America’s immigration system was a landmine, and Trump set it off

Congress granted the executive branch broad latitude on immigration matters. For Trump, discretionary immigration enforcement means mass deportations.

米国、不確実性改善で景気後退回避の可能性高まった－ＪＰモルガン – Bloomberg

ＪＰモルガン・チェースのグローバル市場戦略責任者ドゥブラフコ・ラコスブハス氏は15日、ブルームバーグテレビジョンとのインタビューで、世界貿易に関する見通しが改善したことで、米国は景気後退を回避できる可能性が高まったと述べた。　　ラコスブハス氏は、自身の見解と前置きしたうえで、景気後退の可能性を35％と見積もっているとした。ＪＰモルガンが今週発表した公式評価は、景気後退の可能性は「依然として高い」リスクだが、50％未満としている。ＪＰモルガン・チェースのグローバル市場戦略責任者ドゥブラフコ・ラコス…

Episode 16 - Cory Doctorow - Livestream 2025-05-13

Welcome Fedi Friends to episode 16 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is Cory Doctorow! You might know Cory from such classics as the term "enshittification" that he coined during one of his many presentations. But besides having catch terms that even your grandparents can agree with about today's big tech platforms, Cory is also a science fiction author, activist and journalist. He's had a few books that us on the open social web might enjoy such as "How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism" and "The Internet Con : How to Seize the Means of Computation". Cory works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is a MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate, a visiting professor for numerous colleges. Cory holds and multiple honorary Doctorates. And might I add, I consider Cory to be one of the most charismatic and vocal advocates for digital privacy rights and I am claiming he is now King of the nerds. And there's just so much more to say about Cory, but I recommend everyone just go look up his Wikipedia, because if I have to talk about all of his accomplishments we'll run out of time. Cory thank you so much for joining me and I'm just blown away and honored to be able to speak to you.

So, if I were idly sitting around thinking it might be interesting to try and compress the first month of @shriramk's Programming Languages course into just two days, and I wanted to discourage the use of ChatGPT, and I wanted to make everyone start crying tears of, ugh, "joy" for everything being coded in Rust, I might come up with something like my "Ruckus" course. Ok, who wants some?

Please have them do the SMoL Tutor first, so they can get the semantics right! For your audience it shouldn't take very long, and any time it *does* take is time they needed to take.

in reply to Shriram Krishnamurthi

David Beazley

in reply to Shriram Krishnamurthi • 6 mesi fa • •

I will point them at that. I'm guiding the project via tests (that I provide) that are drawn from the tutor. So, if they're implementing the semantics wrong, the test won't pass.

in reply to David Beazley

Shriram Krishnamurthi

in reply to David Beazley • 6 mesi fa • •

But they should first have the right model in their head! Otherwise the test failures won't really mean much to them. Whereas if they've gotten their misconceptions cleared up, then they would realize "Ah, if this test failed, I must have accidentally implemented that semantics".

I fought with the SMoL tutor. Just plain didn't like it. But I did it grudgingly.

A friend's son is reading PLAI, so I directed him to it. I ended up answering a ton of questions about semantics and he realized that he had made a ton of assumptions that weren't valid.

For me, it felt all along that it was a "gotcha" test. It might be the format, or that I prefer the axiomatic method where things are laid out clearly.

The turning point for me came when I used the stacker to investigate a scope question with my friend's son--this brought out the value of the SMoL tutor.

@monkey1
Yeah, well, nobody reads anything "axiomatic" any longer — if they ever did. It's not like we're doing anything new.

Also, you can't change anyone's pedagogy. So the Tutor is designed to *complement* the way people do whatever it is they do (probably poorly, else the Tutor wouldn't need to exist <-;).

in reply to Shriram Krishnamurthi • 5 mesi fa • •

@monkey1 I don't know if there are enough Dune book readers left among the movie-going populace to justify that budget. More likely it was slightly more meaty source material than Star Wars or MCU. The movies do make changes from the books, for the better, movie-wise, but not nearly as much as, say, Blade Runner. I agree that more deviations were probably needed to make the films more broadly accessible. (All that text at the beginning is a dead giveaway.)

