The only folks I saw working minimum wage to support the family didn't have those worries. Now I'll grant that health insurance was a lot cheaper 20 years ago, but still they didn't worry about payday loans - they weren't dumb enough to take them out. (I don't know who does - my personal experience doesn't show anyone doing it, but again that was 20 years ago when they weren't a thing)

The ones I knew working minimum wage lived cheaply. They didn't worry about losing their jobs because they were hard workers who could be counted on - the type of person who gets the maximum raise until they top out the pay scale. They were also the type of person to be offered job in management and have the potential to make as much as anyone with an engineering degree (we haven't kept in touch - typically the requirement to move for the job every few years catches up and they decide the next promotion isn't worth it and so stagnate at nice wage that is better than average)

I knew people who sit around drinking bear and working part time. Everybody knew they were losers. It wasn't lack of opportunity that is keeping them down it is lack of following up on it. They would abandon their kids even if you paid the a million dollars a year (even assuming they don't overdose on some drug)

I also know mentally ill people. Their abilities vary, but UBI won't help them as they will just waste it on some other scam. (I know someone who lost money to the Nigerian prince scam, and a dozen others - the family is careful to lock down his money now so he can't do that)
I'm starting out on a similar Zettelkasten style database/wiki thing using org-roam and org-journal on Emacs. I find the entire concept fascinating and I'm surprised at how enthusiastic I am with this subject.

I'm still refining the workflows and discovering how it interacts with my own idiosyncrasies. The basic setup is:

1) Take daily notes in a hardback A4 sized square dotted journal. Mark shorter tasks/notes as completed when done.

2) Sweep "stuff that needs to be remembered" into org-journal daily entries, once or twice a day. Also add interesting web page links with a short description. And "nice to have" ideas, things like that.

3) Link from those daily notes to other planning or project org-mode notes using org-roam. Write quick outlines of documents.

4) At the beginning of the doc, those planning/project org docs have links to various single-subject docs. Those links are considered "tags" so a taxonomy is slowly being built up.

Org-roam shows you backlinks from docs, daily notes, etc, so you can begin to see what is connected. There's also a graphviz output you can generate to get a more graphical view of the links.

Things I'd like to be able to do, but haven't yet coded or learned the Lisp to do so:

1) Sync/Import bookmarks and their tags from Firefox. I've got a lot of bookmarks that I've tagged, it would be nice to be able to link those 2 sets of tags.

2) Figure out some sort of end-of-week-review process or multi-doc view. Something for me to look at all the stuff I added that week, and a way for me to push stuff into next week.
Its in the 'Long Reads' section. This is a feature, not a news story.
Alternatively it does not spread effectively enough (not enough reservoirs in summer) and dies out in human population.

Or widespread herd immunity reduces its severity, not mutation. (e.g. Polio) In the latter case, we would have some slight persistent number of cases.
CTRL-l is a standard "clear the screen" keystroke, and should work in all terminals, but it does not necessarily clear the scrollback buffer. Since "scrollback" is something implemented by the emulator itself, you'll have to look up how to do it there.

I use konsole, and it's CTRL-SHIFT-k there by default, I believe. I just ran gnome-terminal, and I see in Edit -> Preferences -> Terminal -> Reset and Clear that you can give it a shortcut key but it does not appear to ship with one configured by default.
Overqualified
Some do, but it's a small percentage. Many more struggle their whole lives to survive without being able to make any significant improvement to their family's economic status.
Maybe. These kinds of system-level effects are extremely hard to forecast with any kind of certainty. At best, the evidence we have is from studying the effects of things like raising minimum wage or giving away money to more niche groups such as families with children (eg Canada's CCTB), or people living in specific areas (Alaska Permanent Fund).

As far as I can tell, none of these lesser programmes has had any effect above and beyond inflation on cost of living. Wasn't the sky supposed to fall when Washington State passed that ballot measure for a graduated minimum wage increase back in 2016?

Meanwhile, there are plenty of examples of awfully expensive large scale "back to square one" experiments that have been undertaken by other political ideologies with little to no opposition—where is the economic growth that was supposed to have happened as a consequence of the Ryan/Trump tax cuts in 2017?
> > Who builds a pipe gun out of a plastic pipe? It would just blow up in your hands.

> The potato guns I've seen tend to be made from plastic pipes for that reason. PVC is surprisingly strong for these applications. As a teenager, I've built some solid rocket motors with a friend, and we've been using plastic pipes for the same reason.

