But, each wave of new jobs requires more specialization and training than the previous, and the period between each wave decreases.

Unless we can figure out how to retrain the redundant workers more quickly, we are going to inevitably have more and more unemployment.

We also have no way to accurately forecast future labor demand. So, people end up wasting lots of time and money to train for jobs that won't exist by the time that they're done training.

I already see this with programming. Tons of people are being displaced from other work, and they're trying to get into programming because they've been told it is the future. But, a good programmer takes many years to train. And, the skill requirements for programmers increases every year.

Programming will still be a good career for some time, but a 'basic' programmer job of today will probably only have another 5-6 years or so until it's mostly displaced. The next wave of programming jobs will require advanced math and scientific skills, at least.
Awesome work! I just watched your PyOhio talk[0], and seems really promising.
I use Flask daily, and while performance has not been an issue yet, I know the key word in that phrase is yet.

Would love to play with the code. Could you add a CONTRIBUTING.md? I could try to figure out how to get started on my own, but having a few pointers would be really helpful.

I see there are no issues on GH. What are things you're hoping to add soon/are not implemented yet?

OMG I can't believe how they have ripped off another service and its just like a photo-copy so identical IMO. I've heard many good things about Hiveage though I haven't used their tool.

Can someone confirm whether the Invoiceable aka Invoicely are bunch of Indians? I've seen FB ads for e-Bay ripoff, Facebook etc. for damn cheap prices and I think that's possible due to their lower labour costs. Anyone can ripoff a product be it Hiveage, Facebook or e-Bay but never create a business around it, coz people know what's original and which is the duplicate.
If we apply the Charisma Man[1] concept, it says that the most charismatic would be an outsider of whom the insiders know little and thus his/her faults don't translate into their context as shortcomings. In this case Trump's brashness and unfiltered style is an asset rather than a drawback compared to how those characteristics would wear on an insider candidate.

Did people honestly think the internet was going to play fair for the first time in history? That an online vote was going to be taken seriously?

Of course not. And if you read the original announcement, it was very clear: "to answer one question I know will come up: Upvotes are an important factor but they're too brittle to rely on exclusively; doing so would encourage the wrong kind of trying to game the system."

Maciej tried to game the system, and got the answer he deserved: "Nice try, but we told you that we weren't going to let you do that". Actually, I think he got more than he deserved: If I had been in Kevin's place I wouldn't have bothered with the ad-hoc phone interview.

For one EA is ~3 times the size of Take Two interactive (parent of parent of 2k sports). Logic would dictate they just out bid on the rights to Madden each and every year.

I've bought Madden every year up to 2015 and personally call bull shit on the idea that EA has continually added value to the franchise. They've added Ultimate team, a feature that lets users purchase players and bet on online games (it uses virtual currency so it's not gambling right!), as well as a handful of small feature improvements year over year... that's it. The biggest sell year on end is roster updating and graphics tweaks.

TLDR; used to buy Madden every year, now I categorically don't.
Yes, I agree, that hardware is aging. We are currently working on making K80s available and should be ready in the next couple months.

You're right, they were more generous than the original announcement suggested. If I had been in Kevin's shoes I would have rejected pinboard based on the content of the thread rather than holding an ad-hoc phone interview to give you a chance to redeem yourself.
The funny thing is that voice recognition is no longer the problem. For years the reason you couldn't do voice command interfaces was that transcription didn't work, but today transcription works amazingly well. My commands are transcribed perfectly, even in my car when I'm doing 65 on the freeway with my phone stuck in a cupholder.

The problem now is Android randomly kills the "OK Google" background listening process, or it fails because it can't handle a handover between wifi and cell data, or it "can't open microphone" even though it just heard me say OK Google, or any one of many other Android problems rears its ugly head.

The reliability of voice transcription now is far better than the general reliability of Android on my Nexus 5X, and the Android team ought to feel pretty bad about that.

We've been moving to high-fidelity prototypes from PSD-design, it's good.

The days before we moved to PSD-driven development, it was "We need a page with a list of X's, so the user can Y each. It should look sort of like the list of Z's on ABC.com. Build a prototype for next week"... one week of back and forth and a bunch of hacks later..."Ok, the prototype looks good, let's put this in production by Friday."

