I lived in "Middle America" and I wouldn't say Chicago is representative of "Middle America" in general? But I only visited Chicago so perhaps someone from there can chime in and correct me.

> Deregulation.

Chicago just doesn't seem like a great bastion of "Deregulation".

It just seems like you are disproving your points here.

Now if we are talking stereotypes, besides deep dish pizza, one thing I think of when I think Chicago is corrupt politicians. The local news stations seems to agree at least:

I've seen it done as a "maximum accrued vacation time" policy. Once you got 30 days accrued, you had to book enough time off to reduce it to less than 30 days within the next three months.

Everybody hated that too. Being forced to take time off when you didn't particularly want to, and not being able to "save up" enough vacation for a really good ling trip away...

And, of course, those rules were regularly "bent" when it suited management, but rigidly enforced otherwise...

(We typically accrue 20 days per year here in .au, so that pretty much means after 18 months, if you haven't taken any vacation at all yet, you need to take at least a week off in the next three months, and a week off every three months thereafter.)
Right, but lithium is perhaps one of the more well-studied psychiatric medications, and the drug with the best evidence for its effects at mood stabilization.

The question, then is different. We know that lithium has certain theraputic effects at 0.6-1.2 mmol/L blood concentrations. In this range, it is a powerful and effective mood stabilizer. What, then, are the effects of lithium at lower concentrations?
First of all, given that we only have a limited sample of the Y-chromosome space, I don't think we can conclude that no native Y-chromosomes actually survived. That aside, it's easy to get selection for specific Y chromosomes without extermination, for example if you have a ruling caste whose males are favored (e.g. by primogeniture) or through preferential mating by lineage. See: the prevalence of the (presumed) Chingisid chromosome here: https://doi.org/10.1086%2F367774
Japan kind of has this. Golden Week in May, Obon in the summer and New Year's leave are all mandatory days off for the vast majority of employees. These are the peak leisure travel times for Japanese people, because everything is closed.

As Japanese workers are famous for not using all their paid leave, and if they do it is in half days here, this is a nationally mandated way to make sure that everyone gets at least a few days off a year.
I certainly agree with you that, on the whole, the US is a far more tolerant country than many of us give it credit for. However, the US was pretty late to the game to abolishing slavery; and it only did so after being dragged kicking and screaming [0]. The south then did everything in its power to resurrect de-facto slavery. And that is just the anti-black racism.

[0] Even the North didn't support abolishing slavery until after the Civil war started, at which point the argument was largely 'we just fought and won a war over this, lets at least get something out of it".

Slavery, Chinese exclusion act, Japanese internment, Jim crow laws, are just some examples of the times public policy was explicitly racist. A bunch more things are implicitly racist, with the war on drugs being one of them (interestingly one of Nixon's aides said that the war on drugs was essentially made to criminalize black people and hippies).

I’m not sure it’s an “issue” but it’s certainly the case that in situations where employees move around on the order of 12 months or so, such policies will tend to reduce salaries a bit.

I’m not against untracked time but it needs to be implemented in concert with hard minimums and a culture that is accepting of people taking time off.

Hmm, following the link to look at more charts of the underlying data I'm confused about how to interpret this.

First, the definition of "middle class" they're using is literally average Chicago income, not fixed to some inflation adjusted amount or compared to the U. S. as a whole. I didn't see at a glance if that average income changed over the time. If the average income rose, but the distribution changed, that's not necessarily the middle class being "almost gone".

Also, there's a lot on uncontrolled confounders here. Age is a big one. It mentions that half of census regions saw their average income decline by 20% but that of those regions the majority of people there are under 19 (!).

So one interpretation of the data could be that the city as a whole got richer but a few small areas stopped having kids.
It's a technical term. It means any kind of cash transfer or social service provided at the taxpayer's expense primarily to assist low income individuals.
So far there have been no evidence that a PAK F16 was downed by IAF, not saying it didn't happen, but Pakistan has denied it and India hasn't supplied any evidences either.

Which is why they need a network of the grids like the local ones in existence today. If you have 10 lines feeding into a mega city from different directions the reserve for a single failure can be lowered to 10%. You can also build pumped water hydro stations, which I don't see how batteries could ever match in capacity or efficiency. Batteries are good for smoothing out spikes but how can they deal with a failure that could take some time to resolve?
I think his view comes from a 'comparables' mindset. If you are to compare everyone else in the economy to entertainers, should they be receiving the multiples that they get? It makes other questions pop-up, for example.

If all the entertainer has to do is to practice and show up for the event, should he be making all of that or should a larger portion be distributed to all the other key variables that make him the center of attention?
sounds great! It is relaxing to read your description as well, which seems like a deep and peaceful state of mind.
> Doesn't Google Voice solve this problem? Or perhaps there are restrictions I don't know about.

Only sort of. I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook rejects Google Voices numbers and will only accept a real-live carrier numbers. It seems pretty easy to do, given how often my GV is rejected by sleezy services I'd like to give a throwaway (e.g. peoplesearch opt-outs).

However, I'm not going to personally test this theory by attempting to give a panopticon like Facebook even my semi-throwaway GV number.

We buy software from a lot of different companies, sometimes we own the codebase but hire software companies to build, expand and maintain it, we also benchmark performance.

