One difference is the old inequality meant the poor people lived short miserable lives, starving to death or dying from disease.

Today's inequality means poor people have a climate controlled place to live, regular food, decent healthcare, the ability to travel across the nation if not the world, see and communicate around the world in a moments notice, easy access to knowledge at their fingertips that spans all human civilization, endless amounts of entertainment, and freedom to live as they please.

It's unclear to me why this kind of inequality is a bad thing, or how it is comparable to inequality in the past.
Maybe?

But the pizza delivery industry as a whole was operating at the same unimaginable scale. And still does today.
That's a way of saying journalists can't report on anyone. After all, it's easy to offend someone, somewhere. And they might harass as a result!

Rent-seeking Capital is building the Vast Digital Underclass not "The Tech Industry".

What new tech did Uber/Uber-Eats, Doordash, Task-Rabbit create? They used Venture Capital to centralize industries which previously had distributed ownership/profits amongst small businesses, leveraging cheap capital to undercut their competition.

Then when you consider Walmart replacing small shops, or McDonalds replacing burger joints, you realize the problem is unregulated Capitalism, not "The Tech Industry".
What's a fair salary?

Pretty much all answers I've heard to this question will have to define the salary in relation to myriad cost inputs (housing, healthcare, transportation, food).

The fact that the answer to this question is almost universally defined in terms of cost of life necessities means that the current salary could be fair if the cost inputs were cheaper. It also means that any salary that would be fair given current costs would suddenly become unfair again if the cost of those inputs grew proportionately (inflation).

This suggests to me that we're better off focusing not on policies that raise salary but instead putting our efforts towards lowering the costs of only those cost inputs we deem as necessary inputs for living circumstances that are considered fair.

Solving the cost of only basic necessities once permanently solves the fairness problem. Trying to solve the fairness problem by raising wages with no policies to protect against inflation of basic necessities means that you will only ever solve the fairness problem temporarily.
> The US has a developing extremist problem, period. Having two sides with radicals willing to continuously ramp up the levels of violence,

We don't; domestic extremist violence for many years in the US has consistently been very one-sided, with the Right being the absolutely dominant source, especially for deadly violence against persons.
Maybe, but surely by now you can see that sustainability is a factor here. Produce how much, for how long? Is simply enabling unending consumerism until we run out of resources to be the highest calling of our species?

Seems almost more depressing than the current dystopia to believe that we should keep it going for even longer just to ensure everyone gets an equal chance to consume their pile of fried meat.

I may get pooh poohed here, but to me, this discussion is one of a spiritual nature. My belief is that God created all things spiritually first, before he created them physically. And, God is what gives all life it's sentience. Understanding the brain is only part f the equation. The soul of man (and woman) is both the physical body (including the brain) and the spirit. Until we can fully grasp the spiritual, we will never be able to make the "leap" between paper and conscience. Anyone else feel this way?

> I know at least one person that's decided not to buy a Tesla simply because their future is so murky and is not sure if they will be around for repairs. That's a problem they need to tackle now before it spirals out of control.

I’m sure there is one person that made a decision on that basis but I’ve heard many more not-real customers speculating about this as if they were in the market, but they very clearly wouldn’t buy a Tesla anyway and would’ve found another excuse (hint hint: with so much negative noise and FUD and hatred by big media it’s not hard to find one). The reality is even if Tesla hypothetically goes bankrupt, it’ll most likely cause a change in who owns the equity at large and will likely not materially impact the customer base.

In general, it’s much easier to expand the customer base by solving real problems for people who are eager to buy stuff but can’t (for example, due to real charging problems in urban areas or the car being expensive) than to try to soothe a skeptic. This applies to VCs you pitch too. Spending time changing people’s mind is often futile, and in this case it’s not at all clear that it materially impacts Tesla. They are for the most part production constrained still.

I've found that the majority of functions needed when driving are available through the steering column's stalks, left/right buttons, or voice commands. If I ever do need to use the touch screen, I can activate TACC & Autosteer, and glance back and forth between the screen and road while finding the next button to press. And for the common functions, I've developed an awareness of the button locations, so I can press them while maintaining a view of the road. Sort of like how I had a sense for the physical buttons of my last car; only difference is that now the sequence of button pushes must also be learned, not just the physical location.

Wait, do I understand your argument correctly? Fraud is acceptable because an AA reservation agent didn't realize the identity of the passenger was fake?

If I commit fraud against you, and you don't know it's fraud, it's your fault for you not immediately detecting it?

He was warned in 2004 against fake people, so he started using friends' names -- people who also didn't fly. He was terminated in 2008 after continuing to commit fraud, despite being warned.
>> In other words: companies and individual developers alike prioritize their business needs over providing value to the users.

