> Your evidence for that claim is that you yourself had a similar wage, over a decade ago, with additional family support, and other benefits (eg no healthcare costs).

And more than double the rent. That's the part y'all seem to be ignoring, and is the exact part that makes my situation comparable and - IMO - worth presenting. If you disagree, can you at least articulate why paying that much more in rent somehow doesn't matter?

That doubling in rent is greater in dollar value than the slightly-higher wages + the occasional Costco run from family. If anything, my income minus rent was lower than the $10/hr minus $500/month situation originally presented and to which I responded ($970 v. $1100, respectively, when factoring in that support from family; this assumes 40 hours per week and a 4-week month). And that's assuming zero taxes (which wasn't the case, especially since this was in California).

> I’m sure you struggled as well, but that doesn’t give you the right to speak for the experience of something you’ve clearly never experienced for yourself.

To be clear here, I don't mean to invalidate your experience, either. My only intent is to describe a situation that IMO is comparable to the one originally presented. If it's not comparable, then fine, but I remain unconvinced when the best that people can do is entirely neglect to read what I wrote and then assume that I was totally paid for and expense-free.

It does sound like your situation was worse than mine and the originally-presented one

> It’s a survivable wage at best

Which is really the only point I was trying to make. Living on that sort of a wage sucks, but it is possible, and it's better than nothing. I strongly believe that human labor is worth more than some measly $10 or $12 per hour, and should be paid accordingly, regardless of whether or not it's technically possible to survive on such a low wage.

That said, "survivable" does definitionally mean "livable". The trouble is that "livable" ain't really enough for class mobility.
Yeah, that's only slightly more than my roommates paid for a 2 bedroom in LA.

> and if you are logging sensitive information you’ll get in trouble.

This is one of the areas, where strong types can help you. Have all your sensitive information in separate types from your non-sensitive info. For example, if you store the user's name in a type called SensitiveString, you can write methods/traits/overloads/etc that can either make it a compile time error to log a a value of that type, or log a placeholder - ie "SenstiveInfoHidden*". This also helps ensure that you don't accidentally assign or append sensitive information to a non-sensitive variable. Put the compiler and type system to work for you.
I wonder how you even calculate that?

Is a single screw a part? Is the whole engine a part, or made of lots of parts? How far do you break each thing down until it’s a single part? Is it when it can’t be taken apart without cutting something? Could you get past that rule by just welding the things made by cheap workers together? So they are no longer seperate parts?

I have so many questions.

You could say 40% vehicle parts by mass but that doesn’t seem to capture the intent well either.

This is an apt reminder that the question is not "how likely is it that backdoor keys will be leaked/stolen?", but rather "how soon until the first backdoor keys are leaked/stolen, and how frequently after that?"

And to make it much worse, we would now also have to ask "how soon until the required systemic weaknesses themselves are used an attack vector for a mass breach?".

Just for a moment, ignore all arguments about citizens' rights to privacy, potential for abuse by the organizations authorized to access the secrets (and their many fallible and corruptible employees), and so on. Of course all that _is_ important, but just for the sake of argument, ignore it. The problem remains that if anything resembling the "EARN IT" bill passes, then attacks against encryption will _scale too effectively_, and the USA will have exposed itself to having the secrets of thousands of politicians and civil servants leaked to an adversary at once. What do you think happens to democracy when that happens?

I get that many people are short-sighted, or even simply apathetic to the long-term consequences of a law that might make their job easier today. But it seems that whenever computers are involved, lawmakers become _so_ incredibly short-sighted that it verges on madness.

Consider this: a bill requiring a small GPS and remote-controlled bomb to be installed in the engine of every car would allow the police to entirely avoid dangerous high-speed pursuits. If it could be done cheaply enough, should it be done? It's pretty easy to understand the myriad ways this could be abused, so it would never happen. But add computers to the mix, and suddenly any kind of foresight goes out the window.
We had already had created this anonymous favicon service for our private search engine. In addition, doing it this way avoids another request (and potentially multiple) to the end site.

The service is private as we do not collect any personal information (e.g. IP addresses) on any requests for this or any service and the requests are all end-to-end encrypted.
This doesn't seem to be correct. According to the press releases from the Moldovan Prosecutor-General's office, the factory is "in a locality in the Criuleni District", so it's in territory controlled by the Moldovan government. But several individuals associated with this operation, including its leader, live in territory that the Moldovan government does not control (i.e. in Transnistria). This latter complication is specifically mentioned.

Are you only aiming for big, FAANG like companies?

Many small(er) companies will not bother with things like algorithm questions. Most companies I have interviewed at will have a coding assignment, usually timeboxed to 3-4 hours, where you build something relevant (eg I applied for a fullstack position; I had to build a todo-like app with a back and front-end). These are all small orgs, usually between 10-30 people. They have less resources and less applicants.

You may want to consider the companies you are applying to; any big orgs with crazy comp will have endless amounts of applicants, and a good way to filter them down without actually spending any time/resources is things like leetcode.

