Seems like you didn't read that literature after all.

You definitely would Understand that ownership also comes in the form of owning rentals, mortgages, and not just owner occupied housing. That ownership is stock and shares with increasing valuations where you require increasing yields - requirements that makes the produce of the companies more expensive to support these valuations - inflation without a basis for salary inflation (as that would make the incomes more equal, which you explicitly forbade).

If half the population (your naighbor in you analogy) amassed significant wealth, it most certainly would materially change your wealth and make you poor - their money would gravitate to equity, yours and your kids equity. Literally making your poor.
"Encrypted". Emphasis on *transport cryptography! Signal etc mesages can be found in phone memory even after reboot. Someone should really hold a crash course on how to crypto on your devices from FS to messdate data over IP works:
*It's not your crypto, but a bunch of others, (strangers, dangers) people's crypto who's __word__ you accept for Gospel (trust us, we know best!:) Not to mention if your packets have reached correct end point and not one the CA just says it the expected one__!*

* You blindly trust a daisy chain of stranger's word that their code and their CA and they themselves are uncrackable & secure. Would you trust strangers insisting on being all in your secure bits?

* Most industry CA based. hardware does not disclose vulnerablities or noice that patches are incoming t the end user, they secretley fix after their lients, your servivce provder typically, has beengiven advisories. Those rarely are givenn to the en dus,t he customer, because of NDA or even lazyness, security by obscurity incomeptence etc.

Smart device encryption is an illusion where your trust strangers with legal/financial or Intel motives to betray it, but call strangers fancy names like CA, ROot of Trust, etc.

The entire ecosystem of trust based device security crypto is to ensure their access to your daa, securely. Not to secure your data from them or the OEM, and TLS padlocks simply means the CA told your app whtever certificate pres4ented is the right one, green lighting you and that endpoint to negotiatie encryption, so for all you know you aor your app could be negotating encryption with the US FBI or $APT.

* CAs do get compromised by attacker, nation states & researchers,, encryption standards do get backdoored, with weak implementations or even kleptographic ones.

q: Why is the US FBI causing panic about suppposed chinese hacking isntead of contacting us service provides who can enable 4g / LTE IPSEC transport, supported by all certified handsets and USIM, yiuelding telecom network infratrcture acccess a moot point since ipsec tunnel is from you to your service provider and their end point.

A: You are victims of on-going psyop conditioninig you to trust blindly!

Do not fall for the temptation: Every part of the daisy chain of trust providers have insentives to screw you over at their whim...and then there is all the code they + you rely on to bootstrap that daisy chain of naive trust..

>There is no mention of the dollar status as the reserve currency, which enables the reckless U.S. deficit spending while shielding it from the consequences.

This isn’t a given. People around the world like to use USD because they trust USD to buy the things they want in the future.
The median income on that page is the median disposable household income, divided by the square root of household size. Because American households are large for developed countries, measures like that overestimate the income of the median American relative to the median European.

There is an easy sanity check: Swiss GDP per capita is higher than in the US, both in absolute terms and in PPP terms. Their Gini coefficient is lower, meaning that the income distribution is more equal than in the US. If a comparison shows that the average/median disposable income is substantially higher in the US than in Switzerland, it is measuring something weird.

Investors back whatever they think will make them money. They couldn’t give less of a crap if something is valuable to the world, or works well, of is in any way positive to others. All they care is if they can profit from it and they’ll chase every idea in that pursuit.

The World Health Organization's numbers are broken down a bit more [1].

Claiming a twofold decrease since the beginning of the 2000's is not supported by the WHO's numbers. Peak consumption in Russia looks to be in 2006, there's been a 28% decrease in consumption since 2006.

Women in Russia do consume less than women in the USA in 2020, 4.2L vs 4.4L but Russian men still out drink their American counterparts at 18.1L vs 15.5L.

If you only want to see what you want to see, it's easy to find evidence. On the other hand, look at the commonly posted wages vs productivity graphs (productivity goes up pretty much unbroken, but wages flatline since roughly mid-70s), or compare the 'US is #1!!' GDP per capita numbers against the *median* income numbers. Bit of a difference when you remove Musk, Gates, Bezos et al income from the comparison.
That's definitely a possible failure mode, but I think it's preferable to having DataProcessingWorker, IngestService, ProcessingService, DataLoader, etc. Because, you eventually end up with all of these names and it's just as hard to guess what happens where as if they were named after fruits.

