> It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

Rather than writing everyone off a Just That Dumb(TM), perhaps the really neat trick has been to convince a sufficient proportion of people that their salary depends somehow on carefully not understanding "living wages" and "rising wealth inequality is a problem" and "the planetary ecosystem is in bad shape".

Disclaimer: for my own part I certainly have a substantial amount of decidedly uncomfortable cognitive dissonance between "I want a nice comfy life" and "I'm literally part of this problem, aren't I?". From the outside I probably seem like just another zombie to some people.

Ironically, although that quote is by Upton Sinclair, it is not from The Jungle, which concerns the meat packing industry.
I did something similar but using Autoit

I used the dialog box to create little 'applications' such as listing all the printers in the building (along with description) and allowing the staff to choose the printers they wanted to use (back around 2005 ish)

I had loads of these little scripts for staff to use - and some server side stuff (mainly windows) such as generating daily configs and collecting all the logs and looking for differences

I pretty much automated half my job, allowing me to do more interesting stuff
That's how I'm treating it. It seems once you get certain YOE you can be more picky. I'm already working minimum wage jobs, so this isn't a complete change of direction or life style anyways.
Hard to fix a machine that can never ever go offline.
TLDR: "The concept of “elite overproduction” has attracted a lot of attention in the past several years, and it’s not hard to see why. Most associated with Peter Turchin, a researcher who has attempted to develop models that describe and predict the flow of history, elite overproduction refers to periods during which societies generate more members of elite classes than the society can grant elite privileges. Turchin argues that these periods often produce social unrest, as the resentful elites jostle for the advantages to which they believe they’re entitled."
Not sure how much goodwill is left, given that a big herd of depositors left on thursday. But there's probably some. If you kept continuity with a more diversified client base, that's probably enough for many customers to stay.
Your interpretation of history is upside down. Rich nations existed before slavery, that is how they were able to afford slaves in the first place. On the other hand a lot of African tribal chiefs earned a lot of money by selling captives into slavery and yet had nothing to show for.

>> Europe hardly made any progress during its so called "dark ages".

I recommend you reading a history book or two before making such claims.
I was naturally thin too until I started driving to work.
E-ink gets exponentially more expensive with size, and an e-ink panel in this keyboard would have to have a fairly decent resolution and refresh rate, whereas the price tags are usually 1-bit color, low res, and barely have to refresh
> Want your kids to work forced overtime attaching dead chickens to hooks in a fridge?

I get your point. But the example doesn’t look convincing. If you’re comfortable with eating meat you should be comfortable with seeing how it’s made.
It was 0% interest rates before then that actually caused problems. Raising rates should have happened sooner but trump threatened to fire Powell if he did.
I really like Textual. I'm very much the TUI type, and upon discovering it, I decided it would be my go-to for interfaces going forward, as - ideally - I'd be able to run the same apps on my desktop as my home server as my cloud servers.

Well on the latter two, I realized I had a huge uphill battle, as SSH apparently uses CRLF over LF, and I was finding myself having to rewrite half the library to accommodate that.*

And on the former, it occurred to me that I hate everything about Python's asyncio. I'm sure that'll anger some, but sorry, it's terrible, and it doesn't help that every major version deprecates something in favor of something new.

[*] Any advice here would be welcome. I can't find much literature on the subject.
A cup of cauliflower is about 25 calories. A 2 pound head of cauliflower is 224 calories, only about 10% less than the burger.
congrats on finding a new job !

> Experience and geography are two very important factors in our industry.

yeah, I was wondering to what extent they mattered. Like to what extent you should be willing to relocate or wait for an open job in your area ? And to what extent you should apply for the same job, or switch to a totally new job.
I've usually been very quick to relocate and to get a new job, even underpaid bc I didn't have experience.

But after just a few years, I believe I'm already paid more than if I continued on my first job. And there is a margin for progression, as the company still sees me as a beginner.

Did you have to relocated ? or to get a new job ? or you're keeping your routine in what you're already good at ?
I only brought up the Gladwell post to clarify the scale at which these institutions operate. There is no question that they have the money, and, if they chose, could sustainably provide scholarships to some subset of the particularly meritorious. Nothing stops them from soliciting donations for a new merit fund just as they do for their chairs and libraries.

