How the hell did this get published in Genome Biology? Is it a scam journal or something?

This isn't biology. It's economics - amateur economics. There's a whole field on the public economics of social security systems. The amazing insight this guy is touting has been common knowledge for, oh, twenty years. You don't even need to be an academic. Just read The Economist once in a while.

Sheesh.
I can recommend taking a look at Oat++

But, Plato wrote. Plato wrote about Socrates.
Index funds and bonds are there for stability. If I'm going to pick an individual stock it's because I think I understand something other people in the market don't.
Yes - I do. ;) However, it may be because it is my passion and work.
> To head off the main critique. I think either tax could be equally gamed by the rich.

That is not the main critique. The main critique (IMO at least) is that people earn money to, among other things, give it to their children. Taxing that is, in some people's view of the world, a) a disincentive to work and b) morally wrong.
Nonsense. Inequality is best addressed by ensuring resources are spread equally so that chance is distributed equally. If you don't do that then you're simply locking in and further accelerating any advantage already there. That's a positive feedback loop which will eventually lead to vast inequality that no amount of free healthcare, education and money are going to solve.
I'm in my late 20s as well and the replies so far are disgusting me.

I think we should expect that the previous generation won't help us to build the world we would like to see, and we should use all the tools and knowledge we have to change the world, even if it's against the will, interests and "happiness" of the previous generation.

We must organize ourselves, vote, protest, communicate and build towards what we would like to see happening.
There’s a ton of legal reasons why they might be specifically concerned about exporting there and Apple isn’t.

* Maybe there’s an export restriction on a component and they lack the license to export to that country.

* Maybe they have not submitted their product for regulatory testing in that region.

* Maybe the product doesn’t operate within legally available spectrum in that country.

* Maybe the product presents an IP rights concern in the laws of that country.

* Maybe they simply haven’t paid a lawyer licensed to practice law in that region to confirm they wouldn’t have any legal concerns.

I don't want to go into much detail, but I work for a major company in this space and nost companies in the industry can track you with reasonable success even if you are logged out over multiple devices. Your (approximate) location, browsing habits and patterns are good enough data to predict what kind of stuff you buy.

If you want to not be tracked, turn off JavaScript for a start.
I have a CS degree and my university also provided a SE degree. The first years, we all studied together. Only in the final year did we study courses that deviated (some were still shared). The final year was about focusing on either the science or the engineering disciples. I felt like it worked really well. The SE's left with a really good knowledge of computational science, while also learning how to engineer solutions. The CS students got some experience in engineering, without it being the main focus.
The conversation is about what's fair incentive structure, correcting it does not amount to its destruction.

Also we do not require people to pull startup hours, and only a minority of the population ever does that. I dont see how that comes into this conversation.
It also doesn't take into account the habituation process that all humans are subjected to. Employees might work harder when the 4 days workweek is introduced. And might return back to a lower normal once they get used to it. And if that happens, how can you convince people that they should be working 5 days a week again?
Vulkan is already a very good solution for cross-platform graphics. It's possible to target Windows, Linux and Mac using Vulkan.

WebGPU is interesting, but I doubt that it will ever be able to compete with native graphics API's on pure performance because of the security considerations it has to take into account. I'm glad we will have a more capable alternative to WebGL, but it would be a shame if computer graphics were limited by the limitations of web.
> But the thing is: This is not a wealth problem.

Citation needed.

Productivity has been rising decade after decade - the younger generation produces more than enough to sustain even a larger older generation. Much of that wealth production is re-routed to those at the top of the wealth pyramid. Moving even some of that back downwards would do a lot to resolve these problems.
There is a possible way out, in that wealth is not a fixed resource.

A ponzi scheme treats it as if it is at best that, in that it does nothing to grow it. Economies can grow it, however, as shown by the history of the last six centuries, in which global wealth grew even on a per-capita basis, dispite all the dumb things we did during that time to destroy it.

What we need to do is to give people more wealth-generating and wealth-preserving work to do (which includes educating them to their full potential at sociey's cost.) There's plenty of scope for that just in ameliorating and preparing for the coming climate crisis.

The biggest obstacles to this (and they are very big) are the difficulty of doing this without having projects subverted to enrich a tiny minority, and the unwillingness of those with some wealth to support such projects on the grounds that they will take away what little they have.
I have the sake experience of you. I started working when I was 19 and started at 21(at night) a computer science. I left the course at the 4th year because I felt that I wasn't learning anything.

>We have a large remote workforce so I assume quite a few of those remote workers don’t work at all on Fridays.

