It's hard to compare, you have perfect mobility when everyone is dirt poor. In the USA it's possible for people to get really rich, so measuring how many from the very bottom make it to the very top is not a good metric; especially when composing to other countries whose top is in the middle. So if you compare mobility between income ranges you will find the US to be more mobile.
Interestingly, you're probably awake for more than 3 seconds but experience propofol-amnesia. At least, I did: I spoke with my surgeon in post-op (and said embarrassing things) and he shared with me some other embarrassing things I'd said after I "blacked out" (count back from 10).

The amnesia was considered a benefit because it's not the case that you want to remember everything that happens immediately before surgery...

And to explain why they don't have, say, one core boost to 5.1GHz...well, let's see what siliconlottery says.

> As of 3/16/19, the top 38% of tested 9900Ks were able to hit 5.0GHz or greater.

> As of 3/16/19, the top 8% of tested 9900Ks were able to hit 5.1GHz or greater.

So, Intel'd cut their yield by more than a factor of four if they only let parts that could hit 5.1 into this bin. For a 2% single-core performance boost...
I tried to keep my statements factual and my own opinion out of it.

While “shit” was a bit tongue in cheeky the term “dirty” is used among practitioners because of the wide range of metabolic side effects that the atypical psychotics have. Seroquel is a metabolically “dirty” drug. Taken in therapeutic doses long term a high percentage of people will end up with metabolic syndrome derangements.

Likewise, in the US and Canada, is not indicated for sleep disorder/insomnia use either. In Lexicomp it’s not even listed for off-label use. That’s just a fact, I don’t know what you’re trying to convince me of. In the US there is also a storied history with Astra-Zeneca and a lawsuit due to their practices of pushing off-label use resulting in a $.5 billion settlement.

Another fact is that Seroquel was one of the most heavily marketed drugs ever to primary care providers. As my 100s of dollars of Seroquel branded swag my office accumulated 15 or so years ago will attest to (I am not a psychiatrist).

My own personal experience has been that most psychiatrists I’ve spoken to at a large academic center, are appalled at the idea of using seroquel for insomnia long term due to serious side effects and the consensus is that it’s MOA is mostly due to its antihistamine property. That’s really all I was saying.

Also most atypicals are not highly sedating, lurasidone especially so. I have not heard of it seriously being mentioned likely for primary insomnia.

Interesting! I use a similar technique on https://hnprofile.com

It differs in a few key ways, largely because I’m trying to solve a different problem.

I’m curious how this solution for knowledge extraction, vs the goal of summarization holds up in practice. I suspect (as they mention on the conclusion), even though data is extracted, timing is everything. Language and information changes over time and I’m curious how multiple sets of the similar, but different data in the corpus would be represented. For instance, “I live in Japan”, vs “I lived in Japan” vs “we live in Japan” but “I visit New York”

Where do I live, who are “we”, etc are still very difficult problems. Summarizations are a bit easier in that for the most part you’re just removing superfluous information.
If I am content, why would I care how much the wealthiest 10 percent have?

If I am not, how does knowing how much somebody else has help me?

There is nothing newsworthy here. The Fed and US government give an unjust boost to many people, both rich and poor.
I love Anki but haven't seen the code, but I don't think a rewrite is the answer, and in fact could result in a new code base with the same problem over long enough time. If you're noticing this problem, it would be great if you were able to get in touch with the author (maybe start an issue thread on GitHub) to at least start a dialogue to improve the state of the documentation and code conventions.
> things are better than they’ve ever been [...] So is there really a problem?

That's begging the question. Things are better for you, but is the improvement across the board or did the rich getting richer screwed over some people and made them even poorer?
Touché. Where can I find such offers?
That I have. I don't have any programs with notifications other than I put in a notification for the number of mail messages by myself. Many programs I use I wrote myself or modified for my own use.
> What I can't think of is a realistic scenario where it's possible to validate the session id in a secure way, but there is also some reason that we couldn't just use TLS with client certificates.

TLS with client certificates requires securely getting and certifying the certificates. Somehow. Yet many alternatives exist.

For some applications keys might exist in dns-- but in others no dnssec or names could be assumed.

