You are 100% right. What I tried to say is that some powerful people are trying to channel economic anxiety into explanations that don't threaten their own power. Being angry about immigration or diversity doesn't really threaten billionaires but being angry about inequality does.

So of several problems the propaganda machine picks the most convenient.
this whole article is purely leading the charge for how Democrats are going to down play the increase in market, lower jobless numbers especially among minorities, and reports of general good will in the small business area.

Schumer only recently decided he wanted GPD reported differently for the same reason politicians always want to change the measuring stick, because current numbers don't support the message they want the public to hear.

It is very evident we are going to get swamped with all sorts of "new economics" and "fair economics" stories leading up to 2018 because the current numbers being reported look that good. The key is filtering this political campaign driven noise.
Surprised by the fluidity on mobile. Compare to magicleap.com, impressive on desktop but broken on (my android) phone.
I made an alternative to CopperheadOS after it fell apart for those interested: https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack. Rather than providing random binaries of an OS to install on your phone, I've gone the route of creating a cross platform tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, that provisions all of the AWS infrastructure needed to continuously build your own personal RattlesnakeOS, with your own signing keys, and your own OTA updates. It uses AWS Lambda to provision EC2 Spot Instances that build RattlesnakeOS and upload artifacts to S3. Resulting OS builds are configured to receive over the air updates from this environment.

That is a false talking point. The approval rate of FISA warrants does not reflect the strength of oversight. Be careful. There is a lot of disinformation out there designed to discredit democracies.

Discussion of why this is false:
https://www.stanfordlawreview.org/online/is-the-foreign-inte...

The win rate is misleading for a simple reason: The requests the FISC receives are not a random or representative sample of all cases in which the executive branch believes it would benefit from a warrant. The number and type of government requests are responsive to the level of oversight the court exercises—just as a plaintiff’s decision to litigate is responsive to changes in the law. Because it is costly to make an ex parte application (in time, resources, and reputation) and because the executive has long-running knowledge of how the FISC treats applications, there is little reason to expect agencies to submit losing requests. And while the rarity of ex parte proceedings might make this outcome seem unprecedented or extraordinary, other ex parte proceedings—like those for Title III wiretaps and delayed-notice warrants—display equally lopsided results: the government “wins” almost 100% of the time.
The 16-18 year old segment of that group is high school kids. In my area, it appears that there are a lot fewer jobs avaialable than when I was that age. For example, my friends and I were all "paper boys" delivering various newspapers. Now I notice middle aged people flinging the papers out of cars. We also used to mow lawns and shovel snow. Those jobs are all taken by professional landscapers. Also, many parents would rather their high school kids did school-related activities than some low wage job.
This aligns with my experience. I would bike (in SF and now NYC) but I don't because it feels too stressful and dangerous.

It annoys me how entrenched car culture is and how defensive some people get about it (and the amount of anger that is directed toward cyclists, many of whom legitimately fear for their lives on a daily basis).
Yes, the whole point was they were given two unlabeled samples, and they preferred the one that ended up being Pepsi.

This is not surprising as Pepsi is much, much sweeter so in small doses it does tend to be preferred. However, when given a full glass, many go back to preferring Coke.

Are you selling from the site? If not, I'd argue that you want something very much like a landing page; and what sort will depend on your audience.

Regardless of audience, you want one exit route - so every link goes to Amazon (or wherever you're selling it). If it's technical, I'd probably go slightly longer form (although still one page) - explaining the chapters, explaining the content, etc. etc. If it's fiction, probably a very quick overview as I'd guess the conversion is slightly easier and you're just looking to get them to Amazon to buy the thing. A friend of mine has this for his recent fiction book(s): http://jamiehumm.com/ - page reflects the cover, short synopsis, everything links out to the book.

If you're not set on Wordpress, look for some of the landing page generators - you can probably achieve the same thing with less work.
Anyone with suggestions on using greensock with react?
First, it's been about to collapse for decades. We keep being about to run out of oil. For my part, I think there's a lot more fracking that will happen if the price rises much farther. Oil therefore may rise a bit, but will continue to be available at a non-ruinous price (speaking purely economically here).

