> Isn't wealth _always_ more concentrated in higher age brackets?

Yes. That's why the quoted factoid talks about "at this stage in their life". If you look back at boomers and genx, they had 4 and 2 times as much wealth as millennials do when they were the same age.

> I've heard of millennials not turning up for work because they "didn't feel like working" that day.

Why would that matter? Even if that happens sometimes it's not like it changes things on a generational level if the lowest earners get fired slightly more often.
>Not all of the thousands of different hotel bar soap brands are biodegradable

And? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Are we going to be running out of landfill space any time soon?
a lawsuit against the company that gave the data to the U.S government when compelled? I think they want a redress action that also allows you delete the data, but the U.S government isn't going to do that I guess.
It is very close to reality when it comes to running an actual critical workload.

The whole area out of the water and the first level under water is more like having some fun and playing with different concepts and maybe running something and showing everyone unaware of what the best is and make the say wow.

Then comes the reality of security, automation, management, governance, observability and that is when the project grind to halt or it turn into another one of the setups that leaks :).
These numbers don't add up. Someone making $80k in NY will be paying at least 15-20% in taxes. This hypothetical person would have a max of like $400 a month for all their non-housing living expenses. That isn't happening in a high COL state like NY.
It isn't 2014 anymore and rents have doubled around here since then, cost of living has gone way up, while wages have stayed relatively stagnant.
People post what they feel like, not what they’ve actually tried.

Even if you ignore first time homeowner benefits and such, the usual thing necessary is not living in the middle of California.

Often if you actually dig into it you find abject refusals to consider locations outside of a particular one, or the famous “spend less on candles. no” type of thing.

I see it mostly with very small businesses and government offices, especially in small towns or rural areas. Years ago, they might have employed someone part-time to maintain their domain name, server or hosting service, website, etc. Then it became free and much easier to just create a Facebook page, and any layperson in the office can manage it as the social media coordinator. Sometimes they still have a real website, but it hasn't been updated in years. All the recent and relevant information is on their Facebook page.

There was an item on Hacker News a few months ago about the crisis of water contamination at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. As commented on that item, I was there. For a while, a couple Facebook pages were the only sources of timely information for affected residents. All the town hall events, in which US Navy and Army officials answered questions, were streamed live on Facebook, and being logged into a Facebook account was the only way to ask a question if you couldn't attend the town halls in-person (which had limited seating due to COVID). It was probably two weeks before they started putting all the information onto an official non-Facebook web page after people complained about this (during the Facebook town hall events, on behalf of friends and neighbors without Facebook accounts).

Try volunteering to teach some college courses on an entry level technical subject. It'll help develop some empathy for why not everyone can code. For me it was physics. I was optimistic. I thought I could teach anyone physics. After investing many hours in some of the lower ranking students I realized my mistake. Not everyone has the kind of process oriented thought processes needed to think about math or coding. Nobody knows how to teach it. All technical subjects assume you can think in this manner because they don’t know how to teach it.

Anyone talented at something thinks everyone is like them. Some singers think this too, they’ll say all you have to do is X, Y and Z and you’ll be a great singer like me, easy!
I hadn't seen anyone else use that pair when I suggested it in early Jan https://twitter.com/bazzargh/status/1477998502747779079 ... but I guess there aren't many choices with those letters and other people were bound to hit on those words! Seems quite popular now.

For octordle/sedecordle I found that the 2 standard guesses wasn't enough to stop getting stuck, particularly it's missing Y for words that use that as a vowel. For those puzzles, I use INPUT SHAME GLORY, but I've not attempted to check if this is anything like optimal - I very rarely fail those puzzles with these 3 tho.
This product line is not in the dustbin at all. Kurzweil just introduced the K2700, which still includes the VAST engine introduced in the K2000. It’s pretty amazing how long and continuous the Kurzweil technology timeline has been.
I skimmed through the series last night and enjoyed it. It's a nice basic overview so far and will be handy to point to for anyone who wants to learn the basics of this stuff. I look forward to seeing the rest of it.
The Schrems II ruling was that DPA+SCCs are insufficient for transferring data to a US company. You need to have "supplementary measures" in addition to the SCCs.
May I suggest an alternative strategy/view? Don't think of it as "freeloaders" vs "few who pull all the weight", and don't think you should be paying to "keep things afloat".

Instead, keep whatever tool is best for you at the moment (even if proprietary) but don't stop looking/fomenting the development of a viable free alternative. If you find any project attempting to build an alternative for the commercial ones, follow up with (a) small financial contributions, (b) periodic best-effort attempts/evaluations of the tool as the alternative and (c) feedback on what is missing for it to become your main alternative.

Unlike businesses, free software projects don't need to have a short-term ROI and they don't need to give up if the venture is not profitable. But your small contributions will at least show as a signal that the developers have a potential audience, and your feedback can also provide them with guidance/help them iterate faster on what is relevant.

Aside from marketing materials and mission statements, companies rarely care about their customers and they will not hold you in high regard just because you are giving them money. If they find themselves in a position where they can make more profit by screwing you over, they will.

