>> If your business model is so thin that 3 dollars cripples you, really you need to re-think

well... that really depends on economy of scale I would say.

Wal Mart has 2.2 million employees[1]. Lets assume 1 million of them are min-wage workers (assuming bottom rung has a high turnover, I think this might be conservative) Suddenly that $3/hr becomes $3 milllion/hr. Lets say the average worker works 30hrs/week, and suddenly this "$3" change from a $7 to $10 min-wage is costing Wal Mart 90 mil a week, over 4.5 billion a year! And eating 20% of your profit.

This is an ideal problem for constraint solving. If there is one thing constraint solving does well it is make NP-Hard problems more manageable. I wrote up a quick solution to the first puzzle in sabr (1), you can see what the puzzle result looks like here (2). The key insight is: "each color must be surrounded by exactly two of its color, unless it is on an end, in which case it is surrounded by exactly one" after that it's just a matter of coding it up. It's not much extra work to go from here to a generator, which I may make later if I have time. Cool puzzle game, I like it ;D.

Instead, they're just going ahead and doing it, and it needed to be done, and I applaud them for it. I'll probably go, and I won't forget MIT's role in this tragedy, but I'll still be thankful the event is happening.

Ask HN: What should be on the landing page of a new product?
Should a web app's landing page be more like Twitter (minimal with login and register forms right there) or should a landing page contain a description of the product and a listing of services?
Funny you should say that, considering the number of experienced coders who have a different opinion. I'm not arguing for no comments at all (especially regarding non-obvious things), but most of your code should be self-documenting, assuming sufficient domain-level knowledge from the reader. If it's self-documenting, comments are redundant.

Nothing, but some feel rather strongly averse to it, and plainly view this as Angular's self-evident fatal flaw. As I said I do not subscribe to this line of thinking. My allusion to the horror and barbarism of the pre-JS MVC was merely a jape.
That's the one, bingo. It was a new line of smaller MBs, so I misremembered it being Smart. The issue though was most certainly with the software overcompensating the roll in the wrong direction. I would've not remembered it otherwise :)
Increase demand for what? Chinese goods of course, purchased at Costco and Walmart and Target.

How does exporting higher profits to China help America exactly?

I suppose the theory is: pay American service workers more, so that they can buy more Chinese goods, so China can become wealthier and build more factories and employ more production jobs, while America gets poorer by continuing to expand its service sector (consumption jobs). Interesting theory.

A quick Google search found a handful of links to empirical research supporting that idea.

Specifically: The authors examine 23 years of household spending data and find that for every dollar increase for a minimum wage worker results in $2,800 in new consumer spending by his or her household over the following year

I fail to see how you not expecting your question to be answered makes it somehow more relevant. It is still simply belligerent criticism without any reasonable justification or explanation. If you were planning to follow up with something later on you could easily have cut out the middleman.

But you are right when you say that this discussion is way off topic, so I'll probably leave it at this. Nice seeing ya.
What happens when you want to add a second, unrelated, thing? Just stick it on the end in the onclick? Create a new function called doTwoThings()? This is one of the reasons I prefer using an observer pattern over MVC.

I have no idea why I would pay for this over the free, amazing Google service I already have. I don't care that an algorithm scrapes my data, and I love that I get email transcriptions of voicemails. Someone enlighten me.

Edit: Actually, the only thing I can think of that Google Voice doesn't do for me is international text messages.
You anycast the dns servers and anycast the results the dns servers serve up. This is kinda confusing, but all it is really is announcing your (same) IP block at every datacenter and relying (maybe selling/) on bgp AS path selection as the app to get traffic to the closest datacenter.
A bit more than I'd want to pay for this.

I like the idea of Google Voice competitors though because while I use and like Google Voice a lot, the service seems pretty much stagnant these days. Like it works okay, but Google doesn't seem to be investing much into it in terms of adding new features or fixing long-standing problems.
Yes, but it is neigh impossible to migrate from say Python to C, a copy-paste into an entirely different project, and from there via Java to C# and keep history. That may be a stretch, but even one such step will almost certainly lose history.

So those are some pretty bad decisions coming from statistical analysis; I wonder if you think that those people (the marketing group in particular) would make good decisions generally? It seems like some people are hell-bent on making bad decisions regardless of the tools available to them.

But, yeah, you hand some people a spreadsheet with numbers in it and their critical thinking ability just evaporates.

As an aside, that's not what I meant by "reliable" earlier (and, to be really specific, I agree that low p-values do not ensure reliability even w/out the other problems introduced by that particular model search).

That's my point. Obviously, increasing the minimum wage to $1000 is ridiculous. But so is the idea that raising the minimum wage by $1 has no consequence, as some claim. The higher cost you impose on employers for low skill jobs, the more likely it will be that employers will attempt to hire fewer of those workers or reject unskilled candidates. It's simple logic.

For instance, the hamburger-making machine will replace teenagers who need a job at McDonald's. [1] Why wouldn't an employer just purchase a machine that will reduce costs, create a consistent product, and not call in sick if it can do so at an equivalent or lower cost than an unskilled teen who would be required to earn $10 or $12 an hour?

