A lot of voter registration laws are designed to make it hard for young people to vote. They move more frequently or are at college away from their permanent address.

I've missed one major election since I turned 18, and it's because I was on internship 5 hours from where I could vote.

To me, B&N is still the big bad, even though a bigger badder entity is out there. To me, indie bookstores are far better than any B&N and amazon because they hire minimum wage workers whereas the indie store is a small business that will give an opportunity to people within the community to run the business the way they want and reaping most of the benefits of the business.

Also, indie bookstores give variety and are (hopefully) different from any other bookstore in varying degress.
You're assuming the bump in costs due to higher wages would by default outpace that of UBI's tax revenue. This is a ridiculous assumption.

The wage earners would be paying more taxes due to their higher wages.

The wage earners would have more spending power in our real economy, which both means more businesses earning money, and more tax revenue collected.

Is there a threshold we could hit where wage increases, increase cost to the point of outpacing tax revenues, sure. Is this even close to a default outcome. Absolutely not, and it's absurd to suggest it.
Uber inadvertently publishes flaw that lets anyone track scooter trips in US
Your Machiavellian side is completely missing the point then - this is(was) a public event (as evidenced by GP's reference to 100k views on IG), thus there is no leverage.

You'd have leverage if there were a reasonable likelihood that you were the only hiring manager to have this information, but if everyone is on a level playing field, the leverage disappears.
Yes, having a software engineer cleaning dishes for a restaurant is a waste of talent.

Maybe if overtime was flexible, you could suggest hiring unskilled workers to do those tasks at home.

I love my kid, but it's not like he's learning cutting edge stuff that requires an engineer to teach them. And there's many hours in the evenings and weekends we spend together where he learns how his dad behaves.
Obviously the fully-loaded cost of an employee goes beyond the cash compensation.

But even so, the average salary in the US is < $60k. Use whatever multiplier you want, $200k is way high.

Companies are spending far less than $200k/employee all-in.

So to slightly rephrase the OP's question:

> Do people really believe that $100k is a normal salary?
In my previous company we had 20 million daily active users and we ran that on 4x M4.large EC2 instances. 4 instances not because it had any significant load (probably ~10-15% sustained), but purely because of high-availability and the ability to do a rolling release update.
Vehicles are certified as safe to operate on public roads by the (federal) government; that certification can be revoked by regulators. Many states have specific laws licensing self-driving cars to operate; the regulators in those states can also revoke permission. There's no need to invent violations.
And articles like the submission often have "let me write an contrarian article for internet points, who cares about details" feel to me :/

K8s solved very real problems that might not be seen when you're running one app, shitty standard syslog and cloud-provided database. But those problems still exist, and k8s provided real, tangible benefit in operation where you don't need to remember thousand and one details of several services, because you have a common orchestration to use as abstraction.
$10K seems like a lot.

If Slack is going to round out at $100/a/staff member ... then how on earth does that number creep to $10K?

I think there might be some 'crossing of streams' in this data, for example, perhaps they're including general services like AWS in there, which I'm not sure makes sense because conflating product-related IT charges with other services isn't helpful. Also relevant is the fact that said AWS product or IT charges would be borne anyhow.

I think dividing between 'productivity/IT' kind of spending, and product-related services would reallly help, also, comparing that $10K to historical, non-SaaS numbers would help as well.

==If everyone in a city is already competing for a limited housing supply and suddenly everyone has an extra $1000 per month, I wouldn't be surprised if the cheapest housing costs suddenly increased by nearly $1000 per month.==

If we accept this logic as true, wouldn't it incentivize builders to increase housing supply? They would want to capture those higher rents and prices, right?

I don't understand why people spend a bajillion dollars on a logo re-do. My first company did it and it was generic, shitty, and did us no good (Electric Imp). We had a wonderful little imp, we called him the imp dude or similar:

https://cdn.instructables.com/F31/9EZA/HJKC29JK/F319EZAHJKC2...

Captured the brand, such as it was, perfectly. A small hacker company started by a man that had hacking coded into his DNA. The founder had started out phreaking at somewhere around age 8. He made a cool bit of money as a teen by custom-programming firmware for lasertag guns and upgrading guns around his hometown. The company was started because he was annoyed at how hard it was to simply get an IFFT style IOT light set up in his bathroom, securely. And so the logo: a cocky little imp creature, imo agendered, with a plug pitchfork and a goofy (optional, not always displayed) tail. Our costume-crazed QA guy even threw together a cardboard and paper-mache version of it for a halloween party once. Possible, because it was a character. It could be anthropomorphized. It represented the company identity.

Then we paid, I don't even know how much, but it didn't matter in the end anyway, for this:

https://3psnnz1ja4lg3qllb62xd6yg-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-...

