Even automated plants have lots of labor opportunities for highschool grads. Some of the bean plants I worked in were ostensibly automated, which meant it still took two or three people supervising the plant during operation. (In the un-automated plants it was more like 10-15 people needed, so there was definitely a big difference.) But even when the whole processing line is automatic you still need people around to unclog machines when they get jammed, hit them with hammers when they start acting up, replace bearings when they start screaming, rake up all the beans that fall on the floor, unclog all the drains that get filled with scum, rake beans out of the back of the truck (because moving-floor trailers never get all the beans out.) Each automated plant is also basically assured income for any local mechanic, who would typically get called at least a few times a week for any problem I couldn't fix with a hammer or wrench.

Do you run everything on the machines you only execute your own code on as root?

Most people don’t. It’s a defence in depth thing — if someone hits an exploit in a service you want it to be running the lowest privileged user it can get away with so that it can’t rapidly pull all the data out of other subsystems, roam out into the local network and dump DBs, etc.

With these vulnerabilities unpatched, an attacker running code as the low privilege user account can sniff credentials for other accounts on the machine, or underlying host, private keys that authenticate against this machine and therefore probably others in the network, etc.

I’d say it increases risk quite a bit.
If the argument is that a degree is an investment (I.e. future payout >> upfront cost), then we must think of the opportunity cost in not investing in citizens, but rather slotting in foreign students.

This is why the government subsidizes tuition via pell-grants, etc.
If you're struggling with scheduling work time and getting things done I'd like to recommend https://www.focusmate.com/

You book 50 minute video sessions and are paired with a random other person who wants to get work done. You start by saying what you intend to work on, and you finish by saying what you accomplished. That's it, other discussion is strongly discouraged.

I work from home and have nearly unlimited leeway over my time. This is not such a great thing, with unlimited freedom I tend to wander or do nothing. This service has helped to provide a human expectation and environment conducive to work. It's free and the days I schedule sessions are distinctly more productive than the days I do not.

I been musing on whether there should be some small barriers to joining, as there is in jury service - perhaps the elected get to oppose a certain number of candidates, or they must pass a civics/governance test first so at least they've some technical knowledge going in. I can see that being twisted into something bad though.

Much as I dislike the Lords Spiritual in the current system, I wonder if the sortition should embrace it and be a "tulip farm" of certain interest groups e.g. 20 each for religion, business, justice, commoners etc, as then there's a definite base of understanding in important areas.

However it would be arranged it'd be hard for it to be worse than having the Lords full of lords though.

Like any conservation work, the benefits are incredibly easy to ignore - until something goes awry / stops getting funding and suddenly it's too late. Consequently it's easy to have a myopic view of the issue.

Elon musk takes hands off the wheel. https://www.businessinsider.co.za/elon-musk-breaks-tesla-aut...

Tesla very much makes it sound like that you just need to sit back and enjoy a coffee while your car drives. Many imagine that the car will give them 5-10 seconds of heads up before takeover is needed.
It's actually the opposite. Rare but harsh punishment doesn't deter crime a lot. However frequent but light punishments are very effective. After someone goes to prison for 10 years that person is already used to prison. You can no longer change the behaviour of such a person through further deterrents.
It isn't just for closed source stuff. Some developers actually care about the user experience and don't want to have to tell people "sorry, you have to wait until someone comes along and decides to package that for your distro, or compile it from source!".
oh okay, I shouldn't assume everyone can buy cars at the US price. still if you move down to BMW m3 or amg c63, price and performance are comparable to p3d+ (though the Tesla does have a 0.3 - 0.7 lead in straight line acceleration).

I think your point still has some merit though. it could be that fast and quiet EVs don't provide as much sensory feedback to say "hey guy, you're actually going really fast". it could also be that people who are not usually interested in performance ICE vehicles might go for a performance EV for the novelty.
What do you consider high status? Top 10? Top 20? A poor kid coming out of University fo Wisconsin (ranked ~50) is not going to look as good as a Harvard grad, but so what? That's my point, only a few thousand kids are ever going to get to be from Harvard. That kid from Wisconsin is going to do great, and have plenty of opportunity. It does a huge disservice to imply that he is lesser or lost out because he didn't make it to Harvard. Same for the kid who goes to the local community college. He will obviously have less opportunity than if he went to opportunity, but that doesn't mean he won't have a lot of opportunity, and enough to live a good life.
Yeah but knowing that every time you listen to a record the needle removes a bit of its lifespan is not a great feeling.
Even before the insurance denies, it is basically impossible to get someone that is delusional/psychotic mental health care in the US, unless they go in voluntarily, which they won’t, by the nature of the illness.

A friend that has been certified mentally ill stopped taking his meds and was fantasizing about killing himself, a family member and shooting up religious organizations. His doctor, family, employer and friends all called the police, talked to lawyers, mental health professionals, etc.

The end result was that he was facing sleeping in a car that was about to repossessed, and eating in homeless shelters. At that point he decided to accept free housing in exchange for seeking help.

His family’s only other recourse would have been to pay tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees to petition the court to force the police to uphold the law. This would have had a medium to low chance of succeeding.

Of course, during the months this dragged on, he missed an insurance payment or two (he had also been fired, divorced and evicted), so it lapsed.

There is a 12 (6?) month wait to get government disability insurance to kick in for this sort of thing, and the clock starts after the mentally ill person goes in for scary interviews with the government to establish they’re actually crazy.

