What makes a two-income household a "trap" is when both parents are forced to work in order to make ends meet. This creates a nominal rise in household income that masks the actual desperation of the household's financial situation.

The trap is: declining real household income for segments of the population. The "two income" part is a consequence of the trap, not a cause.

This matters because a lot of the increasing representation of women in the workforce is not the result of the two-income trap, but the result of women, individually, wanting to work. In other words, not every two-income household is actually in a trap. Many of them are formed by two people who each have jobs they like and want to keep.

My wife, for example, has advanced training and likes her job. She couldn't wait to get back to work after we had our first child. As a family, we could survive fine on my salary today... but she would kill me if I suggested this. Now we're struggling to home-educate our child while we both work remotely. If I suggested that she quit her job to be our family's "insurance policy", again, she would kill me (even if I invoked Elizabeth Warren).

My mom worked too, because she wanted to. Good thing she did, because when my parents divorced she was able, financially, to transition to being on her own right away.

Single-income families can be a trap too... for the person who is not earning an income. About half of U.S. marriages end in divorce. A spouse with no independent financial base and no job of their own is not in a position to leave when they want to.

This stuff is really important to understand, so we don't go down a fruitless rabbit hole of wringing our collective hands about the decline of the traditional family culture or whatever. Taking that broad simple view of two-income households runs a very real risk of simply denying the agency of women who want to work and make their own way in the world... even if they are married with kids.

God bless you. This has filled me with rage since lockdown. Can’t wait to try it tomorrow.
The previous poor performing CEO was a home grown engineer.
If you’re going to make a claim like that, you need to make it in a way that experts can verify: absent follow-up or reporting from other, independent, outlets, there’s no good reason for me to take it seriously. And, given Supermicro’s connections with Taiwan, there’s plenty of reason for me to suspect something’s up.
I’ve found the best way is to remember the phrase, “Debits come in and credits go out.”

Let’s say you have a bank account. Your view of that account is opposite from the bank’s view.

You have $100 cash. That’s an asset from your POV, and it carries a debit balance on your books - when you received it, the cash “came in”.

You walk into the bank and deposit it. The cash goes out of your books, but an asset (the increase in your bank account) comes onto your books. You credit cash and debit asset.

From the bank’s POV, cash came in - they debit their cash account. And they credit your account in their books. That account is a liability from their POV - they owe you the money.

Notice how the debit and credit to cash even balanced across entities. If you talk about pluses and minuses, you’ll get confused quickly.

One of the worst things that ever happened was banks issuing “debit cards”. When you take cash from an ATM, it’s a debit from the bank’s POV. The bank carries your account as a liability, which carries a credit balance. (You are the bank’s creditor!)

So the bank debits your account (credit came in again) and credits their cash (cash went out).

You credit the bank account on your books (asset went out) and debit your cash (cash came in)

Just remember that a “debit card” reflects the banks POV and don’t let that confuse you about the meaning of “debit”. Debiting an asset is generally a good thing!

When making accounting transactions, debits always balance credits - meaning they total to zero in the code itself. It’s conventional to make assets positive (hey, having lots of assets is good, right?).

OP gains nothing but confusion by turning everything upside down.

Plenty of examples in the rest of this thread are talking about automated lines in France, which has some of the strongest unions in the world. So the idea that unions are what's blocking automated systems is crazy, at least if applied globally.

This will sound facetious, but I mean it sincerely. Change email provider. I was an original "invite only" user of GMail. Eventually, I got so sick of Google's complete u-turn on their original philosophy that I changed, despite the cost in time and effort that decision entailed. It's worth it. But I will recommend you choose providers carefully. If you're not paying for it in some way (e.g. Fastmail), be concerned. Also, the ability to use your own domain is a huge boon (you'll never have to go through the excessive email-change pain again).
So you're saying people are just pushing through heart attacks then going about their business?

The contribution of tire and brake pad wear is really quite low compared to other sources of air pollution.

