"Adjusted for inflation" is an opaque term and doesn't actually explain which costs they controlled for. I doubt they controlled for both healthcare and housing.

That’s already heavily restricted. You can only give a few thousand to each candidate per election cycle. The problem is that then you have arms-length third-party organizations (Super PACs) that, by virtue of not coordinating with the candidate they support, are able to spend unlimited amounts of money. And the candidates know who donates to those, so once in office, they know who to reward, just as if the donations were made directly to them.

Honestly, I think the best system is to just allow unlimited donations directly to candidates, with full disclosure.

Money isn’t actually that much of a problem in my opinion. Look at how much Jeb spent in the primaries, only to get savaged by Trump, who spent barely anything.

The general control of politics by the “rich and powerful” isn’t because they spend money on campaigns, it’s because the social class represented by them, the top 20% (college-educated professionals, typically working in large urban areas), controls culture, media, ideas, and expertise. Regulatory capture doesn’t happen because of corruption, but because the people with the expertise tend to be the ones who work in the industry being regulated.
One of the premises of your argument is based on a very egoistic opinion: that you get to decide what is "enough" for an individual in the western world. Productivity has grown far more than real wages, so somehow that must have been distributed rather unfairly.

Yes, living standard is high, but that doesn't mean that it can't be better.
In other words: Either poor people are still poor and rich people are still rich, or rich people are becoming poorer and poor people are becoming richer. But the second possibility contradicts statistics on widening income gap. So it is likely the first case.

My point is, not everyone has the same high standard of living to begin with.
Why would rising population and increased chinese productivity reduce standard of living. Its the opposite, it should increase faster.

It's a bit of a stretch to call GitHub good from the statement I made or to call Microsoft the most evil bidder when evil will suffice. I'll have to chalk that up to unnecessary sarcasm on your part.

To get back on track... I find it astounding that there are people actually defending any worldwide multi-billion dollar corporation whose actions are so incredibly user-hostile. Ideally, I would love to see this turn into a historical crossroads of sorts...

A point where end-users, who have the real power here to actually say "enough already" and make this purchase absolutely worthless. Instead of continuing to give the powerful more power and complain about it, to take that power back. In essence, to send a statement that an Open Internet can still exist.

That it doesn't have to be the cesspool of surveillance, backdoors, keyloggers, data-sharing and hording run by a few Tech Giants with zero accountability. A GitHub exodus (ie, The Great GitHub Exodus) can represent that with Microsoft (and others like them) choking on their dirty billions.

1. Real income is adjusted for inflation.

2. Property prices have multiple other factors affecting them than just GDP. For instance, if you have a large increase in population without enough new housing to account for it, then property prices naturally go up. I think that describes 21st century Britain quite well, don't you?

3. The economic dogma of blaming all problems on the rich is no different than blaming all problems on a certain ethnic group. It's just that it's not as easy to immediately recognize it as intellectually dishonest.
Centralization of wealth occurs as part of an economic model because more money means more power.
Ask HN: Best practices for onboarding new employees?
I'm starting a new gig as a product manager with a startup in a few days. ~20 employees (most but not all in one building). Good customer traction.

I'm building a personal checklist of onboarding items. It contains the usual categories - hr/payroll stuff, phone/email/slack setups, product details, customer commits/requests, risks/issues, etc.

The main concern is how to be productive from day 1 without being a time suck for the CEO & CTO.
Does anybody have 1) a shareable best-practice checklist, or 2) a methodology of quizzing my new coworkers?

Appreciate it.
It's funny that they have the technical knowledge to implement tracking (or outsource it to another company), but they don't have the technical knowledge to comply with GDPR (or outsource it to another company).
Or you could learn algorithms properly

https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/

https://algs4.cs.princeton.edu/30searching/

and write your own trees.

There is a free coursera course that goes along with the princeton algorithm website. Also this website has tons of exercises to help you master the subject. Not to mention all their code is freely available ( though it is in Java, not python ).

I'm a believer of learning by doing. Using something others have built for you isn't an optimal way of learning anything. Especially binary trees and the more encompassing subject of algorithms.

Devolving power to the states doesn't solve the problem, because state governments are also democratically elected.

This isn't quite true, the heads are kept from crashing by air pressure and a crash does irreversible damage. The "clicking" sound is either the heads flicking back and forth as the drive tries to seek, or the central motor trying and failing to start platters spinning which are jammed on the bearing.

What freezing the drive may achieve is either un-sticking it from the bearings (see also the "bang drive on edge" technique), or lowering the thermal noise floor in the electronics enough for marginal components to make it through the boot sequence.

AMD has reported that in actuality this chip should rarely hit 250W, essentially only if overclocked. As with the Ryzen 2 lineup, overclocking can actually hurt performance.