Funny that this is the assumption. I think they would be more likely to work since they are not bothering with the daily commute to work.
I guess the fact that you can just call it a “death tax” can easily rally popular opposition even if people would otherwise support it.

It’s my theory that the less words you can use to make an argument, the more powerful it is.
This should be mentioned here, too

Why do people define CS as coding? Computer Science is much more than just coding, it’s a science. At a higher level CS involves a lot of mathematics and statistics. Coding is just a tool for a computer scientist as a hammer is a tool for a builder. Learning to use a hammer is not the same as learning to build a house.
Entirely anecdotal, but my personal experience confirms this. I switched to 4-day weeks nearly four years ago and it feels very beneficial. Claiming I get the same amount of work done in less time would be an overstatement, but I'm definitely more productive in the four days when I'm working. Can't remember the last time I suffered any work-related stress and my motivations for taking time off are almost purely external now (spending time with friends and family), never the feeling of needing a break.
That may be because mosquito predators have been hit very hard by pesticides whereas the mosquitos have developed resistance.

A dragonfly eating mosquitos ends up with a higher concentration of a pesticide because it eats a lot of other insects that may have been exposed to a pesticide. The other problem for the dragonfly is that it has a longer lifecycle and produces less offspring per generation than a mosquito. So it has far less ability to achieve pesticide resistance than the mosquito does.

I suppose I thought of 64bit as now being small. 48 would be doable.
They mainly redistribute wealth from those with low life expectancy to those with high life expectancy.

It's been calculated that for certain groups with particularly low life expectancies (for instance, African American men), social security is actually a net loss for them, as they pay in more to the system than they take out, on average.
Intel spreads their R&D revenue across many more product categories than AMD does. In addition to CPUs, they've got their new GPU, their SSDs, their entirely new form of NVRAM, wireless networking, and many other projects. And they run their own fab, which is a huge investment that AMD doesn't have to make.

AMD just makes their CPUs and GPUs. Also, Intel's CPU designs tend to be much more custom than AMDs, trading more engineering effort for a bit more performance.
> and some things like dragging are infact easier as there are physical mouse buttons

Did you ever try the 3-finger drag on a Mac? I find it hard to imagine any button being easier than that.

It’s a shame Apple hides it in Accessibility. That gesture is wonderful.
I think the point was that's the answer given by extrapolation, and its obvoiusly physically impossible. The contradiction with laws of physics is the point.

For starters, anything that large wo ui pd collapse into a black hole.
Are people not aware how large wealth inequality is at this point? A small marginal wealth tax would generate just absolutely massive amounts of revenue because that is where most money is locked up, not in people's salaried income.
I really can't understand how any logical person would think lidar is better here. You are driving with the sight of your eyes correct? then the AI would do the same but better.
I included in the table only formats that are at least supported natively in one modern browser. That's why the WARC format is missing. I'm not against adding it in the table though.
This is true for their GPUs but is a non issue for their CPUs.
Any chance you can return it under warranty? You could claim the product is now defective as it’s spying on you.

If anything, it’ll waste their time a little bit and if enough people do this they’ll reconsider this decision.
Thanks, seems like a good tip. Will definitely read it!
Pytorch > TensorFlow
> While it's a great technology, the result sounds somewhat robotic.

That's like complaining about how bad the pig plays the violin. This is absolutely incredible. The complexity level for this problem is right off the scale and the software does a passable job of it. Given some time and more training data and a few more people working on it this has serious potential.
FWIW, I use Apple’s trackpad exclusively in office or on the road. The gestures and tap to click are irreplaceable for me.

That assumes each person produces only enough for a small, fixed number of people to prosper.

And, um...I don't wish to worry you, but efficiency has improved a whole hell of a lot more than 300% over the last 40 years or so.

The problem is that the gains have gone almost entirely to the people at the very top of the pyramid.

In the worst case scenario weather patterns will shift enough that large scale agriculture will fail in parts of the world that are currently productive.

Heat waves, floods, and drought can and will destroy entire crops. Furthermore, sea level rise and stronger storms will destroy ports and transportation infrastructure, making it harder and more expensive to transport crops.

“ What does this mean for developers? The main thing is that there's no longer any advantage to trying to use the same URLs as other sites. You won't get performance benefits from using a canonical URL over hosting on your own site (unless they're on a CDN and you're not) and you have no reason to use the same version as everyone else (but staying current is still a good idea).”
Add in the other variable that the workforce is increasingly being automated out. Fewer people actually looking for a job (total non working adults). One “hope” is that maybe we get something like the autodoc from that movie “Passenger”?