It was supposed to be simple, I guess, and the little line was supposed to represent I guess a single connection on a silicone board? But what is that? What does it mean, what does it represent? How can we form an identity around that, how could it have represented us? We got rid of Imp Dude for no reason. Stupid.
Only circumstantially in IMHO. Obscurity can be a semi-decent security tool in some situations, and in others completely and utterly useless. It depends on what you're trying to secure.
Perhaps it's a demonstration that the market should have more tools as composable building blocks, rather than turn-key solutions.
In London, I'd guess the median salary for most enterprises is around £30-40K. National insurance, a desk, and a few other benefits are probably £20K on top of that.

Does a simple remote classroom package exist?
My fiance is a high school teacher, her school does have the ability to administer tests online but they don't have a way to actually teach online. Covid-19 has them beginning to talk about how they might be able to teach students if they have to close for a period. We also get snow days most years due to either snow or ice... I don't understand why, in 2020, one or more startups haven't started to make cheap and flexible software for schools to be able to use for situations like snow days which could easily be expanded to situations like this Covid-19 situation or some inevitable future outbreak.

I mean... people in the United States already teach students in other countries remotely on the side, several of her friends that are now stay at home mothers teach students in Hong Kong remotely for example.

Obviously it's not great as a permanent solution because:

- an alarming number of students in the U.S. rely on the school to feed them 1-2 meals a day because they just don't get it at home

- some students simply can't learn without a teacher physically present

- ?

but it just amazes me there isn't a standard software package or two for this. Especially as a lot of schools have gone to issuing tablets/Chromebooks over the past several years. Software already exists for assignments and tests, why hasn't someone just made a proper classroom app. Video for the teaching/lecture with a way for the students to query the teacher during the lesson with specific questions, then archive the video for the duration of the course so students can go back and revisit the lesson as desired.

- Tornado damage

- Hurricanes

- Snow/ice related closures

- Outbreaks

- Temporary illness in an individual student, students with compromised immune systems, students that are unable to easily attend for a period due to injury

There has to be something like this out there, is anyone aware of anything. This could also easily be adapted for colleges and non k-12 (or comparable) and non-university type institutions.
Because the text now seems to disappear on the now invisible background, in this photo of their concept car https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/m0Mq-L5MSCvGTGjp6huvqX8iVCw=... the logo look like one of those symbols on the heads of crash test dummies to calculate angles and velocities and such. Not something you really want to see in the middle of the steering wheels!
BMW is transgressing from the petrol-carbon era and made away with the rubbery oily tire in the emblem. This is in line with the airy designs of their hybrid cars.

The new logo isn't that far from the very earliest. It would have been nice to see it in gold tones though. I think they should have held on to the heraldic feel already present with the checkerboard flag. The global market likes that exotic traditional stuff which is unique to European cars. Volvo for instance are pushing a lot on the Scandinavian heritage (only after they were acquired by the Chinese though) with minimalistic wood designs in the panel and Swedish flags on the seats.
Life expectancy and health (mental & physical) matters. Especially in the case of a President. Plus you want them to be able to serve 2 terms, so you need to consider current age + 8 years.
Those SaaS companies are probably not paying for the free software they're using though. Internal costs (people wrangling free/open source/homegrown software) have just become external costs (credit card charges of SaaS businesses doing the same).

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I suppose if folks are getting to capture more dollars for the value they deliver, that's always a good thing. Better to own your own biz versus being a cog in someone else's machine (IMHO).
They are just going to pay their employees less. Companies have to be profitable, temporary exceptions notwithstanding, and the money has to come from somewhere.

Yes, I didn't say it was impossible to vote. My point was that it is more inconvenient in general for young people to vote than older people, and there are things we could do to increase their participation if we wanted to. We could also hold elections on weekends.
File and folder icons are not skeuomorphic. They were a visual metaphor at best. The whole "desktop" paradigm was a metaphorical concept. It wasn't trying to directly mimic a real physical desktop, just putting visual elements in some sort of context. There was nothing about a "folder" icon that behaved like a physical Manila folder. It was just an icon representing a logical construct that would group individual data items stored in the computer.

The whole desktop paradigm was also completely replaced the moment an application was run. No Windows or MacOS UI widget really mimicked some physical item. Few applications tried to look like a physical item of similar functionality. Word processors weren't themed to look like a typewriter, spreadsheets didn't try to look like graph paper, databases didn't act like card catalogs or filing cabinets.

In early iOS the skeuomorphic elements did try to take on a look of the physical things they represented. The calculator looked like an actual physical calculator. The address book looked like a paper address book. The notes app looked like a pad of lined papers and when you deleted a note it left a small ragged edge at the top of the view to look like ripped paper. The voice recorder looked like an old microphone and had an analog looking VU meter.

