This is something I've felt quite viscerally since graduating college, that my educational days are over. They're all I've ever known and it's quite bizarre to suddenly be in a whole different phase of life.

I've come to think of this as starkly beautifully in its own way -- you can never re-create the feeling of a specific time and place, and that's what makes it special and wonderful in its own right. Take each day as it comes.

As a first approximation, running from any startup that is backed by the Saudi sovereign-wealth fund (and Softbank Vision fund which is mostly just another name for the Saudi money) is likely a good investment strategy.

Basically, any company that has great prospects is going to be able to get money from other funds with a lot less baggage. In addition, founders who take that money likely have ethical issues and will happily screw the investors (see WeWork CEO).
The proposals i've seen are nonlinear. Each person gets, say, one flight a year with no Frequent Flyer Tax. Your second flight is taxed at 100 dollars. Your third, 200 dollars, Your fourth, 300 dollars, etc.

The trick is to pitch it so that you don't have much impact on the 85% of the population who do 30% of the flying, but you strongly discourage the 15% of the population who do 70% of the flying [1]. Partly as a practical measure to ensure it's not so unpopular it gets repealed, but partly because those 15% are probably capable of making changes to their lifestyle or way of working that will drastically cut flights, whereas the other 85% are flying where they have to, to see their family at christmas or whatever, or for their one summer holiday.

You couldn't do that by taxing fuel, or aeroplanes, or anything other than individual people flying.

One thing an adolescence of reading dystopian sci fi didn't prepare me for is the seemingly sheer incompetence of Western governments in the real world compared to the ones of Orwell and Huxley. If we needed to be further bred for complacency it would have to compete with bread and circuses for cost effectiveness.
I genuinely do not think that I'll ever be worth a billion dollars in my life, and yet I still come to work every day. I also try and build cool new projects for fun.

Maybe I'm am outlier, but I doubt it; I think most people understand that the billionaire thing is a pipe-dream, and they work every day to pay their bills and if you're lucky to also work on stuff you're interested in. How exactly would that be affected by lowering the wealth-hoarding you're allowed to do?
McDonald's isn't running an ad agency alongside its main business. Ads are not a product that they sell to the public. Facebook sells ads to the public, but not to their competitors. This is almost certainly illegal under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890
I can see digital imitations coming in 3,2,1... Starting by reversing and modifying the official app. The QR might not verify (assuming network connectivity), or it might be someone else, but will it be checked? Doubtful, because it only returns a name, not a photo.

It is disappointing this is an online-only system. There is a continuation of a number of privacy violating practices, such as giving your DOB and driver's licence number to bars/clubs/venue security (often run by criminals, esp OLMCs). It should only show 18+ and a photo.

NSW Govt will now know exactly who goes to which venue, in real time. Insane surveillance of the citizenry.

Can't wait to see what data is in the real QR codes. Almost sounds like a TOTP code and a user/device serial number. Malware that rips these TOTP codes will be made and available to criminals in short order.

Yes - real cost (cost in hours worked) of necessities, and even former luxuries, has declined dramatically, and standard of living for the poor has increased dramatically. That's the point.

If you go to Mexico, you'll see people living in much hotter conditions without air conditioning (but they still have satellite TV).

Cable TV and air conditioning show the shifting standard of living that represents "poor" in the united states, and illustrate that a large percentage of "poor" definitely have the necessities (shelter in particular), as opposed to the "absolute poverty" who lack basic necessities of food/shelter/access to health care.

Quality of life is a different question, and very difficult to measure.

Mind boggling until you read about the ongoing history of voter suppression in the US.
Sort of, it depends if they ask for extra permissions at some point in the future and there is not alternative option. I saw an Android screenshot showing requests for an insane amount of access - it may have been faked though.

If the answer is as simple as spend more then we wouldn't have any problems since we already spend more (than we have) every year. Pour more billions into a black hole does nothing.

I learned a lot from this article and hope to revisit it.

I had one quarrel:

> Consider: what is a parser? Really, a parser is just a function that consumes less-structured input and produces more-structured output. By its very nature, a parser is a partial function—some values in the domain do not correspond to any value in the range—so all parsers must have some notion of failure.

I think it's reasonable to include some total functions as parsers as well, because some grammars -- structures that are recognized by the parser and that specify languages -- generate all strings as the corresponding language. In that case, there are no failure cases because every string is a valid input.

I came up with some more-trivial examples, but I think a less-trivial example is the split() function in many languages. Its Haskell type signature is String -> [String], and it is a total function. It handles the case where the input is a nonempty string with no delimiters (the output is a list containing a single token equal to the input), as well as the case where input is an empty string (the output is an empty list), and the case where the input consists only of delimiters (in many implementations, the output is a list containing n+1 empty strings).

