We have something similar in Sweden. Instead we have well established unions and negotiations that set salaries that even companies that aren’t formally part of the negotiation process follow. These are called collective agreements.

“In Sweden about 90 per cent of all employees are covered by collective agreements, in the private sector 83 per cent (2017). Collective agreements usually contain provisions concerning minimum wages. Sweden does not have statutory regulation of minimum wages or legislation on extension of collective agreements to unorganized employers.”

I'm sure the theory falls short of describing reality in all sorts of ways but it does not imply there is no profit, that is a misunderstanding that astonishingly few people are pointing out given the amount of discussion it has generated. The revenue generated per worker is their average output, which is higher than the marginal output due to the law of diminishing returns (so yes, you could say that The Economist is being misleading here since "the value of what he produces" is ambiguous and arguably should refer to the average output rather than marginal output).

You want to massively decrease the deathrate of COVID? (and death rates in general)

Deal with the 40% obesity rate in the US.

Death rates are extremely low if you're not geriatric or not fat. All the top killers are attributable to being fat and living unhealthy lifestyles. COVID is the scapegoat here.
Fellow devs, I have to take the minority view here. How is $99/yr a number that any business should even care about? Even for OSS.

The reality is that the HN audience are complete outliers. Just look at the junk your friends and family install on their machines.

On a related note, the equivalent in Windows is SmartScreen. It prompts similarly to Mac for unsigned downloads as well as signed ones where there isn't yet sufficient reputation on the signing key. That last part is frustrating - we have a downloadable software component for our SaaS. It's not that frequently used and every time we renew the cert (third party BTW, not with MS), it takes a few weeks for SmartScreen to start trusting it.
Haha, hey! It’s the first time in 8 years someone waved a hello to me. I’m sure there are many out here but how’d we know.
Hosting live video in a scalable way is a much harder challenge than just showing it once somewhere. But it would have been cool to have a summary video of one day/night cycle, travelling around the world, maybe at 10x-100x acceleration. A one-time video also probably creates less legal issues as you can review and cull the footage (IANAL).
A little fact I wanted to add here: tables are unspecified when it comes to their display model. All display models have been changed to reflect the flow model (e.g. display: inline-block means display: inline flow-root behind the scenes).

But the funny thing is: they forgot to specify display: table and everything in it.

If you're interested in all the values that are only buried down somewhere in the specs, I'm building a CSS parser [1] that probably will never be completed.

The problem with UBI trials is that they cost a lot of money to be remotely effective. That is because for it to be somewhat meaningful the amount has to be high, it has to involve a lot of people, and it has to last a long time. I was wondering, what if researchers try it in a very poor country where $10 a month is meaningful. Many countries won't want to do it presumably because money will be leaving their country. However, it will be a relatively cheap way of seeing how UBI would effect inflation, self choice unemployment, and creative inventions.

Why did you stop quoting after "immediately overwritten" ?

> ie that the backup is simply held on your systems until it is replaced in line with an established schedule

Again, you can't keep backups forever, you are _required_ to delete them.

Also, not sure why you keep you backups in the bank (do you, really?) but even banks can suffer from fire/arson, explosion (accidental or not), or a number of other natural disasters (earthquake, flooding, etc).

Counter argument: then why do conditional comments behave differently in each browser engine?

I am not talking about trident, but about CSS hacks for presto, gecko, webkit and blink as well.

If every browser would render as specified, we wouldn't have that outcome.

As developers test on webkit/blink primarily, chances are very likely things will not behave the same in other engines, and if blink violates the spec then everybody will also have to violate the spec.

The internet is built on such bad standards that you cannot even rely on HTTP to work correctly. 206 partial content headers behave differently among all web servers and proxies, and even nginx violates the spec there when it comes to multiple ranges, let alone chunked transfer encoding support.
We have no shortage of resteraunts even when servers, dishwashers, and cooks are all paid $15 an hour.

Arguably most competent endeavors are capable of paying minimum wage.

Cratering the truly incompent is a service to the market and reallocates resources to more capable players and retaining a minimum wage fosters automation and forces capital to give a larger share to labor. Either is desirable. I understand the concerns you have about automation. They are potential not fate.

> I don't think a minimum wage is ethically justified in a minimum standard of living society

The owner class does not make decisions based on what is ethical they act to secure their own benefits everyone might consider doing the same.

