Why the focus on married women earning less than single women instead of focusing on household income?

Even if the single woman earns more than a married woman. For the most part, a married couple should have more disposable income after living expenses than her single counterpart. Married couples have a greater per capita net worth than their single counterpart.

In our case, because of choices we made together, my wife earns a little over 10K less than she did when she was single 5 years ago, but because I could depend on her to carry health insurance and she has more flexible schedule, that helps our family, I was able to switch jobs aggressively and I earn roughly $50,000 more than I did before we got married. We are both better off.

Once they are married, the couples also are able to take advantage of economies of scale – anything from buying just one dishwasher to relying on one another’s health insurance. That allows them to build wealth more quickly than their peers who are single, divorced or living together romantically.

For example, a married man may be able to work 12 hours a day to please his bosses and get promoted, because he and his wife can divide household duties so he can get ahead. That’s not as much of an option for a single parent.

You really can't. When dealing with high priced items, always ship with insurance and signature confirmation. It costs more but it's worth the trouble. I'd had cases where the seller claimed the box to be empty. I've had cases where they claimed it to be damaged. Whether they are lying or not I don't know, but that's where the shipping insurance covers it.

The cases that the seller does want a return, you really can't say no. I usually just say yes, I can process a return, but can you explain what is wrong with the item? Maybe we can walk through it before processing a full return. Usually you can get away with compensating them something since no one wants to go through the hassle of the return.

I also make sure I tell them to ship with signature confirmation and tracking. Since I offer "free shipping", that means they would have to eat all the costs when they return the item. More often than not, it's not worth the hassle for them.

After hundreds of sales, I would say there are definitely some complications, but more often than not it's fine. It's one of the risks you have to consider when selling.

The OP is now a single income household, and is £400 in the red every month. Also they have just had a kid (big cash drain), so I can't imagine there will be much socialising in the near future. Think they may need to "move to the 'burbs"
Having lived in both for a few years each I can definitely say that SF is cheaper, at least on a per-sqft basis.
You also earn twice as much in SF (plus the equity lottery).

That all said: SF certainly ain't no London. I'd still pick London any day of the week.
The term "standard" in this context means "governed by a standardization body like 3GPP, etc." This is significant because the FRAND limitation comes not from legal restrictions on patents but from these standardization bodies themselves. "Yes, QCOM, you made a far superior air interface for radios. In recognition of your superior design, we will use your patents as our standard but only if you agree to license it to anyone on 'fair' terms."

First: mmastrac was explicitly talking about rooting Android devices via an exploit. Since as far as I know there are Android devices available that can be rooted on your own, buying one where an exploit is necessary is a conscious decision by people who don't care about such rooting. So your argument is off my point.

Thats very subjective. No easy access to mountains and proper outdoor sports. Not very friendly people. British weather. Much of your time is spent on the underground. So it really depends on what you value in life. (Personally I am not a fan of London).

Huh? Do you really get 'bad' public schools?
> This requires a higher than average salary from a graduate job, (which is the life stage when people might reasonably start having children)...

Sorry, it worked this way in mid 20th century. Personally, I didn't even _think_ of having a child before 32, and when it happened, it was still financially challenging.

In Geneva, where I live, the mediab age of the first childbirth is 35.

Perhaps it would be an idea to use a virtual machine such as VirtualBox instead?
Yes, a vulnerable system can get infected without user interaction.

This malware somehow got seeded, either by (1) direct scanning the internet for vulnerable systems, or (2) traditional "open-this-link / install-this-file" emails/downloads. Maybe that's why we see at least 3 bitcoin addresses: 3 different "seeding" groups.

Corp networks shouldn't be accepting outside SMB connections, and home routers will block them too, so that's where user-initiated emails/downloads come in (or someone connecting an outside laptop).

"Salary is related to the value of an employee's labour."

That would be lovely, but I think salary is related to what the employee can get away with paying the employee, regardless of the "real" value. It's not a totally churlish example to point out how little good mothers get paid by the state for their value of their work.

There might be a similar reconsideration of how living expenses are reached.
I first opened it on my smartphone and didn't get why you mentioned motion sickness but reading it later on laptop I could feel why it would give out such an impression. It felt a bit constrained on my 1366*768 device though and the experience was better on mobile.

It would be great. However, it would also obligate us to solve the problem of resource distribution that is currently being solved by the system of working a job for money, then exchanging that money for goods and services.

