> Well no... Inefficiency is totally independent of equitability.

The reason why inefficiency is tied to equitability in the real world is because equitability is enforced, which means you spend resources to achieve it, and that is the successful case of enforcement. i.e. forcing everyone to take insurance to give coverage to the sickest can increase sickness because there is no economical consequence to unhealthiness.

> This increase in healthcare expenditure across time has happened in all western countries has it not?

No..if it had, we wouldnt be talking about a problem of healthcare in the US. Its grown disproportionately here. But the whole point is that 50-60 years ago, healthcare was cheap and it was private.

> You mean how the government has failed to regulate more? How the government has failed to de-privatize certain portions of the American healthcare system? How the government has hamstringed public options (like Medicare) to prevent the american public from realizing how much cheaper the government can provide care than can a private system? Totally agreed!

I will be more practical then. What do you think are the top 3 issues that make healthcare expensive? Concretely, not abstractly. What are the 3 things that if didn't happen, healthcare would be much cheaper, and I challenge that all 3 of them are the result of regulation. That is, the government made it expensive.

This can be largely explained by the drop in birth rates in China associated with the one child policy. The number of college-aged Chinese in 2020 will be roughly half what it was a decade before[1]. People have seen this coming for years. The administrators blaming this on politics are most likely scapegoating for their poor planning.

We have rapidly growing revenue and large contracts from some of the world’s most recognisable brands. HQ is in SF, with small outposts in Vancouver and Berlin. We’re hiring engineers at all levels (and also for sales and customer success) - if the problem sounds interesting, I’d love to tell you more. evan@alloy.ai
My old country gave to whoever returns home with a foreign degree up to 95% salary match from what they would have made if they stayed.

You can rack $100k USD, in a country where average yearly salary is $2k and living expenses are nil.

When you talk about 'standard of living', imagine what standard of living you'd have in USA at 50x average salary. If I'm not mistaken that would be around 1-2 million a year. Add to that free unlimited healthcare, free prescriptions glasses. No land ownership fees, no condo fees, some money to buy your way anywhere, etc.

It's not being "wiped out", it's being scaled down to sustainable levels.

If "the authorities" protect price levels for every job that is in a larger supply than demand, that money goes straight out of the pockets of the people who perform jobs that are in demand, i.e. the people performing the tasks that are needed the most by all the other people.

You have a less efficient economy as a result, which makes people poorer on the average.

This is all negative for the US but our loss is the world’s gain. China’s economy will pass the US’s in the 2030’s, for example. India will rise to #3.

We should expect more R&D from the rest of the world. China may lead the world in AI and space exploration. India in drug research. Billions of people will come out of poverty.

American students may flock to India to get a better education at a fraction of the cost.
Eh. Also, Chinese are in it for the green card and Americans are in it because they just love the subject. What other gross generalizations can we come up with?
This seems at odds with your earlier statement: Yes when they are void of anything to do with journalism (Plane goes down)

I can't really figure out what point you're trying to make but that's OK, doubtless it will be clearer in some other context.
> I concede it look like DACA has some time requirements most F-1 students would not satisfy (in addition to the entry age req)

Well, plus if you are in a legal status, you aren't eligible for DACA, plud DACA has been closed to new applicants, so literally no one can qualify for it newly now.

> Still a non insignificant amount came here on non-immigrant visas also (tourist visas).

So?

> In any event, there may be some meat for a class action by international students who may not want to pay the "full-fare" price they pay, given otherwise international students (on expired tourist visas) are eligible for state subsidy.

International students (including a very restricted set of undocumented ones) who are residents are eligible for a state subsidy; residency is, however, incompatible with certain immigration statuses that are nonetheless compatible with study, including F-1.
This logic makes no sense to me. You have a company that stores, without consent, highly personal data for almost every American. There was an implied responsibility to protect that information. For such a company, security should be pretty high on the priority list. All of the following is negligence:

1) Store all this information, unencrypted

2) They were told of the vulnerability in March and had 2 months to update the software.

3) Afterwards, set up a broken website with a DV certificate to accept SSN numbers.

4) The website, even though was a vulnerability disclosure, tried to _sell_ an Equifax identity monitoring package.