> Once participation is voluntary forfeiting minimum wages seems like a very promising bargaining chip against capital to get a negative income tax / UBI actually put into law.

In a democracy we ought to be able to vote our own interests as soon as enough people see the merit of the idea. Fuck negotiations. If democracy remains in truth eventually inequality will make selling this idea a trivial sale beforehand its unlikely to come to pass here in the US.

Oh, by the truckload. The more the misery, the more the misery porn. A few weeks after the lockdown started, there was a story about a ~13 year old girl pulling her injured father on a cart with her bicycle ~1000km home to their village. The Indian Cycling Federation offered her cycle training, and it trended on Twitter.

100ms of gear shifts is 100ms more than an eletric car without multiple gears.

Engines need time to rev fast, that's the problem yes. I don't know what you mean by good engineered ICE engine because I don't drive the worst at all and it's not good. Do you mean the super sporty 600kW ICE engines you find in supercars that cost a fortune to maintain and pollutes a lot?

Hybrids are shit in my humble opinion. You have the worst of both worlds, and not the best.

Weight is a problem but weight distribution is important too. And yes Tesla cars are heavy, as is tradition with American cars : a lot of torque and power, heavy, shitty brakes.

But I think that any car today is much faster than what you need. The roads are not a race.
I think a lot of the nuance has been lost here. Even throwing around phrases like "10x better than a human" is already implying a lot of very vague measurement or knowledge. In what ways, and in what environments, is it better?

I've dipped my toes into robotics a few times, and every time I end up being reminded of just how painful it is. Even when you're working in an idealized simulator, it's extremely easy to find a little edge case that causes completely bizarre behavior. And moving out of the simulator only makes things far, far worse.

It's really easy to forget about those sorts of details and brush it away as just things to be solved while developing the automation. But they don't just go away so easily. Error bounds are there to help manage these issues and ensure we know how to best use the automation.

In many instances I think people would tend to prefer the Uber driver in a moderate reading of your scenario. A human driver is likely to perform somewhat consistently and predictably. If they drift around the corner and leave a long skid mark in front of your house you can make some assumptions about how they are going to drive. If you get in and see them struggling to keep their eyes open, you can again make some assumptions about their performance. A well-rested and safe driver is extremely unlikely to suddenly throw themselves into on-coming traffic with no warning. You can refuse or stop the ride if you judge you are not safe.

Automation is a different beast. It's liable to fail in ways that a human driver would not. It may be performing wonderfully until something a human would not even notice happens, and which point it may indeed throw you into on-going traffic. For example, look at adversarial examples in deep learning. As a passenger in this case you don't have a way to judge your own moment-to-moment safety. Even if it is safer on average, the sheer unpredictability and the resulting stress is likely going to eat significantly into any gains.

The “Berkeley ‘systems argument’”, i.e., the room understands, not the human (why Berkeley gets credit for this obvious counterargument I don’t know) is mentioned in the paper, but not refuted other than by some confusing thought experiment involving a joke that just seems to repeat the original argument.
> As of this moment, any stance outside "covid is the next coming of the black death" is met with a lot of pushback.

Probably because anything less and everyone thinks they're special enough that special health measures don't apply to them.

Not that I'm ordinarily in favor of dramatizing things, but I'm at a loss about how to handle the lot of regular people that I know personally, who aren't capable of nuance and instead will use any excuse to justify ignoring lockdown & social distancing measures. The pictures coming from Italy in March scared the shit out of everyone, but now that we don't see trucks full of bodies in the news on a regular basis, this significant fraction of the population is back to ignoring all safety measures and whining about "covid craze".

Not necessarily, often the value of the land is mostly the value of the trees on it based on type, age, quality, density, ...

Do you know a lot of civil service officers? Because you seem to think that the ranks of the Union public services are mostly filled with highly corrupt officers who were born into poverty. Whereas the truth is that although I know some officers who were the first to get a degree or a high school certificate in their family, I also know of many more officers who come from the upper class, and even some who've been in colonial administration for generations.
According to Goebbels (and who should know the official line better?) the total war was to protect the west against communism ... and they would be protected even if they didn't want Nazi protection.

> " The West is in danger. It makes no difference whether or not their governments and intellectuals realize it or not.

