If you are experiencing disdain because of this, you need to look inside yourself and see what needs to be fixed in your own thinking. Envy of new grads is not their problem, it is yours.

I have seen Americans casually discuss what cars they own and what cars they would like to buy. I have never once chastised them and asked them to think about the homeless and poor kids in Africa before casually discussing cars like an everyday thing. For ref, my family was too poor to own a car growing up.
Better do it in different countries and in different currencies and hope none of them get confiscated or have hyperinflation.
A lot of the strangeness seems to be in quotes from Dr. Karikuri. Did the author of the article misquote him or are his statements that confused?
While I understand your sentiment, these voter requirements would completely disenfranchise those who literally don't have access to quality education, especially POC who have been subject to systemic oppression (See redlining).

The solution should be to level the playing field (Access to education), not to change the rules of the game from under them.
Are you sure? Because it sure sounds like you disagree that these people deserve to be making large sums of money and then also not be appreciative of it. I would call that placing blame.

Yeah, but it is not like learning framework was months of effort. You learn it fast we you decide to.And it is not like job would disappear completely unexpectedly - you can see the signs.

I am not advocating not learning things for 20 years. I think it is ok to skip 1-2 years, then you check state and learn framework, relax, learn something fun, relax, learn framework, repeat.always one not all.

But the "current state" of the entire wavefunction doesn't necessarily contain very much information. You only get most of the complexity (solar flares, novels) if you look at subsystems of it.

I think the situation is exactly analogous to the Library of Babel in Borges' story. If someone sends you the entire library in the mail, they have given you zero bits of information. If they only send you a particular room of it you get more information, and narrowing it down to sending a particular book gives you more bits still.

It's the same with the multiverse. If we start out with the photon about to go through the half-silvered mirror, the state looks like |photon>⊗|me>, and then over time it evolves into

(1/√2)|photon went left>⊗|me observing left> + (1/√2)|photon went right>⊗|me observing right>

and the latter state contains no more information than the former one (you can run the time evolution backwards to recover the original state). However, if you restrict your attention and only consider one of the branches, e.g. |photon went right>⊗|me observing right>, then you have added (one more bit) of information. And most macroscopic processes can be explained "one branch at a time", since in practice decoherence means that there are no noticable interactions between branches. I think in the MWI this is the source of most complexity in the universe: not detailed information encoded in the initial state, and not objective collapse, but the bits of information you implicitly create if you only consider one branch of an experimental outcome.

I imagine the same thing happens in general: we start with some uniform soup (with ~zero information), in a bunch different MWI branches it self-gravitates slightly differently so we get a different set of galaxies and stars in each branch, then for each branch that has a planet, different quantum randomness may cause different intelligent life to develop, and eventually they may write different books. Of course, it's also possible that some small initial state gets magnified, as a separate mechanism, but that's the same in objective-collapse and MWI. The random bits created by objective collapse are the same same the ones you get by looking at particular branches in MWI.
This line of thinking can be used against almost any form of labor protections. People don't work in sweatshops because they love the job, they do it because they are desperate. That desperation allows their employer to take advantage of them. The government therefore needs to step in to protect the workers from being taken advantage of. In an ideal world that regulation would also come with some type of social safety net to protect the workers in event of any of these negative repercussions. That safety net is much more difficult to get support for politically (because it costs money) so it is usually an afterthought.
This seems like a weird statement. The people driving for Uber presumably looked at their options and decided to drive instead of apply to fast food chains. If they wanted to work in fast food, they could have?

If you could make .1% every on the stock market that would be a return of 29% a year. I am not sure how many hedge funds could get you that kind of return.

It's the only benchmark that we have any kind of analysis for (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3188171_The_Confoun...), which correlates to less defects and less time per feature. Less code is better. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I think it's a valid criticism. YMMV

According to Intel’s manual (although I don’t think it still applies):

“Under heavy load, with multiple cores executing RDRAND in parallel, it is possible, though unlikely, for the demand of random numbers by software processes/threads to exceed the rate at which the random number generator hardware can supply them.”

