Because people are willing to pay the price point. In places I've been, rule of thumb for pricing is usually 3x BoM. I've heard (sorry no reference, just word of mouth) Apple targets at least 5x.

Side-note: if anyone believes the idea that companies pass savings to the consumer... Well I have a nice bridge in Brooklyn they might be interested in
That's because node and friends are commonly deployed with tls termination at a load balancer level, and that you likely want a faster server serving up static content (Apache/nginx/caddy/whatever). Given the choice between encouraging people to shoddily wire up TLS in their apps, and providing plug and play support in things like Caddy, I prefer the latter any day of the week!
Big employers sure but small and medium? I doubt it. A whole lot of smaller businesses just discovered they don't need the overhead of a real estate lease and the owners are quite happy to keep working and pocket that extra money.
Honestly I'm happy the C standard now address how realloc behaves in detail. It was already hard before, and now it's documented.
Alabama Tax Tribunal Says Out-of-State Workers Owe Income Taxes
It could be anything.

1 person said they trash talk with coworkers during lunch. Perhaps instead we could have washed the dashes or started the washing machine or the laundry as you say. You can collect the parcel. Lots of small jobs.

Or when you aren't "working" in the office what do you do? Go over to a coworker and talk about "non-work"? Are you actually "working" intensively every minute?

Maybe read up on the studies or even listen to women that have had to do household work whilst working from home? What do you mean how? Good question. How do they survive when such men have forced it all on them and pretend it is nothing?
I’ve always thought this same thing about UBI. Like that episode of Futurama where every citizen gets a $300 bill from the government and in the background of the scene right after they announce it, you see the 99 cent store sign being changed to the $299.99 store.

Because Apple sets the price according to what people are willing to pay. The price isn't directly related to the manufacturing cost or the development cost.
The only wrinkle here is that if you go back to the 1970s and 1980s the teen suicide rate goes way up. In reality it seems like the second half of the 1990s until roughly 2010 were the anomaly. We had what seems like a golden age for teens where suicide and mental illness were lower in those years and may just be returning to the mean.

I am not arguing that social media on phones is good or that it couldn’t be part of the problem, just that the more data I see going further back the more it looks like there are other things involved too.

I was a teen during precisely that golden age. I was isolated and kind of depressed as a teen but I also remember a ton of interesting culture that really made me feel like there was something to live for. The three standouts in my memory were the great music, the teen and youth subcultures (which back then really were kind of underground), and the incredible frontier feeling of BBSes and then the early Internet.

If I were a teen today I have no idea what would feel like that. There just seems to be nothing. The music is awful. The movies are all remakes and comic book crap. The experience of the Internet is just scrolling social media. All subcultures have been publicized and commoditized. Maybe someone actually living it can contradict me. I hope I’m just old but it really does look bleak.
And significantly less burdensome manufacturing pollution rules. The West exported manufacturing pollution to developing countries and named it 'free trade'.

Is it not an existential risk? To allow their enemies to build up strength on their borders has proven to be an existential risk in the past, although obviously they triumphed in the end, albeit at great cost.

The worry as I have heard it that Russia may not be willing to accept defeat in the Ukraine and will use nukes in the Ukraine, not USA or Western Europe - which is of course bad enough in itself - and that this might escalate into a global nuclear exchange.

Your final point is interesting - I suspect it is a logical artifact. The people who are worried about nuclear war are generally people who want to minimise death; and people who want to minimise death generally prioritise peace; and people who prioritise peace are generally labled as wanting Russia to win, as they would give Russia concessions if it means fewer hundreds-of-thousands of deaths - and anything other than a total victory for Ukraine is said to be a victory for Russia.
UBI will always be the best answer. MLK advocated for it as the best way to alleviate poverty. Even Milton Friedman believed in a pseudo-UBI through his Negative Income Tax.

If you are going to spend half of your waking hours with a team, it's better to have good bonds with them rather than mere transactional relationships. And in-person interactions makes better team connections than Zoom.
This is a touchy subject and it's easy to be insensitive. There is true, desperate poverty, then there is is comparative poverty, then there is perceived poverty. Poverty can be hard to define.I could make a comment about a child who gets free lunch at school but also buys a new $1000+ phone every year. But that's an old story -- like the shiny decked out Cadillac parked in front of the shotgun shack.

