Well then you'd need to balance that against all the new cars that Uber and Lyft drivers lease to support themselves. Cars that might have sat rusting on the lot while reasonable consumers chose to buy more affordable pre-owned vehicles.

Creating a market for new cars only ensures that new cars will continue to be produced in high volume.

Well, I guess it depends on each person's experience. but according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_d..., US has the most immigrants at 46 million, next closest is Germany at 12 million and Russia at 11 million.

If you can find it, listen to the original version of the Dire Straits album "Dire Straits" -- Then listen to it with volume normalization.

Dynamic range is good...
Not the original poster, but in C++ you would be using a container, likely a vector so the internal data could move, but because the container is updated the caller can be unaware.

The abstraction leaks a bit. The result of a data() or c_str() call cannot be trusted after the vector is manipulated.

When passing a vector by reference to another function you effectively get a double pointer (abstracted behind a reference and a container) so the inner one can be moved.

I'm not familiar with go, but if it is like C in this respect append would have been clearer with a double pointer and no return value.
My projects are very hard to budget and schedule accurately, especially to the degree they involve skilled labor, and my projects tend to be much smaller than NASAs, with far less cutting edge tech and development and with much less demanding requirements.

Can any large organization reliably and accurately budget, schedule, and then implement large, complex projects? Which ones? How do they do it?
My thoughts too, and the article sort of says this at the end.

If the worry is that future migrants might not pay their way, why not charge them more for visas, or make them pay extra taxes, or restrict their access to welfare benefits? Such levies could also be used to regulate the flow of migrants, thus avoiding big, sudden surges.

This is what the US does right now through the lottery system but it's just so restricted that no one in their right mind could call the US borders "open".
> We actually do celebrate athletes' physical sacrifices.

I'm not certain that's quite accurate. It seems that what's celebrated are their accomplishments and "sacrifices" in the sense of effort and self-denial, but not injuries.

The sentiment around brain injuries that professional boxers (and, more recently, American Football players) suffer from isn't what I would characterize as celebratory, for example.

Even temporary injuries can be met with disdain by fans of team sports, as it could take the whole team out of the running for that entire season.

However, I'm far from intimately familiar with athletics, so I'd genuinely welcome being shown counter-examples.
Actually, I'm not wrong. Have you looked at the title of this thread or the article? Both are heavily focused on GDPR. He has commented here that he meant it more broadly, but the article and the title both are heavily focused on GDPR. I'm not sure how anyone could question that, the text is there for everyone to read.

The downvote issue stems from threads about GDPR. There are many GDPR zealots on here, some of whom have bookmarked my comments page and downvote every comment I make because I have been critical of it. So each and every comment starts off with 3-4 downvotes, regardless of content (including this one, within about 30 seconds).
Could be a number of legitimate reasons, do you have previous experiences of your managers lying to you about things to make you not trust them about this or is it just normal start-up paranoia?

The cost of most things has plummeted since 50 years ago which, arguably, improves people's lives.

This conclusion is amazing! Finally we have a study that says hiring good teachers does not matter. And that going to teaching school to become a better teacher is not important!

If this conclusion is correct, teachers can be replaced low wage unskilled laborers!

This (possibly MotherJones simplified) conclusion must clearly be bogus. Perhaps I should take a look at the actual study, because this article is terrible.

I think it's fairly safe to say that steam engines revolutionised society (the industrial revolution and all that), arguably more so than those engines that replaced it.
A side note, Europeans have a less strict attitude towards borders (I mean once you are a citizen :-)). You can easily find yourself in another country just because of a wrong turn. Or like when I was in Norway, we would go grocery shopping to Sweden. Germans go for haircuts to Poland. Swedes go for alcohol to Denmark. Even between the ex-SFRY countries (except Croatia and Slovenia) the border passes are a formality, no passport needed for the residents.
I would find it hilarious if they put these data centers on foreign soil so information can't be legally retrieved in some circumstances.
That’s how interviews used to be.

FOX News pioneered the interview where the interviewer spends most of the time talking, asking leading questions to the respected person they invited, then cutting them off, shouting them down and attacking them for being socialist or whatever. And on to the next.

It’s more like watching gladiator fights than really learning people’s answers to questions.
Except for 100+ years the line was mostly imaginary. There are towns that cross the border. The idea that we need such border security is laughable and a flimsy excuse for expansion of government powers.
"Reverse Adaptation" is maybe close -- see Langdon Winner's book "Autonomous Technology: Technics-out-of-control as a Theme in Political Thought (1978)".

A (partial) summary of the term reverse adaptation is here by someone else:
https://anarcho-primitive.blogspot.com/2012/08/reverse-adapt...
"Technology structures our lives in ways that accommodate its own operative requirements. Langdon Winner called this reverse adaptation. Technologies start out serving specific human ends or addressing a highly circumscribed set of problems. But once they come into being, they shape human thought and activity in ways that conform to the structure and organization of the technology itself. The technological solution becomes a way of reframing the original problem, and features of the original problem that do not correspond to the technological solution are ignored or redefined."

But that summary doesn't quite capture everything Langdon Winner talked about -- since he does go into how most institutions become self-perpetuating (or try to).

