True, but it pretty definitively refutes the hypothesis that raising the minimum wage to $15 would dramatically increase unemployment in any reasonable setting. That is an important result. Now can have a discussion about the costs and benefits without the fear mongering.

Also, here's the full article this blog is quoting: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-10-21/doomsayer...
That's a valid (albeit awkward) sentence.

The T1 also sends pixels to the Touch Bar, although the MacBook's main processor is what actually does the rendering for said pixels (which are sent).
> How does it even make sense to compare these two quantities when they don't have the same units?

They both have units T^-1, don't they?

For example, they could both be measured in "Percentage increase per year".
As someone who applied for a job that I didn't find out about until the last minute, when the application engine locked up and didn't submit my application I was quite pissed off. Unfortunately, it didn't notify me that it hadn't completed the application. A friend of mine was working at the company and asked me a couple of days later why I didn't apply, after he agreed to be a reference for me and really upsell me to the boss.

That would have been one hell of an addition to my resume, and it's far more likely that plain email would have worked. Of course, a recruiter wouldn't have got his cut...

Sports used to be the one thing people could just enjoy. There wasn't any political bullshit or social shaming. Just competition and pageantry. It was one of the very few things someone could just go all out for and not worry about it. People of different political factions, races, and what have you could all go to the same bar and just watch their team.

That is no longer the case, and so this makes following sports much less desirable. The NFL has allowed players to hijack the sport platform to make their own political points. This is like pissing in your drinking water. Since the NFL did not remove or sanction these players, they are at least tacitly agreeing with them. Note to NFL: on any given political issue, 1/3 will agree, 1/3 will be mildly uncomfortable, and 1/3 will be pissed off. Can you really afford to lose 1/3 of your followers?

It just is mind boggling that the leadership of the NFL is so inept that they didn't see this coming when they got in bed with the political folks. Yay! Another aspect of life has been politicized for no good reason.

The point of the question is to see if a candidate can glue a loop,an if statement and a bit of arithmetic together, on the spot. Failing to come up with an answer to such a question is generally symptomatic of lack of problem solving skills.
"Things are better than they've ever been, on average."

Sure but that isn't how human psychology works. Especially in rich countries, where basic needs are met, inequality start playing a much greater role with respect to happiness.

Inequality has always been an important factor. The poor in France probably had it better than people in the stone age or medieval times when they made their revolution. Some can be said for the Russians. But they all made revolutions due to the high level of inequality.

If you look at countries experiencing big revolutions it seems to me to have not been about how poor or rich the countries were in absolute terms but rather how unequal they were. In fact in exceptionally poor countries you don't get any revolutions at all because people are to busy just surviving, and there is no intellectual class to advocate it and fuel the flames.

Also "better" is a tricky term. Every society place different expectations on people's lifestyles. One interesting thing I observed about America e.g. is that if you look at things purely statistically in terms on material goods you'll find that the Americans has more TVs, bigger house, more and bigger cars, more of all sorts of stuff, go out eating more frequently etc than say your average Scandinavian or Dutch person. Yet interestingly when you talk to these Americans life seems much harder. They worry about having enough money to repair their car if it breaks down. They need to go to work or whatever. They worry about not being properly covered on medical insurance, not having enough money for their kids college. They seem terrified of losing their job, or getting one will less good health insurance or whatever because they have a particular condition which requires this or that particular insurance which only the particular job they have now provides. So many seem overworked and stressed out.

In comparison, I don't even have a car, and it isn't a big deal. I go to work on a subway. My dutch friends would often just have biked. College education, no worries already taken care of by government. Health insurance. Same deal. Worried about losing job. Not a big deal, my work doesn't have any special perks I need and unemployment benefits are quite good so I will manage fine until I find a new job.

It seems American society has manage to create this system where the only acceptable lifestyle for a normal person is simply far more expensive than most can afford and they borrow money to keep up appearances. While in most of Europe you can be happy with a lot less. The really important things in life are taken care of like health, school, work etc.

Having smaller houses, cars and fewer huge flatscreen TVs seem like a small disadvantage in comparison.

I am not saying one thing is better. If American truly just want lots of stuff, maybe that is the best approach, but it just doesn't seem to make people that happy or calm to me.
There's lots of great cheese made in the USA. In fact one of them just won the "World Championship" in cheese:

Food in America has gone through a revolution in the last 20 or so years. American beer used to be considered awful and now is considered the best, most innovative and most complex by many people around the world. Our wines used to be considered awful until the 1980's and now many of them are respected and globally accepted as great.

New American Cuisine and it's offsprings have eclipsed French cooking in many respects. Although it owes so much to French cooking to be fair.

Yes, university is disgustingly expensive here, however.
The same could be said for economics.