Second, renewables are close to being able to take significant load off of fossil fuels. Already coal use is declining (at least in America), and not because coal got scarce or expensive.
> Either you choose a somewhat open platform, or you choose privacy.]]

Sadly yes, which is why I backed the Librem 5 and hope it pans out, the promise of an open platform that respects your privacy is a really compelling one right now.
I.e., you wall yourself into your own garden that you aren't conceivably going to want to maintain and that no one cares to build apps for.

iOS and Android are the choices. I say pick your poison. If a new choice comes along, I don't see any reason for the dynamics to be any different. People want high quality well-integrated electronics, and you only get that by being beholden to the manufacturer.
Isn’t this basically just a proxy of poverty and drug use?

I think a more interesting map would be life expectancy of those over 70.
>Roads are currently designed for human drivers. Roads designed for automated vehicles could use different signalling systems for intersections and road works, and even parking (it would help if unattended vehicles could be moved at will for tighter packing).

For the amount of money it would take to completely overhaul the country's entire transportation infrastructure to accommodate self-driving cars in this way, you could have built a phenomenal train and bus system with bike/scooter lanes everywhere.

So what exactly is the value add of cars then?
FWIW, they highlight privacy as a feature wherever applicable during their live events.
This is a pretty essential point that I think changes the calculus of contact quite a bit. A civilisation capable of visiting us at a reasonable expense to themselves would presumably have much easier access to near unlimited astroids/moons for automated mining.

So unless they really prize rare meat or have other illogical goals you wouldn't expect any aliens to visit us until its as easy for them as it is for us to take a transatlantic flight... I wonder if they're also arguing that they should stay silent to preserve our culture instead of curing our diseases etc.
I think there are some things totally like that, but I did notice my young kids seeing a bug and being scared right away. Or funny thing, any cat will do this, put a cucumber next to them without them noticing, and they jump like 3 feet in the air when they see it but its so fast it seems they just react like when you touch a hot metal so its instant. I saw this on Youtube about the cats and tried it with 2 of mine. Its so funny to watch them fly. Anyway, meaning they have an inherent fear of snakes baked into their DNA seems like. We are all mammals and we most likely have some similar things like that.

One thing Elon Musk said that made me rethink some things. In his NeuralLink company, he said they came to the conclusion that our neural cortex is "hosted" by our limbic system in his quest to eventually have our neural cortex host AI itself. What that means is our limbic system is driving the motivation of our neocortex to do complicated things to appease it. So in other words, our underlying needs are still very rudimentary in that sense shared with other mammals and even reptiles despite our neocortex reasoning that we are more than that.
I agree with vinbreau. I've been 100% remote for about 10 years now and echo his comments.

> I also don't want to have superficial conversations with coworkers

I would argue this is a problem with the relationship between you and your coworkers and/or the size of your company and nothing to do with the means by which you communicate. Some of these people also may just not be your "kind" of person you like.

In addition to my remote work mates I have also found remote gaming buddies. Both workers and gamers alike I have found deep relationships with. I know all about their kids, pets, activities, deaths, illnesses, etc. Comparing these faceless friends to friends I regularly see in my area are the same. In some cases the faceless people are deeper because you can chat whenever. IRL friends you have to deal with families and work schedules and a month may go by before we can meetup to grab a drink or movie together, especially when they start having kids.

I would bet if you can't find much to talk about remotely you wouldn't find anything more to talk about in person besides the weather and how the coffee tastes today. Just because a person is next to me doesn't mean I like him or will have a deep relationship with him/her. I've sat in an office before, 5 years with a team. Some people just aren't compatible. When I left, I no longer communicated with them, the ones I did develop a relationship with I still talk to to this day.
In Atlanta, at least, it depends on which suburb. South in Newnan for $100k you can get a similar townhouse to that which you'd get in Alpharetta for $300k. In the city, North, it would cost $400k and south it might cost $150k.
It's actually his personal diary, written often while he was on campaign. From that perspective I think it's impressive how insightful he managed to be in short bursts. But if you are looking for something more long-form, you might try Seneca's Letters or Epictetus Discourses.
I've always found that doctors' behavior correlate well with that of programmers. Both tend to have a high view of themselves and are therefore less prone to introspection or admitting mistakes. I've definitely seen points 1, 2 and 3 coming from both doctors and developers.

