I live in San Francisco (Richmond District) and I have a kid. The city is _great_ for kids because there are so many kid-friendly facilities and programs. And the city has been relentlessly dumping tons of money into those facilities and programs. It might be one of the best places in the country to raise a kid, all things considered. (Which is to say that although my kid won't be able to wonder miles away from home at the age of 6, playing in the woods from dawn to dusk like I did, there are plenty of other advantages that more than make up for it.)

Setting the aside the cost factor (which is huge, obviously, especially before they're old enough for the free daycare a la elementary school), the biggest issue is expectations. Most Americans' expectations of family life is based on a suburban ideal, whether we realize it or not. It's literally baked into our cultural DNA at this point. But those expectations won't work here, obviously. And so it's a doubly-whammy of cost and expectations.

My neighborhood is heavily immigrant--Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese, and Irish--and most of the kids (there are alot!) are of those ethnicities, out of proportion to their share of the neighborhood population. It's not a coincidence[1]. For one thing, it's slightly cheaper for them because they can rent below market price through their network of families, friends, and co-workers. Secondly, their cultural expectations are different. Rather, in many cases their desires are better met by striving to stick in the neighborhood. At my local playground (3 blocks away, like most things--groceries, restaurants, schools, libraries, parks, etc) there are inevitably a few kids speaking Russian. Other than moving all the way to Sacramento, where could an immigrant or first generation Russian family move where they could still regularly speak Russian--at the playground, at church, at a restaurant, at school? The Chinese and Vietnamese have many more options in that respect.

Alot of young people move to the city and think they've shed their suburban outlook. But when the kids come they return to what they know. Because raising kids is difficult and scary, and people don't understand how heavily they'll lean on the crutches of their ingrained cultural expectations and habits. Also, because it's damned expensive.

[1] I mean, it's definitely not a coincidence which countries they're coming from. The Russian and Irish communities, for example, have been here for over a hundred years, and for various reasons I don't completely understand still sustain a steady stream of new immigrants. An Irish family (2 kids) just moved into a house on our block. And, FWIW, I'm pretty sure the husband works in the construction/contractor industry. It's certainly not all techies here; certainly not in my neighborhood, even though the median home price hovers around $1m, a tad less than the median for the city overall.

I don't think it will "come as a surprise" to any major public pharma company. They are all in the business of managing risk:
* that a drug test will fail trials
* that they will be beat to market by a competing drug
* that a contamination in their products will cause damage to patients
* that R&D costs will not be recovered before the patent expires
* keeping R&D costs low enough to be competitive, but high enough to have a pipeline of future products

IIRC, general antibiotics have never lasted more than 18 months before we found a bacteria that became resistant to them. Pharma companies know this more than the rest of us.

They are betting/hedging on getting to market first with a multi-drug resistant (MDR) bug killer. Everyone on Earth will need a new antibiotic as the current MDR bugs become more widespread. And the more widespread the current MDR bugs are, the more valuable a fresh antibiotic would be (it would be an effective monopoly).
doctors only contribute slightly to the status quo. The food industry more generally is to blame.

Worth remembering whenever you see people comparing different healthcare systems based on longevity. Doctors are not always the primary factor in lifespans.
The EFF was actually invited to negotiate the treaty too, but they refused, opting to instead throw stones from the dark.
> Encrypt them with spacefiller data and start crossing borders, and then refuse to provide passwords and abandon them for sheer amusement.

You don't get that option. The first thing that happens to everybody who is attempting to enter the US and flagged is that they give you a form to write down all keys and passwords you might have, they will then unlock your phone and attempt to find anything that might be used to bar you from entering.

A common method of confirming a profiled person seems to be using the "I have not done illegal drugs" checkbox on the entry documentation, they will find any drug reference on your devices using the passwords they just discovered. If you answer "yes", you're a criminal and you are barred from entry. If you answer "no" and they find any reference to any recreational drug, no matter the context, you just lied to a federal officer and you are barred from entry.

One rejection is enough to ban you for life from ESTA, so for most people entering the US who don't have a temporary working visa, being profiled is the last time you'll ever be able to enter the united states.

This has the same weakness as investing all money in a single stock. Great when it's doing well, disaster when it's not. Diversity is key for stability and sustainable growth. What will happen to SF when the tech bubble pops?
Nonsense at n=1, but it starts to make sense at scale. And I don't like perverse incentives, but I'd die before I seriously considered homeopathy.
You mean what if tech is forever? It's not forever. We thought it would be forever in '99 and it collapsed. The truth is, we don't know what the future will be like, but we can be almost certain that it will include children because there will always be some people who want children. So dismantling the support system for them (or letting it die slowly) is just asking for trouble, and is short sighted. Besides, you're underestimating the value of the children's economy. From birth to move out (let's say 18), many industries serve children, including quite a few that are startups.
Ugh. So sad. Essentially disincentivizing higher performing kids from getting ahead. Hope I never have to deal with that in our school district.
What's the story here?
This is not normal. Trump is not normal. Do not act like this is just any old election. Millions of people in the USA and around the world do not normally march in protest of our elections.

