Immigration. Make UBI only for citizens (and possibly permanent residents), and you'll have a large workforce who don't qualify for UBI and will have to take those jobs. Add a possible path to citizenship and you'll have people lining up at border to do all those jobs.

For the record, not a UBI proponent, nor do I think this is a good solution. It is however most likely solution, and how countries like Qatar have solved the problem.
To be precise on the McDonald's thing, it rents the land to the franchises and extracts the franchisee profits that way as no doubt it's tax efficient.
Exploring Scheme implementations for building web APIs coming from Node.js, Go
In the case of restaurants, many of the best didn’t need it. The diner down the street from me had a waiting line from 8 am until they closed at 3 pm every day. Why would the owner spend time on their website? Pandemic restrictions where you have to close your dining room or only use half your tables obviously changes the calculation.

I saw this generally when I ran a company that spun off from a university lab. The professor would constantly ask me why we weren’t working on our website. Meanwhile, I knew our toughest competitors didn’t even have websites because that wasn’t what drive our customers. Online presence is often not a priority if you’re actually delivering with an offline business.
We should make a clarification... The intent of KySync (as well as Zsync) is to use across systems, not on a single system. KySync supports HTTP (like Zsync) as well as HTTPS (which Zsync does not).

The primary reason to do the performance comparison on a single system, is so that the results are easy to replicate with as little setup as possible. Because we do this for both KySync and Zsync it is apples to apples.

HTTP bandwidth and storage cost money, and this is self funded project, so I can't afford to put up test files of data publicly visible to the world.

One thing we can look into is leverage AWS/S3 to upload some data and use it for a performance experiment, but that will need some logistics for the developer to set their AWS account properly. Will look into it.

Of course, the more similar the files are, the closer the remote results will be to this first set we published.
Thanks for the detailed reply. This matches my experience fairly well.

With the dynamics of the game laid out the way you said, do you see any reason to right swipe on someone of a relatively similar attractiveness to you? Or given it’s current parameters, does it always make more sense for women to try to match “up” and aim for men objectively more attractive than them?
> Maybe it's time we change attitudes towards menial jobs, then.

A menial job is not menial. It is just a job. Labels like "menial" and "low skill" aren't fair to anyone and are there to sell people on taking less pay.

This is really the truth. It is about time.

He's wrong about Pinball never being fixed for 64-bit and only working as a 32-bit app though. The OP video demonstrated that 64-bit versions exist and work fine.
There is a vast gulf between "finance company" and "regulated bank".

The levels of regulation is huge, and basically culture changing.

Coinbase is basically trying to avoid becoming a bank. If it finds it have to then, hey great more competition, but really I think the idea that "startup attitude" will be allowed by regulators or (because regulators basically follow what society has decided it wants from its banks over decades of scandals and abuse) what the market actually wants

As an example, there are loads of (US) fintech startups that let you store some money and pay at a shop. Because these are not banks and debit cards, they charge the customer nothing but can scalp the merchant who can do nothing. The fintechs are just playing regulatory arbitrage. It might end soon in which case dozens will drop out and the biggest get bought by real banks for their brand name and cool factor.
Because Iran has hacked drones, even American drones, repeatedly.

Manned aircraft aren't susceptible to that, but even then as Iran starts to get more modern Chinese and Russian SAM systems and gains experience with them Israeli manned excursions will get less frequent.

I was thinking about this - if I were a stalker, I wouldn’t bother with any physical device. I’d just add myself (or an innocuous looking account) to “share my location” on their phone.

The non-HN public would probably never notice, and it wouldn’t be too hard to get someone’s unlocked phone (especially in an abusive-relationship scenario)

What do you know about the history behind the "agreement with Britain about Hong Kong"?
I'd recommend iGEM, Synbiobeta, and the Biosummit (when the conferences are in person). Synbiobeta for industry, biosummit for the hacker vibes, and iGEM because almost every synthetic biologist passes through iGEM (plus can meet a bunch of cool people in similar situation)

There aren't really many bad conferences, just ones with different focuses (SEED for example is a very good science conference). Go to the one that matches your focus.

Here's the virology textbook - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0801663911 It's an oldie, but a good introduction.

Thanks for the good review :) Happy to send you some DNA using the Sporenet Protocol! It actually works, but the main problem is that there aren't materials (yet) to distribute using it. Building a company with a few friends of mine to build those materials.
I wish I could use it for everything as well. Every other tool the business depends on just scares me to shit that it's config isn't in code and we can't have a proper backup of it. At least Datadog supports terraform for most things and not only we manage all our infra through terraform we manage all our monitoring with it too. I doubt very much I'll ever go back to non-monitoring-as-code if that's even a term.

Infrastructure, all the monitoring as well as all the on-call rotation configurations (and anything else that is in that loop) should all be in code, and all changes should be reviewed the same way as application code does. If it doesn't, you can't really trust you're gonna be alerted properly when things start breaking.

