It's even worse than that - $44,356 is the median salary for high school graduates aged 25 or over with a full-time job (it's extrapolated from the median weekly wage of $853) in 2022:

It's unclear exactly what qualifications apply to "a third of students earn less than $40,000" - I was not able locate an actual source for this claim - but the way it's written, it appears to include everyone, possibly even those that are not in the workforce at all. Also, given a huge increase in nominal income over the past couple years, it's difficult to evaluate this claim without a clear sense of what time frame this covers.

It's also unreasonable to compare college graduates 4 years after graduation to a cohort that includes mid-career professionals decades into their career. Consider for instance, how much doctors tend to make 4 years after graduating from college and how unrepresentative that would be of their full career earning potential.

Here is a compilation of recordings of the moment the second tower was hit - by which time both news cameras and amateur cameras were focused on the towers.

So much of the world as we know it now can be traced back to this day, and perhaps this moment above any others - the moment we gained an innate knowledge that something sinister was going on, a deep feeling of fear, anger, and vulnerability awakening in the American populace with an immediacy that had perhaps never been felt in the country's history.

I vividly recall being a middle school student, seeing friends being pulled out of the classroom one by one, knowing that something horrifying was happening, not knowing details, not knowing whether I would be next, eventually understanding with dawning horror that some of my classmates had family members who would never come home. An entire generation felt this pain.

It's really important that projects and video archives like the OP exist so people understand not just the statistics, but the fundamental shift of people's worldviews that happened that day.
I remember quite a few people annoyed that we weren't getting some more famous speakers, but I grew up listening to Car Talk and I was over the moon.
Sure, there's a lot of nuance in any sort of multi-variable economic question. That's not the point, the person I was replying to said renting is cheaper than buying, that hasn't been true for over a decade pre-pandemic. The primary reasons why this weren't true were low interest rates and a gradual recovery in housing prices after the correction 2008. 2020 changed both of these things, and so they are correct /now/, but /most/ people who own a home didn't buy in it the last 2 years, so their advice against buying a house on the basis of it being more expensive than rent is mute.

As a simple example, my fully-laden (mortgage + insurance + tax) cost on a 2600 sqft 4br/3.5ba house on a 1/2 acre lot in a nice suburb in San Antonio purchased in 2012 was around $1400/mo compared to this being the typical rent for a 1br apartment pre-2020 in San Antonio anywhere that wasn't in the ghetto. That was largely thanks to having a 2.4% interest mortgage and being able to buy in 2012 in the dip for property values. The same property that was purchased for $162k in 2012 sold for $340k in 2022, and the mortgage rate for the new buyer was around 6.5%, doubling both price and interest rate greatly changes the equation, but let's not act as if that hasn't been a relatively recent (pandemic-tied) shift.

The issue in question affects paid users who don't see ads anyway so the $1K/day is certainly not a loss of ads revenue. Support cost? Unlikely. Refunds? Maybe but unlikely. Clickbait hyperbole? More plausible.

> removing visible tools with 3-dot menus in the name of "cleaner" or "more intuitive" user interface

It just came to me what this truly means: professional designers tasked with designing aesthetics of man-machine interfaces inherently develops allergic fear response through overexposure to user interface elements such as buttons and scrollbars. It is annoying and too obvious to them that EACH and every BUTTONS and SCROLLBARS tell them ALL the TIME on screen CONSTANTLY what COULD be DONE but are NOT being DONE, at some point enough is enough, to them personally, so they must remove all.

I wonder at what point the UI trends would return to necessary amounts of skeuomorphism required for average users, not designers - apparently the web link paradigm is just too difficult for older and/or less experienced users, so sooner or later it'll start showing on data no one can get around.
It's true that the only solution is to change the law.

> Unless they are operating outside of the law, I don't fault "Big Tobacco" or any "Big Business" for, you know, operating a business.

Why this casual dismissal? Operating a business. Are those the magic no-harm-done-here words? I'm not even saying that being “mad” about it would have any effect. But I still will argue for my right to be mad...

Businesses can also lobby the government to keep or change laws. Is that also to be with dismissed with the same attitude? Like, oh Big Tobacco lobbied against your candidate that would enact some kind of law that would put a wedge in their business plan? Well—you know—they're just operating a business. Lobbying is an investment, and clearly they made a calculation that said that lobbying would make them more money.
When doing a cost comparison of rent vs buy, don't count the principal payments. The interest payments, maintenance costs, and property tax are just as much money down the drain as rent is.

