I was comparing "now" with medieval era... 1990 isn't exactly that far back.

Also, if you look at your links and click "max", although things have improved since 2010, they aren't that good, specially when you consider also other factors.

For example, the percentage of youth forced to live with parents keeps increasing:

https://www.census.gov/hhes/families/files/graphics/AD-1.pdf

In many countries, there are large amounts of fatherless children, for example black children in US was about 73% of them being fatherless.

Some countries still have devastating amounts of youth unemployment, Greece for example right now is 46%

http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/youth-unemployment-ra...

Also, although now everyone is "wealthier" because random stuff noone needs is cheaper, living costs keep rising, for example health care costs, housing costs, and in many places food costs have been rising faster than both inflation, and income.

Brazil for example is having constant strikes since about 10 years ago, even during economic boom, with people upset with food costs, frequently strikers instead of demanding higher wages, they instead demanded more food-related benefits.

Food prices in Brazil rose 173% in the last 10 years, while inflation was 122% and wages rose 68%.

And yes, it is easy to get sucked into "things are bad", when they are. At least to me, and almost every single friend I know.

We call a standard work day 8 even though it isn't exactly 8. If indeed the idea was to shift a standard work day from approximately 8 hours to approximately 6 hours, it seems reasonable to refer to it as the "6-hour work day". (I haven't read the report, so won't comment on whether that was indeed the focus, as opposed to a more flexible 30-hour week.)
Counterintelligence projects were the reason Klaus Fuchs was caught so I don't know if you can say any specific program is pointless because it was unsuccessful. Maybe you need to cast a lot of rods to catch these fish. Obviously he wasn't caught by the FBI but it certainly made it more than marginally harder for the Soviets when an extremely well placed and high value asset is caught.
>> "The front-end server that drives youtube.com and YouTube’s APIs is primarily written in Python, and it serves millions of requests per second! YouTube’s front-end runs on CPython 2.7, so we’ve put a ton of work into improving the runtime and adapting our application to work optimally within it."

So has YouTube already migrated over to using Grumpy (and no longer running python in production)?
Well, China reinforces its Maoist image from time to time with goose stepping military parades that seem archaic today; then there is the bizarre censorship, and have you ever seen the cult of personality news cast at 7PM on CCTV? China does itself no favors in trying to shape a more modern updated perception of itself on the outside.
Ah yes, the old "u don't even kno wat its liek!1"
> So you have 6 months time to deposit your old 500 and 1000 notes which even resident Indians don't enjoy as a privilege.

Previously, we could simply exchange Indian currency to any other currency abroad. But now there is no way for us to exchange money in US.

My whole family will have to go to India to exchange money, one person can only carry a maximum of Rs. 25,000. So six members of my family would have to take time off from work and go to India to exchange 1.5 lakh Rupees. Moreover, it would cost us around Rs. 6 lakhs to make a trip to India.

I don't want any privilege, I just want my hard earned money back.

> Why are you whining?

I am not a blind bhakt. I lost 1.5 lakhs in this Modi's scam, this scam also destroyed my father's business in India.

Modi killed over 100 people and destroyed millions of jobs, so he can write off bad loans worth billions for his cronies.
I would assume results rankings are based on how many people click the link after searching the given terms. Probably no one searches "search engine" on Google then clicks on a link to google.com .
Yep, they missed the mark on delivering 80,000 vehicles. By ~2700 vehicles. After dumping a key vendor of auto pilot hardware and retooling in the middle of the quarter.

Good catch, I almost looked it up but I got lazy. I don't know if the Feynman bio I'm reading specified exactly who caught him but it didn't seem like there was ever any particular question whether or not he had done it but I can't either say that I know he was, I've just read it and not looked into the details myself.
For example, Disney/Marvel changed the location from Tibet in the Doctor Strange movie so as not to offend China.

That's got to be intentional, either as an amusing Easter egg, or to try and provide an example of their unbiased approach.

