There's a lot of people who weren't invited to the party.

The "able bodied, but aren't working number is close to an all time high. I believe it's higher than when women stayed at home while hubby worked?

I have never seen this amount of homelessness. I see daily. Im becoming too hardened to the suffering.

People used to have the privilege of having two shitty jobs. Now--those jobs are coveted, as careers, by hard working immigrants--that see nothing wrong with fitting six people in a 10 x 12 foot room.

Look at the jobs on Craigslist. Work with us for three hours a day, or on call? So many are just rediculious. Buy a four door, late model car, we approve of, and go into a slow debt death. Or, the amount of thieving bastards who know they can get away with terrible work conditions, and pay that makes showing up debatable.

Crime is down. Cameras are everywhere. People/business don't use cash like they used too. Surveillance is everywhere. And like always, the rich seem to get treated better by the justice system? Fees/fines have never been so high. Only the wealthy can afford to commit crimes? Oh, and they do run afoul of so many laws.

Look at all the young scholars who are living at home. Many living at a family home that will probally not be passed down because mom and dad will be forced into a reverse mortgage.

In tech--yes, the party is fierce. I do notice the new cars. I notice the carefree attitude. There's a liberal air of "Hay--it's just hard work? I'm just more clever than that guy?".

I hope it all lasts.

I guarantee so many of you will be right here wondering what the hell happened, on a old device? I think a new version of the punk movement will pop up. The hippie movement won't be the joke it currently is. Hell--the denial might protect a lot of you when the money dries up?
No matter how much propaganda has told you otherwise, copyright violation is not theft.

Theft involves a physical loss by the victim. After a theft, the victim no longer has the stolen property. Would you consider it theft if someone looked at your car, and built an exact copy 1,000 miles away? Of course not! You still have your car.
To the extent your list of links address productivity gains at all, they miss the most important contribution: Inflation, or rather the historically impressive lack thereof over approaching three decades of net economic growth.

When firms produce more with less, supply goes up and prices go down. Compare the median American household in 1988 with today’s and you’ll see exactly where all those productivity gains have gone: More and better appliances, more and better cars, more and better communication technology, cheaper clothes, cheaper food—even at comparable inflation-adjusted income levels.
Is this in San Fransisco proper or the outskirts? I've been looking around as I may potentially be moving and can't find anything reasonable under 2.3k that isn't roomsharing
This article, like nearly every other article on the subject, is about _over_ diagnosis. Fine. But readers miss that overdiagnosis doesn't mean always wrong. And it's important to remember that.

It's easy to dismiss the value of these medicines if you've never felt saved by them. It's hard to understand how painful and frustrating it is for a child to not be able to complete an exam because when he gets a few words into a question he has to start over from the beginning again and again and again and again and again because the words just keep slipping away from him. It's hard to explain that, no, extra time doesn't actually mean a special edge against other children who don't have the same problem. It's hard feeling really bad at subjects that you're actually really good at because you can't keep your thoughts together. It's hard to walk out of an exam room crying because you can feel yourself starting to lose your grip. It's hard as an adult to say "this saved my life" to another adult who doesn't understand it. But it's just weird when adults who are perfectly happy to drug themselves on the regular for no other reason than because it feels good are like "yeah, but..." when there are kids out there who will gladly take negative side effects over the alternative.
I don’t know about you, but when I review resumes I look at what they’ve done, not what brand names I recognize. Frankly, when I see a name from the Valley such as Facebook, I assume it’s a script kiddie web developer who’s primary experience revolves around NodeJS.
Funny isn't it how an Android phone with an old Snapdragon 835 from last year can so easily beat an iPhone X.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL99tRQR9W0

The "sloppily put together pile of excrement" iPhone X can't even keep apps in memory as it loses to an Android phone from last year. If a Note 8 can make the iPhone X look that bad just think what this year's S9 will do.
I was shocked as well. All these leading tech companies, some of the richest people on Earth and can't fix the house they live in?

It is such a bizarre contrast to see so much wealth and people living in card boxes on the streets.

No body cares enough to actually get it fixed.
Unfortunately, a significant portion of their business is in public education, where that isn't seen as an option.
What company in Dallas pays over $300k for engineers?
Oil and gas, and finance, to name two I’m familiar with.

