These laws are not made to be coherent or actually help people. They are made to curry favor with a particular base. It creates all these super strange situations where it's impossible to know what the rules will be. These nonsensical laws meant to target specific people and/or companies will be the norm going forward.

Definitely. Even on an M1 it made the page sluggish. I could feel its effect by moving the slider. When I deleted the div.glow-animation with the browser’s DevTools, it became way snappier.

If you really think the folks here do this to save a few bucks, you both 1) don't realize what the average pay of people here is, and 2) are completely tone- and context-deaf.

Given how much tuition has surged, the era of paying for college with a crappy summer job is long over. Teens can make more money anyway doing social media, video game reviews, livestreams, and such. There are many more opportunities today to make money that didn't exist 30 year ago.

The reality and likely future lies in the middle. Kiosks reduce cashiers per shift rather than replacing them completely. Many retailers only staff a single cashiered lane with many self checkouts, for example.
What is beneficial can be debated, as can how to weight the pros and cons of any action. Still, it is a good question to ask!
Chicago to NYC is actually a bit out of reach for night trains (which you should absolutely take and absolutely sleep as a baby on your berth) being 1150 km as crow flies.

There was a comfortably scheduled night Helsinki to Moscow train which covered 950km, made possible by the fact that Moscow-SPb rail line was built almost a straight line and also quite quick. The terrain between NYC and Chicago is rugged so no such path to be expected. Maybe the Chinese would be able to build a 1000 km elevated track between those two cities and make it all work, though they will prefer to make it an 5h daytime ride and not a nighttrain...

I put ‘we’ because institutions like legal systems are fundamentally collaborative, unless enacted by a total dictator.

Popper’s grandparents were Jewish and he wrote one of his major works which explores these topics, The Open Society and Its Enemies, as an urgent response to the totalitarian ideologies and atrocities of WWII. Totalitarian ideologies do not permit open, critical pursuit of the truth, and so they cannot create knowledge to solve problems in an unbounded way. Free, open societies can, where ideas can be freely exchanged and people have the freedom to criticise institutions without fear of violence. The values of an open society are the values needed for knowledge growth. And the reason we want more knowledge is to solve our problems.

I am wondering if it would have been better if I had written ‘solving problems is on balance a good thing’? Or do you think solving problems is on balance bad, or perhaps neutral?
From experience, the 20L HDPE water cubes will last years in direct sunlight.

The issue though would be the source code. Most projects at Google are developed in the monorepo and this makes it very difficult to split things out (to sell, or in some cases to open source) because the code likely links to all kinds of internal things.
Locking them up just sends them to gang and/or jihad school (the latter was blamed for problems in France a few years ago iirc).

Sending them back whence they came is the only justifiable right action after they've served their time.

> Why should I take any arguments from an author seriously when they layer their bias on?

Because they're not referring to private experiences, but the the shared world. It's kind of rich to talk about "argumentation skills" while talking your personal need of taking arguments from "an author" seriously or not. Who cares? Then don't take them seriously, takes nothing away from them.

> I clearly listed many types of code gen

"Codegen is best for augmenting your design to development process, not automating it.", "AI-based code generation (codegen", "Instead of thinking about codegen as a replacement for a developer", "codegen can speed up your handoff workflow by making suggestions"

And so on. All throughout the article you use that word to mean one thing and one thing only. Or put differently, "Why should I take the arguments of someone seriously who doesn't know even know the article they wrote?"
It would only mean that if wages were based on economic value. Which, I guess could be true if hourly wage and economic value mean the same thing.

Anyway, the restaurant & food business is complicated. Can or will McDonald's serve hard alcohol in a drive-thru? Will immigrant (illegal) labor even afford transportation to cities? If the answer is yes to both questions, then a $20 minimum wage won't matter.
This is probably the least-intelligent comment on this entire page. I would literally buy downvotes to bury this obnoxious stupidity into oblivion.

There's a significant contextual, moral and ethical difference between "exploring a lock" and "opening it and stealing whatever it's holding from you".

Heh, yea, trying to use the internal feeling of guilt as a basis is a path to complete failure in my eyes.

This overlaps with the quest for AI we have and Chinese Room arguments. We can't even argue that people have the same sense of guilt. Is guilt in some people performative for social gains? Do other people feel guilty on things that at least to me make no sense?
Thank you for sharing your feelings on this one, I hadn't heard of "graybeard" categorized that way by anyone before, though I can see your point-of-view and respect it.

That being said, if the person was an actual human being, and subsequently had a graybeard (as I do!) - would that still be offensive?

