Are you saying present discrimination can explain the wealth gap? my initial response assumed you meant historical discrimination explains the current wealth gap. Thus, if other non-white groups can start at a similar level and attain a higher outcome, then I would posit that other variables must play a role. But maybe you're saying present discrimination (not levied at other groups) can explain it.

> others have used one variable to levy their discrimination and it's always been race

There have been countless forms of discrimination, not all of them associated with race. After all, it's imperfect people dealing with imperfect people.

Other factors I think are also relevant to present-day wealth gaps: family norms/stability (e.g. single-parent prevalence), cultural expectations, education, location. Undoubtedly these are entwined with each other and with the variable of race.
I think the formula is really simple for me. Never dismiss another culture's practices and beliefs simply because they are unfamiliar. Judge them on their merits. Setting New Year's in February and lighting fireworks is unfamiliar to me, but perfectly fine. Subjugating women is not.

More salient would be liberals pleading for respect and understanding of Islam and Islamic Americans, but still rejecting terrorism or female circumcision.

As a frequent RSS user, I want to read the content in my preferred environment with my preferred contrast, colors and font. Many years ago I decided to not follow people who only put a crippeled version of their content into my RSS reader. If they don't want to be read, that's ok, they're pleanty others with better content anyway which I gladly read instead.

* Licensing: IANA lawyer, but my understanding is that the LGPL doesn't force you to release the entire source, unless you are shipping a single static binary or a custom version of Qt. If you dynamically link, you are good to go.

* Getting started: I agree it is painful. There's a definite learning curve here. I believe it's worth it obviously, but that's obviously subjective.

* Language choices: There are binding for quite a few other languages. There's a lot of pyqt projects out there. But I disagree that C++ is painful - it really depends on who wrote it. Well written C++ is pleasant, poorly written C++ that abuses things is awful. The javascript portion does suck tho, you are right. It will improve, but it doesn't improve quickly.

* Deploy bit: you predicted my argument here. I favor the system package manager.

I find the use of rake to be kind of unorthodox, and yet I don't know what else you'd use in the Go world, other than maybe just Makefiles. Any particular reason to choose Rake? It's probably not easy to get it running on Windows based on my experience playing with Rails on Windows.

Other than that it looks quite useful, and it's definitely something to keep in the tool belt. Bonus points for the subtle Undertale references too :)

It has nothing to do with YouTube and everything to do with advertisers actually having control of what they want their ads to appear on.

Somehow everything is a conspiracy against "conservatives." It's so sad that the Party of Reagan has resorted to miring itself in constant outrage. This is an extremely dangerous mindset, this is how you get people to shoot up pizzerias due to nut job conspiracies.

I was traveling through Karnataka a few years back and was riding a conveyance from the historical site back to my accommodations and passed through a small town on the way. There was a middle-aged (perhaps even late 20s) man lying in the middle of the road, while traffic dodged around him.

The driver told us the man was to poor to start a family and so had gotten drunk and laid in the road to be run-over and killed.
I find it best to be asked that kind of homework after I have done my first interview. It usually means we both got a chance to pass and that the effort I will put will be seriously considered.
Gender equality in China is much better after decades of the one child policy. Businessmen who would have raised their sons to take their place raised their daughters that way with no sons.

I work with powerful Chinese businesswomen and they are no nonsense tough customers. They also do not have any of the delicate mixing of sexuality and asexuality that American businesswomen need to strike - the Chinese women are all business all the time.
That guy in Idaho running a repeater on 146.520, national simplex calling frequency for VHF. Lol. Real genius there, I'll bet it took less than a week before a complaint was filed.
I got that sense as well. I don't have numbers to back it up, but in grad school and where I currently work, there were very few women, yet it seemed like the ratio of Chinese men to Chinese women was closer to equal than the overall ratio of men to women.
As there were quite a few analytics companies for RSS when it was more popular, your comment couldn’t be further from the truth. The founder of one of the most popular RSS analytics firms (FeedBurner) later went on to be the CEO of twitter in fact.
The wealthy get a million dollars along with everyone else, and that money has to come from somewhere, so you need to tax the wealthy a lot more than a million dollars on average. Basically the way to think of it is: you're giving everyone a million dollars on average, so you need to tax everyone a million dollars on average, and the only way to make that work is to actually tax someone with, say, $5M/year in income $4M of that income to balance out the people who make only $20K/year and can't pay anywhere near their share. (That tax rate is probably impractical, but then we're looking at a pathological case for the sake of analysis anyway.)

