Busy restaurant next to an amusement park (Hersheypark). They couldn't keep anyone in the job. I didn't even want it because I was "bad at doing my taxes" and could make more as a busser making $5.50/hour plus cash tips. But they worked out a deal where I would bus tables and do just enough dishes to keep things moving, then when it died down I'd clock in as a dishwasher at the higher rate and close down.

Housing in town I guess was relatively expensive (not as much as now). And it wasn't under the table, though I was responsible for claiming tips and they didn't follow child labor laws. Built a studio with that money!

Many currently receiving benefits might gladly give them up in exchange for $1k/mo, cash in hand, with no risk of losing benefits due to higher income or filling out a form incorrectly.

But even if not, I think there's a case that giving everyone else UBI has ancillary benefits:

- More cash in the hand of your neighbors means more customers, which means more economic activity, which potentially means better employment prospects, in a virtuous cycle [0].

- Strain on existing benefit-granting institutions is greatly reduced, as those who opt for cash exit the system, meaning faster response times and more assistance with forms/approvals/etc.

- The working class tend to be more economically interdependent by necessity; someone who declines UBI still comes ahead from a spouse, relative, grown child, etc. who requires less economic support.

- Yang has spoken at length about the effects of economic anxiety; even someone who declines UBI may experience less anxiety (and therefore greater executive function and capacity for long-term planning), simply from knowing they have a "Plan B" for basic necessities.

In addition to offsetting costs, I think one of the motivations for the "either/or" strategy is political viability with libertarians and moderate Republicans, whose exaggerated fears of "socialism" can be assuaged by the opportunity to shrink bloated federal bureaucracies. (I'm somewhat sympathetic here: the most efficient charity is usually to write a check to the poor [1], and I suspect UBI or negative income tax has greater efficacy than most means-tested federal programs, with possibly the exception of health care.)

Then you were lucky.

Myself, and I suspect most people, I got grief from everyone.

Poor.

Middle Class.

Wealthy.

Those with accents.

Those without accents.

White.

Black.

Tall.

Short.

You name it. It's brutal if you have to work such jobs for a long time. (Like say, throughout high school and college.) A lot of people out there turn terrible as soon as they interact someone of lower status providing them a service. Even if you never make a mistake, you can't escape it. I remember a girl spilled a drink on the dress of some woman. Apparently the table was already bad, and it turned worse. Manager made me take the table. (Not proud about it, but I was the best doormat he had.) I don't even remember the rest of the night, but I remember that table. Remember every face. They didn't even look like bad people either. That's what was so surprising. Man, that has stayed with me.

So if you only got grief from a few people, then you should thank your lucky stars. You got off easy.
I suppose you mean in the tech job market? Sure, I think it would help and it would be easy for them to find jobs. Although an American or Brit would find the salaries here very low, and work hours (at least in most companies) too long. Many Spanish tech graduates do the reverse, migrating to the UK (or, to a lesser extent, the US) for better salaries and conditions. Although Brexit is making many of those who went to the UK return or migrate elsewhere.
In my experience Matomo is pretty bulky and hard to use. At the same time, Simple Analytics and Fathom are relatively expensive (but at a business standpoint, their pricing is good).

Looking at these as a developer, I'm building https://sdan.io/pingpong, which should be free up to 100k visitors monthly and am expecting to launch in January.

It's cheaper, faster (by a 3-4x margin), and simple.

$14 is too much.
NiCd memory effect is way overblown. It requires nearly identical cycles each time and has only ever been observed in high-capacity aerospace cells.

[edit]

Repeated overcharging can cause changing voltage curves that are (apparently) also referred to as memory effect, but NiMH cells are also prone to this.
Interesting, I haven't seen that in WebStorm, PhpStorm, DataGrip, CLion, IntelliJ or PyCharm. I'm on Windows 10. Hmmm. Need to look at latest updates and see if things changed. That would be wonderful. Thanks for the note.

I've been doing circuit design for a couple of months and haven't touched any of the tools. I'll let you know what I discover.
You must be really attached to your phone if that's how you're reading it.

