This is a famous paper by John Maynard Keynes. He saw that productivity was going to increase considerably over the next two generations, but really had no clue how that would play out. Now we're there, and it's not working out like anybody back then expected.

What Keynes missed was a consequence of a trend that could be seen back then - productivity increases are concentrated in certain areas, broadly, those involving "making stuff" - manufacturing and agriculture. In Keynes's day, that was most of the work force. In the US today, 14% of the work force makes all the stuff. (Yes, imports. If the US made all its own stuff, that number would still be well under 20%).

As a result, most of the work force is in low-productivity jobs - leisure and hospitality, retail trade, and health care are the biggest categories. Because each worker in those areas produces little revenue, wages tend to be low there. With most workers in low wage, low productivity areas, wages overall are driven lower. Although manufacturing could afford to pay higher wages, they don't have to be that much higher. A new hire in an auto plant today gets about half, in real dollars, what a new hire got in 1975.

That's part of how we got to where we are today. This wasn't forseen by prominent economists.

Jefferson did in fact give Madison and Eston their freedom in his will, but attached them as indentured apprentices to John Hemings until they reached their 21st birthday.

(William) Beverly and Harriet both ran away from Monticello after their 21st birthday. Jefferson's policy was one of "non-pursuit" for slaves who had reached adulthood and chose to leave. They were not explicitly freed and were not given letters of manumission. They only remained free the rest of their lives because they passed as white and did not disclose details of their origin in their new homes. In the case of Harriet, Jefferson arranged for her to be given $50 and passage.

This solution for slaves that could pass to do so arguably was better than one of manumission. As white people, they faced fewer threats in their live to their freedom than freed slaves did. Freed slaves and blacks born free both, even in the north were periodically captured and re-sold into slavery, as is documented in Solomon Northup's autobiography "Twelve Years a Slave".

It does though. On a mobile, go to google and search "Trump

You'll go back to Google instead of WaPo. And, I did specifically say this was with a "Carousel AMP Article". You're not really being fair by saying "doesn't do this". It absolutely does.

The point though. It isn't that this one choice to hijack the back button is the whole strategy.

It's indicative of a larger strategy to use UI patterns that keep people on Google properties and off of other people's. Which is kind of an odd way for a search engine to work.

Abstract:

We measure YouTube content delivery over IPv6 using ∼100 Sam-Knows probes connected to dual-stacked networks representing 66 different origin ASes. Using a 34-months long (Aug 2014-Jun 2017) dataset, we show that success rates of streaming a stall-free version of a video over IPv6 have improved over time. We show that a Happy Eyeballs (HE) race during initial TCP connection establishment leads to a strong (more than 97%) preference over IPv6. However, even though clients prefer streaming videos over IPv6, we observe worse performance over IPv6 than over IPv4. We witness consistently higher TCP connection establishment times and startup delays (∼100 ms or more) over IPv6. We also observe consistently lower achieved throughput both for audio and video over IPv6. We observe less than 1% stall rates over both address families. Due to lower stall rates, bitrates that can be reliably streamed over both address families are comparable. However, in situations, where a stall does occur, 80% of the samples experience higher stall durations that are at least 1s longer over IPv6 and have not reduced over time. The worse performance over IPv6 is due to the disparity in the availability of Google Global Caches (GGC) over IPv6. The measurements performed in this work using the youtube test and the entire dataset is made available [5] to the measurement community.

My first thought. I wonder how much logic programming is in suggest.el .. if it's full fledge then I'll be damned.
If there is a "solid wall of pedestrians" crossing it probably means that the modal share doesn't support allocating 70% of space to minority cars and crumbles to pedestrians.
Relevant difference between UK and American pedestrian lights: When you see the "Green man" in the UK, the cars will not cross your walkway. Contrast the US, where cars can and do legally cross an active pedestrian walkway (turning at a green light, turning right on a red light, etc - this tends to alarm British pedestrians abroad!).

At many junctions, this means no cars may have a green light while the pedestrians cross - so crossing diagonally is a natural extension.

