I understand your situation but I also reject the premise. Small businesses are supposed to be at the forefront of things like this. There's a reason why outlets like the New York Times have been writing easily-accessible articles on this topic since AT&T screwed us all in 2011.

I get that you're dealing with financial things and financial outlets are inherently risk-averse but if my credit union can manage to not get sued into oblivion while lacking a mandatory, binding arbitration clause, you could, too. SoFi pulled off having an opt-out clause in their agreement; that's the least I expect these days.

This is one reason why I've started doing business more and more with European-based companies. Their local laws don't permit such customer-unfriendliness.

(Edited to add: if I'm trusting you with read/write credentials--since no other kind exist--to my financial accounts, yes, I expect to retain the right to sue if you screw up gloriously. That your lawyers pushed for you to make your users sign away that right is telling.

I'm genuinely sorry if I'm coming across as hostile; this isn't personal at you, specifically. I'm just sick and tired of being told "you get to tell us everything about you in order to use our shiny new service and if we drop the ball or miss a semi-colon and every penny you own is funneled to Moon Base Alpha Seven, well, sorry, hope the arbitrator chosen by us, paid by us, and with a financial incentive to be used by us in the future is willing to award you a few ducats for your trouble." I keep hoping for better from HN-funded startups and so rarely get it.)
Thanks for the thoughtful response! I definitely agree that trams offer a better rider experience.

However, I'd argue that these benefits are outweighed by their prohibitive cost. According to the American Public Transportation Association it's roughly $30-$70m per mile, as opposed to $3-$30m per mile for busses. For example, with the $133m spent on Cincinnati's 3.6 mile tram line, you could have purchased about 300 electric busses.

Additionally, trams in the U.S. usually end up running in lanes that are also occupied by traffic, which means that they have to start/stop much more frequently and can't achieve the speed/efficiency that many european trams can.

Here is the gray area, for a gander:
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/feb/03/...

This article is Pro-vaccine and agrees with the reported death count in 2014, for example at 122. In the case of vaccines I live completely in the gray areas. For example, there are something like 80 vaccines automatically given to children. Why don't we limit that to the vaccines that are absolutely necessary?

Also pet vaccines, totally important to not over-vaccinate. Many of them include adjuvants that have a high correlation to sarcomas that appear in the injection site, cause cancer and kills the pet. My wife worked in vet hospitals and there was a much much lower rate of pet killings in the clinics that use adjuvant free vaccines.

I wonder how accidental that feature is. It's certainly not something that Firefox can advertise, since other apps which did that have been kicked out off the Play Store.

Also, I also found that feature to be not very reliable since Android 6, which quite aggressively puts background apps to sleep (at least on my phone with "only" 2GB of RAM). I find that any extensive use outside Firefox will make the background playing stop rather quickly.
Collecting money via tolls has a higher administrative cost compared to collecting money via the gas tax [1]. The infrastucture to collect the gas tax is already in place. In contrast, there are a lot of things that need to be done before tolls can be put in place (legal, contracting, setting up collection points, etc). Plus, the public-private partnerships that some governments get into for these types of toll roads don't always work out [2] [3] [4]

It would make a lot more sense to just raise the gas tax to achieve the same effect.

I'm not sure why those areas can be selectively dismissed. That the UC system overextends itself in a variety of non-instructional areas isn't a compelling case for its fiscal health and management acumen.

If I ran a training business with a negative P&L and couldn't fully fund my employee's pensions, I would hardly be able to say, "your calculations are oversimplified. Our losses include our museum and lacrosse team."
When I lived in Canberra a year ago I noticed some backed up traffic in peak time near EPIC - however I realised there was only one car lane in each direction, and one bus lane in each direction.

I don't agree that we should always build more roads if there is traffic, but building a light rail solution when the bottleneck is one congested car lane each way seems a bit unusual.

