If those people were made homeless after losing their jobs they were definitely not "middle class". There is almost no middle class anymore and nobody wants to accept that they are apart of the poor, lower class. It's hard to change reality when nobody believes it.

You can compile and sign (and, AFAIK, upload to the Google Play Store) an APK on an Android device, using AIDE and perhaps other dev toolkits. No computer needed.

If the supply curves of both markets are expressed as functions that accept Price and return Quantity, then the supply curve of the combined market is the sum of these two functions. I.e. for each price the combined quantity of supply is the sum of the two supplies. Same with demand. Then the equilibrium of the combined market is the intersection of combined supply and combined demand. Am I missing something?
I've had FastMail about a year, and have yet to get enough spam (200 messages) to trigger their personalized spam filter. Despite the address being signed up... everywhere. The non-personalized ranking system uses common spam ranking services out there, and scores emails about as well as you'd expect from the average corporate spam filter.

FastMail's data collection of your email for their own use is incredibly, incredibly limited, so a lot of things other providers use won't really work for FastMail.

What happens in 2038? I hope you're never representing those 32 bits of UNIX timestamp as a signed integer anywhere. If you're making sure to always keep it unsigned, what happens in year 2106?

EDIT: I'm not criticizing you, and a valid counter argument would be that you make absolutely sure to always store the timestamp unsigned, that it doesn't need to work until 2106 because it's a toy project, or that an overflow wouldn't really matter because you make sure to keep it unique even after an overflow, but I get scared any time storing a UNIX timestamp in 32 bits is mentioned, and am wondering if you've considered it.

Why so you can, if you fudge the quadrant:

Parenthetically, there are actually either 5, 7 or 8 "quadrants" in Portland depending on who you ask and when. The traditional 5 are NW, N, NE, SE, SW. However, Burnside street is simply labeled E/W since it's on the dividing line, and John's Landing is the aforementioned zero-prefixed division which has been occasionally called "South", or the area just north of it, the "South Waterfront", even though it's not included in addresses with an S anywhere.

In my experience, since Messenger / Hangouts / etc all support persisted, named chats, people start treating them like chatrooms rather than like text messages. I don't want notifications for a chat room (where there's a flurry of conversation that may or may not be directed at me), and in general since I work remote I try to keep the "things that make my phone buzz" list to the bare-minimum, since that list will always include "production outage" which might make me stop mid-step while heading to lunch and turn back around.

Additionally, FB messenger does not allow you to disable "read receipts," it always shows the other party when you have opened a message. Buzzing my pocket and then telling the other person I read their message feels very intrusive to me.

>it's also pretty obvious that (i) most of the most-criticised standard economic axioms existed long before the Koch brothers started spending

Except this isn't about who invented the false premises modern economic thought is based upon, it's about who perpetuates them and why.

>mainstream academic economics (even right-wing mainstream economics) is openly and increasingly disdainful of concepts like gold standards

I wasn't even aware the Koch brothers were pro-gold standard. It isn't mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_activities_of_the_Ko...

A central part of their agenda it is not.

>every right-winger's favourite bogeyman Soros throwing an awful lot of money at heterodox centre-left economics

Yes, he set up a think tank with noted "leftists" like Paul Volcker and David Rockefeller.

The front page on their website right now is an article downplaying inequality. Karl Marx would be so proud.

>Probably also (iv) if you're an economist sufficiently motivated by financial incentives to change your entire worldview to suit

I doubt there are many of those. If your worldview is so divergent from the standard corporatist neoliberal worldview that pervades the profession you probably won't even go into it in the first place. I have a couple of friends who bailed for this reason at postgrad level.

Nonetheless Upton Sinclair's adage that it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it is pretty relevant...

Note that one of the most cited & praised economists in this thread (keen) for his (actually) heterodox approach was actually made redundant from his university not that long ago.

>you go and work for a bank which pays a lot more

Obviously. It's a simple jump from state university professor to a trader raking in $1 mil bonuses.

Also with much older cellular technology, in 2001 the US mostly used 2G TDMA/CDMA networks with carriers like Verizon still relying on older AMPS systems on the 850mhz band.

I'm not entirely sure how that would've worked, even today having a phone call from low altitude is pretty hard jets are pretty decent Faraday cages and the speed is just as much of a problem as the altitude.

There is a difference between having the cellphone pining a tower or even managing to get a short data packet from time to time and having an uninterrupted phone call.

I don't think there 9/11 was a "conspiracy" I think there was just a lot of random information that amplified to conspiratorial levels.

I'd drop the word "neutrality" and replace it with what is trying to be expressed that economics aims to do: make positive statements, attempts to describe something, makes statements that are falsifiable/testable.

Political economy is where the value judgments and arguments about why we should implement some form or system of economics.

Economics doesn't disappear under socialism or communism. Many basic principles apply depending on what form of socialism is adopted, such as supply and demand. Socialists tend to run into problems when they decide economics is some 'tool of the bourgeoisie' when it is a tool for everyone who want to solve real problems involving the distribution of society's wealth.
I have kind of the reverse reason for not telling people: they just kind of shrug and ask "how is that different from ________?" I explain how it's fundamentally nothing alike and how my approach solves some really hard problem, but it's too late: the second-guessing myself has started.

Much better to build an MVP before ever mentioning it. Maybe they'll still shrug, but happens a lot less often.

I've also tried to stop buying domain names and instead just putting them all on a personal website.

But when I find that awesome name that is still available, I'm powerless to resist buying (I tell myself it's an "investment".)
is there a salary? your going to get a lot more responses if there is.

> My question is, what would have happened if the author hadn't stepped up to do dispatch?