(However, most large junctions have workarounds - usually turn-only/straight-only "filter" signals - which allow simultaneous but isolated pedestrian and car traffic. What's unusual about Oxford Circus is that it doesn't.)
> The CDN isn't just about volume, it's about location and bandwidth. It doesn't matter how many users you have, if the user is in Uganda and your server is in California, the video will never load immediately.

But isn't it true that as long as you can send >1s of video in 1s, it doesn't matter? I.e. latency doesn't matter much in video streaming, and bandwidth doesn't need a CDN for the 30 users / hour case?

Also, latency probably doesn't matter for 99% of sites, which are already so bloated with JavaScript and other pointless content that processing time dwarfs the connection delay.
That's a nice touch and some good work on the part of the package maintainer. Most (Ubuntu, RedHat, etc.) do not, they just expect you to sudo everything.
I recall an interview with Valter Longo in which he said the fasting-mimicking diet was just because patients were more comfortable with eating a special diet than with a full water fast, and doctors were also more willing to recommend the FMD than a water fast, because it seems so extreme to people.

So you certainly can just do a water fast instead.

i'm a bit confused about what this software is, at first form the description it seem a in memory database like redis or sqlite (with :memory ), but reading from the readme it seem more a framework for building server.

Can someone explain?
Just like it was impossible to start a car company after say 1920 due to the established players, it has become impossible to start and run a large consumer internet company where the primary function is information retrieval/search like in Yelp. If Google maps did not exist (with "Local Guides" now), Yelp's market cap could have been 5x of what it is. They were lucky that they started in 2004 when Google bombing was still possible: had they started more recently, they would not have gotten even the market cap they have now: high barrier to entry, no cheap distribution channels.
> especially here in US, where you have corn syrup even in meat

What?

> However study after study shows that "keto" and IF (intermittent fasting) is probably the way to go.

Eh, I don't know about that. Some studies indicate that keto helps some people. But like every other diet, adherence is low. And for the most part, the evidence is that what most people need is to just eat a reasonable amount of something approximating real food.

IF is entirely unrelated to keto.

> So I think we will see a massive dietary change in next 20-30 years

I'm extremely doubtful. I'm doubtful we'll even significantly cut the junk intake. I have no expectation that keto will actually become common.
There’s a way: it’s pointless and nobody will use it.

It’s very much a solution looking for a problem. If there was some advantage to using cryptocurrency for sex services, they’d already be doing it, just like they do for illegal items distributed by mail.

I agree. As a web publisher who depends on advertising for revenue and Google for traffic, things are getting more and more difficult. Google providing answers in the search box robs legitimate publishers of traffic. But the industry is so fragmented that a concerted legal action against Google is not possible.

Since this is HN, I expect people are going to start chanting "Die you ad supported publishers or find a new business model. We love Google because it's great for the users to read the answer on Google and not have to visit your ad laden site". I understand this sentiment but don't agree with it. Users love anything that's free. That does not mean Google can steal it and give it to them.

The implicit contract between publishers and Google is that publishers let Google crawl and index their content. In return, Google includes the publisher in their search results so users can find the information they are looking for and publishers get traffic. Outright copying of this information is stealing because it robs publishers of their revenue stream.
I've crossed a few times Oxford Circus before I realized that it can be done in diagonal. It's totally not obvious. Even after seeing the cross from above (on Instagram).
> It also makes sure the content is close to the user so they get a better experience.

The way most websites fuck that experience up with superfluous JS and media content makes this point moot, IMO. Being able to deliver JS 200ms faster doesn't help when you're serving megabytes of it.

Yes, for pointer types for example type qualifiers (e.g., const or volatile) cannot penetrate typedef of pointer types. So if you use typedef with pointers you are stuck.
> If they stop doing that, they'll lose their market dominance.

That's precisely the issue. It can be illegal to use your market dominance in one area (search) to reinforce or create market dominance in other areas. Microsoft had the best operating system and a browser that they wanted people to use. People preferred Netscape, but Microsoft used its OS dominance to kill off Netscape.

It is ok to be dominant in a product. You aren't, however, allowed to use the dominance in one product to gain you dominance in other products. Google has dominance in search, but using that to kill off competitors for their lesser-liked products isn't fair.

> They have achieved their dominance because their services are viewed as "best" by the majority of folks out there.

