"""
We calculate the bite of the large retailer’s minimum wage as the fraction of job ads by other employers with pre-period wages below the announced minimum wage, within detailed occupation, employer, and commuting zone (“CZ”) categories. This approach mirrors that of papers estimating the causal effect of the federal minimum wage using state-level variation in the portion of the state’s wage distribution under the new higher minimum wage (Card, 1992; Bailey et al., 2021). Here, however, we are able to exploit variation in bite at a much finer level, across tens of thousands of employers and hundreds of occupations and commuting zones. This level of variation allows us to precisely estimate effects and conduct several robustness checks to rule out alternative explanations for wage increases.

I have a question since the author is around:

My sensor was working fine for a few months. It’s located near the area I smoke, so whenever I’m smoking it changes to red quickly. And after a few minutes (10 or so) it’d go back to green.

But for past few weeks it’s stuck at red. I disassembled it and cleaned the intake hole (which is covered with a fabric) and it worked after. However it went back to displaying red again all the time.

So my question is whether this sensor needs frequent cleaning? If so what are the alternatives?
I know there are elements of a game engine and user interaction that would be hard to test but there are a lot of areas internal to a large online game could use automated tests. These could be actual REST types of API's that the game clients interact with as well as internal API's either in the client or server.

There should be a large enough surface area of these API's to test things and I think that would make changing/tuning aspects of games easier on the game developers.

I wonder if this is more of a culture within the gaming industry where getting humans to test games is cheaper (i.e. 15-20/hr) than hiring QA engineers to write code that tests things. I remember hearing anecdotes of people wanting to work for game companies and being a tester is a "foot in the door". Also sometimes they do open beta's where they just let players in and do the testing.

Just a few days ago a well-performing video ended up age-restricted. It was an edge case, and could have gone either way. I appealed, and included the best argument I could put together.

A few hours later I received this:

About your last comment, the existence of a problem doesn't mean that government stepping in would be better.
My Dad was born before WW2 in a village in Eastern Europe, which was probably closer to a medieval village than to a 21st century one. He told me that a blacksmith would ask for 3 plum trees to do a certain job, presumably in order to make charcoal. I don't think there was anything special about plum trees, other than the local availability: people were (and still are) growing plum trees in order to make spirits. Giving up 3 plum trees meant giving up the spirits you could get from them for six years until the new trees would grow to maturity. So, yes, you wouldn't go to the blacksmith very often, if you could help it.
Isn't that the product owner's job?
It's a great read, but it got posted quite often here. Some of the previous posts have longer comment threads.

Yes, the tweet above presumes that they wouldnt and that it would be somehow unfair if a minimum wake hike meant that a teacher got paid minimum wage.

Most arguments against raising the minimum wage are bullshit but they all get trotted out regularly because profits are at stake.
>Effectively it means anyone cancelling an order has to worry

No, it really doesn't. This is a single enforcement action that probably took months or years to put together. The behavior being policed is traders entering thousands of orders in a short period of time and then cancelling the orders after their real orders were filled, and then repeating this behavior over some period of time. Someone who fat fingers an order occasionally, or changes their strategy in response to intraday market movements has nothing to fear.

>For me real manipulation

Yeah those people also suck and I hope they get what's coming to them, even though I know they won't.

This is one of the main reasons why I left the field before even graduating (elementary education, left halfway through the degree). The amount of bullshit you have to deal with on top of the terrible compensation and how little people seem to value the profession despite its importance played a big part.

I'm not even 5 years out of school as a dev (and not even as a college level graduate), I already make way more than I would have been 15 years into my teaching career (max salary!), my schedule and quality of life are orders of magnitude better. I don't regret my decision other than the impact having a man teacher can have on some of those kids.
The article just looks like a presentation of some data, whereas the other effects you're talking about would require analysis or speculation.
I'm personally only spending time on the peer-to-peer/distributed web space: DAT/Hypercore, SSB, Activity/Commons-Pub, Holochain, GUN, Solid, etc.

Why did a standard like RSS get expelled from client-server web platforms? It makes little to no sense. The knowledge pyramids that are growing every day are anti-learning, so we need to continue to push for a distributed p2p web.

The growing p2p space is an inspiring counterforce to the dominant venture capital client-server web.

I've seen arguments that most people were literate. Learning to read and write is not hard, and it is a useful skill.

Of course literate was relative: before the printing press there wasn't much to read (book took months to copy by hand). You were reading and writing short notes. Spelling wasn't standardized so you phonetically spelled things and had to figure out what the other person meant. Good enough for letters, but nobody was writing books on anything since teaching in person was (or seemed to be) more efficient.

I'm not a historian, but the above seems like a good argument. Does anyone have a real reference as to the truth?