@monkey1 Well, I was 19 when GEB was released, and two years later (when I took a proper model theory course) would have been too late (had enough music two years prior, but two more years for enough art). I have a first edition hardback, but second printing, so it isn't worth much. Maybe I'll leave it in a university corridor and thrill some random passerby.

David, I am still mulling your take on Rust.

I started reading PLAI with a friend's son who decided to implement everything in Rust. Wheels screeched to a halt but he kept at it. Failure.

We just reengaged last week and he's now working on macros for objects. The pedagogical advantages of parenthesis are clear, at least to me.

The Rust exodus in the wilderness probably did him a lot of good. And I am still encouraging him to learn Rust but maybe have him go at it after we finish PLAI?

in reply to Andres Moreno

David Beazley

in reply to Andres Moreno • 5 mesi fa • •

@monkey1 So, you're saying that the Rust adventure ended in disaster? (If so, I can certainly guess why).

On that note, I'd probably just say that if you can implement SMoL in Rust, you might haved earned the right to say that you actually understand some Rust. And maybe a bunch of other programming languages too (because of the SMoL part).

Just to be clear, I think the Rust version of this project is pretty amazing from a learning perspective.

@Andres Moreno

in reply to David Beazley

Shriram Krishnamurthi

in reply to David Beazley • 5 mesi fa • •

@monkey1 TBH, I wouldn't say that because you've implemented SMoL you understand a lot of other *languages*. You understand *something*. (I'm not referring to the delta between the core and the full language; that's obvious. It's just that understanding an interpreter doesn't help you understand its implications. My favorite example is that the delta between eager and lazy eval can be as little as like 10 characters, but the consequences…)

@Andres Moreno

in reply to Shriram Krishnamurthi

David Beazley

in reply to Shriram Krishnamurthi • 5 mesi fa • •

@monkey1 I think my comment really refers to some fundamental ideas about variable binding, scoping, data structures, etc. If I were to make a "Python exam" based on a lot of SMoL examples and give it to people, I suspect the pass rate would be a lot lower than one might imagine.

@Andres Moreno

in reply to David Beazley

David Beazley

in reply to David Beazley • 5 mesi fa • •

@monkey1 One other curiosity of this exercise is that the Rust implementation revealed a blind spot in PLAI that's also present in the first part of Crafting Interpreters. That is, you can implement something that seems like it is fully correct according to the book (implementing even closures and scopes correctly), but it is still not correct.

Saying more would require more space. Though, I'd be curious, based on your intuition, what you think this oversight might be.

The UK will allow foreign states to own a 15% stake in British newspapers and magazines.

The proposed change comes a year after the former Conservative government banned foreign newspaper or magazine ownership amid concerns over an Abu Dhabi-led takeover of the Telegraph, one of Britain’s best-known papers.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said the move would allow media outlets to seek investment while limiting the risk of outside influence.

Die Wege sind mit Erde und kleinen Steinen bedeckt und durch das dichte Blätterdach der Bäume sind Sonnenstrahlen sichtbar. Links führt der Weg durch dichtes Unterholz und es gibt ein kleines Hindernis, das aus abgestorbenen Ästen besteht. Rechts ist ein Fahrrad an einem Baum gelehnt, was auf die Nutzung des Weges für Radfahrer hinweist. Die Bäume sind hoch und dicht, und die gesamte Szene ist von einer ruhigen und natürlichen Atmosphäre geprägt.

and it shouldn't be, thats the point. It disproportionately harms the poorest least skilled of the work force, it shouldnt exist at all, let alone act as a living wage.

Absolutely agree it should be, and minimum wage should also be abolished.

Only if that full time is **worth** decent food and your own place. People deserve food and an education to be able to gaint he skills to be worth a home and decent food, it is not the obligation of anyone paying someone money to do a task to provide that. It is the governments responsibility to create a healthy economy and valuable workers through access to free education, training, and sometimes welfare.

> which is completely impossible at min wage in the US right now

Entirely possible, for people who are skilled enough to be worth the income needed to afford these things. The fact that many people exist who do not have sufficiently marketable skills is the problem needing solving, not minimum wage.

> Fuck the protestant work ethic and the religious fanatics it rode in on.

Has nothing to do with work ethic, bother understanding a persons position first.

Because we already know from the data that minimum wage causes the poorest least skilled to not be able to find work, typically replaced by more skilled individuals. You can see the attached graph from a peer reviewed journal demonstrating this.