If you are dead-set on a big, FAANG like company, you will probably need to start grinding out leetcode (as you have seen , they love it). Either expand your search criteria, or start grinding coding problems.

One thing that comes to my mind (note: I do not support this view) but I am trying to put myself into the opposite party's shoes:

- Listing videos of police brutality during protests without also listing videos of protestors brutally attacking the police perhaps creates a dissonance to the counter party?

I think there have been a few incidents were cops were attacked but they are far and few between, but listing those would help clear the accussation of hypocrisy.

Furthermore, I personally think that we should separate police brutality videos in normal civic life (before the protests began) to gather evidence of systemic violence vs. the enraged/emotionally outraged protests that both sides were not willing to concede. I categorize them as different.
> FWIW, I don't think gross receipts is not a very efficient tax, since it just encourages vertical integration and discourages multiple companies working together; ie. less competition. Unfortunately, Prop 13 prevents the economically efficient and fair source of revenue

They are buying fixed income ETFs which is basically corporate debt. This is very very different than buying equity.

Certainly buying corporate debt is a bit stretching the Fed mandate but going to equities would arguably be illegal.

In practice this means that, since no one (including the chair) has read the rules, people go asking the lawyer (who might remember the rules) or they call for a staff member who has (hopefully, but probably doesn't) a copy of the book to sit around and try to dig through and find something related to figure out the answer to whatever esoteric argument people are having about what motion can currently be considered and why. Meanwhile, nothing is getting done, the board is getting bored, and the audience/public has no clue what is going on but has become increasingly confident that government isn't something they have any hope of understanding or influencing, and maybe shouldn't even exist :(.
Right, I am sure I have a first impression, which could be good or bad, and that impression does inform my later views. However, just objectively I know for a fact that I declined some candidates I initially liked and I hired a few people who initially was super shy/not communicative.
It’s still deteriorating to a position above where it should be.

The US has caused so much uncountable suffering with its middle east policy, half the country is obese due in part to taking advantage of the dollar reserve status, and its politicians with Wall St. sold out most of the American workers for a quick buck (now these workers are all killing themselves with drugs or from joining the military to protect other countries borders).

Reputation needs to drop much more to reflect the situation.

Various sources put the cost of living as the same in the US as in France: https://www.worlddata.info/cost-of-living.php

> - Education is free.

K-12 education is free in the US. The majority of people in both countries don’t go to college. College costs are mainly an issue for middle and upper middle class people.

> - Basic healthcare is free. Little known fact is that private coverage is mandatory in France and paid out of pocket. It's double digits a month instead of three in the US.

The ACA heavily subsidizes healthcare for low income people in the US. Our hypothetical person making $10/hour pays $0-75/month for insurance in ACA states.

> The rent for a 2 bedrooms in the top major cities (toulouse/lyon with one million inhabitants and jobs) is 600-700 euro I'd say.

American cities are poorly managed, and a much smaller percentage of Americans live in cities. But a 2BR in say Memphis, which has 500,000 people, can be had for $700-1,000.

> The same rent in deep countryside with no jobs could be closer to 400 euro. Rents typically don't go below 400 (or 300 each for shared) because there are many too subsidies and benefits for people in need. I don't know what is clear lake iowa to compare, is it small city or truly the middle of nowhere?

Clear Lake is a small tourist town in the middle of nowhere, which makes it a bit more expensive. You can rent a 4BR house in nowhere Michigan for $500/month.

Here is my attempt [1]. I find it incredibly difficult to motivate rationally and constructively the way I feel though. At times wondering if I am best ignored for the good of the community overall. What you are reading is my third attempt at a response is that thread. The first one ended up being some sort of long-winded mixture of a philosophical/technical monologue, the second one a simple statement of “I disagree, but I can not articulate why”, the last attempt is what you read and I think I finally have arrived at the core of the issue for me which is consent. Is there any good write up anywhere on this? I feel like I just joined the FOSS camp about 20 years ago and that this has shielded me from ever having to lay out exactly why I want a future with more and more anonymity on all fronts.

"Quién es más macho?"

In a very short time, transformers have gone from under 1B, to 1.5B, to 3B, to 5B, to 175B, and now 600B parameters. 1T is only, what, like 67% more parameters, and therefore likely to be achieved in the short term. In fact, the authors of this paper tried 1T but ran into numerical issues that they will surely address soon. Not long after someone crosses 1T, expect 10T to become the next target. And why not? The best-funded AI research groups are in a friendly competition to build the biggest, baddest, meanest m-f-ing models the world has ever seen.

Scores continue to increase with diminishing returns, which is all fine and nice, but more importantly it seems we should expect to see machine-generated text getting much better from a qualitative standpoint -- that is, becoming less and less distinguishable from a lot of human output. That has been the trend so far.

