Which social services to use as a safety net are you talking about? Because it is not Medicaid:

"In order to get Medicaid and CHIP coverage, many qualified non-citizens (such as many LPRs or green card holders) have a 5-year waiting period. This means they must wait 5 years after receiving "qualified" immigration status before they can get Medicaid and CHIP coverage. There are exceptions. For example, refugees, asylees, or LPRs who used to be refugees or asylees don’t have to wait 5 years."

Unemployment benefits? You have to pay into it to get money out of it. Same as everyone else.

Emergency treatment at a hospital? I don't see a difference between citizens and immigrants.

I would really like to know where that free money is I hear so much about.
One of the best books I ever read was "Stop Acting Rich" by Thomas Stanley. It was the follow up book to Millionaire Next Door.

The main argument is that almost anyone can become a "simple" millionaire through frugality and--most importantly--avoiding trying to emulate the consumption patterns of the "glittering rich" (e.g. decamillionaires and those described in the article).

Combine living below your means with an in-demand skill, a healthy stoic outlook (learn to love what you already have), and you'll have a great shot at financial independence.
meh. my side project turned into a venture-backed startup. Am I allowed to call myself an entrepreneur now?
On the contrary. That was Qualcomm perhaps you read about.
The cost of living a reasonable low-risk life certainly goes up every year. If you want to send a kid to college, be able to pay for any emergency medical expenses (like cancer), and retire - you probably need to have a lot more than a million dollars in the bank (along with good health insurance, etc). And if you're not also earning a lot every year, just the cost to live in a non-rural area will probably eat that money up in the span of a few years by itself.

Even undramatically, suppose a family want to have a nice house in the centre of a big popular city, have a couple of Teslas, give two children private education debt-free to graduation, go on five-star holidays for a month a year, and have pensions that enable them to maintain this lifestyle, that's probably more than half the $25m right there. And it doesn't even look all that extravagant.
To me, that one was the most striking. It shows how widespread data sharing is. In the end to whom did they NOT sell user data?

It's worth noting that GDPR applies to EU citizens regardless of where they happen to be in the world (or if they're using a proxy), so an IP ban does absolutely nothing to help comply with the law.

Your car perhaps, but probably not your software - check the EULA (it is an issue that bugs me too - I am offering this in way of explanation, not justification.)

The clause is probably there because Tesla wants to become the self-driving Uber, and it cannot (even if it wanted to) limit the restriction to corporations because, as we know, Uber does not have drivers or cars.
Misleading title and article premise.

As mentioned in the article itself, $25M is currently an approximate treshold where certain bankers define you as "ultra-high net worth". Which sounds reasonable to me.

That is not economy-class anything by any common definition of the term.
It's hard to believe that you've never heard or seen anything that was not 100% about trying to make people better. (pay-for-delay, Valeant, evergreening, Theranos, citizen's petitions, Shkreli, off-label promotion, Insys, medicare fraud, Paxil, kickbacks...)
I'd go further..

When a chemical that you were dosed with, and willingly did not and would never take, is determined that it made you do erratic and/or dangerous behavior, should the courts find you at fault?

It's different when you willingly take a drug (eg: meth) and you end up hurting or killing someone on it. You chose to take the drugs which lead to violence.

I know of nobody who willingly doses Pb.

The direct use of compressed air is interesting. Taking it to the extreme, you could have compressed air as your primary utility piped through your home, and have appliances that run off compressed air. Refrigeration cycle is compression based anyway for example. You would still need some electricity for control circuits for example, but you might be able to keep the heavy lifting air-based.

Unfortunately my team is not (we are based in the midwest and east coast). If the company ever decides to allow remote positions, I could reach out, but I don't want to inflate any hopes -- they aren't very open minded about it. LA has a lot going for it -- I'm always saddened to hear stories about a dearth of tech opportunities there.
I agree, software that is designed for users must be tested as soon as possible.

Humans are notoriously bad predictors. For example; That fancy menu system you spent a week making might be completely useless to most users, simple user feedback could have prevented the colossal waste of time...
Not Arm, but Qualcomm. It was also a strange and sudden decision. I don't think they really wanted to do it, but might have been forced to do it by the circumstances: anti-trust lawsuits, Apple dumping them, Broadcom attempting a hostile takeover, U.S. government pressuring them not to sell to Broadcom no matter what, etc.

