Technology, no doubt, can do amazing things. Google Maps can tell me when my next bus will arrive so I don’t have to brave the -10C weather. It’s like magic.

However, there is ONE important side effect that I have not noticed until now.

Most technologists crave speed. Faster processors, faster disk drives, faster networks, faster everything. Bottlenecks are our common enemy. YES. They are evil. I can relate to it because I spent a good amount of time in my career fixing performance problems for financial systems.

No one likes to wait for the computer to respond.

Unfortunately, this craving for speed (in technology) has quietly bled into other aspects of our living. People learn to speed read to gain more knowledge faster. People speed walk regularly (yes, I can also feel it in Hong Kong’s subway stations.) And the most crazy thing is: we don’t realize it until our body cannot cope with the demands of our speedoholic minds.

I watched this Carl Honore’s talk from 2005 (http://www.ted.com/talks/carl_honore_praises_slowness). 10 years later, it’s hard to believe that many of us (including myself) still get caught up in thinking “Slow is bad.” But no, there is such thing as “Good slow.”

You need to be patient in building a relationship; you need to have a clear mind in thinking strategically; and you need to be willing to spend time making mistakes in order to invent something useful.

So, please don’t let us, technologists, news or media slloowwlllyyy turn you into a speedoholic.

Redditor explains why BTC is overvalued after Tether creates unbacked $1.5B USDT
Being a user of BSD if feel more free too. Know why? Because i can do nearly everything with it, and i don't even need a Lawyer to read and understand the license.
I am probably missing something: Why is WASM required here? Can't these analysis done directly on LLVM IR?
It would be great to hear some alternative suggestions for a consumer air quality meter that is accurate, reliable. I.e. are the AirThings products good? Or do you have any other recommendations?
I can second this one, I soldered four wires to connect it to an ESP8266 and flashed ESPhome and that was it, it's worked fine for months.

Yeah, that’s true, he also showed that the PM project was futile. That’s why no one uses it nowadays, unlike ZFC.
My grandfather was a doctor in WWII and at one point traveled up through China and other places that had been heavily decimated / damaged / looted.

I remember him talking about how access to a ship (even if over long distance) with a good machine shop was critical to just get locals up and running with basic metal tools for everyday use and medical uses.

It reminded me of the importance of a local blacksmith and such.
> She’s got a college degree!

Is that significant? The preschool I send my child to's child care provider has a boat. Neither factor into my purchasing decision.

Everyone is going to have hobbies of some sort outside of work. How much I will pay isn't going to change depending on what hobbies they have chosen.
It's a term I use myself. It's pushing down on higher wages while pushing up on lower wages in effort to concentrate people into middle class.

This would also mean that many people who are not even remotely close to "the billionaire class" would get pushed down, so it's not really popular with high-earning coastal liberals, and probably many people here.
> What makes you sure that at least some of the "tether is a scam (or is at least shady)" people aren't also crypto "participants"?

I imagine there are many people that believe in crypto and participate in the markets, but dislike that Tether is behaving like the fiat central bankers they abhor so much.

> Or maybe they're voting with their feet and moving to an exchange that doesn't deal in USDT, and so won't be subject to tether's rules?

Unbacked Tether inflates the price of any coin that it's used to purchase, so what you're describing would have no effect. When Tether's $1bn pump pushes up BTC's price from it's 20% overnight decline, are the theoretical USDT-free exchanges going to reflect bid/ask prices as they were pre-pump? Of course not.
They go backrupt landlord rents space at lower value cycle repeats. Place does well rent goes up. Wages are a small part of a larger process.
> WASM can have weaker security within the sandbox because it doesn't have access to some of the more sophisticated mitigation measures that native code does,

And that's mostly read-only data pages. The primary blocker there is how to integrate that capability with ArrayBuffer in the web platform, since Wasm memories can be exposed (or aliased) as ArrayBuffer objects, and most engines aren't prepared to encourage non-writable holes in ArrayBuffers.
They work fewer hours than most people, which is another attractive part. On average about 35 hours a week when the school year is in session and then of course nearly no time at all in June, July, and August.

They also get weeks of breaks during the school year around Christmas and in the spring.

Being a teacher won't get you rich but it's a pretty sweet job for people that don't want to work much/do the corporate ladder thing, only work when their own kids are at school (big benefit!), and want generally good benefits, etc.
> providing value

That's the crux, isn't it? What kind of "value" are we talking about? The argument doesn't hold unless we start defining this in concrete terms. That's where you'll find that there are many different ways to attribute value. Inevitably, value attributing is inherently human and therefor subjective. "value", such as it is, is a social construct.

Sure, many of the "bullshit jobs" "provide value to employers", but that doesn't invalidate the argument to grant them the moniker "bullshit job".

So, what makes a job a "bullshit job"? Well, the defining criteria would be that they only exist to the benefit of their employer. They don't generate any value as far as the stakeholders of an employer is concerned: clients, customers, members, patrons, patients, visitors, other employees, etc.

