This is why—despite what your econ 101 models might lead you to believe—modern, data-driven economic research suggests that increases in the minimum wage almost always lead to increased GDP. Worth noting that there's also many other effects that may contribute to this observed impact[2]

Why is the _BBC_ using the corporation as a source for a headline number like this? Are they now just corporate mouthpieces like the US media? This number is surely inflated (including potential benefits not everyone will use like IVF, disability, etc). Very poor showing BBC.
Could you explain the use cases for you company? How do you use their data?
Journalistic hyperbole.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you.

Announcing the removal of a feature such as this a mere 30 days ahead is not how we like to conduct our business in the general case. I expect those of our customers who relied on this feature to be disappointed by its removal as well as the manner in which it was done.

Nevertheless it was the right thing to do. The manner and extent in which it came to be abused in recent months made it unacceptable for us to continue providing it. This feature should have been removed a long time ago, with a longer grace period. It wasn't - a mistake on our part - and some of our users suffered for it, including you. For this I am sorry.

Affected customers can get their money back for any prepaid service they can not use, of course.

If you used port forwarding to (I) make a service reachable (II) from the open Internet there are plenty of good hosting providers which will happily take your business.

If you used port forwarding to (III) stay anonymous while (I) making a service reachable we can highly recommend Tor's "onion service" feature. It was built with that use case in mind.

If you used port forwarding to (III) stay anonymous while (I) making a service reachable (II) from the open Internet, there are no good options that we can recommend.

Port forwarding needed to be removed on moral grounds. It needed to be removed because it was causing too much of a disturbance to our core mission of making mass surveillance and censorship ineffective.

I hope my explanation has - if not allayed your disappointment - at least provided some clarity.

Best regards,

Will stay up forever :-)

The usecase is basically quick & bullshit-free sharing of text stuff/links/notes, also realtime, lockable & with fixed url.

Personally, I use it to have my own public scratchboard, to share links w friends.
If it serves like a content warning then sure but it's dubious, a lot of outright junk appears here without anything like that-- that's what discussion threads are for:)

and about avoiding negative feedback, well I'm 36 and I don't have a degree... What can I do to avoid harsh criticism? I clearly can't use my age right? (right now I try to ignore it if it's not constructive or try to not become depressed and use it if it is, but overall I don't think this industry is so harsh criticism wise)

This is a young person who’s new to the community. That’s where communities come from!

Without other comment, this meta thread is pushing the author’s personal statement below the fold. As the grown-ass adults in the room, we can have our judgments, but we should try to make a little space, too.
Would be wonderful if something similar exists for iPhone. There seems to be a few apps that are trying to make something in that direction but aren't as polished/nice to use as Street Complete.
nobody's forcing anyone to do anything. It's just the free market, right?
I think kids tend to do it in traditionally adult spaces just as a buffer from the extreme criticism that can exist online. Saying, "someone wrote a cpu guide" has a lot less impact than saying "a teenage girl wrote a cpu guide". I don't think the individual behind the content is all that important and we have to recognize that we only ever see the kids that tell us they're kids, i could be an 8 year old prodigy for all anyone knows.

Praise is nice, especially when you're young. Stating your young has to dramatically increase praise to criticism ratio in adult spaces like this. No one would care on reddit but we're all old men here lol so the kids stand out. It can be overdone if the person makes the content about themselves instead of the content, or intentionally starts controversy. But this is fine.

Since she states she won a hackathon she's probably a very gifted and motivated young person who is still surrounded with adults telling her she's great, that doesn't mean they're wrong. And sooner or later the adults begin drastically raising the bar for praising you so it's cool for her to get her last couple years out of it.
Not many but two wrongs don't make a right.
I'd work my butt off too if I was effectively earning $10k or $100k/hour or whatever. But plenty of the 'owner' class don't, even then, unless working on your golf swing counts as work.
Or write an operating system. I remember, a long time ago, starting to work through a book (Operating System Concepts) and covering a lot of similar topics. So this reminded me about it. Although I only remembered the dinosaurs on the cover and had to look up the name.

