So, many possible reasons, and one way or another it's the relative power of employer vs. labor, but one possible factor: the longer the downturn/slowdown, the longer after it ends before wages go up. The recovery from the Great Recession was by far the slowest in living memory, so it takes longer before employers stop thinking "people will take this job soon, I just know it", and instead think "I'd better raise the pay or I'll lose the people I've got". And maybe they think that, because it's true, and you have to have a good labor market for a longer period of time before people start to hop jobs more, if they experienced a longer wait before they got the job they have.
I think the idea that everyone has to go to college is a factor in this.

Many of my friends from undergrad ended up graduating with a mountain of debt, but unable to find jobs requiring a college degree.
This forces them to compete for low income jobs (that traditionally don't require a degree), while in the weak bargaining position of being desperate for money just to stay afloat and short on experience.
Join a union. Join the IWW if you can't find one. America has a massively tilted playing field towards bosses and it needs to be tilted back.
Right, and this actually indicates that the market is working and very robust and healthy. Companies will try and hire the most qualified candidates at the lowest cost possible. If a company needs to fill positions desperately enough they will increase their offers.
Purchasing power through consumer debt is at an all-time high.

Whereas workers needed wage increases to buy TVs, cars, and homes... today just about everything can be financed.

The long-term impact of this is lower savings and delayed retirement (if retiring at all).
There is no reason to think that's the simplest explanation.

An equally simple explanation is that for the majority of jobs there is essentially a wage monopoly/cartel keeping wages low, and workers have significant barriers to moving to different areas. [1][2][3][4]

Yup. Thanks for looking. Getting everyone on board with a 10 to 20-house collective would be very hard. The terrain is really unforgiving. All the houses are by the water, with steep rocky hills behind them. Any maintenance is a big issue. That "somebody with a modicum of networking clue" doesn't live in Egmont.

Atm my parents are paying 100/month for sat internet, and another 50 for sat TV. It suits their needs today but they know that when the grandkids are a little older bandwidth will be an issue. When I visit I bring them thumbdrives full of all TV shows they cannot get.
May be I am playing with definitions, so I apologize if you think so although I think I have reasons for my thinking. Here's my logic: may be someone hates x, but not doing x has adverse consquences, so they don't stop x. That, to me, sounds like a decision, that isn't "unsure", that's doing x even though you hate it because you don't want to lose out on y,z,\omega. The thing is that still is a decision to me.

In a similar sense, doing x for a period of time until you can quit and never do it again is also a decision, and it has its own circumstance, but it is also a sure decision.

What I read what they said, is I don't like x, but I have reasons y,z,\omega, so should I stop x? That is what I call "unsure", even if you don't like x. The reason I think so, is because you're still open to keeping x, even though you hate x, and you have the ability to say no to x. Then, why say no to x, and lose y,z,\omega anyway? Which is worse? x or not y,z,\omega?

I guess the reason is especially in Western culture, we put way too much stock in internal motivations, and all of psychology and history teaches us that internal motivations often end up being BS, fancy stories we tell ourselves anyway. Often times, material context matters a lot more than internal reasons. It's not moods don't matter at all, and I'm not saying we're just machines, but people seem to seriously discount one's context these days.
It is hard to understand the argument here. PKI is not identity.

Why is there a PDF of your identity card, and why is it encrypted? Surely nothing publicly visible on the identity card is private information.

Private identifiers on citizens would not be very useful.

It seems like a lot people here are confused as to what is an identifier and what is authentication. An identifier uniquely identifies someone (the uid), while authentication is the way to prove identity (the password). One is normally public while the other has a secret component to it.
The alternative is developing your education, whether in a trade school or University, and working towards a career that is sustainable in the area you choose to live.
> In short, the algorithm is adapted such that the influence of a single user on the model is limited, and noise is added.

But in any case (added noise or not), the user-provided weight-updates are improving the model in a certain way. So I suppose that, based on this fact, it inevitably leaks information about the user. For example, assume we are training cat and dog images. Run a test with 1000 validation images of cats and see how much the network got right. Then add the user-provided updates, and see how much the network got right. The difference tells us something about the user's images. This doesn't necessarily work in every case, but statistically it could paint a picture.

(Of course, happy to be proved wrong)
How is the fault for low wages on the worker, and not the employer? Why is the employer granted the freedom to push unlivable wages, rather than the worker being granted the right to be paid livable wages?
Unions protect incumbent workers against new entrants. That's obviously great for you if you're personally an incumbent worker in an industry that's unionizing, but can't move the needle on the economy as a whole. As price rises, quantity demanded drops.

> For the majority of America there's no such thing as negotiating wages.

What makes you say that?

According to the first report I found via Google [1], workers who earn minimum wage make up about 2.3% of the labor force. Wouldn't that imply that almost all employees have at least some bargaining power?

Note: the report seems to only talk about workers paid hourly, I assume the statistic is no worse for full-time employees.

