How is this an absurd generalization? This type of crap happens all the time. And people should absolutely talk about this stuff constantly because this kind of stuff shows the true colors of the union(s) and what they really stand for. And people need to be constantly reminded of that.

All of these unions that center around apprenticeship programs or requiring special training that is near-impossible to get without being part of the union is all just protectionist garbage. Its sole purpose is to control the supply of available labor for certain types of work.

I don't write contracts but my current day job is "Information Technology 'stuff'" at a company that is related to this field.

While I couldn't talk about and have made no effort to remember the (obviously confidential) details of conversations I've overheard, I have heard enough to know the general trend in this area.

There are two main components to worry about here.

1) Cost of the procedure. Currently medical trials are activities by the 'drug company', except for things that a patient in that position 'should' need anyway. If academia were developing (at testing!) the new medicine/techniques then the 'medical research' system would need to cover it. Obviously this is more likely to work out with a 'single payer' system.

2) Risks. The unknown is risky. It can lead to worse outcomes and increased expenses. Similar to point 1, there would need to be coverage of this built in as well. As a special addition to point 1 it would also involve fixing 'malpractice' lawsuits and the like.

I think that if I were ever to be involved in a malpractice circumstance what I would actually want would be:

* If the involved practitioners are //at fault// them to be barred from the profession and related fields.
* If anyone lied or covered up information that would have lead to a better outcome them to go to jail.
* The absolute best effort at fixing and/or treating the resulting issue to be provided (a single payer system just should).

Yeah there's a sense, but a bunch of the negative stories about Uber/Kalanick have originated in our community too. Would Susan Fowler's story have gone viral had it not been for the outrage within Silicon Valley? Including "Silicon Valley and its denizens" includes a giant group of people who have been crying out against this behavior.

I suppose I just don't like the insinuation that I (or my part of the Silicon Valley community) support that behavior.

That's a great example of the positive impact of unions on society.

Those waterless urinals are a bullshit green thing used to suck up grant money -- sort of like the "big smelly" trash cans that appeared with Obamas stimulus program. Most often, if not usually, they are removed from service because they get disgusting unless you train your janitorial staff and keep good track of when maintenance is performed.

The pipes are there so when you decide to flush the waterless urinal, you can do so without engaging in some massive project.

Perfecting Your Prototype
Basically, overflow doesn't lead to memory safety in isolation. That's the key of it. The worst that can happen is a logic errors, and we are not trying to stop all of those with the compiler :) Justifying a 20%-100% speed hit (that was cited in the thread) for every integer operation to save something that can't introduce memory safety is a cost we can't afford to pay.

If you want the full details, https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/1f5d3a9512ba08390a222... is the RFC, and https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/560 was the associated discussion, there is a lot of it.

EDIT: oh, one more thing that may have significance you may or may not have picked up: one reason why under/overflow in C and C++ is dangerous is that certain kinds are undefined behavior. It's well-defined in Rust. Just doing that alone helps, since the optimizer isn't gonna run off and do something unexpected.
Except as twb points out, the Uber board can't oust him. And somehow I feel like a Jobsian journey of self-discovery is outside the reach of someone whose problems aren't coming from a perfectionist streak but rather a disdain for the customers/workers/employees using/building the service.

On the other hand, sounds ripe for some other company not struggling with the same culture issues nor saddled with the sizable VC debt to come in for the kill.
You just have a narrower scope of what counts as complexity. Mine includes things that complicate humans and debuggers understanding and analyzing the ultimate bytecode.

The techniques and difficulty in implementing the compiler itself are related but not really the same subject.
Fundamental answer is yes, as I'm not doing it for a living nor living in LA, but working through other Digital / International Channels and markets for work, options, opportunities, etc.