Something we’ve used before is preprocessor string hashing similar to [1]. Basically we hash strings at compile time to ints and use those for our case statements. Word of caution though, there’s the possibility of collisions. It works great on a limited set of strings like XML tags and such.

Yep, that's kind of the point. Working remote doesn't cause depression, it enables it, particularly when your lifestyle makes depression a high probability. If you're a type B "loner" that doesn't really have friends/family, I would argue that you probably shouldn't work remote if you also happen to be susceptible to depression.

FWIW, they recently deployed a new filesystem to 1 billion devices with a software update. I'm pretty sure that qualifies them as a competent engineering organization.
Shaming people for intensely personal choices is rude. Cut it out.

Your argument basically presupposes that there’s something desirable about suburban homes, and that people not buying them is abnormal. I find this both unconvincing and historically incoherent.
the problem is less that we don't value the forest, but that we are absolutely horrible at valuing the future. our brains are designed to optimize for the present and near future. the value of the forest is spread out over thousands of years (just like the value of fossil fuels), and we just can't intuit that kind of value.

forests are like annuities (small payments forever), rather than lump-sums, but our brains respond vastly more to lump-sums. this bias is also why terrorist attacks lead to action, while vehicular deaths, which kill way more people, don't.

we have ways to objectively (if imperfectly) value things like forests, but we just don't intuitively believe in that number. for example, the concept of a carbon tax makes objective sense, but this kind of bias is its achilles heel.

(this subject came up in a number of my business school classes, which i found quite useful for learning how to think about such things)
Ahhhh. I had no idea this thing was interactive. That's not intuitive at all. The only that that indicates that is the "Interaction" in the title and I skipped over that part and just start reading the commands.
That's a fascinating (and probably harmless) misperception. :)
Yes it does. You are putting political correctness above science. Genetics play a part in alcohol addiction, heart disease, etc.
This is true but let's face it if the 5 Eyes want to spy on you then you have massive problems - one person trying to defend against the state is an absolute fantasy. It's Google/Facebook/OnePlus/Samsung spying on me for commercial gain that I can do something about.
> Econ 101: adding more supply of some thing (labor) will reduce the price of that thing (wages).

Econ 201: Immigrants are consumers too. Adding more demand for some thing (consumers of products) will increase the price of that thing (wages of producers).

Almost everyone agrees that growing the economy is good. When a child is born, we don't lament how that infant will be driving down wages when they reach adulthood.

There is nothing different about immigrants. They are full participants in all sides of the economy.

The real reason that immigrants are a threat to American workers is because they will accept shittier jobs. They drive down quality of the average job because they are more willing to suffer. But that's not a problem with immigrants, it's a problem with our worker protection laws and how they are enforced. Neither immigrants nor non-immigrants should have to pee in cups to avoid leaving the assembly line, work full time without benefits, have unreported workplace-caused injuries, etc.
Sorry, but I don't buy it. I believe this is just effective marketing which is exploiting the current Facebook, Google, Microsoft privacy discussions.

Apple doesn't care about privacy, it cares about money and will continue playing this record from now on. The main reason why they did not go on the user data gathering/selling is mainly incompetence. They were just so far back in terms of user tracking that they just went 'fuck it, we'll consider this a feature now'.

Also, let's not forget they are part of PRISM (which they lied about).

Just wait for iphones to start declining in sales (and they will) and have the privacy talk again.
> But switching to new measures to validate your preconceived gut feeling is fraught with peril.

This was explored, but most of the article was about enhancing existing stats:

> She argues — rightly, I think — that the government should not focus on creating wholly new statistics. It should instead change and expand the ones that are already followed closely.

This is basically Anscombe's Quartet -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anscombe%27s_quartet -- four completely different sets of points that have the same mean, variance, linear regression, and other stats but plotted out represent drastically different realities.

But instead of abstract datasets, we're saying drastically different underlying economic circumstances for different populations may be reported with the same GDP number.

So a single summary statistic "GDP is up!" without more detailed breakdowns can mean either "everyone is doing better!" or "the investor-class is making bank while everyone else is stagnant or falling behind". The point of the article is one of those seems to explain the populist anger, and our focus on the single summary statistic creates cognitive dissonance and makes the problem worse when people say to themselves "hey, this shit doesn't match what I'm struggling with everyday."

