The whole argument behind Donald Trump's infrastructure pledge is to create the demand for millions more of these jobs. To build or rebuild untold numbers of road, rail, plumbing, sewage, water treatment, electrical, and on and on and on. Trillions of dollars worth of this stuff, creating millions of jobs and modernizing the country's infrastructure!
In a pure libertarian society this might make sense in theory. But when people are injured we all get to pay either through socialised health care or health insurance increasing. This is part of the reason why seat belts are mandatory, your injured sorry ass hurts us all. Thus we should get a say in you not hurting yourself.

> Yeah, those are the laws that shouldn't exist.

I absolutely agree. I'm no fan of Uber or Airbnb but I still side with them on a lot of issues (except Uber or airbnb requiring you to accept any and every customer in the name of anti discrimination).

I reject the idea that traditional taxis are safer than Uber. I reject the idea that Airbnb makes our communities less secure. My understanding of Airbnb is bringing someone to share my house where they have their own room but I'm still in the building. YMMV when it comes to most Airbnb use cases where the host is in a different state and uses Airbnb full time.

The reason I support these companies even though I don't like them is that I feel helpless against the regulatory capture. Taxi service doesn't exist to promote employment of taxi drivers. I think the medallion holders should ask TLC for their money back they paid for their medallions. Screw this whole charade about employment. If the only way to fight against regulatory capture is big companies breaking laws, I fully support big companies breaking those stupid laws. If I were in a jury about any such case, I'd likely vote to acquit.
I'm surprised you dismiss serious skills like "project management" and "coordinating" like if anyone could do it at all, not to speak of doing it at a top 3 tech company (we're talking Google, Facebook, Apple level).

They either come very natural to you, hence why you think they're easy, or you're not good at your job and oblivious about it or you have a very junior position and someone else makes the difficult decissions.

Either way, I would love to be a PM with an interesting product, not to mention being in a top 3 tech company. The money must be really good and the feeling of fully conceiving and creating a product has no equal. Coding it is fine and feels good too, but steering the ship is where it's at.
Sure, kids complicate things. They also have the unique attibute of being non-undoable. And life is surely much simpler without them. But aren't all enriching things in life complicated? Like love, starting a company, friendship, learning.
I have kids, and i dont think of people who decide not to have any as "wrong". This is clearly a personal choice, but i can definitely say they are missing out on a great source of richness, and tons of joy.
Typically the consequences of a Supreme Court ruling is that lower Courts resolve the cases in the direction of the Supreme Court's ruling and if you are foolish enough to appeal up to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court simply declines to hear it.

There is nothing preventing the Supreme Court from deciding to hear an appeal (eg, of a Clerk who doesn't want to issue marriage licenses) and then issuing an sweeping decision completely to the opposite of the new status quo.

That is the risk of relying on the Supreme Court to recognize unenumerated rights; the recognition will only last as long as the Court remains favorable to the right.
Women aren't the demographic with a suicide problem in that age range...

The laws do not directly express the definition "public utility", but the very same restrictions and regulations, and their creators specified that this was the intent.
Multiplies are significantly cheaper than divisions in most recent processors.

First of all latency is the most important parameter: after memory bandwith, the latency of the longest dependency chain is tipically the bottleneck, especially for floating point code.

For example on Skylake float muls have 4 cycle latency (same as adds and MADs) vs over a minimum of 14 cycles for divisions.

But even when only cosidering thoughput, Skylake has two fully pipelined MAD units and can start 2 multiplies every clock cycle, while its single division unit is only partially pipelined and can start a new div only every fourth clock cycle (it is also, IIRC, only 128 bit wide so 256 bits vector divs are more expensive still).

Avoiding divs (and mods) is something that it is still worth optimising for.
There is certainly a limit to the level of detail that can be provided in any explanation. But that can't be an excuse for not responding at all when someone's livelihood is at stake.

There is a more general issue here. As we use more machine learning and AI, the problem of having to explain why a particular decision was taken will come up more often, especially if the decision has grave consequences.

All "AI-first" companies would be well advised to work on this problem. This is like computer security in the 1990s. It's going to be absolutely central to many applications of AI and it will be a key legal issue in future.
Why quit your current gig? Can you find a bootcamp that you can complete over a "vacation"? If not, consider a program that you can acomplish evenings and weekends.

Unless you feel your PM role is a complete dead end, build on your experience instead of trading it away.

Edit, adding: A PM who understands software development, or a developer who understands project management, is a good set of skills to have.

Actually Amazon itself has listing from 3rd party sellers at crazy prices.

