Hi, I'm the author. Just wanted to pop in and say:

(1) I originally had the thing stuffed full of citations and links, but since they wanted to print it in the paper magazine, we stripped all those out. If you want a reference for any particular claim, I'm happy to provide.

(2) First Things didn't pressure me to make any content or editorial modifications to the article. The sole exception was one or two more technical points that they asked me to cut for length and flow concerns (and because many readers don't have a quantitative background).

Any bias in there is purely mine.
> But exercise, for instance, has the benefit of improving your health and creating happiness in its own right.

That and losing weight. I honestly believe that many don't understand the effects of being obese (or even overweight) because they've been that way for so long, they've forgotten what healthy feels like. I for one didn't realize it until I lost the weight and no longer needed a CPAP to sleep through the night.
Are you irritated by all the clickbait headlines and manipulative snippets and wish you had a fair idea of what you are getting into before reading a piece?

Might I suggest using your product to come up with a better headline for your submission? :P
There were a lot fewer jobs back then though.
I don't think it's possible to overstress how important "it's been given too much weight" is. Classify it as a defect that was hard to find, put a patch in and move on.

You are correct, the FAQ seems to have missed it: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Debugging

"To do this, you need to be running a "debug build" of the software. "Debug build" is a parameter that is set at compile time, so you'll either need to compile FreeCAD yourself, or obtain a pre-compiled "debug" version."
Thanks! I don't work at all with this type of data though (I'm a physicist), so my interpretation of it will be mostly guesswork I'm afraid (though I welcome learned comments!).

The divergence in house prices seems to be real, and would correspond to the historically high 'Gini' coefficient of the price distribution. This seems to have been falling recently however, which might represent a turning point in the price divergence.

At my school (in the mid-'90s) it was the same thing, but with whiteboards. You'd affix a cheap little whiteboard and non-permanent marker to your door, and people who came by would leave you messages. Then at day's end you'd come back, read the messages, and wipe the board clean for tomorrow.

It strikes me now how much those little whiteboards prefigured social media. Some people used them to leave status updates, like we do today on Facebook -- you'd write how you were doing today or where you were going to be later at the top of your board. And others (like me) used them like Twitter, as a place to leave little jokes for others to come by and read.

Leninism, Stalinism, etc. (countries you mentioned) are attempts to fix problems with capitalism identified by Marx and Engels.

Marxism is a method of socioeconomic analysis and it true that Marx and Engels writing offered scientific/philosophic background for revolutions (which ended up worse than capitalism). But their critique of capitalism is still very much valid.

If you want be successful capitalist you need read "Das Capital": many things will become clear. Or just watch it: http://davidharvey.org/reading-capital/

I've been thinking about this lately. The common meme is that people who say "I'll be happy when I do $thing" should try to be happy in the moment rather than looking towards their next goal(s).

I think we always need micro-goals to strive towards. A new job can improve your life, a new partner can improve your life, and even when you find new $thing, there are still goals to work toward there. Like being a better employee or a better partner.

And as you've said, the effect of some changes is long-term at least until you feel a need for growth/expansion again. Everything else outside of moving forward in life is complacency.

For me there are positives and negatives to this type of move. The small mom and pop stores are supporting local jobs in some cases. In other cases where the product is mass produced overseas, I would prefer the lower priced Amazon Basics product.

CVS a pharmacy in my area does something like this. The slot on the shelf for the brand name product you want is usually empty. The generic CVS brand of that same product is fully stocked right next to it. I sometimes just go to a non-chain pharmacy just so I can get the brand I want.
I feel I'm definetly older than most of you. I've had about three long term best friends, excluding romantic relationships. Ride, or die friends. One friend is on FB, but not there much.

The main reason I joined FB is I thought I was missing out on meeting new people.

I used my real identity on FB for a year. I still wore sunglasses, because I didn't think anyone had a right to see your entire face. Yes--I've got friend requests. I look up that person, and boom--they have 500 friends. Why do they want another one?

I even had the cutest Amish girl want to be friends of FB. She had 3000 friends. She was married. What's the point?

I don't think I had one person FB friend request that didn't seem to have a selfish agenda? To be fair, I really didn't reach out to people I once really liked. We seemed to go in just different directions.

I want to like FB, but I just find the site depressing. The most interesting people, I once knew well, are now just posing for pictures, crafting their comments to get their seemingly so fragile egos the "Likes", and seem to be using FB as some sort of way to control how society views them?

Most would be better off just telling the truth, but they can't. Why? Because the better part of the world will be able to see your vulnerabilities, and those bad days that make you human, will never be able to be erased. A few mistakes, and you are that person that will be judged by the rest? And the rest, makes snap judgements, and most will likely remember you by that one bad day.

So, it you have any sence of self preservation, you will just post those fishmouth pictures, and be nauseating optimistic.

Why--you can't want to be called out as a Troll, or Debbie Downer, or have a negative view on anything the sheep haven't given disscused in committee beforehand.

