> When you make housing an investment, by definition, it has to become less affordable in the future.

It doesn't have to. Even if it just matches inflation you could call it an investment. If it keeps up with wage growth, that's a pretty good investment that doesn't force it to become less affordable. Or it could be somewhere in between, and then housing would be a reasonable investment and increasingly affordable over time.

The issue isn't that it's an investment at all, it's that it's much too good of an investment for multiple reasons.
This reminds me of what I heard of buses on Madagascar. A bus leaves not at specific time, but when it's full.

Maybe we attach too much importance to the saying "time is money"? It can be money, but there are other approaches.
EMTs and teachers make more than minimum wage. teachers even got the summers off. Many teachers I know take summer jobs.
I'll save you a click: people with below median income cannot afford median two bedroom housing. I don't really see how this logically could not be true, unless minimum wage was the median income or rent was commodified.

The feud is alluded to in the article. The broad summary is that Wilson had the temerity to devote the final chapter of Sociobiology, a book that pretty much launched the field of evolutionary study of animal behaviour, to humans. Lewontin and Gould - among others - had ideological objections to this, resulting in a vicious personal persecution of Wilson that stretched over decades. This is all very well documented, but to appreciate the sheer unfairness of the way Lewontin prosecuted his vendetta you have to hunt down Wilson's accounts of the affair in books like "Naturalist". It's very hard to come away from it without having your opinion of both Lewontin and Gould soured.

I believe IE was bundled starting with OS 8 or 9. (definitely 9, but might have started with 8) The document explains a lot of the 'gushing' Steve Jobs was doing about IE around that time. Sounds like there was at least a handshake agreement to push IE hard on Apple's side which they definitely did. (i.e. this goes beyond the previously published agreements re: bundling it etc as Steve in particular was really doing a hard sell on IE to Mac users at the time at a couple of events)

The document is also interesting as it helps explain why ClarisWorks died on the vine the way it did. I remember filing a bug report on a years old problem around that time for a family member which Apple never did fix, or anything else, in ClarisWorks until they eventually abandoned it completely years later. Too bad, it was a nice user-friendly, entry-level productivity suite.
I mean, based on the timing it seems like he sold an ITM option as opposed to selling the stock for the optics. That said, he expected the option to exercise and just wanted to muddy the waters.

You could rephrase it in your head as "single parent minimum wage worker can't afford housing" if it helps.
Construction cost is only a fraction of the housing cost. The majority of the cost is for the location, which is unique and limited. That location cost is something technology can hardly help reduce. There are not many places that offer safe neighborhood s, good career opportunities, diverse cuisine, and sunshine year round like the Bay Area for example. That's regardless of technology advances.

I get the same feeling as dublin. Theory: vertical is one-handed, definitely never two. Pushing is therefore weak. And to push it means you're going to increasingly wedge your own hand in between the handle and door as you go. Ouch!

Horizontal: two hands is invited and you know viscerally that you're stronger that way so you don't even consider using one. Pulling this backwards would be strange since you'd have to walk yourself backwards even though you want to go forward. Plus you can't go straight backwards or you'd have to let go with one hand, so you'd have to go at an arc and end up having to run around the door you just pulled out to go through.

I think our bodies understand those things subconsciously in about 300 ms.

For some folks part of the motivation for getting outdoors is to escape the ills of modern life, and one of those ills is consumerism. As outdoor sports/recreation has turned into a fairly large and profitable industry, for those of us who are not a fan of the commercialization side of things, it has become increasingly difficult to ignore/escape. Trails are packed with folks in shiny new gear, outdoor media is filled with ads, etc...

I by no means begrudge someone who enjoys geeking out about gear. I occasionally indulge. But for the most part I like to get my equipment as hand me downs or on craigslist. And I try to keep that equipment running as long as possible. I find that repairing stuff scratches my engineering itch and that going minimalist with gear helps me focus on the experience more.
Yes, in fact there were two different recalls, announced within days of each other, that both led to that result:

1. An electrical short can cause the parts within the PCV valve to melt, increasing the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is not in use.

2. Wiring that overheats could cause the electrical connectors to melt, and increase the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is unattended.

When you consider how wages have stagnated and also many of the kinds of the then Middle-class jobs which didn't require specific (higher) education but had serious potential for advancement via on-the-job training (Manufacturing) were almost entirely offshored it isn't that hard to understand.

