I interpreted it as follows:

If unemployment is indeed down (and he asserts that it is) then the supply of extra workers is down also.

The salaries, following the supply/demand ratio, should be up. And they are not.

Since they're not, the law of supply/demand dictating 'prices' does not work for worker's compensation.

Yes, I'm not talking about the economists. I'm talking about the media and the politicians. How much do we hear about the need to improve productivity in the mainstream media? That's really the key to prosperity.

Also, if you talk about the inflation adjusted income, it has been steadily increasing since 2012:

The median income in the US now is higher than most European countries including Sweden, Denmark, and Germany.
Yes, reads are not released (i.e. are blocked) until sealing is complete. We call the minimal set of nodes sufficient to serve reads for a log (the same set is needed for sealing to complete) an f-majority.

For a simple case where placement of data is location-agnostic, indeed the definition of f-majority is n - r + 1, where n is the nodeset size, and r is the replication factor.

However, if your replication property, is say, "place 3 copies across 3 racks", then the definition of f-majority becomes more complicated - e.g. having all nodes in the nodeset respond minus two racks will also satisfy it.
A lot of the comments here seem to assume that a person has only one given name. Where I come from that is almost unheard of, most people have at least two, and this means that the person can choose which one to be known by. My wife used her middle name.
I don’t know much about autism, but as someone who was recently diagnosed with ADHD in his late 20s and recently going in medication, I’ve noticed that I’m less bothered by sounds and smells than usual. Does autism have any relation to ADHD?
Ah yes of course. There is some interesting research into the benefits of Dihydrogen Monoxide with Hydroxyl Acid extracts, zero calories and can help extend a fast for days. Patent pending.
The BBC comes to mind, although they're not a perfect example. They have a mandate to present both sides of an argument (hence Nigel Farage got so much airtime in the run-up to the EU referendum).

That said, ask anyone in the UK and they'll always tell you that the BBC is "biased" against one group or another, so the way they actually present those arguments varies. But at least they get a mention.
They actually did. Some family members lived there thru previous system and praised it many times. The current regime is a joke but the previous one (even more horrible) cared only about collecting taxes. New system dont care up to the point you go to jail, no big deal to “it”; in USSR the whole concept was of a working unit. Unity in strength of every individual working. You cant work when you behind bars. They once had supervisor fired on spot because indeed he was explaining tax related problem wrong.
>No, U-3 is not misleading.

The U-3 is exactly what it's defined as. In that sense, it isn't misleading.

It is misleading in the sense that it does not capture what unemployment actually is as it's a very narrow definition of unemployment.

>Given that EU wages have increased much more than US wages we can conclude that unemployment has very little to do with wage increases.

We can conclude from this that it may not be the only factor affecting wages, though I never made that claim to begin with.
>I think they’re always late and the inevitable bailouts inevitably hurt the wage earners

It's pretty obvious that you don't actually know what you're talking about. Inflation has been pretty much under control for the past few years, and it's projected to go down slightly over the next few years.

I'm really confused why you're talking about leverage or bailouts at all. Downturns in 'hot' economies tend to be caused by demand-pull inflation, which is exactly what the fed is managing, as discussed in the OP's article.

Your discussion of leverage is not related to this situation at all. Leverage isn't based on growth, and doesn't require growth to service. The risk of a 'cascading default' is based primarily on the leverage ratios of large financial institutions. Those ratios were reformed from the ground up recently, and there's no indication that there's anything wrong with them. It's really quite hard to have this discussion with you, because you're talking about a few different unrelated topics, which you appear to not really understand at all.

For all you non-swedes out there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellman_joke

As an example:

A Russian, a German and Bellman were bragging about their football skills.

- I once kicked a football over a flag pole, the russian said

- What did you get for that?, the others asked

- Bronze.

- Well, I once kicked a football over a 4 story building, the German said

- What did you get for that feat?, the others asked.

- Silver.

Bellman was not so easily trumped, though

- I once kicked a brick over a skyscraper, he said.

- Wow! What did you get?! the others asked

- A broken foot.

I feel many jump to judge Linus as a brilliant asshole too quickly. He obviously has charisma and great leadership qualities. In addition he is blunt and speaks his mind, also when he is emotional and maybe irrational.

I feel assholes are people who make decisions and take actions ruthlessly. I've not seen Linus do that, though perhaps I missed it.

edit: hey Chris! Love your work :D I don't think Linux would have been as successful under his leadership if he went around insulting people like that everyday. So I still think he has charisma even if he gets ugly every now and then.
Well, the fast lasted for 72 hours, but it's important to note that the subjects were lab mice, not humans.

