The assumption behind the parent is economic nationalism, which is a false model of economics. Economic development in other countries benefits the U.S. greatly; economics and trade are not zero-sum, but mutually beneficial. Would you rather sell (and buy) goods in a town of poor people, or in a town of wealthy ones? Would the U.S. rather sell and buy goods in a world of other wealthy countries, or in a world of poor ones? If China didn't develop economically, it wouldn't be huge market for U.S. goods today, and wouldn't produce so much that the U.S. needs.

Nationalism also ignores two fundamental moral issues: First, it is an unequivocal moral good for people rise out of extreme poverty, as has happened in China (and elsewhere). Second, there is no moral difference between the welfare of a human being in China and one in the U.S. or any other country; there is no reason the American deserves to be more wealthy. Everyone should have opportunity and a fair shot to earn what they can; if you don't make more, should you get special welfare because of your nationality?

Wait a minute, you're not in the EU anymore!

We (UKoGBnNI) are still in the EU for now - next year we sort of leave (ish!!)

I've always whinged about those self serving bureaucrats in Bruxelles. Some of them are our own home brewed UKIP lot. It says a lot about democracy that UKIP or the SDP (int al) can even exist.

We'll see what happens to the little old UK post Brexit - it will be written up as both a triumph and a disaster and yet I suspect life will tick on, much as before.

GDPR on the other hand: that is important and worth paying attention to.
Hate to break it to you but critical thinking is just as lacking in progressive urban areas. Seattle, Boston, Denver, NYC, (let alone the valley) are chock full of idiots who do not think about how public policy impacts anyone but themselves. You just don't judge as critically when it's your people.
It's always going to be about time and money. With more GPUs, it'll take less time to train. You're also not locked into a cloud provider like AWS or GCE if you plan to do this long term.

I have the same problem!
I was with you until this:

I think the GDPR needs to have provisions for blockchain and current cryptocurrencies.

Why?
Given the population dynamics (one child/two parents) I think it's not going to be a "finding enough jobs for everyone" kind of problem. Eventually their population is going to start shrinking, at which point I really don't know how the economy is going to react. The example of Japan's long stagnation in the face of population decline is sobering, particularly since China isn't anywhere near as wealthy as Japan was (and is unlikely to get there) when its population started to decline.

Does anyone know anything about the institute that produced this report, the Upjohn Institute? I've never heard of them, which doesn't man a lot but it means something.

https://www.upjohn.org/

Also, does anyone know anything about Houseman, the (principle?) researcher?

IME, there are many small organizations that produce reports to grind some small axe. It doesn't mean Upjohn is one of them, but it's important to know who you are listening to.

EDIT: It looks like a local research organization located in Kalamazoo, Michigan. They say they date back to the Great Depression. The Board of Trustees often gives a good introductory picture of an organization; in this case, I see a mix of academic and business leaders local to Kalamazoo:

https://www.upjohn.org/about-us/board-of-trustees

Also, you can find Houseman's and other researcher's official bios here. They look like real economists, fwiw:

> systemd isn't viable for HA systems

You mean, besides all the highly-available systems on which it currently runs? Since it's already part of the two most-used distributions in the world, it's fair to say that it's gotten sufficient exercise such that all of the serious kinks have been worked out by now.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by having to "update all the time." Sure, systemd gets occasional security/bugfix patches, but so did sysvinit. And like sysvinit, systemd is hot-reloadable, so it's never been a problem in practice.
I think the story "it's not China, it's automation" is fairly recent claim. The big story they quote is the NYT in 2016.

As I remember things, since the 1990s or even 80s, sending manufacturing jobs overseas was the program, with the main justification then being "there will be better jobs in their place". But just in 2016 you had instead "really, it was automation". Now, you complete the cycle with "sure it was China but we were sure it was automation, big woops..."
... according to Houseman’s data, without computers, manufacturing’s real output expanded at an average rate of only about 0.2% a year in the 2000s. By 2016, real manufacturing output, sans computers, was lower than it was in 2007.

This is a very interesting story that deserves a much wider hearing.
Unemployment rates only include people actively seeking work (actually, this is a common criticism of the figures, since they don't include people who've just given up).
The US needs a serious industrial policy to counter this. Couple of ideas:

- A venture fund, similar to In-Q-Tel, focused on investing in cutting edge manufacturing tech startups. It'll make sense to focus on defense applications initially, but many of those techniques do get carried over into private enterprise.

