The monkey image is a great analogy for what economists are currently studying as the "productivity puzzle".

Low to zero productivity growth is also why our unemployment rate in the US is amazingly low (seemingly a tight labor market), but why real median income is stagnant.

> I see this move as a blessing for Tesla to gain market share in China.

Yes, and Tencent is betting on it, since Tesla Chinese market sales has just broken $1B [1], soon Chinese market will be Tesla's biggest market with Chinese government's policy leaning on supporting EV industries in a MAJOR way. Win-win!

There's little community blogs/papers here that cover that usually run by retirees and students though the real issue is having people around that can understand the gigantic legislation being pushed through city councils. Common here for thousand plus pages to get floated around nobody has time to sift through unless it's their F/T job to do so.

I've been working professionally in IT for about 6 years now and the concept of 'working too little' has never come up from any of my managers. I have a strict personal policy of working the exact amount of hours discussed upon hiring, and never responding to calls or email outside of those hours. For example I worked at a Fortune 50 with a 37.5 hour workweek and always stuck to that. I even counted the time I spent at lunch. Issue never raised.

I am not saying cases exist where workers are asked to work more than their agreed hours. I killed myself in kitchens for a $25k salary before switching to tech. These cases are a problem.

My point is that this behavior is often self-imposed. People seem to feel a sense of importance when they overwork themselves. Simply stick to the number of hours you've agreed upon and tell your manager to discuss with their supervisor if they bring it up as a disciplinary issue. This all qualified by being in a position of demand as an engineer.

Point is, you'd be surprised with what you can 'get away with.'
Ah, I see now it is a plot of CO2 equivalents... that ignores water vapor while the others (BC, OC, CH4, Sulfur, NOx, VOC, CO and NH3) are rather negligible (which is why the ppm values are close to those for CO2 alone).

Anyway you can deny what I am telling you, but it is usual for people to go to supposed authoritative site like that, then check wikipedia and see H20 is the biggest greenhouse gas.[1] As a result they just shrug and figure no one knows what they are talking about, since they can't get the story straight.

I agree its not a major %age of the costs for Insurance company. But here's what I think is happening:

Manufacturer MFG could sell a drug X at $1 and sell directly to 10,000 people at $1, make $10,000 revenue

But because of perverse insurance incentives, MFG decides to sell the same drug at $100, and there are 100 out of those 10,000 who can afford an insurance plan that covers the cost for that $100 drug X.

So, by jacking up the price the drug company's revenue at the very least, remains intact, or in most cases can get more revenue if the number of rich people with expensive insurance plans is greater than 100.

While Insurance companies wont mind paying the $100 since that fear of expensive drug gives them more customers affected by FUD, willing to pay obscene premiums, copays and deductibles.

And since many health insurance premiums are subsidized by the employer, the employee doesn't realize the true cost of health insurance, and thinks its a great deal to get a $100 drug for $20.

The solution I proposed, will solve this pricing obfuscation to a great extent. Insurance companies cannot justify paying for an expensive drug, if a cheaper one is available. MFG can still price drug X at $100, but if there's a generic variant made in India / Africa / China available for $5, there wont be a market for MFG to sustain. So, there's an incentive for MFG to sell X at < $5, while targeting more coverage instead of just the 100 people covered by expensive insurance plans.

I dont see people on either side of the political spectrum in US, asking to fix this problem. Nor has there been much discussion about the same. Hope this concept is evaluated and becomes popular in solving the Healthcare Mess of America.

At what point will Facebook totally kill m.facebook.com and force users to download the app? They've already done this with messenger; it's only a matter of time before they do the same for Facebook.app.

That will be the day I finally leave Facebook for good, because I have no interest in downloading that monstrosity of a spy device onto my iPhone.

First of all, we don't have a general purpose robot that can reliably fill even an entry-level fast food position in 2017, never mind 1969. But send a fry-cook to the moon and they'll get more science done in a day than a rover could do in a week.

Second of all, WHEN would you like the humans to go? How many robots should we send before we get the privilege to go there? Should we have stayed in Africa forever while only sending robots to the rest of Earth?
God is NOT dead - some people just ignore him.