Maybe… I mean yes at the bottom most package system are a zip with some kind of manifest or a manifest which describes where and how the lib can be build from which sources. If an AI could deal with the fine details of these systems… I mean Debian packages are harder than Arch packages, or at least that is my experience. There packages which are super easy to work with like native python, ruby and Java. But mix it with c extensions and boom. The CI can get complicated.
What do you mean "rule of thumb"? That's just an old meme making fun of how most Internet users were male. It's not about how you shouldn't mention gender.

If gender is never mentioned, maleness is assumed all the time, and then male users will not realize the abilities of their female peers.
Thank you! Looks hardware-y and very interesting, I may well read through it at some point.
You get Eich 'proclaimed evil' from the section title "The Hateful Browser"? If I hate smoking and contribute to anti-smoking campaigns, am I also evil? FDR hated war - did that make him evil? I know someone who hates her birth father and does not associate with him.

You see where I'm going right? Just because someone feels hatred doesn't mean that the person who hates is evil. Nor that the browser is evil.

The disbelieving "okay Brendan" occurs after giving a direct rebuttal to Eich's second point.

It highlights how the argument "the donation does not in itself constitute evidence of animosity" is incomplete, because the action does not stop at the donation.

Eich knows this, hence using the phrase "in itself" to, as you write, '[tell] you the appropriate lense through which to view the entirety of the content'.

As Davenport (correctly, IMO) characterizes it: "he silently donated to causes seeking to strip rights from minority groups instead of directly harassing them".

Or, as Lehrer characterizes the von Braun defense: "Once the rockets are up / Who cares where they come down? / That's not my department".

Again, how would answer the question "Why was appointing Eich as CEO [of Mozilla Corporation] so controversial?"
Every reply a different person, who may have or may not have the authority to use the bathroom.

You could demand them to delete the account by withdrawing your consent for data retention. They need to have a legal justification to keep it in that case. Would be interesting how they react.

By GDPR you can also demand them answering with whom the data is shared and how long it will be kept. Their "until suspension is resolved" is not enough here.

You can also set an ultimatum that if they don't resolve this issue within the timeframe of a month, you will include the data protection agency in this case. Sometimes support might suddenly get better within a few minutes.
On the other hand it is very positive because it inspires others in whatever “I am X” situation to get involved. It’s not uncommon for other fields like sports etc to have similar influence: “someone else like me is doing this so I can do it too!”
Do they need telemetry to know this? I could ask around, but I don't think anyone exists who doesn't game and also watch video on the same system.

Should Creative also track my listening habits, to determine whether soundcard development resources need pooled into system sounds or MP3 decoding? Wouldn't that be a tad silly of them?

It seems a bit post-facto to me.
The best response, for us all collectively, is to always ignore everyone's opinion online. There is zero value in anything on reddit, twitter, facebook, the media these days.

Just ignore it. All of it. Outrage or not.

I see downvotes, but I mean it. You know who you listen to? Your friends. Your neighbours. Your local community. You listen to PEOPLE, not sockpuppets. You listen to legitimate human beings, not AI generated blather, or curated news stories, or groups working together to generate hate, outrage, to stoke anger, upset.

You listen to actual, real PEOPLE.

You want to go to reddit? Twitter? Anything? Fine. But treat it as 100% fiction, pure entertainment, and never let it affect YOU.
One to one authentication is a middleman.
I don't mind. I will form some opinion after I see the work, and yes, my standards will be different depending on the life circumstances of the OP, especially when it comes to some disability which makes the work more difficult, like being blind. In such a case, mentioning it could be encouraging to other people facing similar hurdles.
> Would be interesting how they react.

They'll ignore you and not even bother responding at their DPO contact email. They're banking on the uselessness of regulators and non-enforcement of the GDPR and it's working well.
I put a recent bash everywhere I need to work. Not everyone can, though.
Interesting idea! The pull request authors are shown out of the box but we hadn't thought of using git to find the user for each resource on the main branch. Most organizations end-up tagging the resources with some sort of owner or team so they can group the costs using that and track it per team/service/product over time. That's often how FinOps teams start to create a sense of ownership for cloud costs amongst teams.
Why, with charging standards? It's not like we needed ford gas stations, Honda gas stations etc. For Tesla it made sense since they were the first movers, but I think everyone else will just rely on the infra provided by 3 or 4 big players
How many body parts can be scanned for a unique fingerprint? I can see at least another five or six coins out of this idea, some pretty shocking :-)
It absolutely would if you remove the cut HFTs take out of the market. I'm sure you'll make some argument about liquidity and spreads but, in the aggregate, the money from higher spreads goes to market participants so the market as a whole still saves by eliminating HFTs, even if the spreads go up a bit.
Detecting the objects is the hard part. The planet killers are all likely to be highly elliptical objects with large orbital periods (on the order of thousands of years). With that kind of orbital period, we'd be lucky to see it before it has impacted.

