But what effect would lack of price floor have on labor?

You guessed it right, serfdom.
The ultimate "capitalist" system.

Labor is not a typical price elastic product, when it is required to live, its price is relatively inelastic. The capitalist always has a way to drive the cost of labor down, whether it is by overloading workers or not. The workers do not have the means to negotiate hiring price in most instances, so equilibrium analysis does not apply either way.
One side has a smooth choice, the other has barely a binary choice, and ofte not even that.

Setting a price floor on a price inelastic good will not increase the price because people will not buy/sell less of it.
Demand and supply is unchanged.

Additionally, employers are not buying people's labor off a market. There's not a "list of all employees where they set the price they want to work for" which would be required for employment to be an actual market. When an employee cannot set the price, market price discovery just does not work by definition. The "job market" is a glib lie. Only the employers compete, but employees do not. And employers do everything to prevent price discovery or make their option the only possible one.

Ever heard of work rules to not share your wage with coworkers? Is that compatible with free market?

One thing I like about the European shows is that they feel 'fresh' and more connected to life here.

American shows tend to focus on American themes that feel a little alien to us Europeans. So many military / intelligence team shows, or police shows set in megacities where everyone carries guns.

When I grew up in the 80s/90s, American shows were better than local ones because European actors were very bad at acting. I think this was mainly because they were being trained at schools that still trained for stage plays, with exaggerated pronounciation and gesturing.

But now European shows are also excellent. Thinking of the German DARK, the Spanish casa de papel ("money heist"). It's indeed the translation but also the quality that makes it watchable.

Netflix did indeed boost this partly due to that law mandating the 30% local content but I don't think it's the only reason.
This is a rather pretentious take. Not sure I agree that a lowest-common-denominator i.e. violence and sex TV-drama counts as common culture. The setting could be whatever, it would still sell using the same tropes. I guess it is in a way similar to how McDonald is European "common food culture"..
Accusing whistleblowers and reporters is indeed common - it pretty much seems the standard behavior in infosec in particular.

What I meant was something different. The breach, as I understand it, was quite critical. Ubiquiti in this case could take the standard corporate spiel of "it has hallmarks of a nation state attack, there was nothing we could do" bullshit disclaimer - but given the nature of this breach, every customer of theirs would now be wondering if $Enemy has put malware in their infra, and whether it isn't a good idea to smash it all with a hammer and buy new one from someone else. So I suspect Ubiquiti is going the other way, blaming it on a single, inconsequential individual, that absolutely, positively didn't give access to anyone else, and thus nobody's infra was in any danger.

(Note: I have no inside knowledge, or even any deep knowledge, of this topic - I'm just a random Internet person speculating.)

I recently built a site for publishing photographs I am takin weekly.

It’s all in Golang. Using Pulumi to deploy into AWS. CDN, API Gateway, Lambda, S3.

I’m planning to add DynamoDB for metadata and the recently released S3 feature which allows for on-the-fly transformations of objects.

It’s been a breeze. Absolutely loving it compared to all the static generators and JS-heavy alternatives I’ve built in the past.

I also find some pleasure in finding the resulting HTML being neat too.

4 years ago one of my clients wanted to "donate" a system for the local fire department to help them do a quick proximity search to find the fire hydrants and quickly choose the healthy one near the fire.

And since it was charity and had a bunch of private data Google was not an option ($$$$), so I (just a full-stack developer back then) was like "listen I have no idea what is this GIS stuff, but I'll give it a try", after a quick research boom PostGIS, reading the docs and testing things, plus QGIS to visualize and to help understand it better 10/10!

That was my unintentional "career" shift, thanks to PostGIS I'm now a senior dev at the largest food delivery company (local), specialized in GIS and realtime data driven systems using PostGIS everyday lol

I will nitpick and say that models don't compress data but extract useful information. Compression lossly or lossless is for data reconstruction. Machine learning models retain information that generalises

The reduction in poverty is linked to the overwhelming expansions of science and technology. Most of the modern economy was impossible due to knowledge constraints in 1700.

And it isn't so much that capitalism is a cause, as all the things that aren't capitalism absolutely scupper technological progress. Eg, in extreme cases bureaucrats literally ban technological progress because it is too disruptive (see, for example, encryption).
But you can't even play a chord progression in tune without changing the root tone.

Not dissing this, it's a cool experiment and I like the visualization, but there's a reason strict just intonation hasn't been used for 500 years.

I agree and it's why I'm a fan of apps that sync data via something like Dropbox or Google Drive. The application can still be file based and the developer doesn't have to run servers. There are the obvious limitations, but for personal use it works pretty well.
That is why they would dislike him. But not why 20 people would comment on a thread. Who even remembers the spammers on forums? Not many.
English subtitles would be awesome but Netflix for some reason want to force users to use closed captions. There's always a long list of subtitle languages and then one in English with closed captions.

