No, in practice the commenter you responded to is right. "In practice" refers to actuality.

The fact that some politicians have talked about proposing changes to the current status does not change the current actually-true situation.

I think you missed the point of the article. At the risk of explaining the obvious: the "my" in "Close My Tax Loophole" doesn't refer to just the author; it refers to all venture capitalists and money managers. The author may very well be donating the extra taxes, but he wants others in his profession to do the same.
If you feel strongly about it, you can donate on his behalf.
Uber may be fighting against the law, but when the government does not respect the democratic will of the people, it is actually ok and in the long run will benefit all.

I'm based in Helsinki, Finland and Shanghai, China (50/50). Two very different countries in all aspects. In both countries government used to regulate taxis and today China does not anymore but Finland still does.

In Finland taxis are very new (BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Tesla etc.) and expensive (supported with tax payers money) and they are REALLY expensive to take. Way too expensive. This may sound ridiculous, but in my home town (major Finnish city) during the weekends it was common for people to walk home 7-10km after the night out, because taxis are so expensive. They are not seen as normal transportation service but instead more as a luxury service that you have to carefully consider before taking. They are still very safe, clean, have their own Uber-like app etc. Finns have demanded many many years (long before Uber) for the taxi-monopoly to be destroyed, but the government has happily turned a blind eye to them. Ubers in Finland are usually Toyotas or Volkswagens, quite new and clean. Prices are only 50-60% of traditional taxis.

So what about China? Taxis are old/medium-level volkswagens, little dirty, driver may be smoking inside the car, quite safe but there are many people playing with the meter or overcharging in some other ways. Some drivers are also really greedy and arrogant: They may ask you where are you going before letting you into the car and if they don't like the route they'll not take you. Anyway they are relatively affordable for average people in China. When Uber and it's Chinese competitor DiDi came to the market, the government was confused at first but later legalized them when they realized that competition will benefit all in the long run.
Now? Uber and Didi are extremely popular, significantly cheaper than traditional taxis, clean, safe and no more people have to worry about getting bullshitted with the cab fare.

So once again Uber made things better for all. Sometimes breaking the law in not only acceptable, but required for a greater good and change to happen. In Finland however it might take a while since the government is still living in their 1950s mentality and currently hunting down Uber drivers and suing them.

Some might say it's wrong that Uber is putting all the responsibility on the driver. You know what? It's not.
They know what they are signing up for and besides if Uber as a company was responsible for every single incident all over the world in every country, the company wouldn't exist anymore. No investor money could cover all those fines. The current way is the only way Uber can exist and only way the change can happen.

I wish articles would make it clear if they are using inflation-adjusted figures or not. Looking at the source document, the above is not adjusted for inflation.

Therefore it's $2,200,000 in today's dollars[1]. A non-trivial amount even for a big studio.

Subversion was (to my surprise) only released in 2000, so you'd have to migrate from something even older -- perhaps CVS (released in 1990)? RCS was released in 1982, so you might have migrated from that. SCCS was released in 1972, so they MIGHT have used it, and kept those migrations going. But my guess is they fudged the git history as some weird type of historical documentation of where these languages came from?
Yeah... try it at the LCS.

Twitch's tech blows in every aspect imaginable. Shitty site, shitty flash, shitty mobile experience, shitty stream. It's a pity they have such a stronghold on streamers+viewers.
I'd have to guess it would be conflict resolution. Imagine two separately imported packages for which you didn't write that add a method in on a type from a third package you didn't write, all with the same name/method signature. How does the compiler you know which of the implementations to use?

You seem to be disputing a bunch of statements nobody made; all was said was "algorithms are implemented with data structures", and that example fits - you need a data structure to implement that algorithm. That's all that was claimed.
The behaviour of the politicians is not a baffling as the Reason authors make it seem. Money-making industries can be troublesome for their locales.

When I lived in London I thought it was a great city but felt there was "too much money" in it. I.e. finance people could drive up prices for the rest of us. But then again, it was that very money that made the place great.

So while zero-sum leftism is silly, it is still in the interest of San Fransicans to try and grab some of the IT bonanza through taxes. A vindictive one-indsutry only tax is ugly, but property-value taxes would get right to the heart of the problem.
Interesting that Switzerland had way more math PhDs than France and Austria in the early 20th. Which part of Austria Hungary was counted? Was this an effect of the wars?

> its essence just because we're afraid of big words and the opinions of experts.

I think most of the distaste for terms like Monad, is a failure to communicate it's meaning to a lot of people, it reminds me a lot of Enterprise Java terminology with terms like factories, abstract/factories, Bean, ect, that provide just as much intuition into their own meanings from their names. And when you look up their meanings you get hit with even more obtuse terminology. Like for example a in a less formal discussion about programming, a term like "pure functions", can simply described as "stateless function" [1]. You don't need to automatically reach for the big words, when a more commonly understood word sufficiently communicates something. Unfortunately I'm not so sure there's such a word for monad however.

In the case of Elm, it has this approach to naming things with less formal names where it can use something more comprehensible. The author of the Elm language mentions this in a talk of his [1] (just scroll to the section on being direct).

