The number of ruling elite is laughably small compared to the number of poor in the United States
The solution to this problem (Wealthy elites getting free stuff) is to just ensure they're taxed appropriately. I do not care if the children of the wealthy are receiving free lunches as long as they're paying their fair share of taxes. Chances are, even with California's weird tax system, they are paying more than your typical middle class family.

I mean, we do it with oil. ...At least sort of. Usually the wells are pressurized so pumping isn't a concern, but there's a surprising amount of infrastructure involved down at depth and the maintenance of that infrastructure is significant but largely a solved problem. Obviously economics probably favor it when oil is $75/barrel compared to ~$3 maybe for the fresh water, but still.

If you have ever been to cities in Holland, you would know that removing cars helps enormously.

Bicycles, pedestrians, trams, all going through the town quite safely. There are some cars too (they are not banned) but not many, and they crawl along.

Dominion Energy in Virginia has an even worse problem than EVs to worry about: datacenters

https://rga.lis.virginia.gov/Published/2022/RD216/PDF

If you scroll to page 66 of the PDF, it’s insane how much more demand is needed for datacenters. It completely dwarfs forecasted EV power usage.
Article is 15 years old, energy and labor prices have increased a lot. We need a new cost estimate.

In theory I agree with you, but in practice I think means testing does more harm than good. Some parents aren't gonna fill out the paperwork and we shouldn't punish kids for that. It also adds overhead to the programs.

And I don't think the ruling elite's kids are eating free lunch at public schools :)

IBM is moving to passwordless auth on their server access. Preferring biometrics. Their youtube channel tells you directly.

True, but many forms of discrimination are legal and good. Minimum age to drive is ageism, but I think we would all agree that it’s a good form of discrimination. You say “no matter how well intentioned” as if the intention isn’t important. But intention and outcome are both very important and determine whether a given form of discrimination is good or bad.
No, I think they could be onto something :)
> I'm quite certain that even the current generation of AI could already make 10-20% of first-world jobs obsolete

I often ask people how we could modify a economy to support 10% automation of the workforce. Where 10% of people are not only displaced, but that we do not gain an additional 10% of new jobs which could be filled by humans.

The most reasonable answer I've ever gotten was jobs programs. But I don't think this actually solves things, and neither did that person. It's just a tax and prevents people from... being the most human they can be. It also prevents us from reaching post scarcity.

Now I don't actually believe that 10% of jobs in Western countries could be replaced. There's 135m people employed in America and AI can't even replace the 2.4m janitorial staff that we have. AI isn't needed to replace the 3.8m retail staff (#1), 3.4m cashiers (#3), or 3.2m fastfood workers (#4), where the first two have already seen significant disruption and the latter is still unsolved since AI can't "flip burgers" good enough yet (yes, I know there are burger flipping robots, you're missing the point). But they still can't replace health care aids (#2), nurses (#5), or even movers (#8). I'd really encourage you to check out the most popular jobs[0] and ask yourself if you truly can disrupt them. Because if so, you should probably apply for a y-combinator seed round. Or AI just isn't as far as many people think it is. Replacing the one cashier and one person working the drive-through (both people multi-task btw) isn't going to significantly reduce the 8 people working during any given shift at a taco bell.

What if you thought of it as: perhaps at your income level your taxes fund one kid's meals, and at the elite's income level their taxes fund ten kids' meals? IDK how the actual numbers work, but that would be the gist in a progressive tax system.

I recently read a book review that discussed South Africa today. One of the many points it made about the dire state of things is that the air force planes that flew overhead during Mandela's inauguration were, a decade later, completely inoperable.
Moreover, if free food is only available to low-income students, having to eat that food can become a symbol of poverty, and some students may feel ashamed to receive it. Making it available to all students, without reservation, avoids that.
First: The Jungle is a work of fiction.

Second: This is primarily just a list of bad things that have ever happened in one of the 3 largest cities in the country, not a laundry list of public corruption.

Third: Sacco and Venzetti were accused and tried in Massachusetts, not Chicago.

Fourth: You get that the stockyards all closed by 1970, right? Chicago isn't a meatpacking city anymore, and hasn't been for over a half century.

