It seems pretty naive to think these market mechanisms are the primary factors affecting wages. Maybe this is the case in the US, certainly not in Europe. Otherwise teachers and caregivers would earn at least as much as engineers.

Top managers wages are completely fictitious. Investors generally don't care though, since it is basically nothing compared to turnover as a whole.
It's not a superpower at all--instead, I'd argue that it's the most important skillset (after understanding the relational model itself) for interacting with RDBMSes at scale.

You don't necessarily have to know whether an index scan is going to be parallelized or whether the CBO is going to switch to a loop because its heuristics think your result set is likely tiny to think about things like "is this data being accessed via the right indexes? Is the data likely in memory or not? Will my joins, given my consistency level, impose locks or concurrency considerations on the tables I expect?"

Let's not resort to such vage speculation. Low-income earners definitely have more to spend than unemployed people and unemployment is rather low right now in the USA.
Feel free to share with us another official source that shows that this increase in expenditure is a result of capital going to private players. There is a big difference between "seeing a pattern" and "believing in a pattern".
Business happens anywhere and everywhere. "No matter your transportation needs we can meet them with some combination of mopeds and small cars" sounds believable for a startup from any of the midsize cities in the region.

Regular people want a tool, not something you fall in love with and spend most of the day refining.

Most people have hobbies outside of the tech world, they will spend hours growing their gardens, but couldn't care less about "keyboard focuesed" or "run programs in the terminal" or "I quickly noticed the huge compile time of KDE".

If they can't use it properly, like they are used to, it's broken for them.

And they're not wrong.

Internet art will always be ephemeral. Protocols will eventually change, technologies evolve. You can't put your piece of internet art in your archives and wait for the value to go up. There's also just the barrier to entry on how you explain ownership of a piece of art that can be copy and pasted.

I definitely sit more on the cynical side, but only because I think the art world is mostly as you say, a complex money transfer amongst those in the know. Kind of a high brow pyramid scheme.
Its address generation is a bit wonky. It doesn't respect address formats of different countries. It assumes all addresses follow this format: "<Street name> street no. <number>, <5 digit postal number>, <City>".

An actual working random address generation would be kind of cool. But this really isn't. Plus, as far as I know, postal numbers are available from OpenStreetMaps' database or Google Maps.
WASM has been developed mostly outside of google (mozilla mainly) and is actually counter to a lot of the attempts google made to get similar features (e.g. NaCl). It's quite hard to claim google has had undue influence on its development.

I like biking and elliptical for strengthening the quads. You don’t need to push hard but you do need to keep you knees aligned correctly. Start at a physical therapist to learn correct positioning if needed.

As for minimalist shoe, these are shoes with almost no sole and explicitly no soft cushion or “support”. The intent is to mimick bing barefoot. Human bodies have evolved sophisticated shock absorbing structures. Use them. Zero is pretty inexpensive to try these type of shoes out but their quality is lacking.

Note, you’ll need 3-6 weeks to get used to them. Your feet will hurt until you build the muscles and learn not to land steps heel first.

I know about my tears from xrays. The surgeon didn’t think they warranted surgery if I could mitigate with other methods since they were not bad. He said the surgery and recovery is painful so why go through it as a first choice. I’m thankful he said that.

AI's Big Challenge
Slightly off topic but I found contemplating this possibility amusing:

Would it be possible that once we manage to eliminate obvious logical and contextual mistakes in the generated texts, they could be used to discover alternative (and consistent) views of the world (e.g. about art, philosophy...)?.

The AI would be able to create a huge number of theories and it's possible that some of them would be both interesting and original.

It would be a kind of restrained (restrained because we would prune mistakes we do not want the AI to make and wouldn't just be a random typing) infinite monkeys way of exploring theories about the world.

It would be even funnier if we could filter the subset of generated tests that is testable :)

Because wasm runs on the same javascript and not as a separate plugin. It will be a major feature of the browser and be automatically updated with it. (also it allows for feature discovery)

It has no relation to ecmascript, but you could say that it is integrated in (but independent from) javascript.

