USSR stands for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and it never called itself communist. Communism was supposed to be the utopian society that was always just around the corner. As the Soviet joke goes:

"We are told that the communism is already seen at the horizon. What then is a horizon? "

"Horizon is an imaginary line which moves away each time you approach it."

The party was a Communist Party, yes - as in, a party of communists. And communists would be people who believed that communism is possible and desirable (indeed, within Marxist-Leninist philosophy, it was deemed historically inevitable - the only question was, how soon), and so made efforts to advance society towards it.

As far as coal miners, I can't speak for Bulgaria, but it's very well known that physical work paid significantly more than any intellectual work in late USSR (roughly 1960-...) - that was part of the whole "dictatorship of the proletariat" arrangement, as it was interpreted by the official ideology. In 1980s, a teacher, a doctor, or an engineer would be getting 120-200 rubles per month, while a factory worker or a miner would be getting 200-600 rubles, depending on qualification and working conditions. Workers could make even more by signing up to work in adverse conditions (northern polar regions, for example) where the salary would be multiplied by coefficients reflecting that adversity. In factories, it was not uncommon for the workers to get 2x of what their supervising engineer did.
Tell us more about "somehow"?
Well, the roller coaster sim is wireframes only, which is always much easier to compute. You’ll notice that the Doom clone has lighting and shaders, which, however primitive, add complexity to the render.

It’s like the difference between text rendering versus decompressing JPEG images. Both can pile up enough data to exhibit lag, but you get more bang for your buck with the lighter data stream.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, I have the same sentiment. pgadmin 3 was by no means a great app but it does the job well. pgadmin 4 is just a mess. It's slow, bloated and buggy well beyond the acceptable range.
I’m pretty fed up of seeing the “noodle bib” image recycled constantly.

It’s actually just a shower cap/hat to stop soap getting in kids eyes that’s quite common in Japan. Somebody just put it on their face... I guess as a joke in this instance.
Sorry, yeah, could have been a lot more clear there. I was making extremely little salary at the time of the secondary, so I paid something like 20% tax on half, for about $1400 in taxes on $14k proceeds.
A great place to start is the book Design for the Digital Age by Kim Goodwin https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Designing+for+the+Digital+Age%3A... .
oh, guess I shouldn't implement that[1] then :)

To be honest, now that I'm thinking about it again, I think you're totally right.

Lots of people would criticize USA culture by saying something like "Apparently it is culturally accepted thing for cops to shoot black people". Apparently it is, because we do not see any significant changes being made to the training, regulation, or military equipment of police.
>For most people, it would be a steep pay cut to move from the US to anywhere in the EU.

You get bit at both ends - you had to pay for an American college degree ($$$) and had none of the social services like unemployment benefits/worker protections someone in the EU gets... then when you finally are making a high wage, you're going to get taxed to high heaven to pay for services you had to pay for (like the expensive degree I just mentioned).

Sadly, the best move looks to be to be frugal in the USA then retire early elsewhere.
> Personally I like the breadth of different types available in PostgreSQL.

Also for how extensible they are. I'm a complete amateur at GIS, but PostGIS is one of the neatest large-scale uses of the system I've seen.
I appreciate the long form response. This exactly what I was talking about - I think SpaceX has taken the classic startup model to a place nobody expected it to go, and the question I'm asking is, why have other people not done this? Especially Google should know how to release early and iterate, but really X has released no products to date that I'm aware of.

This assumes you post the same way on your true identity.

The language I use in work related emails is very different than the language I use socially online.
The trick then is to catch a neighborhood squirrel and attach it to the animal.
Huh apparently my autocorrect thinks AMERICAN should be all caps.
Jai is a perfect example of how fashion dictates programming language popularity. The language isn't even released yet and people are mentioning it as the next great thing. If it wasn't for Jonathan Blow's successful indie games nobody would bat an eye.

That being said, I've got huge respect for the guy. I asked him about Nim in one of his streams and his reply was very courteous and reasonable.
Singapore Says It Needs Foreign Tech Talent and `Fun' Education
I'd be happy to debate, if you're interested. But in the meantime it appears that the anger is misplaced; direct it at the fact that we have this wonderful tool that destroys class barriers and makes knowledge free to all.

You act as if I have $40. Would it surprise you to learn my power was cut off within the last few months?