It certainly doesn't jive with the page rank approach.

No, its written to support 2.7 because the majority of Google's code they want to over haul is in 2.7. I don't think much of this is fixed by python3, at the very least the speed benefits you get don't even compare. See the graph on the OP comparing # of threads using CPython and Grumpy
With all due respect, I think you have sort of overinterpreted the point he was trying to make.
Thank you for the compliments! I'm especially glad you like the diagram.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. It perfectly summarizes in brief what the re-releases did to change the original artworks. Some things like replacing cardboard cutouts are nice, others not so much.
Plenty of users willingly find use cases and buy devices with "not excusable" amounts of space. If I were less charitable I would call your definition of the term not excusable.
Nice guide.

I did this over the holidays just to see it in action. It was a pain to get the emscripten sdk installed (especially on a slow connection) but it's quite cool to see it in action.

There's also a asm.js target which you can add like this:

$ rustup target add asmjs-unknown-emscripten

I'm not sure about browser support for asm.js but recent versions of node support it.
Can you activate Google home without saying Google yet? Okay Google! Is about the most awkward thing to have to say as a wake word as I have heard. It makes me want to throw my phone if I have to say it more than once. Hey Google! Isn't much better.

They are never going to win if you have to babble awkward phrases when you use it. Alexa just rolls off the tongue.

Edit: Amusingly, when I said "OK Google!" "Change your wake word" to my phone just now... It replied with: here is information from Amazon.com. (information about how to change Alexa's wake word to Echo or Amazon).

Ok Google. You have to fix this.

I completely agree and I included the comment about preferring a discount sports store over this particular museum as a personal anecdote, not as a reason to oppose development. The city certainly shouldn't base its decision on the proposal to suit my particular desires, particularly as I no longer live there. And to clarify, I would actually love to visit a museum devoted to American Illustrators.

Again, I'm also very much against much of the building review process I see on display in SF, especially as it relates to things like architectural review. Even historic preservation, while well meaning, is often misused in SF to block development. Part of the reason that SF is so expensive to build in is a result of the permitting process where neighbors can lodge complaints to hold up development even in cases were the proposed building falls completely within the normal zoning guidelines. With very few exceptions I completely disagree with architectural/design based aesthetic building reviews and generally view most zoning rules as a way to exclude poor people from certain neighborhoods, or increasingly, entire cities.

However, in the case of a museum being situated on exceedingly rare open public space, I can make an exception to my dislike of architectural review. This is public land being gifted here, I think the citizens of the city have a right to have their opinion heard on whether or not the proposed building's design conforms to their desire for the site. SF has no shortage of good examples of crazy NIMBYs but I still don't feel like this is a good example of NIMBYism when the development is situated on public lands that are specifically held in trust for the community.
Well, my 2013 MBP does that, to the point that if I leave it for 6hrs it's out of battery such that I cannot even turn it on. Real shitty. Don't know if I'm just bad at this stuff or if most computers do that.
American investors and government influence the content of Hollywood movies that depict the US or US activity, so I'm not sure why that should be particularly shocking. This is what happens in a globalized economy.
One of the big pieces missing here is a picture of what the original design for the Lucas Museum was. Articles elsewhere [1] show just how generic the original plan was. His half-assed mission revival idea snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by being strikingly bland.

Dropbox was definitely a good product and for the most part it still is. But with Google and Amazon going towards the free unlimited storage plans, I have my doubts on Dropbox from here on out. IPO just looks like a way out to me.

"The downside is less development and deployment flexibility, but it offers several advantages. For one, it creates optimisation opportunities at compile time via static program analysis."

Optimisation. This is a smart move, hard though. A compiler, written well allows the back end to improve the code. So the whole code base can improve with improved analysis.

"The biggest advantage is that interoperability with Go code becomes very powerful and straightforward: Grumpy programs can import Go packages just like Python modules!"

