I was hoping for a Google Earth link to the same perspective (altitude, position, camera angle) as the one shown in the selfie. I didn't find one in the article, or in the comments here (yet!)

I started working on it, but don't have the patience at the moment. Anyone else give it a shot?
All very good points!

We've had wage stagnation for ~15 years. I've long wondered what it is about our job market that keeps wages down whilst company profits continue to grow. Perhaps an unspoken collusion around wages, or maybe lack of salary growth in government jobs that in turn pushes the private sector.

Lack of competition and choices is another issue, as is Australia's dispersion of cities. It's not straight forward for someone in Adelaide to take a job in Sydney that pays more. Workforce mobility certainly pays a part.

When I lived in the UK, I took it for granted that you could commute to another major economic City for work, especially in the South.

Because of wage stagnation, I see a major debt crises looming with BNPL and its old friend the credit card.

It's a house of cards. Taking on more BNPL debt that is serviced with credit-cards is going to become a huge problem for Australians.

I see a lot of people in my community that appear to be doing OK, but with mortgages that gone up over $1000 a month.

People have little savings and live month to month, spending everything they have.

Changing lifestyle and spending patterns doesnt come easily to people, and I see it as the slow boiling frog problem. They'll maintain their current lifestyles because they dont realise the spending and credit problem they have.

Where is the extra money coming from to service their mortgages?

Well, it's credit cards and BNPL. Which will slowly grow until they are in trouble. Maxed out limits on multiple BNPL schemes backed by multiple maxed out credit cards is going to create crippling debt levels.

It may take 18 months to manifest, but I'm sure it will.

I already know that many people in my community carry credit card debt month-to-month and I cant see how this is going to improve.

It's not just those with Mortgages that are in trouble. Renters will be in serious trouble too as all those investment property mortgages have gone up too. Which means huge increases in weekly rents are starting to appear. The Australian subreddits are filled with irate renters.

Just getting my thoughts down, and anything could happen I guess! :-)

I’m a formerly-hardcore (now kinda softcore) leftist and it bothers me to no end when leftwing parties ignore the huge body of economic research/literature/education in market economies to try to push some agenda.

A profit-price spiral makes no sense as a concept without widespread collusion. Let me phrase what they are observing in a way that is actually based in market economics: when the monetary supply increases without actual productive increases in supply (due to things like QE, dovish monetary policy, stimulus) it leads to inflation. Inflation in both wages and good/services prices is not uniform - if you gave every billionaire $100mm you would see different effects than if you gave every person $1k.

What we’ve seen in a lot of economies is that inflation lately has shown up very quickly in consumer goods. You cannot necessarily increase the supply of consumer goods quickly - the supply is inelastic in the near term, especially since unemployment is low. As a business, if you are constantly running out of the supply of some good priced at $X it’s a pretty sure sign your prices are too low and you’re leaving money on the table - so business raise prices on those goods. And with very low unemployment rates, businesses cannot easily drive those profits into expanding their business because it’s hard to hire new people.

Of course, these business have also had to pay employees more and pay more for the goods they sell. But if the market price increases outpace those increases you get profits, and with low unemployment, those profits have nowhere to go except shareholders (or maybe M&A). The businesses would not just pay their workers more because they don’t know what to do with their profits - the entire reason they started a for-profit business was for profit so it’s fairyland thinking that the money would go anywhere else.

I checked out the open positions. There were more positions open than total employees. Are those real positions you are looking to fill or always open positions that rarely result in an actual job?

I asked this because the interview process has this step where you ask the candidates to do a project and than go over it with someone. One of these little projects is design our api or build a github issue viewer frontend/backend. You still have 4 more rounds after someone invested all that time.

The amount of effort to work here seems high and the chances of the position existing and you filling it is so low. I feel bad for the many looking for work.. do you invest 10+ hours in a process where a job may not exist in the first place and the company brags about the goal of one person servicing a million
This feels kind of like the paradox of choice. Too many options and FOMO that you won't secure the absolute best perfect match.

