you create a race to the bottom

But this is true for everything where you can apply supply and demand, and there's always a balance between the two.

you end up with people willing to flip burgers or work a cash register for $2/hour

But what happens in your scenario where there is a minimum wage law ? Those people magically make 5 times more ?

Do you think you can force business to hire at any rate ? Or does the rate needs to follow productivity and current standard of living indexes ? What if your increase this rate by 100x, what happens ?

But you'd end up absolutely tanking the median wage and standards of living

If the scenario where people don't work for 2 USD/hour they have 0 of salary. So the second scenario where they work for 2 USD / hour makes everyone more rich, I would be more inclined to believe the median wage would increase, but that's a hard question. The most important is that people worked and sustained themselves.
At the individual level, decreasing or eliminating your consumption of animal products seems like the most efficient way to help. You can also support or work for companies that are changing things at a larger scale: https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/story/tacklin...
On hardware level, all those use von Neumann architecture. Wasm, however, exposes Harvard architecture (implemented on top on von Neumann machines). Yet, you can compile C to Wasm, which is a data point about how abstract C is: so abstract that it can target Harvard architecture despite targeting just von Neumann architecture being sufficient for targeting modern hardware.

I meant government does not generate taxes. It's people and the companies they work for that pay the tax which government then uses. So it's disingenuous of parent to claim government alone is responsible for the good it does.

Looking at the recycling issue I wonder if you are using so many disks (that fail) if it is possible to ship them to a low wage (sorry) country have them taken apart and rebuilt using parts from other disks where different parts failed?
It’s funny that they list support for screen rotation as a key feature, as if this is some kind of rocket science... but they’re totally right to do so, because on Android it is rocket science at times!

I’ve never properly understood why mobile screen rotation needs to be so much more difficult to handle than desktop window resizing.
So i'm using the system now and whenever i try to use it after stopping for a few minutes, the entire ui is unresponsive. It doesn't appear to have suspended the application. It looks like it happens for around 10 seconds before it finally decides to let me use it.

> Reverse, Do you think that a company such as amazon should be paying their fulltime and part time employee a wage that requires government subsidies (that you and I pay for) to survive while enjoying the amount of revenue and profit they are receiving?

Yes, I do. I think most people misunderstand government subsidies when they make this argument. The idea that the company you work for is responsible for maintaining your standard of living is a weird one, that doesn't really come from any obvious moral principle. We, as a society, have decided that we don't want people to have a standard of living below a certain level. Therefore we, as a society, should provide the resources to ensure that that happens. If Amazon wants to come to those people and say "we'll give you $X/hour to do this task for us", and those people say "Yes", then I don't see any good reason for that to change the moral calculus of society at large, or for Amazon to suddenly become responsible for that person's general welfare.

Nobody consulted any engineer. Just lawyers fighting each other, and the side with the biggest pockets won.

For a case like this, it would have been malpractice for Uber's lawyers not to have consulted a subject matter expert to review the patent. It's very likely that Uber will (if they have not already) be demanding reparations from their lawyers over this.

If a language lets you cause undefined behaviour via FFI into C, I think it's fair to say that that remains a problem created by C.

I do take your point about Rust, but I'd see that as deriving from LLVM's undefined behaviour which in turn descends from C; I'm not aware of any pre-C languages having C-style exploding undefined behaviour or of any subsequent languages inventing it independently.
Wow. They need that much data in memory at once? I could understand needing a ton of secondary storage for both, but this much primary storage would seem to imply they need random access to terabytes of data which is a little huge to swallow!!
Torrents for pirated content still seem like a bad idea due to the nature of BT. I use usenet and, sometimes, direct-download sites, but those are horrible and really more of a last resort.

I could be wrong, but I think ApolloFortyNine was simply pointing out the way it is, not necessarily claiming that it's how it should be.

Amazon paid so little because they could. Amazon just wants profit. If people want Amazon to pay more because their wage is not a living wage, they should take it up with the government to increase minimum wage.
Right, but OP seemed to imply that an individual choosing to not procreate was against some kind of basic biological functioning.

> and thus grew the middle class. The middle class is something we truly need to focus on growing again.

But that's the problem with things like this. We keep focusing on the top and the bottom but not the middle.

So we pass laws purporting to tax the rich (but really anyone with a full time job) and then the rich hire accountants and only the middle class pays. Then we clamor for a higher minimum wage, but the middle class already makes more than minimum wage, so the effect on them is to raise the prices they have to pay.