I was tempted to buy one, even at ~£70. Then I looked at my desk and saw my Rapsberry Pi with this case http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3D-Printed-NES-inspired-Raspberry-... and a USB NES control replica and decided to forget about the mini NES.
I see a few comments bringing up mobile. There's already many mobile-friendly UI frameworks; not everything has to be mobile-first. Yes, in many cases it makes sense to go for a mobile-first approach, especially with consumer-facing applications. Mobile is huge and apparently it's still continuing to grow.

At the same time, there's many legitimate cases in which you want to optimize for desktop. For example: consider an IDE, where you have lots of panels and toolbars. In some cases it's unclear how you'd be able to support both desktop and mobile without significantly degrading the experience. Even Google struggles with this. How usable is Data Studio [0] on mobile? It's pretty terrible and unusable. But that's perfectly fine, because the desktop experience is great! I can't speak for others, but I can't imagine myself wanting to use a mobile device to get any work done.

Kudos to Palantir for open sourcing their UI toolkit.

Forever? Depends heavily on the plastic. Plastic bags also are lighter and less voluminous, making transport of them to the customer (at first sight) less polluting.

Paper bags also may see fewer reuses than plastic ones.

The question whether paper bags are more environmentally friendly than plastic ones is not an easy one to answer.

Most discussions on this I have read conclude you should bring your own bag, rather than single-use plastic or paper bags.
I think the rants and informal/outsider tone of the article are what I liked about it. It came up while trying to get some background intuition for the Wikipedia article on "spacetime algebra"[0], which follows the Wikipedia math article tradition of assuming the reader already knows 99.9% of the subject.

How do you know that SNES titles sell well on VC? I can't imagine Nintendo are publishing sales data on these things?
Well now billions of people have phones, tablets and laptops combined, so each of them can contribute some negligible use of their CPU while they're plugged in and sleeping, and they'll still add up to a huge difference to various projects.

I think something like this should be built into iOS/Android. You choose a single project to contribute to while your devices are idle, and you get some standardized currency/points based on how much computing you've donated.
You stress the importance of having a Phd - How much of that is because it's really needed and how much of it is a filter / credibility signal?
That may be useful in Show: and to a lesser degree in Ask:, but for "regular" topics it would be useless. Submitters aren't special.
Drivers are defacto employees, integral to the business of Uber, but are treated as independent contractors, which shafts the tax burden to uber drivers.
It's a complicated issue, to be sure. Speaking generally, you might be correct, though I think taxes and regulation should be the last resort. For carbon-free energy production, I think there are many free market possibilities on the horizon: safe nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, fuel cells, battery technology, wind power, solar power, or some combination of them.
Sounds like we are of similar backgrounds. I was a well paid PM, I've worked at a top tech company, and I had strategy consulting experience before that.

I quit my job went into a bootcamp and have been a software developer for a year plus. I've been pretty happy with the decision. My reasons were completely different though and were more about understanding what I was good at and passionate about.

I think I can help. Ask me anything.
I don't know about this. We had disastrous experiences with Ceph and Gluster on bare metal. I think this says more about the immaturity (and difficulty) of distributed file systems than the cloud per se.

Use Lakka, not RetroPie. Use a PS3 controller—360 would work, but its dpad is terrible, and both work with no extra effort. PS3 even works over bluetooth with little to no fiddling. Only trick is you have to find the "right" roms (those blessed by various projects that record hashes of accurate rom dumps) or Lakka/Retroarch's auto-rom-scanning won't work, though you can still select roms manually. Small price to pay for the level of "just works" that Lakka provides.

Dropbox was not working anymore for some BS reason (saying I'm using too much quota when I barely use a couple megabytes per months) and I just stumbled upon this.

Download, run (no install, this is a portable app), a crosshair will appear, select the area you want in your screenshot and as soon as you release your left click you're sent to your screenshot with its unique URL, ready to be shared.

No advertisement, no tracking, nothing but your screenshot.

I'm amazed.

The program was in place before the current administration, and if there was a problem to solve from their perspective, it should have been solved long ago.
But why legislate such an absurd distinction? Why not let consumers choose whether they want fixed fares or taxi-style pricing?

London minicabs are terrible compared to Uber (unreliable, unavailable, no QA), while black cabs are absurdly overpriced. There's an obvious gap in the middle which is caused by protectionist legislation.
There's an EU directive that states that countries must work towards decreasing the use of disposable bags. How they do it is up to them, so you will find various solutions, from outright forbidding them to requiring some payment.

