And, of course you need a way to prevent employers from using various alternatives available to them.

* You need very high import taxes, so goods have to be produced with local labour

* If truly automation were to become pervasive, that needs taxing

* You probably need restrictions to prevent money from crossing borders too easily

* You can't have open borders

(or)

* You have to strongly respond to illegals working (or legalize them, while still killing those illegal jobs), because they'll destroy the bargaining power of others

(this is, incidentally, why for 90% of history leftists and communists were strongly against immigration, and the right was pro-immigration. Even today, the right is still in favor of (limited) immigration, that doesn't seem to have changed much. But I sometimes wonder if it isn't the case that Trump won because a significant portion of the left electorate voted for him because of the labour competition due to immigration and tolerating of illegal immigrants and illegal immigrants' labour)
The FT had a couple of great podcasts last year ([0], [1]) that discussed the economic and fiscal impacts of immigration. I don't remember all of the details, but the key points were, to the best of my recollection:

* Highly skilled/educated immigrants provide a significant boost to economic growth and pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits. I don't recall whether the podcast addressed the impact of these immigrants on the wages of highly skilled native-born workers.

* Low-skill immigrants are a net positive in the long term (i.e., once their children grow up) to the economy as a whole, but their net impacts in the short term are somewhat ambiguous, and there is some evidence that they bring about wage decreases for low-skill native-born workers. While that evidence is not completely clear-cut, it seems likely that there's at least some level of impact. There's also evidence suggesting that some of the displaced native-born workers "climb the ladder" into higher-skill, higher-wage positions when this happens, which may mitigate that impact.

From what I've read more generally, my impression is that outsourcing has a much larger impact on unskilled workers' wages than immigration does, though I don't have a specific source to support that claim.

No decisions on work-specific matters should be taken on non-mandatory social events were some team members can't/don't want to attend. If you do it, fill the missing people in the next day, the same way someone was missing from an important meeting for whatever work-related reason.
A good point. The thread name could be updated to have <USA> at the end perhaps.
Can you elaborate on this? I understand that engine combustion is affected, but how does that impact the transmission? Is the torque curve skewed? Are ambient air changes not compsensated by the O2 sensor? Or does the transmission oil change in viscosity or something?

With "complaint", I meant a formal complaint to Amazon, over a proper channel, either by contacting Amazon Support, or during the returning process (I'm returning this product because it is counterfeit").
If immigrants are young working adults, then you are, in fact, getting an educated (At least high school, often post-secondary) adults, for whose education, food, shelter, and childcare you didn't have to pay a penny for.

Turning them away is like turning away a gift of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
" ... so I transitioned to an automatic"

Clever.
So, kind of. There’s two parts to it.. By creating more cells you free up the number of users per cell and the bandwidth demand on that cell, providing lower latency and higher speeds. Millimeter-wave technology is another component of 5g that is going to take a while to materialize in phones and to even solve many of it’s fundamental transmission issues. Eventually, mmwave tech will lead to massively faster speeds, but who knows if it’ll ever make sense to put in a phone.
Coffee shops, preferably big brand shops like Starbucks where no one cares if you buy one drink and occupy a table for 2 hours. Do a little research into the various coffee shops in your city and you'll find that certain ones have secluded upstairs areas that are perfect for working.
I don't think governments can solve all problems they can only solve cretin categories of problems.
The second. In my country (perhaps I should have said in my previous post that I don't live in the USA) manual transmissions are the norm, although automatics are certainly becoming more popular.

I don't have anything against automatics per se, I can well see myself getting a car having one in the future.
That's impressive. The approach works well given simple data structures. Their OS is a reimplementation of the UNIX V6 kernel, where most data structures were arrays, searched linearly.
That's within the reach of the automated provers which use
Scaling this up to huge servers might be a problem.

This little verified OS should be useful for routers, IoT devices, and such.

I thought something might have broken, but it's working for me. I don't know how the MathJax works, it might be that you need Javascript turned on. Certainly usually when I'm using Javascript there is no sensible "fall back" for times when it's not available, so it doesn't try.

I'm not a front-end person, so I can't do anything more about it now. If someone else can check it out and let me know the best course of action I'd be delighted to hear from them - contact details in my profile.

OK, now looking at it from another browser and it is broken. The other browser must have something cached. I'll see if I can get it fixed soon.