Another solution would be to never bring your phone (or any other device) into your bedroom, for example, and only have sensitive conversations there.
Ah, that tells me I need to be logged into a Google account.

After logging into Google it seems to be working!
I honestly don't think this is that important, and I think means-testing or 'laziness'-testing is more effort than it's worth.

There will always be lazy people in society, and we have a lot of evidence that lazy people are a burden no matter how hard we try to make their lives. I'm happier giving people enough to get by unconditionally than having them steal or cheat enough to get by.

Trapping people in poverty means if they decided to not be lazy at some point, it's incredibly hard for them to get out of their situation and it's much more likely for them to fail. Furthermore, poverty only affects poor lazy people. Rich lazy people (those that got lucky or were born into wealth) can live on dividends their whole lives with no 'punishment'.

Lastly, attempts to distinguish lazy people from non-lazy people are easily corrupted by monied interests that don't want to pay as much into society. See the 'welfare queen' narrative that was popular under Reagan.
We hired a guy in your situation. (Worse, actually - he'd been out of coding for 10 years.)

We weren't sure if he could still do it. So we offered him a three-month contract at a low rate, with the understanding that, if he panned out, we would hire him at a normal salary. He panned out. So we hired him.

This approach meant that we didn't have to guess whether he could still do the work. He got to show us. And if he couldn't, well, we weren't out that much. And if he could, he wasn't out that much.
This is interesting. I noticed that the first compilation is sort of slow (takes a couple seconds). But each subsequent small change is almost instant. How is this done? I'd imagine each tex->ps should take at least a few seconds.

Yeah, the MIT license is small/short enough that it is probably best practice to just slap it onto the top of every file. A single file LICENSE is instructive, but shouldn't be the only place you put a license, or it is apt to be fiddled around with and/or make it unclear which parts of the source are under which license, should the project be incorporated into something downstream.
Do you have a reference? I’d be interested to read more about it.
Portugal is on the top score list.
For me and I presume many others this wouldn't work, we see very graphic images more often than we used to and I feel we are more desensitized to graphic images/videos.

Everyone knows that driving and looking at your phone is against the law and dangerous, but its a matter of "it won't happen to me" or "I've been doing it for years with no issue" that keeps people doing it.

I highly doubt VR will provide enough of a shock factor for people, it will more than likely make it feel like a video game where an accident is perfectly fine. Heck I play in gaming simulators with hyper realistic graphics and crashing doesn't phase me, the body is quite good at realising its not going to actually experience an accident.

Someone else here put it well "Everyone thinks they're above average, that bad things will never happen to them, that they're faster and have better reflexes than everyone else."

IMO we need to have penalties that are so harsh that they make drivers think twice (Immediate loss of license 3-6 months). The thought of potentially killing someone isn't a big enough incentive to not use your phone, because most of us have never experience it, so why would it happen to me?
I come from a broken home with one parent neglectful the other with mental illness(my mum is amazing but she had massive issues for over a decade which fortunately have improved), I worked minimum wage jobs for nearly a decade before I got myself out of that trap by something that was a solace and a hobby becoming a career.

I whole heartedly support people who organise to ensure a more equitable split for people like them, I got out the trap but for every me there is a dozen who didn’t, never will.

I was fortunate to be born in the U.K. and for the last 39 years at least have never had to worry about health insurance care, that’s just the final cherry on the shit sundae isn’t it.

She works full time hours but because it’s split over two jobs neither corp provides medical insurance, what an insane inhumane system.
> now can't comprehend how the generation before him got around.

The generation before him _didn’t_ get around, relatively speaking. Widespread use of the automobile changed transportation patterns dramatically.
Very interesting. But when an app requests location permissions, it's still the same message right?

There's no way of knowing whether the app will be using your exact location, or just the city you're in?
If anything, my intent was to guard against the oversimplified conclusions by adding some nuance. I concede the point that it's larger than just McKinsey. But it seems like people are extrapolating to make a point that the government is forced into picking between just a few favored firms. That point is central to the author's larger theme about the politics of monopolies. The issue I have is, while there seems to be some graft, it doesn't mean there is a monopoly. In the same vein:

> They're awarding the bid to an already-short list

This makes it sound like the GSA is forcing agencies to select from a small handful of contractors from a list catered to make the GSA the most money. I don't think it's actually true and it seems like it's inferred from the article without evidence. There are literally thousands of vendors just in the IT Services schedule mentioned in the article[1].

