They are conspiring to replace an existing employee. That says enough. If the organization were "healthy" they would be upfront with the existing manager and allow him/her to gracefully exit.

That they won't do this suggests that there is a lot of mistrust going on, or possibly optics with the investors around turnover -- not sure which is worse.

By taking the role, you will be viewed as having taken sides with the people recruiting you, but if anyone else on the team thinks it was done unfairly, you'll be dealing with the morale consequences, which you may paradoxically also be blamed for.

Look at it this way, the people recruiting you are one or more of the following:

- Afraid to have a grown up conversation with the manager they want to replace.

- Afraid that if they are upfront with the problem manager he/she will leave and it will take them a long time to find a replacement, during which time things may deteriorate. If you think this is the case, be sure to increase your salary/equity requirements substantially.

- Trying to sneakily get the upper hand on the problem manager by recruiting you behind his/her back. Anyone on the team you'd inherit who respected the former manager will likely assume you are part of the problem.

Also, sometimes when a manager is viewed negatively it's because someone on the team has the ear of higher-ups and is badmouthing the manager. So while it's possible that you would be getting a role that was inhabited by someone who couldn't quite pull it off, it's also possible that you're stepping into a situation with a lot of politics and a mutinous atmosphere. Perhaps ask if they are considering anyone on the problem manager's team for the role. If they are that might be a tell.

I'd approach it with caution, especially if considering leaving a role that you enjoy. At the very least, there are enough warning signs that you should only accept if you are ready to re-enter the job market if the culture is truly broken.

>A 45-story building is much more expensive than 9 5-story buildings

Including land costs, is that really true? I sort of doubt it, since those sorts of high rises are built in cities where land prices aren't that high.

> You really want your housing, jobs, education, retail, and leisure spread around such that people can conduct most or all of their daily affairs on foot.

Don't you want the opposite of that? If it is spread, you spend more time traveling. Public transit that is spread out is very hard to accomplish. Cities with that stuff all spread out are car cities.
Or, you know, we can admit there is enough food and shelter to go around for everyone and stop pretending everyone needs to work.
Oh. Sorry. You misread my comment. Yes, I know what it says, and in retrospect, I should have been clearer.

After doing a bit of simple Java programming for a bit, I thought it was okay, if a bit verbose. A while later I looked into how to start with Android development, which is what I really wanted to get into. I had seen some of the hate spewed at java, and had been having some frustrations with it myself, and was starting to feel a little unsure about the language. Little did I know...

The first few lines of the Android tutorial were, "copy-paste about 20-30 lines of code, and then type a few more. This should get you a button in the middle of the screen that says "hello world."

This is the moment when I gave up on Java. Because that wasn't me, tossing my warped ideas, taken from other languages at the thing. These were professionals, who wrote an API, and clearly thought that this level of boilerplate was acceptable, nay, necessary.

If it takes 20+ lines to instatiate a simple component, and have it say, "hello world," than how do you write applications in this thing? In JS, I could've been done in less than 5 lines (android uses an interface builder, so the comparison isn't unqualified). In TCL, this is maybe two lines. In C, maybe the program would have been comparable, but in C, you have to malloc and instantiate objects that the library and runtime take care of for you in java. There is no excuse.

The fact that Java didn't have lambdas, still lacks many common features from higher level languages, and locks you an an OO straitjacket is irritating for me sometimes, but understandable. The verbosity, on the otherhand, is unneccessary, unusable, and unacceptable.

Reasonable people may disagree.
The operative word there is "might." Greece has free education. Their educated youth are fleeing as fast as they can. Not very profitable. All that free education also somehow failed to prevent their chronic debt crisis and general decline. It's almost as if economic prosperity is more involved than just distributing free stuff........

I disagree, if the displaced labor uses platforms on top of internet to build a business than its somewhat a true statement..

BUT, that is where we are at now with our FUNDS miss-allocated to some other task rather than the encouragement of small business growth

>But not the money to pay for these jobs.

This is wrong, in my estimation. Money exists right now that is lying idle, and moreover the more money is used, the more becomes available.