You mean the same camera2 API that's used by the Google Pixel 2 - the world's best smartphone camera?
binky is bonkers. been following the build since like episode 5. That fella is a wizard with a grinder and a mig welder. absolutely the best auto fabrication i've seen on youtube.
While this somewhat smells as "submarine" for Starcity, I welcome these kind of innovations (or reinventions of wheels, if you prefer). For introverts or families or elderly, we should of course have other types of housing. But variety of options is the key for a diverse society. Not everyone needs a single family of a giant townhome straight out of college. Having this kind of housing is a great option for new grads who don't have to waste tons of money on living spaces they don't really need. It also opens up socializing avenues, which is good for normal people.
The human brain does not follow a computer architecture that we can replicate in a lab.
Are you sure he wasn't comparing "people with ADHD to people without" as opposed to "kids vs adults?"
and tea. don't forget the tea.
Fundamentally, I don't care how "hungry" my technical staff is. (I mean, I want to see to it that they are well fed, but if I'm hiring technical staff... their ability to "hustle" isn't something I am selecting for.)

I know there are good technical people other places- I hired a few to work remote when I was doing my own thing, and in the last year, two of my friends have moved from here to cheaper pastures.

it's just... well, the density of nerds here is incredible. If you can pay local rates, you will almost certainly be able to find someone who doesn't have to move. In the midwest, I think that most areas, there are very few local employers; if you want to jump jobs, you often have to move. That means that as an employer, if you want to hire someone on-site, a lot of times you need to talk someone into moving. I personally live within walking distance of internap, Intel, drobo, palo alto networks, EMC and tens of smaller companies that could hire me as a sysadmin or a network admin or even as my current specialty, an EDA administrator. A ten minute drive widens the field greatly.

This density goes both ways; it means that an employee can easily find an employer without moving, and the other side of that is that an employer can easily find an employee. This means, I think, that people tend to work at jobs that they match with better, because there's a much smaller cost to switching to that other job that fits better.
I didn't say materials intensity is unimportant. It's usually required to estimate EROI.

The fuel figures shouldn't be misleading because they're clearly labeled. The balance of plant for solar is not included with the panel cost. As with the nuclear plant, there is no commodity pricing to include.
A computer architecture that we can ever replicate in a lab? The human brain is entirely beyond the ability of any computer to simulate it, ever?
Yup. When Bitcoin forked into Bitcoin cash, everyone was free to "double spend" - once in Bitcoin and once in Bitcoin cash. Money just up and doubled itself.
How is it that their software and OS is unable to use that processing power? Or does the A11 get so hot that it needs to be substantially throttled? The countless speed tests on YouTube showing the iPhone X losing to Android phones with an old Snapdragon 835 are amusing to say the least.
Depends on how far away the signal came from. 10^9 light years away, and your .98c attackers won't be here for 20 million years. Even 10000 light years away, you have 200 years to play with.

Though it's likely pretty hard to get a signal 10000 light years, especially if you don't know the direction to send it.

Used German cars are resold mainly in Eastern Europe.
I agree. Moving is a big decision, and it's hard to gauge what a person is like after only one meeting. Also, as I've learned the hard way, many people have different understandings of what it means to be "quiet."
There is a good support for sndio in the FreeBSD ports tree as well. Albeit hidden behind the SNDIO build time option. It was quite the ride to get it to that point :-)

There are also now some sndio backends out there for applications not in the OpenBSD ports tree like Cava, shairport-sync, and Kodi.
> But what was Freud right about?

What was Freud wrong about? His theory is a model of human mind, which has its application even today and suits it well. It is like Newtonian mechanics and gravity: did Newton was wrong? No, he developed a model of reality that works even today.

There are a lot of other theories which replicate psychoanalysis in many aspects. Even humanistic psychology highly influenced by psychoanalysis despite of (or in spite of) negativism of Carl Rogers who didn't liked idea of explaining all of the mind work by primitive impulses. Rogers just made new model of mind by changing words and turning psychoanalysis upside down: mind is driven not by primitive impulses but by the need of self-actualization. The same eggs in a side view.

> how well their theories stand the test of time

What it means to stand the test of time? It is social sciences, not the math or physics, the landscape here is constantly shifting, nothing is true and nothing is false. The only way I see to measure the success of scientist is to measure its influence on others. If so, then Freud is the total winner among psychologists. No one even come close to him.

There are others -- Skinner, for example. But even Skinner's behavioral approach moves towards Freud ideas: now it is cognitive-behavioral approach, with hidden cognitive processes and conflicts between them. What the difference between coping strategies and defence mechanisms?

