If the political environment was shifting right, and Democrats were forced to make compromises, how is that considered a hyperbolic "great betrayal" instead of acknowledging political reality? Additionally, globalism was well under way before either Clinton/Obama held office.

As far betraying unions, statistics for union membership are first available starting in 1983. The biggest declines for recorded data in private union membership happened before Clinton, and held steady under Clinton until Bush took office where it declined again. In summary, Republicans have consistently tried to undermine the political influence of unions, while Democrats tried to prevent that.

This is just one tiny part of a complicated issue. Boiling it down to "Democrats betrayed unions" isn't a useful contribution and is more of a rant in terms of how honest it is.

Protectionism isn't a solution either. Manufacturing output has increased under Obama, but it has largely been increased through use of automation instead of blue collar labor. Manufacturing is coming back in the form of robotics.
My guess is that Apple doesn't want it to impead on desktop sales. An all in one device wouldn't be a good idea from a sales stand point. Ubuntu attempted this and I have gathered that it isn't exactly easy to support it. Some apps are built specifically for touch screens and making them work on a desktop computer with out for thought could be difficult.
Fear? Seems more that there are simply no safe investments with decent returns, interest rates are abysmal. I think folks are 'hoarding' simply to not run out by the time they die.

Low interest rates are painted as great for the economy, but they amount to a war on savers and fixed incomes.
It's possible the role is fluid because he's being groomed to take the company over from Jack. I don't think anyone can argue that Jack is doing a good job as CEO but Biz would carry some of the same goodwill that put Jack in the role and might actually be better equipped to turn the company around.

Or he's just "putting the band" back together and next month they will launch their own version of Snapchat's filtered selfies. Who knows.
Today's really broken web site - Bank of America online banking. I'm running Firefox 53 (latest version), with Ghostery and Privacy Badger, on Ubuntu Linux. BofA's site had worked well for years. Then they added some new features. Not good ones.

BofA's site now complains I'm using an "unsupported browser", even though they claim to support Firefox. About half the time, login just hangs. Refreshing the page shows a logged-in state.

When transferring funds from one account to another, sometimes the transfer process hangs. The "Approve transfer" button darkens, but the page is not refreshed. Sometimes the transfer has taken place, and sometimes it hasn't.

Yesterday, I did a transfer between accounts, and reached this situation. I looked at the account status and didn't see the outgoing transfer listed. So I re-did the transfer, and then saw the outgoing transfer listed. I printed the account transaction history.

Today I get a warning that an account is overdrawn. Checking account status, I find that there are now two identical transfers between the accounts, resulting in one being overdrawn and the other being overpaid. An hour of phone calls, mostly on hold, was required to fix this mess.

BofA's web site is using TouchCommerce ("Engage with your customers the way they want to engage") Adobe Audience Manager ("Build audience profiles that you can use anywhere"), and Tealium ("a single approach to connecting data across teams, vendors, and touchpoints in real time"). They've added ads for "special offers". They use these even on live transaction pages, which is a possible security flaw. Code from those sources produces huge numbers of browser errors (the obsolete "star property hack" for IE6 causes many of them) indicating sloppy code.

Sigh. May be time to change banks.

1. Their children and their children's children are competing with 100s of millions that they didn't have to. They are worried about them. There is no guarantee that the quality of life of their family will be like their own.

2. They are worried about destabilization that could occur as the west declines.
Well, one bomb would be, yes.

A sufficiently hypothetically scary driverless car attack might manage to do more deaths (though it'd be really hard, even for a state actor). But I think it wouldn't really get to the level of "more capable of causing terror." If you could cause let's say 15,000 deaths by a well-coordinated one-day bombing attack, and 80,000 deaths by a well-coordinated one-day driverless car attack, do those two things actually differentiate themselves in terms of your nation's agenda? I'd think they'd cause more-or-less identical amounts of terror, and the only purpose of such attacks are terror.

Ultimately, I don't think it's important. Nobody who's resourced well enough to pull this off is interested in doing it.
Finally someone sharing my opinion about it. I don't get all the hype they get especially on HN. Basically every experience I had with the product has been terrible so far. (And I gave it a lot of chances). I was keeping my thesis code on it and sometimes I go home and try to pull the work I have done in the lab and there's some error that I am facing. I moved my code to both bitbucket/GitHub and have been very satisfied.

You know, I have a life threatening genetic disorder. This is the root cause of my homelessness and the one thing I most need to get my life back is an online income adequate to support myself. I am an active participant on HN and I appear to be the top ranked woman here.

I assure you, no one on HN is valiantly trying to help me solve my financial problems. In fact, I am routinely treated dismissively by people claiming they are not being dismissive and crap like that.

Given that context, it is incredibly difficult for me to read the many remarks on HN in this thread by people claiming unequivocally that they would know the right thing to do by this woman sleeping on the kitchen floor and they would absolutely do the right thing when my experience suggests the exact opposite is probably true of most members here.

Maybe some folks could get down off their high horses and quit making me just spastic today. It would be a kindness, though probably more of a kindness than most of the incredible hypocrites here are capable of.

YEESH.
Did you usually ask your Indian clasmates' caste? Or did they volunteer that information themselves?
Time is not quite treated as 'just' another dimension in special relativity (SR).

As whatshisface mentioned, the sign of the time coordinate is different when computing the interval. What this means in practice is that you can't 'rotate' from a motion forwards in time to backwards in time. Instead you get what is basically a shearing transformation. The amount of rotation is limited by the speed of light (c).

