I get what you're saying here, and I respect the fact that you were able to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, literally.

Depending upon where you get your numbers there are 18-31 million unemployed right now. Some of that will be solved by brains -- people who can find niches and what not. But with a 1/3 of the renters who won't be able to make the August check, that's just a bunch of people who can't afford to spend money at all.

So demand is purely in the trash right now.

So the question is, if you could get 18-31 million people in gig positions, what would happen?

Well for one thing the pay would be low, because the supply for labor (unemployed people) would be more then plentiful to meet current demand.

E.g. How many uber drivers do we really need right now? And if you doubled or tripled the amount of uber drivers what happens to the income for one uber driver? That would drop by basically by 1/3, as more uber drivers compete for the same amount of rides. And more and more uber drivers are willing to take less money for the same effort.

The result is you have an uber driver making less income and less willing to spend money. And that starts a vicious cycle. More and more people not willing to spend, more and more companies laying off individuals.

That continues until we hit a bottom, which we may or may not have seen yet, given the massive amounts of evictions coming as of today.
> Doesn't that reduce demand though, which lowers price?

Yes, but "Seems fine, but I'm not interested." and "LOL. I've researched this extensively and am confident that this is a scam" both send the same 0 demand signal.

That's too bad. I had toshiba laptop from 2008-2014 or 2015 or so. It was probably my longest lasting and hardest treated one. That thing carried me all through school, travelled to yellowstone and all around BC, was taken to camp sites and used during field work. I regularly threw it in a backpack with no case or anything packed in with a bunch of stuff and carried it well over a few hundred km over the years like that.

I'm still not sure exactly what's wrong with it. The original hard drive ended up with a corrupted MBR, then the replacement drive i put in ended up with the same thing within a day. I just ended up retiring it and getting a new one.

Though for a while though i was keeping that thing on life support by running a linux distro partitioned across 4 usb flash drives just so i could keep using it for a bit longer. I managed to recover everything off the drives that way too.

By comparison, the acer i replaced it with ended up needing a screen replacement within 2 years and that thing just pretty much hung out at home.
Every time I tried running numbers the impression I got was raw performance for the first stage isn't really that important. And the cost vs size is aprox fixedcost + log(size). You can either increase ISP or make the rocket bigger. Increasing the throw of the first stage by 10% might only cost 3% more.
What monitor size did you use before that and how far away? (Is this a monitor for the computer? Or for watching movies/TV?)
And if people can increasingly work anywhere in some number of different timezones--and the same is true of most of your competition--what justifies paying a premium because some people want to live in Manhattan or SF any more than because they want to live in an expensive beach or mountain community.
Unfortunately “protecting ourselves” against these drugs has terrible second-order effects (see war on drugs). Perhaps we should let people buy drugs and bad food but add taxes to cover the collective damage done by them.

I think there is a massive business opportunity for somebody to develop a system that will help big businesses turn cube farms into bubble farms, where every employee has an airtight box to sit in with their own air supply, filters, and exhaust.

Perhaps even some kind of comfortable spacesuit you can just live in all day will help the blue collar workers.

I'm only half joking. I would like to think there will be a strong push for a much more hygienic society in the future. A corona vaccine will never completely solve the problem, and who wants to even get a traditional flu. I suspect these social distancing measures are just how we live now.
I feel like it’s the right thing to do at this moment but.. it’s one of those things where the long term consequences are unforeseeable, and it makes me nervous. Like: how can you organize a union if everyone is remote? Does this make outsourcing a lot easier? What about personal connection? Is this a step in the Uber-ification of the office worker? Will we all become independent contractors? It’s impossible to say at this point.
This is why the US is going after TikTok. It's social media that the US can't access and a foreign government can.

The Europeans and the Indians who both have social media markets big enough to support their own should play the same game that the Chinese and the Americans are. That is, if there is any indication that foreign governments can access the information and that your own government cannot they should ban the social media application, search applications and mail applications and build their own.

Right now there are effectively two countries in the world that have big internet companies. The US and China.

