Obviously, the reason why "maker spaces" lack proper SMT pick n' place, solder mask applicator and other machinery is that it is all quite expensive if it is up to recent specs and maintained. It's also a low margin specialty, so it would be likely that subscribing to a "SMT Makerspace" would be more expensive than just doing business with a proper assembly house.

Even professional electrical engineering shops rarely build their own stuff anymore - specialized assembly houses do the work.

This is the flip side of efficiency achieved through specialization - most pro hardware "STEM" jobs consist of manipulating computer files in various formats and passing the buck to some stranger to do the actual construction. Unfortunately, this leaves a pretty big monetary gap between "circuit stuff as a hobby" and "I want to make a serious product using the best technologies available"

In the 1970's crime spike in many American cities, and the 'burbs' became a real aspiration. The middle class simply moved out.

American cities have mostly 'business cores' anyhow, with big banking buildings, not like in Europe where they're pedestrian and have homes.

In some cities, there's been a renaissance of urban living and people moving back in since the 2000's, but it depends on the city.

My guess is that 80% of what's going on here is just that: demographic migration.

What we need is greater Chicago data and probably statewide as well.

I suspect you'll find the 'exaburbs' doing really well.

But, I am curious, if I use a complex formula in my mind to create passwords that are unique to every website I visit, and I store those in Chrome am I not safe? The only problem I see is that I do not update passwords regularly.
This is such an unhelpful answer that it almost always worthless. The utility of social networks for contact is unmatched. One profile, ideally locked down how you see fit, that follows you for as long as you allow it to follow you. The response to this is usually that there nothing wrong with phone numbers or email addresses. Except there are.

Phone numbers change. This is less frequent now that we have mobile numbers, but they still change. Email addresses can also change as people move through different phases of life. Hell, email seems to be becoming unreliable as calling since unsubscribing from mailing lists you never joined doesn't seem to work any more.

How is the middle class in the US in general? This is completely anecdotal and based on random strangers on the internet, so it may be wrong, but Americans seem more careful with their money today than they did 15 years ago.

I buy a lot of board games, and I’ve noticed how discussions on $100 kickstarters have started being about how it could break someone’s budget. I’m personally part of the Scandinavian middle class, and a hall mark of that, is that you can spend $100 on something silly and not worry about it.

It’s extremely poor data of course, but it’s something I just never saw 15 years ago.
> the obvious fallacy of the "right to protect yourself". If having that right actually results in being more likely to be harmed, or harm someone else, having that right is an unacceptable public safety risk.

I disagree. I understand that the divorced female across the street has a higher chance to harm someone else because she has the right to own weapons - that does not make is unacceptable.

I would like to see increased access to instruction / training on safely using any weapons one may choose to have available, so that there is less chance of collateral damage, not restrictions on her rights to use them.

The same could be said of free speech. I do not want other people's ability to speak to be restricted, even though I am aware of the possible harms. Instead I want more education for people to know who to research facts and find other opinions.

> Guns are quite obviously a significant risk to public safety, as the murder statistics demonstrate.

I do not think this is true. I'd like to see some stats that show how many people are killed by guns that are not involved in illegal activities (and suicides), gun deaths in the circles of drug dealers, gangs and other illicit activities should not so much in the stats of risk to public safety imho.

car crashes, cell phone use, and hospitals likely contribute to more deaths than guns yet we don't rush to ban them - and yet access to those things are not 'rights'

Agree. Consider the situation of data entry professionals, those people who transcribe audio recordings or enter data into databases.

If you have one person entering data into a computer, then the odds of them introducing an error and failing to spot it are fairly high.

If you have twice as many people entering twice as much data data, then the odds of an error getting introduced are roughly doubled.

However, if you have those two people entering the same data, then their mistakes cancel each other out. If person A and person B both entered the same thing, it's extremely unlikely that it's incorrect. If they differ though, the a problem has been identified, and can now be fixed.

