It's easy to find them. Let us call them out using the siren song.

Psychology and sociology are just as much sciences as mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology.
One thing that has always stuck with me in regards to this topic is the lack of medical research in areas that need it but don’t get it because there isn’t any money in it. One area that comes to mind is feline urinary tract disease. Many years ago, I had a cat who kept coming down with this, and the vet(s) were at a total loss as to how this kept happening. So I decided to open up the literature and plough into it as a layman with no knowledge about animal medicine. Within the space of a single hour I quickly learned that many of the most common diseases facing animals have very little research behind them and a lot of unknowns. Which brings me back to one of the main points of the author. If the neoliberal approach to research is only going to focus on what is profitable to treat, then medical science as a whole has backed itself into a dark corner.
Employers would pay apartment owners to keep a below market apartment "available" but turn down all applicants, then use that below market price to justify arbitrarily low wages.
This doesn't make sense. If the cost of gasoline rises then they should be raising wages. The labor market is tight right now, I don't understand.
As the article points out, at least on the inventor's farm 70% of carrots come out too deformed or misshapen to sell that way, so before this guy came along they were tossed. So these days the "abnormal" (but perfectly fine) carrots are cut into small pieces and sold as "baby carrots".
No one needs to be an “expert” to understand basic English and biology. It’s very clear that until, very recently, male and female have always been biological terms. Even today a scientist studying a frog would call the frog “female” or “male”, and everyone would know what they mean by that. No educated, sane, person would protest “Did you ask the frog what gender they felt they were!”
It's already happening, new interfaces from both Apple (see Big Sur/Monterey) and Google (Material design) are noticeably less "flat" and going back to 3d effects for "active" widgets. The effects are much as seen in GTK+ 3 - just subtle enough to not look overly confusing when compared to a totally "flat" screenshot, but still helpful to unfamiliar users.

Apple has a weird history around cables, it's one of the few things that survived. There were years where every other cable would have a decent rubber nubbin to ensure that the cable wouldn't be damage by flex but Steve Jobs wanted the clean look of the cable, so Apple continually shipped badly designed cables. It's one of the few things Apple still hasn't got over. We got our function keys back, but this.... one step too far.
It doesn’t block cafestol, which increases cholesterol synthesis.

Fun fact: not all cholesterol is bad; it’s only the LDL, while HDL is thought to be good for the heart.
Because the only way to guarantee that people have less than an hour of commute to their job is to create extremely dense population center which means extremely small living spaces which are almost universally hated. And most jobs cannot be done remotely, so to guarantee that each individual has space, he must accept to be some distance ways from the hub where people concentrate to perform their daily tasks.

Think of how many people a big hospital employs, and how you'd need to organise living center if all of them had to have a reasonable living space within few minutes of commute. Now you need stores and restaurant there as well and the space to host the workers of these places too, etc. The only way is to build huge tower hosting tons of small appartements, kill all green areas to gain as much space as possible. People don't seem to like that idea that much.

> It's corruption and regulatory capture.

Absolutely!

> Both of these, unlike greed, are problems that can be solved.

Hmm... I don't see how. Pharmaceutical companies (and all other corporations, for that matter) pay the lobbyists to write the legislation that is then duly waved through. This is to say the governance structure itself is captured.

In fact, I think it always was captured, but only that we have laboured erroneously under the idea that it was there to help us. And creating that illusion is the job of education and corporate media.

Until we are disabused of the idea that government is anything other than a parasitical, wealth extraction process, that no one has the right to forcibly take another's money (tax) and to do so means to be subjugated to a type of slavery, that legislation has very little to do with morality, that we are given our opinions first at school with 18 years or so of indoctrination which is then topped up via screens and newspapers - until we recognise that we are sovereign beings that will stand up for what is right and refuse what is wrong, we're not going to change much.
Think about the positive feedback loop you are proposing here:

Minimum wage goes up -> everything costs more -> minimum wage needs to go up some more.

So labor expense grows and grows, while expense for "stuff" becomes a smaller and smaller part of that.

So how do you make that stuff? You can't hire anyone - too expensive. So either automation, or buy things from other countries. This means firing people.

Your proposal will lead to mass unemployment.

But it gets worse, since you've tied your numbers to the cost of housing, and cities have the most expensive housing, people won't be able to live in the city (no jobs available that pay enough).

