The technical challenges and competition will change everything. Maybe some scientific platforms could hitch a ride at a heavily discounted price, for example?
I've used Bvckup 2 for years and found it the most reliable solution for PC-driven backup and replication jobs on Windows. It has a few high-level feature limitations that have bugged me (splitting a large folder backup across multiple smaller drives, for example), but it nails the core competencies better than anything else I've used.
Hmm, what is an element it found in vast quantities in accessible asteroids would spawn a fundamental transformation? Platinum group metals? Uranium? Phorphorus? Rare earths?

These ideological decisions don't sound very pragmatic. There's a lot of open-source prior art in this space (OpenGrok, Kythe, SourceGraph) which provide support for most large languages and have annotation output formats that are broadly similar to this JSON file, and you could still support users having indexers for small languages running as part of CI.

> There does not exist any widely available standalone C parsing library to provide C programs with access to an AST. There’s LLVM, but I have a deeply held belief that programming language compiler and introspection tooling should be implemented in the language itself. So, I set about to write a C parser from scratch.

Even if you prefer to write your C indexer in C, you could use LLVM's C [1] or Python [2] APIs. Plus, you can handle C++ without having to implement your own C++ parser from scratch, which is a much larger undertaking than C99 plus a few GNU extensions.

Is it viable to do Uber flexibly in the US?

In the UK it's not. I looked into it as I'd enjoy driving people about on weekends, and I rarely drink so I could do nights out etc. Assuming you have a car that's suitable, you still need a private hire licence and taxi insurance that make it uneconomical unless you do fairly long hours.
Doesn't strike me as particularly balanced (from the economic not political angle), it takes a strictly negative view of the effect of minimum wage on employment. This is the view the theory would support but is actually in empirical dispute as dueling studies continue to come out. They don't account for a single positive effect on employment from raising the minimum wage, even in just the estimated ranges of the effect, yet just two years ago we had 600 economists sign a letter in support of a $10 min wage which included this statement:

"Research suggests that a minimum-wage increase could have a small stimulative effect on the economy as low-wage workers spend their additional earnings, raising demand and job growth, and providing some help on the jobs front."

https://www.epi.org/minimum-wage-statement/

Even within the document when they talk about the uncertainty of effect the minimum wage has on employment they're talking about uncertainty of magnitude (negative) and not uncertainty around the direction of that change.

Take a look at:

"By boosting the income of low-wage workers who keep
their jobs, a higher minimum wage raises their families’
real income, lifting some of those families out of
poverty. However, real income falls for some families
because other workers lose their jobs, business owners
lose income, and prices increase for consumers. For those
reasons, the net effect of a minimum-wage increase is to
reduce average real family income."

I think if you read that quote to different economists who study the minimum wage you would find very, very different opinions on how true it is.
The US is too big to make crossing it by train (even high speed) plausible when airplanes are a thing. High speed trains proved successful in medium distances. It sounds reasonable for California (LA-SF) and for east coast cities (New York-Washington), but covering the entire US is really not very useful.

However, I'm pretty sure that a large part of the costs of the California rail are related to private land, which probably isn't an issue through the majority of the route.
Interestingly in the last thread someone was claiming AMD won't be able to compete in Laptop due to cost issues, and I thought Ryzen 3000 ( Zen + Core ) were not going to do well, I was wrong.

There will be lots of Ryzen Laptop coming, for reason that has little to do with Ryzen 3000 in itself, ( The Zen 2 APU will be coming next year ). It is Intel prioritising 14nm capacity for the high margin Sever shipment. Giving AMD a chance in this segment .

The timing of these events are.... ( I can't find a word to describe it.)
> The central figures directing Perl were always driven in the direction of eclecticism

I don't agree. Larry Wall always had an eclectic streak, but he was also a very practical guy, trying to scratch system administrators' itches with Perl. A lot of Perl 5's eclecticism stems from its predecessors: sed, awk, sh

The other key contributors in Perl 5 in the 90s (The various Perl 5.x pumpkings, Tom Christiansen, Randal Schwarz, etc) were also very practically inclined.