Oh yeah, and trump is a liar. That's very well documented - and just a google search away. But I'm not really concerned with if he's a liar or not. I just care about what he ends up doing. I do not suspect I will like it very much - but I would LOVE to be wrong.
Trump is a TV executive. He literally owns pieces of TV shows. One of his cabinet finances (bad) movies. Any copyright changes they make will be so MPAA-friendly that we will all be wishing for the TPP. Youtube's legal team is probably sweating bullets atm over potential changes to fair use rules.
Here you go:

1. Geopolitical influence. The Western world, lead by the USA, wants to dictate terms of trade in the Pacific before China can. This means laying the groundwork for the environments that western businesses and investors are comfortable with. US investors would be less likely to invest in Malaysia if Malaysia was instead following China's lead on IP protections.

2. Stabilizing of third world countries. By providing the frameworks mentioned above, third world countries take a few steps towards providing open and inclusive economies, and the benefits of the trade deal ensure that their leaders are less likely to take steps that would sow uncertainty in their own economies. Also countries with trade agreements are far less likely to go to war with each other. This was one of the main benefits of NAFTA with Mexico too.

3. Straight growth benefits. Every country is predicted to get some additional GDP growth, though large and already liberalised countries like the US won't see too much. On the other hand, poorer countries like Vietnam are predicted to get a staggering 11% extra GDP growth. That's amazing, and will lead to vastly reduced poverty in SE Asia.

4. It includes a glorious fuck you to tobacco companies. Seriously, it blocks them from using ISDS at all, and it sent so many lobbyists into a fit when it was released.

Exactly. Meanwhile, the people opposed to it communicated at length, in detail, with supporting evidence and quotes.
I'm very confused. When the TPP first leaked as a series of secret talks, everyone on HN was seemingly up in arms about the trade deal. Then it went through, and HN shifted to being very pro TPP. Now it's withdrawn, and now the HN mentality is back to voting for comments that are against the TPP. What is the prevailing opinion here?

This is kind of how I felt when I tried TrueOS. I had heard about all the interesting things they had been doing, like integrating boot environments into their update process - but when I actually went and tried it, it was as though it was an unfinished product. It had multiple things that felt incomplete or didn't work, like the app cafe not working, saying it was installing something but then doing nothing. Maybe this was because they were making the transition from openrc since it was right after their TrueOS name switch from PCBSD, and I think that was when they made the init change.

It kind of felt like they are building a product for no one in my opinion. It is almost as if they are using it as a breeding grounds for new technology in FreeBSD instead of building a stable operating system. If they're trying to use FreeBSD to make something for the average user, do they really care about all these features? I kind of feel like they have been trying to integrate too many new things all at once and it is left things very fragile. I think they should focus on stability instead of trying to integrate so many new things at once. Hopefully this is all just due to them switching to a rolling release model and things will stabilize. I ended up switching to vanilla FreeBSD, maybe I'll give TrueOS another shot once things have settled down.
I've read about this theory as well. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were something like the 29th and 30th Japanese cities that had been completely leveled by bombings. Thus, the Japanese were not necessarily moved by more of what had been constantly occurring for quite some time.

Japanese leadership assumed they could negotiate with the Russians, and therefore still had an out. When this avenue was closed, the Japanese were forced to face the fact that they had lost.

It's somewhat ironic that the Russian army put forth the vast majority of effort and lives that defeated the Germans, yet it was America that reached Berlin first, resulting in Nazi surrender. This was reciprocated in the Pacific theater by the Americans expending the lions share of the effort and lives, yet it was the Russians that forced Japanese surrender.

Although, this is all theory by historians. It still stands to reason that in the moment, the Americans speculated that the use of nuclear weapons would end the war. After all, Truman issued an ultimatim that essentially spelled out what would and did happen if the Japanese did not surrender.
Well it's true isn't it?

The fear of those polled was that Bin Laden's Al Qaeda would seek vengeance for an attack on Iraq. That's because the Bush administration successfully promoted the lie that Saddam was buddies with Bin Laden despite the fact that the latter publicly denounced the former for running a secular state and actively suppressing Islamist ambitions.

Well, sort of. It would depend how the government negotiates the payments given to the companies that provide medical services. If they stick with the standard fee-for-service model we mostly use now, there wouldn't be much difference.
Exactly.

For language devs. It's always good to learn from mistakes from the past. PHP 6 failed, then PHP stayed with 5.x and moved directly from v5 to v7 - that worked out fine.

The Python 2 to 3 is an important lesson as well. Ruby (afaik 1 to 2), dotNet 1 to 2 and 4 to dotNetCore 1, Swift 1 to 2 to 3, ... are several more cases that were rocky for developers.
0. What if the nation discriminates against that company, freezing funds or denying access to courts? This shit is important for increasing investor confidence in countries with nascent court systems and political systems used to corruption and nepotism.

2. Agreed, but redistribution and retraining are domestic issues such as NAFTA-TAA.
The problem is some people are so out of touch with a reality that includes children that they become too easily bothered.

A child throwing a tantrum is bothering. A child just saying something out loud or running around a bit is just being a child.

