One thing about PowerShell that annoys me is the verbosity and the use of capital letters in commands. While it is fine for scripts that you write once it feels suboptimal for daily use in a terminal, where I prefer the least strokes possib

I do not perceive productive as equal to fulfilling. But I understand you mean that for some people the sacrifice would not be worth the extra pay. It is another issue. Being a cog in a machine for x hours a day is a sacrifice. One voluntar

The terms productive and profitable are tightly related to each other. Of course you can argue about definitions, but I think I understand what you mean anyway. Yes, some things are hard or impossible to price (measure). But nonetheless pri

My point is that being a cog in the larger machine may be the most productive thing for a person. Even if it means doing a boring, repetitive job. For example someone shuffling boxes in Amazon may be way more productive than an office worke

If shuffling boxes around gets them the highest pay they can get on the market it just may be the most productive thing they can do! That means being a useful cog in a very effective machine.

Or mid term. I wonder if there is a study that looks into this problem. I suppose it backfires similarly to minimum wage. The legislation while helping some workers will hurt others. I doubt it will be net positive.

What about import/export prices? The matter is especially important for a small country, which relies heavily on the international trade.

I think it is a great strategy to push maintenance costs on customers as long as they swallow them :) Now seriously it is fine, it makes some room for competition to jump in. Sure as a customer I would like to have a great support for littl

Why shouldn't intelligence be inherited while other traits are? It makes little sense to me, especially because intelligence is so important for survival.

As far as I know 4chan people were trolling the media and they succeeded. The result is both funny and scary. The scary part is that random people's lives are harmed because of some innocent photo or gesture. This insanity stems not on

Well the fact there is more jobs than laborers can be explained by the government actions. If the government offers free money it rises the minimum wage that people are willing to accept. And if they do not produce more than before it means

Good luck competing with the government's free money. The only solution is inflation. Let's increase the nominal wages, hence prices, while inevitably reducing the real wages, and purchasing power of savings. It may be a good time

I am convinced that the standardized test should be the main or sole factor. Taking into account environmental variables is going to be overly arbitrary and likely to turn political and corrupt leading to worse results on average. If the te

It makes me wonder, what the owner could do in that environment to prevent such theft, ie in the circumstances where the police cannot be bothered. I wonder if making extremely loud, directed noise to cause a discomfort for thieves is legal

What does it mean to support a family? Is getting them sheltered, clothed and well fed good enough? I think it is way easier to achieve today than in almost any other time in a human history, even for the low earners. Restaurants are a part

Please, define what is a poverty wage, it is important. How much stuff one should afford to avoid being called poor. What is the change of the model in case of the restaurant? I can see only one, automate the jobs away to reduce the costs,

Rising the minimum wage is exactly the thing that should not be done, if one cares about the employment levels. It prices out the least qualified workforce of the market. To put it simply the less able/educated/experienced are not

Life by design is rigged and there is little we can do to change it. Natural selection may help with some problems, but it is also cruel in its nature. Knowing it does not mean we should not try to make the world a better place, we should.

Sure, there are limits to the extend in which people can take care of themselves. For example if they are born with a low IQ they may never be able to do provide a net benefit to any job or almost any job. So that they are effectively unemp