Just jumping in here, but Native American's also have nearly all of the same issues + more and you don't really see anyone advocating for reparations for them. I encourage you to look up poverty rates, alcoholism and drug use rates, premature deaths, etc. by racial groups from the US Census Bureau. To be clear, I'm not advocating reparations for Natives too, I'm saying poverty and behavior are self-perpetuating cycles that lead to worse outcomes for future generations regardless of race.

I'm not sure what you mean.

All the Linux kernel drivers found on https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux or upstreamed at kernel.org are released under the standard Linux kernel license - GPL 2.0. There is no "only for ADI devices" possible - doing so would be a violation of section 6 of the GPL 2 ("You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.")

Yes - ADI would encourage anyone to buy their devices - but no - we don't force it - There are many things that are "ADI devices only", but that's normally userspace or HDL or tools, not kernel.

Disclaimer - I work at ADI.
I'm 59, and I am able (just barely) to keep up, but I have had to specialize.

When I was younger, I was able to understand (and work with), a significant swath of the industry.

Shallow and wide worked for a long time.

That has not been the case, for many years.

Dependencies help to give people the sense that they are able to "keep up," but that's because they abstract the complexity. There are a few prodigies that can handle wide and deep; but they are rare exceptions.

I like to have a deep understanding, so I have specialized in native Swift development on Apple systems. I am proficient (but not a wizard) at PHP-based servers. I know enough to create backends for my apps, which work well. I know that others can do better.

This is not unique to software. All industries have been like this for over a century. Software had it easy. It was new enough, and small enough, that many of us could understand a great deal, about the entire landscape. This is how new tech always starts off. It used to be that every automobile driver was also a mechanic (out of necessity). I think the Wright Brothers were bicycle mechanics.
As an example, average restaurant profit margins are between 2% and 6%. They cannot absorb labor rate increases without raising prices or going bankrupt. Margins tend to be similarly low for many other industries as well. Tech is a massive outlier in its ability to absorb large wage increases.
I'm generally quite suspicious of lying law enforcement covering up evidence collected via illegal and inadmissible methods, but I doubt that's the case here. Rather than use Tor he decided to just wing it and use his personal consumer VPN that was paid for with his own PayPal account. He used his own credentials for the "hack" and didn't even come up with an excuse for how that could have plausibly happened other than "lol it was AWS that got hacked".

>It feels like a disgruntled and sophisticated Ubiquiti employee is the last person who get caught out by a DNS leak while waiting for their VPN to come back up after a flap.

If it was An-Cheng or Stig I'd agree but given a lot of what Ubiquiti puts out... the bar isn't all that high. Given all of the dumb moves we know he made, it doesn't really surprise me that he would screw up guarding against a VPN dropout. It wouldn't even surprise me if Surfshark screwed up blocking while reconnecting, especially if it was DNS I can see someone making a boneheaded decision to switch name resolution back to the local network while trying to reconnect to lookup the address of the VPN endpoint. It's a consumer VPN, they only really care about hiding from DMCA notices and evading geo-blocks.

Now the Silk Road arrest of Ross Ulbricht on the other hand, that was a travesty of justice. Not that I think he was innocent or shouldn't be in prison, just that in a perfect world many of the prosecutors and federal agents involved would be in a cell beside him.

I'm sure that happens, but I'm not commenting on what happens, I'm commenting on the Waterfall process as I remember it being taught in the 90s. What yysay above is definitely not what was taught.

> Feedback means actual, hard feedback, be it from the customer or reality.

Yeah, which is what the Waterfall process that I remember advocated: that the end-user be involved at all times, that the design be refined iteratively and quickly, and that the requirements.

I'm not sure where this misconception of what Waterfall advocates came from, but you're not the only one with it.

I’ve found that my desire to needlessly change my website comes from being bored and not having an outlet for my creativity so I invent new problems to solve.

My most effective way to combat this is coming up with creative dev projects to fill the void. A bouquet website, a website about local parks, a website that lets you browse campsites by following the trails like a MUD.

I used to feel guilty for not working my my main business 100%, but I have both saved my users from being annoyed as well as picked up knowledge I can use to improve my main site when the need arises.

> You sound like you're rationalizing a religious tribe rather than making a rational argument.

I can't believe that I find myself defending Ikea on HN, but... what?

The parent's argument is very rational - in their experience products have been durable, and the repairability high for obvious reasons. What's religious about that?

I owned several pieces of Ikea furniture myself, and some were well made out of solid materials. Others were not. Unsurprisingly, the material quality was strongly correlated with the price of the item.
Against my better judgement I actually logged in with Spotify, only to find that it just didn't work. I'm not really sure what I was expecting anyway.

Well the Chinese knock offs usually appear way before the Amazon basics one (I agree the gap here is shrinking).

So assume Amazon gets ‘taken care’ of magically - what’s the solution for the bigger problem here?

