Whether this happens or not, it's succeeding in framing "techies" as the cause of high housing prices.

Stop restricting new construction.
This is a common reaction I see from a lot of people. Tech is hard, but the truth is there are a lot of very smart people working on making it easier for everyone.

When something many people/companies do/use/have feels hard or out of reach, I think it's important to start asking different questions and look around for real solutions.

For the sake of an example https://www.cloudflare.com/ isn't exactly hard, and is free.
I think you're confusing career-driven and sexually empowered with "stupid and sexually promiscuous"
Have a look at Netlify (https://www.netlify.com) - our free tier is like GitHub pages on steroids including HTTPS for custom domains (and deploy previews, use any build tool not just Jekyll, redirect rules, etc...).
Those are just the references I am most familiar with.

The Wikipedia page [0] shows many other references, but unfortunately does not currently distinguish between silver rule (don't be a hypocrite) and golden rule (be an exemplar of your own virtues).

The limited, proportional punishment maxim also has a page [1]. The origin is undoubtedly Middle Eastern, but migration, empire-building, and colonialism has spread it around the globe. It is not quite universal, but it may have more adherents than any other incompatible principles regarding punishment and revenge.

It is not surprising that concepts originating in the Middle East have spread far and wide. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are the #1, #2, and #6 religions. Religions from India are #3, #4, #5, #7, and #9. Confucianism is #8, and Shinto #10. In addition to the religions, there have been at least a dozen empires that spread from or through that region.

Universal, for me, is a supermajority (>= 80%) of the economic power on the planet, which also makes a supermajority of the military influence. It's nice to throw non-influential cultures a bone every now and then, out of charity, but their children will be influenced by the cosmopolitan, global-market culture to a far greater extent than they will influence it in return. The cosmopolitan culture pushes itself into every corner of the globe with its mass-market broadcast media, and only pulls out the stuff that can be sold. It's like a "greatest hits" compilation album of every culture, heavily weighted by the history of world conquests.

The Australian Aborigines, for example, got to export the boomerang and the didgeridoo. South America gave everyone chocolate, cocaine, and samba. Jamaica gave everyone ska, reggae, and jerk chicken. If you wanted to get your core ethics in there, you should have built your empire sooner, or maybe invented the printing press or radio first.

While I've not tried LibreOffice (downloading now!), I think the Camino / Firefox comparison is a good one. My reason for choosing NeoOffice was because I wanted the most Mac-like experience and without a dependency on Java.

It looks like the main difference/advantage right now is integration with the native Mac font rendering & grammar/spellcheck engines, according to the front page of the NeoOffice website.
> look at what happens to pricing when the government is your sole customer.

Based on the available evidence for healthcare: it drops like a stone because the sole customer has all the leverage.
Becoming like every other technology park is __bad__.

Slightly off-topic, but I'd argue that right now we're in a bubble and that many technology companies are over-valued. Everyone thinks they're a unicorn. Unfortunately, most of them are wrong.

Wanting to keep your economy diverse is a wise decision in that situation. For every boom, there is an equal and opposite bust. Wanting to control growth is not unreasonable, and it is reckless to allow growth without any sort of oversight.
85 percent [of prosecutors] ran unopposed in general elections.
I would speculate the remaining 15 percent were assistant running against their boss -- which even in America, is a huge career gamble.
I find it sad that corporations have decided the internet should be predominantly a private space.

Think of it, all of those brilliant http://c2.org wiki's and ASCII-doc sites are now marked "insecure".

Fundamentally -- some wonderful scientists and engineers created a paradise of free exchange. Commercial enterprise introduced the concept of 'money'. A bunch of thieves robbed them. And so we all have to put up walls with locks on them.
Afaik the idea behind elected prosecutors and judges is to make sure that the law represents what the people want, since a prosecutor or judge that fails to convict when the people want a conviction won't get re-elected.

So yes, they are politicians, and I'm not convinced that's a good thing.

Of course, being north of the border, I'm not exactly versed in American state politics.

If higher pay generated athletes that were more entertaining to watch competing, there would be more substance here. Trouble is, competition is most of what is entertaining, less so the athleticism. There is something unnecessary about the rewards to the peaks of athletics.

Some people have won a popular lottery where their genetics combined with their determination adds up to a reward - popular because of the demand for the body type in some competition - while the same effort without the same genetics will have a less rewarding result. There's nothing intrinsically fair or even socially desirable in a society / economy that pays a large bonus here.