Conversely, if the free alternative does become a hit, you and everyone else gets to benefit. If it doesn't, it can be picked up later by other people. And even if it fails completely, you didn't lose much.

It's the type of strategy that gives you very little downside, a huge upside and also gives you bragging rights and the feeling of a righteous soul. :)
A median is one such average. By wanting to know the mean or the range shows that you're trying to cherrypick the result you want.

> The average house sold in 1946 cost 1.75X. The median salary was X.

> The average house sold in 2022 cost 7.33Y. The median salary is Y.

Its clear from all the communications, unionizations, Great Resignation, and more that wages are completely broken.

And that above shows what it looks like.

We're one of the lucky ones. We're finalizing our recent house purchase. First time homebuyer. $375k , which was at the top of our budget. I make $150k, which is still a 2.5 factor differential... Which is .75 ABOVE what it would have been in the post-war boom 1946.

Im in my 40's, and its taken me 20+ years to actually get enough of a footing to even look at a proper house. I feel immensely sad for all younger. Can't afford a $600/mo mortgage so they're stuck with $1000 rents.

Loans are for people to borrow money when they don't need money.
That's how it has been for a while, as the bank of England paper explains.

The key is that the bank is "on the hook" for being able to get that money back eventually. So they don't just loan indiscriminately.
In nature there are no guarantees. Eventually you're going to trip and fall. Point is not to trip and fall all the time and recover quickly. That is just how it is. People will eventually pick their French Trump, then get sober, then revert back to someone normal (but hopefully not ancient years old and with the balls to fix problem directly).
Conspiracy thinking isn't going to stop infrastructure projects from happening. For now. Fortunately.

It is pretty easy to explain this perplexing phenomenon if you acknowledge that these people dont share your opinions on neo-liberalism as the source of all of society's ills.

Sorry, can you explain what you mean here: I play hard mode and I always get the word within 6 guesses — and I’m no savant, I’m an idiot, and I don’t cheat — no looking at the word list. The same is true for my friends who play on hard mode: no cheating, always finish. Why is luck required for hard mode?
Certainly! It's just that you might want separate mount, network, etc. namespaces. Hence: "the next step"

Urban and productive places should just build a ton more housing. It is frankly insane that people feel entitled to pastoral scenes 20 minutes from SF. But I’m not sure that applies to these mountain getaway towns that only exist in the first place because they are not the city.
Not in the Bay Area, this is article from 2020 and even then $384k got you only in the top 10%. $105k was basically median.

The national percentile doesn’t really matter when your income is not portable, and you can’t just move and take it with you.

As another post said, it’s doable on $135k but it’s not easy in the SF Bay Area.
It apparently does not, since lack of Linux support hasn't killed the product.

Good news! It's not the EU at all. The websites you visit have the following alternative options:

* Serve static content with no user-tracking.

* Serve per-user dynamic content, where

* Perform tracking that is essential to the service provided. (e.g. Recording GPS coordinates are essential to the service that Strava offers to users, so no explicit consent is required. Recording GPS coordinates is not essential to the service that Google, Facebook, or Amazon provide, so they must have consent to collect GPS coordinates.)

So if a website is displaying a banner request to track you, it's because that website has made a deliberate choice not to use the other options available.

Not only that, but you have additional options as well.

* Hide each GDPR banner, such as using a custom filter in your ad-blocker. Consent to be tracked must be explicit, and ignoring/hiding a banner is not explicit consent.

* Click the "I reject cookies" button instead. The GDPR requires that it be as easy to retract permission as it is to accept. Since the website has an "I accept cookies" button that only requires one click to complete, they must also have a "I reject cookies" button.

I currently have enough money saved to travel the world for 5 years. That's a long time. Imagine how much more fulfilling that journey would be than putting this money towards a lowend 1-bedroom condo in Vancouver and then working 20 years at a high-end career to pay it off. Insane proposition. VHCOL cities are not appealing anymore. I want out.
A co-pilot is still a pilot, and nobody willingly ejects from a healthy aircraft.

Ejecting can still go wrong, and subjects your body to huge compressive forces - it's not uncommon to fracture your spine.

Interesting point about non pilot crew though - although there must be a fairly limited number of fast jets that have mission crew with ejector seats. Perhaps a couple of US bombers?

Honestly, my favorite explanation is that gold currency is a ponzi scheme that forced the roman empire to conquer more and more gold bearing land until its territory was so large that it was difficult to defend while simultaneously invading new territory. The moment they failed to conquer an ever growing mass of land, they had to pay the army while all the wealthy people have hoarded gold and kept it out of circulation which destroyed the medium of exchange function of money and therefore forced Romans to issue additional coins with less gold to pay its soldiers as hoarded gold coins do not pay any taxes.

Most people interpret inflation as obvious government mismanagement, I interpret it as an inevitability because of the inherent conflict between medium of exchange and store of value caused by using gold as currency.