I'm not trying to say, that psychoanalysis is the best, I do not like it really. As for me it oversimplifies things. But I acknowledge influence of psychoanalysis on modern views.
> It also doesn't help that every state in the midwest has been slashing educational budgets and in some states has enacted almost a war on education.

I looked up some information for my home state (Iowa) and the opposite seems to be true, at least for K-12. This study shows per-capita increases in K-12 education 2008-2015 in North Dakota, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Minnesota, while finding decreases in New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and California.

Perhaps you meant higher education? Iowa does seem to be making cuts there: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2017/0...
Years ago I was a TA for first year computer science. I graded my students' assignments on code style, with reference to automatic grades generated by a test suite.

One of the most interesting things I learned was how much variance there was in code size between submissions. I would first read an assessment from a good student which was completely correct and 500 lines long. The code would seem reasonably clear, compact and well written. Then I'd pick up the next assignment, which had also gotten 100% on the automatic tests and it would be only 150 lines of code. And the code wouldn't seem any more compact or unreadable compared to the first - they both looked like decent solutions; but one of those solutions had implemented the same spec in 3x less code!

And then I'd pick up a submission by a weaker student who got 50% of the automarking results done. The submission would be 600 lines, and you could see the sweat that had gone into writing it. The student was clearly struggling to keep track of all the moving parts in their code. If that was all I looked at I would have assumed the assignment would have taken 1000 lines to implement, and be way too hard for my first year students.

(In case you're wondering, there was no difference in programming languages, tooling or knowledge. All students were using the same environments to write plain C code.)

The lesson I learned was that its very hard to tell whether you or your coworkers are actually using a good approach to solving your problems. I never hear people say things like "Oh, I think this different abstraction could save us 70% of our code". But having seen enough examples I think its usually the case that those abstractions exist. We just (bizarrely) don't seem to spend any time looking for them. Intuitively I would expect that bad abstractions would be obvious in code, but that seems to be often not true in practice. After reading the first students' submission I usually would still have no idea how long the average correct submission was going to be.
The US Do Not Call registry for phones seems to be completely ineffective these days. An internet one is unlikely to work as well.
My bad, you are absolutely right, the payout comes from previous weeks' undistributed payout, not from the state. The more they played, the more revenue for the state.
I use it the same way, so for me hitting that 10K limit would take a very long time (if ever).

I can see some use cases where it would occur though.
They really needed a normal strut and control arm setup. I think it was just a poor car choice. something american with wider track and mustang2 front suspension would have been a better fit.
You act like corporations are totally divorced from the people that run them. You also ignore how comfortable in-demand white collar work in many industries can be, and non-government movements toward shorter workdays in certain European countries.

You also seem to neglect that the government all over frequently takes advantage its position in ways that make things worse for society.

The thing about corporations, though, is that with minimal regulation, they can be forced to compete, and ultimately bad ones are orders of magnitude more likely to change or die than any given government. In fact I'd argue that a constant churn of negative companies is still better than some of of the worse tyrannical states that ever existed, by a large margin, because of the forces of competition.
The guy from your second link seems to be simultaneously completely crazy and completely awesome. I love his edit:

You have to give the California Department of Motor Vehicles (the DMV) credit for creativity on this one. A DMV insider has disclosed to me that the DMV has made a formal request to a federal agency to rule if my Beetle constitutes a threat to national security based on what could happen if it got into the wrong hands. This raises three questions in my mind: #1 Does this mean I’m the right hands? #2 If someone with the name "b_laden13" is the highest eBay bidder for my Beetle can I refuse his offer even if he has the prestigious eBay Red Shooting Star feedback rating (the highest)? #3 Would this affect my eBay rating?
Don't use JWT or local storage for storing sessions. It's pointless/potentially less secure. Just use sessions and cookies.

US rightsholders have been seriously abusing copyright outside of US borders. I personally am not okay with it.

If Germany's laws must be applied to a US business, then the US is prima facie not sovereign.
Inflation was low due to lack of consumer demand....because of wage stagnation (and I concede, offshoring). The Fed can’t “push the string” with QE, and here we are 10 years later from the GFC, finally with an economy hot enough to push wages up (thereby increasing inflation).

