Does that restaurant pay incoming career food service staff a wage sufficient to raise a family on?

A solid third of the households in the US take in under 50k/yr. More than half that are under 25k. I don't know about you, but 37k doesn't go far.

Assuming 30% effective tax rate that's 2158/mo.

1 bed flat in my city $1400

Cell phone bill: $100

Home internet: $100

Electricity: $50

Heating: $50

Healthcare: $230* assuming 50% sponsored

Car payment: $400

Insurance: $130

Without including food, dental insurance, deductible, OOP limits, retirement contributions, emergency savings, and anything at all for pleasure I've exceeded my budget. So, please, tell me more about how that's a good wage. How can someone go about improving ones position in life if they're kicked into a world that they'll never be able to afford? Should I go to college as an adult and get into eye watering levels of debt that'll follow me out of bankruptcy to keep bussing tables, like all the people that do just that? How can I juggle my full time job, side hustles at uber and lift (to keep the lights on), and a full course load? There are structural problems in society that no amount of blaming poor peoples bad decisions can wave away. Simple fact is some people with very large waists are going to have to tighten their belts so the millions of Americans whose only mistake was being born poor can have half of a fair chance at success and lead a modest yet dignified existence. There's no incentive for any halfway intelligent poor person to go to college unless they're a glutton for punishment, have a strong $upport network, and massive appetite for risk.

They're not sunk costs if you literally don't have money to pay for them.

Your argument wasn't in good faith. You're saying that minimum wage is a livable wage which is a demonstrably false statement. Then you're also claiming that the cost of living is a sunk cost.

Please read up on the difference between 'profit' and 'revenue'.
> margins - last time I looked they were around 60%. That means prices * sales only has to increase by 5x to bump earnings up 3x.

I am not sure about the logic (are you assuming marging expansion?) but probably you are trying to say something else than revenue has to increse "only" five-fold for earnings to triple.

Sure.

I use Chromecast heavily --- I used to have some problems with getting connected and staying connected until I replaced my ISP provided router with a new Netgear Nighthawk. On top of connecting to wifi taking about 1 second to complete (versus tens of seconds on the old router), I now have zero issues with Chromecast. Unfortunately the reliability of Chromecast is pretty dependent by how good your WiFi network is

I loved this part, and it is something we try to do in my current company when interviewing. Interview for potential. What are they good for, even if not for us, and with the purpose of keep the door open if they decide to come back later.

> I also try to stick to the default assumption that “everyone is an A player at something.” It’s a more effective and more dynamic way to approach an interview—a live, fascinating puzzle to discover what the elephant and the rider do well—rather than going in with the purpose of determining whether someone is an A player in a binary, Manichean way. I prefer to imagine that I’m trying to find the candidate the best possible job for them; it may be the job I had in mind, or something else altogether.

If I'm entering a lot of numbers, yes.

True. I think that would be a big footgun for them though. My friends and family use roku for my plex but load their own apps through it to bridge gaps. I can’t be the only one like that.
That depends on what you mean. If you mean, "Is it possible to have SMTP without a server?" the answer is no, by definition. SMTP is a client-server protocol. The same is true of IMAP and POP.

If you mean, "Is it possible to have something that has an email-like UI/UX without a server" the answer is yes. But it won't interoperate with what we call email today, because that is fundamentally based on SMTP.

In fact, the original email was serverless because it only worked on a single machine. That protocol is actually still in use today. Cron jobs error logging message of last resort is to send email to root@localhost, which is done without any networking at all.
>...unless you're not paying for those because you literally don't have any money.

That's not how accounting works. If you got a FAANG job that paid $300k/year, then proceeded to blow $60k on a tesla, your net pay for the job isn't $240k.
I've had the thought before that a "team secretary" for programmers would be a huge productivity and QOL boost. I don't think every single developer needs one, but one shared among 4-10 programmers? Might make a ton of sense.

Examples: is it in the company's best interest for an expensive developer to spend a paid hour getting some time-off set up, using company processes, rather than two minutes sending an email? If the company switches from Asana to Jira, say, or (god forbid) one developer needs to use multiple such tools because they're working for clients with certain preferences, or across teams in an org that have different tools, is all the switching time, plus the actual day-to-day overhead of using either of those systems, for every single developer, a great use of company money? Or would it be better to have a standard interface for all those administrative tools (i.e. a person)? Someone to handle formatting and proofreading proposals, maybe. All that kind of stuff that you 100% do not need someone with a CS degree and 10+ years of development experience to do.
> How are you defining "market power in any market?"

