> If you're working in an unskilled job, living paycheck to paycheck, how are you going to improve that situation?

One of the most common ways people move on to higher-paying jobs in the workforce is by skills (not necessarily in “skilled labor” sense, but even just basic work habits) earned and/or demonstrated through work in lower-paying (even unpaid, though less that since the crackdown on unpaid internships) jobs. Minimum wage jobs, even when minimum wage does not meet any criteria for “living wage”, are absolutely part of that.

Kickstarter is not the same as venture capital (and is certainly not 'free capital'). It's validation that actual customers are interested in the product and want to buy/use it. There are certainly risks associated with backing a project as a customer, but presumably the folks backing this campaign feel like the benefit is worth the risk.
Rust unsafe doesn't mean "does something sketchy". It means "compiler I know what I'm doing". It's equivalent to casting raw C pointers. You are supposed to know what you are doing when doing that, but you will be on your own. It might still be perfectly safe, but the compiler can't tell.
I think it's a bit different. This forcing of academics into Kindergarten is more of a panic reaction to the overall low quality of the American education system. Unfortunately, this reaction ignores cognitive science for a try-harder approach.

It isn't about materialism or care. It's about having education driven by supposition instead of evidence and what we know works. Phonics would still be core to early curriculum, for example, if we followed the science. It's harder to teach than "whole word" reading, but phonics actually works and we have decades of evidence, and mountains of cognitive science to show us why.
One thing I found fun with MTS is that you can actually do a lot of stuff without being logged in.
I'm super glad we don't live in that lawless society TBH! One of the best features of government is, IMHO, that we can use it to all agree to abide by having certain "freedoms" inhibited for the greater good where we otherwise wouldn't be able to. Rule of law was a fantastic invention..
Yes, but good luck getting that through any form of code review. The unsafe block and the raw pointers or the call to transmute make it pretty obvious that something fishy is going on that’s worth reading carefully. ¯\_/(ツ)\_/¯

Unlike C or C++, where it can sometimes be harder to tell what the lifetime of something should be, or whether you’re extending the lifetime of a reference beyond the point that it is safe.

Unsafe definitely gives you loaded footguns... which for the umpteenth time is why it is considered a code smell. Sometimes you have to write smelly code, but it’s something to be avoided.
There's a lot of blind faith in "New jobs will appear as old ones are obsoleted".

That's certainly has been true, but I don't think it's absolutely always going to be true.

Further, what we've seen is that primarily low skill high wage jobs have been replaced with high skill jobs. This is evidenced by the fact that you simply can't make a good living off a high school degree.

Based off this

https://www.careerprofiles.info/careers-largest-employment.h...

How many of those jobs are in danger of being automated?

Cashiers,
food preparation,
freight,
Customer service representatives (I know, you're thinking no way, but a lot of effort is going into AI chatbots to cut down on CS requirements).

accounting (In fact, this is what I'm working on),
order fillers,
Truck drivers

What happens to the millions when those jobs are slowly eroded away? It's easy to cheat and say "Something else will probably come up" but I simply don't think that will continue to happen in the next 10->20 years.

There's only so much productivity we can utilize. What happens when we've saturated? Unemployment.

I don't think any nation is really well equipped at this point to handle large portions of their workforce being automated away.

Sure, the standard of living will go up for everyone with jobs. However, that will be less and less of the population as time goes on.

This is why programs like UBI and universal healthcare are important. Without them, things are going to be pretty bleak for a lot of people (even with them, and a constant population growth, things won't look good).
> the developer account, signing, notarizing, etc. is a cost of doing business, and you can easily justify it.

But what if I'm not doing this for profit? Can Nirsoft or Mozilla apply for a waiver? Can I? We may not be looking to dominate the market, but it would be a shame if our work just went to waste because people would rather pay for something crappier that is closed source rather than our free (as in freedom & beer) software.

(Yes, Mozilla is a huge project where it isn't worth employee's time to apply for a waiver, I just needed at least one name that people know is a non-profit software developer as an example.)
> Masks have really torn everyone apart

No. No, no no. Masks have torn nobody apart. They could have brought us together. One segment of the population embraced politics and decided that masks was the last straw among all of the rules they otherwise accept in their lives, and decided to turn it into a public statement. These people are the ones that have torn everyone apart and ripped up the social contract.