X-Plane has a big advantage by the fact that it has been out much longer. Their built-in Garmin GNS430 / 530 and G1000 are not exact replicas of the real ones (subtle differences in behavior and missing functions). However you can fix that with a simple add-on, because RealityXP sells an add-on that lets you connect the real actual Garmin simulator software that is often used for training (which you can download for free) with the simulator. And if you do that the buttons are all 100% exactly the same as in the real thing.

I'm expecting this type of thing to be released for MS FS as well over the coming years. It just takes time for these third parties to write a version for MS.
I've always heard of defense contractors being notorious for cost overruns and going beyond schedule. What military contacts bearing jail time are you referring to?
In that, first, they weren't subject to famines from natural causes, like tribesmen were (and still are).

Second, there weren't just field slaves, but also house slaves, eating quite well.

Third, their cooking is were a lot of "southern food" recipies originate from.

But all this is neither here, nor there. You're focusing on the wrong detail. The point I'm making is illustrative, it's not about whether all/most slaves where better fed.

It's about the opposite, that better fed/more wealth doesn't automatically equate to freedom/dignity etc.

They were still slaves.

In the same vein, "colonies were better off" is not the be-all end-all criterion.
This always made sense to me, for example a profit driven TV station would have never put any money into creating say a children show based on national culture(Romanian children stories) when they could just get almost free stuff from Disney(because Disney also sells toys and other products they gain a lot if a new product is published in new markets).

When my child was very young I found only a small number of cartoons with Romanian content and most of that is stuff before 1989.

Off topic, for Romanian audio only stories I found this youtube playlist that grabbed the old vinyl tales we grew up with, I suggest you have a look and maybe backup them too, who know how much time they will be up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2rQVK1ig8g&list=PLFO3TQ182_...

I have tons of chargers because I have had a smart phone for ten+ years. Most of the chargers are usb, not USB-C, so that won't help me if I buy an iPhone, although I have an old cable so that would be fine.

However anybody buying their first phone, anybody selling the old phones or anybody wanting to take advantage of fast charging would need a new(er) charger they might not have.
While I can't speak for Europe as a whole, I do recall that violent crime comparisons twixt the US and the UK fall afoul of not measuring the same crimes.

The definition of "violent crime" in the UK covers much more than it does in the US.

Just numbers are meaningless.

Without the location's demographics you can't conclude nothing. Or maybe that's the point.
Is that feasible when the device is only supported for 3 years max? This is a serious question. Just bought a new pixel 5, because the pixel 3 I had bought refurbished 2 years ago will lose support in October. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the pixel 3, it's literally the same phone with slightly older innards and no wide angle camera.
Wow. If you can share, what particular aspects require their certification?
The numbers are hard to compare given they're not normalized. Murder rates are commonly given as murders per year per 100K inhabitants. Usually, countries with low rates have around 0.5-1.0 (like European countries), The States has around 5, the worst rates can be found in some Latin American countries in the 20-50 range.

>Norway has some of the lowest homicide rates worldwide (about 10x fewer per capita vs US), and is also a tiny country population-wise.

That's why you compare the crimes commited per capita. The demographics of Norway and that of the USA is nothing alike.
This is true for the moment. I'd love for more science fiction stuff to get moving, like solar collectors in orbit and microwave beaming the power back to the surface. (Of course any high concentration of power is inherently also abusable as a weapon...) We also have to worry about the addition of energy to the earth as an acceleration of global warming, which might be offset by making the top of all of our cities and roads reflective (often white, sometimes clear metal) instead.
The search space of phone numbers is far too small to offer any type of anonymity. Submitting a phone number's hash is no more secure than submitting the phone number itself.
Netflix to their credit does let you switch audio language and subtitling to any version they have available for the most part as far as I can tell (with some hilarious results, as for some shows the dubbing and subtitling does not always match well - my son noticed this with anime shows where the English audio and subtitles often say entirely different things)

Though I also wish they'd let me set better defaults. They let you give a list of languages you prefer, but that's too simplistic. E.g. I'd prefer to always get original audio, but subtitles matching the audio in a handful of languages I know well enough to follow if I can read but not only by audio, and falling back to English.

Instead you need to check for each series what is available, or set it broad and change it per program accordingly.
Nope. Opening it to public will cause them a lot of money so I don't think it'll happen in the near future.

They are probably providing it to good profitable business ideas that you submit through the application forms since they want to cover their costs.

So convince them that you have a good idea & they'll give you access.

California water policy is a complete shambles because of the archaic system of “senior rights”, people or more likely corporations that get to use as much water as they want because someone nailed a notice to a tree in the 1800s, on a use-it-or-lose-it basis, before junior rights holders are served. Since water is not priced equally for all users, or even priced at all, this encourages irrational uses on low-value crops like alfalfa rather than high-value ones like almonds or pistachios or fruit.

Any effort to reform this system has been stymied by litigation, water rights being seen as property and subject to the takings clause of the constitution. In most countries with less stable governments revolutions led to land reforms and redistribution, also for water. As Mark Twain reportedly said, “whisky is for drinking and water for fighting over”. It’s like the UK where most land is still owned by the inbred descendants of feudal robber barons, and most residents of London don’t own the land under their houses, but only lease them for 100 years from the Duke of something or the other.
Well, what's the issue?