At least for me having too many names that are nearly semantically identical is worse than names that are a little (or even a lot) weird. We stare at names all day and if everything is named `YourCompanyNameMessageDataProcessingService` searches get annoying and it's easy for your eyes to start to glaze over.

If you name stuff like, say, Shucker, you have to ask "wait, wtf is the Shucker service?" Someone explains "It unwraps the GRPC messages and puts the contents on a queue. It's like shucking an oyster I guess? Yeah, we know it's a dumb name." But now you have a unique handle that's not likely to collide with other services.

If you can find a straight laced informative descriptive name that's unlikely to collide in the future that's great. But I'd take a funky name that immediately makes sense once you explain it (reference/pun/acronym whatever) over some 2010s java-class-name-looking beige blob of text any day.

>What do you base this assertion on?

It's a pretty well understood part of sleep research. Sleep has different phases, only REM, the lightest part of sleep, is associated with dreaming. Also, it matches up with my experience of dreams and basically all the reports I've seen from others on dreams: there's not a continuous experience from falling asleep to dreams, there's being in the process of falling asleep, then there's being in a dream, and the experience is discontinuous, the transition between wakefullness and dreaming is not experienced, nor is the transition between different dreams.

(I've also personally experienced a very sharp discontinuity around sleep, once or twice, where I have literally 'blinked' while looking out my bedroom window and seen it go from dark to bright light, experiencing nothing of the hours in between. Though I suppose in many ways this is a much more continuous conscious experience than I normally have when sleeping, where waking up feels much more disjoint from falling asleep)
I suppose that nonsense in the training data is often accompanied by yet more nonsense, so that’s what it might be trained to emit.
This is, very directly, a supply-and-demand problem. (That is not to say that it's a simple one, or that naive economics trivially applies here or will necessarily give correct answers, or especially that either the supply or demand are straightforward to change, just that it's a reasonable reasoning framework to start with.) The more people willing to do a job, the lower the standards of the lowest bidder. Solving this problem requires one or more of:

1) Raising the minimum standards of the lowest bidders on the worker side. This could be done through collective bargaining or regulation, making it so nobody is willing to "defect" (in the prisoner's dilemma sense) and work for conditions below a certain standard, which means there's little to no supply of such workers.

2) Raising the standards on the demand side. This could theoretically happen if consumers are willing to preferentially purchase from places that provide higher standards for workers; effectively, coordinate and collectively bargain on the purchasing side. This seems unlikely to happen as consumers are even more likely to "defect" and purchase from the least expensive company. This is one case where a simplistic model breaks down: consumers' ability to collectively demand higher standards for how companies treat their workers is limited by the fact that consumers are getting their income and ability to afford higher standards from the work they're doing.

3) Lowering the supply of labor across the board. This would happen if fewer people are willing to do the job, such as if people didn't have to work in order to survive (e.g. UBI). If there isn't an endless supply of workers who have to tolerate whatever conditions get them paid enough to survive, satisfying demand for labor requires substantially higher standards for pay and working conditions. (Conversely, if everyone in a workplace wants to be there, it's easier to get quality output.)

4) Raising the demand for labor across the board. This isn't going to happen, as it'd run counter to some of the primary defining qualities of an improving society; even if it did, it would be likely to ultimately result in similar stratification between groups of workers.

5) Raise the mobility from one category of labor to another. Constantly being worked on in many different ways, but will inherently never be able to fully solve the problem because not enough people can take advantage of this option to avoid stratification.

The feasible alternatives here feed back both positively and negatively into each other.

Personally, I think implementing (3) via UBI is the one most likely in terms of feasibility. (Not politically in terms of passing it, but practically in terms of how monumentally effective it would be compared to the rest.) (3) is the option here most immune to the prisoners' dilemma defection problem.
You're arguing the counter, but all you did was prove their point that these expenses can be classified according to a situation.

If you own 80% of something worth $1B - you have $800M. If you can't sell $2M at your preferred price to pay your taxes, then it's not worth $1B, and you wouldn't have to pay that much tax anyway.

Honest question.
On the other hand, old gold mines tend to be the best place to find gold - the older the better since the technological capabilities for gold recovery today are much greater then those of the old miners (yet evidently they must've been finding something to think it worth to keep digging).
Strange, I pull up downtown Denver and I see like 20 parks within a square mile.

