Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the honesty. I have added my experience to my post now.

Some more info: We raised a ~$1m seed recently at a $6m post valuation. As I mentioned in my edit, I have ~3 years experience building web apps for startups and have definitely the experience, knowledge and responsibility of a mid-level engineer at a larger tech firm. I do really like working with our team and our product is solid, we're at the stage where the business will either thrive or die in the next 6-12 months.
The quoted statement in no ways tells you anything about the relative salaries of Swedish vs “American” employees, because it’s comparing public salaries vs GDP/Capita. The “American” numbers could be twice as good, but if the “American” GDP per capita is 1/4th that would mean the Swedish public employees are still paid twice as much in absolute terms.

Anyways, my usage of the word “American” is in quotes for a good reason. American is almost certainly a typo there and was likely supposed to be Austrian, Austria being the country right below Belgium on that chart.

None of the charts reference the US, and nowhere else is the US mentioned. This is data about European countries.
It works as long as the return value can be used to distinguish failure from success:

It seems Hukou is being used to somewhat control the urbanisation plans CCP have been implementing. They create “Hukou free” regions like Shenzhen for periods of time to cause mass migration and economic growth.

But it’s also created this strange “illegal migrant” issue in all the top tier cities (PK, SH, GZ, etc).

They do.
I used rocks few times as kid to build some forts from scrap wood. You could nail the framing together for any modern house with a rock.

However, if you bend any nails you can't pull the nail out like with a normal framing hammer. Plus you can drive a nail faster with a proper hammer. So just use a hammer.

Problem is with software the tool also become part of what your working on. So it's never quite like this hammer and stone analogy.

Really a better analogy would be fasteners. So for instance we just have screws, nails, and joints. A simplified thing comparison would look like this, and they all become part of what your building.

Nails
Pros
Fast to drive
Still pretty strong
Easier to remove mistakes or to disassembly.
Cons
Not as strong as other methods of fastening
May crack wood if driven at the end of a board.

Screws
Pros
Almost as fast as nails with a screw gun.
Stronger joint than nails.
Cons
Can crack wood like nails without pre-drilling.
Slower to remove.

Joints
Pros
Strong as the wood used.
Last as long the wood.
Cons
Very slow requires chiseling and cutting wood into tight inter locking shapes.
If it's any type of joint with adhesive it can't be taken apart.
Convenient narrative, but it's likely that this has more to do with their component business (nand, DRAM, LCDs, etc.) than their smartphone business. Samsung overproduced a bunch of memory just as demand fell through the floor. [1]

Also, your article on Apple's smartphone profit share is from April 2018, so more like 2017 than 2018. Not sure how relevant that is to 2019 earnings.

> EU’s agency or whatever are still going to have to rely on Boeing engineers input.

That is still vastly better than letting FAA + Boeing to keep misleading the public.

What FAA did are way worse than just PR nightmare, FAA didn't find out the design problem when 737 Max was given the green light to go kill people, after two crashes and 346 dead bodies, FAA still defended Boeing to the very last minute. It was the US president that ordered the 737 Max to be grounded in the US, not by the FAA, let's don't forget that.

FAA has no reputation left after the 737 Max incidents. The level of corruption is just shockingly unbelievable.
Nan Gates and Flip Flops, by Tom7 [video]
They make high end phones, but their sales volume doesn't make up for the margins. In terms of manufactured phone volume, the Galaxy line makes up a tiny fraction of their total sales.

I feel like the vast majority of the Android ecosystem foot gunned itself pushing its way out of reasonably priced device segments. There really are no modern equivalents to the Moto G or Nexus 5 or even early One Plus phones in the $150-$350 range. Its garbage up through $200, then a giant gap to $1000 phones.

Especially in the tablet segment. I can get why Google didn't want to try to single-handedly prop up the form factor with first party devices, but the last good (and reasonably priced) Android tablets remain the second generation Nexus 7 and Nvidia Shield from half a decade ago.

People that are addicted to things replace one addiction with another. These replacements don't have to be drugs.

You don't have that attribute, from what you described, and that's all there is to it.
That is funny. Governments and threehuggers created powerful incentives for that and now they are surprised.

Sometimes it's just a consequence of giving the government the power to create such legislation. If you're a manufacturer with deep pockets it generally benefits you that there be more laws and regulations because:

a) You can write them and create barriers for your competition
b) Unlike startups or smaller competitors, you can tolerate additional regulatory spending that doesn't benefit the customer
I'd like to see the book Animats mentioned as well. Perhaps you should encourage one of your colleagues to write it.
I kinda agree with you boss. I don't hate python, but I find semantic whitespace both tyrannical and error prone. Interestingly, Makefiles also have semantic whitespace, which seems to be much more commonly despised than python's.
It is the norm in many industries to cooperate with any law enforcement request received. In some, doing so is the only way to avoid being named a defendant in your customer's unlawful actions (or being hit with fines for violating an endless list of regulations that are violated by everyone in your industry and effectively impossible to not violate).