For some applications the endpoints can be assumed to have a shared password, so some SPAKE can be used to authenticate.

For some applications an identity exists in some external consensus system that the other side can provide proof from, but which doesn't fit into the x509 model. (For example, if you wanted to use keys registered in namecoin to authenticate your identity).

For some applications you would like to use an anonymous group signature: "This user is on the authorized list, but beyond that, I don't want to know what user this is."

For some applications each party should be cryptographically unidentified, anonymous, and indistinguishable to from any other party unless both of their keys match, because otherwise you could track the parties around the internet from IP to IP. TLS/client cert lets you achieve this for one side-- you can decline to send the client cert if the server identity isn't to your liking, but you can track the server's identity around.

None of these examples fit nicely into the TLS/x509 model. All of them, including something functionally equivalent to TLS+x509clientcerts can be implemented on top of TCPcrypt.
Now do it with the median.
This argument is laughable. We all have smartphones so serious wealth inequality is OK? These days having a phone is a near requirement.
There's no way to make enough batteries for 100% renewable grid, everyone on the planet would need an electric car sized battery, which means you'd need 10000 gigafactories iirc.

Which is why I suggested 50% nuclear, 50% renewable. That's still about 100x more renewable than we have today
There are substitutes for CFCs and leaded gas. The switch was trivial for the majority of the population.

Drunk driving is still not solved, and Uber/Lyft have done more to reduce drunk driving in huge parts of the US with poor public transportation than harsher penalties.

Laws outright banning things don’t work when a huge chunk of the population will do it anyway. See, prohibition, the war on drugs, etc.

Incentivize alternatives, don’t ban without a replacement. Otherwise it will just disrupt and get overturned a few years later.
2 years is Day 1? AdWords itself didn't even collect user data.
The articles states the vast majority of android phones do not receive any updates but Google is able to collect valuable data from these devices. I beleieve this is a practical concern.
It's also what you do with the taxes..
Instagram is owned by Facebook and is thus cancer so not surprising. It’s like installing malware and then being surprised it’s doing something malicious.

On a similar note though, I just tried sending a tracking link for my Uber trip to my friend, and it tried to get contacts access permission (which I obviously denied) before giving me the link. I guess it preys on the fact that most people wouldn’t risk denying it thinking it won’t allow them to use the feature otherwise. Uber doesn’t seem to have anything to do with ads/stalking but it seems like nothing is safe in this day and age.
so true, made my day
The bar isn't higher for machines. If anything it seems lower. If the cop had given your wife a ticket after seeing that your daughter was there, that would be crazy.

When the boomers in HR bend over backwards to get more "women in X" and more "minorities in X", then "young white dudes" are going to take the hint and make their own arrangements.

That, and these kids (regardless of race or gender) are getting f-ed in general. I see so many places paying them less than what I was making in their position 20 years ago, and life didn't get any less expensive since then.
Computer technical support is fairly specific. GitHub provide support for their products yes but last I checked they don’t help you install device drivers.

I’d imagine it’s to stop the phone support scammers.
I think that's right, and it's compounded by the additional problems California creates such as occupational licensing hurdles. From the article:

I still login to a few every week. See you on FidoNet!
Start with things like better voter rights and then hold politicians accountable. I constantly see companies breaking rules and getting hit with paltry fines. And this happens for a bunch of reasons but one of them is that a lot of politicians don't bother chasing after these things because the companies drag them out and put out enough spin that it doesn't become worthwhile for punishment to be given such that the behavior is stopped.
Not if those who care about the environment are replaced by those who do not care after a generation or two.

Top tax bracket increase. For 40 years the top tax bracket was not less than 70% and for 10 years in that time the top tax bracket was not less than 90%. Basically, don't be a hoarder. If you really think you can spend your money better than the government, grow or start a business and take a tax deduction which will permit you to avoid the tax.

And in that same time period, most people did that. The incentive worked. Not many people paid 90% rates.

And the U.S. middle class wage growth was the envy of the world, it was the world's largest creditor nation, and we built massive amounts of private and public infrastructure.