Their search service is viewed as "best" my most, but that doesn't mean their reviews service is. That's what's at issue. Being the best at one thing shouldn't allow you to stifle people that are better at another thing. That is certainly not best for consumers.

If Google were 20% of search traffic, they could do many things because there's no dominance at issue. Since Google is the vast majority of search traffic, they can effectively eliminate most competitors. Starting a reviews site? Your listings will fall below our own regardless of their merit. Starting a videos site, YouTube alternatives will always be shown first even if it's not what the user is looking for.

YouTube should be popular on its own merit, not based on Google using its search dominance to choke competitors. Google's reviews should be popular on their own merit, not based on Google using its search dominance to kill off Yelp.

I do want to clarify that I'm not saying that Google is guilty of doing this, but that when you get to a certain market dominance, you can kill off competitors that are better than you by starving them rather than by being better than them. It's important that third-parties can compete with Google's non-search services without having Google's search service unreasonably favor Google's non-search services.
You're absolutely right. Yelp adds no value the dozens of other review apps don't, they simply succed because they extort and blackmail small businesses. I refuse to install their app and the quicker they die the better.

Auckland has had a few for at least 10 years. They are used for some of the very busy intersections on Queen Street (a busy shopping street that also carries a lot of cars and buses), and seem to work well. Regarding Wellington, I can think of only one, which I think was put in a few years ago at a 5-way intersection that had a lot of foot traffic and was quite accident-prone; I think it's been successful in simplifying how pedestrians use the intersection and reducing accidents, and doesn't seem to have worsened traffic flow.

This is a common misconception. It is "traditional" macroeconomics (e.g. Keynes) did not engage with microeconomics at any point [1].

It was not until the 1970s and the Lucasian rationalist critique that microfoundations became an important inquiry. And that shift didn't occur because people were sentimentally attached to micro (if anything, they were attached to prevailing macro theories), it happened because Lucasian rationalism explained an empirical phenomenon (a shift in the Phillips curve) that was not explained by the other approaches. Since that time support for microfoundations has waxed and waned a few times, in response to several other empirical shifts.

In practice, economics is much like the other sciences, with a slightly wider diversity of thought. Like the other sciences, most people only understand a caricature of it that is given through the lens of politics. Unlike the other sciences, more people seem inclined to accept this caricature and criticize it on that basis, which is unfortunate.

I actually hate scrambles unless crosswalks > 4. In a "standard" 4-way intersection, scramble signals make everyone wait much longer to get where they're going. I say this as a pedestrian most of the time, where I'm frustrated I can't go when the traffic in the same direction as me is going. It's also frustrating when the scramble goes off and you're in a car, and nobody is trying to cross.

However, in a 5+ way intersection, they seem to work great.

I also hate when people argue things are "safer" because they stop people from going at the same time that could collide. Congratulations, you've now made people stop and wait, get frustrated, and jaywalk. Trust that people actually don't want to hit each other, and you'll find they won't.
Two others touched on the sudo part but the global flag is as bad. So they have a gulp file that works with gulp "v1". Gitter goes bust (inactive), next year gulp is bumped to "v2", you want to try out gitter, gulp fails, you have to digg why. Another scenario is when another project asks you do the same, install gulp globally, but it actually means gulp "v0". Now you can't run to projects side by side.

Global deps should be versioned, the same way you do not see a respectable npm module with "*" semver in its package.json.

Seeing things like this in 2017 from smth like gitter! now owned by gitlab! is just a big red warning "amateur work, please look away".

How can you have a Makefile, a Makefile! and still require gulp, and still require people to run "npm install"? How? Where's the bare minimum logic?
It does though.

But it doesn't. You said two levels deep, but what you just described isn't at all. AMP is the container with the list of articles, and back logically and rightfully exits the container. If you clicked a link in one of those stories, it uses entirely normal web behavior. But yes, swiping, a function added by amp, in a container provided by amp, using the list provided by amp, is a lateral move not a depth move.

It isn't that this one choice to hijack the back button

The carousel is an entirely unique construction to provide news, exactly like a hundred other options that use similar paradigms. This, and the "hijack the back button" thing invariably gets dragged into every AMP discussion, as if Google trying to provide a news service is undermining some random blog link.
