If the maximum wage affected few enough people, then the effect on where people live their lives would be small. Set it at the 99.9th percentile or 99.99th percentile income or something to that effect. (per-household, those seem to be $1.5M and $7m per year). One in ten thousand people leaving the country might have a tiny effect, especially since the top paid one in ten thousand doesn't have as much correlation as you'd hope with the top most group social good providing one in ten thousand.
Have there been Mac viruses that actually spread user-to-user in the wild? The articles I've seen talk about malware, which is different. Also the occasional proof-of-concept.
I’ve been following privacy issues and technology for a while, but haven’t come across a foundational discussion of (a) the merits of and (b) technical implementations of different approaches to avoid fingerprinting:

When I had a WFH job, I would go days without talking to anybody. I literally started conversing with the cat and singing because my throat muscles began to atrophy. Once I got back into an office, I realized that my social skills had gone to shit.

There are some perks to WFH, but it can be bad for people who don't have a drive to seek human interaction with reasonable frequency.
It makes me think of password requirements. Isn't it bad to earmark a password as requiring certain things rather than to let the possibilities be completely open?

Yes, the point of the article is that there are very few if any checks and balances.

If you support anything but paying lip service to checks and balances then you would support restricting US government's surveillance powers and requiring a warrant in many more instances than it is required today (almost never when it comes to the NSA, and now the FBI and other agencies can warrantless look at your data before going to court, too, thanks to the latest FISA extension).
Fair enough and as mentioned this was Slackware and the maintainer, Patrick, is known to have a fondness for BSD so maybe his influence can be seen here.

For what it's worth the Slackware page does have an Examples section so it's not exactly what your seeing on Ubuntu but the examples themselves may be the same. As mentioned there are only three but they are probably the three examples needed most by 95% of users.

And, since I wasn't clear in my previous post, I absolutely agree about info. It may have been a nice thought when hypertext based systems were young and new things needed to be tried but it should have quietly died by now IMHO.
Legitimately, I wish it was intentional. In fact, I think the maintainer should make it intentional).
The logical conclusion of this is to go join ISIS and do their IT. See how stupid this idea is? You're not going to change anything from the inside, you're just helping them do bad things.
POS systems don't do the bank interface anymore ... usually it is a piece of middleware sits on the POS that is used to control the actual interface to the bank and the PED (swipe devices).

POS says I need payment to the value of amount ... middleware takes over and the POS get's back the card number encrypted (PCI) , auth code and cryptogram if chip (EMV) was used.

I wouldn't recommend property as a decent investment for most compared to a total stock market ETF.

You have the risk of the location becoming undesirable (lots of places in the US with stagnant or declining property values), you have the risk of bad tenants, you have the risk of being liable for the tenants in case something happens (even though you have insurance, they can always sue you), you have the risk of maintenance issues in the house requiring costly repairs. Etc.

Many managers use "devops" as an excuse to put a lot of burden on a small team, then this team is doing their best to automate managing a large number of machines but it's physically impossible to delve deeper into details and polish things, hence mishaps are bound to happen. And don't get me started on on what is happening inside containers.
I had to support a really old site that another developer wrote on IE just over a year ago. Luckily I am no longer at that company. Basically 99% of development and sites worked with modern browsers but one needed site required IE6 compat mode. It would have taken months to rewrite and the company didn't want to spend resources on it. At my current job we also have a lot of IBM software that seems to work best in IE although only a few people still use it at work. Doesn't seem like IE will be retiring anytime soon.

The article (and site) from this post is very good.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States...

This article links to a report that gives a number for terror incidents and how many were foiled.

You can see a map here: https://www.typeinvestigations.org/domesticterror/ which talks about the incident, and in the case of foiled incidents, links to something like court proceedings. This doesn't necessarily show clandestine operations led to foiling them vs regular police work, though...
Answering for myself: It's another thing I have to remember, or visually look for. I have to remember the state of the keyboard, I have to remember even more key chords, or both. I have enough cognitive load going on keeping a programming, gaming, or design stack going in my head to add another load keeping track of the status of my input device.

Even should the actions become muscle memory (I own, but no longer use, a HHKB and know that muscle memory fits in), that muscle memory will fail me the moment I have to use another keyboard, causing a mental stutter as I consciously override my muscle memory (with the HHKB, that was escape and delete in particular).

Moreover, I can feel my way around a keyboard and find all of the keys I could need by the clustering and relative position to the home row. Since I don't rest my hands on the keyboard while typing, this movement is not at all uncomfortable or distracting.

That's why I like full keyboards, why even I could find a keyboard with more keys useful.

