Exactly. Minimum wage jobs should be jobs that require little skill. They should be easy to train people for, and employers should expect a high turn over rate as their employees find better jobs.

Unfortunately, that is not how things work in the real world. Many people simply have been unable to find better paying jobs. And the old way of working your way through college doesn't work. Both because college is so expensive, and because it no longer guarantees a high paying career.

Plus there are people who have just had life screw up everything for them. Whether because they made bad choices or just suffered the consequences of someone elses bad choices.

So what can we change? I'd argue that raising the minimum wage will do little to help. I remember someone, who overall supported that idea, reporting that their research showed the long term effect would be negligible since the cost of goods would just go up until the buying power of the minimum wage was back where it started.

I also think the focus on the minimum wage is because it is a simple idea and politicians can use it to gain votes.

I think the real solution is going to be complicated, and take decades. It would include strengthening peoples support structures.

As in when you need help, you have a family or group of friends who help you. I think current American culture encourages broken families and the idea that your friends should go to the government first. Not to you.

Also, as a Christian, I firmly believe the Church in America should be a LOT more active in this area. We do good work a lot of the time, but we can do a lot better.

Then there's education and choosing a career. Currently everyone goes to college. End result is that a degree doesn't mean anything any more, and people who choose to forgo college can be looked down upon. A cultural change that addresses that is need. (See MikeRoweWorks for some ideas.)

And we need a restructuring of our current welfare systems. I remember seeing data showing that the government spends something like $60,000 a year on each recipient. Then I see the private non-profits that get people into life long careers on budgets much smaller than that. What's that definition of insanity? ;)

Anyway, just a few thoughts. I don't believe I have all the answers, just that it is a very complicated problem, and we shouldn't let politicians and activists buy our votes with overly simplified ideas like "raise the minimum wage."
And the people who don't go and find a new job will replace you in the market place. It's natural selection.

Yes the higher error ones are used for alignment- and even then too high an error rate in a very repetitive region (especially depending on the error type - misreads vs skipped bases etc) make it too challenging to build a scaffold to align your illumina reads.

As of 2018 error rate for alignments with nanopore was around 3-6 percent

Not the GP, but while the UI leaves something to be desired (it’s Eclipse-based), I’ve found it’s a very productive tool once you figure things out. ER diagrams, graphical ways to update data, extensive ways to export/import data, DB metrics dashboards, lots of useful tools and features.

When prices are capped, it's not like supply increases, so in practice you end up with waiting lists that can be several months to years long.

I knew people who moved from Stockholm to Berlin and kept on paying their rent in Stockholm, just so they don't lose their apartment. That's how hard it is to get one.

Berlin also had a rent cap, so instead of competing on price, you had to compete on intangibles like: letters of recommendation from previous landlords, proof of income and good conduct, having a high-profile job, nationality, etc.

Since supply is low, demand is sky-high and prices are capped, you had 30-40 people applying for the same apartment.
Add the fact that once a landlord takes you in, there is almost no way that they can kick you out and you will end up with a very complicated and long vetting process that doesn't exactly favor the working class folks.

Also, you can end up with other costly requirements like: the landlord will only choose a tenant who buys all the furniture in the house. That's one example of an unregulated cost increase that is not affected by the rent cap.
"unsound" has a particular definition that is separate from what people have issue with here; in Rust parlance, there's nothing unsound about the `as` operator choosing to saturate or overflow etc., because that has no ability to break the guarantees provided by the type system.

As for requiring an additional speedbump (like e.g. a "lossy" label) here to guard against misuse, I think this proposal is overlooking something: Rust can't just abruptly break all code that currently uses `as` in order to demand that something like `lossy as` be used instead. Any removal would have to first have a very long period where `lossy as` is syntactically valid and where the compiler instead warns for people using raw `as`. But if the compiler is already emitting a mere warning for `as` that suggests a better alternative, then it could just as easily suggest a method like `.try_into()`, which exists today. And once you're having the compiler warn about changing `as` into something else, that's already indistinguishable from deprecating `as` in those instances, so there's no point trying to avoid it.
Oh, ok. I think it would be doable. If you're the head of all of IT, I would find positions or advisors for software, hardware, and security. Something like 'software process champion' or the subdivision head of software. Hopefully there are knowledgeable people internally that could fill that type of role.

I think the most important thing as a leader is creating a network of advisors to give you thoughtful advice, and then being able to weigh the options and even synthesize your own. There are plenty of consultants and research groups (Gartner etc) that can also be helpful in large-scale transformations.
I haven’t tried devices. I mainly do MM3 (andre’s method) and MM2. It took me quite some time to learn how to tug effectively.

Results are very slow and I started from a very tight cut. I’m still not even at a “loose cut” level so I have quite a bit left to go.

Not sure if you’ve heard of it, but red light therapy makes a big difference in the rate of tissue expansion.

I think adding RLT to manual methods will drastically improve your results. Just a couple sessions of fairly high intensity RLT a day does wonders.

Yes, this is horrible and no, from a utilitarian perspective this does not make sense. You are basically argueing for chemical castration. This is exactly the kind of medicalization attitude which is very dangerous. The correct way isn't pumping our youth full with hormones or other chemicals, but giving them sufficient therapy and care and by ensuring that their environment in jail accommodates for a safe return into society, instead of turning juvinele youth into professional criminals and joining prison gangs.

>All you need for algotrading is to query an api. Rust would be a poor choice for that anyways, like using a semi truck to carry your bike around.

That's not really true. It's more pulling from a database or csvs as backtesting is the most important part, which is also why the person you were replying to was asking about backtesting specifically.

