> All the money of the richest people in the U.S. could provide the poorest with a good income for a year or two, but then it's gone

That's actually not true.

Think about where all that money goes when people spend it.

And then the people who receive it spend it again. Etc.

Round in a circle, basically, so they will continue to have a good income for much longer than the back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests.

Perhaps in perpetuity if the redistribution continues; then it would be a system change rather than a one-off event.

That said, I completely agree with you about investment, especially in things like housing, and other forms of investment and wealth generation.

> I believe economic growth is how you erase poverty

If you believe in the idea that "what you measure is what you create", then it depends on how economic growth is measured.

Measures that look at growing the average wealth or economic activity of people in a population largely ignore poverty. Even with a lot of desparately poor people, because of the power law distribution of wealth, the poorest people contribute less to the average than their numbers would suggest.

For that sort of reason, I prefer the idea that a society is judged by how it treats its poorest people first.

(And by people I don't mean citizens, because non-citizen residents are real people too.)
1) the S&P500 is a measure of expected future growth for a very small percentage of companies out there. The S&P500 has been going up like crazy for years, and the S&P500 started off down quite a bit in early 2019 after taking a 7% loss in 2018. The two year average return is only ~12%pa and the five year average return was about 10%pa.

2) the largest companies in the S&P 500 represent a tiny slice of US GDP. 21% of the S&P 500 are IT companies, as are 4 of the top 5 companies. However, IT represents only 6% of the total US private industry GDP. Thus, the S&P500 does not represent the economy at large. It's the economic equivalent of an opinion poll containing only redheads.

3) Money paid in taxes by such firms in taxes also benefits your parents and everyone else, just in different ways.
My portfolio manager told me in Dec 2018 that our 2019 strategy would depend on if companies invested their tax returns for growth or handed them out to shareholders and execs. He followed the latter path.

TL;DR: My portfolio manager adjusted my strategy because tax plan was a giveaway for the rich

EDIT: So many downvotes. Truth is truth, man. Truth is truth.
> 2. "Running out of randomness" is nonsensical. If you couldn't guess the exact pool before, you can't suddenly start guessing the pool after pulling out 200 exabytes of randomness either.

Not entirely.

/dev/random and arc4random(4) under OpenBSD originally used the output of RC4, which has a finite state size:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4

Rekeying / mixing up the state semi-regularly would reset things. It's the occasional shuffling that really helps with forward security, especially if a system has been compromised at the kernel level.
If you don't follow the sports schedule, then you will inevitably find yourself near some stadium at a time when sports are about to happen, or have just happened.

This is a mistake that you will only make once. It sometimes takes upwards of 2 hours to drive 5 miles. Since I don't want to have to follow sports to know if it's safe to drive that route, I just never drive that route. There are good things near there, but I will never plan to do them because I don't want to have to check the arena activity to determine how good my experience will be.
Yes: for specific examples of this confidence see JP Aumasson’s paper https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1492 “Too much crypto”
You're description of the history is 100% correct. Legally, who knows, but you've got what actually happened 100% correct.

There are no good guys in this situation. The cynicism on both sides is astounding. One company outright stole work and negotiated in bad faith, and another tried to take advantage of that in the courts, which threatens to set a horrible precedent about APIs if they win.

Everything about this stinks.
He paid 2 146$ to go from Hamburg to Vancouver in 3 weeks. It would be 1 000$ more if he want his train ride from Toronto to Vancouver to have a bed to sleep during the 4 days it would takes. For 600$ he could do the same in 15 hours and then spend 1 500$ in carbon offset (2 500$ if we consider the bed).

Is it me or his solution is so much worse in every aspect? With mine it's quick, "comfortable" and carbon negative.

Cool, but it can't run the compiler, right? I think that's what GP meant.

Generally seems like a good idea, minus the part about it being state owned and operated. If it's operated by the state, it will probably be a disaster. Many governments can barely keep their Windows machines up to date, leading to ransomware attacks. It would be a shame if people's money were held hostage for ransom.
Before calling millions of highly educated people who work in the stock market delusional, might it be worth considering what exactly a 50% increase in the stock market represents, which is a 50% increase in perceived future value of the market?

As an example, 3 years ago Starlink was little more than an FCC filing. Now it is poised to create a brand new market conceivably worth as much as Apple.
I don't think it's as big of a problem as most people think.
Yes, it's fueling a bit of radicalization, which isn't great.

What is the output of this radicalization? Just how big of a problem is it compared to what people are making out it? We know someone opened fire a pizza place as a direct result of this. Do you think the rise in hate crime (especially violent crime) is in some way related, too? Perps have left behind manifestos, like at El Paso, Christchurch, etc., with the same language as disinfo campaigns.