One is part of a FRAND agreement and the other one is not. That's all there is to it. 'De facto' standards have no weight here.
I am curious. Where on the planet is it currently attractive to work and reasonable cheap to live?

London, San Francisco etc. are expensive because of the wellknown opportunities there; are there really any places where you can have it both ways - inexpensive and filled with well-paid jobs?
As near as 5 years ago tech-illiterate friend of mine did a 'computing' course in the UK. Most of it was using a word processor, which is fine, but the 'exam' consisted of knowing exactly which menu/shortcut key was used in Word 97 to achieve a goal - bold some text, etc.
I had read that the Sea Shadow was actually too stealthy. Sure you're radar couldn't see it, but it also left a boat shaped hole in the ocean.

That is still extremely high depending on where you are coming from. The US also uses a marginal tax system and the highest bracket is 39.6% and starts at ~$425k (varies based on how you are filing). ~$38-90k bracket is 25%.

The pedagogy point didn't get explained and harped on well enough.

How you interact with people, the words you use, the grammatical and dialect choices you make, and the tone you take all influence how people see you. Being able to put the "standard, professional English" face on your work and interaction is an incredibly valuable skill. Various flavors of vernacular English, casual address, and informal rapport isn't incorrect, wrong, or inappropriate - it just doesn't have the same sort of effect on the people who will later demand a particular sort of interaction with you.

In short, there's communication habits that will make it incredibly difficult to maintain white-collar employment, and one of the things that college does is teach students to use white-collar professional communication habits.
COBOL can be taught en-masse to farms of programmers if the rate is high enough. This isn't a technical issue, it's an economics issue. Some of the technical debt paydown will be captured by large bodyshops. Alternatively, the entire software will be outsourced to firms like Accenture or WiPro.

That's essentially what my bookmarks are. An index of self-curated articles, tutorials, tools, books, etc. of things I'm generally interested in. Before I put something in my bookmarks I do a quick skim and decide if has value, even if it's not relevant right now. So that in the future instead of a Google search, where I'd have to browse through a pile of results to identify the gold nuggets, I can instead search through my bookmarks knowing that whatever pops up is going to be immediately useful because I've already screened for it.
I suspect he could easily double his salary in the US, and if outside SF/NYC, would have lower cost of living. Health care and secondary education would be increased costs, but a lot of that would be addressed by the right employer and right location.
How did you find that kind of deal on airbnb? I tried it myself during winter months in London, most airbnb properties don't give any discount or a fairly nominal one (e.g.: 10%) on multi-month rentals, so I found it much more expensive. I found eventually went with a serviced apartment.

In fact, the whole concept of "pollution" on Mars makes little sense. We could convert it to radioactive slag and plaster it with "Eat at Joe's" billboards, and it wouldn't hurt anyone or anything.

What we ought to be doing with Mars is terraforming it. I'd start by collecting extremophile bacteria from Earth and letting it loose on Mars and see if any of it takes hold.
It took me years to understand this dynamic, so of course I'd be interested in how the reasoning is wrong. But hn@ycombinator.com would be a better place to communicate that at this point.

It's a big nuanced topic but I'll elaborate a bit more.

Amazon has bigger fish to fry than eBay. Amazon can always focus on second hand market place later while leveraging their infrastructure to ensure a win. My bet is that they will take a long time to get around to it. In the meantime phone based and social based have a pretty good shot at competing. This will also take a long time.

eBays efforts to take on Amazon at being Amazon is a total waste of what little focus they have. Like Yahoo, one of the best perks of eBay is that it's hard to get fired. It's very relaxed and people are quite comfortable - why risk an easy / safe job by taking a risk doing something innovative. After a while innovative people get jack of it and leave and all you're left is the lazy and incompetent. There are pockets of excellence within eBay but they're getting smaller. There was a potential for a turnaround when the stock price was $10 but at $30+ no-one is interested.

The further-out jobs probably don't have a recruiting problem. Just the central jobs because... experienced and older folks want/have the cheaper properties and are leaving the central jobs.

The issue goes much deeper than "anyone" can go to college. Their is a huge education disparity between wealthy zip codes and poor zip codes. So, yes you were in an AP English class. How many of your fellow classmates do you think were on free and/or reduced lunch? How many students in the regular English classes were on free/reduced lunch?