Only because of immigration.
It should though - because the obligation is to the law and not ethics. While it is certainly messed up morally and a reflection of twisted norms there is a point about social contracts and expectations. One can argue it is wrong for a bystander to lock and bar the door in a mass shooting or not attempt an ambush of a shooter as they got closer but there is no expectation to risk their life like that and such outside demands of bravado would be wrong. Unreasonable demands make a parody of justice no matter the potential outcome.

That said it is possible for multiple people to be in the wrong in multiple dimensions and there is room for nuance. Robbing a bank is wrong, but doing so when under duress saying that the robber should be punished would be wrong but not if they were instead tasked to outright murder.

Memory dump will probably be what you want to do, but are you sure the process closed the file? If it's a config file, that's sensible the process has closed the file descriptor, but if it didn't (probably because of developer error), it's possible that file be still accessible (through inode for example in Linux). Actually I faced the same problem today; it was a virtual machine disk file that has been overwritten but virtual machine was running, so the (deleted) file was open and I could get it back.

Email Startup Front Raises Rare $59M Round
From the article:
... Vance is skeptical that Apple doesn’t have a secret backdoor. “They get into my phone all the time because they upgrade my operating systems and they send me messages,” he says.

I do not expect the Manhattan DA to have more than a superficial understanding of technology, but after a statement like that it is fair to expect him to be corrected, educated, and the article to call out "that's not how any of this works"
Yes, but what about property taxes, maintenance, transaction costs (6% to sell!) and opportunity cost of your down payment.

I've run the number in the past and in some markets it's clearly cheaper to own than rent (typically where there is slow but steady increases in prices - mid-west US). For other markets, you need 3-5% asset price increases just to break even with renting after 10 years (bay area).
The only thing that shows is that reduction to absurds leads to absurdities.
It can be done, the intelligence agencies just need to find new ways to identify terrorists or prevent terrorists from causing harm.
Hard to implement in practice. If I give you N options with a strike price of $X and the company is worth $X/share today, I gave you zero dollars worth of compensation, sort of, so the government can't prevent that with a max wage law. If the price goes up by $1, you've just earned $N. Cap the wage, and typical N will likely go up.
Rates in US banks are 1.7%+, and there is considerably more risk involved in renting a residence rather than having cash deposited in an FDIC insured bank account requiring a considerable premium. Also, if the home investment is on the time horizon of 5+ years, I can't see many homeowners outside of hot real estate markets (which is a gamble) beating a total market index fund, if you factor in labor, time, tenancy and home maintenance risk, and the fact that the US government is going to bail out the public equity markets no matter what.

Bill Gates’ TerraPower and GE Hitachi proposal to build a new nuclear reactor
That's impossible by means of how they're written. GNU still cares about operating systems that don't bundle the mdoc macros with their troff processor and don't use mandoc (which is... exactly only AIX and HP-UX at this point), so they write all their text in man so that they render correctly everywhere.

For tagging, the formatting would need to be redone to be mdoc, which breaks both the OSes mentioned above and would be an immensely arduous task at this point. Probably not going to happen.

Note GNU and and the Linux man-pages project are mostly outliers; everyone else that lives in BSD/illumos land has long since moved on to mdoc since like the 80s. See also https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/141-dzons...

Classes are/were thought as awesome because you can do dependency injection via providing an object, but you can't easily do that with just providing a different implementation namespace.

That said, maybe PHP is not the language where you need to do DI. Just have a few different config files around, do the includes and wiring there and that's it. And hope for the best. (After all there's no compile, no checking of interface correctness with any kind of DI either.)
Ports aren't a replacement for ErlPort, they're a pre-existing mechanism of Erlang/OTP. ErlPort is a library that makes it easy to use ports with Ruby and Python. It's not actively developped but the community has managed to keep it compatible with recent Erlang/OTP releases. In my experience it works well and makes it a breeze to call Python from Elixir.
I feel the exact opposite - if you can't pay your insurance premiums or your investors, I don't want to fund your project through my taxes.

I'm aware Nuclear competes with industries that have negative externalities which aren't priced in - to my mind, the proper solution is to tax the negative externalities and not subsidize any particular technology. Subsidizing industries requires hitting a moving target, and government simply doesn't move at a pace where it can reliably add value in that space.
Perceived risk is a real issue. You are not addressing that at all. You are pretending I only mentioned risk.

I don’t know enough about the tech to say whether the molten lead could be exposed to the environment due to unforeseen conditions, or what would happen at that point. But I’ve seen false assertions of safety before, plenty of times.
ugh. so then employers will compete on other things, the same way they did the last time that garbage was tried.
You're right. Fudged terminology. It does read-eval-print, but not in an interactive loop.
For sure, there are a few cases like the one you mention (I personally work with this kind of code in a daily basis), but that's not the reason most people use Fortran. There are many libraries with a level of robustness and performance that you won't find anywhere else, there are highly optimized compilers, and it is the standard language in many fields.