What has made owning a house vastly worth it over the past couple of decades is severe under-construction of new housing which has led to prices spiraling upward and creating a gold mine for homeowners. Will that continue? Probably yes. But consider the risk that it doesn't.

One of my favorite books is “Kindly Inquisitors” by Jonathan Rauch. Highly recommended. Among its core messages is that accusations of bias are often used to stop discourse. The strongest response against a factual claim is that it’s wrong. Not that it’s racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, etc.

“If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”

This. If you went back to 1972 when Dennis Ritchie was working on C and said "String literals should have an extra machine word for their length and strings should have yet another machine word for the capacity of their buffer" you'd be considered a moron for wasting so much memory.
The quality that disgusts me the most about society is mass apathy. It's so incredibly upsetting that the majority agree that our current systems aren't working and will only get worse with time, but most people just ... accept this?

Now, I'm no different than most people. I am extremely apathetic about our situation as well. However, it's still soul sucking to realize I'm contributing to the path we're on while feeling like there is nothing I can do.

Feels bad :/

>Working 20-30 hours a week in whatever industry it takes to make an extra $40k-$50k/yr to get by doesn't sound so bad.

I guess I question what these part-time, low stress jobs that pay median US annual wages are. They're presumably not driving for Uber or working in retail over the holidays.

If someone already has some sort of consulting/freelancing business, you can probably dial things back a bit. But it doesn't seem straightforward in general.

I do agree in general that deciding to step away from a full-time professional job --especially later career--is something you can't necessarily undo.

How in the hell can a corporation claim that it has free speech?

While we're at it, maybe we should also find corporations liable for damages done on the communities they serve, with the chief executives being the proxy humans for those damages, including murder (ahem chemical, oil companies)? That would be highly satisfactory.

Thanks for sharing. I don't know if these predictions will pan out or not but it would make me very happy if inference becomes more accessible and does not stay in the (current) divide of haves and have-nots in terms of hardware and paywalls. The possibility of inference on crappy hardware would open up a lot more possibilities, many of which we haven't dreamed of yet.
> Umm, the bill of rights is a set of restrictions on the _federal_ government. The last one is explicitly a statement that the states can do a lot of things that the federal government _can't_.

Taken literally, yes. But legally, many (but not all) for the rights have been 'incorporated' to apply to the states. This includes First Amendment.

Yes, but if you're not being pedantic for the sake of scoring points, all the aforementioned things are capable of causing significant harm if mishandled, so it's still quite relevant.
And you proved my point perfectly. I asked dang about this years ago. I said it would be super easy to game by just creating 10 times as much fluff.
I was working in the airline industry when this happened.

My girlfriend (now wife) and I had just started on the way into work, we signaled each other over to the side of the road, and talked for a few moments... and I headed in to work.

I was in shock for weeks. I was ontop of the towers but 2 months before that, and possibly one of the best pictures of the two of us was taken there.

... I've been there. I know that place. I have roots in that city.

But I wasn't surprised as many Americans were. I knew this was very possible, though most of the scenarios I'd heard were far more grizzly than what happened. (Involving nuclear material and small planes.)

I always thought the Iraq war was a pile of shit, as were most of the actions taken quickly after that day.

Taking off our shoes, and the TSA are an awful legacy of an awful day. The terrorists did win. They encouraged us to give away our freedoms for safety theater.

So we did.

This site is proof... they won.
Your first point is something I mentioned in my comment (although admittedly I mixed the order of the command). In general it's a bad idea to import everything from a module into the global namespace; it's recommended to keep it under some namespace for context:

I.e., assuming my_module has function foo, instead of:

from my_module import *

foo()

Use this:

import my_module

my_module.foo()

Or this:

import my_module as mm

mm.foo()

There are pretty clear benefits to some advertising.

Email, YouTube, calendar, maps are all incredibly useful services we are lucky to have.