It's better the athletes get it than get nothing of course, because youth doesn't last forever. But perhaps the degree of power law is too much.
As the article mentions, triclosan can be effective in a completely different setting. It reminds me of another recent study that showed phenylephrine HCL gets metabolised too quickly to do any good when taken orally, even though it's very effective as a nasal spray. Many people switched to it when pseudoephedrine HCL/Sudafed went behind the counter, but the pills literally don't do anything they say they do.
You're just seeing what you want to see. The BBC works just fine in China and it's def pretty anti-China. The way I see it Opinion/Editorial heavy journalism is heavily suppressed. Blogs, things like Medium don't work.

What is seen by locals as the driving force of the censorship is suppressing hysteria/superstition/conspiracy-theories. That kind of stuff would flourish in a society like here. You can see how devastating it is in places like the Middle East.

So yeah they want to suppress things that paint the party in a bad light, but mostly they just don't want anything to get out of control
You could probably argue that their resellers are earning money from Apple products' popularity. Resellers and broken screen repairers actually!
I'm no expert but isn't the reason so that you know that it's a series of curried functions?

If it was written as

add :: Integer, Integer -> Integer

that would imply that it was a single function taking 2 arguments and that if you called it with only 1 argument it would fail instead of returning you a curried add function (a bit like partial application but not exactly).
They are worried that a tech company will collapse or move and leave downtown in a shambles.

This happened in Mountain View with SGI.

Tech companies will also cause rents to explode, driving away many independent businesses....so oddly enough, tech companies may create a dead zone accidentally.
This would mean more power residing in the federal government. Do we really need more power to be centralized? It seems to me that the fed is already a bit over their heads. What we need is educated voters and more alternatives to prison. We also need a more reasonable trial system; how can a low income defendant hire a decent lawyer? I think that there are things that the fed can do to better the situation, but butting in to states' jurisdiction is a slippery slope. The Ferguson suit is a case of 'good because it aligns with my beliefs'. What if the fed stepped in and did the opposite?
There are lots and lots of great actors and football players in the world. We only watch the best of the best, so they get a disproportionate amount of wealth and fame. You can't broadcast an image of the best firefighter and replace the jobs of other firefighters, like you can broadcast a movie and replace acting jobs.
> I don't understand why so many people seem so desperate to see AOO fail and go away.

In my case, the reason is splash-damage from the inverse-goodwill I have for Oracle and how their stewardship of OO (or lack thereof). To start off Sun handled the OOO-patchset (proto-LibreOffice) poorly, they should have merged it to mainline. Then Oracle came along and shat on the community leading to an outright fork. This I guess is par for the course for Oracle (see Hudson/Jenkins for another Oracle-instigated implosion).

I think the Apache Software Foundation allowed themselves to be 'used' by allowing Oracle to dump a dying AOO into their hands. At the time, it was clear that LibreOffice had won the the war that started in the OOO-patchset days, I don't know what the ASF thought would happen, but I hope they learn something from it.
Do you have data on total compensation per hour in other countries, or are you just relaying anecdotes?

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

In that case, why has the US experienced significant compensation growth? Does the US have technology that they don't share with Europe?

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.

A lot of non-wage compensation is structured as wealth redistribution towards politically favored classes (e.g. old people) - that's the whole point. So what?

It sounds like your real complaint that older voters have hijacked the mechanism of government to steal from the young. (See also cost of living in NIMBY-filled places like NYC and London.)
And being offended over someone pointing out the uncivilized healthcare in the USA rather than being at the awful healthcare system is so productive, yes?
+1 for "OP is always a faggot."
A subsidy is as good as state aid. Is subsidy a form of tax, no.

It is an issue of tax, not even as blurry as a subsidy.

China and the EU pertain the exact same way as Ireland and the EU. The EU has no say over Ireland's tax affairs.

Taxes are not state aids, Any form of say on tax in any way at all needs all member states to agree, - as from the Treaty of Lisbon on Tax Affairs.

It's a shame really that this is brought up, because one of two things will happen

1) It will be said the EU has control over the state of Ireland's tax policy, through the guise of 'state aid'. What fun that'll be

2) The ruling will be overturned and the EC will not be able to easily govern on its rulings. Legislation will be brought about to seek more control over EU member states.

Either way, each spell trouble for the EU. You can see the Brexiteers laughing.

"One of the most baffling aspects of the US criminal justice system is that incarceration rates continued to rise even after crime began dropping in the 1990s. If crime was dropping, it stands to reason that there should have been fewer criminals to lock up."

That isn't necessarily correct. Crime rates and prosecution aren't directly coupled. It could be that we are simply incarcerating a larger proportion of criminals.

Chicago, for example, had a murder clearance rate of 26% in 2015 compared to the national average of 64%. There is clearly an opportunity (a need in my opinion) to incarcerate more murderers especially in Chicago even though the murder rate has been decreasing in recent years.
Where? Downtown Palo Alto is saturated...and building up won't solve saturation on Alma, University, Page Mill etc.

