Specifically, you are looking for various measures of "not in the labor force" -- called U1 through U6.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm

U6 is: Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force

The national U6 right now is 9.2 (unadjusted).

I'd say mindmapping is an inferior term for describing org-brain even. Concept mapping is better. But that term is also already taken for something else. Org-brain and thebrain provide another organizational system. It's closer to graph databases (but more restricted with only three kinds of relations). The way it mimics our natural way of thinking about stuff is really helpful. Few tools help us easily capture those relations. Often we're stuck with pure hierarchical systems (such as mindmaps or folder structures). So I look forward to seeing this org-mode add-on evolve and truly hope that this way of organizing information gets more widespread. And covered in more tools and on more platforms.

Imho, eating your own dog food is one higher virtues of software development (although I wouldn't recommend it in real life due to dog food vs human food quality standards).

Having to use your own product or process (eg, Github PR workflow) makes you aware of the problems and painpoints it might bring onto others, often resulting in better product.
>> The intrinsic value of a cryptocurrency is in its utility: moving an accounted and measurable unit across the internet peer to peer.

> That's a property of the network (if it works, that is), and not an intrinsic value.

The value of a cryptocurrency can be a property of the network and be intrinsic.

intrinsic, adj.: belonging to a thing by its very nature.

Gold has more alternative purposes (teeth, electronics, jewelry, etc.), but a cryptocurrency provides bookkeeping, even to some effect after its network dies. Bookkeeping, and not the assets kept track of, has intrinsic value.

Here are the questions, if you can't get them correct without a computer handy, than your education is suspect. I would expect them to appear in a 3rd grade math book.

1. If you bought four packs of tea: chamomile ($4.60), green ($4.15), black ($3.35) and lemon ($1.80) with a $20 note, how much change would you get?

2. If a litre of cola costs $3.15, how much will you pay for a third of a litre?

3. If a football club offers the same discount for all season tickets - Main Stand - $50 for single entry, $300 for a season; Stand 2 - $35 for single entry, $210 for a season; Stand 3 - $25 for single entry, $150 for a season - what would the price be for a Stand 4 season ticket, where a single entry costs $21?

The answers are $6.10, $1.05 and $126 respectively.

Ah, now I remember why I tend to use this model:

use std::thread;

fn no_mut(a: &mut usize) {
*a = 10;
{
let b: &usize = a;
println!("a: {}, b: {}", a, b);
}

let b: &usize = a;
thread::spawn(|| {
println!("b: {}", b);
});
}

fn main() {
let mut foo = 42usize;
no_mut(&mut foo);
}

Similar code but the move throws an error(as it should).

If you don't have the value type then you're constrained by the parent mut lifetime here so it's not just as simple as a conversion that you can then pass around. Otherwise you need to consider all the lifetime scopes which can get a bit unwieldy.

Agreed, so never try anything because it might not work out.

If competitors fail because of this mythical irrational attempt at a company, that's on them.

As for employees, don't take a job at any company, because it might fail.

Isn't that called discouraged workers and covered under U5 unemployment? Unemployment is not based on the those who filled out the paperwork... it is based on a population survey. They call up random people and ask a series of questions. There are different levels of unemployment like those who are discouraged or underemployed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment#United_States_Bur...

Thanks, this makes sense.

I could never understand why a company takes an LBO instead of just taking out a massive loan against their assets directly, but this explains it. A combination of "the existing team isn't trusted to use that money" and "the creditors can collect without a full recovery" explain it nicely; PEs might theoretically be more objective at deciding when to restructure and when to strip assets.
I haven't set up the official Google Authenticator app in a while, but what I have done in the past is to seed the watch with the same value as the phone app. It marginally increases the risk, as I now have two devices that could be stolen, but the convenience was worth it to me.

That may require using a third party app on the phone as well as the watch, though. I'm not sure if the official Google Authenticator app still makes this practical.

This is a really bizarre rational, disk space is insanely cheap and simply storing the blockchain does nothing to actually validate transactions or contribute to the network.

8000GB drives cost about $150 now. Storage is getting cheaper.