- Increased grants for fundamental research, and tax write offs for corporates who expand R&D facilities adjacent to production facilities in the country.

- Inevitably any company doing manufacturing today will experience labor shortages, most experienced staff are now retired. A federal program to re-train displaced workers to become technicians servicing the robots doing the assembly, monitoring quality, and doing basic troubleshooting work onsite.

- Tax writeoffs for companies who provide training for front-line employees to move into design and engineering roles.

EDIT: Old time manufacturing jobs are gone and not coming back, however they are loads of opportunities in other areas of manufacturing that will generate much more value per employee and hence will pay better. Giving companies incentives to create these jobs, and providing a pathway for individuals with minimal training to attain the skills necessary to do them will solve the problem over time. Of course, it's all in the details.
The company I am currently working for is doing those and they are making it fun for the employees keeping score and doing prizes, people are actually having fun with it. Kind of a cool approach I think, and it seems to be working too.

Pretty sure you are missing some key details, you can get a Canadian permanent residency if you the required number of points which are based on your education, language, work experience etc.

For majority of the cases if you have the points you will get the PR visa. Once you get the visa you can move to Canada and look for jobs you cannot do that with the US.

Indeed, we seem to treat time like a passive component, a constantly ticking clock, where I wonder if time is distance, and it's time that's expanding our apparent distance. We measure distance in terms of time, or in terms of energy required to cross a given distance in a given time, and I can't shake the idea that energy required is exactly time, and distance itself is the meaningless measurement. It's energy required in 3D that's expanding. That doesn't mean space is expanding, only that energy required in 3D is expanding. And, obviously, I'm not a physicist. If I ever get a second chance at school, maybe physics.

Alchemists were experts on alchemy, but now we know their insights weren't all that useful for what they intended. (Although they were some of the smartest minds in their day.)

Turn Left at Orion is a popular suggestion (see sibling comment) but the other question is what do you want to do, what part of astronomy interests you? Amateur astronomy is a vast field and depending on what you're interested in, you'll go in different directions. Do you want to look at the Moon? Planets? Galaxies? And so on. Of course, you probably need a starting point which a good book can provide. See if you have a local astronomy club you can go visit, they will usually have events where you can use telescopes and talk to experienced folks. You can also poke around on Cloudy Nights (www.cloudynights.com), by far the largest amateur astronomy forum online.
»“Declining manufacturing employment over the past 30 years has given a lot of people the impression that America’s manufacturing sector is in decline. But that’s actually wrong,” the Vox article explained. “American factories are about twice as efficient today as they were three decades ago. So we’re producing more and more stuff, even as we use fewer and fewer people to do it.”«
This is all well and good in the global altruistic humanist sense, but if I just lost my job in Indiana because the company shuttered our plant and outsourced manufacturing to China, I'm voting for Trump. As they say, "All politics is local".

In my county, more than half of the dairy farms that were operating in the early 90s are gone.

I worked on a farm as a teenager that was fairly large, and was in continuous operation since the Dutch colonial times. It was literally a going concern older than the state. It went out of business in 2005, unable to handle the burdens of rock bottom commodity prices, fuel costs, taxes and regulatory costs.
Good luck! CBT doesn’t work for everybody, but since you read Hacker News I’d say there is a better chance it will align with you. Stoic philosophy and Mindfulness all touch on similar territory.

I had a job where my Manager didn't schedule weekly 1:1s, and what ended up happening is that the only face time I got with my manager was when I did something wrong and needed to get beaten up. I dreaded all contact. After some years of this, I suggested we have weekly 1:1s instead, and it was great, because we could share other topics: good things, when things were going good, career growth, etc. Totally changed things.

FB and LinkedIn ask for contacts (or at least used to). That's dozens of people's data, with at least one unique identifier for each, who did not provide informed consent in any way.

If that's truly the case, it's trivial to get a voluntary interlock ignition device installed on your car. You'd most likely save on the cost since there is no government mandated reporting.

That said, I'd recommend not driving at all if you know in advance that you are going to be drinking. At least in metropolitan areas, there are far too many mostly affordable and convenient options IMO to risk it. Even a couple of drinks for a 180+lb person is going to cause impairment.