Mechanical engineer with potato gun experience here. Your statements here are not just wrong, but dangerous. PVC pipe is discouraged for potato guns specifically because of shrapnel:

https://www.spudfiles.com/spud_wiki/index.php?title=PVC_pipe

> One of the main disadvantages of PVC is that it becomes brittle in cold weather, which may lead to chamber failure, especially in pneumatic launchers. When PVC fails under pressure it breaks into sharp shards, which are propelled at high velocity. Because of this danger PVC pipe is not rated for use with pressurized gases, and the use in spudguns is to be regarded as outside of specifications. Shrapnel from failure of PVC can be fatal. The reason PVC does not shatter with water is that water is not compressible, so water stores very little energy. Air is compressible and stores lots of energy. As a result, pressure rated ABS pipe is a better choice for a spudgun, as it is rated for compressed air. You can find it online or at an industrial supply store. There have been reports of serious injury and death from exploding PVC pipe, even at low pressures. Alternative materials, such as ABS, copper, and steel are much better choices.

Potato guns are typically built from PVC pipe because PVC pipe is cheap, PVC pipe is readily available, and most people building potato guns don't know better. The more knowledgeable folks tend to avoid it in my experience. Metal pipe would absolutely be stronger at the typical thicknesses of plumbing pipes.
It's IMO much easier if you don't run complex CNIs, but unfortunately not everyone can afford that :(
If I had the resources the president or a CEO had I would have my assistants print out my emails too and I'm 29 years old, knowing what I know about screen time and mental health. Its healthy to have some separations from technology.
This is HTML5; this doesn't have anything to do with GitHub or Markdown.

Markdown passes through HTML (by default), and HTML5 includes "details". Almost all browsers support it, but IE (even IE 11) does not: https://caniuse.com/#feat=details - whether or not that matters depends on your users/customers. (You may insert your complaints about IE here :-) ).
Vancouver is actually nice to live in, and the price per sqm is high.
To mitigate the price rise during a shortage, I have been thinking about an insurance-type structure. If a supply runs short, there’s a very real need for people to actually produce the product, but that can result in having to call more people in to work, longer hours, overtime, etc. And there’s also the extra cost of delivery.

With an insurance structure in place to provide funds during these situations, it would allow a quicker response without as much of a spike in prices. Companies could draw the funding for these increased costs from the insurance instead.
What the case was about is employee mobility, competition, and the onerous employee agreements with secretive and punitive arbitration clauses that Big Tech forces their employees to sign. So yes, Anthony may have lost his case but that’s because all employees - especially high prized ones like him - are forced into these agreements and play on an uneven playing field. Thankfully there have been recent improvements in easing these when it comes to sexual harrasment, of which Google is a major violator and leading example, but don’t kid yourself the problem is not solved. In all other respects all tech workers are subject to these super stringent employment terms and secretive arbitrations controlled by the tech giants. And if they can try and destroy a big deal employee like Anthony like this, what hope is there for the average tech worker.
At the time when X was first being developed, there simply were no open source alternatives. I used a few of the closed source ones and they were nice enough, but generally available on only a single platform (e.g., HP), which made them fairly useless.

Even if Wayland succeeds, it'll be a long time before it has truly replaced X. In reality, I think it's more likely that both will be (or already have been) been run over by web apps.
In a world where you are expected to solve 2 leetcode medium-hard questions in 30 minutes with no syntax errors and test cases.... I doubt it. The questions come in different forms with optimizations, it's not about memorizing answers it's "pattern matching" and being efficient in implementation.

A partition method would be part of a larger implementation you still have to reason through and talk through. You just remember that the quicksort of the top half starts at pivot+1 instead of pivot, etc. Essentially you eliminate the little mistakes people tend to make when they are nervous
Stablecoins so far are not able to be cryptocurrencies. They involve the oracle problem. No functional cryptocurrency operates w outside data like that.
If you are already spending >$200K per employee, spending another $10K to make them even 10% more productive is a bargain.

Here's an idea - you let people decide - we could call it 'voting'.
It's funny you asked, I'm actually learning a new foreign language this year, and I'm doing just fine without memorizing anything. Based on my method and goals, I'll be able to speak at least 20 languages before the end of next year.
I don’t think I’ve said all jobs will be rockstar you’re the boss type of jobs, but there are certainly a huge amount of inefficiencies in lots of business. I think asking people if they feel like their work is needed or could be automated away is probably the only gauge one might have until actually removing them or trying to automate it. I agree it’s not a perfect metric but it’s got to be correct within some boundary, right? I think that’s the bigger question here, as well if people are qualified to judge (which I would hope since it’s their job). I actually think we need more “horseshit jobs” (great phrase and pun btw I’m going to steal this) in America where in the last 20 years we’ve pushed a lot of them to China and others, such as recycling.
Your right in that the reporting needs a lot of help in this article. It does a terrible job of painting a picture of how the province's welfare works today.