One or all of these may have forced Qualcomm to cut its losses. Either way, I hope they get to sell the Centriq line to some other company that can provide competition to both Cavium and Intel/AMD/IBM in the server space. We need more than one Arm chip to compete in the space, otherwise Cavium's chip could also be seen as some kind of outlier and be ignored by the industry.
Might be a good thing...
The true measure of wealth should be, are you financially independent? Meaning, could you never do wage work again in your life and never have to worry about money? By my calculations that would be in the area of a few million dollars, invested in some bonds, living purely off the interest forever.
Baseline cholesterol levels are genetically determined, it's true, but diet is far from irrelevant. A cholesterol-rich diet can easily push your overall cholesterol level above that baseline into the danger zone. This has been verified in numerous gold standard direct intervention studies. Anecdotally I have several friends that have brought high cholesterol levels down through diet far enough that they didn't have to take statins.

Most of the studies that have claimed to show that diet doesn't raise cholesterol have involved populations of people that already have abnormally high cholesterol from a bad diet (i.e. the typical American).

Important points summarized here:

In the US, the term working class is a pretty big misnomer, enough so to cause misunderstandings.

To my mind, someone in the working class should be someone who works for a living.
It would have been cool to see a discussion about algorithmic solutions, rather than solutions based on tools like MySQL.

There are three basic approaches: sort and remove duplicates (the original bash script); insert all items into a set (e.g. hash table) that only keeps unique copies, and count its size; or probabilistic solutions like Count-Min-Sketch or HyperLogLog. But the problem with the latter is that they are approximate, which doesn't sound ideal when billing customers.

The problem with both of the first two approaches is that they require all items to be stored in memory at the same time. As long as that's true, either the sort or hashtable approach will work fine. But once you run out of RAM on a single machine, it's going to slow way way down as it swaps to and from disk constantly.

To me, the natural solution is to just split the dataset alphabetically into, say, 10 or 100 equal-size jobs, and run these either sequentially or in parallel on 10 or 100 machines. So for example if the unique IDs are random strings of digits, then everything starting with 00 is in the first job, everything starting with 01 is in the second, up to 99. For each job, apply either the sort or the set approach; shouldn't matter much.

(edit) For example, here's sequential pseudocode; the second step is embarrassingly parallel.

# split the records
for each record in records_list:
prefix := record[0:2]
write record to file "records"+prefix

# count
total = 0
for each records_prefix_file:
initialize hash_table
for each record in this records_prefix_file:
insert record into hash_table, ignoring if already present
total += size of hash_table

(second edit) I'm a theorist, not a practicioner, so I'm ignoring many practical issues about where to store and back up the data, etc.

I hate this shit. It's kind of unbelievable that this kind of wealth concentrated with such few people is allowed to exist.

If it could realistically be capped at, say, $10mil or something, why not?

Nobody needs more than that. Yes, you could say the same for one million or a hundred, but you have to start somewhere. It makes me sick that this is the society we live in.

This pathetic striving for maximum wealth, in an eternal competition over who has a bigger ficitious number attached to their family emblem, no matter what the societal, ethical and global consequences, is close to the root of all evil in my opinion.
Now if I could just get Siri to navigate with google maps...
Yeah, but of all the actors in the system, they’re the ones in a position to do something. It’s like making banks responsible for fraudulent credit card purchases.
It certainly is related. One core argument is that the vast majority of currently stored personal data has no good reason whatsoever to be there, the company should not be collecting, using and storing any personal data.

If half of the companies remove that private data which they shouldn't have, then that will reduce the impact of breaches, as there'll be twice less breaches where's something sensitive to leak.

> Almost any electrical appliance can be adapted to work off of alternate power, such as compressed air. Some Amish women have been using compressed air to power blenders in the kitchen for years. In one house, compressed air powers a water pump, sewing and washing machines, and drills and saws in the shop. Some Amish businesses have as their specialty adapting such appliances so they can be powered by compressed air.
Things rich people like to do with large amounts of money:

- Housing. Multiple dwellings around the world. A penthouse in London, a villa on the southern coast of France, etc.

- Travel. No more sitting in an Uber or public transit on your way to economy class travel. Helicopter from nearest helipad to small private plane equipped with chef and luxurious sleeping quarters.

- Collecting. Buying (expensive) things that you like. Art, cars, horses, stamps, etc.

- Entrepreneurship/Investing. Buying up cash-flow generating assets like companies or land w/ natural resources. Investing or starting companies in potentially risky areas like spaceflight or human life extension that most people wouldn't do if their main goal was to get rich to begin with.

- Philanthropy. Support your causes of choice. Also a good way to keep the non-extremely-high-earning spouse busy in the event that they don't want to keep working.

- Politics. With super PACs unlimited money can go in to the political system. Usually this is done in tasteful amounts of a few million here or there to retain some influence but some people make this their main goal (Mercer family, Tom Steyer, Kochs, etc.)