It appears that China's protectionism in the internet has worked. It also appears that the US is practising similar protectionism in regard to TikTok. It's not completely unreasonable from either party.

The next step is that the other potential majors, the Europeans and the Indians do the same.

It might even make a more interesting world. European and Indian TikToks, Googles, Facebooks, AliBabas and so on.

> One of the three co-equal branches of the US Government, and guardian of the US Constitution

This is incorrect on both counts. First, the branches are not co-equal by any stretch of the imagination. They are created in order of their intended level of power. The Article I branch, Congress, manifestly has far greater enumerated power than the other branches, including being the only branch with the ability to remove members of the other two branches. The dominant check on Congress's power is really Congress itself, although admittedly the other branches have some ability to curtail abuses of Congressional power. Even so, Congress can overrule both a veto and a finding that a law is unconstitutional. It can also pack the courts, and all kinds of other things. The Article II and II branches, Executive and Judicial respectively, have progressively fewer enumerated powers.

As for the second point, the Constitution explicitly gives Congress and the States the sole power to amend the Constitution, but the Judiciary has arrogated that power to itself. That's not guarding the Constitution, it's mutilating it. Likewise, Congress has ceded much of its authority to the executive.

Anyhow this is all moot because the reality is that how the US Federal Government is run has about as much to do with the Constitution as it does with Schoolhouse Rock[1]. Some of the trappings remain, but that's all. It's observably true that none of the branches is in any way a guardian of the Constitution.

> the OS can't be sure how much of the stack is actually used. It cannot even assume that only addresses above sp are used

A nitpick, and a possible optimization opportunity.

If there are any unmasked signal handlers not using SA_ONSTACK, the OS can reasonably assume the thread doesn't care about memory below sp - redzone (redzone is 128 bytes on AMD64) and therefore there would be no harm in reclaiming it.
For what it's worth, you get the pros and cons pretty well. A large part of our business is based on taking these types of messy systems and move them forward to support the user needs.

A library card is typically a flat fee, and you can perform as many 'searches' as you want. In a bookstore, you can ask the clerks if they have books on a particular topic, and they will show you their wares. You can browse covers and abstracts for free, to help you decide whether anything is worth purchasing. Wouldn't that be a better model for PACER to follow?

Or think of it this way... how often would you go to a library or bookstore that charged you simply for looking around (additional charges apply for each aisle you walk down)?

The platform looses if it is seen as virus, malware and scammy environment like Android and Windows.

In the case of Windows and the Mac, they are both insecure by design. You can’t have the functionality of either with the same level of security as the iPhone without reducing functionality. The best either can do is annoy users with pop ups that they eventually, reflexively just press OK.

I install all kind of random crap on my iPhone/iPad because there are more strict controls over what they can do. iOS aggressively kills battery and CPU intensive apps.

> I mean doesn't that literally keep me as their customer more? Now that I'm not switching to an Android device where the land is greener.

In the famous words of Jobs - “if you want porn apps - buy an Android”. I’m not saying you want porn apps. I’m speaking to the fact that Apple knows it’s leaving some segment of the population out when it makes the choices it makes.

Google Analytics Data Sampling: Why It Matters
Apart from you question not being in good faith (because there have always been business models to support publishing and providing services that do not rely on adverstising and these models are well known), the main point is that they do not have to provide the answer to this question. Push advertising is unethical and culturally toxic and thus is not justifiable using the simple pragmatic argument of "It pays the bills". You can't justify unethical behaviour using a simple pragmatic argument. (Quite obviously; this shouldn't even need to be said.)
They were quite good in the early to mid 90's but by 2000 and onward they were pretty bad as far as quality.

Because we're still running on cave-man hardware that wants to store extra calories in case of famine, conserve energy in case of emergency, etc.

