In the short term, obviously. But how about thinking about moving to an economic system where raising the minimum wage is not necessary?
Skepticism doesn't require being supported. It is the default perspective when facing a scientific assertion.

Conversely, affirmative scientific assertions require the support of relevant reproducible facts. Appeals to authority or consensus are not a source of such support, and should not form part of our scientific discourse.

Definitely some subjectivity to this question, but I'm the opposite: to me the curly braces are the anachronism, a relic of a time when the programmer had to do lots of extra stuff to help the language parser/compiler.

For awhile it was awkward because it was up to the programmer to keep the redundant block delimiters in sync - the braces (for the computer) and the whitespace (for the human). The fact that modern editors and IDEs for those languages now do the housekeeping on behalf of the human is great, but it seems odd that it's needed at all, and it always feels especially cumbersome when returning to those languages that still require it if I've been away for awhile.

Devils advocate:

The eocene period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eocene was roughly 50 million years ago and the Earth was 15 celcius warmer than it was today. We are worried about 1.5celcius, not 15 celcius.

From that time, the Earth became ~20 celcius colder about 20,000 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Glacial_Maximum

Which was 6 celcius colder than today. Did humans cause the 6 celcius in warming between 20 and 10 thousand years ago?

For the last 10,000 years the Earth has bounced around +- 1 celcius and current day climate change in the last couple hundred years ago is less than that bouncing back and forth.

What exactly have humans caused? The standard deviation of temp in the last 10,000 years has not changed. We can't be blamed for any of the other actual climate change.

The climate changes and so far humans havent changed anything.

The point is the the US has a neat way of avoiding individual responsibility with that setup.
Judges are way more impartial since they have personal accountability, that's how the rest of the world does it, where a trial by jury is simply, and provenly the wrong tool for complex special domain cases.

[1] p1514:

According to these results, the patentee is significantly more likely to
win a jury trial if:
(1) the infringer is foreign;
(2) the infringer is a corporation;
and (3) the patentee is the plaintiff.
The multivariate regression model further supports the conclusion that American juries favor domestic over foreign parties in patent trials.

[1] p1510:

Patentee win rate by Party Alienage:

Patentee-Accused Infringer / Jury / Judge

Domestic-Domestic / 71% / 29%
Foreign-Domestic / 38% / 31%

Productivity gains are all in tech - mostly software at that. Seriously, I’d guess 95% of all gains in that time period. The people implementing that tech have captured a slice of the value. Senior engineers with no degree can and do pull in $500k. And how could they not? It may not be easy to do a start up, but it’s trivial. At the same time, companies are competing for employees in their rapidly expanding markets - fighting for billions of future dollars. The people being replaced or made to be more productive have not captured any of that value nor do I see any market based reason why they would. Do their jobs require specialized skills now? No, nothing more than a bit of training… in fact demand is down for them.

Productivity gains and wages are strongly coupled but productivity gains are not uniformly distributed.

>I bet a lot of folks here won't want to hear this, but we really are vastly overpaid for what we do.

Yeah, coz this view is driven largely by the just world fallacy. Either that or the perplexing idea that quality of life is driven by iphone ownership and cheap clothes rather than availability of medical care, education and a roof over your head.

The fact that education, home ownership and medical care are still reasonably priced compared to our incomes but almost nobody else's while wealth inequality has taken off like a rocket suggests that it is most other professions that are underpaid - not us who are overpaid.

The fact that our incomes kept up with productivity while median incomes decoupled in 1981 suggests likewise.

I'm shopping for houses not quite as good as what my teacher parents were 40 years ago and I'm in the top 2% of incomes while they were a bit above average.

The simulation theory rests on a hypothesis that there are certain conditions outside of simulation, but if external conditions are certain, then the simulation has limited flexibility and is thus falsifiable. For it to be unfalsifiable external conditions must be at least unfathomable, which takes away the premise of the simulation theory that it correctly guessed external conditions.

You can make up a kind of hierarchy of 'content aggregation' at the top of which is stuff like actually licensing the content or providing additional analysis and commentary, always with attribution. At the bottom would be things like straight up copypasting content stripped of attribution or slightly rewording it, again without attribution and effectively claiming it as your own.

This looks like a case of one bottomfeeder attacking another bottomfeeder by means of Google's shoddy DMCA handling. I find it hard to pick out heroes or even sympathetic victims in this as well.

My response is about integrity as it pertains to the discussion - as a property of a person.

Note that (2) and (3) are not about people.

We don't say that someone who is not impaired (in "an unimpaired condition") has "integrity". We call them able and other things.

We don't say that someone who is "complete or undivided" has integrity either (we use the term "complete" for humans, but there it means something like satisfied or fulfilled).

(2) and (3) are not about integrity as in "X has integrity".
It's about integrity as a property of things, in usages like "structural integrity", "mechanical Integrity" (the same sense used when we talk about "integrals" and so on).

And you made it sound like I did something nefarious. Talking about integrity (1).
The world added about a billion people to the 'middle class' with associated increases in consumption. At the same time, especially in the US, there were not the investments in infrastructure & domestic production needed to add productive capacity to meet the overall increase in demand. Instead, the US economy (in particular) has become 'financialized' with investment flowing to speculation, high interest lending & financial product creation - leading to a massive increase in 'accounting dollars' that has to be met (at some point) with an offsetting amount of 'real dollars' on the Fed or Treasury balance sheet. Put another way, there are effectively 3 US Federal Reserves: The real one, the one represented by offshore US dollar denominated financial products (eg. Eurodollars, US denominated foreign debt), and domestic financial products (eg derivatives, Corporate bonds).

Put simply, a Cambrian-like explosion of investment is where we find ourselves. The write downs needed to revert to a stable mean would similarly be fiscal mass extinction events for many enterprises & households.

