"many Americans... don't know... Few Americans know this"

"wondering what hollowed out the middle class"

Perhaps the clueless people who don't know anything about what things mean ( the people this article is targeted at ) are the same people who are unemployed/under-employed ( notably also the group this is targeted at )

Summary of tfa: "The number news refers to as unemployment does not mean what you thought it means; it means X" Great, now how does this tell us anything we couldn't learn by looking up "unemployment rate" on wikipedia?
The first four years of college is what you make of them. You ultimately get out what you put in.

And ignoring that, you also cannot make blanket statements like this... there's an incredible amount of variability in four year programs. I can tell you my BSc CS degree was well earned...
Yep, submit an article!

I know TDD has been discussed to death. However, I disagree completely with TDD encouraging creativity and material exploration. In my opinion, small, iterative increments are much more useful. Creating a test puts a tight box around how you assume (without any experimentation) an interface should work. As opposed to a tiny iteration to learn about how it could work. Then writing a test after for that tiny bit. Finally, moving on and refactoring with the test in hand.
Probably none. The Earth's core is hotter than the surface and the surface temperature of the crust basically reflects the average atmospheric temperature.

Up north in the US the average ground temperature is maybe 40F at 10ft down (which is why there are basements up north, to get below the frost line) but here in Texas the average ground temperature is about 70F. At the equator it's probably more like 90-100F.

Given that Venus' atmosphere is so hot it seems likely that the deeper you go the hotter it gets.
Its almost like manual labour is not the way of the future in capitalistic society. If only we had some prior knowledge, some warning, some book to guide us to this truth. oh wait, there was this little thing 150 years ago called Das Kapital.
setting up a Ubiquiti UniFi is an enterprise level product, with all the complexity that implies.

The many positive Amazon reviews seem to suggest otherwise.

Here's a sampling:

"This was very easy to install and configure and has great coverage in our 3,500 sq ft home."

"As a tech savvy, but non-technically trained individual - this WAP was extremely easy to configure and provides exceptional wireless range and speed."

"I can't say enough how simple the installation process on these has been..."

Note, however, that the Java Runtime Environment is required to configure the software. I guess the dream of the 90s is alive at Ubiquiti.
It includes 25-54. Currently the age of retirement for full Social Security benefits is 67. Seems likely that they're missing a large chunk of Baby Boomers that are working longer.
I agree with (both of) you.

How might I contribute to making Basic Income happen? I've been seeing more and more people talk seriously about it, which seems like a great sign, but perhaps not enough to change anything. Are there any advocacy efforts I could donate to?
Opera and IE support MHTML (MIME HTML), it seems to work alright
You can get a lot out of a degree program if you try. It takes effort on your part not just the school's. As someone who is currently working on a SECOND bachelor's in CS (my first one was an economics), I can honestly say I'm learning way more than I ever did the first time around. I'm also learning way more than I possibly could on my own. I'm becoming a well rounded programmer. Instead of pigeonholing myself as self taught RoR or iOS dev, I'm learning the proper foundations needed to do more or less anything in the field. Combined with the effort I'm putting in my own side projects, I truly believe that the value of this education has been worth every penny.

To be fair, I actually had this exact same sentiment about college before I enrolled in the CS program. I really didn't put in more than the absolute minimum effort towards my Econ degree. At the time, I was focused on just getting the piece of paper; I waved my hand at the resources available to me.

The difference in maturity between then and now is also a factor. I almost feel as if I would have been better off taking a few years off between high school and undergrad. I would have had the maturity to appreciate all that a University offers.
Save-As writing bunch of resources, that when loaded back into the browser might even be broken by lack of external resources are also, in my oppinion, a bad way to keep evidence (e.g. CYA). If you need it to persuade a non-computer-savvy person of something stated on a website, I'd say a bunch of random files in a directory is also much less convincing than a "printed-to" pdf, or screenshots you can easily mail around.

Regarding the .webarchive, I think IE supports another type of "web archive", with a .mht ending.

Economics student here.

One reason Economists are interested in Unemployment is because when it reaches a certain level it puts pressure on prices through upwards wage pressure (fewer people looking for work means employers need to pay more.) Defining Unemployment narrowly as only those actively looking for work and recently unemployed provides for a statistic best measures the labor market's functioning.

As others have noted, there are many other statistics that are collected which can elucidate social concerns.
I've found that whenever anybody gets a burr up their ass over some minor grammatical point, they almost never know what they're actually talking about, have not even the most cursory understanding of language or grammar and have instead built some foundation of their identity on a rule they wrote memorized and see anything that goes against that rule as a violation of their self-image.

I'm pretty sure it said it was "the" most popular before, hence the replies, but I could be wrong.
I would be very interested in knowing the history / politics / whatever of how U3 became the "official" measure, what that really means, and what the arguments are for and against its continued use.

For instance, most people (the vast majority, anecdotally) don't have any idea that there are multiple measures, and what the one they always hear about does and doesn't include. I've never heard the terms U3, etc. used on the television news or seen them on the front page of the NYT. Why is that? I doubt it's some conspiracy, but I'm genuinely curious how we got here, why we're still here, and whether we should instead be somewhere else.
Not every idea will scale for everyone. Especially dropping out to make iPhone apps. But overall paths to affording college do scale. Community College scales. Turns out they open more branches when the student population fills up.