To me, it is also an evolutionary issue -- that we tend to only come across institutions with some sort of equivalent of a survival drive and the means to carry out that drive. I rambled further on that theme in this post:
https://www.dougengelbart.org/colloquium/forum/discussion/01...
"Evolution can be made to work in positive ways, by selective breeding, the same way we got so many breeds of dogs and cats. How can we intentionally breed "nice" corporations that are symbiotic with the humans that inhabit them? To what extent is this happening already as talented individuals leave various dysfunctional, misguided, or rogue corporations (or act as "whistle blowers")? I don't say here the individual directs the corporation against its short term interest. I say that individuals affect the selective survival rates of corporations with various goals (and thus corporate evolution) by where they choose to work, what they do there, and how they interact with groups that monitor corporations. To that extent, individuals have some limited control over corporations even when they are not shareholders. Someday, thousands of years from now, corporations may finally have been bred to take the long term view and play an "infinite game". "

The late Prof. James R. Beniger (lucky to have had him as a professor in college) had an interesting book that explores an example in the area of self-perpetuating professional networks:
"Trafficking in Drug Users"
https://www.amazon.com/Trafficking-Drug-Users-Professional-S...
"Examines the way in which the complex network of organizations and professions required for the control of social deviance coordinated their activities to solve the "drug problem" of the 1960s. Beniger demonstrates that incentives used to encourage law enforcement officials to control deviance actually fostered a desire to perpetuate drug abuse in return for various rewards."

I wouldn't say so. Going remote has many benefits and can unlock a lot of flexibility for the team which can result in a higher quality of life for everyone. Going remote alone isn't a red flag. Many successful companies are remote - Zapier, GitLab, Chargify, Aha! Buffer, etc.

If you're concerned about anything I recommend you ask your manager and/or the CEO directly.

Borders are, & have always been, fundamentally open, because it's a plain physical (biological) reality that H. sapiens is a resourceful, migratory species. Erection of walls and legions of petty border-guarding popinjays is no more than a can-kicking exercise, a waste of time & resources analogous to those squandered pretending that climate change requires little response. You either face physical reality, or exert tremendous material effort on crass denial. Story-based entities (cultures, businesses, nations) are necessary but in the end, they are only temporary tactical fictions. They supervene on physical reality and when they attempt to deny it, will be swept away.
I feel like the real problem is in how we measure teachers. It shouldn't be about how well the students do, it should be about how well the students do relative to expectations.

Imagine a school in a well-to-do area where we expect all the students to do well and get A+'s. If an entire class of students gets A- on a standard test, that means the teacher actually negatively impacted the students. But because they all got A-, we reward the teacher for having done such a great job.

I propose this: for each student, far ahead of time, guess how well they're going to do on a standardized test based on previous tests, family situation, zip code they live in, etc. Predict based on all the things other than the teacher. Now measure a teacher on how well they did compared to expectations.

To do even better, don't rate teachers based on how well the students do on the test the same year they teach them, but rate them based on the following 3 years. Now you're asking what the long term impact the teacher has on students, on average. That's a useful measure to pay bonuses on.

The problem is that politically, it's hard to explain to the general public (or to politicians).

Numbers aren't the inherent problem, the problem is which numbers you use. GDP is among the worst choices for which numbers to evaluate.

GDP growing is NOT a good thing per se. It does a mix of capturing how much productivity is being commercialized (if we all paid our neighbors to do our household chores, GDP would double or something instantly with zero productivity gain), how much pay is going to non-productive or even counterproductive work (see the phenomenon of bullshit jobs^1) and ignoring externalities (growth in fossil fuel extraction and consumption, for example is overall negative for society).

It's not useful to even assume that GDP growth correlates with positive economic status in measures we actually want (i.e. measurements of overall long-term prosperity)

> the sensibilities of early 20th century Europe

These are the sensibilities that led to the two worst wars in world history, that gave birth to both Nazism (and other fascists) and Bolshevik totalitarian Communism, that produced millions of people (in Germany, Russia, Eastern European countries, France, and more) who participated in or stood by while tens of millions were murdered in German-controlled territory and were starved in Ukraine?

All those people were the products of the 'sensibilities' of early 20th century Europe. By the standards of some, the U.S. should never have let any emigrate.
I like to judge people on how they treat their guests; same for countries.

This paranoia, suspicion and lack of hospitality is telling. I mean, its not unreasonable for a jogger to not have ID with them, and its not unreasonable for a jogger to get confused there (more so for a foreign jogger).

All this drama, misunderstanding, and costs on society could've been avoided if the US border patrol contacted Canada before throwing this 19 year old French woman in jail for 2 (!!) weeks. Meanwhile, that border patrol could've potentially caught real criminals.
But this isn't changing the dynamic range. It's not normalizing the song on it's own. It's normalizing the with regard to the rest of the musical catalogue, which simply amounts to turning the volume down a certain amount on the whole song. So, to repeat, that changes noting about the dynamic range of the song.

In fact, if music producers stopped trying to make their music so loud, there would be more room for dynamic range in the music. The goal of this site seems to be that they wouldn't mix a whole song to be top volume, since it won't play any louder most places anyway. This in turn could lead to the return of using more dynamic range. I have my doubts that this will actually happen.
A lot of how we “got to here” has to do with being all the was left after WWII. Trying to pretend like all the things you advocate for are the reasons for prosperity is silly. Your statement is basically, “things are good now and they are good because <insert political platform>”

There are other periods of time that have been as good or better with a different political platform. In the 1950s (when America was “great”) the top tax rate was 90%.

Federal politics and the economy are linked, but not 1:1 and the net impact of changes to federal law often isn’t felt for years or decades (if at all).

My understanding is that the rule put a maximum volume in place for shows. An average show will run the gamut, and may only hit the upper limit once or twice (for example during some action or music sequence). Commercials are engineered to be as close to the upper limit as possible for their entire duration. It doesn't matter that there's an upper limit to the volume, because it sounds relatively much louder than whatever was on just before it, and it sounds as loud as the loudest most exciting and dramatic bits of the show.
