It's not that simple. No one can agree if a given minimum wage increase results in a workforce reduction, and if it does by how much. There is no consensus here, which probably means at the minimum wage increases we've seen, the effect is negligible.

Here's my favorite recent example:

https://www.pollbludger.net/2017/11/15/sex-marriage-survey-6...

One thing I like is that it's so simple. There's a scatter plot of Australian electorates. One axis is how they voted in the same-sex marriage plebiscite, and you choose the other: average income, percentage over 60 years old, how many speak a language other than English, etc.

As you flick through the options, you get one amorphous blob after another. Then you choose "percentage of atheists", and you see the kind of straight line that usually comes from a physics experiment.
I work in AI for general usage applications.

I think that there's some valid criticism here, although I don't think the target demographic is kept well in mind when considering the project as a whole.

In the current iteration, a majority of commercial market consumers wouldn't be skilled enough to perform the installation properly, or at the least, adequately to achieve acceptable system performance. I think that the barrier to entry is just high enough to keep Cousin Vinny from sleeping in the back of his cab while his "self driving truck" got him from A to B.

I've personally purchased a vehicle with the explicit reason to install OP after learning of Comma back in 2015. It's been one of the funnest, and most rewarding personal projects I've taken on.

I never drive with my hands far from the wheel, or my eyes off the road. While there is certainly going to be some hyperbole surrounding new technology, my assessment is that this alpha quality, DIY solution has been adequate for my use cases over the last 2,000 miles in various weather and road conditions.

I think that the comments here about loss of life and limb are overblown. If someone engages in sex and uploads the video publicly to PH while mowing down a pedestrian in the process in their "Tesla", I think that speaks more of the driver than it does the technology. One could argue that the tech enabled them to do so, but so what? See footnote: Gun Control Debate.

I think what Comma is doing is rather smart as a company. Keep the barrier to entry high which naturally attracts skilled, and otherwise knowledgeable people, build out their codebase, and eventually release (or lease) their tech to car manufacturers that need help catching up in the marketplace. I don't really see another way a scrappy startup could accomplish as much in the self driving market without some risk.

I don't really lift weights, but I've disassembled my vehicle's EPS motor. I think I have a fair chance of overpowering it, even if the controller doesn't include "deterministic, real RTOS" or whatever flabblebabble. Commercial release? Sure. #shipit

But for now, I'd be more concerned about people staring at their crotch while driving browsing Instagram.

Wrong. Everyone incorporates in Delaware because the Court of Chancery[1] has some of the most professional and consistent judges in the country. Both parties know what the judge is going to decide before it ever gets to trial, which makes reaching settlements and thus saving money far easier. A good businessman can work within the constraints of virtually any consistently applied set of rules. It's when court cases become roulette games that massive inefficiencies arise.

Interesting thing about annuals, is that they needn't be anywhere near as problematic as they have become.

Consider - any plant which died after three months without reproducing is pretty improbably as far as evolution is concerned. And yet, there are millions of naturally occurring annuals.

That is because naturally occurring annuals are "perpetual annuals" - annuals which reproduce within that three month period, but effectively lie dormant in seed form until the next time the climate is beneficial.

In nature, these are plants which have evolved to thrive in a specific climactic condition. They optimize _hard_ for those conditions, to grow fast, to make babies (seeds), then self seed either in-situ or far and wide. Then they die off to improve the available nutrition in the soil (ready for the seeds to sprout next year) rather than burn up a whole lot of energy just keeping themselves alive through the rest of the year. It's highly efficient. A single corn plant can produce potentially dozens of new corn plants in a subsequent year - one plant per kernel. These are the "perpetual annuals" - technically annuals, but self managing so that they continue to produce every year.

Perpetual annuals are highly resilient. Their short reproductive life cycle makes them very quick to adapt to local conditions. The same physical space can be productive for much longer periods of time, with spring plants dying down to make way for summer plants, then for autumn plants, then a winter where the land lies fallow, building up rich sediment to feed the next year's crops. They also make polycultures very practical: smart sequential plantings can mean that, say, a nitrogen hogging plant like a broccoli can be sequentially planted after a nitrogen _fixing_ plant like a pea, so that plants aren't always sucking up the same type of nutrient and effectively wasting the rest.

Unfortunately though, many modern annuals are not actually _perpetual_ annuals. And it is precisely our genetic modification that has made them into problems. We have selectively bred these plants to the point where they produce seeds which are infertile, because that makes it possible for the breeders/suppliers to keep selling seed year after year (rather than selling seed once, knowing that farmers can then propagate themselves in perpetuity). In particularly extreme cases, we've bred plants that _literally have no reproductive organs at all_ - seedless watermelons and seedless grapes, for example. With these plants, the "annual" life cycle is genuinely plant, grow, die. End of the line. Start again from scratch.

Planting hybrid perennials is definitely better in terms of human labour, in that you will get multiple harvests from the same plant. They're also good for the environment, because they provide stability to soil. However, in the grand scheme of things, the best option is a blend of _both_ perennials _and_ perpetual annuals. Ideally while allowing the plants to reproduce naturally, rather than trying to optimize genetics for short term commercial traits.

The nice thing about yEnc is that it only has to escape NUL, LF, CR, and the escape character itself '=', so it essentially uses all but 3 characters out of the 255 possible values.

While this works over NNTP, SMTP and IMAP (and possibly POP), I'm not sure if it will work over HTTP if any of the servers use the Transfer Encoding header.

