of course, some stores/experiences really are worth avoiding.)
> Should hard work, natural intelligence and giftings be punished in the grand scheme of things because others might not have that same inherent benefit? Should family wealth, connections, social status be punished because others lack?

Rather than thinking of earning slightly less as "punishment," you should consider it as the price paid for civilization and the foundations upon which your very ability to earn a high wage are built.

>We have a strange notion of "deserve" in our society, that someone deserves more simply because they have a skill or circumstances that are in lower supply compared to demand. So physician skills are in shorter supply than secretary skills. But if they were shipwrecked on a desert island, and the secretary knows how to fish and keep them alive, suddenly he can command a greater share of income on that island. Arbitrary no?

Does being a physician require a higher level of emotional intelligence, memory, reasoning, spatial intelligence, determination, stamina, moral conscientiousness, compassion, and a lower amount of mental illness, physical illness?

Not everyone can become a physician. Those who lack in any particular dimension have to compensate in other ways to succeed in medicine. It's why medical school admission is so competitive and multifactorial, to weed out those who can't make it, and shouldn't make it in the case of lack of compassion.

What do physicians deserve for an income? What do basketball and football players deserve? What do CEOs deserve? It's all from the same mindset: someone else has something I do not have.
I do think that they will have compelling data to sell. They will have a lot of demographic information that the theaters don't have access to (age, distance traveled to theater, some income information, etc.) as well as what movie and what time.

I'm not sure how much data the theaters can gather from credit card ticket purchases, I would expect they glean nearly no data at all from cash purchases. I suspect they are trying to fill in these blanks with the goofy phone apps they are aggressively pushing.

In my opinion, MoviePass can likely sell a lot of this data back to to the companies that produce the films as well as the theater chains themselves.
Had the same issue - the Console App logs have taken a SERIOUS step back from earlier versions; lots of garbage that should clearly be DEBUG or TRACE level (I guess remnants of what developers have been working on).

Anyway, after days of experimentation, in my case, I think it was WebGL on Chrome. If I disabled GPU graphics acceleration in Chrome then the freezing would never happen. I downloaded the NVidia drivers for my 2012 MBP and so far WebGL is working fine on Chrome without freezes. To be clear, the whole computer froze - couldn't even more the mouse pointer!

Obviously, given the botched state of High Sierra in general others may be experiencing different causes for their freezing.

Deeply unsatisfied at Apple over this, how hard does it have to be to take a perfectly fine OS (pre-High Sierra) and keep it that way?

Tip: To fix your CSS, you're using Bootstrap but you're missing any '<div class="container">' or '<div class="container-fluid">'. One of those around your outer 'class="row"' (basically level below body) fixes your main issue.

(Then remove the negative margin on your Go button and/or use one of the better options bootstrap has for that kind of thing [1]).

Apparently constexpr is like "inline". Just as the inline keyword doesn't actually guarantee that the compiler will inline a function, so constexpr doesn't require the compiler to precompute something, but rather just gives a hint to the compiler that you'd like it to if it can.

The article describes duplicating a Twitter account by picture, name, and bio. Pic, bio and subject matter is about as deep as most people would go to identify a Twitter account as belonging to a given person.

I wager that even a large portion of the busy people on this site wouldn't do any further due diligence to determine whether or not the targeted Twitter account was fake, or real, and thus would have horrible opinions of the author of this article.
> KDF adds about 15 bits of work to each guess attempt.
> That's approximately equivalent to adding 6 random
> characters to your password.

A better way of putting it is that it's equivalent to adding 15 bits of entropy to your users' passwords, which in the grand scheme of isn't actually much of a marginal improvement in overall security. Adding 15 bits to an already strong password provides a small, largely irrelevant marginal gain. Adding 15 bits to a bad password has more marginal benefit, but you're typically still in the window where brute-force cracking is tolerable, especially considering typical attack models--in most scenarios attackers only need to crack the weakest password among an often large set of passwords.

Fancy hashing schemes optimize for scenarios that are both relatively rare and fleeting. If you're in a position where they seem defensible, you've already lost the game. Unless your purpose is to check-off some boxes, similar to how until recently IT departments required frequent password resets to check-off NIST's antiquated guidelines.

There is a way to substantially improve the overall security of a password-based system: use a keyed HMAC on a cryptographic HSM for validating passwords. With an HSM (from which we assume the attacker can't actually recover the secret key), you can precisely, reliably, and meaningfully throttle brute-force recovery times without being contingent on any hand-wavy, snake-oily, bike-sheddy hashing scheme with dubious parameters.
These types of memory hard operations also have other popular uses; Keccak and other modern variants like Wild Keccak in proof of work operations which favor consumer hardware for example.

> Can you point to an example of a (nontrivial) site where a DoS attack against the password hashing service was the primary point of failure?

Reformulating the question from a different angle: why did all the large sites whose password database got leaked (Yahoo, LinkedIn...) still use regular hash functions?

> This also has the advantage that the server doesn't see the actual password.

Other schemes with that property include augmented PAKEs such as SPAKE2+ (example implementation: https://github.com/jedisct1/spake2-ee) and Tabby PAKE (https://github.com/catid/tabby/blob/master/PASSWORD.md)

So sorry, my experience with Apple from 2004 until Sierra was totally positive - hardware and software. I'm sure Apple will be rectifying this 'dropped ball' moment soon and I pray they'll learn from it.
I had this issue a lot _before_ upgrading to High Sierra.

In my case I did a clean install of my Mac and then installed High Sierra. The issue then went from happening 3-4 times per day to about 3-4 time per week.

I suspect this (at least in my case) having a lot more to with the new Macbook Pro with Touch Bar than macOS.

In any case, apple should do better
