Much of this is predicted by classical economics.

When you have an asset with minimal elasticity in supply (such as housing in areas where building more is difficult) that is nevertheless needed for survival, owners of that asset will be able to capture most of the productive capacity of the people who need that asset. In areas with high productivity and high incomes - like around rich coastal cities - that's manifested by skyrocketing housing prices. In areas with lower productivity and lower incomes, prices still go up, but not as much, and the effect is felt as an inability to get ahead or even make ends meet even when you work hard. The wealth generated by younger laborers is transferred to older asset-owners who own the necessities of life, simply because they continue to own them.

Similarly, classical economics predicts a substitution effect for these goods: as they become increasingly less affordable, buyers will try to bypass the market entirely.

That's behind nearly all the social changes and huge tech businesses of the last two decades. Can't find a place to live? Rent in a tiny apartment instead of buying a house.
Live out of a van. Move to cheaper locales while working remotely. Can't get a job because that's yet another scarce resource monopolized by an older generation? Drive people around in your car with Uber. Sublet your rental on AirBnB. Blog for advertising revenue. Sell your crafts on Etsy. Start a new service business and advertise on Facebook or Google. Take funding from YCombinator and try to start the next great marketplace.

The last couple years have brought even more radical examples, eg. Bitcoin is basically an attempt to setup a shadow financial & monetary system and opt out of the dollar-denominated economy entirely.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Bazqux. It's cheap, fast, and has all the features I want.
There's a pattern that you see emerging in "late-stage" immigrants that are no longer found amongst other minorities in the United States. I believe that this pattern, where minorities share risk to bring about equal success and growth, stems completely from the racial divide that other minority groups in the US have had to fight against. An excellent example of this is immigrants who come to the US, ally with others of the same minority, share housing (even sometimes to the point of breaking the law), start businesses (while breaking several laws along the way), and then bring more immigrants in to help grow the business and then distribute that wealth to those involved. It's very similar to what happened in early European immigration to the US except that these "late stage" immigrants now know exactly what to avoid. They're able to take in all the advantages of being an immigrant while ignoring/offloading the risks associated with breaking the law. There's a reason that a stereotype exists regarding Vietnamese nail salons and, however inaccurate the stereotype may be, it started from this pattern of Vietnamese immigrants moving to the US, starting up nail salons, and bringing in hundreds more Vietnamese immigrants to grow these businesses while sheltering illegal practices that could be hidden by the growth of the business.

Minorities that are already in the United States don't have the ability nor the structure to make this a reality.
It has nothing to do with scale, it's either LGPL or pay for a commercial license. The commercial licenses are not cheap- $459 per seat per month.
The licensing bit is really trivial to summarize: It's LGPLv3. Formerly v2, so now it can't be used for free in some applications where it formerly could.

You can absolutely use it for free in any project, as long as you conform to LGPLv3.

Regarding JS: You're not supposed to write more than glue logic in JS - well, that's the practical experience. For some reason, the Qt company recommends more JS use than that.
>I can't agree with this sentence.

Whether you do or don't doesn't really matter. Post after post has made the point that you are focusing on a single variable and it is clear that it's not explicit causation for the effects like you claim.
Maybe people are just downvoting you because your post is unconnected to the article.
I'm saying that feminism comes from an explicitly Western viewpoint, and many (most?) traditional cultures are explicitly patriarchal.

Culture isn't just non-white people eating exotic foods, speaking other languages, and dressing in strange ways. It goes deeper to what is important, what is meaningful, what is right and wrong.

In that case, just be honest with yourself about what you're doing: asserting that 'We (the West) are right and moral and and these values values are superior, and your values are wrong and inferior'.

If you choose to go that route, just be careful and remember that this is the same sort of cultural chauvinism that the Spanish conquistadors (the Aztecs practiced savage human sacrifice) and the English in India (some Indians would burn windows after the husband died?) used to justify their rule.

This also means that a naive and morally relativistic multiculturalism is untenable (all cultures can't be equally accepted or respected). You're being a Westerner judging non-Western peoples.