I don't intend to be combative, simply trying to learn!
Excuse me while I belly laugh at the notion that fast food workers deliver anywhere near that low of labor value in CA.
This seems like an artificially restrictive definition that necessarily excludes anything that you might actually enjoy using. Doesn't it just naturally make sense that the software you enjoy using most is the software that's designed idiomatically around the platform it runs on? If "web app" is defined to mean "software not meant for the web, but shoehorned onto it" then of course all web apps will suck.
Because Germany took different immigrants.

Sweden was one of the countries which specifically took the refugees that other countries didn't want: Somalian, Eritrean, Syrian, Afghan, etc. If you look at other countries that have taken people from these countries, the same thing has happened but at a lower level. Sweden went as far as it is possible to go, they let anyone in and gave them citizenship immediately...this is the result, that is why they have had particularly severe problems.

I will also gently point out...the recent wave of illegal immigration into Europe is coming from these countries again. Other countries are represented, some of these have their own issues but the specific issues with people from one or two of the countries above (I won't name which) are well-known and exist in every other country they have ended up (in the case of one, this has been going on since the mid-90s...the reason why no-one wanted them before is because countries have tried to take them before...and it didn't work, Sweden had very specific beliefs about integration that guided their decisions...and they turned out to be very wrong).
We don’t? I started working when I was 15 so I could buy a car when I turned 16. With a car, all kinds of opportunities open up. Like taking girls on dates, which, what do you, costs money. Luckily for me I had a source of income. Lord knows my parents couldn’t afford to just give me cash. I think about all the fun life experiences I would have missed out on along with the character building that comes along with doing a job well and earning a paycheck.

>What would you consider proof of understanding?

In the search engine/chatbot context pretty straight forward, having the capacity to automatically correct obviously illogical or non/counter factual info.

Say I do a historical search and bing or chatgpt hallucinate something that's wildly implausible or straight up makes no sense. If it could spot that on its own and say. "I'll consult some credible sources specifically to resolve that, as what I have found doesn't check out" and then comes up with something that's congruent, that'd show understanding.

Same with code. Understanding code would imply something like being able to run a code snippet through a debugger, interpret the meaning of the error message, and fixing what's broken. Right now these things give you nothing more but a stochastic guess.

This is not a philosophical argument about what it "means" to understand btw, just real limitations. Right now it is always the user who has to supplement the understanding and coax these systems into fixing any mistake they make.

I'm sorry, I should have made clear I was referring to the Adobe site :/ Which, to be fair, I didn't attempt to actually use, it's just that disabling uMatrix made the message that it doesn't work with Firefox go away, but I didn't attempt to use it further.
The source you posted has had articles written about it because one person managed to skew it alone, since it's just based on some online survey. Crime in sweden has actually been decreasing overall. Murders have been increasing lately but are also about the same as 30 years ago. The murder rate is lower than in Finland. It's the trend that is worrying. It is a serious issue, but no one benefits from sensantionalism

Not the best option for those, then. Amtrak seems to be in "excursion mode" where they would promote routes that are way too long but scenic, instead of aiming to join many mid-population proximate cities and make sure passengers regularly get there on schedule.

Long routes have their uses, but the bread and butter of any popular system should be the trains which leave in the evening and arrive the next morning. You do not lose a day and you do not have to pay for a hotel.
> Interesting how the immigration policies are the biggest contributing factor to this situation.

If you listen to the PM, yes. Another major factor (actually the biggest?) is Sweden's among European countries relatively unique hardline and boneheaded stance on recreational drugs including cannabis, which has contributed to growth and strengthening of criminal gangs who fund themselves and maintain territory by drug trade, simultaneously silently pushing otherwise law-abiding citizens into the criminal sphere, furthering the split into parallel societies. Basically the opposite of the Portugal approach. There are arguments that the law on sex work (buying sexual services is a crime; selling is not) has been having similar effect.

If you believe it was naivete behind the open immigration policy, well, you could still say the same here.
I'm pretty sure McDonald's does already make the bread they sell wrapped around half their menu items.

One of my fantasies is becoming elected president and creating a constitutional amendment against minimum wage.

It is truly one of the most egregious and inhuman concoctions of modern collectivism.

No government or king should have that kind of power over its people. You are dictating by fiat that there not be any jobs below a certain price/threshold.

You are de-facto sentencing all the people below a certain IQ, skill, competence, age, experience etc to be permanently subjugated to government handouts or destitution.

You are eliminating the concept of teenage labor and apprenticeships (almost) entirely. Why would I hire an inexperienced guy for a job if I have to pay him the same as a normal guy.

Same goes for kids, why would I hire kids? This is used to be a crucial pillar of society. Not because the evil capitalist bakery could exploit kids or because they kids need the money. Its a crucial integration point.

The idea that you completely shield kids from society until after college is a crime against humanity.

Do you have any idea how important it is to be given responsibility, work hard and enjoy the fruits of your own labour at a very young age. Even I can't fully grasp the consequences of depriving this from our kids.

