It depends on what it is. The Federal minimum wage is far too broad to apply everywhere: a minimum wage for a high-taxation city centre with expensive housing will mean people are unemployable in remotest Georgia. State minimum wage is better, but still potentially vastly different between town centre and way out in the country.

The best raiser of minimums isn't laws. It's other companies. Making it easy to compete is the best way to raise salaries.

Anyone knows when the Java 21 LTS certification book will be out (“OJP exam” or something like that)?

I’m tempted to pass the exam with Java 17, since the wait for Java 21 will be too long, assuming it will be several months after the GA date, September 21st.
A month or two old, and it couldn't update? This is surprising.

I just yesterday stumbled upon somebody's forgotten Firefox v43, and it upgraded itself to latest. It took three relaunches:

1. Peeked in the About box when the second site I tried to load glitched visibly.
2. Let it upgraded itself to v50-something.
3. Site still broken.
4. About box again, to see if it really updated… yep, but another update already downloaded.
5. Let it upgrade again (didn't note the version).
6. Site slightly less broken.
7. Back to the About box, upgrade a third time.
8. Site fully functional, but checked the About box again to be sure…
9. Up-to-date.

Edit: Just checked; user is now on v116.0.2
If you were that busy you wouldn't even care interviewing anyone, you're supposed to delegate responsibility to the HR team. What would be the point to get involved in a one-time interaction with someone that is (I assume) in another plane to his day to day management of the company? I kind see this like: "Our king has the very last word on the matter, so good luck with him" which is nonsense.

adolescent pregnancy
in efforts to make
pregnancy safer

> Recent data confirm that a wide variation in planning status exists across developing countries.
Results from 37 recent DHS surveys show a median of about 75% of pregnancies to adolescents
are planned (the data are not disaggregated by marital status). However, the percentage of
pregnancies to adolescents that are planned varies widely, from a low of 42% in Colombia to
a high of 93% in Egypt (Figure 23). Important regional variation also occurs (Figure 24), with a
median of only about half of pregnancies planned in Latin America and the Caribbean versus 69%
in sub-Saharan Africa, and between 80% and 90% in North Africa/West Asia/Europe and South
and Southeast Asia.

> No clear pattern emerges when comparing planning status of pregnancy in adolescents versus
older women. In about half of countries of 37 countries with a recent DHS, adolescents under 20
have higher rates of planned pregnancies compared with women 20-24 years old (Figure 25).

> Data from recent studies bolster findings from previous reviews that adolescents in developed
countries have relatively high rates of unplanned pregnancies compared to their counterparts in
developing countries. In the U.S. a 2002 national survey found that only 21.6% of births to women
under 20 years older were planned, compared to 55.8% of births to women ages 20-24 (Chandra
et al. 2005).
Some of the methods were explicitly lifted out of the Deque into this interface.

Anyone know of a good drop in replacement? Internally we’ve gotten the ok for our next release to continue with this software pegged to a pre 4.20 release, but we’ve also been given the directive to “dump this guy” as soon as possible.
When type checking is needed, I find the Truss library* does the trick quite well.

As for the syntax, there is very little, which can make it a harder lift but once you have the hang of it you won't deal with the issues identified in the parent comment.

non existent domains are the ones that are most likely to be somehow personal to the user, because they weren't trying to enter a domain at all but it got interpreted as one accidentally. Eg a password they meant to type into a password field but the url bar was highlighted. If they were interested in statistics regarding popular domains, like google or facebook, then it would actually be less of a privacy intrusion, because it would only end up telling you about populations, not individual users.

I don't know what they actually intended to use this data for, but its telling that they don't mention that in their proposal.
> Both were late

What was the "determined" date to have them ready? How do you know they were late? Judging by Elon's estimates?

> I wouldn't say that Falcon was built expressly for humans

You know of course that requirements for the rocket to launch people are different from the rocket to launch only cargo? There were cases when non-human-rated rocket became human rated (at least Proton), but these days it's better to plan ahead, like teams working on Arian-5 (and also Dream Chaser, not a rocket) do. I'd assume Flacon-9 developed from the beginning in such a way so at least human-rating would be possible - if not built-in already.

> It spent a decade proving itself before it flew with people. That's not a _new_ launch vehicle.

I'd agree regarding Falcon-9. Starship is another story.

