" there's not "safe job" anymore."

Most jobs are safe actually.

First - government, which is a massive employer.

Second - healthcare - generally low turnover, and a huge portion of the economy.

Energy - parts are up and down, but anything closer to the core is very safe.

Core jobs at any classic company. They are generally safe.

Large layoffs are not common, and this idea that companies will drop huge numbers of people 'just to save a buck' is simply not true: most layoffs only happen during economic calamity, when the company is starting to face trouble. In decent times, firings is rare.

Now factory wok, hourly workers, retail workers - that's a whole other thing.

Remember that companies make money by expanding and hiring, not by laying off. CEO's are 100x more likely to want to 'grow' than 'shrink' and there's a lot of political cost with layoffs.

Rubin's startup is flailing, that's why he's laying off, that's to be expected.
The other side of the question, is why wouldn’t I spend an extra $600 for something that I’m going to use everyday that can easily last for 5 years?
That's terrible. A support agent should never mark an issue resolved until the client has said the issue is resolved or been unresponsive to followip communication for some time.
Tips for housekeeping are often most of my physical-cash outlay when I travel, because I pay for practically everything else by card. The percentage is even greater considering how often I make a small purchase using cash precisely so I can use the bills I get back for tips. If hotels provided a way to use my card for tips I might use it, though that would deny me the enjoyment I get from the exchange of notes that often occurs over the course of a week's stay.
Site's can not do anything with Bluetooth API unless the user explicitly granting them permission to use the feature. A site can't even query the devices around the user without the user getting a very clear and actionable prompt - so in this case it is nothing like the orientation API.
In Shanghai and Beijing the average household income is $7,000 a year.

If it isn't a developing economy, what would you call it?
> This idea won't work, because Bluetooth is an atrocious protocol.

I would agree.

I was at our hackerspace last night working with a SDR transceiver ADALM-Pluto and tuned in to the 2.4 802.11bgn spectrum. Its a clean swath of radio for comms. Its easy to establish a connection. And the bandwidth graph is cleanly edged.

Then I look at the Bluetooth part of 2.4GHz... Holy crap. Each device frequency hops like a rabid rabbit. And when you look for a device, over the radio it looks like its just dumping beacons everywhere in the hopes that something responds.

Just viewing a device with bt connected, and looking for a device makes it clear that their scheme of BT is -bad-. Its a bad protocol, bad detection strategy, and bad usage of spectrum (yay raise noise floor for everyone).
Piggybacking for a Postgres question: I have thousands of legacy software instances all around the world, running Postgres with very marginal internet connections (think IoT). I’d like to continuously get all their data into my cloud. Should I use Postgres built in async replication for that?
I would bet it was the work of humans also. There are claw marks, but it seems like very few. Isn't it possible that a clawed creature found this hole and lived in it at some point?
Please back up your claims with evidence.
Well actually, current developed countries owe developing countries for not paying for the externalities (pollution primarily) now causing climate change that were not paid for by the developed countries while they became developed.

That's a purely economic argument and leaves out the exploitation of developing countries by government supported corporate entities over the entire period of colonization.

So actually, you're right, they "don't owe [them] shit." What they owe them is getting rid of the shit that was created in the first place.

Some people are not competent or rational.

And you cannot get a decent job without a place to live, which also puts pressure on bankruptcies.
You cannot share an apartment when you have a family or when you cannot afford even that.
Agreed, but it goes even further, as it open up attack surface for the other side to discredit a story, and more importantly, the story teller, tainting all future stories. I understand that media writes for their readers, but I think it's a lesson one has to learn to actually affect change and convince the other side.
> There is no reason to continue giving China - an economic superpower - a discount on mail.

Yes, working to negotiate a change to that particular element of the UPU price structure makes sense (which is why Canada already did it for China-Canada mail.)

Whether rage-quitting the UPU makes a lot of sense (even as a negotiating tactic), is a different question; the UPU is more than a Chinese discount.
Yeah, sorry. Looking back into it looks like I was really re-inventing the wheel here. Still a fun exercise for me. Thanks :)
What valuable raw materials would those be? I'm assuming you can deduce this from just the photos as well.
Are you saying that China was not a victim? They literally had millions of civilian deaths in WWII. I've seen figures from 14 million to 20 million. Never mind the destructive effects of western imperialism up to that point.