- Legacy. Structuring trusts and other legal structures (potentially offshore) to ensure that the wealth is multigenerational. It can be possible to guarantee that your offspring 1-4 generations out will live comfortable lives.
That one's more interesting because under the new regime, consent means meaningful, genuine consent. Demanding consent for one purpose in return for providing something important but unrelated is one of the big no-nos.

I agree with the overall feeling of your reply, but let's not fall in the opposite trap to paint a proletarian view of the working class either. The amount of iPhones out there in developed countries is a good indication that a good chunk of the working class has no problem shelling hundreds of dollars on expensive hardware on top of paying their rent.
I thought I heard something flying overhead.
Maybe so, but that doesn't really address the concern.
Liberty is good too, although it's more civ dependent, and is basically a "win more" button for civs like Russia who can manage to get an aggressive start. Honor is also useful as a "I'm right next door to Mongolia and Arabia and I'd like the have a slim chance of actually being allowed to play". Other than that you are mostly right of course, the default choice is definitely trad, and piety is unusable. I'd say given a random civ you are probably going to go trad/lib/hon/pie 75/20/5/0 percent of the time.

Everything is, there was a big deal here in the Netherlands about the local governments having to be compliant as well. The first thing that the dutch agency will check (no fines, but just make sure) is that each municipality has things set up properly.

On top of that, I don't think there's anything in the GDPR limiting it to internet related things, so brick & mortar stores will have to be compliant as well, afaik.
Working class doesn’t inherently mean a shitty job. Some plumbers and carpenters and contractors are making tons of money, even more than developers sometimes.

What we all have in common is that we must continue to work to live.
It's always worth remembering that the $180k a year developers are the exceptions, not the rule. I know of more than a few developers who make around $30-$50k a year (not in SV, and not attached to software dev houses), and many top end developers in Europe struggle to break $100k.

Physical injury is not a pre-requisite to doing "real work" that defines a "working class". Given how prevalent software development rolls are (it's eclipsing truck driving in many US states), a "developer" is certainly not mutually exclusive with "working class".
Ah, so there is a difference. Thank you for clarifying.

I wish I had phrased my post as a question - as a statement it seems rather unpopular...
> with each other than we do with the financially independent.

By that logic only the 0.001% is not working class. That's a little far-fetched.
Not to be nitpicky but you can do a European vacation with first class airfare when you make much less than a million dollars a year in income. Two people NYC to London 6/18-25 is $10,200 for airfare. Assume that everything else you do costs 2x that much if you're going all out (the few times I've purchased first class tickets, that cost has ended up being 50% or more of the entire trip). You're still at $30k for a vacation, which is an astounding amount of money to spend on a week for sure. But at the same time, if you make $250k a year and this is a special event, 10th/20th/30th anniversary, big birthday event, etc, it's not outside the realm of possibilities to spend 2 months salary on something like that.

Obviously you still need to save and plan it, and if you're making $1 million a year you can probably spend $30k without thinking about it. But just wanted to point out that it's doable.

As for the $80k study you're mentioning I've seen numbers all over the place, from $70k up to $105k, but I've definitely noticed the satisfaction from each raise has decreased even while the raw dollar amounts have gone up. The last raise I got only served to go toward paying down debts faster, which I can attest makes me very happy.
I think there's also a sizable number of companies that basically were already compliant... but aren't sure. It's not like you can submit your processes to the EU for approval. You don't actually know if what you're doing is OK unless, some day, a regulator decides it isn't.

There will probably be court cases over this.

At one time automakers tried to say if you used third party oil filters or other parts, or if anyone other than the dealer did work, then your warranty was void. That didn't hold up.

Publishers tried to say that you could not re-sell books and recordings and software media after you purchased them. That didn't hold up.

Not sure that this will hold up either.
One caveat though is that in many situations, there is a lot of bureaucracy and overhead involved with collecting and interpreting user feedback. User feedback is often inconsistent and contradictory, influenced by mistakes in survey design, influenced by time-varying factors. And once it is collected, a lot of different stakeholders inside the company will have conflicting incentives about what the feedback is supposed to mean for priorities and decisions.

In some cases, if someone has a very highly developed sense of aesthetics and design, or can extrapolate from previous user feedback scenarios, then they might be able to come up with designs that users will love even if users wouldn't have thought of it that way ahead of time, or if more generic feedback would never have collated down into actionable decisions that empowered that particular designer.

As I've gone on in my career, I tend to see the value of this more and more, and lose faith that feedback collection mechanisms won't be politically subverted.

One example: I'd say a lot of the feedback about the principal lines of work for TensorFlow from the recent dev summit is wrong-headed, and they should just let Francois Chollet's design aesthetic motivate what gets worked on and how it gets designed, for a while.
