SF has had two housing crashes in the last 30 years. This discourages building large numbers of apartments. There's a tall apartment building near Twitter HQ which was vacant for over a decade. It takes a long time to pay off an apartment building. The boom may not last. Check out the Pink Slip Parties of 2001, when it collapsed last time.[http://www.sfgirl.com/gallery_pink/pinkslip4/ps4.html].

It will all start tumbling down when Twitter goes under. Their stock has gone from 70 to 18 in the last year and a half, and they're not profitable. Figure that anything that's large and not profitable at this stage in the cycle is headed for trouble.

They don't. It's made up.
There a many valid places to use the word 'log'. Anything that you want to note can go in some kind of a log. A change log is a log of changes. Your users will want to see the changes that are relevant to them, and they vastly outnumber the developers who want to see a commit log.

Code may be read more than it is written, but it is not read far more than either. You really should have both logs: one detailed for development, and one for your users.
I particularly liked the use of the opposite statement in Fargo[0] despite it not being a true story.

This is a true story. The events depicted in this film took place in Minnesota in 1987. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.

Which was later used in the Fargo TV series[1]

Heh, here is where i write most of my 3D game engine's code (slightly older image, but still applies):

The same image provides the reason too :-) (hint: look the compile time, it is for a full build).

Although the code is very portable and compiles under any Windows compiler i've tried (including MSVC, MinGW/GCC, OpenWatcom, Digital Mars C/C++, Pelles C and of course Borland) as well as GCC and Clang under Linux and OS X (both compilers under both OSes). I often use VS2015 for debugging.

Interesting point, sfc (specific fuel consumption) is only really density altitude and humidity dependant, since it's only calculated on a per engine basis, but a fixed wing aeroplane's range can be greatly affected by the weight and balance of the plane, ie whether the elevators need to be adding upward or downward pressure to the tail section to maintain a cruise attitude

This is a false analogy, because on the whole, carpenters aren't paid to think. A better analogy would be if the carpenter kept on building the house (or whatever) even after leaving work - an impossible feat, which just shows the unique challenges of knowledge work.

Don't know about Singapore, but they do it the same way as taxis the world over - they either find some place that's out of the way of traffic, like a side street or driveway (especially if the stop will take a while)... or they just sit there disrupting traffic and make people deal with it. Usually it's either a multi-lane road, or a smaller low-speed road where traffic can slow down a little and squeeze by. Not strictly ideal, but people cope.
First I thought this story was about math and numerical errors. But it's actually about auto- formatting and auto-correction.

"Excel automatically converting gene names to things like calendar dates or random numbers"

In this case, I think what is needed is some kind of rudimentary knowledge of data-types. Or perhaps more simply a scientific template which is actually plain text by default.

But how are people not noticing auto-correction and auto formatting taking place!

The only perfect solution is to hire a developer to build you a data entry system. The developer can build the system which they have no cause to entirely understand the science behind, and thus a human to take the blame for errors instead of excel.

Inflation is one reason, as the capital "gains" resulting from inflation are taxed.

Another reason is businesses need investment capital. Do you want to incentivize people providing that, or discourage it?

PMSuite v0.012
I think the article also tells a lot about the C++ style the author uses. Probably mostly class and inheritance oriented, no big uses of templates. That kind of style somehow worked with VC6. VC6 never liked the template-oriented style (boost-style), and even when it compiles intellisense would mostly not work. In my experience this was first improved with VS2013, which together with VS2015 provides a quite good experience for those codebases which use a fast amount of C++ features.

Personally don't think VS13/15 are noticeably slow, on a halfway modern development PC the experience is quite ok (lots better than using Atom for anything). I also had good experiences with QT Creator, although I used it mostly for QT related projects.
Why is the auto-convert 'features' in Excel not opt-in?

When Excel encounters the first cell in a new sheet that it thinks should be auto-converted, why does it not ask if that is desirable for that sheet?

Like: "Do you want Excel to interpret and auto-convert all strings with format <X> into the type <Y> in this sheet?"

At least for conversions where the original data is lost.

The Environment Prior to Proposition 13

Prior to Proposition 13, the property tax rate throughout California averaged a little
less than 3% of market value. Additionally, there were no limits on increases for
the tax rate or on individual ad valorem charges. (“Ad valorem” refers to taxes
based on the assessed value of property. ) Some properties were reassessed 50%
to 100% in just one year and their owners’ property tax bills increased accordingly.

Proposition 13 Tax Reform

Under Proposition 13 tax reform, property tax value was rolled back and frozen at the
1976 assessed value level. Property tax increases on any given property were limited
to no more than 2% per year as long as the property was not sold. Once sold, the
property was reassessed at 1% of the sale price, and the 2% yearly cap became
applicable to future years. This allowed property owners to finally be able to estimate
the amount of future property taxes, and determine the maximum amount taxes could
increase as long as he or she owned the property.

Zulip is also open source and an alternative. It shares some of the same features as Mattermost. Mattermost seems to compete more directly with Slack; Zulip is more like IRC++. (For those from the MIT or CMU world, it's basically Zephyr with a web interface and a pile of features on top.)

Full disclosure: my company has been using Zulip since before it was F/OSS.
Yep, a great division of labor created that wealth for the company, and the developer is not entitled to 15% of it's revenue (or even profit) just for that work. This isn't a practical issue though. The everyday situation is not that a undeserving worker is granted a large ownership stake, it's that an undeserving financier/executive/founder is.

A few years ago I was living in Boston across the harbor. The only way to get there is via subway (which closes at midnight) or via car through an underground/underwater tunnel.

If I hailed a cab and make the mistake of disclosing my destination before getting in the car, they'd usually just drive off without saying anything. If I got in the car before telling them where I was going, they'd often start making a fuss and listing off excuses as to why they couldn't go there, and I'd basically have to "force" them to drive.

