The Wikipedia entry actually says 2, or something very similar:

> The rise of wages in jobs without productivity gains results from the need to compete for workers with jobs that have experienced productivity gains and so can naturally pay higher wages.

Supply of doctors doesn't go down only because hospital raise wages to compete with the new lucrative thing. There are plenty of people that want to become doctors, but only so many of them are people that you want to be doctors, and if you don't pay enough they'll do the lucrative thing.

You can have as much redundancy as you like on your RAID, but if you fat finger an rm -r it's all gone.

A real backup protects both against hardware faults and accidental deletion.

> Funny, how suddenly a tight, 1-2 sentence response on point is a sign of skill.

Wasn't it always?

Different DRM, the one in the kernel is Direct Rendering Manager, which is basically managing access to the GPU.

Yes, the keyword you are looking for is "tapparella motorizzata".

This happens on mine if I don't let the scale calibrate before the first measure. The scale turns on if you step on it, so it's tempting to just put both feet on in quick succession while the scale it's still off. That will give you a wrong reading. If you step off, the scale calibrates, and the next reading will be right.

You should get two equal readings if for the first one you push on the scale with one feet, take it off, wait a few seconds, then weigh yourself.

> People aren’t ASCII or UTF-8 machines; “e” and “E” are the same character

They are the same character to you, a native speaker of a Western language written in a latin script. They are the same to you because you are, in fact, an ASCII machine. Many many people in the world are not.

Case insensitive matching is a surprisingly complicated, locale-dependent affair. Should I.txt and i.txt match? (Note that the first file is not named I.txt).

Case insensitive filesystems make about as much sense as ASCII-only filenames.

The problem is real though. It stands to reason that the people that know how planes can be built safely are the one building planes; otherwise you could get in a situation where "those who know, build planes; those who don't, tell them how to do it".

There is a similar problem with financial regulation; my understanding is that the knowledge transfer between industry and regulation there is solved by the equally problematic "revolving doors", where people alternate between regulating and advising companies (and thus as regulators they don't want to make too many enemies).

Just call "Mum" and be done
