I think the problem could arise in the case of things like heirlooms or homes that have been in the family for years.

I think you might also need to write the law so that people could choose to inherit debt on the same terms as their parents. Otherwise, couldn't the bank demand a higher interest rate as a way to force someone off of their property? How does this sort of thing work currently?
Saudi Aramco Announces Its IPO
Essentially what you’re saying is that farmers have convinced wealthy people to pay them to stop growing food. If this catches on in a major way then I can think of at least one reason this will turn out badly.
Great, now just ban third-party origin resources.
Probably what happened.

Why not just give everyone an extra random day off a year. At the beginning of the year there is a draw to pick the next random day off from the work calendar. Make it into a public holiday. Random Day!
It’s estimated that Microsoft made more from each Android phone sold via patent licenses than Google.

Apple sued Samsung not for the Android parts but for the design of the phones.
No deliberate misquote. No troll. I was just pointing out what seemed to be bias in you comment.

Again, the article was badly written. We just differ in opinion on the substance and therein lies the rub I suppose.

In our highly charged social climate this is not surprising.

I wish you well.
Japan’s work culture is crazy. Everyone works too many hours and is NOT productive. It seems like the easiest problem in the world to solve for them, give people back some time in their day, enjoy life more, and get more productivity.

That said, Keynes predicted we’d have a 20 hour work week by now in the US, and when exactly does that happen.
CS degree. Even in product management roles, they all want CS degrees.

I aced a few CS classes, dropped out, and continued to teach myself to code for several years. That seemed to do the trick. The classes were just so boring/ irrelevant, and I wanted to hack on personal projects instead of professorial tasks.

Yeah that is kind of the point I wanted to get across. Fingerprinting isn't some major secret that big tech is using.. its a small tactic used by some companies that gets more attention than it really deserves. There is a section in part 2 specifically about fingerprinting under the subtitle "DENTIFYING A DEVICE WITHOUT AN ID".

Browser fingerprinting is a single piece in creating an id graph. Fingerprinting would be 100% useless without a graph, unless you're doing it to individuals which would be NSA-level acting.
The website redirects to a random subdomain which could explain the cost, but even then 2k sounds like a lot.
I see this as a first change from taxing income (work) to taxing significantly above average success (luck).
> It's probably the most stupid tax system in the developed world.

In Germany you can end up in a similar situation, though I think the gap is smaller.
No, the social contract I am an engaging in is, "I will take care of some of the elders, and when I reach an older age, someone will help take care of me." There is no agreement on ages, amount of benefits, or anything else specified, just that it could exist.

I proposed solutions that are one possible answer, there are others: perhaps removing the income cap, or upping the contributions from employers who recently won a 40% reduction in taxes with the tax cuts? Maybe decreasing benefits now is also a possible solution (again, as I proposed).

The point being, Social Security and Medicare ARE NOT (by definition) Ponzi or Pyramid schemes. Ponzi schemes are INVESTMENT vehicles. There is no investment in this case. Pyramid schemes are (again by definition) structures where recruitment and growing the organization are requirements. Social Security doesn't require this, and to argue otherwise is arguing in bad faith.
This is why I just read/watch primary sources on things I don't know about.

Don't know much about the Syrian conflict? Time to immerse myself in reading translated documents and watching videos from the ground.

Don't know much about Medicare for All? Skim some of the actual bill, read actual speeches by politicians.

It's all much more informative than reading the same news article with a slightly different spin in 5 different outlets.
This is a bizarre article because in some sense getting a computer science degree has advantages to teaching yourself to code, but I don't think the article really says any of them and instead pinpoints other things that as a self-taught coder were not an issue for me: teamwork, time management, people skills, translating skills, negotiating skills, etc.

What I think I missed in a CS degree was study of lower level fundamentals of operating systems, compilers, databases, algorithms. Things that you don't necessarily get exposed to at a deep level building out a Ruby on Rails web app. And teaching yourself to code you can still seek those out to, that was just my particular path into software development.

I think the article could be strengthened by mentioning and focusing on some of those things.
One can draw from this that the GPL is quite toothless. If even the biggest most important GPL'd software in history can't or won't defend itself, then why should anyone care about the GPL?

Probably vibrating the sensor works with tiny invisible specks but I agree that swabbing is the only solution for those big enough to be visible in pictures. My previous camera (Canon 700D) survived about 2 years w/o swabbing because I was very careful when changing lenses. Once I got thoughtless while changing (left the body open for too long while it was windy), the sensor vibration never had a chance.
Oh, thank you for this :) Because I won't deny, a friend originally came to me with this theory and it has been bugging me :)
Elon has said that they'll allow Starlink partners to censor when they resell the service in their local market. Probably the only way that they'd be able to sell their service in that market.

I think RISC-V is going to win for fundamentally the same reason that ARM won: it removes obstacles between product teams and processor cores. ARM didn't win by having the best instruction set design or the most advanced architecture, it won because licensing it was less of a hassle than licensing a different core/ISA. It's like ARM had a "buy now" button where everyone else had "contact sales" buttons. But extending that metaphor, RISC-V is "you don't need to click a button; it's already on your porch".

