Obviously it sounds like y'alls experience has been different, but at the store I frequent in Chicago they have 1-2 people on staff doing this triage with everyone who walks in (though they just stand around the entrance, not at a desk). I definitely have had issues with wait time (I've mostly chalked that up to it being a very busy flagship location, but sounds like it's a larger issue), but they always check me in right away when I arrive, so I assume they are at least aware of the wait time issue.

Joe did talk about wanting a web where addresses are directly associated with an exact piece of content (i.e. addressable via a hash) and be able to live forever through some sort of distributed web.

I really hope that one day that vision becomes a true reality, I know there are lots of projects trying to tackle it !
One argument in the original article is that an awful lot of that >$500k income is just non-productive rents levied on the lower income brackets anyway, so discouraging wasteful rentier behavior is a net positive (as it reduces inequality) without reducing productivity at all, since rents by definition aren't productive, they just siphon money into top earners' pockets rather than growing the economy at all.

Decreasing rent-seeking in top earners will leave more money on the table for everyone else.

Yeah, I think the other factor that seems to be missed here is access to security patches for the hardware/frmware and OS. If you look at recent history with even the CPU attacks over the last few years Amazon and MS had access to the issue and vender workarounds months before even other large cloud players did. Digital ocean and other very large players were left holding the bag when the announcements were made with very short windows to get their systems up to speed. Consumer level onprem were waiting sometimes months for the patches/firmware and software to be available.

Not saying at all that is how it SHOULD BE, but if you are planning on pulling back to onprem (or colo) it should be a concern as it is a hard to mitigate risk.
Thats a lovely bed time story, to go with this lovely opinion piece.

However.

Perhaps fly your proud American flag a little lower, and little bit more respectfully; none of the things you’re suggesting are or will happen.

This (including the article) is a lot of political posturing which may have some tangible effect, but it will be slow, minimal and ultimately blunted by pragmatism from level heads on both sides.

The chinese may lose face and make some concessions, but youre fooling yourself if you think the factories in china will magically close, or jobs will magically appear in manufacturing in the US as a result.

This kind of populist rehtoric you’re posting is harmful to thoughtful dialogue.

I like to think the crowd here is better than that, but its the sort of contentious stuff that riles people up, and you can see that from the epic downvote fest already appearing.

Come on mods, this is pure politics, why is it on the front page?
That's why I said sulfur dioxide to put off the effects, while we develop nuclear-based mitigation technology we can deploy cheaply.

Sulfur dioxide is only one part of the solution, but its a necessary one: it's the tech we have now that works, carbon capture is a far off dream that costs thousands of dollar per ton of CO2
ah nooo

what happens is this:

1 User consumers spend less choosing other lower price non China products.
2. Factories move from China to India and other Asian
locations
3. Some Tariff money does get into US Treasury
4. I do not think that really any US Politician is worried about any increase in China unemployment...

The real strategy is this...

'Trump Trade Tweets Send Grain Markets Diving to 42-Year Low' - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-06/grains-so...
By guaranteeing that just about every man is matched with a woman, monogamy brings harmony and social order. Having millions of single men with no prospect of marriage would lead to more crime, resentment, strife, and so forth.
Framer Playground
Do we actually know this for certain?
We have a very curated view of many past civilizations and in many (most?) cases it is a very heteronormative view.

I have seen plenty of arguments that monogamy did not become "normal" until religion entered the picture and the idea of woman as property became a thing (ironically the fact that some religions reinforce this by a man having multiple wives).

There is absolutely no reason to believe monody and civilization matters in the slightest. At best you could argue (and I would agree) years ago needing to be concerned about a woman getting pregnant, but that does not hold any weight in a modern society.
I'd think that would be giving him too much credit. I think it's more of "a broken clock is still right twice a day".

Trump can declare tarriffs and fit the whole decleration in a tweet, it's instant gratification for his feedback loop and keeps all things Russia related further down the news feed.
There are huge economies of scale for these things too, and more importantly, there needs to be structure and people who know how to implement social programs getting paid to do so.

Typically polygamy has been asymmetrical and part of an undeniable patriarchal power structure (one man, as many wives as he can afford).

But if we're talking about symmetrical polygamy (multiple husband's and multiple wives), I see no reason why a modern secular society should care. Of course if everyone is married to everyone, is anyone married to anyone?

I vaguely recall a species in startrek that was like this.
Well, this allows to autoplay even if not muted :-P.