Most likely because they are not yet sure whether or not it was a fluke and/or whether or not it would have unforeseen long term impacts and/or they identified other issues they need to address. E.g. the article pointed out that a lot of the increase seemed to be down to fewer meetings. Which presumably raises the question of 1) whether that's sustainable (were those meetings really meetings that could just be cut?) and 2) if it is sustainable, maybe they think they can achieve a bigger productivity increase by slashing meetings and not cutting working hours.

It also seems like one of those things that are near impossible to reverse if you make them the norm and things goes sideways, so I can understand they want to be cautious.

I personally have been working 4 days a week or less for more than a decade already. Loving it. Does it improve my productivity? Why the heck should I care! It improves my life.
some might say that caring for others and being cared for (emotionally, not physically or financially) is the primary measure of quality of life.

> Also Vulkan keeps collecting extensions, slowly it won't be any different from OpenGL with multiple code paths for OEM, graphics card model, depending on which features one is trying to take advantage of.

API-level fragmentation is an inevitability as long as GPU vendors ship hardware with different feature sets. It might be harder for graphics programmers, but I suspect consumers don't want to live in a world where graphics advance at the pace of the lowest-common-denomenator hardware. Still Vulkan takes a much more sensible approach to extensions than OpenGL, and it's far and away easier to avoid unpredictable results on Vulkan than OpenGL.

I think long-term it would make sense for Godot to support Metal, but if they are supporting Vulkan anyway, it would seem almost silly not to support Apple platforms almost for free using MoltenVK in the short term.

How do you implement such amazing perk for customer support team in a bootstrap startup where cash and people is a limited resource, but your customers need support at least during the office hours? I guess I should not dream about it now , as such experiments work only for companies with a lot of money or departments which do not need their work to be done in a specific time during a day?
I disagree with this article in so many ways. I have a CS degree and I work with many people who don’t, and they are just as good as (or even better than) me at all the points raised by the article.

They meet deadlines, they are incredibly good at communication and collaboration and they have pretty good networking. Most of these traits come from the fact that they needed to develop them in order to succeed in learning by themselves.

It is a pretty limited view of the world to think that only college can bring you this. Immersing yourself in a coding bootcamp for some people means leaving the jobs they need to survive in order to have a better job in the future. I can’t imagine how being on college can teach more about meeting deadlines, teamwork, communication and perseverance than that.

I wish this article provided more facts to back its beliefs up.

Wealth is how much money you have to spend, not what your theoretical paper worth is. The government can’t buy medicine or fix roads with theoretical paper worth, and until you can buy food with stocks / shares / yachts / art, it shouldn’t be treated as if it is taxable currency.

Taxing the flow of money is the only moral way a government can bring in revenue and the only way to increase that revenue is to raise taxes. Higher income tax and higher capital gains tax means the more you benefit from sharing this society with everyone else, the more responsibility you take for funding it through taxation.

> The millennials now complaining about inequality, will become conservatives as they age and acquire wealth.

Wealth acquisition among millenials is not tracking the rate of boomers in the 60s.

The trend today has been towards increased consolidation of large companies and an associated decrease in economic mobility, decrease in wealth share of those not in the top echelons, the repeal of common-sense regulatory frameworks like Glass–Steagall.

It seems short-sighted to say that all generations are bound to follow the same path as the boomers, when economic conditions today are radically different from those in the 60s.

The more fluff a person in a leadership position is operating with in place of actual productive ability, the more they will need to surround themselves with associates who are willing to accept this type of substitution. Some types of human nature accept this more readily than others so it can easily be allowed to grow out of hand, but almost everyone else notices once the crap level approaches complete fullness.

All leaders have gaps that need to be compensated for or filled in by associates both upstream and downstream, but especially subordinates, and this is usually accomplished by shrewd manipulation of resources, which can be either good or evil.

If a person in a leadership position can not grow the resources when that is the primary objective, either from investors or customers, that can be a sign that the talent of the so-called leader is more talk than action, sometimes even fantasy versus reality.

Sometimes that type of talent works better on investors than customers, sometimes not either one. Both are usually served by action even better than talk, and look how far talk can get you.

If this guy was working for Thos. Edison or for Elizabeth Holmes at an early time, their companies might have had faster growth than they did, with Edison's shareholders reaching institutional status earlier & bigger in the long run, and Theranos reaching it's final conclusion sooner as well.

If Edison or Holmes were working for this guy it wouldn't have made much difference if they had been below-average Joes & Janes instead.
