Why use something so… old?

This is very cool! As someone who wishes more people got some programming exposure to IBM z and how it works differently than minicomputer derived operating systems (both *nix and Windows count here), I think this is awesome.

You dont know many poor people, or very young people. I work a furry convention in the Southern US, about 3% of our attendees have some ID related malady - can't get a timely appointment at DMV, missing core documentation, unable to pr

No, but it is why we keep making tanks, even though the odds of a land war needing large number of tanks is tiny.

There is another one where they had to recall retirees to restart Stinger Missile production. The F1 is particularly interesting, because if we'd undergone a program in 1985, we probably could have restarted production, maybe even 19

I suspect a bunch of technical debt - the core of the application dates to 2000 or before (there are menu's changed for a very very long time).

Good catch, I didnt quite catch that she was denied reentry to Canada!

IMO - the trans stuff feels like a moral panic, like on the same level as the Satanic Panic of the 80's - or the violence in video games panic, or any number of other things - I'm just waiting for the storm to blow over. All of th

I'm more skeptical of that statement - sure, I think some are aware. Some are just blind partisans, otherwise those places wouldn't have been voting for team red for the last 35 years or so. There is also the paradox of the low in

It's like you and I are reading from the same book! - If I just go off what I see online, most of the loudest anti-trans voices, and most of the racists, I'm more or less convinced have never met or gotten to know any trans people

You're more or less spot on. It doesn't matter that Republicans are slightly more to blame then Democrats in the thinning out of rural places - the folks who live there, IMO, see both parties as the same thing. They remember how t

Manufacturing generally provides higher margin than service jobs, so the generally provide better benefits.

This is an issue we've encountered in our products - and I've seen it impact Intel graphics processors, as far back as gen 8.

Sure - but they're a politically possible one. I'm a big fan of UBI - love it, make all my librarian bits very happy! - but I also acknowledge the political reality of it. I also do see the value in work, people derive significant

If every high wage country did the same thing - and specifically targeted low regulation places - it would. I'm certain that the US can build something that is competitive in Europe, and most of the Americas. Also flatly, people cannot

Not particularly, no. I do think they want to create more manufacturing jobs, which in general are a better quality than service ones however.

by Aloha 2y ago
I want a better quality of jobs, in my experience service oriented industry often have a thinner margin than hardware. Like walmart is the largest private employer in the US, the working conditions, pay and benefits one gets from working

But a 25% tariff isnt going to do that, its just going to make things much more expensive - its another thing if you're trying to do cost adjustment tariffs - and just price in all the externalities (labor cost, regulatory regime, envi

The issue with trying to do this is tariffs are both extremely regressive and wont generate enough revenue to move the needle. It'd be one thing if we were combining tariffs with a UBI - that can balance out most of the regressive effe

by Aloha 2y ago
Cost adjustment tariffs is my argument - You use tariffs to equalize actual costs plus a little (environmental/climate rules, labor costs, regulatory environment, human rights, etc) between the US and a foreign country. It doesn't

by Aloha 2y ago
I'm pro tariff - but 25% tariffs are absurd, at most you need 10%-12% in narrowly targeted categories to ensure re-onshoring of production.

Yes, there is often manufacturing engineers on duty 24/7 and of course, line management.

This is probably an unpopular opinion - but if you're going to rename the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of the Americas is a much better name than Gulf of America. But its stupid, and Trump making a sideshow.

The market structure is weird, but it works more or less.

I think you're wrong to presume that the TUI would have remained static at DOS 3.3 or sh as it was in the mid 80's - something like fish would have evolved anyhow, menu driven TUI's can be amazing, and efficient. Marriott use
