I don't see how having only 50% make more is any less ludicrous.

Should anyone ever make more money while unemployed than when employed?

Won't that completely alter the valuation of work and with that the proper functioning of the economy?

PS I know people that own businesses that can't reopen because people that usually would work for them don't want to come back as the salary he pays is less than the unemployment benefit.
This is called a perverse incentive.

Building a settler colonial ethnostate is not biblical or holy. It's a lop-sided geopolitical conflict over land, and talk of "complexity" is usually an attempt to obscure that.
All barriers in this case can only be artificial. Think of the court case where FBI tried to make Apple develop software to their specs: it's hard to justify this order even though it seemed like it had legal standing.

Apple doesn't have to develop what you want them to develop. But it could be in their interest to avoid being labeled as an abusive monopolistic power. In won't make them any less abusive or monopolistic, but it knocks out some detractors.
nvidia's largest revenue driver, gaming, made 1.4B dollars last year (up 56% YoY). nvidia's second largest, "data center" (AI) made 968M (up 43% YoY). Other revenue was 661M. Up to you if nvidia's second largest revenue center, of nearly a billion/year is "industry changing"

I’m picking on you a bit but I am Jewish and I really dislike this ignorant attitude conflating Jews and Israel. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself on the various non-Zionist movements and individuals who are also Jewish.

There's more shit to wade through.

I really miss the days when Youtube's "related videos" were seemingly based on a graph data model -- populated like: other people that watched this, then clicked on that.

Honestly, it was far more accurate for new, niche music. My browser tabs would grow exponentially.

Mihir Sharma’s book Restart (2014) has a good chapter on this. The answer it seems was, no.

It’s not in the national interest to charge maximal prices for natural resources, and this is followed by many countries even today — China and the US included — and such rights are given away for a nominal or modest price, and always with a view to ensuring wide market participation.

Even European spectrum auctions have a clear aim of ensuring a sustainable market of 4 or more effective competitors.

This has been historic practice in India also. For instance, the British colonial government gave India’s other big industrial group — the Tatas — rights to coal and iron mining in the late 1800s for free to set up India’s first steel plant. Even the BJP’s own Vajpayee government did this.

The CAG’s “notional loss theory”, he argues, is rubbish. And looking at the events in India’s once vibrant Mobile Telecom industry, which has has now been reduced to an effective duopoly, one can argue Sharma was right.
How is any of this relevant to "EU" as seen in title?
What’s the point of looking at the number of states? Most people are getting more in unemployment than they made before.

> A new analysis by Peter Ganong, Pascal Noel and Joseph Vavra, economists at the University of Chicago, uses government data from 2019 to estimate that 68 percent of unemployed workers who can receive benefits are eligible for payments that are greater than their lost earnings
Yeah I'm mystified that people are harping on this. The entire point of overshooting wages is that the economy isn't ready to fully reopen and so we want to create incentives for people to stay home.
One thing I think we ought to give credit to is that as Infosec becomes higher profile and more public, the sophistification of kids will rise with it.

For example many of the techniques that are basically public info on youtube[1] nowadays was hidden in some "darkweb" forum not many years back.

The choice of not choosing? The more you guys explain, the less I understand.
The more interesting question is whether wages were too low to begin with. Plenty of evidence points to wage stagnation in the lower-wage jobs starting in the 1980s and continuing to today. A huge number of americans collecting SNAP benefits actually work at companies like Walmart and Amazon. Is it possible the answer to the question is "we should pay workers more"?

Microsoft cares deeply about backwards compatibility, providing platform stability to large enterprises, which value such things very highly. IBM is similarly popular with big business for the same reason.

Google -- for a while at least -- cared deeply about web user experience and performance. The Google start page ushered in an era of minimalist UIs that load fast and don't bombard the user with fifty irrelevant things. They came up with the trick to send more than the 4 initial packets after the TCP connect so that they could send the entire front-page content in the minimum feasible number of round trips. They're still working on protocols like HTTP/3 and QUIC with similar goals.

Facebook... umm... let met think... err... I got nothing.
So Apple created a very desirable platform for developers by enforcing a set of "arbitrary" rules and being in complete control of it. Now developers want Apple to open up those rules. That seems contradictory to me.

