> 3. Most "good" programmers move to the high-income countries

It might be interesting to look at the `N_programmers * AVG_salary` for various countries. Maybe no explanation is needed for disparities if most programmers aren't affected by them because they've all moved to where the high salaries are. Though I doubt this is an explanation.

Also, let's check back on this a year and two and three from now, when we've fully absorbed the impact of covid-19 shutdowns on the knowledge industry.
And this is all _before_ evictions and foreclosures are allowed to start again. With the number of people already behind on rent and the number of people paying rent on credit cards it could get really ugly without any policy to mitigate this.
Savings rates are through the roof right now, I would worry more about a deflation spiral.
Yes, I find it rather sad too, but not as an immutable thing. I think that we have the capacity to move towards a better direction.

I am thinking that education has a lot of potential. We could experiment with and introduce some form of early psychology of self discovery to children in schools, something basic to help them learn to reflect. That would guide more people towards self fulfillment and a lot of these problems would simply disappear.
I’m guessing it loads and graphs all the data with SVG? Lots of data points and DOM elements.
But do you actually believe police didn't suspect there was a crime? The video doesn't suggest that to me at all. Like this other person wrote [1], it doesn't seem unlikely that they were ordered to disperse or something under some public safety law and refused. (Or, I guess, you could say the reporter just didn't hear it and missed the memo. Doesn't really change it from the officer's perspective though.)

I agree. I worked in some American companies (in US) and did not like the oppressive environment. Now I am back in Central Asia, where I was born, and the employers are way more relaxed here.
The libertarian argument generally goes that competition will keep them all in check, but history has shown again and again how it doesn't work in the general case.

If you want to see what small government/strong corporate control is like, look back a century in American history. Corporations controlled much more of American life than they do even now, and the 20th century regulatory state is all very much a direct response to all that.

Lot less time to go surfing back then, too.
That's great to hear. Having battled webrtc in the past it sounds like your team is doing a great job!
It works for Mac

brew install gphoto2
brew install ffmpeg --with-ffplay
gphoto2 --abilities
# Abilities for camera : Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control)
# ...
gphoto2 --stdout --capture-movie | ffmpeg -i - -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -threads 0 -f matroska - | ffplay -

I'm piping it to ffplay,so this will at least let you test your camera or you could also use it in OBS as a window source. Also, make sure your cameras usb mode is not set to "mass storage" but to a “Remote Camera Control”.
The 1st amendment covers freedom of assembly as well.

> Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Press implies covering events and publishing about them. If that's not convincing enough, they spell it out in right to assemble, anyways. A press corps can assemble to cover events.
Or worse: BAML had a great piece recently that QEternity (cough) has actually stoked deflation by reducing low-risk asset yields to zero, which forces many savers to save more as relatively risk-free income disappears, which lowers consumption and thus inflation, prompting more QE...rinse and repeat.
I sense that Mark may be using his employees to play good cop bad cop in front of the media. But in reality, they all unanimously want censorship. Censorship would give Facebook a huge amount of power. Why would Mark not want that?
There are a lot of different people out there who get shocked over different things.

And writing for the 10-30% of people who think that incentives matter more than innate character - we don't need people to be sensitised and spring loaded to be shocked. These growth of these problems has been a visible trend for my entire lifetime and longer if you buy arguments like those presented in, say, The Rise of the Warrior Cop.

Anyone who gets shocked by trends that have been around for that long is either very new to this, or part of the problem. The solution is less shock, more reform to promote basic principles of equality, freedom and prosperity.
Why don't you just plainly state what your goal is: Top down control of the political discourse by the left.
Here is a similar site which I built for members of the House of Representatives:

Unfortuntely i think you need to use both Audio Hijack and Loopback together. It's a combo from same developer.

It's quality software but a bit unintuitive how to set this up. First you create virtual audio source in loopback then with audio hijack you can route adjusted audio to this source you can't route to normal outputs. Also you need to have hijack turned on "record" for the effects to work.

But after that it works pretty well and you can add pretty cool things like... you can record both raw input and procesed input and route to your destination at the same time. Or you can mix in other apps like music into recording/routing.