I'm not saying everyone deserves a merit scholarship—but if the point of university is to nurture the best and brightest, then the best and brightest shouldn't have to pay such exorbitant fees. Afterall, they're the reason the colleges maintain their sterling academic reputations.

If you have a household income of 250k—of which your take home is ~160k—and Columbia subtracts another 90k, that leaves you with 70k to pay for everything else. In expensive locales, that's not nearly enough to pay for the education of two children without mortgaging your house. If said best and brightest are unable to attend due to such circumstances, a merit scholarship seems in order—otherwise, you, as a college, are admitting that money means more to you than education, and that you're willing to take someone who isn't nearly as good (there's a reason you didn't admit them initially) simply because they're capable of paying. Not everyone who is admitted can afford to attend at the price of admission demanded by these colleges. Again, I speak from experience.
> This is a lot like the ages-old trick of a compiler being rigged to recognize particular source file (benchmark program) and pulls out a hand-optimized assembly program.

I never knew compilers did this, but I remember it being the case for some games (There was a debacle once upon a time where renaming 'Quake3.exe' to 'Quack3.exe' would reveal such shenanigans on some drivers.)
> Pentagon Looking to Make Sure SpaceX Doesn’t Abandon Them in War Again

SpaceX having morals and not wanting to support one side or another in war is fine by me. But they should have stopped well before selling a ton of gear to the Ukraine (some of which was on the US Government's dime) and then shutting it all down after the checks had been cashed.
For sure. I realize that my moving to the country to get some space means that the people who were here before me have a little less of it. And the people who come after me mean that I'll have less. It's human nature to say "I want a house out here, but I don't want anyone else to have one". I try not to have that attitude, but I recognize the paradox.

I don't know what the solution to sprawl is. I was merely answering the question of why everyone isn't on board with the high-rise lifestyle. "Just put everyone in skyscrapers" is one of those obvious solutions that fails to account for human nature. People aren't widgets that can just be "put" somewhere.
Ugh.. anyone thinking of sending their kid to work in a meatpacking factory should read the Jungle by Upton Sinclair instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle
I remember using that at SFU from my undergrad days. The Computing Staff (well, the managers) got lazy and didn't want to move off of it way after it was obvious that its glory days were past, and one of Unix/Microsoft were the way of the future. They were all fired one day and the remaining staff were told to move the entire infrastructure (minus some of the stuff like payroll, administration) over to Unix by end of year.

I spent far, far too much of my undergrad time on *forum, I don't think I've ever used a conferencing systems as seamless as that one.
Except that SVB is considered a "nonbank" by Federal Reserve, no?
Can you read the article first? There's a big difference between IT jobs and working in meatpacking or construction.
You can cease buying sugary foods and snacks like chips at the supermarket when you shop. You can explore swapping macros a bit so there's a bias in favor of eggs and fish and other protein. You can try to cut down eating between meals.

The idea of Predestination with regards to eating needs to stop. If there is a psychological addiction then that's the part to be addressed, it's a valid concern. I see what people eat - even people that are not obese - and it's disgusting. I can see at work, at restaurants, even walking in the streets what people eat. That this is 'normal' is what we have to actually try to stigmatize. Donuts, muffins, giant appetizes at dinner, all that stuff should be almost never eaten. Birthday cakes? All that stuff will become disgusting and nauseating to you if you step away from it for just a few months, and your body adapts away from sugar and carbs. It might be hard in the beginning as your metabolism struggles to adjust and keep signaling for you to eat more.

And for the record - not drinking alcohol is a lot harder than not eating for many people I know.
I saw this[1] comment today which uses a different shader on the notion of revisiting settled decisions. It was about Meta re-discovering why cubicles are a solid choice for productivity. This is fine. I don't think it'll pass.

> yes, it is Good Actually that we are continually questioning and testing received wisdom. If we end up reinventing old things from first principles, that means we have all the more confidence in them, rather than relying on the unalive momentum of tradition and path dependence.

Oh.
yes, but only to a certain extent

in cases of Ozempic use I have observed - less food is consumed but it is still tending to be garbage

weight is lost but I doubt there is a substantial health gain

I have read that the intent was to bootstrap better habits and then stop taking Ozempic once the better habits took hold...instead people will just take it forever and keeping eating (fewer) burgers
The problem is that the valley culture wants it both ways. It is a largely libertarian, rules-breaking environment. They want to ignore laws and decry regulations while at the same time having the government step in and bail them out whenever anything goes against them.