Big clouds have the exact same incentive issue - if a customer is really paranoid, the customer can pay the cloud extra and ensure their own exclusive infra. For regular users, the clouds can mitigate a bit at scale (but not care much about this in practice, it's not as important as cheaper faster processors).

Because of the physics of hull speed, there is no benefit to a motor over 2hp unless you are trying to get up on a plane. Your costco dinghy is a planing boat, and is designed to take a ton of power so it can still get up on a plane with a few people aboard.

The smallest 2hp outboard is equal to about four strong men rowing constantly that never get tired... any boat under about 18 feet long will be able to do hull speed upwind in any wind that wouldn't immediately sink or flip it with just 2hp (or really, even with just 0.5hp if this existed). In a small raft that isn't planing, more than 2hp won't get you anywhere faster, under any conditions.

There is a lot of benefit to the smaller motor- it will use a lot less fuel, and can weigh under 20lbs. Especially if you go air cooled and/or 2-stroke... combine the two and it could be as light as ~10lbs. Less weight on the transom makes a small boat substantially more stable and controllable in rough seas.
Thanks for this. I'm glad people have good, evidence-based responses to my comment.

This gives us a great idea of how likely a Crimean who considers themselves Russian would actually vote between the two and that while the correlation is strong, it might not be strong enough to suggest Crimeans would favor Russia and while Crimea is still clearly, the most Russian-friendly Ukrainian state, the decision between the two is much closer than I previously thought.

Edit: to add, I have talked with a Crimean who supports Ukraine, but they say the outcome of a vote would very likely be pro-Russia, even before they started shipping Russians in and pre-occupation.

That's a huge, and rather meaningless, overreaction.

I'm sure others have their own personal anecdotes. Here's mine: I've run a number of Linux installs directly off Samsung external ssd's. Heck, I've used multiple Samsung miniature USB flash drives (so, not their fastest USB flash drives) as permanent installs (mainly for chromebooks with limited internal, non-replaceable drives) - they just extrude a tiny amount, so one can just leave them in, and treat them as permanent storage.

It just ... works. For ... years.

SanDisk sticks and ssds (especially their mini USB sticks) on the other hand, always seem to run too hot. Try a different manufacturer.

I'm a little hesitant to say the following, since I don't collect metrics, and thus it's maybe a bit unfair on Mullvad, but: sometimes the Belgian Mullvad locations can be a bit slow. I've had that feeling from time to time, and on a few occasions when switching to their Netherlands locations I get better speed. Right now for instance I get close to full theoretical speed as promised by my ISP while going through Mullvad Netherlands, and only a quarter of that speed through the Belgian locations.
How, pray tell, are people supposed to determine that certain categories/manufacturers of drives are inherently unreliable? It’s not as though most of us run dozens of them for long periods of time to evaluate their reliability.

Most of us wait for someone who does do so to spread the news. Which is what is now happening.
The folks who really really need a job are probably not the people Canonical is looking to hire.

They are being extremely deliberate with their length hiring process.

Honestly, I do find that Slack helps me focus.

I can pretty easily make sure that I ignore non-critical rooms, and only get notifications if someone @‘s me.

It would be really nice if as a user you could suppress all @here, @channel etc shouts and only enable them for a few specific rooms.

Overall Slack + 100% remote work has massively improved my focus and ability to get things done while remaining social and involved.
I disagree. One of the major critiques of Java is how verbose and full of boilerplate it is. And sure, you can hand wave that as devs being picky, but this is a real reason people avoid picking up new projects in Java. The verbosity serves no purpose, and less code is generally better.

As for there now being multiple ways to write the same thing, this seems like something that could be easily linted into consistency. So you would really only have to learn the less verbose way for any newer Java projects.

You're not going to convince the wider public to wear masks forever. They're too annoying and they curtail too much of societal activity to be feasible.

Working at a startup is not an aspiration for most. Long hours and low pay for a lotto ticket's chance at a windfall is attractive to a very niche crowd.

The vast, vast majority of jobs have godawful applications and hiring process for entirely human, rather than technical, reasons (before anyone at a startup chimes in with 'our platform makes this better!')
One of the big reasons to keep software up to date IMO.
Late comparing to what? Maybe SpaceX will not make it ready for NASA's return to the Moon flights as it was planned. However those dates don't look too serious to me - what's the justification for them? I suspect they were specified fully understanding they can easily slip right.

