If one is in a non-routine job that requires creativity, the human touch, synthesizing (currently) difficult concepts together, etc. then the job market is going to be great for a while. Software developers (particularly, as several recent papers indicate) with great communication skills and high emotional intelligence, "designers" (used very broadly - could be anything from art design to system design), marketers, artists of various kinds (though this will be subject to the superstar effect), politicians, certain kinds of teachers (I'm including everything from the creators of tutorials to Sal Khan-types) and various types of business owners/managers will be in good shape for a while. Anyone in these categories willing to become non-stop learn-for-lifers (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/22/business/to-stay-relevant-...) will likely be OK. So yes, your negotiating position may actually improve a great deal.

If one is in an a "routine" job (as defined by Autor), one should be thinking very carefully about the next few decades. Upskilling, becoming autodidacts, and most importantly agitating for political change will be things that this group needs to engage in (the former two to stay relevant; the latter to keep eating.)

And on the topic of register checkout manager, you can easily see the natural progression towards the elimination of the profession entirely.

The registers get more self sufficient as the software matures. The security systems become cheaper and more accurate to eliminate the lackluster security effect a clerk has standing there. The clerk is removed entirely. Then the shelf stocking is automated with computer vision and maybe magnetized sticker guide rails in the floors.

And then people realize its stupid to go to a store to buy stuff when you can virtually tour a mall of everything and have whatever you want shipped to you. You order it, it goes through computers without ever interacting with a person, and a manufacturer ships you it instantly.

And that process gets automated too. The transport goes from self driving autos transporting your goods using standardized automated transfer mechanisms to your automated mailbox to a fabricator in your own home that comes from Star Trek.

None of that (besides the fabricator part at the end, thats going a bit heavy) is nothing novel or even new. It exists. It just takes market pressure and time to make it economical to implement and for culture to accept it. Because it is more efficient, and it will inevitably happen because its better in every way except the "but people aren't doing it!" angle. It does not take AI sentience to move boxes or see dirt on a floor through dictionary lookup and fuzzy logic processing.

Without an American-centric worldview, is there anything wrong with that moving of manufacturing jobs? It seems to be better for overall good in the world. It also serves American consumers who may get products cheaper.

If we allow somebody else's property to dictate our culture, then we're already bound to the owner anyway. We already accept this with recently produced movies/music/etc. I wouldn't even call that culture, just paid-for passive entertainment much like paying for a ride at an amusement park. Once you've used it, all you're entitled to is your memories.
> Maybe a return to artisans lovingly crafting luxury goods?

Return?

At no point in human history have more people been wealthier than today, even as a percent of the population. Today, the artisans are already the rich who need not fend for their survival. Never has there been a time where the major of people need not sweat their brow to eat the next day, at least according to the economics of their time.

The rich have always enjoyed the luxury to pursue whatever interested them, including culture. And like I said, despite the doom and gloom, we have more rich people today than ever. Its just we also have way more poor working class who are getting worse with no correction in sight or reason.
Facebook (the service) itself can maintain the company as is, but they have ads on Instagram at least. FB currently makes several dollars per user per quarter in revenue (or profits), with that value depending on what number you go by, but the smallest number you could pick is 1B+. No business is guaranteed to last forever, but there is really no reason to think that they have any real trouble ahead.

There are market makers, and there are Market Makers. In practice, the registration may simply be a formalization of an existing trading system, or a very light obligation on top of the existing system.

From the document that you listed, it looks like NYSE Arca has a requirement for 100% continuous quoting, but the quotes can be 8% away from the current market price (section 7.23.a.1). This is basically a free pass; nobody wants to trade against a quote that wide. For reference, take the most liquid ETF: SPY trades above $150 and regularly has a $0.02 spread, one THOUSAND times tighter than the 8% requirement.

On other exchanges, there are requirements for tight quotes, but they usually come with relaxed requirements on quoted time. For instance, maybe a market maker could be required to quote "90% of the time within a 0.5% spread". In such a scenario, allowing market makers to pull quotes for 10% of the day is basically giving them a free pass on the most volatile points of a day.

I have seen very few situations where registered/designated Market Makers are obligated to suicide themselves to provide liquidity; there's usually an "out". In practice, the top-tier HFT market makers (de-facto) are already exceeding the obligations required of Market Makers (registered).
Not really related, but why are laymen using the word "app" to describe the service or company that operates around the mobile app? I hear this commonly: "Use the Uber app to get to the airport", "I'm a frequent seller on the eBay app".
> What is out of the ordinary is the public markets' reaction?