While it may have initially been under duress, the LDS Church seems to have long been fully invested in monogamy; associating the current Church with polygamy is more an example of anti-mormon bigotry than any current law against polygamy is.

It's not just a legal contract between the participants, it confers certain legal privileges (you could say the government is also a party in the contract).

A lot of people would be unhappy with InfoSys's CEO marrying all of its H1B applicants, or a pro-immigration activist marrying hundreds of refugees.

This is not to say that polygamous marriage couldn't work, or that nobody abuses monogamous marriages for tax or immigration purposes. But if only a tiny proportion of people want to see their real loving polygamous family relationships approved by the state, the downsides could outweigh the positives.
Not sure what you mean.

This isn't a typical tit-for-tat trade war that gets worked out at the negotiating table. Several current and former Trump aides want to outright topple the Chinese Communist Party. Quoting Steve Bannon in an NPR piece published today:

"I think ultimate success is regime change ... the goal is quite simply to break the back of this totalitarian mercantilist economic society."

The other thing going on, alluded to in the same article, is attacking China is red meat to Trump's base (42% of the American population, according to a recent poll). He's built it up into one of the primary reasons behind the collapse of American manufacturing. If the China bogeyman goes away with a splashy deal, will the base be satisfied? Or will something else have to be dialed up to replace it as a political and trading punching bag?

Many of them are contingent on the states around them also switching. People are tired of switching offsets during the year, but also find more value in the sun being up later in the day (6pm is more valuable than 6am). To complicate this, there is Federal regulation that suggests you can't switch to permanent Daylight Saving Time, so instead many states are suggesting a move to permanent Standard Time in the zone to their east.

I think it's unlikely that the map will be this complicated after some changes are actually adopted.
You have said a lot of things that are kind of true and not relevant to this. First of all, I think most of the people at the U-23 USA race in 2001 were not there to be domestiques. For an U-23 rider in a non-European country I think national championship is your big break. We can safely assume that at some point towards the end of the race they were both in it to win it. Then Mike kind of played Ian, but Ian LET HIMSELF get played. This scenario is very common in 1-day races. Like 10-50% of (pro, 1-day) races I would say end up with a breakaway getting away without enough of a cushion to have the luxury of cat and mouse, and in many of these cases 1 rider is stronger than the other. It's 'unfair' to the stronger rider, but this story proves that you can only trust yourself and teammates. So either drop the weak guy or make him help. If he doesn't help, well, actions speak louder than 'verbal agreements.' I still think it is a fascinating story and mad respect for both guys.

oh, we had tax rates like this, and it worked realy realy bad.

It was very hard for startup and small companies the earn enough equity, it was taxed away. Without equity it was hard to get outside capital, so the can't grow.

At this time Austria had a big state-owned industry, but this sector run into hard troubles.

In the 1980s the tax was cut, at state-owned industry won efficiency after privatization. Suddenly a strong medium sized industry could grow. In the 1990s the work productivity grow about 10% per year.

By the way for democracy it is necessary that there a no big tax payers. Big tax payers get big political influence. Huge political influence results in protection by laws, and this protections are usually as unfair as hard to detect. And it is nearly impossible to get rid of them.

The far better strategy is a wide spread tax and social fairness by social transfers. High profits has to be fight by concurrency and hard executed anti trust laws.

I hope this represents a fundamental shift in American trade policy.

American free trade agreements should only be extended to countries that have roughly symmetrical environmental policies, human/labor rights, market access, IP protection, among other things.

Any trade deals less this sensibility amounts to the exploration of people, the planet or of property rights, and should be taxed extensively.

Quantifying Visual Abstraction Quality ForComputer-Generated Illustrations
"Lost Its Luster" suggests we can point to a decline from peak. The basis for the article? According to the subhead, "In interviews, current and former employees..." Oh boy.

The article lays out the high: "As recently as 2017, the retail arm was generating an estimated $5,500 in sales per square foot, easily outpacing rivals. But that’s getting harder to pull off." And the low? Not specified. That number could be higher or lower in 2019, we are not told.

It turns out that a company employing hundreds of thousands of people has some disgruntled ex-employees who prefer the way things used to be. The writer suggests that this is the fault of the woman who ran the retail division until recently, not, say, monumental growth or a human propensity for empty nostalgia.

I don't see any factual basis for the headlines anywhere in the article. Am I missing it?
Historically speaking, rich men having multiple partners so long as they could support them all (plus any resulting children) was the norm.

Maybe the real problem is we now think even rich men should tightly comply with expectations of monogamy when that was never the norm.