I never got such grief from Uber.

It's 100% okay to talk about this, but if we do talk about this, let's also talk about what happens when you get the local politicians to enshrine your particular business model in law and block all your competition from stealing your property - I mean, your customers.

I prefer to use AWS services that don't require any "spinning up": CloudFront/ACS/S3 for static web files, API Gateway/Lambda for backend, IoT for websockets. It takes some effort to configure everything, but then there's pretty much zero maintenance involved, so you can move on to other projects and keep the old ones running at very low cost.

I think the op overstates the power of these statements. Take the south park intro. It doesn't provide absolute cover for libel. If they make statements about people that to a normal person's understanding are not clear parody, they can still be sued.

This seems to be a trend among many highly paid fields:

- Many doctors earn 100k or 3-400k depending on their field.

- Many small business owners earn <100k or make a killing, depending on their field, goals, and success/luck.

- 9 out of 10 startups outright fail or aren't successful enough to compensate founders & employees for the opportunity cost.
There is no doubt that the amount mentioned is the amount awarded at the time. There are several clues:

1) The amount. The odds that an amount awarded would, when adjusted for inflation, come out to exactly £25,000 is infinitessimal.

2) The language. The first and direct meaning of the sentence is that he's telling you what the jury awarded at the time of the award.

3) The lack of language. It's highly unlikely that a writer would give you the value today without mentioning that he'd converted the amount to "today's dollars."

Given that all three clues point in the same direction, you can safely conclude without being explicitly told that the award amount is stated using the original number.

Carried interest, in my opinion isn't a capital gain unless the investor's own capital is at risk. However, let's talk about 'normal' capital gains. When you risk your own capital, you are obviously going after a reward, however the downside is that you can lose your capital. So a lower tax rate makes sense in order to incentivize the risk. Look at the property market in France for instance: the housing market is far less liquid than the US and that results in much higher housing prices because fewer people are going to sell their property if they lose 50% of the gain to taxes. That constricts supply and increases prices. There is definitely more to French housing than that, but the point is that high taxation reduces the benefit of selling something which disincentivizes selling, resulting in higher prices which doesn't harm the property owner as much as people trying to buy houses. In other words, high capital gains taxes reduces market liquidity. That means that capital that could be invested in something else is 'locked up' in an asset that isn't profitable to sell. That means some startup or some small business can't get access to capital they need to grow and expand -- or even get started in the first place. Look at VC activity in France vs. San Francisco. The difference isn't entirely cultural but a result of more expensive capital. Many European investors are far more conservative than US investors not because they want to be but because the incentives are stacked against aggressive or innovative investing, the types of which are responsible for many of the companies at which many people reading this work.

So why incentivize risking own's capital? $1 million could seed a company that grows to dozens of employees, while if that $1 million were taxed at 50% that means that the government has to use the resulting $500k to provide utility for society. $500k could mathematically provide 10 jobs at $50k per year for one year. However, that million dollar seeded startup could create dozens of jobs as well as tax revenue from the resulting profit as well as tax income from all of the employees. A highly highly simplified example but the point is that a million in the marketplace has the potential to become multi-millions in future tax revenue. While that money in government doesn't have the same force multiplier potential unless you profess that we are on the far left of the Rahn Curve and government isn't yet big enough to support maximal economic output.

My long drawn out point: incentivizing capital gains incebtivizes economic growth. Carried interest (on other people's capital) however is another issue altogether: essentially that's a commission when it's being treated like a capital gain.

> I don't see why the tax code should incentivize passive investment over actual work.

Well it doesn't.

It incentivises savings over spending, and working over not-working.

For example of the latter, I receive an income: What should I do with the money I do not spend on rent, food, transport, and education? Should I just work less because I don't need that money?

Why don't I just invest it? If I work more, then I will have more money to invest!

However because of inflation, any money I put into savings evaporates if I have to pay both income tax on the new earnings and have to suffer the loss in buying power due to inflation. The difference must be at least what the actual inflation turns out to be over however many years we want people saving. Darn.

If we work backwards, we can see the reasons: If we give up gold, we can control inflation with maths instead drilling, and with a lower capital gains tax then people can spend and work more.

See, this isn't as simple as you want it to be, but it makes more sense than you might think. Our tax code is based around thousands of little tests and questions like this that, and a big part of why it is so complicated has to do with the sheer amount of time we have spent arguing about how much tax is fair.

> I'd love to see an explanation of why it makes any sense to continue treating capital gains income (i.e. "return on invested capital") any differently than ordinary income

You can use Google to search for exactly that. You will get a lot of results because there are a lot of different reasons.

About 5 years ago we had a new taxi firm open in my home town, the boss(es) invested heavily in technology, you could book via a text, app or call.

They had a ruthless focus on clean cars, uniformed drivers (I was talking to one of the drivers, if they where not clean and presentable he wouldn't put them in service), they'd even jump out and help you load your shopping etc.

You got a text with the drivers number and plate number and could even set it up so someone else got the same details (handy for parents, partners etc).

He absolutely decimated the local badly run taxi firms, the good drivers moved to him and the other firms had to run to catch up or die out.

It was fascinating to watch as an outsider the change across the whole city once word got out.

After failure of my startup's first iteration, investigation and data made it clear my cofounder was at fault:

- deals that made a loss
- poor relationship management
- investing way too much in blaming the team around her

This ended up with a company seriously in the red, heading to liquidation and a completely fucked reputation.

Iteration two: flying solo, small team and 18 months in, we are in profit and I've fixed most of the relationships that needed some help.

I have a department head who I can trust and points out my blindspots but never wanted to be a founder, which is fine.

Be very careful your cofounder isn't just saying the right things in the hope of a payday.
