You've moved the goal posts a bit, but regardless:

> The US has a federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr. This isn't a comparison with the 3rd world, this is a comparison with civilised, livable and comfortable lifestyles in other US cities.

There is no where in this country where $7.25 is a liveable, comfortable wage. It is the lowest amount legally allowed. And very few work for that wage - and very few of them are independent adults. See [1]. Nowhere in the United States can a minimum wage worker (or even close to it) affording the average 2 br apartment (say, if they had kids); and there are only a few places in the country where someone working 40 hrs / week on minimum wage can afford a 1 br apartment [2].

> It is obvious that the cost of living is a relevant factor. The question is why are the costs of living higher in California than elsewhere? It isn't because rich people exist. It is because California doesn't have enough houses for the marginal house-hunter.

I hope the above mentioned points make it clear that this is not a problem just in California, but nationwide. Which means wages are insufficient nationwide and cost of living is too high nationwide.

> Paying the marginal buyer more isn't going to create more houses. If there wasn't a place for them to rent before, there still won't be when you pay them more. If it were possible to create more houses, the current prices would already be making it happen.

I'm going to assume you're arguing in good faith here and respectfully disagree. The problem isn't that there aren't homes for them to buy or rent; the problem is that those homes and rentals are at too high a price. At $20/hr maybe they can afford to live in .5% of available rental units; and at $30/hr maybe they could afford 5%. That's a tenfold increase in potential living spaces, without those living spaces becoming more affordable.

Yes, the other issues in the bay area exist, with the NIMBYism and such. But these problems still exist nationwide. There are a few potential ways for government to help solve this issue. The main ways (hopefully I didn't miss any obvious ones) are: increase minimum wage or average wages via law or other influence; increase taxes on home ownership, especially for non-residents; introduce rent control laws; provide incentives for and remove obstruction from building new construction, especially high density construction.

Regardless, his logic is completely wrong and unfounded but who cares anymore. Who are these experts? No idea. When are they right? Irrelevant. What constitutes being wrong? Doesn't matter.

They clearly decided on the nuclear option, i.e. Campaigning with an incredibly vacuous overly-simplistic divisive message that has broken the United Kingdom. Some of the more abrasive untruths would have made Goebbels proud: Particularly the idea that this was them against the "establishment" e.g. Their mates, or the £350 million affair - Not because of the figure but because of the tax income from doing trade with the EU.

21 spent years talking about their secret revolutionary new mining chips, which ended up being a lot worse than the chips made by smaller scrappier companies. They raised over 100 million dollars, and probably lost most of it mining unprofitably.

There's nothing wrong with a failed startup, but this was a poor copy of miners and mining chip producers with much less funding and in some cases bootstrapped to profitability. The only thing that set 21 apart was an amazing ability to razzle-dazzle VCs.

After failing to mine Bitcoin profitably themselves, 21 came out of stealth mode with a staggeringly stupid product: mining chips for toasters. The idea was that you would buy a toaster (or lightbulb or something) with one of 21's mining chips and it would waste energy while mining miniscule amounts of Bitcoin. This was ridiculous on its face, since the amount of Bitcoin that could be mined on these chips was far less than you could simply buy for the cost of the electricity (not to mention the chip itself). Also, this amount was too small to even be transferred, given Bitcoin's transaction fees!

I'm not exaggerating, this product was never, and could never be viable. Still Balaji was able to razzle-dazzle the tech press into trumpeting it as some sort of innovation.

Once this failed, they re-branded as Earn.com and started making a grab-bag of Bitcoin hackathon projects, such as paying you Bitcoins for reading spam, or answering quizzes. This was always an extremely uninspiring and ultimately non-viable product, but at least it wasn't complete vaporware.

Then Coinbase, a very successful and competent company, threw away $100 million to help 21's VCs recoup their failed investment. The only explanation that seems rational is that Balaji had some very compromising footage of Brian Armstrong at the a16z holiday party.

I'm not sure about his past career (some biotech thing), but Balaji's legacy in crypto is to waste enormous amounts of money on blatantly ridiculous boondoggles. It's unfortunate that Coinbase wasted so much time and money perpetuating this.
This article begs the question of our conciousness not being a physical process which is cool I guess If your peddling thoughts from a dualist from over a century ago. I still have no reason however, not to believe our conciousness doesn't arise from the physical configuration and other processes therein related. To paraphrase "Science cant talk about this purely in physic terms." No, Science simply hasn't FOUND the way to talk about it in physical terms which I personally believe in time we will. To be absolutely fair, as you may have noticed I'm in the camp of people who think Kant is largely garbage so I'm have a natural bias against works using his thought on the matter.
Yeah, my default would absolutely be client certs. That's where my question about "an environment hostile to good ideas" comes from -- I was assuming the lack of HTTPS was there for a reason.
Now we are just going in circles. This goes back to the first sentence of my response to you:

>The problem with this line of argument is that it is a general argument against government and not specific to this issue.

