Exactly, and I'm not sure where people's entitlement here comes from.

American 2-BR apartments in upscale complexes are HUGE (I've seen figures as high as 1300 sq. ft), and in Europe they would easily have a 3-4 person family living in them, with more than 1 person working.
Personally I kinda like the idea of "monogamish" relationships. A couple is mostly monogamous, but once in a while has a fling, or invites a friend for a threesome. Maybe couples would do better to "play together" rather than separately?

If one partner is frequently spending the night elsewhere and the other partner is sleeping alone all these times, that seems obviously a recipe for disaster.
Not only high school students get paid minimum wage.

On minimum wage you cannot even afford a room in the bay area.

The economy is driven by demand. Economic prosperity is the result of EXACTLY the same thing that causes inflation. Dollars wanting to get spent on things that don't exist yet.

However, I will say that the problem is more easily solved by simply building more housing, but everyone who owns property resists that because shortages drive up the price of the thing they own. Imagine if there was a shortage of food, and the people with good refrigeration units and lots of stored grain were drafting and passing legislation against growing new crops. That is the housing situation in the bay area.
Conversely, you are arguing that a minimum wage worker should be able to rent a mid-range (40%) 2-bedroom apartment. Who is suppose to rent the cheaper 10-20% apartments? Why do you think the lowest 4% in wages of USA population deserve an average apartment?

Minimum skilled worker = minimum wage salary = minimum quality apartment.
Probably more of an incentive for NCO's and Officers to overclaim the results, so they look good to their superiors.
Nah it would be more like UC Berkeley, which is forbidden from using racial quotas by California law. Still less than half Asian.

In fact the Asian numbers at Berkeley are probably inflated due to Asian students being discriminated against elsewhere (like Harvard) and going to Berkeley instead, so if all the universities stopped discriminating, the numbers would average out to lower than Berkeley's current demographic.
Out of the loop here... What whistle did he blow? Anyone have a tldr?
Why are distros packaging from PyPI and not from the upstream project?
I don't agree with the person you're responding to, but to answer your question, one possibility is pressure from the competition. If, say, Burger King wants to compete with McDonalds on price, they can pay their workers less. This forces McDonald's to pay their workers less to stay competitive.

Raising the minimum wage would raise it across the board, thereby allowing McDonalds to raise prices and remain competitive.
Aren't there are exceptions? For example, a measure of health might be life expectancy. If this becomes known, is it no longer a good measure? I think it's still a good measure. I mean, how can you get to a life expectancy of 100 without a healthy population?
Oh, they copied neglecting windows from RoR? :/ That was the reason I skipped Rails back in the day.
I would say we need to redefine the idea of a city and how we live in them.
There are skills that are very valuable in society that pay very little. For example, maybe a software engineer gets married and has kids. Those kids go to school so the software engineer can go to work all day. The teachers and school staff are most likely getting paid way less than the engineer. Then one of those kids ends up with a mental health disorder or drug addiction. They see a social worker who helps them and gets paid much less than the engineer.

Then on the weekends the engineer wants to have fun with her family and goes out to eat at a fast food place, gets a lawn service so they don't need to do their own yardwork. Those people may be getting paid minimum wage.

So these people who are making the lifestyle you have possible, should not be allowed to afford a place to live because what they do is not valuable? Is that what you're saying?
The real problem with what you said is probably the visit frequency of your average Costco customer. It's not likely to be the place you go often enough to get unhealthy off the hot dogs - the whole point is stocking up on items in bulk. A hotdog a month isn't going to make you need blood pressure or cholesterol meds.
You're reading from the proposal, which is not the bridge that was built.

The bridge that they built did not use the stays as structural elements, and any vibration dampening would have been minimal, i.e., a side-effect of stiffening the bridge rather than the reason for including them.
This is probably where I should mention my two longer articles that discuss this in depth;

I was shocked when I compared cost of living and discovered various online calculators show that making $60k in Tucson, Arizona is about the same as making somewhere in the $104-140k range in the Bay Area (I'm not sure of what the different assumptions are between calculators that lead to the range, could see it be something like including Oakland vs San Rafael).
The common definition of a family, and the one referred to by the article is "a group consisting of two parents and their children living together as a unit."

Yes, it is usually by choice, because half of minimum wage earners either live with their parents or a spouse that earns more: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/typical-minimum-wage-ea...

That's what happens when you don't allow population density to grow to its equilibrium state. An overpriced, congested city, with absolutely no culture, as the only people who can justify living in SF are basically engineers, designers, and marketing people at tech companies. People living on a dime trying to do something interesting (art, tech, music, ...) is what gives cities their characters. When you take that away, you get a homogeneous group of people making between 100k and 200k a year who think about nothing other than money.
So what is the QM that is found in colliders? “When produced in a collider, quark matter typically decays within a fraction of a second into stable hadronic matter (with bound quarks).” Obviously not udQM, right?
>Except I justly compensate people for my electricity, food, and clothing. I do not steal it from them.

I didn't imply that you do steal.

Also the money is another manifestation of the society (that you apparently don't owe anything to) since the society enforces the utility and value of the money and that it can be exchanged for anything at all.

The fact that you can negotiate with them in a common currency using a common medium of exchange in a safe place is fully a manifestation of the society you live in.

>It's not "society" I owe anything to, it's the individuals I enter into voluntary contracts with

What if your plumber doesn't honor the contract? What if the electricity doesn't get connected even though you paid your money? I guess you won't complain to anybody about it right?

>To declare my sexuality or relationships are not serving "society" well enough is a criminal infringement of my freedom of association

You received your genes and your health and your welfare from "society" (and society includes your parents) you are free to do as you wish within the rules of your society. That doesn't mean you can't be considered selfish or a bad person.

You can do whatever you want to do largely within our society, but I am just calling you out on your false assertion that you don't owe society anything. Nobody can make you have kids for example, but choosing not to have them (assuming they would come out healthy) is a selfish act because you deprive the future people of the company/help/participation of those individuals you chose not to bring into the world. You benefitted from all the kids other people chose to have (all the people you enter into voluntary contracts with) but choose not to pay back by having your own who will inevitably be of benefit to others in many ways. That's my point. I and society are not compelling you to do anything, but I and also society at large can certainly comment on it.

>and no amount of populist religious zealotry will make it permissible or right.

I don't doubt it.
If he hits the $1 billion target this will be the civil engineering project of the century. It's hard to overstate just how optimistic that figure is compared to literally every other mass transit project worldwide.

The craziest part is that there is already a much cheaper and not that much slower option to get to the airport. This project seems rather Quixotic.
That seems to happen in all wars. Aircraft downed and tanks destroyed in WWII, for example.

There were occasions in the Vietnam War where regions were declared to be free fire zones, and everyone within was to be killed, down to the last child and granny.
It's not hyperbole. If you're not allowed to hold a job because you're female, how is that much better than slavery?
I mean, I've literally seen it. If you have to pay rent for office space anyway, it might as well go back to you. And I'm sure there'd be internal issues at the fund if someone was doing this and charging above market rates, but otherwise, what's the harm?
I think it's very important to note that the entire purpose of minimum wage, per FDR, who instituted it, is to ensure it's enough to support an entire family of four on only one income earner alone, above merely sustenance levels, and allow them not only to rent but to own a home. And by that metric, we've horribly failed as a country.

“By living wages, I mean more than a bare subsistence level — I mean the wages of a decent living.” (1933, Statement on National Industrial Recovery Act)

The tech gravy train won't last forever –everyone, us tech workers included, will be better off from advocating for fairer wages, even if that means taking a pay cut in the meantime. Otherwise I fear the extreme wealth gap will bring upon a new Gilded Age worse than the one pre-1929. And we all know how that turned out...

Figure out your housing budget, go on craigslist or another roommates website, and see what's available in that range.

If there are 10,000 people who want a 2-br apartment at $500/month, but only 1000 apartments, where will the other 9000 go?

Let's say we'll even construct the apartments for them, but that will take time. Where will they live during construction?
Except it's a really good joke.
> At what point do we collectively decide, you know what, this is ridiculous.

When tech workers get over their “I simply MUST live in the Bay Area, ugh, anywhere else is simply unliveable” mindset that in turn drives companies to concentrate in said area.
Depends what music you listen to. If you listen to smaller artists on videos that have under 1 million or 100k views you will see many more high effort comments talking about the band/band members or about their experience with the music.

e.g. "I got a chance to see these guys live in October, and [insert band member here] is actually a really cool guy. Talked to him afterwards and shared [so and so interaction]"

e.g. "This song was actually inspired by [such and such random factoid]"

e.g. "This song reminds me of my mom"
For what it’s worth, I’m poly and I disagree with that characterization. Polyamorous relationships are held to a different standard.

A monogamous relationship where everyone isn’t having their needs met can continue in perpetuity, for one reason or another. Such a polyamorous relationship is more unstable and likely to end more swiftly and decisively. It’s possible to see that as a good thing.

(If you buy this reading, “open relationships hurt marriages” isn’t a story about failing poly relationships, it’s a story about monogomous relationships that already failed without anyone noticing.)
That's often helpful, but not sufficient in general. See the dynamics discussed in my article here; https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.04585
I agree. Adults have free will. I cringe though every time I see an adult feed their kids such nasty disease forming foods. Borderline child abuse.
It could be non-stable udQM. Not all udQM is stable.
This headline is misleading: the actual article's headline is "Ex-Employee Says Tesla Broke Law With Mass Layoffs".
That's a good consideration, but you're forgetting about the part-timers & the unemployed.

I'm not arguing that minimum wage should merit a 2br. I'm just challenging the notion that it shouldn't. There seems to be a sort of, "if you don't work hard and make lots of money, you don't deserve good things", built into that notion. When really, there's not exactly an intrinsic reason why a 2br is too good for a minimum wage worker.

If it's a tight city with high demand and not enough housing, sure, competition for scarce 2br is intense. But if there is plenty of space & housing, why not? SF is a microcosm, most of the country is not like that.
> How do you identify individuals who are "most likely to do stuff that contributes positively to society"?

I think the basic things to look for are people who have some combination of:

- Basic awareness of what's going on locally, nationally, and around the world, and the problems that society faces.

- Technical skills (e.g. math, science, the active literacies, etc.)

- Interpersonal skills, leadership ability, grit, resourcefulness, and other positive personality traits.

- Passion of certain hobbies, interests, problems, etc.

- Track record of success in one or more areas.

- Culture literacy

In other words, leaving aside the issue of whether or not they're using these criteria as a way to discriminate, what Harvard is ostensibly looking for today.

> How do you define "positively to society"?

That's really up to the school faculty. Each person's definition is going to be different, and you can't really impose something on people from on high.

Big reddit post from the developer here: https://www.reddit.com/r/CopperheadOS/comments/8oq1l3/cos_fu...

It seems there was a falling out between the developer and CEO over how the business was run - the CEO wanted to license Android security improvements to others, the developer wanted to go make custom hardware and sell secure devices with an entirely non-Linux based stack that still could run Android apps.

Seems like reddit has now suspended the developers account, likely due to threats of a libel lawsuit from the CEO... seems like a really bad move on reddit's part, but they're no strangers to bad moves in my book.
Not if you're doing it on your own hardware, on your own time, outside of work hours
Coming from someone not in the bay area the most expensive place I've ever lived was outside of Boston (Waltham) and even then it was a summer sublet. Why is housing so expensive, more importantly why are landlords allowed to adjust their prices so aggressively and based on some anecdotal evidence seen in this thread, randomly? I'm currently locked into a lease and I'm 95% sure the price is pay is what im locked into for a full year, but are landlords really raising prices monthly?

I've never had no sales but have had some products that were low volume. They have always been a useful learning experience, either from a technology or business perspective.
While the high engineering costs are definitely comical, wasn't Juicero's failure because nobody wanted their revenue-driving product, the juice bags? Seems like a $600 device could still be profitable (and subsidized) if the core revenue driver was viable.
That's surprising to me -- Craigslist shows a number of 1BR places around Oakland in the $1500-$2000 range. Which is still crazy expensive in an absolute sense, granted, but should be reasonably affordable for a single person with a 6-figure income.
I always assumed stores were blocking cell signal (or certainly not doing anything to improve it, like installing LTE repeaters), to prevent you from going on Amazon and finding cheaper alternatives.
The NYC subway became unprofitable due to the terrible contracts that the operators signed.[0] Specifically they could not increase the fare greater than five cents, which doomed them because of inflation. The city took over the BMT and IRT companies on June 1st 1940. Suburbanization did not really start occurring in the US until after the end of WW2.