5) Redirect your own customers to a phishing website set up by a white hat hacker

6) Allow employees to have usernames/pws like 'admin/admin' on edge servers

The circumstances that led to the vulnerability, and the actions that Equifax took afterwards absolutely warrant outrage. And this is not even taking into account the original point - this is a pattern of incompetence and failure - but to add to the fire, Equifax was a company that was tasked with storing highly sensitive personal data for millions of Americans and did not take the appropriate security steps to do so; in fact, they ignored even the most basic security measures. They should have had at least bank-level security with such a responsibility. There is no excuse.

Very often, yes, they expect to return. For example Samsung was built to a large degree by Korean students returning to Korea from overseas programs, along with students from top local schools.

Sure, having a degree from a prestigious US school is a big advantage both here and in China. OPs point, I think, was that when it comes time to cash in that advantage, you will probably get more dollar-equivelents for it here than you would in China.

Of course, there are other considerations besides pay... but if you are trying to maximize pay, beating Silicon Valley or New York takes some doing.
> This is completely stupid and unacceptable.

Why?

> Why does Sundar Pichai make 500x more than the President? Do we, as a society, value running Google well 500x more than running our government well?

Why must the Presidency be the most highly-paid position for the government to run well? That is a ridiculous and silly assumption.
...and rural college towns. That ought to be in the headline, too.
As defined, I think the point was that that skill set is nowhere near being wiped out.
Not to get into the politics of it, but isn't the"deep state" supposed to be the entrenched government employees that work against Trump?
Having the choice to pin versions separately per module is a desirable feature, especially for multi-module builds with different deploy artifacts. So this is no problem at all; deciding which versions to pin per artifact/module is the programming job — no tool can automagically decide this for you correctly.
> How do I get a preconfigured quickstart project for say iron and diesel with rust? I read the rust book. I must have missed it.

The book doesn't cover everything. That said, we currently don't have a built-in solution for this feature; we had one but it never hit stable. Since it didn't get accepted before the impl period late last year, the discussion was effectively on-hold; it can get started up again now that it's past the new year.

That said, many projects provide their own way to get started. Diesel's CLI has a "diesel setup" command to get going with it, for example. I'm not aware of one for Iron.

Question: how does this compare to other states?

I'm particularly interested in China's equivalent(s?) of the NSA. Do they manage to retain talent? Is it because the PRC's elite believes more in its mission? Is it higher status than the NSA? Do they offer higher relative salaries?
One thing that always hits me during rebasing is trying to figure out which side is which. Somehow it feels like sometimes they switch, though I'm sure that doesn't make sense.

Sorry I missed this and just posted a reply about it. To repeat, I am quite impressed by the hardware and find it comparable to the macbook pro in weight, performance, and battery life. I would research if the distro you want to run has been tested on it by anybody else.
Nevermind fellow citizens. The NSA openly spies on other countries people and certainly doesn't do it with their interests at heart. Americans hypocritically don't like being spied on but they're more than happy to do it to everyone else.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Sigh.

This bug allows a user level process or even a website to read any memory on the pc, including memory of another vm on the same box.

Yes. But "Don't be evil" does not translate to "Don't do anything dkural doesn't approve of".
> No one cares about government pay scales.

NSA leadership has clearly acknowledged the impediment:

The big change these days is there’s a supply-demand imbalance between the outside and the inside

Total compensation for [SV and other cities that tech start-ups call home] jobs can reach $200,000 or more, meaning even relatively junior cyber professionals in the industry can make more than top officials at the NSA.
i guess Kaiser Permanente is the closest to the vertical integration we're ever going to get here.

I cannot wrap my head around how that would even happen in North East region with fragmented hospital systems. They would need to join together to form a single hospital system, and/or buy out primary care practices, then merge with a large insurance company and PBM.
Maybe a misunderstanding. What is the difference between putting a jar as a dependency (pure binary or with sources) or putting its actual content into the project, that uses it?
I would argue that income taxes are still new enough (~100 years) that you can claim moral superiority over the state’s arbitrary claim to support them

The nation state concept was arbitrarily rolled out worldwide over the last few centuries and their passive revenue ideas are just as arbitrary

People largely debate the fairness of the tax amongst all participants in the system instead of the system itself, this is understandable because they are numerous and powerless whereas the multinational class is the exact opposite

But these still have no effect on the intrinsically amoral nature of government revenue ideas

The nation state concept got itself into its own mess

> While a lot of companies make acquisitions, most don’t execute well on integration.