But as far as I recall, apart from Larry, most key contributors to Perl 6 did NOT work on the Perl 5 core prior to 2000 (I'm sure somebody could pull up actual names and statistics to confirm or correct this), though they were certainly active in the community.
Agreed. I could imagine Darpa funding projects around this for defense and scientific goals.

For example: claiming gay people are pedophiles, or that trans women are men in dresses trying to sneak into bathrooms to assault people.

Claims like this--and these are the tip of the iceberg--target groups of people and affect every individual within. It's like passive libel/slander that every member of the group has to contend with.

It can even affect people outside the group. I don't think I know of a straight man under 30 who isn't afraid someone will think they're gay if they do the wrong thing. And more than a few cisgender women get run out of bathrooms because they present in a more masculine way.

> Rejoice, people of Earth! News outlets are reporting that NASA is planning to visit an asteroid made of gold and other precious metals! At current prices, the minerals contained in asteroid 16 Psyche are said to be worth $700 quintillion -- enough to give everyone on the planet $93 billion. We’re all going to be richer than Jeff Bezos!

No one ever thought it was going to work this way.
There's no "high income cap" on NICs. There's a lower rate for employees above a certain level but this is offset by a higher income tax rate which occurs at the same pay level so that the combined rate of tax and NICs goes 0%-12%-32%-42% for people who are paid evenly throughout the year (it then gets a bit weird above £100k because the marginal rates become 62% then back to 42% then 47% above £150k/year).

Employers pay 13.8% of all earnings above the "secondary threshold" with no reduction.

(There's a good case for effectively removing that 12% bit by moving up the point where you start to pay NICs to align with the personal allowance and for assessing NICs annually instead of weekly/monthly. There are also complicating factors like under 21s partly and over state pension age fully not paying NICs too).

I've also never heard a politician say that "mass immigration" is needed because of nurses, and indeed it would be not be most people's idea of "mass immigration" even if every single nurse working in the NHS were an immigrant - there are around 300,000 nurses working in the NHS.
Perhaps.

We saw in 9/11, though, that raw death toll really isn't the thing that matters. Having to evacuate hundreds of millions of people from the entire Mediterranean would cost trillions; even a couple million Syrians relocating has caused political upheaval.
This has some good explanations of basic economics.

However, the real importance of mining asteroids is that it would make it possible to build colonies in space that could potentially hold far more than the present population of Earth.
I think most people would recommend symmetric encryption unless it now possible. With asymmetric keys each person still needs to protect their private keys.

For software you should make something - any part - work and release it. Then do regular feature releases after that.

If you are not working alone you can ask your marketing people for help, sometimes it is worth waiting for a big bang release, sometimes not (For some things if you miss Christmas you should delay until next Christmas). I recommend you err on the side of release too soon - customers are the ultimate answer, if their feedback on what is important is useful to have (but their feedback is not always correct!)
Not to be harsh, but, like, that is your problem. I, for example, used to be addicted to heroin. If opiates had never been discovered, I guess I probably would have never had a problem with it. But that's a weak excuse. I'm glad I was shown my weakness, because now I am stronger for it. Change and distraction and temptation is an opportunity to truly understand our self. And with understanding comes power.
Raising the minimum wage is only a band-aid. Within a few short years, inflation picks up and your $15/hour won't really go as far anymore.

Australia and Scandinavian countries are good examples of this in action: high minimum age, but everything is ridiculously expensive.

It's much better if we provide education, so people better themselves and increase their value in the workplace.

I feel like this is only used by the politicians, who don't really care about people getting out of poverty, and want people to not only vote for them (for getting a government-enforced raise), but be dependent on them for life.
The patent is expired on the “new version,” Humalog. It expired sometime in the early 2010s. However, because it is produced biologically (altering RNA in bacteria) instead of chemically, additional regulations prevent a genetics from entering the market.

