The phrase is loaded... with academic context and usually refers to "structural" unemployment and is used in the context of the Phillips Curve, which correlates it with the inflation rate. Because of rule changes made in the Reagan and Bush Sr years and finalized during Clinton, both CPI (Inflation), and U3-U6 (different Unemployment measures) were altered so that they "look better" for the "misery index".

What you can really say is that economists now believe that we are near the top of the cycle where the FED will have to raise rates to prevent inflation. If you are willing to accept higher (or accelerating) inflation, then you can have a lower unemployment rate.

Of course if you have a different types of employment (manufacturing/retail), different export/import ratios (trade deficit), or credit situations (Debt vs GDP) then the structural and "Full Employment" rates (which produce rising inflation) are different. Since we live in a more global economy now even relative to the 1990s, it's harder for any one nation to change those.

Approximately 0%. Outside the upper-middle class people don't have the luxury of not working. Real income has stagnated for middle and lower income people.
Don't you need a sleep after mail to make sure it is sent before the shutdown kills network? Feels race conditiony

Nit 2: I would add some select counts or similar to ensure a few big tables are there. Would maybe include the counts in the email.
Yup. So while the first reaction is fear (because we're wired that way?) the other side of the coin is these "new" entities also have the potential make positive change on the species.
It's positive in that it's tracking with U3. My point is that it unemployment on a daily basis, what mainstream America feels, is still twice as high as the "Full Employment" target set by the Feds.

As to purchasing power, I'm not able to readily find numbers not that. Last I heard, people are working longer hours for the same pay they received in 2007/8. If that's true, they are functionally making less money. I've seen it first hand. People working 45-50 hours to make up for short staffing. However, I only have a few localized, anecdotal data.
He very much did. And it looked to be more true then than now.
As a manager type, I care not about that. However, I do care about the per-user cost of a team messenger app.
> Often a premature one.

Can you share the ecosystem wide analysis that you did that led to this conclusion?
It gives you some idea what the job market is like, on average, based on people who are actually in the market.

From the point of view of employers looking for workers, only the people who apply for open positions actually count. If nobody's applying, there's a shortage. They might have to start paying more. That's meaningful, good news for workers.

On the other hand, if people who weren't looking for work start applying again, it would mean the official unemployment rate goes up. Seems like that could easily happen.
I agree there's shenanigans with iMessage, which is why it's not perfect. But I personally have no evidence it's malicious rather than incompetency, and in other respects it's better than what Google is doing by leaps and bounds. (And I use Android, not iOS).

Windows Phone, I think given how far behind Microsoft was at the time it finally was released, they should have rolled it out as completely free and open source. And even at anytime up until about two years ago they could have done this. Now, I think it wouldn't matter. Too bad.
Minor nit, but I don't think they reveal that the creature in The Thing was cut out of the ice and revived until the much later 2011 prequel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(2011_film)

> yet The Universe is and we can't say why

is there a 'why'? some people say it was 'created', but then the creator 'is and we can't say why'.
This is all eerily familiar. I never experienced a conflict like that, but i have experienced the pressure of other people's wants on what was own project made for my own fun.

> This experience also highlights that ownership can be problematic in open-source. When a project is open-sourced, can it no longer be said that it still belongs to its creator?

Once it's open, it's no longer yours. If you want to keep it your own, never open it.

Opening projects you care about only leads to pain and suffering for you.
I use those features all the time.
The movie Arrival (2016) incorporated this idea as its primary plot element.
I'm sorry, I just don't see the point in keeping people uselessly employed doing tasks that are better done by machines. Do you think we should stop using travelocity.com and go back to using travel agents? Do you think we should make Domino's stop taking orders over the web or phone app and go back to only taking orders over the phone? Do you think we should eliminate banking ATMs, and go back to making people show up during banker's hours and talk to a teller? Do you think we should eliminate self-checkout lanes at grocery stores(/Walmart/etc.) and go back to having fully-manned checkout lanes? Were you complaining about all these things before, or did you only start when touchscreen kiosks started showing up in chain eateries? ATMs, in particular, go back to the 1980s. How about pumping gas? Are you opposed to self-service gas stations too?