In addition to the data clearly showing this fact, its also common sense. Companies hire people based on the value they provide. If you dont provide enough value to be worth your wage, you wont get a job. Setting a minimum wage just makes it illegal to hire people who do not produce value great enough to be worth their hourly rate. The end result is you effectively make it illegal to hire the least skilled in society, forcing people who are already desperate and need work, and who dont make enough to loose their job entirely and be unhirable, effectively causing them to starve to death.

Obviously that is not a solution, it only makes their situation worse. Both the established scientific data, as well as just basic common sense clearly shows this.

Now how do you actually solve the problem, easy, the state pays to get these people an education or training to actually make their value high enough they are hireable at a living wage.

@freemo @rootfake Okay if you just increase the minimum salary and do nothing else, obviously that will lead to companies to not hire "less productive" people. But minimum salary by definition is just enough to sustain yourself. Just removing it won't help either. As you said, either people should be supported by the state to get "more productive" or maybe companies shouldn't profit outrageously from workers.

Absolutely, the underlying problem of having low-skill individuals whose skills are not marketable to sustain a living wage is a real problem. We know minimum wage makes this problem worse, so we can of course easily argue to abolish it, but while that wont make the problem worse, it also wont fix it.

As I stated elsewhere to truly address the problem then abolishing minimum wage is only the first step. The next step is to ensure people have access to high quality welfare programs that 1) keep them fed and healthy in the interim, and 2) provide good training programs to ensure their skill sets are marketable so they can make a living wage.

You cant start fixing a problem until you stop doing the things that contribute to the problem, so we cant really fix the problem until we take the minimal first step of abolishing minimum wage, though I absolutely support the fact that it isnt the only step that needs to be taken.

okay, so first off, the protestant work ethic is a very specific thing, which both has nothing to do with actual work ethic, and is, at least seemingly anyway, the exact ideology you're espousing. It grew out of the "if you don't work, you don't eat" shit that the early Virginia colonists believed, and is largely why many Americans believe "you'll get ahead through hard work" even though that is *demonstrably false*.

Secondly, do you recognize that *someone* still needs to do min wage jobs, and that those people deserve to not be living in squalor? Cause you can't have everyone upskill, there are only so many positions available. Like, if everyone becomes a coder, or a plumber, or an engineer, guess what, those stop being "high skill jobs" (which is a BS term btw, min wage jobs require skills too), and unless we automate them all away, min wage jobs still need doing.

I never claimed minimum wage jobs dont need to be done. No one is claiming those jobs should be abolished. The problem is when you have far too many low-skilled people then the laws of supply and demand dictate low-wage, everyone wants to to do it. When you have high skilled people most of them wont want to do low-skilled work, so the demand for doing the work goes down, and thus the pay goes up.

No one is suggesting **everyone** needs to be "upskill", only the people who are capable of it until you drive the wages up enough to not need to "upskill" people further.

No one is suggesting all people need to be coders and plumbers and engineers, just that more people need to be.

I know that too-low minimum wage can serve as an excuse to pay people less than they actually need. I also think that not having minimum wage can get some people taken advantage of (if you're desparate enough you'll work for any amount).

So some of those extra employed with low MW are probably flippin' miserable.

Hypothesis: removing MW *while also providing means to meet basic needs for everyone* should make for a better solution. Removing MW *with no further support* may well create a (not so) new type of slavery.

This is certainly true, if you have no minimum wage some people will be paid far below a living wage. But its important to understand that it isnt a companies obligation to pay you a living wage, its the governments responsibility to keep the markets and populace in a state where people earn a living wage. More importantly it isnt even about "who is responsible" so much as it is about what the reality is. As we covered when you raise minimum wage these people dont just get paid more, they just become unhirable. Have you solved anything by taking the people who would not earn a living wage and only earn, lets say, a nickle an hour, and now just forcing them to be fired and have no job at all? A nickle an hour is better than 0. Thats the problem, you arent actually making anyone get a living wage, your just making sure the people who cant get a living wage now have no job at all, how is that a step in the right direction?

> So some of those extra employed with low MW are probably flippin' miserable.

Less miserable than they would be without a job at all.

> Hypothesis: removing MW *while also providing means to meet basic needs for everyone* should make for a better solution. Removing MW *with no further support* may well create a (not so) new type of slavery.

