I assume you mean automating away any job that they can figure out how to automate?

Raising the minimum wage might accelerate that somewhat, but I don't think that is the main concern.

Let's consider only jobs that there will be no good way to automate for the foreseeable future.

The existing minimum wage already eliminates some jobs that cannot be automated but just are simply not worth $7 per hour to the would-be employer. Not many people would be interested in holding such jobs, but probably a few who kind of like that sort of work and only need a very small income. The number of such people could be expected to increase in the presence of a UBI scheme.

There may be a lot more jobs that currently pay $12 per hour, but that the employers will simply forgo rather than pay $15. (Imagine an old man who pays a worker $12 per hour to mow because it makes him happy to have a nice lawn, but whose budget has no room for a $3 raise. If the minimum wage rises to $15, he has to pay nobody, let his lawn go to hell, and live a slightly-less-satisfactory life. Meanwhile, the worker has to find a new gig, if he can.)
There is a connection it's just that the 'right-as-not-left' bit is the newer development.

We should implement a UBI - minimum wage is not an effective method for decreasing poverty long term. Raising the minimum wage decreases demand for labor. A high minimum wage is only currently useful because of the other failures in our social safety net.

Regarding "trickle-down economics", this isn't a real term anyone actually argues for. It's a sneer term created for the purpose of strawmanning libertarian economic positions to make them easy to attack. Not sure why this became such a meme, or how so many people seem to not realize that they're attacking an Emmanuel Goldstein. But it would be good if you stuck to criticizing positions that real people actually hold.

I don't think most people would choose not to own a car if there wasn't a concern of money involved. Car ownership can certainly be less economical than sticking to transit/biking in some areas, but I think most people in such situations would still hypothetically prefer having the option of driving available.
What everyone fails to realize is that every job has a maximum value associated with it, and therefore a maximum wage, assuming your employer isn’t in the business of losing money. When you raise the minimum wage to $X/hr, by necessity employers (again, in the interests of not losing money) will no longer be able to offer jobs that generate less than $X/hr in revenue. This becomes a problem for people who lack the skill to perform a job that generates at least $X/hr — they become unemployable, either through job elimination or automation.
It's more nuanced than this, in my view. It's not just "high minimum wage bad for teenagers!"

There are a lot of reasons for decreased teenage employment:

- Older employees who should be retired hanging on to jobs longer because they can't afford retirement

- Students finding part time work an inferior return on investment compared to college preparation and other resume-building activities like volunteer work

- College costing so much that high school summer jobs can't possibly pay for a significant fraction of it, essentially making it a less time efficient option than just using future wages to pay for it (loans)

- Lengthened academic years with shorter summers

https://www.apnews.com/66a5d6cade1743fb897aad56e300c99c

I do think that it might make sense to have a lower teenage minimum wage than the normal adult minimum wage. I personally don't assume that a low minimum wage is good for low-skill employees, that just doesn't add up to me.

The inability to pay a living wage equates to all of us not paying the real cost of a good or service.

Because they aren't perfectly good. Humans eliminate predators around the world because they threaten our livestock and public safety. If we actively wanted to cull deer populations with minimum effort it takes very little effort trap or poison them en masse versus trying to track them with rifles.

But some people find it to be a fun activity to kill wildlife and thus the whole culture of huntsman persists. People pay for the recreation of hunting. It actually makes some communities money - private citizens cull the deer while paying for the privilege.

This is so true, and I think partially what the article was referring as Customer Behavior Expectations. ie, "the SLA is 500ms _if you don't always request 18 months of data_" or whatever.

Another favorite of mine is when the SLIs are written in terms of average rate ignoring spikes. eg, "100ms latency at 100 requests/sec". So the customer slams you with 6000 requests as fast as possible, sleeps 60 seconds, and repeats. That averages out to 100 TPS, so how come you're not hitting your latency SLA?!

FDR proposed the minimum wage to guarantee anyone who works 40 hours a week a "living wage". It was signed into law in 1938. And, adjusted for inflation, the minimum wage has never been higher than it was in 1938. In other words, it's precisely the point of minimum wage, and it's increasingly failed to live up to its purpose ever since.

As an outsider (I'm Canadian), I find this debate to be interesting. From my perspective, the American project is one that emphasized individual liberty, with only a small set of powers granted to the federal government by the constitution. It was expected that helping others would happen via voluntary means (churches, charitable organizations, etc.) rather than compulsory ones.

In that context, you could look at the data on inequality and still make a principled argument as to why a federal minimum wage is undesirable.

Yes. Do you know what deploying in my local environment, for my own projects, is? It's "control-S". (Because a file watcher reloads the application.)

This is acutely top-of-mind for me because I used to run a devops consultancy and I currently head devops, including release management, for a startup built heavily on AWS Lambda. I am doing my level best to reduce the loop as much as I can for the dev team.

It's still way, way slower than control-S. And always will be.
A Lua REPL is hardly worse than a Lisp one.

I honestly don't know what that means. Turning text into code is compilation; there is no difference between the two in that regard, except perhaps that in the Lisp DSL case it's more manual.