It is hard to get a well paying job without education. It is hard to afford education without a well paying job. The places with the most jobs, especially low-paying entry level jobs are quite often the most expensive places to live (cities). The cost of living is highly variable depending on where you are in the country, but only in the last few years have states/municipalities worked to try and close the gap in minimum wages so that people who work there can afford to live there.
The population is growing over time, so housing and land appreciate because demand and scarcity increase.

“Hire more people, not just to build, but to wrangle complexity”

I don’t think so. Hire fewer people, who are all very competent and value simplicity and clarity, and then don’t bog down their time unnecessarily with meetings and “ceremonies” and stupid distractions.
Bret Deveraux is a PHD historian and a critic of Pressfield. He picks apart his argument for "universal warrior" and concludes it has an ideology behind it. The ideology is fascism.

This article specifically mentions Gates of Fire.
A data centers business model is to protect customers from things like physical phishing attacks, like someone showing up from the “fire department” demanding access.

It would then go to follow that the staff are highly cognizant of things like phishing attacks, which is one of the ways ransomware propagates.

The data center doesn’t just have to worry about ransomware just because they can get locked out of their business software, worse yet an attacker could simply approve themselves for physical access and gain access to all the tenants machines by proxy, so there is a lot motivating the data center to proactively mitigate this stuff.
What do you mean? I thought it was normal for a single person to work minimum wage and rent a two bedroom apartment for themselves for 30% or their income.
Or you could rephrase it as "made up numbers reinforce the made up fact that minimum wage workers can't afford to live anywhere in the us despite all facts to the contrary"...

The only way to read it as a bullshit headline is if you believe living day-to-day is acceptable. There is a reason why they use housing as 30% of income as a baseline: without meeting that baseline, it is difficult to cover other necessary expenses and save money. Savings are important since the lack of them means a loss of work could very well result in a loss of housing.

The "contrived collision tests" are actual, standardized, government monitored collision tests, with verifiable results. Your "actual data of people driving the car" is not from the period when these claims were made. Again, the vast majority of early model Pintos produced that had not already combusted had at that point already been recalled.

The Rutgers report is about the lawsuit, not the safety of the automobile, as mentioned. It's also just an opinion piece. Though it does cite some data!

Can you check the PDF? Upon its publication the Pinto accounted for 1.9% of vehicles on the road, 1.9% of vehicles involved in fatalities, and 4.1% of vehicles involved in fatalities involving rear impact. So maybe the Pinto was actually overall a pretty safe car! Except for exploding upon rear impact. Which is, you know, the defect in question.
Pretty sure I heard on HN relatively recently that your contract with Google basically explicitly states that any code you write while you work there is considered theirs and they don't distinguish between personal and professional projects. I was surprised to hear this as well (so I'm not asserting that I know this for a fact) but the person who posted this was very explicit that it was true.

So if it is true, then maybe any software engineer that writes some interesting web app trinket who works for Google could have this happen to them. I'm sure the coder who made the above app will show up in these comments in the next couple hours or so lol.

This is historically false. In the US, the minimum wage was enacted during the Great Depression to put a limit on how low wages could go. In Parrish of West Coast Hotel v Parrish was a married woman. The Fair Labor Standards act of 1938 (passed after the court found a prior law unconstitutional) restricted the labor of people under 18 and gave pay raises to more than half a million American adults. The goal was to raise the wages of working adults. Please offer some hard evidence that the minimum wage is intended only for teenagers.

Yeah, a few times I've tried to prune my collection of photos/ripped-mp3s/movies/whatever. I've always given up after I'm 1 hour in and still have like 98% of the collection to go.

It is kinda like how the old Yahoo-organized-like-a-library died out in favor of the Google-just-search-everything approach. Unless you're triaging as you go (which still takes tons of time; do people really go through 1,000 photos after their 3 week holiday to Iceland and keep just the 15-20 best?) it is easy to build up an insurmountable backlog where the only viable option is just "delete everything".

I actually did that with my old collection of ripped-from-CD mp3s and just resigned myself to streaming anything I really cared about. But you can't exactly do that with "family photos".

> Assumes minimum wage workers should not have to get by with a single bedroom and a couch in their own place.