I wish I could use it for personal things too, I'd rather have my bank account settings, my government tax information, yada yada in a personal terraform repository for example. Change of address? Commit a a change, check if the plan is good and apply to change it everywhere. Though having lots of experience with Terraform I can only imagine what the equivalent of trying to delete an S3 bucket that still has data in it is for a bank account.

Policies and politics like these, made the University of Florida kill its Computer Science program [http://tiny.cc/y5bjuz] - almost. So when you "Go Gators", perhaps its time to look at the UF contracts for hiring faculty.
I'll simply add to what other comments have said similarly, every aspect of this virus has its place, and the virus's origin is absolutely essential. We'll probably never know, and that's a horrifying thought. How do you learn from a mistake if it's never disclosed?

Frankly, I find the attitude that we should not pay considerable attention to the possibility that we created and lost control of this virus to be worse than the event itself, as it primes us for further catastrophes of the same sort.

The response to this virus having been manufactured and released should be as severe as our response to a nuclear weapon, or perhaps even more so.
Those factors are not in play in upscale shoe stores in LA. And I would still ascribe a low probability of finding even an under the table or illegal immigrant $10 per hour in LA in the last 10 years.
> Metal, which is secretly the best graphics API available today if you can put up with Apple

Part of what makes an API good is how portable code written against it is and with Metal that is exactly zero. Phrasing it as "if you can put up with Apple" is disingenuous. It's more like "if you're willing and can afford to only target one single platform that isn't even the most widely used, has very limited hardware choices and is outside the price range of significant chunks of the population".
That is mainly due to manufactures hiding info from their own customers, and Independant shops. That whole Right to Repair.

The typical consumer doesn't like paying $290.00 plus hr., the minute the warranty ends. I hope they don't like being fleeced? I see them sipping Starbucks in the lounge, and wonder sometimes.
> There is an oversupply of scientists who would do anything to work in their fields.

I'm pretty sure that's not true, and assumes that people will rationally accept a bad deal. Personal experience is that the better educated a worker is, the higher their expectations are for how they are treated. Example: tenured faculty at a college.
Yeah who cares. I've been using Linux on my (desk|lap)tops for over a decade. I really don't care what other people use.
Guarantee people most outraged about this are same people who wanted to yeet Mango Mussolini from Facebook and Twitter for being Russian agent.

This stuck out to me too. Terraform absolutely does check the current reality of the state and applies changes to do what the HCL tells is to. They are either using terraform in a really weird way, or this article was written by someone that doesn't actually run terraform themselves.

I do use streams, but that is the bare essence of it.
Even if the price is the lives of millions and the whole world in lockdown? We might be better off if you don't take the job then. Also you ignored the rest of the sentence you are quoting and my examples of highly skilled scientist who are willing to make that sacrifice in Antartica and the ISS.
Thank goodness it's only one reason. I was worried that if the workers of the US suddenly developed agency and started thinking for themselves, there could be many varied motivations.
> Yes absolutely it's incredibly relevant if world-crippling viruses are being engineered in labs, and should be a topic for public policy discussion.

The problem here is that countries can wrap this research under the banner of "natsec" and then there can be no further discussion. I see no way around that outside of crossing our collective fingers.

> COVID has been many times more damaging to the world than the bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Precisely. And this can be considered the "easy" version compared to what could potentially be created.

It's a nightmare scenario, and it's far more dangerous than nuclear weapons (unless that resulted in the end of civilization / "mutually assured destruction").

It could literally wipe out the planet before we have time to respond to it. Similar in that regard I suppose.

> we have to also consider the fact that this technology can make its way into the hands of bad actors

Those would have to be some really, really bad actors if they are willing to take out the entire planet, crossing all ideological and political boundaries.

I'm sure smarter minds than me are keeping an eye on this.
It's not true, and what you describe is correct.

I can only assume that the author has used some provider that hasn't implemented this properly (helm, I believe, is one example), or that they've run into one of the cases where terraform treats configuration/attachments to a resource as a separate resource (e.g. IAM role vs attached/inline IAM policies).
That's not exactly true. Vaccines don't tend to be highly profitable, and R&D is often subsidized by the government. Salk's polio vaccine was developed in a university lab and never patented.

Throughout history, it seems like there have been lengthy periods of technological stagnation. I once was listening to a medievalist who said people in the Middle Ages had no notion of technological progress (though I wonder if it is really true there was no tech advancement at that time).

This is one of the most fascinating academic studies I have come across recently, and I have been reading the original referenced paper linked to in the article [0]. The take away is industries that are evolving fastest are linked to software where the rate of progress is extraordinary. It really is true, “Software is eating the world”.

That's not what work done in lieu of rent means. Work done in lieu of rent will only replace part of rent. For example I might get annoyed that repairs aren't getting done and offer to do them instead of paying on month of rent as part of a yearly lease, but no one will allow you to only do maintenance and never pay rent.

Show me someone who, on the open markets, offers to allow you to live in a property in exchange for nothing else.

