This is really great. Even more interesting since I live in one of the very, very red parts in the south east so have a particular interest in how much my house is earning each year - a lot more than me, as it turns out.
This seems very reasonable to me. Why not essentially try to reverse engineer it? See what Ford can learn from Tesla.
I'm white and grew up in a near-western suburb of Chicago and have also noticed that white people were quick to adopt a black dialect. I'm not sure it was necessarily only correlated with the things you mentioned (partying, anger, etc...) but it definitely existed. People adopted a lot of slang words from the black community too, which can sound really unnatural coming from a rich white kid's mouth.

However, I don't think it was necessarily a result of people viewing black people negatively, in fact, it often seemed to be admiration. I could be wrong because I can't read minds but these were young kids that had been raised in an anti-racist environment, so suggesting that they were mimicking black culture because they secretly felt negatively about it isn't a convincing explanation for the entirety of it.
Maybe it wasn't clear. The transformation A(B) is one where "A" catalyses a change in fold of "B".

Why has SMTP evolved in all those years?

Email could handle much more automation, and be friendlier to on-demand inclusion in discussion threads, but AFAIK, it doesn't support a standard way to provide:

1. End-user controlled behaviour.

2. Whole-thread forwarding initiated by the end-user.

#1 would require a way to allow stantard plugins to be written, either by sysadmin or end-users. (Obviously, the capability and authorization of each would be different. End-user ones would only be allowed to touch end-user own emails.)

#2 would allow easier evolution of email threads.

I'm not talking about proprietary extensions to a particular SMTP implementation. I'm talking a standardized protocol addition to support these scenarios.

Am I missing something? Were changes to SMTP ever attempted?

The issue is a bit more complex than that (and I doubt middle management has a firm enough grasp on how to let go 10,000 people within a shot-time frame with proper diligence). There is a vested interest in deregulating the immigration system because it will drive down skilled labor costs, not filling "open" positions allows them to perpetuate their agenda at no cost to them (outside of a job listing). Anyone who has to work under the threat of deportation is going to work harder on average than someone who isn't. It's good for productivity, but bad for all the skilled labor in this country, INCLUDING the people who want to immigrate here for a better life, because they'll be subjected to it eventually too.

You don't need to have an expensive wedding, worthy of emptying a retirement savings account. You can still have a wedding, just don't spend 40 years of savings on it.

And you can still go to college, but go to a state college and live at home. The con these private universities are pulling on the middle class is something for the history books. They sell this "university lifestyle" to impressionable, naive high schoolers who then throw themselves (or parents) into stupid amounts of debt just to live the lifestyle.
MacDown and MarkdownPad Pro are the editors I use on Mac and Windows too. The Pro version of MarkdownPad has nice support for GitHub flavored Markdown, either using the GitHub API or with an offline renderer.

As much as I like MarkdownPad [Pro], it has its own bloat problem. It uses Awesomium [1] for the preview HTML rendering, which can really chew up a lot of memory.

The original version of MarkdownPad used the native Windows WebBrowser control, but the author didn't know the trick that allows that control to render in IE11 mode instead of IE7 mode. I reported it on their forum over a year ago [2] but it still uses Awesomium.

Anyone who needs to use an embedded web browser on Windows should grab the code in that forum thread. Getting the native WebBrowser into IE11 mode instead of the terrible default IE7 mode makes it a useful control. Since you don't need to bundle an entire web browser with your app, it cuts down the app size quite a bit.

Google develops and distributes Android Open Source OS for free. The costs for these activities are offset by Google's revenues from the other products like Google+. This is Android's business model. Also many phones come pre-installed with many other apps. Google does not firbid this. All of this is mentioned in TFA.

You do realize though, there's an intentional segregation there. Android is not the play store or any of those apps. Not at this point. Android is that OS itself and just the OS. If antitrust is an issue, then the case needs to be made against the distribution of apps that require licensing (google's apps and the store), not against android itself, which is fairly unrestricted.

> Giphy, though a pleasure to have on the team

I couldn't disagree more. I hate giphy integrations, and I disable them in any room I have any control in.

It becomes abused far too easily, and the results are so rarely relevant. "/giphy high five" will return a gif of someone high-fiving 30% of the time, and will return nonsense garbage the rest of the time, prompting people to try, try again, flooding the room with animated images of celebrities, minions, or whatever other garbage someone has uploaded and tagged poorly.

And that's not counting the one jackass who just gets bored and starts flooding the room with random gifs. (That happens much more rarely in work-dedicated channels, but it makes off-topic rooms a chore.)

100% gimmick, 0% pleasure.

About 4% of 18-24 year olds in the US went to private 4 year colleges in 1973, and 8% in 2012. So private higher education has become more accessible (with good and bad effects) but is still a privilege of the well off, not a core human experience.