Another trivial-ish case is where the grammar allows an arbitrary trailing string following the object of interest (similar to C's atoi). In that case, a parser will always return the empty object if there is no interesting or relevant data in the input. (For example, atoi returns 0 if the input string doesn't begin with an integer.) This could be viewed as a kind of error, but there may be applications in which this behavior is useful.
In Rust, everything is in ‘user space’ since nothing is managed by the language itself, you have full control on how the Futures are executed. Even the executor (the “event loop” in js parlance) is a third party library. You can't get more control in js than what Rust gives you.
Australia does not require voter id, has compulsory voting, paper ballots, postal voting, weekend voting, very low levels of voter fraud.. and right wing parties still win elections.

The republicans shouldn't be so worried.
fn vs. function is probably the least of your concerns when reading and writing rust. Lifetimes, generic parameters, and complex where clauses are what will throw you.

But if you spend enough time with the language it gets easy enough for these to not be a concern. I personally think it's very much worth learning.
It's way too easy to overspend on a car (almost any new car), that's definately true.

But, I think he meant in terms of car capabilities: features and amenities. They all have decent acceleration, AC, heating, windshield wipers, electric windows, defrosters and hundreds of other features, even on some of the cheapest cars (new cars). car capabilities are far greater than most people will ever use.
Well then I doubt it would be this apocalyptic thing of people trying to be worth $49,999,999.99, since being worth $50,000,001.00 would only give them an increased tax of $0.02.

I think most people would still be willing to keep working on stuff, and I don't see why VCs would stop investing in high-value companies altogether.

I'm pretty sure that there are certain airlines that are nearly unprofitable from their actual airline operations, but only eke a decent profit due to their airline miles programs (specifically their credit card rewards programs). So it seems like you are suggesting that we should remove a huge profit center from airlines.
Perhaps they should be the ones who get to decide. In many safety-critical fields they do. That's the point of requiring an engineer's stamp of approval on a design.
It is women’s soccer that is second only to mens football for concussion rate - see this article: https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/10/15/health/concussion-high-scho...

Having played men’s lacrosse and coached both boys and girls, my observation is that concussion-risk events in girls lacrosse are extremely rare, and not affected by helmets. The head trauma in the mens game is usually from intentional body contact and collisions, which are not allowed in the womens game. The occasional stick to the head happens but those are not (usually) violent enough to be a concussion risk. I would expect concussion rates in womens lacrosse to be similar but lower than a sport like basketball) and uncorrelated with the rate in mens lacrosse which is a much different game
Either one is fine. $35k post tax is super comfy and easy to do, while $35k pre-tax is a little trickier, and would be 15-20% tax rate depending on your state. Monthly budget of $1100 rent and utils, $300 food, $150 car, $60 entertainment, $300 misc, plus $150 for (bad) health insurance. That's $25k/year. Not exactly a comfortable lifestyle but a few hundred dollars extra in a few categories wouldn't dig into $5M much.
From my experience 7+ years ago, I saw an order of magnitude difference running Postgres on higher end bare metal hardware (think $6k rack mounted server w/ nice RAID controller) vs a supposed high end AWS VM w/ an EBS volume. That was testing with spinny disks before SSDs were the norm, but if you are on a cloud VM, it's probably worth investigating.
Do we even need a wealth tax?

Whatever you have you have already paid taxes on - why does the government need to take more?
Universal Sans – design your sans-serif font family
One of the biggest issue is that the traits and the genetic selection will be passed down to future generations and that is a permanent advantage for that individual and his/her offsprings.

When we compare to Pre-K programs and other current enhancement that can be bought with money, they are no guarantee that the enhancement will go to the next generations, unless the family can keep paying for those things in the future. So the issue is the starting point of the human life.

Today, we still can believe that all human are born "equal"; but the moment a whole set of human beings are enhanced on a genetic level, a lot of our moral values will be changed forever.

No longer we can say that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." if that happens, it will upend things like the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" and many other concepts that today's society relies on to organize itself. Imagine to live in a society where you are genetically "inferior" and there is no way you can "change" or upgrade who you are.

You are not understanding the way free university works.

Your acceptance depends very very significantly on your performance in high school - there are strict cutoffs based on how you did on your abitur, which in turn relates to a series of high stakes exams and earlier tracking in high school (europe has tracking already in high school where entire high schools are different track).

It's not get a high school diploma and go to university for free. To be a vet, a doctor, a lawyer etc - you basically need to track into these positions VERY early. The good news, they limit the number of graduates through these screenings so the jobs on the other end tend to pay pretty well.

A lot of the posters are claiming you get to go to top universities for free to study subjects that lead to good paying jobs without even taking standardized exams etc. This is totally false.