There is true, desperate poverty in the U.S. I don't mean to dismiss that. But much of what people in the U.S. consider to be poverty today passed as middle-class America 40 years ago. In a sense, the difference between alleviating poverty and subsidizing affluence can often be a state of mind. When a family with a house and a car and three televisions tries to improve their situation so the single parent isn't working three jobs while the 12-year old kid fixes Ramen for the siblings, that's an effort to rise out of poverty. But that family is still a 10-percenter globally.

I'm reminded of a situation I witnessed fairly close up a while back. A family in our community lost everything when their house burned down. They weren't poor before the fire, but I don't think they or anybody else in the community considered them to be rich. Before dinnertime on the day their house burned down, each of their children had a place to sleep, clothes to get by for the next week, and a lot of hope that their circumstances were temporary. Within months, a lot of hard work from the parents, neighbors, and extended community put the family back in their rebuilt home. It probably took years to really replace everything. But today the family is well situated.

I have seen others who have received similar levels of assistance who are much less well situated. The biggest difference I can perceive is a state of mind. One story can be characterized as a case of subsidized affluence. Some others have been efforts to keep their heads above water. But the level of assistance was very similar.

I am not saying that poor people are poor because they choose to be poor. But I can't escape the thought that a poverty rescue program and a wealth management program could cost the same amount of money and target the exact same people and have different outcomes. A casserole delivered to a family in need might do less good than a neighborhood block party that feeds the same family. Granted, a block party might not be appropriate for a family recovering from a funeral. But it illustrates the different mindset.
TLDR: The conclusions are that the reinforcement of short-term gratification by social media and phones in the young brain is a real treat to society, as a large part of it's normal functioning is based in long-term gratification.

I thought it was interesting that they framed blinking inboxes and vibrating phones in class to be a ''new kind of Marshmallow test'' ( test in which a child is asked to not eat a marshmallow left in front of them so that they can, after a delay, receive two marshmallows to eat - showing capacity to wait for delayed gratification.
You can look at an anti-poverty program fund flow as:

money in ==> gov't processing ==> agencies providing service ==> service

(the "agencies providing service" would be NGOs or local organizations.)

You can look at your figures as "money in." The relevant figure is "service."

It's a lot harder to get that number.
The global economy has tanked many times. Smartphones are just the once. Your argument is that having something new you're nearly always conscious of has no impact?

Started skimming this, but quickly grew tired of not seeing firm data. Did a search for "withdrawal" and found no matches.

My kids watch about 20 minutes of carefully selected video content a day. It helps wind them down before dinner and gives my wife and I a moment to breathe, so I'm not in the "pure poison" camp.

But does that mean it's harmless in any quantity? I'm have no interest in assuming so, and finding out where screen addiction begins, and then trying to walk it back.
Cowpats are what poor people used as fuel. It was a common practice in India till about 20 years ago. Mix cow dung with hay, make it flat, dry it and you can use it as fuel. I am sure it is not India specific thing.

The same cowpat is also used for to burn the offerings in the temples.

>Putin has shown restraint over past two decades

Ask the people living in Georgia, Ukraine, and occupied Chechnya about how much "restraint" Russia has shown them.

>Those who may replace him, real hardliners, may be less restrained.

In the context of geopolitics Putin is the hardliner. The other "hardliners" are all puppets that are used to give the illusion of dissent in Russia.
Festen (The Celebration) is one of my all time favs. A couple years ago I decided I had to own it because it was so hard to find. Incredible how hard it is to find movies like these from 15-30 years ago. Someone needs to step up and conserve them.

All the benchmarks I have seen, particularly real-world, show it to be significantly slower than static languages.

Are MS Office or LibreOffice native?

They use DOM (not W3C DOM but their own) and good portion of scripting to glue components together.

Is my Sciter.Notes application (https://notes.sciter.com) native? It uses native implementations of DOM, CSS, database with components glued by JS...