From Evangeliou et al. (2020), Atmospheric transport is a major pathway of microplastics to remote regions, page 3:

"Surface concentrations of tire wear particles (TWPs) range between a few ng.m−3 and 20 ng.m−3 for PM2.5 and up to 50 ng.m−3 for PM10 (Supplementary Movie 1). Brake wear particle (BWP) surface concentrations reach 50 ng.m−3 at maximum (Supplementary Movie 1). The highest concentrations were calculated for eastern USA, Europe and South-eastern Asia. All concentrations (TWPs 0.4 μg.m−3 for PM2.5, 1.8 μg.m−3 for PM10; BWPs 0.8 μg.m−3 for PM2.5, 1.4 μg.m−3 for PM10) were far below air quality limits for PM (annual mean 10 μg.m−3 for PM2.5, double for PM10) and lower than typical black carbon (BC) concentrations in remote regions."

At Dartmouth they got to deal with coronavirus early on, someone who felt they didn't have to quarantine brought it from the Biogen outbreak. They have experience and the Dean of Students stated that Dartmouth is going to come down savagely on frat parties, the punishment being expulsion.

Expulsion from society sounds about right.
And now I understand why Jim Keller left Intel. It's not technology that is lacking at Intel, it's the management.
Uh oh...

I had one of these when I was young (though it may have been the pretty similar F-105W actually). I loved that cool blue glow. In fact I think the only difference between the F-91W and F-105W was the print on the front.

Edit: Nope, the F-91W had a poor green LED, the F-105W had super cool blue electroluminescent backlight, so that was the difference, thanks to dvt for pointing this out.

Also, I have a satellite phone, and many radio transceivers (mentioned in the article). Just the "Large quantities of cash" I don't have (I buy too many radios and other toys lol).. I suppose I'm on a list now :D

Basically a "pilot is incapacitated" button, it will pick the nearest airport and attempt to land there, and will even communicate with ATC. I believe the idea is that if you're a general aviation pilot flying with your family and you keel over, they can press this button to get down safely.
Mental stress may be high, but you can also turn off the news. Physiological stress is much lower when you have drinks, food, and bathroom within reach every 20 minutes for most of the day. It also helps not having to strut around an office for 10 hours with a giant ball of water and human resting on your internal organs and sloshing back and forth with every movement, throwing you off balance. During pregnancy your body is a machine taken over by a different process you have zero control over, and any resource shortage hits that process first. Meds you take, foods you eat, lack of sleep or other deprivations. You are really an observer of someone else’s work (evolution) and the months of pregnancy teach you to pay attention to your contractions and body reactions, to the baby’s kicks, and any other data outputs, and how they affect the baby. Your amigdala grows and your empathy remains high for life (it grows equally in men who become primary caregivers too). Empathy in this case is the ability to put yourself in another person’s shoes, foresee deeper into layers of potential consequences and prevent undesirable circumstances.

There's a definite normalization of coded socialization throughout the business world and most any occupation. It emerges from the same quality that makes founders see their business as a "child" - they are going to protect it, and usher you towards similarly protecting it, because that is the thing parents do above all else. That isn't wrong - lots of folks fall in love with ideas.

If a person should come in that room, though, and make the case that they are the child, you start to get this sort of dysfunction. And when you wield a lot of authority, it's easy to fall into a child's mindset and never get called on it, and there is nothing innocent about what happens in those scenarios. You can pathologize it with various terms of the psyche, call them predatory or whatnot, but the underpinning of it is that these people are good at turning people into doting chaperones, and they will seek out such wherever they go and twist the rules as needed so that their own mistakes are "oopsies" while those of others are "unforgivable".

The only counterbalance I know of is to be so committed to an idea of your own that you immediately drive away anyone looking to engage you in this way. Then you will be bad at "socializing", but good at finding others similarly committed to ideas.
I find footnotes annoying even in print books. When I'm reading a book, I have to figure out if the book is the type that uses footnotes as citations or the type that uses it as actual content. Or worse, the type that does both. If it's the type that uses them as citations, then meh, I can skip over them. If it's the type that uses them as content, well ugh now I need to read this footnote and then get back to the original text, which is a context switch. Even worse if the footnotes are actually endnotes because then I need to physically flip the pages. Even worse if the endnotes are gigantic and have subnotes (cough Infinite Jest).