This is already a concept that exists under established antitrust law. It's complicated and ugly and could probably use some reform, but it's also a different part of the equation. "Does this company have market power" is a separate question from what do we do if they do, for which the proposal is to prohibit vertical integration.

> Is it just if a company gets 20% of a market? 50%? 70%? 90%?

Market power has very little to do with what percentage of the market the company holds. For example, in a market with two local ISPs where one has 95% of the market and the other has 5%, they could both have market power because the market is so consolidated that the company with 5% could still be able to dictate terms to customers. On the other hand, a company with 99% market share might not have market power, if barriers to entry are low and any attempt to raise prices would cause new competitors to enter the market, as is the case with e.g. Walmart.

> Mailchimp arguably has "market power" in email marketing (70%). Should they have been allowed to get into the social post scheduling business? Using your argument, you could call that unfair competition for social media management Saas tools like Buffer, since Mailchimp already holds market power over one area of the marketing stack.

I don't see the trouble here. Mailchimp may or may not have market power (I don't know enough about that specific market to evaluate it), but knowing 70% isn't really that informative. If they do have market power then preventing them from leveraging it to destroy Buffer is good. If they don't then they wouldn't be prevented from entering the other market.
I use a Makerdiary M60 open-source programmable keyboard that runs a Python variant: https://makerdiary.com/pages/m60-mechanical-keyboard

I tweaked the code a bit to customize a few things, but the main draw is actually the USB vs. Bluetooth functionality. I use two computers simultaneously (nowadays, a Mac and a PC) and ever since the advent of USB in the 1990's I've been looking for a KVM or USB switch that can instantly switch a single keyboard back and forth between two computers. I never found one--all of them have some delay or some other issue.

But the M60 is perfect in that regard. It connects to the Mac via Bluetooth, and to the PC via USB. A single keypress instantly switches it back and forth between the two. It keeps both connections live, and just swaps back and forth. It can also store separately keyboard configurations for each, so I set it up to swap the Alt/Command keys on the Windows/USB side.

It's not perfect in other ways. There are a few bugs with the Python code base, and the maintainer has been slow to update it. Also, it's a bit weird to have a keyboard that has to reboot if you cut the power. But it's reliable and has served me well for months now, and there is nothing else like it.
If we're talking about an unsupported devices, aren't the downsides of third party repairs basically moot? There are any number of above-board companies that you can ship your device to and will do a battery swap for you so long as batteries are available.
And it also bears mentioning that if you're buying a market cap weighted fund then you aren't really missing out too much on US equity dominance, since for example VTWAX holds ~60% US stocks.

The three individual "stimulus checks" went to everyone whether they worked or not.

But in addition, unemployed people have been getting unprecedented amounts of weekly Unemployment Insurance payments. In normal times, you can only get these for a few months while proving that you are actively looking for work. During the pandemic, these have been extended and greatly increased, and the government has mostly stopped checking whether people were really looking for work. The normal rules are going to go back into effect soon, though.

This is a bad summary which ignores the important aspects of the discussion:

- When you do a research, you have to get consent from your subjects.

Though they do literally seek rent from their tenants, landlords who provide housing (or commercial real-estate) are not rent-seeking in the economic sense of that phrase, which is to seek to improve your economic position without creating any benefits for others. Providing housing or office space is clearly creating benefit for others.
I rearranged my CI graph to run notarization in parallel with my unit tests, and turned on GitLab's DAG to allow jobs from different stages to run at the same time as long as their dependencies are satisfied, so the impact of the notarization step has been small.

My CI pipeline is build -> test -> deploy. The Mac "build" job uploads the app for notarization as a side effect. There is an additional "mac archive" job during the test stage. This job runs general tests on the DMG (checks code signing is valid, makes sure I'm not depending on system libraries), then waits for notarization to finish and staples the DMG. By the time I'm done mounting and checking the DMG, notarization is almost done anyway.

My typical release time right now (from git push to having a fresh app available to install for windows/linux/mac) is 7 minutes. I think I could get it down to around 3 minutes with optimizations.

