In many cases, the poor have created that situation themselves. In fact that's the reason they are poor: the income may actually be decent, but spending is uncontrolled.

Many well-off people care about these things. They cook for themselves to save money, they monitor their electricity usage, buy reliable second hand cars, look at the diaper prices and wear warm clothes instead of overheating the space. Some of them do it even if they don't have to, making it a waste of their valuable time, but for those with low middle-class income, it is the difference between a rather good standard of living and poverty.

In fact, if you are really good at "dealing with your situation", chances are that you won't stay poor for long. Not only you will make the best of whatever income you have, but it is also a highly sought after skill, and you may up with a well paying job or a profitable business.

But it is usually a learned skill, and other poor people are unlikely to teach you, because they failed at it themselves, it is a vicious circle.

The recent World Happiness Report[0] concluded:

> In many but not all regions, the young are happier than the old. But in North America happiness has fallen so sharply for the young that they are now less happy than the old. By contrast, in the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the young are much happier than the old. In Western Europe as a whole happiness is similar at all ages, while elsewhere it tends to decline over the life cycle (with an occasional upturn for the old).

I think social media is a red herring. For whatever reason, young people in America are unhappy and instead if dealing with hard problems we think "let's just take social media away, that will fix it". Does Finland not have social media? Why are young people in Finland happier than they are in America?

I predict this trend will continue, we will take social media away from kids and they will still be unhappy as they look for things to do in their small apartment while mom and dad look at their cell phones.

There's something very different with software I think. For example, if a mechanism calls for a class 10.9 bolt with a certain diameter and thread pitch (let's say M6x1 for the sake of argument) then there are many different manufacturers who can supply equally suitable parts. They may each be dimensionally different, have different yield strengths, but they're all conforming to class 10.9 and dimensionally within tolerance. As the designer of the mechanical assembly I can trust the manufacturer of the bolts has a quality control procedure that'll make sure their bolts are good.

As a software assembly designer, I don't really have any way to say "this subcomponent remains intact" when I integrate it into my system. The compiler will chew things up and rearrange them at link time. This is a good thing! It makes the resulting binary go brr real good. But it's ultimately my responsibility to make sure the thing I ship--the compiled artifact--is correct. It's not really a valid move to blame one of my dependencies. I was supposed to review those dependencies and make sure they work in the context of the thing I shipped. Wouldn't it be a bit like the mechanical assembly designer blaming the bolt manufacturer for a failure of a bolt they modified while building the assembly (EDIT: or blaming the supplier when the assembler used the bolt in a way it wasn't designed for)? What guarantees can the bolt manufacturer reasonably give in that case?

EDIT: another thing is that source code isn't really analogous to a mechanical component. It's more like the design specification or blueprint for... something that converts electrical potential into heat and also does other stuff.
"And the receiving antenna does not have any 'gain' other than physically getting bigger or smaller..."

Well, it depends on one's definition of gain! If you were to say to the designers of the ELT (the Extremely Large Telescope) that it had no gain over isotropic then they'd fall about laughing (remember, its method of operation also relies on collecting and concentrating incoming EM radiation as do RF antennae). An antenna's effective gathering aperture and directivity for both RX and TX is just about everything, and the coupling efficiency from the antenna to the feeder and RX/detector, and vice versa for the TX just about covers the rest.

"...though the transmitting antenna can have gain depending on shape and size."

Uh? How? What's the difference? Physics says the law of reciprocity applies, a good transmitting antenna also makes just as good a receiving antenna. The only proviso being that a transmitting antenna has to be designed to withstand high RF power levels (even then, this only applies to TX power levels where I²R losses can cause enough heating to damage the antenna and feed lines, similarly, high power TX levels can lead to very high voltages which can arc over; TX antennae are designed to handle this.)

I used to work with microwave transmitters and receivers and my microwave dishes and other types of antennae were directly interchangeable—in fact, they were identical.