From the paper:

Mice strains

C57BL/6J mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. All mice were housed in temperature-controlled rooms with a 12 h light-dark cycle and given free access to water and food. After starvation for 5 h, 8 weeks-old male mice were injected intraperitoneally with PBS, β-HB, or S-β-HB (1.5 g/kg body weight in PBS). In parallel, 8 weeks-old male mice were randomized and fed a regular chow diet or fasted for 72 h. Then, the mice were sacrificed. Tissues were collected for gene expression evaluation in various organs including the aorta, liver, heart, brain, adipose, and kidney (n = 6). All animal protocols were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Georgia State University.

https://www.cell.com/molecular-cell/fulltext/S1097-2765(18)3...

Also note the slightly confusing setup of the study. Some mice were first fasted for a short time (5 hours) then injected with the tested molecules. Then a different batch of mice were fasted for a longer period of time (72 hours). The second batch where tested blindly and at random, the first one where not. To me, that sounds very strange, but I'm not a biologist, so.
How can you say that these aren't currency dependent? If the US dollar was 10 times stronger you could buy 10 times more food. If the prices stayed the same you'd see a surge in imports. When imported products are cheaper everything becomes cheaper, it might just take some time.
Nice! I've been using this for a few days now and it's really been helping me! The "activities" feature has been helping me get more active during long periods at the computer.
A law is a universal truth. If you find that empirical evidence disproves it, clearly it is not universal, and you cannot call it a law without suffixing it with exceptions.

Following from this, supply and demand is a tendency, not a law.

That relies on a rather specific definition of knowledge. Thomas Sowell has done a lot of good writing on these topics: the nature and varying definitions of knowledge, the role of academics and intellectuals, etc. It's ironic because he doesn't like them much despite being one himself.

Conservatives tend to place more emphasis on earned experience than liberals do. Experience and "book knowledge" are both different aspects of the concept of knowledge, but it's certainly untrue that universities teach everything that could be called knowledge. Indeed they're famous for not doing so, hence the fact that "it's academic" is an insult not a compliment.

Whether this means conservatives value experience more than book knowledge is unclear, it may be that they consider both important whereas liberals consider experience relatively unimportant and thus cluster in academia.

>Also just noticed that even in the toggle example on the home page "natural" symbol is missing (flat/sharp reset).

Yes. But, also from the toggle example, you can notice that each note that is sharp or flat (even if that is part of the key) is individually indicated. Thus, there is no need to keep track of the "state" of sharpness or flatness.

I think this is kind of cool but I would need some time to learn it. Not that I've found traditional notation ever constraining.

The likes of Zuckerberg and Bezos have far more power, influence and money than they could ever get by being president. What would be their motivation?

I'd argue "prestige" but given some previous (and current) holders of the position I don't think that's the case either.
This is a problem math majors have with pretty much every other science out there. You can rank them if you like, and there are parts that are better and worse (in economics you have game theory, which I'm sure you're not going to find too ideological, and you have experimental economics ... which is little better than social sciences).

It's much easier to get worldly facts like this right

I don’t disagree with this simple statement per se but I disagree with its implications.

You can still paint a false picture by choosing which facts to report and which to ignore. I see it every day in the gym with one television that plays CNN next to one that plays Fox News. Watching the TV on the left gives me the impression Trump is a hooligan constantly on the verge of being impeached. The TV on the right tells me the economy is roaring and everything is great.
Your mission is to destroy each invading Frequons by moving the cursor on top of it. What could be easier? Except for one itty bitty detail: the Frequons are not displayed in the usual spatial domain, but in the Fourier Domain. Frequons look like colored waves. Your "self" is a wave too, with opposite polarity. Instead of manipulating some local point on the screen, you manipulate a global wave pattern. You destroy Frequons by achieving destructive interference with them.
It certainly wouldn't beat a spiral-shaped forest.
You can reach ketosis without fasting, it's worrying that both this article and it's source are not really clear on the methodology.

This the actual source:

"Here we report that β-HB promotes vascular cell quiescence, which significantly inhibits both stress-induced premature senescence and replicative senescence through p53-independent mechanisms.

Further, we identify heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) as a direct binding target of β-HB. β-HB binding to hnRNP A1 markedly enhances hnRNP A1 binding with Octamer-binding transcriptional factor (Oct) 4 mRNA, which stabilizes Oct4 mRNA and Oct4 expression. Oct4 increases Lamin B1, a key factor against DNA damage-induced senescence.

