No one is going to make the case that motherhood could or should improve a woman's earnings. Motherhood is diametrically opposed to careerhood; you give to one what you take from the other. This article merely states that there's still a gap between heterosexual and homosexual women when adjusting for motherhood, but I think it's safe to say that gap would be much narrower.

The article, as all mainstream media on the topic too often does, has an evident bias toward the working woman in contrary to the mother. When you realize this bias in our media, you see it everywhere. This article has language like: "motherhood drags female earnings down", "they could face positive discrimination, if employers promote them on the assumption that they will not have children", "it could be that in same-sex couples women do not feel obliged to do as much childcare or housework, giving them more freedom to fulfil their potential in the workplace".

The message is clear (and again; it's the message delivered by our entire media): being a mother is bad, girls. Devote your life to your career -- that will give you purpose and legacy.

> I think you're pushing some kind of fertility agenda

The word "agenda" implies you feel a need to discredit my ideas that we as a society should have an above-replacement fertility rate. Why?

For what it's worth, I believe our dying population is a result of a much wider cultural shift; sub-replacement fertility rates are just a symptom. My 'agenda' -- I'm happy to call it that because I believe it is the defining issue of our age, and everything humanity has worked for hangs on us getting this right -- is on much baser elements.

> the women only being good enough to raise kids

Psychological and sociological research over the past 50 years has managed to confirm what humans universally knew for millennia: women have a predilection towards caring, and men have a predilection towards providing. I agree that we should avoid pigeonholing people, but you would have to have quite the cognitive dissonance to avoid recognizing this pattern among the two sexes.

With such strong predilections, it makes sense then to encourage boys and girls to aspire to different things based on their tendencies and abilities to contribute the most back to their society. Men work on the world as it is and push it forward a bit, and women ensure there is a better generation to follow -- in general. Note that recognizing and celebrating tendencies among the sexes does not require that we dictate someone's path: if a girl becomes a successful author then her husband could become the predominant carer. Whatever!

My point is that we need to ensure there are capable generations to follow. If we don't, we lose everything.

If you would like to make the case for why equality is inherently good, is worth striving for, and is achievable, I'm all ears. I'm also curious to see you support your claim that our birth rates are not problematic (or are you agreeing with me here that there are deeper issues at play?).

> "In the context of property used as a residence", most European countries do not tax first homes, end of story.

I'm not talking about sales taxes on the sale price of a home; the US doesn't tax those either. I'm talking about property taxes, as in the taxes typically assessed by a local government to property owners as a percentage of the appraised value of their property. I'm saying that such property taxes produce various undesirable effects (as mentioned several comments up).

That's orthogonal to questions of how to deal with people owning, buying, or selling multiple homes. It may or may not make sense to apply different rules in those cases, such as not providing an exemption for sales taxes on such properties. (Though you'd have to be careful there to not cause problems with rental prices.)

Thanks for building Gitlab! I'm from Germany and worked at Fraunhofer where Gitlab was used extensively for in-house dev.
The first thing I did after joining a small startup was to install gitlab using docker - it is literally faster than setting up a new github account. I also use gitlab's nginx configuration combined with cipherli.st ciphers as a template because it uses best practices.

Only one question: We want to use Gitlab CI for Continuous Deployment, but I can't find any meaningful resources to build a django project and deploy it e.g. on another server or docker instance. Do you have any information about this?

GitLab and Bitbucket are equally as powerful. I've actually really enjoyed trying out GitLab for the past few days.

Conveniently buses tend to stop at multiple places - not just your home and your office.

So, assuming your interest is in walking more (but not necessarily 16 miles a day) you could perhaps walk a little way, and catch the bus from a different stop. And/or perhaps get off the bus a few stops before your office and walk the last bit. You can adjust to taste depending on how you're feeling, how late / early you're running, whether it's raining, and so on.

Someone like AWS has a minimum amount of time they bill for an instance for. It's usually 1 hour. If Pinterest is deploying 500 times a day, the cost of spinning up all new instances every single time would be pretty excessive. A lot of companies have a fixed set of app servers that stay up most of the time, then another set of dynamic ones that spin up and down with traffic.

So yes, it probably does mean that they are deploying more than once to the same set of servers.
> How practical is it

Very? Contrary to the popular meme that suggests that systemd is required for features like automounting hotplugged hardware or roaming network configurations were possible a decade before systemd. Several pre-systemd distros even handled a lot of the work for you automagically, though the UI for some tools wasn't the best (or, rarely, was missing).

> I'm very used to GNOME

That's another matter, unfortunately. GNOME is firmly in the systemd-only, "screw portability"/"it's not a regression when we removing working code because it's 'old'" camp.

That said, Gentoo has implemented a workaround[1]. I haven't tried it (I still use enlightenment DR16), so I don't know if the workaround involves any loss of features, but that might be worth investigating. The install process appears to be a typical level of work for Gentoo.

Internet Scale Applications – Virginia U. course notes
<Prop 13 basically keeps the property taxes constant (or 1% increase) as the value of your house increases (doubles or triples)>

No, it sets your base tax value at purchase to 1% of the purchase/FMV price, and its increases from there are annual and limited to 2% of the previous tax.

e.g. assuming a purchase price in 2015 of $1 million:

Year Tax

1: $102,000 max

2: $104,040 max

etc. (initial * (1.02 ^ year#))

<Your tax gets re-calculated only if you sell your house>

Or any other change in majority ownership. It can also be triggered by improvements.