So mass migration to places with lower housing, until the cost of housing in a city goes down. What's you've done is incentivized everyone to kind of spread out in a diffuse way to keep down the cost of housing.

But where are the jobs in these places? There are no service jobs, since services are too expensive for anyone to buy. You'd have to drive more than an hour to find a job.

People will respond by demanding rent control, but that also means less housing is available.

So not only did you cause mass unemployment, you also caused mass homelessness.

Linux font rendering has come a long way in the last couple years. With TrueType2 and Windows fonts taken from an installer ISO (and not the ancient corefonts package), you can actually get some overall mostly okay font rendering. Every now and again, the hinting bugs out and it looks unreadable, but its far better than the olden days.

Now one of the worst parts is that everywhere I only even hint at not completely loving the new libadwaita theme I instantly get shut down and disagreed with before I can even get the chance to give some feedback. Apparently not liking flat themes makes me a madman in this world. Why am I not allowed to even have opinions about the look of the operating system I'm using?

I know dog shit isn't worth 69k and nobody needs to acquire a dog shit maker, and operate a dog shit maker nor pay for the staff making a dog shit maker to know that dog shit isn't worth 69k. Basic common sense.

Maybe the above is a bad analogy. Put it this way.

I've been to hospitals outside of the US and paid for x-ray services. That's how I know. That's how Everyone knows ...

69k a crime.

What I don't understand is why there exists someone defending something so obvious. Are you an X-ray operator?
So basically the new GTK is iOS but without the professional designers behind it.

What I cannot understand is how Canonical, Red Hat, or some rich SV person hasn’t thrown money at the problem and hired a big wig design firm or person to overhaul it all. Johnny Ive is now even available (if he’d take the project). But even going thru a site like dribbble there are so many amazing designers out there. To me it would be a more impressive portfolio piece for a young designer to properly design GTK/Gnome and put it out there for the world. What is stopping this? It can’t be caring with the history of people sharing their themes. Is it just taste / money?
Currently it is definitely not a good time for those employers to talk about slashing wages or adding up hours, when there is literally a labour shortage in US.

The talk to exploit the high gas prices to their benefits sound nothing but delusional.
And it's also well known that innocent people are those who eventually end up paying the highest price for the sanctions.

>> What do you think the record label is doing when they contact a curator or radio station? It's the exact same as if a musician had contact them. It's an email to a person, who makes a decision based on the content.

It’s their job to have existing relationships with the bloggers, they aren’t just sending cold emails. And I’d they don’t have relationships they can built them thanks to the credibility they have naturally compared to Jim for some cool indie band sending random emails.
If the rent pricing exceeds the production or maintenance cost of the apartments by too high a profit margin, then a government or regulated private entity should be formed to build them at a reasonable margin, thus controlling the minimum wage growth.

Alternately a large enough ratio of government controlled units within a market could be managed to provide a market weighting to reasonable prices. (you can see that in play in some European cities).

For some value of “normal”. 4K (or better) monitors have long since become the choice for most of those who cares about how font rendering looks.

After a decade of “retina” screens, I’m ruined, I can’t stand the look of anti-aliased fonts, whether Windows, Linux or macOS.
>Then the rents of those 1BR apartments would rise to capture that new minimum wage.

This is commonly expressed as a consequence of raising the minimum wage, but in the most nuanced discussions of inflation that I've been exposed to, people are mindful of the fact that inflation ripples out into different segments of the economy in different ways.

I think the most plausible outcome is that certain segments of the economy function as shock absorbers, which take the hit of inflation disproportionately as the economy rebalances itself and relieves pressures on segments of the economy that were being squeezed unsustainably hard.

And so there is indeed a ripple effect of raising the minimum wage, namely there's more money to spend, but it radiates out into the economy in disproportionate ways, and can be a net benefit to wage earners because prices on critical necessities may rise, but not in proportion to the rise in wages.
This theory explains some of the oddities we've observed up to this point.

Remember how putín told the commandos they'd be welcomed by Ukraine? Makes a lot more sense in this light.

An aspect of this story which I find puzzling, is the implication the embezzlement is somehow "hidden" from Putin. This has an odd effect. It implies he is not actually in control and aware of his economy, and it allows SOME people to argue he is not complicit in all horrors because he isn't aware of them.

