No, not really. It's not about the 3D capabilities (I have different types of issues there) or about GDScript per se (other scripting languages have even worse issues like the GIL in Python), but the issue I had is that a lot of time w

I'm currently using Godot 3 for my solo indie project. It's a six-degrees of freedom space shooter. I use rigid bodies and physics very extensively, but what have proved to be very hard-to-remove bottlenecks were the scene tree an

Here is my two cent hypothesis. Consciousness arises whenever a system processes information in some way. In particular I would think it requires that the system has a simplified recursive model of itself. When I say "arises" I me

As a neo-classical liberal I must admit I still have to read the WoN. However, I have done a quite a lot of research to form my view of economics, which include summaries of the work of Adam Smith. I know already he was wrong about some of

I think we can agree to disagree on many things. But I want to tell you something before I move on. I come from a country where positive rights are hinted in the constitution and applied in practice. The constitution states that "the g

No, you missed the point about Crowding-out. The phenomena is exactly this, there is a market but because the Government does it, it crowds out investments.

I agree that that's how things are. The fact that they are like this doesn't mean they must be. I believe there is a huge market for private research. Imagine the company getting to nuclear fusion first. They will be extremely pro

Not what I said. I said Nukes. There is a huge difference. Nukes can only be used to blow up stuff. But the other things, while they can be used to do harm, their capacity to harm is orders of magnitude lower than the capacity of a Nuke, an

I meant that they can only be provided by the state in an effective way to protect the negative rights. That is what you need precisely to avoid becoming a failed state, where negative rights are not protected.

Except for public roads I believe those are functions that can only be carried out by the government and are exactly what and only what the government should do. As I said, for reasons I didn't mention, I only believe in negative right

I got my MSc in Computer Engineering in a country where university is highly subsidized, so it cost me very little. Now I live, work and pay taxes in another country. People that paid for my education are getting nothing in return. About fr

No Idea. Bonuses? I have extrapolated to all workers, but the actual number might be a bit different because of this.

They only work up to the point when they don't. Amazon only plans part of the economy of its workers. It doesn't have to plan for what they eat, where they live and how they spend their money in general. In a capitalist system com

Yes, and I'm in favor of allowing people form other countries to "flood" the labor market. I'm not a protectionist. I think people have a right to work no matter their nationality. (BTW I don't even live in the US).

Every company try to pay as little as possible. The only reason they can pay less in Bangladesh is because the economy there is much less developed. Raise the minimum wage in Bangladesh and companies will move to somewhere else leaving thos

I will, but keep in mind that economists are very divided on the subject - and many other subjects. I do listen to economists, but eventually I have to chose to which economist to believe in these cases, and to do that I try to asses how ho

Did you miss the evidence I provided? It's less than ~2% of the hourly paid workers. I know how the market works. That's why I also provided evidence that's not the case. Also the alternative is having some of those people ha

A right to exist for humans, to me , means a right not to have interference from others. But still, higher minimum wage means some people will have no income, and some other will have more income. How's that better?

by m4nu3l 5y ago
Statistical evidence is better than anecdotal evidence. https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/minimum-wage/2019/home.htm Also, so you'd rather have some of those people have no income as long as some luc

I think that's not going to happen because single corporations have no power in choosing wages. The labor market does. In the labor market the wage will reflect the market value of the job. Almost all current jobs already have market v

Not sure how to take this. Are you saying that Bangladesh is poor just because they didn't think about raising the minimum wage?

by m4nu3l 5y ago
Hum, I see your point, but I disagree for two reasons. AFAIK most jobs that would pay under what's enough to live on are entry level jobs usually carried out part-time by students. Denying them such job is removing them that source of

I agree with the statement except for the "minimum wage" part - I assume you mean the legal minimum wage. Companies should have no right to exist as much as people should have no right to a government imposed minimum wage. On a pr

I get it. However what matters the most in my view is the long term ratio of serious accidents in self-driving vs human driving. There is no need to cover all possibilities for that, right? The only problem with Tesla is IMHO that the name