Extending Python (youtube codebase) with Go modules. That's interesting.
If you are willing to pay 500$+ for devices with 32GB of storage then it's your business but it's not excusable.
I don't think Apple offering 32GB is excusable today either.

And as for the users they buy what they have, most devices don't offer more it doesn't mean they shouldn't the OnePlus One had this too and the 16GB version was pretty much killed because the overwhelming majority of the orders were for the 64GB version and this was like what nearly 3 years ago...
What a waste of a study. If they the end result is that they didn't realize the cost up front. I think this is just a poorly written click bait title.

100% they knew the cost. The outcome was :

>The take away was largely positive, with nurses at the home feeling healthier, which reduced sick-leave, and patient care improving.

While we are headed to super automation and the reduction of workforce (And a stagnant or growing GDP) it is either free money for the non-workers or reduced work hours. It's Jetson's again.
That's great news! I'm going to take a look at it tonight.

Postgres of course does needs some special work to make it failover in production gracefully to a standby server. It would be nice to see something that's designed for it like redis work, but of course, that's a limitation of how redis is designed.

Regardless, I don't think I mentioned this properly, but SeaweedFS is amazing and it's very impressive, and using it at some point is not yet off the table for us. :)
We seem to be in an era of microservice dissing. It reminds me a lot of the recent era of monoservice dissing. Just an observation.
I'm very very surprised that Medium has issues and they needed to cut 50 employees. And sad. I was thinking they were doing quite well.

Now, I'm concern that there are other startups which have similar problems like Medium even if they are considered as success stories. So I'm not even sure which companies I should use as example of "this is how to run the startup".

What you think about following companies?

- Slack: maybe it is just a temporary hype?

- Uber & Lyft: maybe rides should be 100% more expensive?

- AirBnB: a lot of money is spent on fighting regulations - but elections are every 4 years and regulators will change...

- Dropbox: maybe it is the end of PC <-> cloud sync?

- Github: maybe it is just hype because they are have free option? Maybe large companies are not ready to source dev to github?

- Stripe: Maybe they have high valuation just because a lot of small startups are using them - but as soon as startups grow they move to cheaper systems?
Why not? Out in the real world most users don't have the ability to peer into their code and recompile. Computing has a rich history of throwing hardware at problems when you can't fix em in software
Correct, Grumpy cannot yet run Grumpy :)

Develop tech to make alternate feed cheaper without dropping milk production or quality compared to alfalfa.

Improve water distribution in soil (I think there is a way to optimize this, varying by soil type and many other factors, that would minimize runoff). Or, get easier systems to recycle runoff. Ideally something with no/few moving or manufactured parts.

Reduce the cost of desalination plants and create a more realtime water market. Having one single water market would be a fundamentally technical task (albeit a complex one), but would level out prices, removing the incentive to make the policy mistakes.
TL;DR the study is a 30 hour/week study and in practice the employees work 6 to 6.25h a day. When you speak about the study in laymen terms, you can say 6 hour/workday pilot because that is what it is in practice , however to be scientifically correct it is 30 hours/week pilot.

Full explanation ->

From the report with Google Translate

> Full-time dimensions in the study is 30 hours / week compared to normal working hours at 38.25 hours in the daytime alternatively 37.00 hours (depending on working agreement at the time of appointment) and 36.33 hours for the night.

So the report clearly states 30 hours/week as "heltidsmått" (a measured full-time). Not 6 hours/day.

What about "in practice"? If you look at the first report after 6 months

http://goteborg.vansterpartiet.se/files/2015/10/2015-10-07-6...

Page 6, two tables of example schedules, one to the left before the pilot and the right during the pilot. Remember that a work day includes a free 30 min lunch break so there is a difference between the two columns Period and Timmar (Hours) for 0.5h except the night shift, no free lunch there!

As we can see all day shifts are either 6h or 6.25h during the pilot.

