The Conservative Party is just the Liberal Party's policies delayed by 10-20 years combined with fake kowtowing to voting blocks with suggestions that they'll do what the block wants (and then virtually never executing on that).

So yes, it's broken. True conservatives in Canada long for a real party to represent us without looking stupid / evil, but every time one is tried it's beset by problems and waylaid early in the game. The People's Party is the latest incarnation of that, assassinated by the CPC punching right, castigated to look racist when it's not, and so forth. It will probably die after one more election with no results, and then we'll all have to wait for some new hope, which _at best_ will have policies lining up with what the CPC professes now, while they'll have moved on to what the Liberals profess now, in the ever-moving march leftwards.
Well, that's actually a good question.

My intention is to get more traffic and keep them.

The first time I launched on PH it brought 1268 users.

Right now there's between 150 to 300 users daily since april 18th.

The site is free, so no money here is needed.

I just want more users though...

Thank you for asking.
it is a characteristic of technology that what costs too much in one generation will in each following generation cost less - at some future point the quality of automation found in the U.S now will no longer be prohibitively expensive in China.

Ran into this a lot myself. So far I haven't been able to get very far to consolidate all these variables. Whenever I see threads pointing to economic growth or decline, I'm left saying there are tons of confounding factors, but without being able to offer the right answer.

If you have any good reading to point to, please let me know. It's one of the things I'd love to have a good answer to, and that should be able to be answered to some extent, but isn't. Moreover I feel even many top economists routinely invoke extremely simplified single-variable perspectives (e.g. average wages per worker, or average household income) which indeed leaves out so many confounding factors that I've almost lost my expectation/hope that people even consider this kind of stuff... Only in academic papers which look to study something specific, are these confounders taken into account. But in general studies of economic growth or changes in or comparisons of economic wellbeing of various demographic subgroups, it seems the simple-perspective prevails. I get that many of these discussions are inherently political, thus susceptible to cherry-picking perspectives, but I'm still surprised there isn't some standard method so far that is more complex than charting 'household income for xyz'.

Any pointers to good literature is most welcome, and thanks for posting!
I’ve done some consulting at quite a few bigcorps in the Houston area. The amount of outsourcing of IT generalist work that I’ve seen is downright scary. Regardless of political affiliation, this should be front and center for both parties. It is the go to move for executives that want to spin stagnant growth into profitability. I generally disagree with tariffs. However outsourced work should be subject to a 100% tariff so that it’s disincentivized.
And they aren’t going to get what they were promised. With boondoggles like these, it shouldn’t be a surprise why American’s are against infrastructure projects. It’s all over promising and under delivering

I can’t tell if you mean to be dismissive, but if you are you should know that the south of Spain was under Islamic rule for good deal of time, so the Islamic history degree provides a lot of insight into modern Spain.

My thinking is that battery technology will never improve enough to make a larger battery smaller, lighter, and less expensive than a smaller one.

...but ICEs will never improve to make acceleration competitive with even present day electric motors.

>If only we hadn't invented the printing press

The difference is that scribing was a limiting factor to new and expanded methods of communication. Removing this limit allowed industry to expand due to massive decreases in costs of communication and expansion into entirely new forms. A similar argument can be made for many of the usual purported counter examples against automation alarmism. Steam engines, combustion engines, trains, cars, highways, the internet, they all were massively reducing friction and transaction costs, thus opening up new forms of commerce which brought new kinds of jobs.

Automation is a different kind of beast. The promise of the automation revolution is not orders of magnitude increases in efficiency, its removing humans from the equation. A long haul truck doesn't get across the country and order of magnitude faster, it just gets there more cheaply without the constraints human involvement. This does create a market for self-driving trucks and the industries needed to support them. But they too can be automated. The potential for making human labor irrelevant to large chunks of the economy is real and shouldn't be hand-waved away.