So you may be seeing some amount of guilty consciences here...
Can you explain what you're missing the point on, regarding the meaning?
Thanks for the input! I know fair is such a subjective word.

The thing about being hard to replace is we are using a fairly popular stack (rails) that although I have deep product knowledge, it would be possible to find a replacement dev, but at what salary is another question.

I actually get subsidized health care which is great, no 401k however.

I do think the company will be successful, the magnitude of success is still to be determined, the size of my equity grant would require a pretty large exit for a reasonable payout.
I won't recommend Xiaomi to anyone I like, and the demise of Samsung phones in China is more "emotionally" driven, yes Samsung phones are expensive, but so do Oppo and Vivo.

They are more out-marketed than "out-tech-ed".
OK. But if that evidence were adequate to exclude this new hypothesis, then one could reject it. And TFA says that one can't. That implies that existing empirical evidence is just as consistent with the new hypothesis as it is with the accepted one.
The early models also had the "click of death" issue where the drive would literally eat the edges of the disk.

The licensing of DVDs versus Streams seems to be out of wack. How is it that Netflix can license so many more movies to distribute through their DVD service than they are able to license to distribute through their Stream service?
Interesting take on things. There's value in thinking about equivalent models that allow potentially entrenched assumptions to be set aside.

The problem with that is that, in the US at least, taxes are set by Congress. Apart from the theoretical difficulties with the picture you present, the practical difficulty is that Congress is a dysfunctional, incompetent mess. Do you trust them to actually tax the right amounts, at the right time, to make MMT work? I don't. I expect them to make a total mess of it, and ruin the economy in the process. I don't want them anywhere near monetary policy. I consider any idea that requires them to correctly implement part of it to be doomed, in practice even if not in theory.
I'm not anti Samsung, and having used Xiaomi, definitely not pro for them. That said, it's hard to deny the value they offer.

In the premium market, Huawei is lapping them. Samsung used to vie for best camera. Now they're with Apple in lagging far behind the Pixel and P series.
Kind of related to something that I've been chewing on:

I've read things (outside of the OP) that say the universe is expanding and also speeding up it's expansion, as neighbors exert less of a pull on each other the further spread out things get. However, that gravitational pull is still there -- will it at any point slow down the expansion and retract back inwards?
MPL – Modular Pipeline Library

Cross-platform compatibility hurts exclusivity and revenue protection. Its why Disney et al are trying to claw back ground against the Internet with their own subscription based viewing platforms. Trying to get media companies to agree to almost anything that hurts their bottom line is antithetical to their corporate charters, they know lock in, exclusivity, and rent seeking done right is the maximal revenue model they can manage under modern cultural constraints, and they are optimizing for it - some will fail to implement it successfully, but those that do will probably reap the most possible revenue for their given library of IP.
I would like to see your evidence that MMT works in practice...
Now that I think of it, we should not be comparing US vs EU salaries. We should comparing salaries of public vs private sector. That’s the whole reason for the argument of under paid government employees. Underpaid in relation to the private job market in that specific country. The article I linked looks at this.

Sony has always been an enigma to me. They release devices that appear midrange or yesteryear, and I get excited because I generally test devices in that range. Then I see the price and wonder how they're even in the business anymore.
Unless the hardware supports it Apple will probably shy away. In this case, the WebRTC standard calls for VP8 (even though h.264 is becoming more common).
Wouldn't the gravitational pull increase? For example you would see less gravitational lensing in older galaxy clusters.
Are you fine with taxes paying for roads just not trains and buses, or do you not even want roads? The first is inconsistent and the second is a very small minority position.

Because this kind of infrastructure is heavy on fixed costs. It takes money to build or operate it, but once you do, the cost of the incremental car or the incremental passenger is so close to zero that collecting a fare equal to the actual marginal cost would cost more to collect than the amount of the fare. But charging more than that would unduly discourage productive use of the infrastructure that is already being paid for.

Which means the most efficient pricing strategy is flat rate. And since ~0% of the population consists of hermits who never use any form of transportation, that makes it one of the most appropriate things to fund with taxes.
I would agree but I’ve read so many articles on the “phenemomenon of chemsex gripping the gay community nationwide” that I believe the trend goes beyond mere extrapolation from my Bay Area experience.
This looks very interesting. However, I am not sure if I understand how would I best use this. Are there examples on how to best use? Apologies if this is a very naive question.
Thank you, I'll read into this.
> Not sure if that's in reference to my background or just a general comment. I do have about three years experience doing graphics programming professionally (1 year computational geometry), and many more doing it as a hobby, so working my way back up to it is not exactly an appealing prospect.

