Good question. I think everyone in my house and on my commute would have no choice, and the people at work would be cool with it if I did it for a day. I don't need the whole day for it to be useful as a record of my life--just a short summary of my day would be cool.
The most utterly evil profit maximizing business would always prefer that the government mandated minimum wage is somewhere near what they pay their lowest paid employees.

How so? Costco in this case has always benefited from a happier, more loyal, consistent workforce because they have a job that many other service workers actually strive for. I fail to understand how reducing the advantage of their position helps maximize their profit.
But the libertarians don't see it like that. If we give poor people $9, they'll want $25, $100, and then $1000/hour. There is no point in arguing a rise to $9/hour, so use straw man to make the argument against stronger!

I like min wage increases vs EITC. A min wage increase pushes up the value of human labor, giving more incentive to innovate and automate, which is where we should be heading anyways. It's actually a hard love approach.
You could use StrangeLoop to do that.
My thinking also, as long as the minimum wage doesn't cross $11.50 it has no effect on Costco and would just be raising other competitors costs who do pay minimum wage to some employees.
Basically yes. I'm sure it would be possible to do a good study but very expensive. Although if the potential upside is increasing the productivity of an entire industry maybe it's worth doing.
Money is just paper. It's a convenient way to exchange labor for goods in an asynchronous way. Raising the minimum wage, simply means you have to produce more paper for the same amount of labor. It doesn't change anything except temporarily.

If raising the minimum wage made any difference, McDonalds would be 5-star restaurant by now.
To have software involved with the suspension requires an active suspension, which was rare in 1997. Mercedes added an electronic stability system only after the Moose test failed, so I don't think it was a software problem in the first place (rather software fixed the problem).
I see what you mean - yes, I think we can all benefit from honest measurements and systems thinking.

I have a glimmer of hope for you - the internal processs of a company today are opaque - deeply dependant on implicit knowledge and changing political patterns.

As we see technology replacing White collar workers, more of internal processes will be explicit, automated, coded. And so amenable to hooking up to simulations - at some point you can reliably simulate your internal company - and at that point you can experiment.

A/B test your internal processes and schumpter will allow deeming in through the back door
The iMac isn't a developer machine. It looks on paper like a developer machine, but when put to the test of compiling large C/C++ projects day in day out it fails. We see more failures in iMacs than any other desktop we have at work. Way more hdd failure and gpu failure than our dells or other mac machines.
That's certainly a quasi-religious position of the Boston school; unfortunately, it doesn't appear to jibe too well with reality: http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/min-wage-2013-02.... for example.
I am glad that is possible (and tempted to do it at home every time I go to plug in a thunderbolt device into my Mac Pro, and then have to go oh yeah, god dammit...) it is not just not 'apple approved' it is not legal.

In most normal business environments where obeying the law is a required practice and bootlegging software is not allowed, building a hackintosh isn't a solution.
assuredly why? is rental pricing competition purely cost-driven?

Since rental units don't have much marginal cost, that seems unlikely -- They are capital investments, financed by mortgages or owned outright.
A great list. I've been sending this to people with the disclaimer "half of the rules are about software development in general, so go ahead and read it anyway."

Are you saying Hackintoshes are known to sometimes generate executables that differ from those made by real Macs? That seems really unlikely to me.
Bosses don't "give" employees raises? Let's not argue semantics.

Using your line of reasoning it doesn't actually matter whether the rise in wages is "artificial" or not, your argument is simply "wage rises will not help" As a former recipient of wage rises I have anecdotal evidence that they do. :)

Economies are complex systems looking at one aspect of them in isolation and thinking you can apply a high school level understanding of supply and demand and come up with any substantive insight is frankly misguided.

Also, Henry Ford disagrees with you.

True, but in order to do that you have to know what the new random variations are. Output from existing sequencers, as well as the current crop of algorithms, are not good enough to do that with high confidence. Thus, people tend to keep everything. You can get some gain by doing reference-based compression, but you're still looking at on the order of 100s of gb per sample.

