Well, depends on your definition of value. In Marxian economics, with the exception of natural resource, value is created by labour, and commodities have both a use value and exchange value.
"Only" 16-18%?

How much of that from exports? Which pumps more money into the economy where it has a lot of follow-up effects. Given that a rise or fall in GDP of a low single-digit percentage point can already mean a big boom or bust the above number is huge.

One issue is that smaller apartment buildings just aren't going to have the amenities that make living in an apartment attractive. I live in a large apartment building which has a reception that receives packages while I'm at work, a well furnished gym, and a swimming pool. A tiny building with only a dozen apartments wouldn't have the economies of scale required for that.

These are common in north Europe, and many places in northern Europe are nice, but it's in spite of this building style rather than because of it. The problems are:

* As a resident the grass is useless. You cannot use it like a garden because it's not yours. You cannot put garden furniture there or plant things. Sitting there feels weird because all the neighbors can watch you from above.

* It doesn't work as a park either. People will not feel comfortable walking around or picnicking on these bits of grass, because they are too small and clearly belong to an apartment building.

* They turn into parking lots, because people want parking more than useless bits of grass.

The traditional closed city block structure is better and very popular. Building around the perimeter right against the street and a shared space in the middle.

Signal's new video chat, however, has worked really well after it got out of beta. There aren't many apps that manage to do video calls well between Android and iPhone, I'm a bit surprised that that feature hasn't gotten more attention.

> My morality doesn't work in terms of averages. "Better on average" doesn't equate to "good enough" to me....

Nobody is expecting it to. But do you know why poverty, disease, hunger and slavery are at far lower levels compared to historic norms? It's because at the global scale we are enormously richer than we have ever been before. We can afford multi-billion dollar programs to fight diseases such as Ebola, HIV, Malaria and the many others we have actually eradicated. We have huge reconstruction and investment programs for developing countries. Space technology, including satellite communications systems, GPS and weather monitoring are revolutionizing third world agriculture and market economies as well as saving lives.

A richer and more prosperous world is also a world better able to tackle the problems you quite legitimately raise.
I may be missing something, but you seem to have debunked your own comment.

The headline is "Men still earn more than women in the same jobs" and in your comment you both a) say this is a lie based on their figures, and b) quote their figures as saying Men earn 2.4% more than women in the same job with matched experience.

Are you sure you're not more part of the problem than the media you're attacking?

Weirdly, this is far from the first time I've seen someone angrily declare that the gender pay gap doesn't exist, and then cite sources that says it does. Which is kinda weird when you think about it.

edited to add:

I think what's happening here is that someone has decided that the simplistic figure of 76% or whatever doesn't count. Because you can compare apples to apples, which gets you the 2.4% figure. And they're so keen to make that point (and relevantly to rail against the "sexist anti-men mainstream media" which basically doesn't exist) that they ignore the still existing gap, even under those circumstances.

Which kind of distracts further from the point that if women have been systematically excluded from high paying roles for decades, or are penalised harshly for giving birth, then that'll still show up in the total figures, and can still be considered a problem even if some people want to say "it's your own fault for choosing to have children, anything that befalls you from that point is on you, and has nothing to do with society".

I'm still in the very early stage of my career (web developer currently), but I'm lucky enough to work remotely most of the time and live in a beautiful forested area of NC. What general field do you work in? If software, where within that?
Also similar to American houses, they now are all built around wooden frames. That's cheap and easy (the frames are made in a factory and just screwed together on site), but in a wet and windy island it's a very bad idea. Any significant roofing leak which isn't fixed immediately will destroy the house, and helpfully these wooden framed houses are dressed in fake brick and plastic cladding which cover up evidence of leaks.

Depends what your definition of 'terra nullius' is, and whether you believe that Aboriginal people were 'uncivilised' and if they were uncivilised then can another country claim legal settlement of that land for that reason.

The debate will never cease.

In the thousands of years Aboriginal people had here, it's a pity they didn't unite in greater numbers, and have the foresight to build a few permanent structures as symbols of a united people, both for their own reasons and in anticipation of invaders from across the seas.

Upon seeing obvious signs of a united people, impressions would have been different. But they didn't have a sense of ownership of the land. It never occurred to them that other humans may come and want what they had. They were unprepared.

It puzzles me why they couldn't envision such an invasion, when they would invade each others tribes routinely. They were not strangers to war and conflict including turf wars over hunting grounds. But they failed to unite as one people, probably due to the huge distances in Australia, but still... 40,000 years was plenty of time to get organised.

Superannuation is an interesting issue.

I don't think the problem is that there's too much investment sloshing around, but rather it's that investment incentives in Australia are horribly distorted by the tax system (and in two cases, IMHO, by the lack of a certain tax [0] / price on a negative externality [1]). So the money gets funnelled into unproductive investment (or socially/globally harmful activity).