Finally, fasting and intraperitoneal injection of β-HB upregulate Oct4 and Lamin B1 in both vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells in mice in vivo. We conclude that β-HB exerts anti-aging effects in vascular cells by upregulating an hnRNP A1-induced Oct4-mediated Lamin B1 pathway."

It's about what each of these statistics measure.

As another user mentioned, the U3 is a very narrow definition that is largely useful for measuring the cost of unemployment benefits, it does not give a true idea of the real unemployment rate.

This article goes into the differences and their relevance

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/080415/true-...

>The U-3 unemployment rate is a comparatively narrow technical measure that leaves out a whole swath of out-of-work people who are willing and able to take a job but who don't fit the narrow BLS definition of "unemployed." For example, a stonemason who wants to work but who has become discouraged by a lack of opportunity in the midst of a deep economic recession would not be included in U-3 unemployment. A marketing executive who is laid off at age 57 and stops scheduling new job interviews due to her experience of age discrimination would not be included in U-3 unemployment. A person who only works one six-hour shift per week because no full-time jobs are available in his area would not be included in U-3 unemployment.
She is at work so I can't ask her right now. Honest. Realistically she'd probably say that I am more relaxed for more of the time. Which probably makes me less of a jerk.

Your explanation of it relating to emotional maturity doesn't really resonate with me.

I prefer direct, but polite, communication. I've not taken any sort of test to measure my "emotional maturity" but if my career has been any sort of measure I'm reasonably emotionally mature (more years spent in leadership than not, plenty of folks following me from one organization to the next).

My take: I think a lot of this is a cultural thing, particularly relating to showing respect. You either grow up in that sort of culture, or you don't. Or otherwise, you lack the emotional EQ to pick-up up the commonly accepted cultural mores. How do I know this? Share some of your exciting exchanges with friends and family and see how they react.

When I share what I consider to be some of the more abrasive experiences with folks that I grew up (or are otherwise friends outside of the industry) they're always curious how it doesn't come to fisticuffs. We just never talked to one another that way. Where I grew up, it's fucking rude to talk to one another the way Linus and others like him do. Give respect, get respect.

I recently added support for JSON feed in my feed reader and blog. After playing with it for a while, I doubt it will be a wildly supported standard.

- It is really just RSS/Atom wrapped in JSON. Sure it changes a few names, makes some elements mandatory and other elements optional but overall it does not attempt to fix core problems (consistent item IDs to avoid reruns, embedding messy HTML with relative links...).

- Besides a dozen of JSON feeds mentioned in the documentation or in the Github repo, there are very few feeds published in the wild.

- Its authors seem to have kind of given up already, a lot of open issues and PRs but not much happening.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like a successor to come and fix the issues that RSS and Atom have but this successor would need much more traction than what JSON feed has.

Can we update the title to reflect the research by adding "in mice" at the end of it?

The effect of calorie restriction on aging in rodents has been known since the 1930s. Which does not diminish the value of identifying the precise molecule that triggers this, but it does mean that this shouldn't necessarily be used as justification for a fasting diet.

"It has been known since the 1930s that reducing the number of calories fed to laboratory rodents increases their life spans. The life extension varies for each species, but on average there was a 30–40% increase in life span in both mice and rats.[30] In late adulthood, acute CR partially or completely reverses age-related alterations of liver, brain and heart proteins, and mice placed on CR at 19 months of age show an increases in life span.[78] "

i've heard this phrased as something along the lines of "winning solves all problems", which is a double-edged sword.

I know it goes against the HN ethos to just bitch about paywalled articles being shared on the regular, and that upvotes sort it out, and that if they still go to the top is presumably because the core audience already subscribes to these publications. And still, I can't stop myself from wanting to flag all such articles on account of thinking about HN as an open and free site that should allow everyone to consume content equally, without having to resort to these schemes like internet archive, browser extensions and other workarounds.

It is and I hate that movie for it. In theory I should love it, but the disconnect between trying to be realistic and totally ignoring reality, killed it for me. I usually love sci-fi movies, realistic or not. But I mean, if you're going to put so much work into making a main element of the movie seem physically correct and realistic, why wouldn't you put at least a little effort into making the rest of the movie somewhat believable. The movie goes between metaphysical, realistic and action-movie physics every other scene.
You're completely right, sir.