The past decade saw an enormous effort to dump money into the economy, to no avail. Nor is this new, there is even a name for this sort of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidity_trap

The problem is not the lack of money, the problem is that vast majority of capital is controlled by a small group of people with limited vision and pecuniary interests.

These people will never allocate capital towards the enormous list of demands that go unfilled every day; nor should we expect them to. No one will build a road in your shitty small town just for your good health.

The more we structure our economy to produce this situation (concentration of wealth), the less we will find that unexpressed demands are being met by that economy.

>you have governments who are determined to avoid a panic at all costs, but the process of panics & financial crises is what sweeps short-term-oriented people out of the market

Exactly, which turns these "short term bubbles and money-grabbing schemes" into long term institutionalized parasitic organizations which slowly erode the foundation for small business. A healthy forest sees many small forest fires to clean out the dead brush. Without these small fires, a major fire event can wipe out a forest.

>FWIW I think this triangle notation is also misleading in its own way. Students have to memorize arbitrary rules about how "mirroring" the triangle changes the operations at each corner, and whether they actually connect that to the underlying arithmetic operations is just as tenuous as with the classical notation.

Yes, this times 10^100.

One thing to remember is that all notation is yes, tradition, but that tradition is somewhat subject to natural selection, which I'd argue is selection for ease of use. This is for example why we use symbolic notation in the first place, because it is more convenient once it's been learned.

I'm not sure how to deal with this. Perhaps one way is to teach the long, tedious way, just do a bazillion multiplications and then say, hey, exponentiation makes it much easier to write! That's usually how we get students to appreciate short-cuts in the first place. Teaching them the short-cut without at least giving them a taste of the internals is usually a recipe for bad abstractions disconnected from the internals.

The problem with building mid sized apartments everywhere, is that now you have to be involved in political fights everywhere.

With high rise buildings, all you need to do is convince ONE place to build a bunch of them. Perhaps in a place such as south SOMA, which is packed with industrial warehouses that could be replaced with apartment sky scrapers.

Nobody is going to be gentrified when the old dirty warehouses in south SOMA get replaced.
Of interest perhaps, here is a full source code of an Android phone software and its baseband firmware:

Actually there is some .o files in the baseband but easy to pull apart in IDA. Each one relates to a single .c and there are export symbols.
> You'll have to learn mandarin, which will take many years.

Why would it? Is it really that complex a language?

How different is learning Mandarin than learning German, French, Russian, English or Greek? I understand that the writing system is probably much more complex and requires much more memorization than the other languages mentioned, but other than that, what about grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation?
SF is not in SV.
This is the problem with our current first world financial system, it is predicated on constant growth. Even the slightest hiccup in growth leads to serious consequences for the over leveraged and make no mistake most of our safety nets are over leveraged and dependent upon unrealistic gains when faced with a stagnant to declining population.

The Great Aging is underway, the EU last year had more deaths than births and will for the foreseable future, Japan has been there for a little while and China's working age population is already in decline. Africa, the Middle East/India and parts of South America are the only places experiencing actual population growth, when immigration is not taken into the equation. With Demographics and Automation deflation is the likely outcome. The Central Banks are trying all they can to prevent this from happening in the near term by spending Trillions of dollars to prop up economies and drive interest rates lower to eek out some inflation. They seem not to care whether growth is actual demand growth or simply a mirage in terms of inflation. The central banks are doubling down their efforts and will be even more accomodative in the next few years when the growth they continue to state is right around the corner never materializes.

Unfortunately I do not see a way out of this without the developing nations taking care of themselves.
Key is how labor spends that newly acquired money. Will that spending actually create something productive or just rising property prices.
In a good place I would think. I still prefer their service model over the others. Plus with the Music Genome (arguably their secret sauce) maybe they have value above simply streaming music?
Well... we don't have a real long track record and past performance isn't indicative of future gains. I agree with you, but we are kind of speeding into the unknown. Which like any adventure is risky.