So SR, I think, doesn't really say that time is just another dimension like the spatial dimensions. But it does mix the two together with a shearing transformation.

In fact, I would say that special relativity doesn't have much in particular to say about what time is. It merely specifies the mathematical transformations between reference frames, including between the local times in those frames. You have to go to metaphysics to say what this really means. In this sense it's a bit a like quantum mechanics.

Morality is an inherently grey subject. Boolean morality only exists in a vacuum. I do agree with your underlying sentiment that it's all about perspective, but I don't feel like you're adding anything to the conversation, as your post could essentially be boiled down to "morality is about perspective" - which, in my personal opinion, falls into the realm of common sense.

However, after reading some of the other comments in this thread, I might have to rethink that. It's interesting to see how many people seem to be unable to see through their own moral outrage.

I think we both are in agreement in sentiment, but I do not think you effectively communicated your ideas in a way that would be beneficial to a constructive discussion. It's too easy for people who disagree with you to point out flaws in your argument as opposed to understanding and discussing your true point.

I get that Auth0 is filling a niche (a rather large one) where companies don't want to implement and run their own authentication and authorization, though I still don't completely understand why not.

But it seems this is Auth0's version of running a lambda, but why would I choose their service over AWS, Google, Azure, etc.

They seem to be headed toward an a la carte firebase. Is that the goal? Simpler than lambda, but less complete than firebase?

What would you suggest as a more objective judge of quality?
The point is that by shifting to the right they moved away from being the defenders of unions and the working class and that has now come around to bite them in the rear as the electorate is shifting against free trade. Whether that was politically expedient at the time is neither here nor there. I'm sure the union's calculations at the time were also short-sighted political self interest.

And just like that the parents point was proven.

95% of the jobs created since 2009 are temp jobs, the actual way the us defines a job was changed under Bush and kept under Obama.

The number of new jobs created have gone down decade after decade since ww2.

The middle class cant come back because their jobs are those most affected by technology and globalization (service industry for instance) the only reason why there is a large group of people working with transportation is because we dont yet have automated cars. Once those get introduced the biggest industry in the US will implode.

This has nothing to do with capitalism or globalization in a vacum, this is a discussion about technologys effect on globalization and capitalism and thus the job market.
Interesting. I went and read the study which does support what the NYT is saying more or less [1].

The main factor as to why this is the case is important though. The longer you live the more costs you incur on the system because you end up getting another sickness which costs a lot more to treat, they specifically quote Alzheimers, than obesity and lung cancer.

One thing they did not take into account though is the lack of productivity i.e. the costs of being disabled (possibly b/c it is a dutch study using dutch data and parameters), in the USA diabetes is a disability and incurs significant other costs on the system which were not taken into account. It would be interesting to see what the comparisons would look like once that is taken into account.

But its certainly the case that smoking is much cheaper overall. It doesn't lead to disabilities and people die younger and incur far less costs.

Fuck. I'm 30, and I just went through this. I quit a bad job to try to do my own thing; after a few months without a paycheck - despite having plenty of saving six ways from Sunday - I clammed up almost completely, not wanting to spend a dime. I was miserable. It's the same feeling as item hoarding in CRPGs.

Seems like I either need to never retire, or set up a trust for myself so I have a guaranteed allowance. (Or deal with the implicated fear....)

An argument could be made that the entire capitalist system is built upon uncompensated labor. Just ask your mom.

I absolutely agree with this - but I don't understand what the selling point is. You can't use greenhouses in an urban setting - if you've ever seen a modern hydroponic greenhouse light up the night sky you know why - and the efficiency loss from entirely replacing sunlight is staggering.

I guess I don't get it.. what's the selling point that I'm missing?
Taking initiative doesn't necessarily mean solving problems with code first. It sounds like you need to determine how you can "sell" these new feature or product ideas to the company at large - how will the company save (or make) money if you implement them? Building the right relationships within your organization is a form of "taking initiative."

Same here, though I only store them in a plain text file.

My tip for others trying the same is to look into your bank's mobile site, if they have one. Mine was much simpler to parse, I only needed a single XPath expression to extract the number.

Also, if your bank's site is AJAX-y, look into the network tab of your browser, chances are you can find an URL that sends you a nice JSON back with the data you need.
No, I didn't follow the chain of references back to there, nor, now that I'm looking for it, do I see any such references.

The reference that I did see was to here:
http://blog.rongarret.info/2014/09/are-parallel-universes-re...

And that page has what I would regard as an appropriate level of skepticism for it's own position. It says things like "IMO". It says what it thinks is correct, but it recognizes that it could be wrong. (Reasonable enough, when you're saying that the Copenhagen interpretation of QM is wrong. That may in fact be correct, but dogmatism is not warranted yet, and may never be.)

The links you present show a paper that puts forward a theory. Again, I'm not saying it's wrong, and it seems to make some things easier to understand. But where's the experiment that tests a prediction of this paper, which other interpretations of QM can't explain? Without that, it's just a nice theory. There are lots of those.
Thats nice. Play nasty games with people trying to find a job and put food on the table.

It's not a strawman. Most of the article is written with the assumption that not spending all your money is sub-optimal.

From the article:

> After a lifetime of saving, it requires some psychological gymnastics to start spending your nest egg. Browning’s suggestion is that financial planners urge their thriftiest clients to make big purchases–like a second home or a fancy car–before they retire, out of their pot of savings. The idea, he said, is “training people to spend.”
