Why do people bring up Venezuela for any social experiment? And should humanity give up after one failure (even if we call that).
Well, the thing is they make it easy to find a main course. Without all the vegetarian and vegan products you would have to sort through the products that aren't explicitly marked that way to get a guess about which ones contain meat. Plus they taste good to me. I'm not looking for something that "tastes like meat" lol. As though I am just dying for meat. Nope, I'm quite fine actually.

To the point where I want to move off of dynamodb to aurora because I can't believe how hard it is to get simple insights like how many rows exist out of dynamo (I inherited the dynamo choice would not have used it myself)
"Some languages (like C) require programmers to manually manage memory by specifying when to allocate resources, how much to allocate, and when to free the resources."

This is not required of programmers in C, because the programmer could choose to delegate memory management to a memory management library, such as the Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector. [1]

They do ish. There's Medicare which is state sponsored health insurance, Social Security which provides a stipend every month in retirement and a bunch of NGOs they fund to provide meals and other stuff.

Both 3M and Amazon make a profit on these! 3M's cost of goods sold is probably $1.25.
Pensions are insured, so in theory you can't lose everything just because the company went tits up.

Also, I don't have statistics handy but as I recall, we tend to think today that pensions were far more common in the past than they really were.
Do any countries actually provide that where it has worked out well? A quick Google search for "does Europe have a homeless problem" returns a bunch of articles about growing homeless problems and and they seem to have the most safety nets outside of oil backed economies and socialist economies and the socialist ones are much worse off then capitalism based ones as far as I know.

I have had the same experience in the US. An assistant rather than the ophtalmologist is the one that does the vision test (I guess it's called the refraction?). The assistant then dilutes my eyes and after that is when the ophtalmologist comes in to do the checkup for my eyes for issues.
> Social security, Medicare, general health, income security, and veterans benefits and services take up over 62% of the United States federal budget. How should socialism address this growing problem?

What exactly is the growing problem? That those services exist? That they cost money? That the government doesn't spend more on other things that it should, messing up the proportions?

From a socialist's perspective, I don't think the fact that those programs take up "over 62% of the budget" would even be considered a problem at all. However, a socialist would clearly see it as a problem if they're mismanaged or wasteful.

> there's a socialist collapse in Venezuela being broadcast.

To be honest, it seems like that collapse has more to do with authoritarianism and rampant corruption than socialism.

> Before then there were pensions which seemed more stable. Only thing I wonder about them is what would happen to the pension if the company went out of business.

"Seemed" is exactly the right word to use, there. At least you're asking the right questions though, so please don't feel so unhappy about it! Here's a hint which has remarkable general usefulness: if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Disregard the environment and think about the ethics ...

Classically farmed meat involves raising animals into captivity, rearing them in poverty, and sending them off for the slaughter. I'd feel less ethically corrupt if my burgers came from beans, not beef.
I'm 34, and I think the number of conversations I've had where homeschooling came up could be counted on 2 hands, and all were entirely voluntary on my part. I was homeschooled 1st-12th. Any sense of not fitting in was gone by sophomore year of college, and I hear it's pretty normal for freshman to feel that way.

It's terrible news for the environment. In terms of environmental harm, vegetable farming is easily the most environmentally damaging human endeavor. The distant second is raising livestock. The most environmentally friendly method for humans would be the "hunter gatherer" diet ( wild vegetation and wild animals ). But we might be too populous for that to work.

If you care about the environment, this is the worst news. You essentially have to farm one plant ( either grain or corn or soy ) to feed livestock for your burger. How many different types of plants have to be planted to produce a single burger? And of course, most of those plants can't be raised in frigid canada so they'll have to destroy the environment elsewhere.

Not to mention plants are nutrient deficient and as a result people have to eat far more of it which means more farms and more environmental destruction. Ever wonder why grazing animals have to eat constantly?

It's amazing how PR has convinced people that industrial farming is actually good for the environment and animals. I guess if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.

Show me an insect burger that costs the same as a beef burger and I'll gladly buy it. Alternatively - cut subsidies to meat producers, which will raise prices for animal meat, so the insect burger can be competitive.

AFAIK, so far only cricket protein bars exist and they are sold at a huge premium ($4 vs $2) compared to whey protein based bars.

As a consumer, I'm just not interested in paying double for an alternative. Never mind that the alternative may not even taste as good.
You're getting downvoted, but I agree. Portabello, black-bean patties, beet patties, shredded squash... there are lots of awesome sandwich friendly vegetarian options which don't pretend to be meat.
How? As in, what is the actual mechanism by which this issue would go away? These "workers dependent upon Oracle for sponsorship to remain in the United States" are supposed to do what with that new information, exactly? Threaten to leave the country?

I hear this a lot from well-paid tech workers. Just two days ago I responded to a comment here where someone said the solution was for people to "just negotiate better". Right.

