Whaddaya know, a businessman who ran hundreds of companies over the course of his 50-year business career knows how to do business.

It's as if Trump is not a total dummy CNN wants to portray him as, and he's instead a pretty decent executive who knows what to do and who to hire (and fire) to make things run better, economy-wise, and stimulate competition for the lower end of the labor market. Wait until he also starts a crackdown on employers who offer jobs (illegally) to illegal migrants. That $15 minimum wage will become irrelevant overnight as employers will be fighting to get Americans and legal immigrants to do the jobs. Then there's also substantial growth (highest in the last 30 years) in well-paying manufacturing jobs and employment among minorities.

But that goes against the narrative, so I'm sure this will be downvoted into oblivion. Unsurprisingly, there's no mention of Trump in the article at all. :-)

You're describing demand for labour.

Labour supply is the amount of workers willing to work at a given wage. Demand for labour is the amount of workers wanted at a certain wage. If someone's excluded from the market at a certain wage, it means there isn't demand for their labour at that price.
They knew it was coming. McD's didn't become a global empire with fools running it. It probably accelerated their plans, though, because the kiosks were installed coincident with the rises.

Personally, I eat out a lot less due to the menu price increases attributable to the min wage increases.

> Those 'laws' are untainted by contact with reality. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage: " ... none of the world's most successful trading regions, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and now mainland China, reached their current status by adopting neoliberal trading rules."

What a gross way to misrepresent that article, the source of that quote, and the established consensus. That quote is not "from Wikipedia" any more than it is from yourself (or from HN for that matter) just because you happened to copy-paste it here. That quote is from one critic whom Wikipedia happens to cite just for the sake of illustrating what counterclaims exist out there.

If you really want to quote Wikipedia, why not quote the couple paragraphs before, which actually address what the consensus is:

Several arguments have been advanced against using comparative advantage as a justification for advocating free trade, and they have gained an audience among economists. [...] However, the overwhelming consensus of the economics profession remains that while these arguments are theoretically valid under certain assumptions, these assumptions do not usually hold and should not be used to guide trade policy. Gregory Mankiw, chairman of the Harvard Economics Department, has said: ″Few propositions command as much consensus among professional economists as that open world trade increases economic growth and raises living standards.″

Now your quote doesn't look so much like an established fact, does it?
The incentive structures of society (capitalism, if you're so inclined, but I don't think this is unique to capitalism) are incompatible with your wishes.

I love JupyterHub, but we've hit some real headaches in having it scale. At Virginia Tech, we have an introductory course for non-computing majors where students are using Jupyter through JH. At around the 70-student mark, we have performance issues. Considering that the course is eventually meant to scale much farther (hundreds of students), we're not really sure how we can make further progress with our current resources. I hope this new version has some performance enhancements (though I don't see any in the changelog). Last I talked with anyone about this was in the NBGrader project[1], where other schools were hitting walls with scaling.

why does this article keep returning anew on hacker news?

The military wants people to feel no stigma for reporting observations they fail to explain on their own? Good, no problem with that, it is their duty to watch out for such contingencies. And they probably don't see it as their duty to explain and share footage of each and every incident, and the internal conclusions, ... because they don't want others to know their level of alertness, the resolution and sensitivity of their systems, ...

Why is thedrive.com so intent on portraying such events as "unexplainable" by a collection of humans? They are re-creating the stigma by conflating UFO's with the seemingly impossible.

I.e. even if it is "just a sensor malfunction" or "just an optical effect", it is important to the military that the human operators report these deficiencies up the chain of command: if accidental situations can fool the systems and operators (UFO sightings) into seeing things that don't exist, or misinterpreting things that do exist, then obviously:

1. such hallucinations could be artificially induced (think chaff, camouflage, ...) and hence it is important to take note of spontaneously arising confusing observations

2. such hallucinations increase the noise floor and distract from potential true invasions of air space: if you can address and learn from UFO sightings to improve sensor systems, then a true violation of air space requires less work to detect than if it is hiding in a stack of illusory UFO reports

Since this is a forum with a lot of engineers I would expect people to do their research instead of simply making statements.

