Oh, you're right that they absolutely consider the gains to their own wealth which can come from such policies.

The cognitive dissonance is when they then turn around and wonder why kids these days (including their own) can't afford to live on their own.
This is an excellent point. Why is "living in mom and dad's basement" wrong and "living in <someone else's> basement" acceptable? Why do we need 2 people (mom and dad) taking up an entire 4k-6k sq ft "single family" dwelling sitting on 1/4-1/2 acre of land?

This country has a housing problem and this is the root of it.
Consider the Jquery 3.0 that is launching now. It supports Internet Explorer 8, a browser released over 7 years ago [1]. Using jquery means, for example, you won't be using FormData for submitting forms. Heck, you won't even be using `.forEach()` on arrays.

Christopher Chedeau (vjeux) is a core react contributor. It's cool that his feedback was thoughtfully accounted for.
The article strongly refutes your assertion that "Our standard of living is simply much higher today."

Obviously the standard of living is in decline. An article such as this provides some evidence, as does the well known fact that the male median wage has been in decline since 1973.
They probably saw diminish returns upgrading from XP to Windows 7, whereas the past upgrades you list add a lot of new functionality and applications. Windows was pretty much "feature complete" with XP.
I'm planning on this happening to me right now. Basically, I'm not ruling out the possibility of my kids living with us until they are about 25. Too many things are working against them. College is too expensive, housing will be insane, and there is really no chance of their first jobs to be enough to pay for anything other than rent.

I can't even rule out them getting married and still having to live with us.
My bad. It took me several re-reads of your comment to figure out that you were attacking the usage of the word "freedom" and not comparisons between freedoms in China and other countries.
>The only reason companies use shit like that is because it beats running the company manually without a computer

Probably not. The reason they were probably using it is because it was originally written in the 80s/90s, it works, and it's too expensive to tear down their current architecture and teach everyone a new system.
The systematizer who takes up leadership from the visionary is an ancient pattern.

The systematizer may lack inspirational genius but makes up for it with analytical and organizational genius. They can turn a phenomenon into a movement, or a movement into a world power.

You see this a lot with religions and philosophies — if you have n systematizers who take up the leadership from the prophet, you probably end up with n religions (including n = 0).

TL;DR Productivity is kept by corporations, wages are stagnant because of it, and the US doesn't have a strong labor political party.

Raise the minimum wage and index hours worked per week to productivity. Productivity goes up? People work less but make the same amount of income.
Heart rate and GPS take significant amounts of power, unlike MEMS accelerometers, Bluetooth low-energy, and watch displays. A thin, non-rechargeable battery is a possibility for watches without these features.

For watches with these features, it needs a rechargeable battery and a very thin water-proof connection to that battery.
>> Locks limit access to the table, so on a high throughput use case it may limit our performance.

> Then use a proper database that implements MVCC.

InnoDB does implement MVCC. MVCC is not a silver bullet.

>> Do not use transactions, which introduce locks. Instead, use applicative transactions.

> Or just use a database that handle transactions more efficiently.

Easy to say, hard to implement at this scale. If you do a lot of writes and reads concurrently to a hot dataset, it's really quite hard to beat this architecture. This is why its such a popular and battle tested solution for many extremely high scale applications with workloads like this. Not to mention extremely well understood.

>> Do not normalize.

> Bullshit. Normalize as much as is practical and denormalize as necessary. It's much easier to denormalize and it greatly simplifies any transaction logic to deal with a normalized model.

But we are talking about performance... Having something in a single table that is denormalized is always going to be faster than having an elegant data model with "Everything In It's Right Place"

>> Fields only exist to be indexed. If a field is not needed for an index, store it in one blob/text field (such as JSON or XML).

> This is terrible advice.

So facebook/friendfeed, uber, dropbox, and many more or wrong then. Ok.

This is really all best practice for running something like this.

Of course it flies in the face of best practice for running a smaller system. Is there tradeoffs? Absolutely! Would it be smart to do this if the need for this scale is not obvious? Probably not.