How is there any "dignity" in doing a job that's better and more conveniently (to the customer) done by automation, or by the customer themselves (pumping gas)? That's nothing more than make-work. If you want to put people to work, give them something to do that isn't so easily done by machine. I can come up with plenty of suggestions offhand: 1) like in the New Deal, we could employ people fixing up the National Park system. Building benches, improving hiking trails, building park buildings, etc., aren't things easily done by current machines. 2) America's infrastructure is in atrocious shape. Tons of bridges desperately need to be replaced. Lots of people could be employed in construction here. Bridges can't be built by robots yet (or any time soon since they're all one-off projects and vary so much, plus they're so huge). 3) There's supposedly a shortage of nurses. Send some people to nursing school. You only need a 2-year degree for the entry-level jobs. We don't have robots yet which can start an IV or do a sponge-bath. 4) We need more mass transit in this country. Put people to work building tunnels for subways and building subway stations.

Most of your comment is wrong. They've been discussing building a 1GW cable. 7000 times smaller than 7TW. A 7TW cable would be enough to transmit Iceland's yearly electricity production 700 times over. It produces ~10GW per annum.

Hot water is not piped directly into the homes in Reykjavík, it's heated up "cold" water, with artificially added sulfur. See another comment of mine here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14274085

In Reykjavík the water you use is not recycled in any way, it's pumped into a sewer from there into the ocean. It's definitely not pumped the >50 km back to Nesjavellir for reprocessing.
The Wikipedia page for de Bruijn sequences is pretty good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence

My personal interest is in generalized LFSRs, which can be used to generate de Bruijn sequences. From the wiki page for LFSR:

"Non-binary Galois LFSR

Binary Galois LFSRs like the ones shown above can be generalized to any q-ary alphabet {0, 1, ..., q − 1} (e.g., for binary, q = 2, and the alphabet is simply {0, 1}). In this case, the exclusive-or component is generalized to addition modulo-q (note that XOR is addition modulo 2), and the feedback bit (output bit) is multiplied (modulo-q) by a q-ary value, which is constant for each specific tap point. Note that this is also a generalization of the binary case, where the feedback is multiplied by either 0 (no feedback, i.e., no tap) or 1 (feedback is present). Given an appropriate tap configuration, such LFSRs can be used to generate Galois fields for arbitrary prime values of q."
> I could not use my GI Bill to go to code school. That was the number one roadblock

Nobody needs a "code school" to learn how to write code.
Using 1948 or the early 1950s without adjustment doesn't make sense. The US male labor pool was absorbed due to WW2 / the still vast expansion of the US military (and soon to be even more absorbed due to Korea). We had 550k men just in the US army at the start of 1948, with a US population base 1/2 what it is today.

By comparison, in 1939, between the army + navy + marines, we had just 334,000 total military personnel.

By 1954 we had something like 3.3 million active military personnel. That takes up a huge amount of labor slack.
For the most part the phrase "the gut" seems to be in fashion. I'm not so sure we know much about what's going on where, when and by what "third parties."

From what I understand, we have bacteria on the skin as well. And that full body washing with soap might not be a great idea. Sure, get the obvious dirty bits ;) but the rest probably just need a water wash.
I had this conversion with a feminist. I claimed that a large reason for wage stagnation is that women hit the workforce en masse in the 1970s. That's when the stagnate wages started. I made no judgement on women working. I just tried to explain why everyone's wages have barely moved: more labor supply. Compounding this is global labor. Sadly, the individual became quiet combative about these two facts.
Decommissioning goes over budget too. Fukushima was partly a result of people not wanting to swallow the decomissioning cost, preferring to extend the nuclear reactor's life beyond what they probably should have. Waste disposal is not a solved problem.