As for Mao holding back China, no doubt there were big problems. But the greatest increases in life expectancy at birth came under Mao [1] and his push to greatly expand access to medical care and education in rural areas. That was itself an investment which set the stage for future growth. (It's a lot easier to get things done when your people aren't dying at age 45.)

This is cool guys. Kicking things off at the right time as well. However think I might be missing a few things.

1) Wasn't the whole point of email moving to the cloud to enable access on any device anywhere? If I move my email to Helm can I still access it on the go?

2) Assuming I can access it on the go. I'd need pretty fast upload speeds right? I live in Australia, and our internet is god awful.

To keep a constant population or you end up with a bubble. What people also don't realize until they think about it is that you want a higher rate as that means higher probability that there will be people funding your social security when you are older. That requires 2.2 in the USA and rates like 1.5 mean a bubble of older people and not enough paying in.
You’re really reconstructing a data depence graph not an interference graph. In an interference graph, there is an edge between nodes that are alive at the same time. That information remains implicit in the OOO machine (because a physical register stays allocated to a value through retirement). In a data dependence graph there are edges from operations to their operands. You need to reconstruct the data dependence links explicitly—during renaming you need to map the input operands to the correct renamed physical registers. This is where “renaming” comes from. You “rename” the architectural register operands in each instruction with the corresponding physical register or tag: https://www.d.umn.edu/~gshute/arch/register-renaming.xhtml. After renaming, the data dependence graph will be explicit in the reorder buffer.
Congratulations for the release!
PostgreSQL is, imho, a great example of how open-source software can be stable and performant. Kudos to the team
Luckily there is a very easy way for people to avoid paying for shipping... although maybe things have changed since I was young. Shop at local stores if shipping costs make buying by mail too expensive. Like it was forever prior to Amazon.

Prior to 2005 it was consistently less expensive to shop at the local CVS, book store, or radio shack than to order online.

If my business model requires public subsidies for shipping my goods to turn a profit, my business model is garbage since 100% of my profits are literally taxpayer funded. Maybe small quantity mail order batteries from China isn't actually a reasonable thing to have and it maybe actually costs less to buy batteries in giant crates and have them available in local stores.

I might even say that this is obviously the case (for the battery example). Plus you build the local economy rather than subsidizing it's obliteration.

Humans have been able to calculate the present value of children for a long time now. One could easily see the value of extra hands in a farming society, and even now if you can raise a few high earners then you have some backup if/when your retirement doesn't pan out or you need medical assistance and company when you're old.

Personally, I would optimize at 3-5 kids (depending on age of mother), assuming 1 or 2 of them don't turn out to be economically productive for whatever reason. And they also have each other as a support network. I would go for at least 2 kids since economies of scale start working for you and you can reuse all the stuff for first for subsequent ones. One child seems suboptimal as it seems like putting all your eggs in one basket.
Jonathon Haidt has actually done some great scientific work on the real differences between liberals and conservatives. This is a shortish version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs41JrnGaxc There's also some more detailed and longer versions if you poke around on YouTube a bit, plus a book you can buy if you're really interested.

I don't think your characterization of either side is particularly accurate. Neither side is utilitarian, and both sides are plenty deontological, just with different rule sets. Both sides are rationalizing deeply-held instinctual beliefs, or the lack thereof.
Big monolithic Python projects will face dependency issues for sure. However, softwares structured into simpler, smaller components, using the right languages for the right tasks, will probably have simpler dependencies for each modules.

That's what Go and tools like Bazel allows for : static builds, which forces to modularize the project into smaller independent components.

In case of static builds, the protocol between components is the C ABI, or an RPC protocol, but it could be a mesh of microservices too.

What is currently happening with the explosions of tools with Python is the result (take it with a grain of salt, only my opinion) of people only working with Python and not exploring enough outside of it

Food is cheaper now than it's ever been in history. I'm not too horrified about the idea that the price of beef might rise a bit. (As an aside, for a while I used a CSA that raised heritage breed turkeys in addition to the regular old white turkeys that are 99.9% of the market. Heritage turkey cost twice as much, because it's literally twice as expensive to raise, per pound. Delicious, though.)

Unfortunately, I think a lot of the anti-meat push is the sort of hairshirt puritanism that is part of the American cultural heritage. Enjoying things is sin.

