Article has a plethora of problems.

"Each generation of technology goes through an S-curve of development - slow improvement of an impractical product, then explosively fast improvement once fundamental barriers are solved, and then slowing iteration and refinement as you solve every last issue and the curve flattens out. PCs are on that flattening part of the curve,"

There is no reason to believe that the non mobile form factor will go away in the coming years nor that we have perfected the "PC" a concept the article can't even seem to nail down.

"just as the move from command lines to GUIs was" The gui became the de facto way for non technical users to interact with computers the command line didn't go away in fact the number one way a lot of users interact with their computer or mobile looks a little like a command line we just call it google or siri.

"Second, iOS, ChromeOS and (debatably) Android have a fundamentally better security model" Than what windows?

"No-one is going to found a new company to make Win32 applications" I'm sure we could find a recent one

"And fourth, the broader scale advantage - the ARM/iOS/Android ecosystem is moving towards selling 10x more devices each year than the Wintel ecosystem."

People pretty much implicitly need their own phone, they wear out/get broken quickly, and they are advancing so quickly that it makes sense to upgrade frequently.

PCs are often shared, or at least less than 1 per person, are often seen as good enough for years, don't break down quite as quickly, and are often upgraded on a more leisurely schedule.

This quantity of mediocre phones dumped onto the market doesn't allow you to infer their relevance and doesn't necessarily allow you to predict future differences in market share.

How do you "[control] the other factors in housing pricing ...making enough supply available" for low wage workers? How do you do that if luxury units only cost a fraction more to construct than low rent units? How do you induce, by policy the construction of affordable housing?
Very helpful, thank you for this
... and it's in many ways been an unmitigated disaster.

I'm pro-housing but this is a poor comparison. The difference is that apart from a few large employers most people in Loudoun, VA commute to the larger employment centers of Fairfax and DC.
I suppose if you are living somewhere where the market rate and the rate one tenant is paying have gotten that far out of whack, you probably have more problems than rent control. :)

The fascinating thing about Prop 13 [1] is that the Property Taxes can only increase by 2%/year unless the property is sold, or there is a change of ownership of the entity that owns the property. But, if the property is purchased by a group, and no member of that group owns more than 50%, then members of the group can change, and the property tax is never reset to market rates.

You are incorrect, the history of man is one of lawlessness. Anyone who is not aware of that fact, is not aware of history. The rule of law is a myth for the masses. The powerful do what they want if we go by evidence.

Property laws have always expanded over the last 200 years.

What? The LIBOR scandal was Wall St banks.
Sorry I missed the engine part!
Yep. There needs to be some careful, real, honest thought put into it, but I'm strongly of the opinion that Prop 13 needs to be repealed, yesterday, with an allowance for a -say- ten-year gradual ramp-up in assessed property values for landowners who own a property for their use and/or the use of their family.

> though it is a bit like solving the equal access to education problem by banning all private colleges -- more than a little absurd.

While one can definitely argue against this view, it's far from absurd: the basic argument is that the availability of private college/lawyers/your-favourite-resource favours the rich and powerful, and that you can only get actual equal access for all to education/trial-defense/something-else if you force the rich and powerful to have an equal playing field with everyone else (at which point they will then use their power to ensure a decent/good level of the service for everyone, including themselves).

Two fairly different, and likely overly generalised and simplified, examples of this view:
- the British left-wing view of private (known as "public" in Britain, to confuse us all) schools (vs state schools): they allow the rich&powerful to get away with underfunding/neglecting the state school system, as it doesn't actually affect them, their family or their friends' family
- the Swiss view of public schools - paraphrasable as "Swiss private schools are for foreigners" - which more or less implies that using (or a society needing) a private school is a moral failing ;) (ie the rich&powerful will help fix the public schools rather than send their children to the private one)

French Univ tried their best to teach the good stuff. We had Ada, Scheme, OCaml. Too bad it looked like esoteric dust for many compared to the Java Juggernaut. From the few I've seen it seemed large system became a synonym for UML, not generic formal modular approach. But I left this around 2008, maybe the winds have changed.

By making -as San Francisco does- a condition of the building permit that the developer either make X% of the newly constructed housing "affordable housing", or pay the city what it would cost the city to build that many units of "affordable housing". This is far from unprecedented. :)

You can call it that, however this is not asset forfeiture, it's asset freezing (which is vastly different). Furthermore, there is a four point test that judges use to determine if a freezing order is valid. It very rarely impacts anyone aside from perpetrators of fraud.

It is nothing like you claim, because if the government loses their case the assets are unfrozen. They can't use them, nor do they have actual access to them, until the case ends in a guilty verdict.

Where Flight Search Engines Fail
Are you looking for jobs at startups? If so, it's going to be difficult to get hired regardless of your training if you've never worked in the field before. This is just due to some quirks about the economics of the industry. It's much easier to get hired at a dev shop, work there for a year or two, and then apply to work at a startup or large company after that.

* Yes code generators isn't a new thing. And this doesn't build what that app does unless it is just a straight business app. I wouldn't build an ad server or game engine with it but you could build the data in and out parts with it. This lets us programmers that do write C to write it and do less of the data shifting parts of the app.

* As for the different platforms you are correct as for different browsers that problem has beens solved for the most part. It isn't an easy problem to solve but I think we are at a place to solve it now where we were not make in the Visual Basic, UML Java days. They also didn't solve it in quite the same way.
Yes, they're part of the Judicial branch, established by Article III of the US Constitution [1]. Not all judges are Article III judges with the protections mentioned therein, but all judges are part of the government on some level. You can see some measures to establish independence from the other branches as well as accountability if you read the section. For the subset of judges that are Article III judges, their wages cannot be reduced and they have a lifetime appointment "in good behavior" (which means they can be impeached for misconduct). What you won't find in the text is anything about judicial review of laws. The court came up with that doctrine on its own in Marbury v. Madison. [2]

Yes; their right to do so might be the very thing that holds the rent down in the first place. If you're a landlord considering making a deal for a good tenant in a slump year, or making a deal to keep a good tenant despite a chance to capitalize on rising market rates, wouldn't you be more likely go for it if you know you have the option of changing your mind a year later? If you're instead making a possibly decades-long commitment, are you not much more likely to squeeze out every penny on that crucial day of initial lease-signing?
That's a very intriguing thing. Thanks for that. :-)
Recently visited Washington state for the first time and want to experience a legal marijuana purchase. While searching for a place to go, I was shocked to find so many vendors offering delivery. The first and only delivery service I contacted told me they could only deliver to medical card holders, so I opted to visit a shop with a physical presence. For a long-time recreational user, it was surreal.

Your adjustment will filter out any nulls that would have otherwise been in the output. The issue was not NULLs in the output (there was nothing in the output), but NULLs in the subquery in the NOT IN clause. You could address this by filtering inside the subquery:

SELECT * FROM bar WHERE foo NOT IN (SELECT foo FROM tabl WHERE foo IS NOT NULL)

Making this a little more realistic:

SELECT * FROM activation_code
WHERE code NOT IN (
SELECT activation_code_used FROM user
);

If that query was previously returning many rows, I contend that many people would not expect it to start returning zero rows just because a user was created without using an activation code.

Right. Few startups and dev shops that I have interviewed in SF Bay area are looking for those developers (2-5 years experience) and the market here is crazy for experienced ones.

Well, from my perspective, Google Glass was an immense failure. Yes, they made a product, but not one that was actually useful for anything. (Really, I asked every Glass owner I could find what they were using it for.) At the time I thought it obvious and unmistakable that nothing would actually come of it. Was Glass better because people fooled themselves into putting forth even more unnecessary effort? Or was it worse?

That's not my point, though. My point is that from the perspective of the investors these things look great because they are optimized to appear that way. They may look dumb or pointless to people from other perspectives, of course. But it's like one of those optical illusions that only works when you stand in a particular spot. Every company does this with their investors. Every company does it with their customers.

I also think the dividing line between con and regular company is not as clear as you make it to be. How many people do you know that have stories of working at companies where the executives have no clue? E.g., the charismatic but coked-up executive, or the VP Sales who promises entirely impossible things on a regular basis. Stories where things only worked out because actually clueful people worked hard and made it happen. Or at least made enough happen that checks got cashed and customers didn't actually sue. I know a bunch of those stories, and I'd bet you do too.

I could easily imagine that this was not an out-and-out scam, but just something moderately more fucked up than places I've seen end up doing quite well.

What does "debt free" mean exactly? I see a few options, but I'm not sure what you're trying to forbid:

* I can never promise to pay someone back in the future?
* I can never draw on more resources than I have?
* I can borrow money and never pay it back?

This first is doubtful, because you mentioned loans earlier. The last is the case currently, via bankruptcy, but there are serious limits on it. Otherwise no one would ever want to lend money--someone could always just abscond with it.

Yes, we have a large cognizant contract right now. My company has hired about 300 cognizant resources both onshore and offshore. The overall strategy seems to be leverage each employee with ~5 contractors. All employees are actually just product managers, PMs and SMEs and management. All dev, QA, dev ops, dba, networking, L1-3 monitoring etc has been outsourced.

I also used to work for a well known national retailer who employed a similar strategy. There were only ~40 employees running a project of 400 people, 3 years and $100M. It's a common approach.

What benefit is a stronger public defender if your government can steal your property without any requirement of proof of guilt? That automatically destroys the property rights system, the knock-on effects will be truly massive. And then it leaves you without any means for defense other than to put your fate in the hands of the government. Orwell would certainly approve.

I'm baffled that some people here are arguing that this could turn out to be a good thing, and are applauding giving the government this kind of terrifying power. I can't believe it's not immediately grasped how it'll then be used to take 27 other steps, no different than how programs like the Patriot Act have been, and every other vast over-reach of power has been throughout recorded history.

This is the perfect setup to a totalitarian state. We were already too far down that road, if they kill the sixth amendment then kiss the remaining liberty goodbye, it'll all be rapidly eroded via the government using its power to (comically easily) control public defenders. We've already gotten to see how these systems work, with a century of failed fascist and communist regimes.
> If I could, I would edit that post to be more clear/to take into account businesses which do not require any specialness.

That I'm creative (amongst other things) is why they pay me well. My successful experiments have a record of adding value well above my pay even if aggregated with my many unsuccessful experiments, although I try my best not to keep it that way for long. I'm not sure I've had any technical job with completely "strictly defined expectations of contract", I think that's a red herring. It sounds nice that the most creative and innovative projects/companies give less of a shit about the bottom line; I personally think that the bottom line is the fuel for creativity (didn't have much money when I was younger.) Anybody can sell your product with unlimited money to spill, but doing it with the best profit margin possible is creativity.

I like to think I'm a special snowflake...