What’s the supporting scientific evidence for the idea of an introversion-extroversion personality trait?
Which part of the fact that Linux is a toy bothers you, and why does it bother you? Is Linux a religion for you?
It really shows a remarkable lack of self awareness and exemplifies the "liberal elite media bubble" which so much populist sentiment is a reaction to.
The introversion-extraversion personality axis is the only part of the MBTI that modern psychometrics accepts basically without reservation. It lives on as the introversion-extraversion factor of the Big 5 Personality Model.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Five_personality_traits

I find it interesting that the rest of the MBTI is so thoroughly rejected -- in particular, I read in work that accepts the MBTI (uh-oh, red flag!) that males tend to split 75% T / 25% F and females do the reverse, 75% F / 25% T.

It seems to me that this very large difference in responses should be sufficient to show that the T / F axis is capturing something. If the T / F distinction were meaningless, it wouldn't be able to predict anything, but it clearly can predict the respondent's sex.
The route chosen for CA high speed rail guaranteed failure. SF out to the Central Valley and then in to LA meant a really expensive project which would result in a slow train. This single route through everywhere was necessary for political, particularly Congressional, backing. I'm glad Gavin Newsom cancelled it and I still want HSR. They should start with SLO to San Diego and then a Central Valley line. Finally, connect SFO (yup, San Francisco International Airport) to SLO.
Sometimes a short term good experience is exactly what you need. I wouldn't discount the value in that.
IIRC the earlier work on roll-overs made the point that all cars have a resonate roll-over frequency that plays a part when drivers over correct a swerve. I wonder if anyone is taking a new look at that isdue. Also, whdn a bunch of combustion engines get displaced, what is therd to do with them beyond recycling the metal? Looks like the cost of these freed-up motors is about to drop. Motor futures; shorting anyone?
Taiwan has 1/5th the GDP of California. So, it’s more like California had even lower goals than Taiwan.
>Skilled immigration is an economic home run

Your response is tangential to the original point.

OP asserts correctly that increasing supply of labor depresses wages, by lowering the negotiating leverage. Your response handwaves it away with "skilled immigration is better for the whole economy".

Sorry to burst your bubble - this is a thread about balancing the wages / profits split. OP is right; the higher the supply of labor, the lower the price of labor, thus leaving higher proportion of the surplus as profits. Aka the dreaded inequality.

It's fine to prefer profit over wages, if that's how you make your living. But let's not pretend we're for increasing wages while in fact for increasing profit.

The author of the tweet missed the obvious reason for that performance, even though he even mentioned that this is the mobile behavior:

They want you to use the app!

The button to open/install the app is clearly visible at an early stage. And since imgur users are the product, and not the customer, you want them in the app where you can retain them more easily (think notifications) and ad-target them more precisely based on all the data you can collect directly on the devices.
What a laughable justification for shameless behavior.
When I was learning Hungarian grammar in Hungarian grades 1-8, the 'noun case' terminology was not widespread, although more and more academic sources began lifting it from works discussing Indo-European languages. Instead, what's taught is that Hungarian is a thoroughly agglutinative language, and there are different kinds of suffixes which play different roles. If they're present, the types of suffixes always occur in the same order.

The first kind are any word-creation suffixes that change the meaning of the root word, perhaps making it a different part of speech. Such a suffix is called a 'képző'.

The second kind are word-relationship markers that preserve the part of speech but signify a clarifying quality, like belonging to an adjacent noun, or plurality, comparative intensity, or an ordinal pointer -- the sorts of markers you'd use to answer questions like 'whose?', 'which?'. This kind of suffix is called 'jel'.

The third are role-in-sentence markers that signal the function of the word within the sentence. This suffix is called a 'rag'. For verbs, these are endings for grammatical person and mood. For nouns, the most common of these correspond to nominative case, accusative case, and dative case, but then there's one that expresses the notion of being used as an instrument, one that expresses a purpose, two that are used to signify a transformation, and a couple others. And, there are 10 more that show a location relationship; English would prefix such words with one of: at, into, in, out of, towards, by, away from, onto, on, from off of; in Hungarian, the word takes a corresponding suffix instead.