Palo Alto has simply maxed out its carrying capacity...businesses like Palantir would be better off looking at areas like the emerging business park near San Jose Airport, where Apple has already committed to building a campus with even more square footage than the Spaceship campus.

What makes me angry about all this is the way the DEA can interfere with the scientific method. The DEA can strangle research because of a lack of research; cannabis has been stuck in this idiot cycle now for upwards of half a century. It is supremely unproductive, wasteful in both a financial and human sense, and ultimately fails because plants dont care if they're illegal; they'll continue to grow somewhere (with Kratom, this is SE Asia where it's use is as common as coffee, even when countries like Thailand attempted to ban and destroy it) If Kratom becomes inaccessible in the US, the current opiod epidemic will become worse. And not only that, but people will go to prison and have their lives ruined by possessing Kratom. I wonder what the minimum sentencing will be for possessing the plant. Can growing it be considered a felony? What if I think the plant makes a nice hedge?

I've heard too many anecdotes from well-adjusted ex-opiate users regarding the value of Kratom. Also, I fundamentally do not trust any research the DEA produces, since their continued existence is owed to their ability to pervert the scientific method using political power and vestigial "tough on drugs" thinking.

I believe that's the idea, yes. However it's very easy to see that it doesn't actually work that way. Unseating an incumbent candidate in local governments is damn near impossible, barring "scandals" or obvious extremes (but not even then, depending on the area we're talking about).

> I hope Samsung (and others) learn from this clusterfuck and decide to employ user-replaceable batteries in the future.

Na. Won't happen and honestly I'm fine with it. Replaceable batteries are a very tiny niche that the vast majority of users not only don't care about but don't want to have to deal with. It also further complicates waterproofing. You can even shove a larger battery in the phone if it's not replaceable.

> 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

To be fair it's supposed to expand versus catching fire / exploding so it doesn't necessarily indicate that it will explode though you should most certainly get rid of it ASAP.

Google’s Quantum Dream May Be Just Around the Corner
I'm not sure I necessarily agree with the GP, but average marriage ages have been steadily increasing.

https://www.google.com/search?q=average+marrage+age

For women its gone up nearly 5 years in the last 25. A 28 Y/O guy is probably dating women younger than the average marriage age at this point. Especially true, if those women happen to be college educated.

Of course, the "I'm not looking for a serious relationship" line is being used like "lets be friends". AKA "Your nice, but I'm looking for someone higher up the mating hierarchy."

Frankly, if I were in my 20's, single, and got a line like this from a women, unless it came with some form of explicit rejection, I would consider it a bonus. A single guy in his 20s should be enjoying his freedom, and having an bunch of casual date/etc partners shouldn't be viewed as a problem. Guys have time on their side, and that starts to become really apparent in the 30's.
> A subsidy is as good as state aid. Is subsidy a form of tax, no.

No, it is not a tax issue., Read the press release.

> China and the EU pertain the exact same way as Ireland and the EU. The EU has no say over Ireland's tax affairs.

The EC has authority over state aids and this ruling has nothing to do with the tax system or tax rates from EU members

> Taxes are not state aids, Any form of say on tax in any way at all needs all member states to agree, - as from the Treaty of Lisbon on Tax Affairs.

This is not a tax affair.

But as it is clear that you have not read the press release, you don't want to read it and you will repeat the same wrong things again and again, have a nice day.

But reality is what it is and this cas is not a damn tax case
That's not nearly ambitious enough - everyone deserves to live a comfortable life, and we as an industrialized society have enough physical resources to do so.

Alternative objection: the "in the neighborhoods they serve" sounds like a zoning and housing development issue, not a pay issue. Why are you trying to shovel more money at rent-seeking behavior that pushes up the price of housing?

If the top athletes were never born then there would be still be pro sports using other athletes almost as good, and people would still talk about how skilled they are and how they are the best in the world. Similarly for acting and music. These are winner-take-all professions. Being the best is not about reaching an absolute level of skill; it's relative to the rest of the population.

And that's leaving aside the randomness involved in which songs become a hit. If you have positive feedback (the famous become more famous) then the system is not designed to necessarily pick the best. It's just designed to pick someone. You have a filter where any difference will work and if there isn't a difference a boy band will be chosen at random. So the same structure can happen even if unlike sports, skill is hard to measure.

On the other hand there are skills that are easy to measure (who is the fastest worker in an Amazon warehouse) that don't matter as far as pay is concerned. But if we had televised box-moving competitions and they were popular then there's no reason in principle it couldn't be made to matter.