The odds of both of those people entering the same piece of data incorrectly is tiny. Likewise, accidentally introducing a bug into both the production code and the test is pretty unlikely.

That said though, if those two theoretical data entry people above are given the wrong data to enter, then they the system cannot protect them. They will both correctly enter incorrect data. "Garbage in, garbage out".

Likewise, if the requirements of a piece of software are poorly understood, then it is quite likely that both the test and the production code will implement the same "bug". Writing tests won't fix a failure to understand the problem you're trying to solve. And they're not supposed to.

Testing for regressions is a a valuable thing to do, but your point is also valid. We can prove that it is impossible to test every scenario in general (for example, does this program end ;-) ). In my mind, unit tests exist for documenting what the code is doing now -- not to determine if it is correct (acceptance tests are different). Your goal for a unit test is to have it fail when the behaviour of the production code fails. This way you can verify that the changes you are making are having the effect you expected. Similarly, you can be warned when changes you make affect part of the code you didn't expect to be affected.

Of course, you will never get full coverage, but tests are a programmer's tool. It allows you to reduce the amount of time you spend inspecting parts of the code you aren't working on. For example, when I'm writing code with good test coverage, I can find out what happens if I change an attribute in a structure simply by doing it and watching the tests fail. Each failure tells me where in the code I'm likely to have to make a change.

If you make a small viewpoint change that tests are not to find bugs, but rather are a tool to help you understand the code base, they make a lot more sense. (IMHO)
> A city census tract was considered “middle income” if its average per capita income fell between 80 and 120 percent of the metro-wide average for that year

The "middle class" term should be replaced in our language with something more concrete. It's not even a class after all. It's just an arbitrary label that doesn't have any useful meaning.
Pretty obvious. I mean, they give lithium to crazy people to calm them down.

Democracy has a critical feature: it has a built-in method of nonviolent political succession which has been the norm in other regimes which don't plan for change (resulting in revolution, coup d'etats, etc). There will inevitably come a time where this is a useful feature again, and hopefully they manage to graft it in before it's too late.

One of the key balances we have to have with big data is to not let our personal biases and hubris blind us to believe in incomplete formulas/solutions simply because it follows our preconceived notion of ourselves, the tool (big data in this case), etc.

I really like your summary of the situation. I'd add that the author seems to have tried to fix a functional readability problem with OO techniques, ending up with the same kingdom of nouns problem - the worst of both worlds.

I think the functional solution would be to separate increment and transform: Stream.iterate(0, i -> i + 1).map(i -> new Pair(i, Math.Pow(i, 2));
I thought that stephen (freakenomics) Levitt has shown (innhis own research) that this result was insufficient to explain the 1990s crime drop - his theory that he says fit the data was the Supreme court decision allowing abortion (Roe v wade) - in other words the teenage criminals of 1990 simply did not get born
> What are the economic characteristics that make Kraft a good business?
WB: Most big food businesses are good businesses in that they earn good returns on tangible assets. If you own important branded assets in this country, and you have good assets, it is not easy to take on those products. Just imagine Coca-Cola. They sell 1.5 billion servings every day. It has been in everyone’s mind since 1886—associated with good value, happiness and refreshment. It is virtually impossible to take it on in a huge way. It may not be the same with Kraft. Kool-Aid, but I’m not sure I want to take on Kool-Aid. To implant RC Cola in people’s minds globally is very, very difficult. A brand is a promise. Coca-Cola delivers something to you. Virgin Cola — an unusual promise in a product—tried and couldn’t figure it out. Whatever it was, it didn’t work. Don Keough would know. Who would buy a can for two-cents-a-can less than Coca-Cola? We feel pretty good about branded products if they’re leaders in their field. There is nothing unusual about Kraft that’s different from Kellogg. Some good factors are price. If you don’t pay too much, you will do okay. But you won’t get superrich, as the attributes [of a strong brand] are well recognized.

He was very wrong on this. Kraft just wrote-down $15 billion. Their brands have lost their "cachet." Nobody wants them nor needs them -- you're either buying a gourmet, healthy version (i.e. real cheese instead of the plastic block Velveeta) or a store's private label.