It is important, from a high level, that innovation occur in limited scale. That prevents bad things from cascading everything.
A lot of valid points, but then there is this sentence:

Given you are posting on hacker news there is a high chance you are in the tech industry. What you are describing is far easier for tech employees than it is for employees in most other fields.

I am in the tech industry but have several friends in various non-tech fields and sometimes the stuff they put up with at their jobs amazes me. But when I ask why they don't just leave the answer is that they don't want to start a potentially lengthy job search right then or that they aren't sure they can find a significantly better one.

> Backporting features will be hard

It's actually pretty straightforward: I just find the relevant changes in the Python 3 history, and apply them to Python 2. Usually a handful of things have changed between 2 and 3, so I typically can't just pipe the diff to "git apply -3", but frankly backporting features is more tedious than difficult. If you're interested, for example, here's my recent implementation of the "nonlocal" keyword; you can see the commit messages reference the Python 3 commits: https://github.com/naftaliharris/placeholder/pull/60

> Why try to create an inferior python 3?

The ultimate goal is to build an interpreter that can run both Python 2 and 3 code. Unfortunately, there is some code that runs and has different behavior under Python 2 and Python 3 (e.g., 'print("a", "b")' ), so anyone who wants to write an interpreter that can run both kinds of code will need to decide what to do there. I decided to defer to Python 2 behavior in those cases, since most of my code is in Python 2 and I don't want to change it. :-)

It always amazes me when I hear about people asking this question. Don't these hiring managers consider for a second how intrusive and rude it is? Aren't they concerned they may come across as douchebags for asking it? And yet I've been asked this several times by people that act like it's no big deal, like asking how was the traffic on the way in. Are they under pressure from the top? Or are hiring managers in general lacking in scruples?

There are two small things you can do:

1. Always finish your course of antibiotics. Even if you're feeling better. The course is as long as it is for a reason.
2. If for some reason you choose not to do (1) above, do not ever give someone what is left over from your course.
At first glance this seems like a horribly flawed study. It seems misleading to call this a placebo effect when it is clearly the result of selection bias.

The paper makes it clear that this is intentional, but I'm not sure they've really shown anything novel here, just demonstrated what should already be well known. I.e., badly designed studies may contain bias.
The number of rotors was limited by the keyboard effort. All those spring-loaded contacts between the rotors make advancing the rotors hard. Enigmas have a huge key travel, almost an inch, to provide extra leverage. You can't actually "type" on one; you push the keys down firmly, one at a time. Somebody has to write down which lamp came on, anyway, so that's not the limit on speed.

The keyboard-driven rotor machines didn't scale up well. Beyond three rotors, motor drive was usually needed, although the cute little M-209 used a wheel and lever for input, rather than a keyboard. The next step up was the Lorenz SZ-40/42, a six-rotor machine set up as a peripheral for a Teletype. That was cracked with the Colossus electronic key-tester.

The Germans built the T-52 Geheimschreiber, with 10 rotors, but that had a built-in Teletype machine and was too heavy to be portable. The Allies didn't crack that one.

That was the original limit on key length. The longer the key, the bigger and heavier the machine.

Back when python 3 was introduced and after learning of breaking backward compatibility my first thought was, "good luck with that"...

Wanting to create something better is not surprising. What was surprising (to me at least) is not seeing that people don't like change unless they see a really dramatic benefit to what they already have, and clearly see that the advantages to making that change far outweigh the discomfort of the process.

Most people have a really hard time changing from something they know, even if it's less than perfect. Actually, even if it sucks. Ask any marketer, salesman, social worker or psychologist and you will see this is not limited to programming languages, and beyond the psychology, change has an economic price that needs to be justified.

So, years later, the only thing I'm surprised at is that Python 3 actually caught on to the extent it did. I don't know whether to attribute this more to the quality of the language or the energy that went into promoting migration to it, but its current adoption rate to me is a mark of success when one tries to compare it with other attempts to reeducate a well established market.
Haha, I'm from Central Europe and I competed in Maths Olympics since I was like 10. (Its a competition mostly in central/eastern europe).

At our local elementary, Lafayette, over 70% of kids are neighborhood kids, despite it being one of the better schools in the city (there's a wait list).

I'm not looking forward to the stress of the lottery system. But the nearest private school to us is St. Thomas Apostle, with a yearly tuition of only $8k ($6k for parishioners). Catholic schools are crazy cheap in the city.[1]

[1] To people without kids: that may look expensive, but hour-for-hour it's a heck of alot cheaper than daycare. Daycare in SF and most major cities is roughly $100/day, and it ain't that much cheaper anywhere else except with less formal arrangements.
This is the kind of article that I enjoy reading a lot. Most tools available today mask away fundamental concepts, and many aspiring young engineers learn to use "tools". While the ability to use various tools is of paramount importance, the most valuable skills an engineer can possible possess, in my opinion, is the ability to create new tools/concepts/whatever from 1st-ish principle
Try Google search for "TPP impact study". There are quite a few reputable studies done. According to [0], the impact to the US would be small and positive when compared to baseline no-TPP scenario (e.g. 0.07% employment gain, 0.23% real income gain, 0.15% higher GDP, etc).