If your argument is that you can't trust the government, you can't trust the government regardless of whether they have a warrant or whether they are operating in the digital or physical world.
The examples you give are of brains for which there is conscious experience, at least in some areas. For an existing consciousness-capable brain to have some capabilities that are both unconscious and memory-inaccessible does not disprove the potential existence of fully-functional, non-conscious brains.

Although I'd agree that otherwise functional non-conscious brains would probably be unable to communicate coherently about personal experiences/thoughts/memories/etc.
I don't know anyone who would support Russia in that conflict but Ukraine itself isn't very popular with many due to unresolved Volhynia massacres[1]. Mostly though people just don't care about a low intensity war that feels far away (even if it isn't).

The point is that the current Trump administration has a massive problem with immigration - that may or may not have consequences if you want to emigrate to the US. Or Brexit - if Johnson really delivers a no deal Brexit then UK economy is getting fucked over hard plus the right of free movement for EU citizens vanishes so you can get deported overnight.

Politics at this scale are life changing matters, and unfortunately with both the US and the UK governments it is clear that they are not run by competent people with a plan but by people who literally don't have any fixed opinion except nationalism - and that means that, as an immigrant, you're rock bottom of the ladder.
That's not true. God doesn't imply he wants you to behave a certain way. Most religions work that way but a God which simply created the universe and doesn't care what humanity is doing is a possibility.

TBH screenshots look very similar to Visual Studio Code/Sublime Text/Atom as far as functionality goes (there's a terminal, code outline, file browser, linter errors, quick command popup, ...).

Not saying that's a bad thing, far from it, but they're calling it "totally rethought". What am I missing?
Agree. Hyperlinks and the subset used by term emulators today. For example bold and tables can be rendered on even terminal emulators today. Another issue is probably captioning.
Ah, gotcha. That sounds like token introspection basically, which is a (budding?) standard, not really userinfo.
There is a saying: it’s good to work on your weaknesses, but don’t dwell on them because otherwise you’ll spend all your time doing things you’re bad at.

hi

Checked out your profile/web page.

Can i email you about a small biz-dev opportunity?

We PAY YOU a monthly commission. We dont want any customer or account data. We dont compete with u, or your customers.

I hope this doesn't sound too spammy..
But you said that you get the "benefit" of lower prices - but I just don't see that benefit if it's mandatory to then tip 15%. Whatever reduction in price you're getting you'll pay in tips, so as a customer you're getting shafted either way. No?
The problem I have with this is that you can then claim that anything and everything is conscious.

Create a turing machine out of marbles and levers, and it's suddenly "conscious" with the right configuration. You really believe that given enough space, a bunch of marbles running along tracks bouncing off levers can become aware that it is a giant marble machine?

The atoms in one pocket of the sun's chaotic fusion reaction might randomly and momentarily behave like an intelligent quantum computer - does that mean the sun is momentarily conscious from time to time?

While I'm a strong advocate of speedy software, fast doesn't always mean better than reliable. The points raised in the comments above are valid: if a legal team needs a report once a month and it takes a day to return the results but is super accurate, that's almost always a preferred choice over something quick but less reliable. There are a lot of comments on this thread but a lot of them lack context: yes,maybe it takes ages to run a query,but what's behind the scenes? Does it do some fancy shpancy, mission critical calculations or simply returning results from a database with 10K records.

I think we're in agreement here. I purposely didn't imply that GDP growth was a good indicator of smart social policies, just that GDP shrinkage (especially to that extent) was an inarguable indicator of bad social policies.

There may also be GDP growth in a country with bad social policies. I wouldn't expect there to be much GDP shrinkage in a country with smart social policies, though.

Aren’t you conscious of the code and what the code is supposed to be doing?
I use both command line and GUI as part of my workflow.

I use GUI mainly for doing "visual" stuff like looking at diffs, and commit and merge history (especially across branches), etc. In my opinion, this stuff is quicker and easier and looks better on a GUI.

I also use GUI if I have several changes and I only want to stage some of them (or partials). It's easy to go through and stage/unstage things on a good GUI.

For everything else I use the command line. Almost any time I want to actually DO something (like commit, push, pull, etc), I do this through command line.
squashfs was dropped because Greg doesn't like squashfs, which I can understand somewhat (it doesn't have an active maintainer really, there's no userspace library, just binaries, etc.).

However, we're doing a project where I work that depends heavily on squashfs, so the fact that it was dropped from this even though it would have been nicer because people don't like it because it doesn't have a maintainer worries me. Hopefully someone picks it up :)
I'd wager there is plenty of 'dark money' that never gets reported i.e mob, and politicians being bribed.
Not quite that crazy. There is a lot of overhead that comes out of that 1000/day. Medical benefits, retirement, the accountant to track their pay - they are still make 6 figures for sure, but it isn't 270k/year.
> Which would be a factor if the sole reason for picking a particular restaurant is lowest price.