It's actually much easier for joe blow to become a lawyer in the US then in Europe - including going to law school - including the non ABA schools EVEN if they didn't do well in high school. It does cost money though and for many the jobs don't pay what they would expect or hope for.

Seriously, I wish people would name the top universities without cutoffs - they don't exist.

To get real language understanding you need some type of grounding in visual data or something. You can't just feed it text alone.

The whole thing about Open AI and "danger" is that somehow suppressing certain research was part of its constitution. So they were looking for a way to prove that they were faithful to that and this thing is just the closest thing they have.
Who has no choice but to fly three or more times a year? Do they really have no choice?

I am reminded of an acquaintance of mine who once told me he had no choice but to drive, because he lived in a little village with one bus a day, but commuted into London. What he had overlooked is that he'd chosen to live in this village.
I would love to see the numbers for this.

A significant part of the volume in a ballistic rocket is oxidizer which a jet does not need to carry. Liquid methane is much less dense than jet fuel, so it makes sense it would take up much more volume. Also, methane has less carbon in it than jet fuel on a per energy basis.

Still suspect you are right.

It's much much better than everyone adapting material design (ugh) or the default bootstrap theme.
"When people are inhibited from meeting their basic needs legally by structural impediments to their progress like severe inequality, they sometimes try to meet their needs via methods that are destructive to society, like crime, whether petty or violent. That behavior is usually damaging to people, property, or the fabric of society."

We should note that there is such things as free shelter and food for homeless and anything above that is "wants" rather than "needs". Taking care of equal opportunity is fair, but doing anything else to accomodate individuals otherwise inclined to crime is not fair at all.

"This is a reason why such crime is strongly correlated with areas of endemic poverty."

I agree with the correlation, but I go further to say that poverty just accomodates crime (i.e. troublesome individuals having it easier in those areas for encountering less action towards prevention and countering deliquent behavior), and thus is at most an indirect factor to crime, not a direct one.
This is after all, and always will be, a symptom of our sick society. In a competitive environment the traits that are socially desirable will be sought after. Currently these are, among others, being attractive, tall, male, white and so on.
I've had multiple calls where the interviewer obviously didn't look at my resume beforehand and rejected me for not having enough years of work history or previous experience of a specific technology. Both are fair reasons but it's insulting and representative of how little they respect engineers' time.
Nice article! I used to work in this space (was formerly in charge of GNSS hardware at my company), and it's neat to see Galileo being put through its paces.

I see now that the US gets to take GPS (and the fact that the Air Force pretty much runs it single-handedly) for granted. We are seeing _some_ problems (like the GPS III block upgrade and OCX, ahah), but the org chart seems to be considerably simpler than what Galileo's got to deal with.
Are there changes to the web that you think would lift that burden, or make design systems less necessary?

Two major drivers come to mind in terms of DS adoption:

1) Giving teams a common toolkit of resources so that they can design consistent experiences without having to independently implement and maintain the same components.

2) It's really trendy. It's the designer equivalent of moving to serverless, or nosql years ago, etc etc. Small teams do it because it's cool and fun despite not necessarily feeling the enterprise-scale pains that originated some of the practices.

(I would not put flexport in that category. They've got an extremely data-intensive software, and a good component lib helps a lot there)
Phoronix tests compiling the upstream default config which is pretty barebones. A normal kernel build for a desktop machine will take much longer because there are more modules enabled.
yes, the masses just want signalling, that's why individual car models are not given their own model names. car manufacturers are just emphasizing their brands.

But the true enthusiasts don't care much for signalling or Brands but prefer the visual styling and the capabilities of the car.
The UK has a monarch. That means it's a monarchy without any extra steps and thus not a republic. I didn't call the UK republic, I pointed out that having representatives does not require a republic.

The House of Lords can only delay laws AFAIK and the monarch just can't decide anything. Even if they did, the House of Commons would still exist.
In an ideal world, they should have more of a say than 'take it or leave it'. And in fact, for most of human history, people who produced things did have more say than that.

I was also talking about democratic governance among the worker-owners: this is how cooperatives work in general. The strict top-to-bottom autocracy of regular corporations is not the only possible system of governance for a successful market actor.

As for food, it's not so much capitalism as enormous state subsidies that affect the price of food in America. And living on 2-3$ worth of food a day will not lead you to a long life. Also, how is someone refusing you the right to take food when you are starving not actively taking your life from you?
Wealth is just a static number. It goes up through income. You're talking about a double taxation for maintaining what you have which was already taxed on the way in.

There are different kinds of incomes like capital gains which is a different discussion and one that many people agree with raising.

You'll lose most tax income. Every entrepreneur will leave. And the middle class (which builds up more than that over a lifetime) will be decimated. It's a great way to crash a nation.