So what about the 5 to 7 hours? I think that is the range what the pilot accepts as "6-hour" workday measurement, i.e you have to have min-max otherwise you could put everything on two days.

Found in the summary after 12 months slide 8

http://we.gu.se/digitalAssets/1574/1574441_2016-04-21-1445-s...

Left column, the Trial 5-7 hours/day as "ram" (frame, within these numbers, budget)

But in practice the schedule ended up as 6 to 6.25h. I guess to try to be true to 6-hour workday ideal.

Note: working hours in Sweden is regulated to 40 hours/week.

https://www.av.se/arbetsmiljoarbete-och-inspektioner/lagar-o...

New note: one of the political parties behind this pilot, the Left party, calls the pilot "six hour working day/30 hours working week". That should keep it covered!

"Discussion" isn't really the appropriate term to describe what I see on Twitter. I think "spastic digital shit-flinging" would be more accurate.

Rust and Go are always on the front page.
As far as I know it's because the Rust is filling in the gaps - two of the three articles are about relatively new features. And the next Rust release should close the stable/unstable gap by stabilizing some macro/compiler plugin stuff.
Calling bullshit might not the best approach if you want to convince others to see things the same way though. Could you lead with your reasoning, rather than by outright dismissing the original argument? (Especially using a term like 'bullshit', or even 'hippie logic' that's likely to shut people down from considering your points, whether that makes them delicate or not.) Just putting myself in the parent commenter's shoes, if I expressed my thoughts regarding the study, and read the response that my position was hippie talk without merit, my natural reaction wouldn't be to reconsider my position.
I find it odd you use your grandparents (horrible) experience (I'm assuming in WWII?) to bolster your argument. Not sure what that has to do with being needlessly antagonistic.

And using terms like "bullshit" and "hippie logic" and calling that "being honest" does not serve the discussion, rather whatever need your ego has to invalidate the expressions of others.
I don't dispute that they have done harm, but I think everyone is getting a little ahead of themselves. We have no idea what it is like (yet) to live in a true police state but judging by the average perception on HN right now about the FBI, CIA, NSA we're getting shaken down in the street daily and spied on in our homes.

The truth is much more nuanced and these are massive bureaucracies and if you average the effects of everyone in them and all that they do I honestly don't know whether its a net positive or negative. The problem is if they do something right, we'll likely never know and we can never really know what our lives would be like if they didn't exist.

We should fight injustices and be vigilant but I think people understate the good and overstate the bad. If I could wave a wand to do away with them here and now I wouldn't know what to do, but I know I wouldn't do it without question.
It cost the city more, but it saved the national government 4.7 million in unemployment payments.

Ember is the spiritual successor to Sproutcore, which powered many of Apple's early web apps.
I don't think Medium understood the online media economy when it began, and I don't think they understand it now. With the advent of the Internet, content creators like newspapers and television networks saw the barriers to competition slip away. They were confronted simultaneously with burgeoning supply (which pushes prices for that supply down the curve) as well as more rigorous methods to track how people respond to advertising. One reason why online ads cost less than those in the print edition of newspapers is because they can be tracked, and the results show that people don't respond that much to them. The argument for pricing print ads higher is that print editions have actual subscribers, and therefore disposable income. That subscription model was the basis of a golden age of news for decades, because publishers could be assured of their income, and disengage their reporters from the battle for clicks. They were free to pursue the most newsworthy news. It was a kind of ivory tower. Now that tower is crumbling, faster every year, even if Trump's election caused an uptick in subscriptions in the digital editions of some newspapers. Online subscribers will always be a tiny minority of all readers (I subscribe to some publications, but I understand why many don't), because of the river of free content. In an age of disintermediation, content has gone in the opposite direction, handing more and more money over to middlemen like the ad networks and search engines and social networks, while content creators get less and less of every dollar. They are, in a sense, like farmers, who raise our food from the earth but receive very little compared to the distributors. Laying off 50 people and changing one's business model won't change that dynamic one bit.