UBI does not create any money and thus has zero long term impact on inflation.

Remember even 2.5% inflation still means money is worth 1/2 as much every 30 years. That can only happen if either the economy is smaller every 30 years or new money is created every 30 years.

interesting intro by Michael from Vsauce

I understand what one can do to create a leaky abstraction for local development. And it is leaky, and it can't be relied upon for correctness, and so while it makes "getting things done" possible, it makes getting things done correctly much more difficult than it needs to be.

And local development when you've opted to use systems like Cognito are well beyond its scope, unless someone has something very clever that I haven't seen.

From a lot of experience doing this on AWS and on other clouds, I have learned that it is better to use systems that you can operate, and then use hosted versions where applicable. RDS is great, but it's great mostly because you can run PostgreSQL locally and inspect its brain. DynamoDB, SQS, etc. tend to be untrustworthy and should be avoided unless you have a bulletproof story for local testing (and none of the fake implementations are bulletproof).
> Still more reliable and orders of magnitude more powerful than any free service.

I don't think so. AWS Lambda has a generous free tier and runs on infrastructure that has constant monitoring by professionals, spread across thousands of machines in multiple datacenters all over the world, with an SLA.

Your one (or two) servers that share a single consumer internet connection (with no SLA) will never be more reliable.

Yes, you can get more powerful, but again, that's a business decision you have to make. Do you want power or reliability? If uptime is important to your business, then running it at home off of consumer internet is not a good idea.
It requires using Facebook messenger, which is a non-starter for me.
I never said it was accessible. I said it was a text based site, which it is. I feel like you're misunderstanding on purpose just to argue.

I also never said that it was okay for them to do that. But it meets the minimum requirements of the law and is legally compliant (or so their lawyer says).

In fact, my point was that they should not do that. They did it to avoid getting sued. Now any functionality they could have offered, such as online crime reporting or crime stat lookups, are not even options.
Check out the program through University of London, Goldsmiths on Coursera. I'm currently halfway through the first term. It was a little buggy at first but it is getting better. The teaching style is pretty engaging. It is about 3k USD per term and there are 2 terms per year and the program is 3 years total.

UK CS programs are a little bit lighter on math than US programs but they still try to cover quite a bit. The first term courses are:

- an introductory programming course taught using P5.js. I was initially skeptical of that approach but it turned out being a lot of fun.

- a numerical mathematics that attempts to cover pretty much everything

- web development course

- how computers work course (similar to a computer architecture course)
> Given how often you probably use your phone, and how painful it is to type passwords on a phone, you’ll probably want to sync your passwords to your phone. If you do, all your passwords will now be stored on your phone. You may want to review how quickly your phone will lock after you stop using it, and what mechanisms you will allow to unlock it...

> Do you install your password manager on a work laptop that everyone in IT has access to? If you spend most of your time at the office, you probably end up doing a lot of personal computing on your work devices even if you’d rather be doing them somewhere else.

> Do you install your password manager on devices you only use every once in a while, and thus may not be getting security updates as often as you’d like? What about laptops you install lots of random software on? What about a laptop that your family members can also install software on? Are you willing to hand copy the valueless passwords you need to use on these devices over from a device you trust with all your passwords?

I use and rely on a password manager myself, and frequently recommend them to people. And yet, the above captures a very real problem with password managers, namely that they are an incomplete solution to the problem.

As the above quotes illustrate, just choosing and using a password manager is not enough. You also have to essentially define an entire OPSEC regime for how you will use the password manager. You have to make a lot of complicated decisions about important tradeoffs, because without them the protection offered by the password manager is minimal.

And the thing is, we know most normal people won't do this. It's too complicated and too technical. People don't want to spend their limited time on Earth weighing the pros and cons of storing their passwords online vs. offline, or storing their passwords on their laptop but not their phone, or storing some passwords in the password manager but not others.

A password manager doesn't work if you think of it as a product; it only works if you approach it as part of a lifestyle, as one component of a holistic strategy that's calibrated to defeat the specific threats you expect to face. Most people are never, ever going to do that, and even if they wanted to, they don't have the level of expertise required to make those decisions, any more than I have the expertise to walk into a nuclear power plant and start giving orders just because I saw "Chernobyl" on HBO.

So in a way, the more we evangelize password managers as a silver bullet, the more people I worry we are setting up for failure. I still recommend them, of course, because the alternatives are all worse. But we have to find some way to design secure systems that mesh with the way people actually use systems, or security will always be a privilege of the elite.

Grain yields have increased thanks for pesticides, herbicides, selective breeding and mass agriculture improvements. And the misuse of said herbicides as dessicants (eg. Roundup).

That would be fine, as it would mean that we as a society explicitly agree what minimum wage should be about. And we would probably have massive campaigns to get adults with families off the minimum wage, as well as ensure that adults never have to take a minimum wage job in the future.

We could leave minimum wage to children, and charity workers.

As it stands, it used to pay better but has slowly slid to being subsistence living.
If that is true, which, as an american, i don't really care if that was the goal of the american project, it has demonstrably failed and we should act in the interest of human rights.