People say that it is not javascript because you can use ALL of the wasm toolchain without any trace of javascript.

> You're implying the creator of the website is okay letting you receive the service or content on your terms

The creator is sending the content to my machine for free. Whether my machine displays the ads (aka cancer) attached to that content is my decision.

Also regarding paying money, don't forget in pretty much any case you still end up tracked. If anything, you get tracked less by the ad-supported version because at least you're not giving them any billing information and are not consistently logging into the same account (which you'd have to do for your subscriber benefits to kick in).

> One day when our tech will limit you to a binary choice of ads+tracking versus paying money, which way are you going to swing once your hand is forced?

I'd love such a choice as it will allow me to say no to cancer & stalking once and for all. However it will have to be implemented in such a way that it's technically impossible for anyone to track me through the subscription system.

What Does Validation Mean? 4 Separate but Related Things
Obviously its purpose was to support Java, but a number of languages - most prominently Scala, Kotlin, Clojure, Groovy and Ruby - run on the JVM. With perhaps the exception of Kotlin, these are not especially Java-like.

There is an interesting degree of independence. A lot of Java semantics is not baked into the JVM, and in the case of invokedynamic there was for a time a significant JVM feature that java didn't use.

The JVM is a pretty decent target for languages with garbage collection, objects (of some form), and methods / functions. Those facilities are useful for most languages these days, and provide a large degree of interoperability. I don't have to really thing about ruby calling java and back again, no calling conventions or issues with garbage.

It will be interesting to see whether WASM will support those kinds of features.

> They can see a doctor in minutes, get open heart surgery, and go home for <$8000 within a week, with a high chance of survival. The only requirement is insurance

This is the same in any developed country (i.e. you can see a doctor if you pay), except that in addition to that most non-US developed countries also have the safety net of cradle-to-grave government run health care system.

This means if you dont have $8000 you can also get heart surgery and dont die.

Ideally with free & universal healthcare, you dont even get to the stage where you need emergency surgery in the first place. i.e. you'll be diagnosed and treated ahead of time when its not an emergency yet.

I've used both public and private in the UK. The benefit for the private health care is you generally get to pick when & where your appointment is (vs public when you are often told when & where your appointment will be and you need to change your schedule to get there on time ... although you do have some leeway in picking your clinic), and the places you go to do it are generally nicer places to be (decor, surroundings etc). If you need something truly urgently, the public system will generally get you seen as quickly as private. If its not urgent, then the public system has longer waiting times (because the truly urgent cases are getting seen first). Typically the equipment & treatments available in public clinics/hospitals is as-good or even better than the private clinics, and all the surgeons and doctors often do both public and private work.

tl;dr - Money generally just buys you convenience and nicer waiting rooms in non-US countries. The level of care is about the same IME.

> The analysis concluded that unless people took immediate action to counteract growth, global resources would be exhausted by the first few decades of the 21st century. In other words, civilization as of 1972 was projected to reach a total collapse by what is increasingly becoming our present day.

I've read it quite a while ago, but I certainly remember that the first few decades of 21st century, and 2015 in particular, was projected to be the "top" point in terms of overall life quality, and after that point, the humanity would slowly, but inevitably, turn backwards. "Total collapse" by this model wouldn't occur until the last quarter of 21st century, and "our present day" would be just the almost unnoticable beginning of stagnation.

One problem with life expectancy is how countries report infant deaths. USA has different standards than most countries, which as a result, it hurts their health statistics.

> well-known issue with cross-country comparisons of infant mortality is possible reporting differences for infants born near the threshold of viability. Extremely preterm births recorded as a live birth in some places may be considered miscarriages or stillbirths in other countries (Golding 2001; Graafmans et al. 2001; Sachs et al. 1995; Wegman 1996). Since survival before 22 weeks or under 500 grams is very rare, categorizing these births as live births would inflate reported infant mortality rates (which are reported as a share of live births).