You end up having more logic in your application and coordination layers, but this is all pretty good advice for people at this scale, and certainly not bad at all.
Parquet is a columnar format, so it's optimized for aggregations over columns filtered by a set of dimensions. TrailDB data format is optimized for discrete event analysis without aggregation: data points are granularly grouped by their source (for example a user account and actions on a website) and your queries operate on each of these groups independently. No aggregation happens in TrailDB.
But that requires changing your $600 piece of hardware in order to better serve your $200 one - let alone the other disruption changing platforms would bring.

Don't get me wrong, Android is the clear answer here but it's still difficult to justify switching. It would be great if Apple just opened up their smartwatch functionality, but alas...
You said "the citizens" when in fact it was less than 20% of the voters. Technically you are correct, but really, this vote was hardly representative of the citizenry.

Then there's the whole vague wording thing as explained above. For all we know, half of the voters didn't understand the ballot question. I'm not so sure I would have voted correctly either. What a fiasco.

>I believe that the answers to this crucial question are obscure and are unlikely to be found in conventional economic and political analysis.

I'm astounded by this comment. Are you saying that the obvious answers of asset based inflation caused by our monetary policy does not majorly impact real estate in a way that hurts younger generations and the middle class?

I can't see how. It's basic math.

If assets rise in price and two people are leveraged into assets the same amount, who gets richer, the person with a 100k asset or the person with a 500k asset?
burdensome and protectionism oriented business regulations blocks new entrants and means of doing business. When over a third of jobs require some form of certification, especially in lower paying jobs, it puts an unfair burden on employers and employees. When you can simply get government to regulate away your competition job growth is stifled.

it is always government. from sucking too much money out of the banking industry to make available for business needs to government trying to pick favorites in new industries and distorting the markets. from playing rate games, backing securities, to inducing lending risk by pressuring banks to lend to those they would prefer not too

Even the ACA damaged the ability of those to earn a living by putting in place that infamous twenty hour rule. That wasn't done to benefit working people, that was done to benefit certain types of employers but more it was done to distort unemployment numbers by artificially raising the number of people needed to do that same amount of work each week. This ain't much different than pleads to make college free, keep able bodied people off the job lines.

Sure many of the rich are getting richer but they only do so because those writing the laws are in constant election and reelection cycles. Where they try to write laws prevent you businesses and such putting money into politics but slip in rules that allow PACs to take 350k from one person; provided "wink wink" its not targeted to a specific politician.

tl;dr. Government is the source of the wage stagflation.
I think you thinking of his R-EVOL-ution (backwards LOVE) campaign, which is definitely unrelated to the Tea Party.
This seems pretty obvious to me. And at the same time, entirely not a problem.

A great example that comes to mind is the drm component that Netflix require to deliver html5 instead of that spotlight .. thing. I cannot think of any other site that has needed it - or at least, any other site I visited before it was available, that suffered for it.

And still, I consider it a requirement. That feature that I require for exactly one site.
The headline is one specific framing of the research. The more obvious takeaway for me is that "married or cohabitating in own household" has dropped significantly while living with parents, living alone/single parents/roommates, living with other relatives/group living situations have all gone up. (The study doesn't seem to break out just living alone.)

So I'm not sure the degree to which I'm inclined to read this study as "young people moving in with parents" so much as "young people not moving in with partners."

A friend of mine mentioned that they hired a COBOl guy last month. They needed someone to work on the COBOL side of things because they are doing a big rewrite. (The legacy COBOL code outlived the stuff that was supposed to eventually replace it)
Yup, I meant paging geometry. The problem with just doing a two level BVH is that some models can be very large, while others may be much smaller, which makes it hard to reserve memory for the geometry cache (even if it just fits one model per thread). Which means that you can store fewer rays in memory, and I'm not really a fan of constantly writing rays to disk. I was thinking of just cutting off subtrees of the BVH and storing those on disk, which makes it possible to assign just a few megabytes of memory to each thread for caching geometry. Not sure how efficient that would be though, probably a bit faster than rebuilding part of the BVH every time (especially when using high quality BVHs with spatial splits). Shouldn't be too bad with large ray batches, sorting and ray streams.

