The 20 days is just paid vacation time though, does it also include holidays? https://www.government.nl/topics/working-hours/question-and-... shows 11 holidays in NL if I'm counting right

> If layoffs keep piling up higher and deeper To put the current situation in perspective, the last unemployment rate reading was 3.7%, a level so low that it was never hit in the entire period 1970-2018.

For at least some types of retail products, it seems like a system of standardized, reusable containers could be workable - the same Amazon, UPS, USPS delivery vans that bring a constant stream of packages to my apartment building could col

I believe the point is that the price of each individual good or service is a dimension. They all can move independently of one another, CPI is just an estimate of the total effect of inflation by using a weighted sample of particular items

Why would you want to put out natural forest fires when that just builds up more flammable material for next time?

Not if you're a nationalist, since most of Taiwan is ethnically Han, not Japanese.

Advances in AI areas like computer vision seem to mostly come from academics who publish their work. Once an innovation is published, it is available for all to use or imitate. I don't see how a state actor is going to make some major

I would be pleased to see this happen, but the part of the equation I don't understand is that Musk seems to have unnecessarily alienated many of the firms advertising on Twitter, which is a big hit to revenue if the companies don&#x27

Good point, but as a counterbalancing force, those people still benefit from the economy-wide productivity increase in the long run. An entry-level unskilled worker has a much higher standard of living today than a skilled tradesman of the

Nice work. English names of the parties would be helpful.

Ah, not surprising, considering it's one of the most desirable places to live in, and you are competing with a growing global rich class to live there.

What do you think could be behind the noise in this case? It does look like the steepest drop in many decades, and more surprising when we read stories on HN about automation that would imply a baseline increase in productivity.

In the US? Prices from 2011-2016 or so were not that bad, and were lower than 2006 in many cities.

Another piece of the puzzle is the big drop in labor productivity lately - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/OPHNFB . Could the data you mention be explained by workers previously being in jobs where they were unproduc

I'm pretty skeptical - that's 30 year old data and I doubt the programmer category corresponds closely with the profession today. What kind of intellectual capacity would the average programmer lack compared to an RN? Physical&#x2

The cognitive ability required to be an RN is nowhere near that required for programming, degree or no.

Crimea has historically belonged to Russia since it was first conquered, and even from the 90s to 2014, Russia had a large military presence there. But Musk was not speaking of who has a moral right to possess it, but of what realistic outc

Fair, but if the underrepresentation is 50% say, half of a large number is not tiny. Tech nowadays is a major career path akin to law or medicine, less of the niche idiosyncratic subculture it was 20 years ago. Anecdotally, my socially cons

What argument? The point is that everybody votes based on their particular opinions of what is moral or immoral, often related to their religious beliefs, this is not a new phenomenon, and it is not at odds with freedom of religion.

We fought a whole war to end chattel slavery because a movement largely composed of pious Christians believed it to be sinful.
