I don't think $10 gasoline would cause a ..."zombie apocalypse" level perturbation, but it would doubtless be bad.

I, perhaps surprisingly, agree wholeheartedly with your pet theory.

I have also read more than one (monetarist) economist who holds your pet theory, with a few modifications - the oil price spike was interpreted by the Fed as inflation so they did nothing to ease the money supply, worsening ( or some say starting) the whole shebang.
"I believe that concerns like this are why Apple will introduce the
"content blocking" extensions in iOS 9 and OS X 10.11. They enable the
most popular types of extension (ad blocking and privacy protection)
without letting extension code run in your browser."

Fully agree. We actually described exactly that mechanism in an early
version of our paper (declarative APIs), but didn't have enough space
to do it for the final version.

"While the tainted data approach sounds interesting, I don't think there's an easy way to guarantee the safeness of arbitrary code executed on your machine. It's possible to sandbox code, but as soon as you allow any communication at all, there's no automated way to prevent data theft."

It turns out, it is possible with information flow control (IFC). The
simple idea behind IFC is to protect data by labeling/tagging it and
restricting code according to the kinds of labeled data it reads. Once
code in an execution context (e.g., iframe or process) reads some
labeled data, IFC restricts where it can further communicate. In the
simplest form: once you read data that is SECRET, you can't write to
any PUBLIC communication channel. (You can, of course, write to a
SECRET channel.)

Use PyPICloud or DevPI to host your built binaries. Wheels have another advantage that you don't install any dev tools in your production environments (no need for compiler tools). The only annoying thing is that there isn't any way to distinguish between different Linux distributions, so hopefully all your servers are standardized.
As in most cases related to security/privacy, the common user often lacks knowledge about what all this means. They've found an extension with a nice looking logo and a good description that says it will replace ads with pictures of cats - and that's exactly what they want.

In Chrome, you'll get a small popup box where you need to approve the extensions permissions. Things like "This extension can read and edit all the pages you visit" - but there's no further information about what this means. If there were an extended view, where different permissions were explained, the cat loving user might start to wonder why the extension requires permissions to read all their history, clipboard, cookies, etc.

In the end, a lot of users will just click the OK button without reading anything. But there's still a greater chance of helping users make a decent choice when they understand what they're installing.

It is only a partial solution. You need the pip and virtualenv packages along with a private PyPI repository. Binary wheels make it so that you don't have to clutter any environments except for build servers with compilers and other build tools. There's still the problem that Linux wheels don't differentiate on distribution, so you will hit problems if you build on one distribution and try to deploy on a very different one.

Mass surveillance may simply be less useful. There are people that use the fact that 'it works' as an argument pro-surveillance. I don't agree with that argument but it gets used quite frequently. Now imagine how bad it would be if all this mass surveillance went on and it wasn't even effective. That's no way to get a bigger budget next year.

So Snowden and Campbell are likely correct and those that argue that 'it works' could very well be wrong at the same time.

Five steps:
1) Read good writing, especially in the genre in which you want to write.

2) Write first drafts. I prefer to think of it as vomiting words to a page.

3) Edit. Ultimately, this is what will make the writing good.

4) Get good feedback. Have a small group of people you work well with give you constructive feedback. They have to be invested enough to care and closely read one or more drafts.

5) Talk with people about the technical topics. This can help you clarify your thinking.
The labor force participation rate was 62.6% as of June.

That's the same rate as what we had in the late 1970s and early 1980s, before women were more fully into the work force. It's about 2.5% to 3% lower than what was considered healthy for about 25 years. Half of that drop can easily be explained by boomers rapidly exiting the work force.

The U6 has dropped dramatically, from 18% to 10.x%, and there has been seven million full-time jobs created in about 3.5 years.

We clearly have a tighter labor market - just not tight enough yet.

What's a democracy in your book? Who's `we', and were they ever a democracy?
The Apple IIgs was the last and the best of the Apple II line, which had a cherished place at the heart of what we might now call hacker culture. Remember the first Apple II predated the first IBM PC by four years! Each platform had a different set of enthusiasts, and at least early x86 PCs were more business-centric.

I wouldn't compare the Apple IIgs to an 386 PC. It's not really a fair comparison; the poor IIgs would be outclassed. It's 2.8 MHz 65C816 processor was 16 bits and introduced in 1983.

The 386 benefited from two years of technological advances when it was introduced in 1985, and had 32-bit registers and a 32-bit data bus (2^32 bits==4GB of physical RAM). It shipped at 16 MHz. (A better comparison would probably be the contemporaneous 68000 family vs. the x86 line.)

