Only if capital is equally distributed, otherwise you end up with large numbers of people who cannot earn an income (or significant income) which I can only imagine negatively given how willing current holders of capital are to share their wealth.
I think its just the opposite - young people generally have a higher risk tolerance and would only be at an advantage against older investors when it comes to the most innovative and new investments that they may have insight into.
The interest of society is not to increase employment - the interest of society is to increase prosperity.

Rounding up all the unemployed people, and forcing them, at gunpoint, to dig ditches and fill them will certainly increase employment, but will not do anything worthwhile for society. (I guess the ones that survive might end up in better shape.)

Having them fix potholes or educate children will increase employment, as well as prosperity. (Setting aside the obvious moral problems of the means by which this took place.)

Rounding them up and putting them into workhouses, where they build things for the benefit of a few well-connected individuals is how we have traditionally done this. It combines the worst of both worlds.

What people forget is that jobs are the means, not the end.
If you are using WhatsApp, make sure you deactivate your account if you change phone numbers. I recently got a new phone number and when I logged in, I assumed a non-deactivated profile previously attached to my new number.
I find that figure exceedingly hard to believe was calculated correctly. Pension funds alone for civil servants (defined benefits, not retirement accounts,) are significantly invested in stock equities, which is a significant portion of households working and retired. Add in 401Ks, IRAs, and discount the undocumented in the workforce I would be shocked if it was not at least 75%.
I fasted for few days on many occasions. The only ill effect was that it was difficult to fall asleep and the sleep was very shallow on second and third night. After that sleep got better. I have not noticed any dumbness. Subjectively perception even improves. This is in line with experience I read in books and articles.

Sometime I use that if I need to drive a long way. I stop eating the day before that ensures that I never fall asleep behind the wheel and my attention stays sharp all the time.

Yes, that's correct.

These might eventually turn out to be predecessors of future arcologies [1]. If you can work out the co-generation aspects, a hyper-dense version of these "malls" could yield significant energy savings over even conventional high-density megalopolises like NYC, Beijing, Tokyo, Mumbai, etc.

Supporting a third part in the past had led to policy change, primarily with the antislavery parties turning into the Republican party. The chance of a similar event happening over net neutrality is slim, it's still the only way to vote for a party committed to ensuring net neutrality. As again, the Democrats stated position was to do nothing.

Can you elaborate on what's missing? I do a lot of graphics work, and their macOS debugging tools for OpenGL were terrible, but the ones for Metal (which came out first on iOS) are pretty cool! I also use Instruments a lot and some of the other more esoteric tools supplied with Xcode. Not to mention the static analyzer, Address Sanitizer, and lately the Undefined Behavior Sanitizer. But I'd love to have even more tools! What else is out there that they don't supply?
Do you think the cheap fare is the value proposition? Or is the private terminals and fast service? That sounds very appealing. I mean, it can be both - save money AND time.

All the TSA experience is awful (business travelers in the US have the pre-screen and stuff of course, but they're probably not your target).
It's not just programs for the poor that are Byzantine. Taxes, securities, environmental regulation, and building permits are too. For these, there are entire professions who specialize in shepherding the paperwork through and the end users can usually afford to pay someone to do it rather than learning how to deal with the bureaucracy themselves.

But to help people apply for entitlement programs, it has to be a non-profit.

IMO, there will always be work that needs doing. Once a particular kind of work becomes worthless another will replace it.

Will the rapid increase in automation cause a "correction" in the labor market? Yup. Will it negatively effect lots of people in the short term? Sure. Will automation destroy the labor market entirely? No.

Even if a majority of jobs were in creating automation you still have to pay those people to automate.

I am wary of the people who feel the need to try and prevent the correction by way of government regulation. That seems like an easy way to create artificial markets like the housing bubble of 2008. At least at the current rate of automation there is not going to be a sudden massive collapse.
It should be left to people to decide how public they want their stories to be.
Here are some more reasons to pick a technology:

Familiarity, knowledge transfer is a big drive for technology adoption. The bad bit is when the decision maker leaves the team and the rest are unfamiliar with the tech. I think this applies to Electron pretty well as web developers can now contribute.

The "it would look good on my CV". I'm thinking about Kubernetes where it doesn't make sense to use most of the time but everybody wants to be doing it because it's hot.
Note also that at least New Hampshire has far more tree cover now than it ever did before the deforestation. But we have lost ~100% of our old-growth trees.

> As a frontend guy, I can’t wait for the day that a tool can generate presentational stuff.