I have a theory that much of the success of web-based companies isn't due to the internet's reach itself, but because they can actually harness programming to business. Make something happen; check for something; modify everything. Of course, there's always problems with programming but it's so much easier than doing it any other way.

But traditional businesses cannot reap these benefits, because they cannot make IT central. They can't be IT first. And they lack the talent and experience to handle all the problems of programming. Therefore, it is the new web-based companies that know what they are doing (with programming) that win this.

The quote above is a great example: it's hard to integrate acquired businesses, they usually just become a messy "conglomerate". What if you could actually integrate other products and services into your products and services? With programming, it is possible, whereas it wasn't really before.

There are still problems - and other commemts highlight how the UI has suffered. Indeed, enlarging a codebase inevitably has much in common with a messy "conglomerate". But it's so much easier than doing it in any other way than with programs (i.e. traditional businesses).

(Atlassian's products also help other businesses run on programs, but that's not my focus here).

the idea being that if you are accepted, you can get a loan to go to school. A loan that you can't discharge in bankruptcy. A loan that can cause problems later on, if you can't get a job in a high paying field.

Or, at least, I think that's what the post you are replying to was getting at.

Another view is that the "student loan crisis" is a much bigger deal for people who take out loans for colleges that are easier to get into, colleges that have lower graduation rates and that don't have the same pipeline into higher paying jobs.

Most of the elite schools have 90+% graduation rates, and if you graduate from one, you have a pretty decent crack at making good money (and thus paying off your loan without too much trouble.)

The idea here being that the elite schools are what colleges promise to be (a path up the socioeconomic ladder) but they are extremely selective (I could totally pay, for example, but they wouldn't let me in; not without me taking two years off to go to community college first. My high school grades were terrible.) - many of the less prestegious schools don't have such high success rates. Community and state schools have graduation rates that are half what the elite schools have. San Jose State, a really pretty good 'state school' has a graduation rate around 50% (Of course, San Jose State is also pretty cheap) University of the pacific, a mid range (expensive) private school in Stockton has a 60% graduation rate.

I personally feel that rating schools based on their graduation rates is super problematic; I mean, an elite school isn't going to 'take a chance' on a student who might not tough it out just because they take a reputational hit if the kid swings and misses. But it does make sense from a student loan perspective; if someone is accepted to Stanford, chances are they will graduate, and chances are, the student loans incurred won't be a huge burden, due to the opportunities available. - But a lot of this is simply that you aren't accepted to Stanford unless you are the sort of person who has a lot of opportunity. Maintaining these high graduation rates means that students who are less likely to succeed are not given a chance to try; Because a high graduation rate is part of what makes an elite school, and because high graduation rates generally mean an input filter that filters for people who would have succeeded anyhow, elite schools are not good ways for people who don't have opportunity to gain opportunity.

I definitely get lost in big rebases too, same experience. I look at two sides of a merge and even with 3-way turned on I still question which version is the one I want, obviously the point of conflict resolution is to keep the important bits of both sides but I still feel like it takes forever to do it
It might be, but Apple, Google, FB, MSFT, etc, still have the ability to roll one of those giant mining dump trucks full of money up to the founder's doors, so you're always going to have the possibility that they just get bought out.
Other than leaking timing information though, is there any reason why this kind of speculative execution can't be secure? Apparently we're going to find out more in the coming weeks, but it feels strongly like Intel has made a number of mistakes leading up to this.
Maybe there is a more applicable analogy that doesn't invoke "other people." After all, Google isn't exploiting a loophole of Amazon or Apple, nor is it violating any terms of service; it's simply complying with tax law.
it's still a bad thing, even if it's widespread. We need consistent tax codes and consistent application of taxes. It's not exactly a new thing that richer, more clever companies figure out how to avoid paying as much in taxes. That is a bad thing whether it is because you can do the double dutch/irish trick, and it is equally bad if you can bribe politicans to give you special tax treatment.