More broadly, Apple didn't have a lot of great options circa 1984-1985. The original Mac was slow, black and white only, didn't support hard drives, etc., but at least enjoyed a modern architecture. The Apple II was still selling well, and bankrolling Mac development, but was falling behind its x86-based rivals (yay 64KB bank switching!). So you keep the cash cow alive for a while longer with the IIgs until the Mac reaches critical mass.

Apple II enthusiasts still resent John Sculley & co (though Steve Jobs would probably have been more ruthless) for this betrayal. :)

>It doesn't help that businesses no longer need as many employees to get things done.

I don't think it's a catalyst either. By and large, businesses that are shedding employees are doing so because they can outsource the labor or because demand is low.

>Compare profits per employee at new companies like Airbnb to old companies like Hilton.

Profits per employee is a terrible measure. Airbnb doesn't require a lot of employees because they've essentially outsourced the labor to their customers. The house you're staying in wasn't cleaned by them, but it was probably cleaned by somebody. You were greeted by somebody that wasn't them also. That's not automation; that's arbitrage.

Hilton hotels probably raised their profits per employee by contracting out their cleaning to agencies.
That was exactly my thought through the whole article. Also do the eggs look black, too?

We can argue about automation, and the cheapest way to make process a product, but there's a limit. America crossed that line awhile ago--in my world.

>There are multiple factors involved in changes to labor supply and demand.

There are multiple factors, but that doesn't change the fact that the effect robots have is pretty negligible. It is a scapegoat for rising unemployment, not a reason.

There is, also, just one overriding reason, which I mentioned.

>Chickens being shipped to china for butchering and then shipped back to the states for sale being an example of a job not historically offshore-able.

Possibly partly because only recently did American chicken butchers realize that instead of tossing the feet away, they could sell them to the Chinese, who absolutely adore them.

Well I am an MBA(IT)[+ Mechanical Engg.], and right now I am managing some 15+ people engg team. I can very confidently say that being an MBA has helped me a lot. It gave me an insight in being a leader and made my job of managing a engineering team easy.

However I started my career as developer and have spent 7+ years in developing complex systems. The one difference I could always notice was leadership/initiative distinction between me and other developers and I used to think why these guys are not able to manage their time and guide their juniors. Simply they were not able to think beyond code(I am not generalising but the pattern I noticed with obvious exceptions).
This is an exaggerated title with little to back it up for many reasons some clear ones being;

1) People tend to opt-in for this stuff. Be this loyalty programs or agreeing to cookies on a website (see UK cookie notification policy). This is a commonly accepted personal choice even if a user doesn't entirely understand what they are agreeing.

2) There is a hell of a lot of money in measurement/advertising. Any attempt to stop this will come with significant lobby from many major corporations and advet companies.

2) Free works. Do you think people will move on mass away from free services like gmail/hotmail/Facebook and pay $10/mth when they can get it free in exchange for some tracking?

4) General apathy - consider the mass society reaction, or lack of reaction, to the Snowden revelations. Sure people don't like surveillance but the're not that fussed at the end of the day

4) There's nothing nefarious about what marketers are doing. Lawmakers will recognise that. The goal is to get relevant ads in front of you. And this is a good thing. It's better than better than blokes seeing tampon ads, kids seeing beer ads and and girls seeing beard grooming products.

Where I feel we will see changes is;

1) Stronger and more coverage on opt-in/out rules.

2) Rules about transfer/selling data regardless of the fine print we hit 'I agree" to. E.g. Businesses like banks are tying in with a loyalty programs to enrich each others data. We should really have a choice. Aggregated data, who cares, but if someone can plug in your email address and see the last 50 items you bought type thing will get greater protection on how saleable this information is between organisations.

Even e.g. SBCL which is an AOT lisp runs into the issue if you share the C stack (needed for FFI) with the lisp control stack. On targets with few registers (i.e. not SPARC or Power) it uses a conservative GC that pins any memory pointed to on the control stack, and a precise GC for all heap objects.
scala's call-by-name is often used for implementing control-flow like structures, so you can understand why they would want to be able to evaluate it more than once. Having said that, there are so many situations where it can be surprising, I'd probably have had a rule that you have to use {} to indicate call-by-name arguments at call site.

How does it feel to be a ‘grey entrepreneur’?

Exactly. That's because the assumption that "extensions which deal with sensitive information are perfectly safe as long as they do not disseminate this sensitive information arbitrarily" is wrong. It doesn't just have access to information but to functionality too. So an extension which is supposed to make your bank's website less sucky, can send you money to someone else. Though, of course, the purposed approach could limit the impact (to one site only) of such extensions.
It'd be cool to see rebase covered. Feel like that's the only big one missing.