Another point: "Stealing" implies something was lost. The words are still there, even if I have copied them.

The game industry and the iPhone app store have proven that when you price something closer to $1, it will generate exponentially more revenue than $40.
Didn't the V9 run P2K/Triplets, while the V8 ran Linux?
I don't think it's that simple. If you look at the Golden Age of Western sci-fi, it was so full of spaceships and travels that a space rocket - as seen on countless book covers - became the symbol of the genre. Western sci-fi was also much heavier on aliens, and especially on conflict with aliens - thousands of alien races bustling around is very much a Western trope with no equivalent in Soviet sci-fi.

On the other hand, the closest sci-fi prediction of something like Wikipedia was the Grand All-Planet Informatory from Strugatsky books, complete with an index and search queries and pervasive use in day-to-day activities to "look things up".

I was employee #1. It sold to google. All employee options were wiped out.
When I grew up, we never ate at a restaurant... just would have been an extravagant expense. My parents probably earned <15000USD combined. This book would have been far too expensive to consider.

This is in the western world... imagine how many people in the world can’t afford this book. On a global scale... very few people could afford this book (or a 40USD video game).

It makes me kind of sad that you’d so casually suggest that this is not the case. Makes me think that perhaps people in the tech world don’t have a great understanding of how poor many people are...
Definitely a chicken/egg problem for nascent languages like Nim -- someone has to furnish the house before people can properly move in.

The only way I could solve this and make Nim a viable language for these projects is to spend my spare time tinkering, and that's unlikely to happen.

The situation is particularly problematic for something like gRPC where you really have to know Nim well to create a good tool.

As cool as Nim is, I've gotten to a stage in my career where I just want tools that work. That's the attraction of Go these days (though Rust is looking nearly as good now) -- most libraries already exist, and you can focus on the task at hand, instead of being forced to invent a bunch of wheels first.
The question probably means money made as a result of the exit, likely due to options/RSUs. I'd think that 401k/IRA comes from salary.
This watch is not a prescription, nor a doctor ordered monitor. Even more, as mentioned its detection quality/history is not as reliable as to what currently a doctor would trust (as in case of 12-probe ecg).

Heart risk is serious and by itslef warrants a GP visit or at least a question. Yet a recreational health monitoring looks similar to someone's reading a GP's handbook for fun - suddenly lots of descriptions seem to apply due to uninformed perceptions.

Either way, if one has reasons to believe being at heart risk, watch is not the first thing to buy to be pro-active/preventive.To have the watch does not mean to take care of the risk. Just like having a fitbit does not mean one is actively fit.
I meant LOL
> This would be illegal in many economies,is grossly unfair and probably racist.

It's actually not illegal to not accept somebody based on them having a degree from a university of poor renown. It's called "qualification" and you can discriminate upon it all you want. It's also not unfair. Unfair would be accepting degrees from any place that hands out degrees like candy. It's also not racist, a lot of Chinese parents send their children to study abroad because they know Chinese universities suck. Those foreign degrees open up a lot of doors, both abroad and domestic.

> Plus, the rate of Chinese IPR and future knowledge is huge. Do you e.g. want to miss out on Chinese PV and wind and emerging battery know-how?

What's your point? Hire Chinese with junk degrees now so that you magically get to profit from future Chinese innovations?
If you know Greek alphabet already (which many people do from math & science, or heck, even Greek societies in the USA), looking the shapes of the capital letters in it gets you almost all the way to explaining the differences between Latin and Cyrillic, since Greek is the common ancestor of both.
The same is true for Spanish. But they had a much better basis to begin with. The problem with English is that it's a mix of many influences (I'm not talking about different accents but about entirely different languages) that never got cleaned up.
Surprisingly they didn't have the "breastfeeding"-device for dads to let infants suckle milk from dad's "breast".

thanks,

I actually thought of that, but it seems rather inefficient compared to a single fuse, unblown before writing a key, blown after written key is verified as correctly written, once blown no fuses for this key can be blown...