Is any game a native app? They all use their own DOMs and almost all games use various scripting engines.
Isn't that usually how societal norms work? They're not the result of a statistical calculation, they're expectations.

Quite often they're unrealistic expectations that work to preserve the status quo to the detriment of the majority.
In recent years I've been slowly reverting to 80s me, where as you say, we just hung out. (Mid 90s was when the idea of keeping in touch with friends online instead of in person started creeping in for me, initially via ICQ and AIM.)

It's just better. 1980s mode (having a couple of good friends I spend a lot of time in person with) is better than 2020s mode (having hundreds or thousands of online "friends" who I'm not really that close to). I just find it more fulfilling to interact with people in meatspace.
That's a pretty small subset of the 9-5 working pool.

Yes the average middle to upper class American underestimates how undertaxed they are for the services they claim to want.

$60k American income person pays marginal income tax of 12% or 22% depending on single or married. And sales tax probably 7%. Even if they live in a high tax state, add another 6% income tax maybe.
If you have a 9-5 job you can do from home, go get Chick-fil-A for lunch and tell the person who serves you that you aren’t rich.
On the contrary, it's the natural state of all thriving organisms to do some form of constructive work. It has also been the human condition and the condition for prosperity as long as we've existed. That isn't to say that leisure and play and pleasure have no value. Not at all! But it's axiomatic that nothing has value without its opposite. And if you look at the wealthy who do not work (as opposed to the ones who do), it's clear that nothing is valued by people without the sense that they've earned it.
I once worked at a small software developer that had an interesting new application and was looking for a distributor. Two distributors made pretty good offers.

One was a new distributor and one was Syncronys, the company that had developed and distributed SoftRAM 95. Synchronous would be able to get our product into more stores, but many of us were leery of working with a company that had previously sold a fraudulent product.

We raised these concerns to Syncronys. They told us was that the fraud was done by the guy who had been in charge of engineering, who had also been the person who actually wrote SoftRAM 95, and the people on the business side of things had thought they were selling a real working product. That guy was out, and they were looking for a good product to try to rebuild their reputation.

That was a bit hard to believe, because almost always it is the people at the top that do these finds of fraud.

Then they told us the name of the engineer. I'll just call him X. It was someone we were familiar with. Before the founder/CEO (who I'll call F) of our company had founded our company he had co-founded an earlier company--and X was his co-founder!

F had taken some time off from college to move to Silicon Valley and earn some money to be used to start his own company. There he met X, worked with X on a few consulting jobs, and together they came up with an idea and started a company.

X stayed in SV to deal with the business side of things, and F came back to college to finish his final year and to recruit students to work part time for their company and then run the engineering side of things. Engineering was run out of his room at college for a few months then out of a rented house near the college. All the employees were friends or acquaintances of F (and of me) from college.

At some point people started getting paid late, and when F tried to get that fixed found out that X had not been accurate in the information he'd been giving F. Things fell apart, somehow resulting in X getting whatever money there was, and leaving F with with nothing and several employees with missing pay.

In light of what we knew of X from that, and from some subsequent things we'd heard about his subsequent endeavors in SV, the Syncronys thing made a whole lot more sense, and it was quite believable that the business people there were indeed taken in by the fraud.

We ended up putting the matter of which distributor to pick to a company wide vote and Syncronys won by a small margin. We went with them and as far as we could tell they dealt with us honestly and did a good job.
Tried this with a couple of forms in Alaska and they were rejected because the signature looked like a digital one. (Even though my digital signature is a scan of an actual signature)
> No one I know shows up to a friends house on a whim or unannounced. It’s all planned activities and the art of conversation has died in the U.S. We are social creatures and the solitary nature of being online has an unhealthy, anti-social side effect.

100% agreed. I think it's actually the true underlying cause of the political fracturing we've seen in America (and are starting to see elsewhere as it filters out).

It's also the biggest difference I've noticed since moving to Ireland. People still sometimes show up unannounced, just to see if you're home and want to chat, especially in more rural areas; plus, you have the pub culture where people go and just have a drink and a chat. It's not great, because drinking is expected (though thankfully alcohol free options have come a long way) but it's much better than what exists in America.