Is it just me or does Worldcoin just seem like a massive ploy to get one's hands on a ton of biometric data? Scan your eyes and get $20 in funny money that may or may not be redeemable later.

I wish I was taught these things in my basic degree. Thank you for the writeup
I email short notes to myself.

As notes are not a collections of facts but interlinkages of ideas I then take time to sit and put them together with a keyboard then save in a directory tree.

I email myself an encrypted .tar.gz of the directory tree at the end of the day.

Because the latter is not a thing. The United States does not implement any border firewalls on traffic entering the country. No law compels blocking Cuban citizens from accessing US hosted content, just preventing them from entering into financial transactions.

The studies you link to only consider effects of raising the federal minimum wage. While their conclusions may be valid, minimum wage workers only constitute a tiny fraction (~1%) of the labor market. It is unclear how well the studies' conclusions would extrapolate beyond minimum wage workers.
Too much work. And prime real estate on Venus is dirt cheap, if you're smart enough to get in before the big rush.
Copyright issues aside.

My personal opinion is that these tools are mostly useful to suck the "soul" out of a book. They give you templates and stuff and useful statistics to help you go to the lowest common denominator.

The problem is more visible in the movie industry, where they have had script templates for a hundred years now (actual time interval pulled out of a*), but it's starting to show up in books too.

For those happy to "consume" Netflix series and Marvel movies that are indistinguishable from each other except maybe filmed with different actors, it should be fine.

If you want originality in your entertainment it's sad news.
In that case, we better keep scaring off newbies from coding
I would say the most important factor for me would be to implement COVID-19 mitigations, but I also enjoy wfh now.

Three reasons.

(1) I can afford it.

(2) The increase in price and latency will probably result in my ordering less stuff.

(3) I doubt that any company is going to allocate a substantial portion of their profits without raising prices. If it’s between raising prices, which I can afford, and people who do difficult jobs I depend on not having an easier, fairer life, then I’ll choose the raised prices.
I’m not seeing that simplicity or low-engineering overhead from reading about PLAN, personally, I’m seeing a computer scientist’s wet dream about composability and resilience, but not anything that would promote rapid development or reduced costs. In fact I think the opposite is true - this is such a reinvention that everything is likely to take subject matter experts and a lot of time.

P2P chat doesn’t seem like a very lofty goal at this point.

I’m sure there’s a lot more to your platform than PLAN, providing all sorts of facilities, but at that point you’ve kinda scuppered the “execute anywhere, forever” aspect of your model IMHO, because it relies on quite a complex VM to provide the simple coding environment.

Best of luck to you, but I’m still thinking “nerd trap” rather than “revolutionary tech”.
One major reason that Debian chose dash is plainly written on the bash manual page:

$ man bash | sed -n '/BUGS/,/^$/p'
BUGS
It's too big and too slow.

Another major reason is adherence to the POSIX standard; bash was written a decade prior to standardization, and has interesting issues because of this.

Mainstream media is not blameless in the least. Pushing psychological buttons to create addiction to what is very little else than entertainment and biased opinion. Rarely if ever are there references to sources. Instead there are interpretations and nth hand accounts that you are expected to accept as is. It's there plain for everyone to see, yet rarely is it taken seriously for what it is, propaganda.
How the hell was this unanticipated? You think ramming things into asteroids is not going to create any debris? I thought NASA was full of smart people.
The best resource I've found so far that helped me understand how computers / CPUs work, is Ben Eater's work. Both his 6502 computer, and 8-bit CPU series are amazing.