But I don't know if they actually use such a system, or perhaps they simply assume the attackers never get fuseblowing privilege, and perhaps they assume that a key in a blown set of fuses is no longer rewritable...
Nim has a level of richness you won't find in Go. Optional GC, unions, enums, macros, compile-time function evaluation (so code generation and other compile-time magic can happen in Nim code instead of via reflection or the rather poor "go generate"), generics, async/await, real threads... Nim has much of Go's simplicity while managing to be a lot richer. But it's also less mature and has almost zero mindshare.
I only recently learned about sciter, and was pretty excited to start using it on a personal project. Thanks for that!

I'm not exactly an expert on imap/pop/smtp, but I'd potentially be interested in helping depending on what your plans are for it. Honestly I'd be happy to help with any new privacy-focused e-mail client that has a convenient ui.
Yes there is. In a text field (like the reply box when you tell me I’m wrong), hard-press on the keyboard. The characters on the keyboard disappear and the keyboard essentially becomes a trackpad for moving the cursor.

This doesn’t work if you soft-touch for too long. Then it gets stuck in character selection mode. But if you quickly and firmly press, you’ll get the cursor precision movement mode.
Here's what I think is going on.

So let's say you're an influential shareholder at a big company, this company has been successful because it did a few things well, and there are a bunch of other shareholders with their own agendas.

Meanwhile you are a human being just like any other so fundamentally you're making decisions about what you're going to do with your own life, which is the only thing you really control.

Now, you're concerned about climate change. Does it really make sense to try to lasso this big company into doing something about climate change, if it has no experience in that field, and no one there joined in order to work on climate change?

More likely you would put some of your own (presumably considerable) resources into some other project that's focused on climate change. Because that's going to have a better chance of success than trying to sequester resources away from BigCorp for something that BigCorp fundamentally isn't committed to.

The point is you are an investor and it just doesn't make sense to invest resources into X with the goal of doing Y's job. You would invest in Y instead. Put another way if you own an all-star basketball team and you want to win an ice hockey championship you don't tell them to start playing hockey on the weekends, you use the money they made to go buy a hockey team.
If history has taught us anything, it's that we are the most likely to enslave ourselves.

Mainland China has education all backwards, children get tons of pressure during primary and secondary education, to the point of them commiting suicide.

Then, when it's about university education, it's all business. Parents pay good money for their children's "education", so they expect good grades. Universities compete for students, not the other way around. It's a racket.

$0 at one and $80,000 at another. I spent several thousand on something I wanted, and banked the rest. My boss bought a nice car. Oh, and a third sold and the buyer had a clause where if you quit you got shit.
New hires have trouble understanding that, occasionally, we have a
valid business reason that a piece of code simply must EXIST. Yes,
almost always, we want the code to exist and also be correct, or
maintainable, or have other desirable properties. But not always.
Sometimes the customer, or our own upper management, is completely
fixated on the distinction between THINGS THAT EXIST and THINGS THAT
DON'T EXIST. The worst possible day is when I hear back from the
programmer about their perceived "progress" in which they have
"evaluated design alternatives" or "better understood the problem."

You've completely changed the subject. I meant position in a literal, not figurative, sense.

Weird accusations of intellectual dishonesty aside, we do agree on economic mobility but that wasn't the topic at hand. Economic mobility doesn't mean "give the most valuable apartments in the United States to the lower class so they can live there because they don't want their lives to change."

Subaru indicated in the recall that “there is no physical remedy available; therefore, any vehicles found with missing welds will be destroyed.”

Something doesn't feel right, when the cost of adding the missing welds is somehow higher than the cost of a whole new vehicle...

If missing welds were discovered on an airliner, for example, the fix would almost certainly be to add them, and not replace the whole plane.
That's wrong, they don't have to do it. But it sure does help if they're not otherwise getting enough to eat!

Apparently it happens more often under laboratory conditions than in the wild.
I've found a lot of amateur tinkerers will pay me to write arduino/esp8266 code for them.

The downside of this kind of project is that it can often be quite time-consuming, and often-times you wonder if failures are caused by the parts you can't see; the owners not soldering/wiring things properly.

I've had interactions where my "code was broken", which mysteriously got fixed without me making any changes. Throw in timezones into the mix, and you can waste a day looking for a bug that just isn't there.
Yes, should have been clearer. That's what I was clarifying, since some startups vastly underpay. A disturbing number of people I meet in tech don't plan well for retirement.
How did you initially go about selling these products? Cold calling? Ads?
Well sure its never a good idea to post bigoted things online but truth is even if the CoC wasn't meant to socially persecute individuals for what they do in their private time, it will most likely happen regardless.