We obviously agree the only real answer is ensuring people have good welfare before removing MW. However removing MW with no further support means now you have people who make 0 making **something**, sure its a shitty something, but something means they eat, nothing means they die. It may not be a great scenario but it is absolutely better than having minimum wage, or do you think just letting those people make 0 and starving to death is osmehow an improvement over a nickle an hour wage?

I think a lot of people arguing in favour of MW imagine it means that everyone previously below that threshold will get a raise, which I now understand is somewhat naive.

The graph you posted does not, however show that everyone below the threshold will be fired instead, and that would also be somewhat pessimistic.

Around here,, the idea that an employer has responsibility for employees has not yet fully been suffocated by US-based megacorporations, and it used to actually be pretty strong (and reasonable, if you assume that employees are humans, and employers too!)

In Germany, employers must pay health insurance, pension and a few other things for their employees. Minimum wage was introduced not too long ago, and unemployment is no issue

afaict abolishing MW will likely lead to most people who are currently on MW getting pay cuts. With some delay, it will then lead to some currently-unemployed people finding work at even lower wages.

How many "some" are, I can't tell, so I don't think there's a clear argument either way.
That could be different if it was certain that everyobe withkut a job is able to get by alright. Which would also increase the bargaining power of workers at the lower end of the payscale, thus increase wages, independent of minimum wage laws (and thus make this debate unnecessary)

No, because those people are paid that minimum wage because their skills make them give as much back as value. So no it doesnt work that way, nor is there any evidence to suggest it does.

> How many "some" are, I can't tell, so I don't think there's a clear argument either way.

The chart I provided shows exactly what that number is. A 50% increase in minimum wage would result in 50% increase in the number of people with no high school diploma being unemployed. You dont need to guess you have a peer reviewed study telling you. The relationship is linear, so when you double minimum wage you double the number of people who dont have a job (among those without diplomas). For those with a high school diploma the increase is only slightly smaller.

@freemo @Mr_Teatime @rootfake or you can do what Germany does. Provide unemployment wage so that people who have a job paid decently and people who don't can cover basic needs which forces companies to provide better working conditions because you won't starve to death if you don't have a job. You don't need to remove MW for this. And it's much better of compared to hypothetical US without MW.

You absolutely could, with the poor and middle class paying significantly more taxes, and with pay from highly skilled work a fraction (about 1/3 in my case as a technical expert) of what it is in the USA. I lived in the netherlands and germany as a middle class individual and with my pay being cut to 1/3 what it would be in the USA that is clearly **not** a good solution as far as I'm concerned. In fact the reason im agains the german system is because I lived it as a middle class individual and know just how horrific it is. Solves one problem, causes 10 others.

OR what you can do is exactly what I suggested, instead of giving people free money or relying on companies to be charities you can simply invest in making your populace highly skilled and then only supplement with welfare the few people who are incapable and actually solve the problem.

Considering no one said anything of the sort I would imagine it would bother you, figments of your imagination tend to do that.

When I argued education should be free and cover all levels of education and other forms of skill training (trade schools, educational degrees from bachnlors to PhD, etc) what part of that assumes I am against taxes when surely taxes would need to pay for this.

What I am arguing is instead of acting like true psychopaths and expecting companies to just be so altruistic they just give people money to live off of that is more than they actually earn for the company, that we actually make these people marketable so companies dont **need** to be charities, that they will pay them a living wage because the skills they bring the company is actually worth that living wage. Likewise reducing the number of people in low-paid jobs, thus decreasing the supply and likewise raising their wages out of need.

All of this would still need to be payed for with taxes, but instead of just handing out free money and causing actual **proven** harm to the very people you want to help Im suggesting actually helping them. No one said taxes are immoral, but **wasting** taxes to actually harm the people you are trying to help is.

I just noticed you're living in the Netherlands. So how are you dealing with the taxes here when you found the German system too expensive? I've studied in Germany (no fees, plus government support for expenses!), worked there for some years, then the UK, and now the Netherlands. The UK is certainly much more social than the US (but eroding quickly, which is why we left), but everywhere employers are expected to care for their employees -- and that is right and proper for me because the only peoe who want to go back to Dickens' times are those who don't mind getting rich by making others miserable.