I don’t think it would be that hard to find something to route over multiple cores. If certain operations were unrolled and buffered, it would be overall more efficient.

And why do you say that as if it's a good thing? Perhaps its this exact attitude of extravagance and wastefulness (especially when taken to extremes like in SV) that has led us to the exact income disparity issue that so many people (many of which are in SF) decry.

Of course I'm not saying it has to be top of your mind all the time, but when we're in a post that is explicitly created for the purpose of discussing how high salaries are in SV, it is disingenuous to try to shut down discussion about how they might be too high.
I strongly suspect that is the case, and Americans aren’t pricing in the possibility of chronic illness (or job loss, etc.)
Massive misundertanding here:

Science doesn't work by noble individuals scrupulously following rules that they could ignore if they chose to.

Where science works, it works by incentivising one scientist to tear apart the next scientist's position. There's no better way to avoid having your argument torn apart than for it to be genuinely solid.

This is aptly demonstrated by Nature tearing into Elsevier...

The time to get really worried is when you stop hearing anything like this and get a message only of, 'Everything is fine, nothing to see here'.
If that's true, those goals are dangerous, and not clearly disclosed. They should prominently disclose something like this: "This extension does not hide your IP address from websites that use Cloudflare." And not leave it for people to discover that themselves.
While I agree with you that the unintended consequences of this bill will be a net negative, I take particular issue with this statement, "Uber isn't operating at a profit, so they don't have extra margin to pass on in the form of extra driver pay or employee benefits."

That's not how it works. Uber isn't operating at a profit because their current-investor-subsidized-rates are below the cost of their service. But there is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem there: there rates are low because they want to gain marketshare, which is only enabled by the flood of VC/IPO money.

Eventually, all of the rideshare companies will need to raise their rates to cover the cost of service, and that cost should include reasonable remuneration for their workers. If it turns out the market isn't viable at those costs (i.e. if people just stop taking rideshares altogether because it's too expensive), then it never should have existed in the first place.

Overdrafting is when the balance goes below 0. Policies vary by bank, but generally it's a $25~$50 (could be more or less) for _each_ transaction the bank processes while your account has a negative balance.

So looking at this case, let's say you have to go 7 days until this issue is resolved and the employees are given their paychecks. If they got automatic payments they could find that itunes, spotify, bills, etc, automatically charge them during that period. EACH charge might be 45$. Say 5 services do it, boom over 200$ in the hole in fees alone.

(If you're ever in the situation listen to the other comments about how to approach the bank about reversing over-draft fees)

> The really good fiction doesn't always have the conclusion at the end

I was going to say that for the opposite reason -- I don't think that something being a series or part of a larger whole makes it inherently better (sometimes it hurts; many a great book has been ruined by a sequel).

Some of the best books, however, have the conclusion right at the beginning and all the rest is "how we got there". C.F. much Vonnegut.
I hope this will become phenominally cheap, as I would love to see this thing used more in stores.

Here's a pie-in-the-sky example: I almost always buy clothes in-person. I want to see what I'm getting, and want to avoid the issues (discussed in other, mostly Amazon-related, posts) that come from buying stuff online. But I often run into trouble finding the specific item (make, style, and size) on the shelf. If each item were tagged (possibly as part of the anti-theft tag), I could be led directly to where the item is.

Here's a more realistic example: I want to buy an DB9 null-modem adapter from Micro Center. I can find out in general where it is. But if a tag were attached to the shelf, I could be led directly to where the item should be.

