No, they weren't proven false, it's just that the effects of automation aren't felt evenly across the whole population at once. If you aren't in the groups it was affecting, you likely didn't see it beyond a newspaper article here and there, and maybe it didn't really register. There are entire towns filled with people who are suffering from poverty and all its knock-on effects because they were single-industry towns and that industry went through automation that eliminated those jobs en masse.

Everyone always says that these people are just suffering from a skills shortage and need to retrain into a different career and move to where the jobs are. But which careers should they choose to retrain into? Retraining represents several years of time investment and at least tens of thousands of dollars in money investment, money which they don't even have in the bank, so choosing wrong will often be the last nail in the coffin. When I was entering school I was told that going into CS was too risky because everyone was offshoring these days. Instead the most recommended "safe" jobs were: lawyer, pharmacist, welder. Of those three choices, only one was still in demand by the time the entering cohort had graduated. The other two had such a glut of entering workers that many new grads were being advised to retrain again. When industry demand is changing faster than people can reasonably retrain and pay off their student loans, "skills shortage" is just another way to say "let them eat cake", and the pace of automation is absolutely contributing to this issue.

>>No, they don't.

Now you admit that they do. So you're resorting to misleading rhetoric to try to blunt the common sense argument I'm making, which is that in a free society, no one has a moral right to tell someone else how they can spend their money.

People should have more humility, and not assume their understanding of the world is so far superior to the common man's that they have a right to exert their will on the common man. The call for these types of regulatory restrictions appeals to shallow unthinking narcissism, and nothing more, which is why it needs to be supported with inappropriate and inflammatory comparisons to selling yourself into slavery.

Have you actually tried it? It’s mind blowing. Way better than I ever expected it’d be. To be fair, I haven’t tried any other AR system.
Cynical, or wrong? There's a clear history of women in software engineering when it was considered a low-class low-skill job. The first "programmers" in the modern sense of the word were women at NASA. The lead software developer for Apollo 11 was a woman. There's so much evidence to suggest that there is far more at play here than simply "engineering is laborious and dry [so women must not want to do the work]" that I'm willing to state it falls under wikipedia's citing rules for globally known knowledge: I don't need to cite that the capital of France is Paris any more than I need to cite this.

This is the same line of already-refuted reasoning behind the "I'm just asking questions" in the infamous Google Memo.

To answer my original, rhetorical, question: It's not cynical. It's wrong.
True. I'm also guessing this number changes a lot with stock grants (that number was just base pay), and that yearly number seems pretty low (NYT has the entry level engineer at 124,000
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/technology/google-salarie...) so glassdoor might not have good data.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was much more than 6%.
I assume that when you say 'virtually none', you are aware that more than 50% of the dot-nl domains (so around 3 million) are DNSSEC signed. Furthermore, more 60% of the DNS queries that reach the servers for the dot-nl zone are from validating resolvers.
I'd just like to add, most engineers aren't writing data structures all day. There are certainly some sharp corners, some of these Rust will help you with though: re: multithreaded algorithms. Robust libraries are helpful also.
"What is the evidence that the source data for this 'AI' is biased because the men it came from did not want to hire women?"

Nobody is saying that the biases was caused because it was created by men who didn't want to hire women. That's a fear-mongering straw man.

What people are saying is that there was bias in the training data selected, and so the algorithm exacerbated that bias. Thus, being a cautionary tale about the training data you feed to these things.

" If there was an untapped market of engineers you'd better believe every tech company would be taking advantage of it."

You're assuming rationality where there really is no cause to do so.

Could one invent an ad-hoc REST API to perform joins, apply parameters and so forth? Of course. That's what people have been doing. That means every solution is ad-hoc. People get tired of this.

Have you tried any of the GraphQL client tools? You can literally point a client at an arbitrary server and not only see its schema, but also interact with the API. REST doesn't give you that, because the authors of REST neglected to actually specify anything beyond some fuzzy principles.

> ??? The component doesn't know anything, components don't think.

This is being obtuse. You know perfectly well what I meant: That the component localizes the information needed to make an informed request. This is domain knowledge encoded in the component.

This is contrary to how most developers design clients, where they might call an endpoint such as /posts?limit=10, which happens to fetch all attributes, even if the component doesn't actually need all the attributes.

> You've lost me here. The excerpt you've posted looks even worse than SQL.

Before a summary (and, honestly, tone deaf) dismissal such as this, I recommend reading up on it a bit [1], and maybe trying it out. SQL is great, but it does not handle nested documents/relationships, so you end up with a lot of messy structural mapping between flat relational data and structured data, which is why projects like Rails/ActiveRecord and Hibernate are so popular.