Welfare in Ontario strongly disincentives work. Basic income may not be enough, but the current system is fundamentally broken. It punishes people who do what they can, by cutting them off from the system. So, by working, in many cases people will earn less.

I also would like a break down of the savings the province had on healthcare.

There is a lot of potential in Ontario and we need to help people get there. Health, wellness, education, and supporting those in a bad spot financially are all ways to do that.

Anecdotally, I live just outside of Hamilton, one of the places the trial was run. That city needs help desperately. For Canada's standard, it's in a very very rough place. It needs every bit of help it can get.
You make it sound that everything that may involve an "error", however small (that is, absolutely everything) is "trial and error". This is not what most people mean - I argue that interpretation would make the whole concept meaningless.

In this context, "trial and error" means SpaceX builds things out and tests them in real-life not virtually (as opposed to others that tend to validate things virtually for much longer before actually building stuff).
The modern equivalent of SVGALib is Linux' Direct Rendering Infrastructure.

If you just want fullscreen app, you can run them on top of DRI.

For "a terminal and a browser" at the same time you have to create some sort of protocol for windowed display, and an implementation of one side of that protocol that provides window management, and apps would implement the other side.

People did that. They named the protocole "Wayland", the window management implementation "Weston", and a number of graphical toolkits can target Wayland (GTK, QT, SDL...). Ref: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html#heading_toc_j_2

As a sidenote, if you want to run such a program standalone, fullscreen, can you do that without running a "server" or a "window manager"? IIRC, programs intended for Wayland can run fullscreen on top of plain DRI (or perhaps only SDL provides this facility).
Which leaves room for a more cost effective business to come in and fill the gap in the market left by the inefficient business' death.
By that definition, Hitler was pretty successful.

Yes, learn from your mistakes. No, don't actively go in the wrong direction.
> basic income SHOULD disincentivise work; it's a boost for society, health, well-being, children, etc

Less work means less is produced, so society as a whole becomes poorer. There's simply less goods.

Less produced also shrinks the tax base, so tax rates must be raised to continue to pay for the basic income. Higher taxes would then dissuade more people from working, or leading them also to work less. Now there's more people wanting basic income, so more needs raised......

Sure free money gives some people nicer lives, but in this case it is not free - it is taken from other people. Maybe instead of calling it basic income, call it "larger tax transfers for those not needing it as much as current tax transfer systems."
> Intel CSME firmware also implements the TPM software module, which allows storing encryption keys without needing an additional TPM chip—and many computers do not have such chips.

And that was the real error. The TPM should be a TPM. It could be on die, but it should be an entirely isolated device with its own RAM, no DMA, no modules, and no other funny business.
It's a native iOS app so I would have to start from scratch on Android. I do plan to port it to macOS via Catalyst sometime after the upcoming WWDC which will help some Android users.

I'll note that this is a big pain point for me: although Android users don't pay as much for apps, they help boost word-of-mouth marketing substantially. I see some similar but (tbh) subpar apps get more word-of-mouth online even in recommendations to iOS users just because of the huge signal boost from Android users.
That's the not halting problem. The halting problem is whether or not you can make an algorithm that determines whether a program will halt given the source code and inputs.
Then again, the longer we wait to deploy a vaccine, the more likely a novel strain will emerge and make itself endemic and seasonal like the flu, in need of yearly vaccinations and persistently high CFR.
I'll give it a shot next time I have conflicts, thanks.
And as a society we need to understand that men are facing tons of difficulties women don't face too? Why are men killing themselves at a rate 4-5 times higher than women in the western world? Why is the life expectancy of a male always less than a female?
"Musicians get better by practice and tackling harder and harder pieces, not by switching instruments or genres, nor by learning more and varied easy pieces. Ditto almost every other specialty inhabited by experts or masters."

At some level maybe.

But for most folks I know, there is a plateau that you get to when you only play a single instrument in a single situation.

It is true that if you're intermediate at something, just practicing more will get you further.

But learning piano (and the instrument's linear layout presenting a more visual set of tonal relationships) helped my pedal steel playing immensely.

Learning cello (and the instrument's focus on pitch forced the lack of frets, compared to guitar) immensely helped my harmony singing.

Playing in blues bands that call tunes I've never heard on the fly (which necessitated listening intently to the form and hoping to intuit changes before hearing them) helped my musicianship in more scripted forms because I had to both listen much nore closely to the other players and to develop my music theory chops so I could anticipate changes and develop language to describe common musical passages I needed to play on-the-fly.