When I was learning English grammar in an American school, a structural examination at a level I was used to from Hungarian was largely absent -- it took until I was learning English as a foreign language, or learning German as a foreign language, that mechanics of English grammar became apparent to me. The dying usage of subjunctive mood and incorrect use of accusative and dative case is a natural simplification, but enabled by the lack of education about the origin of those forms and their meaning.
Diagnosis of depression is clinical. Self reporting via standardized questions is an ordinary medical method. "Where does it hurt?" "When did it start?" "Is there a history of heart disease in your family?." "When did your baby start crying?"

'Illness' provides a framework for recognition and treatment. The book with the guidelines is medical not religious. The guidelines are guided by empiricism not revelation. Treatments are selected based on statistics rather than authority. There's general agreement that the book's content might be wrong. There's a process for changing it and the expectation that it will be rewritten.

Criteria for diagnosing depression in the DSM include behavioral "thinking of suicide," physically measurable "weight loss," and general well being "fatigue." The suicide criterion is more conducive to empirical confirmation than "headache" or "joint pain."
I think Yang has been overstating automation’s impact, in part because that’s necessary for political messaging. Sounds like the Ball State study has some issues.

Did you only just move to Alberta? It's literally always voted right-wing except our very brief NDP government. The PCs (Progressive Conservatives, remember them?) literally ruled our province for 44 years. The OG populist right-wing party originated here (Reform Party). Remember Ralph Klein? The original high school flunkie Premier.

Alberta's always been like this.

Yes I have side projects either to use things I've learned in new ways or if my day job is becoming too routine to learn new things by making things I don't know how to make when I start.

I made two libraries[1,2] to the point where I need to use them for real life projects to shake out design/usability issues so I started a third project to write programs over HTTP. It's very contrived but challenging to print "Hello, world." using all the unnecessary contraptions.

To be fair, there are certain roles for which extroversion actually is beneficial. Specifically, sales. The ability to be always on is definitely an asset to a sales executive.

Also, I don’t think this has anything to do with open-office layouts. There’s a much, much simpler reason for that: it’s way cheaper. Having individual (or shared) offices costs way more - you need doors, lots of walls, lots of construction, etc. for an open office space? All you need is tables, chairs, and headphones. Way cheaper. Maybe not more productive (there are arguments to be made in either direction here, though I suspect I know which direction your argument will take), but definitely much cheaper.
Off topic: could anybody recommend, with what (preferably, simple) tool one could make animations like this one?
Nowadays 100%. 20 years ago China didn’t have a high technology sector that could have supported large scale factory automation, and factories where built to scale labor.

100% agree with regulation. That’s why US trade policy is the main cause of the decline. It should reflect regulatory arbitrage. It’s utterly pointless to save the environment in the US and poison it in China.

Every election, same opinion piece. And it is still valueless. By this thinking, the veterans that fought in WWII would not be permitted to vote. The parents that sacrificed to make their children successful would not be permitted to vote. Why? Because the young will obviously vote for the correct old person (which varies depending on the election).

How many potential riders live along each respective corridor? How many people want to travel between San Jose and Bakersfield vs Taipei and Kaohsiung?

I’d guesstimate an order of magnitude lower as proposed; the California plan doesn’t make much sense to me without extending the line 100 miles further from Bakersfield to LA.
Manufacturing is probably the worst example because trade policy has definitely had an impact there. However, look at other industries: Tier-1 tech support being replaced by chat bots, order-takers being replaced by kiosks and apps, realtors being replaced by self-service apps (ie redfin).

Whether by outsourcing or automation, the cause is the same: Loss of low-skilled jobs in return for cheaper products & services. The challenge is to find the best method to leverage those cheaper products and services to improve quality of life for everyone, especially those who's skills become obsolete.
Gmail is when I look around for market statitics around 30-40%. Second largest is Microsoft. Third Yahoo at something blow 15% with "other" trailing a few % below that. In the corporate space Microsoft is largest with office 365. G suit is common, but as I read it about half the market share of Office.