For example, a query such as this:

*{
name,
photos->{ url },
friends->{ name }
}

will return something like:

[
{
"name": "Bob",
"photos": [
{"url": "http://..."},
{"url": "http://..."}
],
"friends": [
{"name": "Jane"}
]
},
...
]

The point isn't that you cannot, with a sufficiently complex ORM and enough elbow grease, do that with SQL. It's that it should be unnecessary, because developers shouldn't need to write an entire data layer every time they want to bring an app up. This is part of what GraphQL brings to the table, too.

Ask HN: name@a.com and name+1@a.com should be considered 2 different accounts?
assuming your websites has a sign-up and you provide some free credit/usage for each new sign ups.

In gmail and GSuite accounts (not sure if other email services does the same) you can do the +1 trick.

Add +N after your username and receive the email in the same sandbox (which is actually useful in many cases).

The point is, knowing that, do you consider

user@gmail
user+1@gmail
user+2@gmail
user+3@gmail
user+4@gmail
user+5@gmail

as 6 different and unrelated accounts in your db?

it is fair to _regex_ the email and remove the +1 trick?

> You need to have a commissary kitchen where all the food is actually made in order to be in compliance

Do you have a source for this so I can clarify my understanding? I thought that Chicago was somewhat infamous until recently for being the only major city in the US that didn't allow food trucks to cook on board.

Note that requiring that a truck have a commissary is not the same as mandating that all cooking happen there. The common requirement to have a commissary is so inspectors know where to find trucks, presumably.

I would guess that they do something similar to Facebook.

Ars covered what Facebook do about 6 years ago, and even then I think they'd been using it for a few years:

I believe Twitter does something similar too.
But the other main point of having a food truck is to avoid all sorts of regulations on food safety, hygiene, waste disposal, etc. (which is why they are also known as "roach coaches"). So yes, those ordinances do largely defeat the purpose of food trucks.

I think we're definitely looking at, at the minimum, another day off the working week - similar to the shift from the early 20th century from 6 to 5 days, as combine harvesters triggered a movement of something like 90% of agricultural workers into cities.

Beyond that, it's hard to say. There is lots of work that needs to be done - picking up plastics anybody? - but the money is in the wrong places to pay for it, and at some point the flows in the system become so disrupted by wealth accumulation, that the only solutions is to press the reset button in any case.

...such interesting, interesting times.
Sort-of.

Per my reading of it, they used only one measure, the NAEP. The GP mentions a paper that used the ACT as a guide. In the least, we should resolve the difference between the NAEP and the ACT, if there is any. But, like the SAT or College Acceptance rates, those are just a few measures. Achievement is not easy to define in this context, let alone measure. All the test scores are just proxies for 'achievement' as a general term. Should we measure household income at the 10yr post mark too, College graduation rate, number of pregnancies, marathon runners? It's all just a proxy in the end for trying to determine, in granular detail, if education is worth spending tax money on.
>they shouldn't be subject to competition that can operate with far lower costs / standards.

Of course they should. There is no assurances or guarantees that any business venture is going to be successful.

If you're running a mexican restaurant that goes out of business because of a taco truck, the answer isn't to outlaw taco trucks, it's to make your own restaurant better.

If you can't change your restaurant and you go out of business isn't it your fault for not adapting to customer tastes and preferences, not the taco trucks fault because it was able to satiate customer needs?
CVE-2018-8493 – Windows TCP/IP Information Disclosure Vulnerability
> If the UK had really wanted to keep Hong Kong, could it have militarily defended it?

The Chinese would not have to have fired a shot to make HK surrender. HK was then a city with more than 6 million citizens, which was entirely dependent on water imported from the mainland. The treaty that allowed the importation of all that water was only set until the end of the lease, and the Chinese very clearly stated that they had no interest in extending it.

Also, earlier when HK expressed some interest in investing into desalinization, the Chinese threatened to immediately cut off the water supply if it seemed like the HK local government would have actually tried to build up enough water resources to make them not dependent on the mainland.

The result of shutting down the taps would have been millions dead within a week. Keeping HK British would have required a massive invasion of China by the UK, just to secure water. I don't see that as very likely.
Whoever does handles PR/brand image for Tesla must have stomach ulcers at this point. The amount of ire (whether potential or real) drawn in the last ~1 year is insane:

- Elon makes false accusations

- Elon says dumb thing about going private

- Elon smokes weed on a podcast (this is a +/don't care for me but I imagine not for Tesla's entire audience)

- Elon lets slip that the Saudis are where the money might have come from

- James Murdoch (that Murdoch, which generally people don't know or hate) might replace Musk on the board of Tesla

- Near constant questioning of company finances and viability

Before this year, Tesla was basically an awesome, expensive, trendy, and progressive car company that by and large people (those who can afford one, those who build them, those who love the planet, those who like high performance cars) loved --

Because wages are a small part of the total compensation package - leaving out bonuses, health, dental, vision insurance policies, 401k (with matching), employee stock purchase plans, stock options or stock units awards, access to food and on-site services, company cars, etc.