If it's revenue neutral, then that means you're taking money from other programs - which by definition spend that money. Just on different things. (And probably a lot of the same things, if you're taking that money from existing welfare programs.)
Cool! Sounds like a fun game.

The only thing I don't understand is: Where is your portfolio when you first load the page? I wanna see how much cash I have before I enter an amount.

And maybe the "sell" buttons should be deactivated when you don't hold that currency. So on the first page load all "sell" buttons wouldn't work, because you only hold USD.
Snaps have only just recently started to "work" out of the box without requiring strange configs or failing to provide a good experience - like not showing up in menus. The last several I've installed were about 75% good. I think we're a bit away from snaps becoming the default, so I'd support apt for quite a while longer in your shoes.
You can use the Qt Quick without compiling though it slows the loading.
> Maybe the computing pie gets bigger faster than the software needs can be turned into non-programming tasks.

Most "software" needs these days are business related. Legions of engineers are just adding minute variations to the same CRUD frameworks to make slightly different products. I think the kind of programming that goes into making a CRUD startup and the kind of programming that went into making a device driver in the '80s is very, very different.
QtQuick doesn't need to be compiled. That's just an optimization. I've never used it or needed it, though admittedly I haven't worked on massive QtQuick projects.

I think the main reason that's a commercial offering is that developers of proprietary software like shipping binaries instead of human-readable QML files.
It’s because the Cambodians here are a self selected of people who were willing and able (whether money, family support, or hustling skills) to start their lives anew. The blacks are descendants of people forcefully abducted, who were selected mostly for physical traits.
You can't just take up any horrible position you feel like and require everyone to help you spread it or else they're radically left-wing. For example, I don't think YouTube is going to ban someone for suggesting that we privatize fire departments or for suggesting that universal healthcare is unworkable or for posting an impassioned defense of monarchy, even though these are ideas that radical leftists would view as terrible. As far as I can tell, the people YouTube acts against (where people see left-wing bias) aren't simply suggesting right-wing ideas, they're doing much more harmful things like promoting bigotry and harassment. You can't hide those things behind the label of "right-wing" to pretend like opposition to them is just political partisanship.
I used to wish I could publish my email correspondence as a RSS feed, to which the "recipients" could more selectively subscribe.

So they're always engaged in seeking the information they need, which is so duplicated between correspondence and emails, I could even avoid copy and paste.

This was when I didn't get funny looks for suggesting that I send a email.

Did anyone else notice how regular people seem to have been killing off email and all forms of communication that require any configuration, lately?

Creators should feel free to try and lobby YouTube to make things better for themselves (YouTube depends on creators), but please try and steer clear of things that look like entitlement. It's a bad look.

>You're leveraged 5x (say), so you get 5x as much growth. Just pulling numbers out of nowhere, let's imagine you buy a $200k house with 40k down; after ten years the house is worth a nominal $400k which is $300k in today's dollars. You've gained 100k on your initial 40k, whereas if you'd invested the $40k in the stock market at the same rate of return you'd only have made 20k.

Your numbers work out because you made them up. The obvious problems:

In most of the country, a $200K house going up to $400K in 10 years is very unlikely. I live in a hot market. I compared the inflation adjusted change in value over 20 years, and it's about 1-2% above inflation. It's unlikely your $200K home will be worth $300K in today's dollars.

The rate of return of the stock market is considerably higher than real estate (over, say, 20 years). So assuming the "same rate of return" is a really bad assumption! Even right before the crash in 2008, over a 20 year period, stocks did better than real estate. I wonder if there is any 30 year period where stocks did not do better!

I'm not in the "renting is better" camp. However, for most people, the leverage will not work out (it has for me, but I just got lucky).
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. Every project I've been part of does build a compiled binary for each supported target platform.

I'm a huge Sonic fan, so this is great to see. I stuck with them on DSL for a long time just because a) I wanted a reliable, well-supported connection more than a flaky but nominally higher speed line, and b) I hate oligopolies, and did not want to give Comcast a nickel.