Dedicating staff to calm passengers whose bags do not arrive is a clear cost/benefit trade-off as far as the airline is concerned. Clearly, it's cheaper / easier to have staff comfort passengers, then fix the issue in a structural fashion. The example of a "bullshit job" is apt, because the customers of the airline can clearly push through the illusion that the airline would actually care about their luggage.

Context matters as far as public perception is concerned, though. Things are not always that clear cut.

For instance, corporations aren't necessarily "evil" or "good" in binary terms. Their impact on the world tends to be judged in a morally ambivalent fashion. A corporate lawyer may defend not just their employer, but also squarely aligns their convictions / principles with the ambiguous impact their employer may or may not have on the world, for better or worse. Arguably, the tobacco industry has enabled the social mobility of millions of people, and at the same time, their product has caused the death of millions as well. Depending on what moral stance you'd take, it's valid to perceive a corporate lawyer both as a "goon" defending a reprehensible view on the world, as well as a honest employee defending the livelihoods of many. (note: I'm not taking sides here, it's just an example!)

In a complex and ambiguous world, "bullshit jobs" are labelled as such because they are perceived as such through the lens of current morals, values, socio-economic, political, cultural zeitgeist. A corporate lawyer is seen as a "bullshit job" because society accepts the ambivalence in what they do, and why their role is a thing, even though it's role most people feel the world wouldn't have to need in the first place.
I was thinking the same, as switching to M1 server,and also next version of M1 Mac minis will probably be x2 faster than the current one, so next year you buy mac mini will be double benefit :)
GDPR prevents third party sites from selling data without user consent, but it doesn’t affect much of the ad business on facebook/instagram for instance.

I’d see Amazon having a decisive advantage regarding spying on vendors and applying that to Amazon Basics products (stuff they’re already under investigation) but it would that less a matter of Apple Transparency or user privacy and more sheer industrial espionage.
That is why I have completely degoogled my life. Backup your photos ASAP!

I'm using nextcloud as a google photos replacement. It's not quite as smooth as google photos but it works well enough and I control my data. The official app handles auto-upload of my photos. Yaga is a nice android client for viewing the photos on my degoogled phone. The web app works well for that too and there are even sharing features, so I can share an album or photo with friends, family, or whoever. Nextcloud has suitable replacements for notes, drive, docs, contact backup/sync, and more. It's a little bit of effort to set up but totally worth it to control my data and get privacy.

Fastmail is a great paid replacement for gmail. It has calander, notes, and file storage features too.

There are so many cloud storage options, really no excuse to use google drive.

There are other turnkey google photo replacements as well these days, amazon and flickr come to mind. Google has nice apps but it's just not worth being their product, especially since they nerfed the free storage.
>In standard RBAC, we can link user to multiple roles but that will give user all permissions in all those roles

This is only kinda true

Yes, an individual user gets the union of permissions they've been granted

HOWEVER - having Admin in suborg2 DOES NOT grant Admin in suborg1

Having Admin in OrgA that happens to have suborg1 & suborg2, of course, does grant Admin to the sub orgs (unless you've seriously bolluxed it up)

If you've got your groups correct, then the permissions users of a group have will apply to objects of that group

Permissions are supposed to be inherited/inheritable - so a permission applied at a higher level permeates to lower ones, but not the other way around

I might be an Admin in the Phoenix data center, but that doesn't make me an Admin in Tulsa - unless I'm a higher-level Admin than "data center level"

Nothing much in this article is groundbreaking, when large employers raise wages, smaller employers of people with similar skillsets are forced to raise wages as well. What is very interesting was the fact that unemployment in the region is only affected by .4 to 1.3 percent. This is not the doomsday scenario pushed by people claiming that raising minimum wage would result in large scale elimination of existing jobs as businesses are forced to fire people just to survive the parasitic employees demanding a living wage.
Just who do you think relentlessly votes, lobbies, and politicks to ensure that housing supply is inelastic? The tooth fairy?

Your HTC Desire HD is welcome and supported on all my websites, and the fact that you have one is reason enough for me to support it.

I think it is a really shitty and rude thing to tell the user that their browser, device, configuration, etc. is "not good enough", because most of the time they have no control over it, and you're denying access to the people who need it the most.

When you've got a fast desktop to develop on and a decent salary to switch out your phone every year or two, it may be difficult to relate, but there are millions of people out there using five-year-old devices and struggling extra unnecessarily, and I refuse to add to the problem.

I switched monitors to LG and they have reader mode. I turned that on and it took care of 90% of my eye strain attacks.

>And production of the original wrenches is cancelled. Over night.

Even worse, the company has broken into your shop overnight and replaced the wrenches with these pieces of crap.
I always use weaker glasses on my computer now (around 1.5 diopters less than my full correction). I just reduce that reduced correction step by step (recommended is .25 diopter reductions, .5 worked for me too though) when it feels right (aka when I can see the screen decently well even with the new weaker glasses).
So I started by using -4 glasses at the computer and now I use -2.