As for you being exploited at work, I agree and it is terrible. I always thought of getting a job but never could for that very reason. Instead I freelance and am finishing up my own software to sell. I'm also careful about the contracts I sign. I turn down work if I don't like the contract.

Interestingly Jesus will help you break free from the grind. Many people are in the system because they are afraid of what would happen if they left, I assume. Jesus explained "do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink... Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you". When you believe Jesus it helps you be free and do your own thing because you are not worried about what you will do to live.

I knew most people here are probably atheists, and if you are I still respect you 100%. But I have found Jesus teachings to be the most effective tool in transforming my life.

George mueller is proof that God takes care of those who trust in him. He decided to believe Jesus' command and he started an orphanage, never asking for one single donation. There was a time they had no food for breakfast for the children. He stayed up late praying, and that night a man came by saying that he could not sleep, but felt that he must bring by bread to the orphanage. There are countless stories he has, reading his autobiography is amazing. His orphanage grew to one of the largest the world has ever seen, and he never asked for one donation.

The key is that you only find God if you are looking for him, if you take a chance. But he has promised that if you seek out his kingdom, he will provide. So seek his kingdom and start freelancing! Build your own business, and you won't have to be exploited!
I'm in the same boat. There does seem to be a gap in offerings. I'm looking for a solution for a static site, not cataloging of databases.

I was using searchpath.io, but developer announced he was winding it down. I was paying $75/yr. Loved it - simple, clean, pretty good results. I would pay more, but not as much as some of the major offerings. I am sure they are worth what they do, I just don't need that level of complexity.

We, as programmers, will never convince anyone that our preferences are right for everyone else, even when there are strong technical arguments. In this case (pun intended), it's subjective. A lot of it is what we get used to.
But the circumstances having changed (the wall gets progressively weaker with each attempt) can be taken to mean that you aren't quite "doing the same thing" and so this terrible quote sadly lives on in the minds of the pedantic.

Tesla's Blowing It in China
I live in America. I work in NYC. The unions here are a significant problem.

Unions in NYC are a protection racket. They don't do crap for worker safety or fair workplace rules. They are a front for legal extortion and add complexity and cost to nearly everything they touch.

Story time: Going in and out of telecommunications buildings there were scales by the doors to the rooms with equipment. If a bag, device, or piece of equipment weighed over 35 pounds, you needed to have a union member carry that piece of gear for you into the facility.

Forget the nature of the equipment, the fact that the equipment might have wheels in a case. The NEED for a worker wasn't something that could be discussed. The rule was: if it was over 35#, you needed to make sure that a union worker carried it in.

Troubleshooting a problem with a circuit and it's 12:00? Lunchtime! If you're a union worker, you just drop the phone where it is and walk away to go have lunch. Everything stops because the union rules specify that no work can be done during specified break times.

Please note that unions once served a vital and important purpose in this country: they protected workers against horrific abuses by management. The problem is that those abuses are now largely confined to industries where there has never been a solid union presence OR they've gone overseas to escape the unions.

In the meantime, unions here have hurt worker mobility, frustrated workplaces, and generally made everything worse for all parties by sheer incompetence.

Remember when Twinkies disappeared from the markets? Unions. Remember when US Airways nearly ran itself into the ground? Unions.

Unions need to adapt or die. My personal experience with unions is that they have hurt my career (when I was represented by a union) more than they've protected me.

And NYC is a special case of all of the above stupidity.

Oh, you were asking about inheritance, not objects. My bad. I'd say composition is almost always preferable.

That said, single level inheritance can be useful if you need to have multiple different objects that require very similar business logic but contain vastly different data.

A good example of this is Django's class based `View` class. I'm not talking about all the mixin views Django offers, just the simple generic `View` class. It handles routing to specific methods based on HTTP request METHOD. That eliminates the need to write the same ~100loc over and over. The alternative would be to use function based views. However, with function based views you end up basically recreating what the class does anyways after checking for each HTTP request method.

No, it's a mismatch between what the compiler accepts and what the JVM can execute.