My understanding is that Netflix intends to have an unusually high-firing culture (cf. their culture deck, "The unusual part is that we give adequate performers a generous severance package"), so if I'm at Netflix I absolutely want my manager to be up-front about how they interpret that and what signs I have that I'm an adequate performer and not a top one. By signing onto Netflix I am afraid of being fired, but that reflects on the company and not on the manager. (And the answers this manager gave are good: statistics about firing and an explicit statement that it won't take you by surprise.) You'll note that the firing talk is gone from the current version, and the green/yellow/red performance stuff (which is generically useful) stays.
> I feel like they're trying to do something extremely sophisticated and it's coming out far far worse than if they were doing something extremely simple.

This sums up my experience with a huge portion of the Google ecosystem. It's not just Google, of course, but Google particularly sticks out.

It feels like Google really likes to be clever, and just never had anyone take them aside and explain that clever solutions are usually bad. Sometimes I wonder if that extends to their codebases as well as their products; I'd love to be a fly on the wall and hear the conversations that are leading to some of the decisions they make.

If random startups can test all common browsers and ensure good experiences, I can’t see any reasonable justification why Google can’t.
There is a connection to the Starbucks incident where two black men were arrested while waiting for a friend; that's certainly why it's a headline in the NY Times. In both cases it 'feels' like the people in question were excluded / marked out for reasons which appear silly or superficial, and in both cases those people were non-white. The way that people model threats is complicated and hard to pick apart... One might be perceived as threatening for all kinds of reasons which change in weighting depending on context. You and your friend may have received threat bonuses for features like tattoos, being male, being young, etc. Those features may have received different threat bonuses depending on setting, such as a darkened city alley vs a college campus, or a mall. Our threat models also get more aggressive as risk increases--smaller threats are taken more seriously when we think more is at stake. It's hard to comment on the factors at play in your experiences without all the details.

Perhaps these kids got a threat bonus for being non-white on a college campus. This is a valid question to pose, if you think that race could be over-weighted in our unconscious threat models--and the NY Times certainly draws our attention to race as an over-weighted factor in similar, recent incidents. But then again, perhaps these kids were scored as high risk because of the unfortunate parallels to previous Colorado school shooters who liked metal music.

I think your question may be more why it's in the news and here on HN: because some people care to reflect on their own threat models and consider how they might be biased--whether or not that is the case here. NYT's gotta eat, after all.

The communication happens before the people go in to open the boxes. In the 2-person 2-box 1-choice example, person 1 says to person 2 "I'll open box 1 and you open box 2".

With person 1 always opening box 1 and person 2 always opening box 2, what do you feel their chances are? List out the permutations and see.

There can be a number of potential, highly involuntary reasons for why that may be the case.

1. Your workplace will marginalize you for having children if you're a woman.

2. The cost of childcare may be so high, compared to your wages, that it makes more sense for one parent to quit their job, and raise the children. See, also: 1 for why there are few stay-at-home dads.

3. Social expectations from your family.
This is due to promotion incentives. There's a much higher chance of getting promoted if you make up something new from scratch, stamp your name all over it and then during performance review demonstrate how many users it impacted so the committee promotes you. Often times people then move on to another team right after the promotion, rinse and repeat.

Even though this issue has been acknowledged internally but the above strategy is still the most promising when it comes to moving up the ladder.
In my experience (at a large institution) these phishing tests haven't flagged a user until personal info was actually entered, or some other vulnerable action was taken. Seems like there would be so many false positives otherwise.
You should try using approximate algorithms. They don't quite load all the data, but are able to give approximate (near perfect) statistical results whilr consuming orders of magnitude less data.

Not so much fun living there in some ways (on both sides of the border)

Bear in mind the UK use Sterling and the RoI use Euros. A NI person could work in RoI and be paid in EUR but pay rent etc in GBP. Obviously the reverse is true a RoI citizen might work in NI and be paid in GBP but needs EUR to live on. All a bit of a pain and of course the bank's exchange rate doesn't help.

It is easy to poke fun at those at the edges but I think on balance a bit of sensitivity might be warranted here. Little Britain might think that they (we) have some problems to deal with wrt Brexit.

I would suggest that we might look at NI and RoI and at least try to understand that the really important issues are right there - those issues and our responses to them are the ones that really define what sort of people we are now and will be in the future.

The rest is accounting.