This is just the beginning what about low iq people? I mean people that have IQs so low that they can't even pass the military test. Something like 5% of the population falls in this category. Should the be deprived of what ever dignity they have left and live the remainder of the lives as a federal benefactor. Same goes for a huge chunk of disabled people..

There are so many other examples I haven't even though of yet and thats exactly the problem with you collectivists. You guys think you have it all figured out and you can easily restructure the millennia old experiment of civilisation itself from the top down.
Ah you're right, I missed in the message layout that the MSBit is reserved for note number. That's kind of pointless.

And it is a bit absurd that they're so intent on doing things behind closed doors. But the spec is very comprehensive and decently polished.

It's not really "out" yet in either hardware or software. The last update made some notable changes. Allegedly Korg is releasing a line of MIDI 2 controllers soon. I think NAMM in January is going to have a lot of MIDI 2.0 demos.

In the software world, some people (Steinberg) don't even want to support MIDI in synths at all. VST3 barely supports MIDI 1, and it will not support MIDI 2.0.
The problem is that Apple really has set a new benchmark: 18 hours. It's insane getting on a 6 hour flight with 50% battery and not being worried at all.
The economics are irrelevant. I'm pointing out that replacing shitty behavior with slightly less shitty behavior is still shitty. Do you have an issue with people posting their observations on a web forum?
Other sources aren't going to differ much. Eurostat-backed data[0] shows that Sweden does poorly on many categories of crime, compared to Europe as a whole and especially compared to its neighbors.

Taco Bell vs taqueria does make sense, IMO. Smaller businesses have less economy of scale, and thus less ability to pay higher wages. Taco Bell, in contrast, has vastly larger scale, and thus the ability to pay workers more. Plus, it gives smaller, local businesses a potential leg up, fostering competition.

The bread thing definitely reeks of corruption.
This is how music and dance schools charge clients (at least here) - pre-pay based on the number of lessons you will attend this month. What I'm looking for is a way to automate it so we don't need to manually charge everyone's cards individually (and manually) each month.
>"Export formats: PDF, SVG, pixmap, BOM, pick&place, Gerber/Excellon". None of which have enough info for import into another EDA program. This thing is very self-contained, which is unusual for an open source program.

The limitation here is that only KiCad has an open format for design files to begin with. Maybe we should be agitating for a better open-standard for schematic capture? I'd love to be able to output a schematic from e.g. a spice simulation, then import that into my ECAD suite. The netlist (which is part of the Gerber output) is human-readable, so I suppose its possible to extract the schematic from that. But then, it'll be computationally expensive to arrange that information in an easy-to-read format.

Rhetorical means you know the answer, so let's avoid the inevitably emotional debate and just tell us the answer!
How are they supposed to become adults with experience, if they can't get jobs as teens?

I worked a ton of jobs as a teenager, and started a few small businesses. I was highly motivated to prove myself against adults with the attitude you have, so I was working twice as hard and was making half the mistakes of my adult co-workers.

I learned so much working as a teenager, and it was a really enjoyable experience to feel useful, and to have my own disposable income. Without it, my mental health would have been much worse.
Also - Sweden has passed the threshold with immigrants in selected political positions (it's a really small country) so selected officials nowadays blocks anything conservative regarding nationality. Nobody wins.
Does Haskel support broadcast things without libraries/extensions?

That you can abstract broadcasting operations seems a silly argument. Of course you can write a program that will do the same things in both. But in neither Haskel nor Python is `[1, 2, 3] * 4` a valid statement without a lot of work. (Well, to be fair, it is valid in Python, but not in the expected sense for what we are discussing here...)
Bing Chat is just terrible. It tries to merge neutered ChatGPT with promoted web content. It’s really too bad as Microsoft had an opportunity here to leverage this into something great. Instead they are like how can we control the output.. simplify the responses and make money pushing people to certain sites and services.
They are achieved, but not in an equally immersive way. If you believe "more immersive = better" for those situations, then this is an improvement. I'm inclined to believe most (non-HN) people would take that position.
Aside from that not being how labor economics work: no, it reduces the business model of profiting off public and NPO social assistance programs that enable corporations to employ people at starvation wages.

If a business model relies upon paying people wages so low they can't afford to live without government assistance, then that business model is government subsidized.

The best example of this would be Walmart, who rake in massive profits year after year while having employees whose sole duty is to help employees with finding and filing for public assistance programs, which the employees need because they're paid so little.

No person in the US working a full-time job should be paid so little that they cannot afford at a minimum the essentials for living a healthy and happy life (ie, not just food/shelter but for things like enough to be able to do something in celebration of life's events, raise a child if they wish, put money away for when they are at retirement, etc.)

Among other things, this would substantially free up money and administration resources to provide for those who are not working and need help getting their life back together enough to be employable again.