Note that local governments heap many additional taxes in the form of "parcel taxes" that are fixed amounts -- a regressive tax effect (a $20M estate and a $300K condo pay the same amount).
We totally want to do this with GitLab CI. Right now you can have GitLab CI measure your code coverage, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci/commit/96b17c1735b65... for an example. We can just add a graph and allow people to add more metrics https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/13409

Obviously you should ensure that your performance tests are run on the same type of machine every time. But you can do this by labeling runners.

Great job on GitLab, I really like it and started migrating my projects from GitHub.

Lol if you think cryptography doesn't consider corruptions of involved parties; there's a huge host of studied corruption models, from static to adaptive corruption, and different type of corruptions, from malicious to rational to covert adversaries.

Secure computation is a catch-all term for cryptographically safe computation; this includes ORAM schemes, FHE, iO, Searchable Symmetric Encryption, PIR, etc.

If you mock without knowing, you're the fool. No one claims that these schemes can solve computer security problems; for one, these schemes are still largely theoretical. But there's been huge advances in the field, and some things that have emerged as a result of this theory are being deployed by Google, Microsoft, etc (CryptDB).

Back when healthcare information exchanges were a new thing, one of the competing notions was for patients to "carry" around their own medical records, explicitly granting access on a need-to-know basis. Thumb drive, cloud storage, whatever.

I know that your statement isn't suggesting this strategy. I only mention it to note the logical conclusion of a patient-centric system.

Currently, getting access to your own medical records is like getting your own financial records and credit reports, only worse.

Even though I am my data, it is my identity, my self, none of the aggregators and purveyors, who profit from my data, see it that way, and only comply reluctantly.

As for GOOG-411 isn't it pretty widely accepted that it was free to build up a large pool of voice data without the privacy concerns of using Google Voice customer voicemail? Its end was guaranteed once they had enough training data for minimum viable voice recognition - on the same kind of phone microphones even.

People over 55 can transfer the tax basis of their primary residence. In all cases if they move somewhere in the same county, and depending on local ordinances inter-county.

So retired people living in the Peninsula can afford to move to other areas.

New managers get promoted when there's a need for one. Sometimes that's because the existing manager is moving up, or because they're leaving the company or transferring to another department, or just because the department is growing and lots of new employees are coming on. The most dependable path to becoming a manager is actually the last one, making sure that you join a high-growth department in a high-growth company.

That said:

"I am getting tired of day-to-day technical stuff where it's your fault when smallest thing goes wrong and it's everyone's efforts when things go right."

If you dislike this, then you will suck at being a manager. It's the manager's job to take the bullet when things go wrong and pass on the credit when things go right. That's the only way you can create an environment where your reports feel safe in taking risks and working their hardest on a high-value problem.

It's also a manager's job to navigate internal politics and advocate for their team. If you don't do this effectively, both you and your reports will end up marginalized, and you'll find that your best reports will transfer away.

If your problem is that there's too much internal politics and you're sick of it, that's usually a problem with the company (or sometimes just the department), and is best solved by switching companies to one that higher-growth, where everybody is too busy to undercut each other, or alternatively by getting better at politics.

Big Pharma will pay huge money for this data. Imagine targeted ads based on your medical history. This was exactly the scenario discussed, solving the "who'll pay?" problem, when our corporate overlords were negotiating data sharing with Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault.

I've been out of the game for a few years, so I don't know the current legal and regulatory landscape.

Github serves two major purposes: (1) one is to be a git repository, and (2) another purpose is to be the central meeting ground for discovery and community participation. GitLab can serve for the purpose of being a git repository.

The problem is that the more competition we have for (2), the less functional any of the competitors are in serving (2).

Given that when Github goes down, a lot of tools and development workflows also go down, I can understand there being a backup repository. But that's not the same as serving purpose (2), that's just redundancy for (1).

The same problem exists for Facebook. The more Facebooks there are, the less functional any Facebook is.

I made the wrong use of terms; by "agrarian" I meant non-nomadic; static; people living in one place working on things sometimes multiple economic edges from subsistence.

> a world of individuals pursuing their own interests can only fail

Capitalism doesn't require individualism. You could argue that it tends to individualism, but I believe that with a strong societal philosophy (and perhaps a bit of oversight) it can be kept in check.

Capitalism is a bit like web development: it works, and makes sense, so long as you're not talking about it. As soon as you're talking about it, you're probably doing it wrong.
I would like to know that GitLab will not support Socio-Political entry-ism by instituting a so called 'Code of conduct'.

Codes of Conduct are a form of Socio-Political entry-ism by which third party activists try to interject a vaguely defined set of Behavioral, Ideological and Speech codes which participating individuals must accept in order to participate.

Once Instituted activists can try and use these 'Codes' as a pretext to attack there perceived political and social enemies in the project. Attempt to expel developers can spread across all social media, email, and any other information that can be dug up.

Attempts to redefine project goals and redirect resources away from there original purpose towards social and political objectives set by the entrants are also attempted. Generally turning open productive software communities into unproductive, divisive, monoculture, that serve as ideological vehicles.

It is important that FLOSS software development is politically and socially neutral. Open to anyone who wants to contribute and learn and help improve the code. I hope that GitLab will endorse political and ideological neutrality which opens the door for everyone to participate by keeping Codes of Conduct out of your terms of service.
A more reasonable conclusion is that developers not involved in open source use github free repos, people find their stuff, start talking to them, they start collaborating, and then they become open source projects.

On gitlab when most stuff is default-private it leads to a lot of potential collaboration being lost, regardless of license.