For more logic-based economics, built a priori from axioms rather than a posteriori from empiricism (which is now coming under ever-increasing fire), start with Human Action by Mises. Ironically, the type of reasoning used is closer to what actual math proofs look like than anything coming out of metric-obsessed mainstream economics.

I don't see you as blaming rape victims. What I see instead is:

* A repetition of the trope that sexual culture is to blame for the impact of rape. Rape isn't sex, and prudishness what forced this woman to kill herself. Misogyny was. The issue in the culture we're describing --- and in its echoes in our own culture --- is the power dynamic between men and women, in which women are seen as having an obligation to somehow temper the sexual impulses of men they come into contact with, or else avoid men altogether.

* A diversion from what is a Handmaid's Tale-grade story about the victimization of women to the entirely unrelated topic of whether men suffer unduly from accusations of rape. That's particularly galling given the specifics of this story.

Whether you intended to or not, your comment --- which as Michele notes is at the top of the thread --- had the clear effect of minimizing the tragedy and injustice depicted in this story. I think we should be ashamed of this whole HN thread, which is dominated more by whether the BBC's reporting was unfair to a 400 billion dollar social networking company than by any kind of reflection about what happened to the subject of the story.

I don't know you at all, and I make no claims about what your intent actually was. I'm happy to assume that this was all unintentional. I'm writing about your comment, not about you.
Off-topic: I suppose my link [1] did have wrong title or timing to be noticed ;)

If you click on the link to Bloomberg you can read the conclusion:

"Some time ago, I suggested that we would eventually learn whether higher minimum wages were going to kill jobs. The early data is in, and so far it doesn’t look like they do."

This seems like an awfully broad conclusion to draw.

It is indisputable that minimum wage kills or exports some jobs (I know this is a fact because my company is planning to add fewer low wage employees and contractors in our local area based largely on minimum wage changes). The question is whether the people who benefit from the supply restriction (people in low, but not minimum wage jobs) benefit and then spend enough to cancel out the aggregate cost of the distortion. It may be possible that in Seattle's unique situation this was/is true, but even this conclusion seems like a "politically motivated economic analysis, this was what the [pr]opponents hoped would happen because it fit with way they think world should work."

One of the questions that these pieces skirt around is how inefficient is the "unregulated" labor market? Clearly some intervention in the labor market, like banning non-competes, makes is closer to efficient, but the question is what inefficiency is the minimum wage solving, and what is it creating?
Easy solution: Your parents are well off. Then a lot of those choices are less dramatic.
> 7. Chivalry. On Fridays, it will be expected that men will hold doors open for women regardless of convenience.

You know, I used to hold doors open for people regardless of their gender and expecting nothing in return. After all, I'd like the same to be done for me.

But you're right. You've inspired me to never hold the door for anyone. Ever again. Because they might see it as just because of their gender that I'm holding the door for them.

I think the idea of the comparison is that r (return on investment) is greater than g (growth of income) and that this leads to the problem of wealth concentration.

The relevance of the comparison is that the working class are dependant on g while the truly wealthy have and control r.
Power->delay off circuit->LED. Seems pretty direct to me. The delay off circuit would probably have its own connection to power as well.
Yes. Seattle also has an incredibly strong economy and (sadly) very tight housing policy: http://jakeseliger.com/2015/09/24/do-millennials-have-a-futu... that likely inhibits low-wage workers from living (or moving) there at all.

In the meantime, many Texas cities: http://time.com/80005/why-texas-is-our-future are building tons of affordable housing, even as superficially liberal cities like Seattle legislate it out of existence.
What a bunch of alarmist BS. Drop all the exclamation points. No one takes you seriously if you end every damn sentence that way.
It's always interesting to hear what's going on inside a company like ESPN. Companies seem to spring up organically around their original revenue source, so having to re-purpose your machine to create a new one must be a very interesting challenge.

If you fail to see that you never, ever engaging the top ranked woman here except to shoot her down completely contradicts your stated concern for the status of women, well, I don't know what to say to that. But, then, I never have known, which is why I haven't said it.

You do this sort of thing a lot and it is much more about enhancing your ego than about enhancing the status of women, which you seem to be not terribly knowledgeable about how to do effectively.

I don't disagree. But scope is something that's easily taught. And the term "maintainability" is subjective. Your team decides what's maintainable. So showing someone the door because they aren't aware of your version of "maintainable" is silly.

You can play this language-game all day with your candidates (and yourself), but it's largely a waste of time. I'd take someone who can "do" things, is willing to make mistakes, and willing to learn over someone who thinks "good coding styles" are set in stone and stubbornly adheres to them.

It's super weird to me that you perceive me this way, because my working model for you on this site is that I'm generally pretty happy to see you appearing in threads, and that we have an unusual amount of agreement with each other.