Of course the border partrol union backed the guy saying he was going to strengthen border protection.
The immigration laws in place are inhumane, racist, classist, and anti-American. ICE is hated for the same reason the DEA is hated. People have no respect for those that enforce such stupid laws.
I do think that if a country stirs the pot in a foreign country they have a responsibility to take in refugees and allow a path to citizenship. There should be incentives to stay out unless necessary.
Ask HN: Company claimed open source software
The company I work for was given grant money by the Canadian government to invest in research and development. I was told by my boss that because xx% of my wage was paid by the goverment that I was required to do community work that supported Universities (this was a lie). I wrote a substantial piece of software that required me to pay for the development tools. More than half of the work was done at my home unpaid. The software was open sourced with my bosses approval. During a routine IT audit at our facility corporate IT found out about the project and demanded it be taken down immediately and that there was no agreement with the government whatsoever.

I never kept track of the amount of time that I worked on the project since it was open source work and so couldn't accurately say how may hours were involved but it was over the course of a couple of years and was in the thousands of hours researching and writing / testing code. Needless to say the company refused to pay me for anything because I couldn't prove exactly how many hours I worked on the software. The story gets even more crazy but it's too long to go into.

Any thoughts on how you would handle something like this?
ICE is 15 years old. We didn't have open borders before ICE, and getting rid of ICE wouldn't lead to open borders.

I don't have an opinion yet on whether or not the US should get rid of ICE, but the particular argument you're making is a bad one.

Ah, well, when I say "climate denialism is an obvious coping mechanism" I don't mean that people are rationally thinking about the situation and deciding to put their heads in the sand. I think it is "Denial" in the Freudian sense:

> The same word, and also abnegation (German: Verneinung), is used for a psychological defense mechanism postulated by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial

BTW, I think human brains do work rationally to the extent that the world is rational, because they are evolved organs. But human personalities or minds are not necessarily consciously deliberately rational. Like how computers must use physics on the hardware level but can be programmed to model impossible physics in a simulated virtual world.
Great news for people who want to use their purchased hardware for things Nintendo won't allow... Ie watching movies on the great screen, using generic hdmi adapters, playing games they already purchased for older console versions, or backing up savegames.

Also great news for people who want to use their hardware for things that are actively against Nintendo's interests, like playing pirated games.

All around, seems like a story of us: 1, them: 0 story.
I still see an enormous 'Get Dropbox Basic' button on dropbox.com. Isn't that a link to the individual plans?
http://www.ternaryplot.com

Some courses required me to make these kind of charts and the quickest options were Excel templates or drawing them by hand. There are some Python and R libraries that are pretty good but they were a little too cumbersome for most of my relatively simple charts. So I made this simple page with d3.js to quickly make pretty ternary plots.
I think you can back up OPML to Dropbox, which should provide kind of export facility, since OPML is a generic format.
You logic fails to understand that part of supply/demand theories is that external forces (like cultural influence) can have a major influence.

Of course? Government knows this. It is illegal for doctors to tell the gender before birth in India. In fact, due to weight of it, it is one of the few illegal activities regularly checked by authorities and media, and the culprits are given harsh punishments.
I don't think perpetuating a meme that, even inadvertently, belittles the emotional hardness of a miscarriage, is the right thing to do.

Regardless of this meme originating from a comic going from 0 to 100 in the level of seriousness it usually portrays, it is not something that we should endorse.
I think you misread that. For any use, you need a licence, and the possible licences to choose from are 1. Commercial, or 2. Open source (GPL or LGPL).

You can make commercial software using one if the open source licenses. (Of course; otherwise it wouldn't be an open source licence.)

This makes even less sense than the original question.

The original poster posits a theory that generations of housing discrimination contributed to the enormous racial wealth gap. Another poster comes along and says "what about these immigrants who didn't face generations of housing discrimination?" And the conclusion of this is that the "single-variable approach" doesn't work.

It's too bad because the original point stands and in fact it's well documented in the literature. In fact an excellent book, The Color of Law [1], was recently published that shows very clearly in excruciating detail how racist policies systematically worked to deprive blacks of property and wealth.

But no, let's talk about the very different experience of the Cambodians and other minorities so we can continue to blame the blacks.

>I also don't think you can ignore that the discriminatory lending, policing, and other policies also affect other minorities.

