That's like saying there's plenty of room for musicians if you're Mozart.

The amount of investment required to develop yourself for a target field has grown astronomically, but that's been coupled with a push down in wages. I know lawyers who spent a fortune for their degree, passed the Bar, and make barely more than minimum wage.

Regulation isn't causing this; automation is causing this.

It's wind shear. Wind at altitude tends to travel at right angles to the pressure gradient, as the coriolis force does its thing. Wind near the ground tends to travel directly from high pressure to low pressure, because of friction with the ground. That friction also tends to slow it down. Net result, it's common for wind to turn and increase in speed as you go up.

The problem isn't the supply; it's the demand. There are many, many artists out there. You want custom furniture? Go online and you'll find people who will make it. The problem is that not enough people can afford it. Not enough demand at an appropriate price point means that the artist starves.

Hell, I used to make handmade jewelry boxes from exotic woods. Once I realized what I would have to sell them for to get any realistic value on my time, thoughts of making that my fulltime job went flying out the window. Instead it was more fun just giving them to friends and family.

> There's a huge to-do list of jobs that need to be done at almost every level, from design and build of significant infrastructure in most countries around the world, to community-level support work.

Infrastructure overinvestment is extremely destructive to the environment, and at least in Japan and China has led to economic problems:

I thought the key ingredient of astroturfing is the concealment of the source of the message. The idea is to make a centralized effort appear to not be centralized. I would say that providing templates to contact public officials would qualify as astroturfing. And yes, I would extend that attribution to many advocacy groups whose proposals I agree with.

Birth rates and income are not as highly correlated as evidenced by your graph and the birthrates of nations.

As it stands now the EU has more deaths than births every year for the foreseeable future. When birthrates have been below replacement level for over 30 years it would take a massive baby boom to right the pyramid, but what good would that do? We don't need the population we used to and those babies wouldn't be productive for at least 20 years and as it stands now many of them would be as much of a drain on the state as the retired
I hope not, but it seems to me that not taking photos if explicitly asked not to is the least you can do for a guy who, upon arresting you treats you like a best friend, helps you to get refund for unused ticket and buys you bear and coffee.

While looking for a different paper, which shows that mosquitos can adapt to certain repellents, I discovered that the paper from above has been retracted: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/natu...

The article says that it cruises at an altitude where the air density is 10x less than at sea level. Lift is proportional to density and to the square of speed, so it would need to go about 3x faster to generate the same amount of lift at altitude, or about 75MPH.

The trend here is that humans will become ubiquitous learning machines, valued for their ability to fulfill variable demand.

Automation works well through economies of scale to fulfill large, steady amounts of demand. A.I. works well when there is a lot of existing data or logged activity to train on. For new, variable, or niche demand markets, Humans will be unique in that they can fill the demand faster than A.I. or robotics.

There is no robot that can knock me out (safely so that I wake up when everything is done), snake a thing down my windpipe, poke through the exact right spot in my bronchial tube and into my mediastinum (a name for the bag that my heart), and retrieve a chunk of whatever surrounds my aorta.

But here I wait, while people capable of doing this (or at least capable of learning how to do it - and that's a lot of people) also wait. That's regulation.
"surfs" -> "serfs"

Nitpicking I know.
Common infrastructure is typically not considered to be a private market.
1) Seems to be increasing accepted. However, it looks like we're still on the early side of it, and the transition is going to be difficult. There will likely be a time when there are nowhere near enough jobs to go around, and not enough aid for the unemployed.

2) I wouldn't say this is widely accepted. On any topic about Universal Basic Income, one of the common refrains against it is "the dignity of work", and that labor gives purpose in life. I don't agree with that necessarily, but it seems to be a view held by a sizable segment of the population. You'll also see it come up in situations where welfare is mentioned.

No, I'd like the government to stop paying people to do nothing, and instead pay them to provide government services. Rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, provide child care to working women, left wing types have a huge laundry list of things they'd like the government to do more of.

I'd also like to replace as many (currently overpaid) government workers with welfare types as possible. Why pay $50k/year to a unionized govt janitor when you can just order someone currently on welfare to do the same job for no extra money?

Ideally the political solution would be only a single step that allows property owners to build x-story buildings in certain zones. That shouldn't require the persuasion of every single neighborhood, because "neighborhood" shouldn't be a political unit with the ability to stop a property owner from building a structure that is permitted by the larger government's (i.e. the city's) zoning laws.
I seriously doubt it is that simple. We have lows and policies at both the federal and state level that impact the price of housing. They have a different impact on both individuals and on housing in cities versus smaller towns or rural areas.