Nice job Brett. Logged in just to make a suggestion. If you haven't considered the enterprise angle - I can see this being useful in creating enterprise video content. Specifically for making e-learning content and such similar things. You don't know how much this space lacks in proper tooling. Having said that, I can see some challenges if you have considered or are considering. I can shed some light if you like. Or if not, best of luck =) Useful!
iOS is closed source, yes. From my perspective, so is every other mobile OS.

I'm not going to take on the effort involved in manually installing my own firmware that'd been built from verified sources. You could argue that's simple laziness on my part, but, for the fast majority of people, they simply lack the ability to do otherwise. So, while I can read some version of the Android source code, I still can't be sure of exactly what code is actually running on my device. I have to place some trust in the vendor.

So, who would I rather trust: The company that took the risk of publicly standing up to the US Government over a privacy issue where even public opinion was at best only arguably on their side, and that boots 3rd parties off of its platform if they're caught trying to siphon users data without permission? Or the company that happily collaborates with surveillance states, makes most its revenue by engaging in surveillance capitalism, and encourages other companies to do the same?

That said, if anyone wants to see about bringing FirefoxOS back to life, that'd be cool.

Is it though? Is there any reason to believe that a significant amount of people buy Apple products because they believe it to be more private?

My impression is that the vast majority of users don't care about privacy - no matter how much privacy apple adds to their product, it's becomes moot the moment you are active from facebook, or use google products - which practically everyone does.
There were free school lunches/breakfast and Aid for Dependent Children 30 years ago... those haven't gone away or improved. If anything welfare reform in the 90s reduced low income food security. Maybe you're talking about student loans, but that seems to make the problem worse since the unemployment rate is still higher into the 25 range where they should be getting jobs from their education.

It was common for 12-18yr olds to work part time at groceries, fast food, retail, theaters, delivery to earn gas money or save for a car or college/trade. That is largely gone. Those jobs seem to have been taken by desperate adults and seniors.

> If everyone is rich, prices just rise to the point where everyone isn't rich anymore.

Rich and poor are always tied to purchasing power which itself is tied to productivity, efficiency and innovation within an economy. (as well as the traditional price theory, demand/supply, etc.) I used rich/poor because those are simple terms everyone can understand more easily than PPP or Genuine Savings, etc. (however, wealth is a better term I should have probably used in its stead)

For instance, the phone you can buy and hold in your hand today for $200 is vastly more powerful than the most expensive IBM mainframes of just 20 years ago - A CEO of those times could not even afford the simple phone many refuges have in their Rucksacks these days. Are they rich because of this? It depends on what particular measurement for "rich" you are using.

To answer your question. Yes, ceteris peribus if everyone gets more money instantly (i.e. money supply increases) all prices will rise accordingly and there is a net null effect, however, and this is key, if that increase is in wealth i.e. capital assets, productivity, everyone is better off and prices will increase according to traditional demand-pull.
This will offend most graphic designers out there, but could you make the landing and search results page a simple and bare bones as possible, with no javascript, no animations, and no dynamic loading of content?

I think the thing you should be targeting here is getting the website and initial results to load in a single TCP packet. Because right now it doesn't feel like google. It feels like bing. (Except that somehow bing loads faster than qwant, maybe due to better CDS?)
There's some more nuance here than "urban-jungle" vs "suburbia".

It is totally possible to live in a walkable area with urban amenities without being inside a dense mega-city. These used to be called "street-car" suburbs-- urban nucleations that exist just outside of the central business districts of medium-to-large cities. They're sort of like cities unto themselves. They're sometimes referred to as "main-street" communities.

Lots of people live in such places and don't realize it or they've managed to give too much away for automobile infrastructure to notice that, YES, it is possible to live such that not every trip necessarily begins and ends with an automobile in a parking space. This can be done in many places _without_ moving to NYC/SF/Chicago.

How much house one needs (if any) is a lifestyle decision that can fluctuate over time. People can adapt. It starts with demanding things like "complete streets" (https://smartgrowthamerica.org/program/national-complete-str...), walkability as a target in new developments and intelligent requirements for parking so that we don't end up with "ocean-of-asphalt" parking lots.
