I agree. How do you see us fixing this? Maybe universal basic income? Over the last century we've eliminated many of the positions in agriculture and manufacturing that were traditionally considered good blue collar jobs. Automation on that front is only going to increase. Obviously the gig jobs - Uber, Lyft, DoorDash - are a really poor substitute...

One thing that gave me hope recently is seeing Jack Monroe campaigning for the Vimes index. I wont try and word it as well as the man himself[1]:

> “The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money, Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of okay for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.”

And to some extent, people focus on the economics, but I think it's just as important to point out - how good would your day be if you had wet feet.

[1]Monroe is a female poverty campaigner who does fantastic work, the Vimes index is based on Terry Pratchett's fiction, endorsed by his estate.
Most states have some variety of "homeowners" or "homestead" tax policy that gives deductions for people who live in their own home. I don't mind that, as long as it is fair. In California it isn't fair, and it isn't limited to a the home someone lives in.
They seem to alternate between that and a more interesting error page giving links to the two status pages and with five screenshots of the same binary stuff in a terminal editor.

I was helping a hard working kid with some financial education and told him essentially the same thing. He simply needed to make more money. He was making $13 / hour at the time and I helped him line up an interview with a guy who was ready to hire him doing the same thing for $25 / hour + professional training.

He ghosted me and the interviewer. I’d been working with him for MONTHS to help get his life straightened out.

I still have no idea why he did it.

Ask HN: Digital privacy law reading recommendations?
Hi

Does anyone have reading recommendations around privacy law? Namely:

1. A review/history of law (around the world) regarding digital privacy.

2.Implementation strategies. For example, how would I implement anonymization across multiple systems? What trade-offs can I make?

I've on-off read articles, blog posts, legal text etc, so I'm looking for something with textbook-level breadth/depth.

Thanks in advance!

What if instead of trying to make standalone programs that run everywhere someone took the approach the browser took, but more on the native side?

Make a runtime that can run a bunch of quasi-native code and make it download code from URLs and execute that.

The experience for the user would be to type "myapp.com" on the URL bar and then get a full native app running inside that browser window -- except instead of bloated JavaScript it would be this new language thing with more powerful native-like APIs and without 32 years of bloated history on its back.

I'm sorry if this is too confusing.
> You can't use the electric side of a locomotive drive train anywhere else than in a locomotive, and for fully electric locomotives you can't even use the transformers in any non-railway setting simply because the frequencies used are generally incompatible with usage on the normal power grid.

This is a surprise, because it calls to mind this old story:

Was this simply an unusual locomotive, and therefore compatible with the grid? What's going on?
I have both a 13 Pro and an X. They have changed the computation performed, but I hesitate to say it's worst- just different. Halide has become my app of choice for when I want more control over that factor.

If you can't trust the rule of law you have bigger problems than worrying about Facebook stealing your identity... but I'll leave it here.

The law is vague enough so that if FBI wants, it can declare a real lot of things to be domestic terrorism. The official definition is "dangerous criminal acts intended to
intimidate or coerce a civilian population or to influence or affect government policy or conduct within the jurisdiction of the United States".

Now, what is "dangerous"? There's no objective standard to it. Some people say publicly disagreeing with the government is "dangerous" for our democracy. A lot of people thinking Twitter and Facebook not banning everybody to the right of Nanci Pelosi is "dangerous". Other people say using wrong pronouns is "dangerous". Yet other say disagreeing with CRT is "dangerous". It all depends on how the law enforcement would define it.

Next is "influence or affect government policy". If you protest the government, you obviously want to influence its policy, right? Otherwise, what's the point of it? So, as long as FBI is willing to consider you "dangerous" - and again, there's no objective definition of it, and they will suffer absolutely zero consequences if they're wrong or overzealous in it - they have lawful authority to treat you as a terrorist.

Of course, there's a serious step to overcome - "criminal act". Only the court can decide if an act is "criminal". But for the FBI is would be impossible to enforce the law if they had to wait for a court conviction to do anything - so obviously, they are given a lot of leeway in persecuting acts that they think are "criminal" - and as long as they can prove there's not a law that explicitly says what you were doing is not criminal and FBI is explicitly forbidden from prosecuting you - even if you ultimately prove your innocence they suffer zero consequences. It's called "qualified immunity", look it up. And when we're talking about "terrorism", they could do a real lot of damage to you without ever taking matters to court. The process is often the punishment, and they can ruin your life very thoroughly way before you ever see the inside of a courtroom. And we know for a fact they are willing to lie in court documents - including outright fakery - to achieve their goals. You personally probably wouldn't be big enough fish for them to need to do that - but if they need to, they will.

You are 99% misreading/misunderstanding the quote.

They said WORKERS not EMPLOYEES

Sure, Google puts a lot of its revenue to its EMPLOYEES. But most of the WORK is done by the rest of the public giving Google all the content and data via the way the products utilize the searching and driving around and so on.

The claim is not what's internal to Google's business accounting. The claim is that they have externalized almost all the work to the unpaid users of the systems who actually produce the value overall.

(the quote is a tad confusing because they said "employer's revenues", that seems like an error in speaking/writing; the next part makes it clear what they are aiming to say)

> paid labour performs only a fraction of the work that Big Tech benefits from
I don't care about BLM and they were tear gassed, beatup, even reporters got dismembered! This response is a whataboutism. Soviets were allies of the US against Nazis, they didn't kill millions of americans nor did they wish genocide on anyone. They do not stand as a symbol if rebellion against legitimate government either. Neither does BLM but that's the thing with whataboutist reponse, you are trying to get me to defend a 3rd party that isn't relevant to the conversation at hand.