Your two friends in your same program are, 1) going to agree with you 2) from same location / program therefore could have had same disappointing instruction & facilities and don't offer any further example or statistic for a wider population.

Not going to school and deciding to make iPhone apps doesn't scale either. The world NEEDs most people with a good education so they think critically. For example accepting that they may be wrong. You don't like paying money back that you borrowed. You feel unfulfilled or didn't get what you feel you deserved for your money. you feel that NOW. What is this your first job? How much credibility do you think anyone has who has a struggle with finding work and then decides to generalize their experience on the majority of the world?
An introduction to NoFlo and flow-based programming
Yup, fair enough! I have no doubt some degrees have greater value in the economy than others, and god knows management degrees (as an example) have their fair share of detractors, rightly or wrongly.

To me that just means folks need to be more thoughtful about the degree they select... after all, a quality, valuable education isn't something you're simply given, it's something you take.
A perhaps more salient example is one we faced last year: do we switch from Eclipse to IntelliJ? Nearly all of the Java developers we asked preferred IntelliJ. That's ok, no problem ... but we're facing switching 300 people from a free IDE to one that costs several hundred dollars, for internal appdev (not a product company, so all of the above hits the SG&A opex spend ... which the street always wants to be minimal). So, 300x$400, the 150X$400 MSDN subscriptions we have for the MS guys, plus ~1500 MS servers, plus about 300 RHEL servers, plus .... The point is, it all add up, and as Patrick (patio11) has noted several times, large companies much prefer bulk, one time POs to subscriptions. Being able to forecast and accrue for both Capex & Opex is extremely important in many large, thin margin companies, especially ones that are not IT-centric.
Very likely the case. I know that's the case in my place anyway as I have drilled through the walls before.
We already have techcrunch.
Colleges are great in that they offer nice infrastructure that's hard to find elsewhere: amazing libraries, laboratories, possibly, access to people doing research in the area you are interested in...Ultimately, though, everyone has to teach their own selves.
Join Stanford researchers in the largest crowdsourcing research project ever
Some of the hypothetical examples of out-of-work people the author uses are pretty unlikely, and seem intended to cast an artificially wide net for his argument: i.e. engineers and health-care workers and math degree holders probably have lower than average unemployment rates, yet the author paints a picture of them mowing lawns and losing unemployment (i'm not saying it doesn't happen, just that it's unlikely).

In a way, the author is committing the same sin as those he criticizes: he also oversimplifies the employment situation. The unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate vary dramatically by region and by profession (in California alone, compare the Bay Area to the Imperial Valley).

It's much better for some highly skilled individuals, especially in booming metros, and much worse for others, who are in either low skilled, or in regions experiencing secular decline.

Also, Gallup's own underemployment numbers (cited in the article) show both the unemployment rate and the underemployment rate at 7.1% and 15.9%, which is lower than where they were in Feb 2010, and that it is almost certainly lower than what they were in the depths of the great recession.

Nobody would argue that these stats aren't as good as they should be, but to say that things haven't improved at all is very disingenuous, which is why this reads more like political anger-rousing article than a well-reasoned op/ed. The latter isn't surprising considering that the first rumbles of the next presidential election cycle are here.

EDIT:wording
I hate to follow the HN stereotype, but I have to agree with you.
That could be it. It's certainly what a lot of people are trying right now.

One big problem with it is that it's such a cheap target for PR. It's cheaper to build an "artisan trademark" that people associate with quality in other ways than to actually sell high quality products. And even if you do manage it the hard way, your trademark would become a very valuable acquisition target, with obvious consequences.

>> (1) Project Management is painful and the existing providers still don't fully grasp what the market needs/wants

PM is painful, but I think existing providers do grasp what _their_ markets need/want. There is no such thing as one PM tool for everyone.

The reason why there is a proliferation of PM tools -- and why many vendors survive-- is that they tend to cater to different needs and audiences.
>You're just attacking people for showing vulnerability.

These missives never simply say "sometimes I feel like an impostor". They invariably mention the whole Dunning-Kruger effect, and invariably claim that this self-doubt is because one has achieved such heights of knowledge that they've gained full awareness of all the things they don't know. It always turns this so-called vulnerability into some sort of heightened awareness.

I'm not "attacking" anyone in any case. I'm pointing out that this is a bit of a trend right now to show ones enlightenment by claiming one's vulnerability.
Ha, I came here to make the same comment. Anyone who writes about the misleading nature of U3 without describing U6 exists, is a BLS reported figure, and that there is no prefect definition of "unemployed" is a hack.

There is plenty of bad reporting out there (including "analysis" from political talking heads that don't know the difference between U3 and U6), but U3 is like the snow forcasts for NY last week. If you don't care to look beyond the surface level, don't be surprised when a wide-breadth news establishment only gives the basics.