It is this additional regulation that should be subject to scrutiny, since the price of humalog has continued to rise, even after its patent expired. A vial of humalog costs~$5-10 to manufacture, while its list price is nearly $300 and rising quickly. I’m guessing because pharmas want to milk their golden cow while these regulations are still in place. We could drop the price of Humalog 90% within a matter of days by simply cutting regulation against import, as it is already being manufactured safely abroad.

By the way, when Humalog was under patent, on day one, the list price was something like $30 per vial.

Using cheaper alternatives is also strongly correlated with worse outcomes, including amputations and death.

In a word, yes, it literally is exactly as unconscionable and greedy as it looks on the tin.
> CNNs have trouble distinguishing things like a spiral from a set of concentric circles because locally they look the same.

Bringing down precious metals to Earth isn't the main point of developing space mining tech, e.g. mining a golden asteroid. The mined materials would be useful for bootstrapping other space based projects. With the right mining tech in place, it would be better to build anything that's going to be strictly used in space, well, in space. Earth's gravity well is much less of a cost factor if you don't have to send up manufactured items.
Not knowing the underlying architecture, but would it be hard to give each app its own virtual clipboard that only the UI has access to (paste)? And does IOS already account for this? Daily it seems as though I'm reconsidering Lineage. While I like the flexibility of Android I feel as though there are still too many obtuse protections missing.
Sure, but just because you can coerce an algorithm into doing something different does not mean the algorithm itself does not have fundamental tendencies.
Is there a link to the paper? As far as I'm aware, there is no practical FHE scheme in existence.
Github also recently open-sourced their Haskell-based Semantic, which annotates and cross-references a whole bunch of languages (all the languages any of our clients use), and is built on tree-sitter, so there's, like, several levels of prior art available here.
And others have suggested different lines or suggested that certain ideas fundamentally attack individuals by their very nature.

I've never met an actual free speech absolutist. I've just met people who tolerate certain forms of hate speech.
Ah, yes. Any excuse to do some data vis is worth pursuing. It needs quite a bit of cleanup to be worthy of a separate site though. The UI still needs a magnifying glass on high-DPI monitors and apparently not everyone is OK with that.
I'm not sure I believe that. All evidence points to businesses and people becoming very effective at cost-cutting following a drop in income.
My hypothesis is that this is a function of white collar office work, where one often works closely with management/leadership/mentors, and can build relationships, knowledge and skills that increase one's opportunities the further one progresses in their career, not only in terms of entering management, but also starting a small business or startup.

Unions historically stem from segregation between labor and bosses along multiple dimensions such as skills, day-to-day experience and class.

Your mental model is correct, but there's a matter of orders of magnitude, as I explained above. A standard incandescent lightbulb isn't going to light up until you have tens or hundreds of milliamps going through it, so it's possible it could still be dark at a current where you would be dead. At the microamp levels you'll actually see in this situation, you might be able to get an NE-2 neon bulb to light up. (Don't forget the ballast resistor.)
If your threat model includes the possibility of yourself being simulated, I don’t envy you

As someone who works in data warehousing and business intelligence I always feel the pain of developers thinking of data as an afterthought. Biggest issues are always not all data is persisted and not all changes are tracked in the database. The means you can never do all the reports the business want and it is always a mission to explain to business that you cannot report off data that doesn't exist or not properly stored (referential integrity). My dream has always been one day developers will think of the data first :-).
There's an element of control that other posters are getting at here. One of the fundamental tenets of a market economy is that consumers get to make decisions on their own behalf when it comes to how they spend their money. If they're not making the decisions, is it actually theirs? There's a pretty big principal-agent problem as soon as you start saying "Well, that money is being spent on your behalf, therefore it's yours." (Ironically, the same problem occurs on the other side of the political aisle with single-payer, government funded health care.)