We have a lot of data that explicitly shows that automated unit-testing doesn’t work. One good example is one of our ESDH systems, which changed supplier in a bidding war, partly because we wanted higher code-quality.

It’s a two million line project, we paid for 5000 hours worth of refactoring and let the new supplier spend two years getting familiar with it and setting up their advanced testing platforms.

So far we’ve seen some nice performances increases thanks to the refactoring. It has more problems than it did before though, even though everything is tested by unit tests now and it wasn’t before.

We have a lot of stories like this by the way. I don’t think we have a single story where unit-testing actually made the product better, but we do have tested systems where we couldn’t say because they always had unit-testing.

Ironically we still do TDD ourselves on larger projects. Not because we can prove it works, but because everyone expects it.
Presumably you sought out and paid the premium for a highly capable employee because you wanted their above-average capabilities. If they're just going to meet the baseline and go home, the employer is wasting time and money relative to someone cheaper and easier to find.

If the company hired a highly capable employee by accident, or the employee deliberately took a low-salary low-expectation position to "coast" in, then maybe this line of reasoning holds up.

I'm not sure that a cult of process would be desirable - even putting aside irrationality of investors in the first place (and there is plenty in that field both mostly with short-term but also with long-term).

Process dominated companies often have issues with failing to adapt to a changing world as the reasons behind the process no longer exist and yet they stick with it anyway only to wind up out-competed and irrelevant.

On another note CEOs are generally overcompensated - especially if they wind up getting paid well even if they run things into the ground but I'm not sure process is a good antidote - I suspect the true issue is the lack of good feedback mechanisms/incentives given how many times companies have engaged in utterly stupid moves to try to inflate stock prices or earnings temporarily.

Meanwhile higher paid entertainers actually makes sense and are rational - they actually need to command the value fundamentally to be able to sustainably receive that much pay and paying them a 'reasonable' wage that massively undervalues them gives a strong incentive to jump ship when the enterprise depends upon them. It may not speak well to people's priorities given more important jobs that are paid far less but that is the economic reality.

Bugs in tests exist (and are just as prevalent as bugs in production code in my experience). However, writing production code introduces a kind of constraint on the system. If you run a function with certain program state, then it returns a certain result. No matter what you do, this will happen because that's how you wrote the code.

A test introduces the same constraint. Instead of implementing the function, it runs the function. No matter what you do, the test will run certain code and get a certain result. Tests pass when the constraints introduced by the production code match the constraints introduced by the tests.

Because of this, if there is a software error in the production code, usually you need to have a corresponding error in the tests in order for the test to pass. This definitely happens from time to time, but the odds of it happening are much lower. Similarly, if you have a software error in the tests, you need to have a corresponding software error in the production code in order for the test to pass -- assuming that the test is actually exercising the code (something you can't always assume, unfortunately).

If the modern day poor are living an equivalent life style to the middle class from 50 years ago is that really a problem? That’s what part of this article seems to describe.

As a user I have not come across any good 'visual' redesign. On the contrary, it annoys me. Immensely; when the fking redesign replaces my known problems for unknown ones.

As an example, as contractors, we fill up timesheets very often. Our company decided to move to another 'aesthetically pleasing' platform which to me as a user is same as a redesign. Now the click - tab - 8 - tab - space - cmd+w ritual is taken away. It now goes like this : load page - login - click link - click a drop down - wait for it to timeout (dont even ask me why) - click again and wait for the dropdown to populate and close itself - click again - select - click - 8 - click save - find the mini'x' - click - select another dropdown - click submit (no, space no longer works on this form).

This new platform has more options, more whitespace, more corporate colors. Agreed. No colors, whitespace your redesign could add will soothe the agony of poor usability.
Your factoid, indicating that 'a specific threshold of cap gains tax' has gone down, does not negate the commenters point.

Cap gains is only one kind of tax, moreover, the 'top rate' is just one factor in it.

Overall - tax receipts as a % of GDP have roughly been steady [1] or going up a little bit.

(Hint: tax rates going up or down don't mean that tax receipts go up or down in unison. Lower taxes could possibly mean more tax revenue etc.)

As for Chicago, there might be specific factors.

My unscientific hunch is that the middle class moved out, the crappy neighbourhoods expanded, and some neighbourhoods were taken over by migrants from poorer countries who don't have access/qualifications for higher skilled jobs.

Essentially the same story as many cities, without maybe the 2000's renaissance we've seen elsewhere with people coming back to the urban core.

It would be nice to look at the entire Chicago region.
The RAND Corporation studied their own 2000 academic quality statisticians and researchers, and they found that even with generous vacation time (through the traditional accrued vacation days practice), most researchers were so engrossed in their work that they still didn't take their vacation.

They then analyzed their people and found that those who did take their vacation performed better than those who didn't.

Subsequently, they wanted to figure out how to incentivize people to take vacation, so they instituted sabbatical pay. Specifically, they pay employees a bonus to take vacation.

In contrast, I work at a startup with unlimited vacation, and plenty of employees are at risk of burnout because they rarely take their vacation -- ultimately hurting the company along with themselves.

India is the new USA proxy, Pakistan having lost that privileged by aligning with China, and Pakistan is the new China proxy. This will end badly for both of them.

Only idiots become proxies of superpowers who don't have friends only interests.