The rest of us are just quietly sucking it up and doing what little we can to improve outcomes for all of society.
Oh interesting, TIL.

By the way, Polyaxon looks awesome, I’ve been wanting to try it for a while, but just don’t have any machine learning projects in the pipeline at the moment alas.
Yes, sometimes I cannot tell the difference between hard and bullshit. And yes, I can be a complete idiot sometimes. So, thanks?
Agree if they were to continue run Toyota as is.

That said said, if Apple bought them for accelerating their self-driving car development, the historical profit margins are irrelevant. The the valuation would still be all about the future opportunities and future cash flows. This relative to other opportunities in the market, as other commenters rightly point out.

That was my understanding too. What other "nuclear energy" related use would there be for a hidden Geiger counter?
> its inner workings are declared SPI after all

SPI is system private interface, also known as private API–Apple doesn't document it, can change it at any time, and usually discourages its use.
It's not that clear that a lockdown helps. NY closed the earliest in the US but was the hardest hit nevertheless. It has now mostly reopened and cases aren't going up. Chances are we may have reached herd immunity there.

I have seen recently that serology tests in Italy have shown the same outcome for people who were locked down than essential workers who were not locked down (and mortality stats in the UK told a similar story a couple of months ago).

Also the evolution of deaths in Sweden followed the same shape and timing than all the other european countries who locked down, suggesting the peak had more to do with the natural evolution of the infection than as a result of a lockdown.

And as far as I know, the WHO does not support lockdowns.

I suppose things like how well care homes were protected probably mattered a lot more.
The main question here is not whether Oumuamua was a hydrogen iceberg, but rather whether hydrogen icebergs are possible.

Solid hydrogen is terribly difficult to study [1]. Solid hydrogen does not exist at pressures below 100 GPa (i.e. 1 million times higher than the atmospheric pressure). These pressures occur deep inside Jupiter, for example, but how do you get the "hydrogen iceberg" free?

But you are going to have outrage by people being upset that wealthy people are getting UBI, even though the UBI amount for wealthy people is inconsequential. This is exactly why the COVID-19 stimulus checks were only sent to people making less than $100k.

The media will start writing posts and articles about X millionaire or X billionaire getting a UBI or stimulus check and outrage ensues.

> Thiel’s move may have been made because of “backlash from tech industry peers, particularly within Facebook’s ranks,” for supporting Trump and that he was “surprised by what he called a ‘visceral reaction’ in socially liberal Silicon Valley to his support of the president.”

I wonder if he is still surprised.
Did the Xeon Phi also downclock when using AVX-512?
It may be a cultural thing too. It is a lot faster to produce young unqualified people than a really senior person. We are losing minds like John Conway.

Anyway, I'd say my grandfather and cousin deaths (non-covid related) had about the same impact on me. Dying is the tragedy of being alive, I suppose.
I just looked it up, and it seems like $100 is worth less than half a week of an average developers salary in Iran.
I just bought a Volvo (but I didn't get it yet) => apparently all Volvos have an embedded "Event Data Recorder":

This vehicle is equipped with an "Event Data Recorder" (EDR). Its primary purpose is to register and record data related to traffic accidents or collision-like situations, such as times when the airbag deploys or the vehicle strikes an obstacle in the road. The data is recorded in order to increase understanding of how vehicle systems work in these types of situations. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short time, usually 30 seconds or less. Etc... The article is here https://www.volvocars.com/ph/support/manuals/xc90/2016/intro... (same for other models).

Personally I'm OK with that - it's not an ongoing recording of how I drive, the data is not pushed out of the car, and it might actually help defending myself if I have an accident and I think that I'm not guilty.
I wonder how many clock cycles that'd take ;-)
Top-level ev's like the Model 3 are already superior for most drivers. The only problem is cost, and that is being fixed in the coming years through steadily falling battery prices.

Other use cases like aviation and ocean boats are more difficult. It may well be that synfuels made with renewable energy will be the solution there.
This is very cool.

Combining tech, with oldie wood, with I assume tech to cut it.

As far as I know it is intended to prevent identity abuse in both the IRL sense as cryptographic sense.

