The problem is its very hard to tell a plausible sounding about what over artificially high production looks like. If you lived in an island economy and went from producing 100 widgets to producing 95. What exactly is artificial about the extra 5 widgets you supplied? You could argue that people were incentivized to work harder than they actually wanted to work but then you find a wage increase as we entered the recession. You could argue that technology got worse. But that's really strange because it doesn't seem like in 2008 we forgot how to efficiently make things. So that leaves the story Larry Summers is talking about.
I'm not asking for the dictionary definition, I'm asking about why vigilante justice (whether you want to call the participants vigilantes or not) would be less troublesome.

For example, imagine I've discovered Starbucks is doing terrible things, and to express my disgust I go around throwing bricks in the windows of the Starbucks in my area. What prevents/discourages this sort of vigilante behaviour?

I end up on EMB-145 or 175s frequently, going through mid-sized airports a lot. I love them.

- Boarding the whole plane takes ~10 minutes, compared to an interminable 30-40 minutes of waiting in line for a 737.

- 2-2 or 1-2 seat configurations means you don't have to crawl over 2 people to use the restroom

- Deboarding is just as fast as boarding, so I don't miss connections

- No gate available? No problem! Get off on the tarmac and walk a couple feet, it won't kill you.

I can only hope more airlines move towards small planes over medium-haul distances, with fewer connections.

My wife grew up on a mesa in New Mexico - White Rock, near Los Alamos. She reports exploring as a child with neighbor kids. They found stone houses with intact pottery inside, wooden frames and tools. The kids messed with them, then the boys knocked everything down and threw the pots over the side of the mesa. Nothing left but a few broken fragments today.

We'll be running out of places for archaeologist to explore one day.

You can't really have it both ways. We can't have automation, competitiveness, efficiency, a move way from the consumerist lifestyle, etc and expect 1970's style employment levels. Not to mention, at lot of the jobs from that era were back-breaking and dangerous manufacturing jobs. These weren't desirable jobs and many of the people who had them did their best to work their way out of them via retraining, college, moving to management, etc.

Keeping everyone employed is just a fool's errand this late in the capitalism game. More "make work" jobs isn't the solution here. Ideally, this is the narrative we need to start spreading. Things like minimum guaranteed income shouldn't be shameful concepts to push.

Jake was built for news articles and prerendered all pages. News staff was able to quickly localize templates (10+ lanuages, 20+ products). That was 1999 when we didn't use Javascript or CSS, tested pages on Netscape Navigator 2 and WML (for mobile phones) became hot topic. Later Jake was misused for all kinds of other products mainly because of locali[sz]ation, permission management etc. Yeah, debugging was hard.
It was the right tool at that point in time to handle high requests-per-second. Yahoo hired Rasmus Lerdorf and switched to PHP starting 2002.
20% more lead in the construction offset by the decreased weight of no safety equipment.

Actually it was advertised to have better fuel economy than some variants of the 737, but it doesn't really appear to be much of an improvement. Just China's answer to the 737 and A320 as far as I can see.
It's a fine line. Newspapers were always partly entertainment; their goal is to get read so they can sell advertisement. You wouldn't have crosswords and comics and the NYT style section otherwise. A bit of infotainment is okay, when done in an ethical manner, as I think is the case here; Voltaire and Karl Kraus were doing something similar.

Now, when it verges on disinformation, like Geraldo or the NYT style section and their silly trend articles...

Isn't the problem that he did breathe after shouting to those men, and then died? What if you remove your mask, shout, and don't breathe back in?
Yeah that's great just as long as the API calls dont change.
Not to mention that both 737 and A320 are fully depreciated, highly optimized cash cows. It takes decades for a plane to reach that stage, and both Boeing & Airbus can mass produce them with their eyes closed.

As with many other "value added" Chinese products, it might make inroads in "friendly markets" such as Asia and Africa, but will have a very hard time competing in the huge European and American (as in the continents) markets.
Bloomberg was a really targeted news institution. It deliberately is not just that anymore.

Ok, we can start qualifying what 'value' means. Adding 'intrinsic' distances the conversation from the common meaning of value, which is 'what you can get for it'.

Again, insisting that appreciation is rooted in anything but what the market does, is hard to buy into.

There are two things that I see often confused: legalization vs decriminalization and to me they mean different things.

The problem is the users and the traders are often lumped together (and sure there are users that trade too). Tackle the traders but leave the users alone. This will still drive up prices and will still force some people into crime (but other crimes than mere possession) but it would be a good first step towards treating substance abuse (and that includes alcohol by the way) as a personal problem rather than a crime.

That does not automatically translate into 'crack and heroin should be available at the corner store'. Nor does it translate into a free pass for traders or producers.
I agree, the reference to depression was just to reference an emotional state that is part of our emotional vocabulary.
Docker: A Simple, Powerful Approach to APIs
Intentionally.
This is exactly what Dreamweaver templates do. You define the template files with editable areas, then you create individual pages based on the template files. When you change a template, Dreamweaver regenerates all the page files to reflect the change. It's all done in HTML with no weird compilers or parsers needed. SFTP the files into your public webroot and you're done.