That's why I am for unions. Get professionals to negotiate on the workers' behalf, and have everyone agree on precisely the factors (experience, etc) that should be used for determining salaries. Then nobody is dependent on either the goodwill of their employer or their own bargaining skills for a fair salary.
I exchanged an email with the Product Manager of some Azure DevOps component that comprises the build pipelines. They’re well aware of the need for caching. Hopefully it comes soon!
Same here. I just moved from France to Tokyo last year and I bought a new pair (same characteristics).

France: 380 EUR, including cheapest frame (80 EUR), regular lenses and ophthalmologist (80 EUR). (I had no health insurance.)

Japan: 10800 JPY including pretty good quality frame (5000 JPY) best lenses from the store and no ophthalmologist.

In France, it is not uncommon to have a 500-1000 EUR pair on your nose. Not because people are wealthy, but because they have the health insurance which pays. The first question a glasses store clerk asks is: "Do you have your health insurance card, please? We're gonna check how much we can spend".
Thanks for sharing. I run a doorstep laundry service that uses software to make the process more efficient, cost effective, and reliable, so this struck a chord with me.
The article skips over one important point - people are living longer, and are generally a lot healthier at "retirement age" (60-65) than a generation ago. While the number of young people decline, there's no reason why we can't expect people to continue working for 5 or even 10 more years than expected to make up the difference.

I believe what really needs to be fixed isn't birth rates but rather income inequality/working-class wages.
MBP with no Touch Bar only has two USB ports.
More importantly though, the XPS13 has a quad-core CPU, while the others are only dual-core.
Society was encouraged by policies that remove kids from danger (eg transport them in a metal box instead of walking. Don't trust anyone! Stay away from roads!) in place of removing danger from kids (eg road calming measures and shared streets around towns and schools, or pointing out the vanishingly small chance of stalkers and sex offenders being strangers outside institutions or family).

Thus letting go becomes seen as irresponsible parenting and so it escalates.

We chose to resist this trend with our kids as much as possible and to hell with what anyone else thought.
Totally agree - there is a bit of a feedback loop as media shapes the cultural expectations. It’s really unfortunate because the vast majority of people are cattle and just follow the herd - no independent critical thinking. Worse is when someone does stick their head up to buck the new norms, as you say, people are ready to guilt you or question your judgement.
I love the Dell XPS 13 developer edition I bought over the summer, and it has been a better value store than the Bitcoin I sold to buy it with.
>people can't afford to have kids anymore.

I don't think this is the issue. It's much more a cultural thing, statistically richer countries have lower birthrates.
But getting married and having kids is no longer accepted as "just what you do". Less people are getting married, that also may play a role.

I'd also imagine it's different in different areas. Might even map to incomes, or political leanings of different zip codes.
Believe it is about opening the lid, not the case.
If the company went out I’d business and the pensions had enough to cover the people with pensions then it would operate as usuall as long at it is solvent.
I agree about the "desire" to eat meat-like products with the vegetarian/vegan set. None of my vegetarian/vegan are into the fake meats at all. Most don't even try it once.

I think the market for this type of fake meat are meat eaters with an environmental awareness.
They are already pretty widespread, but expensive for now. I have to regularly use at work a Dell XPS 13, a macbook and a Lenogo Yoga. The monitor I use is an HP Z27 with a built in dock, where I have a keyboard and mouse connected. Whenever I have to switch a laptop, I just unplug the usb-c cable of the monitor from the laptop I am using and plug it to the new one. It takes a couple of seconds and I have my full setup usable again. The best thing is that it also provides power to the laptops, so I do not have to plug them.

In the past, when I was connecting a laptop to a monitor I had two options:

1) Use a proprietary dock. This is as convenient as the usb-c cable, but you can use it with a single brand of devices. Also, in the case of the usb-c cable you are free to move the laptop around the desk. Not so easy with a dock.

2) Plug the monitor and the peripherals directly the ports of the laptop. When you have to switch laptops frequently, it feels like this process is taking ages. It also looks ugly to have an octopus laptop on the desk.

Having said that the dedicated usb-c docks are notoriously problematic. I have tried a lot to find a single one with more than 3 star reviews, but it seems impossible. At least, I have not heard complains about the built-in docks inside monitors. In this case though, you have to make some sacrifices in the number and variety of ports. For example, in my case, I do not have ethernet.

There may be many checkouts but you will be aware of only three: your own and the one on each side. There is only a one in three chance that yours will be quickest, so you usually feel that you've picked wrong.
I'll admit that Windows is a bigger offender in this regard, but Linux Desktop has become quite bloated too.
It doesn't seem this would be an undue burden for a company that was keeping proper records.

The court shouldn't care what kind of burden it is for a company whose records are a mess. Giving into that creates a moral/regulatory hazard.
I haven't read that one, but Gatto is well worth a look. He has several books, but IMHO "Underground History" is by far the most interesting. He was a former NY State and NYC Public School Teacher of the Year, so knows of what he speaks.

I'd say "yes". I tried an impossible burger. It does a pretty good job of imitating meat in a way that my Morninstar and TJ's quinoa and bean burgers don't. However, I don't think I'd choose the fake "meat-like" stuff over the real, if given a choice. (I try to only eat red meat a couple times/month, though, so it's pretty much a treat for me.)
Because all else being equal, if you want to do more, you have to spend more.

