You might wish to re-read what I said. I'm NOT willing for global society to incur major health risks for the sake of placating anti-vaxxers' irrationality, even if that means forcibly imposing consensus solutions on them (e.g, by quarantine). But it's not black-and-white: Any such involuntary measures must be done in accordance with our established processes. Otherwise, we risk anarchy.
Why do young kids get a babysitter job below minimum wage when their living expenses are already paid? They still want pocket change and it’s the best available job they can get.
While in my opinion the minimum raise should be raised quite a lot, there are a lot of labor reforms needed. In particular for work that falls outside of the salaried work. Waged, contracted, seasonal, and temp workers do not have a lot of power in the labor market. It's actually a pretty hostile environment for individuals who don't want to collect a salary and sit at a desk.

I view the problem through this lens. That essentially we have a labor surplus because the current regulatory environment is designed around salaried office workers - barring a few holdovers in the form of labor unions. The total size of the labor market is larger than the carrying capacity of office jobs. As the environment has aged firms learned how to play the game and have pushed a lot of small competition out. Meanwhile laborers compete for a smaller pool of office jobs or hope they land on their feet.

This is really the nature of regulation though, it can rarely be meant to last forever and should receive continuous development and audits.
This isn't something that is common in all areas if you are over a certain age - namely, when other folks start having children or living with romantic interests. Seriously. Especially in a small town. And it doesn't work if you don't have friends that are in a similar situation.

The more prudent thing is to make sure that the single person can afford a one-bedroom apartment. Unfortunately, these are often not much cheaper than a two bedroom. Where I lived in the states, a studio wasn't much cheaper either, mostly because they were all in apartment complexes instead of divided up houses.
My question is: If you talked to a customer and they said "we have around 200 hosts not controlled by us running code and reading data from our systems, is that a problem?" would you say "no, that is totally fine"?

It doesn't need to be perfect, but I think that for a security firm we should be able to do better.
Decrease that $100/hr to $10/hr and increase the 100 people making $2/hr to 1 million people making $2 an hour, that way you go from $10/hr in earning potential to $2million/hr. Just by getting rid of the minimum wage!

I can see why the minimum wage is such a bad idea, you are totally correct.
The infrared camera is not something exotic. Anyone who is interested in discovering passwords will have one. Most people do not care - if I would post my bank account password here most people wouldn't attempt to login to see if it was real, and of those that do most wouldn't do anything bad. I still don't post my bank info because of the tiny number of people who would abuse it: they are mostly the same people as who would buy the infrared camera.
The article in question is about zoning laws.

The article also clearly states that most all parks are zoned as single-family residential.

I'm lost as to what connection to the article is being made here?
The kind of experts gojomo is thinking of are still resolutely convinced that they're correct, and no facts will change their mind about that. Like the people the tobacco lobby used to wheel out to tell you that they were confident smoking was actually not dangerous, or the same handful presented as offering an "alternative" explanation for global climate change, they are fiercely resistant to the obvious conclusion from the available facts, and I don't really need to care whether that's because they're they're actually paid not to look at the obvious or they're not smart enough to see it.

Not trickle down, but Laffer (the guy the Laffer curve is named after) worked for Donald Trump in his 2016 campaign, and currently blames Barack Obama for the Great Recession.

Laffer's curve is 100% real, it's also 100% irrelevant to real world economics. It's as though after explaining about relativity and why it's impossible to accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light, a physicist turned around and told you that therefore they are confident that it's impossible to move at more than a walking pace and so Olympic sprinters don't exist. And then an entire political party pretended to believe them because it would make very wealthy people even richer. The analogy breaks down there actually I guess. Also the part where loads of people die in miserable poverty, that's not really in the physicist analogy either.

This is my solution too. I rarely use "public" wifi, but if I do, I ALWAYS turn "auto-join" off.

Also, from time to time, I go in and reset my network settings, which erases any networks I've forgotten to forget.
Tons of hardening work to plug an endless sieve.