It was mostly a general comment, but I think an important one. I've been a rendering specialist for about 10 years, and I still occasionally encounter the "rendering" role that expects me to have more knowledge of some special type of hardware or something, and I end up being under-qualified for, it's just that kind of field I guess.

Also, cool looking CAD tool!

The Big Crunch will probably not come about - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch
The paywalled article cites Boeing, Wells Fargo and Facebook.

They seem like different situation.

Boeing is the more significant topic and it actually seems similar to the rise and then decline of the American life expectancy. In this instance, a continuing increase in medical technology can no longer keep up with declines in living standards and the increases in unhealthy behavior.

Boeing's problem come as a highly competent company pushes tech to the limit and then resorts to variety of unhealthy shortcuts to guarantee cost savings.

In both these cases, you have systems with a vast array of competent people, often making the locally optimal decisions but pushed by global pressures until they can't make things work.

Another analogous situation would be Intel.

The about these situation is the pressures aren't likely restricted to the US and aren't likely to go away.
If you are referring to AV1, it's still a year or two away (probably) from being supported in hardware and it's too complex for CPU encoding in real-time. H.265 is supported in Apple hardware, but not part of the WebRTC spec or supported by browsers.
Is this specific to corporate America? Scandals are all over from Vodafone to Nestle.

I am not convinced. Also, the fact that America houses larger percentage of Fortune 500 corporations, there will be more examples of American vs non-American due to the population size.

This is a generic problem with large corporations.
I always wonder about that. I remember very specifically learning 40(?) years ago that the expansion was slowing, supposedly proven by some sort of red shift in light. That is now out of favor, but a few more new facts just might swing things the other way again.

These are not normal basement rooms. Builders in China are required by law to build these bunkers that can withstand air strikes.

E.g.
http://www.sz.gov.cn/yjzhzx/ywgz_54281/rmfk/201711/t20171121...

Those bunkers are actually owned by the government. Using those bunkers for other purposes are against the law.

You can even find the build code for those bunkers with keyword GB50038 (Code for design of civil air defence basement)

> that gravitational pull is still there -- will it at any point slow down the expansion and retract back inwards?

No. If we are talking about the current best model we have of the universe, the dark energy density (which is what drives the acceleration of the expansion) is constant in time, while the density of matter (which is what causes the expansion to decelerate) decreases with time. Up until a few billion years ago, the expansion was decelerating, because the density of matter was high enough to dominate. But since a few billion years ago, the density of matter has been small enough that the dark energy dominates, and that is never expected to change.
I think his comment was mostly about the fact that you can learn a lot about relational databases by reading Postgresql's source. He did say at the height of NoSQL hype. To me, that choice of words gives subtle hints as to the historical context and a disclaimer about the pertinence of that decision. Thank you for your input though, it provides food for thought for the next person mulling over a similar decision.

This sounded interesting, till I foundd that it is only for iOS and OS X. Am I looking at the right thing? :-)
The paper that you're citing claims that "pure OOP" means "An object can only access other objects through their public interfaces". This feels like a very arbitrary definition to me, and one that does not correspond to what we deem OOP colloquially. Conversely, if the problem is "pure OOP", but most OOP that we actually use isn't "pure", then there's no problem.
That doesn't mesh with taxes being approximately the same percentage of GDP as they've been since 1950, and spending being even higher than that, meanwhile GDP per capita has been growing the whole time.

The only remaining conclusion is that we're spending it wrong.

Does the US not have a compulsory savings scheme? In Australia, we have superannuation which employers must pay and it goes into a fund that is invested. My scheme gives me approximately 17% and after around 12 years of my working life, I have a couple hundred thousand dollars in my account. By the time I retire, it's likely to be worth around 1.5 million in today's dollars. I also invest some of my own money.

Maybe he has great compassion for the lower classes - so much compassion that he would rather see them left in their current circumstances, bad though they may be, rather than led off a cliff by a Pied Piper.

The lower classes are in a bad way. They need help. But if the help is destructive, do they still need it? No, they need help that actually works. Anything else is not help.

So the discussion can't begin with the author's lack of compassion. It has to begin with, is he right? Or is MMT right?
Ah, OK, sure. And I assume that Lobster compiles to bytecode then, that gets interpreted?

The government's spending policy is already legislated.

MMT doesn't "work" or "not work", it's an analysis of how currency functions.

One can just as easily understand MMT and legislate a balanced budget if one wants to, but one wouldn't do than anymore than remove the oil from their car every time they finish driving it.

Once you understand MMT it makes sense to legislate a target of 0% involuntary unemployment.