TL;DR - I'm successful in my dev job and family life because I have learned to write everything down, set parameters for the things I do, and have surrounded myself with positive people who care about me and my family. This combination of factors results in spare-time to learn new skills, exercise old ones, and my company allows me to experiment.

-- The Whole Story --

First, a little about my current, professional role; I'm one of 3 backend/web developers and the primary dev for our flagship i/e enterprise offering. I don't deal with architecture or design unless I request to do so. I am responsible for writing the majority of our tests, choosing and implementing the tools we test with, and participate fully in code-review, QA, and bug reporting/fixing. Like many devs, I attend weekly meet-ups, code side-projects, and do my best to stay abreast of developments in, well, development.

Personally, I have 2 children, 1 of pre-school age and the other in an early elementary school grade. I'm able to -

* help my oldest daughter with homework
* attend school functions
* pick them up from daycare often
* do activities, like dress-up, painting, and building forts
* each night: give them baths, read them bedtime stories, and sing them lullabies

Our sitter, a family friend, recently asked me "how do you do it?" and followed up with "I'd be exhausted!" Her question caught me off guard. I don't necessarily think I'm doing anything special. In fact, I often find myself worried that I'm not doing well enough. Luckily, there are people like her in my life who remind me that I, and my wife, do a pretty damn good job.

-- How is this possible? --

Well, for one, it's because of people like her; the people in my family's lives who care about us. Another contributing factor is the company I work for, an organization that actually cares about me. Our team is willing to pick up the slack when a member needs help. Being based in Chattanooga makes a difference, too, and although commute times can reach ~45 mins, it's a fairly low ceiling, especially when compared to SV commute times. Lastly, if you work on a team, and that team doesn't give you the opportunity to grow your own skill-set within your professional-role, then that team is failing you. There's a reason that professional athletes are given access to training facilities and musicians are allotted time for rehearsal; you need to exercise your dev muscles. If it weren't for my team sometimes giving me the opportunity to explore rabbit holes, and knowing when to pull me out, I wouldn't be half the dev I am today.

PS - yes, when you first become a parent, your education/productivity/effectiveness takes a hit; that's just how it is. Otherwise, you'd be leaving your significant other/partner to do it all, and I've seen how that can affect a relationship. It's important to acknowledge this drop-off, plan for it, and make up at least a portion of that lost ground over time.

Good luck!
> there are already good plant based simulacra

I'd have to disagree on that. I've had most fake meats on the market. The closest that comes to real meat is Quorn, and that's only for poultry and such. There's just something off about most meat substitutes.

It's that they see anyone telling them what to do, regardless of the reasons or outcomes, as taking away their freedom. In a way they're certainly right, the more regulation the less freedom you have, however why they take it to the degree of being callous and fatalistic when it will affect them negatively is a mystery. Of course, other than the military, that there can never be enough of.

That tends to be what someone who has a world view of "what's in it for me", vs. "what's best for everyone". The stronger the sense of "me", the stronger the sense of having to protect yourself, whereas the opposite view tends not to bring about that neurosiss.

And then 50 to 100 years after that people will look back on with bewilderment. "You mean you planted whole seeds, let them grow for months, watered them all the while, just to kill them, chop up their leaf, and ship that to people?"

Obviously no guarantee, but it's their stated ambition and they've been on the streets for years. It's such a monumental change it will be hard for people to comprehend until it's actually functioning live in the world.

> we could just, you know, eat the plants but we don't want to.

You're really arguing something separate here. We can't eat a lot of plants that animals can. 36% of corn goes to feed animals for meat, but what percentage of corn is inedible for humans? (husks, leaves, cobs)

There's a reason we don't domesticate carnivores - we're not creating any more food sources. We don't compete with things that digest cellulose.

I had the same outlook as far as taste goes. I really think it is just our palette being trained to love this type of food. After switching to a vegan diet, I do not crave meat whatsoever. I really enjoy all of the dishes I would have never eaten otherwise.