In dickens time did they have free education and generous welfare system? Stop with the nonsense rhetoric, **no one** here is suggesting we abolish worker protections and minimum wage and call it a day, so the fact you keep harping ont he same loaded language is getting tiring.

What I am proposing is a system of free education and job training **to the extreme** and a good welfare system to help people during the transition. Nothing remotely dickens about it, its about the responsbility being ont he government to create healthy economies and to be the "charity" and not companies, which is how it should be.

As to your question, I have lived in many places from egypt to the USA to the Netherlands, in fact I've lived in most major countries at this point, or at least most regions (europe, asia, americas, etc).I am not against taxes, as I stated before I'm against wasted taxes.. wasting it on minimum wage when it makes the problem **worse** rather than investing it in welfare and education that actually fixes the problem. In the netherlands they actually use their taxes for actual good, it covers (partly) education, it provides decent welfare systems, and that money is spent well on infrastructure and social works. Compare that to the USA where most of the taxes are completely wasted, I dont mind spending the extra money if i see those benefits actually being realized. Now they still waste a **lot**, and their system of minimum wage isnt helping. But overall they arent wasting all of our money on military or walls, so by in large it is spent on tangible things, more so than in the USA at least.

inb4: I am not claiming the **overall** unemployment rate goes down, only the unemployment among the poorest and least skilled people, which is completely contrary to the purpose.

You can argue whatever mental gymnastics you want to try to make minimum wage sound like a good thing. But when all is said and done the undeniable fact is more minimum wage means the poorest least skilled people suffer more. We have the data that proves that.

Since I would never promote the idea that we should abolish all workers rights of any kind, and honestly thats an odd ask, I do not have such data, nor have any real reason to aquire it since I would never promote that scenario and think it is rather obvious we wouldnt want such a thing.

> And how education funding affects workers skill?

My stance is that we provide all sorts of worker training, that includes trade school, higher education, and simple work training and other education.

but sure, if you'd like some data on how this kind of training can improve ones wages without invoking minimum wage, I can certainly get some for you. But that seems like quite the odd thing to question, are you trying to claim that training and skills has no effect on ones wage?

Its only a crudgel when they disagree with your world view. I am using numbers to describe reality, not a curdgel to promote a world view. Most of my life I strongly supported minimum wage until I bothered to look and see if it actually helped (the numbers), and they dont.

Ich mag ja das filigrane feine ja sehr. Aber zum Kuckuck ist das eine friemelige Fummelsarbeit. Und dann ist es nicht im richtigen Abstand und die Perlennupsis verrutschen trotz 35 Knoten. Ischflippaus,ey!
Aber die Idee als solches find ich schon schön.

Das Bild zeigt eine dekorative Hängematte, die an einem Fenster angebracht ist. Die Hängematte besteht aus drei runden, transparenten Scheiben, die an einem dünnen, hellbraunen Stab befestigt sind. Zwischen den Scheiben sind kleine, runde Holzperlen angebracht. An der unteren Scheibe hängt ein weißes Federstück. Die Scheiben und die Perlen sind an einem dünnen, weißen Faden befestigt, der an den Fensterläden befestigt ist. Die Scheiben reflektieren das Licht und verleihen der Hängematte ein sanftes, weiches Aussehen. Im Hintergrund sind durch die transparenten Vorhänge grüne Blätter zu sehen, was auf eine natürliche Umgebung hinweist. Die Fensterläden sind in einem hellen Beige gehalten, was die dekorative Hängematte harmonisch in das Ambiente einfügt.

Sadly, the suggested installation method doesn't work for me. My Linux distro installs rust 1.46 - and you need at least version 1.55 for this installation method to work instead of failing with an error.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

This photo essay by Eva explores the significance of the random element in photography through accidental double exposures:

analog.cafe/r/lucky-mistakes-5…

"...millimetric coincidences in the lighting, the lens, the camera, the film, the energy. Things you could have never planned for in a million years — they all come into the mix to create an unexpected story. And this story can take a million shapes."

I like how she put this in words.

Lucky Mistakes

Among all the lucky mistakes I’ve managed to make in the years I’ve been doing film, some of which ended up being exhibition-worthy with a little help from the mysteries of the Universe; the ones that surprised me the most were the double or triple …