If browsers had remained sane, allowing one to download HTML, CSS and pictures instead of running so-called applications, they would have been secured a long time ago and we would have had a decent internet instead of this spyware and ads infested mess.

With the rate of change that they're subjected to, they will never be secure. In 10 years Firefox will perhaps be 50% Rust and still full of vulnerabilities.
The point is more than density is an optimization of the marginal cost of maintaining a person. Manufacturing all the autos, maintaining all the roads for them to travel on, and providing supply lines across vast areas of low density are immense ongoing expenses that are hugely reduced when people are centralized in urban areas. As we move towards remote work it should lead to density increases, not the other way around - living denser means more access to more recreation and services, should mean cheaper goods and infrastructure, and can stymie the isolation problem brewing with remote workers across the industrialized world.
Why? Cloud formation is awesome.
A mistake easily corrected. They do convey the exact meaning well. It's the analogy that appeals to your intuition which is wrong.

Either a b === a || b

Where `===` means equivalent to. This means that a value of the type can hold either the `a` or the `b`. In order to construct a value of this type you used the `Left` function to construct a value contain the value on the left side of the operator and Right for the other side.

They have no "semantics" otherwise. You could call them "Jib" and "Jab," and it'd amount to the same thing. Simply because you ascribe a particular meaning doesn't change their nature. Hence why Left and Right.

Now I do recommend, for readability's sake, ascribing an alias to this type if it aids your understanding of the code when you use it in a particular way that gives your code a certain meaning!
The minimum wage is “the least you can pay anyone for any reason.” If you set it too high, then first time workers who still live with their parents won’t be able to get jobs. At all.

I need to dig up my original source, but my understanding from when this news first broke has been that the implementation was somewhat less innocent than a simple keyword ban and involved some kind of suggestions or workarounds for banned keywords. I’ll try to find something concrete to back this up.

The problem is that instituting UBI will require a political fight that will make the fight over Obamacare look positively cordial, and there's no way that fight can even begin until 2020 at the earliest anyway because of who currently holds the White House and Senate. Whereas bumping up the minimum wage is a much smaller lift, since it's just an incremental adjustment to a program that already exists.

If I were working for minimum wage, and I was offered a choice between a small wage increase right now and a possible shot at a completely new compensation regime whose details have only begun to be worked out, I know which one I would take.
So.... about slavery? This is just a bad argument that dismisses the historical context and structure of the US labor market and continues to ignore the on going inequality of labor.
Yeah, I've heard the mnemonic "an Either contains either the Right answer or else whatever's Left", which is simple/punny enough to be memorable.

Study: LA Is Leaking Talent Faster Than Every Other Top Tech Hub
This is not necessarily true. Oregon State's CS postbac only requires in-major classes. I did mine in three years, mostly part-time, including eleven months off for internships (so more like two). My first bachelor's was completely unrelated to tech.
CIT == Cornell Information Technology, the central IT organization.

The Peoplesoft/Duffield Hall disaster was two connected scandals.

David Duffield (the Peoplesoft founder) donated money to build Duffield hall, which houses a national nanotechnology center. That nanotechnology also received startup funds from the NSF, which required that Cornell raise matching funds from some source that wasn't the NSF. When they demanded documentation, Cornell said that was impossible (paperwork is SNAFU), the NSF said "This is an eligibility requirement, not a reporting requirement". Cornell was informed it wouldn't be getting any more funding from the NSF if it didn't correct the situation.

Around the same time Cornell attempted a Peoplesoft implementation that went at least $50 million over budget while implementing only 20% of the original scope.

The first project manager they hired said there was no way they could do the project with the budget they wanted, they fired him and hired a Yes Man. The rest is history.

Jeff Lehman was president of Cornell for about a year. He announced his resignation at Alumni week, shocking people. The cause of his resignation was kept secret, but I can't help but believe that he took office when the above mentioned scandals hit. (These certainly were not his fault because the situations started before his watch)

What I do know is that there was a severe money pinch, which caused a series of cascading failures, and also that everything at Cornell that was unique and special had to fight for it's right to exist, while they kept chasing the same fads as all the other Ivys.

