People seem to have an interesting psychology around perceiving government spending, as if their tax dollars are going 1:1 into a specific thing. Looking at a welfare recipient and thinking "they're taking my tax money" vs "they're taking 0.000000x% of my tax money".

But, I agree about income taxes in general as a tax on high income labor, not the wealthy.

To answer question 1: Everybody who invested in the US stock market over the last 140 years.
Most firefighters in the US are volunteer, so not enough pride to pay people to do it.

Having a volunteer fire department does not mean there isn't pride.

In fact, it can be argued the opposite -- Volunteer departments mean the citizens take enough pride in their brigade that they get directly involved in it, rather than farming it out as a civil service.

"...can you assault one without some sort of trumped up federal charge?..."

???

Genuinely curious here, if a person assaults someone who works for the federal government, (or even the local government for that matter), and they charge him/her for that assault...

is that charge really "trumped up"?

I thought that there were actually laws against that?

Isn't "trumped up" when you DON'T actually assault the federal or local government person and they SAY that you did in order to charge you with a crime?

> If a developer doesn't check for a null value, are you really going to head to the documentation to find out why?

Yes. I often write code in a way such that no null is checked. But if I do so, I always document it properly and my reasoning why, if the function is used properly, no null will be passed.

This way, you can be sure that if a null is dereferenced, not my function is the source of the bug, but a function that does not obey the pre-invariants that my function imposes on its parameters.

So you know that you are not supposed to "fix" this bug by introducing a null check to my function, but instead fix the bug in the other function that calls mine.

The Arcadia Programming Language: Part I
a retired police officer once told me that the quantity of officers citywide goes through a repeated cycle from low to high to low again.

when the number of officers is too low and there's too much crime, the people demand that the government hire more.

so government does that. and crime goes down.

then the public notices all these police officers "doing nothing" and complains about wasted government resources.

so, naturally, they demand a reduction in the number of officers.

and so it goes...

This looks nice enough. It may be worth mentioning that the real challenge for creating a generalized pipeline is rarely the control flow. Usually performance is not achieved due to; poor intermediate data locality, poor system utility balancing.

Unless pipeline code has the ability to match estimated job utility to device capabilities - it won't be useful in many non trivial cases.

Unless there is an automated way to store intermediate assets such that data locality between stages is (at least somewhat) optimal, significant amounts of all time will be spent in process migration.
The stockpile is "tiny" so I guess it doesn't really matter unless they are running low on material.
Russia pursues Jehovah's Witnesses as 'extremists'
I recently started taking notes in markdown. I previously had notes scattered across txt files, Word docs, ColorNote, and emails to myself.

I take journal-type notes about personal things, and I demand that I have them available conveniently decades from now. I strongly prefer a dark theme. I was going to jump ship entirely to OneNote, but I can't get a dark theme on Desktop and mobile.

Moving to markdown has tremendous benefits. You have proper separation of concerns- "how do I edit on X platform" vs "how do I store my notes".

For storage, I've considered a git repo, but I'm using Dropbox for now. It has 30 day history, so I can correct for any mistake I'd care about.

For editing, I pick an editor on my current platform. Atom on Desktop. IA writer on Android.

I don't currently have great search, but I think I can do that with Dropbox. I'm more concern about future-proofing and dark theme.

Assault/battery are state law crimes or civil torts. But 18 USC 111 makes it a federal crime to assault any federal employee (not just law enforcement officers) in the performance of her duties. Presumably, OP is referring to the idea that having special laws to make assault a federal, rather than state, crime is "trumped up."

This is still a declarative language, just with the algorithms spelled out explicitly. (or some algorithms, as you didn't specify it for the join).

However, I think specifying the algorithms in the queries is really not a good idea. Your performance characteristics can change over time (or you might now know them at all yet when you start the project). With your solution, if you, e.g. realize later that it makes sense to add a new index, you'd have to rewrite every single query to use that index. With SQL, you simply add the index and are done.

I'm not sure of an exact name for that but what you're describing can be considered the theory of marginal productivity[1].

Your argument that the 10% cost in labor (to hire those 100 extra workers) is where the additional cost ends is a common logical fallacy -- those 100 extra workers will not be operating at 100% efficiency from the get-go. They will need to be trained and there will be a ramp-up period, and up until then they will likely have a negative return on investment.

What this means is that the value derived from these new employees will be net-negative for a period of time. One could say that ~10-30% of that $6M in new labor costs for the next 12 months will not be recovered.

Your theoretical scenario could result in:

* current employees departing (taking institutional knowledge with them, decreasing the efficiency of your organization)

* current employees using their hours at work helping ramp up their new co-workers (decreasing the efficiency of your organization)

* new employees taking on tasks they're not yet trained for (decreasing the efficiency of your organization)

Furthermore, some new employees will not stick around for multiple reasons (eg: family events like a spouse moving to another city, being unqualified but passing the interview process, etc), and therefore the significant investment in them will be gone for good.

Now, that said, is it better to give everybody a 10%? Of course not, but only because everybody is not equal. Raises should be handed out based on competence-based metrics (be it qualitative reports from co-workers and managers or self-reported quantitative data pertaining to their individual impact). Real bottom-line pushers would even qualify for 20% raises.

Zillow zestimates
I think house values have been turned on their head, as pertain to zestimates. With the advent of new data storage, network speeds, satellite pictures, etc., Zillow has availed itself of all of them. They now, in essence, are setting the price for houses in the U.S., and across the world. Consumers see the satellite photos of a house, from any location, and see the "zestimate". Basically a number that someone employed by zillow decided represents the value of the house. Once that number is seen by a prospective buyer, it's hard to forget it. This "value", represented by Zillow on someone's house might be, for example, $50,000 low, or high, in true value, for a particular area. Tell that to the realtor trying to sell the house. Then, out of nowhere, the Zestimate drops, usually. House values used to be assessed by a number of things. A confluence of information pertaining to an exact area of the country, for example. Why does Zillow have the legal right to place a public value on my house? Zillow may say it's only an "estimate". The real issue is that their "estimate" is seen on the internet, all over the world. It's not a local estimate, that in the past might have been seen by 5 or 10 people. Where it could be discussed, and determined by the exact locality, not by a website utilizing the aforementioned tools, and a "magical" "algorithm" available online. At the very least, when their "zestimate" drops for a particular house, there should be an explanation as to why it has dropped.

The password in my password manager is not correct. No idea how that happened, maybe it was overwritten by accident or I copied the wrong one during account creation. Since I had to reset my FF profile it was no longer stored in the FF password manager, so I had to recover it from KeePass, which well - didn't work out so well. Since I do use a password manager, it's impossible to recover it as I have no idea what the password is.

Interestingly the more critical these tools are, the less maintained they will be.

They often fall in the middle of everything, and there is no set team to handle them (“everyone’s responsible”). Then as they’re critical, someone can’t just take half an hour to do a quick fix, it must be reviewed (and no one actively wants to review it, as it’s not trivial and not their job —- cf “everyone’s responsible —-). Plus anyone succesfully fixing them will be flagged as a potential maintainer when everyone else is running away.

Internal tooling in software companies is a beast in its own.