To check my current eyesight, I use a printed Snellen chart and the focal calculator https://endmyopia.org/focal-calculator/calc.html

The focal calculator is less accurate, but over mutliple measurements it averages out and adds up to a similar result as the Snellen chart for me.

No, I'm in my early twenties.

Yes, fully corrected, I can even see better than before to be honest. My eye doctor told me last time (before I started endmyopia) that I only have around 80% vision, even with glasses.
I noticed that when playing tennis, I had trouble telling if balls were still in the opponents field because I couldn't see the back line properly. Last time I played I noticed how much better I could see it :)

This is the "common sense" view of inflation. It was disproven by Milton Friedman and others over 50 years ago.

“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”

In 2021, "the quantity of money" is a much harder concept to measure than it was, but the basic insight stands.
It influences public behaviour. People see things like this, and become less cautious. Which is, broadly, okay _if_ the optimistic view of Omicron is correct (ie more infectious than Delta, but more benign), but very much not okay if the pessimistic view is correct (either more infectious or better at immune escape than Delta, but just as severe as Delta in the unvaccinated/not previously infected).

Right now, no-one knows which of these, or some range between them, is true, and it's irresponsible to suggest that the optimistic case is true without more data (the headline in particular is very bad).
Of course they know they known it and track it as an asset. It is incredibly valuable.
> Have you never lived in a community? In a society? Have you never gone to a block party? Said hi to a neighbor? Gone to a bar? Cared even a little bit about the neighborhood in which you live?

Yes I'm heavily involved as a leader in my local community and spend about 70 days a year volunteering in it and supporting the people who live in it. How does that compare to you?

Supporting your local community doesn't mean propping up unviable businesses. It's a luddite argument, like paying people to dig holes and fill them back in again.

I was having huge problems with eyesight strain. Just after an hour of computer use I would see blurry, shadows, double, light sensitivity, etc. I was even thinking about changing my profession. I tried many things like blue light filters, eye drops, improved refresh rates, max-hardware-brightness with reduced software-brightness, different light bulbs, eInk, orange glasses, red light therapy, larger monitor farther away, etc.

NOW I AM FINE. The magic solution for me was to ask for intermediate-distance computer glasses. These were supposed to be for short/intermediate distance only. However, after a single day of usage, my eyes adapted to this depowered version of my formula and I never again used the regular glasses. I see 20/20 far with the intermediate distance eyeglasses. This strongly suggest that I was over-prescribed for years and now I feel so much better.

Summary: Tell your optometrist that you want intermediate distance eye glasses because you spend many hours in front of the computer. It _could_ make a great difference for your life as it did for mine.
I'm guessing the medieval toothpulling would count as a good bloodletting as well.

When two income households became the norm, rather than having more disposable money, the money went into housing costs. Those who owned housing (land) before two-income was normal made out like bandits, but families that didn't are now working 100 hours a week rather than 50 hours a week for the same post-housing income.

Well xwolfi, in another post you wrote «from the competent bottom towards the rotting top»: Hong Kong is to some statistics a place of the highest concentration for well trained minds, education, competence - it may be really disappointing to those with a "technical" more than "emotional" idea of democracy, that in one of the few places in which people show numbers to really deserve the responsibility of judgement and administration, their participation is limited. For a condition like "you can participate provided you are aligned", strong intellectual skills are probably largely wasted.

Deep nesting makes it harder for accessing data through a systematic way.

If you are accessing a deep nested data that means you have to account for layers of existence of keys. If cpu exist then see if speed exist then access speed. Nothing wrong with deep nesting as long as you can guarantee a key and data will be generated but more often than not when the data is not being generated the JSON data and the key will not simply exist.

And people do get carried away with nesting. Also it is nice to have core information available at the surface level of JSON file.
> If it was to match inflation it would be more than $15

Neither of your sources support that claim:

> Even worse is that federal-minimum-wage-earning workers today are paid 31% less than the $10.54 an hour they would have been paid in 1968, when the minimum wage reached its highest (inflation-adjusted) value. [1]

> The wage hit its peak in inflation-adjusted terms in 1968 at just over $12 [2]

The productivity argument is silly, and your third source says as much. Minimum wage has not kept pace with average productivity because minimum wage jobs themselves have not kept up with average productivity. CEPR makes the argument that doctors and software engineers just make too much money, and this somehow hurts the minimum wage earners. Which is a wild bit of mental gymnastics to claim that minimum wage earners should profit from high-skilled productivity, but the high-skilled workers should not.
It's all public info, but I think the big leak here is that if you attached multiple email addresses to your gravitar, it'd serve the same icon for each one, and with that data, it could connect all your multiple identities.

Also, if a site showed a gravitar along side your posts, and not an email address, folks now have an email address to connect to your posts.

Most views hold that increasing the minimum wage increases the cost of goods and services, in particular food, also increasing downstream things like rent, but it's still a debated point and not settled. [1]
