This article has almost no relevant information. The comments are not very educated from what I've seen so far.

There have been no significant increases in labor pay matching inflation for years (every year workers have taken a loss).

Additionally, the remainder of the industry is as good as nationalized which started with legislation in 1966, and worsened with the charter of the Surface Transportation Board in 1996.

Railroads can't raise their own rates to increase their profit, despite costs. Little investment has been forthecoming for the industry prompting loans from the government which don't fix the fundamental problem.

There were even points where railroads had to have a bailout because of fraud on the bankers parts, which as far as I know was never actually punished.

The simple fact is, inflation hits everyone, rates aren't matching inflation, and of course people won't continue to work when their livelihood is threatened.

Ironically, this is a problem you only generally see in centralized, socialist systems. The next clear step is Directive 10-289.

Rent in Germany is really really cheap. Even in "expensive" cities.

Energy, on the other hand, not so.
"Five years ago, a study describing a precipitous decline in sperm counts sparked extreme concerns that humanity was on the path to extinction."

Extinction, seriously? Why is it necessary to be so hyperbolic with writing these days. Humanity has increased 8x in the last 200 years and we have plenty of artificial means to have children. I seriously doubt low sperm count is going to lead to our extinction.
The government shouldn't be taking any side.
Thanks for letting us know, should be fixed in a minute!
"Anybody looking at the book and saying "there's a trillion dollar deficit, we're stealing from the future" would have it completely backwards. "

Isn't that only true if the government is spending that money in a way that creates wealth down the line? I think that is a very debatable notion. Not only is the government not creating that army of doctors and nurses, it's allowed the creation of a system where only a limited amount of doctors and nurses can be made privately. They are not good stewards of the money looking out for your grandkids best interest.
1 of your orders of magnitude is you're forgetting that 50-75% of traffic is signed-out, and that 30-50% of resources go to logging & analysis vs the core product.

Another order of magnitude is you're forgetting the cost of 3x storage & buffer for 99.99% uptime.

Another order of magnitude is that data transfer is REALLY expensive. They're not paying just for compute & storage.
I don't understand what you're saying. Why can't a company sell you something then also advertise to you?
Hmm interesting. I thought the cache segmentation was to block timing attacks by the web server (measure time between first page send and js execution to figure out what files are cached i.e. your browser history). I didn't realize it was due to lack of confidence in the JIT. Isn't a WASM JITC a fairly straightforward thing?
If you look at money as a tool, and that tool only has value when it is used, and its primary purpose is to be half a liquidity pair in barter situations, to facilitate trade, having that same tool also be a store of wealth can cause a conflict of interest. As much as we try and hide it, using this tool has a cost each time, whether its a transaction fee, the management/storage/processing of cash, the physical money production itself. The convenience of everything being tradable with anything else, with only one conversion in-between is valuable.

On one hand you want the velocity of money to stay up, so people use the tool frequently, and WANT to use the tool, because that's where it derives its usefulness from, from being used. On the other hand, you don't want to disincentivize savings, but may want to disincentivize hoarding. What's the difference?

I've thought for a while now, that an optimal solution may be multiple currencies. In Singapore they have a savings account that acts like an HSA and you can pay rent from. Other nations have sovereign wealth funds propped up by the extraction of natural resources.

Maybe it is time to have a forced checking account and a savings account and a living account trichotomy, denominated in three different currencies. Maybe the checking account is pure USD, the living account is untaxed TIPS, and the savings account is a conservative state managed investment portfolio. They can then control the exchange rate between these accounts if people need to move money from one to the other. Force point of sale systems to correctly tag what is eligible to be spent from the living account, and deduct part from each. There is room for a lot of automation, especially when you add a one month line of credit.
so your corollary to the No Free Lunch theorem is "Lunch Is Impossible"?
Lots of great advice from people so far.

My two cents: not a lot of people talk about doing entry-level consulting as a pathway into in-house security roles but it's worth considering (and not without its bad parts as well).