Hunter gatherers were real stable for a long long time. One person, or even a fairly large group of people couldn't cause much trouble.

We're moving much faster, which again i think is cool, but it's much riskier. An obvious one, there are enough nuclear weapons to wipe out humans in a few hours. I don't think nuclear war is coming any time soon, but we've only been at this 'high tech' stuff (i'm picking agriculture, neolithic revolution) for about 10,000 years. Wealth of nations is around 250 years old - traders are much older of course, but 10k seems like a good upper bound. Can we avoid nuking ourselves for 10k years? I sure hope so.

Anyway, there are existential risks, and other, less dangerous things like world wars that have the potential to be much worse than a guy with a club.

Also, there's not much incentive in the system to not wreck the system. For, example "The big short" is a fun movie. "Too Big To Fail" is a much more in depth look.

I guess, my point is, That strategy is a powerful tool. It's not a pat answer to all the world's woes. It's wise to treat it like any other dangerous piece of equipment. Be aware, be alert. It's ok to take a little more time with power tools to avoid cutting off an arm.

I second your question. The only downside of sending both cookies on each request is a bigger request size, which is not a bad trade-off for much simpler client (no service workers, everything is managed by cookie jar)

Also, the approach with 2 cookies (statefull + stateless) is known for a long time. Eran Hammer (author of OAuth1 and OAuth2 specs) wrote about using this approach at Yahoo here: https://sideway.com/room/4Z (search for Yahoo).
What? No. MethodMissing is far more limited than proxies. Proxies are effectively a far more complex version of Python's properties.

@observable isn't part of the language, and indeed may use proxies under the surface.
My point is, why would you duplicate documentation both on the canonical source and in Stack Overflow?

For example, Flask [1] has a great and complete documentation, but still someone is starting to duplicate it on SO Docs. Why are we wasting time duplicating things instead of improving what's already there?

I am fully aware of the definition of race. The vast majority of Muslim's are non-white. To ban all Muslim's is to ban hundreds of millions of non-white's from the US. Banning hundreds of millions of non-whites from entering the US sounds pretty racist to me.

In regards to your comments on policing. I guess the black man who was shot today, unarmed, with his hands in the air and fully complying with police orders was just another outlier? How many black people need to be killed by police officers before you would consider race to be an issue? 130? 140? The prevalence of cell phone video has exposed an issue that has been present for a long time in the US.

Whether are not you think there is a "huge" problem with racism in the US, at least there is no doubt that there is a problem. Argue over the size of that problem if you'd like, but realize that openly racist groups have uniformly endorsed Trump for a reason.

edit: deleted reference to "white" officers because I don't think it is relevant.

At the moment.

In a world with no demand for labor, there is an implication that the cost of goods would be dominated only by supply scarcity. For commodity goods, they would essentially be free.

200 years ago a real shirt would cost you ~$2000 in today's currency (land -> sheep -> farmers -> spinsters -> dyers -> weavers -> tailors). Now a decent shirt costs $40.

Eventually artsists won't starve, even with minimal income. Ideally, hopefully.
Population density in "Tokyo" is much higher than you describe at 15k/km2 on average with many wards of 300-500k persons that are OVER 20k/km2. The Tokyo Metropolis includes Yokohama which is 30km away (it's like including all of Marin/San Mateo/Oakland), while the Met Area you describe would be like the whole Bay Area down to San Jose and halfway to Sacramento.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_wards_of_Tokyo

Seoul, HK, Beijing are similar and I think India has much higher densities still. Population densities in many parts of the world are much higher than SF. I could take a picture out of my window right now of a block of ~200x30story apartment blocks right next to each other standing like soldiers. It's not rare.

Do I want that for SF? No, but the density isn't that extreme... unless you're talking about total $ borrowing power of the individuals involved.
Yes, but those aren't the projects that dictated the featureset of C.
I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully the wrong people never find it. It's no wonder they didn't want him sharing their picture, I hope he changed the actual names.
NYC density in FiDi is 27,812/km2 actually. There are TONS of places in SF that are much lower than this.
The difference between structural typing and behavioral typing is subtle. In Scala, you're essentially asking the type system to check for the presence of a member function on the object with a specific type signature. Since the function is contained within the object, you're still only typing based on the object's structure (hence: structural typing).