Over-budget - what's the planned budget? I suspect Elon Musk himself doesn't have pre-approved specific budget to develop Starship, which makes sense, as e.g. it's rather hard to pinpont. As for the overall idea for how much Starship development would cost - how do you know it's missed already or going to be missed?
I'm actually kinda surprised anyone was willing to be the other end of that transaction. Why would anyone swap your bolivar for bitcoin when you're doing it because you know the bolivar will soon be worth a lot less?
Yes, governments are thinking about the consequences of constantly inflating their money supply.

One very positive effect crypto has had is that it made this formerly poor cancer researcher with a pitiful retirement fund have hope for the future and not constantly lose his money to inflation and wages that haven't kept up with it.

> The civic engagement component is constructed using 2021 national expenditure data by household size from the 2021 Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey including: (1) Fees and admissions, (2) audio and visual equipment and services, (3) pets, and (4) toys, (5) hobbies, and playground equipment, (6) other entertainment supplies, (7) equipment, and services, (8) reading, and (9) education.

Most of that sounds like leisure to me. Their "other" category also includes:

> Expenditures for other necessities are based on 2021 data by household size from the 2021 Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey including: (1) Apparel and services, (2) Housekeeping supplies, (3) Personal care products and services, (4) Reading, and (5) Miscellaneous.

Which I suspect has a lot of unnecessary expenses baked in (if I understand correctly, they're using average spending). For my situation/location, those two categories account for 27% of the before-tax cost of living they come up with. Looking at my last 12 months of expenses, we're slightly above what they give as the cost-of-living in my area, and I feel like we're living pretty well. Certainly not at bare minimum.
It definitely emboldened criminal behavior, especially things like ransomware.
That's easily falsified, because you can trade bitcoin for good, services, and currency which is... things around it. And you can also extort bitcoin from victims. So criminals are not isolated in any way. Their transactions are less visible and trackable. But that's not a benefit. It's the very thing that's permitting them to get organized at scale, and then take on other less anonymous systems. Like topple governments, buy politicians, have their own military like in Mexico, and so on.

Not sure about that example since it’s easy to do

private val defaultValue: V
) {

// …
}

Edit: or I’m sure there’s something that does this already.
I was most intrigued by the “collect, use, and combine” language. Specifically, I didn’t see anything limiting them to combining only information they collect. So, what’s stopping them from purchasing additional data from data brokers to combine with what they collect in order to develop an even more in-depth profile of you? Nothing in the language quoted.

Thing is, there's a firehose of self-expression modes available now.

My take on this is that every population probably gets pregnant at a basically the same baseline rate, but beliefs about child rearing as a teenager cause them to plan / not plan, as well as answer / not answer in certain ways.

"...but, but, that's illegal." Jenkins huffed out in an almost whisper.

"Jenkins, take out your wallet, and place it on the table. If you speak, I'll fire you on the spot. Do it." the CEO spat.

Jenkins trembled with rage but reached his right hand deftly into the inner folds of his suit, and produced his billfold. He waved it a bit and set it in front of him.

"Good, now push the package forward, and keep silent." the CEO growled at Jenkins.

Jenkins pushed his wallet out further from himself, and with a last shove pushed the wallet beyond his fingertips. Jenkins wiggled his fingers and sat back, raising his eyebrows at his bosses boss.

"Harold!" CEO Barcliff barked. "Take the package to logistics."

"Right away, sir." Harold nodded, retrieved the package and left the room.

"What the hell Barcliff!" Jenkins exploded.

"I suggest you call the card companies, and the DMV, for replacements." Barcliff stated in a deadpan low growl.

"Screw you Barcliff, call him back. I want my wallet. That's my life in there man!" Jenkins now yell-whined.

"Connely, Mirasu, Fender, Scotts, did any of you see this wallet Jenkins is whining about?" Barcliff almost sneered.

"No sir, I observed Jenkins deliver a package to Harold to be taken to logistics." Scotts spoke out before the others could speak. Nods all around though.

"You see Jenkins, illegal is only what you can prove. You can't prove shit. Just like they can't prove shit. Now get out of here before I fire your ass. Don't forget to say hi to the wife for me." Barcliff purred.