Ironically it doesn't "work" properly on Nexus 6P, with a whole bunch of text and a part of the search bar cut off.
Again, said ISPs are US-based, and the only precedent for blocking in the US is DMCA, which considers these works public domain.
When a full 20% of the population is diagnosed with a disorder, that's either a serious epidemic or there's something wrong with the term disorder. Teachers and parents want tractable kids...just sayin.
If cities were only productive enough to hit GDP per capita of $16k/year, construction workers only expected to make $16k/year, and other potential buyers made close to $16k/year, housing would be dirt cheap.

If American urban planning were in line with global norms (i.e. not built around ubiquitous car ownership), transportation would be dirt cheap or free.

And outside of housing and transportation, $16k/year is a ton of money. I maintain a pretty bougie standard of living on half that.
> there is no evidence for the existence of a race that does not rely on referencing the idea of a race. the idea is self-referential. to understand this, you must understand philosophy.

Huh? Race is defined by a combination of genetics in the form of phenotypes and culture. I don't see the circular paradox here.

> another way of saying this is that assigning a person to a race doesn't give us any more information than the information we used to classify him in the first place.

But we can? We can say that Chinese are more likely to be shorter than africans. That asians are more likely to have black hair than blonde hair or that africans are more likely to have higher testosterone than european whites or indians.

Ask any doctor or pharmacist and they can list you a few ways they are taught about how to treat people of different races differently because of biological differences.

We can even go further and say for instance that ashkenazi jews have a higher average IQ compared to Africans due to a large part their genetic differences and not purely environmental reasons.

The bell curve which was published a few decades ago proves many of these kind of claims so I don't know where you get this idea that we cannot determine anything useful from race.

> ok, I'll bite: what defines a race? what test do I apply to a specimen in order to sort him/her into a race category?

I gave a definition previously which is pretty accepted, for how you test for a race the answer is that's pretty easy, 99% of the time you can just ask someone and they will tell you.

We can prove this through cluster analysis, where you take a sample set of people and first ask them what race they are from a set number of selections. They then can read SNPs from each of the participants and hand that to a computer without the self reported data the people provided.

What you see is that even with 100 random SNP's you have a near perfect correlation between what people say their race is and the computer correctly grouping them into the race they chose.

If you want to see some sources, here is an article that links off and summarizes the studies I am referencing http://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/329...
Chrome on Android seems to have a reader mode. They don't call it that, it's called "simplified page" or something like that, but it's basically the same thing as FF and safari's reader mode.

And they even prompt to use it, which isn't something I've seen Firefox do.
This is a very good mindset, but not everyone holds out that long. I had the same experience and hated how the meds changed my personality. "It wasn't me. I'm not following my own personal destiny on meds. It's someone else."

ADHD has some very neat pros, but without a proper support network and a good foundation, going without meds is hell. I recently finally gave in to my idealism (even now I don't want to call it that) and convinced myself that I have goals, and those goals can't wait another year for me to get things right. I've wasted enough years struggling for air.

The first month was pretty bad, adjusting your family and friend's expectations. I even found myself avoiding conversation "until the meds wore off and I was me again." Few will understand any of the things in your post, but it will spark some thought in those that are susceptible.
I do trips like this every few years. I can hardly recommend them enough.

No N1QL was involved that needed to be ported/re-architected?

N1QL was our primary use case for using Couchbase at my last position and it worked wonderfully (though at less than half your scale).

For straight key operations, the overhead of all the JVM stuff on couchbase seems like a lot, especially when considering the alternative amount of K/V stores these days.

Glad to hear Aerospike turned out well. Been keeping an eye on them over the past few years.

I know this is easier said than done -- finding a significant other and having a meaningful relationship.

Having someone you really love, that also love you back and give you support, will get you through whatever failure you do and will go through.

If you're currently in the mindset where all you can think about is taking your startup to success and not caring about anything else like personal relationships, it might be time for a change. Look not for random hookups, but seek a real relationship with someone that matters.
I’ve never thought of JWT as being something you would want to use in a unified application, it tends to shine in situations where one application is the authorizing agent for another application not totally in its control (e.g. private Docker registry auth). You can set expiry fields in JWT, so revocation isn’t the concern everyone is saying it is. Also, just because a form of auth is out in the open it doesn’t mean it’s less secure (TLS, anyone?).
I have a relatively popular novelty extension and I get approached by ad companies to buy/monetize it regularly.
I refuse, because I despise advertising and I don't need the money.
But I suspect I am in the minority and that many extension owners probably just decide it is easier to sell it and not think about it.
I don't pay for wikipedia (actually I do via donations and edits but that's not the point) but I don't see anything bad about their BM.