What seems more likely is what another commenter stated. Agencies select the excessively expensive McKinsey because they are essentially buying social capital.

Edit: there’s actually over 13k vendors listed under IT services [2]

Pretty much, yeah. While obviously not nearly as severe, I view this basically as war profiteering. Consumers are waged in battle against a broken industry and you're offering some help, but only for a cost.

I believe this is called faceted search.
Google already incorporates site speed into their rankings, separate from AMP.

However, if you want to get into Google's mobile carousel above the normal search results, you have to serve AMP pages and let Google cache them.
sqlcodegen is brilliant.

I used it to document a 1000-table db, and then added autogenerated docstrings for each table with # of rows/columns, list of the column names, and the contents of its first and last 5 rows.

This was invaluable in understanding a decade of legacy system development...
Love this. For those interested:

Happy (recent) Fathom customer. I use it on a handful of small side projects.

I hope there is space in the market for a product like this. I did a reasonable amount of research and the $14/month is worth it for the handful of side projects I use it on.

Their marketing can be a little earnest, but for me the product strikes the right balance between the info provided, privacy, and cost.
Who does corporate income benefit if not shareholders and employees?

The corporation can deduct the wages it pays employees, which is why they’re fully taxed at the individual earned-income level—this is the personal income tax. In theory, the corporate tax takes a cut of profits (i.e. what is due to the shareholders), so the capital gains tax is lower to make up for it. The problem is that the corporate tax is too easy to legally avoid for large sophisticated corporations, an almost impossible problem to solve within the international system. The solution is to just abolish it and tax capital gains at the same rate as earned-income.
Hello, just to let you know that it's now possible to extract portions of any auydio/video with postput! :)

It's more general than for learning a language. For a whole country, teaching quality is a virtuous circle, you can't simply put a lot of money and expect inmediate results, but need to iterate through generations. That's why I think importing a lot of native speakers was a good idea: you can step ahead iterations.

Whatever terminal-emulation app (e.g., Gnome Terminal) you are using will allow you to select text in the app's window, but nano or vim will never know about it. I.e., the user's mouse gestures are never transmitted to the program (e.g., nano) on the other side of the pseudo-TTY (PTY).

So for example, the user cannot use the mouse to move the insertion point in nano.
And they even link to it on the notes of the blog post.
Except that it's now giving a huge boost to websites that use a specific technology to be fast; instead of just boosting all fast websites like it used to. Sites can be fast even if they don't use AMP.
Would you apply the same rule to a software codebase? Perhaps if nobody can be bothered refactoring that code, it’s not needed anymore and should just be deleted?

Sunset provisions are a pain for anyone who administers the law or makes plans for the future based on it. Laws that depend on the current date are bad, and stable legal institutions are good. That’s why we incrementally “reform” the law, rather than periodically replacing it like some depreciating asset.

In fact, it’s an open question whether larger batch sizes are better. https://twitter.com/jeremyphoward/status/1189643170377658369...

Seconding all of your questions! Details about successful 1.5B training is really hard to come by.

In case it’s helpful, here are some details of how a Chinese 1.5b GPT-2 was trained: https://github.com/imcaspar/gpt2-ml

It looks like they used a batch size of 2 on a TPUv3-256 pod. It took 50 hours and 99,000 training steps, which seems like about 1.3 examples per second.
> Hard work leads to prosperity.

Sometimes it does. Other times, it's barely enough to achieve survival.

> Most prosperous people achieved prosperity due to earlier hard work and sacrifice of themselves (or their immediate ancestors.)

Or their distant ancestors. Or due to their -- or their ancestors' -- criminal activities or exploitative behavior or sheer luck.
First, let's check if you can open another domain on .dev TLD, like web.dev, if not then:

Seems like you have some mapping for .dev TLD.
Assuming based on your mention of Safari, that you are using Mac.