Sidenote I've also tried BlackHole and unfortunately didn't have too much luck with it. It somehow worked as Loopback alternative but i think Loopback / Hijack share same audio drivers/code so integration seems smoother.
You act as if highly-trained professionals don't ever disagree.
That's what my comment's GP proposed. I understand my comment's parent to be asking about just attaching yourself to an asteroid.
Or deflation, a bigger worry as consumers might be expecting lower prices in the future and delaying purchases. Leading to a deflationary spiral.
But rich people are not charged because they are rich. They are charged because they have insurance. And it is insurance that has led to this bizarre situation where the free market is completely broken and you can't confidently put a price number to a medical product or service.

If almost everyone was paying for their medical care out of their own pocket we would not be in this situation. And there are plenty of other countries where this is the case. In India for example, individual doctors literally have a board with a list of what they charge for various services, and if you visit a hospital, someone at the reception would be happy to help you with these.

You want a general ward? Here's the price. You want a private air-conditioned room with five-star catered meals, here is the price.
> Sigh. They were not giving zinc supplements.

Check the supplementary data. There were confounding factors, but a group of patients took zinc, and there is no difference between the two groups.

Bear in mind that this study has no say on the use as a treatment.
It's difficult to see this article from that perspective given the clear mendacity and sleight of hand at play from Zuckerberg.

It's not like a Facebook feed is the deterministic result of a given user's subscriptions to friends and businesses, as if Facebook were a kind of user-friendly clone of a FOSS mailing list. Facebook engineers the contents of the feed in a way that is typically inscrutable to the user, and often harmful-- driving division and filter bubbles in order to keep up engagement. It's democratic in exactly the same way that Las Vegas would be democratic if you removed every single regulation on the gambling industry there.

So I'm perfectly happy to concede that even in a system designed with dark patterns to eat as much users' attention as possible-- well past the scant value they receive from using that system-- it'd be even worse to censor the POTUS account. But I highly doubt that's the kind of reasoned defense you're talking about. Any Facebook employee uttering that knows the next question coming is why they work for a company that employs so many dark patterns to generate so much anger and misinformation among its userbase.

Edit: clarification
Some portion of AI companies are likely a bunch of lawyers and bullshit. Whenever someone talks about all the companies jumping on some software hype train, I think about this post written on HN some time back [0], and I imagine that at least half of the buisnesses on that hype train fit that description.

Sure, why not? It is illegal for police to enforce laws on certain public officials in certain circumstances. IIRC members of congress can't be stopped for a traffic violation on the way to a vote, or something like that.

The ancient Romans didn't allow prosecution of some public officials while in office for a similar reason. Their courts could too easily be abused as a political tool.

It's not unreasonable to leave public officials unmoderated while they're in office.

The real problem here is that we're letting private companies make the decision. We should pass a law that requires unrestricted free speech on any platform of a certain size. And then give users optional moderation tools. Users could toggle a button that says "Show me fact-checking along side controversial topics" but it would all have to be opt-in.
If there is no spike in infections within two weeks, from areas which had large public protests in the past week, can millions of Americans be helped by restarting the economy?
It looks like there's a copy in the library of congress [1]. Unclear how one would go about making a copy.

Damn. I was really looking forward to that game. I love KSP but the original is so janky with memory leaks / slowdown / physics craziness, the bigger the mission you try, the less fun it is. The same game but with its own custom-made engine learning from the previous game would have been great.

Anyway no way I can buy it now and support that.. Also even if I just pirate it, its probably gonna turn out shite anyway now with giant publisher running everything.
For those of us here who receive stock compensation, you can donate that directly too! If the stock has long term capital gains, the tax savings can let you donate even more.

Guy has what looks like a luxury truck and is apparently having trouble deciding between food and his car payment.

Sell the car, get a cheap used beater, reduce expenses, keep looking for a job. Not sure what NPR wants me to take from this example.
I could be wrong, but based on the README this looks like it just sets speaker volume based on position - which is neat, but is not quite positional audio.

And once you got in the car it would lock the doors and keep you a prisoner.

