> I was surprised to learn that MILF is not disrespectful enough for some folks to terminate the employee.

I suspect that some people are unclear of, or have suppressed in favor of the colloquial use, the definition or expanded form of MILF. If you think of it as "very attractive mother and/or mature woman", which I think the meaning has shifted to somewhat over time, then I can see how some people might have differing interpretations for the severity of the remark. That's not to say it's acceptable, it is not, but I can see how someone could be somewhat surprised initially the severity of the negative reaction to their comment, through ignorance or carelessness.

Robotization and Ideology
I would love to see a game that accurately reflects modern geopolitics. It would generate a world and run a history up to a certain point, at which you'd take control as head of state of a particular nation and conduct national affairs.

Ideally, the game would be able to make conducting the affairs of a large global hegemon like the United States as interesting as playing a small kingdom beset on all sides. Sort of like Crusader Kings but set in the modern world.

The real interesting part of the game in my view is that conquest is no longer an option, and tactics would get abstracted out of armed conflict in an "amateurs think tactics, generals think logistics" kind of way.
Did you know you can do 'git add -N'? That will actually just schedule the file to be added, but won't snapshot it.
Most times I've been to a Target store, they have a loss prevention officer right up front. It's not a solution to every incident, but is a very effective front line defense, as alluded to in the article:

Walmart continues to be the gold standard of reducing prices by increasing externalities.

No. At this time we are not enforcing a timeline to move and if in the future we do decide to set a timeline we are committing to giving you at least 12 months."

So you have an indefinite period of time + 12 months, not a hard 12 months starting now.
Equity offering to a CTO
So I have formed a podcast/blog with someone who I have been working with for about 2 years. I need to either give her a raise, or equity in the company. Since I don't have the cash, we have decided on equity.

We have a good working relationship, and know how each other's patterns which I consider valuable. She would be the CTO.

I just don't know how much equity to offer her. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't want to lowball her, but at the same time she is replaceable. I'd rather go with her though, as she cares about the company and has been with me since the beginning.

Thanks,

Chris

You're completely missing the point.

Peer-reviewed research (http://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal...) states that "80% being clinically asymptomatic during initial infection".

For the 20% of symptomatic people, the WHO lists (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/zika/en/) similar symptoms to cold/flu, symptoms you wouldn't necessarily assume are Zika symptoms.

Your friends you know have had Zika are symptomatic. You may have plenty of friends (not to mention yourself) in the much larger asymptomatic bucket.

The "I don't think all the experts are right because anecdotes" attitude just makes you look silly.

Response to flippant answer: I'm pretty sure the only thing Target figured out is to cater to a higher income demographic.

I'm curious if there were less disturbances before Walmart, or if they were just more distributed throughout the city.
This article clearly states that it does not support total aversion to programming. It simply says that programming isn't for everyone.

Music is actually a good example to discuss because, while you're playing piano, you could've been playing tennis. While you're playing tennis, you could've been in art class. While you were in art class, you could've been hiking with friends. While you were hiking with friends, you could've been doing more math. While you were doing math, you could've been reading literature. These things are not for everyone, and that an activity has value is absolutely inadequate in proposing a global prescription for children.

I can see a place for civics, economics, exercise, biology, history, math, science, and English as global prescriptions for young people, but programming is far less obvious.

This is why I am very skeptical of (non-open-source) software made by startups. Often they are not in it to build a sustainable long-term business, but just for an exit, and that almost inevitably means the death of the software. It's as though the software is really just a sort of "corporate resumé" made to support their goal of getting bought out, not really something to be used.

Unfortunately, I realize this attitude might make it harder to actually make a sustainable business around solving a non-trivial problem, but as a user I've been burned too many times by companies suddenly getting acquired and then ceasing to exist.
> Offer alternatives to police involvement.

They are already trying this, it's mentioned in the article.

"Instead of calling police, the store gives first-time shoplifters the option of paying restitution and completing online courses. Eight Tampa Bay stores are enrolled, he said, and the retailer is assessing whether it will expand the program here and elsewhere."
Similar boat here. I burned out on Civ back in 1991. I believe most of the new Civ4 or later addicts simply started later and missed the original's release.

I also played Civ2 for DOS and the Windows version that had multiplayer over modem. After that I was definitely done with the general mechanics and had my fill. I'm going to take a look at FFH2 out of interest, but more than likely won't start playing it.

I can't play the same game for 25 years straight and I imagine most gamers my age have also just moved on. Maybe the others don't even play games anymore. But MOBAs are still new enough for me that I haven't burned out on those yet. I played WC3 Frozen Throne DOTA back in 2003 when it was new but I didn't play enough to really get it. Fast forward to when League of Legends came out in '09 I was hooked and been playing that ever since.