My primary bottleneck right now is building / xz-compressing a windows installer (which means my windows tests finish last).
Yes, there are hilarious numbers of plugin audio filters, you probably just need to install the extras. I know on my system they got installed by default but I have seen them absent before on bare bones installs.
The (now gray) comment talks about being double taxed. That is, taxed twice for the same money.

If I invest $100 (post-tax money) and sell the investment at $1000, I do not pay taxes on that $100. There is no double taxing. I do pay taxes on the $900 gain.
You can redownload supporting apps, but the problem is that the official App Store doesn't have them once a new version of OS comes out.

I remember when in 2014 I decided to give away my unused iPad 1st gen, just as a e-reader. So I've erased it but no apps were supporting this device already. Even the official Apple Books app.

Yes, techicaly it wasn't bricked, it worked, you still can turn it on and off. But without software it's useless.
"Double taxation" as a concept is complete nonsense. You pay sales tax, property tax, VAT, etc out of money (or assets bought with money) that has already been subject to your income tax. You pay both federal and local income taxes on the same money. Tax systems are naturally layered, and have been since the beginning of civilization.

There are good arguments against capital gains tax, but this is not one of them.

> The authors say that these complex patterns urge a re-evaluation of the deeply rooted paradigm that comparing brain size to body size for any species provides a measure of the species' intelligence.

The "deeply rooted paradigm" is not what it seems.

People aren't saying bigger brain size means X. They'd say something different next year, if that's what was necessary to fit their narrative. What they are really saying is that humans are more entitled to resources than other animals.

It's always been that way, whether the metric is brain size, skin colour, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or football team allegiance. Humans find whatever facts are convenient to support their own team.

When humans talk about "intelligence", what they really mean is entitlement to resources.

I think that's grossly overstating things. I'd put it this way: C compiled for the WebAssembly runtime is more secure than C in a traditional OS context, however, it has fewer defenses available that protect the program against it's own bugs, including those triggered maliciously.

That's because the way you're using secure is likely misleading to most people; two WASM programs will be more strongly isolated from one another than two normal programs. The host has better protection from a WASM program than a C program. Those protections are akin to a VMs, but likely better.

The protections that are missing aren't irrelevant, but likely less relevant than in an OS context because WASM's I/O is so heavily constrained. Malicious data is still a possibility, but not quite as trivially triggerable as in any other networked program. Similarly, once hacked, those same limitations make the scope for mischief much, much more limited.

Sure, there are attacks conceivable against a WASM program that couldn't work when protected by various defenses in depth available to a "normal" OS program, but the reverse is true too - if you will; the scope of bugs is much, much smaller in WASM, but within that limited scope they'll be more easily triggerable. However, since the scope is so limited, I have a hard time believing the net effect is negative in practice.

Buy an electroshock "stun gun". Get some magnet wire. Make a coil. Hook the ends of the coil to the output of the electroshock device (scrape away the insulation enamel and solder it in place.) Ideally you'd heat-shrink those connections (slip the heat shrink around the coil wire before soldering, slide it into place, shrink it) and cable lace/tie to keep the coil formed nicely.

That's about it.
I agree. When I left the Bay Area at the start of the pandemic, I felt a surprising surge of freedom.

The salaries and jobs in the Bay Area are great, but they come with the big caveat of choosing between (1) living near work, but spending a fortune to rent small, old apartments forever or (2) having a better living space, but with a nightmare commute.

Isn't that the same way it works for buying stocks?

I don't live in the US, but if I buy stocks for 100$, then sell them five years later for 150$, I have to pay a percentage of the winnings (so a % of 50$). This means that if inflation was more than what's left over after the taxes are removed then I would effectively "lose" money.

They're not "sunk costs", they're "basic necessities". They have to be paid for every month (or whatever period), so if a job doesn't provide enough money to pay for them, it is not paying a living wage.

But this is good for caching materialized view in the client

1- subscribe to event and buffer event

2- run SQL query for your materialized view

3- apply all buffered event and new event to incrementally update the materialized view

this way the (slow/expensive) query of the materialized view don't need to be run periodically and your cache always is always fresh without need to set TTL.

If you websocket connection get disconnected, drop the materialized view and repeat step #1.