It means that it is harder for an attacker to abuse your systems or key material to sign something in your name.

Perhaps the best analogy I can come up with is the dns-01 verification with ACME and a lower TTL. You need to compromise more pieces of the puzzle on a shorter timeline to attack that specific part of the system.

I mean there are lots of city people escaping .. but how likely will that continue as cabins and beachhomes become too cold.
It's going to be extremely interesting to see how Apple will take advantage of their sky-high valuation. Not to mention the pile of cash they're sitting on.
OP here is correct. PUFAs are the baddies. This is way too large a subject for me to even try backing up atm but I do recommend you do research into it.
Homebrew Cask specifically opts into Quarantine, interestingly; I believe this behavior was to match the general behavior of the system to add this at most places where you could download an app. Very few other third parties opt into this.
So traffic gets worse. Got it, thanks.

By the way, I guarantee their actuarial tables don't know whether you're creating high g forces in or out of control.

And now we've created a system that punishes the driver that brakes hard to avoid the tentative turner, who is incentivized to make the situation MORE dangerous by turning timidly.
You are talking about the net result. But in the end, the government is going to pay everyone this amount. So let's say government taxes income at a higher percentage, so that the middle class basically gets the same net amount. How high will you need to tax those middle class jobs?
>Edit: Getting down voted for stating facts.

No, you're getting downvoted for stating falsehoods. Israel economically and militarily controls the occupied territories. Holding phony elections for "leaders" that are powerless to do anything because they wield no state power is not democracy. This would be true even if Gaza wasn't under an illegal blockade which prevents residents of Gaza from leaving without Israeli permission and prevents those from other countries from visiting or engaging in commerce with Gaza without Israeli permission.

Reasonable people can disagree over what the way forward is in Israel, but people who deny reality in order to push their agenda are not reasonable.
I can tell you we share that view - we're looking forward to growing out more games in the future, however we aim to make the launch time compelling to users of all ages, and that means getting the story absolutely right. There were definitely jokes in the team early on about licensing Mortal Kombat to up the ante of the fights!
A/B testing app for Shopify – SplitWit
SplitWit is an A/B testing tool made especially for eCommerce websites. It integrates directly with Shopify, running directly in the dashboard. It makes rapid testing and iteration a normal part of your business workflow.
That's funny because the Tekton website[0] has this as their first text:

"Tekton is a powerful and flexible open-source framework for creating CI/CD systems, allowing developers to build, test, and deploy across cloud providers and on-premise systems."

Do you know why they are switching, out of curiosity?

The market is definitely very young and I don't think anybody has really nailed down every use case.

There are the parts of the market targeting "business model" use cases like Camunda/Zeebe.

Then there are ETL-style systems like Airflow for dealing with massive data processing.

And still you've got the CI/CD side of things like Argo/Tekton for automating complex build systems/running tests.

Then for systems like Netflix Conductor, Uber Cadence, and AWS Step Functions (among others), you have systems trying to abstract on top of existing complex systems (microservices, etc).

That's not even including low-code spaces like Zapier or IFTTT that try to target making integrations trivial.

It's a crazy world!

Another question that's worth pondering is that perhaps the previous generation of technologies was simply easier to develop than the current generation - I believe the economist Tyler Cowen proposes this theory in his book "The Great Stagnation". For example, it may be that silicon processors are just intrinsically easier to develop than quantum computers, traditional nuclear (fission) reactors are easier to develop than fusion reactors, better fertilizer is easier to develop compared to GMO crops, etc. Perhaps, as Cowen claims, we have already plucked all the low-lying technological fruit, so to speak.
There are a lot of different factors that can affect performance. I'd advise you to always benchmark.

It takes 5 to 10 years to create a safe and effective vaccine. Look to the 1970s and Swing Flu to see an example of a failed vaccine. It is absolutely insane that anyone is seriously considering we can make a safe vaccine for this in less than a year.

Pharmaceutical companies have never made a successful vaccines for coronaviruses before. I've heard the argument, "Well we have more people working on it." If you hire nine women, you can't make a baby in a month. There is no way, no matter how much money you throw at it, to safely do 5~10 years worth of testing in less than a year.
And once they get enough people to sign up, they can punish everyone else by putting them in the "bad driver" bucket.
Without a minimum wage, some jobs would pay effectively zero.

