Politics is where you have the most leverage. Bezos is one of the wealthiest individuals in the world, owns a newspaper, and yet Bernie Sanders was still able to shame Amazon (for fulfillment workers) and Disney into paying $15/hour.

My hope is Yang finds himself with a cabinet position (I think he'd be a great fit for heading the US Digital Service [under the Executive Office of the President] when Matt Cutts is ready to bounce, to continue the digital transformation of government for service delivery) in the next administration where he can champion his less controversial (ie not UBI) policies while building political capital for a future run, when the electorate has evolved (as it always does over time).

I am willing to accept that there are studies and statistics that seem to contradict what is commonly accepted. I'm also willing to accept a lot of the evidence here that the problem is not nearly as bad as believed.

This was, however, clearly written by statisticians that have no teacher friends or family. If they did, they would have asked more relevant questions of the data. For example WHY do teachers work "on average 40.6 hours during the work week, compared to 42.4 hours for private-sector professionals".

My wife is a teacher, and I can tell you exactly why.

Also, I laughed particularly hard at "teaching jobs are not particularly stressful or unpleasant compared to other occupations"

Hilarious.
That study was WIDELY reported on, and most of the reporting was faulty. Now this river factoid is stuck in millions of heads.
I'm always reminded of this when I visit Toronto— the last time I was there, my partner and I were going to see a small concert in the west end, and I groaned as Google Maps told me it would be a 40 minute trip by TTC, including the walk at both ends.

Usually we would have taken the subway, but for whatever reason I was feeling lazy this time so we drove. It was almost a half-hour trip across downtown through the tail end of rush hour, and then ten minutes of circling the block looking at parking lots and garages that were already full, and then another ten minutes of walking back to the venue from the street parking we finally found several blocks away.

And no, the solution is not "build more parking", the solution is to further incentivise mass transit use. For example, in this case, I probably would have been dissuaded from driving if Google Maps had not only incorporate traffic delays into its estimate, but also highlighted that the apparently plentiful nearby parking lots were all likely to be full at the time of my planned arrival.

Spot on. People also don't realize that spending money effectively is a skill. $1000 bottles of champagne are for those that lack creativity with how to deploy their capital. Those of us who practice conscious spending can derive significant joy from money.
This seems to use private education as a benchmark for the entire argument. From quit rates, to pay, to conditions, and beyond, but ignores the obvious which is that private pay and private conditions are largely pinned to be just above public salaries and conditions (meaning private education cannot be used as a benchmark for when someone is under-paid, over-qualified, or has too high of a quit rate because they are related).

Personally I think someone required to have a degree (master's for quoted salary), continued education requirements, and licensing earning under $50K/year starting is too low. Plus no teacher is working 8-3, you'd have no opportunity for lesson planning, grading, and all those extra curriculars they are essentially guilted into organizing.

The fact that I could walk out of college with zero experience and only a degree, and earn $20K more than that working only 9-5 in the same city seems unfair (as a programmer). But I have no idea how society decides salaries. It seems pretty arbitrary from my perspective.

But it is great that at the end of a long career a few unicorn teachers can earn $100K, a salary I earned within 5 years and still no master's or licencing.
The great thing about Bulgaria is that the government doesn’t intervene in much of the life of the average working-class citizen. Institutions are weak and ineffective, and as long as you don’t claim any benefits from the state, they will not bother you for much. Personal income tax is not as strictly collected as it is in the West, few people are serious about it, the government is aware and they just don’t put the effort to fix it. Many self-employed service workers like plumbers and home repair guys are officially unemployed and do not declare a penny of income. The bureaucratic burden for companies however can be off-putting and that keeps many individuals in the gray sector.

The three month break is a myth. Teachers are generally required to spend weeks doing prep before the year starts and weeks closing out after the year ends. There are also recommended to required activities during the summer. They also typically have to work during the summer because $40-50k is not enough money to live on, in most places.

No, you're right: The WTO has ruled against AirBus, which makes their subsidies de facto officially illegal. But Boeing isn't a great source for understanding the intricacies of the issue, and by definition any claim that subsidies are improper is also a claim that they are illegal. That's pretty much what I meant, along with pointing out that Boeing's subsidies are similarly problematic.
Germany's healthcare is very efficient, but definitely very conservative in the treatments.

Salaries in the region can vary wildly.

Your data for Croatian dev salaries is mostly accurate - junior hires will net up to €1k, if they have some exp (interns or good personal projects) that miight go to €1.5k. Actually €1.5k is median dev salary, with seniors fetching €k2 net and team leads maybe up to €2.5k.

Note that this is all net monthly salary. Taxes, social, medical and pension contributions (all witheld by employer) add to roughly again that amount for these salary levels. Here's a recent survey (in Croatian but you'll be able to make sense of the charts and tables) with a lot more details (PDF): https://www.ictbusiness.info/media/infografika/developerske-...

Then there's freelance work, which exploded in recent years, partly due to a miscalculated tax break: if you're freelancer and register as a sole proprietor, you pay miniscule tax for up to €40k per year, handily beating most local companies' hiring budgets.

This lead to massive uproar by said companies, and there's now quite heated debate around the minutia of it. There are primarily two reasons for the complaints: first is that remote companies (which often hire these freelancers on full-time basis) basically get 50% discount, and the second is that local companies started laying off people and "conntracting" them as "freelancers", which is illegal but the guidelines on how exactly that's determined are extremely vague.

And that's just one country :)
That study was WIDELY reported on, and most of the reporting was faulty. For example this article says 'around 90% of all the plastic in the world's oceans flows there through just 10 rivers.'