Police and for that matter anyone in law enforcement are trained to draw and aim only when they intent to use the gun. Using a gun for anything other than shooting is how you either escalate a situation or how people are (too often) shot with their own guns. It is also a felony to use a gun as a threat or coercive tool, and it’s called ‘Brandishing’. Police don’t threaten with a gun outside of Hollywood. They offer a verbal warning, and if you don’t comply (and sometimes if you do) they will fire.

You never draw your gun unless you intend to use it.

You never point your gun at anything you don’t intend to destroy.

Treat all guns as loaded.

Anyone who hasn’t had that drilled into them has no business owning a firearm of any kind. Such a person is most likely to hurt themselves or someone else, or have their gun taken from them and used against them.

>If the modern day poor are living an equivalent life style to the middle class from 50 years ago is that really a problem?

If the middle class have largely collapsed into the poor, and the poor now live as the middle class did - that implies that for the formerly middle class there has been no growth in fifty years.
> what would really change if we removed the CEO and replaced him with the Janitor?

I think this reads rather more out of the conclusion than the data can bear. It's possible (though I don't think plausible) that it's true, but the data is only based on people who were selected to run companies i.e. people who those doing the hiring saw to be a good fit. It says nothing about being run by a random person off the street, for which there is necessarily no data.

I've got a very keen eye on that project as it develops.

One thing I do think is: It feels like we should be looking at this a bit more general, and saying things like "I need a Queue" not "I need an SQS Queue", allowing the operators to bind the Queue generic to an SQS queue on the backend, then using the application-facing spec to assert things like "it has to be FIFO, it has to guarantee exactly once delivery" etc. And if the backend cloud resource provider that is configured can't meet the requested spec, we get an error.

I don't know for sure if this would be better or worse. But for some generic cloud resources, like Object Buckets, Queues, PubSub, or SQL Databases, we can arrive at a commonly accepted set of generic abstract qualities that an Exemplary implementation of a system which says its a "Thing" should assert (ex: with Object Buckets, characteristics like regional redundancy, consistency, lifetime policies, immutable object locking, etc).

The interesting thing there is that now you've got a common base API for, well, common things that any application would need. Open source projects could flourish around saying "Check out NewProjectX, its a Kubernetes-compliant Object Storage provider". The backend doesn't have to be a cloud provider; it could run right on the cluster or on a different machine you own, just like how load balancers can work (see: MetalLB).

Obviously I don't expect AWS to publish an API that divorces the implementation from the spec, but I think we should think about it as a community. And also, not every cloud resource the Big 3 provide would make sense to be "more generic"; for example, having a generic "NoSQL Database" provider is far too implementation specific to account for all the differences between, say, Dynamo and Firestore. So the work AWS is doing on that project is ultimately valuable.
I don't understand where you're asserting the article says that. The fact that neighborhoods whose per capita income was around the middle in 1970 are in the lower quintiles now does not mean that the 1970 middle class and the 2017 lower class have "equivalent lifestyles." It means the neighborhoods are poorer.
yup I think that's something I'd actually call a true lifehack!

but that being said, it would be really interesting to see how a development like this could influence the nation wide development of cannabis legislation, especially down here in the Bible belt. granted I don't think it'll necessarily have a huge impact but i think having a cheap and efficient source of cannabinoids equalizing the market value and providing a larger pool to experiment upon to help support the idea of cannabis legalization

but hey even if not it's cool to see what we can hack nature to do!
I am unsure that my rant above was helpful - I needed to seperate "why don't I get the cash" from "is this an indicator of something important"

So I think my main question is, is software eating so many jobs that it is reasonable for a "mid level" software dev to capture so much of the cash, or is this a function of specific tech firm structures (SV scarcity, amazing stock options right now, etc)

Looking at the levels.io site it indicates that there is a massive FAANG/ non Faang gap - so I think the later might be accurate.