I say keep Elm weird, and simple. Just use socket.io with ports and chill.
The problem is that most programmers do not bother to make whitespace visible, so tabs-for-indentation-spaces-for-alignment inevitably leads to a mess of mixed tabs and spaces.

I personally use tabs-for-indentation-spaces-for-alignment in my personal code, but I think I'd lose my mind if I tried to mandate it for a public or team project without a standard code formatter like gofmt.

Facebook is THE tracking platform and Facebook mines every word on it, and they STILL haven't fixed the fake news problem there.

First, I fully agree with everything you say. It can not be replaced, and it is horrible. I did not write to make a pleasantry. I have empathy for the loss and the sadness.

However, the hurt is mediated by attachment to the past. It is not possible to alter the past, but its interpretation is more vulnerable.

I am only trying to share a way: recognizing it is due to attachment. Then it only becomes nostalgia which can only really hurt by the sense of alienation. It becomes "easier" to handle.

I remind of the taste of the cooking by my mother and grandmother - a taste that I am unable to replicate - or even even name the dishes. My mother lamented than I prefer english to her native tongue. It is all true.

I just chose to lessen the hurt by detaching myself from the past.
It's not an either/or thing at all. The browsers are slowly trying to tighten policies on Referer, but it's a process because there are still some webpages that unfortunately rely on it being sent. (You can force it off, at least in Firefox, if you want to.) The point of this site header is so that sites that don't need Referer to be set can explicitly tell your browser that, protecting you from snooping third parties.
That's a good suggestion, but a better one would be: Consider reading the rules for Show HN and then submitting it properly as a link with the title starting with Show HN.

Really interesting, thanks for sharing this.

Why is it called Cedar & Sail when (as far as I can tell) it has nothing to do with either of those things? :p

In any case, congrats on hitting it big with Baremetrics!
I am going to take a contrary position and say this is a positive. The reason why is employers are responding by bring in more of the marginal into the workforce. If wages start to rise the underclass will remain unemployed and excluded.
One space indenting makes nested if statements and nested for loops a pain to read. Especially in long functions.
So how do they really compare?

Centralized content with decentralized systems won. And they're doing so well it all appears centralized.
The tabs advantages you mention are largely hypothetical / theoretical in nature, because there will inevitably be a mix of spaces AND tabs. So the choice is really: "spaces only" vs "tabs and spaces". Which is why spaces wins.

How would using tabs break your vertical alignment? You'd still get the exact same alignment but instead of pressing space four times, you just press tab once. Most IDEs will either convert tabs to spaces or auto-indent based on the language-specific rules anyway, so I really don't understand this argument either way.
Too much supply (employees) is a problem we should examine. Part of the reason why this is he case is because small business are having an increasingly difficult time competing with the resources of larger companies. Why have 6 accounts each at a small business of their own when a company 6 times the size can get by with 2?

I think part of the blame is the regulation around employees. It’s hard to run a small business. Even trying to do something like offer reasonable health insurance can destroy huge amounts of profit. You need to make a lot per employee for it to work.
Nice idea in theory but in practice you have people who take out loans just to go to community college, then their car breaks down or a relative has a medical issue, so they drop out to get a job to pay for the new expenses, then the student loans kick in, then they’re stuck in low wage life with even less of a chance of advancement through education.

A lot of people can’t work or educate themselves out of the circumstances that put them in poverty, and it’s no fault of their own.

Even then, I heard Smalltalk development was like Lisp, with the ability to do incremental compilation / image based development where you initiate an image that represents a process with built-in, generic saving functionality and the ability to edit the code while it runs. You could start an image, run it, build the program as it runs, save it, restart the computer, and continue the image so it runs from the point it was saved. Here's some online documentation that describes that[1].

There's also REPLs for Smalltalk, but none for Java due to it's syntactic structure that prevents top-level statements.

That sounds like Smalltalk leads to far different development experiences compared to Java.

In other words, I can't think of how anything between Smalltalk and Java could be similar (at least more so than comparing it to any other programming language). Could you expand on that?

Isn't the lack of wage growth the reason that most large purchases are financed?
I've become more and more annoyed with Twitter (the company) and Twitter (the things people are tweeting) and I've been looking for a replacement. I really like the way that the Fediverse has all kinds of different groups/instances/neighborhoods. For example, I joined https://ruby.social this week and I've had some interesting discussions about Ruby programming. Twitter is a mess of everything because anything and everything is a topic.
I love the Android client. OpenVPN used to consume some 25% of the battery life. With wireguard it's next to nothing and it's very very quick to connect. Great stuff!
I read that article too and am skeptical. There is a less-than-perfect correlation between space weather an wheel friction increases, but these are not exposed bearings on the outside of spacecraft. These are deep inside, behind layers of metal parts. I don't see the mechanism for creating the imbalance of charges necessary to arc inside the bearings. If it is happening, I would expect this to be far more common in terrestrial bearings. Cars build up static charges. We aren't seeing their bearings degrading so suddenly when after they drive through lighting storms or other static charge imbalances.
This article is from February—could a fourth possible reason be that local variance is a normal phenomenon and this is not indicative of a wider trend? I say this because the sudden and drastic dip in median weekly earnings in the last quarter of last year has already recovered 75% in the first two quarters this year according to https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t01.htm

Went from $353 -> $345 -> $351 at end of second quarter this year.