Was this why Lehman quit? I don't know. But I do know if he stayed he would have been cleaning up an awful mess instead of leading new initiatives.
The Rust compiler can eliminate bounds checking anywhere it can prove that it doesn't need it. And beyond that, you always have the option of writing an unsafe block, and people sometimes do in carefully selected cases driven by profiling. (That also encourages keeping such code carefully contained and well-scrutinized.)

I'm not arguing that bounds-checking should be mandatory. I'm arguing that bounds-checking should be the default, and you should have to knowingly bypass it, rather than the other way around.
The American Constitution was created to expand the powers of the federal governmet (replacing the prior Articles of Confederation that existed prior). Since the creation of the constitution, the federal government has seen an increase in scope; driven in large part by new deal policies and an (absurdly) broad definition of "interstate commerce".

Under both the articles of confederation and the current constitution (with and without amendments), the idea of limited federal government was not personal freedom, but state's freedom (eg. powers not given to the federal government are given to the states).

Arguably, the strenthening of the federal government led to more constitutionally protected individual rights, as it led to the bill of rights being interpreted as restricting states as well.
Interesting. As far as human molecular-level evidence goes, we know that there are significant traces of Middle-Eastern farmers in North Africa (including Egypt and the north-east), but we can also tell that Nilotic herders expanded out of Sudan, well into East Africa. West Africa is a bit complicated, although the fact that we do find a large unified language family there (the Niger-Congo-Kordofanian languages), even pre-Bantu expansion, must count for something. These accounts should be taken with a grain of salt, since the overall amount of genetic variation we find in the African continent already implies that gene flow or replacement of any sort must have been quite rare indeed - the picture we have for Africa is not nearly as sharp as the one that emerges wrt. Eurasia as a result of the dramatic expansion of Yamnaya/PIE horse herders in close-to-historical times.
Either and try-catch are basically the same thing, except try-catch is, as you say, baked into the language, while Either is just data, a value you can manipulate however you want. Usually they will have the same functionality, but in some cases Either gives a few distinct advantages (off the top of my head):

- You can work a list of Either values (Lefts and Rights). For example applying a readFile operation on a list of file paths can give you a list of Lefts (errors) or Rights, which you can handle later. I can't imagine doing that cleanly with try-catch (i.e. without building up some intermediate list).

- Can return whatever data you want in the error, rather than just a String message (or, I guess you can if you write some custom CheckedException, but Either saves you from having to do that every time)
Guess it won't help you much, but in case others might be interested I've had nothing but smooth sailing with two different LSI SAS boards with FreeNAS.

From the little I've researched into it, it seems like there is more teen prostitution that is due to coercion from circumstance as opposed to force. Basically kids who ran away from or don't have a home and are trying to survive as opposed to trafficking at gun point.(which has been incredibly hard to find numbers for). And it seems like backpage made it safer for the former and but increased the risk of the latter.

Here's the wikipedia page that goes into some details.

> The fraction of runtime involving allocation and deallocation, at the level where they happen, is typically negligible. In servers, after program startup, it is often (and deliberately) exactly zero.

In that case you don't use std::string, std::vector... or any containers at all? Or anything else that allocates, directly or indirectly.
A good example of this is automatic currying. In a statically typed language if you pass too few arguments to a function then you get an error message pointing right at the spot of the bug, assuming you have enough type annotations to guide the type inference (which you should).

On the other hand, in a dynamic language if you pass the wrong number of arguments to a curried function the error will only show up when the result of that is called, at which point the stack trace is useless.

Improving the error messages for things like this in the presence of dynamic typing is only possible with lots of help from the language runtime and doing it without ruining performance is still an open research question.

Yup. Unless you have a license from Universal, you won't be able to host/download/reproduce/show the original version for another 68 years. You won't be able to do the same with the remastered version for possibly much longer time.