I tend to a different view: He knows about the embezzlement and is complicit in it. He just thought that irrespective, he would win in 72 hours. Once it became obvious he wouldn't win in 72 hours he had to move to a different strategy, but it doesn't end the war, or save lives. Again, he's not un-aware of things on the ground within the limits of what higher command are told. He can read any western media he likes, and to believe he isn't aware of the other feed of intel is to seriously under-rate how things work.

So now to bribes: Does anyone think that any war of this nature has succeeded purely by undermining the authority of the opposition by bribes? It helps motivate, but I don't think it can explain things. Dark, off-book money always leaks, the final target never gets 100% of the "moscow gold" sent down the pipeline. Anyone who thinks bribers are un-aware of the road tax on illegal money has never experienced illegal money flows.

TL;DR Putin is not unware of the state of battle, or preparedness of his troops. Bribes alone wouldn't have made it work, magically.
living alone is a luxury all over the world. i don’t think it’s good to expect minimum wage will afford you a luxury style of living. we don’t have the infrastructure to support that for all. nor does any country

Excellent work as usual, Rasmus! :) Loved my time with postgres.js in past projects, looking forward to checking out v3 in an upcoming project of mine. The speed and lack of any dependencies, while being so full-featured is really attractive.
Dual-income families are because of equality, not poverty. When women earn nearly the same pay, it's worth it for them to work (and hire childcare) because then you can use the money to buy stuff.

When they don't work, it's because it wouldn't allow the household to buy more stuff on the margin - but rather than "spouse earns so much their income doesn't matter", it's more likely "they wouldn't earn enough to pay for the services they have to hire". Which is a bad thing.
Yeah, when a function is called as a "tagged template literal"[1] the function takes control over how the parameters are handled. Postgres.js uses this to replace the value with $1, $2, etc and send over the value as parameters to the database, thereby preventing any chance of SQL injection[2].

Think about that. Let's take your world, the fry cook can live on his salary. Now the person with a University degree can command a much higher wage since his skill is in great demand.

He's got more money, so he can afford more expensive stuff, increasing demand, which increases prices, and now your fry cook can no longer live on his salary.

Do you want to respond by raising wages again? You're in a never ending loop.

I don't think this is true. While it's possible that coffee can raise cholesterol levels, it doesn't actual contain any. Here's what the top result off Google for [coffee cholesterol] says:

Though brewed coffee does not contain actual cholesterol, it does have two natural oils that contain chemical compounds -- cafestol and kahweol -- which can raise cholesterol levels.

So yes, filtering probably makes a difference, but not because it's taking out "abundant" cholesterols.
I still have an old G4 powermac hanging around to do most of my image and audio editing in under (gasp) OS9 no less. I can still do huge modern-pixel-count images with Photoshop 6 just fine, because I don't really care about 10bit color or whatever the hell the kids are up to these days.

Most people working for minimum wage (and probably most people in general in the US) work pay check to pay check (like the Applebee's manager stated in the article). They max out their available credit so that the interest takes up all of the possible slack in their income. Under UBI how to you prevent people from now borrowing more money (spending it on a vacation, clothes, fancier car, etc.), paying all the UBI as interest and ending up back in the same financial situation they were before. I don't think UBI solves peoples financial problems. I think Thomas Paine's idea of getting a large lump sum when reaching the age of maturity has some merit. Maybe a manditory two year service in the military or other government org after high school and then they receive a large chunk of money to start their life ($200k or something like that). The person could spend it on school, start a business, down payment on a house, wedding, etc. Having classed in high school discussing what one should do with that money would be a great way for students to think about the future and in a positive way.
I know how this works: someone will show an example and someone else will say that decent human beings don't think like that and that they deserve to be silenced.
He's saying that if everyone has extra money, then everyone can afford higher prices.

Since they can afford higher prices, people will charge those higher prices. And you are back where you started.

Microsoft isn't actually responsible for this nonsense. Metro did get rid of bevels, but it didn't get rid of obvious buttons: they simply turned into trivial colored rectangles.

Zoning. You link the "zones which employ people" and "zones which house people" to balance so you don't have significantly more jobs than homes.

Next you zone for type of housing, where you only allow a certain percentage of the most profitable 1BR apartments to be built, and require those to be above certain size thresholds so that a variety of life situations can actually live in your city.

You don't need to "incentivize" construction, the people that do that already make enormous amounts of money.