I feel like knowing several programming languages and frameworks yields similar kinds of reactive benefits.
Sorry if it was confusing. You need to read into more about how to set up in-cluster multi-tenancy.

We do recommend robust configurations for production setup (e.g. dev, staging and production) however you can certainly squash and skip it if not necessary.

Thanks for the feedback though. We'll consider adding such notes explicitly.
I periodically update my software. It’s worth mentioning that major version updates can frequently bring new unknown security bugs, too.

Also, I generally rely heavily on access controls, so that vulnerable software is only really accessible once strong authentication has been performed. Pretty much tls/ssh endpoints are the only thing exempt from that.
I’m not being clear. I mean that as your nutrition gets worse, your expected lifespan decreases and you are at greater risk of health problems. Again there is no clean dividing line between malnutrition and good nutrition. In fact, in the future we might know so much more about nutrition that many common human diets in 2020 will seem like malnutrition.
Hmm... Not a helpful opinion -- and it bears no resemblance whatsoever to how people live their lives.

Yes it wouldn’t eliminate them. The processes that create them would have to be changed or reformed in some way. The bullshit jobs/UBI argument is more about filling in if/when these jobs are eliminated, that be via automation or process reformation.

I read your comment as sincerely saying that such an arrangement would be "brutal". Looking at your downvotes maybe people think you were being sarcastic?
Sounds efficient to me. I hate reading, and it's painful. Audio is great.
Maybe. What will you do with that free time? Most people will give an answer that depends on having toys they can no longer afford.
This is especially true where the trial was run. Those places are in a bad spot and three isn't much to lift them up.

> I'm happily paying taxes because other people paying taxes put me through college and into my current job

Me too. I came up very poor, but access to a good education allowed me to learn how to code at 16... We need to raise these people up. We are paying the taxes to support it, we just need a government who doesn't misappropriate funds.
TL;DR: There is a tiny window during bootup when any hardware can DMA code or keys in/out of RAM. That allows complete compromise of all protections offered by the chipset, including secure boot, TPM key storage, etc. It is not fixable via a firmware update.

The researchers have not demonstrated a complete end to end attack, but it seems likely one exists.

While this could likely be pulled off easily as a local attack, in some cases it might also be possible to do as a remote attack depending on being able to program other hardware devices to exploit the flaw during a reboot.
You can use NVIDIA cards with Wayland, you just can't use NVIDIA's proprietary driver with wlroots (which is by no means the only Wayland compositor). Wayland is the default in many distributions, and if you're using one of the more common desktop environments, you'll get by just fine when using the proprietary driver.
For some situations whatever the given SaaS is ... that is that given department's business.

I wonder if this isn't as much as "is it done on a computer... probabbly a SaaS involved" and ... how many people aren't doing their business on a computer?
The accounts typically have sign up bonuses, not fees. I got $125 bonus for signing up. The catch is typically that they require usage of the bank debit card N times per month. The github link is a program I wrote to hit that requirement by buying 50 cent Amazon gift cards and paying cable bills in small increments.

You'll never net more than $1000/year in one of these accounts given they have balance limits. Some folks sign up for multiple high interest checking accounts in order to park more money.
Trying to distill 'child rearing' to $15k/year and calling it a 'waste of talent' is absurd. Not everything can (and should) be broken down into a monetary amount and optimized for.

You can classify anything as a 'waste of talent' when looking through this lens. Are you a software engineer? If so, then doing literally anything apart from developing software is a 'waste of talent'. Cleaning dishes? Gardening? Exercising?
> All studies so far show a pretty consistent ~10% work disincentive. This is what all the detractors say when they say it disincentivizes work.

Most of these studies aren't done independent of existing means-tested government benefits. Then the UBI amount in itself is typically not enough to disqualify from eligibility for means-tested benefits, but a UBI plus a job would phase out nearly everything.

So you have on the one hand more subsidy living on the UBI plus existing government benefits than you would if the UBI would replace existing government benefits, and on the other hand still all the same disincentive to work of the existing system because taking a job results in the loss of government benefits, which results in a very high de facto tax rate and corresponding disincentive to work.
If we find organisms on Mars, we need to first prove they belong to a separate tree of life. It's known that asteroids like the one that killed the dinosaurs could have seeded planets and moons across the solar system.
Go doesn't use a generated parser. Both the parser and the lexer are hand-written:

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/go/parser/parse...

https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/go/scanner/scan...

Why did you think it was generated?
No, the problem is that I can design programs that fool any general algorithm A you produce. Even small programs. You can't fool my brain though for the same programs. Therefore my brain transcends general algorithms.