But then we reverted to a neo-feudal and prosperity theology model. People either have to understand these things, and understand that voting matters, or the inequality will get worse and at a certain point civil society will break. It's automatic. Violence is the most successful corrector of wealth inequality humans have yet invented. Rational liberal types keep wanting to build something different, but plutocratic illiberals keep successfully convincing just enough people that being a hoarder has merit, is a right, or brings you closer to a deity, etc.

These are very old ideas, it's all very old history, none of it is original.
Most people in the US don’t have the option of going without a car, so you have to amortize the cost of obtaining a new vehicle over the total miles driven of current vehicle.
It's not that twitter is not doing anything , but that scamming people out of crpyo currency and money is very lucrative owing to human gullibility and the viralness of the twitter platform, so scammers have an incentive to keep finding loopholes after twitter closes existing ones. And most scmamers fail to bypass twitter security measures, so all you're seeing the ones who succeeded. if 90 scammer fail and 10 find a loophole, then those 10 will proliferate until twitter fixes it again. It's sorta like a virus that acquires drug persistence.
Nope, you just don’t pass such a shitty law in the first place. You don’t legislate solutions, you legislate results.
ChromeOS is more secure and far less expensive than MacOS, although as long as you keep your parents off of Windows you won't have to worry about ransomware.
I work on an Android app aimed at the North American market.

Android O, P and Q are 88% of our Android devices. By far and large, fragmentation is something I _never_ have to think about.

Jetpack libraries are here to handle it for us, as an abstraction layer between the OS and third party apps.

I would have mentioned that e.g. camera apps are an exception : here hardware fragmentation can be a pain. I was half surprised to see that Google is also working on that one with the camera x library.

There have been cases where the fragmentation bites us; and there might be in the future (although in all fainess my iOS colleagues sometimes have to create specific fixes as well) but the last time I had to scratch my head because of a device specific bug was years ago.

And at the time, I was already finding these articles deeply ridiculous.
Anecdotally, I've noticed this here on the central coast of California. We don't use Instacart or Uber Eats a lot, but when we do, its usually delivered by women/moms in their 40s or 50s (as this article points out).

I will point out one thing I haven't seen mentioned yet: despite the gig economy's downsides, doing this is probably better than getting sucked into the pyramid schemes and MLMs which tend to prey on the same demographic.
I do think about the subsidies for corn in 10% ethanol gas, and choose to purchase the gasoline with no ethanol because I don’t agree with corn subsidies. More and more gas stations around me offer a choice.

That’s about the only choice I get to make, though, short of buying a Tesla.
This is caused by at least two things. First, as noted, crushing the little rich with high taxes. Second, the ultra rich just hide their money (funny how everyone memory-holed the Panama Papers) so it doesn't show up in the figures and count toward inequality. US mega-rich have less incentive to hide their money, in fact some US states are seen as tax havens, so the figures here are more honest.

Also, there are European countries like Germany with an income distribution pretty close to the US.
It's exactly whataboutism to say "What about U.S. incarceration?" when defending China. It's 100% analogous to what would come up in discussions of the USSR.

"The USSR is bad for its people."

"What about Jim Crow?"

It's also worth noting that there is a bipartisan criminal justice reform movement in the U.S. that is critical of the U.S. government at various levels, so, no, it's not apples to apples.

You don't fix this through income redistribution. You fix it by offering free/cheap education, healthcare, etc. this generally requires taxes and, yes, the wealthiest should bear the most.

But it's not about taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
It's about creating opportunities for the poor.
It's not Intel, it's the end of Moore's law. Intel's problem is that they are not well positioned to capitalize on the specialized processors that will be required to continue ekeing out advances for the next decade or two before we're entirely up a creek. :)
Every country has a rich upper class.
The world's always changing, they just have to adapt.
Well if 10 percent of the population contributed to 70 percent of the world's wealth then this is fair. Without the 10 percents leadership the world would not be what is is today.