This is the way of life for most now. If you say anything remotely offensive and it ends up online/traceable to you. You will loose your job and most, if not all other actual job possibilities.

Yes you may argue that one should never do that (and I certainly agree) however, everyone is human and we all make mistakes. So what happens when we as a society decide to totally condemn individuals for their mistakes without allowing them to learn from them in the first place? I would wager, probably something not so nice.
Back when racing games still used the cross button for accelerate lots used the pressure-sensitive face buttons. Some sports games used them for light/heavy actions. The Metal Gear Solid series did as well, for aiming vs shooting your weapon.
B2B might make sense but beware it needs more maintenance at some point.
It's the eye of God, in a triangle. The one on $1 bills. That is, God is provident aka watching us, watching out for us, and providing guidance and stuff.

I don't recall ever seeing that. I did experience Hell, for a while during one LSD peak. But it wasn't painful, just freaky. I was into Hieronymus Bosch at the time, and had just watched "Spawn" ;)

My favorite hallucinations were tangled chains of 3D characters, in constant writhing motion, and rotating on their axes. And not just rotating, but apparently rotating through higher dimensions.[0]

As I recall, the characters looked like letters or numbers. Or like Hofstadter's GEB block. But as long as I was high enough to see them, I was too high to understand them. Or to remember, anyway.

I also had the sense that their activity correlated with what was happening in meatspace, what I was seeing and hearing, and also what I was thinking. And it's my guess that LSD, among other things, breaks down barriers between hierarchical levels in brain activity.

So you don't think this is bad in any way? That your friend is behaving very unethically? That cheating is fine:

Some people will always cheat, who cares.

I'd rather the next doctor/surgeon I need didn't get someone else to write their uni work, thanks very much. Apart from that I don't want anything to do with anyone that unethical. It's sociopathic.

In the end they cheat themselves

You're most concerned about how their cheating affects the cheater?!

my friend, who is a perfect match for academia

I can't tell if you loathe both academia and your friend's ethics, or neither. Neither, it seems to me. Amazing. Did you cheat too? If not, why not?

Or..It's OK because a lot of people do it?
This line of thought is very interesting indeed. Understanding the similarity/contrast to the join operator is really at the heart of what quantum is about. It comes down to, what do you mean by "and" ?

An extension means you're just running normal Postgres and load this on top. All of the normal features of Postgres are available and you can upgrade that as new versions are released without waiting for some other vendor to update their own specialized version of it.

From TFA: “[Subaru] found an Ascent with the missing welds during a routine sampling inspection on 21 July”

The affected vehicles were built between 13th and 21st.

Not sure how long QA takes for a vehicle, but they found it within a week.
No, cost of capital is not synonymous with "cost of things". It's how much you have to pay to use someone's money for a while. There are all kinds of other costs that go in to the cost of goods.

Big trucking companies borrow money and buy semi trucks. They get them straight from the manufacturer complete with 4-5 years worth of all maintenance and warranty. They run them for that time, spending nothing else other than fuel, tires, driver pay, and insurance cost, and then sell them at the end of the 4-5 year period. The cost of using the truck is essentially the difference between the purchase price-selling price, plus the interest cost of the borrowed money.

If that interest rate is low, let's say it's zero: they can buy 1,000 trucks and let them sit idle and not lose much money because they just turn around and sell them as almost new, and don't have to pay interest. If the interest cost is high, they need to keep the trucks working to bring in revenue to cover the depreciation + interest cost.

Lower and middle-class people don't use debt anywhere near the extent that capital-intensive businesses do. Higher interest rates do not affect their bottom line as much. So if the cost of capital goes up, there is pressure on that capital to produce, which makes it more beneficial to spend money on labor to create revenue. Labor gets a bigger slice of the revenue pie because it is more valuable compared to capital.

Even better, a dollar spent by a consumer is far more beneficial to the economy than a dollar spent by a corporation, because such a high proportion of corporate spending ends up back in the pockets of plutocrats and plutocratic corps. A dollar spent by a consumer tends to go back in the local economy at the grocery store, gas station, mechanic's shop, child care, etc. That same dollar gets spent again and again in the local economy as it passes along.
