regarding drugs, I suspect a reason why sticker prices are high because drugs are expensive to develop, and drug companies must recoup costs and make a profit before the patent expires. A couple years ago Scott Alexander did a bunch of posts about healthcare cost,s but I don;t think anyone reached a conclusions as to why prices keep rising so much. It's more like a bunch of possible factors, but no definitive pinpoint cause.
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service – Our First Impressions
I just got a 2400G too. I'm in the process of designing a custom 3d printed case - aiming for a very small design. It's a great APU for everyday stuff, but the EHP concept could be a monster in a similar package. Running Fedora Rawhide on it and I still get lockups after a few minutes of BZflag - but it's starting more reliably after the last update.

I've had the same experience with Arcanist. I think it might be a good solution if the team is not very experienced with Git, as it provides a straightforward workflow. However, using some more "advanced" features myself, I felt crippled. My main pain point was about squashing all PR commits automatically (i.e. enforcing the Squash Merge strategy). Again, this might be a good idea for junior developers, but I'd rather decide myself how to separate my commits.

I also remember having some issues with Arcanist on Windows.

yeah, this is my takeaway here as well. their fundamental view is always that stability is preferable to chaos -- and they prioritize that higher than maintaining their economic views.

> The emphasis should be on boosting living standards than trying to enforce equality.

Why? Because you say so, and because supporting the status-quo and the will of the powerful requires no further argument?

> If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.

-- Stephen Hawking

Money in politics does matter. A money differential is just a means for people to have power over others -- without which they would have to convince them, which would force them to think and other such fancy things. Verily, money enables people to have a pretend narrative where there's really just garbled BS underneath. Having to witness that every day, on every street corner, on every website, lowers my living standards by so much I cannot make up for that with nicer clothes or a bigger house.

Keep your change, I want change.

A "growing pie" doesn't mean anything if the ability of a few to seize all of it is growing even faster, and if that's just a little bump of fast food, branded clothing and mobile devices, before billions get murdered in a flash, for example. And it doesn't have to be that drastic, just constant manipulation by massive PR campaigns is bad enough, effective slavery is bad enough. A few shouldn't be able to mold and use the many that way, doubly so not considering how deeply sick they themselves tend to be.

It's like we're talking about two different people, who would make a better babysitter, and I point out that one person has blood on their clothes and is awfully interested in how many neighbors live in shouting range -- and you say "yeah, but they have slightly nicer clothes and brought candy for the baby", and I'm like, I want to get a divorce.
>So yeah, there is a world view where paying people money to risk their lives to advertise your buttcoin is immoral.

It's well known that folks in the lower 70% of global income have seen significant growth. There's even a name for the plot - "the elephant chart."

https://avc.com/2016/08/elephant-chart/

The chart, as I understand it (in limited reading), tracks three phenomenon:

1. Increasing wealth formation by more disadvantaged groups in non-first world countries (the "body" of the elephant).

2. Wealth stagnation for middle classes in first-world countries (the "dip" in the elephant's trunk).

3. Increasing returns to capital held by upper classes in first-world countries (the "trunk" of the elephant).
Medical transition is supervised by both doctors and mental health care professionals. Each step has extensive waiting periods and requirements. It's therapeutic value has been demonstrated repeatedly.

Adding Vue.js to Your Technology Stack – Everything You Need to Know
Additionally we are learning more that psychological effects of poverty translate to material outcomes, like higher mortality rates, even after controlling for baseline access to material benefits like health care or nutrition or education.

For example, Last Place Aversion is a real psychological effect that motivates people in their voting habits, e.g. minimum wage laws. Status signalling effects in medical outcomes are also an area of active research (e.g. the richest person in a poor neighborhood can end up having significantly better longevity outcomes than a wealthier person who happens to be the poorest person in a rich neighborhood).

Relative wealth has material effects on health, mortality, etc., which look to be driven by psychological effects and persist even when controlling for material benefits.

In other words, if you're in the middle class and your perspective is that you have to work harder to be less relatively well off, this psychological factor can be a cause for genuine material harm.

I think we are only just beginning to understand these types of inequality effects.

Naturally scarce stores of value like Bitcoin, gold, diamonds, etc. have always "wasted" resources, whether they be power, human resource, or polluting the environment.

It's called spec programming, where you have programmers slinging code against precise specifications. Common in ERP and regulatory or business compliance-driven code.

On the other hand, you have development. That is where you're attacking the less defined problems. Sure, we know the tools in our toolset, how to apply them, and time it takes to apply each tool. Problem is, the time to figure out the series of tools needed and their precise applications burns enormous time, time that could have been spent towards a MVP.
A great bargaining chip for unskilled workers would be the viable alternative of unemployment backed by universal health care and basic income.

EDIT: this idea is in the article:

More radical ideas like a universal basic income—a welfare payment made to everyone regardless of work status—or a jobs guarantee, which extends the right to a government job paying a decent wage to everyone, would shift power to workers and force firms to work harder to retain employees.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I think the US is going to have an experiment on how the legislative and judicial branches of government might "check and balance" the executive branch in a two-party system. This seems only mildly related to Facebook. Other media organizations are equally if not more important for propaganda.

I don't believe Turnbull had anything to do with the technical side of Ozemail (which was only ever a dial-up network and mail provider), he was just on the business side.