As a European, this article is the degree of pretentious, market-driven, and shallow, that fits perfectly with the Economist.

"Streaming subtitled box sets" are not "the new Eurovision", and Eurovision itself meant and means squat when it comes to "common European culture". (If anything Eurovision is something most of us watch for laughs, and more often than not we take sides and vote for countries we already knew and liked for other cultural and historical reasons).

We have had and have a quite good understanding of other European states and their cultures, even more so when they share the same borders (as it's often the case in Europe - to have 2, 3 or more countries sharing your borders and have millenia of interaction with them and their culture, plus "shared" areas of mixed culture, e.g. Strasbourg).

It's not the lack of Netflix's European programming or watching each other's shows that prevented a "common European culture".

Not to mention, we have had something like that, both in the high-brow sphere (for centuries), but also in the pop-culture.

E.g. non-artsy Italian and French cinema from Alain Delon to Bud Spenser was big all-over Europe until the 80s when Hollywood dominated with emphasis on impossible to meet big productions and vfx. European pop music frequently travelled all over Europe, from Al Bano to Roussos and from Nina Hagen to Kraftwerk. Comics too, French, English, Italian, Belgian, Spanish (to namedrop some that were published and loved all over Europe: Asterix, Tin Tin, Mortadelo y Filemon, Lucky Luke, Blek, Judge Dredd, the Smurfs, Manara, Corto Maltese, and so on).

And as somebody mentioned, Interrail and Erasmus have been going strong for 3 to 4 decades now or more... (I've done the first, and have had many friends doing both the first and the second.).
Why not just release a compressed CSV of just the numbers? I could grep it in 1 second without worrying about leaking information.

What does matter I believe is marketing.

"It's just marketing" is an age old refrain from tech people. As a group, we still haven't figured out that marketing works and matters. Nor have we figured out the kinds of features that lead successful products.

> What evidence is there that Trump or anyone else had a financial incentive to untowardly push HCQ?

I assume you are not denying that they did push it - so, I want to ask in return: for what other reason did they (specifically Bolsonaro and Trump) push it in this way? Given that it was not backed by science.

Changing the battery is an operation that you likely only do once in the phone's lifetime. It doesn't make sense to have design constraints just to make that operation super-quick.

Currently it takes an hour at most to do at any repair shop. It's good enough. What matters is that it's possible for a reasonable price.
Lowbrow culture is still culture.
No, your post clearly lacks cites for your claims because you expect me to go look them up on my own. By your logic that's not logic.

The OPs claims were not flippant and are easy to verify. Erhk was being lazy and trying to pin that laziness on the OP. It's the very behavior LMGTFY was invented to expose.

Demanding citations for easily checked facts is one of the primary signs of bad-faith arguing.
Which is irrelevant when you do not have lift capacity, landing assets or any ability to actually supply the landing force. They could MAYBE land a brigade(which they could not supply for any length of time), said brigade would get squashed during night counter attack on day 1.

Landing a modern military force ashore then suplying it requires immense naval capacity that PRC just does not have. They could obtain it but such buildup would be impossible to hide and would take time. Not to mention you need to practice actually doing it.. before D-day allies landed in Diep, in NA, Sicily and Italy. From zero to landing on beaches in Taiwan would make Galipolee seem like height of military genius.
Just a "fun fact" of "Casa de Papel": it was a national series from Atresmedia and later it was bought by Netflix who reedited and redistributed it, making it much more popular
To quote myself: "homicide rates".

So yes I was comparing per-capita. However Norway is so tiny that fluctuations of even +/- 50% year-to-year are likely to be just noise.

A tiny country may have one homicide one year, then three the next. Or as a journalist would put it: "Murders in Norway skyrocket. Up 200%."
I haven't read the Tesla small print but I'm sure there's something to the effect of the $10k gets you the hardware and Tesla will do their best to make FSD software work but can't guarantee that.

And aside from the small print does anyone really think they were guaranteed to make working L5 technology? I'm an optimist but I think it's always been uncertain as to whether they could succeed.
It's not necessary to respond with knee-jerk ready-made phrases for everything...
I don't.

Linux's memory management subsystem is really good. It's almost magic. And modern SSDs are really fast. So whatever swapping is going on in the background I really don't feel it.

It's basically an OS managed database. Instead of the SQL server doing the swapping to-and-from the disk, Linux does it for me.
"Researcher" isn't synonymous with "academic", but it's not synonymous with "blogger" either.

Part of my point is that an actual researcher, i.e. a professional, would have followed due procedure, contacting the author of the book privately and asking for clarifications, and generally giving the other person an opportunity to examine and respond to criticism.

Academics criticise each other's work constantly but this is acceptable because the purpose is to improve one another's work, not to tarnish each other's reputation and drag their name through the mud.

As things are, it is clear to me the blog post above is meant to kick up an internet storm with accusations of "deliberate data manipulation" and the misleading statements about an "official response" from Berkeley etc. These are the actions of a scandal-monger, not a researcher.