Qualified agreement from this sometimes front-end guy, but that's assuming the generated presentational stuff is of equal or higher quality as that of the other front-end devs.

Being the front-end guy who has to debug the auto-generated code that doesn't quite work in a corner case or two sounds potentially worse than the status quo.
The correct answer is giving the user choice and education.

Unilaterally choosing for them (either pro or con) by any large company is almost always worse.
Not to mention absolute destruction of capital. Not just casualties of war, but capital investments that are either lost or used up in the process of war (airplanes, boats, fuel, etc)
That Google felt the need to invest millions of dollars into making a document delivery platform into something resembling an app platform is not really relevant here. Sure, it is robust. But the whole point of the thread is engineers are notoriously bad at asking what the customer _needs_ from a product vs what the engineer finds fun to write. You want to have fun as an engineer? Work on a side project.

The larger the dependency, the more it should have to do to justify itself. "It's fun to write in" is not a sufficient justification for a 70mb dependency. "I need a cross platform app" is better.

As an engineer, you're responsible for the transitive dependency graph that gets delivered to customer machines. If you want to take on gigantic dependencies because they are the current lovechild of ascendant Medium bloggers, be my guest. I prefer to go off of more than fun and social proof when making engineering decisions, however.

Wow... yours is a team a sane person would do well to bypass.
I am also thinking of DRM. Thinking about it, part of the reasons music labels got big is for economy of scale when mass producing CDs for example. Of course, such economy of scale was not needed anymore with the move to digital distribution. This didn't work well with the current debt-based economy where shareholders depends on stocks always going up for things like retirements and companies treat people as "consumers" to be extracted from. I assume that Hollywood has similar problems, right?

Popular uprising can and does occur over these power imbalances - however historically you need a level of animosity from the monied and powerful towards the underclass, and in this era the capital rich have been very innovative at manufacturing consent and quelling, appeasing, or splitting discontent.

I’m reminded of what’s been going on in Iran the past few weeks - one of the most grasping anecdotes is that poor and middle class people are seeing the children of the powerful absolutely flaunting their wealth, driving maseratis and Porsche’s down the streets of Tehran, and spending more on dog food for a month than people make in a year. Those optics (just how rich the rich actually are compared to you) have been hidden from a lot of American society via exclusive neighborhoods and private airports and a general amount of discretion.

We also don’t have discussions around class because our class hierarchy involves a lot of different verticals by virtue of not having only one culture. The elites of the culture that one belongs to look both a lot more attainable, or at least more inclined to interests that align with the rest of the culture.

So instead of the conflict being up the ladders, the conflict happens between different ladders. That’s at least how I view the current political climate.

VSCode is really bizzare, in a good way. All the configuration is done through JSON files. It's a good editor as well as an IDE. There's no "projects" or "solutions" or wizards. I almost never run into issues with it.

> Do you really believe that if I am working out next to you that I can't hear you grunting if the gym is playing music?

Not that you can't hear me. But that I'm not the only thing you hear.

It's a psychological thing. I'm no longer worrying that the only sounds for people near me to hear are my grunts. The music lets both of us tune it out. If you want to focus on me and listen, you can still do that, but it's weird.

> If you read the discussion you can see that the issue if you have to compete with the house sounds system which is much more powerful than your earbuds.

I've never been to a gym that I couldn't comfortably speak at a quiet level above the music, and wouldn't work out at one that does. This isn't actually a discussion about gym music, it's crappy gyms vs non-crappy gyms.
Since the 2nd derivative of population has been negative for quite some time, maybe this is a good thing?
I think that's generalization, to be honest. The parent comment's intended (I believe) use of "car culture" implies anything that encompasses cars. When I wrote "how they're used and how the automobile infrastructure (roads/highways/etc.) is constructed", it was with respect to that parent comment's context.

In reality there are more purposes to cars. We shouldn't therefore apply some aspects of cars to the broad meaning of car culture.
I know! Reading your food order verbally from a paper-printed menu to a human who needs to memorize or write it down and walk back to deliver it to the food prep area, seems to be such an error-prone and ambiguous way to order a product. Doubly silly that often the waiter will simply take the order and enter it right into some kind of computer or kiosk. Just give me the damn computer! It's shocking that the vast majority or restaurants still do it this way.
More importantly, how do you know Dominoes (or someone else with an incentive) is not driving you down a certain path?