If anyone reading wants to see U6, or just doesn't know about raw data on FRED, go look at it [1].

> "to comprise" is distinct from "to be composed of", because the latter is actually "to be", with a past participial phrasal verb.

This is like writing that the company "Apple" is distinct from "John Deer" because one name consists of one word and the other of two, in that it's both true and beside the point.

I don't think that fact had escaped anyone, and they are distinct for more reasons than one being a verb and the other being a verb phrase.

> "to be comprised of", on the other hand, is not distinct from "to be composed of".

The people choosing the former over the latter—to whom we are clearly deferring if we accept the spirit of your statement, which I take to be that one may be replaced with the other in a sentence with exactly no modification of meaning—seem to believe they are not quite the same. If I may venture a guess: they think the former is a smarter or more formal but otherwise perfectly identical version of the latter. Still, that is a difference not without significance, and one I trust you did not intend to dismiss.

Further, they differ in a way that the people committing the (if I may) error do not anticipate: to a good portion of those who understand how to use "to comprise" in the ordinary fashion, its use in this manner is a sign of poor writing, of the sort a well-intentioned but inexperienced high school student might produce. This is the exact opposite of what is intended in the typical case, I expect.

(Apologies in advance for any grammatical, word usage, or spelling mistakes I have undoubtably made, to preempt posts about that.)
At the time I was heavily using local groups (folders) to organise the emails, and of course those weren't living on Google's servers—and if I were going to leave them up on the server, I might as well choose to organise them differently, since I wouldn't have gnus filtering them for me.

And I think there was some trouble with IMAP at the time too, so the path of least resistance was to just use the web client on my desktop. But, as I noted, I'm thinking of going back.
> Are you actually saying that in the US children cannot read because of sports stadiums?

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying. I've explained in my top post why I believe that to be true.

You're not even attempting to refute what I've said, you're just calling me egotistical and insane. So unless you have anything on-topic to say, my point is adequately defended and I'm done here.
I don't like the idea of provoking the loss of mass of some colonizable planet that already has less gravity than it would be natural for us. A better solution would be to trap as much of that atmospheric mass in solid aggregation state somewhere on its ground. Our planet had a lot of atmospheric carbon too, which is now trapped mainly as coal or other kind of fossil fuels.

Just as an aside, my company has just spend several hundred thousand dollars licensing a well-known product & portfolio management (PPM) app. Not surprisingly, all the project managers were 100% in favor of this spend. Also not surprisingly, all the apps management were against it.

Also as an aside, in most large companies, PPM is handled 100% separately, and by different people, than actual product management and dev planning/resource allocation/bug fixing/testing/support/etc.
The spec sheet claims "Dual WiFi radios" as well as "Simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless". This tells me you're probably using a pair of dual-mode 2.4GHz/5GHz radios if you can act in dual-5GHz mode.

Assuming this radio setup:

Do you dedicate one of the radios to the mesh communication?

If so, does this mean you have a non-simultaneous dual-band 2.4/5 on the other radio for client devices?

Do you intelligently switch the mesh radio between 2.4GHz and 5GHz on a per-access point basis based on what gives the best ratio of packet loss to bandwidth to the surrounding mesh nodes?

How many antennas do you have per radio/band?
Before I went to "college" (it still feels wrong for me to say University lol), I too thought it would be a waste of time. I really just wanted to get out in the real-world and work. Then I went into my freshman year basically partying my grades away and crushed my ego to a little pea. Actually, it turns out you have to work your ass off to do well in an undergraduate program. So I learned how to study and I learned how to become disciplined enough to say no to distractions.

True, the computer science part of my degree was the easy part, but the other courses, the "liberal arts" part, that was the tough part that also expanded my mind. I loved most of my classes because in reality, I love learning. I love seeing the world through different lenses.

University life is also about meeting life-long friends and self discovery. EVEN if software engineering can be distilled to just learning a language to instruct a computer, going to college is still a giant stepping stone in life that I think every capable individual should experience.
That shows problem with the official number though.

If unemployment is down, wages should be up. But wages are down. That implies the unemployment rate is not accurately reflecting the true supply of labor.

Or, it shows what I believe: demand for labor is decreasing even as the economy grows.

People often discount that university plays the important (to employers) role of validating someone's ability to do difficult things for a long time without failing or quitting, on their own dime. I often think that purpose is more important than the education itself. The main problem people I know who hire people without college degrees have is that they struggle to find people who are reliable. There are reliable people without degrees and unreliable people with degrees, but having a degree seems to be correlated with reliability.
Good point. My comment left the impression that it was something only kids say, but it's absolutely not. "So" is a perfectly good adverb that's used elsewhere as well. It just happened that the immediate phrases that popped into my head were things kids were likely to say (probably because the grandparent comment referenced "kids channels").

I have no idea what mattered to Microsoft, but my view is that MIT is just simpler. There really aren't too many disagreements on what the license requires.

Additionally, if you don't truly plan on enforcing many requirements of the license (e.g., if a distributor fails to "cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files" (4.b.), will you send them a letter telling them to correct the problem?), then why bother using a license that includes those requirements?
