I did, perhaps I misunderstood where you were coming from though. I was just meaning that there is a definite and not particularly subtle reason for minimum wage laws, sure the economics is used to set a level and to argue on the theory, but the reason for them existing in the first place does not come from economic theory, but rather from political experience with hungry angry people.

There's an obvious difference: people who have existing minimum wage jobs (your over fifties) likely deserve a pay raise and have the skills and experience and value to justify it.
This is a great policy for most people who are in minimum wage jobs.

People who don't have those skills and experience (e.g. teenagers) will find it harder to justify their value to job creators, creating a vicious circle as they can't get experience without employment. If I have to pay $10, I'll seek to employ people who are worth $10+.

In Australia, it's common for students to share a house, and all go on the lease. This favors the landlord, because each tenant is liable for the entire rent.

You implied that genders are represented equally in all fields of study, but that certainly wasn't true in my education (CS + EE). So assuming a bell curve of talent, your ideal team would have more men than women.
I think it's more like saying that "putting in fewer calories than you burn" is not actionable advice as the things you eat affect what is burned and what it does, and why you do anything at all. If you want to contribute to less air pollution: wear a jacket and a hat on cold days, and wear a thin t-shirt and shorts on warm ones; this is simple advice that will cause you to not keep messing with thermostats to feel comfortable, using less electricity and gas. In contrast, the "simplest" advice to "use less fuel" is going to cause you to sit there cold and sad while you try to force yourself to not mess with the thermostat; maybe you figure out the jacket thing, maybe you don't: it wasn't really useful advice, and it required willpower. If I want to burn more calories than I metabolize, I can either force myself to be hungry all the time (which might have negative ramifications), or I can eat foods that are more likely to provide bioavailable energy over longer periods of time that are less likely to turn rapidly into fat due to resulting insulin spikes: I will then be less hungry, and I will eat less without even realizing it <- that's "more complex", sure, but it is in another way "much easier", as changing what you eat can be easier than insisting that you have to eat less and go without something your body is demanding.

You may be too emotionally committed to listen to any skepticism, but for whatever it's worth:

1. Your language ("sin", "evil", "believe") indicates a major subjective component in what you're saying. As with everything subjective, you're probably aware that it's not provable with cold facts and logic, and it might justifiably be rejected by others' own subjectivity and take on facts.

2. A pervading feeling that the world is going to hell in a handbasket has proven seductive many times in history. Does any of this sound familiar:

"[They] claim that the current society and its rulers are corrupt, unjust, or otherwise wrong. They therefore believe they will be destroyed soon by a powerful force. The harmful nature of the status quo is considered intractable without the anticipated dramatic change"

Such world views have occurred often enough that there's a consecrated term for them: [1]. Sure, the different groups that held such beliefs differed from you in how they thought it would come to pass. But they differed from each other as well.

3. There's nothing necessarily theistic about millenarian beliefs. ("Official" churches have more often than not fought against them [3].) E.g. a lot of people in the 60s thought the apocalypse was due within two decades due to overpopulation.

4. Climate models have a simple, persuasive logic behind them. But that doesn't make them necessarily right. Malthusianism also had a seemingly bulletproof logic, yet the facts did not keep pace with it [4]. When the climate models turn out lacking precision [5], they also lose the force of scientific certainty. All we're left with is "the world is warming, we can't say how fast"; which is, of course, not a falsifiable belief [6].

Seems like you need a personal project that you would love. Build a blog for your wife. Give a portfolio to a friend that love photography. But first, tell them that you will make it for them. And tell them when. "Hey, Joe, what about I build you a portfolio website for next month?" Or better yet, make it as a birthday present to someone you like. I'm sure you will manage to finish his gift on time.

This is in university areas, with many students, I assume. In those areas, the large masses of students have made landlords open to this kind of arrangement, and they are used to dealing with students and their… special… economic situation.

But try it in a non-university town where non-students vastly outnumber the students? I don't think so. The landlord has everything to risk and nothing to gain by doing strange and unfamiliar things. If they have even heard of the practice, it's only for students, in student-dense areas, in housing long used in this way, with all the features (internal locks for each room, etc.). Why would they risk their nice house when they can just rent to somebody else?
You don't have to be terribly intelligent to realize that the percentage of people who can be "100% certain" that their finances will not implode at any point in a quarter-century span is vanishingly small.

Seriously, think about what you're saying here. Also, be aware that severe poverty is actually the best reason to have children. If some manage to survive, they're your best chance for care in old age.