You see that with waiters, who get paid below minimum wage, and are expected to make tips, the issue is if there's no customers because of a pandemic, they are now making no income.
Actually, this specific behavior applies exclusively to applications distributed outside of the Mac App Store.
Sure, but you don’t need food from Kroger’s. You can get it from 100s of places.
> There are many inputs that go into something as simple as a recommendation of "should the general public wear masks", including "are there enough masks for health professionals currently"

When there was a toilet paper shortage, businesses were still able to get their supplies since they used a different supply chain compared to the end consumer. I'm surprised that this isn't the same case with PPE.
> Non-livable wages just lock people into poverty.

No, non-livable income does that. Relying on wages to solve that relegates people to a permanent underclass if they ever experience more than brief unemployment.
What does SPI stand for?
USAA has been returning premiums to customers during Covid. And I'd pay more to not be tracked.

Just for the hell of it, I once got a quote from Metromile when I was hardly driving at all, and it was HIGHER than my USAA rate.
That’s still whole numbers for anyone over 60, and significant numbers still for anyone below it.

Have you ever seriously contemplated death? If you have, those numbers don’t seem very good, not at all.

Not to mention these are stats for DEATH. Meaning these are the worst case scenario. Dead. The chances of getting seriously ill, like major suffering, are much higher. Would you want to experience that? Would you wish that on others in your community?

Suck it up and do some pushups for gods sake.
Arguably AirBnB becomes the only safe travel option when compared to hotels.

Though neither survive a complete travel collapse.

And the fees can be extreme. I recently tried to book a place before covid and the cleaning fees etc ended up being $400. I feel like this is a scheme landlords on airbnb are perpetrating which are similar to what used to go down on ebay years ago.

For ebay they did not take a cut of the shipping cost(typically their cut was around 10% of the final sale of an item) so sellers would list items at rock bottom prices but with shipping like 5x of what it should be so they could receive a maximum amount of money. I assume airbnb does not take a cut of cleaning costs?
You'd have to account for charge losses (Some energy ends up just being heat while charging) but that could probably be simply guestimated on battery temp while charging and some constant factor.

For example, assume a 90% charge efficiency for a battery at 20C... or whatever makes sense.
It's not the $100/yr that benefits Apple the most, in my judgement. It's the ability for Apple to control what software its users can use, e.g. to promote App Store sales. If they don't like your company, they can switch off your software remotely on all your end users' computers. If you have a competing product, they can just switch it off and there's nothing you can do about it except develop for Windows and Linux.
What kind of support is present for testing workflows?
We have Progressive because they gave us the best quote when we signed up (neither of us had a car insurance history.)

We look every couple months or so for a better quote, but so far, nothing. Geico would have us paying even more.
> We also seem to care very little about over a million deaths, if we go with something like a 0.5% fatality rate. Puts the reaction to 9/11 and the whole "how dare you disrespect our troops" racist reaction to athletes protesting into perspective...

That is something to ponder. What does this say about us as a people? "Hey, we must retaliate, they attacked us!!" vs "Hell no I will not do one simple thing to protect others when we are all under attack from a virus." Hrm.

>> Textbooks state that, in the absence of a minimum wage, a worker is paid his “marginal product of labour”, which means the value of what he produces.

> This sentence is just wrong. First of all a rational actor will not intentionally pay a worker the value of their production; you get no profit.

In the econ 101 textbook simplified free market that the author is refering to firms do not make any economic profit. If a firm in a free market is turning an economic profit more firms will enter that market, raising supply, lowering price and driving profits to zero.
> This new behavior doesn’t change the long-established policy that our users and developers can run arbitrary code on their Macs

This irks me, I don't know why. Maybe because calling it an Apple policy is something that can be changed. I consider it more a right that I can run arbitrary code on my computer.

So yes, I would agree, quite reasonable to be concerned.

In my state, for example, insurance companies required to pay out a percentage of premiums. With the reduction in miles driven across the risk pool I've been receiving refund checks.
Do you expect this to last for years/decades? I think it’s fair to say that the current climate is priced in.
