OP here. I think about this every day.

Ultimately, it comes down to how you construct the root origin of the problem facing government right now. For me personally (hence why this post is on Medium and not on a *.gov) is the lack of both faith and trust (two very different things) in public structures of all kinds, not just the federal government.

We've lost that faith and trust for very good reasons, to be sure. We may forgive, but not forget those indiscretions to put it mildly, and they go back to the founding of the republic.

The problem as I see it though is that faith and trust have fallen into such disrepair, it's become a self-replicating negative cycle. So few people believe govt can do anything well (in terms inclusive of ethics/effectiveness/efficiency) which leads to apathy, which leads to skilled people leaving govt or not joining, which leads to further degradation, which leads to a further undermining both in perception and in actual funding or authorities from Congress, and on and on it goes.

That cycle is not just observed at the federal level of course. Even more pernicious to me is the apathy it creates at the state/city (or even community) level, even if one person or one small group's potential for positive impact is exceedingly more likely at the level!

I certainly still have my ethical red lines, and I recite them to myself on a near daily basis so I don't normalize the "might" of the feds with "right". But I still see the one of the core origins that got us to this point being the cycle above, so trying to break the cycle is still my #1 priority for now.
Also, take a look at optional libraries such as redux (and its friends, e.g. redux-saga or redux-thunk). You don't have to use them, but when your codebase starts getting complicated with lots of callback, perhaps using those state management libraries would help.

Sometimes people find such intrusive/blocking productivity tools a bit invasive. I find them alright. I personally use Rest.app for OS X which blocks my screen every 30 minutes for me to take a rest and exercise.

I would use this Chrome extension if it had a Wunderlist (I guess the most popular todo app?) integration.

> Most Americans (and apparently Canadians) think their home is a very good place to park their entire net worth. Meaning they think its guaranteed to appreciate and appreciate faster than all other assets a person has.

Most Americans have no choice, because you can't buy 1/3rd of a house or a room in a house, or a basement. You have to buy the whole house and very rarely will a family be able to outright get themselves into 2 mortgages on houses in a desirable area. In other words, you're painting a picture of choice where there is none. Renting has the same underlying problem - you alleviate yourself of depreciation risk, but you take on the risk of being at the mercy of the landlord and area gentrification and being priced out of it eventually.

> The American government also subsidizes home ownership in various ways which can play into the fantasy.

Not in as many ways as you think. It's rather the higher density urban areas that subsidize the suburban low density single family houses (most of which are very shoddily constructed).

> Its just not a great financial investment and every portfolio should be diversified even if it were.

Like I said earlier, most Americans don't have a portfolio of investments of any sort. Housing is a relatively stable asset for the risk-averse, and incidentally also provides you with a place to live.

> The reality is house prices stay about lock step with inflation on average over the long haul.

The reality is that discussing real estate prices without discussing location and separating structure value from land value is a gross and useless oversimplification. Look at property values in desirable urban areas: they far outpaced inflation and have recovered after the housing crash in less than 5 years.

Not homicide, manslaughter by definition.

There are two questions:
1) How much value was provided to society by prosecuting this man so aggressively? (a lesser sentence that allowed him to continue to work and care for his family would have seemed more beneficial for society)

2) Under the circumstances regarding law enforcement availability and his historic transgressions what was a lawful and economically feasible means for this man to protect his family? These men were intimating that they would rape his wife without going so far as to threaten it. When police respond to reports of a man with a gun by saying "call back once someone is shot then we can send someone," what are the options available to this man?
That's two opposite incentives.

Laws of supply and demand apply.

If the person is in demand, and the supply of identical applicants is low (or, zero, if they really want this one person), then the applicant can command way more than most people expect.

If you are a college student applying for an intership, I would tend to believe the opposite applies. Supply is massive. I think asking for any compensation for time will be met with a quick end to the process.
Using a layman's definition, yes. However, strictly speaking, the average person's home is not an investment.