Actually, it wouldn't matter if lowest price was the sole factor for picking a particular restaurant. Because all restaurants would be lowering their prices by the same general percentage.

However, it does impact the choice of whether or not to go out to eat.

Unless you're talking about the case where some restaurants discourage tipping (and charge more) but others don't. In which case, there's many cases of that happening and the restaurants closing or switching back. Because price, which not the sole factor, can be a very important one. It certainly impacts my choice when I go out to eat.
The nice thing about this is that you can keep kernel headers around in a much smaller format on-disk, while still making them available separately as a package if you want.

A few problems this solves:

1. Neither user nor tool knows specifically how to install the headers for specifically this version of the kernel.

2. Manually installing a header package on e.g. Ubuntu marks it as manually selected, meaning it doesn't get cleaned up with an 'autoremove'; selecting a generic kernel headers package (like linux-headers-4.14-generic or something) means that every time your system auto-updates the kernel package version (which happens by default on, for example, AWS IIRC, and happens a lot) you end up with yet another copy of the kernel headers, and then you blow your I/O budget uninstalling them.

3. It removes one extra step to running e.g. an eBPF program, or building an e.g. out-of-tree kernel module, so make scripts can now start to take advantage of that. For example:

# Get headers
if modprobe kernel_headers; then
<unpack the tgz>
else
<scan through /usr/src, /usr/local/src, etc. for what looks like the right version, or fail>

I want to point out, that manufacturing a gun is not "non-trivial".

Given blueprints, (publicly available) or a template and accurate enough measures, a lathe, and a mill, anyone can make a firearm or parts for one in their garage.

Is there reading involved? Yes. But any argument you make w.r.t. The futility of illegalizing encryption is immediately portable to firearms manufacture.
Apparently, yes, they take home less money, counterintuitively. The no-tipping 20% surcharge model was tried at many Seattle restaurants a few years ago and now it is all but gone. I've asked employees about it and they all tell me they hated it because they made less money, hence why most restaurants got rid of the 20% surcharge policy and went back to tipping.

One bartender I talked to made the (astute) observation that people feel more generosity toward individuals than to restaurants -- it de-personalized the transaction from the customer perspective, which turned the service charge into a food tax.

It's interesting to note that the NYT publishes this damning piece mere weeks after Erdogan green-lighted Turkey's purchase of Russian S-400 missile systems despite the U.S threatening to kick them out of the F-35 program if they did so. The story appears at a time when an important NATO ally is straying from the pack and leaning instead towards Russia's sphere of influence.

My prediction is that we will be seeing more and more mainstream-media pieces like this in the near future, with a healthy sprinkling of words such as "regime", "dictatorship" and “fascism”, and featuring characters like Demirtas as protagonists of the story. They will undoubtedly be portrayed as freedom-fighters leading the fight against oppression.

>The USA is purging intellectuals as well through outrage culture, online mobs, and the weaponization of political correctness.

While there is some silencing of people and view points, I don't think it is not fair to those in Turkey to consider it on the same level as their purge. Outside of a few areas dealing with the social sciences, the worst an expert in their field is going to have to deal with is government funding cuts.

I can point out some problems with the way we currently do science, including funding issues, replication issues, unfair amounts of criticism based on how socially agreeable a finding is, and in very rare cases people's employment being at risk for 'wrongthink', but even the worst cases of these barely even compare and no one is ending up being imprisoned over it.

Unless my memory is failing me, in the Google case it was really /userinfo (as in the OIDC Core UserInfo endpoint) and not token introspection (a "post-auth" endpoint taking a token, not a "pre-auth" one you pass a JWT to).

>> Whats the difference between thinking like an Indian company vs an American company? You got me curious.

To a first order of approximation, Most american products are tailored towards "Ease of use", "Batteries included" style. All most all Indian products are focused on claiming cheapest cost at the cost expense of convenience.
Right, I said that's fine as long as I'm able to serve myself it's okay. But when you can't find your server for an hour when you just want the check to leave, it's a bit ridiculous.

I was just using Japan as an example of a different service culture since the GP brought up the comparison.
That's for the shortlist. It's perfectly possible, albeit vanishingly unlikely that everyone preferred Hunt and the buffoon as second choice.

The real reason in vast majority of cases, why most of our software seems slow is not because someone used Javascript instead of Win32 C or something else programming language related. The real driver of slowness are the network requests for everything.

You could build your software in assembly but if each action has to hit a rest endpoint, the network request will utterly dwarf anything else happening locally.

So as more and more software moves to browser as web-apps this slowness is unavoidable.