Yep. I set up a few traefik instances a while ago with the integrated Lets Encrypt support. All of them have at least an A on ssllabs.

From the paper:

> We used the Caffe implementation (Jia et al., 2014) of the VGG19 deep neural network (DNN) model (Simonyan & Zisserman, 2015; available from https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/wiki/Model - Zoo) . All visual images were resized to 224 × 224 pixels to compute outputs by the VGG19 model . The VGG19 model consisted of a total of sixteen convolutional layers and three fully connected layers.

They used a VGG-19 network for the feature detection, so in my basic understanding the results of this could already be improved by switching to a ResNet.
Alternatively, we could ditch the neo-feudalism, embrace automation, and give people a more meaningful live than having to slave 60 hour weeks to be allowed to survive, at meaningless jobs that could easily be done by machines.
> I worked at a hotel for several years in the early 2000's the housekeeping staff was overwhelmingly black women and men but shifted dramatically to Hispanic women and men

The Hispanic staff that doesn't seem to have anything close to living wage is a pervasive feature in the Bay Area too. I'm not sure if, and to what extent, they displaced black workers in the Bay Area though.
My car does it but it's a small diesel 4x4 with gearbox optimized for lower speeds. It happily rolls in the first on low slopes. I have yet to try this with a normal petrol engine car. I have to leave some free space in front of my car and sometimes aggresive drivers from neighbouring lanes will annoyingly slip into that space without signaling, causing a stop on my side.
And I've yet to experience a smooth web experience in an Android phone (using Chrome), or at least as smooth as on iOs..

Because they didn't translate their jobs section yet, that makes you think you wouldn't be welcome?

The main point was inflation and wages. He mentions that "The scale of immigration both legal and illegal I believe has the greatest impact on the lowest sectors of society.", I doubt the impact is greater than the stagnation of wages against inflation where $2 min wage in 1968 is equivalent to almost $11 of today's dollars [0]. Current min wage is at $7.25. Do the immigrants vote for maintaining the minimum wage at the current level or where am I getting lost? I'm quite sure econ 101 says that if the salary goes up there will be more people willing to accept the job. Until that happens, of course a low-skilled immigrant will take that $7.25 hour job that no one wants. He will barely survive (while making sacrifices in the quality of life) and yes the corporation will happily accept it since nobody wants to do that work for that wage and people want low prices.

Exactly. This cannot work without forcing a whole range of products a LOT more expensive than they are.

That's a feature, not a bug.

But yes, the rest of society will become a LOT "poorer" (but still comfortable) for no more than a decent increase in the living standard of the working poor.
I've been looking to experiment with browser mining solutions recently but the offerings are really lacking imo. It seems to be a simple problem (let users mine in exchange for virtual goods ~proportional to the solved hashes) but bar CoinHive I ended up with nothing promising and I can't really justify their 30% cut.
I rather clearly stated they would, just not much. The poor don't use taxis very frequently, as it's expensive to do so.

I'm not sure what is the point of the first paragraph but it's considered full employment at 5% because not everyone is interested in having a job. It is impossible to have 100% employment rate. So there's no point in pursuing it.

Its a kind of thing like the average number of hands per population is less than two. Seems counter intuitive, but when you think about it, it does make sense. One shouldn't relay on the expected value of people having two hands, for global population it's a tad lower.

The US military, especially, is the largest job and training program anywhere in the world, including the military industrial complex (most of those military contracts, incidentally, do not just come with jobs, but with demands that those companies hire x0000 (3 or 4 zeros) in the states that have the highest poverty levels).

I'm not saying it's an ideal occupation (although, hey, Keynes seemed to like it when he was less on guard). So yes, I'd also much prefer them to be building better infrastructure. Or perhaps have a much cheaper postal service.

> That's where you money is going to, not $6 an hour fruit pickers spending all their money in food.

Perhaps. But the inability of the working poor to pick fruit at $15 an hour IS due to (mostly illegal) fruit pickers.
Hardly comparable though. The context is wireless internet.
When one US citizen can barely make ends meet, it's reasonable maybe to tell them to try harder.