Re the Path Loss Equation, it works in the practical sense and is used everywhere. Fighting over technicalities here is akin to arguing the difference between laws of motion under Newton and when they're subject to the rules of Einstein's Relativity. It's damn obvious when one's applicable and the other is not.

for what i have seen in the demo it looks very very good. And I agree with a teak here and there this sw can be adopted by a range of trading houses of any kind of commodity, including the big ones with refineries. The difficulty in building systems like these, even if AI driven, is the myriad of business rules and the different specifics of each commodity trading.
Businesses don't raise prices to "keep margins the same", they raise prices to maximize profit, adding a transaction fee generally has unpredictable effects on price, including possibly lowering your optimum price. I bet this rarely happens in practice, but the theoretical situation is not particularly simple.
I tried the open source one that Spotify published a while ago on jazz trio music (just piano, double bass and drums) but it was pretty useless. My experiments with the trials of some commercial services, where you select an instrument and it extracts just that were much better.

If the piano is a Rhodes then extracting electric guitar works well, extracting a piano not at all.
Nice topic to build a project but there's one immediate issue I see with the implementation- The books. It attempts at trying to "facilitate" or "drive away" your current mood by recommending books. Most people can't read books because they have an attention problem. Also imagine someone who does read them, and decide to pick up a book reminiscing about the youth just because he felt nostalgic at a particular moment in their life. What's next? How's he to find the drive to actually finish what he starts? If someone's emotionally pretty turbulent, what happens if he keeps starting new books and can't finish any, leading to feel a certain dread when coming back to the reading table because of all the unfinished quotas he has. This kind of feature will go well with someone more like Blinkist or Deepstash in my opinion with overall summary and immediate conclusion available. Then if the user likes the content at a glance, that would be the fuel they need to actually complete a book after they pick it up. Still, a cool project. I do read a lot and I'd probably pick some book recommendations as well.
MasterCard and Visa do not directly offer any fraud protection, at least not in the 1-3% fee. The cost of fraud and prevention of fraud is born entirely by the merchants, and eventually, through higher prices, by the consumers.

What's even more damning is that the online payment flow is a retrofit over outdated and vulnerable technology. Payment fraud could be eliminated almost entirely by a new payment system design.

The credit card companies are simply massive and slow monopolists begging to be disrupted, that nobody has the capital and courage to attack.

> Because the land of cli args is inconsequential compared in scale compared to the general world of computer use

Not really true - the “general world of computer use” uses that stuff very heavily, just “behind the scenes” so the average user isn’t aware of it. For example, it is very common for GUI apps to parse command line arguments at startup (since, e.g., one way the OS, and other apps which integrate with it, uses to get your word processor to open a particular document, is to pass the path to the document as a command line argument)

> and banning spaces does not remove the complexity of escaping (how do you escape _?)

You don’t need to escape _ unless it has some special meaning to the command processor/shell. On Unix it doesn’t. Nor for Windows cmd.exe

Here's a list of major bridges that need attention (& aren't getting it): https://artbabridgereport.org/state/ranking/top-bridges

FHWA provides up to $7 Billion in assistance in maintaining bridges. But it would take at least $125 Billion to begin dealing with the structurally deficient bridges in the USA, according to the ASCE Infrastructure Report Card[1].

Add to this the fact that many bridges in the US are privately owned, and it's the responsibility of the bridge owner to maintain them. But guess what's not profitable for a private enterprise? Maintaining bridges. Despite this, train derailments and property damage continue every year due to unmaintained bridge and train infrastructure.

The executive has proposed funding for repairs, but as usual, it's not enough[2]. So far they've gotten almost half that number of bridges repaired, and pledged another $300M,[3] which is still just a drop in the bucket of what's needed of the backlog; it doesn't address all the new maintenance that will be needed each year.

According to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, there are 167 million crossings on 42,400 bridges rated in poor condition. [4]

Working on onekontact, the only place you ever have to update your address or phone number when you move.
The “someone else” also needs to be vetted to ensure that their first update won’t include crypto mining malware.

We should remember that an unmaintained dependency isn’t the worst thing that can happen to a supply chain. There are far worse nightmare scenarios that involve exfiltrated keys, ransomewared files and such.

I’ll bet that if someone with a track record of contributing to the Rust community steps up, he’ll happily transfer control of the crate. But he’s not just going to assign it to some random internet user and put the whole ecosystem at risk.
And that's just the problems you can control. If you are poor and live in a bad neighborhood, you're probably worried about getting to/from work without getting jumped. Everything is filthy. There's trash everywhere. You probably live near environmental hazards like an airport, factory, or some public works. My neighborhood growing up was ringed with an airport, sewage treatment plant, junk yards, and the remnants of manufacturing industry. The air was gross and it was always loud. These kinds of things just absolutely wear you down.