I really see this more as a communication issue, not everyone in software has a duel degree in abstract mathematics & computer science, let alone a degree.

That point was not made. The author wants the government to solve the problem. Not a single call to action to other VCs was made to solve the problem by themselves. The author should create the "VC Group for Local Change" and pick a few missions and hire a few people to address them, and stop asking the Federal Government to solve all problems that there are simply by throwing money over the fence to make themselves feel good. It's not like we have an effective Federal Government.

That was just one sentence among many examples of how regulation of the rental market causes problems. And even if only a part of the property base is under rent control, it is a part of the market, and has impact on the whole of the market. Moreover, attempts to increase the scope of rent control are also a risk for potential developers and thus decrease the incentive for construction.

However, outside the usual Assar Lindbeck quote, I wouldn't believe that rent control is the biggest thing in SF area - regulation of construction, the difficulty to get zoning and permits, is the biggest problem. I don't live there but in Europe, but we suffer from the same problems: politicians are unwilling to acknowledge the existence of market forces, [edit]
or they imagine and pretend that they can control those forces merely with a because-we-say-so, so they speak of rent control, but the real solution is to allow more construction.
What I don't buy is why it's okay to generalize your imposter syndrome to an industry as a whole.

"Maybe I feel differently about this because I'm not in a major tech hub"

Read: "I can afford to live in a comfortable place and not a closet, so let me generalize such that no dev can afford to live in historically relevant software hubs either."

Next, lest this selfish hot take get too tonedeaf, time to write off our 6 figure privilege! Since this is a recent accomplishment, let's ditch any sort of humility toward the the talented software minds who came before who made the efficiencies of our day jobs possible. Instead, we'll roll with some terrible analogies to completely non-sequitur professional industries!

• I'm not performing life-altering surgery, because emotional hyperbolic appeals will distract from the fact I base my insight into the most valuable industry in the world on 7 paragraphs of anecdotes. Forget that the fundamentals of medicine and the practice thereof bear almost no relation to that of computer science and software development.

• Wheee! I love talking about dentists with mansions. I got my teeth cleaned last Saturday, and I've never had to be on call for any sort of systems admin role. Speaking of things I've never had to do, thank god I come from an ever increasing minority of people who can afford to live a comfortable lifestyle without taking on student loan debt early in life.

• I don't need a graduate degree to get precious time in a lab with equipment I absolutely must have to do my job. Unclear if I've ever met anyone who's tried to further themselves with a IT licensure, but since those aren't in vogue any more, I'll just make dreamy comparisons to one of the most antiquated, regulated industries out there. I've worked less, but people I know are stuck in debt forever working 80+ hour weeks in BigLaw!

Despite the option of a meaningful career alternative to the above, developers shouldn't try to build on their gains. Let's just foreclose even the notion that there are people working out there who are underpaid because they don't have coworker peers, or they are just the "IT guy", or are a woman or minority, or because some doctor, dentist, or lawyer has an idea.

"My lifetime earnings won't be that different because I got such a tremendous head start"
...so why should I try to build others up?

In these kind of discussions, I often point out how software is pretty unique in that due to supply/demand, there's no labor unions or collective bargaining. But maybe it's a good thing, because I'd never want you speaking for me when it comes to how much any of us are being paid.
This doesn't support or explain the lack of supply which is the core problem.
If I drive drunk, I put others at unavoidable risk.

Well, if it was migrated to Subversion from CVS on the day Subversion came out, that gets us back to 2000.

If it was migrated to CVS from RCS on the day CVS was released, that gets us back to 1986.

If it was migrated to RCS from SCCS on the day RCS came out, that gets us back to 1982.

SCCS showed up in 1972, just in time for this commit.
Yep.

I still hesitate to even consider deploying rails or node.js applications.

It's just too many things to learn and keep up to date with.

Of course if you already develop in rails or node.js or run some other services already that might not be an issue.

But to me - unless it is apt-gettable - a standalone binary (typical go), war or jar file has a huge advantage.
The problem is that some (perhaps many) of those people did not make that choice, but still have to suffer the consequences imposed on them by the majority that did. And when you say that it's not our business to intervene into their internal matters, or even judge them, you completely ignore those people.

Rights of the collective do not trump rights of individuals.

Excellent article. The only reason SF is an outlier is because the housing supply is an outlier. Japan is an excellent counter example as well.
I understand that it's racial bias to assume that someone is more likely to commit a crime given the color of their skin, but at the same time given that thats a reasonable assumption, I also think it's very reasonable to put your own safety above social progress.

I think, in both cases, they are promoting vigilantism.

One is promoting it directly: by inciting the citizenry to murder.

The other is promoting it indirectly: by shamelessly engaging in it himself.

Yes, the former is worse. But they're both evil, and both are social poison.
It seems to me that the redundancy is more with issue tracking software. More specifically, have two-way references between the issue tracking software and the VCS.