I do not care about your assessment of how well I'm enhancing the status of women. I'm not an "ally", just a commenter with opinions. You can score me an "F" on the rest of it --- I take no offense.

I think legacy USB 2 has dedicated pins and devices are expected to deal with all of the old legacy signalling methods in addition to the new ones.
I have been a working writer as well as a software engineer. I have been a broke poet and fiction writer (for years) and a senior level engineer (for years). I get to be a homeowner because of the software skills and I sent my kid to a good college. Overall I have moved back and forth. I've had 4 books published and I've had some really exciting tech jobs. So I have a 'both sides' perspective.

I have a computer science degree, not a writing degree. If I had gotten an MFA, I might have been able to get a teaching job in creative writing, but the the lit world is more status conscious so I would have had to go to a great school, say Brown, or the like. My CSC degree is from a state university and it has gotten me into top companies and start ups. I did not have to go into debt for my incredibly useful degree.

I think the tech world is actually more decent, fair, and respectful than the creative arts world. The rank exploitation of low paid writers (including the adjunct jobs most get) is truly awful. The level of personal sabotage and jealousy in the creative arts world, where there is not enough to go around, is disheartening to experience. My artsy friends are high horse about the tech bros but they need to be more mindful of the practices in their own back yard - which are worse, in my informed opinion.

If you want an art career you have to plan strategically. You have to go to a great school for an MFA, one that has buzz (e.g. Yale), and you have to network like crazy (there are ways of describing that that will get my post blocked), and you have to be a bit cunning, and you have to have family resources. Oh, you also have to get that MFA right away out of college, because the art world grooves on youth. Possibly for years and years you'll have to work hard without any idea if it will get you anywhere, although the more years go by, the more your chances dwindle. You also need to always be doing self-promotion. It's endless and I can't stand it. I am in that respect a typical engineer and thinking in these ways is unpleasant.

One of the weird things about the art world is that it requires so much money to get a career that rich kids are very over-represented. Young people from all over the world make it - there's lots of cultural diversity, but the other kind, the economic kind, not so much. It's creepy. I think of that every time I see another movie star kid who is making a movie. It's not cool people. It's disgusting.

But my overall message for all you tech geeks is that if you want to be an artist too, you can be. Go for it, be the best you can be, take it seriously, etc. Just realize it is not only hard but somewhat horrible. I have actually had some success and truly it made me love computer science even more.
In p≡p there's both, automatic key management and a KeySync protocol (yet being tested, not activated already) to sync private key material across the devices you want to read the same messages on.

See the source code on that:

- https://letsencrypt.pep.foundation/trac/browser/asn.1

- https://letsencrypt.pep.foundation/trac/browser/sync

As you say correctly, of course you've to take care: as a common denominator an id is used, in case of e-mail a certain mail address, whose e-mail channel for communicaion functions as the key exchange channel, too (meaning the devices send themselves messages ("beacons"), which are considered as technical messages by the p≡p engine and thus never shown to the user as such).

=> If you fear to have a cell phone hacked or lost, it's better to not put that in a device group. Also you can seperate business from private accounts or have different accounts and on top of that aliases for whatever purposes, referencing the same id (mail address). In short: you can have (like mostly today) no device group at all or just different device groups meeting your needs and "paranoia levels" (based on the trust you put in your devices).

The devices agree on a device group key pair, being the master key pair, still they sync all devices' private keys for that specific id, such that you can read all of your messages received on all of your devices (even if there were changing pubkeys in between used for encryption, because of your different devices, which were not yet synced in the past).

If a device is lost or stolen, that has to be manually signalized by one of the other devices in the device group and then the devices have to agree on an new device group key pair to encrypt their future communications (we're talking of PGP encryption here, so no forwad secrecy).

Admittedly we only put on heating in the evening for an hour or so. Southern England (UK). Attribute to it not being cold for the last two winters here. Duvets and hot water bottles are used regularly. Yet to turn on heating this year. Not looking forward to the cold. Water bill however is shocking.

Well, this is completely news to me, because it does not match up with your behavior. The vast majority of the time, you appear to ignore me entirely. The only time you engage me, it appears to be to put me in my place. I cannot recall you ever expressing agreement with me on the site.

If I simply have not noticed it, I would be thrilled to pieces to see evidence that it occurs and I simply missed it. Because I am entirely unaware of it, but painfully aware of the negative effect that the shunning of women by top ranked members has here.

I think that was very well done by the Wix CEO. It doesn't matter that he doesn't seem to understand GPL. His job is not to put out a blog post saying yes, we're idiots, liable for everything. His job is to put out a good look for the company, and then deal with this behind closed doors. This is meant as a fluff piece, and he knows better than to provide any definitive statements on what Wix will do, that they could be held too. Again, positive spin, and handle the rest in private.