Could you check if you have some setting in your /etc/resolver for dev TLD, or if you are using some service like dnsmasq which is trying to resolve .dev to a non-existent location.

Anybody knows Cliqz's database stack? Curious to see what powers a large scale information retrieval index of this sort.
Not having (thread-level) parallelism encourages designs with small, well defined interfaces where data crosses threads. In a typical NodeJS server setup with one load balancer and a number of node processes that don't know about each other you will experience fewer concurrency bugs and care less about NUMA than in the equivalent ASP.NET app (requests scheduled onto a thread pool, code can share resources at will).

Of course sometimes "small interface" isn't really viable from a performance standpoint and you want a well-engineered multicore application with lots of shared data, and you just can't do that with JS or Python (or at least it's very hard). That's a good reason to choose a different language.
"Just the board" NUC kits also include the CPU, case, fan, power supply, wifi, bt, etc everything except RAM and storage.
Yes. I think this is a really good idea. When compared to Zapier, it will reduce lot of work for the end users - single sign on and pre-configured source or target, which will be my application.
Sure, they are more isolated. And in some ways they are more fragile. But my point is that they're not nearly as fragile as we believed. And more importantly a faulty premise--that they're extremely fragile--gave way to a faulty scientific conclusion--that gametes were impervious to common environmental stressors like the many infections that ravage our bodies.

We can't draw simple, categorical conclusions about gene editing, nor even germline editing in particular, because there are no simple, categorical distinctions. Suffice it to say, it's complex. Whenever we try to be reductivist about such things we end up drawing erroneous and even dangerous conclusions; e.g. gamete fragility -> viral imperviousness as solution to observed lack of harm -> underestimation of viral stressors and risks, and overestimation of gene editing risks.

Regarding stakes, what I had in mind was classic economic behavioral experiments where they show that a change in the magnitude of a bet changes choices in an irrational manner even though the expected payoff is exactly the same; even when you take into account marginal utility effects.

Yes, germline edits don't just effect one person, they theoretically could infect all of humanity. But so what? Remember when they were firing up the LHC and people were freaking out at the possible creation of blackholes. Given the error bars in known physics, there was a non-zero chance running the experiments could have destroyed the world.[1] Because nothing we could possibly learn would compensate for losing everything, does that mean we should never have turned it on? No. The calculus didn't change. That germline edits propagate doesn't mean our harm+benefit calculus changes; it's just that one of the risk factors in the equation changes from a 1 to something larger. Other factors, like confidence, may or may not need to be changed.

Regarding the argument that by intervening scientifically we're categorically more culpable than if we didn't do anything, that touches upon the is/ought and naturalistic fallacies. From a utilitarian perspective intervention vs non-intervention is irrelevant. I'm not a Utilitarian (capital U), but I don't see how we can have a constructive, scientific debate outside a utilitarian framework. Such lines of reasoning are more relevant to political and religious contexts.

[1] Well, maybe. Actually, perhaps many physicists would have said that the consensus science would have put the chance at 0. But the best argument was made by people pointing out that the Earth's atmosphere was constantly bombarded by particles far more energetic than what the LHC would create. Which is exactly analogous to germline editing. The fact is, the germline undergoes far more genetic stressors than we once believed. It must follow that it's more resilient than we believed, genetically, developmentally, and from an evolutionary perspective.
[Disclaimer, I work at Cliqz] I cannot answer for the "true" motivation of the investors, but their pitch and actions so far are well align with the fight against monopolies narrative. Do they want to get return on investment (eventually)? I would assume so, and I believe it would be fair. I do not see them as mutually exclusive. Of course, this is my personal opinion.
I can't either. As someone who just wants simple, private, and cheap analytics, I wanted a product that could do so (all current products are pretty expensive).

I bicycled to work for several years. Mostly cars full of shit-head teenagers that do that.

The really strange one was 5 AM on a 4 lane street, no other cars around, and a single car comes up behind me and starts honking, about hitting my rear tire.
It certainly helps when there is a small number of suppliers, one giant manufacturing center, and one nearby consumer. Removing all of the supply chain middlemen in search of buyers, repeatedly producing the same manufacturing machinery, and reducing shipping costs are each chipping away part of the cost.
