The idea was to do an archaeological deep dive through Styles sections from five, 10, even 20 years ago, and select one article each week that seemed either prescient or revealing, summarize it in a punchy manner, then use it as a yardstick to measure cultural progress or lack thereof.

Another yardstick here is how often you make changes in that part of the system/codebase; debt begets debt, so if a component changes a lot, it will accrue more debt… whereas with a component that rarely changes, you can generally accrue some debt and let it sit for a long time.

By any conventional measure, this would be a long night in the theater, but Mr. Mac, who is 18303 but has the stamina of a man half his age, is not only defying conventional measures but also breaking the yardstick over his knee — and then, perhaps, upcycling its fragments for an outlandish costume.

It's a somewhat crude yardstick by which to measure innovation in deep tech — and the result perhaps reflects historic bias as much as it does actual leadership in innovation — but Europe leads every other continental region when it comes to the number of Nobel laureates it has produced in chemistry, medicine and physics.

When every history class I ever took featured an endless list of battles won and lost by men, of political contests won and lost by men, of technological advances achieved by men, it's not surprising that the measure of significance seemed to be the yardstick established by men — almost exclusively white men.

The collapse of German industry was so steep and so sudden that Vistesen told clients he almost doesn't believe the data: "The crash in the year-over-year rate is far in excess of anything remotely believable, at least using survey data as a yardstick," he told clients in a note seen by Business Insider.

Based on the sheer size of the technosphere—30 trillion tons equates to roughly 110 pounds (50 kilos) of human-made crap per square meter—and that fact that many artificial structures don't decompose, we now have a new yardstick for understanding just how profoundly different the fossil record of modernity will look compared to the past.

The 203-2-3 finish ended up being the only medals the host nation won in Sapporo and the trio became the toast of the nation, creating a yardstick that generations of ski jumpers that followed have had a hard time measuring up to, despite a team silver in 1994 and gold at the 1998 event in Nagano.

The world's No.2 life insurer by market capitalization said on Thursday the value of new business, a key yardstick for growth that measures expected profits from new premiums, rose to $2.20 billion at constant exchange rates in 2015 from $1.85 billion a year earlier, driven by surging demand in its main market Hong Kong and in China.

There also is a further 25 basis point cut priced in for the April meeting, which would take the fed funds rate, used as a yardstick for short-term borrowing rates as well as for many types of consumer debt, down to near-zero, where it fell during the financial crisis and remained for seven years.

All the existential angst of human life is here: our "just had to laugh" in the face of death; our fascination with depictions of war (especially if we read the book); our preoccupation with dumb trivia that actually reveals more about society than we'd care to admit (the Albert Hall, an upper-class haven, is the yardstick for the number of holes in working-class Blackburn, Lancashire).

In fact, weighing in at 133 pounds and measuring 11.9 x 7.8 x 0.46-inches at its thickest, the new XPS 13 is closer in size to Apple's 12-inch MacBook (11.04 x 7.74 x 0.52 inches and 2.03 pounds) than the 13-inch MacBook Air (12.8 x 8.94 x 0.68 inches and 23 pounds)—which even though its getting kind of old at this point, the MacBook Air is still people's favorite yardstick when it comes to comparing super sleek ultraportables.