We live in interesting times.
Quit coffee 3 years ago, one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

Since coffee is pretty much universally accepted in the world (even more so than alcohol), one can easily view a strong coffee habit as normal, or at worst a benign vice. And it's fine as far as addictions go; you can ride the caffeine wave to increased productivity, and when the effects wear off another cup of liquid inspiration is there waiting. I did this for close to 15 years.

What bothered me was this feeling of being ruled by the habit. I simply had to have my two jam packed triple espresso lattes (or equivalent when not at home), one in the morning, and one in the afternoon; there was never serious consideration given to the thought, "I know, let's not have coffee this weekend", just a steamroller habit with me along for the ride.

Ironically what got me to quit coffee (and I had no intention of doing so) was a "retreat" in Mexico where one of the requirements was following a strict diet 2 days before and 4 days after the experience. One of the restrictions was no coffee, which part of me was strongly resisting, to the point of considering withdrawing (hah) from something I'd already spent several hundred dollars for.

In the end I went ahead with it. On the 4th day after the retreat I was free, and commenced preparing a strong pot of rocket fuel, but then something within me realized, "wait, I don't need this anymore".

And I don't, at all. Coffee is the devil made liquid -- proceed with caution :)

Instant coffee isn't even that bad. And that Korean whipped coffee has been making the social media rounds, it doesn't take much in resources or gadgets to make.

I wonder if it's maybe a cultural thing. Where I grew up in the United States it would be almost unheard of not to own a coffee pot. But I've also worked with people (from parts of Asia, in particular) where they didn't know how to operate a drip coffee maker and only kept instant around, despite how much coffee they would drink every day.
I can’t speak to helicopters, but light aircraft engines tend to run at 80% of peak; peak is only used for takeoff and go around, to my knowledge. (Not a pilot)

> Putting this logic in the client is not feasible.

> You want to send requests directly to every shady site that shows up in your search results, load their pages in the background, work through network delays and HTTP errors, and parse out the location/format of the favicon files?

Looking at DuckDuckGo search results and visiting a page that you navigate to are two different things.

1. DuckDuckGo search results:

DDG already returns the search results so there's no privacy violation to return the favicon or the URL for the favicon in the list.

2. Any page that isn't a DDG search results page:

Use client side logic to locate the favicon. This means worse performance but better privacy - which aligns with DDG's goals.

If you want to optimise this then DDG could send the client some precalculated Bloom filters with info about known sites. The client could use these to try certain methods of favicon retrieval first.

I mean, come on. Are they shocked? Or is this how the townies want it? My impression is that quite a lot of the "natives" who think of themselves as "True Bostonians(TM)" (ie: not just those of us who've lived here for years, married someone raised here, and own property here) want this place to be the world's most populous (but rather restrictive) college town.

Why would they want more people around to ruin their city by walking around doing things? Come, spend your money like a tourist, fuel their businesses, get your degree if you're one of those workaholic nerds, and get the fuck back out. You can come back eventually if you manage to make the tenure track!
Clearly you couldn't even feed the planet without the transportation network necessary to distribute the food. Nor could you even grow it. Modern agriculture depends on fertilizer, which is made from mined materials. Farms are run with fossil fuel powered equipment. The quality of life and the length of life extended dramatically with the advent of the automobile and electricity (also fossil fuel powered). We wouldn't even be having this discussion right now. Not even to mention the serendipitous effects of expanding human horizons beyond what could be traveled by horse, which alone is a substantial achievement and led to more discoveries and human connection than I can even fathom. Without transport and communication there would be no modern era, no internet, no tech sector. Just an extension of the 19th century.

>but the answer to that shouldn't have been to remove it before an open alternative was established

An open alternative was available - HTML5 games were possible before Chrome started disabling Flash by default. Smartphones and social media really killed the market for online browser games - you really don't seem them anymore other than .io games. For anyone developing games, the return is far greater in the app store vs. online. Ad Revenue, if your name isn't Google/Facebook is a joke. I can't imagine why anyone would develop a browser game today when the App Store exists.
This! I have a highly underpowered laptop (which I bought brand new but at a very low cost for travel purposes) that I just didn't know what to do, because it was so damn annoying and awkward for any personal use. The keyboard was quite awkward. The trackpad was even worse. The display was so basic that even I didn't want to use it for YouTube/Netflix. The CPU... well you get the point.
Finally, just a few weeks ago, I thought that I would really like to build a Linux server and thought of my Raspberry Pi 3. I remembered that I would need to connect an external HDD to make it even halfway useful for data storage. I would also need to find a USB wifi adapter (because my home setup currently isn't wired).
Then I looked at this laptop which had been collecting dust for like 2 years. I realized it was perfect for my needs: has a 1 TBB HDD (not SSD) and a built-in wifi adapter. I installed Lubuntu (one of the least resource intensive distros) and then started installing numerous services on it: Nextcloud, IRC bouncer, SMB server. I only have Nextcloud running at the moment as it's the only thing I've been able to make serious use out of, but it just works.. perfectly.