This sounds like a way to socially bridge and also make the discrimination more certain.
I tried it on one of my own tunes:

https://lamucal.ai/songs/adrian-holovaty/adrian-holovaty-the...

The beats/chords were consistently a full beat off, and the chords were probably only 50% right. I chose this tune because (to my ears) the harmony is pretty clear.

Compare this to my own manually created transcription of the same tune, and it's night-and-day difference:

https://www.soundslice.com/slices/tpbwc/

Beat detection and chord detection are hard problems, likely due to a lack of diverse training data. Chordify (another site that does this, which has been around for ages) has roughly similar performance.

Full disclosure: I run Soundslice, a website built around synced sheet music, in which there's no automatic transcription involved (maybe someday, but the tech isn't good enough yet!). I've been following these developments for 15+ years.
Not sure about that. Consider that in Europe, credit cards are not as popular, perhaps in part because there's not much in the way of rewards programs. An oft-suggested reason for that is because card fees are legally capped pretty low in Europe.
This might help with something benign, or with fixing an error, but what if it is vindictive?

Can I pay the police to make someone’s life miserable? The police sound more like a cartel or gang running a protection racket.

I don’t want the Vietnamese system, and while problems with the US system seem too common, I think I’d prefer the US system.
>I fully support merchants being able to charge more for card or give a discount for cash. The fact they haven't been able to for 3+ decades

This is false. Merchants in the US have been able to give cash/debit card discounts since Oct 2011. I would be surprised if Europe did not have similar rules even before the US.

https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/new-rules-el...

The reason many merchants do not is because they want to bet that people are able and willing to spend more when people pay with a credit card, as opposed to cash/debit card.

Note that many larger merchants do give discounts for paying with cash/debit, such as ATT/Target/governments/insurance companies/etc.
I don't think that is the reason cash has died.

Cash has died because it is inconvenient, unsanitary, and risky to walk around with large amounts of it.

When I pay cash it's because (a) I'm getting a discount (b) I want to be anonymous and not give any personal information (c) my credit card isn't working on their equipment (d) I'm giving tips and worried that their company will take some of it (e) I buying/selling used items from a stranger and want to use an irreversible method of money transfer. If it weren't for these reasons I wouldn't ever use cash. It's inconvenient.

(e) can be served by cryptocurrency, I suppose, but there are other issues with it, like the stranger being able to see your account balance and then come at you with the $5 wrench.
Yeah I don't know what these people are talking about. Some of the people I've met are as care free as it gets. Wonder if most of what people "experience" is imagined here.

> Apple Card is still at 16% (for us).

Yep, seems that 16.24% must be the lowest APR. My credit score is perfect, and that's the best Apple Card will do for me. All of my money (everything, groceries to utility payments, all of it) flows through the card and paid off every month. But that APR is a little nuts, so I keep an old credit union Visa around that has an 8% APR grandfathered in from 15 or 20 years ago. If for some reason I found myself needing to run a balance, even for a short time, that's the card I'd use.

Just have to remind myself to use it occasionally so they don't kill it for inactivity.

It's not the impact, it's the fact that it just keeps pushing. Movies commonly use slow motion and time extension via editing for destruction scenes because (as we've just seen) real time doesn't always look impressive to the untrained eye.

Also, there's a lot of mass concentrated in that ship. It's the equivalent of hitting a window with a sledgehammer. Small recreational vessels could probably crash into those pylons all day long.

There used to be churches, indeed. I can look over my screen and see one about thirty yards away.

Apart from churches, there are quite a few community events and activities I can think of that could draw on the unattached: tree plantings, park cleanups (I know there will be one in my neighborhood on Earth Day), tutoring, soup kitchens, etc.
The endgame for the trillions of r&d dollars we're funding AI with is so a small subset of rich people can return to monke?

I wonder if there are tools that library maintainers can use to calculate transitive code coverage of their libraries, eg which other lib test suites use them?

You might have misunderstood the difference between controlling the ship and commanding it. The Panama Canal Authority pilot controls navigation and maneuvering to get through the canal but the captain is still in command of the vessel and ultimately responsible for it.

Canal accidents cost so much that they're each individually investigated and insurance companies fight over who is liable. Sometimes it's the pilot's fault and ACP's insurance pays out, sometimes it's the shipping company's insurance, and sometimes they split the cost.