The classic MacOS and Windows UIs didn't do that sort of stuff. Neither did Windows Mobile or PalmOS. You didn't see that with CDE, GNOME, or KDE. In fact the few skeuomorphic desktop apps I can even think of are your KPT example and some audio software that let you wire together effects units as if they were physical boxes connected with quarter in audio cables.
Well it would be nice for cloud servers, so that you wouldn't have to trust the hosting provider. But given the choice of needing to trust (cloud: intel, home: intel), and (cloud: intel+provider, home: nobody), it would be foolish to not choose the latter!

At the individual level, remote attestation has a particularly terrible end game. Think of all those websites that attempt to enforce their desired business whims client-side, that we rightfully laugh at - browser fingerprinting, image save as, anti-adblock, etc. Now imagine they're successful!

Anecdotally I've known 5 BMW owners, one was an older car (early 2000's), the rest made after 2010. The older one wrecked unfortunately, and all but one of the rest had mechanical failures.

Statistically they may not be any better or worse than any other manufacturer, but I still can't convince myself that their craftsmanship is any better. The koreans pride themselves in their craftsmanship too, and their cars are a third of the price.

Maybe. But it also seriously helps to avoid being distracted. I live in Seattle and drive to my parents house in Vegas, almost always driving I-90 -> I-82 -> I-84 -> I-15. Washington is great. Hardly any billboards. Oregon and Idaho are about the same. Driving through Utah is awful. Billboards everywhere some of them are brightly lit and flashing. I feel much more distracted by them.
This is cool but I would not use this at all. I think this might just decrease discoverability/readability of READMEs that are already too long/complicated.
It does seem disingenuous, as no one has ever claimed that "unpaid" work doesn't have value. It does have value, and that's why it's always compensated in one way or another.

In fact, arguably it's highly beneficial to families to have one partner that isn't paid on the books for this work, as that means they don't have to pay taxes on that pay.

My parents both worked, but a lot of my friends had stay-at-home mothers, and they seemed to be doing a lot better financially, perhaps partly due to this effect.

>That we currently speak very openly on the net is such a treasure. With an open ID it would just end like China. There would be topics you just don't speak about because reputation damage wouldn't make it worth it. That would be a significant loss

So yes that is need to be fixed so that we can speak openly even with open ID without the damage you mentioned. Thats the solution that we need to find.

>I have a public persona that is neatly compartmentalized. With effort you could connect that of course, but in practice nobody has access on the whole. I tend to keep it that way

You could but the cost and effort to do that is going to be higher and higher. Not everyone want that, I certainly don't. I don't want to have to compartmentalized my information or hiding my information. It's sucks.

>Clear names just don't work that well because numerous practical reasons.

Yes, I agree right now it is not practical, so that need to be fixed, instead of trying to hide the name.

>Ok, people said mean things under the veil of anonymity. Big deal. But recent evidence suggests they would do it with their ID in the open just as well

Then this issue is nothing to do with privacy.

I agree. Letting workers leave abusive employment situations is a benefit of UBI. UBI might even totally reorient the idea of work in that now an employer has the incentive to keep workers happy that must be balanced with the profit incentive.
Number of hours worked is not equal to production or richness of a society.

Productivity equals production.

A small team of engineers who design and create a machine to build brick walls en masse, could have the same productivity as hundreds of thousands of bricklayers working 16 hours a day.

A good example of this are Silicon valley, Singapore or New York, which are small social groups that have more economic and social output than most countries with a much larger population.

To be more productive and have a richer and better quality of life (richer is not necessarily more quality of life), it's generally more efficient and sustainable to have better education and social conditions for workers, than to exploit them.

I'm repeating myself, but I've found Zulip many times better than Slack. It's more or less the same, but everything there is a thread, which makes following things much easier. It also supports much better message views (you can "zoom in/out" on them), and it's very fast and extremely keyboard-friendly.

Well, the rich almost always make most of their day-to-day income from investments. The opportunity cost calculations change pretty dramatically when a person's labor provides little to no monetary value (especially given the context of going out for a burger).

After all, there's a practical limit on the value of a person's labor - let's postulate that it's around $7,000 a day - there's no such limit on what investments can return in a day.

* $7,000 is Elon Musks's $2.2M salary from 2019 divided into 340 working days.
I don't have any real problem with older people, even 75+, being in positions of power and responsibility, especially in elected government. However, there is decent evidence that the degree to which late silent generation and early baby boomers have dominated positions of power starting in the late 1980s is a historical quirk. I didn't use to think so, but there was great article a month back on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22204966) that compiled some good data on how power seemed to consistently land on individuals in the late silent generation or early baby boom.

I don't think there is any conspiracy, although there may be some degree of self reinforcing bias toward people born around 1947 in society now. There are other precedents though- in the small scale, the US Military Academy (West Point) class of 1915 was known as the "class the stars fell on" because so many members became generals (due to WWII), and post WWII those that were able to serve in the military retained some advantages over those that weren't, either by age or other status.