That's cute but not how the world works. Employers will rarely explicitly ask you to do free overtime because that's illegal in many jurisdictions. What happens instead is this: an unrealistic deadline will be imposed and you will be expected to meet it. How you will go about doing that is up to you, but it usually assumes working overtime if you want to keep your job.

Maybe - but in many countries it isn't. In my European country, calling a cab means always talking to the operator (often after 2m ringing) and then waiting 10-30m. Around 10% of the time it never comes, so you'll have to call again. When it finally does, your reward is paying an extra fee for having called.

Then there are the zones; your home is a bit outside the city? The meter will be running - at an increased rate! - before the car even arrives.
Only a bit for the 'look who I published with' factor, but a lot when it comes to teaching how to get published, how to do efficient research and work ethic in general. Unfortunately it's almost impossible to know up front how your relationship with your advisor will play out.
It's one of those things that's easy if you're of the right class and have the right contacts. Another example would be Holmes raising billions for Theranos through people who were all friends of her family. You need to know the right people to stake you the initial sum (and who will collect their fee for doing so). A few years at a big bank, then Harvard Business School should do it. Oh and also you need to be completely amoral.
Here is a good podcast on this subject: http://thestartupchat.com/ep126/

A significant number of the self-funded startup people that I come across used the stair-step approach that's described in the podcast.
Certainly the potential for new regulations that limit rental rates has a negative effect on the supply of new construction.
It wasn't just 'in the movies' - it was for real.

Did it work? So long as the troubled kids got through '2 years' - then I would argue that it worked.

'Back in the day' - the Army was a job for people who were somewhat patriotic, but it was also a job - at least for privates, it was pretty straightforward. As long as you 'did your work' - it would keep someone focused on doing something, and I suggest they would be 'much better off' than having spent the time in jail.

'Back in the day' - almost everyone was patriotic to some extent. 'Slacker' might have been someone who didn't wear a hat in public (!) or later, had 'long hair' (!). These kinds of people aren't hardened criminals or bad people, just people off the path, that need some bit of motivation - even if it's a little coerced.

And even 'back in the day' when military standards were not so hardcore - I there was still enough 'value' work being done, enough of a cause for them to 'mostly believe in'.

I think it would be a great program for some kids, even to this day.

Prison is the worst thing for not-quite-real criminals. It creates a really negative atmosphere, hardens them, depresses them - it's like the absolute worse possibly 'peer pressure' situation imaginable. The worst role models possible.

This guy is not a bad kid. He's more of a 'catcher in the rye' type - just needs to find his path. When you are pushed a little bit on a path for a couple years, that includes a very rudimentary amount of 'getting up' 'doing something constructive' 'learning something' 'applying yourself' ... then I think you have enough momentum (and hopefully a few dollars in the bank) to possibly do something afterwards.

I'm Russian, and I've heard plenty about how Putin regime supports far right-wing in Europe from Russian sources for several years now. Russian lefties (the actual ones, who call themselves "socialists" and really mean it, Marx in hand - not what you call that in US) are especially vigilant in that regard, and will bring it up whenever they do something like inviting leaders of far-right parties for a conference.

Russia essentially is, in many respects, what European and American far right desires to be (which is why they generally tend to have a positive opinion of it). Its propaganda, both inside and outside, is clearly reminiscent of that - for example, the usual topics of "Western decadence" are brought up a lot, with the implication that Russia has nothing to worry in that regard. Naturally, these kinds of opinions lend to political alliances with far-right Western parties that share a lot of the same worries.

It's not that most people can't take their mind off of work, it's that they often have to meet various unrealistic deadlines, or else. It's not their own choice, insofar as they want to keep their job.
> Emacs takes tens of seconds up to a minute.

That's because the article is pretty much boilerplate. It's the same hackneyed arguments that's always trotted out with no attempt to actually analyze the very real problems in San Francisco and the surrounding area.

Cases in point: The author blames two classic boogeymen: control and tenant protection laws. As you pointed out, rent control simply doesn't apply here. As far as tenant protection laws scaring off landlords, even that doesn't hold up to even the most cursory analysis. As the meme says, "The Rent is too damn high." If landlords were really holding apartments vacant at sizable rate, the rents would increase even higher and The Market(tm) would simply bring the vacant apartments online because the expected value of the apartment would simply be too great to ignore. Finally, if you follow the link that says "thousands of units are simply being kept off the market", you find out that the unit in question is actually rented to family instead of perfect strangers. Which is to say, the unit isn't vacant.
It is up now. It was down for some time.
> The advantage of Uber has nothing to do with price and everything to do with grotesque incompetence on the part of the taxi operators.

Which is why in Europe things like Hailonand MyTaxi are taking off. They put a level of indirection between you and the driver by handling the payment and receipt. They are great as a result. The rest of the uber experience I care a surprising little amount about.
Most, if not all, of this can be avoided first and foremost by not committing the crime to begin with. That starts with having quality parents instilling the right vales in their children and making sure they get a quality education at least through high school. Furthermore, it has been asserted that college isn't even a guarantee but learning the trades can be much more beneficial to gainful employment.