Unless we go back to a world of strong nationalistic sentiment where customers are willing to put their money towards’Made in USA’ - I don’t know how this gets solved. Bezos famously said ‘nobody wants to pay more for a thing’ (paraphrase).
all of what you mention is why i moved away from cloud software several years ago and built my own versions of the tools i need for my business. they only have 10% of the features. but, that 10% is highly customized to my specific situation. it never changes and because i wrote the code i can change it when i need to, and i understand what i changed and why.
I think it might be out of date. I just looked up the salary scale for the Texas school district my kids went to and a new teacher starts at $50,900 for ten months of work. That doesn't seem too bad to me.

That’s the real question. Aruba has some relevant offerings, but UniFi is still pretty unique in what it offers to prosumers.
It depends, feedback is rarely as polite as "I noticed you used this other dataset". The feedback would probably look like.

- "Nice paper, however the results are not relevant to current research due to the use of X dataset rather than Y or Z datasets score 2/5 do not accept."

- "Nice paper, however the results are of unknown quality due to the use of X dataset 3/5 recommend poster track".

In fact I'd generally say that most paper reviews would drop the first three words of those feedbacks. It's not an unreasonable assertion that progress is measured on standard datasets - but it's also necessary to push back on this.

> The free market is the reason the USA is the richest country in history and has far outpaced the wealth gains of Western Europe who early on was resistant to free markets because of aristocratic feudalism (right wing) and later became resistant to them because of socialist ideas (left wing).

You're very wrong. One of the main proponents of free markets and trade, since before the US was even a thing, has been the UK, which pretty much fits the definition of "aristocratic feudalism". And the "socialist ideas (left wing)" is pretty much bullshit.

> On both sides of history, the USA has so far remained in the center in both eras and that has helped us grow immensely faster than them such that today the USA is wealthier than all of Europe combined despite having half the population and natural resources.

The US has many things going for it, all of which helped make it as powerful and rich as it is.
In no particular order:

* it's separated by entire oceans from any possible actual adversary

* the last war it fought on it's own territory, with associated destruction and death which is, of course, bad for wealth and development for the majority of the population, was in the 1860s. For reference, much of Europe was destroyed, twice, in the 20th century, and some of it as late as the 1990s(former Yugoslavia) or today ( Donbas).

* abundant natural resources, for pretty much everything

* generous immigration policies

* very serious issues elsewhere in the world, while the US remained calm ( e.g. the World Wars or various famines or various presecutions of specific types of people, e.g. jews), coupled with the above, meant that lots of people, and lots of very smart people, moved to the US

* US capitalist (neo)colonialism in Latin America or Southeast Asia, which forced the creation new markets and cheap labour (e.g. the United Fruit Company)

* specifically post-WW2, a combination of the above made the US the only intact world power, which allowed it to take a leadership role in the world

* and yes, of course, free trade and markets. However, markets in the US have never been fully free, there has always been regulation, most often after serious issues ( e.g. the 1929 Wall Street crash or Standard Oil being broken up in 1911), but still.

You can't point to a single one and say that's the only reason, all of the above contributed to the current US position.
But you are not claiming that there's no adverse effects with your medication? I'm not sure what we're arguing about here.
Or the most critical consequence: rent. Rent goes up. Landlords get richer, minimum wage earners go back to poverty.

Pretty obvious cycle. High paying employer moves somewhere? Rent goes up. Normal employer pays more? Rent goes up.
Well come on, what business is it (if you're happy to share at this point)? Some people will want to prioritize it just because of this perspective.
> You sound like you're rationalizing a religious tribe rather than making a rational argument.

So do you, actually.

IKEA has products of varying price points. Yeah some of the cheap stuff might be pretty bad. Having said that, I have family members with IKEA furniture that is now around 30 years old without issues.

I have expensive solid wood furniture as well as IKEA furniture. Some of my own IKEA pieces that I bought after finishing uni have lasted 30 years and are still in use. I don't think I've thrown any IKEA furniture out, only passed them on to other people.
Yeah, what's the deal with this crabs in a bucket mindset that underlies memes like that? It's like the creator wants to perpetuate stagnant wages.
Ah interesting. I wasn't aware of the bankruptcy claims later on. I just remember the original issue where people were complaining about the focus on outreach programs instead of just software in general.

Interesting, thanks.

Working on Your Weakness
There is a meme, “haters gonna hate”.

In this case, I think the same principle holds: “software developers gonna develop”!

Meaning that I feel businesses would prefer to see developers working as hard as possible and just assume their output is always an improvement over the current product.

At the level of competing businesses 90% of effort goes to waste due to failing software businesses, as the winner takes all.

At the internal business and team-of-employees level, if time was spent it is assumed that it is always useful and pushed to the end users (instead of allowing the environment to kill the worst 90%).