Welcome to "most important works in history carefully protected by corporate shills"
I have no idea what you are even arguing anymore. I made the "bit flip" comment specifically to show that even with the most credible proof, there are still always at least some little (and possibly completely trivial) implicit assumptions made about the actual correctness of the proof. One of those trivial assumptions is that the authors ran their code enough (most likely just as part of just writing it and getting it ready for publishing) more than once. Or that anyone else did, as you say.

And so I simply don't get why you're so hung up on Erdős's assumption of credible mathematicians making a credible proof. Are you seriously insinuating that Paul Erdős, of all people, was not aware of everything you're saying here?

Shouldn't they be charged for risking the lives of all, when we already know how many people perish in their hands?
> Minimum Wage Still Can’t Pay For A Two-Bedroom Apartment Anywhere

Was it supposed to?
I'd be interested in an answer to this too. We've seen a similar phenomenon in college costs - more government loan money available, higher tuition, repeat. Why would UBI not result in a general uptick in costs that would mean the "purchasing power" of the consumer is the same? I think providing the basic services themselves would be more effective and efficient, even with the bureaucratic overhead.
I don't see why such a minor thing is considered an important safety improvement.

Using optionals, result types and match would give me a nice feeling too, but I won't claim that my code's safer because of that. Those are super low-level tools.
The more tech advances, the harder it is to make things talk to each other?

This has no bearing on the issue. Yes, browsers are fast moving codebases. No one is arguing otherwise.

Someone has already cited a case study from Mozilla showing a significant improvement in memory safety for components moved over to Rust, so all evidence at this point is to the contrary.

> We've arrived at a point and time where the productivity of every able bodied person is not needed to sustain us

One of the lowest unemployment rates in history and not enough people picking crops seems to disagree with your premise.
Is there anything wrong with this? If a job can't provide for a person at some (philosophically debatable) level, it's not a job worth doing, free market be damned. We could take this to a logical extreme and think of all the jobs that could exist in the absence of a minimum wage and basic human necessity, but the reality is both of these exist. Either it's "worth" more for an employer to pay them more, or automating it becomes more competitive. Both of these drive innovation and advance society. This is why I've supported a higher minimum wage.

Youtube is littered with videos showing the attack reflex predators display, when another beeing shows vital problems (age) or insecure movement (again age). These creatures are not stupid, they will of course not attack, when there is plenty of easy food (deer overpopulation).

Nature protectors will promise this not to happen, and then lie. They promised that there would be compensation, if the reintroduced beaver would create damages to farmers or citizens. The beaver would then arrive, build damns, basically do his part of terraforming, to create his ideal habbitat. I dont blame the creature, its doing what it always did.

There was compensation- alright, 100 € for a broken axle on a tractor, sunk into a beaver lodge, dug into a field. Seriously, there are parts of the country, where this delusional maniacs dont dare to visit any more, better to stay in the city and make laws there how to govern there make believe world.
> Sorry you don't trust government; citizens are who decide how government runs.

Yeah... That's really not how it works here in the US, especially when it comes to healthcare. Corporate interests decide how the government runs healthcare.
But there will be fewer people taking such jobs if everyone taking them wants them rather than needing them. That pressure would in turn push salaries up and encourage automation.
So, out of the 350 million people in this country, we should set national economic policy based on 1 of them (you as a teenager)
People making the minimum wage can hardly get by anywhere in the US and have almost no social mobility because they can't buy homes and rent leaves little or no room for savings, particularly if they have families. Moreover the disparity between top and lowest quartiles is growing. Whatever the flaws of the article, it's a problem. It's a shame the article has those flaws (https://reports.nlihc.org/sites/default/files/oor/OOR_2019.p... is the original source for a lot of the article's and is worth reading instead) and everyone is focused on bikeshedding the analysis instead of getting the greater point.
You asked “what makes you think this is the typical minimum wage earner?” I answered “if you don’t take that case into account when setting minimum wage, then that worker won’t be able to get a job.”

Minimum wage is the least you can pay anyone for any reason. It is, by definition, an edge case.