Reminds me of of one my first projects. It was a basic contact entry form for a Dog Rescue. It was a PHP form dumping to FileMaker. I had updated been testing the form and forgot to update the FileMaker connection strings back to the prod DB.

My boss called me around 9pm saying WTF. I started stalling, put him on speaker, then remoted in and fixed the strings (this was on my Samsung Blackjack running Windows 5- I think). I told him to check again because it was working for me. He gave an incredulous “huh” and said see you tomorrow. I thought I’d gotten away with it. He called me in first thing the next day- told me straight up: I get that things break, they don’t tend to fix themselves. He gave me a chance to own up, and I didn’t. I was young, and dumb. Said I don’t know what happened. Couple years later I realized he knew. I’ve since learned that it’s almost always better to own up. Even if you’re never caught, most people will respect the honesty. Those that don’t probably have their own issues.
> Again, unsure the relation to genetics here, but this also isn't true. Muggsy was a god and is 5'3". Curry is 6'3" which is definitely tall, but among NBA players, not that tall... but his skill level is far, far, far higher than his height would indicate. The statistical variation between height and skill, even in the highly-artificially-selected-for population of NBA players, doesn't correlate perfectly enough to derive a good predictor. You just can't say "the taller the player, the better the player." Not even on average! So, it's not useful information.

This is actually a common fallacy - height is a fantastic predictor of NBA skill, that's why something like 15% of everyone in the US over 7' tall will play in the NBA at some point in their life. But once you've limited the question to the set of people who play in the NBA, it won't be nearly as good of a predictor of skill - because you're measuring after a selection effect.

Read somewhere (attributed to Mark Twain);

"The Old know too much to not take any risks; the Young do not know enough to not take any risks; and what amazes me is how they achieve it time after time."

Paradoxically, I think that the "Dunning–Kruger effect" (within limits) is actually necessary for us to evolve. Think about it; if you don't jump into the unknown with confidence, you won't learn/do anything. It is important to assess risk but also know when to stop obsessing over risk.
A good thing that came out of this was raising awareness of BMC risks. Their remote features are rarely if ever robust enough to connect to the net in good conscience.

> Page response time is not limited by your connection speed.

Pardon my skepticism, but this sounds like bullshit.

Based on the docs, the pages are downloaded from bittorrent-like network. So not only your connection speed limits you, but also upload speed of the other peers.

...well, since the upload speed of other peers will probably be slower than your download speed (based on my bittorrent experience), the statement is technically true. :)

U.S. Births Fall to Lowest Rates Since 1980s
If you ignore Webster's aberrations - as every attempt to simplify spelling historically, has ended up complicating it, and he was no exception there... Like the 16th century attempt to simplify the language that had scholars adding letters so it was more internally consistent with Latin or Greek roots. Thus debt was created from det, doubt from dowt, scythe from sythe and hundreds of others, and a few got shorter - warre becoming war is the only one I can remember. The other reforms and "simplifications" weren't prettier.

A surprising amount of Americanisms, and even spellings - like recognize instead of recognise - not only started here, but were once preferred as more correct! It's only fairly recently that The Times - last 20 or 30 years - dropped "Oxford spelling" (As the OED goes that way too). Nowadays if you use that variant someone will inevitably cry Americanism. Web spell checker is, of course, whining about -ize above as it's in GB mode.

Yet it cuts both ways - there's a lot of real Americanisms that have been forgotten in the US and are never identified as such in the UK.

Got/gotten - British laziness or fashion decided gotten was no longer necessary somewhere along the line. Yet we still use forgot and forgotten. Go figure.

Given the sheer quantity of English that's been begged, borrowed and stolen from other parts of the world, I don't understand the singular picking out of Americanisms. Though the US "I could care less" clearly only makes sense as GB's "I couldn't care less".

It's probably worthwhile to point out that the trend toward remote work poses real risks to remote workers by increasing their physical isolation.

I've seen drug's prices fall by a factor of 100 when they go off patent. That patent prices are just robbery, considering that the big pharma companies have just quit doing research into things like new antibiotics. They have to have super-high prices on things they can make for pennies on the sale price, so as to fund new research? Great! Tell me what's in the pipeline! Nothing, you say!? Whaaat? Why do we have the high prices again?

Now that they've used DBM, DFP, and AdExchange to cement their U.S. ad monopoly, they can only get more growth by shutting down the flow of money to the rest of the internet. So they need more inventory of their own to compete with that of their clients' (e.g. other websites that use Google Analytics, DFP, GCP, AdWords, etc).

This protein doesn't come from the green peas that most of us are used to, they come from the yellow split pea variety. It's a while since I ate them as-is, but I recall them tasting more like lentils than green peas.
Truth be told pea based proteins are heavily processed. To keep costs down they (generic) use produce from China and often will change one step so it can be called US made.

Some of the processing techniques use some pretty nasty hydrocarbon solvents, which are largely filtered out.

Just like renewable energy though, it’s not nearly as clean as it seems at first glance. But as in both cases, it’s still progress.

This was not just Boeing and was common across wide swaths of professional pilots.

On that note, legally, I don't think there is anything preventing you from automatically mirroring all MIT-licensed repos as well and pulling in some organic search engine traffic that way. Don't know if that also applies to the comments, pull requests, etc., but it's an intriguing move and definitely one I'd consider as long as there is a sane way of allowing the relevant users verify their ownership of a repo via GitHub API if they wish to "claim" the corresponding automatic gitlab repo.