AFAIK, you still can get free plastic bags if they are part of necessary packaging, for example on farmer's markets.

EU Directive: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELE... says:

"Member States may choose to exempt plastic carrier bags with a wall thickness below 15 microns (‘very lightweight plastic carrier bags’) provided as primary packaging for loose food when required for hygiene purposes or when their use helps prevent food wastage."

NOT crazy at all. Actually this is a very good idea. Being able to code makes you a much better PM and help you gain respect of engineers. It will also will help you become a better tech entrepreneur or exec if you ever choose to be.

Having some kind of hard technical skill very important. It help you tackle harder problems that arises in the future. For example let say AI becomes increasingly important. Since you know some code, you ability to lead in this a new technical field will be better than someone with no technical ability.

FYI i'm a coder and founder of a software company. Most of my time is spend on PM now.

If you "feel bad for him", you are not looking down on him.

If you "feel bad for poor him", you are referring to him in a way that implies his position is lesser.

"Poor $noun" is nearly always derogatory towards $noun. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a neutral or positive use for "poor $noun".

Verbal communication is imprecise enough that people will overlook "poor $noun". In text, you have the opportunity to proofread and revise your statements, so "poor $noun" drastically changes the meaning of the phrase.
It's certainly a meal of a documentary, as Adam Curtis's docs often are. The bits that stood out to me the most was the discussion around the internet and echo chambers it has produced.

>Trump has said he will ban all Muslims entering the USA. That is discrimination on the grounds of religion.

Not really. It's only discrimination if Trump applies it to every Muslims. But Trump doesn't apply it to every Muslims.

Trump said he will temporary ban immigrants (they don't even have to be Muslim) from countries with direct ties to terrorism, until they can be properly vet. This is not discrimination against Muslims because Trump has no problem with Muslims who are U.S. citizens and Trump has no problem with Muslims who are from countries that are fighting against ISIS.

>He has repeatedly made disrespectful comments about women based on their appearance. That is sexism.

If you're talking about Miss Universe... It was not sexism.

Trump was preemptively defending Miss Universe from the incoming media. The media was going to have a field day with her when she shows up at the Miss Universe 60 pounds overweight. She didn't understand that the media was about to hang her out to dry. Trump knew what was going to happen, so he invited the media over, and called the reporters fat, and Trump even called himself fat, and tells everyone that being fat is normal, so that the reporters can not call her fat (because they will look like hypocrites).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpXsAoXZIMg

CNN then proceeded to call her fat anyway.

>...questioned their ability to do their job based on whether they're on their Period.

This have no factual evidence. Not only that, he had done many things to help empowered women. For example, he was the first to let a woman be in charge of building a skyscraper building. That was unheard of during the 80's.

He also admit that a female worker with skills and abilities is worth more than 10 male workers.

>Women have corroborated his own claims and have stated that it was unwelcome.

No evidence. Trump either had never even met those people before, or they just want their 15 minute of fame, or were being paid by his opponents. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f8d_1478953280

>The idea that non-protest counts as consent is massively dangerous especially if one party has all the power and if the contact in question has already happened and finished.

Trump said they let him grab their pussy. Emphasis on the THEY LET part. That's consent.

All these are just election smears. The typical election smears that you see every election years, as rivals tries to make their opponents look as bad as possible.

None of these are even important, as the election result have shown. Voters are not stupid. They care more about jobs, security, and health issues than these smears.

Hillary was so focus on the smearing Trump that she forgot about what the voters actually cares about. And that's why she lost.

Why? Buzzfeed actually has some well written pieces. They pay the bills with the listicles, but they use that money to fund journalism. Andrew Kaczynski was great this whole election, and was at Buzzfeed until CNN recruited him in October.
I've found if I reply too quickly it often ends up creating more messages than if I just sit on things for a while. People often seem to resolve their own problems if you give them some time.

If they have a problem with that then that really is their problem, not mine.
It sounds like they didn't design for the cloud and are now experiencing the consequences. The cloud has different tradeoffs and performance characteristics from a datacenter. If you plan for that, it's great. Your software will be antifragile as a result. If you assume the characteristics of a datacenter, you're likely to run into problems.
Ah, yes, those evil liberals and their centralising ways. Never mind that conservatives have, in actuality, done more centralising than liberals have.

Also, can you give some examples of "deciding how everyone lives"? What have liberals actually put in place in the US that curtail what people can do, that isn't in the name of freeing up part of the population (such as anti-discrimination law). What are some actual examples of federal liberal enforced monoculture in the US?