They do mention some tests with "out-of-core rendering of scenes with massive amounts of geometry" in the paper, but there isn't much info on it. AFAIK their patents mention streaming in geometry too.

I know that buying more RAM is probably easier, but it would be interesting to render very large scenes on commodity hardware. I guess paging in geometry is just too much of a hassle, you constantly have to stream in geometry to memory; to compute surface derivates, to do subsurface scattering, to sample arbitrary geometry lights, etc.
> Neither of them have succeeded.

What's the basis for this claim? Didn't Spotify just have to lower its family plan prices to compete?
Totally disagree with this: the tech-job market is pretty damn robust in Denver/Boulder, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, to name three that I have some personal experience with. Not to mention Austin, Dallas, Kansas City, etc.

SF, NYC, and Boston aren't the only places you can get a job.
^^^ exactly that. The rule is generally that your "principal purpose" can't be to avoid taxes (in this case). There is also the "economic substance doctrine" which actually codifies the above principle. Basically, you have to have a non-tax reason to do something -- even if the tax reasons are ridiculously great.

There are certain things where you are allowed to write into the IRS and get a Private Letter Ruling. "Business Purpose" is not one of them.

there are ethic variations if not some that developed regionally. however a lot also deals with perceptions built up over time. Farm communities tend to see this for farms passing to the next generation.

The college industry is big money and they are incessant in their message that if you spend tens of thousands you will be a success. This implies that those who don't are not trying or worse.
I think you are on to the truth of the matter, but I don't think "asset based inflation" is the conventional wisdom.

I very much view this as an intergenerational financial war, the Boomers (and Greatest) on the Millennials and X.
TextChain to create a global log
Also, if you read their engineering papers it turns out Facebook uses MySQL these days as a storage backend to a graph store and not as a relational database. They also use the replication logs to power their pub-sub system. In other words, Facebook's use case is so large scale and so throughly hacked (in a good way) that it's not necessarily a credit to the idea of using MySQL on a greenfield project.

I think this is due to economics for sure, but also I think this generation, of which I'm barely part of by the age range, has much less balls and guts than the recent previous generations.

Yes the quality of life is better, but now we have generation that just wants to coast along and ride off the successes of parents and forefathers/mothers. "I don't care if I have a shitty job and live in my parents basement, I have a smart phone and a car my parents gave me. I won't fight for better wages a better world, or my country because I'll miss watching survivor tonight. Hopefully someone gets elected to fix everything because I am too busy on facebook to vote and refuse to fight to have a life I want and can respect since it brings up uncomfortable feelings and takes effort."

I know I'm generalizing, but I'm disgusted in general with the lack of effort and spirit people in my generation seem to be putting into doing something about changing this shit. Let's just go back to our comfort cave at mom's and chill instead of giving a fuck.
I definitely plan to be more involved in future elections. That doesn't change my opinion that Austin is headed towards being a rather dysfunctional large city instead of the unique interesting medium sized city I've lived in for years. I'm not saying there isn't democracy or that there is some great injustice going on. I'm just mostly sad that a nice place to live is being slowly replaced by a poorly run place and it doesn't seem to be able to solve it's own problems. This Uber/Lyft deal is just one small example of moving in the wrong direction and fighting the wrong fights.
It does really matter how many generations one crams together, eventually net income has to pay for lodgings consumed.
No it doesn't have to. Stop moving the goalposts. The US has a free press, and under no definition does free necessarily require fair. It would be better if it had a fair press, but it is not necessary for freedom.