But you are correct that some of the more budget-oriented (and I use that term loosely) TR4 boards will struggle with power delivery. Worst case, you will shorten the lifespan of your motherboard and increase the risk of capacitor failure (eg: shorting, popping, etc).

Play with Kubernetes Classroom: Gain Hands on Experience Within the Browser
I have five observations of 3d printing based on experience.

1) People who don't print, think its a microwave oven, just push a button, right? People who do print see it more as a complicated craft with very slow somewhat expensive learning curve, much like a table saw or ... scientific glass blowing.

2) Very small scale mass production with 3-d printing, once you've expended considerable effort, time, and filament, to dial in the design and the machine and the technique, is almost "push a button" easy, but you can't reach that stage until maybe five prints are done and the whole point of a master glass blower is there is exactly one of this new object on the entire planet and you're in competition with dozens of labs worldwide, some of which will take a day to make a new reaction flask and win the publish or perish race, and some that will take a month to make the same new reaction flask and they'll be the ones who lose the publish or perish race.

3) The other confusion is people thinking its like buying a screwdriver from China instead of from a local machinist, or downloading an app from the app store why reinvent the wheel. But a master glass blower is of the category of work thats more like buying a rocket engine R+D component that has never been made in history much less mass produced, or is more like writing the first app in its category. In that way, having a large team that needs to coordinate between the chemist, the engineer, the CAD guy and the 3d printer operator is the usual management fallacy of nine women making a baby in a month, surely the scientific glass blower can do it alone, cheaper, more reliably, and much faster than the 3d printing team could ever hope to achieve.

4) Its not insightful that if you're doing world class competitive research requiring world class labor to remain competitive, then switching your subject matter expert labor fields isn't going to fix anything. The research that requires a tech with 20 years of experience is going to have just as hard of a time, if not harder, in finding a 3d printer tech with 20+ years of experience as it will finding a replacement for the master glass blower who retired with 40 years of experience.

5) If you know the playing field is leveled for blown glass equipment, then the only thing thats certain about switching to 3d printed glass is it'll take time and money your competitors aren't spending. The issue with #2 is there is no mass production, the specific issue with #5 is you don't get bonus points for doing things the hard way or being intentionally obscure. If in an industry that publishes in English, you publish all your papers in Klingon, thats very impressive but you'll never get tenure with that attitude, everyone will always be ahead in a terrain defined by publishing in English. Until the majority give up on glass blowing custom gear, you'll always be at the back of the research pack.

"access" refers to reading there. Not reading or writing. Objects may be treated as arrays of character type to the extent that their value may be examined that way.

If you memcpy a uint64_t to a double, the implementation is not required to notice that the double variable's value has changed; a subsequent access to that variable can continue to refer to a register. It's not a matter of what bit pattern was stored there.

> The reason, economists reckon, is power. New hires generate a surplus, reflecting the fact that both worker and firm expect to gain from the transaction. Wage bargaining is a negotiation over how to split this surplus.

Hello Marx.

> If firms have the upper hand, because a new job is harder to find than a new worker, employers capture most of the surplus, creating a gap between the value created by workers and what they are paid.

US has full employment, so this explanation does not take into account that finding a job is super easy. Im skeptical.

The topic is interesting, but the story didn't contain what I was looking for. It doesn't describe how the manager was awful and how it was improved, nor how it was measured that things improved.

Actually, the rather non-connected tips don't really resonate with me. I am also a dev who became manager. I don't even involve myself with sprint planning and day-to-day monitoring of small tasks. I have enough devs that are capable of doing that, so I delegated those tasks. I trust them.

I mostly try to provide structure where needed, help my teams with escalation and solving of problems. Content wise I try to set out the grander vision about in which direction we move (of course with input from the teams) and have content wise discussion with my teams every few weeks. For the rest it is mostly developing your people and making sure they love their work, they have everything they need, listen to them when they need that and help them where possible.

I'm of the opinion that economic statistics become almost worthless from the perspective of politics and policy once you get to a certain sample size.

A cost of living statistic that averages out cost of living between say Michigan and coastal California is quite wrong in both places. It will grossly underestimate cost of living in California and overestimate it in Michigan.

I think this is one of the major problems with politics and economic policy setting at the national and global level. National and global leaders look at big aggregate statistics, which completely blinds them to the street level realities everywhere except those places that happen to coincide with the statistical median. Most places do not coincide with the statistical median. I think this largely explains the recent global populist uprising as well as the fact that global leaders were surprised by it.

Large scale macro statistics might be useful for setting things like Fed interest rates, but they're nearly worthless for addressing local problems.