Now, though, I have their gigabit fiber and it's great. Less money, same great support, and much higher speeds. I feel very lucky to live in one of the few competitive ISP markets in the country. Free markets are great when there's real competition.
Again, this is size not chemistry. 2170 (sometimes called 21700) refers to 21mm diameter, 70mm long. They can come in different chemistries.

What savings rate do you assume there? I agree the savings goal is very difficult even with ridiculously favorable assumptions! I’ve never heard of 5% yearly raises outside of the first 5-10 years of someone’s career. You’re lucky to get raises that approach inflation. And that 7% investment gain is average only if you have a very risky all-equities asset allocation the whole time you are saving. 20%? LOL.

I don’t think most people’s “retire early” savings plans/goals can survive initial contact with reality.
One should read the correspondances between Glenn Gould and Bernstein, they are very deep. There's a book I recommend that is a compilation of most of Glenn Goulds letters, they are incredibly beautifully worded.

> don't distribute via YouTube

The issue is that even if video hosting can be done 'cheaply' (and it can't if you want speed!), the ad money won't come to a self-hosted video site. Youtube advertisers pay for the large aggregated traffic. The small youtubers won't have enough to bring in the same amount of advertising dollars.

Patreon is the only real way, and even that requires a decent amount of subscribers willing to pay to make viable. Youtube is the only option, which is why the complaining from small creators are so loud right now.
I see. Yeah, I didn't understand your position from your previous comment. I still don't think I quite understand the racial angle you're playing here, because I don't think you can demonstrably separate the systemic racism (eg, drug prohibition) from the economic impact of welfare.

But I think it's reasonable to point out that this is fuzzing the price signals of the market. Generally, I don't care for government meddling in the economy for this reason - I gather that you share this view.

In order to be satisfied that the impact will be negative, though, I find myself needing to understand whether the current price signals are optimized for the most important values.

Currently, in the crony capitalist system, the scenario you describe is rampant: "Handing somebody 'free' money takes from the productive sources that earned the money and distributes it to people...". I mean, isn't this basically all defense contracting and prisons? And most finance, insurance, and real-estate?

Meanwhile, things that are unquestionable worthwhile, like art and philosophy, aren't particularly economically viable.

So how do you line up price signals with genuine value? It's a hard question. Like what I gather is your position, I am far, far more inclined to trust a free market than government. But if I'm reading your comment correctly, you seem to have a bit of a fetish for "jobs" and capitalist ambition.

I don't care whatsoever is somebody has a job. I don't think most people want jobs, and I don't think most jobs need people. The vast majority of the population can find something better to do than a menial job, and I don't think it's reasonable to suggest that they need to be "uncomfortable enough to be ambitious" as a result.

If we are able to automate many (even most) jobs out of existence, don't we want people to thrive while doing something better with their time than pumping your gas or checking you out at the store?

Not going to happen. Pakistan has been China's ally for decades. China won't break that friendship for India. India will never get into a trilateral alliance with the number of issues (terror and political) pending with Pakistan. To top it, China hasn't gotten over the fact that India gave shelter to The Dalai Lama. Then there is the Chinese ambition to take over lands, seas and oceans in and around it. China won't give up it's claim over Arunachal Pradesh, nor will it set Tibet free, nor would it destroy the CPEC that it has built through disputed territory to maintain status-quo. Too many sticking issues that cannot be resolved until and unless China let's go of it's territorial ambitions and stops backing terror sponsors in Pakistan.

Female children can be a burden in that a dowry is expected to be paid at a marriage in certain cultures and males might be expected to support the parents in certain cultures for another source of preference. There is also the culture that might prefer lineage to be passed down via males and some cultures prefer a male child to help in rural area manual labour around the home. These are mentioned in the article a bit - add to that the ability to determine the gender of a baby before birth and the ability to perform an abortion after determining gender and while technically against the rules in both nations, a gender based abortion will help create the gender imbalance. There's also a natural slight skew to having male babies among humans, it's much closer to 50/50 on conception but by birth it's not due to higher female mortality in the womb.

GPS is quite easy to jam with very low power. Something as low as 500mW could easily disrupt a fairly wide area. The reason being that GPS signals are generally already below background noise as measured from the ground.
