The easiest solution is to stop the population decline. I have a suspicion that taking people's money in order to give some of the money back to 'incentivize' families is not the most effective or straightforward way to do it. Population had been growing for thousands years without such a process.
The World Bank classification is for High-Income, not developed. Even Russia, Mexico, and Turkey all caught up to that definition at various points in time before regressing. Even China's GDP per Capita is closeish to that level yet median household incomes and HDI are still lower than Thailand and Serbia.

Czechia didn't catch up to Western Europe HDIs until the mid-2010s, and Median wages were significantly lower than much of Western Europe until recently (eg. The datapoint above), and GDP per Capita is still significantly behind much of Western Europe and the Asian Tigers.

Even South Korea didn't officially become developed until the mid-2010s, and they outpaced Czechia in HDI and GDP per Capita by the early 2000s.

Alternatively, if Czechia was a developed country in the mid-2000s, then Turkey and Hungary are now developed countries in the early 2020s as they have hit similar indicators as Czechia in the 2000s.

> Czech lands were pretty developed

Developed versus developing is a technical-ish term.

Czechia was absolutely a developing country until recently. Just having a medieval university or some industrial capacity in the early 20th isn't saying much, as Korea and Taiwan were in a similar boat as well under the otherwise brutal Japanese colonial rule.

And even today, water treatment in Czechia lags significantly behind much of the Western EU member states.

Saying otherwise is just Eurocentricism.

And it also ignores that fact that for most of it's history, it was CzechoSLOVAKIA and Slovakia is still lagging behind on developmental indicators to this day, despite having a similar linguistic and ethnic proximity to Czechs as Serbs are to Croats.

To be more explicit, liberal arts refers to art as in skill, not as in fine arts. Liberal arts education is the dominant educational paradigm in the western world. Any education that emphasizes being well-rounded any knowing something about many subjects is typically a liberal arts education (compared to a technical or professional education where you just learn a lot about a single subject).
Apple sells hardware at a large profit, they don't need to rely on ad revenue.

Google literally cannot release a voice only assistant that solves all of your problems, it would destroy their ad revenue.

This is the same reason why Microsoft never had a chance to win the online market in the early 2000s, they were reliant on large companies buying on-prem licenses for server and client machines. Websites that could be accessed from any device, running any OS, and that could be served from Linux boxes, was against everything MS stood for.

Eventually MS figured out they could make bank by hosting those Linux boxes, or by running the productivity infrastructure that all those business machines connect to (hosted Exchange, web versions of office) and still make money on software.

But Google is too addicted to ad revenue to ever truly revolutionize the world of computing.

The console says “Space Imploder,” which isn’t a real arcade console, from what I can tell. There’s more discussion here[1], but it seems likely that a lot of the things weren’t real (or if they were real, they weren’t were junk that was broken beyond repair).

This seems to be a major point that’s missing from the discussion. If a lot of this is stuff that was fake or already headed for the dump, it completely undermines the argument that perfectly good equipment was destroyed.

Part of what makes me take prepping seriously is that the majority of payments are electronic now and there is no failover as far as I'm aware. In ~2015 I saw a power outage briefly take down the payment processsor at a grocery store. despite having cash I could not check out.

If something like that happens but sustained long enough to cause a mob to loot the store (which the media would of course amplify), it wouldn't be long before there was widespread panic.

Ultimately the problem with these plans is that solar panels are cheap, but launching them into space is not. There is no point in the near future where launch costs become so cheap that it doesn't make sense to do this instead just building ten times as many panels for the same cost and installing them around the world. The math may change if we ever deploy a space elevator or do asteroid capture and orbital mining/manufacturing, but those are all in the distant future.

As long as cars are gracefully handling weird visions (like Stop sign in middle of 80mph highway) it should be fine.

When I was 1yo my dad was driving on the highway, got distracted, and ended up on a highway portion that was under construction. He was driving full speed, when he saw a barrier, late enough that he swung the steering wheel to avoid the barrier, and ended up driving on 2 wheels before the car felt back and stopped. No baby at the time, my grand-ma was holding me in the back (good old years when cars were lighter and less secure).

Random things can happen on the road, including wrong signage. As long as the car can assess the current state and graceful transition to a safe spot, it should be fine to throw at them random signage.

> removing the current loophole that allows hospitality staff to be paid less than minimum wage because tips will make up the difference

This isn't really the issue: the employer is required to make up the difference if the worker's pay does not meet or exceed the normal (non-tipped) minimum wage. The issue is that the waiters are making serious money off of tips.

Say they are making $5/hr for a six hour shift and that they serve 10 tables who each buy $100 worth of food during that shift: then their total pay is going to be 6 * 5 + 10 * 15 = 30 + 150 = $180 (since the custom is to tip at least 15% of the cost of the bill). That means that in order to make the same amount of money without tips, they would have to make $30/hr (and I've chosen pretty low numbers; you can imagine that in more expensive restaurants the money just gets better). That's a pretty expensive wage and it seems unlikely that most staff would get it.

> no European waiter is thinking "I wish my salary were half what it is and customers were told their tips are what prevents me from starving"

Obviously it depends a lot on the kind of place but I would guess that in high-end places, American waiters are doing better than their European counterparts (at least in terms of raw wages), as illustrated above. Servers and bartenders in full-service restaurants are by and large pretty big proponents of the tipping system.

In any case, I'm not a proponent of this system at all; I'm just trying to answer your question of why it hasn't changed by showing that there are in fact groups that benefit from the system as is, so it's not pure inertia that prevents us from getting rid of it.
Vague recollection from studying this years ago...

The "receiver" is more-or-less a field "covered" by a spiderweb of bent coat-hanger wire. That doesn't block the sun, and making it huge (low power/sq. m) is quite cheap.

It's an understatement to say that only "a few" famines have brought out a regrettable side of humanity. The situation is very similar to a war. Remember that the rate of violent death was much higher before agriculture and farming were invented. A breakdown of infrastructure would bring us closer to our natural condition from those times. Accepting that doesn't require anyone to be a misanthropist or a cynic about human value.

Fortunately, Azure Blob Storage and AWS S3 and Google Cloud Storage are effectively infinite compared to any requirements from a version control system.

I've only written the Azure Blob Storage implementation so far, but the idea is that Grace offloads all file upload/download traffic to those object storage services, using Azure SAS tokens [1] or AWS Presigned URL [2], etc.

That lack of a comprehensive legal framework to protect workers is the core of the issues immigrant labor faces. While I can't say I have seen the most horrifying behaviours described in the article, I've seen more than my fair share of Indian colleagues in the US being overworked/underpaid, suffering borderline racist abuse, and stressed for being kept in fear of losing their jobs and the ability to stay in the country.

It doesn’t. The number of games that natively target Vulkan are minuscule.

Both Unity and Unreal support metal well (and for a long time, better than Vulkan), especially due to iOS. Even many proprietary engines do.

Even before Vulkan and Metal existed, OpenGL was consistent (before Apple stopped supporting it) and there weren’t many more native games then either.

Someone will no doubt bring up reusing Proton, but they’ll gloss over the differences in platform and also that Game Porting Toolkit exists and does the same thing.

The reality is that, until recently, the number of Mac systems that were gaming ready was a very small number that wasn’t worth focusing on.

On the one hand, gaming is one of the few industries where generative AI can have a big impact on producitivity today. It's easy to be cynical, but used well it could reverse the trend of excessively expensive AAA game development.

On the other hand, who would trust the CEO of EA / EA in general not to do all the wrong things with AI to save a buck.