Trying to "correct" for what federal and state laws and policies do the housing situation in a specific location is quite burdensome. In order to fix some of what goes on in San Francisco, you would need to figure out the impact of those federal and state laws and policies and see if, realistically, anything can be done to counter them at the local level or if you would need to fight them at the state and/or federal level to have any hope of resolving the situation.

Just because the problem is obvious in San Francisco and significantly impacting the locals does not remotely mean it originates there and can be solved there.

Unless the US went communist in the 1930s, government employment, even for the express purpose of creating jobs, wouldn't constitute communism.

Besides that, if there is really not enough demand for workers, and there is never going to be, the alternative would seem to be a permanently unemployed underclass.

I'm surprised, that a western man is so ready to participate in corruption. I live in Kazakhstan and I would be very afraid to bribe an official, it could become worse very fast and if you are caught with that, you'll have to bribe much more people or end up in a jail with a very serious offence. I definitely don't recommend to bribe an official in Kazakhstan, usually it's better and safer to follow a law.

Stack Overflow's point system is really annoying. I've been programming for around 10 years, but because I don't participate much I can't even comment on an answer.

A month or so ago I was stuck on a problem and thought I'd go through a tag for something I'm familiar with, and submit some answers to try and get enough points to be able to fully use the site.

One answer had a new programmer following a tutorial and using an old method signature. I commented that the tutorial he was following is out of date, and listed the correct method to use.

The person downvoted my answer, and then pasted (basically) the same code as the answer to his own question and accepted it. I know I just had bad luck in this case, but it's pretty frustrating.

Not allowing a user with low points to do some functions makes sense, but let them submit content and allow other users to determine if it's useful. I could have (and wanted to) comment on dozens of answers, which would of helped out a lot of people and saved them time/frustration.

I think it was due to having a sales model that worked, and a decent design. In ye olden days, Altavista and Yahoo were alternatives. Yahoo faded fast, as it was more of an aol type portal, and the business model (which required a large sales team and heavy analytics to price the ads) wasn't as friendly as Google. Altavista died with DEC. Google continued to print money without hiring a huge sales team.

> To many people the big corporate passive aggressive notes from belly of HR about the "good of the company" are the closest to people's weekly and/or daily sermons that they'll see.

Oh wow. I've not thought about that culture in such a light. Perhaps that's why I have always found those "sermons" a bit creepy? I think you have a great point here.

> Or a redefinition of a lot more hobbies and crafts as "jobs" and "work". (I'm not sure which would be easier. There are stigmas in both directions.)

100% agreed. I know quite a few artists who are branching off into freelance, using the internet to their disposal (patreon, gofundme, etsy, etc.) who have been chided for not "having a real job" or looked down upon for choosing to have a part time "real job" to make time for their craft / art. Yet, they make respectable income. This phenomenon for artists in general may not be new, of course. I just like to imagine how the internet may help change or eradicate the stigma of it not being "good enough".

When my own brother decided to go down this path, I was a bit concerned, and the truth is most of my positions as a sysadmin until recently were very corporate. I was appalled at myself for even thinking things like, "But this isn't going to build a career for him. Why is he even taking this chance? This seems stupid of him."

I'm now wondering if my exposure to this 'corporate dogma' may be related.
But in fact the financial district is not all of NYC. And there are plenty of places in SF that have higher than its overall average of 7,100/km^2.

The point is, the meme in HN is that San Francisco is some weird spread out suburb like, I don't know, Houston (1,414 people/km^2). It's not. It's already quite dense. Could it be denser? Obviously yes. Could it QUICKLY become SO MUCH denser that it radically changes the affordability of the city? Only in the fairy land where you ignore every part of reality that's inconvenient.

I think that increasing R&D allocation increases labor demand, both within those projects, and from capital investments that are derived from them.

I love the aesthetics and implementation - very cool. In reality, however, I think of the rip more between everything that's there and what's not pictured. The difference between the top and bottom home sales is not all that much, though the social divide between those who could afford to stay and those who can't even live here at all anymore is the underlying purpose.

I guess I don't buy that the home prices are dividing the landed gentry in Noe valley from pac heights as much as the rich elite from everyone else who's not buying homes in SF.

Only if "not being repelled by chicken smells" conferred a large enough selective advantage over "being repelled by chicken smells".

Labor laws are just moving the risk from the employee to the employer. In an ideal world the employee would be compensated more for higher risk so nothing would change. But in the real world most employees won't realize that so we (supposedly) decided to implement labor laws.