The company Tyson invested in stacks up quite well to conventional meat.

Those endless fields of corn in the midwest are feed corn, not corn on the cob. They're destined for processed food or to feed animals. Soy isn't all that much different. What would have to happen is that we start planting something else, that's more immediately edible.

Agreed. People should stop going for a veggie burger that tastes like a beef burger. Instead, compare a beef burger to completely different, high quality, vegan meal like a veggie green curry, tikka masala, or burrito.
Or you could take the Impossible Foods approach and use plant based methods to replicate the components of meat.
> It's much more efficient to consume the plants directly.

We can't consume most plants directly, and the ones that we do, we consume only a tiny minority of the plant (most of the time).
Not any more appetizing if you knew what most slaughterhouses do.

Admittedly, it would be tremendously hard for me to be a vegetarian. Im a T2 diabetic. Grains, starches, and sugars are all bad for me.
I read a book in which the author related the story of an F-8 Crusader which suffered an in-flight failure during refueling, causing flame to shoot forward from the intake. Apparently there was photographic evidence, which came in handy when the manufacturer insisted that was impossible. Believe it was one of D.K. Tooker's books, probably "The Second Luckiest Pilot." Very entertaining read, highly recommended if you like vignettes of danger in the skies.
I agree that there's nothing out there that can simulate a grilled steak, but I don't think you're going to notice the difference between real ground beef and the fake stuff in a Taco Bell taco.

> BART is far and away the worst part of every workday

BART is loud, rattly, screechy, wobbly, and generally feels like it could fall apart any moment. I wonder if even third world countries are able to produce trains that bad. But in developed parts of the world, trains are quiet and clean and run smoothly.

In general when Americans say they don't like public transit, they mean they don't like American public transit, because it is so badly done in America.
If you haven't already streamline your learning skills usually developers with kids are more a bit older and have a lot of practice learning.

Kids do require a lot of energy/time but it is often shared with other family/friends who are parents so it helps to have a good network.

Get resourceful in finding time like early in the morning or on the train.

Don't be afraid to use your "working" hours, good companies understand the value of skills development so your learning is really a win win for them and you assuming you are planning to stay there in the immediate future.

People who don't have meat based diets tend to not agree that meats taste good(after some time if they were heavy meat eaters before). So the solution is to start kids on meat free diets and keep them on them then within a generation most people won't think meat tastes as good as plants. Problem solved.

This fails because things can't simply be broken down into a sets of "good" and "bad," and people really only do this because they want to justify things they already believe.

> the purpose of the market is not to determine valuations

Promoting price discovery [1] is one of the fundamental features and functions of a market.

Side note: the line between "speculation" and "investing," where the former refers to short-term shareholding and the latter to a specific set of Graham-Dodd valuation models, is not a general economic term. It only makes sense when discussing Graham-Dodd investment styles, which are a subset of long-term financial investment styles, which are themselves a subset of the market.

I wish it was that simple. Raising the gas tax isn't the solution. The gas tax will not work for to much longer because it doesn't accurately correlate to the number miles traveled.

- A old compact car from 2007 may only get 20 mpg while a new car from 2017 may get 40 mpg.

- Someone would a plug-in hybrid such as a Chevy Volt may only fill up their tank once every few months as they start off with a 50 mile battery range each morning.

- And those with pure electrics like a Tesla do not get taxed at all.

Raising the gas tax also unfairly punishes the lower income bracket who often drive older vehicles with worse MPG.

Definitely forward looking to invest in food intake in general rather than just meat. That being said, I thought the future of meat itself was "lab meat" i.e produced in growing vats, rather than on farms. The other thing is balance, if your source of plant protein is skewed to one thing like Soy, there is the risk of the body not being used to the other things in Soy --it's not like Chinese when they eat anything other than rice, have the protein as the main dish or portion --it's mostly a side dish and not the main source of nutrition.