Are you seriously expecting things to become more efficient? That's very optimistic for a nation with so many key economic factors for its working citizens stagnant or declining since the early 70s. Very optimistic.

That's fine for people with office jobs. But manual labor wears your body down, and at that age many workers find it tough to retrain and start over.
What defines rich? Private jets and Lamborghinis?

I’m not familiar with the SF cost of living, but Nerd Wallet says a 2 bedroom apartment is about $4k per month. I figured $7k is more accurate so I’ll assume $96k in rent per year.

$300k is roughly taxed at 75k for an individual with no exemptions and standard deduction. That leaves $225k of actual cash to spend or save.

Ok, so after rent and taxes we’re at about $129k. I see cost of living for food and transportation is higher than Texas, but I bet you also drive less. Does that fancy tech company provide meals once per day or more? I bet they do. So, you have $125k left to spend on food, transportation, bills, entertainment, and invest.

If you invest 20% of your gross income - $60k - you’re still left with $65k to spend on those things. That’s $5400 per month or so. I’d bet that buys a lot of $15 coffees and $30 lunches. Or hookers and cocaine, if that’s what you’re into.
The more glib the delivery, the higher the burden of proof.

My family doesn’t know this, but I have a solid retirement plan. It’s not really a retirement plan in the traditional sense, because I won’t be able to retire from the workforce and enjoy the spoils no matter how hard I try. However, when I’m no longer able to work for money, I’ll pull out my gun and put a bullet in my head. I’m at peace with the idea because it leaves me free to raise my child in the best way possible. What happens to me after is unimportant.

Apple is a bit more competitive here, mostly because Dell raised their prices, though interestingly the high end Apple options cost more here and the low end Apple options cost less.

My current laptop is a 2017 XPS 15. The Windows wifi drivers were rubbish on launch, but they finally patched it early last year.

The say they have a REST API. Could you use that directly from Python instead of using an SDK?

I've seen a similar situation with payment processors, where they have SDKs in a variety of languages, but not the one I'm using (our back end is in Perl), so I use the underlying low level API.

Amusingly, it often happens that I look at their Java or PHP SDKs, which involve seemingly a bewildering number of classes and methods, and find that just using their underlying REST API directly is massively simpler, clearer, and takes less code, to the point I don't use their SDKs even if I am working in a language they have an SDK for.

But payment processing is pretty simple. Third party authentication is probably more complicated, and so it could be that the SDKs are doing a lot more than just providing a fairly straightforward wrapper for the underlying low level API.

I think you forgot one case : it’s psychologically extremely hard to abandon something you’ve been working on / believing in for a huge part of your life, and start over from scratch, no matter how smart you are ( i’d say the smartest you are, the hardest it is to believe you’re completely wrong) . So teachers could be tempted to hang on to the narrowest hope their work still has meaning and keep taking new phds and this could last for a very long time.
Another option may be extensive automation coupled with wealth redistribution. Japan appears to be pursuing that, to some extent.
The reason socialism is scary is that there are a lot of great-sounding ideas that, taken to extremes, turn out to lead to everyone starving and the political system becoming vulnerable to dictators.

Now, you say '[democratic socialism can] ... coexist alongside of capitalism just fine'. It seems much more likely that it is actually normal socialism with the names of things changed. The issue with socialism is that it vests decision making power with government (topically, the thing that is shut down in America at the moment, showing how reliable governments are).

Decision making power can really only be vested with one person. That person might be a capitalist, a politician, a bureaucrat, a worker or a customer. The only system we know reliably works is a capitalist/customer hybrid where major decisions are split between the two (capitalist gets the how, customers the what), with very mild influence from the rest (eg, safety and environmental regulation, wage negotiations with workers).

When the government starts making and enforcing allocation decisions like 'everyone must be paid this', 'everyone gets a house' or 'everyone should get medical attention', it doesn't matter what you call it - wealth will be destroyed. If the wealth destruction exceeds the ability of the economy to create wealth, there will be mass suffering. It doesn't matter what it is called.
It would be nice if our compilers had the ability to directly incorporate the source code into the binary in some standard way. E.g. on Win32, it could be a resource, readily extractable with the usual resource viewer. On Unix, maybe just a string constant with a magic header, easy to extract via `strings`. And so on.
You could easily set up a state(or federally) run pension company that companies would contribute to. That way they couldn't be underfunded either, and there'd be some oversight. They do it for public service workers in Canada.
Something I've wondered about with Web Assembly applications is, how do I actually view the web assembly/compiled blob? E.g--with normal Javascript, I can go to "sources" tab in developer tools and download all the JS, but how do I download the wasm?

> To be honest, it seems like that collapse has more to do with authoritarianism and rampant corruption than socialism.

I think the critique of socialism is that it leads to authoritarianism and rampant corruption because it eliminates economically productive ways to provide for yourself.