I think the "always working 12+ hour days" thing is a myth. My wife is a teacher and I would say her and the teachers she works with will occasionally work extra hours, but by far it's mostly 7.5 hour days (8:30am - 4pm).

My wife makes under $40k after about 10 years. Health benefits blow, too. I'd love if the unions around here were some of those mean ol' ones who get teachers way more than they deserve or whatever. The one here can't even keep their daily planning periods clear of bullshit meetings. She grades or lesson plans for over an hour just about every night, has 30-60 minutes of meetings after school at least once a week. That wasn't so bad before we had kids, but it's really shitty now.

Lots of her co-workers work second jobs to make ends meet. Luckily for us I make a whole lot more than she does, which is dumb because she both does way more good than me and works much harder.

Setting aside whether is is reasonable to judge the density of the US by only measuring dense areas, Ohio does have rail service. Amtrak serves Toledo, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. And there is heavy and light commuter rail in Cleveland.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTA_Rapid_Transit

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ohio_railroads

You are on to something though, in that Columbus, the largest city in Ohio, and several of the other major cities are not served.

The major cities of Columbus, Akron and Dayton do not have Amtrak service. Columbus is the largest metropolitan area in the U.S. without passenger rail service. Columbus last had service with the National Limited in 1979. Dayton (which lost service in 1979) and Akron (which lost service in 2005) are the eleventh and twelfth.[2]

I think the future is less/no screen. Typing on these folding phones seems like a worse experience. Typing at all isn't really natural, and neither is staring at planar, glowing glass.

I think the future is conversational computing. I don't own an Alexa/HomePod/etc (yet... maybe some open source on prem thing at some point), but I think that's where the puck is moving. It's just that today their capabilities are somewhere around a rotary phone vs. an iPhone. Better than a telegraph (which I guess in this analogy is _typing_ your words into a document) but still very rudimentary. All it needs is time and effort.

Similar to HomePods, we have AirPods and their equivalents. The phone is just a conduit through which can pass the data necessary for the OS to talk with you, to do what you need.

I used to live on Queen's Quay and saw it pretty much every night. At first it was only the solid colours blinking and racing up and down the tower, but one day it was really obvious that there was a picture involved - it looked like the edge of the screen of a worn out VHS recording.

Entrepreneur’s Shouldn’t “Scratch Their Own Itch”
(Throwaway, for obvious reasons.) I work for a boring start up remotely half of the week (2 days in the office) and I run my own SaaS business on the side (making a few $k MRR after 5+ years). I do sometimes day dream about being fired, selling my company and quitting tech entirely for a damn good while. I have well exceeded my threshold. Perhaps I will continue to watch Twitch instead of work, sabotaging my job, or perhaps I will get my shit together. I am not really sure.

> For members of the privacy community that oppose efforts like this,

What is it that you oppose? Specifically, which of the enumerated rights on the linked page do you have a problem with?
> But would you generate a user-visible changelog from your merges?

We can, and do. Knowing that the merges are going to wind up as items in the changelog leads us to size and structure them accordingly, or at least make a best effort to. The end result is a changelog where most PRs are somehow "noteworthy" and the ones that aren't (usually "chore" type in Conventional Commits lingo) can all be grouped together down the tail end.

The point isn't to produce a perfect result, but one that is "good enough". With this system, the friction to produce a new release is so low, and we have so many projects, that we can easily push out a steady stream of releases at very low cost with this approach. And following the pattern across all the projects has been great for consistency, compared to the relative chaos in patterns and procedures that we had before.
When most people say "50% of their income" they tend to mean on a marginal basis.

Now that Donny capped state, local and property tax deductions at $10,000 per year (meaning you get double-taxed on the rest) and reduced the mortgage interest tax deduction cap from $1M to $750K, that number got much closer.

At $300,000 you're paying 48.65% marginal. That doesn't include, in SF, a 9% sales tax, a 1.188% property tax (that of course even renters pay as owners use rental income to offset that cost), and to your point, luxury and gas taxes.

I believe a lot of the stopping power comes from ceramic cinders in the pads.

I have a fuzzy recollection that they trickled down into mid-tier vehicles not long after that. 2000-ish?

OP here. For me it's Techzing[0] - it's a general tech/startups discussion that also follows the lives of the hosts. Any given episode is a mix of topics, so you never quite know what cool stuff is going to come up and that's one part of the appeal - the other part is I've been listening for a few years so am also really interested in the updates on the personal stories of the hosts - they get up to pretty interesting stuff so as soon as an episode lands I'm keen to know what they've been up to.

I'd say this one takes a while to get into but would definitely recommend starting a few episodes back and seeing how you like it - you will probably thank me!

This seems like a cool feature, but would I be correct in thinking that:

1) If you're only using the generated column for filtering/sorting rows, you'd be better off using indexes on expressions? (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-expressional...)

2) Therefore, if you're instead interested in returning the generated columns' values, this feature would be useful in proportion to how expensive the expression you're using is, because you're saving time by precomputing the column rather than computing at query time.

Edit: I can also see the benefit of removing the burden on the person performing the query to have to remember the details of the expression, or in the server case, not having to duplicate the expression across code bases.

82% of the US population lives in urban areas. Most Americans look out their front door to see a dense metropolis with thousands of people per square mile.

The upshot of this is that quite a modest train network could easily serve 50%+ of Americans. Once that's done, then you can come back and complain about how it's hard to run trains to that one guy who lives in a shack somewhere, and I'll agree with you.

Think of it like the interstate highway system. Yes, not every single American has a highway running to their door. But a heck of lot of people make daily use of the system and 100% of the population benefits from it.