There needs to be a line or safeguard as well as an option to pay a reasonable price for these free services to keep your data safe. YouTube is unfairly overpriced for the ad free option as are most of these free services.
Right there’s nothing preventing introverts from being among the most sociable people. Obama is considered an introvert and so is Gandhi. Both were able to build enormous energy and lead others through their personalities and speech.

I don’t however think it needs to be a goal that leads to being good at small talk. That really comes from agreeableness which is high among some introverts but absent in others. It’s another big 5 personality trait. The idea that small talk is a means to an end is needed if the person is lower on agreeableness and is more critical.
Wasn't the entire point of the Matt Taibbi "Twitter files" attempt at a news story to expose exactly this, except slanted to make it look like a big liberal conspiracy rather than the good faith operation of a social media platform?

Musk made big loud statements about free speech, etc. and then ended up arriving back at the status quo. Turns out there never was a problem to begin with, and you actually need the TOS (you know, the reason Babylon Bee, Jordan Peterson, and Trump were correctly banned) because a toxic platform drives away users and advertisers.
The motivation wasn’t inclusivity, it was the idea of “less valuable” humans being more dispensable.
I was a junior. I went to a boarding school and one of those weird memories that sticks with you is that I was unsure whether or not to go to my classes. No cell phones and pretty primitive email system, so it just wasn't clear. I went to one at like 9:30 (central time) and nobody was there, so that was when I realized "oh this is one of those nothing-is-normal-now things".
If you want more working class people to have kids, you need to give them room to breathe financially.

> the bill of rights is a set of restrictions on the _federal_ government

The First Amendment as it is literally worded is, since it specifically says "Congress shall make no law...". But the rest of the amendments have no such restriction; they just say certain things shall not be done, period. Given the Supremacy Clause, that means those provisions should apply to all levels of government, not just federal. (Granted, the courts originally did not interpret them that way, but IMO they should have.)

That said, current jurisprudence, regardless of the literal wording of the bill of rights, is that they apply to the States, even the First Amendment. IIRC most Supreme Court decisions along these lines have cited the Fourteenth Amendment.

I was laid off at the time so I watched this happen live on TV. Later I delivered meals-on-wheels while listening on the radio and discussing with all the folks I was taking meals to that day. So surreal. I remember thinking it was a terrible accident until the other tower was hit, then total disbelief that they fell.

Then a month later I went to work in a quarter-scale (I think) replica of one of the twin towers (BOK Tower, Tulsa, OK) and one of our clients was almost completely wiped out on 9/11. The few remaining employees were trying to rebuild the company and we were trying to help them by hosting the little thing we had sold them. All of their backups were also in the tower. Really sad.
It sounds like extra regulation, and thus a large spread out cost for society, for something that hasn't seemed like a real problem. I worry that this would stifle innovation in development of products by small companies and individual developers to meet regulatory burdens to get govt stamps of approval, while giving an advantage to large companies that can handle regulatory burdens.

IoT is an experimental field that is dominated by people fiddling in their garage.

If harm comes from their use, that is where tort law comes into play, and that doesn't seem to something that is a common occurrence except in the fantasy of doomsayers talking about ovens that are weaponized - all without thinking about companies that make ovens and how this would already be their primary concern.

How is that relevant to the fact that the manufacturer has discontinued it?

Retailers can sell products they have in stock even if they are no longer manufactured.

Looking at the instruction manual it's clear that both the 'Express' and 'Speed60' modes are skipping some steps of the cleaning process as it says:

Normal

Recommended for daily, regular or typical
use to completely wash a full load of
normally soiled dishes.

Speed60®

Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to
remove soils.
This cycle reduces cycle time while still
including drying.

Express

Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces
overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean
glasses and dessert dishware that may
need to be reused at the same event.

I have no idea what inference means but I hope it happens - and perhaps it will happen. That being said - things like Sun (i.e. solaris workstations) or Intel (for desktop or recently in the last 10ish years, servers) had the world under their thumb for 10+ years. Thus Nvidia might have quite a good reign ahead of themselves - even if it will eventually fade, like everyone else.
The main weakness, in terms of use, is that you're lugging around a laptop with a dongle sticking out of it... which could break. The CPU and I/O over USB speed of modern laptops is amazing.

The main technical weakness is that $30 RTLSDR dongles only have 8 Bit ADCs, but then you're down-sampling the heck out of things, so that really doesn't matter, either.