How would LE do SNI validation using the Symantec cert though? I can't add anything to it without invalidating it. My understanding is that that's why they do the .acme.invalid SNI responses; so that the server can respond with a self-signed cert that's not going to interfere with anything else.

DNS and ALPN are both great solution, but here's why neither of them work all that well in my specific circumstances, but TLS-SNI works awesome.

- I can provision VMs at will, but I don't personally have access to DNS. To get a DNS record added, I need to submit a change request. I haven't done the DNS challenge, and I'm not sure if a new TXT record gets generated when you renew a cert or if it's static after initial creation, but either way, DNS very much adds a painful manual step to cert provisioning here.

- ALPN would be great, if it were baked into the default Centos Apache :). That, I suspect, would be a long time coming...

Right now I generally just use HTTP validation, because I've worked out a pattern that generally works pretty good. I set up an Apache rule that auto-redirects all traffic from http to https anyway; I just add a condition to it so that /.well-known/ gets served off the filesystem before redirecting everything else.
I actually like that Sublime Text keeps its settings in JSON files. That way I can pop em in git alongside the rest of my workstation configuration.

Okay but the question isn't 'will there still be some jobs?' it's 'will there be enough jobs?' If the answer is that no and we're at some fundamental point on the technological growth curve where we're advancing fast enough that we wipe more jobs out than we create then what do we do with a society which allocates 'deserts' and 'worth' to those who have jobs on the understanding that everyone could have one if they really tried?

The only way out is government involvement.

Science isn't driven by principles like that. Nothing is built from the ground up, and data that isn't formally understood or modeled is relied upon often. Though we think of it as a dead end today, the experiments and thinking of alchemists (like Isaac Newton) are part of the history of science and were essential to the development of e.g. chemistry and physics.
I agree with many of your points. There is certainly a bubble feel around this. But I don't think that shrugging away all cryptocurrencies/tokens as a dangerous mistake is the answer. Nor is waiting for the big crash (time in the market > timing the market).

There will be many losing cryptocurrencies after the bubble bursts, but some will survive and thrive.

There is a difference in public perception between a welfare state based on public goods, which everyone pays for and everyone benefits from (even if some people are asked to pay more) and a welfare state based on government charity, where only the poorest people benefit. The charity model is one that can make the middle class resent the "undeserving poor" for getting "handouts", while welfare programs based on public goods tend to be very popular.
In a nutshell: If the p-value is below some conventional threshold (in psychology it's usually 0.05), you can conclude that the null-hypothesis (no effect) is likely wrong and that something else must be the case. However, if p is above the threshold you can't conclude anything, because that means that there is either no effect or that the data was not sufficient to show the effect. So the p-value method (formally known as null-hypothesis significance testing, NHST) can only ever be used to reject the null hypothesis but not to support it. This is where Bayes factors are different. In that approach, you formulate not just one hypothesis but two. Then you test how well both hypotheses are supported by the data. Three conclusions are possible: Hypothesis A receives more support, the alternative hypothesis receives more support, there is not enough evidence to conclude anything with sufficient certainty. Presented this way, the Bayes factor approach appears to be strictly superior to NHST. But there are also some complications that make Bayes factors tricky (related to how you select and formulate the hypotheses) and some statisticians go as far as to say that Bayes factors are obviously non-sense (e.g. Andrew Gelman). The truth is probably that they are neither a panacea nor non-sense.
In a city as sensitive to water issues as Tucson this isn't novelty at all. I participated in the student group that helped install cisterns at the UofA visitors center back in 2006 and 2007. We got most of our ideas from a local named Brad Lancaster who'd been doing it far longer.
Doesn't this affect all of their CPUs going a long way back? And how do you recall embedded or laptop CPUs, which are often soldered in-place?

A recall would be great, but there's no way they'd be able to do it. Vehicle recalls are a bit different because they impact physical safety. Digital safety doesn't get the same priority.

Whilst it's true there's not much of what you'd call 'wilderness' in the UK - it's a small island after all where you are never more than 70 miles from the sea, surprisingly only 1% of the UK is built on and only 7% is considered an urban area.

Woodlands currently occupy 12.6% of the UK land area which is almost double the urban area.

As much as I appreciate the guy, I don't think he thought this one through. A simple back of the envelope calculation would reveal just how hard it is to compete with a subway in terms of people per hour for a given width of road/track. Even bicycles, which are pretty compact, still need a safe stopping distance which wrecks the space efficiency. If you eliminate the stopping distances you probably also want to connect the vehicles to reduce crashes, and tada, it's a train.
Good story, thank you.
