The chart is ultra-deceptive because it isolates one variable and ignores all the other attendant charts which indicate massive generational loss of wealth. If real income per hour has actually increased, the marginal lifestyle gain from that increase is beyond a doubt, zero.

Millenials own far fewer cars and homes than their parents ever did, in addition to having less (typically negative, due to debt) net worth. To reiterate, if millenials were to liquidate all of their assets (of which they have none anyway), they would still be in the hole for huge sums. I am fairly certain that my parents never had negative net worth; I know for a fact that they also had much more substantial savings and spending ability in their 20s despite coming from humble backgrounds and working menial jobs.

This isn't about keeping up with the Joneses, it's about reaching zero rather than being in the negative.

EDIT: And, as the other replier so far mentioned, millenials consume very little healthcare while being forced by law to spend vast sums to merely have the ability to spend more money (via high deductible plans) to get shitty quality care. For a time in the previous generation's course, it was normal to have mental health care as part of the standard of care, which has slipped away from us-- now, mental healthcare is barely consumed, and is ludicrously expensive when it is covered under the paltry plans at all.

The title is missing a key bit. A better title might be, "Why the oil price in US dollars and the US dollar are negatively correlated."

But then the answer to that is too obvious to bother writing about, so I guess the article tries to obfuscate it.

Naturally, for anything where the US is not the dominant producer, its price in dollars will correlate negatively with the value of dollars. Oil isn't special.
From that description, it sounds like there's barely enough rocket there to succeed. A sample size of 4, no statistics yet possible about whether its getting better or not?

Is there anything similar that works as a service / daemon that uses rules to move new messages into folders?

Working with multiple email hosts, each which has there own flakey rules engine, can result in inconsistent routing. I would love something I can run on my own server that would move messages on mail hosts before my various email clients are used to read them.

>dominance could be attributed to quality. The truth is that most children's books are "bad"

I couldn't agree more. We get about ten to fifteen children's books a week from the library and I'm utterly amazed that most have been published. The ones that are part of a more common series are usually much better. The llama llama mad at mama sort of books. Dr Suess definitely falls into this higher quality bracket. Many times I have wondered if they spend more time writing the about author section then they do the book. I see this as a market that could use some serious improvement.
I agree as well; I was confused as to how they benefited from switching away from Karma as a test runner. It seems that they simply replaced PhantomJS with jsdom, but in the process they lost Karma, which means that they can't run their test suite on other browsers.

Also, from first glance, I'm unable to see a performance improvement by not using Karma. It may be because they're using more tests in Mocha, but the difference isn't huge considering they're losing a lot of functionality.

The New Shepard is just getting up to space rather than all the way to orbit. If you'll recall SpaceS's Grasshopper was just as uncanny in it's landings. Now, the New Shepard has a harder job since it's going to space so it's much more impressive than Grasshopper that they succeeded. But by the same token a Falcon 9 first stage has much thinner mass fractions to work with and has to deal with horizontal velocity so landing one of those is much more impressive still.

My grandfather was a carpenter working in a factory that made piano benches. He worked there his entire career.

He was in his early fifties when he retired and was actually retired longer than he worked in terms of time, and when he died he still had 6 digits in assets (not including his house.) He didn't do anything special except live modestly, save, and buy stocks.

Who can say they'll have the same experience working a blue collar job today?

Something tells me you haven't actually tried to do that. No bank is going to lend 970k with such little equity.

The only program that does do that, FHA, have loan limits and in SF for a single family home that is about 625k...

BUT, in hot markets like SF and the east coast, no seller is going to accept your offer with only 3% down because of the risk the lender having an LTV issue and the sale falling apart. In markets like NYC, Boston, DC, SF, etc you need to come in with a) offer over ask b) at least 20% down.

Most who took her class would agree her curriculum was a resounding success, even after she also taught us to break the rules.)
Well this is delightfully terrifying. Neural Networks that can create environments and people on their own.
It's all true and yet not true at the same time. Each item on the list has valid business requirements and is needed.

For example, the backdoors are required by government, and Microsoft is not above the government and cannot really refuse if it is a legal requirement for national security. They're not exactly designed as backdoors either - mandatory security updates are necessary to prevent the spread of botnets. There is a valid argument that users should not be allowed to stop these essential security updates. Unfortunately, there are far more changes than only security updates.

