No. I know that there are a few barriers keeping people near the "minimum worth" level:

1. education

2. language

3. physical/mental inability

What are some other ones?
I think think the issue is a lot more complex than they're describing. Serious dementia can be quite unpleasant, and as with physical pain, it's not clear that going light on drugs is the ethical thing to do.

Similarly, withholding meds from people in their 80s because those meds might shorten their life some seems dubious.

Has Linus not seen the work that the OpenZFS folks are doing?

ZFS is amazing and I would soon go to a BSD flavor with a fun set of user land utilities than give it up.
Not excusing them but..

with modern container hosting you really should be able to make your own. even with cheap VPS hosting. There is no reason to live in a world where a server goes down you lose anything anymore.
Tyler Cowen’s whole gimmick is to play dumb and distract people from the actual issue. Back when unemployment was 10% he wrote about “zero marginal product” people. He literally called people useless. As if the financial crisis was caused by video games and dirty movies on the internet. When pressed on it he admitted he doesn’t know much about macroeconomics. Change the subject, then play dumb, that’s his only move.
Unless I COMPLETELY misunderstand encryption, E2E encryption only protects your data in transit. It does not mean that data on servers are encrypted NOR does it mean that servers don't have decryption keys to that data if it is encrypted.

Am I wrong about this?
If it behaves the way the MTA is behaving, what difference does it make? That's the point that people taking your side of this question keep ignoring.

As we've seen with PG&E's behavior on the other side of the country, these entities are treated like official state agencies whenever they find it convenient to be treated that way, and like private businesses when that's more convenient.

It is not in the riders' interest -- or the taxpayer's -- for anyone to be allowed to dictate who can publish maps of a publicly-funded transit system. Whether the MTA is called a "public-private partnership," a "utility," a "transit authority," a "public benefit corporation," or simply a "government agency" is, again, not the least bit relevant.

One of my favorite anecdotes about BeOS was that it had a CPU usage meter[1], and on the CPU meter there were on/off switches for each core. If you had two cores and turned one off, your computer would run at half speed. If you turned both off, your computer would crash. Someone once told me that this was filed as a bug against the OS and the response was "Works As Intended" and that it was the expected behavior.

(These are fuzzy memories from ~25 years ago. It would be nice if someone could confirm this story or tell me if it's just my imagination.)

Really curious how the Surface Duo turns out. Weird form factor aside, Microsoft embracing Android on a branded device is interesting.
What happens if you fix a couple of fireflies on one end of the volume to have a slow clock speed, and a couple on the other side to have higher clock speed? (Also freezing their random motion)

What do the fireflies in between do? Would the faster clockspeed win out and entrain them? Do you get chaotic behaviour?

Very cool page.

If you take a factual data set and apply the visualization rules for "pie chart", the result will present similarly to the result of someone else applying the visualization rules for "pie chart" to the same data.

The visualization rules for "transit map" are more open to interpretation than for "pie chart", but if you look at the maps for London, Paris, Shanghai, Washington DC, Chicago, etc., they are almost self-evident:

1. Represent major stations as white circles with black outlines.

2. Represent service lines with easily distinguishable colors.

3. Constrain lines to angles divisible by 45 degrees (Paris divisible by 30 degrees).

4. Represent non-standard service with a dashed, dotted, or broken line.

5. Stations that are connected by pedestrian access are connected on the map. Minor stations, without service interchanges, may be represented by a smaller white dot or a tick mark.

Apply the rules to the facts, and the map appears. Some human tweaking may be necessary for clarity, and that is the only opportunity for copyrightable creativity to creep in.

MTA would need to assert a particular map feature that cannot be derived from applying transit map rules to the MTA transit facts. They did not.
Isn't that beside the point? OpenZFS is still CDDL.
sketch out stuff on paper very crudely, then start coding in the browser and iterate, iterate, iterate. The finished product usually looks way different than the sketch.

Well, the cost can be laughably low for some; but not for all of us in the cities these services exist.

Last year I moved to a small city in Northern California with no Uber/Lyft, & I don't own a car because of money shortage, I had a bike from Walmart for $150 which was stolen before I moved from Bay Area. I looked at some of the scooters equivalent to Bird or Lime ones, starting from $800 upwards.

I found a good one from Walmart Thanksgiving sale for $250; but it was not good enough for that money; & I returned it & returned to walking around. So, I would live Bird or Lime coming here; & no, the cost is not low enough for all of us.
It's not about ownership, but about the content of the IP itself. The wealthy can only concentrate IP by making things that work for the majority of people.

Wheras previously, things were often super eclectic and weird, to suit the tastes of a particular individual.

Whether things that work for the majority of people results in lower quality art is an open debate. Personally I believe that it does end up with worse results, but the thinking behind copyright as it is implemented right now is that it is better.

Every rich man leaves a widow behind and with some probability a heiress. There is enough money under female control to start a company with female values.

Maybe women don't have access to the top VC circles but likewise many men also don't get access and still continue. The situation is not made for them, but why should that be an issue? It's not necessary that they have the best circumstances. The situation just has to be good enough and I think that's given.

There will never be balance at the top, simply because of the higher variance in male iq. The most intelligent humans will always be predominately men. And those men will never create equal opportunities because people thrive for the top to have an advantage. Why give away that advantage when you are there? Some will, but the overall system will be imbalanced.

So, why wait for better times instead of making the best out of now?
Always promptly install security updates. Other than that, there is no protection from this specific class of vulnerabilities.