I actually worry messenger apps like Discord make this worse, because you can just get a facsimile of human interaction online, and it's nowhere near the real thing; in fact, it can't be, because it won't trigger our brain the same way as seeing facial expressions, etc., does. Even more, I worry that as chatbots get better, we're going to see this trend get even worse as people turn to chatbots (and/or companies start shoving them in front of us). I can't see things getting better with the current state of the internet.
> One has to know Crimea used to be part of Russia

This is Europe. Everything was part of something else if you go back long enough. And in most cases not even that long.
Is there a piece of code somewhere that down-ranks the topics in this map?

I understand the Ukraine crisis is listed along misinformation but that's not enough to know what this map is made for. I'd like to see where this map is used before taking someone's word on it that all those topics are down-ranked.
sometimes people like spending time with coworkers!
It's not hard to see the danger if you think about it a little. Probably before long we'll have AGI at human levels. Then inevitably it will get to better than human levels and be able to improve itself without needing humans to so. The question then is could it turn on humans and wipe us out? I'm optimistic the last one won't happen but it's hard to say the probability is zero.

Would you mind providing some source on Ukraine officials?

If Ukraine will stop fighting their independence and the country is over.

They'll never join EU or NATO. There will be no investments to rebuild.

People who left will never return back.

>Would you deem tweets that encourage donations toward Ukraine's military defence to be "promoting war"?

Actually this is promoting war. Because if you are donating to someone who is at war, you are participating in this war.

Some people just think that Russians will never come and ask them why did these people give money to kill their brothers.

Also it works like a promo. First you are supporting someone with tweets. Then you are sending money. Then you are sending weapons. Then they send you to the battlefield, because You know, it's very important to support Ukraine.
I think your vision is too US centric, US hegemony lead to disruptions to foreign nations like afghanistan, iraq, libya, etc. My pov from latinamerica is that my country could be next, and neither your culture nor your "business class" seems the future(we reflect your cultural hegemony with our version of shitty role models), si why not challenge US hegemony?
They probably are using Seattle rate for the entire state. They probably get most applicants from Seattle so it makes sense. Someone could move to a smaller town in state and profit over the difference.. you could do the same in BC or move to rural Alberta.

Policies like this are sometimes made because US employees might have state/federal tax breaks. Usually it is because the average developer wage in a region is a certain amount. Why pay $500k when $250k lands the same group of candidates. If it's too low let them know and move on.
>Ukraine was invaded by its neighbour.

This is the jingoistic phrasing we hear a lot, which implies that Russia did something unique. As Americans, certainly we invade many countries, but we have the integrity to invade countries who are not our neighbors.
Exactly my point. Since 2008 it's been all downhill. You may have been insulated from the impacts of the series of crises is but I can assure you it's been pretty stressful for most people.

The problem with Munich is that the metropolitan area is f.. expensive as well.
They are required by law to do certain things. You can't print black if yellow is out because the tracking microdots won't print. The region is extremely important not to be changed because different regions have different requirements.

You can't even create a printer startup and fix the issues because it's all basically regulatory.
For your housing example, we just need to produce more housing - but so many people are opposed to it. It's not that the private sector doesn't want to, obviously, they just aren't allowed to. You're making a good argument that we should allow for more housing to be built, but I don't see from your argument why it's better for that to be the government.

I can't think of many examples where the government does a better job producing things than the private sector. Even in countries with, for example, socialized medicine, and assuming you think that works well, the services (I think) are still provided by private companies. Maybe the VA Hospitals in the US - though I'm not sure that's an example of the government doing better or not.
Hmmm.

First you say that there can be no proof of anything about the physical world.

Then you tell about a Nobel prize for showing Bell's Theorem is physically true ...
This is perfectly reasonable if you provide internal network time, and you don't want people using your network for illegal activity. At work we don't block "all UDP", but we block anything QUIC, anything classified as a VPN or proxy, and anything like DoH which is intended to obscure visibility into network usage.

Organizations who are not doing this are not adequately managing their network.