That is odd take-away from graph that shows suicide problem being rather small among females - and going up at exactly same time as when males suicide went up. Also while males suicides went up more. With both genders coinciding with bad economy.

Nevertheless, the youth is not still overall better behaved then previous generations, for all the complaining about social media.

Frankly, it just seems that you hate women so much, that you don't see man standing next to her who clearly need more help.
"To remedy the situation, the coalition urges Congress to invest in housing assistance."

Of course their answer is federal subsidies. Never mind that regulations can be passed at the local level to ameliorate the situation -- without costing the government a cent -- by allowing for more housing construction. With interest groups like these we'll never get anywhere.

The easiest scapegoat in software history: the previous developer(s).

The same dev(s) that allowed the place to run with all the long hours and the most check-ins, are the cause of all the woes when the next dev(s) take over (usually to justify a version 2).

The second easiest scapegoat: third parties, component builders and providers.

All of these can be attributed to Not invented here (NIH) syndrome. [1]

Devs always know more about a system they themselves worked on, and noone wants to be liable for a system that they didn't build that can have hidden gotchas simply because it was NIH.

At every iteration in every single system, even outside of software (you can see this in generations and politics), each iteration teaches lessons and uncovers unknown problems or creates them. Many times this is no fault of the creators but the simple iteration attempt progressed knowledge enough to be able to learn about a new problem that could not be found without said iteration/advancement. In this sense iterations and different teams aren't bad, but they will always blame the former because it uncovered new problems, which is ultimately a gift to solutions and progression.

New problems create new solutions which are what we call progression and innovation, and the next in line should be happy those problems were found that they can solve, for they themselves will eventually be providing this service to those after them.

Sounds like it would scale horribly compared to actual mass transit, though. The amount of space taken up per passenger would be huge if you use cars.

Google Docs hasn't had a real upgrade since 2005 because they are stuck in callback hell and don't know how to do maintenance on the code.
The difference is much much greater than that if you have a family and are looking to buy a House in the bay area with a decent size back yard. In most parts of the country you can do that on a houshold income of about 40k to 100k.

In the bay area penninsula, currently, you would need an income of about 600K in order to get the same type of house and yard combination (which would roughly cost 2M to 3M). And that's with the vast majority of your income going towards paying off that mortgage AND property taxes.
Hmm. Why “flaw”?

To my mind, it’s just reality.

Relationships take work. Intimate relationships take more work. Having a greater quantity of relationships takes more work.

Now, as it happens, I tend to believe that human relationships are the reason to be alive, so I think it’s good for humans to put lots of work into relationships and community (of any sort, regardless of levels of physical intimacy).
Nothing will be left here but ruins.
It is not unlike Prime Video and Prime Music (among others). When you run a membership program you create offers that increase the perceived value of the membership and engagement with your ecosystem. Similar is Costco gas, people wouldn’t drive out of their way for the discount if they didn’t already pay the membership. And while you are there you might as well pick up four times the bread you need, more milk than you consume in a week, a new camera (that was probably cheaper online), and a hot dog on your way out. Getting the value out of that $100 membership leads people to consume far more than they normally would.
That is a huge misconception. Many people use Costco as a frequent take out food place. Pizza and hotdogs. In my kids class alone I know of several parents who often pass by Costco on the way from school to feed kids dinner there. It's done far more often than you think.

CopperheadOS was spearheaded by two people (to my understanding): the founder, and the lead developer. They had a falling out. The developer felt that the founder had compromised their ideals in order to make money (how this was done has not been detailed). The founder told the developer that he's out. The developer, in turn, deleted the signing keys so that no new software can be published under the CopperheadOS name.

The developer alleges now that the founder has gotten Reddit to delete his (the developer's) account.