You're again letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
One big difference - Microsoft's stock price languished under Ballmer, while Apple's is doing fine under Cook. (I haven't compared versus the market, but I suspect that it will still hold)

Cook's legacy will be if Apple pulls off the bet on autonomous cars. Auto manufacturing is very much a logistics challenge, which plays to his strengths. It's too early to write him off.
The advantage of using C to teach algorithms and/or data structures is that it hides very little of what's actually going on, including allocations. "More code" correlates much more with "more work for the computer" than it does in higher-level languages.

If you know what you'd have to do in C to implement a certain feature, you can guess what a high-level language is probably doing under the hood when you use its canned features.
The disfunction is everywhere. Other countries might just accept the disfunction, whereas in the US we react by moving out.
I'm the same way! I try to get good at something, and then immediately move on. I am the best at nothing, and better than almost no one. But I am the only person I know that can write code, swordfight, surf, use a ham radio, play a handful of instruments, build things out of electronics, draw and paint, shoot, blacksmith, and blow glass (all at the same time -- just kidding)! I make myself very happy by being able to try something and then practicing until I get "good" in my own opinion. It's absolutely true that up against pros I am pretty terrible! I have also come to understand over the years that this is a byproduct of having a hacker mentality. I am loathe to use that word in reference to anything I am or anything I do, but that's just what I see. Hackers are curious creatures, and so it follows that they can do a lot of things.
Didn't assume either 1, 2, nor 3.
1. Perhaps your definition of "compensated sufficiently" doesn't jibe with those of the thousands of drivers who voluntarily choose to drive for Uber and similar services.
2. SOME consumers consider their time too valuable to take public transportation as you have defined it.
3. I mentioned light rail AND buses in my decidedly non-encyclopedic comment about efficiency of ridesharing. Those are two of the main options currently available in Austin.

Definitely, "the solution is a mix", but the components and proportions of that mix are best left to the consumers, not solely to central planners, whether in governments or in large corporations. Indeed, since the vote, local rideshare companies have sprung up in Austin, perhaps better suited to the needs of Austinites.
Google most certainly does not fall into the former.

Google has had multiple security incidents during the lifetime of the company that resulted in an increasing investment in upping their security profile. Operation Aurora (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aurora) was one of them (which of course bit a number of companies and was quite a sophisticated attack), but they have had other screwups, like the SRE spying incident (http://gawker.com/5637234/gcreep-google-engineer-stalked-tee...) and others.

For Dropbox, the password incident did result in major and serious change; it was a turning point resulting in significant investment in product and infrastructure security. In my admittedly biased opinion Dropbox now has one of the best security teams out there. For example the product security team invests heavily in the XSS protections on Dropbox's website that are top of class, and stronger than those on many of Google's own first party properties (I'll demur on details here at the risk of likely violating one or more NDAs, but I encourage you to read https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/category/security/).

Source: I've worked as a software engineer at both Google and Dropbox and I'm reasonably familiar with engineering, infrastructure/operational and physical security practices at both organizations.

Consider that Austin citizens who have been there longer than tech workers might have thought they had a nice place that is turning into a poorly run place due to the tech scene influence. Not an insult, just a consideration. Something to consider for anyone who decides to move to a new locale.
Thanks Kell - I must ask - did Google ever approach the French Revenue Authorities and try to get a ruling ahead of time? I assume they are arguing that Google does not have a permanent establishment in France.
>> It's been a long time since uni and my first company but at that time (90s) it was definitely not normal in my circles to live with your parents (financial mostly I guess).

I don't have any numbers to back it up, but my experience (I think we're of a similar age) was that this was true mainly for "white people with an English speaking background".

Most of my friends with an ethnic background did not have any stigmas related to living with their parents prior to marriage. This includes people who might otherwise be considered white but whose parents spoke a different language at home (Italian, Greek, Portuguese), etc. Granted, I live in Canada - there seems to be much less pressure for immigrants to assimilate vs in the US.

And Trump would solve this how?

It's not like the US would be better off with cheaper housing prices but higher percentage of people without a job due to recession.

Not in the US at the moment, so maybe Trump announced a plan for solving that issue, but the economy is far from the issue.