I wasn't sure on my wedding day that I truly loved and wanted to be with the person I was marrying, but 15 years and 3 kids later I couldn't imagine being with anyone else or loving anyone more. Maybe not having to stick it out and make it work is causing some sort of paralysis?
The premise was Microsoft got ahead of the game thanks to OpenAI but ChatGPT also owned by OpenAI performs better? What is Microsoft missing?
Huh, indeed. I found this on the RBA website.

"The Reserve Bank’s reserve requirements are not a Required Reserve Ratio (they are not set as a percent of the financial institution’s liabilities). The Reserve Bank’s reserve requirements are set annually as an AUD amount per financial institution with the aim of ensuring that each institution has sufficient funds to settle AUD transactions after business hours. The amount is set taking into account the historical pattern of each institution’s AUD transactions."

Is there any information on what those figures are because it's kind of important when calculating money supply? If not the RBA could 'print' large amounts of money and not tell anyone.
^ Agree. Similarly I thought Anathem started really well and then became very confusing toward the end.

Also REAMDE was fun, maybe he wasn't trying as hard but I liked that.

It's the Black English Vernacular (formerly Ebonics).

Correctness in language is a matter of custom, not logic. Not only does
"aks" get the pass for common enough usage, it's also a shorter more
distinct sound than the aspirant "ask". Paul Mooney said the black man
is the most imitated man, and he's right. Every culture exhibits its own
linguistic rhythms, and at the risk of being labeled a reverse racist, I
find the cadence and trills of the Black English Vernacular the most hypnotic.
Can they?

I mean, I grant the theoretical possibility. In the same way that they could in theory only meet in person. But I just provided you with a counterexample of that not actually happening. The reason people use things like Slack is because they're way more efficient than setting up meetings to discuss things.

So I think in the long term, a company like Google ruling out chat would be significantly handicapped vs their competitors in terms of information flow, response time, and ability to iterate.

If we assume what a "profit-price spiral" is by analogy to "wage-price spiral" it has an obvious theoretical problem.

Wage price spirals happen because [when the economy is operating near short term capacity], when the cost of living goes up, workers are able to demand and get more money, but that in turn leaves all firms incentivised to put their prices up some more. On the other hand, when prices go up, profits go up... and then firms don't really have any incentive to put their prices up any more because most of that profit isn't finding its way into their customers' pockets (that's a reason for Australians to be concerned about the welfare implications, but it isn't a "spiral"). Companies don't index their prices to average profit levels either. I guess second order effects could include B2B companies and companies selling luxuries to recipients of executive bonuses and massive dividend payouts putting up their prices, but I'm not sure you get an economy-wide "spiral" from that in theory or practice...

This seems like some insane government overreach, though. Like, make the penalties for destroying evidence super steep and criminally liable sure, but it seems pretty wild that you could be convicted of a crime without evidence. In that case, the government has an incentive to destroy evidence and its paper trail.
Corporations are motivated by profit, why would they not raise prices to reflect demand?

If 100 people showed up to some guy’s hot dog stand and he periodically ran out of hot dogs everyday/had so many people in line that people didn’t even line up, he’d make more money if he raised prices until he stopped running out of hotdogs or had shorter lines. That’s because his hot dogs were mispriced relative to demand: at that price quantity demanded exceeded quantity supplied. If I were that hot dog guy I’d feel no guilt in raising the prices of my hot dogs 20% so I could make more money. Corporations work exactly the same way.

There are almost certainly much better pictures. This is just the pilot's selfie. The U-2 is built to take pictures. USAF: "The U-2 is capable of gathering a variety of imagery, including multi-spectral electro-optic, infrared, and synthetic aperture radar products which can be stored or sent to ground exploitation centers. In addition, it also supports high-resolution, broad-area synoptic coverage provided by the optical bar camera producing traditional film products which are developed and analyzed after landing. The U-2 also carries a signals intelligence payload."

- Fuzzy file search - I can't find a way to do this in nano? Where you can search a whole directory by name for the file you want to open. This is very useful in larger projects when you need to jump about a lot.

- LSP and all its uses - jump to definition is a big one.

- Window management - while you can use a multiplexer, using one session allows copy/paste to work, saves your file/search/command history, etc.

- While often overstated, it is undeniably more efficient... once you've learnt it.