This is what I mean by weird arguments about corruption: you've managed to attribute the entire labor rights movement to Chicago. On behalf of the city of Chicago and county of Cook, I accept the flattery, but: that ain't all us. We may have helped kick things off at Haymarket Square, but the rest of the country was shooting plant strikers well into the 1950s.

Might Chicago at some point in the past been the epicenter of corruption in the US? Absolutely! Is it now? No: we have numbers on this, and you can just go look them up. When you do, remember that Chicago (and the Illinois-Northern Judicial District) is bigger than most other places in the United States, so you have to scale the numbers. The numbers say that Chicago has a bigger corruption problem than NYC, which is a useful observation to make, but they don't say that Chicago is the most corrupt place in the country; the capital of corruption in the US is DC.

You are older than I am, but I'm no spring chicken, sorry to say, so you won't be able to dismiss me that easily.

See how this thread is going? Just find ways to make your point without declaring things "the BAD-THING-X capital of the USA".
There are worse things than saving I guess, like being utterly dependent on the state.
This has already happened with Nissan Leaf. It debuted with 24kWh, and now you get 40kWh for the same price, and there's 60kWh option.
The increased SRAM density is a big thing. As process sizes shrink, logic does get smaller but cache memory generally lags behind and does not shrink proportionally.

That’s one reason why CPU caches are still so small and haven’t changed much in over a decade.

This change should enable larger L1 and L2 caches, which is important on modern CPUs that spend much of their time waiting for data to come back from main memory.
I mostly agree, but do want to emphasize that it really depends and there are multiple ways to secure this that range in complexity and maintenance overhead.

The top thing that comes to mind is creating a separate ‘read replica’ DB that logically replicates target table(s) from the source DB, creates a materialized view with a subset of the replicated data in the replica db, and then exposes only the materialized view to a specific 3rd party user.

That way you:

1) Run your primary db in a private subnet — addressing your concern with ip whitelisting

2) Run the replica in a public subnet with extremely limited access(ip-whitelisting and limited access controls to data).

This is definitely a more complex setup to reason about and creates more moving parts that can fall out of sync, but it does greatly decrease the blast radius of a breach, and for some orgs, that may be a worthwhile trade-off. In my opinion, the OP would probably benefit from some basic security walkthroughs on these different implementations to help engineering teams get onboarded/make a better case for their solution if they hit friction with legal or security teams.
Or they were initially started by the big banks anyway. It's funny, when we moved to Australia we opened a joint NAB account. My wife still had a Citibank account. Shortly thereafter NAB bought Citibank, now we had two NAB accounts. Then we opened a Ubank account for better interest and turns out that one is also owned by NAB. Can't escape them...
This would only exacerbate the underlying warming trend, but isn't it the case that reputable scientists have predicted an overlaid major warming over the next ~10 years due to the recent Tonga eruption's injection of unimaginable amounts of water vapor into the upper atmosphere?

It occurred to me to connect it to recent unusual weather, and I found that I wasn't the first, but I don't see anything about it in news about the "crisis".

To be clear, I hadn't the least idea of whether it should result in warming or cooling, but the experts seem to be saying that an unprecedented amount of water vapor - which is a greenhouse gas - should be stuck high in the atmosphere and result in substantial additional global warming on a decade scale.
Maybe the new affirmative action is visible minorities or other groups just get free education?

Now in a better world we'd drop a word from this sentence and make it free for all state residents. That's closer to what it used to be.

Realistically this doesn't change much since it's extremely unlikely a foster kid wouldn't qualify for a full ride prior to this.

The only people who really get screwed are middle class families who make too much to qualify for aid, but can't really afford to pay for school.
I thought this was already a thing. It turns out to be partially covered in 35 states:

> As of 2021, there are 35 states that have some type of statewide postsecondary education tuition waiver or scholarship program for students who have been in foster care.

> 24 states have statewide tuition waivers: Alaska[1], Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, (Dark blue color on the map)

> 4 states have state funded grant programs for students in foster care are: Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia. (Light blue color on the map)

> 7 states have state funded scholarship programs for students in foster care are: Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and Washington. (Purple color on the map)

> 16 states and the District of Columbia have only the Federal Chafee Educational Training Voucher: Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming (Yellow color on the map)

https://depts.washington.edu/fostered/tuition-waivers-state (bonus points for software gore right below the title)

What I was thinking of was the Chafee Educational Training Voucher, which gives up to a $5000/year reimbursement:

> Students can get up to $5,000 per academic year based on cost of attendance, available funds, the student’s unmet financial need.