Why not change the PoW hash algo to avoid costly ASICs and help decentralize the more important aspect of blockchain transaction verification?
I can only speak personally, but I sure haven't experienced any of this alleged difficulty of getting feedback, especially of the negative variety. Sure, it's not the case that everyone I've mentioned one of my bad ideas to has objected to it, but there's always been someone willing to give me the bad news as they saw it.

I think it's entirely plausible that there's something gender-related going on. Women are often seen as less tough than men.

I understand your point, but I wouldn't exactly call it only one data point. There are quite a few indications from the that there is relatively little interest from existing Android Wear manufacturers for new hardware.

Maybe this rebranding is a sign that Google is putting more effort behind it now, though.
It really feels like a rather pointless product given the current state of HVAC manufacturing. Until HVAC manufacturers make zone control more of a priority paired with having technicians that are capable of installing it properly.

Between all the environmental and construction related variables it would seem that it would take a 3rd party to develop something that could integrate with the various residential systems you can have installed with a reasonable warranty attached. Without having a bunch of automated dampers, properly insulated homes/duct work it seems a bit premature to try and market this as a product that makes sense for the average human.

I don't want to start a "Bitcoin is useless" flameware but to your question: the reason why the energy consumption of proof-of-work is important is because society hasn't found a purpose for Bitcoin to exist yet. Therefore, the energy consumed is considered "wasted" whereas it could have been used for something society already deems useful, like keeping the lights on.
I think it does support it though. It’s a rare moment of lucidity and honesty from a congressperson. That’s how things really work when there’s a lot of effort required: just skip the effort and “may god bless the US” after it passes. Otherwise how do you explain that _affordable_ care act has nearly nothing in it about affordability? I have what looks to me like a plausible explanation: the only people who have actually read the whole thing are the lobbyists who wrote it.
There's a pretty good comment on this post from a shadow banned user named Kenji, which I'm reproducing below:

Unemployment rate might be the most important indicator politically, but it really is the wrong one for most of the things we care about.

What it tells you is (mostly) how much unemployment will be paid out and (to some extent) how available workers are.

Anyway, "healthy" unemployment rate is usually 4%-7%.

The "right" metric is "employment rate," which is not the inverse. This is just the people working out of the working age population. It doesn't care whether people are unemployed, unable to work, retired, students, stay at home parents... Just how many people work.

This is usually around 60%-70%.

...so obviously "unemployed" leaves out the vast majority of non workers.

If you want to compare one area to another, for example, compare employment rates. Worried about techno-"unemployment," monitor employment rates. Slower, steadier societal effects will show here.
I'd like to understand how record employment affects 401k contributions and thereby, fuels the already heady stock market.

And what's happening with home ownership and real estate prices across the nation? For example, my development has 115 homes. Zero are for sale, and the last sale was nearly 1 year ago. There is no inventory.

Ah, good point, I was confusing capacity with monthly output. 3-4x sounds about right.
Would you use a spreadsheet for that?

I'm asking sincerely, since most of open examples I see of people using Airtable and Fieldbook and other similar software is for these simple use cases -- in fact for tracking wines or whatever, a spreadsheet is maybe much better.

Now when I tried to use Fieldbook for a somewhat complex bunch of data that gets currently added, 5 tables with references between them it has quickly bloated and become slow to the point of not being usable anymore.

So I'm left with the impression that people mostly use these apps for simple use cases where a spreadsheet, or a Trello board, or even a text file would be better; and that complex use-cases are not supported at all -- as they wouldn't be in a spreadsheet.

To explain just briefly, SessionStack is just collecting events from the browser like user interactions, DOM changes, etc. and then tech info like crashes, network, debug messages. All of this data is being batched in memory and sent to our servers every few seconds. And that's all the work that we do on the client-side, almost the same as any analytics tool that you already use.
The "magic" happens on our end, where we're reconstructing all of this data, pulling the needed static resources, etc. in order to recreate the same series of events as they happened to your users and show you that information visually. And this happens in real-time.
Well deserved funding.

Airtable is one of those products that really changes the way you work or even think about building workflows. I use it as a middleware for uploading content to a side project website I own. Nothing out there is as flexible and easy to use as this (their API is also a piece of cake.)

They care deeply about their user experience and are always shipping features at an impressive pace. Really happy to see them growing.