This is also related to the point you made about possible structural problems with the health care and education industries. Maybe if the consumer could actually choose their health insurer and provider, and there were no exclusive contracts between those two sides of the market, and no barriers to entry for starting a new insurer (and none other than necessary medical licensing of employees for starting a new provider), and providers were required to provide transparent information about pricing and outcomes, healthcare wouldn't be such a clusterfuck of an industry. These are all basic prerequisites for a functioning market, but none of them are present in health care.
Hilarious (and a bit scary) to think that in the near future a random company could haul a massive gold asteroid to Earth and completely destroy the global economy.
That anecdote seems to be a story that was just made up. It is believable if the students have never done ceramics before, however if the students have done a lot before I would expect thinking about what to make would become more useful than doing something again for the millionth time.

It really should be, and policies like this make progressives come across as coastal elites to people making $20 per hour in small towns.
One problem with OpenGrok et al is scale. I already have a service which is designed to run arbitrary user tasks in an environment configured for their project's needs, so I wanted something that could take advantage of that.

As for parsing C++, since LLVM is written in C++ using it to write a C++ annotator would be a natural fit :) But C and C++ are different langauges and I don't wish to require LLVM to deal with it. LLVM is one of the largest open source projects on the net, and it requires a lot more complexity and compile time to utilize under these circumstances. On the other hand, I came up with a solution which is <1,300 lines of code and won't grow much more as it expands to support a broader set of C extensions.

There does exist prior art, but I deliberately chose to go with the lowest common denomoniator to provide support for a lot of use-cases we can't predict in an environment which gives users more control over its behavior. I think over time it will be pretty easy to plug the prior art into this system, but harder to plug their systems into novel use-cases. The existing solutions are not always the best, but I did put in a lot of research time to validate that assumption.
Why in the world did you go through all that time and effort just to complain about there being people who like things that you don’t like?

Well, We see the tolerant left strikes again. Thanks for proving my point.
That's the question Oregon asked. What they ended up doing was a tiered minimum, based on regions and economic studies.

In the Portland area, $15 is barely enough. Reasonable minimum target. This is true for various places along the I-5 corridor. Maybe Bend too.

In other regions, it may be $12, or even $11, depending.

Overall, it's reasonable and the expectation is increased demand will not impact the number of people having jobs much at all.

I agree with you. What should be done is a baseline study every few years. Take some basic metrics:

Housing

Food

Transportation

Health Care (overlooked now, but should not be, or we do universal care to keep it factored out)

Utilities, water, power, etc.

Roll all that up into a "just making it" index of some sorts and work from there.

My thoughts on this have arrived at a place where I do not see it being productive for labor to yield an income less than it actually does cost to exist and show up for work. When we do that, it's a subsidy, and we are all paying indirectly, and for some, very directly as those costs do accrue no matter what, and they get paid by someone no matter what, or people simply do not exist and or show up for work.

Often, the more direct payments fall on family and others close to the person unable to labor and meet basic needs. This gets expensive. Retirement, and other bigger picture things are impacted, and because we do not see those outcomes present right away, they too get ignored.

For all of us, taxes and such needed to fund services are indirect payments --subsidies essentially.

In some cases, a subsidy makes sense. Happy to do my part. However, in a general sense, I really do not want to be subsidizing businesses that could operate just fine and pay labor what it costs to exist and show up for work.

Don't forget experimental licenses. You can literally do anything you can talk the FCC into permitting, and they're generally nice people if you apply in good faith (like, apply for a supposed R+D license to transmit wideband voice FM on 101.1 MHz 24 hrs a day and they'll laugh and tell you to go away, but for genuine serious R+D requests they'll bend over backward to help)

I was not directly involved in legal paperwork stuff but my understanding is a short term STA costs a varying amount depending on service code and all long term form 442 cost sixty bucks. I also recall the 442 is about a tenth the paperwork required, so I don't really see a point in requesting a STA for truly experimental work. Of course you can get a STA for literally any service the FCC regulates, whereas form 442 are only for legitimate blue sky experimental research.