That is an interesting example because it looks like semantic ambiguity rather than syntactic ambiguity. But actually it is about structure as you commented -- something like this:

[S [DP [D The [N company]]] [VP [AuxP [Aux couldn't] [V make]] [DP [D the] [NP [N car] [AdjP [Adv fast] [A enough]]]]

vs

[S [DP [D The [N company]]] [V' [VP [AuxP [Aux couldn't] [V make]] [DP [D the] [N car]]] [AdjP [Adv fast] [A enough]]]

Regarding the meat of your comment, it is quite difficult to banish all ambiguity from natural language for a variety of reasons, but we don't really need to: humans are incredibly good at handling linguistic ambiguity. There has been a lot of fascinating research on the topic: in particular, I recommend reading up about anaphora resolution[0] and garden path sentence repair[1], because the literature includes some info on what is happening in the brain, which is significantly more detailed than what exists for most other types of linguistic ambiguity.

All of this ambiguity in natural language is something that continues to be huge hurdle for NLP: it turns out that fetching the right information from the context to resolve all the ambiguities that arise in a single conversation is completely non-trivial, despite how easy humans make it look!

An interesting case study in the opposite direction (ie attempting to remove ambiguities from natural language) is Ithkuil[2]: it is a conlang that attempted to completely banish (semantic and lexical) ambiguity and it ended up being ridiculously hard to use or learn at all.

Web Components can't be directly used in React due to these limitations documented at https://custom-elements-everywhere.com/

Handling data
React passes all data to Custom Elements in the form of HTML attributes. For primitive data this is fine, but the system breaks down when passing rich data, like objects or arrays. In these instances you end up with stringified values like some-attr="[object Object]" which can't actually be used.

Handling events
Because React implements its own synthetic event system, it cannot listen for DOM events coming from Custom Elements without the use of a workaround. Developers will need to reference their Custom Elements using a ref and manually attach event listeners with addEventListener. This makes working with Custom Elements cumbersome.

Stencil provides wrapping to circumvent these limitations.

Yes there are side effects (and we should do something to ameliorate these side effects) -- but it's done with a broader purpose in mind: to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe -- which, even if you don't particular care about the people directly affected -- has the further effect of prolonging the pandemic. Or in other words: to prevent the boat from tipping over completely.

So while there are side effects -- it's not like you can say it's being done "on a whim"
IMO, the reason for the lack of interest from the broader community is because it's unnecessarily complicated, and somehow simultaneously incomplete to the point of being almost unusable for some projects.

It was clearly designed by bureaucrats who enjoy making rules and sub-rules and sub-sub-rules. It doesn't matter if it works, or is useful, as long as there are plenty of rules.

People can rent co-working spaces in cities which is probably cheaper than getting an extra bedroom. That's an expense that some companies have reimbursed in the past. Although with everyone working from home, I'm not sure how equitable offering that as benefit would be viewed as.
Rails not only has to consult the database to validate uniqueness, but it still doesn’t know for sure even then whether the row will remain valid. So why not just insert the row and see if you get away with it?

Simply removing the uniqueness validation and relying exclusively on database indices would be strictly better. ActiveRecord dynamically infers from the DB schema which columns your tables have; it could also infer foreign key relationships and uniqueness guarantees and use them to generate pre-insertion “best guesses” about validity if the user wants to run those without necessarily inserting. But Rails is supposed to be an opinionated framework, and “just try to insert and we’ll let you know how that worked out for you, since we can’t make any guarantees otherwise” is a perfectly valid opinion.

The big difference being that COINTELPRO was not done with the authorization of Congress and instead lead to a Congressional investigation and later the Senate Intelligence Committee to provide oversight [1]. The airing of those abuses culminated in additional oversight of domestic intelligence activities.

In China, the airing of those abuses would end with the journalists being censored/bagged.

A National Security Letter is hardly an absolute order. They can be reviewed by a judge. They cannot include requests for content like messages. Those require a warrant. They can be beaten in court. They are not a broad tool that the NSA can apply as they wish for whatever ends they wish. Not only that, citizens are allowed to oppose it and elect legislators to repeal them.

As far as I'm aware, it has not been a problem yet, though it's likely only a matter of time as the language community grows. I see conversations happening regularly on how to detect and combat this though.

It's a hard problem to combat, because fundamentally, package code must be able to do arbitrary things. One advantage julia has though is that packages tend to be written in pure julia, which makes the duty of checking and detecting malicious code much easier.