Simply put. Airtable is like Smartsheets but for cool people :D
It's really fun to see that the people that we consider geniuses are really just smart people spending their lives forming concepts into reality, one function at a time, like the rest of us.

These stories of failure, but skew the reader simply because there are very few companies that can bid on and attempt to manage projects of this scale. This article could easily be written to focus on the failure of sweeping, enormous, poorly-thought out projects that suffer changing visions and scope, rotating project managers, and evolving systems ... that IBM happens to bid on and execute poorly.

Small projects are better focused, cost less, are easier to understand, and therefore succeed more frequently (or fail more silently). It's big projects, frequently proposed and conceived by governments or enormous industrial conglomerates that are poorly thought-out, improperly managed, and suffer the worst of project management incompetence or hubris/excess. But who bids on that kind of project? Big companies like IBM. Let's be fair, they don't just bid on them, they also coax them into being, but my point stands: if you want to fail big, you've got to dream big. This isn't a defense of IBM, who deserves to own the shame of talking big but being unable to actually deliver. But it is a reminder that the project designers get equal blame for these sweeping, grandiose, visionary catastrophes.
The fact that it is so effective is IMO why so many open source development tools are much higher quality than non development tools.
Google commonly pays around 15% to 17% for its overall corporate income tax rate.

By comparison, the statutory rate for Norway is 23%, Sweden is 22%, Denmark is 22%, Portugal is 21%, Slovakia is 21%, Finland is 20%, Estonia is 20%, Iceland is 20%, Russia is 20%, Czech is 19%, the UK is 19%, Poland is 19%, Switzerland is 18%, Ukraine is 18%, Romania is 16%, Serbia is 15%, Lithuania is 15%, Ireland is 12.5%, Moldova is 12%, Macedonia is 10%, Hungary is 9%.

I'll emphasize again, those are just the statutory rates.

Google is obviously aggressive in their tax avoidance, however they're not in fact paying low rates compared to what can be managed in more than a dozen European nations.
These alternatives are not alternatives at all.
There's a dimension left out here on the Phoenix disaster: It wasn't really IBM's fault at all.

The Canadian public service is really complex. There are multiple unions with multiple overlapping collective bargaining agreements, where the public service is allocated to different classes. These classes are paid specific rates, with retroactive pay being common for changing classes. The majority of the problems with Phoenix have been employees moving from their classes and being paid the correct amount. It has also adversely affected non-unionized positions.

My understanding is that the Harper government (Prime Minister until 2015), who was responsible for the negotiation and for laying out the requirements, was trying to save a money and not responibly create a pay system. Two major factors that jump out at me:

1) Requirements did not call for training. The system was implemented and IBM was not required to train any operators on how the system functions, which is important because all new staff were hired to run the system and,

2) Due to the need for cost saving measures (the government was trying really hard to balance the budget, as the election was coming up), the previous payroll staff were terminated and a new payroll centre was opened in Miramichi, which is a small town in the middle of nowhere.

So, on top of new software, the government lost all of its institutional knowledge regarding payroll and how things are supposed to work. It's actually hard to say how much of this is IBM's fault and how much is the governments, because the government doesn't know how to fix it. No one knows how Phoenix works and no one knows how it is supposed to work. It's just a big mess with no end in sight.

Could IBM have done a better job? Probably, but garbage in, garbage out.

Glad to see this company get more funding. Last year I ported all of our companys excel and access files over to airtable. Currently tweaking with their API to work with a MS-SQL database using amazon Lambda and RDS at the moment.
Their API documentation is fantastic, some of the best I've seen as well. They even have some of the best case studies for workflow management as well, posted on their blog, for setting up a relational database management setup in different use cases.

As a user who's also part of their alpha-test program, its exciting to see all the changes they made this year. They added blocks which lets you add app-like integrations such as forms, kanban, maps integration, page designer (think of mailmerge for word) etc. I personally have only dabbled in about half the things offered here, but its crazy how many things you can do with airtable.

I also wrote a popular excel VBA script for airtable too, for bulk downloading and renaming images found here on their forum. https://community.airtable.com/t/bulk-image-downloader-and-r....