Some other solution would have emerged, or the volunteers would have proceeded with a lower level of coordination.

> You would have had people searching blindly street by street, not knowing where they were needed.

I expect you saw plenty of this in the last week, even with a relatively good communication network in place. It's not necessarily a big problem. It would be a mistake for rescuers on the ground to assume that their dispatchers are omnipotent and to only proceed based on what they're told via radio. You would miss everyone in need of help who was unable to communicate out.

> Why can't we make it a national goal to get 911 up and running in a disaster zone in our own country within a similar time period?

I feel your comments are grounded in an overestimation of the importance of universally available centralized realtime control in disaster response. That is something we've never had in a genuinely large disaster that takes out a lot of infrastructure.

The closest we have to universally available communications is actually Amateur Radio networks. I'm all for spreading that hobby among high school students and encouraging more people to volunteer.

We could also do the 911 whatever technological thing you have in mind, but we should proceed with the understanding that we will encounter disasters big enough to knock it over.

That's why it's so much better to be a developer than a veterinarian.

I didn't have to buy an MRI machine to start doing my thing. I just had to register a domain name and sign up for a Stripe account.

Incidentally, there's a lot of room to build a successful software business with an effort between zero and "work every waking hour"/"put [your] life savings on the line". I built the products I live off in the downtime between contract gigs, when the surf wasn't working and conditions weren't right for climbing. With two digit hosting expenses for the first several years.

Definitely don't let fears like the ones you expressed above stop you from doing it.
They might be using it as a way to find specific pages which have content Yelp doesn't want you to scrape. The "evil" scenario.

They might also not be looking at the file, and just appending random words to the end of Yelp's biz URLs to scrape every business. Which, at some point, it might hit that URL by accident, since they are all words you'd find in other business URLs. Though this seems less likely.
Having worked at two manufacturers in the Midwest, anecdotally the majority of forklift drivers, line workers on specific lines, and even many white collar office roles were filled by temp agencies. A similar structure existed for engineering too; we would have a problem and the engineering firm with workers under the same roof would develop a solution.

For the temp workers the motivation was always very clear and very much based on working around labor laws. If a forklift driver got in an accident, it wouldn't be counted in the same way. Line workers could be less rigidly brought on board or let go with seasonal or other varying demand. They were cheaper too and everyone worked hard to try and become a regular employee.

I am not sure what a solution is, after all these types of temp companies only exist to skirt existing labor laws, suggesting these laws may defy economics a bit too much. On the other hand what other ways do we have of increasing the bargaining position of labor? Growing the economy, but that isn't something a politician can honestly promise. Pulling back from globalization would, but that is bad economics and bad for national security. Perhaps something like earned income tax credit? Or perhaps we should just continue waiting until the rest of the world develops and the supply of labor finally becomes constrained.
Not really. They have two options for protecting the "back" connection: Full SSL and Full SSL (Strict).

Full SSL doesn't really protect you since Cloudflare won't check if the certificate is valid, an attacker could make their own self-signed cert and MITM you.

Full SSL (Strict) requires a valid cert for the domain being requested. If you had that, you wouldn't need Cloudflare in the first place.

As neither of those models actually work 100% of the time, I don't think they have much to say about a neutral point of view. Any serious work is going to say ~"This is false, but..."

A neutral POV might be Humans are computationally limited mostly independent actors who's actions are based on updatable heuristics. This much more closely matches things like asset bubbles or creation of unions, but also preference for name brands.

PS: The truth is not trying to tell a story. Suggesting the truth is biased is suggesting the world is also biased.

I think Tesla is the only one going with a fully electric lineup. The others are complementing ICE models with a fully electric option.

Which I think is the best move. I really hated the first Hybrids and electrics from the incumbent automakers. They always looked so different. Always felt if they look the same as the current lineup people would buy more, it happened already with hybrid options.
Completely implausible, we're talking about medieval Europeans, not Flintstones era simpletons. The concepts of fortification and putting one rock on top of another were pretty well hashed out by then.
Anecdata time: I'm currently an exchange student in China and one of my Chinese friends told me about his attempt to make friends with two North Koreans in his class. They were apparently always staying together, sleeping in the same dorm room, going to the washroom at the same time, the works. When my friend tried to talk to them, they immediately left as if they were afraid.

I have read that this is a common tactic North Korea employs when sending people abroad for business (or, in this case, study). Their families are kept as hostages, and if any of them were trying to escape, they would all be punished. So they have to constantly check on each other for fear of their own lives and those of their families.

So North Korea doesn't need to build an elite hacker school themselves, they can just send promising candidates out of the country, make sure that they do nothing but study, and ensure their return using the threat of violence.

>Will men consider beautiful girls a risk to the workplace? If you have 90% male employees working in your office and a beautiful girl who is definitely qualified for the job but for the sake of argument not someone you "have to have" for this role, are you introducing risk into the workplace by hiring her knowing that people react stronger to attractive people? Said differently, is there a possibility that her presence becomes a potential "distraction" in the office.

Yes. This is already a thing (in some workplaces). I'm just saying it exists, not that I endorse or condemn it.

>Will progressive personalities be considered a risk to the workplace? Beyond looks to personality types, if you are interviewing a candidate and through rounds of interviews you discover they actively contribute their spare time and energy toward socially progressive movements, rallies, campaigns etc, will they be deemed higher risks as potential work-place agitators?

See above. In fact I'd say the reverse is more true. Nobody would blink twice if their coworker drove a car plastered in anti GMO and pro local farming bumper stickers but if a "venison is always free range" sticker showed up it would probably be noticed.

>whereas all the girls had multiple managers present reviews

It only takes one semi-baseless allegation of sexual harassment to create a policy like this.
