I have strong doubts about this.

It is not that I don't believe non-wage compensation exists, it is that the same pattern exists in most other Western countries, not just America. It tends to begin a decade or so later in my own country and others (explained by us playing economic catch-up), but it is the same pattern. You can't explain this with a little redistribution here or there. Remember we're talking about (in this article's context) mostly younger people bearing the brunt of this, so it is not as if they are incurring major medical bills on average, thereby not requiring that health subsidy, so that is a hypothetical rather than a fact.

I suspect this is all better explained by lack of technological change (ex-computation) with logical follow through in the growth statistics and wages.

Let me give you an anecdote. Most graduated students from universities make less income per year than I did from my summer job. Read that twice. And I wasn't making much more than min wage at the time.

That can partly be explained by oversupply, but fundamentally this is such a contradiction to the education/wealth meme (go to Yale or go to Jail, you don't want to get a job at Mikky-Ds) that it has slipped under most older people's radar altogether.

The fact is actually that most college students would have been better off working minimum wage, living with their parents. They would be in a considerably better position today if that had taken that advice.

This is changing rapidly, more people are waking up to the realities of the job markets.

There is no longer any point in going to college. The jobs just don't pay enough for it to make any sense. I went to an elite university and I'm saying it. People who have the good fortune to have rich parents should not be counted as part of the statistics because there is a limit to the number of people who can work internships from Dad's townhouse in the most expensive cities in the world.

You adjust ROI for cost of living and you quickly discover any students in 'good jobs' have wealthy parents capable of covering their living expenses in places like London, New York.

This was not always the case, but it is now.

Today's intelligent student is better off starting their own company. Not because it is easy or likely to succeed, but because they are all out of options.

This does sound perfect to me. However I worry about losing a token without a established way to replace it.

For me I don't like staying logged into most services, I find it very uncomfortable that my computer "remembers" me for some reason. I use a browser plugin to delete cookies on tab close and don't save any history. I'm not so much RMS, just like my browser to "start fresh" most of the time. I also use a VPN 90% of the time.

So I value quick login more than account security, I guess.

I'm not entirely sure of the current situation, but ...

If you look they call it "Apache OpenOffice". Previously what we term "OpenOffice" was only called "OpenOffice.org (OOo)", why? Well because there was already a product trademarked and marketed as Open Office and IIRC there was a legal challenge. So OOo was the open version of StarOffice.

Perhaps Sun/Oracle or Apache bought that trademark?

A brief search at USPTO's TESS suggests that the word mark "OpenOffice" is registered to Pathway IP SARL of Luxembourg, whilst Apache have "OpenOffice.org".

So the question is LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org.

I like LibreOffice but then I'm in Western Europe. Someone noted it's poor for India and China due to pronounceability.
In the next sentence, the article goes on "Chrome 53 for Windows, Mac users got them in Chrome 52" - could that explain the situation perhaps?
Singapore as well. My iPhone 6 had a bloated battery, instantly replaced without any question. My LG Nexus had a bloated battery, all emails and FB messages ignored. Tell me who to love.
I hope Samsung (and others) learn from this clusterfuck and decide to employ user-replaceable batteries in the future.

I had my Note 1 battery also expand in volume - probably due to a crappy charger and the electronics didn't filter voltage fluctuation enough - and had to get rid of it before it exploded.

Ah, I guess we are talking well beyond mobile phones now. I guess what I find odd there is the idea that they copy established players, when they are an establshed player, one of the worlds largest.

What did they copy from Miele?

Nokia effectively disestablished themselves some years ago now so I'm not sure they're relevant any more.

In a lot of tech they are pioneers, I'm not sure it's fair to say their business model is based on copying when they are frequently ahead of the market and even making it (phones). NVMe drives are another area they are leading at the moment.
This problem is entirely caused by Palo Alto's draconian zoning laws. Many companies like being in a mixed-use area (one that combines housing, office, and retail), but this is illegal in 99% of the city. So everyone fights to the death over the remaining 1%.

I think what he's saying is that rather than selling a bunch of different devices (or one device with every sensor under the sun), you sell a "room base", and a bunch of different monitoring plugs that can slot into the "room base".

If your laundry room doesn't really need a camera, it just needs a thermometer, you just slot in the thermometer plug into that room base, etc.

This is a great article. The DOJ needs to get more involved in keeping state and local policing in line. The civil rights lawsuit filed against Ferguson, MO, earlier this year is a good start.

