"How much of this change is due to automation? Growing income inequality could also stem from, among other things, the declining prevalence of labor unions, market concentration begetting a lack of competition for labor, or other types of technological change."

One of the most interesting hypotheticals to consider is what would have happened if U.S. workers and their unions weren't beaten in the struggle with employers in the 1970s.

Collective bargaining might have channeled innovation into qualitatively different technical paths that were more for the great majority than the path we actually went down. The major political parties might have remained accountable to working people qua working people.

David Nobel's "Forces of Production" examines one set of technical decisions - around the user interface for computer numeric control machine tools - that was seemingly made for the benefits of employers at the expense of organized workers (machinists). Whether you accept his argument in that particular instance, it raises the question of how historically contingent the design of particular artifacts might be, and to what extent they are determined by more or less historically unvarying physical or psychological ("human factors") constraints.
I assumed the same while writing the comment above.

Perhaps the source I was remembering was also referring to SV companies, and I thought it meant the big ones above.
I don't think it's about trust. The easy availability of short-form privacy policies and data export requests are the result of legal requirements, ideally you should be able to rely on those disclosures even if you don't know enough about the company to trust or distrust it. In this case, the disclosures correctly showed that this kind of click data was being collected.

> Do you believe had if she been in the middle of the crowd or in an empty parking lot exclaiming the same with a megaphone she would have been arrested?

No, that's my whole point. She said something that the authorities did not like. She did not do anything whatsoever. And she was jailed for it. She was punished by the government for saying something she liked to say.

You consider a single unarmed woman speaking a 'true threat' to a phalanx of armed police men? I guess there's not much right to free expression left then. The cops on the photo sure do look frightened. I guess she can be happy that she wasn't simply shot on the spot.

Since this is a tree, reordering N elements would be approach N^2 complexity, would it not? (edit: I assumed you would have to find each node from the root, which could very well be a bad premise).

I don't see the code rearming it at every send nor it matches my experience. The code sets the sock option lazily, and only once . The option is needed to configure the driver and possibly the card. Then the timestamp option need to be passed to the send/recvmsg call to phisically retieve the send/recv timestamp.

Far for being absurd it seems a very straightforward extension of BSD socket API.
There's a fundamental difference between gambling and financial trading.

In gaming, you are trading on risks that are artificial, eg. betting on a dice roll or on a roulette spin. Those risks do not need to exist, and they risk solely for the purpose of betting.

In the derivatives markets, the risks you're trading on are not artificial, they're already existant. The purpose of markets is to transfer those risks from people that bear them and need to offload them (hedgers) to people that have appetite for them (speculators).

This debate has been at the core of these markets since the dawn of derivatives markets. See this fascinating Court Case on grain futures: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Board_of_Trade_v._Chri....

At the time, there was a lot of debate on whether grain futures were gambling. The final decision by justing Wendell was not because (paraphrasing) "sure a lot of people will speculate, but saying that these markets exist purely for speculation is off - there's a subset of participants that need to hedge risk, and that makes these markets crucial" (note: intent to deliver was the early form of hedging).

The original response:

"[T]he plaintiffs chamber of commerce is, in the first place, a great market, where … is transacted a large part of the grain and provision business of the world. Of course, in a modern market, contracts are not confined to sales for immediate delivery. People will endeavor to forecast the future, and to make agreements according to their prophecy. Speculation of this kind by competent men is the self-adjustment of society to the probable .... It is true that the success of the strong induces imitation by the weak, and that incompetent persons bring themselves to ruin by undertaking to speculate in their turn. But legislatures and courts generally have recognized that the natural evolutions of a complex society are to be touched only with a very cautious hand. .... It seems to us an extraordinary and unlikely proposition that the dealings which give its character to the great market for future sales in this country are to be regarded as mere wagers or as ‘pretended’ buying or selling, without any intention of receiving and paying for the property bought, or of delivering the property sold, within the meaning of the Illinois act"

Generally speaking, allowing privileged operations because a specific user asked over a TCP socket is asking for trouble: there are quite a few ways that unwitting processes could open a socket on behalf of an attacker without realizing that it is asserting its identity and thus granting privilege.

It's not a focus of "the book" as it was referred to when I was at DG. But Ed de Castro was the initial designer of the PDP-8 before he went on to co-found Data General.

> It could be a malicious Alice.

I don't care if I talk with Alice or with Bob, I'm only interested in what "Alice" or "Bob" have to say, i.e. what they actually write down/share, I'm not at all interested in their identities.

Because of that the coming apart of the whole blue-checkmark thing is really great, as it changes us all back to "Alice" and "Bob" and, hopefully, in so doing it will put the impetus back on what we are actually saying and not on our Alice-ness or Bob-ness.

Sorry to hear that; I had a similar betrayal happen. My business partner and I had everything in writing, so I also was able to get a lawyer on contingency. From my experience, the legal route can take a long time and prolong your stress. If it turns out the company and your co-founders don't have much capital, then your lawyer (even if well-intentioned) might lose interest.