This was one of the original "static site generators". And it's still used today, for example by the Smithsonian for some of their museum sites.

Only really Dassault left to fill that sequence and they don't compete directly in that market any more ( though their Mercure fuselage lives on in the A320 series. Marcel Bloch wanted something wider than the 737 for marketing purposes ).

The "D"s appear to be cursed; de Havilland Canada, Dornier and ( McDonnell )-Douglas have all disappeared since 2000.
Just a FYI but Bloomberg has significantly changed their editorial direction recently. Think some senior editor left or something. I really don't mind because it does not seem that their standard news coverage has suffered as a result and I can easily avoid things but yeah.
I think the point of mbrutsch's comment is that part of why mental health is so terrible in the US is that we do a terrible job empathizing with people who suffer from it. Instead of seeing the internal logic of suicide, we force ourselves into a naive optimism. It's the same prudishness that people have with respect to sex.

To engage and promote mental health, it is better to try and see where people are coming from. Admitting that it is a rational option is not necessarily an endorsement. If you think it is, you need to reevaluate why you believe that all things rational are identical with all things good.
Friendly advice: you might want to double check your spelling when nitpicking on words...
I think the point they make isn't that it's harmless, it's that banning it doesn't stop people taking it and has a number of undesirable side effects.
Objectively, it is a little weird for Twitter to have its own bookmarking function, with a nice convenient list that you (or anyone) can refer to.

But that's exactly how I use "favorite". It's really useful, whether it's a cute picture I want to share with someone later or something more informative. "Like" does nothing for me; I don't always want to imply approval by clicking that button.
I was looking for the same thing, so I built it. It's a WordPress plugin that outputs a static copy of your site to a ZIP or a directory of your choice. The thought being that you put WordPress on a subdomain (e.g. wp.example.com) and have the main site (www.example.com) served by the static copy.

It's still a work in progress (it launched a little over a month ago) but the feedback so far has been positive.
It's because people understand how addiction ruins lives that they want to medicalize the problem instead of criminalizing it.

When you criminalize something, you push it underground and make it harder to treat; and when you do "treat" it, you do so with ineffective things like prison.
This looks interesting.

Thanks!
Except, no queuing, no estimate of when they'll get to you, no idea if anyone will ever show up at all.

Complaints about bad service are epidemic. I'm thinking there's room for disruption here.
> The hysterical "legalize everything" crowd

Except that "criminalize everything" makes it worse. By definition it creates crime (directly and indirectly), and the people who do need help are more likely to go to jail than to see a doctor.
If we were going to rank our priorities, they would be in this order:

1) Make mass surveillance impossible.
2) Stop targeted attacks against crypto nerds.

It's not that we don't find #2 laudable, but optimizing for #1 takes precedence when we're making decisions. It's totally possible for you to install Signal on an iPod touch with a VoIP number, for instance, but that takes more effort than the common case we're designing for.
Several months ago, after consulting with HN community (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9757243) what we can do with our startup, we open sourced our platform and now our team feels pretty well.
But after months, we see that powerful companies just silently use our software to solve there's needs and making no contributions. We accept small contributions, but we can't count on them as platform is much bigger than contributions.
We tried to write Wikipedia-like letter to ask for donations - doesn't work.
Tried to make consulting - eats too much time.
Now we releasing enterprise version (https://corp.actor.im) and we decided not to open sources of it as it is almost impossible to earn money without pushing people to pay. And pushing can be performed only with limitations that is, actually, harming people in some cases.
Does anyone know any other solution for this?

Alcohol itself is kind of an accident. If it was invented today we would never legalize it. First
- I partake and don't have a problem if other people do, and
- I don't think prohibition on any level would work with alcohol.

However I can't imagine how much better off humans would have been if it never existed or was completely toxic to us.
Google’s Inbox Can Now Respond Automatically
A lot of these same "legalize everything" people want a lot of money put into rehabilitation programs. Also, making this stuff illegal hasn't exactly proven to make it difficult to get- in fact, the highest growing segment of drug use for quite some time is prescription drugs, but even the full-on-illegal stuff isn't difficult to get in most neighborhoods.

For what it's worth, I'm more on the "decriminalize" side(ie, no jail time for simple possession, heavier fines/time for the sale/smuggling of significant quantities). Also, my own view may be biased from the fact that a parent was addicted to prescription opioids.
Land and other finite natural resources as private property is antithetical to the principles of a free market because the former allows an infinite amount of something to be purchased for a finite sum. Just like money, land has a time value. Geologists and geolibertarians call it "ground rent".