I suppose we could have a discussion there. One bedroom is probably okay for one person, but we need to look at what happens when two adults try to have a child on full time minimum wage employment.

> Assumes minimum wage workers should not have to spend more than 30% of their income on housing.

A minimum wage worker is going to be the most squeezed by the costs of healthcare and food and transportation. So yeah I think that 30% rule needs to apply.

I too find that weird. I don't expect Twitter to act in any particular way. My expectation is that my government doesn't act irresponsibly.
Do they not want the solution or are you solving the wrong problem?

Is speed to hire the problem? If so, who specifically is it a problem for?

I don’t know the space (technical hiring) at all. But I do hiring for a small marketing agency and I don’t care at all about speed to hire. I’ve had roles filled by the first applicant and roles that took months (same job btw) to fill. I want to be sure I hire the right person when they come along and I don’t care how long it takes.

Of course, this doesn’t make me the ideal audience for your idea, but who is? And is their problem speed to hire? Why is that the problem you think they’ll pay to solve?
You’re assuming that minimum wage workers aren’t supposed to have families that they provide for. Are they just supposed to leave kids on a couch?
You can totally have 51% at minimum wage and 49% at infinite wage. The incompatibility isn't mathematical.
Remote work is often more isolating and lonely for workers, I don't see how it's a "less lonely arrangement". If anything, tech's resistance of remote work is the struggle to preserve America's last community: the workplace. Friendships born in the workplace are a staple of urban life, it's one of the few places left where you can regularly and guaranteedly meet with people. Remote workers will still find themselves surrounded by strangers when they arrive at the cheap city they were incentivized to move into, but this time they'll have one less place to socialize.
No, it’s a rule of thumb, for average middle class people.

Minimum wage is not intended to support a family in a 2 bed apartment. People need to factor in cost of living when making decisions like having a family. The unfortunate reality is we already have too many people for the Earth to sustain. The population can’t keep growing.
Why is this on hacker news? Someone report this nonsense
> It is hard to get a well paying job without education.

Absolutely not true. This is a dangerous myth that has gotten people stuck with worthless liberal arts degrees and $xxx,xxx in student debt. You can make a very decent wage with a trade skill (plumber, electrician, HVAC technician, etc.) Starting out, for most of these jobs, all you need to do at first is merely "show up."

I say this as someone that deeply values education, and I myself have one of those "worthless" liberal arts degrees. But the difference is that I went to school as a way to become a more well-rounded person, I already had a skill prior to going to school, and I also had a full academic scholarship that I was able to maintain due to good grades.

Well it's definitely not a living wage if you can't have a child.
Its not just the investment side - although that's part...

When the government throws tons of money at it? Housing is funded by a lot of government money for "affordable housing" and the like.

As with ANYTHING the government throws money at? Supply goes down and prices go up. For other references on increased price, worse results? Look at school, daycare, health insurance... amazing how bad government help screws everything up.

"basic need" supply and demand... when there's only x amount and there are x+more wanting it? the price will go up... either you increase the supply or decrease the demand.

It's a strange world we live in where people think labeling things as anything removes the supply/demand dynamic and the ability of the government to screw things up "in the name of the good"

That makes absolutely no sense. Of course minimum wage expands to mean "the minimum wage that some entry-level person should be required to receive." Entry level means young. That's exactly who the law should be for.

After entry level, it's up to the individual to level up and improve their employability and work their way up. At least that's the way it used to work, and boy did it work. Nowadays everyone wants the payday without having to put in the effort.
It's not a nice side note. Whether you can afford children or not can change (and permanently) from one day to the next. And you can't rely on the safety net being there - there's lots of situations where that fails.

I know what you mean. What I've seen is that many people, myself included, fear retribution for talking about politics - even things we deeply believe to be true.

I think that, plus social norms and moderation, help to have thoughtful and honest engagement moreso than in other venues. I have not seen this to be the case when real identities are used to talk politics but if you've seen so please let me know.
What seems much more likely to me is that the Japanese government and the Japanese management of Nissan felt they had a right to controlling ownership of Nissan after that had been purchased and turned around by Ghosn. In the circumstance, if that's what they wanted, then they should have bought it back rather than setting up a kangaroo court.

I suspect from now on companies with subsidiaries in Japan will be sure their top level meetings don't take place on Japanese soil.