In Julia, objects are data-only and methods are defined at a module level. So, whereas Scala's structural typing need only introspect the object being passed as an argument, Julia's behavioral typing requires introspection of the entire dispatch tree. The benefit to behavior typing and Julia's multi-dispatch is that if you are missing one or two methods for some type in order to be able to use it in some function, you can always define the missing methods locally.
I assume this works because the mosquitoes don't want to get eaten. Unless this somehow causes chickens to evolve to no longer eat mosquitoes, it seems unlikely this effect would diminish over time.

I'm looking for potential new open source projects. Knowing about the software and its use helps me figure out if its doable (for me).
First, there are plenty of jobs, but not enough people that have decided to develop themselves enough to have the skills to do them. For example (a real life one, unfortunately for me): I need a biopsy of a mass near my heart, but the current waiting time for this procedure here in Seattle (at both major hospitals) is two months.

What we do have is plenty of regulations that constrain the supply of physicians, services, medical supplies, insurance, and everything else needed to perform operations. It is one of the most un-free markets in America, with predictably disastrous results. Sure, those laws prevent a few people from being duped by charlatans, but they also prevent people like me - who are willing to sit on the phone for hours and days, and willing to do research for weeks on end - the possibility of a longer life.

--

There are also plenty of regulations that are limiting career mobility, both in medicine and in other fields. An example of this is that anything that makes it hard for employers to fire people also makes it more costly for them to hire different people (because that new person is an unknown, and therefore risky, as the employer has to hold onto them longer, even if they aren't willing/able to produce.)

EDIT: I'd like to add that the idea that some people are destined to be doctors (and some aren't) is completely wrong. I was a premed in college (molecular biology degree, worked in a research lab on campus full-time for two years after graduating), and I gave up on the MD track after talking to a few younger doctors. They all told me to quit while I could because they were all in 200k+ in debt, and couldn't switch out of their careers because of it, and they were miserable (tons of useless paperwork, not a lot of progress either in research or with patients). So I went into software, where you don't have to convince a committee to give you permission to make a new app.
Great points, thanks for bringing clarity to a rushed comment.

You're very right that increased competition could lead to losses. However, this is a short term destabilization with a maximum duration of capital reserves. It is the net profit of the firm that determines it's long term viability.
Agreed. I hate how people keep casually mentioning that "oh, you could just build up n% of the low-rise areas", as if convincing all those neighborhoods to go along with it and replacing all those buildings were somehow easier -- politically or otherwise -- than 20 SoMa/FiDi high-rises.
Considering the amount of data it takes to train an A.I., there isn't much threat to it taking human related jobs quickly, even less so in emerging industries.

You could hand wave about 10 years from now all the software jobs are replaced by A.I., but there will be entirely new industries in place that we can't really conceive of right now.

Case in point: Imagine if someone told you in 2006, that there would be a $70 Billion mobile app industry consumed by over a billion people worldwide, using some fantastic new device that's only vaguely similar to the flip phone in your hand.

I always wonder, how people can associate effectiveness, success and other positive things with the current developments. The price of the progress, as we experience it today, is enormous. Exhaustion of natural resources, severe climate change, not to mention societal costs. We see a rapid rise in violence across continents and this seems to be just the beginning. I can easily see the western world turning into totalitarian cyber-police states within the next ten years, just to protect against all those humans who are left disillusioned, without jobs, perspectives or with bullshit jobs and basically a life, that some of them will happily trade away for some moments of meaning, when they detonate themselves in a crowded place.

May I ask, is this what you call success?
The future of Kazakhstan is highly unstable. The current slightly benevolent dictator has no good processor and the development of Kazakhstan is mostly dependent of oil, so when renewable energy becomes the norm and rhe president dies in the coming ten years the country will probably implode.