If it's the type that does both then I have to look at every damn footnote only to be disappointed by a "Pfaffenberger, 2016" 90% of the time.

I don't have a good answer to these problems. Tufte style is better because I don't have to move my eyes that much. But there's only so much one can put in a note in the margin. And it still distracts.
Author here. Thank you. I feel an important element of this type of writing is what complexity to show and what to hide at different points. "Magic" is just to say "don't worry about the contents of this box yet, we'll get to it". It's what we discuss right after the visual. Sorry that came out as confusing. I'll add a note to the following figure saying that's the magic.
Technical analysis means something else in investing than what Buffett does. And working to minimize psychological influences on his decisions is a big part of what Warren does.
I cannot believe with the decrease in 1st-class mail that the USPS is still running delivery trucks 6 days per week to every house. It's a complete waste of resources.

They should go to 3 days per week, then cut back to 2, and maybe even just 1 per week. Since the pandemic, I have been leaving my mail in the box and getting it Sunday night. You know what I'm missing? Nothing! There may be 2-3 pieces of mail plus some junk mail, and I don't get email delivery of any bills: it's all physical mail.

Most people do not care if they get junk mail plus a few bills every day or once a week. They do care if they get their Amazon packages delivered. So to me, it's perfectly reasonable to delay 1st-class mail and prioritize, uh, "priority mail".

The drunk is dead. There's no great risk to the safety of the train from striking a human or small animal (larger creatures like bears and deer can be a problem). There are a number of very dangerous places to pass out drunk, and it feels like that's not really a problem for railways to solve.

At-grade ("Level") crossings should be closed (and thus grade separated). Where that's impractical there are numerous options for ensuring the crossing is not open to railway traffic until it is clear:

In some areas it can be practical to employ a person whose duties include verifying that this crossing is clear and then authorising its use. Because CCTV is cheap now we can fit cameras and lighting and have them do this remotely for a large portion of the network.

Or we can use radar to protect crossings. The barriers drop, and then radar is activated (the small hazard introduced by using radar is mitigated because the crossing is closed, nobody should be in the area being illuminated by the radar anyway), if somehow there is a large object on the crossing even though the barriers are down, this means something went wrong. The outward flow barriers re-open to potentially allow a trapped driver or animal to leave and the system tries again, if this doesn't help the crossing is considered failed and humans go to investigate, they will find your broken down semi-truck.

The freight car should preferably be harmlessly derailed by trap points. If this is impossible (and the layout cannot be rectified) the presence of the freight car should trip sensors, either axle counters or track circuits, and close the section to traffic. Again humans will likely have to come investigate how that occurred when it cannot be explained and won't go away.

I think you're thinking of a different watch. The F-91W has a green LED[1] that's notoriously terrible (not to mention lopsided).

I wish any of the affordable NDIR sensors would work below 400 ppm, and also without exposing them to a reference concentration every once in a while.

Considering the effects of even small CO2 level increases on mental abilities, I'm looking forward to an indoor CO2 scrubber to get back below 300 and ideally below 200 ppm in the office/living room.
But running a fab is a huge cost and liability while all the competition is outsourcing to TSMC. Because the process is so difficult, I think it makes sense to only have fabs that work for multiple companies. I do think US chip companies (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) and government should get together and start a fab by themselves.
It's like celebrities launching lines of cosmetics products - all they do is contribute a picture of their face, and then they rake in the money.
It sounds like a good thing to expose people to the costs of their decisions?

Otherwise you just subsidise sprawl. That's bad for the climate as well (because of higher CO2 emissions).