> Note: For the federal fiscal year 2022, the voucher’s maximum annual amount was temporarily increased to $12,000. On Oct. 1, 2022, the maximum award will revert to $5,000 per year.

In the United States, a lot of times the individual situation is correlated to their skin color.

The condition of being descendants of slaves, or people who faced other forms of official discrimination cited in the prevention of intergenerational wealth such as redlining, blockbusting or unfavorable treatment in the GI bill, etc., is ultimately an individual situation for each individual affected.

The idea that you can dismiss that as not an individual hardship -- though it kind of is for those impacted -- strikes me as pretty much a word game, nothing more. Not unlike the word games American laws started to use when they could no longer punish people de jure for their race.
We shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good. I'd rather see kids get free pizza and hot dogs for school lunch, than I would a system where it costs $8 per student and only some kids get free lunch, but it's 100% vegan fair trade certified healthy food.

Now if you can pull a boiling frog meme and make the pizza be healthy, haha more power to them!

It all does not have to be free, just a government funded option to provide a floor. Public school was my only saving grace, being from an immigrant family that did not know English or how to navigate America.

Although, I also do not think government needs to pay for free schooling for 17 years. Can easily cut some fluff and drop that to 15 years, and still give people a solid foundation equivalent to a Bachelors.
N.B. in New Mexico we recently made state school free for all residents.

Solar prices have plummeted, and that use case can skip storage issues (just run when there's power available). Obviously land, labor, and infra cost are not so simple.
So just like the rest of sub saharan africa?
Because the price paid is somewhat less than the value derived. You might have been willing to pay him $110 and he might have been willing to walk away with $90. But regardless of whether you settle on a rate of $90 or $110 or split the difference at $100, a $20 positive sum is created.

You mention competitive markets, where surplus is reduced or almost eliminated. But most markets do not reach such a late stage level of optimization.
You’re copying and pasting the docs of the things for which it has seen millions of lines of code already. It’s not making the inferences off the docs.

OP is saying that without this initial bootstrap corpus, this won’t work well and hence people accustomed to this won’t adopt the language.
Is the cause of those things too much free time or are they actual social problems? If the latter, was it additional time that enabled them to actually attempt to address these issues or additional stress that resulted in surpassing the requisite threshold. Obviously some combination, but do you really think the dominating __cause__ of riots or do you think "riots are the voice of the unheard" (not advocation, but a warning).
This seems to make sense on the surface, but I'm skeptical about the last part. It seems we're in a race to the bottom and "good" jobs are increasingly scarce. It seems there aren't enough good jobs for the population. Basically, the logic you laid out is probably sound for small marginal changes, but I'm skeptical it would scale well due to the competition and limited resources.

Just to play devils advocate…

Foster children are not a protected class under the law.

Perhaps foster kids could or even should be a protected class, however unlike most protected classes that have faced historical systematic discrimination codified in law, the general hardships of foster children are not based in unjust laws.

I have worked in Dependency law (ie with children that have been abused, abandoned and neglected) which deals a lot with foster kids.

I favor programs that provide funding for foster kids like this and provide assistance when they “age out” of care, but it is a broad brushstroke and doesn’t take into consideration individual situations as you suggest. In other words foster children are not all alike nor are their situations. Some live in group homes and they are just a number or a check for foster parents, some live in loving and supportive homes, even sometimes in the homes of relatives when parental rights were lost but they are still considered foster children. Some become foster kids at 17 and others are born into it. There is everything in between.

It is about the equivalent in terms of diversity of situations as being a minority/protected class that has historically been discriminated against.
Is it that wild? There are a few questions we have to ask

1. Do these agencies have the motivation to do the above? I think the answer here is an obvious yes to everyone

2. Do these agencies have the technical ability to hack the VPNs, the finances to pay them for access, or some other reasonable measure to coerce compliance?

If 1 and 2 are both true, then the OP claim is also certainly true.

Given that 1 is true, I don’t think it’s “wild” to claim that these agencies cannot satisfy 2. In fact I’d say given the historical record, the more wild claim is that the CIA/NSA etc is incapable of satisfying #2.