I lived in Palo Alto in 2012 and even then, Palantir's building collection seemed a little excessive. I'm mostly happy that they're doing well...but every time I've gone back, it feels less like the already-strange downtown it was and more like a Palantir campus.

I joked with friends then that Palantir's only real business model was buying Palo Alto so they could sell it later.

No, you simply cannot judge the "authenticity of a news source" by GFW blockage, because by that logic, you are entrusting GFW to be your meter of authenticity - which is absurd.

In fact, GFW has been a lot more sophisticated than a black list of sites, it applies ML / traffic pattern analysis capabilities which makes it even less relevant of "authenticity of a news source". Do a Google search of GFW analysis you will get a lot of details on that.

Quick plug for Dreamhost, who have partnered with LetsEncrypt and offer free SSL certificates with their standard web hosting product, easily setup from the control panel: https://www.dreamhost.com/hosting/ssl-tls-certificates/

How kind of them to hang on to the money instead of bugging the people it was intended for.
That's perhaps true to a small extent perhaps but I think simple economics have more explanatory power. Subsonic air travel is an 80/20 solution that meets the needs of a very large market. Once you can fly from New Your to London in 7-8 hours dropping the flight time to 3.5 hours has limited utility especially when you consider it does not drop overall travel time by anywhere near as much. For most passengers it's not worth the far greater cost to make SSTs safe.

The same thing applies in a much bigger way to travel to low-earth orbit. Costs escalate dramatically.

Bulletproof Coffee: Debunking the Hot Buttered Hype
Agreed, but your local governments will not let that happen because they want your money. They fight every single day to maintain a false market value of your house, basing its value simply upon the few percent who are willing or able to pay an ever upwards higher prices. A value based upon construction labor rates that skyrocket because of their daily increasing mandated certifications, insurances and fees and taxes and laws, and a value based on construction materials subject to more of their certifications and upwards marching specifications (a 5 inch well for four people? while water usage per person is halved during the same period?). And finally, by them "adding taxable value" to your property (at your cost), for example, by forcing new massively expensive sewer and water systems, often, because historically they permitted very small lots. When those lots have sanitary problems and the land value falls low, they won't let go of the tax money from those properties, instead, charging everyone to upgrade the entire infrastructure at massive costs (for which they then get an admin fee forever, as well as keeping the taxes). Finally, outsourcing the infra. services to a third party, at what, cost plus? No, housing will never get cheaper.
Think that's part of it - a substantial amount of the web is on shared hosting (and probably dictated by other areas of the business) and as such wont have any level of root access. Therefore the hosting company can control cert installation and thus cost.

What exactly is your complaint? That function signature wasn't written in the way you wanted? You could always just mentally read a->b->c->d as a,b,c->d and use it accordingly.

Since you're touting the simplicity of Go, I can describe a reason why the function signatures is written like that: a,b,c->d would be a special case of a->b->c->d (multi-arity function without currying, I guess?), so it's not needed.
I'm using the same PC I built in 2008. Of course, the only parts I haven't replaced are the Hard Drive, the CPU, the case and the power supply (and I've added several plenty extra storage).

As an American I agree with your assessment.

When I first saw LibreOffice I first thought it was a take on the comedy movie Nacho Libre. And I studied French, so you'd think that would help but not really.

Though the French pronunciation differs as the IPA shows /libʀ/ which is rather different than spanish /ˈliβɾe/. So its one of those "final e is silent, with a french twist" words that were maddening to learn after German where that almost never happens.
I don't think so, I have talked to many of my friends about OpenOffice and LibreOffice, and no surprise, majority of them heard about OpenOffice but not LibreOffice.

Even if house prices were not so inflated wages would still be stagnant. That's a much bigger problem for the economy than house prices because it is harder to solve for. Reasonable house prices are just a solution to the most immediate problem facing us today, that is all.

Judging by the downvotes, many people are totally in denial about this. It is pathetic.

I'm a red blood tooth and nail capitalist. If I say wage stagnation is real you had better believe it.
That's asinine. Economics is "the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption, and transfer of wealth." (some dictionary favoured by Google). Thinking about what kinds of transfers of wealth and what allocations of resources are the most "fair" or "just" is what economics has always done.

Just because one answer is "there is no discoverable fair or just allocation possible, and avoiding trying will have the best outcome", does not mean that answer gets to claim the entire discipline and any dissent is no longer "economics".