Are you aware of the Westinghouse bankruptcy due to nuclear projects, possibly taking Toshiba under with them?

>As soon as you actually try and sell your coins into the market, you see that you've eaten through the order book and driven the whole market down 10 percent. With

There is no way you could push down the market 10 percent today. Maybe back in 2011, or maybe in one of the lesser known cryptocurrency markets. But in Ethereum, you could unload a huge number of ETH and the price wouldn't budge. I'm assuming of course you're not an institutional trader, in which case of course Ethereum trading volumes are insufficient to absorb large trades without significant price movements.

>Smart contracts are seriously entirely useless unless you solve oracles.

Even a basic cryptocurrency transaction (sending ETH from Account 1 to Account 2) utilizes smart contracts. Having Turing Complete script evaluation just means the range of smart contracts possible becomes larger. So for example, schemes like Lightning Network are possible with Ethereum, without any changes to the protocol.

‘Flaubert in the Ruins of Paris,’ by Peter Brooks
Er... while for definitions of "downtown" and "stuffed" and "most of" I could agree with you, I don't think I agree with the thrust of your argument as opposed to rayiner.

Spent... 7? 8? years in baltimore, reading the police twitter and betting on how many triple homicides would occur today became a rather morbid drinking game. Certain areas, some even 2-3 blocks off Charles st are such that many of my friends didn't want to walk back to their houses alone, at least one was mugged off his bike on Charles itself, another had his house broken into, another peer was the "samurai sword" kid, if you remember that story. Even my breakdancing crew would joke about risks of going to certain venues on north ave, and we had a bunch of people who grew up in the center city there.

In short, I'd assert that "the areas out of the white cross" make up _much_ of Baltimore, even if it's not the much most tourists visit (e.g. anything outside inner harbor) and EVEN within the "white cross" we were VERY aware of the city we were in.
It is hard to accurately assess anything when large groups of people have made it abundantly clear that they will harshly prejudge you based on your reply.

Wow. All you have to do is give it an empty response, and it accepts it as valid and lets you in.

How did this get missed in QC? The first thing I try doing while I'm working on my little game is seeing if null or empty inputs allow things that should not happen to happen with each command/function I add into the system. I write the code, see if it compiles, and if it does I immediately test the function in-game with any potentially invalid string/argument I can think to give it. Isn't input testing/validation step #1 in QC for code?

What I linked to says "Uber sent emails to driver training them on avoiding detection (e.g. When at airport take down phone; have drivers sit up front; etc...)"

To that end sure, but then this whole discussion is pointless. Right now we have a known serious problem that has a known (by someone out there) way of identifying.

Ah, so Uber was using Greyball in Portland before the agreement was reached? I was not aware of that. It wasn't clear from what I had read. That would definitely make a big difference. If it can be shown that their activity was illegal and was known to be flatly illegal (not just "unapproved" or rubber-stamped by the local government) rather than merely untested in court, then there is a good case to be made for obstruction. I expect a hell of a defense if they actually levy charges, and I am eagerly waiting to see what that defense would be. I find this case very interesting.

Regarding process servers - yes, they will issue a substitute service and then mail it to you, sure. But my point was that you won't be arrested for trying to hide.

You can tell (even measure) how much of the time people are waiting for stuff from other people. That's the main thing standups are supposed to fix.

Now, you can still have confounding factors, because the project didn't stand still. You could have everybody waiting on a big deliverable from another team, for instance, in which case everybody's blocked, but the lack of standups has nothing to do with it. So you have to think about the results some, rather than just blindly accepting them. Still, it's better than just gut instinct, because it actually is an opinion based on facts.
I hate reactions like this. You've deduced that Etsy.com is likely a "dysfunctional organisation" for the mistake of missing an "Unsubscribe" link in a single email. If that's all it takes, we certainly live in an incredibly dysfunctional world (which is sort of true, I guess).