On the cheating point, I think casual academic cheating is a subset of behaviors of "making the grade without actually learning", which ostensibly leads to credential inflation. Cramming material without retention is one example. One can cheat oneself out of learning without actually cheating.
> Seems likely that there will eventually be a care out for trucking since that industry was not really the target of AB5 in the first place.

AB5 which codified the existing ABC test, made it consistent so that people in one working relationship with an employer wouldn't be employees for some purposes and contractors for others, and carved out industry specific exceptions to the test—those exceptions were the specific “targets”, not every other industry in the state where the existing judicially-applied ABC test was merely codified. Trucking already got some exceptions in AB5 (so they kind of were a “target”); they might get more.

The gig-economy firm propaganda that they were targets of AB5, rather than just a particular moneyed interest that was out of compliance with the law before AB5, is inaccurate.

Personally, I could care less if the UI elements themselves are fuzzy when using non-integer scaling. I love high-dpi screens mainly for reading text, and as far as I can tell non-integer scaling doesn't seem to make it fuzzy? Either way, it's way less "fuzzy" than standard-dpi displays where you can actually make out pixels very easily.
I don’t know anything about what you are working on, if you say it works for your specific use case, fine. A better question for you would be, do you believe you could not write that UI if Typescript didn’t exist? You’d be able to, but I know you’ll argue ‘but it would be much more painful’.

Maybe, maybe not. But to entertain you, if the breadth of Typescript solves your niche needs, do you believe most UIs require that same exhaustive usage? Because that’s what’s happening, I’ve seen very simple things overusing it.

I don’t have much more to say about this, but happy to hear your last word.
Yeah if anything it's the opposite. As soon as there was wage growth, the fed would drop interest rates to keep people from saving that sweet money they got and push them into investing it in rich people.

It's just an opinion, but in exchange for the speed hit you get a huge decent standard library, and lots of high quality libraries that you can stitch together much more easily than in C.

Yet they still take unnecessary resources through taxes. So it will not be me who will claim for their existence. The number of politicians should be minimized and with low ideology-propagating behaviors.

This is not what I see at all. In fact, the more I researched about USA lately, the more surprised I was about all the polarization. Even more, and this one disappointed me even more: the USA I see today, the discourses I see, the principles I see being applied is like destroying the pillars that founded that nation.

I am not american, but I really, really, I mean, really admire the foundations on which that country was founded. You are destroying them IMHO.

For some (non-casual) reason USA has been prosperous, the cradle of the modern civilization (with all its downsides, I know many of them, yes) and that reason was the mindset of having opportunities and chances to improve your lives without the nose of all those bureaucrats getting into your lives.

The media you mention, the control, the politicians, the regulations. Each of those is a door to corruption. De-regulation (or minimal regulation, if that cannot exist) is by its own right the least corrupt of the systems: it does not give chances for favors and crony capitalism.
>I think you could consider looking out of the people under you as mouths to feed as moral.

That's a quality a mafia boss might also have (taking care of its own team/employees/famiglia). Doesn't mean they have integrity (heck, it's not even moral - not every quality that results to the good of some people is moral).
Confusing product offerings aren't the reason for stagnation and decline. Intel did great when they had confusing and competitive product offerings.

They're in decline because their product development pipeline for CPUs depends on their fabrication pipeline, and their fab pipeline was stalled for several years. It seems like the fab pipeline has been unblocked, maybe, as Intel 10nm products are starting to appear in bigger numbers. We'll see if that unblocks their CPU pipeline in the next year or two, I guess.

Deaths from natural disasters are still near historic all time lows (despite population being at all-time highs): https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-deaths-from-nat...

Sea level rise trend is consistent (and not accelerating) at 2.24mm / year for the last 120 years. That's equivalent to a change of 0.73 feet in 100 years (not an emergency by any stretch): https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/est/est_station.shtml?stni...

Crop yield and productivity is up 50% or more since 1991:

Wheat - https://www.nass.usda.gov/Charts_and_Maps/Field_Crops/wwyld....

Of course, that's to be expected, because CO2 (essential ingredient of photosynthesis) and warmth are generally good for plants, so long as there's sufficient sunlight and precipitation, which there has been.

So tell me, how is your life worse off than your ancestors from the pre-industrial era?
Not really. There's also estrogens from birth control, for instance.
To give an example of this connection from a standpoint of science, it is well documented that simply emerging your face in the water triggers something called a "mammalian diving reflex".

What this reflex does is basically automatically slow down your heart rate as soon as your face is submerged, as the body prepares to conserve oxygen for the expected dive. Very useful!

Now, it is no surprise that aquatic mammals like seals and dolphins have this, but it very curious that humans have it too!

The huge dependence on plastics as a replacement for metal components really does cause a lot of systems to break down.

Yes, maybe they were planned to break down, but you can understand that for the end user, it certainly doesn't appear like a system with high build-quality.

But ignoring that point, yes, the drive-train is excellent. German engines and transmissions are first-rate. However counting on that as giving you an advantage in the world of electric vehicles doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
The hammer analogy breaks down from the get-go for me. The main distinguishing factor between a framework and a library is the classic "you call a library, but a framework calls you."

A better (but still imperfect) analogy might be buying a timber frame (with plan) versus home-rolling a stick frame from the ground up. With the planned timber frame house, the rough layout of the rooms and plumbing and such is somewhat predetermined, and as such it "calls you" in the sense that you're building out the amenities, but with the ground-up stick frame, you're explicitly making all the framing decisions too.

Like all things, there are bad frameworks, but scoped appropriately (simply) they can be incredibly useful. Just like houses, it turns out there are many ways in which web services are similar to each other and can benefit from a common framing.
Not sure why the /s? Cores are the main thing for GPU's right?
