While all political parties are sheding alligator tears over this why are they not coming together to Raise the minimum wage?

TFA is written by a guy who took the job to collect anecdotes to write a book to show how miserable life is for low wage earners and now it is time to market the book. Sorry but I am skeptic about this article and think it is an exaggeration. At the same time if it is true why are folks not simply resigning and going to a better job? It is a free country isn’t it? Why is minimum wage still so low and why are all political parties not coming together to raise it?

Yes many people won’t understand this article it but there is a strong and subtle point that Balaji makes. It is the power that technology brings to the common people. Technology will one day make food shelter healthcare clothing ie all the basic necessities so automated and so cheap that everyone can be guranteed free access to these basic needs. Already certain countries have started experimenting with annual basic income. This does not stop people from excelling or working hard to do better but will help us to stop worrying about going homeless or going broke just because one loses ones job. This is where technology can take us and this is what we dream about. Thank you.

I don't like the fact that old data will continue to use the old engine after the upgrade.

I don't know and I don't care. I don't think she cares about caste etc. But she is pretty aggressive like she will come and shout at your face and undermine you.

Millenials are unknowingly signing up for slavery and throwing away all the hard earned labour rights in the name of being more agile.

la6470 — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 06:44:20 +0000

They have a volume agreement with the postal services. So for example every month they pay 100$ for shipping 100 items. However if some month they have only shipped 90 items they still have room to include another 10 items no matter what they sale it for. The real story is that they are giving things for free and no one can beat them. How do I know this? Just through some rational thinking.

Yeah? Go to a place like China or India where there is no place to park your car. Nowadays almost everyone in the world have a car so we need place to park. If you don't want to own a car it is your problem. The new generation is losing independence FAST....

All new monitoring systems should be named YAMF-X (Yet Another Monitoring Framework)

Jokes aside.. while the stream processing on events seem powerful there was something similar in graphite but probably not as advanced or easy to use. However the push approach brings its own limitations specially on existing setups.

It is sad situation but it is true for all races and nationalities. Low skilled work will be valued less and less. A structure of extended family is important which modern society has forgotten.

Yeah and also some people like to use the f word liberally in office to prove a point or speak some American slang to sound cool. I don't like it and I send memo to HR on each one of them.

Instead of solving the problem or urban overpopulation, high real estate prices we are a new generation foolishly celebrating these kinds of toys that little by little is chipping away our personalities. The new generation is indeed globally slave labour.