I wrote this blog post about it if you're interested: https://www.akatz.org/posts/cybersecurity-grads-should-consi...
The linked comment is poorly written — that is actually the claim which the author of that comment is arguing _against_. He has the correct answer which is that you need to be somewhere around 10ms to be imperceptible but explains where some of the different claims are coming from.

There are a number of confounds for measuring things like this because we're often not talking about exactly the same thing: for example, the times needed to perceive motion, size, color, orientation, and recognize something are all different (to a first approximation, the relative latencies are roughly what you'd expect if the most important selection criteria was a relatively weak fructivorous ape trying not to get eaten) and there are measurable differences between how you respond to things you're predicting will happen, continuous motion, or truly unexpected events. This also varies considerably for novel and trained behavior — e.g. if you're waiting to shoot when you see a pixel change, your body is primed and presumably quite well practiced vs. something random happening in a video. All of that means that something like extra keyboard latency is especially noticeable because you're initiating the action, it's extremely practiced, and you thus have a well-honed expectation for when the response should be visible
There is nothing wrong with stock buybacks, and the only people negatively affected by them are the investors who own the business.

>There was a lot of cross-pollination among the Massachusetts minicomputer companies

When would you say was the point that people in Route 128 realized that the Valley had definitively taken over as "the place" for tech, with Route 128 and everywhere else falling behind? Was it the minicomputer bust, or had the center of gravity definitively shifted west before then?

(For young people's benefit, well into the 1980s Silicon Valley was just one of multiple centers of the computer economy in the US. Route 128 around Boston was anchored by minicomputer companies like DEC and DG, supercomputer/AI outfits like Thinking Machines, and software companies like Lotus and Infocom. Texas had TI, Tandy, Compaq, and Dell. Westchester and upstate NY was IBM land. Minneapolis had Control Data, Cray, and Honeywell. Of the four most important PC companies of the mid-1970s, only Apple was founded in the SF Bay area; MITS was in New Mexico (which is why Microsoft was founded there), Commodore was in PA, and Tandy was in Fort Worth.)

> I suggest to my younger (25-29) female friends to have their egg reserve estimated

hmm... yeah, this would be an interesting biomarker for those in their twenties. It could be valuable later in life.

I was surprised to learn women are born with 1-2 million eggs. By 20 years old, they only have 200k-300k left. They lose more every year.
Been converting friends and colleagues to refurbished Fujitsu Futros S720 for quite some time, because RasPis are not attainable. They go for like €21 with 2G mSata SSD and 2G RAM, it's dual-core AMD SoC with up to 1.65GHz CPU frequency and 4-12W power usage.

They can be upgraded up to 1T mSata (limit) + 1T (or bigger) 2.5" SSD in mirror, 8G DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM or for example w/ 2 port GigE Realtek Network card in the mPCIe slot (reusing m-sata plastic stando-ffs). The SoC (AMD Jaguar core (AMD GX-217GA)) even have AES-NI.

For the SSD, you just need L-Shaped SATA cable and USB header to SATA power cable for peanuts from ali express.

some more info at https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/Futro/s720/ with photos of the motherboard.

S920 has even PCIe slot, so with riser or ribbon cable, you could hook up 4 port intel GigE network card and have 5 port firewall with pfSense, OPNsense or OpenBSD router.

I run mine with OpenWRT, because that mpcie 2-port GigE card is Realtek with lousy support in anything else than Linux.

What's uber-awesome with these boxes, they're passively cooled, so there's no noise apart some minor coil whine at boot.

EDIT: The box has mSata and mPCIe slots, but only plastic stand-offs in mSata. Ethernet card goes into mPCIe, reusing the stand-offs. Fixed that.

That's actually really cool. I have a polk soundbar, which already does have a IR remote, but it doesn't actually do anything...
I had a similar naive thought, but it doesnt resolve easily. For starters, Black can do the same thing just a move behind.