They’re also not stagnant https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/wage-growth
Anecdotally, the answer is: In an overwhelming majority of the cases, not much.

It seems as engineers/programmers/etc are generally looked down upon by many in marketing, sales, and various management position regarding their ability to understand how a company should be "run", down to trivial things like how to plan an office space.

I don't have much issue with open office spaces, at least not well designed ones, but many engineers do, and all those engineers are demonstrably more productive in a space adapted to their work habitat preferences. And still, even where office space costs are a fraction of the costs, you see terrible open spaces.
Almost always against the entire engineering departments wishes.

It almost has to be some sort of culture thing, as I've seen first hand how common engineering values such as openness, a relative objectivity, clarity of vision/direction, etc works when actually applied. They work amazing!

It was at this company, one that during the dotcom craze managed to retain engineers 3 times longer than the industry average. They constantly hit their deadlines, customer trust was sky high. All this with good velocity while having a technically very advanced product.

If I would name one thing that might have been the sauce that made it possible: You could not become a manager, go into sales without working 1st line support some amount of time until you knew the product(s)

I don't understand exactly why that seemed to have such a staggering effect, if it indeed was the cause, but I've never ever seen an org run even nearly as smooth as that one!

Maybe it helped people at all levels to understand intuitively, that a bold claim in a meeting room, doesn't fix the customer issues? Only a lot of hard work does.

You start looking in different places for your applicants.
I know this paper well (and the larger point being made in the paper; I have seen Dr. Gal present on it in seminars). I think the point he is trying to make is that what we really need for understanding of human behavior is good psychological theory of how humans operate. In many cases (loss aversion being one of them, per Dr. Gal), behavioral economics describes the data, but does not provide a deeper analysis of why the data are the way they are (that is, why the humans being studied acted as they did). Of course not true of all behavioral economics, but some of it.

These stories become like memes that get reposted over and over.

There was a "study" about drug testing welfare applicants in Florida a few years ago where the authors claimed that it only caught a handful of people and cost more than the money saved.

I looked up the numbers and found that applications took a historic plunge when the law went into effect, and an equally large increase after the law was suspended. It was a huge multi-stage funnel where the study only looked at one stage after thousands of applicants had already self-selected for drug-freeness. Applications went down by thousands, and payouts by millions.

Basically if you hired a data scientist who told you this about some funnel you were analyzing, like a purchase or sign-up flow, you would fire this person within five minutes. But people repeated this gotcha story everywhere.

A reasonable assumption but, in practice, false. Many companies believe (perhaps correctly) that their hiring system is good.

I think this attitude is the key problem: fuck blame. Seriously, who cares? There absolutely are concrete things we can do about healthcare and climate change and so on, but not if we collectively think that blaming this or that institution is going to motivate people to fix the problem.

I first learned to program 35 years ago. It wasn't fundamentally different then. Hell, we still use programming languages that were in wide use 35 years ago, like C and the unix shell. The kind of thinking required hasn't changed.

So, based on my 35 years of experience, the conditions and the job are basically the same. So again, I challenge you - how is the job different now?

Most investment opportunities aren't available to the unconnected, even if they have some semblance of wealth (e.g., RSU grants for an employee).

Private investment opportunities seems to only flow from the connected to their friends. I wish this weren't the case. I wish that even a small time investor (in the order of 1k-10k) can participate in these private deals that often payout with 10%-20%/p.a, but other than govt regulations, the biggest barrier is knowing they exist.
Modern societies need to figure out distribution of economic power that isn't based on employment. Of all the things corporations should be held responsible for, directly propping up low-skill labor employment opportunities shouldn't be one of them. Employment and jobs should stop being used as fundamental economic indicators.

The naive approach would be to just increase overall corporate taxes, reduce payroll taxes (so companies are mildly incentivized to pay humans) and more effectively redistribute tax income to society. The problem with this is the geographic inflexibility of this approach, as Amazon could be sucking up tons of resources from Florida and no amount of taxation on Amazon really pays back to Florida.

Surely we can eventually come up with a better system to let companies optimize their business practices (net value++) and redistributing those improvements across society?