The interesting part to me is that it seems that Java would be perfectly capable of differentiating between methods by return type if the compiler was tweaked slightly. Is there a reason why this isn't a formal language feature?

Whichever I have tried I always felt like a slave.

The ones with enough experience to hate thoroughly so far are:

- bash

- powershell

- windows cmd/batch

- ansible

- terraform

- azure clis, azure powershell api

- aws python api, cli

- Jenkins

- MS Team Foundation Services

- Docker (one of the nastiest ones)

- Rancher

I always managed to solve the tasks with the tools at hand (one of these), but all have so many weak points one must always work around, that I cannot say any single one made me feel like a boss when I had to use them for any non-trivial task.

If you want to feel like a boss, be a boss!
I don't think purchasing Renewable Energy Credits really means you'd see a pure carbon reduction. Some (most?) of that wind power was going to be produced anyway. Buying their credits is just a subsidy.

Though economics isn't my forte.
Options solve it in the sense that you limit your downside, but you can still very well lose your premium. Even if you're 100% convinced that $TSLA is overvalued, markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent, and your puts may very well expire worthless.
To be fair, in this case it is apples to apples. The average car consumer does not weigh in the electric component with so much weight to overlook poor interior quality. Tesla's cars must be on the same level if they are to win the public's heart.

I think they knew solar is the future, all around the world.

China has massive pollution, and most homes/businesses that have access to direct sunlight. (Yes--I know solar works 50% on cloudy day. It doesn't work well with a lot foliage coverage. China looks barren of trees--sadly.)

My hope is those solar tiles come down drastically in price. My hope is the average roof will be cost effective to put said tiles up.

I think those solar tiles will be Tesla's Trump card. It will probally be in four years, or more in the United States. We will need a new president. (I was for Trump putting Coal miners back to work, until I found out the problem is not regulations, but automation. Actually, I want clean air. We need a better way of supporting people affected by the elimination of old ways of doing things; like a Basic Income.). Sorry about being all over the place, but there are no simple answers. Trump is just finding this out.

I think Tencent saw a long value in the stock, even though their citizens will not likely buy Tesla's tiles. They will buy the cheapest knock-off as usual, but the rest of the civilized world will buy Tesla's product.

(I don't know what patents are on these new Tesla tiles, but I bet they are seen as a valuable commodity, even to a cheating society like China.)
Thanks for the clarification "SASS-like mixins for CSS in JS" sums it up.

I did look at the docs, but that doesn't have an explanation of what value this is trying to offer either.

If designers are being asked to write CSS-IN-JS, I can get where there the difficulty comes from, but I'd still argue that most of these functions are just moving the chairs around.

This [1] IMHO is the defacto JS color lib, but again can see how, if the only thing you know is SASS, it looks a bit to much like real code.

I use a combination of F# scripts and PowerShell. Anytime I need to do data manipulation, code generation, or anything hard core development related I use F#. I could use PowerShell for this, but I'm more comfortable and feel I have more control with fsx scripts. For all the server related tasks or automated build tasks I use PowerShell. We're a heavy MS shop, and I get that it may not work for everyone, but we leverage so many MS technologies that it just makes sense to go with the flow.

What "build quality"?

I don't mean to be flippant, but it seems to me that most new cars have uniformly good build quality. And if something does go wrong, it gets fixed under a ubiquitously generous warranty. This applies to almost every brand I can think of on the market, from Tesla to Toyota.
I tried this back in Philly. I asked for 3 13s or 4 10s. With 75% of the discussed salary, I was fully expecting to go down to 70%. If I'm left the hell alone, I get a majority of my sprint work done in the first few days. Barring tedium, like upgrading network vendor devices.

The most common answer was click. They just hung up on me. I burned several recruiting firms. Telling me I was not passionate about this career choice. I was also told about several companies. How dare I think I was special, and that I didn't commit to the team culture. My explanation was that to fully exercise my mind I have a variety of hobbies that eat up time. I'm working on a novel, acting, etc. They're not competing, but they provide benefit to the company. Nope. I approach this one with real caution now.