If a BLM protester waves a Nazi flag or whatever the opposite is that wishes death to some group of people, treat them the same and punish them or legalize violent response against them. Why do I have to stand silent and watch while others plot and promote genocide?
That is what I mean. Russia does not have the power to threaten one and therefore has to wield more crude tools to try get the point across. There's no possibility of Ukraine turning into North Korea through sanctions, rather for Russia.
Privacy means my data is private.
I don't know if security implies privacy, in my mind I'm referring specifically to protection from direct threats to my device that aim to access resources that my browser doesn't expose (filesystem, elevated privileges and that kind of things).

That being said, my statement still stands. In that case, I can just summarize it as "I can't find a browser as secure as Chrome" (implying that yes, Brave and Vivaldi do the same, they are just less open about that)

Going along with this, I think there's a very big difference between being poor, and being educated and poor, or being in a supportive tribe and poor. My parents grew up poor, during the Depression, but were either educated, or had at their disposal the resources of Catholic education, which was affordable and of high quality.

My mom talks about how her family did OK, at least socially, and always had the nearby public library as a refuge. When the Depression and WWII ended, they were pretty much back on their feet. My mom's neighbors in the tenements couldn't even read, and had dramatically different prospects.
You've got that right. A sensible passenger train that runs north/south along the Rocky mountains? That would be too easy.

$1M in W2 earnings isn't that unusual for senior engineers at companies that have seen significant stock growth. Suppose you had a $200k salary, $500k RSUs over four years, $50k/year bonus offer mid-2017. The last batch of stock vesting in 2021 would have pushed total stock adjusted compensation close to the 7 figure mark.

NVDA has seen over +500% stock growth during that time. Apple has gone up close to 400%, GOOG over +200%.

What's interesting is that even if we ignore the recent dip, FB has only gone up +150% since mid-2017. If you held through the recent dip, that falls to something around +60% over four years.
hm, no... doesn't feel like a lot to me? :shrug:
I think your estimate is correct. 0.9 -1.2 million isn't likely gonna be met risk-adjusted by startup exit unless you are a founder.
This is probably not going to happen anyway: I am more curious if we even have a viable alternative. If the network has user content, it will need a lot of money to hire people to moderate it. How can that be paid for without violating privacy (ads/selling data)? Or, alternatively, you make sure you store no user data. Or something else that I didn't think of which is why I was asking.
Your solution isn't going to work. No one really "polices the police", and LAPD literally has 18 different gangs within the department. This is why the push for body cameras is so strong- there is no other way than to monitor the police 24/7 and make sure what they're doing is just.

There was a contingent of what might be called libertarians who supported Bernie but then went hard for Trump and shifted rightward. It doesn't make much sense to me except that they're both nominally anti-establishment (in different ways of course).

You'll also note that I didn't actually call Rogan right wing, but it does seem that many/most of his listeners tilt right.

The point I was making is that it's highly unlikely that any leftist activist organization/company would support Rogan by platforming him, regardless of his actual beliefs (to me, it seems that he's just playing to an audience).

> around $0.9M-$1.2M per year today

Like others have said this salary should make not want to leave.

I make around $1.5M at a startup. I think I can get around $350k at regular job. Even if you consider a generous 20% of startups that gonna to make it, I need to make more than $1.75M in income to justify the risk of a startup.

Doing the same math for your $1M salary, it means you need to make at least $5M per year to adjust for risk.

Truth! Without nonlinearity, each layer is essentially just a matrix multiplication. You could just as well use a single equivalent layer that represents the product of the layers' matrices. Nonlinearity lets a single node partition the input space into two (fuzzy) equivalence classes. That's powerful stuff.

I debated where in the whole thread, if anywhere, to comment that it is unfair to call it a dog. It is unfair to dogs, and misleading to any human trying to form useful abstractions about it. It lacks any of the dog's general intelligence and social skill which are integral to how we humans think about the sophistication of a dog and understand its adaptability and utility. To me, it is about as accurate as characterizing a mannequin as a monkey with mediocre fashion skills.

But, your post makes me realize that a job could be threatened by an AI just superficially emulating a worker, because its existence might exploit the social vulnerabilities of the workplace, in spite of having no general intelligence nor exploitative social skills of its own.

Which reporters are you talking about? The only reporter I know of who ever got dismembered was Jamal Khashoggi, and he had nothing whatsoever to do with BLM.

To be pedantic, C has no 8- or 16-bit addition operators, since everything sub-int is scaled up to int to do arithmetic. Therefore, the `x += 120;` line never overflows, since it is actually `x = (int8_t)((int)x + 120);`, and the possible range of `(int)x + 120` is comfortably within the range of expressible ints, while the conversion to int8_t is defined to wrap around when oversized. So there compiler can't optimize out do_important_thing in your example.

He is suggesting that the solution is to ask the intervention of the military. That's nuts! What about Trudeau admitting he made a mistake, saying he's sorry and asking everybody to go home?

Grade crossings are fine for passenger multiple units (have pickup shoes at both ends of the train and a gap either side of the crossing) but not great for locomotives.

The other big problem (in addition to the ones you've outlined) is that having miles of live conductor at ground level isn't particularly safe - for track crew, trespassers, or wildlife.

Britain has essentially stopped installing third rail for all these reasons. It's all 25kV overhead now.