So, what do we have? We have FB. A site that forces people to be superficial, and fake.

Aging, if I was younger, I think my time on FB would have less nauseating? Maybe?

People promote these sites as the end all. How can you meet anyone if they never show the real person behind the keyboard?

I do like HN for obvious reasons. My only complaint is they should pay moderators. Why--it might weed out the moderators that use the site as a power trip?
There's no tradeoff between "luxury meats" and feeding everyone. The appropriate signals will be perceived by the Big Food Machine and more will be made as soon as there is room on the shelves.

And another bad thing is that I don't really find RSUs for most startups that attractive. I'd rather have RSUs from some public company like Amazon or Google than some non-public startup. At least I can easily sell Amazon stock.
I think another factor is the salary sites such as salary.com, payscale, glassdoor, etc. These sites often don't include RSU in comparisons among companies. If it was included, many could see just how underpaid they are and there would be more pressure on companies.
It is. We just don't have the right science yet.

The hundreds of hours of dieting, going to the gym, and putting on make-up (or flexing, for men) increase happiness by a colossal 7%.

nope nope nope

exercising does much more than make you look jacked at the club. It makes your brain release endorphins for immediate mood improvement, and also improves thinking, sleep, and overall well being. The happiest I've felt in my life is when exercising regularly. Actually exercising and diet are probably _the most_ influential on our chemistry which in turn influences mood and happiness.

also not sure why all these things were lumped in together and how they could possibly calculate the 7% increase considering there is such a wide range of diets and exercise plans. Seems hyperbolic

People's spending habits are so broken, I think there must be some equivalent adult financial schooling/courses to give people right training on the most important in their life.

I frequently run in to relatives and bosses and other senior people who complain of not having money or expressing surprise when they learn some one earning far less or doing a job that they think is beneath them makes/has made a good investment. Finally they tend ultimately complain of life being unfair to them. Forgetting the fact that they make 5-6 times more and their state is their own doing.

Yet more I look at their lives, I see a spending pattern that co relates to borderline nonsense. They take vacations because some one else is, and not taking one frequently means losing brag rights in social circles. They have cars they don't need, they buy expensive cameras and lenses they are likely to never use or even know how to. They buy clothes which they are going to not like a month later. They change gadgets every year. They seem to spend money on everything which they don't need, or use or even remotely derive any value from.

Its simply a never ending cycle of upgrades and added finances time after time, which isn't unsustainable.

Even some very intelligent people I know are very poor in understanding large timescales, how investments work, how their own spending can be destructive to them.

At the very same I see people making far less, but a home early in life, start contributing to that retirement fund early and come out on top.

Honestly in the free market economy, freedom seems like something most people are incapable of handling. People have themselves to blame.
Great effort with the project.

However, I must say that very critical info for first-time users is still unavailable or very vaguely documented. For example, I still have no clue what sort of analysis can be obtained from this page : https://github.com/coala-analyzer/coala-bears/wiki/Available.... I can see a bunch of Bears but that's your terminology. I would rather prefer a brief summary of the tool's analysis or atleast a link to the static analyzer which a specific bear wraps over. For e.g. "AlexBear" - I honestly have no clue what that or 90% of the other bears end up doing with my source code.

You have put so much effort in the implementation, please improve clarity/coverage of documentation.

Also, installation (pip3 install coala-bears) fails on OSX. Any ideas on how to fix that ? Here is the error message : http://pastebin.com/tP3dZsik

I said 50% of graduates are min wage or unemployed. Not the 1% who majored in romantic literature. You also didn't address the fact that wages paid to employees are completely stagnant.
Just to clarify - do you mean the expected year-over-year retention is 50% meaning that if 100 people are hired in a year, then 365 days later, only about 50 of them will still be there? How much of that is because they are leaving or being let go?
Comparing pensions does get tricky very quick. In Canada for example there is a deduction from your paycheque for Canada Pension Plan (CPP) (assuming you don't live in Québec), but many employers will also have matching-contribution RRSP (same as a 401k) plans. So when you retire you get government pension plus private sector pension (which would be a mix of what you contributed and what your employer matched). The UK is similar where you get a government pension plus many employers have a tax-deferred retirement savings plan they will contribute to.

> While it does seem to be very fashionable in the US just now - you don't have to vape concentrates. There are lots of 'dry herb' vaporisers that are capable of vaping weed and hash.

Yeah, I personally think these vaporizers don't provide a very "satisfying" experience; and you have to draw on them a whole lot to get the same effect. They also use far more "herb" than many are willing to commit to consuming at a single time (most use at least half a gram, when you'd probably load a pipe with less than a quarter gram).

I've used a "Volcano" (uber high-quality German vaporizer) and while it actually works quite well, it's a novelty and it's basically a freaking $600 electronic bong. And it still has the problem where it requires a whole lot of material to adequately fill the chamber.

There was some whining recently that 500 Euro was just too big of a banknote. i generally support the ability of citizens to do financial transactions anonymously. We have more than enough ways to track everything else.