But is it? Maybe the public is realizing that tweets were just a cool fad for a while. For twitter to be profitable, I am guessing, there has to be people that want to use it, and (very important) people believing that people want to use it (so they'd pay Twitter for advertising).

Compare with Google. Google provides something momre back (gmail, search, calendar, docs, photo storage, directions + many other things I forgot about).

Twitter provides 140 status messages. There is nothing wrong it, that is very cool. But I think there is a realization that it just isn't as cool as it was in 4 years ago. And it just became 3% less cool.

Dam, always getting down voting for stating an opinion. What's up with that. (By the way, I actually read the article.)
Uh, most of that money was from the IPO and that was probably done because founders/early investors wanted to cash in. I'd say the vast majority of that funding was not necessary to scale to where they are today.
You repeatedly appeal to one specific irrationality, and don't explain why that irrational behavior (as opposed to many others) will occur.

Nor do you explain why redistribution is necessary. Assuming the masses can control law enforcement well enough to impose redistribution, why can't the masses also simply prevent the rich from harming them and form their own economy? Let me guess - more finely tuned irrationality?

It seems like your alleged irrationalities conspire in odd ways to make your very specific policy prescription the only possible solution. [edit: my mistake on this paragraph, I did indeed confuse you with another poster.]

Ask HN: Does the Herman Miller Mirra 2 white frame get dirty easily?
I'm about to buy a Herman Milla Mirra 2 chair and am stuck between two color schemes.

The first, safe option is all black for ease of maintenance sake. I wouldn't really have to worry about visible stains and discoloration over time and could be a little more "reckless" with it, if you will.

The second option, the one I really want, is black back & seat with a white frame (http://imgur.com/a/oJ7ti). My only concern with this scheme is the amount of upkeep it might take to keep it clean. I plan on keeping this chair for years to come, so that's why the amount of maintenance plays a big role.

Does anyone have experience with a white Mirra 2? Do they get dirty easily or am I being ridiculous?

...I just want to make sure I get something I'm happy with. Any advice would be much appreciated.

In what way does the vtable being attached to the value cause different semantics (what you describe sounds like an implementation detail)? In particular, you can have Box<TraitObject> which has effectively identical semantics to TraitObject; yes, it's a fat pointer, but from the perspective of the trait itself there's no way to tell that this is the case. Anyway, the only ways I can think of to usefully differentiate the fat from a thin pointer in a parametric function are those in which Rust already fails to have proper parametricity for any type (including being able to access its type_id).
If you posit that institutionalization is not good for children, something that I think is probably uncontroversial (but come on HN, give me your best shot), you have a bunch of interesting externalities from the adoption system, especially the international adoption system.

In particular, kids in most Geneva convention countries need to 'time out' of their domestic processes, so they are institutionalized longer, sometimes years longer than a local adoption would have been. They are also very often 'damaged goods' depending on the country of origin -- babies with unproblematic histories get adopted quickly some places.

For whatever reason, upper-middle-class adoptive families seem to me to trend international (and we did that in our case); the gap there might be exaggerated even further over a lower income family doing a local adoption. The article and / or studies cited could be living with these sorts of correlative issues unless very carefully considered and designed around; nothing in the article made me think that level of detailed consideration had been accomplished by the author, though.

No, stock markets do not perform the same function as grocery stores. Grocery stores take on inventory risk by purchasing (in bulk) the goods that they think they can sell. If their inventory goes unsold or spoils, they lose. Stock markets provide a _venue_ for trading, but it is the market maker which takes on the inventory risk. An appropriate analogy would be that the grocery store is renting from a separate property owner. The property owner collects rent from the grocery store, just as stock markets collect "rent" (trading fees, colocation fees, system access fees) from market makers. In both cases, the inventory risk is managed by the middleman (grocery store, market maker).
Just because you don't derive utility from a product doesn't mean it's not 'real' tech. Twitter is basically the news medium for me and most of my friends at school. I cannot remember the last time I went to read a news article from a site other than (mostly) twitter.

Can you tell me about any experiences with 1Password and IE ?

I've been a huge fan of the technical capabilities of Lastpass in general - I have many desktops and syncing generated passwords works great.