Most firms roll out their own programming language, because before Rust existed there wasn't really a language that was a good choice for algo trading. Algo trading needs a few things:

1) It needs a financial number data type. That is, base 10 precision. Floats and doubles will not cut it when dealing with money.

2) The language needs to not implicitly do type conversions, so your types do not accidentally get converted to doubles.

3) You want provability. That is, you want guarantees that your program will run exactly the way you intended or you could lose a lot of money.

4) You hopefully want it to go fast, or backtesting could take ages. Historically super computers have been preferred, but that is probably not the case today. (This isn't even for HFT, just scalping and swing trading.)

Most in house languages in the industry are functional programming paradigm, because it allows guarantees. What you see is what you get. It allows one to write in a more mathematical way.

Today Rust takes the cake, as it is the only mainstream language that meets all the criteria, despite not being a functional programming paradigm language.
I think the trick is to instead wake up early. If you delay any serious work for the evening it's a lot harder. You're winding down and trying to enjoy the rest of the day.

Waking up early seems to be one of the main traits of those who end up making side projects or some good amounts of money.

The only problem is learning how to wake up early. Every time I wake up early it's like I forget the reason why I did it.
There are countries where women cannot drive, cannot show their faces, etc. Their agency is very much invalidated by the social norms.

I'm not opposed to your general points, but there are a few flaws in your data.

Those earning minimum wage aren't going to be able to afford "an average" apartment. They will likely only be able to afford a starter apartment which is more likely to cost much less than average and are more likely to live with family members or commute from a more affordable geographic locale.

Income in US is not directly comparable to most other OECD countries for multiple reasons. Labor laws (paid vs. unpaid sick days, vacation days, ma/paternity time off, union dues), taxation policies (local, state, federal, employer), health care costs (no nationwide price negotiation), health insurance costs (lots of problems here), school tuition costs (because the demographic highly overlaps with school-aged young adults), lack of public transportation in most geographic regions, etc all add up to costs which are obscured by using the simple "gross income after housing and maintenance" figure.
That is simply untrue.

The money quote, which completely refutes your entire nonsense argument:
“The other day I felt defeated. The patient came in on a code. We looked at each other. The patient had to die. There was nothing we could do.” Any feelings of guilt were upended by the next patient to come through the doors when they had to tell EMS they had no ventilators. EMS said they had nowhere else to go. The patient died."

The author wasn't discussing overprescription, they were talking about an apparently common impression that mental illness is different from something called a "chemical imbalance".

Their point was that neither someone for whom a little bit of adderall or antidepressants, nor someone like yourself for whom a full compliment of medications has helped is understood to simply have a "chemical imbalance", and certainly not one that's 1-to-1 corrected by drugs.

Instead, it's the case that through some medications many people with mental illnesses of varying severities are helped in coping with or reducing symptoms of their illness.

The point is that people "other" themselves from people with mental illnesses, telling themselves that it's just a chemical imbalance they're correcting. This change in many peoples' understanding of how therapy or their own brains works has unfortunately not reduced the stigma of mental illness, it's just something people have been telling themselves (as the authors studies show) to substitute for an admission that mental illness is ok and can be worked on.

This doctor must lose their medical license for life. At best they are wildly incompetent, at worst they are maliciously inflicting harm upon a teen for personal or political reasons.

Giving estrogen to men usually causes irreversible sterility for life. The doctor would have known this. The pharmacist would have known this. That they chose to proceed with the risk of sterilizing a boy without notifying his parents implies horrific things about the doctor's view of the lack of humanity of their patient.

Edit:

I added "the risk of" to the previous paragraph, as elsethread notes that the sterility outcome usually requires much longer dosing intervals. Noted, but if I remember correctly, men pursuing a change in gender are expected to sign their name or initial in the box at least ten times in a row in order to receive their prescription — once for each side effect, due to the severity and permanence of those side effects. Both doctor and pharmacist had a professional duty to review those severe side effects with the patient and their legal guardian.

The problem is the globalized economy. Ireland tax laws provide an example. Governments have little power over corporations as you can simply pick and choose which laws you want to operate under. Corporations have pushed governments to compete on favorable terms. Until governments unify basic tax and labor laws, these problems will continue.
Consider this: i'd argue that the fundamental feature of twitter isn't tweets. It is the underlying certainty that the tweeted content belongs to the person with the blue checkmark.

My friends in social media positions heard about the twitter hack from me, not the other way around. Given how this info disseminated, combined with the breaking of twitters fundamental feature, i'm surprised more people didn't fall for the scam. A commenter yesterday claimed Coinbase had blacklisted the wallet very early on. I assume Gemini and Binance had similar reactions. Without this swift action, i'd wager the actual haul could have been many times the ~13 BTC they ended up with.
I am well aware of prostate cancer being a bigger threat to men than testicular cancer, but the comment mentioned one and not the other. It is not my responsibility to improve the arguments of men's rights activists.

Just doing some napkin calculations, the cheapest apartment I can find right now online in my city is $900 per month. This is including studios. The minimum wage in my state is $11.25 per hour. So working full time at minimum wage, that apartment would be over 46% of your gross income.

I specifically said 'for practical intents and purposes' to head off this sort of obnoxious "well ACKSHULLY..." response. The CCP does not rule in Taiwan. Until that changes, the CCP nationalizing TSMC isn't in the cards. And even if that happened, there probably wouldn't be anything left of TSMC to nationalize.

I'm curious about this, too. I have to believe, though, that if some bumbling sim swappers were able to get in, then it doesn't require a leap to assume sophisticated state-level actors have similar access. Granted this attack leaves a swath of evidence, but with access to internal tooling, it really is just a factor of how much information is accessible via those tools (and others like them).

Big fan of Chris Hedges too and I typically watch those interviews.