Gabapentin is used for anti-seizure, I was prescribed it 25mg 3x per day. It definitely caused memory issues for me, I literally couldn't remember people's names. After taking it for a few weeks to ensure I wouldn't have another seizure, I was taken off of it. After about a day and a half it was entirely out of my system and I felt back to normal. Some people's results may vary, but I couldn't see doing any complex coding with that in my system.
I doubt the EU can get $X billion out of Apple. I bet they would like that, but, the fact is they tax in €.

The European Central Bank, it's the issuer of €, they can, and they do, create the desire quantity of €X billion literally from nothing. The EU can't never be short of Euros. That's a fact. So, necessarily, taxing, and, in this case, sanctions, have other purposes.
I'm well aware of the ADA and its effects. There was recently a good report about legal trolls suing small businesses for minor parking space violations under the ADA, so I took the chance to refresh my memory on the act.

>Imagine if you'd wake up one day and your mouse doesn't work anymore because it's no longer compatible.

Huh? This analogy doesn't make any sense. Things aren't compatible because of the ADA; they're compatible thanks to standards bodies and market pressure.

> That's how important assistive technologies can be to disabled people.

Only a small fraction of people need the beeper, and from what I understand based on a presentation from a deaf coworker a few years back, the best assistive technologies are those that emerged naturally, not from archaic ADA-imposed requirements. She cited OS X's accessibility features.

>Vision is not a switch you can turn on again with an operation.

I'm aware. I never said $50M in research would cure blindness; I said it would do more for blind people than a little beeper in the PC chassis. $50M is also quite a conservative estimate.

> Men stopped marrying, so the government decided to treat live in arrangements as marriage in an attempt to catch-up. Hilarious if it wasn't so absurd.

You're talking about common-law marriage, which is actually a very old institution. The Supreme Court approved its validity in 1877. It also still, in most states that still have it, requires that both members of the couple involved declare themselves to be married and/or present themselves to the community as a married couple.

It's actually starting to go away, even: Pennsylvania banned it taking effect in 2005, and Alabama will abolish it effective with the beginning of next year.

And yet humans, collectively, pay what they feel they should (or if they don't value it the market disappears). You can't talk about economics without also considering what people want and what they believe and how that affects what they pay.

This is something that I'm worried about. I'm three years out of college and in my (very small) group of friends, two of us have full time ccorporate (middle class) jobs, one is starting his second masters degree, one is a part time personal trainer, and one is doing seasonal work at a farm. All of them have college degrees and all of them express interest in entrepreneurship and start-up culture. I think there is a problem with these guys (and myself) of being content with a bottom of the ladder corporate job. We all feel like we should be having more of an impact on our world and our jobs. I can't decide if this is a misplaced feeling of entitlement or a legitimate want of a "good" job that provides professional satisfaction.

Not necessarily to the same extent. My father took a medicine that reacted badly with grapefruit, for instance. St Johns Wort interacts with things like birth control, other anti-depressants, allergy medicine, and so on (http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/herb-interaction/possib...). This one in particular interacts with a wide number of things.

Some of the difference here is with warnings. Get a medicine that interacts with grapefruit, and you'll be warned with the medication. Warnings aren't as likely with supplements on either end. Since they are on the counter, folks see them as safe, and often don't tell their doctor or pharmacist.

By itself, however, many of these aren't harmful substances. St Johns Wort is fairly safe by itself, for instance. I don't think folks should have to get a prescription for it, honestly, but speaking to a pharmacist seems like the best way to overcome the public education bit of it.

>Without real evidence of large scale risk or harm, I don't think we should be banning any substance.
I'd generally agree, but I also think we should require the research into the substances to verify basic safety, especially if we are selling them as health aids plus have oversight for some time after they are on the market.
djb's "redo" (implemented by apenwarr and others) is a minimalistic-almost-perfect implementation of incremental process.

TTBOMK, the only two things it doesn't do well are processes with multiple outputs (e.g., yacc has both .c and .h as output), and distinct output directories. Both can be worked around, but ... it's clunky. Other than that, it's ridiculously simple, extremely robust and generally awesome. Way better than Make at properly expressing dependencies.

But of course, gittup takes the prize - by virtue of watching the build process from inside, it doesn't need you to tell it about dependencies at all. It knows better than you do, and can thus do the fastest possible perfectly incremental builds.
I figured they wouldn't.

If we value our privacy? Some of us do, some of us don't.

I value my privacy, but I don't put a terribly high value on it. If Google or Apple wanted to track my TV habits with the promise of serving me better in some way, I would probably sign up for that in a heartbeat. But when my off-brand TV wants to, I would decline.

That may mean some products and services aren't easily available to those that put a high value on their privacy.