Looking forward to reading your guide. Thanks for sharing!
The problem with this plan is that most asteroids aren’t a giant chunk of rock, they are a collection of small rocks tenuously held together by feeble gravity, with maybe a few larger chunks inside that could be a danger to the planet.
This makes sense and is a really cool application of the technology.
Awesome, yeah we’ve seen people using this method and the main complaint we’ve heard is this is annoying for developers since it blocks their deployments when they run `terraform apply`, so they need to create new pull requests and wait for another code review. Combining both can definitely help with this.
> Never heard of it. Perhaps not in the entire europe?

Never heard of Whatsapp? Try removing the comments where you talk about it then.
I’m certainly wondering when this fad of high-level languages like C goes away.

Well, it was actually Visual Basic 3.0!
There is still a simple solution to the "SPAC problem" - don't let them list.

A SPAC is effectively (and I'm simplifying here for brevity) like a Private Equity fund. However, those are limited to accredited investors, and the general public can't buy into them.

SPACs could (should?) be limited in the same form. By prohibiting them from listing, it's the smallest regulatory change that solves the issue of unknowing investors buying something speculative without knowing it's true risks.
This just moves the puck. No chance in hell this technology is not abused.
> Roughly 25 million people in the U.S. and over 17 million people in Europe have long COVID symptoms, with many more in other parts of the world.

That's a very large number. WRT FOXP4, is there any particular group of people who are more genetically predisposed to having the mutation than others?

You do realize there are many places in the world where WhatsApp is the defacto standard tool to communicate correct?

This is fantastic. Great job! I like the easier to comprehend language than what you typically find when reading information about this stuff (wikipedia is one of the worst...).

You'd probably like Nand2Tetris. To be frank, I never finished it (it's so long!), but building a CPU from scratch was insightful (at the time - I don't remember much now, sadly).
You are confusing being a user of scientifically-derived knowledge with being a practitioner of scientific principles. The former is just another belief system without the latter.
OP, don't excuse your work by prefixing it with your age. Your write-up is better than most people will ever do. Nice work!
At home, the benefits are extreme. Full office, private bath, private bed, private kitchen, garaged parking, asset security, and a 30 second commute. The next wave of office workers will want it better than this, or it simply won't work.
I don't support racism, sexism, ageism etc. Therefore I would prefer it if people didn't try to use those attributes to draw attention.

Am I the only one with a twang of dread and anxiety... being transported back to a summer weekday in the 1990s. I was maybe 8 years old, learning how to use a screwdriver to take things apart. I opened my C64, wiggled one of these ICs out, breaking the pins in the process. Oh... having to explain this to my parents. They were not happy. I'm pretty sure that was the end of my GEOS days.
What sort of abuses you have encountered when dealing with port forwarding? Was it DMCA'd content hosting or were there other major issues with it? Also how does other VPNs that offer port forwarding (like Proton) function against those sort of abuses?

Nah, I'm not going back to your stupid building to talk about sports in the break room while microwaving Tupperwared leftover chicken breast lol.

Gas + commute time + increased likelihood to eat out (leftover chicken breast) = more money out of my pocket.

And I could stretch even further with the endless banter, getting yelled at for not understanding things the first time (I'm not an auditory listener), disrespected for how I look, more reasons to waste money on therapy. Obviously that's personal, but you couldn't pay me more to go back to the cattle stall we call an office...

Correct, photos are not adequate when trying to identify a mushroom yourself for the first time (when intending consumption). You need to do things such as spore-prints [1]. It is also strongly advised to go out into the field with those who are already experienced and have them teach you to identify, and not to be "self-taught".

Your local mycological society would be more than happy to educate you.

Indeed. It starts from first principles, assuming the reader doesn't know anything about computers or even electronics. The final chapters are about coding.

Your guide could actually serve as an addendum to the book. Based on the title of your guide, I was expecting something more like Code, but now having read your guide, it's more of an introduction to operating systems with a particular focus on Linux and the CPU/memory aspects. Well done.
In Belgium average tech job salary is 36K to 87K EUR/year (from this source [1], it's just one source but it's just to back up my experience, also it really leans much more to the 36K, 87K sounds like too much), before taxes

It's mind boggling how much higher salaries in the US are.