So no, not a rounding error and gmail is definitive not Email nor even 50% of it. Discussing market share also seems to me as very much the wrong question. Why should we not use the same process that email did when the world converted over to using encrypted email between client->MTA->Recipient? Is there a technical argument why converting things to HTTPS and then giving everything to whomever the browsers is partnered with is a better model?
Yea, and on the federal level, I can find virtually no information on most of the candidates in my riding. I think there was a riding debate, but AFAICT it hasn't been published so I can't watch it, although I'm planning to do another search today.

Last federal election cycle, the riding debate had less than 500 views IIRC.

So while the original statement is factually true, I agree with slededit, my impression is we're currently in the state where most people vote for the leader, and the parties are set up in a way to pressure voting along party lines, or get kicked out.
Interesting. That mean that low/medium mental disorders are not big deal in an environment of stability/happiness.

Agreed. Also the recent C# language developments are themselves pretty good, as are the runtime / SDK improvements in dotnet core.

With mostly a Linux, python / slightly FP background I "should" be the skeptic. But a recent project had me on a dotnet core app developed mostly on OSX and deployed on Linux. It was honestly pretty neat and while I no longer work on it, I am bullish on this space.
Absolutely. In fact industrial automation components (robots, servos, linear bearings, etc) have been in huge demand from China. Suppliers often sell the same components there for half the price as they charge in the US for the same quality and quantities. Domestic Chinese companies are becoming major suppliers of a lot of factory automation equipment like presses, laser welders, coil winders, etc.

There's no reason to think the US has an advantage in automation. In fact, it's much easier as an automation engineer to design automation processes for the factory that's around the corner than to do so for a factory in another time zone that 90% of your team has never seen in person.
I used to be more in favor of CA HSR, but I read an argument that said cities are congested, rural I-5 isn't, so we'd be better off building a second BART tunnel and electrifying Caltrain.
This is also my favorite type of program, where you coded all the parts but the result is unexpected and often surprising.

Another kind that's great is when you start building from opposite ends using whatever tech you pick or build and somehow when they meet things line up like you planned it all along.
It is capturing something right. But it is flatting down a much more complex reality.

Yes - automation in the US context has historically evolved with pilots pilots considered a key and reliable redundancy. So yes - the automation is not full automation / full redundancy. The idea has (historically) been then that the pilots bring overall safety to required standard and the pilot is the redundancy. The evidence in the US has showed that this approach works from everything from stab trim cutout issues to dual engine failures.

In the US, efforts in last years have focused on the entire chain of safety (actually away from plane design) and the US has hit some of the BEST periods of safety in aviation. This is everything from duty / rest periods, maintenance, minimum training requirements etc.

"And this is somehow OK for American pilots, but not for foreigners?"

Let's be VERY clear here:

The requirement to fly Part 121 in US even as just a first officer requires an ATP and 1,500 hours. Most folks have a a significant amount of other flying prior to that, the US has a much bigger GA aviation scene, private flight instruction, glider, private jet / charter markets and military flying. The US has something like 12,000 pilots flying for the air force alone. The first officer on your long flight is very very likely to have a TON of experience in all sorts of situations, and particularly with manual flying.

Overseas - you can be a graduate with an academic / training background only and 250 hrs of "flight time" more broadly defined and be at the controls. Ethiopian airline pilots were 25 and 29 years old.

In the US, major carriers even more picky.

Southwest for example:

Flight Experience: 2,500 hours total or 1,500 hours Turbine total. Additionally, a minimum of 1,000 hours in Turbine aircraft as the Pilot in Command* is preferred. Southwest considers only Pilot time in fixed-wing aircraft. This specifically excludes simulator, WSO, RIO, FE, NAV, EWO, etc. "Other Time" will not be considered.

So yes, if boeing is going to sell into markets with folks getting into cockpit as co-pilots with sometimes as low as 50 hrs (1 week) of experience (in cadet / training systems) then 100% they will need to redesign and rethink things for this future pilot population - and yes, that means the systems will have to have MUCH more natural redundancy built in.

Ignoring this difference in background, opportunity and skill will lead to lots more deaths - all preventable if the thinking changes and a better understanding of future pilot populations is developed, and that includes accounting for differences in training and experience.