I assume that RISC-V still has a gap (relative to ARM) between the ISA/HDL levels and getting to an actual tape-out. But I think SiFive et. al. can tackle it.
Throwing unfounded doubt onto the work of some experts is about as useful as shouting "fake news!".
> 9-5/5 is less bad for this kind of work than the Chinese 9-9/6... but it's still bad.

It's the same in the Middle East, often worse (12+ hours for 6 days, maybe a few less on Fridays).
Go ahead: implement a four day work week. I'll keep working five or six days per week like I do now, and consequently, I'll look more productive and impactful compared to the do-as-you're-told types. You can't actually stop people in a creative profession from working, and tech generally evaluates people on their impact. What do you think will happen?
So, I have two engineering degrees, but not a CS degree, so I'm kind of an intermediate case between the CS degree and the self-taught programmer, but closer to the latter.

The only one of the advantages listed in this article that seems true to me, is the Prestige of having a CS degree. There are plenty of employers who will require a degree, and a few which prioritize a CS degree.

In general, CS majors spend their first few years unlearning all of the theoretical constructs they were taught in college. 90+% of the programming which needs to be done in the real world is CRUD with a few special features. Rarely are those special features related to anything taught in school, they are usually horrible hacks that are related to the legacy system your new system has to connect to.

There are, of course, exceptions, and for a few employers a CS degree is a big advantage. But, unfortunately, much of the teamwork and communication skills which the author lists s advantages of a CS degree, are again something where the CS major has to get over their schooling, and learn to communicate in the language that everyone else on the team understands.

Which, of course, nearly every CS major learns to do, they're smart people. But the only thing they really get out of the CS degree that matters in the real world, is the prestige, in 90+% of cases.
Who comes up with ideas like this?

I’m not sure lazy people care which day of the week it is.
Realistically, a law like this (though it would never happen) would be something along the lines of 100% tax on inheritances over 10 million dollars.

> I think you might also need to write the law so that people could choose to inherit debt on the same terms as their parents.

I assumed that this was already the case.

quick e: Yeah, seems like this is already law "Under federal law, lenders must allow family members to take over a mortgage when they inherit residential property"

Actually, it's worse than that; the fact that price indexes include hedonic adjustments mean that the actual quantity of basic necessities that one can afford at the poverty line goes down with time, but this is “offset” because luxuries that that the poor can't support are qualitatively superior. That is the case even accepting that that basics necessities are made with the cheapest ingredients available, as new cost cutting techniques become available.
Not as dumb and not something that catches everyone but a similar problem in the UK is free childcare.

22 hours of free childcare a week is worth ~£9k a year post-tax. If either you or your partner earn a penny over £100k then you're no longer eligible for any of your children. So with two kids in nursery a penny pay rise might lead to a £30k pre-tax pay cut.
One month is not enough to check whether this works. Furthermore it's important to check for the Hawthorn Effect.

A sibling comment says there's a similar system in Australia - I don't think the Wikipedia "see also" section is anywhere near exhaustive on this topic, so no idea how many countries are covered.

I agree it would be great to have something like this globally. Or at least to begin with inside of the SEPA (which recently introduced international instant payments)
I humbly offer an alternate title:

"Larry Has No Common Lived Experience with People Outside His Bubble"

Comparing Arlington, VA or any of the top-earning metro areas to Flint, MI makes little sense to his argument. There are thousands of communities that he could compare to Flint and find much in common.

A more compelling argument might be: 100 million people throughout the USA similarly struggle to make ends meet. They unemployed black man in Flint has a great deal in common with the under-employed white woman working at walmart in Peoria, Larry just can't see it.
I’ve also had a great experience with clickhouse. Very easy to set up and maintain. Perhaps a little rough around the edges compared to Postgres, but I would look to clickhouse first for analytics.
Right, I am remote and I actually work most Friday’s. This because I partner with our sales force and they work every day since they are 98% commission based.

But on the rare occasions I try to get ahold of people who are strictly salary on these Friday’s can be a challenge. But it’s usually not a huge issue either. In an emergency we can get ahold of someone who can help.
work from home is very industry/role dependent, IT can easily work from home but the same can't be said for Hardware Ops or finance, who often rely on paper even in "modern" companies.

if there's going to be a "new default" I think the 3 day weekend makes the most sense, or a Wednesday off scheme where you work 2 sets of 2 days.

Great, now let's go and build websites that don't require 100 request per page.
The alternative is privatized social security with payments based on the market price of an annuity.

It makes no sense to redistribute wealth from those poor in years to those rich in years. You can require everyone to pay in without also having a backwards redistribution program.
It looks like this was a sales department. The metric of productivity was sales per employee according to the tweeted image and the Nikkei article.

As a uni dropout myself and regretting it now a bit, I've always seen university education as getting a map.

You go to the school and get a map with all the roads, one-way routes, walks, parks, etc.