It's also quite safe for non-programmers. Those non-programmers write complex algorithms, but the code itself is not "clever and completely un-idiomatic". Most often, it is quite naive, just a series of formulas one after the other. You will find very long subroutines, bad names, some obvious inefficiencies, and maybe some spaghetti, but nothing to be afraid of.
It's just text - so all the text formatting/search/manipulation commands are available to you. Manpages are really easy to use and navigate, given you use them how they're meant to be used.

Was amazing for us basically to discuss and dispatch incoming and outgoing emails, drafting responses and templates together, without descending into deeper circles of “forward hell” or sharing email screenshots on other messages. Massively reduced inbox/messenger clutter by moving email-centric collaboration much closer to email.

Depends on what Google’s mission is. If it’s to show you ads, it doesn’t matter how long you’re on their page as the destination will (almost certainly) have more. If it’s to help you, it’s not successful.
But if the coating from non-stick pans makes its way down the drain (or down the toilet) and back into the water system of the planet then you really can't.
In particular, this stems from the observation that many, many programs have an initialization phase where they may read config, open logs, hit the network for config and peers, etc., and do all sorts of things that they do not do during their steady state operation. However, when programs are "hacked", particularly remotely over the network, they are in their steady-state phase. So while there is in some sense not much theoretical gain to pledge(), in practice it is applicable to a wide variety of software where the program itself can say "Alright, I'm out of my init phase, now crank the screws down on me and make sure I don't do these other things because it's guaranteed they're bad."
If Microsoft really believes no-one needs IE, why is it still shipping it as part of Windows 10?

>Their is no reason why hundreds of millions of these less-poor folk can't do it.

Rwanda doesn't have the same problem with poverty and garbage as the countries I listed, and it's tiny compared to them. Specifically, the issue contributing to pollution here is that the countries in question have:

* Lots of people in poverty, and an upper class that are not

* Industries offshored from richer nations

* Significant amounts of trash being produced locally or taken in from other countries (usually via barge or sea traffic)

* Lax environmental enforcement that either doesn't restrict or is overwhelmed by the number of people polluting who are just trying to survive

It's not about having a plan... it's more about being able live another day. The problem isn't that they want to be poor, it's that their governments keep them that way and don't care about the environment or their welfare as long as their power is maintained.

The best option for a lot of the poor is picking through garbage from richer people, either from other countries or their own. There are so many people in the Philippines who literally eat food made from the remains of other people's meals they find in the garbage and re-use that it has a name - Pagpag. If you're poor enough to eat that way, disposing of other people's garbage in an environmentally sound way is pretty far down the priority list.

The best solution apart from common sense measures and laws controlling what waste can be exported and what has to happen to it is probably to buy plastic bottles from those poor people... they get money and live better, we get plastic sorted into types for recycling processes.
You're doubting what? That there are people doing this?

It's not hard on a bay area L4+ salary to have a spare 40-50k several times a year (20% of a 200-250k property), especially if you are snowballing with profits from multiple other properties.

That's simply not true. There's plenty of uranium for hundreds of years of power - not to mention alternatives like thorium which are orders of magnitude more common and don't require the same kind of refinement or pose the same proliferation risk.

I searched the comments for FTC and yours was the only that popped up.

For the record, I don’t think this is FTC compliant. It also reeks of the kind of this that regulators would adjust their laws for. Google is playing with a situation where regulators may write very explicit rules that say exactly how much labeling their ads need. A 50%-75% chop in outgoing paid clicks would be material to their earnings. They’ve been in a situation for a decade where a large chunk of their most valuable demographic had no idea they’ve been clicking on ads. That isn’t a metric they should be getting more greedy on.

Regulators could just set up a test where, if a large enough percent of users don’t know they’ve clicked on an ad, paid disclosure has to be more explicit.

The low hanging revenue fruit for Google at this point is very sparse. Financially incentivized executives are scrambling to do questionable things to hit bonuses that probably shouldn’t be attainable. Kind of like Boeing.
Good catch. Corrected.
That is exactly the idea behind Adapt (and said better than I've been saying it). The goal is to hide all the DevOps details but still make it easy to customize the parts that you need to customize via JSX and React concepts.

If you check out some of the components in adapt/cloud/src, most of them are small too, and just use other simpler components like LocalDockerImage, DockerContainer, RepositoryImage, etc.