Now, don't get me wrong, as a consumer I do want to _own_ my device and have the freedom to do anything with it, even if I never exercise that freedom. And as a consumer I use my right to vote with my wallet by never purchasing iPhones and explain my decision to anyone that cares to listen. But in no way does that mean that I think what Apple is doing is wrong or illegal nor do I think they should be forced to change their business model because some people think they can have the cake and eat it too.
I remember watching the hearings in the 1980s when caller-ID was coming to NY state on some UHF channel.

There were two groups of teary-eyed women, one arguing for caller ID (so they'd know the numbers of people calling to harass them!) and one arguing against it (suppose they were in a "safe house" but needed to call their abusive ex- to ask something! They could be identified!) I think the "anonymous" option was to appease both sides. And that's why they can't be blocked.

Ah this is really cool, quite similar to a keyboard I’m designing - https://imgur.com/a/z31Zfoa - haven’t designed a case yet.

They have taken an interesting approach with thumb cluster, single key on farend and 3 on near end of thumb. I did the opposite of that, on account of thumb being not that flexible in bent position.

Over the years my daily driver has been kinesis advantage2. I tried ergodox but really disliked thumbcluster placement and additional middle keys. I made a keeb.io Nyqist recently and got a few pcbs printed for Redox, need to build that out.

It is really hard to go back to non-split keyboards after using split for a while, and kinesis advantage is still the gold standard imo, concave keywell alone is the reason to spend north of $350 on it.
I think this is because of the separation between window manager and GUI toolkit.

Which I think is a terrible thing to have separate, for the functionality reasons you're illustrating.

But that's why.
I don't think the voice assistants on phones are as useful generally as a smart speaker. The phone is typically in your hands already, so just touching it is often faster. The few times I use Siri are to set alarms, and that has more to do with how bad (imo) the time entry control is on iOS.

I do have smart speakers and I use them every day to run my lights, music, set alarms, etc. It is wonderful to be able to say 'Alexa, next song' while in the shower and have it just work (with a Sonos speaker, btw).
They should learn to code!

But coding doesn't pay!

I worked for startups where I wrote the entire backend code behind the products that put the companies in business. Then the business geniuses ran the businesses into the ground and I got paid nothing. My code got released as open source which is what happens when code is worth nothing.

Rinse repeat. Coding doesn't pay. Code is worth nothing. Code is always worth nothing.

So I got a real job instead. And I code for fun. Open source of course. Because code is worth nothing. Coding doesn't pay.

So glad I learned to code!
I hope people are saving their temporary unemployment benefits. State budgets are tapped out and even the most generous states only give ~9 months worth of benefits. Come January/February whatever Congress passes will expire again and so will state benefits. Right in time for what amounts as the worst months for virus contagiousness.

Strap in everyone, 2021 might be worse than 2020.
So what happened to social distancing and masks? Is Covid not that serious?

Some protesters are wearing masks, but it's by no means the majority.
That's why you first develop a very good intuition of what complex numbers really are, understand Euler's formula (and probably asked to come up with a proof for it), and only then move forward.

In mathematics, it's really easy and dangerous to think that you understand a concept only because you can memorize it's definitions and properties; any math education should fight this pseudo-understanding and make sure that you really grok it.
I just wish it wasn't such a smudge/finger print magnet.
Sounds like a prudent idea. On the other hand I’d worry about the macro economic effects if every company held large amounts of unproductive capital.
The lock was a specialty lock for a specific purpose (disc lock for a motorcycle). It's supposed to have a reinforced shaft and hardened casing that makes the tools that thieves use on cheaper disc locks useless.

There’s an opportunity for arbitrage here then...

> My ancestors lived in Israel since 1880

No, they lived in Palestine.

In hindsight, having been the Palestinians pushed away from their lands, first through mass immigration, then by the generous gift made by Europe of those lands to the immigrants, and finally through ethnic cleansing and land grabbing, in hindsight their violence towards the newcomers was perfectly justified. How can you blame them if they saw in advance what was happening?

> "An area steeped in sectarian violence and racism must surely take a completely different approach than an area with purely political struggles"

I'm not even sure how to respond to this. Are you suggesting the people of that region are inherently violent? Are we talking about the violence caused by Western countries starting several wars there in the last few decades? Are we talking about the colonial powers' exploitation of Shia/Sunni divides to further their interests?
Yes, but the easiness it spreads does not equate to the same frequency of long-lasting damage.