The law used to handle this sort of thing properly in California, but Regan repealed the lions share of it as governor, and loopholes that accidentally allowed people like my friend to get health care have been progressively closed since them.

Nurses at the intake office of the appropriate mental health facility in Santa Cruz told me that most of the homeless people in the Boardwalk area there are in exactly the same situation as my friend was in, except they’ve been trapped in it for years.

If a genie came up to you, demonstrated its powers to your satisfaction, and then gave you the choice:

a. Give him 20 dollars, or
b. He retroactively erases your favourite book from history

You'd probably pay him.

It's basically patronship. You pay someone to make art for the sake of the art (or social standing, or whatever). It's not perfect (you can't predict reliably whether the artist will make anything good, and there are questions of incentives damaging the art) but it's better than nothing, and these days, with the internet, patronship can be crowd-funded.

It has been successful: I've read several webnovels written as serials whose authors are being supported on patreon by fans, essentially being paid for the act of making directly rather than by selling. It's probably usually a paltry amount, but it's something: it shows some subset of people want to give money to authors when they don't have to (the serials are released for free).

All of the major ESPs (email platforms) are moving to be marketing clouds.

They realized they were well suited as they store much of the audience data and logic for that sort of automation. Then they just need to connect to other platforms which is relatively easy integration.

This in turn gets them more lock in with features and data. Exporting all that data and logic is a major headache. I know because I've dealt with such a migration twice now.

Since there's still valuable data about unsubscribed users if they are wired up to your DB, and since you could presumably still retarget them with audience lists in other channels that aren't impacted, I understand this move.

Likewise, their pricing change from auto changing your pricing tier to having you forecast is fairly standard for large email platforms, but frankly a little customer hostile imho. It shifts the risk from them to you to know your volume. Sure if you want true pay as you go, you can use the underlying mailer tools (Amazon SES, Sparkpost, etc) but business users will struggle with that.

Just curious how your experience has informed your thinking on this subject.

Way to paint with an absurdly broad stereotypical brush with absolutely no substantiation.

How about small government? Maybe people are worried about turning healthcare in the U.S. into even more of a dysfunctional bureaucratic nightmare like the current VA? What about ideals like self sufficiency? Avoiding centralization of power? Wanting power over one's healthcare and the choice to go without?

No, much easier to dismiss 50% of the population as "racists" without even attempting to understand that they may have perfectly reasonable values that are contrary to your own. Ironic that your own comment is a racist stereotype.

That’s a fair point, but even still there is a massive gap between the fungibility of USD and art. Assuming all your money is clean, there’s literally no difference between any two given dollars. High value art on the other hand is at most produced in limited editions, and a lot of the super high value stuff is literally unique.

Which driver? How do you determine it was actually the autopilot that caused the crash? What if it wasn't the autopilot?
> - Nearly 1.25 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day

20% of those are from motorcycles where collisions are far more dangerous. Of the remaining cars, a number of them happen in stronger weather conditions (where autopilot does not function yet) or cars that are old and unsafe. The number of fatal accidents for luxury cars with modern safety ratings under good weather conditions is much, much smaller.

I'm mainly curious as to how team Mojang plans to solve multiple builds in the same location. Ranked by popularity? Swarm mechanics like Niantic?

Idk. I could see myself getting some good wows from this after a few years when the most talented builders have come by and placed some cool stuff. I don't think it's bad, it's experimental tech which continues to break new ground in a game I've enjoyed for a good decade.

Sure, they'll probably bumble it just because this is unexplored space and Daddy Microsoft is at the table, but I think Mojang is just excited to be in a position to try something so interesting.

Depends on the size of the bag. Critical to the discussion, since you'd only be checking luggage too big to put in an overhead.
Regional labor shortages are a BS excuse. Every business in those states, whether they are paying illegal wages or fair wages, will ship their labor in. When I was working in Indiana they shipped me in and put me up in a cheap hotel, just like they'd do if they were paying an illegal wage.

Contrary to the popular narrative, businesses CAN pay migrant labor fair wages. Few of them will voluntarily do so though, which is why this country desperately needs revamped modernized labor laws.

Probably so, but that's irrelevant to my comment.

> have some (so far, it seems) irrational hatred of them

Since I'm expressing my opinion rather than making a technical argument, I'll admit to the "irrational" part. AMP pages are less useful to me, bring unnecessary third parties into the exchange, and I dislike them.

I don't hate them in the sense that you imply, though. I don't care if others see AMP pages. I just don't want them myself. That's no more "hatred" than saying that I prefer not to eat a certain type of food.
I think this is correct. If we accept that stress causes or exacerbates mental health issues, and if we accept that money can reduce stress to a degree, then it makes sense that the poor will have more mental health issues, and it's one more thing that the wealthy can see that appears to be fundamentally different in outlook or resilience between themselves and the poor, confirming the narrative that it's really their exceptionalism that is responsible for their current situation, and not luck or inherited wealth.[1] Yet another differentiator that prevents empathy.

1: That's not to say there aren't exceptional people that are wealthy, just that being exceptional is not a prerequisite to being wealthy, or even becoming wealthy (but I'm sure it helps in that case).
It works that way in a Tesla. If the system doesn't detect your hands on the wheel (using rotational force on the steering wheel as a proxy), first a message appears on the screen, then seconds later the screen flashes blue, then a few seconds later the volume on the radio is lowered and the car beeps at you urgently. If you still don't touch the wheel, a few seconds later the hazard lights come on and the car slows to a stop.
