>The mother being present is not required for a child to be exclusively breastfed anymore. Pumping is quite effective. The only argument for only the woman to be taking the time off and making these career compromises is one that views women as the only capable caregivers.

True that it's not required, but I suspect that when a child is in physical contact with its mother during nursing their are other benefits. For instance, the release of beneficial hormones during this type of bonding is well documented. Do you know of any studies on the impacts of bottle feeding breast milk vs nursing? (hoping I don't sound oppressive)

Hm, this will make me sounds like a smart-ass, but ever since I learned about stem cells I was wondering why one does what you do. I mean, in some fundamental way it's kind of obvious. If your cells get damaged with age, why not store young cells and reintroduce them later? I realize that this isn't nearly as simple as I described, but the fundamental concept intuitively makes sense.

I'm glad to hear about your company. And I'd kind of proud that my intuition proved correct, even though I don't know much about the field.

I guess I don't understand why any startup would pay 300-500/per desk. While I'm building I look to cut all expenses across the board and leave only the bare minimum required to function and create effectively.

Can someone give an anecdote on when a shared workspace like this was beneficial to their startup's growth?
Never communicate or discuss a dollar amount without suffixing it with "base."

All of those other perks are either known, standard, or negotiable after the fact.

In general - save for a publicly traded company issuing RSUs - base salary is the most important factor to be optimizing for.
You can also think of cancer as a consequence of multicellularity.

Multicellular organisms need checks on how often and by how much a group of their cells can multiply. A liver must contain a specific amount of liver cells, and cancer occurs when these cells are able to continually divide and eventually activate non liver specific genes.

The cells of a multicellular organism become highly altruistic because each cell of the organism gives up its ability to reproduce in order to provide a chance for the organism's gametes to produce a new living organism.

So wyldfire's original comment on Cancer being a 'feature' is not necessarily incorrect, however the explanation is.

Cancer occurs when the contract that states that the Liver cells, who cannot reproduce, become able to continually divide without checks and balances. You can also almost think of Cancer as Cellular natural selection and evolution within the body. Cancer is a feature and consequence of multicellularity and likely not adaptive in any way such as sickle cell anemia and malaria resistance.

An awesome book which touches on this in addition to other history or cancer is The Emperor of all Maladies http://www.amazon.com/Emperor-All-Maladies-Biography-Cancer/...
Both good suggestions for improvement, Andrew. I saw the performance notes, and admit I was a little torn. Quite simply, the regex! macro was interesting for the reason stated, and I left it in there for the purpose of showcasing something (a little bit) unique in Rust.

Regarding the asterisk for versioning in Cargo.toml, I also agree. When quickly putting things together, I usually start with it just to see if the default version pulled works. The great utility of Cargo.lock, effectively storing the working versions of all the crates, allows scraping the versions out of there at any time, and putting them into the .toml.

I hope you noticed the extensive links in the post, as one of the goals was to bring more people into the Rust ecosystem. The Spyglass utility does work quite well. None of us claimed it has reached a state of absolute perfection, so your comments are appreciated (and pull requests will be as well)!

Thank you.
My wifi key is also insanely difficult. Spinning that wheel and pressing down on the face to select one of the characters is so annoying, you can easily get the character next to the one you intend. And the selector for the space character isn't obvious either. I had to reset mine 3 times, and enter that key each time. I refuse to do it again, that's how annoying it is to anyone who cares about decent wifi keys

I've seen a fair amount of chargen attacks; it's exciting because for whatever reason, the response packets are very large, so they're getting fragmented, but many people are trying to fix their outgoing chargen mess, and the first fragment (the one with the UDP port number) never arrives at my servers.

Let me get this straight! You ARE reporting to a Vice President. That makes you a SENIOR Manager. You have been given the golden opportunity but you think you are SuperMan - sorry you're not - so DELEGATE !

Either promote from within or hire some junior managers - e.g. HR, etc. Work out what needs to be done and delegate. I presume you like the architecture design, etc. Once you delegate (and hold responsible) others for the roles that you do not enjoy and do not have bandwidth to handle, you can do what you enjoy.

Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. You might be surprised to discover that you were being tested to see if you could step up. You DO NOT need to learn how to do it all, you simply hire competent people to do what you are unable to.
>What? Obama wasn't elected on the strength of nice hair and Daddy's legacy.

