> The pictures of huge queues aside, USSR was a huge jump in standards of living and consumption for millions of people compared to before (which even included a tradition of serfdom).

A huge jump? Versus the tsar regime, probably - it was a catastrophe in itself. But compared to the Western world, GDP growth was miserable and clearly behind all "modern" countries in comparison.

> About Science

Your argument does not refute anything of what I mentioned. The Soviets were behind in most disciplines. And their had clear ideological barriers that prevented them from doing actual Science, in case you forgot:

> Already in 1920s, certain fields of scientific research were labeled "bourgeois" and "idealist" by the Communist Party. All research, including natural sciences, was to be founded on the philosophy of dialectical materialism. Humanities and social sciences were additionally tested for strict accordance with historical materialism.[2]

> After World War II, many scientists were forbidden from cooperation with foreign researchers. The scientific community of the Soviet Union became increasingly closed. In addition to that, the party continued declaring various new theories "pseudo-scientific". Genetics, pedology and psychotechnics were already banned in 1936 by a special decree of the Central Committee. On August 7, 1948, the V.I. Lenin Academy of Agricultural Sciences announced that from that point on Lamarckian inheritance, the theory that personality traits acquired during life are passed on to offspring, would be taught as "the only correct theory". Soviet scientists were forced to redact prior work, and even after this ideology, known as Lysenkoism, was demonstrated to be false, it took many years for criticism of it to become acceptable

and...

There is this thing about soviets is that you can't at the same time fight Truth in all areas of daily life, and at the same time promote the scientific method. It's just not compatible.

It's completely consistent. From the description, in this job if you're overweight, or slow, or stubborn, or have chronic illness, or otherwise can't handle hard physical work, you're not suitable for the job. "Meritocracy" doesn't mean "judging only by how smart someone is", but "judging by how well one can do the job".

How about providing a WebExtension that exposes the bits that require a binary (e.g. P2P and possibly proof-of-work part if WASM does not work for you) or are provided by the platform, then you can waive the Electron requirement for those who do not want it, plus your web interface potentially works the same for read-only visitors and users (who have the web extension installed). You can also include the frontend bits in the WebExtension so no one relies on the website working anymore.
This is very true - I was a physics undergrad and learned to code working in a project at cern. While the underlying physics was the foundation of the project, the day to day work was all coding: processing and analyzing the huge amounts of data coming out of the experiment.
My major subject in highschool (2001-2004) was science. Now I work as a software developer.

All the top-level comments are making excuses for inconvenient facts. I'm guessing a lot of folks on Hacker News believe themselves to be objective analysts and yet are blind to how their bias against the minimum wage is causing them to look foolish in ignoring any new information that might possibly conflict with their world view.

The ONLY proper response if you're a critic of this study (if not with the methodology, which nobody here has found ANY problems with) is to say, "well there's a wide variety of findings on minimum wage." Instead, you have people intentionally misreading the study, making ideological claims about the "value" of the work minimum wage workers do, or a conspiratorial claim they reversed because of "pressure" without any evidence whatsoever.

It's quite sad to see people so willing to reject inconvenient facts.
There is a historical reason for this. Religion is practiced by Doctors of Divinity and science by Doctors of Philosophy. At the time of Newton education or universities were controlled by religious doctors. After Newton Doctors of Philosophy took control of the education. Doctor means someone who is licensed to teach the doctrine. So at the fundamental level religion and academia are organized exactly the same. Only doctrine is different. In this system cult simply means an outside hierarchy organized by an unlicensed teacher. But both are cults.
> Meanwhile, in the real world, C++ programmers typically use operator+(int,int) with UB on overflow because it's conveniently built into the language.

In more than a decade of coding with C++ I have never been bitten by a signed overflow bug which is UB. However I have been hit by unsigned underflow (e.g. if(2u - 3u > whatever)) way too often even though it is perfectly "legal" from the point of view of the language.

I also recall hearing that as an undegrad curriculum, the lectures never worked well (even when feynman himself was teaching them). His way of understanding physics is beautiful but not intuitive for most people. I read them after getting a degree in physics and it was fascinating to see his approach precisely because it was so different (and elegant) than the way it is typically taught, but I could not have understood them nearly as well if I had not already learned the concepts in a more traditional way.

All that is to say- The Feynman lectures are wonderful, but I would not recommend them as a first text.

Oh, it's been a long time :-), but I'll try to dig through my memory.

I think I liked the Gerthsen, our Profs also recommended Demtröder, which was OK, but somehow I never liked it as much.

In theoretical physics, Nolting and Fließbach were good -- though I cannot remember which topic I learned from where.

I did my Diplomarbeit on spin transport in mesoscopic systems, and really liked "Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems" by Datta, which at the time seemed to be the only accessible and clear writing on the subject.

Disclaimer: I tended to go to the lectures very regularly, and mostly learned from there, so the books very mostly supplemental material for me.
Prostitution is a harder issue because the worry is that by its nature it will still be exploitative and harmful even if it's legal. If prostitution would be safe and healthy for the women most feminists I know would be for it, the worry is that if you legalize it in the US legalizing it will sort of industrialized the harm that's currently endemic to the system. Feminists ultimately want what's best for the women and in this situation I think that would be legalizing it but it's not completely clear (also many feminists I've met are for legalizing it but are just less sure than on more obvious issues like abortion).
> That line at the end - "luck is not a business model" - a classic.