It’s less about unions and more about classifications of employees. Most federal employees are either “career” or “political” positions. Political positions are typically replaced by each new administration, while career employees stay, regardless of union status.

Technology is fair and there is a reason why haskell is not used apart from niche or academic projects. If you want to use jvm to deliver functionality for your users just a "boring" technology. No user, never, cared about the programming paradigm.
I don't understand even the first paragraph in your argument. Are you saying you can't pick some rats which are faster than some other rats?

Yes, it's relative - everything is relative - but what does that have to do with shallow?

If you are looking for rats to win a race, clearly some rats will be much better to use than others.

What you just wrote feels like a rant without a coherent basis.
I am not familiar enough with the circumstances to say but I'd suspect it was an issue of jurisdiction. Whatever police forces covered that area didn't have the funding to address "nuisance" complaints. The police were well aware of the situation and apologetic for their inability to help, the men involved in the harassment were all repeat convicts (one was a pedophile).

If the supply is so massive why are all these companies paying so much for tech interns?
They're also bidding 10-20% cash over the asking prices of homes, because they still save money on paying 45% income tax.

This is affecting the entire market because housing is a fixed supply. Buyers who are getting outbid on one price point move to outbid people at a lower price point, and so on.

Look, I'm sure the macOS implementation of ACPI is great.

I said "I GUESS ACPI is a mess", because most implementations I've used (and I've only used it; I know nothing low-level about it at all) have had some problem or another.

How wrong of me not to have any experience with your preferred platform, and leave it out of the discussion.
Supply of potential candidates is high, supply of highly qualified candidates is low.
There is a leaky pipeline problem for women in science. Math stands out especially when it comes to comparable gender representation, with lower rates of women at the undergraduate, graduate, post-doc, and faculty levels compared to other STEM fields. Journal editors are basically the pinnacle of the pipeline - but we've never had that data before. We made this dataviz to show what we found.

$8k was spent entirely for MTurkers to scrape, sort, and infer gender, geographic location, and title for over 13,000 editors and 435 math journals. The result is that only 8% of math journal editors are women, and this dataviz is every one of them. Using their protocol, this could be very easily replicated for other fields of study. This result was also recently published in PLoS.

Fun facts:

- Only 8% of editors are women

- 51/435 math journals have ZERO women editors

- Japan and Russia have significantly fewer women math journal editors

- Impact factor is positively correlated with higher representation of women in editor positions

No, they sell computers, tablets, phones, and digital watches - all tech products. The reason why a "designer" (and I have no idea why you're putting that in quotes) is #2 at the company is because his hands literally touch every product line that they sell. And your dismissal of them as a "luxury brand" (again, no idea why you have quotes) is as ignorant as dismissing Lexus as not being a car company. A "luxury brand" just means that you're not paying for the basic use of the product but for some luxury provided by the product. With Apple you're paying for the luxury of seamlessness and reliability of their technology products. I'm not even going to get into how "consumer products" means nothing except to differentiate who they sell their products to. By that metric, General Mills, Dell, and Ford are all in the "consumer products" segment.

Humans have a tendency for unwavering "belief". The obvious is belief in deities.

Our other institutions are just as vulnerable to being treated as infallible. Our economics are, and basically "putting all our eggs" into a global financial system over which we have little say, is this thing we have to keep believing in. "The debt, the debt!" not considering that if humans in the future really need to for survival, an imaginary number on paper can be waved away. We have to believe these things matter.

And it isn't just laymen that are victim to unwavering belief. Very smart people can also be convinced of bullshit.

And the rest of us just have to nod and smile in agreement. What other choice is there?

I think we're in a period of social adjustment from the previous 100 years into the next. The last one was the great depression, leading into ww1 and ww2, after an era of extreme growth in wealth inequality (guilded age).

Our population grew, but not enough were brought along. A number of us have backslid (my personal buying power has decreased despite raises, anyone in the $100,000/yr realm has power than equivalent pay in the previous generation). Like religions not accounting for non-believers, the system thinks its these folks fault, not its own.