I disagree. I would say that web apps are popular because they provide more value. If/when users/companies demand native apps, developers build that instead.

Web apps are easier for users to manage (no installation, no upgrading versions) and instantly cross-platform. Installation is not trivial for a non-technical person, nor an IT manager monitoring and upgrading thousands of PCs and tablets. The natural revenue models fit because the value is recurring -- the subscription means you constantly have installation, upgrades, and data taken care of as a service.

Is this not what is being withdrawn?

But still, just going by the link you have a list of principles:

https://beta.nhs.uk/service-manual/design-principles

Which are all well and good, but are more akin to a 'vision' than technical design principles (especially with regard to preference of tradeoffs, data management, priority of platforms etc).

The rest of it seems to be strongly geared towards the web. It may well be that the NHS only wants to collaborate on public-facing web services, much like GOV.UK and the Government Digital Service, but this would need to be either extended or abstracted to be applicable to, say, administrative systems.
until?
How about that 80% working the full 40 hours? Have you looked around? There's no shortage of things that need to be done, fixed, maintained, repaired, overhauled. There's no dearth of resources to learn how to do this.

I'd sooner see investment in apprenticeship programs and other efforts to reduce the "mooching" as you called it, than somehow thinking that having me work ten hours less a week is going to provide anything for anyone. How does me doing less work enable that? There's not a fixed supply of "work that can be done", by any stretch.
If we are going to continue with this metaphor of encryption being a lock...

If you obtain a warrant to bypass that lock, then you have the right to compel me to hand over the keys. In this case, that metaphorical "key" would be my "private encryption key".

The point where this metaphor breaks is when I either refuse to provide that key, or have lost/destroyed it. On one hand, it's trivial for a physical lock to be bypassed, either by picking it or destroying it, thereby allowing you to "get inside" and (the end goal) "search". Of course, to "search" encrypted data does not involve "getting inside". It involves decryption.
The issue with a large increase in minimum wage isn’t that consumers may have to pay a little more for a burger. It’s that small business owners, with razor thin margins to begin with, can’t afford to pay their existing staff the new, higher wages. Therefore, they cut staff, increase automation, etc. so now you have 1 person who makes $15 per hour and 1 person who makes $0 per hour. Can you truly say this is better than 2 people each making $7.50 an hour?
We should still be talking about this. That story fascinated me. If the media went into more detail on infrastructure beyond stories about how it's crumbling or who in congress does or doesn't want to pay for it, that could really make a difference.

I would watch a nightly news show called "Infrastructure Tonight" if it existed.

There's years of dashcam imagery available.

TBH, this feels like a "why aren't they happy eating cake" kind of response. Just look at the statistics of rising "deaths of despair" in the US. To say "I don't see why this kind of inequality is a bad thing" - well, huge amounts of inequality is also what ends up destroying democracies.
The standard criticism of academia these days is that it has abandoned modernism for postmodernism, not that it's too modernist.

Fascism itself was also very modernist in many ways, such as the obsession with industry and technology, the aspiration to innovate "beyond" liberalism and Marxism, and even the artistic and architectural styles it adopted.

I guess it depends on how strict your definition of algorithm is, but I share an office with an Architect and he seems to spend the largest portion of his time dealing with codes and rules and laws and compliance.

What's wrong with ADP? They have a fancy web interface and honestly, who cares once you get a direct deposit as an employee.
The effect of raising wages is that a chocolate bar still costs the same amount relative to the minimum wage as it used to. Minimum wage workers are not somehow more empowered to buy reams more things than they were back when it was half the current rate, or nobody would be complaining about wanting to raise it again.

$15 now, $20 in 2025, it won't end. Inflation has some bearing on this, but largely the effect of raising the minimum wage is simply to hurt the lower middle class who have managed to climb one or two rungs up from the bottom.
“Tesla has spent a lot of resources reinventing car manufacturing and yet they can't produce a vehicle that meets their needs.” Where are you getting this information? Design and manufacturing influence one another. None of the “leaders” in automotive space outsource their design or manufacturing. You need to control and master both to compete in this space. Perhaps you can take the Apple route and outsource the labor (Foxconn), but Apple still controls much of the manufacturing process such as introducing friction-stir welding to shrink the iMac or introducing unibody aluminum machining to the MacBooks and iPhones.

Whereas we started with a sort of level playing field https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Cos.,_In.... overturned the apple cart and gave the whole game away to broadcasters. An innovation-crimping, incorrect decision. It's akin to repealing the first sale doctrine and requiring a consumer bookseller to share her garage sale proceeds with the author.