If we're going to have capitalism, we should at least fix this. Natural resources belong to the commons, and capitalist should pay market rate rent on those resources, the proceeds of which should be distributed to all or be used to fund commons costs (government).

Ask HN: In what order did the best and worst periods in your career come?
edit: I like that a modest amount of people have upvotes this, and thank you to the people who did respond, but just a very quick post mortem on 2 tine periods would be very helpful.

If you are a founder, employee, student, unemployed whatever, what moment or timeframe was would you say:

and

"the sick to your stomach, cold sweat, vomit in a trash can before work, abject failure monent/s in your life"

what order did they come.

What I'm looking for is a plugin that can make a entire Wordpress site static to freeze sites in time so they don't require Wordpress, PHP or MySQL.

Another workflow could be to use WordPress locally in a VM to edit, then generate a static site you upload through git or whatever to a bare minimum server.

Any plugin that fit the bill? I remember searching but never found something perfect.

"This is the first indicator that the plane has crashed,” said Jonathan Skinner, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College, who reviewed the study and co-authored a commentary that appears with it. “I don’t know what’s going on, but the plane has definitely crashed."

This basically sums up my fears. Whatever is going on, economics is at the root of it.
CTO of LaunchDarkly here. We kind of embrace it a little bit-- locavore booleans as a service.

But the real power behind the idea is not the ifdef piece, it's the idea of dynamic, context-aware configuration. You've got a user-friendly tool that can control the code paths being executed in your application without restarts or redeploys.

Author cost of living = $6667/month? Author has high rent, wife, 3 children, only eats the organic and gluten free, car repayments, college debt... maybe shouldn't be writing book now.

If author wants to make same money as work for corporate, no problem, but should say this directly, not say the dubious "cost of living".
"We need better antidepressants. We need antidepressants that create reliable, stable euphoria, not just an absence of debilitating depression that struggles to beat placebo.

But we need more than that. We need positive eugenics. We need to raise the IQ of the average human at least one standard deviation.

But the hedonic treadmill will grind on, and sustainable euphoric antidepressants might be impossible. And that will still leave 50% of the population miserable that they are in the bottom half."

And here you have made the case for a dystopia by suggesting that the human condition can and should be medicated away for the purposes of compliance. We already have a population that is heavily psychotropic drug-reliant in order to function, and the results aren't great. Stable euphoria is possible, just take up heroin injection.

The argument for eugenics is also problematic/impossible. The low IQ people are just as human as the high IQ people, and they can't simply be bred out peacefully because, surprise, the smarter people get the fewer children they have.

To offer a bit of perspective, I'd consider looking at societies that are less status-driven than the US as proof that blasting the public with medication isn't necessary with the economic/political tools of today. There are plenty of other places (Denmark or Nepal being good examples) where happiness is quite high, inequality is quite low, and the pyramid of status is much shorter and wider. People frequently want a sensation of fairness more than relative status; this is good especially because relative status is amorphously framed by the individual.

EDIT: I have read some of the literature at the website cited, and find it to be largely philosophically spurious techno-fantasy. On a very long view, we may need to address the question of abolishing human suffering entirely (an extremely optimistic speculation), but it's a premature conversation to have because the road between here and there will change the nature of the problem.
By fad, I meant that the frameworks change in the world of IoC, while DI is pretty much a concept easily applicable in OO languages.

You might want to look into CloudCannon (http://cloudcannon.com/). It's still an early product, but the idea is pretty cool. You auth CloudCannon to your Jekyll GitHub project and it exposes a Web GUI that allows content editors to do CRUD operations. CloudCannon then commits those changes directly to the repo. Then a GitHub webhook with something like Travis CI can build the site and deploy the changes.

This is great because it allows engineers to maintain a simple static website and content editors can use a web based GUI that is kind of like WordPress (though CloudCannon has a long way to go on the usability of its web GUI). We used CloudCannon at Hillary for America for a small project. It ended up not being the right tool for the job, but I definitely think there is a use case for CloudCannon and the team behind it is super open to feedback and iteration.
I use it the same way. But there have also been many times that I want to ACKNOWLEDGE that I enjoyed/liked/laughed at a tweet without polluting my favorites. A like button does just that.
However I don't like that they just switched the favorites over to likes. They should have added a new option and maybe hidden the favorite option a bit more (if it's that important to them).
I think the ones that use GDB will be able to take advantage of rr: Emacs, vim, maybe old versions of XCode. I don't think there are any Java IDEs that implement stepping backwards.
The world isn't looking away but rather ganging up on Indonesia. Those farmers own that land and its their right to do anything they want to it, in accordance with Indonesian law. Those trees trapped carbon from the atmosphere in the first place, so burning them is just releasing the same carbon. If somebody has a problem with that they can pay the farmers money to sustain themselves in otherways, e.g. I believe Norway pays Brazil to preserve the Amazon forests. Thats how Capitalism with private property rights works.