Maybe it's time we start considering resets in our social structures every few years. Jefferson argued for one in the Constitution.

And maybe it's time we heed Adam Smith's advice and fight for equality of outcomes, not just opportunity (a notion we believe exists, but the reality that we are a society where everyone has equal opportunity is laughable). Cause it seems to me, it would do a lot to avoid these lopsided social structures if we're all kept on the same page materially.

> Fortunately, 18F isn't funded by Congress.

Even if 18F is paid out if other agencies budgets, Congress could as easily prohibit those agencies (or GSA itself) from spending any money on 18F. Heck, Congress could directly restructure, break up, or abolish the GSA.

Or, they could exercise the recently-revived Holman Rule and simply cut the pay of every individual (or select individuals) working in 18F to $1/annum.
If you work for the Federal government other than in an office with special Constitutional protection, no matter what the notional funding structure of your particular unit, your job, pay, and benefits are not protected against Congressional action, and you should not be misled to think that they are.

This feels like an important step in the democratization of AI.

> Fox News' "Fair and Balanced" slogan needs to taken as religious dogma...

I think I agree with most of what you're trying to get across in your post here, but the reference to Fox News is throwing me off. Followed to the letter, being 'fair and balanced' is certainly something that should be aspired to, but Fox's use of it as a slogan has always been a complete joke. Fox's interpretation of 'fair and balanced' is hardly any better than than the 'fake news' alternative.

Why do you think they do as it stands? Unless of course you use the media player from their store. iTunes has a nearly identical setup.

In general they're only collecting the outer edge of application usage. I hope people realize Apple effectively has the exact same data via their bundled store solution? The idea that MS is unique or even first here is wrong.
The benchmarks I've run are extremely promising, and Eta is sometimes competitive to GHC after warmup. GHC's aggressive optimisations with -O2 + Oracle JVM's JIT seem to be a very powerful combination. I have avoided publishing the results because I still need to spend more time looking at the numbers and understand why was so fast in certain cases (check up on any mistakes I've made). I'd rather take the time to report proper benchmarks rather than hype unverified results.

What would you say if someone told you that about the software you built.

You quote 6 months and 50k for a project. A non-developer told you that was too long and too expensive. It should cost 25k and take 3 months.

Is that acceptable?
Realistically, insecure defaults are part of the reason Mongo was adopted in the first place. Other databases are a hellscape of configuration, meanwhile Mongo is starting to get work done from the moment it's installed.

Security and usability are always at odds. If you make security a pain, people will give up on security. Mongo is the ultimate manifestation of that principle. Developers were driven to Mongo by opaque and painful admin tasks.

You weren't aware of the risks. There's much worse than that.

I am not a lawyer, and the following is not legal advice: get your own (experienced) immigration lawyer, and ask them about what I've heard one lawyer call "cost-effective employee retention plans". It can include threatening to unfairly ruin an employee's chances of ever getting another US visa if they leave the company. As in, you may never set foot in the US again. I'm not sure people can relate to how horrible this is unless you've unfortunately lived through it.

It doesn't have to be deliberate but it can be completely unintentional. Let's take a look at the latest rumor mongering about Trump -- many news orgs have happily reported that intelligence agencies have evidence of Watergate-level wrongdoing and they've thrown in sexual deviancy for good measure, but all of it is unsubstantiated.

I'd expect reputable news orgs to not touch the issue until we see public statements by public officials but they're talking it up like no tomorrow. This is fake news and it qualifies just as well as shoddy journalism.

So imagine I'd like to start doing cool stuff like this by myself. Where do I start?
I think this is because of the reasons mentioned in the article. From my experience, most software gets written by people who are not completely new to programming, but are not what I'd call senior either. Let's say it's their second or third bigger project. They are still very enthusiastic, they are able to write a ton of code, they are exploring new design patterns every day, etc. They also do not cost much more than complete beginners to hire. So they end up writing most software and that's why you see a lot of over engineered solutions.