However, if you are not doing programming, but are just editing e.g. Linux config files, then I would probably stick to nano (in fact, I usually use nano for these jobs, since getting my neovim config to work when running as sudo failed).

Ahh basically try to make meta decisions that limit the willpower needed. Like don't buy a bag of chips in the store which requires a little bit of willpower once vs having to have the same willpower success everyday. Yeah 100% agreement.
As nice as it would be, I think it's a pretty high standard to hold people to, expecting them to go up against the system. That's what it means.

I'm sure most people see things they feel are ridiculous every day and end up having to participate at some level. Anyone who is able to live without feeling that way is either in a fantasy world or incredibly strong willed.
You can also save like half the money by making that a hand grinder, and there's fewer parts to break. 30 seconds of mindless spinning really isn't much.
Good points. I also wonder if we could take it further. Traditional tenants unions tend to deal with landlords only after somebody has signed up. What if we could get people together beforehand?

E.g., we put together a rental listings platform that is free and comprehensive, so we have a lot of eyeballs for renters in the market. Could we organize them? Could we push for member discounts? Could we penalize landlords found to be using market manipulation software?
When you get the hang of what the wind is up to despite your boat's forward velocity based on what it feels like and the look of the waves and breakers etc.

Just like an aircraft, you need to consider three axes of rotation - nominally: roll, pitch and yaw and three vectors for direction of travel. Then you need to worry about propulsion. An aircraft provides its own farts. A sailing boat flies or is pushed or a combination of those.

A Bermuda rig - two triangles one in front and one behind the mast, basically "flies". The front sail - the "jib" provides some lift and also steadies the airflow over the main sail.

A square rig - think Santa Maria, HMS Victory, Vasa etc generally rely on being pushed. They will probably also have staysails with very complicated names and the like that work in the same way as jibs. Also gaff rigs, Arab dhows, Junk rigs and more ways of using the wind.

In the end the helm needs to feel the wind and work out what to do with it - that's why the ship's wheel on sailing vessels is not enclosed (that would be insane).
> I don't like package.json either

I think you're seeing it from the wrong perspective.

I, as an ardent NodeJS user (hooray UI development), think NodeJS has a lot of problems. Less now, but a lot. Any list of pros and cons for NodeJs looks a bit like this:

Pros:
* Package management
Cons:
* JavaScript

The fact that the deno guys were like "yeah, this whole NodeJS thing sucks, let's throw it all out", only to never have an answer for easy package management, looks incredibly foolish from my perspective. NodeJS might be the single best language for package management today.

I agree with the point that adding support for it is pragmatic, but I am asking the question: how was such a pragmatic thing thrown out in the first place for "principled" reasons? Those principles look very foolish to me, both then and especially now.

You raise a good point, that both moonlighting and non-compete clauses provides employers the ability to fire employees to mitigate risks associated with simultaneous work for a competitor (theft of trade secrets, corporate espionage, etc...). I'm not sure what the correct answer here is, but I'd err towards the burden of proof being more on the employer to show that the employee contributed to a direct competitor using insider information than the blanket clauses we have now.
I'm suggesting we abandon "ThoughtCrime". The way it is now, people analyze your intent and if they determine it is malicious you get punished. If you pretend to be ignorant you get let off the hook.

Paying award rates is a requirement of all companies, but in reality many small and medium businesses don’t.

Small business pay under the table, offering certain perks to employees that make them OK with the arrangement.

Medium businesses use “contractors” where workers like delivery drivers aren’t employees but individuals (or sole traders) working under piecework contracts.

Neither of these are reported to any data-collecting body.

I doubt that nearly every google workspace customer uses google's chat. Having workspace just means that google's chat is available. The enterprises I work with, when asked, have said that they use or are moving to teams, and chatting is either outright banned or restricted. Other than that, Slack is used for non-scheduled chats.

I'm sure there are other programs that various enterprises use, but I've never met one that uses Google's chat.
It's a total slippery slope fallacy. There's two claims at play.

People work too much
--> people slack off at the end of the work week

People work less
--> people are less burnt out
--> less reason to slack off

Somehow, this getting rolled up into

Thursday is the "new" end of the week
--> people will slack off on Thursday

ignores the underlying change and incentives entirely!