If you go down that road, then you would also have to conclude that all prisons are for-profit prisons, since the guards are always paid employees. I think that's misinterpreting or misrepresenting the way "profit" is being used in this sense though.
That isn't enough information, what is the cost of living?
Thanks for sharing that. Powerful stuff.
Agreed. Trello is great for high level items, or for breaking down a specific project. It seems much more cumbersome for things in the middle where you are trying to focus on many different projects at a deeper level.

My wishlist for Trello would be a parallel spreadsheet like UI that would make it easy to view and modify details of a large number of different cards in 1 go.
Maybe we should add 'induction' to the list.

I can think in several reasonable possibilities to check for. I'm assuming that you are able also.

I'm an experienced Linux user, and I've certainly dealt with driver issues (sound and wifi were my biggest hurdles).

However, I've heard more and more success stories recently, especially if you spend a bit more than the absolute minimum for your hardware. I or my co-workers have successfully installed on several laptops without any driver issues whatsoever, and some were really cheap pieces of crap (~$400).

Driver support has come a long way over there last 5 years or so, and I've actually had more trouble getting drivers after a fresh reinstall of Windows than Linux.
There are only 4 companies that make chips anymore, at least at the latest CPU technology.

GloFo (serving IBM and AMD), TSMC (Serving Apple, NVidia), Samsung (serving Qualcomm, Samsung), and Intel (serving themselves).

GloFo ran out of money this year however, and will no longer compete with the high-end. Forcing AMD to make their next generation chip on TSMC.

Memory makers are their own market, and are ignored (ex: Micron).

---------

Fabless just means you send your chip designs to one of these fabrication labs (TSMC or Samsung... since GloFo is now out). And its TSMC or Samsung who makes the chips for you.
I get that feel from anyone who cares passionately about something. Especially when that something has a deep philosophical core that challenges us to cut away our programmed/instinctive behaviors and critically analyze to find meaning in a universe that may not have any.

Ten Legislative Victories You Helped Us Win in California
I am curious how that translates.

Cost of living will be substantially lower, I am not sure by how much but 5 times wouldn't seem unfeasable. That would translate to $35k per year which sounds similar to plenty of European countries, so might buy a reasonably comfortable lifestyle there. Anyone with any more knowledge care to comment on this?
Maybe it would seem forced for say, McDonalds, but it is on-brand communication for Discord. They are all about "made by gamers for gamers"-- maybe you use Discord in a different way than me, but there are multiple servers in my list that are just straight memes.
Private companies (e.g. the airlines) are not making the requirements; the government regulators are.
If you need to work with cutting-edge python tools (e.g.from GitHub) it’s often easier to use virtualenv to control the versions you need installed.
I think you're making a general statement, which I agree with in general, and I'm making one based on the nuances of this situation. It matters what you are non-neutral about and it matters if you provide a platform or not. Many see great value in neutral platforms. It should just be clear that picking and choosing winners in this way can harm that appearance of neutrality that may cause other [potential] users of your platform to be concerned about which side of the collective bed the employees will wake up on and kick you off. You can either be consistent or be seen as a risky proposition, especially in foundational contexts where lock-in applies.

>Dating the burrows also remains guesswork at best—animals don’t dig holes after they go extinct. However, they had to have been dug at least 8,000 to 10,000 years ago, when South America’s giant ground sloths and armadillos vanished.

Can AWS be non-neutral? Sure, legally and even ethically, that's fine.

If AWS is non-neutral, will that hurt their ability to attract clients? Absolutely. I'm the first one in line to abolish ICE, but if AWS starts kicking people they don't like off of AWS I'll also be the first one to stop using it. Sure, we agree on ICE, what about companies that make violent video games? Companies that make firearm accessories?

> you would also have to conclude that all prisons are for-profit prisons

Maybe there's an interesting thing to say here - some people people are against for-profit prisons because they think they encourage imprisoning more people as it creates more profit.

But if you have a non-profit, government-run prison in your local area, you may still be encouraged to imprison more people as it creates more profit for the local suppliers to the prison.

So yeah it doesn't matter if the final user is for-profit if you think there is a risk that profit is driving something you don't want.
Hard to say for sure without knowing more but I would probably build my own custom protocol for syncing this, because the replication (both binary and logical) is built with the assumption that you have a reasonably constant connection from the master to the replica. If not you will start to build up large amounts of write-ahead logs.

They had good PR with businesses but I don't think they really cared much about the opinions of end users. When the overwhelming majority of computers sold come preinstalled with your software you don't really care if people dislike you.