Think about it, you're just an engineer. Anybody can build something trivial like a rocket ship, a super computer or a large hadron collider. However, not everyone has the leadership skills to actually inspire you build that rocket ship. That's why CEOs are so rare. If we weren't giving the majority of Americas wealth to these CEOs there wouldn't be any technology in the world today because nobody is around inspiring the engineers build this stuff. So this wealth inbalance makes perfect sense. The amount of skill involved with inspiring people vs building a light speed drive is incomparable, only the CEO can inspire engineers to build such a thing. If you hire 10 CEOs instead of 10 engineers and pay them 90 percent of Americas wealth you'd be accumulating so much leadership skills and potential into a single company that you won't even need the engineers anymore... The technology will just materialize from excess inspiration.
The point of using the average is to evaluate the hypothetical where all the wealth in the country were distributed evenly (and many of the people who claim to be victims of inequality would actually be worse off in a truly equal society).
As always, someone has failed to understand that averages are a poor statistical indicator of, well, anything.
People have access to smartphones because a smartphone is the ultimate loss leader.

Give someone a smartphone and Internet connectivity, and all of a sudden, they are a customer waiting to happen.

Point being, look at what is not ubiquitous. Housing, ability to get medical care, financial security enough to start a family...

Focusing on Net Access, and possession of the most powerful tool known to Marketing is an absurd metric from which to argue that systemic economic inequality isn't a problem.
Here is how a relation extraction system would represent these two concepts "live" (i.e. place of residence) and "visit" (a temporary location), as well as the temporality of the statements.

Yikes. I expected the average to be worse, but not by that much. No wonder FAANG is eating the world.

Generation Amnesia: why China’s youth don’t talk about Tiananmen
I think these “<whatever I don’t agree with> considered harmful” articles get a bit tideous after a while. For any of them you can just as easily write a counterpoint “<whatever you prefer instead> considered harmful” with just as much passion and merit. Mentally I tend to rewrite these as “<bob or jane> are mad at <goto, recursion, forth, puppies, kittens, etc>” and that is probably closer to the truth. They are opinion pieces that allow people to vent to a crowd.

If this comment had a title it could be “Considered Harmful articles considered harmful” or “Bob is mad at considered harmful articles”. Someone else could come along and write “Lack of considered harmful articles considered harmful” with equal merit I’m sure. ;)

I’ve made a point the last few years to put at least one goto in all my code just to mess with the junior devs, though in practice the junior devs aren’t familiar with the original material so its more the mid level devs that will explode into green flame or curl into a ball when they find my goto. Senior devs couldn’t care less if they find a goto.

I, for one, am glad this isn't the 50s anymore. I have a feeling I wouldn't very much enjoy working with "young white dudes" who have contempt for diversity in the workplace.
Well-written article.

But professionally, although most Real Time Clock module does generate interrupts, it's misleading to call this simple circuit a "Real Time Clock", there is no "Real Time". It's better to use the term "counter", or "timer".

PostgreSQL: Table Inheritance – What's It Good For?
You can install stock Win 10 on any machine you buy, or most Linux distros with the same boot image thanks to UEFI and the PC spec. Android ARMs are NOT an architecture. They're random pins soldered to random shit with little upstreamable in their hacked to hell kernels.

Oreo and the /vendor partition may help with this some. Still, it's a far cry from the Linux/PCs days of the 90s. I've written about this before:

Cigarette taxes work once they get high enough. See New Zealand and Australia, for the very very high price of cigarettes (currently $25-30 a pack). It is absolutely having a positive effect on the rate of smokers quitting (it probably helps that the resulting tax is substantially invested in the health sector for quitters to get support).

It's fuzzy, but you can take the probability density function (PDF) of a random variable with a pareto distribution. That sort of matches what you're asking for, with regard to taking a derivative to find the probability of the random variable falling into a range of probabilities over time.

I was talking about large, established suppliers dealing in large volume, not you, unless you have a special AR department with multiple employees. what these established suppliers love is sales, growth, and especially reorders. obviously they need to be paid but establishing repeat channels is the most important for them.

At the time, I had the perspective you just stated, and I thought large suppliers had the same perspective. they don't. (as the other reply to you stated.)

How do you take into account negative wealth? If 20% of americans have zero or negative wealth, and you need the positive wealth from the 20th-40th percentiles to make up for the negative, do you say the bottom 40% account for zero percent of U.S. wealth? Or do you just call negative wealth zero for these purposes? How's the calculation work?

I'm asking because I'm wondering whether it's "the rich are too rich" vs "debt is getting crazy" or somewhere in between.