FWIW, we had not yet found product-market fit and my business partner apparently was not able to replace me adequately. So, the company completely lost velocity for over a year, essentially the death knell for a startup.

Like this "bank", they don't appear have any traction, but the WSJ is committed to helping them advertise.

Without more detail this just sounds like a conspiracy theory. Hiring a former regulator is way too weak a link to conclude that Kalshi are pulling the strings at the current regulator.

If PI were operating on the basis of a no action letter they were unregulated pretty much by definition. A no action letter is basically a regulator saying that it won't take action against a market participant for doing things that would otherwise merit regulatory action.

(I'm not affiliated with any of these parties, just going by what I read in the comments and the various publications from CFTC.)

California has always had problems with people practicing medicine without a license.

L. Ron Hubbard got driven out of California and went to Arizona and ultimately developed Scientology (alleged to be a religious practice) to supplant Dianetics (alleged to be a medical practice.)

Kalshi doesn't currently involve any crypto. We're fully centralized, regulated by the federal government, and customer funds go to a traditional bank, where they sit in segregated member accounts.

Though we've built our exchange from the ground up, we're focusing on innovating on the markets side, rather than the financial plumbing side.
I do use it. I'm in a few different chatrooms with friends that have decent traffic, including the general "hoon programming help" groups that have higher traffic.

It is pretty slow, both because it's a decentralized chat and thus things are hosted on normal peoples' home connections across the world, and also just because Urbit the actual binary isn't very well optimized. It's good enough for me, and I don't really expect it to be as good as Discord. I haven't actually hit any bugs in quite a while, actually.

It's not really the exact era you're thinking of, but I think AMC's Halt and Catch Fire is really what you're after here. The first season, about the creation of a new PC, seems to more or less fit the timeframe and aesthetic. The show's intro certainly has a strong 80's cyberpunk/blinkenlights vibe. At one point, IIRC, there are even actual blinkenlights.
Sample size of 1, but I use HomeAssistant a lot more than I ever used Alexa/Google Home. The voice interface might be interesting for the next generation, but having grown with computer/smartphones it just feels more natural to flip a switch or to start a timer on my phone by clicking than just uttering "Alexa turn on the coffee machine".

I see the value of a smart home, I just don't think Alexa is the best interface for it when we all carry a perfect little tablet that has every switch/cameras on it.

It sounds like you were fortunate to have your passion and career be one and the same for 2 decades. Many people do not have this blessing, so ask yourself: what does everyone else do in this case? Personally, I think trying to find purpose/meaning/happiness in your life is the point of life.

This is to say, you'll probably need to hunt for hobbies and find something that gives you meaning, now that the IT-shine is gone.

That is an incentive for somebody else who likes to tell other people how to live. Not for me. I bought a house in suburbia. My basement is filled with home lab, workshop (wood and 3D printing), indoor garden (wintertime leafy greens and starters for the spring), my partner's art studio in place to store telescopes.

Our yard has rhubarb, asparagus, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, apple trees. We are re-wilding the lawn to help encourage local insects and birds. I am working on my neighbors to shield their outdoor lights so that nocturnal creatures aren't messed up as much by nighttime lighting.

I figured out once that for me to live comfortably with all of my hobbies/WFH, my partner and her son, I need approximately 2500 ft.² of living/working space. I have lived in shit-a-brick 1500 square-foot urban apartments and it means isolation, earplugs so I can't hear my neighbors, and high blood pressure. I dropped all my hobbies and did nothing but work because the urban space, was for me, the embodiment of depression.

Our neighborhood is dense enough for public infrastructure. Many rooftops around here have solar which is great for distributed power. Sadly my house is circa 1920 with the slate roof and there is no way on cover up that beautiful structure with solar panels.

There are ways to build suburbia they give people room to live where they live. You just need a different perspective.
you say

> Not. Water is a chemical byproduct of the Photosynthesis. Each time a plant cell uses the sun is making 3 molecules of water by cycle. ...

> Even better, they turn CO2 into water.

this is backwards

photosynthesis destroys a molecule of water per ch₂o unit produced, as well as a molecule of co₂

it doesn't create water, from co₂ or from anything else

this should be obvious because there is no 'h' in 'co₂' but there is in, for example, glucose, c₆h₁₆o₆

you can't produce hydrogen from carbon and oxygen without nuclear reactions, which are not involved in photosynthesis

plants don't have significant sources of hydrogen for photosynthesis other than water

of course it's circular; when the carbohydrates are metabolized, the water is produced again, so it's not as if the water is destroyed permanently, but it's not created either

this is why there are no rain forests in the middle of the sahara, because plants depend on rainfall for their water (or occasionally fog)

indeed, in semiarid deserts one of the biggest drains on subterranean aquifers is often trees such as salt cedars, because like most plants, they lose much more water through transpiration than they consume in photosynthesis

people like you that want to 'make laws much harder' while getting the basic causality backwards scare me

you are calling for violent enforcement of your ignorant errors, the kind of institutionalized violence that produced the greatest atrocities of the 20th century, such as the four pests campaign in the great leap forward