But it's never been something I could push to my business customers because it's never worked reliably under IE[0][1][2]. When I've bought this up in other forums, I only get the "oh.. using IE is dumb" sort of response, which is completely unhelpful for your average business. But it's an attitude I've often wondered if Lastpass had, based on their regular release cycles being heavily skewed away from IE[3].

0,1 and 2 are easily replicated in my environments:

Any company that operates at web scale is a technology company. Besides that look at their opensource contributions. Twitter has/had some impressive engineering talent.
Not trying to be snarky, but when have you ever seen a company do "surgical" layoffs? Anything across the board is not surgical by definition. This is just a plain, simple RIF to stem the losses. There's nothing surgical about it. Surgical would imply killing off specific teams and products. This is across the board.

Did WhatsApp have much in the way of storage needs? I don't think that they did. This is where the cost goes, durability. They were basically just a giant switchboard with some buddy lists (aka glorified MSN Messenger with SMS gateways). It's no wonder they were able to keep costs down and grow. They didn't have a lot of storage and persistence needs, just passing datagrams around the Internet between phones.

Edit: My apologies if I've offended the HN mystique surrounding the god-like status of WhatsApp. Ask Jan yourself, they weren't geniuses. I know Jan. He won't claim to be this exalted persona.
I hated the idea of twitter for a long time because I thought it was the shitty part of facebook (incessant updates from people whom I don't care about) x 10, because it's just a feed.

But since I started really getting into it last year, I've become so much more knowledgeable by following the best entrepreneurs, VCs, anyone with interesting insight. It's a surprisingly pure channel of news/knowledge if you use it correctly and not go on a follow spree.

It's definitely not the place for social networking as far as communicating with friends/family goes.
I think it's still interesting because the common assumption is that it shouldn't be possible at all. If you drop one apple you expect it to fall. If it doesn't then it's time to up your sample size and do further testing.
Indeed. My first thought was "Are tech companies trying to poach these folks in order to try and deconstruct what cues they're using, and/or to create a corpus of verified matches from low-quality source?"
So if we have a distributed Galt's Gulch (e.g. some expensive towers in NYC and SF), how does that change things? How does a rich person owning a brownstone on my block prevent me from selling my labor to other non-rich people?

When you discuss rich people owning inner cities, those inner cities have value because people want to live in them and have resources to trade for the right to live there. In this hypothetical dystopia, no one will have any resources to trade for living space, so those inner cities will become valueless. (Or perhaps the rich will enjoy walking through uninhabited cities.)

There is plenty more land available at low cost in other locations - Detroit, Kansas, etc. What prevents the non-rich folks from building their own industrial complexes and inner cities in those locations? The rich and their robots can entirely occupy the abandoned city of Manhattan, but what prevents non-rich people from buying up $5,000 houses in Detroit and building a new utopia there?

How will the rich make any profit? The premise underlying this conversation is that the labor of the non-rich humans is completely worthless. Robots do everything they can do for less money.

So the rich may swoop in, use robots to produce goods for their own consumption, and then leave. But how does this prevent non-rich humans from producing goods for other non-rich humans? The rich have no incentive to compete with those human producers, since the consumers have nothing of value to buy with.

You seem to be suggesting that the rich will direct their robots to fulfill the needs of non-rich humans for no personal gain. Is that correct?

I agree with you 100%, but it does make me think. Every Linux installation I've done in the last five or so years has been either under ESXi, or on AWS.

I'm sure I'm not alone in that, and that's a trend that's going to continue to grow.

Both explicit (thumbs up/down) and implicit (click-aways / closing window) may count toward quality.

There are other confusing cases. I watch a lot of long-form videos, some too long to view in a single session, many of which I download for offline viewing (yt-download). I've been quite actively dissuaded from either publicly rating videos, or even linking to YouTube itself on my primary social channel (G+) given the Anschluss forced-marriage between YouTube, G+, and what had once been individual and separate accounts (similar logic applies to Google Play, and I've taken to "registering" my Android devices under randomly generated usernames).

For videos I particularly like, I may reference them, but only specific portions which I skip to, view, and then close. That's far less than a 100% view, but still significant.

It's not that I'm opposed to providing appropriateness and quality data to YouTube. I absolutely give massive shits about who they share that data with, and how. The "make it all public" default is utterly fucked in the head.

I think Google are starting to realise that.

That implies the whole concept of developing nations is bad and we should try to prevent it. All of them have worker exploitation to some extent.