However, this kind of whataboutism illustrates my point. There's a near infinite number of places humans can congregate to enjoy each other's company. It can be a park or a coffee shop or a pub or your kitchen table for tea.

The fact that none of these are suitable demonstrates that the desire to get together is not there.

Well, I didn't talk about what is OK or not OK. What I said is you don't have a right to not have someone looking over your shoulder. Unless that person is touching you or following you to do it, there's nothing you can do to stop someone who's snooping at your screen in public if they don't want to stop.

>> Are you saying that for people making median level of income, the US is a horrible place to live compared to the rest of the world?

> Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

I just came back from Chad. I've also spent time in Mozambique, Madagascar, Ethiopia, and South Africa. I'm pretty sure that the quality of life for those at median income is quite a bit worse in all of those places than in the US. So perhaps it's a bit hyperbolic to make a statement such as that, comparing the US to the rest of the world.

This thread is a bit reminiscent of the old days when the East German government used to claim - with a straight face - that the Berlin Wall was there in order to keep the westerners from overrunning the Workers' Paradise of the east.

Revealed preference shows that way, way, way, more people are trying to move into the US for economic reasons than are trying to leave.

Mostly trying to get rid of longhorn. I've found it to be a continuous source of troubles w/ etcd sync & IO issues. Current iteration of cluster is all optane so might give longhorn another go, but still want to move storage off cluster.

Especially source repo needs to live on some sort of striped zfs array. Ordered one of these quad nvme NAS things [0] so that's probably going to be storage. Either nix or proxmox...not decided.

Also still a bit fuzzy on what best game plan on PVs is. Minio/s3 or nfs appear to be options.

DB...just the usual suspects...mainly postgres for gitea I think. Mongo for dev stuff. Used to vanilla proxmox/docker/lxc so this is all unchartered territory for me.

In my experience with the cryptographic security space at Facebook, what happens is the security team reaches out to you and starts a conversation. You collaboratively establish the severity, acceptable mitigation options, and appropriate timeline. There might be a little bikeshedding over various degrees of ideal option (it's more fun for the crypto guys that way). They might volunteer to do the work. You review the diffs, they're good, it lands.

They're smart people and the team knows how to collaborate with random infra/product teams.

I think your number is a bit high. Looking at a few calculators, even if I push the property tax & insurance numbers quite a bit higher than I think is credible, I can't get the numbers past $3800/mo or so. More reasonable seems to be around $3400/mo. So that's $40k-$46k/yr, well below that overinflated $70k-$100k figure quoted upthread.

Also your math is off: even at your $4200/mo estimate, that's $50,400/yr, nowhere near your "not too far off" $60k. And that puts it at 30%-50% below the $70k-$100k range, which makes that range laughably inaccurate.
They're really not, especially not money without strings attached (there's a lot of money in research, and lot gets wasted, but that's partly because the broken process of grant funding means that you can't just take the money and spend it on useful things, you have to spend it on the grant even if it's not necessary). The fact is that home student tuition fees don't pay for the cost of teaching an average degree, and foreign student fees pay a fairly large multiple of that, so it's hard to see how that isn't effectively a subsidy, anyway, even if the universities have other income streams which also subsidize those degrees.

Everything thinks of Oxbridge (which are not representative of most universities) as being really rich, but even then it's maybe a few of the colleges that spend a lot of their money propping up the rest of them (the average oxbridge college has some very old and very expensive to maintain buildings and more or less has to beg alumni for that money).
That's exactly the point he's making. That exact slight of hand underpins all those "huge percent of population living paycheck to paycheck" headlines.

You're leaving out bending the customer over the barrel come renewal time once services are migrated and there's lock-in.

This is easily resolved by negotiating a longer contract, and planning for alternative vendors prior to the expiration of said contract. The amount of the potential increase at renewal is capped at the cost of switching (see, for example...all the VMWare customers switching off VMWare because its significantly cheaper to take the one-time switching costs than to pay 1000x every year).

This is all part of basic Negotiating 101. It sounds like your company isn't any good at it, and they could save a lot of money by getting better negotiators. (Now you know why Legal gets paid $$$ to play solitaire most of the day.)

You obviously didn't live through it, or you wouldn't be spouting such offensive, naive nonsense.

When is the last time you saw a bank paying anywhere close to the prime rate on savings accounts, which is all a working class family typically has access to.