Funny in context of this site, though. While "luck is not a business model" for the one who's to hope to be lucky, other people's luck definitely is a business model. In fact, it's the startup investing business model.
you've romanticized higher education into something it's never been.

The most logical and efficient option is for the government to subsidize some open source books for crucial topics and then provide a testing and credential system to prove knowledge on said topic.

Cities across the country survey their homeless populations in January, at least every two years. You can usually Google "city homeless count/survey" to get the reports.

For example, San Francisco: http://hsh.sfgov.org/research-reports/san-francisco-homeless...

Los Angeles: https://www.lahsa.org/documents?id=2059-2018-greater-los-ang...

According to the 2017 SF survey, 10% of homeless were out of state when they most recently became homeless. According to the 2018 LA survey, 14% were out of state.

I am not sure if you should entirely trust these numbers, or if they are asking exactly the right question---everyone involved knows that there's a right answer and a wrong answer to the question---but it's the best we have.
He didn’t say it would attract all men, he said he would attract a lot of men. That’s not stereotyping. Strip clubs attract a lot of men, but not all men like strip clubs.
> it is convenient to exclude numbers that are called units (numbers in which all other numbers are multiples of it).

Thanks for this explanation. I used to be puzzled about 1 being not a prime but now I feel better.

But can we also propose that 1 should not be considered a number? Because 1 is the unit with which all other numbers are measured.
I don’t find it to be racist (unless your definition is ‘someone who talks about race’).

But it is exceptionally lazy. Rather than making the case they wish to directly, they’re offloading that work onto their audience, many of whom will obviously defer to popular generalizations. The majority of the time I see “privileged white male” shorthand, what the author is talking about is character and behavior, both of which can be warped by one’s environment or social status. But hiding that entire analysis in three words does wrong by the reader and makes it easy to view poor behavior as some kind of essential trait rather than a failure of socialization.

If we’re looking to shift patterns of misbehavior or help people understand them better, that’s a bad way to start.

I'd offer 2 reasons:

1) Cocaine hasn't the stigma of junkies.
Cocaine's junkies are often highly productive individuals often paid accordingly.

2) In a way, the same self-improvement logic that allows yourself to guzzle down "soylent" or "huel" allows yourself to take a nose once in a while. It's like a mega-triple espresso.

While crack is known for its junkies it's also used among high income people (They somehow manage the teeth issues as well I guess). I've noticed that weed users regard cocaine users as *holes, while cocaine users regard weed users as losers.

On a more practical side of things - how do you mix your application code with TLA+?

E.G. Do you have a "proof" project and a the code in different directories with comments in the TLA+ pointing to the files in the actual code?

It would be incredibly nice if I could put TLA+ proofs in the comments next to every function or module I am working with and then choosing which of them to be proved. But that seems to be way beyond what the toolset allows you to do.
> $200k wasn't in the top 5%, even in 2013. Squarely in the top 10%, though. Source: [...]

This is incorrect. The source you cite lists the average income by percentile group, which is not the metric one wants - the average income of the top 5% is skewed by the incomes of very high earners.

One actually wants the lowest income in a percentile group; the top 5% started at around 197,000 in 2013.

I'd say it's simply that the opportunities for programmers (demand) outweighs the number of people trying to make it (supply). For actors, musicians, chefs, and yes entrepreneurs, the number of opportunities (demand) is outweighed by the number of people trying to make it (supply). This is possibly awkwardly true for entrepreneurs in a strange way; at least for actors, musicians, and chefs, the path forward is clearly laid out, you know where the opportunities exist. For entrepreneurs, you need to figure out where the opportunities exist, besides being able to deliver the goods too. Maybe it's better to say that for entrepreneurs, there's a qualifying matching supply and demand problem, while for actors, musicians, and chefs, there's simply a volume matching supply and demand problem.

I don't think it's about luck. I think it's about supply and demand.
I could substitute pretty much any country for China and any bad thing for "this" and I'm fairly sure that what you've said would be true.

The only things that seems to differ is where the corruption takes place and whether exploiting that corruption is worthwhile.

In less controlled countries, it tends to be with the power structures that fill the vacuum.

Germany actually just introduced minimum wage a few years ago. They did not actually have this. Their unemployment rate is at an historic low. So the arguments used against that here did not quite pan out either.

But of course Germany was a bit of an anomaly in Europe: this stuff is old news to most of the rest of Europe.

Regardless of ideology, the debate seems to be about the cost of minimum wage (especially on the right side) and not really about the benefits. The benefits of not having abject poverty in your society are many. Minimum wage is an important tool for that. Regardless of your position on this, you'd have to consider both cost and benefits for any analysis worthy of that word.

To name just one such benefit, people with disposable income tend spend that income on things. This is great for the local economy. So instead of funneling money up the corporate hierarchy towards off shore accounts, a second house for the CEO, or whatever, funneling money back into the economy where it actually gets used has an effect on that economy: it grows.

Seattle seems to be doing fine demonstrating that this works as advertised. More people can afford to go to restaurants so the restaurant business is booming. That should not be that surprising to economists.

If the goal is to try to understand nature, make your own curriculum. Most people, myself included, initially believe the physics hype and believe that by studying academic physics they will gain new understanding of nature. I believe this is not the right way. It is better to start by asking a specific question. For instance, I am curious about what matter is. So I ask myself What is matter? and try to answer this question. I divide my question into smaller questions. Until I find a question easy enough to answer. I take it from there. But if I enter a physics curriculum in a university, I won't be able to ask this question for 20 years. The answer will always be in the future.