This doesn't contradict your point that real incomes are declining.

This is exactly the same.
There's obviously going to be a bias of some sort, but it would probably be worth looking at the distribution of the reported salaries to get a better sense of that. (The author may have already looked at the spread of salaries, I haven't read through the whole thing yet).

You could also try comparing with visadoor.com or another source of H1B data for the same companies to try to see where they fit in. There may be a systematic difference between H1B salaries and the larger employee base at these companies, but at least you're not limited by self-reporting.

I'm pretty sure the data is coming from the self-reported salary spreadsheet that was posted on here about a month ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11331223). There's a lot of valuable information in it and there were no geographical restrictions on participation. However, it's all self-reported and unverified, and there are some values that are obvious fakes.

Also, Tesla is not a de-facto monopoly on several European markets, which is the problem here.

That seems really really wrong. I see they cite studies but it just finally got warm and sunny here after a long cold winter and it feels, well, happy :-) Maybe, just maybe, if it was sunny all the time I'd get used to it. But some days wouldn't be sunny, or I'd travel someplace with no sun, or people would visit and say how awesome the weather is... I dunno, I'd be reminded all the time how awesome it is. Or I'd complain because there's no rain and everything is dry and dead and we're running out of water... damn hedonic treadmill.

> Why would you install software libraries and binaries to $HOME?

Why not? It makes more sense than global installations sometimes.
I agree with you on major life costs increasing.

However, you didn't explain why. There are, IMO, two reasons:

- maintaining demand by incessant, aspirational media pressure e.g. if you don't have a Cinderella-like wedding costing $100K+, you are a failure (it is the most important day of your life, right? right?)

- easy availability of credit to finance these wants (not needs)

A lot of people believe that a $100K wedding must be better than a $10K one, or a $75K/year college must be better than a state university.

I'd exclude taxes and health care, though. These are a bit different, because you don't really have much of a choice here.
Google Inbox adds “Saved” articles, videos and links

You can forward a whole thread. That's client-side behavior. The simple way is to select the thread, encapsulate it as an attachment of type RFC822/email, and send it off.

The complicated but more user-friendly way is to reconstruct the messages into a single non-repeating conversation view and send that.

In either case, SMTP doesn't need to change, and you don't even need support on the receiving client, just the sender.
>> that large of a percentage of the population means that society has a problem. That does not just impact the individuals that don't follow good financial practices when they could

Just because it's 47% does not mean that the majority of those 47% are not entirely responsible for their own situation. The things people are mentioning (children's college/university, weddings, houses, cars) are completely dependent on the individual's own decisions. That people actually go into debt or spend their entire life savings on a bloody wedding of all things is certainly not indicative of a problem with society.

Nobody is forced to spend beyond their means to strive to place themselves above middle class. Spending is not justified because you fit the "middle class" demographic and should thus be entitled to "middle class things". There is no endemic here, only individuals making poor choices. There's no huge secret to stashing away some money. It's really not difficult. I can sympathize for someone making less than $50k/year who genuinely struggles with basics. The $50k/year earner who buys a new iPhone every year? Not so much. Someone making $150k/year who is unable to withdraw $2000 from their chequing account? Not a single ounce of sympathy for them. Unless one is in a truly sticky spot like having to pay ungodly amounts of money to manage a severe illness, there is no excuse other than an introspective look at one's priorities.

Society cannot be used as a scapegoat here. The system is not flawed. The way people try to position themselves at a higher level within the system than they can afford? There's the issue.

This makes me think of the iPhone + RIM (Blackberry) and what a shift in thinking they had after pulling apart the first iPhone they could get hold of.

"RIM was even in denial the day after the iPhone was announced with all hands meets claiming all manner of weird things about iPhone: it couldn’t do what they were demonstrating without an insanely power hungry processor, it must have terrible battery life, etc. Imagine their surprise when they disassembled an iPhone for the first time and found that the phone was battery with a tiny logic board strapped to it. It was ridiculous, it was brilliant."

There's also a hypothesis, to which I am partial, that RNA was the original self-replicating molecule[1], from which all life evolved, and that DNA was a later development.

DNA gets transcripted into RNA before it codes proteins, so an original RNA moelcule, being both a catalyst and a data store, eventually developed variations that in turn also produced pure catalysts (proteins) and a pure data store (DNA). But it's still the lynchpin of the reproduction process.

And it makes them incredibly hard to fight. We basically have two ways of dealing with them:

• Use vaccination to train the host's immune system deal with it, should it ever encounter the full version.

• Use special drugs to slow down their replication to let the host's immune system deal with the rest.

Prions have no special, prion-only replication strategy we can target, and I'm not sure whether the immune system can be trained to attack only prions and not their regular protein equivalents.