Indeed, that's why birthrates tend to be the highest in the most desperate places on Earth. And that's why there's no surer way to reduce the birthrate than to develop social insurance structures that are strong enough and equitable enough for people to feel that they don't need to have lots of children for one or two to survive, and that they won't be utterly dependent on those they do have for care in their dotage.

In Canada, as a poor student/underemployed person, I lived in mansions with 6-10 friends. Those things are •very• hard to rent out. The neighbors hated us though ( we were young, drove crappy cars, sometimes had loud parties, and just generally made a mockery of the rich neighborhood we lived in. The absentee landlords were just parking there money in property, so were quite happy with us.

Things might be different in the States or elsewhere.
I'd disagree with the notion that McJobs necessarily prepare people for future employment. Particularly when there is little in the way of responsibility or consequences. This is not to say that there is nothing to be learned from the fast food grind, but I think we give too much credit to the idea of "early work experience" without sufficient concern for the nature of that experience.

Do you have a citation for the cases where Apple has successfully argued used this in court against some other party who was pirating OSX?

It's only "nifty" until it's put to the test and fails in court. It's "effective" as a way to protect software only in the minds of some Apple engineers; but a judge might not see it that way. There's no precedent to assure anyone that it would work. If there were, I suspect we'd see it in widespread use. Or maybe Apple has tried to patent it?

Perhaps the DMCA exists because "nifty" gimmicks like this one cannot be relied on?

All calories are not translated to weight equally, the efficiency your body uses them matters greatly.

Sure dieting couch-potatoes will lose weight, but it will include losing a lot of muscle.

How to actually build services in Ruby
I got tired of all the high level discussion of how to build Ruby services, so I put together an actual bit of code that lets you build a Rack application using the Grape API layer, Roar representers, has built in support for ActiveRecord migrations apart from Rails, and a Mina deployment script that will put it on your server within 5 seconds.

You can read the blog post and slides from my Windy City Rails talk here: http://devblog.reverb.com/post/61151763659/building-ruby-services-on-and-off-rails

> Instead of raising the minimum wage, I'm a proponent of increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_Income_Tax_Credit

Adding a state-level EIC would be considerably more administratively complex for California than changing the level of the existing minimum wage -- which, even granting for the sake of argument that such an approach would be desirable ignoring administrative costs, might strongly disfavor that approach.

> The EIC is a form of Negative Income Tax

No, its not.

The EIC is a means-tested social welfare program that has a benefit curve inconsistent with a negative income tax (particularly, it has ranges where more qualifying income increases the beneft, and ranges where it decreases the benefit, whereas the subsidy from a negative income tax is strictly non-increasing with additional income.)

I've seen this play out. My parents rent houses in a community with two large college campuses within 30 minutes. A group of students or recently graduated newly employed would approach my Dad. Most of the time he wouldn't even consider it -- even if the leaseholder could credibly make rent on their own.

And in some zoning designations, this is actually illegal. For example, years ago I lived in a house in the same town with 4 other guys, but it turned out the maximum number on non-related people allowed in a "single family" dwelling there was 3. The landlord let everyone move in but eventually threatened to kick us out on those grounds.

Thank you for reading the site so closely you actually noticed=). The side-effect notation I absolutely cringe inside for, and this (along with the jQuery dependency) probably took the most soul searching.

What it came down to is this behavior leads to a really nice syntax inspired by the excellent coffeekup js templating language (http://coffeekup.org/). The key is you can't really do computation or logic in anything but a function so using functions for nesting elements leads to elegant code. For example you could generate `li` tags inside of a `ul` tag: ul(function(){for loop{ li(...)}}).

That said, you don't have to use the functional notation to use OJ. All the functions and plugins support an _ variant (_YouTubeVideo, _div) that don't emit, and in addition everything in OJ can be written with a list syntax I call OJML. The syntax looks a bit like lisp and is actually what the functions, plugins, and css are all generating: [div, {'class':'my-cls',[YouTubeVideo,'url/to/video']].
I think you lucked out and found “absentee landlords”. I can't see these things being commonly accepted practice among landlords — as you say, your neighbors hated you and you were far from the norm in the area.

But just because you lucked out doesn't mean that it's just as easy for someone else, in another area. To actually create something like this on purpose, somewhere close to where you happen to have gotten a good job? That is hard.

The problem is that the carbon cycle is pretty much closed at the plant side. They create O2, but during burning, rotting or other biological activity it gets transformed into C02 again. You can see this in the data - during the northern hemisphere winter CO2 goes up, during summer it goes down. There's also a similar day-night cycle.