Perhaps that is the problem. Other developers came into JS, since that was where the jobs/money was, but wanted JS to be like the languages they left behind. Instead of adding onto JS in a “JS”-way, they pushed to change it to more closely mimic their previous languages. Now JS feels to me like this strange thing is JS at the core with these non-JS things bolted on around the edges. Syntactic sugar, like Class, that makes people coming from OOP languages feel like JS really is an OOP language like they are used to, while under the hood it is the same as always.

People trying to better for themselves is not them being entitiled. There is nothing noble about working hard for bad pay and in bad conditions just for the sake of being a hard worker.

If people are choosing other options instead of going back to their shit jobs, and the system isn't providing good enough opportunities for enough people that's a failing of the system, not of those people for lacking a strong Protestant work ethic and not rolling over and letting themselves be exploited.

Anyway the video is about these people choosing to work for themselves or being otherwise entrepreneurial, not being entitled and lazy like you are implying.
the only issue with java in this context is that you'll need to create a new class/transfer object between each function call that does things.

with elixir (the previous example) you'd likely use simple hashmaps or lists like {email: "mail"} or [:error, "reason for failure"].

That doesn't sound like its amazing, but actually is in practice, because the whole language is written with that in mind (pattern matching to effectively do function/method overloading depending on the value of each argument for example)

its very concise while still being very explicit.
The same would be possible with java, but you'll need to create a lot of classes/interfaces/enums/boilerplate to facilitate it.

i'd still prefer java any time at a dayjob though, because boring and dumb is generally better if you need to write code that's gonna be in use for decades... and likely going to be changed by a lot of people with varying levels of experience.

This history stops in 1995 which is right about when I started using Objective C for Swarm, an agent simulation system. We may have been the only major non-NeXTstep user of Objective C at the time. GNU Objective C was a key enabler for us; without it we couldn't have used it.

We picked ObjC over C++ because it was so much smaller and simpler. Also reflective, at the time it was very hard at runtime to learn anything about a C++ type. It was a pretty good match for our needs at the time. tclobjc also helped a lot because it let us use Tk for the GUI.
I’m an artist, I made something ten years ago that has continued to sell better than anything else I’ve done. It is nowhere near Star Wars big but it is the creative equivalent of a “lifestyle business”. This is, indeed, a genuine concern of mine that affects my own finances.

These are good to consider together. The trend and example that comes to mind is the 'design' of the tech in the movie 'Her'. Even with our current mobile devices there's more gestures and voice so that the 'design' elements fade into the background.

You need to direct the moralizing where it belongs - this decoupling of value from labor has been happening for decades, led by the managerial class and the economic priesthood.

I'd much rather develop software than scrub toilets, and yet the former is highly compensated while the latter is not. This is highly convenient if you're a software developer or (other) vectoralist, but is ultimately unsustainable for having a distributed economy. People deciding to not show up to do physical tasks for peanuts (while being told to ignore the pandemic) is the correction from the decades long trend of their work being devalued.

Although really I think this whole "labor shortage" thing is overblown. What really happened is a reorganization. Most jobs of last resort laid everyone off, and those people found new uses for their time - taking care of their own children, working for better-paying delivery companies, gig work where they didn't have to come into contact with screaming randos, etc. Now the jobs of last resort feel entitled to magically conjure "their" workers back, and are finding that they've gone elsewhere.

> banks are competitive at lending because they can fund cheaply with deposits.

This was my understanding until I read this article[1] which essentially asserts that banks’ primary function is to create money to be lent out. True, banks did start out as deposit taking entities which they still continue. However, banks don't make much profit from deposits. In fact deposits, being liabilities, cost them money to keep them safe. They keep those deposits in short term fixed investment funds, most of the long term loans made by a bank are from money created by itself.

That article is from none other than the Bank of England.

Hmm I think the answer is that “you don’t”. Unless a module is compiled into WASM that understand the memory representation of the JavaScript runtime the only way for the languages to communicate is at the raw byte array level. The only thing that can be done in that regard is holding pointer/reference to data that will be passed back into JavaScript from WASM.
That sounds like the worst of both worlds! A codified two tier underclass. With one part in an unemplyed malaise, angry at having no purpose, and blind to the benefits they recieve. The other part an exploited class with no rights or benefits.

Hm. I'd suggest a second advantage of the "ball with fuse" or "stick with fuse" - and from there, the "C4 with unrealistic timer LED" makes a lot of sense:

The fuse can act as an agent of suspense, just as Hitchcock described it. It's a very simple indicator - a red dot or a flame, and the length of the fuse is how long to go until an earth-shattering kaboom. And it's obvious what's going to happen to a character if they hold it, so it's easy to create suspense. "Oh no, now the protagonist has the bomb. Oh yes, now the villain has it. Oh no, now the villain tricked the protagonist and put the bomb in their pants!"

That is much more interesting from a story telling point of view than a realistic bomb - a bunch of C4 with a mobile phone strapped to it and zero way to understand when it will ruin your day. Unless you include the trigger for those in the story, but then complexity grows.