The overall trend is still very much up. That being said, even if wages do continue to increase, the fact that only half of real growth is making it to workers is still problematic and could be related to other reasons mentioned in the article.
Because eventually you'll run out of consumers as people pay nearly their full paycheck for absolutely necessities like shelter.
In a closed labour market (one where the number of available workers remains stable) it would have begun rising already. Wages are artificially depressed using immigration. Like most markets, labour vs demand for labour is just a function of supply and demand.

*Just to clarify, this issue is definitely more complicated than an S&D curve and it is not my intention for this issue to become mired in politics. However it's worth having a discussion about domestic wage stagnation and the decline of the middle class in the US, and how it relates to the past 30 years of trade liberalization and increased immigration rates.

> Compared to these alternatives, Bitcoin miners make very, very inefficient heaters

...which is why I specifically talked about people "whose homes used electrical resistance heating". Many areas do not have gas available by pipe, and having it delivered by truck in liquid form is often expensive. People living in rental units may not be allowed to install a heat pump, and heat pumps have a high up front cost that keeps out many people who aren't blocked by any other restrictions.

Also, even people with other, more efficient, heat sources might have situations where electrical resistance heat makes sense. For example, it may save money at night to turn down a whole house heat pump to a level that would be uncomfortably cold, and use an electrical space heater to just keep your bedroom warmer.
> It’s only a matter of time before companies will be forced to start increasing wages

This article is from February. Wages, at that point, were increasing a little faster than inflation. They’re now increasing considerably faster than inflation outside manufacturing, which is confronting the twin headwinds of automation and export...erm...difficulties. Fortunately, a solid (and shrinking) minority of Americans work are exposed.
Combination, I typically hold 5 assets at once for my long term investments. Rebalancing every 12 months. Last year I was holding Litecoin, Ethereum, Amazon, AMD (been holding that for 3 years now..), and TMobile.

This year it is Amazon, AMD, Discover Financial, PayPal, and Heritage-Crystal Clean (just because it trends oil, but also has assets, algorithm wasn't specific).

I've successful made over 100% yoy, since 2013 though. Again, take that with a grain of salt. Who the knows if it'll work next year.
Tabs 100%. Especially in cases with significant whitespace like Python.

Personally, I don't get nor like the "just press the space bar 12 times when you want to indent to 3 levels“ argument. I routinely look at different code in the same editor. Someone’s Python code, another open source library’s Javascript code, some abandoned Wordpress theme.

Don't break my horizontal cadence. If I’m used to single-level indentations being 4 characters wide it really throws me off when I’m looking at indentations a single character wide. I have to refactor the entire code just for the step-indentations to be “normal” for me. A tab-indentation on my editor is as wide as I’m comfortable with.

I don’t care what form someone uses. I’m probably selecting all and converting spaces to tabs when I’m working with it. And maybe I’ll program my editor to automatically convert tabs to spaces when I’m uploading to GIT to make everyone happy. That's where it's at.
I think Redux middleware is the answer to this. My preferred approach is to keep all my actions as simple serializable objects, and have (potentially many) small middlewares that listen for certain action types and perform async tasks and dispatch further simple action objects.

There are also more fully-baked middlewares like Redux Saga, but I find that those are a bit too heavy-handed and result in too much “lock-in” for implementing your actions and action creators.
Conversely, not having appropriate, enough or under-skilled employees makes them uncompetitive as well.

In retail, consider Costco, who are known for paying decent wages and benefits. As a result of that, they have less shrink/theft and are able to compete.

In technology, consider any big name tech firm. Chances are they understand what skills they need to be competitive and are willing to pay for them - creating upwards pressure for tech folks.
Depends on where.
hey - thanks for participating in the discussion here.

I've got a giant list of ideas (99.9% horrible) i've kept over the years. they always seem exciting when I'm writing them down ..but a week later they seem laughable. I always find myself thinking, despite realizing the idea is horrible - that I should have created a 2 or 3 page website as a business-like pre-mvp on the concept while I was still excited about it.
>The alternative is developing your education, whether in a trade school or University, and working towards a career that is sustainable in the area you choose to live.

That needs several things to fall into place, including lots of perspective from a young age.

Ever tried being born in a single parent family, where the parent is also not the greatest role model (or doesn't have the time, working to feed you) to be?

Heck, who said you can even afford taking time off and going to university or even trade school? Or that you've had enough quality education early on to get through it? And what if you're really not that smart to begin with (which is perfectly normal too)?
Which is the hidden downside of free market economics. It incentivises exactly this kind of cost cutting, even when it isn't beenficial to society.
Yeah. You know, I'm a tabs live well, but the amount of time fighting indentation/alignment with tabs/spaces is longer than just with spaces.

So, my suggestion is that we indent with dots '.' .

Classic false dichotomy, it's both. Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment.