People are focused on this because it's the reason that people are being murdered because of their religion or where they were born.
From a UI perspective, I see no need to change anything from that screenshot. Glad he doesn't feel the need to fiddle with it.
Arduino is a much simpler device. Pi is a full linux computer, as opposed to Arduino which is a microcontroller.
When you decide to define new variables you have already decided to write more than just an expression (which by definition can’t contain a statement), so “you can’t do that for...” is a moot point. And since it’s not an expression, it’s not gonna appear as its own argument, unless you’re using more advanced substituting a whole block trick which is not what the do while(0) idiom is for.
DevTools member here. We have been working on performance over the past release – is there anything specific that you can point out as being slower for us to focus on?
>it's well outside their core competency so ... why?

That's the crux of my question. Tesla is a car company. It's a no-brainer to buy a car from them. Making cars is what they do, and their entire existence depends on making good cars. Apple/Sony/Google are not car companies. Making cars is not what they do, and their existence does not depend on making good cars.

If everyone waited a couple of years for them to work the kinks out, they would stop making cars because no one was buying them. Someone has to buy first, right? But why?
Arudino isn't great as a platform for industrial work anyways - most industrial applications will spin their own boards or run higher end PLCs that have more rugged designs and protections built in for industrial environments.

Arudino however is great as an experimentation platform, where having access to things like a Python or JS REPL can make experimentation a pleasure, being able to rapidly update and prototype is much easier when you don't have to reflash and reboot every time.

I recently bought a door access control pad, plugged it into an ESP32 and messed with it using MicroPython to better understand how it'd produce outputs. The datasheet it came with was lacking to say the least, but this was a big savior.
It isn't a strawman - it is in fact one outcome from the requirements for a union to work: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2016/07/16/public-transit... Workers who feel like they are not better than each other are much more willing to organize, and they are also more likely to support seniority pay systems.

Note that this isn't a hard requirement. Some unions do not have it, but it is a strike against the whole concept. Maybe the union and work anyway, some do. It does however make it much harder for the union to get started and remain started.
> work is ongoing to make [implicit arena allocations] a reality.

Ooh, interesting; I hadn't heard about that but it makes a lot of sense. Do you happen to have an RFC or issue link? My google-fu is failing me.
Hmm, works on my side. What’s the error you’re seeing?
IPFS documentation has a new beta site
The most fundamental difference between RPC and REST/GraphQL is that RPC is schemaless whereas a RESTful or GraphQL API has a schema.

The whole point of a schema is to have a generic API. Whereas with RPC and any other schemaless approach such as SOAP, you are essentially building a custom API that is only usable for your clients.

That's precisely the reason why RPC is not usable to create an API that is meant to be used by third party devS.

Third party devS need a generic API. That's the point.

Also, a generic API decouples whereas a custom API tightly couples.

WSDL is actually only describing the API - it's not defining a schema. So SOAP is not and was never usable for a third-parties. Same for gRPC's proto files.

I do appreciate your encouragement but I don't see where I concretely am missing out on something important. You simply state that I'm lacking knowledge without ever concretely showing the flaws of Wildcard.

> You are almost close to the enlightenment

That's just not very helpful. You are telling me that I'm missing an important point without telling what it is I'm missing.

I'd love to be shown wrong. You would for sure save me a lot of effort if you'd pin point my lack of knowledge.

For a Node.js backend and a browser frontend, what exactly is the problem with Wildcard API? (https://github.com/reframejs/wildcard-api). As long as you don't have third-parties consuming your API, I'd say that Wildcard is superior to GraphQL and REST >95% of the time. Especially when using Wildcard with TypeScript.

> There's always been a pendulum swinging between tightly coupled RPC standards and loosely coupled data interchange standards (or one made from the other in all sorts of combinations). It's a fact of software development life since essentially the dawn of the industry.

Interesting. I've not been a programmer long enough to know all that :-).

Thanks for you reply, I truly appreciate it.
I used to program professionally in Elixir where we talked to a ton of external providers. So, our app was heavy on the network (http) and Elixir was a really good fit for it. Now, I use it on personal projects.
Good point. I actually meant that google had an internal API for search which they use for customizing the search engine which I guess that they have not opened
It really depends where you're coming from. If you're from the enterprise world I'd expect you'll find the ecosystem limited for anything else than web related, maybe even for enterprise web integrations. If you're coming from something even more niche (for web) like Haskell you'll think the ecosystem is flourishing.

Libraries are generally of good quality and reasonably well documented. The community is very energetic and supportive. Moreover, there's an exceptional range of libraries and solutions available for certain problem domains in which the Erlang platform excels such as distributed concurrency and soft real-time applications in general.

If the problems you work on fall outside of the web sphere Elixir is not a good fit generally.

Do they share a memory bus? How do they contend with devices? Can an interrupt or memory access on the M7 core cause the M4 core to miss a critical timing? If so it's not really a good design.

If it's two totally independent cores with totally independent sets of devices, how do you manage the pinmux? Are there independent pinmuxes?

And finally is the M4 core capable of detecting single-faults in the cache, memory, flash registers, and instruction pipeline? Such as might be caused by cosmic rays?

These are some things I would look for if I was specifying a processor pair for use in a safety-critical system.

>Can the same hardware not be used for both industrial, and beginner-friendly settings?