Saved money that is used as a store of value interrupts the circulation of money which then stops the payment of taxes which then forces the government to find a substitute for the loss of tax revenue. The answer is to separate the medium of exchange and store of value function into two separate "institutions". Cash is not a store of value, banks delegate the store of value by giving loans to producers of value i.e. companies and entrepreneurs. If you just save cash/gold, there is no guarantee anyone is going to produce value in the future. You are basically speculating that there are going to be people in the future that will gladly take your gold and then people act betrayed when that speculation didn't pan out.

I agree that the right has a lot of problems and I disagree with them on most issues. I even agree that the problems on the right are worse than those on the left in a certain sense. I also agree that the right-wing view of the left is a caricature like you describe, but I think that caricature is rooted in some truth. For example, while there are other concerns on the left, identity has become a hugely popular issue on the American left in the last decade. To that end, it's disingenuous to portray this as "a right-wing concern" when lots of liberals are concerned about it as well. Moreover, many people (myself included) think that this identity politics stuff is tearing at our social fabric, not only by fostering racial divides, but also because Americans of all stripes are losing trust in institutions which have increasingly rejected aspirational neutrality and objectivity in favor of progressive activism. I don't know how to compare this to certain Republican policies which are more immediately damaging.

> Even if it's true, compared with the problems caused by Republican policies (Iraq/Afghanistan wars, gutting of regulatory state and scientific research leading to opioid crisis, deregulation, tax cuts, attacks on unions leading to the total collapse of the middle class, active lobbying against climate science leading to... Armageddon?) it carries no weight.

I have plenty of bad things to say about Republican policies, but the Iraq/Afghan wars were bipartisan and I don't think deregulation is a clear and universal evil nor are unions an unmitigated good. Agreed that climate inaction is prevalent among Republicans, but I consider Democrats' empty words and gestures (as they pertain to climate) to be just another kind of inaction. Democrats will get bragging rights when they rally around a serious climate pricing policy--if you believe (as I do) that the world is really burning, why don't Democrats offer a budget proposal which reflects that? Why don't they rally around any of the annually-proposed carbon pricing bills? Why did they allow themselves to be completely and wholly fixated on an obviously fake crisis of racist police killings for the better part of the last decade? Why do we allocate so much of our national debate bandwidth to pronouns and bathroom policies if we believe we're veering toward mass extinction?

That said, I think it's super destructive to use Republican behavior (or in many cases, a caricature thereof) to excuse every criticism of Democratic behavior. That's a recipe for racing to the bottom IMO. Instead of responding to "Democrats aren't taking climate seriously enough" with "well, Republicans are worse ergo Democrat climate inaction is fine" it would be great if we could focus on ways to improve Democratic climate policy.

The code.org curriculum for that age can be found at: https://code.org/student/elementary

All other age levels can be found there as well. I like it because it breaks it down to the correct level and language for different age groups, and has a progression of skills and terms to help build them up to the vocabulary that we all use and take for granted.

FWIW, it is not the only curriculum out there. A decent keyword to search to find more is "K-5 Computer Science". Read a few, take your pick.
You’re missing my point.
Minecraft is beloved by pretty much all kids and has a natural onramp of learning increasingly complex concepts.

There are some basics around something in the game called "redstone" that let's you build simulated electrical circuits. But with mods you can branch out into nearly any concept.

For missing mods you can branch out into programming. It's also multiplayer so you can play it with him or he can play with his friends. Setting up a server to play with friends can also be a fun learning experience.

No. Genetics shape how the individual responds to the environment. Just because you can change the environment and get different results doesn't mean it's not due to genetics.
I don't doubt it, but it was still a little frustrating -- as far as I can tell, DRM is never defined in the documentation on kernel.org. (I just doublechecked that by searching for "direct rendering" and nothing like "DRM (Direct Rendering Manager)" comes up.) I could tell from context that this didn't mean "digital rights management," but as someone who is not a GPU developer, I didn't have the context to figure it out.

So, I really think they should take a few extra words and put this in either the introduction to the GPU Driver Developer's Guide or the first page in the section entitled "DRM Internals". They do that for KMS!

> If you encrypt at a lower level than the filesystem then you're at the mercy of that lower level's error correction, but in practice it is rare to encrypt at a lower level.

My understanding is that many SSDs do encryption transparently. The ATA protocol even has a “SECURE ERASE” command that instructs the drive to wipe just the encryption key. This allowed even “bad blocks” to be erased securely.

It's market share, but I suspect Google's numbers may be skewed here by their measurement system. They almost certainly have hard numbers on the percent of users accessing the UI via various platform configs, and the Linux numbers are low. Question is if that's because they haven't cracked into the market because they aren't offering desktop integration.

The other interesting question is: what are Linux users using instead? Because that's Google's competition for this software, which implies how much they could make competing.
fantastic combo!

> Whether or not you believe the basis of global progressivism starts with class distinctions or not and how the US perspective based on identity erodes that is likely where we differ.

I think we agree here. Most "progressives" outside of the US are a lot more likely to focus on class distinctions while US progressives are preoccupied by identity.