Second, if you ever hang your queen two ways at once - one of them could be a less optimal take (-5 is not as good as -8)

Third, whoever is a move ahead in a race of taking pieces will be the first to run out of weak pieces to take. Their available move pool is shrinking faster. Not sure how it would play out, black would need to cater to it by removing defenders and hanging pieces of their own, etc.

That said, first move advantage does seem strong still due to how forcing a queen can be. An example would be 1.e4..e5 2.Qh5..d5 3.Qxf7#
“If at first you don’t succeed, lower your expectations.”

A good watch, I imagine fixing the least few issues, especially with placing the pieces, would take a long time.
We're two now here.

I don't feel anything personal towards inanimate things like software and corporations, even less so do I want them to treat me personally. For I know that all such plausible pretensions are in fact nothing but mercenary.

Mozilla, why won't you ask your users if they need your products to be personal?
There will be a lot of poor suckers. A lot of pension schemes and even social security in the US rely on having younger workers paying into it. It's a huge part of how people do retirement planning.

If your answer is that you are not planning on counting on it for the future then a lot of people will ask why not stop paying into it and keep the money taxed for yourself? It is a significant tax. You CAN actually stop paying into it and then make yourself ineligible for payments out which includes spousal benefits being cancelled. You CAN conscientiously object, it is a provision of the SSA law.

If a lot of young people saw that, they would withdraw from it and put the trust right now into a deficit which would adversely affect the people withdrawing from it right now.

I think there is a non zero probability of this happening regardless for different, uglier political reasons but it doesn't make a lot of sense for people to be forced to pay into something with no promise of ever getting something back.
Stick around. The world and things in general will get better.
I live in a semi-rural area. Three car garages were always seen as the over-the-top status symbol when building a new house, at least back in the day. This is probably a local thing.
You don't start at the cutting edge immediately. You start where it is better understood. Then you can still pay the enormous investments needed for getting to cutting edge and furthering it, if you want. Also, from an economic perspective, there is still plenty of demand in the market for non-cutting edge node sizes, i.e. in embedded the priority is more around the fact that the chip is not changed from a specific design that was made 4 years ago than having the latest and greatest.

From a strategic perspective, it is absolutely important that you have the capability to build chips in your country, of a reasonably modern node size. You need this for weapons manufacturing, for a working government apparatus (governments use computers now), for sending messages to your population. And if China bombs Taiwan, then this fab will become the cutting edge, instead of you having zero chip manufacturing capabilities.

That might be a valid argument for disallowing NFTs completely, but not for allowing them as long as you give Apple a cut of the proceeds.

> Taiwan and China being one nation is the policy of the governments of both China and Taiwan.

No one in Taiwan and not even the current government consider China/Taiwan together. When KMT fled and created the constitution they claim China. Taiwan is now stuck in limbo because the people just want to live their lives in peace and already consider themselves Taiwanese and independent. But if they change the constitution then China will consider it a formal act of independence and use it as an excuse.
What are they going to do... make poorer decisions? How much poorer? Will it matter?

When a company undertakes cost cutting as a strategic priority, it is usually that they have made overeager long-term bets that turn out to be unsustainable and need correcting. It tends to be short termist.

Real estate analogy. Say I bought a house on a mortgage and I'm fixing it up to resell it. I'm hiring a roofer to fix leaks. That's important long term because it'll save on future repair costs. He gets to work. Then I suddenly have a need for funds for something urgent and unrelated, so I need to make a choice: do I stop paying the mortgage, or the roofer? Probably the roofer. It's still dumb not to fix the leaks. But it's more dumb to get the house repossessed.

When you hit the bottom of your capital reserve (for some definition of "bottom" - Meta is obviously not bankrupt but it cares about its stock price), you end up having to make choices that are really sucky. "Should I cut off your arm, or your leg, sir?" type of choices. Yet they must be made or you circle the drain for a long time before ending up like Yahoo.