I, too, have worked for startups much of my life. Sometimes you show up for work one day and the doors are locked because the place is done. It is part of the deal. There are lots of reasons this can occur - hey, we just couldn't close another round, the economy hit a speed bump, etc. 2008 happened. Worldcom and Cable and Wireless just declared bankruptcy and they were our lead customers. etc. It is part of the startup cycle.

If something like this this had managed to kill AirBnb, Uber and Lyft before they did the damage they did, the world would be better off.
You do have to know it exists, though. Remember the CFO at this hypothetical startup is probably really good at Python, not treasury management. And later on if you need something like a revolving AR credit line, you can’t use your IntraFi balance to collateraize that.
It’s still capitalism if you add guard rails and insurance. There is no reason to promote or allow bank runs. It doesn’t benefit anyone. The FDIC insurance cap should be increased and pegged to inflation and cover 90% of deposits. Then there should be additional voluntary insurance that could be purchased above that limit.
The article quoted in the link (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2020.00053...) contains a list of plausible hypotheses and mechanisms for why some amount of fat might actually be good for you. I don't have enough background in human physiology to say how seriously those should be taken, but there you go.

I'm sure that other people's minds exist. I don't have overwhelming evidence that they are capable of empathy or logic. How do _you_ explain poor, rural people fighting for the benefit of billionaires? IMHO, it defies logic. How do _you_ explain people campaigning against the civil rights of people whose personal choices have zero effect on the lives of those campaigning against them or negatively affect literally anyone in the world? IMHO, it shows a complete lack of empathy.
The all have the same issue: you tied up with what ever meal you are given (regardless if you've chosen them or not). Those are perishable goods. It means that you cannot just drop one meal without incurring waste. Their recipe are not very varied either, which can lead to some less than desirable meal (some are even borderline terrible).

I have tried pretty much all the major offering in the UK in the last 3 years. There need to be something more flexible than that. The big store could easily already make meal kits from their stock for specific recipes that would compete with Hello Fresh and the like.
Yeah that's all great, very nice that you had this attitude and for you this was a way to learn the value of money and realize your hobbies. Very good. But I'm sure you can see how for some families this will be the "new normal" - both parents can't afford their rent/medical/energy bills working two full time jobs, so the moment you turn 14 you have to work to help support the family. This isn't some dystopian pessimistic fantasy - this is just how life works in majority of the world already, look anywhere outside of developed world and getting kids to work is normal. It isn't about them being able to afford magic cards - it's about being able to survive.
Like others have posted already - if wages for grown ups weren't bad enough, now they will compete with actual kids who can earn less. Is that the market you want for the society around you?
many modern people do not realize that in many parts of the world, for a lot of civilized history, ordinary daily labor was done by indentured people also-known-as slavery or serfdom.

It is a founding myth of the USA that regular people can work labor jobs and have a home and pay for raising children. This happy make-believe has lasted for a while in a few places. It regularly comes apart at the seams, as we are seeing now.

Secondly, many commentators here do not understand that addictive, forced and "no win" products, conditions and living places are the reality for many poor people. Money comes and goes. Watch some non-fiction YouTube about daily life in barrios, coastal South East Asian places, or immigrants in large cities.

edit maybe an additional distinction for context. The British-led industrial revolution started a new series of labor-employer relations.. where, instead of individual workers making one farm or one shoe repair, a set of people could work shifts in an industrial setting, then the goods produced makes a large surplus. The rewards of that surplus allegedly are split, where workers are paid enough to buy them and improve their living. The article here is not about a middle-class high school kid making extra money, it is about fueling industrial work sites with labor from under-18 people, perhaps full-time and perhaps under dangerous conditions, and perhaps with little-to-no transferable skill. This kind of labor is also gamed by middlemen via contracts, deceptive reporting, intimidation and the like.

It seems obvious that more than half the commentators here have no experience with forced or abusive work sites.
You mean with parallel address and data bus? That would be a whole lot of pins and quite a large effort to implement, not to speak of getting the timing right, when going beyond a clock rate of 10MHz or so. In the MCU world (quad) SPI RAM is favored, if external RAM is needed. That can be done with the RP2040 (well, you'd have to move the content yourself, there is no hardware support to transparently access external RAM, like in some other MCUs).