I have friends that played Duke Nukem 3D over Kali with me and are still playing FPS games daily. That's another genre that I enjoyed but really can't do anymore out of overexposure.

After League of Legends wears off on me I'll probably move to games built for VR as the formulas that work there are solved.

I think the reason why partially walmart has more problems is because they have a poorer client base, and poorer areas in general have more crime. Even if they changed policies, hired more private security and so on and it reduced everything by %50, they would still have about 3x the amount of police calls than more upscale target.

It's pretty unfortunate. Like how much police activity does foodmaxx and grocery outlet have compared to safeway and whole foods? Or mcdonalds vs subway?

[1] Number pulled out of my butt - I've no idea the exact figure.
I have seen many Walmart locations in low income neighborhoods, but not Target. Target figured out that they should charge more money per item and locate in more upscale areas, which tends to reduce shrink.

Urban food deserts are a recognized problem. I suspect that Walmart reduces the number of urban "general items" deserts in a way that Target does not.
Even though it's technically a 'recruiter', Hired.com is pretty painless. The main point I appreciated is that it was not terribly pushy. They asked that you respond to offers, but that's about it.

> Flippant answer: Pay...

And you can stop right there. Remember that the Walmart principle is "we pay less and pass the savings on to the customer". That applies to how they treat their employees as well. Anything that requires the company to spend more money is going to be a no-go.

A valid excuse? The mode was activated and a small land slide caused the car to slip down the side of a hill. THAT'S a valid excuse. 'We told you to be careful' isn't.
Exactly. I’d never use vivaldi, but many of its features are awesome. I’d also love if Firefox had a way to adapt the UI color to the current page, if I could have as nicely animated tab previews, and many of the other settings.

Re: Target, it's not simply training, its' a commitment to put more people on the floors actively walking around. This works for Target because they have a slightly more upmarket brand and audience and probably have enough margin to support more service agents in store.

The problem with Walmart in this instance is that it attracts a different audience. For example, there's a stark difference in the type of shoppers one encounters at the Target and Wal-Mart in Mountain View even though they are across the street from each other. This difference has even gained some cultural credence with sites like People of Walmart (http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/).
Yeah, but are the decreased amount of police calls due to Target's loss prevention officers (and other such prevention mechanisms), or is it simply due to the fact that they cater to a different demographic? It would certainly be an interesting experiment - if Target removed their loss prevention officer, and/or Walmart added them, how much would change? I have no idea, but I suspect the demographic plays a pretty large role.
Thereby neatly illustrating the sort of censorship that happens here on HN and places like Facebook.

If someone is unsure about this math, our (we're https://github.com/artsy) bill goes up from 450$ to 1051$ per month.

But it's not about just the money, it's about incentives.

- We have large amounts of open-source code, so we were encouraged to open-source more to avoid jumping to the next tier.

- We're going to probably close access to a bunch of code to a big chunk of our organization. We have hundreds of humans. Whereas before we would give them permissions to view as a default and hope they look at our code one day or at least know that they can, or sometimes would get a link to look at a change from a discussion, we'll now have to have to see whether it's worth 9x100s of people every month.

I am not complaining, Github provides excellent service. Seems worth it at 5K$ a year and probably 10K$ a year, too. I wish it didn't just double though and was more gradual.

TL;DR: Fastly needs full routing tables on all CDN nodes in order to determine which is the best transit path to push out content through. In order to save money, they used a programmable Arista switch instead of a traditional router. Their solution is to reflect BGP routes via the switch to the nodes and and fake direct connectivity between the nodes and the transit provides, so that nodes can directly push out content to whichever transit provider they determine is best on a per packet basis.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Maybe I'm just obtuse, but I found the blog post confusing about what it really is about and long winded, taking a very long time to come to the point. There is a severe lack of context in the beginning, it would have tremendously benefited from the what and the why of what they are trying to do.

I can speak to this. In the early 90's you could walk into an Ironworker's union hall with a GED and be hired as a pre-apprentice with no prior experience in structural ironwork or fabrication for the princely sum of $8.50 an hour (almost double minimum wage). Day 1 you had health insurance and scheduled OJT to step up to apprentice, any work over 8 hours in a day was time and a half. Any work over 40 hours a week was time and a half. Hollidays and Sundays paid double. Guaranteed sick leave. Guaranteed breaks & lunch. Union hall handled 100% of your HR-related nonsense and also filled the role of recruiter to keep you working. If you wanted to travel they'd get you assigned to short term projects in around the country. If you wanted to stay home they'd look for a long term position for you at a local firm. I'm a little hazy on the exact timeline of events but at some point between getting your book and going Journeyman you started contributing to the union pension fund and monies were set aside for a retirement annuity.

TL;DR:
GED = double minimum wage, paid OJT, full medical/dental/vision insurance, retirement, annuity, and job placement services from day 1 in the door.