I'm not quite understanding this. How does getting handed a .psd template help me make the app? Is this simply one possible alternative to the stock UIKit skin that's been packaged up as an idea to reuse? (Like Bootstrap, if Bootstrap was just a Photoshop document instead of usable CSS/HTML?)
> This seems to be a massive PR blunder for the LV guys. They could have put up a blog post enumerating how many of their (and others') designs were ripped off (which is not the same thing as copyright infringement) and probably garnered some internet sympathy. Now, by misusing the much-hated DMCA takedown notice they've positioned themselves in the same camp with all the DMCA bullies we have grown to loathe.

Maybe I've had my head in the sand for far too long, but I had never heard of LayerVault until today, and I know them now for all the wrong reasons.

I find it somewhat silly that no matter what trend you follow, someone will always be there, waiting to pounce.

This isn't the mid 2000's, "First" posts were childish back then, and "First" claims are the same now.

...and seriously at the colour schemes. The flat colour trend is basically the same as a new art movement (it's only pastel colours made more vibrant). I predict that with the current trend being Real -> Flat, the next phase will be a new form of Pointillism.

If we really wanted to be picky, you could draw comparisons between the way that LV do human faces (see bottom of the Tour page) and the old Mac OS logo.

It does have an effect in Australia I think. Many places would rather hire a group of casuals under 18 to cover 1 full time person. They can pay young people youth wages which are well under the minimum wage.

Whether that is a bad thing or not I don't know.
Not to mention, supporting any more than a few Hackintosh machines would be a nightmare for any serious organisation.
Minimum wage hike is a winner for Walmart. Walmart employees are among the most productive in retail, Walmart has low labor cost/unit of sales.

Their customers are low earners, so if their wages increase, that helps Walmart.

Mostly, it helps Walmart because that small store in the little shopping district half an hour or an hour from the nearest Walmart will have a harder time staying in business.

Indexing the minimum wage to inflation is a particularly bad idea, if there is ever a big supply shock and stagflation, you'll get a big increase in the minimum wage at the wrong time, when people and companies are struggling to avoid layoffs.

Twitter rebuilding Google's parallel powerhouse Borg: Mesos

The heck was " every job does not need to support a family" - but my contention is that unemployment is now structural - so every job will be contended for by someone who does need to support a family, and will be presumably more experienced, better qualified etc, than the student.

In which case the student, or working mum, or immigrant family will usually lose out to the better qualified candidate.

I agree that minimum wages rises cost jobs.

But The jobs are going anyway - software is eating the jobs as well as the world.

There will not be enough jobs to go round. And as jobs are the current way to spread wealth creation, we need to Find ways other than jobs to distribute wealth.

How to do that I do not know - but we have to get out of a cycle of thinking full employment is the answer.

My suggestion is that raisng the minimum wage hard will sweep away the jobs at the margin, clear out the weaker companies and business models that depend on subsidised labour and force us to deal with the problems head on, a situation that usually leads to cleaner and more effective solutions.

But that is a political decision for each country - Sweden will take a different approach to the problem than Dubai or USA. But we all face the same problem.

It's simple fallacious logic

FTFY. I don't normally do this, but since you are relying on classic straw man for your argument, I thought I might as well make it obvious that your whole argument is suspect logically.
Except that for a lot of businesses, it's actually that any dollars an employer does not give to his employees, it keeps as profit. Then maybe it pays that out as dividends, but those mainly go to rich people who are likely to reinvest them rather than immediately spending them, because that small increase in dividend receipts doesn't make a huge difference on their overall financial situation.

Whereas extra dollars going to a minimum wage earner will almost entirely be spent, because people that poor tend to spend nearly all of their income.

It's the same reason why tax cuts to the poor are more stimulative than those to the rich.
When compressed relative to a reference genome, you can get a ~2.9Gbp human genome down to ~3.3MiB of data[1]. Sequences are actually pretty compressible in general, owing to conservation of functional domains and repeats.

Data from next-gen sequencers have many small overlapping segments though, so the raw output takes up MUCH more space.

By the way, for anyone looking for more information about some of the methods currently being used for sequencing (Illumina, 454), check out these videos from the WUSTL Genome Center:

http://gep.wustl.edu/curriculum/course_materials_WU/introduc...

It does not show up as just one thing.