> Perfect timing, what with US growing healthy at 3% and wage growth, and China suffering from debt overload and demographics decline

A stopped clock is right twice a day. Trump is a clown who has very near zero policy success (by his own agenda, not my opinion of his success). But his self-immolation strategy here might actually pay off. He's desperate for positive headlines (both to stroke his ego and distract from investigations into lawlessness), so hopefully he won't bluff his way into a stalemate.

The biggest factor working against Trump is the fact that he's just not credible. No one in their right mind can rely on him to honor any agreement he's ever made, so if I were China I'd be pretty concerned about the stability of any deal. BTW this factor also sank his domestic agenda: he can't get his own party on board with legislation because they don't trust him. His only options are to press buttons that Congress granted the President long before they ever suspected someone like him might take office.

Actually, the thing that really makes them superior is that they have a dedicated pick-up area in the store. You know exactly where to go and you can get out of there quickly.

With the Apple Store I'm just walking into a big room full of busy people. I have zero idea of who the hell I'm actually supposed to talk to or where to go get the thing I paid for.
It's a great refrain, yet after living through 40 years of successive privatisations, public-private partnerships and so on, it has repeatedly failed to deliver the promised better efficiency. Maybe one or two succeeded.

Profits and higher exec pay, certainly. Consolidated and bought up by someone else's state utility, as profit centre, yep. Removed from being a political football where the parties on the right of centre consistently under-fund something to "prove" it needs the freedom of private enterprise, again, certainly. Just about every effort to "bring the benefits of the market" to the NHS have made it less efficient, or added layers of additional expense.

Governments, of course, often did encourage, and achieve, sometimes remarkable efficiency. Until it became simply dogma to change it, for change's sake. Few services or arms of government got a blank cheque, except periodically the military. Not surprisingly there's considerable inefficiencies around military spending.

It's funny though, it usually turns out to be the privatisation, the socialisation of a private industry's pollution, accident or other abuses after deregulation that wrecks figures. Like, say, a private sector prison performing so poorly it has to be snatched back into state control, banking bailout, or the public private partnerships which prove disastrous for government return on investment. These are the ones castigated in assorted committees, who are constantly questioning efficiency and return on investment.
Yes. Picking up items at an Apple store still subjects you to mall parking hell, walking through the mall, finding Waldo to fetch your item and paying. I'de say pickup at Bestbuy or Home Depot is infinitely better... pickup desk generally at front of store.. ample parking steps away... in and out.
I'm a pretty huge reader of manga and I have been reading a couple of webtoons lately. Besides South Korean ones, there are couple of Chinese Webtoons that is based off of famous web novels that is really fun to read. South Korean webtoons tend to have "weird" formatting since its one long page rather like a book since its catered towards phones or tablets. I noticed a good amount of webtoons out of South Korea that is sponsored by Line originally but the industry has really taken off this past couple years with independent publishers. Not sure if this is true since I only see the English translated ones rather than the originals but I find that South Korean webtoons has a higher percentage of being explicit material. Not sure if it's because translators chose them on purpose since they have a higher click rate?

I have confirmed mercury toxicity through hair analysis, which is controversial and difficult to interpret. It is described in depth by an Princeton trained biochemist, Andrew Cutler, in his book, Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities.

This diagnosis has been confirmed by a dramatic improvement of symptoms upon treating specifically for mercury toxicity with low-dose chelation therapy.

My symptoms began when I was a baby. Before I ever ate any tuna. Before I was anywhere near a mercury thermometer. I've never had amalgam fillings. I've never been exposed to a mercury spill to my knowledge.

These are the facts that I am 100% certain on.
Please for the love of god tell me you are missing a "/s".

That a single person will give you every single thing you ever need.

Which... is bullshit.
I noticed years ago that I didn't have as much insight as other people who were much more close to the problems I was interested in. Even on non-technical topics, there was this realization I was just more noise in a sea of noise.

So, ultimately, write if you want to write. But, ... be comfortable with the fact that you might just be noise. :-) If you find an audience, they will tell you what they find valuable or make requests on their own.

You know where those factories aren't opening?

The United States.

Which seemed to be the whole point of this exercise.
Sure, I also believe it is a mix of both. But, this study is probably overestimating the degree to which the legalization is responsible for the change in attitudes.

Also, it is probably "only" accelerating a change that was going to happen anyway. For example, there were times and places when divorce was legal, but did not become "accepted" socially for a generation or several. So, I don't think the causation primarily goes from legalization-->social attitudes.

But, I agree it's probably a mix.