What happens then is that more CO2 is added, and it seems to be clear at this point that the plants are not keeping up - even losing ground due to land use change and deforestation.

Main carbon sinks are ocean uptake (the problem discussed in the article), weathering and the small amounts of organic matter that sink below the ground/sea/lakes without rotting (and which will create new coal and oil in time).

Apart from the first point, these processes happen on geologic time scales. (Also, shells of small sea animals, but again a miniscule factor. Those will be the next lime rocks.)

What you suggest is a new sink for carbon. However, it would probably cost more energy than can be gotten from fossil fuels because gravity. (Sry, too tired to run the calculations right now.)

If you can come up with a backdoor that requires the non-obvious interaction of multiple parts of the kernel (or parts of the kernel and certain user-space actions) then it would be reasonable to break up the necessary changes and slip each one in as a part of a larger demonstrable improvement to each specific subsystem.

For example (completely hypothetical), you could create a race condition in the kernel's page allocator that can be reliably be triggered by filling up physical ram and then forcing the kernel to allocate more memory for itself by filling up the proc table past a certain size. So in one patch you include an improvement to the allocator that has this obscure race condition but otherwise makes the allocator work much faster. Then in another patch you increase the maximum size of the proc table (under the pretense of supporting some big-iron system that practically no one outside of some HPC centers own) so that filling it up will force a kernel page allocation. So then you can force the exploit to occur on any system with both patches installed simply by allocating all the physical ram and then creating a ton of do-nothing processes that max out the proc table.

If you are an organization like the NSA you could even have the submissions come from what appear to be completely independent developers.

It is kind of the exploit version of "parallel construction." You know the exploit you want to put into the kernel, you just need to come up with reasonable sounding explanations for every little patch that ultimately gets you to the end goal.

This is an answer to "Why in the hell are these people "producing" children, if they aren't 100% certain that they'll be able to support them for the years until they are old enough to stand on their own feet?"

No, lack of contraception is not the issue here either. What, do you think that because you have low monetary gain you are perpetually unhappy and would not want to have children? That all procreation coming the poorest are mistakes and accidents?

That's quite a nice bubble there. Sorry to burst it.

If two people love each other enough, they might want to have a child. Yes, even if the future is unclear. Yes, even if it means selling the car, taking the public transportation and working over time and having multiple jobs. Whether the situation is permanent or temporary is not even an issue here.
If there was no welfare, and no tax system, then introducing a minimum wage would probably be a net improvement.

However, taxes and welfare already address the issue of hungry people (I don't particularly care how angry a person is). My problem is not with the goal of redistributing wealth, but with the minimum wage as a way to do this. Since the tax authorities already know the figure that we are really interested in (how much money a person makes in total), it makes more sense to lower the tax rate on low income earners, or increase welfare, than to increase the minimum wage.
I dropped 40 lbs in 5 weeks when I changed my diet to solely fruits and vegetables (no gluten or dairy). Dropped from 185 to 145 with no exercise. The point wasn't to lose weight but to eliminate most of the possible food allergies (and later slowly add them back, to figure out what you're allergic to), and as a side effect I lost 40 lbs. I felt perfectly healthy and I've managed to stick around 150 lbs since then, after switching back to a mostly normal diet (minus gluten). No idea why "2 lbs a week" would be the "safe" rate.
Moving SSH off port 22 has no security benefits. Anyone can still easily track down if you have SSH running and on what port.

Well, to be fair, ASP.NET Web Forms still encourages you to use a lot of hand-coded HTML/declarative markup with code-behind files in C#/VB. However, from my experience writing custom web controls in ASP.NET, OJ is similar in concept to using things like System.Web.UI.HtmlControls or the HTMLTextWriterTags with HTMLTextWriter to generate HTML content in code. Or like ASP.NET MVC HtmlHelpers. Still, all those technologies were strictly meant to be server side - one place where things like OJ are useful (rather than typing in big strings of HTML!).

I've toyed with my own similar tech to OJ in Javascript before, but couldn't justify the overhead in the client at the time.
This sounds rather much like speculation to me. Do you have any sources to back up your "Most" statement. Since the disease is generational, quite often children of addicts will have a stressful upbringing, but your theory of brain damage from stress causing the addiction is quite a stretch.

Rather than worry about what economists think, I'd highly suggest talking to real people who employ other real people in jobs that are at the current minimum wage, and see what their reaction will be. Understand their thinking of how and why they make salary decisions.
You might look at Zepto.js for a "lightweight" jQuery if it still does what you need for OJ.