Just being clear, but wouldn't those also if not more so effect the immigrants OP brought up? Are we not also including Asian minorities?
low interest rates + rising wages. it seems like people will buy as much home as they can afford. so yes, in a sense, people are collectively shooting themselves in the foot by leveraging their homes as much as possible, but then again you need a place to live.
Thanks for the great feedback!

Re: urls, there's a property on each reminder for URLs, but Apple's Reminders app actually doesn't use it. I talked to the engineers behind EventKit, and they recommended I use it for my app (there may be an update where it gets set properly). This means a slight incompatibility between Apple's and my Reminder app. If you create a reminder using the Share action for my app (by clicking the box with the arrow pointing up while in Safari, for example), it should set that property properly, and you should be able to view the website in the app directly.

Re: permissions, I totally agree with you, but for this app, a lot of the permissions are required right at the launch of the app (access to reminders, notifications, and location are required for the app to be useful). I have built in some logic to prompt you when the permission is needed, but I figured giving the description of how each was going to be used would mitigate the up front prompting.

Re: delete button, the red circle icon was actually taken from iOS directly (Go to Music > Playlists > Select a playlist > Edit to see an example in an Apple app). But I'll give some thought on updating the icon to be more explicit!
Not everything has to be a fallacy, I remember when people understood the concept of tongue-in-cheek.

DRM (10NES) was a core part of the strategy for the console that brought a recovery from the 1983 video game crash.

And even today publishers value a platform that is able to combat privacy (see: Denuovo and the lengths AAA productions go to delay piracy in PC.
The specific policy on how assaults are measured is likely set by a small group or a single individual somewhere in the force's leadership, or possibly even at DHS. So while your idea of agents' background may be right, I doubt it has had an effect here.

Also note that the policy changed with the new administration, while the border patrol's staff is unlikelyto have changed significantly in such a short time.

A small app to create pretty wallpapers for iPhone and iPad out of various map designs. Has become quite popular in Germany.

They certainly could, but they'd be fighting the, generally very politically active, current homeowners every step of the way. Increasing supply will reduce their property values.

Proponents of building more housing need to step up their political activism to match the NIMBY crowd.
Just reading about this and looking at a sex ratio map, https://www.mapsofindia.com/census2011/female-sex-ratio.html , there is a massive difference between a diagonal line between the North and the South. North India is what is described as dominated by patriarchal religions like Islam, Christianity, Islamicized-Hinduism and Urdu-Hindi languages whereas South India and North-East India practices animist or ancestor worship Hinduism (less Islamic/Christian influence) and speak Dravidian or Austro-Asiatic languages. It is like two separate countries. The North seems to be a terrible mess with well below normal female births.
It's just so wrong, man!

People should all get as rich as they will ever get by around age 23.

Their savings and assets should stop growing at that point; for the rest of their lives, year over year, they should spend every penny they earn, and they should spend it on consumable items and recurring expenses --- not anything that has resale value.

How much you have should in no way reflect how long you've been here and how much of that time you've spent laboring at something. And when you're no longer able, you should beg in the streets.

I think it's more those with more money can influence lawmakers to make rules more hospitable for making more money. That would explain something like this happening for a long time, that would not be explained by a high percentage of home owners being voters (when it's one big company that owns a lot of homes):

>American whites: compound interest

>American blacks: compound debt

>American immigrants: reset (bankruptcy if poor)

Can you explain this? Why would compound debt exist for blacks but not for anyone else? Why would poor American whites be labeled under "compound interest"?

That seems like generalizing based on skin color.
I’ve just started selling art-piece wordclocks:

https://www.finewordclocks.com

Making wordclocks has been a hobby of mine. For a few years I’ve been developing various designs, fabricating them at a local hacker space, and giving them as gifts.

People keep asking if I would sell them. So I finally made a high end design and put together a simple web store.

My first production design is a limited run of 100. I recently sold my first one.

I just bought my own cnc router (still in the crate). The plan is to set up low run production in my basement rather than the time-sink of a hacker space. Plus a good excuse to get the kids interested in creating stuff when we have cool tools in the basement.
I think you're very confused if you think other minorities faced anything like what blacks faced. Combined this with the well-known fact that most recent non-Mexican immigrants to America (after 1960) were often quite wealthy before they came to America and you're looking at a very different experience.
Correct, the bill benefited lower-tax (that is, Republican-controlled) states very disproportionately.
Exactly!!!