Of course, there are tons of issues (among which cost is but one). But it's nice to know that things like this may be possible!
> potentially life-friendly

Spoiler: it's not
I mean to put this as civilly as possible, but I don't believe you understand the meaning of blame if you actually think that. Saying that these grads don't deserve that much money (and also observing that they are not appreciative of it) is not casting blame at all.
Creating a such amount of money will just create inflation. You'll end up with exactly as much purchasing power, is not less.
It sounds like it bothers you that people know their value in a given market and are capitalizing on it like you could not and maybe still cannot. Sour grapes sounds about right.
With all due respect, that just sounds like more fuzzy memories of things that may or may not have actually happened (which I believe did not). What I remember about Bush 43 was him hosting Putin at his ranch in Texas in the first year of his administration, talking about how he'd looked into Putin's soul, hosting Putin at least once more at his family compound in Maine, and generally not acting like someone who would ever lambaste his opponents for having too favorable an opinion of Russia.

At any rate, I'm not trying to lambaste you, but it does seem ironic that you're criticizing people in general for having poor memories about the recent past when your own memories seem fairly hazy and inaccurate.
To underscore the point you are making, part of the drama of the The Big Short was the creative ways people had to find in order to short that particular market (or those markets. I think one group shorted credit spreads and another was shorting an index of derivatives tied to the mortgages? Been so long since I read it).

Yes, calling it "ride-sharing" has always been disingenuous at best. I suspect the idea was to make it sound more small-scale and personal, less formal and commercial, so that people wouldn't feel it needs regulation or oversight as much as a commercial transportation service.
What I am saying is, misplaced workers (if Uber does indeed become subject to AB5 and they must be employees) is these folks will find other work. The related point is these people are fully capable of that work.

Finding new work can be painful, but the damages are over-stated because there's low friction to entering work that doesn't demand specialized skills. Do you have two hands and can walk? Great, you can work the french fry fryer at McD's.

I contracted Malaria twice while driving around Africa for three years.

The first time in Mali was like the worst cold/flu I've ever had. The "cure" medicine (Coartem [1]) helped a lot. I was alright.

The second time I was in remote Angola and it was B.A.D. I was only 35 and very fit and strong. For five days I did not walk, talk, eat, sleep or function in any way. My friends were injecting me with the stronger version of Coartem twice a day, and I thought my head was going to split open from the severe headache.
I did not think I was actually going to die, but mighty close.
I lost 20lbs in those 5 days.

After that I was severely paranoid about covering up and using bug spray in the evenings, and I'm extremely happy I didn't get it again all through Southern and Eastern Africa for the 18 months after that.

I've been reading up on the drugs that are supposed to permanently remove it from your system, but they seem to function best on the Asian strain of Malaria. Maybe I'll take it anyway to prevent a relapse.

TLDR: I don't recommend getting Malaria.

The definition of A4 includes the tolerances. And the only reason it doesn't perfectly match the square root of two is rounding. It's not a non-sequitur to point out that 1/√2 is at the core of A4, not the particular millimeters you quoted.

> with no obvious labor differences for why this is

One difference that stands out to me is that the supply of people who can perform the job is constrained.

Other professions may be crucial - indeed, the truck drivers who deliver supplies to all stores from which we purchase daily goods are crucial - but that job in particular can be performed by almost anyone with minimal training.

Words like "crucial" don't have much meaning as far as determining job compensation: it's a supply/demand interaction. If the supply of people who can perform the job is not constrained, because the job is relatively easy to get into, then that will suppress the compensation.

It's difficult to obtain a computer science degree and perform at the level required to solicit job offers from the kind of companies that pay new graduates $200k. Imagine for the sake of argument that these jobs require an IQ of 125 or higher: then only about 5% of the population will be capable of performing at that level. (This is just an example. I'm not saying that I think programming has a particular IQ requirement.)

You're referring to "3rd party cookies" but it applies to ALL cookies that are not essential so I will answer with respect to all cookies...

Essentially, that's the company's problem. If they want to continue using cookies to store information(regardless if 1st or 3rd party) to do something that is not needed for me to use their service, then they have to inform the user and obtain consent.

If they find the cookies(& popups) result in less users using their service, they should change their behaviour or you know - actually check if they need these active all the time for everyone.