Sorry but, if you have to ask this question, it's pretty clear that you have no idea what many industrial settings require.

There are ruggedness requirements, stability requirements, longevity requirements...

I work in an industry where our products are used for LITERAL decades. There's no way that anything even remotely marketed as "beginner friendly" could begin to work for anything we do.

You can't just throw more hardware at a problem and use that as an excuse for shitty software, come on. This incredibly flawed logic is why the minimum requirements for a chat program include 32GB of RAM.

Sounds like you just had a bad union or said union was handicapped. A lot of unions now are not even "allowed" to strike, which is THE tool to secure better working conditions.
I think active projects would detect this fine - but what if that commit was pushed to lpad and everyone ended up pulling it to local because it's a dependency of a dependency of a dependency in NPM?

Or what if it's a really obscure library for parsing like... pyramidal jpeg2000s, are the library consumers going to be checking the source? Heck, most people already don't check download checksums unless their downloader does it automatically.

The way I see it, this is what is bad:

> We have tried to contact the authors of affected software before announcing this attack, but due to limited resources, we could not notify everyone.

Many in the 'security industrial complex' make as if they are doing god's work by their 'research' but from a common sense, man/woman on the street, and layman point of view that is not what appears to be going on at all.

What they do is self serving and a detriment. Then they try to justify it in some way as being good when it's not good. It's like going around and compiling a list of doors in a neighborhood that are open, attempting to contact everyone but not getting some people and then saying 'hey look at what we did for you'. Meanwhile if a list were not compiled at all almost all people would do just fine.

> But I think the feeling is related to not being able to rely on anything in our field. Hard to justify going to the trouble of encrypting your backup. 10 years from now, it might be as good as plain text.

Figure out the amount of issues there would be if there was not such open disclosure and an entire industry surrounding breaking things vs. same not being done. That is the issue.

> Imagine an engineer receiving a call at midnight about his bridge because gravity changed during daylight saving in a leap year. That's our field.

No because nobody is able to or actively trying to change gravity (or is able to).

No it's not. "Joy" isn't a bad word. Joysticks seem to be fine.

It's specifically that the band "Joy Division" was named intentionally after a regrettable piece of history, and "joy plots" are named because of a Joy Division album cover.

Words aren't bad -- it's the meaning and derivation behind them. Etymology matters.

I'm assuming to you add the document (with date) to IPFS without being connected to the network (no actual data gets shared, only hash), gets the hash and send it over to the person you need to prove the document's date to. They won't be able to get it (since content itself is offline) and once you want to prove it, you add it again or make it otherwise online. Then they can fetch the same hash and confirm they received the hash at the date.

How Americans can be so anti-union by default is really beyond me when looking at the facts at the ground:

* A culture of overwork (especially in the game industry).

* No vacation.

* No parental leave.

* No sick leave.

* At-will-employment (which inherently causes massive under-reporting of things like sexual harassment in the workplace due to the fear of losing ones livelihood, and please spare me the "actually it's already illegal!", very few people are willing/capable of mounting a messy legal case on their own).

...and so on.

2018 was the worst year in a decade for the S&P, and now it's about where it would have been had average trends from the years before continued. Much of the gains in 2019 have been driven by stock buybacks, the Fed pumping cash into the economy, and lowering interest rates. Companies maybe have more money on the books due to taxes but what are they spending it on (or are they spending it at all)? Seems to be buying back shares more so than R&D, employee benefits, or physical growth. GDP growth is right around 2%, where it was prior to the corporate tax cuts of 2017.

My investment accounts look good this year, but they were pretty red at the start of last year.
I agree completely.

Saying "vegan X" for a complex vegan recipe intended to approach the experience of eating X seems like a naming failure when considering the sometimes heroic effort that went into researching the recipe.

Calling it "vegan cheese" is thus doubly unsuitable, as it disappoints everyone expecting something like real cheese, and denies the vegan innovator a distinctive, intrinsically vegan name for the creation.

Veganism should really be appealing for vegans first, and then the masses will appropriate from that culture whatever foods they like best from it. A "mac and vegan cheese" will never be able to outcompete mac and genuine cheese among the people who don't really care all that much if dairy cows are exploited or unhappy. But a "macaroni and cashew-butter sauce" might be fine if I'm not really in the mood for real cheese, or want to try something different.

I'm perfectly willing to try original vegan foods, but when they go head-to-head with vegan imitation against non-vegan genuine, I will choose the genuine food most of the time.
As long as it accepts MemorySticks, I'm fine with it.

> We could argue that the cargo ship would sail irrespective of that passenger, but we could equally make the same reasoning for people buying last minute seats that would otherwise fly empty.

Sure but the cargo ship business isn't moving passenger. If they always fill all the passengers rooms, they won't decide to bring more ships into the equation. Whether there's 0 passenger or 15, the ship will still go through that same amount of fuel.

Someone else did gave some good example of energy usage that a passenger will cause, like the water he will consume will need to be desalinated, or if he get sick and that require diverting a ship.