The scientific method is such that Science is never wrong. It's god-esque.

There's no step in the process - a la 12 Step Process for example - that acknowledges past transgressions. It just hypes up the glory and ignores the mistakes.

That's. Not. Working.

That's. Not. Good. Enough.

That's. Bullshit.
10 years ago, a moderator on the Something Awful forums posted a home-improvement thread in which he chronicled building an addition to his house, a noble goal.

It was a disaster. He insulted his stairs. He had load-bearing drywall. None of the windows matched, making a big ugly box even uglier. The foundation settled and the addition separated from the original house. He fucked up the plumbing real bad and swamped his yard multiple times. He tried to get certified as an inspector because no professional inspectors would touch his work.

It quickly became a legend, and is fondly remembered even today as one of the good old stories of the internet.

Sometimes someone with poor talents and awe-inspiring arrogance does something so monumentally stupid, tasteless, and just plain bad, that it gains a life of its own. Sometimes that's bad siding, sometimes that's bad comics.

Thanks for the reply. This post has a decent number of votes, and made it onto the front page. Which surprised me, because I thought the essay was meandering and unconvincing, and ended with a bunch of platitudes. Am I allowed to not like every essay I read? I was curious to know why other people found it compelling. That's all. More power to all the people who want to write essays on issues they think are important.
Like I said earlier: I'm not sure what kind of variables you'd like to include within this variance but I'd LOVE to to hear any suggestions.
> Now what about times before 1950's, when societies were typically /not/ flooded with money?

Social welfare such as the old age pension and disability pensions were starting to be eased before that. In Britain and it's colonies it was just after the turn of the century. (Not idea re: the USA.) They were basic, but you wouldn't starve.

> Now that things are reverting back to historical norms, we should rethink the way society is structured.

Or should we fight against reverting to historical norms? I'm not so keen on seeing our quality of life and life expectancy decline.

Depends on where that money's coming from. If you take it away from the wealthy, that reduces their a) consumption spending, and b) investment, which causes a countervailing downward pressure on prices. The total amount of money floating around, however, stays the same.

This comes with some caveats, of course:

This would probably cause a demand shock as spending shifts from the things the rich do to the things the newly-not-poor do - so there would probably be a short-term jump in the price of e.g. low-end smartphones and middle-end IKEA furniture, and a crash in the price of international travel and of certain investments, until the economy properly shifts over to the new production priorities. Which can be interpreted oh so hilariously from a Marxist perspective.

There may be an increase in money velocity when shifting income to (on average) lower income brackets; i.e. it may be the case that money changes hands more quickly in the case of (poor people consume items, and then the places they buy it from plow that money into both investment and into the taxes necessary to fund the UBI program) than in the current case of (rich people put money into their more high-brow consumption and into investments, and the Apples and Fidelities of the world put their revenue and investments to use). That is, the same amount of money gets spent more often. And that could cause inflation. But of course the determinants of velocity of money, and its effects on inflation, are an open question in economics.
Wouldn't your causal mechanism be disproven by the reams of peaceful countries without such imbalances? In any case, the natural overproduction of males versus females at birth is too tiny to explain these gulfs.
"What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment and death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment, be deaf to all those motives whose powers supported him through his trial, and inflict on his fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose." -Thomas Jefferson
Why can’t you curse on broadcast tv or radio in the US? Just for one of many examples where the previous “vocal minority” have dictated policy. Why are there blue laws? Why is pot illegal at the federal level in the US? Prostitution?

Religious and “moral majority” types still dictate to a less vocal majority. That this only seems to have occurred to some people when the people complaining include some on the Left speaks volumes. For me, I’d like neither political pole to dictate to the rest of us, but I wasn’t born yesterday so I’m not holding my breath. I’m also not acting like this is somehow new. The only thing that’s changed is that the vocal types with clout aren’t just the religious Right. On the bright side that means more people are empowered, on the downside it now means that two extremes are fighting for power over us instead of just one.