The educational disparity is the real root of this problem. You add in that the average salary of a teacher after 5 years of experience is less than nearly any job after 5 years of experience.

This feeds into educational disparity even further as the good teachers want to teach in a wealthier school district as it is a much easier position to be in. More support from teachers, "smarter" kids, ability to get paid more as the taxes from that area can afford better teachers.

Contrast that with poor school districts and you get the exact opposite. You have a variety of kids from troubled homes, you don't know if they had or can afford breakfast, you don't know if they have even a remotely okay home environment to do homework in.

So sure, "anyone" with a pulse can get into college but the real issue is not that. It starts much, much earlier in the education system.

It took me a long time to figure out how fortunate I was to grow up in a wealthier school district, and the fact that I worked my ass off to get where I am now but I'd be lying if because of white privilege + a wealthier zip code I wasn't exposed to more opportunities that made busting my ass pay off more.

I think that the biggest issue for "fairness" in the "FRAND" in the Apple v QCOM case will be whether or not "royalties based on the price of the finished device."

QCOM will probably make the case along the lines that "we designed the engine that powers your F1, we are the reason that your product performs as well as it does." They sincerely believe that their multitude of patents is much of what is making smartphones successful.

AAPL will probably make the case that since they purchase the electronics from Foxconn (or someone similar), that those devices should be considered the goods on which the royalty is based. That their finished good that they sell in retail stores is the result of their OS/software and their product's image cultivated over decades. Their press release has used a different analogy from the one above I imagined for QCOM -- that "Qualcomm charges a different price for the couch depending on which house it's sold in."

The ruling from the Korean trade commission is probably what Apple saw as the chink in Qualcomm's armor.

I can honestly see it from both sides. Qualcomm holds patents in many domains that allow them to exploit their position. They were awarded those patents because they sincerely did innovate in this area. CDMA alone is huge (although that initial basis may have expired or be expiring soon). I see Apple's side -- they can charge their customer vast markup because of their status as a luxury brand.

The market that scares the bejezzus out of me is the commercial property market. Every bank in the UK has massive portfolios of loans leveraged to the 9's vs commercial property with returns calculated on rentals. At the same time high streets are emptying left right and centre. If rents come down then shops can compete, but if rents come down then the bank loans all go south via breached covenants. If rents don't come down the income to service the loans dries up as shop after shop goes out of business due to "internet".
I don't think anybody outside of the UK would understand the term 'public school' to mean anything other than a state school.

Oddly enough, I went to high school with Paul Lockhart and I too became fascinated with math despite rather than because of our terrible high school math program.

I think what originally got interested in math was the infamous "new math" program [1] that existed in the 60s.

And the thing with New Math is that was abolished through a backlash of parent and teachers because ... the parents and teachers couldn't understand the new concepts.

And this is the thing. Math is both an abstract enterprise and an enterprise of bookkeepers adding numbers on ledgers, parents adding up grocery bills and so-forth. While New Math might have had some flaws in execution, any effort to produce curriculum suited to students learning abstract mathematics is going to run-up against the "readin', writin' and arithmetic" crowd in a similar fashion to New Math.

The concern I might have with it is if they raised the money with the claim then removed the claim after people had pledged. It wasn't clear to me from the article what the timeline was with changing the language and the end of the campaign.
Firstly, most younger people do not buy property, they simply rent. Secondly, you share with more people. In the article they reference a single bedroom flat at min £1000 a month which is about right. But that's the most expensive way to live. I share with 3 others and on average we pay about 500 each. This is for a nice enough flat in zone 2 (zone 1 is generally for the very wealthy).

Yeah, I've lived in London for two years now and I'm planning to move to Birmingham with the end of my current lease. ~£600-700/mo for a nice 1 bedroom flat:

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/find.html?search...

It will cut my rent in half which would allow me to travel a lot more and save up for a deposit as well - with an average price of £175k for a 1 bed flat in the city centre.

Birmingham Airport is just 10mins by train from the centre and costs like £2.50! Lots of airlines and destinations. Cheap flights within Europe with the budget airlines or even to Asia via hubs like Dubai with Emirates.

I'm self employed, work from home and I don't have a child yet - which makes it a lot easier to move.

Parts of London are lovely but like you said, unless you own a property or your household income is a few times the average UK salary - it doesn't make much financial sense to live there.