I get even more concerned when people float ideas like mandating that x% of super must be invested in infrastructure projects, or allowing super to be withdrawn early to pay for a house deposit (shudder). The tax treatment of super itself is also completely messed up: it's regressive and completely at odds with its own policy aim (i.e. to reduce future age pension outlays). You can thank Kevin Rudd for squibbing an opportunity to address this, because he wanted a nice headline instead.

The government really has to level with the population and let them in on the big secret about super: it's not "extra money" that you get in addition to your wage, it's an additional income tax where the revenues are locked away in managed investment funds (making it harder for politicians to get their grubby little hands on the revenue).

[0] Land-value tax, which corrects an inherent investment distortion (i.e. privatisation of land-rents).

[1] Carbon pricing.

The last one - super for houses - will obviously and explicitly destroy the lower and middle classes. There's a lot of people who will not see this as a bad idea - and then a lot more who'll be forced to dip into it anyway to have a hope of even owning a house, or any property large enough to start a family in.

Land is expensive in the US as well depending on where you live. However, building construction techniques are different in the US, which brings down costs tremendously. In the US, newer residential homes are mostly wooden, "stick built" (even apartments!) buildings which go up in the matter of a few months. Bricks are even used as siding facades instead of structural support. In Germany, buildings are constructed with a limestone/sand/brick masonry mixture, take much longer to construct and of course are higher in costs. But homes in the US aren't as resilient and are often torn down and rebuilt, whereas in Germany, homes are built for the long-term and passed down between generations.

I don't mean this as a response to you personally, but instead to everyone who works this way.

We've been in this situation lots of times, where we'll write some code, then finish the solution after a few days or a week, then look at it a month later and say "Wow, this is really not a good way of doing it," only to spend another few days or weeks rewriting it.

The idea of spending 10 minutes drafting a solution, throwing it out, spending another 10 minutes on diagrams and guesses, throwing it out, typically gets met with "Just _code_ damnit," but, diagramming could compress months of rework into minutes.

> no way you can do what autotools does in a Makefile

Well, you're responding to something that wasn't actually said; "these things" quotes specifically the list of requirements given by the previous poster -- CFLAGS etc.

Your example is indeed valid, it's an ugly case and I agree that testing for the feature specifically (rather than arch, compiler) is always preferred. But let's look at the practicalities -- how many of these cases do I actually need in a codebase to tip the balance that would justify use of autoconf? In your example, a simple #ifdef against the platform (Windows/BSD/Linux) and it's gone. qsort_r is off limits for massively portable program anyway, so autoconf's ability to help is limited anyway.
The point isn't the specifics of that one article. The point is that because most news organizations have soiled their reputation by misconstruing statistics to generate outrage, many people don't trust legitimate outrage-worthy articles anymore.

Choice for what? The article talks about a very specific domain (web applications solving a certain class of problem). Many organizations use multiple data stores and handle different problems.

At Goldman Sachs there is almost every imaginable type of data store in use. All carefully vetted decisions that are largely the right choice much of the time. Almost all of it flows into some form of web application at some point in time in a giant interconnected system.

I am very happy we don't use a single class of data store. If we did we'd be fucked.

The "thesis" may apply very narrowly to a small web app of a certain size. But honestly if you are building something that cookie cutter are you really building something unique? What you are doing has probably been commoditized.

I'm 22, so I suppose I'm a 'kid' to some here, and I stopped reading this very quickly. It's not funny, clever, or well-written.

The text certainly didn't inspire me to enable JS so I could see the code or images.

I think it's a shame we seem to be veering ever more toward 'code is all that matters' (or whatever the product of work is if not code) - not writing, presentation, communication, etc. - the result is rampant unprofessionalism.
Conscious experiences are correlated with - but irreducible to - physical phenomenon. You can say that red "is" light with a wavelength of ~700nm, but that is insufficient to communicate the experience of red to someone born blind. That is really the more important aspect of the hard problem in my opinion.

Let's assume that experience is irreducible, and you accept your own consciousness (which I hope you do!). That seems to leave a few possibilities:

1.) All normal matter is conscious
2.) Some normal matter is conscious - and we're back to the problems I previously listed
3.) Consciousness is matter/energy of a kind physics has completely missed somehow

From my perspective, #1 is the simplest, #2 is complicated, and #3 seems implausible given the fact that we've so precisely probed reality down to the sub-atomic scale.

Also, we should be careful about being overly reliant on scientific evidence. The only evidence for the existence of consciousness is your own subjective experience of it. There is no objective evidence that consciousness exists. It would seem to me that we should at least be able to prove the existence of consciousness before we make the claim that scientific reductionism can explain it.