There are several 'wonder' cancer drugs for example that came from analyzing DNA and people know to use them by doing DNA sequencing. It's also helped 'cure' several rare but debilitating diseases. Honestly, it's rapidly approaching the value of antibiotics which clearly was a major revolution.

Anyway, the reason why full DNA sequencing is so important has a lot to do with research. When you know what some sequence does then you can look for that. But, being able to build a database of say 100,000 peoples full DNA sequence for say a billion or less let's you look for those sequences far more easily.

No, "free range" is a classification in Sweden with rules and cages are not allowed in those.

"free range indoors" means large stables, no cages, multiple levels and a maximum of 9 hens per m^2.

"free range indoors and outdoors" is the same as indoors, but with the addition of an outside yard with at least 4m^2 per hen.

Battery cages were banned in 1988, but cages are still allowed. max 13 hens per m^2 and max 16 hens per cage, and there needs to be a nesting area.

So it's not all crap, but the day when we can synthesize food cannot come fast enough.
The Tragedy of the Re-Auth
There is no need to bootleg any software and no it is not 'Illegal'. You can and should buy a copy of OSX which you can do on the app store without much issue. It is however, against the 'terms of service' which is not a legal issue but one of support / danger of being 'cut off' by an update.

That said, keep in mind that much of the work done to allow this is done by people disenfranchised by Apple's lack of a decent, upgradable, 'pro' model. In other words your often being supported by people in the same position as you.
The hiring process and job market is a small but not insignificant part of why my life goal is be to be my own employer. I don't like to be at the mercy of interviewers and be judged by how I perform whiteboard coding in an extremely stressful situation.

People say this all the time, but is an interview really more stressful than starting your own company? You impress a few interviewers with a bit of code on a whiteboard that you reviewed the afternoon before. Big deal. How is that any more stressful than having to impress generally much larger groups of people to give you money?

Stressful is putting in months of work and still not making it. Stressful is worrying that your latest update is going to piss off your best customer or mess up a possible upcoming sale. Stressful is seeing a deadline that has to be met in order to get the next sale done. I could go on. I guess what I'm saying is that if a whiteboard coding session stresses you out then you're going to have a tough time being your own employer.

It's all about perspective, and frankly a whiteboard coding session sounds like a good time at this point.

The A class didn't have active suspension. I believe it was a mechanical issue and solved with a stiffer front anti-roll bar and other suspension geometry tweak. Though there is a possibility the ESP was tweaked to apply the brake under such circumstances I think that could do more harm than good. I could be wrong, it was 1997..
IIRC the non-ESP MB Sprinter also had stability issues.
Because their profit margins remained unaffected by the change but their competitors already razor thin margins get significantly reduced.
No, it's not. This is just straw man reasoning that doesn't belong on HN. Obviously, it's not a smooth linear curve, so a raise to $10/hour is not just a weaker form of a raise to $1000 hour. One is healthy and the other wrecks the economy. There is not an inflection point, only a straw man here.
No bullocks. The Mac Pro introduced at WWDC last year was the most pathetic upgrade since the Mac Pro's debut. It's not just the CPU.

The "Pro" not only lacks Thunderbolt, it doesn't even have USB 3!

In fact the only port that my brand new retina Mac laptop and my Mac Pro have in common is the headphone jack.

I even need a new one -- but I just can't. I would feel like such a jerk if I bought the lame-ass Mac Pro that Apple's offering. (However, IIRC from his now-defunt podcast, after bitching just like I am doing, Arment eventually did just grit his teeth and buy one.)

Even if it were allowed, it would not be supported by the vendor in terms of warranty support. when you're a 27x7 org, you don't need excuses from vendors as to why your setup is not a supported configuration.

You can always disable auto-focus on the client side if you don't like it. I have 'focuscontent' set in Vimperator which will "Focus the content after a page has loaded.

I guess the point is that, as the min wage grows, certain considerations that were not viable before become viable now, and as a consequence people who otherwise may have been considered for a job would no more, or would lose the job, or the job itself would disappear.

My feelings exactly. The same topological rules apply. I wonder what happens if you throw this game at an autorouter? :)