Exporting labor to cheaper countries (primarily China and Mexico) and importing cheap labor (through both legal and illegal immigration from low-income countries such as Mexico) and STEM imports through H1-B Visa abuses depresses wages for the working class in the former situation and among highly skilled professionals in the later.

There is a term for this: global labor arbitrage

Of course, there is a number of working class jobs replaced by automation, but in spite of automation, global labor arbitrage still exists as an independent phenomena to depress wages.

In 2001 China joined the World Trade Org (WTO) but "did not play by the rules." with the result that many Americans in working class jobs lost those jobs or ended up receiving depressed wage rates.

NAFTA has been an issue with Mexico.

The H1-B Visa abuse has been substantial with a number of organizations importing H1-B Visa labor to replace Americans (e.g. Disney, Southern CA Edison, UC San Francisco,...).

Trump has been working to stop illegal immigration as well as stemming H1-B Visa abuse. A result is that there are "labor shortages" resulting in a rising wage rate.

Another major factor impacting wage growth has been the increasing costs of healthcare which is generally paid for by employers. Higher benefits costs result in lower wages.

BTW, there are some companies that complain that they can't find workers but generally that is because 1) they are not offering market level wages and 2) they are not located in a place where people want to live.

Generally, these firms, if they are willing to locate where people want to live and if they offer market wages, they will be able to find employees.
Because nothing is free. You don't have to pay for it if it has no value, or you can do it yourself.

Bullshit.

So much vague hand-waving here but one thing in particular strikes me as especially ridiculous: I don't know why you think corporations have to buy their labor in the same country(ies) where they keep their money. They'll buy it wherever it's cheapest to do so.

Are you suggesting that we close the borders to corporate capital and imports and exports, as well as immigrants? I think that ship has probably sailed, and as much as I dislike certain aspects of globalism I don't think sticking our heads in the sand is a sustainable path forward.

You haven't addressed any of these tricky second-order questions, and even through a lens of basic economics (not to mention history) what you're saying is vague and problematic. There's nothing "clear" about it, at all.
FWIW I think it's pretty easy to test if someone is using an adblocker anyway. (I see sites do the "It looks like you're using an adblocker" thing all the time). I don't know if there's any realistic way to entirely hide that.

I wanted to clear up that I don’t actually think we should not associate with the Chinese I just more am thinking at some point it fell out of favour to be a nazi. You would not want to be associated with that. At what point will this happen wiTh the Chinese. And I fully understand that most people have very little control of how China is run. The same for Nazi Germany but eventually the world got the upper hand and all of Germany was forced to change. Some Nazi’s persist today but they are not strong because people will literally attack you.
No, I do not believe veteran health care is included in the statistics you are citing, and I am similarly dubious of your explanations for how each of those other 4 events impacted health care costs, because everything I've read suggests that the impacts are way more complicated than they look (for instance, much of the health cost impact from the "Great Recession" wasn't felt until years after).
If you allow yourself to be treated as the product, then you are indeed the product.

Don't use "free" services if you object to the designation, because to the owners of those services, you are literally nothing but a product sold to whomever is paying for you to receive that free service.

Every "free" email, search engine, repo, etc., isn't a product to the end user, even if it mimics one. It is a way for advertisers and data miners to access the site owner's product -- your eyes and info.
...for most superbugs, health departments and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) don’t track who acquires them, nor do they know how many recovered or died. The most recent CDC report estimates that 23,000 people die in the U.S. each year from superbug infections, based on data from 2010. But a recent report estimated that at least 153,000 people died from superbug infections the same year, an estimate that is nearly seven-fold higher. We are allowing most superbugs to maintain their invisibility under the radar, where they are spreading quietly. Unreported. Undetected. And, increasingly, untreatable.