In fact, given so many cases are missed (bloodstream antibody tests don't catch those with T-cell responses, and mucosal antibodies aren't detected by those tests, either) I would not be surprised if those with complications are a minority (of extreme clinical importance, mind you) of the total cases.

My point is not much as to downplay the seriousness of these side effects, but rather that we have become more aware of them due to "information overload", because many other diseases can have these complications. IOW, this is not a magic disease (sometimes the press almost paints SARS-CoV-2 as something out of this world...).

"A slippery slide transfer straight into socialism. The moment people can start voting themselves money, combined with democracy it's just a matter of time before the bottom 51 votes themselves into the top 49. By the way, the slippery slope fallacy is not a fallacy; they haven’t thought it through.”

"The moment you start having a direct transfer mechanism like that in democracy, you're basically doing away with capitalism which is the engine of economic growth. You're also forcing the entrepreneur out, or telling them not to come here."

"People who are down on their luck, they're not looking for handouts. It's not just about money, it's also about status and meaning. The moment I start giving money to you, I've lowered your status and made you a second class citizen.”

Wayland does not allow clients to make decisions such as the precise placement of windows for security and sanity reasons, so I do not think that these will ever be added.
Pretty sure it was because the states had outdated computer systems to send funds to the right places:

> Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said in March on Fox News that the $600 bonus was chosen because states' computer systems are more than 30 years old. Reprogramming the computers to achieve what he described as a more nuanced distribution of money would have taken too long.

> “In certain states, that might be a little bit too much money. In other states, it’s less money. It’s not a perfect system, but the president’s objective was to make sure we get money in people's hands,” Mnuchin said.

I'll concede that some durable goods are cheaper adjusted for inflation.

But at the end of the day, what has the most impact on socioeconomic mobility and overall success? It's probably not a cheap microwave.

It's access to good schools, health care, and diet. All of the things that are getting more expensive.

Cheaper gas and clothes also have hidden(less so now) costs in pollution and ethical sourcing concerns.
The referenced AppSignal post about 13,000 dependencies for a todo list is conflating dependencies required for the build tooling with dependencies that are actually bundled in to the web app.

It's also hilarious that right after referencing the dependency problem in the JS ecosystem the OP then goes and advocates splitting up your library into a bunch of mini libraries. That's exactly how we got into this mess in the first place.

Also, computer speed has definitely gotten faster. There was a time period during which this was not the case, but particularly the switch to SSDs resulted in a massive jump in computer responsiveness. (The previous jump happened when we no longer needed to wait for dial up to establish a connection)
The GTK 4 transition is totally unnecessary. Any new functionality needed can be incorporated into the existing API in a backwards-compatible manner. Major version bumps should be an absolute last resort, not something a major infrastructure library does when it gets too stable and its developers get bored.

You want a new recyclerview-like list widget? Great. Make a new damned widget. You want a retained-mode rendering system? Great! Add a bunch of new widget hooks. Don't require a whole new major version bump and make everyone using GTK3 deal with dependency hell trying to get upgraded. It feels like only yesterday that most things finally moved off GTK2.

There is ZERO reason for an ABI break here. None. GTK3's ABI is a perfectly adequate base for adding new functionality. The GTK people, by making a GTK4, made a lot of work for everyone for no benefit.

Is the GTK4 API cleaner? I guess? Event objects are opaque now. There's no root window. Yay? But "it looks slightly cleaner" is a totally inadequate justification for the pain of yet another GTK ABI transition.

I could go and on about how much gratuitous breaking changes piss me off.

The same goes for Wayland, by the way --- X11 has an extension mechanism. Wayland could have used it. And don't tell me about the core protocol breaking the model --- it doesn't hurt anything if you don't use it.
> Further, it can only happen if the unemployed person qualifies for the maximum benefit in their state, which the vast majority of unemployed people do not.

This is backwards. The lower the income the greater the relative benefit from the fixed $600 assistance since as a rule of thumb unemployment pays a little over half of the replacement wage.

The simple solution would be for the government to also pay employed low-wage workers. Then, everyone can continue to buy food and pay rent and no one is earning less while working.