Bringing in a full time designer and bringing in PSD-driven development was very welcome relief. We still had a week and a Friday, and didn't need to allocate time for prototyping.
lots of info.
I feel very similarly, and I think a lof of the general public do (or will) as well.

From that same post:

So we're going to gauge community interest both by upvotes and comments, and in case of doubt I'll make the final call—or better, figure out a way to put the final call to the community.

Pinboard was the most discussed entrant as well as the highest voted. I also don't think it's foolish of me to think that a ranking based on "discussion" or "comments" is just a glorified poll with more subjectivity, and just as vulnerable to manipulation (if not more).

It was also implied a value judgement would only be made in case of doubt, seems like Pinboard was doubtless the front runner. Very unfortunate they didn't manage to put the final call to the community though.

As an aside, i'd just like to echo how odd it is to see people on Hacker News advocate against people gaming the system

I always find these articles (and the response to them) a bit strange.

The hard part of this problem isn't the voice-part - that is doable. The hard part is parsing the question or order! That is so, so far from being solved. Accuracy rates on QA tasks in academia are around 60-70% (depending on the task), which is much worse than the 95-99% accuracy achievable with speech-to-text.

That's why the pizza ordering thing is impressive - the software has to understand intent.
> Somehow that person's brain is doing a thing they may not have the symbolic knowledge to describe.

And we can draw roughly correct circles but most people don't know the equation for one. I'm not sure that's particularly significant though, but I may have missed your point.
How is this different than a pizza app using Microsoft's Cortana API in Windows?
Given that the contract was for 5 years initially, then extended another five and now it looks like another three at least I'd argue that it's plenty of explanation for why Madden is dominant. In the time that contract takes to expire it makes it completely unfeasible for any company to take on EA because no one will have Football game tech like Madden.
That's the thing. It will not be up for you to assume.

It will be up to the AI to decide.

That's why we think it could be a problem (for us) if the AI to had the advantage on us...

Our thinking: "Great, we've made this 100x as smart as us AI, even gave it a robot body! Imagine how helpful it will be to us".

AI thinking: "Hmm, those pesky creatures think that I'm kind of their servant because they created me? They're like ants to me. I shall crush them and go on with my plans for conquering the universe".
Because the list of words the speech recognition system has to understand reliably is extremely limited. There are probably what, 200-300 words the system has to understand for a pizza service? It's fairly simple to fine-tune speech recognition if you have a small dictionary of keywords you've given the engine extra training on. A pizza demo is perfect because it appears to be non-trivial, but I assume the engine has been fine-tuned a lot specifically for the demo. The interesting aspects of speech recognition are in handling natural sentences from the entire language, rather than a subset that has been heavily tuned to weigh specific words as being more expected for a given domain.

> “If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she would get 5 percent of the vote,” Mr. Trump said.

Interesting that you think that is sexist, as to me it seems like he is describing a sexist scenario, and I happen to agree with that interpretation.

I think you're pretty on point with Adams though.
A non-subscribing, ad-blocking readership is no different from 0 readership at all. There is no reason to retain a user whose LTV is and always will be $0.

Professional journalists aren't going to decide one day that paychecks are overrated. Your "something else" will be one big native advertisement (in which case, why are ad-blocking users reading it at all?) or else a hell of a lot lower quality.

Employing people to serve users from which you don't and can't extract value only works in tech, and only for a few years before the next crash.
This made me laugh because it's also exactly my experience with free community Slack. I suppose there is an argument for a more transient means of communication, and Slack's interface is certainly an improvement over IRC or awful, awful Google Groups, but...

Of course, if you want a better Slack experience, you can shell out an unknown multiplier of thousands of dollars per month for a paid version (which is never going to happen). The pricing gap for free/paid community Slack is just nuts.

I'd assume that this is true - it would be astonishing to me if it weren't simply because of the law of high numbers.

I have a spare moment, so I will do this. I don't expect you will find the argument compelling.