I have a wonderful slingbox (distinguish from sling tv the service, and talk about self inflicted damage, slingbox took home all the ribbons) that makes life on the road almost tolerable. It does what Aereo did but with a slightly larger footprint. A courageous Congress will reverse the decision and restore the status quo ante.
Maybe I'm not familiar with what the steering wheel buttons do in a Tesla.

Volume, change stations, change tracks, voice command (siri), adaptive cruise control (including mph selection) and auto-steering are available on my steering wheel in my BMW. In the middle of the car, climate zone and drive modes are available as physical buttons and knobs.
The concept of "fair" is driving so much policy in the world right now, but there is no one definition. The concept that no one can settle on a definition for, is the concept that is, and will increasingly be, at the forefront of politics for the next century.
If we're starting with the assumption that Tesla is lying about shadow mode, which is the entire premise of the claim, it would not be surprising for a Tesla employee to disagree. Obviously this is one of those you-can't-win scenarios, so I fully understand the Tesla employee could be acting in good faith, but that alone is no more evidence than the original hacker's claim that it doesn't exist considering the context.

I consider it a very interesting thread where someone went looking for proof of shadow mode and couldn't find it. Maybe his conclusion is a little extreme, and I guess people thought I was trying to derail a Tesla thread with FUD when really I was trying to share an interesting piece and someone else's better-informed opinion (which is why I worded it the way I did). I sort of consider it similar to saying "expert A believes that..." but I guess I communicated that poorly.

For what it's worth, I'm glad people are actually looking at the source and critiquing it.
250 incidents in 17 years seems to hardly be an explanation to rule out de-escalation by default when interacting with the general population.

Inequality is actually continuing to shrink, but it's being redistributed in a way that makes it keenly visible, because the "new losers" are typically the people who held control of the discourse before.

Globally, income inequality is at historic lows:

https://ourworldindata.org/global-economic-inequality

Over 500M people have been lifted into the middle-class in China alone, with similar stories in India, Eastern Europe, and parts of Africa and the Middle East. It's just that this rise has largely come at the expense of the American middle class, which was the prime audience and prime producer of media for most of the late 20th century. So if you look only at the universe of people who were given a voice in the late 20th century, things are much worse than they were. If you look at the universe of all humans (or the small subset of Americans who work in industries benefitting from globalization), things are much better, both in terms of output and in inequality.
Sometimes I get a bit conspiratorial about the fact that whenever people want to give an example of how terrible life was in the past, they always mention primitive or agrarian times. It's almost never comparing life today with 100 years ago. (It's like they're finding a straw-man period.) But as Eric Weinstein has mentioned in plenty of interviews (e.g. in his latest one with Peter Thiel), life for the boomers were actually arguably better on average than it is for millennials today (and we're not talking about engineering millennials here).
> Does it do some fancy shpancy, mission critical calculations or simply returning results from a database with 10K records.

Or does it do something stupid, like manipulating a fixed but large amounts of data in a linked list, looking up in a linked list instead of a hash table, and/or passing lots of stuff up and down 20 layers of dependency-injected abstractions?

In my (arguably relatively brief) career, I've seen multiple cases where the core limit on product performance was something stupid that could be trivially identified with a profiler and could yield overall 10x boost of performance. Despite complaints from users, nobody really bothered to fix it.

If you lost your current status and became poor in a way matching your description, would you consider that bad? If so, in what ways would it be bad?

Would you be content, or seek to regain your current status? If you found that impossible would you be happy with your life?

These are rhetorical questions, as the standard win-the-forum-argument response is anticipated and will not be helpful.

Empathy and introspection, however, will.
Yes. It adds this feature. But only if you assume that the database was compromised or nefarious logging was enabled and no further access to the server was possible. Otherwise, the attacker can modify the JavaScript that is used by the client to perform the hashing (and remove/adjust the hashing function).

To be clear, it would have prevented these logged passwords from impacting other websites if the true cause of the Robin Hood password reset was a logging issue.

As a user, you can prevent this from happening either way by choosing strong, unique passwords for every service.
You shouldn’t teach anyone how to make a "weapon" if you can’t be sure that it won’t be used against other intellectuals. See also my reply above.
4% sounds optimistic, but its good to have a canvas to paint on.

Potential bad effects from the top of my noggin:

* You've compressed the compounding growth in prices (inflation) by two years in one stroke.

* You've instantly decreased the buying power of a lot of people; worst affected are those not affected by the bump (recipients of disability, recipients of social security)

* Fun addenda: You've set the precedent for a 100% bump from the current federal rate, and its more likely to happen again, once more compressing the inflation timeline and further pressuring people that don't work a waged job.

Oh, and the reason putting pressure on inflation like this is bad is that it discourages investment, which leads to weakened economies.