There are other good security practices a slightly savvier user can follow, like running a soft firewall and installing fewer apps, but they wouldn't mitigate this vulnerability.
Eh, multithreading decoding could help a lot. And by the population of DVD video in computers (and the PS2), most people had a Pentium3 450MHZ at homes, which was more than enough for DVD video with an ASM optimized video player such as MPlayer and a good 2D video card.

2D acceleration was more than enough.

I own a company that sell parts for the construction of industrial machinery.

Most of our current sales comes from people that found our Google Ads.

It is clear we need, urgently, an alternative. But I am not finding any.

So those that figured out other ways to advertise than using Google, what you do?

On a related topic, one thing unexpected thing that I learned after I had my thyroid removed is that there is a LOT of pseudoscience online about body temperature.

Scalene author here. I was not aware of either tool - many thanks for the pointers! I just tried py-spy (I will try PyFlame on a Linux box momentarily). It's pretty cool, though having to run it as root on OS X isn't great (scalene runs without the need for root privileges; the CPU profiling part is pure Python). Py-spy does appear to efficiently track CPU perf at the line granularity (and does a lot of other stuff). It does a lot of things that scalene does not do, but not memory profiling. Also, I personally prefer scalene's line-level display of annotated source code vs. the flame graphs, but YMMV.

Rust can throw away constness in unsafe blocks, which carries the same caveat emptor that const_cast carries.
And I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that SaaS vendors are going to do their best to convince you that SaaS is the only viable choice, whereas for many businesses on-prem is just fine and it isn't going anywhere, because it works.

Don't know how it compares to other countries, but the US is definitely overmedicated in general. Not really my place, since at least with prescriptions they are being distributed by people who are by definition more qualified than me, but it's widely known that doctors will often prescribe antibiotics "just in case", even though tests for specific bacteria have all come back negative, and the use in livestock adds to that. The opioid epidemic is another clear sign that it's being prescribed more than is warranted.

Far more subjective and anecdotal, but the number of people I know who take prescriptions for anxiety or other ongoing mental health concerns but who have never tried therapy is scary. Treating with drugs is clearly solution #1 for a lot of our culture.

It’s a common method in Canada as well.

The end result is, if the owner chooses, they can continue paying the same property rate until they die or sell. The govt eventually collects the full tax from the equity of the house (or estate).

You solve the issue of people being forced from their homes while at the same time being more equitable in terms of tax burden.

If a project is still usable in 99.9% of the ways most developers would care about (ie everything except AWS hosting their own paid version), are you saying you don't like it when projects communicate that fact by saying things like, "we're almost open source, except X"?

> Of course it helps, but I feel like we miss out on a lot of companies open sourcing their code if we only care if they build a open source community too.

Personally speaking, open sourcing something with no intention of responding to interested developers doesn't feel right.

> You still have to make sure you're a better product for someone to purchase, if you now so persistently want to run a company based on your open source code. You can still run a better product than your competitors.

When you open source though, aren't you making it significantly easier for people to build a product better than yours?

If it's a paid product that works without hosting, what's to stop someone just selling it cheaper or releasing it for free?

I do live in New York, thank you very much. My only attitude is that the MTA should never have killed Exit Strategy, that was the one really productive tool for straphangers.

Why do the situations you've proposed have any benefit from the MTA's map? Trying to determine which stations are near your origin or destination based on a system map is a fool's errand, particularly for as large a network as ours. If you're estimating walking times based on distance on the MTA's map, you're going to be very unpleasantly surprised.

The part of those questions that a system map can be useful for is which lines are continuous, which as I mentioned above, is best done when you can see it clearly rather than needing to read it.
Well he had this:

> as far as I can tell, it has no real maintenance behind it either any more

Which simply isn't true. They just released a new ZFS version with encryption built in (no more ZFS + LUKS) and they removed the SPL dependency (which didn't support Linux 5.0+ anyway).

I use ZFS on my Linux machines for my storage and I've been rather happy with it.
That's impressive speedup. I just installed it and holy moly it really is fast. All those extra cores can finally get busy. ;)

OK, and how's the "war on drugs" going thus far?

> Mental health professionals and managers at large drug companies need to start going to jail for over-prescribing psychiatric drugs.

Really? You want to put people into jail for trying to treat depression?

> throwing doctors in jail who over prescribe these drugs would do wonders for people.

And now you want to imprison doctors for treating pain and taking care of patients?

You can't be serious, I hope you are merely ignorant rather than that punitive.

BTW, prescriptions have nothing to do with illegal fentanyl overdoses, and virtually nobody prescribed painkillers becomes addicted to them. This is well studied but largely ignored by the political posturing, media hysteria, and moral panicking about an imaginary prescription crisis, data shows it does not exist.

E-scooters are a very tempting business because the napkin math is very tempting.

In my neck of woods escooter rentals are 10+ Euros an hour.

So 500 Euros for scooter / 10 => 50 hours to break even

Then you say okay maybe only 1 percent utilization => 5000 hours which is still ~6 months (we are talking napkin math).

This makes for a great elevator pitch.

Only later do you start worrying about vandalism, logistics/costs of gathering scooters every night etc.

"Don't use ZFS. It's that simple. It was always more of a buzzword than anything else, I feel, and the licensing issues just make it a non-starter for me.

Economists can't run experiments like other scientists. In a way, they are more like historians.

In my opinion, almost all of the actual past raises to minimum wage have been on the small side, and have not significantly affected unemployment. You're right about that.

But if my opinion is true, then there's a huge leap with no scientific basis to saying "therefore this specific large increase in minimum wage will not raise unemployment."

Unfortunately, there aren't any scientific studies of increasing the US minimum wage by 100% because it has not been done multiple times in the past. So no one really knows what would happen if we did it now.