1. The concept that you can "steal a woman's heart from a man" implies a concept of ownership of the woman's heart by the man. Even metaphorically, this is a very toxic sort of thinking.

2. Implying that you should be able to "take possession" of a woman's affection from a man if you find him less worthy only doubles own on the woman's lack of agency in this scenario. That this language is old and from "a different time" is no defense.

3. Implying that this is in fact a good thing because "he abuses her," is a double whammy because it invokes a very negative cognitive resonance with "Why don't those bitches see I am a nice guy" reddit psychology (made famous by the UCSB incident) but also implies that a woman would need rescuing from what the third party man views as abusive because she's not capable of such an escape herself and needs a man to effect said escape.

We can talk about how co-dependency makes 3's secondary point more debatable if you're an expert in that subject matter, because it's morbidly fascinating.

But yes, ultimately "because feminism." Inasmuch as this sort of talk is at least as "offensive" as implying a man "only thinks with his small head." And while equally offensive, it has far more pernicious effects for women in a society that has so much inertia directed towards removing their autonomy (both of body and mind).

Ultimately, I think the author did this by accident. And that accidental misogyny is what I was commenting on. That's what we mean by "internalized". It's so natural that you can use loaded language and actively perpetuate stereotypes without even realizing you're doing it.

Best Anti-Trump ad ever
This is why I'm very skeptical of this current craze for chat bots. It seems to me that they're really only useful if they can infer a wide range of intent from the user's input, and that seems like it's still very much an unsolved problem. Otherwise they're just glorified menu systems.
do you have this in a github somewhere ? would love to check it out. Also would be nice to see this same thing with postgres DB access.
"I roll my eyes and say, 'because feminism'."

I think my degree of investment was entirely appropriate given the new turn of the discourse. But! But but but! As you were kind to me, I have paid it forward as well! I've actually offered an explanation.

Investigation of who I am talking to leads me to believe my first suggestion might still have more impact on their thinking though.

You're wrong that illegal immigrants are a burden. You say that you don't like the implication of being prejudiced but you use a source designated as a hate group by SPLC[1]

Illegal immigrants do not qualify for the majority of social services.

"The amount that state and local governments spend on services for unauthorized immigrants represents a small percentage of the total amount spent by those governments to provide such services to residents in their jurisdictions"[2]

So, illegal immigrants do hard manual labor for little pay and zero or close to zero benefits and you come along and try to convince people of the opposite. What do you call that if not prejudiced? Were you just misinformed?

I think that what is happening can be described thus: waves of ignorance.

Every few years, generations of technologists evolve from their schooling, and come out into the workforce - competent, yes, but aware, no. Awareness of previous technologies is the problem: if you've never actually used e-mail productively, you may not be aware that people use it extremely productively, so you pitch an alternative - i.e. re-invent/NIH some 'replacement' technology that has a lot of fancy bells and whistles, but ends up re-implementing the stuff that your grandaddy programmers solved, decades ago.

Slack is an example of this - I see nothing in it that I can't do, effectively, with a well-run mailing list and well-configured mail applications, with company policies and, most of all TRAINING of employees/team-members on how to use it properly. The same goes for IRC. IRC and Email already solved the problems of Slack: its just that the mechanism (i.e. understanding) of applying those technologies is not evenly distributed.

It comes in waves, and I think it can be traced back to the timing of graduation schedules across academia.

Punishing doctors for making human errors will not result in perfection. It will result in doctors hiding and denying their mistakes.

A better approach is to acknowledge that people will make mistakes, and work with doctors to identify why the mistakes are made and how procedures can be altered to prevent those mistakes in the future. This is how it is done in the aviation business. Punishment will not work.

Note that the situation has evolved over the last 20 years. During the first tech wave, general employees actually made decent money when the company got sold. I know a bunch of people that walked into early retirement in the 90s.

But, in that first wave, the founders were more likely to be the ones who built the original product. Since then, there's been a dramatic shift from the inventor-run tech company to the financier-run or salesperson-run tech company. In this second generation company, there's considerably less leverage for a non-sales or non-finance employee. I've known a couple people who've gotten rich during the second wave, but none were from the creative team.