Incoming light spectra are convolved with the frequency responses of the eye's photoreceptor cells (basically R, B, and G for color). The Sun, and your computer screen, achieve white using quite different spectra. They just have to poke the cells to similar extents. Forgetting that the eye matters is common. "Spectra peak in green, so Sun is green" is one (not so common) resulting misconception.
> meaning bad news for web developers wanting to take advantage of newer features.

I think you spelled “mass compromise of unsuspecting users due to unpatched security holes” wrong.

Like it or not, browsers as the primary networked application that people use are the prime target to exploit users. They connect to unknown endpoints of questionable trustworthiness (unlike most other networked apps) and execute code loaded from there. They also handle people’s secrets such as credentials to Homebanking. We maybe shouldn’t be at that point, but here we are and browser vendors need to handle that responsibility. Quick auto updates are crucial for that. Expert users might dislike them, but let’s face it, we’re not the majority.
“Stop importing foreign workers.. ... cut taxes... close borders.... prosperity will result... “

- so how about importing goods from china or other countries ? Will you recommend stopping imports ? Practically everything is made in china.. almost all manufacturing jobs have moved to china or asian countries.. i hardly see anything made in USA in target or walmart or any store in any malls..

- cut taxes. Is a strong dollar a curse for unskilled/low skilled workers .. Because.. you have every company getting stuff made in china.. and you propose cutting taxes .. why would any CEO make stuff in USA when it is ridiculously cheap to make in china ? would you recommend dollar to go down ?

Your statements dont consider any of these factors... if politicians dont get back manufacturing jobs or stop importing cheap products there will be no real solution to unemployment or wage increases..

From a biz standpoint it makes sense to use what's well known, time-tested, stack-overflow answered, and easy to hire for.

From a developer's perspective, it's older, boring, and less effective than newer ones. Probably much less so in front-end as there seems to be much more rapid adoption.

The best case scenario would be solving a problem in-house then open-sourcing it.

Why can't they just release that certificate for everyone to install on all affected non-recent and derivative builds (like Tor Browser)? Or is the internal certificate storage different from the one that is configurable in settings? Then tell us straight away what file to change, and the community (everyone likes to mention so much) comes up with the ways to patch it much faster than you think.
Good news for users is sometimes bad news for developers. Anyway, too often these "newer features" are just new ways to exploit people or shiny add-ons without much societal value.

“I've noticed a weird kind of racism in some folks who talk about China: they simultaneously think they'll conquer the world and that they can't invent technology on their own.”

That’s just normal racism. Mexicans are too lazy to work, but come here and steal our jobs. Muslims come here to force Sharia Law on everyone, but fail to integrate and keep to themselves. Illegals are using public services for free, but pay taxes using fake information and are criminals. Obama was incompetent, but also managed to build complex shadow government.

Premature Optimization: What It Is and How to Avoid It
Lots of jobs can't really be moved offshore. Millions of these jobs are filled by illegal immigrants at illegally low wages. Farm workers. Domestic workers. Child care. Food service. Retail. Drivers. Massive portions of the labor force.

Current pro-illegal implicit policy is a subsidy to capital at the expense of both the illegals and displaced American workers.
There is little or no evidence to support the statement that immigrants lower the wages for "those who need it most" in any way significantly - most research suggests immigration has a zero or very small negative effect on host employment and income with some papers even suggesting a very small positive effect.

This is because immigrants also create demand - for housing, food/consumables, transport, services, entertainment/leisure, etc. This demand raises prices in those areas. Immigrants are also more likely to be "complementary" - e.g. agricultural laborers or software engineers, for that matter, are more likely to migrate to somewhere where there are too few workers of their type available.

Most of the wealthiest countries sustain high immigration. If immigration impoverished the lower paid of the host countries, then this effect should be observable but it isn't. For example, Switzerland has over 3 times the US rate of immigration yet has one of the highest bottom quintile incomes in world.
