There doesn't seem to much in the article to suggest it doesn't trickle down, so the headline is rather sensationalist. They are saying that lots of it goes off-shore, but unspent wealth will not "trickle down" anyway (g

Maybe they switch to alternatives (larger, further away) at around this price level. Other commentators have noted that you don't pay much less further away, just get much more house than you need. An increase in supply and subsequent

Many people live in houses with poor insulation or other such problems. They may be tenants with landlords who will not fix this, or live in areas where fixing it is regulated in way that increases the cost by 5-10x (think building regulati

Pretty sad that this is top comment. Obviously increased consumption and decreased physical activity is the direct cause but everyone here knows this already. It's not the key problem. The key problem is that for most people this is ha

In one of the most flagrantly opportunistic political redefinitions I've ever seen, the UK recently raised the minimum wage and called it Living Wage: sufficiently accurate to be arguable but completely co-opting the concept without ev

GitHub claim in this thread that they pay about 1s for a full clone without a caching CDN, due to their bitmap indexing patches.

Didn't they settle and /not/ admit guilt? That's often one of the reasons to settle.

What is the motivation for this question? If written in Go, do you ask why not OCaml? Or think OCaml somehow especially unsuitable?

I'm not sure how you're framing that as a class issue. Her concerns were about the dishonesty, and it sounds like the supervisor or Clinton herself would have got the same treatment.

Interesting. I have one major disagreement. This: "This seems to me like a good reason for application maintainers to carefully test the updates" Doesn't seem remotely feasible. Every security release should be manually QA&#x

A recent Cochrane review found very little high quality evidence in either direction: http://www.cochrane.org/CD011269/DEPRESSN_light-therapy-prev... It's not clear to me why light therapy is considered as a well-

Switzerland has one of the lowest tax rates in the world (although it varies from canton to canton). Where do you draw the conclusion from?

There is a substantial section of the article about modifying their high level tests to test both branches and keeping the toggle off in production whilst turning it on for some exploratory testing.

I've skimmed this before and have to say I read it as the BoE absolving itself of responsibility. The popular stance is "blame the banks" and some people even believe that (commercial) bankers just print money (for themselves

Riding (cycling) without a helmet is considered dumb only in certain areas of the world. Last time I checked, some countries refused to make it compulsory because evidence was mixed (no references to hand, but the gist of it was that direct

I've done both. I found manual labour hard but overall easier hours by a big margin. I have physical issues from the non-physical work and I know people who've had (true) burn-out and stress-related illness. My personal experience

As other people have said, the author is not criticising them herself. However, I think your statement is strange. Firstly, she states that "working class" generally means "without college degree" - that doesn't mea

Bit off-topic but https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html say flagging is for off-topic and spam, not low quality (they also explicitly request not commenting to say you flagged something).

This is a fairly typical Nanex piece: start with loaded language before you've made your case, be "data-centric" yet leave out important details, intentionally exclude obvious details. By now this is all explained publicly ma

Strangely composed article: "Norman" is introduced from nowhere along with the multiple authors. Some valid points but all rather overstated ("destroying design") and finishes with admitting that a lot was fixed in iOS 9

The first hit is this page: http://www.apple.com/uk/osx/how-to-upgrade/ which says you can upgrade directly. What goes wrong? I upgraded 10.5 to latest 10.5 then bought 10.6 in store and got to 10.6.8 a year

Really enjoy these but the quality varies immensely. In some they fail to setup the equipment properly or have weird clues and it ruins the whole thing. They are reasonably expensive (here 80-140EUR for an hour between 4-8 people). It'

It doesn't take ownership by default IIRC - just recommends that you do so. It will work with sudo if you want to go that way.

But only a little - you could argue the vast majority of e-mail attachments are .doc etc with parsing bugs rather than straight .exe. Contrary to the gushing "using only their phone number" in the article, they admit that gullibil