I like endnotes best. For a book where they are actually useful I either unbind or buy two copies so I can lay out the endnotes side by side with the book. Think of it like having two monitors where one is the working screen and the other is the reference screen.
This is just financial engineering from a private equity company. They are simply bleeding out the brand reputation for as long as they can.

Same playbook as every other one.

Buy a brand. Cut costs and ship all work to the cheapest labor market. Count on brand loyalty and reputation to carry sales as the quality goes down. Eventually the brand will no longer be worth much due to the lower quality product, but by then the private equity firm has made solid returns on its investment. At that point they sell off the last scraps and find another quality brand with quality products and good jobs to destroy.
They... don't work? How exactly does such a straightforward physical item not work?
Yes. FedEx is only legally allowed to ship 'extremely urgent mail'. Not regular 'first class mail'. So their costs are going to be higher.
I will say, those are licensed products. They may be good, but that's luck of the draw, they have just sold the brand name off to some 3rd party to make a specific product.

For what it's worth, I bought a remington-branded bone saw ~3 years back, and it was absolute garbage. It failed to even finish field dressing an elk, and all that was required was one cut of a few inches. It's a shame, their older products were right up there with the likes of Starrett as the pinnacle of precision manufacturing in the US, but poor management can kill any company regardless of the quality of their products.

It is sort of ironic that, even given the US's crazy gun culture, most of the iconic American brands have been acquired (Winchester->FN) by other firms or been diluted to irrelevance (Marlin->Remington).

No, I'm dunking on them for the comparative judgement, that a reason for fewer preterm births might be less-stressed mothers. I think it's very silly to claim that this is lower stress than your typical year just because you don't have to commute.
Ask HN: An alternative to IMDB scores, whats a better way to pick movies?
I like IMDB rating, helps find the best movies easily. But, recently when I decide to watch a movie based on the scores alone, I have been greatly disappointed. Eg. The Joker 2019 movie is highly rated, but its not the movie for me. I don't generally like such sad and mind-fuck kind of movies.

Has anyone thought about this? I would like to create a new movie rating system, that will be easy to pick the right movies.
Unless you're vertically integrated, manufacturing is incredibly difficult to make money from. The traditional South Asian/East Asian medium sized manufacturer is run by people who put in outsized efforts to the returns. The margins are razor thin in most units, and the competition cut-throat. The units simply won't make money if they're delegated to MBA types, because the true cost of managing the unit is much much higher.

It's actually the perfect small/medium business endeavor in developing countries because of the labor cost arbitrage and economic opportunity. But a typical college educated American entrepreneur will not find it appealing, compared to starting a tech business or running a services business.

Tufte is underappreciated for sure. He's often aped, but rarely do I see his ideas actually applied as he teaches them. The whole point is a theory and practice of communication. Before he gave up and decided to just focus on sculpture he was almost to the point of actually developing a solid theory of representing 5-6 dimensional information representation in 2space. Of course I understand why he gave up, because 3space is way more interesting when you've solved the 2space problem to your own satisfaction.
Op - loved the write up. Thanks. I would summarize slightly differently. At offices the first thing sorted out is inclusion. Who's invited to meetings or lunch and who's not. And who does the inviting. Next is control. Who's told what to do and who had to do it i.e. some of what's discussed here. The last thing that's done --- and in fact almost never is really ever fixed at an organization is openness. There's a lot of games, bs, withholding, playing at deception sales and marketing BS and the like. As the Op rightly says ... Its not consequence free because there's a reckoning eventually. From smarter people than I .. I learned the pca (primary component analysis) of most behavior is inclusion, control, openness. I've found it quite useful. The main reason openness is tough is self defense. Because of office politics and numerous other factors being honest early and often is seen as too risky. Its a greedy form of self protection.

I was a bit taken aback at first, too, but then I realised heart attack symptoms fall on a continuous scale, and sometimes people don't even know they had a cardiovascular event. Smaller ones that mainly cause a lot of discomfort but then go away might be ignored now when they shouldn't be. Pure speculation, of course.