DRM is pretty much required for Microsoft to be able to get into distributing media for a fee. The same applies to a lot of the rest - it's all for being competitive in a world where Apple and Google are doing the same thing.

However, that they are all legitimate doesn't actually change that it really is malware at the end of the day and this page is pretty much true.

Jeff Bezos Brags on Rocket Landing with Mic Drop First Tweet
You're mixing and matching the vague "as much as most tech workers" with the quite specific statement about their incomes relative to a bus driver in the early 80s.

I'm at a multiplier between 2-4x U.S. median household income and based on listings I see I feel that range is very good but not "oh my gosh howdeedodat?!?" for developers. Hired.com, for instance, sets the floor for jobs it will show right around 1.5x median income ($75k).

Real wages in the economy are stagnant and we in technology may be sitting on the sundeck of a sinking ship so I understand the "higher up in the stack but the stack is collapsing" aspect of your argument. That said, I totally disagree that a bus driver in 1981 was better off than a software developer in 2015 - there's just no way that makes any sense.

Not kidding here, but one of the most helpful things my Dad ever told me as a teenager was "You probably won't have the same standard of living as we've had while you were growing up" because he made good money in a specialized, unionized profession. He saw, first-hand, how his employment and skills were being cheapened not by competition, but by globalization mentalities, which, in his words (paraphrased) "Isn't about bringing them up, but bringing our standard of living down." Oh, and his ever present suspicion of "management" which, history eventually proved true, wanted to take money from his profession and give it to themselves and "investors" - which did happen (I won't go into details but it was staggering).

It was through these discussions and sharing of perspective - just one man's view of the world - that I was taught to value health, happiness, and appreciate a life not defined by the materialism that could've been a real sink-hole for me if I'd tried to achieve even greater "status" than he did.

Just to put a last bit of context on it, every five years of so my parents would think about getting a used Corvette convertible, but they could never justify what seemed like such a wasteful purchase...by comparison, my Dad drove a 1991 Ford Ranger pickup, purchased new, babied as a second vehicle, until eventually selling it with 80,000 miles on it for 3x the book value sometime around 2010.

I'm a big-time car guy and have dreamed of a Lamborghini Countach since forever. But now, having lived in the "real world" for over a decade, I'm just happy to have a nice 4-banger Toyota with good air conidtioning, tinted windows that gets 30 mpg when I keep my foot out of it. Looking at 2008, all I can think about is how greed is a terrible, toxic basis for a value system.

"Microsoft cut off security fixes for Windows XP, except to some big users that pay exorbitantly. (...)

A person or company has the right to cease to work on a particular program; the wrong here is Microsoft does this after having made the users dependent on Microsoft, because they are not free to ask anyone else to work on the program for them."

Microsoft did not make anybody dependent on them, and should have zero obligation to open source Windows XP. There are thriving alternatives to Windows like OS X, Android, Chrome OS, and iOS that XP users could have moved to in the last 14 years.
The point is definitely true of all US-dollar commodities (which is basically every commodity price out there). I wrote the article, actually, in response to a question from a reader of our email who was confused when I wrote: "commodities are priced in US dollars, so their price goes down as the US dollar goes up." I had initially thought perhaps that this concept was, as you say, more obvious than it actually appears to be for many people.

> your tests become more complicated than the tested code

Well, then don't tdd that code on unit level. Keep some high-level(smoke, integration etc) tests that executes it , relax and write/design it without TDD the best way you can.

> Tests affecting the structure - this is IMO a strong code smell.

Yes, and this smell (by definition) shows you a flaw in the code design. TDD helped to identify this. Apparently)

Just a quick informal poll if its allowed.

For users/people who think you are "worse off" vs back then, could you let us know which country you are in?

For users who grew up in Asia/developing countries, I would think the young nowadays have a lot more opportunities/chances to strike it rich.

What seems to be occurring at this stage = there used to be a income/price discrepancy for work done, solely because most work had to be performed by locals. The main change now is a lot more of this work can be given/outsourced to employees who have lower wages in developing countries.

It would be interesting to see the results of the poll.