Clearly when he became the communications minister I think he demonstrated that while he was willing to ignore experts and destroy things maliciously for political gain, I believe he also demonstrated he didn't actually understand recent tech or broadband networks much at all through a lot of it either. There were things that I think he actually believed that were rubbish.
I'm not the person you're asking, but I did coincidentally read this book last night.

It's main message is that:

1) The averages person's knowledge of the world is extremely outdated and in most cases blatantly incorrect. It's not that people don't know the answers to questions like "what percentage of the world's population live in extreme poverty", it's that they think they know and their answer is incorrect.

2) Human's have a lot of instincts that work against them when trying to evaluate data. For example, implicitly assuming that straight line graphs will continue in a straight line, focusing far more on negative things than positive things, categorizing things incorrectly, and misunderstanding large numbers.

3) Positive change tends to happen very slowly and therefore isn't consider newsworthy, so we don't hear about it even though it's happening every day.

The book really made me question my view of the world and I would highly recommend it to everyone. It's short, easy to read, enjoyable, and very insightful.

That said, the author focused more in the differences between what he calls the four levels of poverty, and to be on level 4 (the level almost everyone on this site is on) you only need to make $64 or more a day. He doesn't talk much about the inequality between the people at the bottom of level 4 and those at the top.

I would attempt to apply the authors thoughts to this specific situation, but I only finished the book a few hours ago and haven't really finished processing the information yet so I will leave that task to someone else for now.

Hope this information helps, and I really think the book is a good read for everyone. Bill Gates is giving a free .epub copy away to all college grads in the US this year, and I don't think his website actually verifies that you are graduating, so I think anyone that signs up can download it here.

so, I'd have said the exact same thing about the millennium development goals (MDGs) until a few months ago when I attended a talk by the former secretary of the UN, Ban Ki-Moon.

Ban had many wonderful things to say, but one thing really shook me. he said that as a leader of the UN, he had failed in fostering the world's development, as had his recent predecessors.

he then went on to say that accomplishing the MDGs and specifically slashing severe poverty was largely an illusion if you approach it from the perspective of international collaboration. he said that nearly all of the MDGs which were met were met because china had reinvested in its own country to the extent that its massive population's standard of living had substantially improved.

that's it. not international collaboration. not the west's efforts to pull others out of poverty. just china doing the best that it could for itself over a long period of time, with the amazing conclusion of those efforts coinciding with the deadlines for the MDGs.

so yeah, the world is getting better -- but it isn't necessarily the whole world, and it isn't necessarily because of our efforts to improve things, and we definitely can't relax.
Not to get sidetracked into a semantic argument, but as a non-native speaker of English: isn't that exactly what "capture" in "capture difficult issues" is supposed to mean?
Speaking as a full time lead maintenance mechanic at a local auto repair shop, The tradecrafts have kept a pretty reasonable grip on bargaining power. The shop owners understand that if its not an honest days work for an honest days pay, I will leave. strong unions in the past have worked hard to ensure I could, if i chose to, open my own shop in about 3 days time. My local automotive mechanics union would even cover the cost of shipping new tools to my shop, and maybe run an ad or two in the paper.

Mr H. if you're reading this, im certainly not quitting anytime soon! :)

Ive worked in aerospace as well, where tradesmen are frequently paid more than managers. hassling an engine tech here, or casually second guessing one, is unthinkable and has gotten good managers demoted or fired. I was basically on-par with a surgeon as far as my respect and authority was concerned.

Im not saying ive never been part of a strike. Most of my union jobs have been rewarding and fulfilling, with a level of transparency rarely seen in big shops. Ive had C level accountants sit down in a hanger with us to go over why we need to trim down on expenses, and make sure we understand it in plain english. To me, that speaks a lot.

As for people in the Amazon shipping trenches, all you need to do is be brave, stay motivated, and push for a union. You regional and long haul amazon truckers also have a lot more bargaining power than you realize.
> Rising rent will absolutely be in the inflation number. Sure, it might not be correct if you live in a big city where rents have risen way beyond inflation numbers, but it's good on average.

This assumes the numbers accurately represent reality. Here in Canada, the shelter component of our CPI numbers do not reflect at all the massive price inflation that has been occurring in both buying and renting shelter.

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=181000...

If one was to take their numbers at face value, you would conclude that shelter price inflation is generally consistent with all other goods, and that it has been consistent across all regions, neither of which is true.

> [...] to require publishers like Apple to push out backdoored OS updates or apps to targeted users (or physically seized devices, as in the San Bernardino case). Perhaps the ability to obtain such targeted warrants would be less socially harmful than increased use of the existing, but more intrusive, surveillance powers.

We've seen in the push to Windows 10 that, when automated updates are used in a harmful manner, people disable automated updates. The same would happen here: once it's been shown that the automated updated mechanism has been used to purposefully push a harmful update, people will start disabling automated updates.

Which means that Apple and Google have a good reason for opposing such requests.

(And that's before getting to the "elephant in the room": the same mechanism created for these requests can, and probably will, also be used by malicious actors.)

I’m not sure why housing and fuel were juxtaposed; most “core” inflation indexes I’m familiar with remove fuel and FOOD, because the short term volatility for those two are very high.

[A national estimate of] housing generally is included.

I don’t agree with the root poster of this thread, though, because real wages are generally indexed to national consumption, whereas housing specifically (and to a lesser extent, food and services) are local markets, so you can have real wage growth but if you live in a high COL area, you really do have to look at real income and deflate (slightly! People often do COL deflation on gross salary, which is silly) for COL.