Neither was our current PM. You're thinking the way the Conservative political strategists did. They ran their election against Trudeau Senior, not the current one.

e-bikes in the EU are limited to 17 mph, and quite low wattage, so it's not really an issue being in bike lanes, as long as you're decent about it. In the US a lot of them seem to be basically motorbikes.
1 - You shouldn't take English. "Math" is U.S. English. "Maths" is British English for Mathematics. The French also write "Maths" for "Mathématiques". In Arabic, it's رياضيات. A plural in every one of those languages.

I use U.S. English, but I mostly write "Maths". Here's for the nit-pick. Nobody can accuse you of sucking at English since the British, you know, the people who spoke English first, write it that way.

2 - How essential?

I don't know and it depends. I personally do Maths for several reasons:

* Fun. I enjoy it. I find it beautiful on the rare occasions I understand it, so it's a glimpse of what lies ahead and motivates me to keep at it despite being inept. It's something I'll keep doing until I die.

* Preemptive measure to understand things in the future so that I don't have to worry about the Maths aspect of a hypothetical topic. I'm comforted in this logic because it has helped me in the past in finding solutions (for instance, Taylor series to simplify modulation in a transistor circuit).

* Some topics require a certain sophistication: I had courses in Control Systems (continuous and discrete) and there's a bunch of topics like Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman, stability, optimal control, etc) that, if you want to understand, require a certain toolbox. You can get by without having that toolbox but you'd only be good at blindly applying formulas and computing results, basically what a computer can do better than you.

That's only my naive opinion. I don't even have a job so what do I know.
That's not true about Jobs. Jobs badmouthed apps for exactly as long as it took to build and launch support for them, as was his standard marketing strategy.

I have no doubt that there are some cases which won't match. This particular utility does not need to be 100% on for every possible corner case, to produce the desired result. That said, all improvements, whether pull request or posted suggestions, are much appreciated.

My comments regarding the regex was the very high number of cases that are correctly handled, with such a small amount of code.

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it.

> If you need to prove that a document was signed at a certain point in history

This could actually be useful though. Even with the key you can't insert new signatures into the blockchain's past. If your key is stolen, instead of invalidating the key and thus retroactively revoking every signature you've ever made, you can instead revoke only the ones made since the key was stolen.
too many to list.
I suspect a lot of it is pure population density. The US needs to make downtown areas pedestrian and bike friendly, and then allow high density development near the centre. That makes the bike lanes and the bus network self supporting.

In London there was a very big push to extend the bus network about 15 years ago, by the left-wing mayor (who had been given newly created powers). He also introduced a congestion charge for other vehicles. Both policies were quickly supported across the political spectrum. In central London few people use cars now, it is just far more of a hassle. The last mayor expanded bike lanes a lot, and now bike journeys are on course to overtake car journeys in central London.

The big development definitely helped to establish the network, but it happened on top of high density (in the number of people working in the centre, if not actually living there). And now we are getting much more housing closer to the centre.

>> On the bright side, it is opening up some long-overdue political dialogue. For example diversification of the Alberta economy away from natural resources.

As far as I know, Alberta's provincial government hasn't prevented growth in other sectors. Natural resources have made a lot of sense, giving their abundance here. And despite the roller coaster ride of natural resources, the province's finances are some of the healthiest in the entire country:
- Lowest Debt-GDP ratio in the country (-1.2% for Alberta, compared with 39.6% in Ontario and 49.6% in Quebec)
- No Provincial Sales Tax
- 3rd highest spending per capita, next to SK and NL (30% higher than Ontario and 43% higher than Quebec)
- GDP/Capita almost double of every other province
And all of that doesn't include the transfer payments which go out to the Eastern Provinces.

All that to say, I do hope your right and the tech ccene is Alberta can grow from current vacancies and other problems in the province. I think the province could really benefit from some natural growth in other sectors.

I can't think of a regular scenario where it would ever be positive to be in the doormat position.

In my experience, companies you actually want to work for will turn away the doormats.

I've actually spoken to a number of companies that have openly stated that they would not interview candidates that didn't request an amount greater than a certain dollar threshold (most recent one I can think of was >$160k base, Santa Monica).