When millions can barely do it, the political and business classes fucked up and they need to fix it. That's the point of goverment, they can tackle systemic issues.
It's interesting to see how no one even seems to try. In Europe there's Blendle [1], but that's only an aggregator and you still have to pay for each article you read (with hilarious differences in pricing).
I've always wondered if they'd be more successful with a flat fee for complete access to all articles for all their papers and zines. But I guess the publishing houses don't consider this viable as it would hurt their subscriptions (who's gonna subscribe to just one paper when there's access to ten more for roughly the same price?).

> Amazon cannot afford not to fix their supply chain legitimacy issues.

If they can't run a legitimate business properly, then that's their problem.

Take a look around -- plenty of other profitable retailers don't have this problem.

> But they can't just stop selling the product.

Not only can they, they must.

You can't continue with illegitimate business just because you'd be unprofitable otherwise.
Agreed but I wanted to compare an unlocked mailbox at a bank to not using SSL on their website.

How so? To artificially keep salaries high?
> Have you established that there are "numerous and credible indications" for all counterfeit products?

No, just anecdata, including personal experience. But the anecdata seems widespread enough.

> To that end, I'd imagine it is easy to get rid of someone that sells 100% fake items. But how hard is it to drop someone that sells 10% fake items?

I have absolutely zero experience with retail, but I'd probably set the bar at 0%. Any deviation from that 0% must be explained satisfactorily: "how did this happen", "what measures have been taken so that this doesn't happen again", etc.
It highlights the effects of lack of competition and a broken market. I have more monthly data than I can ever use up.
Furthermore those 3.5% are not divided randomly.

On the lowest rung of society, they're at least 50%. The higher you go the lower the percentage, and it drops off pretty fast.

People not looking for a job aren't included in that 5%, to be considered unemployed you have to be working less than 2 hours a week and looking for work.

More importantly that figure doesn't include the underemployed, those working at least 2 hours but looking for more.

America is a country of huge wealth. Wealthy in natural resources, capital equipment, labor ... fucking everything.

And yet we have such terrible poverty.

When I read stories about poor people in America, always there is lurking just below the surface the key element of scarcity. Not food. Not transportation. Not clothing. Not even, surprisingly, health care. The missing factor in all these broken lives is the simplest thing. Space. Some space to fucking sleep and live.

How can such a large country suffer from a bigger housing crisis than we find in jammed up dense countries like Singapore, South Korea, and India?

Why hasn't the market solved this problem?

Believe it or not, its not impossible to manufacture a living space in a factory and assemble it on site in a day, to provide extremely well made and affordable housing structures.

There is space enough in American cities if density is allowed to be increased. In other words if these fake "liberal" NIMBYs in American cities can be persuaded to give up the precious "character" of their neighborhoods, we can make space for everyone. CHEAP space.

I would suggest looking at Niklaus Wirth's Compiler Construction book and even the Oberon compiler. This is one of the best ways to learn about compilers and writing programming languages. See: https://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/wirth/

I partially justified resubscribing to Prime through Amazon Photos. Then I actually used it. As it doesn't include video, it's not much use for backing up my Photos library.

What really killed it for me though is that the Amazon Drive client software is terrible. Slow and extremely buggy: it appears to do file operations on the UI thread, so the whole UI freezes for minutes at a time.
Same. Started driving a manual when I was 15. Been daily driving a motorcycle for commuting the past 8 years (not one of those weird automatic ones that Honda makes now either).

Blendle is nice in theory but their article pricing is really off-putting. I know that it's the publisher's choice to set prices for individual articles, but I'm not going to pay half of the actual paper price to read one single article.

I use it to read a select few things that I'm really interested in, but I'd love it to be more of an individual aggregation of stuff (think Flipbook) where I don't mind reading lots of articles because they're essentially cheap enough for me to not care. Not going to do that, though, when a 300 word article costs up to 1€.

There is something wrong with this: "There must always be more jobs available than people that want them, not slightly fewer."

Even at 5% unemployment, your condition can be satisfied. For example, jobs might be unfilled because the candidates are unwilling to move. The candidates might be unqualified... shall we hire a random person as a brain surgeon? There could be a dozen job openings per person, and still the unemployment rate remains above zero.

As you move toward 0% unemployment, you push harder and harder against the problem of unsuitable workers. Reaching 0% is a bit like traveling at the speed of light: it is an unreachable goal, with difficulty rising dramatically as you get close.