An Apple EV would only charge from Certified Apple electricity. Hell, Jobs would have required an Apple ICE to only accept fuel from an Apple gas station.
Yeah, but it has a downside. You can be recorded so you have to act as if what you are saying is going to be publicly available in the Internet forever.
Meng is Chinese, the analogy works perfectly. HSBC is an entity from a third-party country.
It's safe, I promise. The browser sandbox is quite good. :)
Or perhaps the opposite. They could have designed a motor and battery package which other manufacturers could build into their own designs.

Thus they would get a start into electric vehicles without needing to invest in the entire production process. From there move to a Dyson branded car manufactured by one of their partners (designed by Dyson in collaboration with their partner) and then, if worthwhile, step up to manufacturing the entire car themselves.
We would be upset. The difference is the US has more power here, so it wins. That's how international diplomacy works. It's realpolitik all the way down.
>He says a call center worker told him that he didn't qualify for any help because he was late on a car payment last year. When NPR contacted Ford, the company said that is not its policy. And after reviewing the case, the company is now letting Baird skip his next car payment, which he says is a big help.

It appears Ford operates on the Google customer service spectrum of only helping those who can gain support of public outcry.

What I would like to see is a response from Ford that they will open an investigation to review everyones requests which have been denied for skipping payment.
Car payments don't work like that.

And that's not even addressing the fact that the entire country went into economic free fall, so "Just sell the X" isn't quite the advice it used to be.
Hey! I was trying to do this a while back, and couldn't make it work.

I followed the instructions in your post, and (Although it didn't work upfront) gave me the will to make it work ;)

Little advice: I fixed my set up by finding the correct v4l2 device, because video0 was already assigned. If you run:

v4l2-ctl --list-devices

it will tell you where v4l2 is plugged in your machine, in order to enter the correct command (That was the only part missing for my puzzle) as if you already have a webcam in your computer it will already /dev/video0 assigned, and the gphoto | ffmpeg piping gives too cryptic messages (It complains about the formats not being correct, while it should complain about it not being a v4l2 device)
/home/content has a bunch of base folders:
Code and Projects have version controlled content
Documents, Images, and Video are media with subfolders by type
Music has mostly ogg files organized by artist and album
Sounds is samples and noises
Mail mirrors my email folders
Sites has local copies of web apps
Packages has archives, tarballs, zips
In that case you stop doing business in that jurisdiction.
Category theory is supposed to be one such tool, even though some find it very abstract. It's very much in the spirit of finding analogies among theories and analogies among analogies. (I swear I'm not trolling :P) I'm still working on my understanding of category theory, but somebody who has the mathematical fortitude might enjoy: http://groupoids.org.uk/pdffiles/Analogy-and-Comparison.pdf

In general better abstractions(similar ideas as in a recent discussion of Peter Naur's "Programming as theory building").
A lot of the comments here are about investors. Think about it this way as well: if you were an engineer, would you work for Skilling? Hell, if you were anyone that did anything, would you work for him?
> Press implies covering events and publishing about them.

I don't think it implies that covering events has some kind of immunity. It's still subject to any general restriction on the assembly. The government can impose restrictions on the time, place, and manner of peaceful assembly, provided that constitutional safeguards are met. See https://www.loc.gov/law/help/peaceful-assembly/us.php
Don't worry, it isn't true in theory either. Courts don't give a shit about that sort of high-minded honorableness.

Why, the existence of anti-SLAPP laws comes directly out of courts not caring how they're weaponized by well-monied people bullying not-monied people. That's literally the point of anti-SLAPP laws.

GP's claim makes no sense with even the dimmest awareness of the court system.
Why is that disappointing?

That's the "pro" of going with an established company - having reliably high compensation.

The "pro" of going with a startup is the low chance of exceptional pay and the fulfilling work.

> Globalism made the very poor in China/Mexico/etc. richer, created their middle class and it made the very rich in US/EU even richer at the cost of US/EU middle class.

This point bears repeating until they finally take it into account when discussing inequality. It's honestly tiring to have to repeat this every time

Minor nitpick: I'd call it globalization, not globalism, as the latter has historically meant something else and currently means something terrible

No abortion questions, but I do have a 3-4 absurd questions in rotation, just to spice things up :)

- Would you rather have someone secretly give you LSD on a random day once every 6 months or make everyone in the world take LSD all at the same time once every 5 years?