> The German people, in any event, is unwilling to bow to this danger. Behind the oncoming Soviet divisions we see the Jewish liquidation commandos, and behind them terror, the specter of mass starvation and complete anarchy. ... Two thousand years of Western civilization are in danger. ... We could see our venerable part of the world collapse, and bury in its ruins the ancient inheritance of the West. That is the danger we face today.

> My second thesis: Only the German Reich and its allies are in the position to resist this danger. ... Bolshevism set ideological as well as military boundaries, which poses a danger to every nation. The world no longer has the choice between falling back into its old fragmentation or accepting a new order for Europe under Axis leadership. The only choice now is between living under Axis protection or in a Bolshevist Europe."

I don’t understand how Sweden could be a good example to follow: they now are at 573 deaths per million, close to Italy 585. (France is 466, Germany 110, Norway 48, all flat. US 585 and rising fast)

If you look at Belgium 859 deaths per millions, Sweden (and the US) could go much higher without any preventive action (I believe Sweden is now acting more in line with other countries?).

I can't stand with the unquestioned use of "understanding" here and there - did the author give a more precise definition of that? (I couldn't find any in the paper.) It reads more like a ranty blog piece than an academic article. It's sad that some people will read this and get confused.
Daniel Dennett coined the term “intuition pump” for this, which is a great concept to keep in mind so you don’t get caught by one. Wikipedia: An argument “designed to elicit intuitive but incorrect answers by formulating the description in such a way that important implications of the experiment would be difficult to imagine and tend to be ignored.”

If the docker container was running with something other than --net=host, it could have been avoided easily with standard networking concepts (route tables with reverse path filtering or iptables rules), even if the attacker somehow managed to get CAP_NET_ADMIN in the container the host network namespace still would refuse the packets. Although, with --net=host you could actually add iptables rules that match based on the cgroup and limit the IPs/ports allowed. It'd also be possible to filter the container's syscalls with seccomp. I'm not entirely sure why the container had CAP_NET_ADMIN at all, which is required for tcpdump and the man in the middle. Also, using user namespaces would have limited the attacker's abilities even if they had root in the container. A lot of defense in depth techniques are possible here.

There's also: simply not leaving the gcp login backdoor open. We run our gcp instances similar to ec2: on first boot we take the ssh keys from the metadata service and lay them down and do not run the GCP agent, we have standard config management + ldap for login after the first boot. This means that a hacker gaining access to your GCP credentials can't gain a shell on an existing instance trivially.
If you want a quick and kind of neat insight into your visual brain, find a photo of a face and try to draw it by eye (without tracing or measuring). Then turn it upside down and try again.

There's a whole bunch of image processing steps your brain turns off when you aren't recognizably looking at an object you know (especially a human face), and most untrained people will find they can draw a human face much better upside down.
PE is not important for child development. Exercise is. PE is a shitty kind of torture, a crappy simulacrum of doing some kind of physical activity you actually enjoy and would do voluntarily. In thought I hated sports, in part because of PE. Exercise is great. PE is an abomination.
The headline makes it look like this would come from official sources, but it doesn't.

This is roughly the same as our unemployment benefits, supposedly without the hassle. How health insurance is handled I can't see.

edit: People under 25 would probably benefit more, because currently they are disadvantaged. Something about parents liable for them, having to live at home, getting less because living at home with parents, and so on.
Sure, but some parents don't have the luxury of doing fewer hours at their job during the day like you. Weekends and vacations don't count.
Yes, I understand the point. But to your comment in a literal sense, if I were doing code review I would probably suggest using M_PI. Which happens to be a macro.

Which actually highlights that many things you want to use for practical purposes are C rather than C++, predate innovations such as const or namespaces, etc. It's possible and common to understand the downsides and still reach for the macro.

GCP (Config Connector) and Azure (Service something) both have similar things. I've not heard of it happening outside a managed k8s env.
Then it was pointed out wrongly and this isn't some spiritual talk. If you are able to retrofit new knowledge into the observations and categories you've previously formed by correcting what you already know and by changing perspective so that you can have proper inputs without causing contradictions, you understand it. Do you think curve fitting does this?
I think this is closer, but perhaps needs a slight change. I don't think it's out of spite; it's not like people are taking _more_ risk AFAICT. So maybe something like:
