Honestly, the people who could afford going on an airship hospital wouldn't be living (most of the time) in a smoggy urban center anyway.
My two thoughts on this:

1. I bet a large portion of this phenomenon is related to the current US divorce laws (basically a woman with a child can divorce a high-income husband and claim a large portion of his income for child support / maintenance).

Therefore marrying people of your 'social circle' is a certain way to mitigate this effect (ie if your spouse is a high-level attorney rather than a secretary, you have a much lower risk of it happening to you).

2. Author kinda assumes the reader is an idiot in some places. For example: "As it becomes harder for many people to “marry up”.

Well, no. "People" never really married up. Women with looks had a chance to marry men of higher social standing. The reverse (man marrying a woman of higher social standing) was very much an exception.

So basically what this means is that men of today are not as interested in marrying women beneath their social status as they were in the past.

I guess that women's liberation had a lot to do with this phenomenon. If one is an intelligent woman, she can simply go to a good school and get a career - instead of her only choice in life being marriage to a rich man. So that actually sounds like a not terrible thing for such women.
I think probably these are signs of a good programmer. But i wouldn't worry too much about how you compare to these things. To be a good programmer, program.
WatchOS 2 Tutorial: Checking Reachability
People don't care about freedom?
I've gotten into numerous conversations with people about the proper terms to use for members of executable body of code, and the results are surprisingly opinionated.

Almost everyone agrees that a function (the noun), following the mathematical definition thereof, is a thing which accepts an input or multiple inputs, and returns a consistent, repeatable result, directly related to that input. But... say 'method' and/or 'procedure' in front of the wrong people, and you will be taken to task on the semantic meaning of such words, and what is proper and correct within a variety of technical fields.

Similarly, what is meant by "functional" (the adjective) is also up for debate. Some people, when they hear the word "functional" think you're speaking in terms of "functionality" perhaps in the context of user acceptance testing, and the proving of a minimum viable product. Others will think you're referring to the "pure functional" programming paradigm, like as in the sense of Haskell.

Still others will think you are simply referring directly to a specific Java method, or a specific JavaScript function, and correct you accordingly, and not consider whether the terms have any deeper meaning or context at all. (like: "no, this is Java, so it's a method..." or "no, JavaScript only has functions, not methods...")

That being said, I've always felt that these terms have such broad, generalizable definitions, since they've sort of been borrowed from layman's English, and repurposed within a specific context.

Is there REALLY a difference between a "method," a "procedure," and a "function" proper?

The point you are missing is that it's not about

> "having no internet at all"

because what Facebook is offering is anything but the Internet. It's not even close to being the Internet.

It is Facebook's walled garden which they control, they decide what lives there and what remains, what gets kicked out.

You know what is worse, it is not that Facebook is providing something that is not the Internet, but the worse is - it will give a precedence to such business practices that may effectively kill the Internet as a medium, as we know it today, in India and turn it into the cable company model commodity where we have to buy packs of "access X, Y, Z services at speed A", or even "access sites X, Y, K" when there is another pack "X, K, M services pack".

It will affect innovations, new services in a drastic manner. Can you imagine what the status of Facebook would have been if the Internet all over the world was in a way that provided Orkut for free because Google paid for it by including it in its "Google Free Basics" pack? I don't think Facebook would have been here at all.

Now, let's say Amazon arrived in India before Flipkart, Snapdeal (Indian e-commerce portals) and jumped on an "India Free Basics" plan and now people have free access to Amazon but this guy in Bangalore who started Flipkart couldn't afford to jump on that "India Free Basics" because hey, they didn't have deep pockets from the beginning. The list of what-if examples can be endless here, I just hope you get the idea.

> Nobody else is going to give full internet to them for free.

Indian Govt actually provides highly subsidised Internet in rural areas and is working to make it more accessible. And ideas like Facebook Free Basics are actually going to harm such initiative by the Govt giving them a reason that people already have "Free Basics". I mean not saying this is how it's gonna end up exactly but let Facebook and Network operators have their way right now and something similar is waiting for us in the future. Sounds like a mild dystopian story? Well, read about "license raj" in India and related stories.

> They will be stuck with nothing.

No, they won't. They will get the Internet, maybe few months, or a couple of years down the line - slowly (and this is already happening) which is better than not getting "the Internet" ever, or when it's too late.

By the way, what stops Facebook from kicking WikiPedia and Khan Academy out (let's just say they are there) later on and rather bring Snapchat, Vine and Instagram in its place? Now, you may say it's better to watch cat gifs and share selfies than having "no Internet at all", where again you'll be missing the point that "this is NOT the Internet" and that line of thinking is unfortunate in my humble opinion.

A lot of these points have been covered in these videos by a local standup comedy group (in order): https://youtu.be/mfY1NKrzqi0, https://youtu.be/W0w_YhZUYeA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAQWsTFF0BM
Baseball was my favorite sport as a kid. I followed it very closely, had thousands of baseball cards, and could rattle off statistics for hours. I was about 15 when the strike took place, just old enough to understand what was going on and decide that I didn't like it -- it really struck me wrong and made me not care about baseball anymore. I stopped watching it and haven't cared for it since.

Medisas (YC W13) is hiring engineers to revolutionize hospital care
Medisas is revolutionizing hospital software. Technology in hospitals is outdated, slow and difficult to use. We are on a mission to change this and improve patient care.

Our product is a workflow tool that helps to improve information access and communication for really important workflows in hospitals such as handoffs and rounding. It helps to improve care and reduce medical errors, which currently leads to 350,000 deaths per year.

We are hiring talented developers who are driven by a burning desire to have a huge impact and to use their skills to help save the lives of the sickest people in society. We are looking for smart, results-oriented people who value a great company culture. The three pillars of our engineering team are security, reliability and speed. These should be important to you.

As Medisas is an early-stage start-up, your responsibilities will vary greatly. One moment, you’ll have your head in a complex technical problem, another moment you’re working with one of our doctors to help them best utilize Medisas. We offer a competitive salary and generous equity, and have a fantastic office in SoMa in San Francisco. Benefits include free food and drinks, and an onsite doctor. Naturally, you’ll also get comprehensive health, dental and vision plans! But we think our best perk is the small, close-knit team you'll spend your day (and sometimes night) with.

We are backed by YC, Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Cota Capital, SV Angel, and a number of prominent angels like Jeff Dean, Paul Buchheit, and Geoff Ralston.

If you’re interested, send us an email - careers@medisas.com; include a brief resume and tell us why you want to work at Medisas. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

This is bigger news for asteroid mining than it is for Mars (why return the ingredients to earth when you can 3D print end products at the source). But kudos to Elon for getting the world talking about Mars again.
Basketball and tennis are high-tech sports in the sense that they require a carefully prepared playing area and balls that bounce predictably.

That makes it much harder to improvise a playing field than is the case for baseball, cricket (needs a fairly small area where the ball can bounce off, and having an unpredictable bounce is considered a plus there), or, especially, soccer.

To play soccer, the minimum you need is an old newspaper or old rags that you shape into a ball-like form, something to tie around it to make it keep that shape, and anything that can be placed on the ground to indicate where one should imagine the goal posts to be, such as the coats of four players, marks drawn in the sand, etc.

If you like that movie you must read through to the very last sentence of the post. It's a terrible pun? Joke? Reference? Whatever it is, it's funny and a great end to a nifty bit of analysis.
The thing is, it's not "dumbing down". You can become a brilliant mathematician, or chemist, or musician; but if you are entirely lacking of everything else (communication skills, resiliency, maturity, independence, happiness) you'll miss out on a lot of opportunities in life, and it'll cost you dearly.

Children need to be encouraged to learn; but with the carrot, not the stick. Otherwise you're just creating broken humans for the salvation of your own ego or ideals of "success".

Some of the comments in this thread make me think if people actually date anymore.

People interact with other people that are close to them at any given time, childhood, college, career.

Marrying your sweetheart became rarer since people stopped marrying at the age of 18 in general.
Marrying your college GF became more rare because people are now marrying in their late 20's to mid 30's rather than early 20's.
When people move on with their life they usually replace their previous social circles with new ones.

So if you are a banker your social circle will be made mostly from your new coworkers and maybe maybe 1 or 2 childhood/college friends if they happen to still live near by.
So you are much more likely to marry another banker, lawyer, trader and the likes simply because those are the people you interact with on your day to day, and those are the people you'll be more likely to see after work at less than official capacity.

It's not like people actively look for spouses who make as much as they do, is that they more likely to meet a spouse from the same social economic circle.
Life isn't some feel good romcom, yes sometimes some one might fall in love with a maid, a waiter, or meet their soul mate in the park when their dogs decides to run through the sprinklers who just happens to be a teacher but the likelihood of that happening by chance is about the same as a romcom winning the Oscars.

I won't claim that some people don't do some due diligence and plan engagements with every potential mate to the point where they cover financial compatibility but I would dare to say this is rare.
Other arrangements such as prenups are also much more likely to happen in such cases where there is financial inequality to begin with or when one of the partners has hereditary assets which they would like to protect.

P.S.
It's a bit odd that not subsidizing some one these days will count as income inequality, also it's important to point out that financial inequality between partners leads to infidelity and divorce.
Partners who make less money than their other partner are much more likely to cheat, especially if they become a full time or part time stay at home parent. Marriages in which one of the partners makes significantly more than the other also are 3 times more likely to end up in divorce.
Read the book. Marrying down financially has no impact (financially) on lifestyle but when there is that much of an implied difference intellectually, it's going to cause problems.

It's not jaded to be pragmatic. Marriage is a contract. Recently, you can even hear young people, men mostly, talk about ways to avoid being considered common law which I found hilarious and would never have been a topic of discussion when I was their age.

Assuming that you accept the principles:

a)babies are people

b)it is bad for people who are unable to care for themselves to be without care

c)teenagers would often be unable to care for their babies

one reaches the conclusion that, if teenagers were to have babies, often they would be unable to care for them, and this would be bad.

Therefore, reducing the rate of teenagers having babies is good (because it is preventing a bad thing, and not at the cost of another bad thing)

Generally, teenagers are not mature enough to raise children by themselves, or, they are at least less well suited than someone a bit older would be.
I don't disagree that it works well; I'm simply arguing that it solves a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first instance.

AOL offered an easy way to get on the Internet using a MODEM and an Install Floppy or CD-ROM.

I ran a PC Shop in 1995-1997 I was run out of business by Big Box stores offering low cost PCs using the AOL $500 Internet Rebate that locked people into a 3 or 5 year AOL $35/month contract. I tried to convince people that they could get on the same Internet with Brick.net and if they paid for a year in advance they would only pay $9.99 a month total and save money over using AOL. I sold a $700 PC Clone with GNU/Linux or Windows 95, and the Big Box stores sold the Packard Bell system with the same specs for $200 after the $500 Internet rebate.

I hear there are people still paying AOL for dial-up access on older Macs and PCs. So I am not surprised to see the old AOL clients still work mostly.

You also need an old version of SDL and GTK+ to make it work with Windows.

These Mac emulators could be upgraded to the latest technology for the latest SDL and GTK+ libraries, the source code is available.

The hard part is getting the Macintosh ROM, Apple made System 7.X available for free, but getting the ROM is hard. You'd need access to a 68K Mac and a floppy drive to copy the ROM to and copy it over to a modern computer using a USB floppy drive and only the 1.44M format is supported not the 880K format. Some ROMs are on the Internet and I won't link to them for piracy issues, but they should be found via web searches.
Is that interface still preserved in the modern Blackbox on Windows? Found this great presentation on both it and all the concepts it uses for robustness:

I keep thinking I need to play with it as it looks to be a great tool. Like an engineer's version of Visual Basic 6 I started on. Super easy to use, fast, and code-generating for GUI's without huge issues of C development. The complexity chart was nice while showing good old ALGOL and Turbo Pascal 2.0 fit nicely in the middle. I think the Oberon's are too simple but Component Pascal seems better.

Seems great from what people say. Better than Oberon with great tooling. The linked PDF will tell you more. I need to play with it sometime to see what it can do.

My understanding is that tools are things used as a way to achieve an objective. Nests would BE the objective, aka shelter. Thus, an ant hill would not be considered a tool.

I started to enjoy watching football a lot more once a friend explained that it's really more like chess than soccer. Really, the game is between two coaches, who have an array of players, practiced plays and assistant coaches at hand. Viewed that way, the 60-minute game time is comprised of a series of moves, with the coaches responding to each other and the time remaining on the clock.

There's still a bunch of time lost to unnecessary commercial breaks and the halftime rigmarole, though.
Have you ever been stuck between a bunch of tiger moms? Chinese culture in particular for American born kids is just different.

APC exists because PHP reloaded source files each time a script was executed through your webserver. No such parallel exists in Ruby; once source files are loaded in a process, they stay loaded for that process.

In theory it might allow for faster loading of Ruby code (more analogous to Python's .pyc files), but IIRC early experiments (in the early 2.0 days) showed it to be counterproductive in many cases.
Perhaps you should do some research on the subject before making such an ignorant statement.
signs that you're good at writing clickbait on HN
"Now that's interesting."

I knew you'd like it. It's why I tried to message you in another comment about it.

" Is it available for small embedded machines in the Arduino and low-end ARM class? It would be a good choice for when you just need to run some sensors and actuators, and need reliability."

Good point. I just found it thanks to another HN commenter. I don't know much about the state except to say they're jump starting it with another Modula-2-to-C compiler. I have the source for the original mtc compiler if anyone needs it. Meanwhile, the new one needs skilled contributors.

The language spec itself is in alpha and can use input on its features. They're adding stuff that might help. I'd say now is the time to suggest things that offer safety or maintenance benefits without bloating the language. Anyone you or anyone else can think of. I for one intend to go through Ada and Eiffel looking for every trick they use for safety for internal and integrations. Then, see what can be applied to Modula-2 without ridiculous effort. Design by contract (or a knockoff), existential types, and SCOOP concurrency come to mind immediately. Plus, maybe a formal semantics or a subset to aid static analysis tools or formal verification.

Macro's, too. I want safe (or safe-ish) macros. My old BASIC/LISP-based 4GL had macros for DSL's. They were awesome. So good for portability, security, performance hacks... many things with less overhead or confusion. Let's let people extend the language without punishing them by forcing knowledge of compiler writing.

Whats your thoughts on jumpstarting with a M2-to-C compiler, borrowing from Ada/Eiffel in simpler form, and adding macros?

"Go is for larger systems, in the large web server class. It does too much implicit allocation and garbage collection for small embedded work."

Oh I agree. I was just pointing out they created an Oberon-style language with industrial enhancements to solve problems of Java, etc. It worked with quite a bit of uptake. Like Oberon, the programs are pretty simple, safer, compile fast, and run fast. Old benefits carried over into that application of Wirth style. So, applying it to a system-level language will probably re-create the prior benefits in that area.
LLVM has a decent amount of documentation on integrating garbage collection, not on how to write one though.

Some more advanced GC integration functionality was added more recently because of the work on Webkit's FTL JIT: http://llvm.org/docs/Statepoints.html
Maybe.

If this was a read-write version, then it's easy to mentally box it into a network-backed word processor (since that's what it would have been most similar to).

The power of the web took quite a few leaps in terms of a distributed effort making it into something new each time. When cast in the original scientific philosophy, it's not clear that this would seem any more important than the prodigies, compuserves, and aols that already existed.