This is the "we want skilled, assertive people" ideology taken to its conclusion.
Yes, Arianna Huffington loves talk about sleeping. And other assorted nonsense. Anything to keep the rank and file dems from noticing that the liberal elites make 100X what the rank and file do. To these ends, the dems have stolen a page out of the GOP playbook. Run interference around defense and family values so you don't notice the CEO makes 100X what you do.
We see them frequently here in Hamilton, Ontario and it's quite unfortunate - culturally, theyve ended up on the bottom rung of society. Idealists bike, pragmatists drive, so e-bikes are the domain of drunks and the unemployable.

Some people will swear that being around other people building things has value that is hard to quantify. Someone will reply with their anecdote about how, while working in a shared workspace environment, they met someone who became instrumental to their company's success. That's what I hear every time this conversation is had.

To me it sounds a bit like playing the networking lottery at a very high cost.
I think it may be tough to find texts that self-identify as "progressive" because -- in my experience as a philosophy major at a good school -- most academic literature takes it for granted that you see value in progressive positions.

To add to the other comment. There is a lot of flexibility in being able to go month to month. Not only desk count but location. Leasing a unit even a small office is a lot of hassle in silicon valley. Takes a chunk of capital and a lot of time to find a location.

Additional these places can be attractive for remote workers and freelancers. Its offers a community of individuals in same/similar industries. Clean bathrooms, usually basic amenities.

Edit: Just to add, I worked at a co-working place in downtown San Francisco. I think we spent maybe ~1 year there. Started with a couple desks, ended with maybe 8 desks and then we moved out. It gets expensive but it offers a level of flexibility that we found valuable at the time.

> I don't think the Obama administration ever spelled out why, at the same time it was promoting ESCR, it decided to also deprioritize adult stem cell research

It was all part of the same EO, which was accompanied on the same day by a Presidential Memorandum on scientific integrity in government decisionmaking on science and technology, and the rationale for the set of policy changes was explicitly to move toward allowing decisions on what avenues of science to pursue (not the goals, but the routes to the goals) to be guided by science rather than politics.

It wasn't deprioritizing adult stem cell research, it was letting the relative priority of adult stem research be set, and adjusted, over time based on science, rather than being set by political directive.
There are places in the US where it would cost money to set it to 65 and it's cheaper to set it to 77 (cough Phoenix cough).

1. The value of the Canadian dollar right now is much closer to the historical norm than it was when at parity for a relatively short period.

2. The unemployment rate is marginally higher than in the USA. It's bad here, but it's bad over there too... the recession never ended.

3. That's true, and to be honest, I'm glad it's expensive. Expensive means there is something and/or someone there worth saving. I would argue the Halifax explosion was far more decimating, but cost significantly less to respond to, as everything and everyone was there one minute and gone the next.

Canada is and was doing fine. As much as my heart breaks for Fort McMurray, in a country this large, most of us are a world away (Ontario myself) and it has had little tangible impact on us beyond a marginal increase in gas prices.

No offense, but Trudeau is not 'our Obama.' Trudeau is the son of a former Prime Minister who is attempting to implement dramatic social reforms just as his father did. Despite the easy comparison of Democrats to Liberals and Conservatives to Republicans, when you actually look at their policies it's clear they do not reside at the same points on the political spectrum.

Labor force participation rate is not a good metric either. It counts more people going to school as a negative and fails to account for changing ratios of working to retired people.
Well bikes are a little bit self limiting which helps. Me an average biker can do 20 mph for a while. Buddies who race can cruise 24, 25mph all day. But they also have really good reflexes.

Normal guy first day on the bike and 75 pound overweight? He does about 12mph. Throw him on an ebike and he can do 30mph or more (depends on the speed regulator).

Overall I am very split on ebikes. Love seeing more guys on bikes. The more bikes, the more cars expect them, the more bike friendly laws, etc. On the other hand, biking is pretty cool. ebiking is more like motorcycling.

How we came up with ‘Docker Arcade’
Do you have any other good sources? As a marketing guy who wears a lot of hats, it is hard to identify consistent titles that represent what I bring to the table, and PayScale didn't seem to be great, and Glassdoor was hit or miss (in large part due to geographic data despite living in the Bay Area where they should have lots of data).

But again, it's very difficult to discuss productivity and skill levels in generalities.

It's also very difficult to discuss the variations in market wages across cities: Southern California in my experience punches even higher than the Bay Area. Adjusting for actual cost of living and taxes, actual take-home pay in Washington and Colorado often greatly exceeds the Bay Area.