Way too often I see people in this industry pretend as though everyone else is expected to conform to the strictest of standards yet the same rules never seem to apply to our own self-created fires. "Google Apps is down! Clearly Google has some quality control issues!" Or maybe a well-intentioned human made a small unhandled error.
Whether you believe code schools are good or bad (I lean somewhat towards good), I wonder if we have not fully learned the lesson from the rash several years ago of fly-by-night for-profit colleges preying on vets and providing substandard education and inflated job promises, all on the GI Bill's dime. I worry that if the GI Bill was extended to code schools, we'd see the exact same thing happen again.
At first glance, his is too naive a conclusion. This isn't simply language-specific, it is further locale-specific in addition to simply the language, here's why:

Ahorita in Spanish (USA) means something else from Spanish (Nicaragua) for example. If a Greyhound bus driver were to use that word to indicate the bus is departing "Ahorita", I would assume that to mean the next 10-15 minutes whereas in Nicaragua, I would have no idea if it means 10 minutes, 30 minutes or even 60 minutes, so my follow-up question would be, "Do you mean 15 minutes or less?" To me, this is more a cultural thing, not a linguistic thing since in fact the language in use is the same, i.e. Spanish. As another example, "later" (EN-US) is not the same as in EN-IN.

Or maybe I'm missing the point of the research entirely ...
Apple overtakes FitBit as wearables vendor
This is actually quite amazing and one of the fields I'm most interested in.

Spatial audio / 3d audio is much more immersive and less gimmicky than 3D video, but I feel like people don't really care too much because they were so underwhelmed with 3D video. It's one of those things with high fidelity audio you can't tell a difference between what is real and what is fake.

Edgar Choueiri, a Princeton professor, was the first I know of that tried to commercialize his algorithm for spatial audio. I believe he got a deal with Jawbone to put in Jambox as a feature called "live audio mode". He did try to sell some hardware for audiophiles to build out home systems, though I'm pretty sure they were insanely expensive (10-100k range). https://www.princeton.edu/3D3A/index.html

There's also a great podcast that tells stories using only spatial audio. They're really immersive and sometimes I can't tell if the audio is happening in the podcast or outside my room. It's called The Truth: http://www.thetruthpodcast.com/

Chinese consumers do care about iOS vs Android. It's just that the Android ecosystem has been much too horrible in China (Play being blocked, big-name companies have their own "app store", affiliated apps keep waking up each other in background to increase DAU). Those problems go away automatically if you pick iPhone.

The best-selling Android phones in China (Oppo/Vivo, Huawei, Xiaomi) have this horrible problem in control, by providing their customized Android with aggressive permission control, background apps cleanup etc. This also closes up the gap between iOS and Android without Google's presence.

She probably became combative because you were deploying the lump of labour fallacy and in doing so either explicitly or implicitly blaming women working for the failures of economic policy since the 70s.

no, it's actually the reverse, oneplus got sick of cyanogen's shit when cyanogen threatened to sue them for selling oneplus phones in India, which is a huge market. Cyanogen (Incorporated) claimed they had an exclusive agreement with an Indian company called Micromax to sell cynaogenOS phones in India. Oneplus got fed up and re-implemented all of the great features of cyanogenmod in their own fork of android (OxygenOS/HydrogenOS, respectively for english and chinese language markets).

Cyanogen Inc ran themselves into the ground with dodgy business practices and threatening all of their partners, which resulted in no reputable phone manufacturer wanting to put their OS on any new models of phones.

Ask HN: LinkedIn got my Google Contacts – how do they do that?
Today, LinkedIn listed a large number people from my Google Contacts and asked me whether I wanted to connect to them. I double checked and I never had LinkedIn authorized to access my Google Contacts. And my Gmail password is different from LinkedIn password.

It is interesting that list is not the exact copy of Google Contacts but it is quite similar.

This post is not to complain but to understand what kind of voodoo LinkedIn is using to get users Google Contacts.