But what exactly do you have in mind with the 'instant booting computer experience'? The RP2040 has 264KiB of RAM already (more than the address space of a PDP-11), so surely that qualifies as 'computer'. That should be enough to even emulate a 8 bit Home Computer (well, it has been done for 6502 and Z80 CPUs and whole CP/M machines and ZX Spectrum).

Not that I get this obsession with 'instant on'. My chromebook is ready for me the moment (well, within a blink of an eye) I open the lid. My desktop needs a minute or so, but I reboot it only when there's a kernel update ...
well, we wouldn't need it had we focused on cleaner energy earlier. we already predicted climate change half a century ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34358759 ). had we acted right then, we would not be depending on oil now. therefore already 50 years ago someone made a morally questionable choice.

I think we misunderstand each other on what is “inside-outside”. Sure, you can have a tiny “safe” block in zig, but that won’t be able to use any outside pointer safely, and I don’t see much point in that — is that what you mean? Because unless you say that, then no.

Also surely you can write some zig to rust compiler (which mind you, will not compile most of your programs as the equivalent rust is not semantically correct), but there is not much point.

Re code:

let ptr = allocate();
if (undecideableProperty()) {
destroy ptr;
}
print(*ptr);

Insert any number of undecidable property there, one elegant example would be the Goldbach conjecture.
Exactly. It’s a neat way to prevent a run, especially if the market makers are acting in cahoots.

Not if someone buys it. Unless a haircut is part of the bid, which seems unlikely. No point having 97% of your new customers pissed off at you.
Life is not fair! A lot of times bad things happen due to no fault of your own. That doesnt mean government should come bail you out. In fact I am bootstrapping a business and if you dont let this event kill all my competition I would call that really unfair.

Furthermore it is unlikely this will even affect anyone that is actually vulnerable like workers at Walmart for example.

Your point is taken, but we have to consider the opportunity cost. For kids not academically focused nor have even with the temperament for vocational ed., who may be getting into trouble at school or flirting with drugs, a steady job even if it's a little rough could be a lifeline. Working in meat processing is extreme, but I don't think it is anywhere near kitchen labor. We can certainly pair these work exemptions with stronger workplace safety oversight, to your point.

It isn’t too difficult for you as individual to open an account anywhere .

Startups don’t have that luxury it was and still pretty difficult to do banking as an early stage startup . There is a reason why there are only 2-3 banks specialized in this sector and everyone banked with them.

If you were a small startup keeping your money in SVB was the safest thing you could have done till last week. They were the largest by far and all your VCs recommended them and probably introduced you to them so you could open an account .
You don't get the point.
Riffing..

Take one of those ideas. Make a site that reviews all the current competitors in the market.

Put the one with the best existing seo strategy in first place.

Contact them and let them know and ask that they link to it, offer to write a guest blog post about how you reviewed every tool in the space and this one came out on top, and why.

Share the site all over where you can find people talking about the niche.

if the niche is not too big, this will often get you ranking for that term. Google loves “best ___ in 2023” content.

You are building a traffic source.

Then you can build a product and put your product in 1st place or even above the list entirely. Write a blog post about how you took the best of the other tool you reviewed and created the perfect tool for <certain persona>.

Ok, end riff, i have no idea if that will work but it seems repeatable and not too difficult. It really is all about getting traffic.

You’re looking for Appendix A, Supervisory Scenarios, Tables A3 and A5 (Domestic Variables). Note that the actual interest rate used is not explicitly specified anywhere I could see, there’s a footnote that it was calculated by Federal Reserve staff according to Lars E. O. Svensson (1995), “Estimating Forward Interest Rates with the Extended Nelson-Siegel Method”. The 10 year treasury bond return is derived largely from just the interest rate, though, and it’s also the variable we actually care about - if they did give us the interest rate we would just be using it to calculate the Treasury rate anyway.

Not that I disagree, but why?
Will the new law only allow underage workers to get meatpacking or construction jobs? If not, I find your comment pointless. Some adults work in meatpacking or construction and other adults in IT.
Years ago, when I was receiving a very high volume of a predictable and pretty malicious looking spam, I wrote an ugly Python script to report the unwanted mail to the originating network owner. It worked well at the time and I think definitely made the lives of spammers more difficult. The volume of spam I receive has been much lower since then.