If you learn by yourself, your map may not contain some of those routes and you may not know that you can actually go some other way or you may go a way that has a dead end.

On the other hand, it is just a map. You have to walk it yourself and university cannot make you walk all the map. But at least you know (almost) all the paths and their requirements.
The artists and performers are often quite reasonable. When you sign a major label deal, many sign away the rights to and control of their work in an effort to make a living and support their families. They need the money, also maybe a gold record.

Once they sign, the RIAA and label lawyers get to work, so the creator may not have any influence or own the masters.

Artists have a good chance of getting the point that authentic publicity is gonna garner authentic fans with authentic ticket stubs, but in the contract, on page 147 section 14a, under "Rights and Royalties" states ...

I would discuss the situation frankly with the most experienced angel investor you have. They'll hopefully have seen something like this before and can talk you through the particulars.
> I did high school in a farming town in rural South Jersey and a Phoenix suburb and didn't notice that big of a difference

I did public high school in one of the bigger cities in California's Centela Valley and in a relatively affluent suburb on the fringes of the Bay Area (and, for a brief while, a third place less than 50 miles from the second) and noticed huge differences at all three that had nothing to do with physical infrastructure or climate.
I knew about the Apple Corp and the trademark issues with Apple, but somehow I didn't know The Beatles owned Apple Corp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps).

I heard a rumor the other day that the company name "Apple" comes from Alan Turing's method of suicide. Appropriating it from The Beatles seems more likely now.

Do they get a free pass because they're not a tech company?
Also there will never be a lack of beef. This is economics 101 that people have a problem grasping. As the price of beef (or anything) goes up, this is a signal to entrepreneurs to make more of it, until the price goes down again. This is why prices are so important - higher prices lead to more supply, bringing prices down. Thus as demand for beef worldwide increases, producers will supply more of it to meet demand.
How else can we avoid austerity? The entire point is to prevent dollars from sitting idle. Also, are you really a one-percenter, or just cosplaying?
I'll second this. The only issue is that you don't get the wide variety of posts, but maybe that's GP's point. Lobste.rs is great for super technical posts.
>> I never developed the intuition for the relevant math

in my opinion, the best way to develop an intuition for the math is through manual calculation (by hand) and by implementing the algorithms/math in code, wax on wax off.

Since everyone making a living in those areas is reusing libraries now many people's knowledge is limited to things they have heard repeated, they don't necessarily have an underlying intuition about the math.
This, to me, is classic Warren: Brings up about a popular problem, and proposes an amateur solution, clearly demonstrating total lack of expertise in the affected field.
You're just switching one filter "is covered by the media" for another filter "has money to pay for ads".
The whole arrangement is about control, preventing workers from having the time or energy to build competing enterprises, develop skills beyond a certain level, or organize against their employers. It’s the same reason why most big corps oppose a national healthcare system in the US: it keeps people locked in to their current positions and has the knock-on effect of putting downward pressure on wages and turnover expenses.
this is like someone just flew you to the surface of Mars in an hour and your only comment is that the ride was bumpy. The demo above is mind blowing.

Maybe because you got used to it. There's a bunch of awful scaling issues with that screenshot. The taskbar is unusable, a bunch of icons in your music player are wrongly scaled, and there's a bunch of text layout brokenness.

I also suspect you've had to configure things quite a bit to reach this layout. I see for example your zoom-level is non-default in Chrome. I had to do the same when I was using X11 with a 3.8k screen. And it still sucks.

Wayland makes the scaling seamless and perfect for all native apps.
One might also argue a degree in Journalism or English is better than teaching yourself to write persuasive arguments by blogging
My 2 cents:

The CS degree ain't going to teach you how to code, you'll have do that yourself anyway.

What the CS degree will help you with is handling high complexity and/or harder problems. Which can be invaluable in anything except the most simple software.

So... ideally you'd get both :)
> CS majors spend their first few years unlearning all of the theoretical constructs they were taught in college

Do you have any examples of these theoretical constructs? I find most of the things I learned in my CS degree useful for commerical software development and can't think of anything I had to 'unlearn'.
Quite popular in the WISP market

Journalists and politicians of course. Journalists because that kind of stuff drives eyeballs which result in ad clicks and subscriptions if they have a paywall and thus money. Politicians because it grabs people's attentions which hopefully then results in them getting voted into office.

Focusing exclusively on how to be useful to corporations or governments will cost society too much. We have to also focus on how to be useful to effect change, exemplify upstanding moral and ethical behavior, question authorities, etc. How to be good friends, good parents, good civic participants. How to express sympathy, how to understand cultures and ways of life different from our own, and we need to start this learning process early in life!

If someone doesn’t start undertaking study of the humanities until “one has enough wealth and time to appreciate it” this would be a disastrous outcome for the future of hunanity, let alone also frankly something of a wasted life for people who pursue it in that order.

It is good to be a hard worker. It is also good to spend time on activities that help us achieve our own goals, instead of the goals of an organization.