Any bets on how soon we'll start seeing deaths because somebody did what an AI suggested? Did this already happen?
But the problem is, the "AI" doesn't actually know anything about the answer it is giving. It is simply brute-forcing and randomly generating based on a huge lookup table.

So what might appear to be an accurate answer, could in reality just be total garbage. Whereas the google answer has at least been written by an actual person.
Yeah, I've known and used "vi" for a couple of decades, saw someone use visual mode in a video a few months ago, and it blew my mind.

I still don't know how to do project navigation in vi, as I mainly use it for editing config files. I used emacs back in the day, but vscode is what I'm currently most comfortable with for moving between files in a large, deeply nested project.

You've got to be kidding. Law enforcement robots are completely remote controlled by a human operator. They have no capability to override an input command, or even understand what harm to a human means. We're talking about the real world here, not science fiction.

The robots have video cameras so those recordings can be used to hold the human operator to account.

Ultimate Hacking Keyboard with cherry MX blues.
I'll share an experience.

My (now) wife and I got pregnant in our senior year of college. That summer I had the good fortune to land my first software dev internship.

At the end of the summer, I was to be given an offer letter to come on as a full time employee after I finished school. I asked in that meeting if I could just continue to work and was told "uh yeah, that's fine I guess". Major victory for me at the time.

I did not share that I was soon to be a father until a few weeks before the baby was due. I was afraid that this situation would negatively color their perceptions of me and my work. But eventually the time came.

I pulled my tech lead aside and asked if I would be able to take a few days off for the birth. He said of course, but, at the time, I was still an hourly employee. My first son was born on Tuesday, I took unpaid time off for the rest of the week, then returned to the office less than a week after my son was born, the following Monday. I really had no other choice - I had been working for about 5 months at the time, and certainly couldn't afford to take any more hit to my paycheck.

About a month later, I asked HR if I had any kind of PTO accrued to take some time off for Christmas. This wound up being how I became a salaried employee - they felt bad that I didn't have PTO and said basically "oh, well, you're full time now anyway, we'll just convert you to salary."

I want to be clear that there was no malice or anything involved in any of these situations, and as a matter of fact, the company was very supportive and provided an absolutely wonderful first job. But still, there was just no procedure or infrastructure in place to support a 23 year old father. Everything that was done to help me through my internship and eventually full time employment was in some sense a just-in-time hack, done by kind people who knew and cared about me.

Had my career started at Accenture or some other gigantic corporate machine, I assume none of those things would have happened for me, even if the HR people were similarly benevolent. Even with all my good fortune, being a parent within the first few months of my professional career was difficult.

Nowadays, 6 weeks of parental leave seems to be pretty standard for professional jobs, and I imagine that benefit would extend even to someone at the entry level (maybe not an intern, but FTEs). But this is a pretty recent development. When my second child was born, I took a week off.

Later that year, the company implemented a single week of paternal leave for new parents , which you would just receive as an extra 5 days of PTO. A very kind and good technical manager, without my asking, went to bat for me and got me the week of PTO refunded, effectively grandfathering me into the new benefit. No one had to do that for me, it didn't even occur to me to ask - but I have remembered that act of care from him for a long time.

So, all told, I had a pretty good level of company support as a young parent. But it's quite easy for me to imagine that any of these strokes of fortune wouldn't have occurred for many others in similar situations.

thank you!! as a CS student interested in ML I will 100% be taking a look at this when I get some free time
Definitely agreed it's not politically viable haha, just seems like a good solution to the issue of housing affordability.

Also as some others said it would need to be paired with building incentives to also make it easier for people to build homes, but in the short term the benefit would be incentivizing people to sell rental properties at a lower price and promote home ownership.

I agree people won't be happy about reduction in rental income, but I don't think we should be incentivizing people to use housing as a way to make money - that's basically going to guarantee that prices are higher than they should be because the whole goal is to profit from it.