One interesting takeaway I had from this experience is that it's really a combination of many failures in the user experience that makes this such a frustrating experience. Had there been but one or two pitfalls along the way it probably would have gone ok, but instead even as a reader I am left upset about the process and failures here. But thinking about their developers, it was probably many different people or even many different teams that worked on each part of this, and are all probably unaware of each other's failures.

Thus, it's reminds me quite of a bit of the engineering crisis of 1978 for the Citigroup building which only reached crisis levels because of so many combined cut corners and failures together http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citigroup_Center#Engineering_cr...
The other side is that if people see an increase in their pay, they'll have more money to spend (hopefully at Costco).

I'm assuming the original research they're building on is this: http://jamia.bmj.com/content/19/1/79.abstract

And even so, the article (including the original) is behind a paywall as per usual. :/
Individual employers are hiring to make a profit, not to make some collectivist understanding of the economy work out.

Obviously, any dollars an employer does not give to his employees, he gets to spend or his customers get to spend. Those dollars don't disappear into the ether.

There is no increase in overall spending from paying more for a service than it can command in the market place. And no increase in demand.

Technology has been replacing workers since the tractor was introduced around 1900. But unemployment hasn't kept going up because we keep finding new ways to employ people.

But if by some miracle we do finally automate everything minimum wages won't help at all - we're talking about a situation where there's no reason to employ someone in the first place. In that case just tax production and provide everyone a guaranteed minimum income. No need to worry about work disincentives, they weren't working anyways!
Sure, but has LV engaged in this behaviour previously? If they haven't, then I don't think they could be described as patent trolls. Right now they might be engaged in patent trolling, but as my singing example hopefully illustrates, doing something once doesn't make one an active/repetitive doer of that thing. I'm not a singer, and feel that it would be dishonest of anyone to describe me as such. Same goes for LV with patent trolling.

But it's tied together with the requirement to block access on receipt of a takedown notice, which is precisely what gets abused so often. I think this provision is a case of the "cure" being worse than the "disease".

(Btw, I'm not sure how much of a "disease" there would be in the absence of this provision anyway. Internet providers could defend against accusations of copyright infringement by pointing at their terms of use, assuming they were smart enough to have them and make customers agree to them, as pretty much all of them are.)
That's a local effect though (your quote). The money that goes in that workers pocket has to come from somewhere else. Also raising the minimum wage possibly causes some (slight) additional unemployment.

So what's the overall stimulus effect on the economy? Unclear. It appears as if the second study on the page you linked to might try to address it, though it looks to me like more of an advocacy paper than an impartial study. That's just from a quick glance though. I will try to read further.

My overall impression of the minimum wage debate is that it has a very high ratio emotion :: impact. Whatever overall effects it has on the economy appear to be quite small (almost within the noise), and yet it always generates a lot of intense argument. There's lots of signaling going on here I think.

The more time goes on, the more I think maybe a minimum guaranteed income is the solution that makes the most sense. Maybe we should just accept that there isn't going to be enough work for everyone, and that that's going to become more true in the future, not less. And furthermore, maybe we should accept that that's a good thing, as long as we shape our economy accordingly.

I think the way controllers work here is similar to Ruby on Rails? It confused me in Rails at first (coming from the Java world), but I think it is essentially just a hack to allow for "easier" passing of data to the view (the controller gets exposed to the view). So instead of scope.whatever = "hello world" you can write this.whatever = "hello world" (OK not really shorter, but something like that).

That usage of Controllers is not part of the MVC pattern, I'd say. It's just a recycling of the controller instance - not forbidden, just confusing if you wonder what it has to do with MVC.

Actually it's also the RoR way to have short lived controllers (a controller is instantiated for every request), other frameworks use one static controller instance instead.

The main argument against it is that many people loose their jobs when the minimum is raised for those who can't provide that much value to their employers. Any interference with the free market never results in a good thing. Note that the most innovative part of the economy, computers/software, is also the least regulated.
You seem to have missed my entire point. Since there's nothing I could write here other than a repeat of what I wrote earlier, I will instead simply refer to my above comment.
A few months ago I bought a kit from Sparkfun to mess around with. Got everything built only to find out that something was wrong with the FTDI (I couldn't upload new sketches). After a quick e-mail exchange, Sparkfun sent out a whole new board.

For people who don't know much about hardware, that kind of customer service is invaluable. Without it, I could have spent days trying to figure out what was wrong, only to give up in frustration. Instead, I got quick confirmation that there was something wrong with the board and was immediately sent a replacement (at no extra cost).
This is exactly like the pipe game on the Android market / Apple store.
What's the best API for doing Bitcoin transactions from a web app?
I don't think it's nonsense. The things that are wrong with a $1000 minimum wage are the same things that are wrong with a $10 minimum wage. They're just happening to different people.

Setting a $1000 minimum wage would destroy essentially all jobs. There's nothing I or most people could do that's worth that much. Nothing at all. With my job gone, my income is zero and the products and services I contributed to society don't exist. Such a law would make me permanently poor, and would make society incrementally poorer.

This is what I think happens to people whose natural output is below the minimum wage. Because their skills and education justify $6/hr but not $9, they aren't allowed to make that $6. They and society are $6/hr poorer for it.

I believe firmly that people should be allowed to work if they want to, on whatever terms they find agreeable and can get. If you want to help them beyond that, I'm sure they'll think that's swell. But it shouldn't come in the form of destroying their job.