What we need isn't just to get the people at $10 to $15, it's to get the people at $20 to $35 or $50.
Thanks for clarification. And thanks for Term and MagicMenu (and all the other work) ! :)

You should include TexNotes screenshots on the site for historical context.

Since you're already doing time travel, will this run on ReactOS (open-source Win32) or Wine on Linux and MacOS?
It definitely depends. The time of my commute itself is about the same, whether I bike or drive. However, there is about a 10 minute difference from additional activities that are not needed when driving. When I bike (~80% of the time), I need to account extra time for strapping my bag to my bike, attaching/removing easily stolen accessories, donning/removing reflective vest, and changing from biking clothes to business casual after arriving.

Thankfully, my commute is short and summers aren't too hot, so I don't yet need to add an additional 10-15 minutes for showering after arriving.

Has anyone else been wondering if this latest discussion will move beyond tech companies, credit cards, and traffic cameras to focus on the moral right to privacy and individual liberty?

I'm not sure if a plurality of people in the U.S. believe that they should have an expectation of privacy... or at least they seem willing to trade it for loose credit, free services, and a general feeling of security.
> I think it's fair to say that that remains a problem created by C.

That is fair, however, I don't think it's inherently due to C. Yes, most languages use the C ABI for FFI, but that doesn't mean they have to; it's a more general problem when combining two systems, they cannot track statically the guarantees of the other system.

With Rust, it has nothing to do with LLVM; it has to do with the fact that we cannot track things, that's why it's unsafe! Even if an implementation of the language does not use LLVM, we will still have UB.
"In fact, I would say most Silicon Valley engineers do not actually understand the environments they develop products for."

Isn't that the point of her book ?
No, that's not what the economy is.

Here is how it works. Let's say Amazon doubles someone's salary, from 30k a year to 60k a year.

And let's say that previously, this person was spending 1k a year on Amazon.

Since the worker now has double the salary, let's say it doubled the amount that they spend at Amazon, from 1k to 2k.

Doing simple math here, you see that Amazon is now spending 30k more, only to get an extra 1k in revenue, for a total decrease of 29k.

Arguing that this person will spend all 30k of this additional money at Amazon is ridiculous.

And even more ridiculous would be arguing that this perpetual motion machine actually creates value, above and beyond 30K.

I think AngleSharp can handle JS and it's not that different from HtmlAgilityPack. https://github.com/AngleSharp/AngleSharp
No, not at all, because as the guy below you in your link said, the guidance was 50,000-55,000 and "we expect an average of 5000 Model 3s per week" was a random offhand comment by Musk. He's probably thinking of the operating rate (ie average cars per day) and not the overall rate, since the operating rate is the statistic that he'd actually be capturing. There were 63 work days in Q3, and IIRC there were about 8 days of planned shutdowns, which would put the rate right at 5000.

Countering your nitpick with another nitpick seems inadvisable, but like... you're blatantly ignoring the actual company guidance to focus on a single random remark that was still essentially right. That's just goofy.
>Who says Amazon doesn’t pay taxes?

Can we do away with this now please. Amazon paying the taxes it can't avoid doesn't act as an excuse for avoiding the taxes that they do avoid. In fact, excusing Amazon's tax avoidance with the income tax it's employees pay is even worse. It's still a problem. We still need to tackle it, and if this pay rise acts to dissuade people from real tax reform and real workers rights then forget the 2.4B this move is probably profitable for Amazon.
> An example, the collision of the Milky Way with Andromeda is likely to produce no collisions of solar systems.

I was curious about this, so I found this source[0] via wikipedia:

"Although the galaxies will plow into each other, stars inside each galaxy are so far apart that they will not collide with other stars during the encounter. However, the stars will be thrown into different orbits around the new galactic center. Simulations show that our solar system will probably be tossed much farther from the galactic core than it is today."

Interpreted literally, it would seem this at least leaves open the idea that a star passing through any other star's solar system and, say, sending its planets into wildly different orbits or flinging some into interstellar space, is meaningfully more likely than a star actually physically hitting another star, but I haven't seen the math. I wouldn't be surprised if they're both extremely unlikely - the diameter of our solar system appears to be about 8500 times larger than the diameter of the sun, which may not change the odds in any significant way.

How is Tesla any different?

My road trip to the beach would take 4 hours more in a Tesla than a ICE. That time would be waiting at rest stops along the way...
That's the story of the startup I work for as well. It survived long enough to find it's niche product and then stabilized. Everyone had decent pay and great hours. Eventually an exit opportunity came around and we all made some money. Parent org lets us keep maintaining and developing our niche product more or less independently. The more ambitious execs moved up into the parent org, but the rest of us remain friends working at a comfortable job.