- Would you rather have taste buds on your butthole or poop through your mouth?

- Would you rather have sex with Donald Trump in secret, or not have sex with him but everyone thinks you did?
Hiring is very slow at the moment and the beater would likely require a lot of maintenance and have a high price tag although I agree that it’s smart to drive cars that are more economical.
You should try another microUSB cable - my first microUSB cable did not work because it was charging-only.
Lockdowns are effective as tourniquets, but indefinite or long term use was never logical. There should have been more forward-thinking and pragmatic options pushed earlier. We will now see the natural repercussions of lockdown-centered policies.
You may be biased as a WFH/silicon valley type (continuing to produce income despite shelter at home). The median checking account balance was $3,400 in 2019, and that was before COVID19 struck.

There's a lot of people who were already barely hanging on, and now covid and demonstrations have pulled the rug out from under them.

We're only 2 months in. Things will get worse before they get better.

Many people finance expensive cars with no money down and are immediately underwater on their loan. In a situation like that, you can’t offload your vehicle easily without also coughing up thousands to cover the difference between the car’s sell value (who is even buying right now?) and the cars loan balance.
Most of the folks I've spoken to don't agree with Zuck's position, which I find disappointing and unsurprising.

Facebook and to a lesser extent other big social media is in an impossible position.

In my opinion: “Over time, in general we tend to add more policies to restrict things more and more,” he said. “If every time there’s something that’s controversial your instinct is, okay let’s restrict a lot, then you do end up restricting a lot of things that I think will be eventually good for everyone.” is right on target.

I don't mean to understate or under-appreciate the damage and impact various posts can and do have. This one post by Trump will likely cause tangible harm.

There are absolutely no unambiguously good and correct decisions here. Facebook and the others are in completely uncharted waters.
Sorry, I mis-wrote that due to an editing mistake, and it's too late to edit the comment now.

Unlikely. A fair number of people are multiple payments/rent behind, not to mention still missing their unemployment checks.
> "Apply the same standards to all."

Do you honestly not realize that this is the exact issue being debated? Whether the "standards" are being applied fairly and consistently irrespective of political affiliations? And whether the "standard" itself is loaded to censor certain relatively mainstream but not Silicon Valley viewpoints?

What you're saying reminds me of an anti-gay marriage argument I heard: "Hey, I'm straight and I don't have the right to marry a man. A gay guy doesn't have the right to marry a man either. Look at that: the same standard applies to all. Everything is fair!"

I'm not particularly aligned to either democrats or republicans, but I've looked at "fact-checks" by supposedly neutral parties and they're often absolute garbage. Not only is the "research" superficial, what is chosen to be fact-checked vs. what isn't fact-checked is transparently biased. The "same standard" does not appear to be applied to all.

Given the debatable nature of these questions, I think common sense would say it's better to let voters and the marketplace of idea arbitrate rather than social media companies. And, as a general matter, I'm shocked people are still so into censoring in 2020. Isn't censoring books/ideas/speech something we laugh at given how consistently wrong it tends to be? I'd say censoring is silly at best and evil at worst.

My father's Dyson vacuum is like 15+ years old. He hid it in the trunk of his car during the divorce. Still enjoys using it. I have a battery powered stick vacuum that's 4+ years old by now and still runs great.
Strictly personal observation.

I was a press photographer when I was a student as a side job, shooting film.

I used to like early mobile phone photos because their (horrendous) defects and imperfections could be used to their advantage. Part of their charm. Somewhat like 'toy' camera such as the Holga.

Now that phones are getting real good, I never use them. I like the tactile feel of my (compact) camera and for now the phone is no match for the glass. And for me, especially in print, the difference is still enormous.

I don't have a particular bone to pick. If you enjoy shooting pics then do so.
One could interpret that as "one of the most popular newly-available cars"? If I understand correctly, Model 3 only became available to buy in the UK mid-2019. It's an odd reading, but not impossible.