Computer Memory: 640K Ought to Be Enough for Anyone
I realized at my last job that I was working to essentially replace myself and my co-workers. It was a pretty sobering thought.

We often joke about training our replacements but we're definitely in an age where it's just as easy (if not easier) to build our replacements.

This doesn't have to come in the form of AI which can ingest requirements and write code. It typically comes in the form of automating specific aspects of our current job. Build systems, pipelines, workflows, etc.

It's nice to kid ourselves and think of it as work intended to improve productivity but from a company's point of view the value is decreasing overhead and cost which comes in the form needing 1 person to do the work instead of 10.

Cross your fingers that you're the 1 and not one of the 9 :).
It's no mystery as to why Tesla is having delivery problems. It has been working on producing cars at a far more rapid rate than before. This is a very complicated problem with many parts, and Tesla is not able to focus on them all at once.

So it has wisely decided to set priorities, and worked on production before it got to deliveries, and as a consequence undelivered cars have piled up. Now production is going pretty well, and so Musk and his crew are turing their attention to the delivery problem.

You know, the more Tesla succeeds in producing the Model 3, it seems the more negative the mainstream media gets in its coverage.
It would actually be a good thing for the prices to be inflated because that would mean that the market is competitive. In a competitive market, profit margins are typically very thin, so unless the increase in labor cost is passed onto the customer, the business will have to operate at a loss.
You can’t seriously be comparing rebuilding arbitrary software to building an atomic weapon.

Equally by offering this for Xilinx, it makes them more palatable over Altera offerings (owned by Intel). So a very tactile move on many levels.

Except that the structures we have in place have time horizons even shorter than a human lifespan. Stock market runs on quarterly reports, governments run on election periods of a couple years. The organizations we give the most power to just don't operate using long term incentives. And then democratic processes don't even let everyone who is currently alive vote, much less those who aren't born yet. It's a problem that largely requires unselfish thinking which makes it extremely difficult to incentivize.
It's because US cities are poorly planned, crumbling shit-holes with 4 lane highways criss crossing them. People are extremely hostile to bikers in most US cities, and there are literally no consequences to killing them much of the time.

American cities are so unpleasant to exist in on the ground level people prefer the safety of their smog machines at all times, even if you are going half a mile down the road for a carton of milk.

Everything is designed to funnel you out of the city into your extremely inefficient suburb so you can stop by taco-bell and wal-mart on your 50 minute commute home.

But hey, the answer is more roads right? Not incentivizing people to have less roads on the highway?

Your math works out if they don't layoff a ton of people through automation. Let's see what happens.
That's the correct steps, but that doesn't add anything that the original C code doesn't do.

On x86, that could be:
mov [ebx], eax
add [ecx], eax

Which is an entirely separate set of operands, instructions, and addressing modes. It's still the same steps, but it's not really telling you anything.
Why do you claim that local variables and function calls are specific to C? They seem to be very popular among programming languages in general.
The historical dominance of C over the last 30-40 years is, by itself, enough to justify C as a core part of a computer science curriculum.

In my humble opinion, people should rent a cheap VPS to run bittorrent from, then sftp the data down once you have what you want and then decom the VM. It would be on a faster uplink / downlink than your home and would keep your home IP out of sandvine's records for BT.

Most VPS providers can charge by the minute now, so it's really cheap, even if you get a large VM.
Yes the employer is dumb for not realizing the job can be automated. Yes you are smart for writing code that automates the job. But I feel, as an employee of the company, it is un-ethical for you to knowingly see an extreme inefficiency and hide it for your own personal gain.

Also, it seems like a huge way to waste your life. Find another job where they can actually use your skill set to do something meaningful.

I think comments here are unfairly harsh. I really like this innovative idea of having a dedicated language. If it can see client-side rendered HTML (e.g. React, Vue, etc...), that would be a whole another level for me since I don't think this has been made before.
If you're coding for a non-technical business, i.e. one in which they're not directly selling your productive output, then it's not hard at all to get to a point where your daily tasks don't take more than a few minutes a day. After all, it's other people that are actually driving the revenue. You can ask for more duties, but their capacity to define tasks for you is never going to outpace your ability to deliver.

My advice is to not fight this state of affairs. Figure out your own way to stay productive. Divide up your spare time between coming up with ideas for your employer and doing side projects. Take long lunches with your coworkers and leave at 4.

You can find happy professional nirvana but you have to believe in it first.