LA will probably always be the capital of US film though. It took a lot of effort to move all the way out there to avoid paying patent royalties. The business is super entrenched there - Netflix and Amazon barely put a dent in the grand scheme of productions made annually though (then again, Bollywood cranks out more than Hollywood nowadays).
A friend of mine once made a "Dungeons and Dragons Monopoly" variant where each character was a D&D class and the spaces were re-named as iconic D&D locations. If a character landed on the same space as another, they'd then get to "fight" (roll two dice and compare numbers) and the winner could steal a property from the other. It turned out to be one of the more fun Monopoly variants I've ever played, as it allowed monopolies to be created easier (fighting to get that third property someone wouldn't trade you) and thus the game progressing faster.
I've been on 10.3 beta and have had few crashes (fewer than since 9.x). It has been an amazingly stable beta experience for me (polar opposite from iOS5 beta which was unusable/dangerous)
This is quite an accurate overview of the surprisingly vast vocabulary of concepts a web developer needs to be familiar with. It certainly looks a bit daunting all laid out like this!
There are some jobs that require physical strength, and I think it is undisputed that men are stronger than women on average. Garbage men are an example for that (I think it is very strenuous work). I've read that while the military in many countries strives to allow more women, this has resulted in many injuries to women because they are more prone to injuries under physical strain.

There are some jobs that can not easily be done part time or don't allow for flexible schedules. For example, as a truck driver driving to Turkey for three days to pick up tomatoes, you can not simply go home after 8 hours to put your children to sleep. Surgeons have a similar issue: you can not leave and go home in the middle of a brain surgery, and you can not predict how long a surgery will take.

Also, women can often simply opt out of unpleasant jobs, by not returning after the baby break. Men have no such option. Women often don't need to earn s much money, either, as they can expect their husband to be the main breadwinner of the family. So they can opt for jobs with lower pay, but higher life satisfaction.

Most of it boils down to children and family. Feminists of course think that it is just a cultural norm that makes mothers take over most of the responsibility for the kids. In my opinion, it is completely different: women get the first pick because they invest more into bringing children into the world - so they get to decide if they want to stay home with the kids or go to work, and most simply prefer to stay home with their kids. Because, surprising perhaps to feminists, spending time with one's own children is not all that horrible after all. Basically, the womb is a really good bargaining chip.

It is also a pretty modern discussion, with all the office jobs that seem equally suited for men and women because they require no physical effort. In former times, the bulk of the work was impossible to do for pregnant women (who should avoid heavy lifting), so the question didn't even arise.
Question: Why didn't the guy just pack up the crane and take it elsewhere? The issues that make tower cranes unsafe and expensive aren't unique to New York City, and if Austin, TX was any indication, there has been a shortage of cranes due to construction activity worldwide.

Is there something about the economics or the licensing that makes this crane only work in New York City?
Yes, if the compiler can prove they're not needed, then it can remove the checks. But it has to prove it.
This is the same concept as EVE's PLEX item, which was introduced to combat TOS-violating real money transactions. In-game prices are subject to in-game market fluctuations, which are relatively stable.

Ever since then, any headline involving EVE player shenanigans and a dollar amount is derived from this one-way exchange rate.

True, but there is a bound on how much complexity of a concept can differ across axiom systems. Complexity (up to an additive constant) is an objective fact independent of any particular axiom system.

If this were carried out by anyone with a lesser dataset or less germline genome experience than deCODE, I'd be super skeptical. As it is, I would expect the science itself to be solid (if early), I'm just super skeptical of the spin put on it when it's reported in the popular press.

The final paragraph should be the primary take home, IMHO:

>“Although the effect of the polygenic score for educational attainment on fertility is weak and needs replication in populations other than Iceland, this study is a harbinger for the new directions in research that will be possible as bigger and better polygenic scores come online,” Plomin added

As you might guess from my username, I'm pretty skeptical of single-gene explanations for complex traits. The idea of "genes for education" is such a simplification of a very complex phenotype that it's hard to make sense of it.

That said, polygenic studies are the future IMHO, but we're just hashing out methods. Studies like this, though preliminary, are the first steps towards that.

Humans are going through a huge population boom, which can be a catalyst for faster evolution. It will be very interesting to see what happens in 10,000 years. Maybe by then we'll even have models and understanding enough to figure out the extent that "education genes" exist as positive causal predictors rather than correlative associations.

The movie addresses this. Since the entire point of the heptapods visit is to force humans to learn their language, it makes sense that they would force humanity to "work it out."
I like the wiring analogy, and also ones that describe the functional mind akin to vast, complex spider webs upon which information zooms around. Making connections, turns, associations, firing individual bits or entire areas into vivid use.

If we didn't "rewire" as you put it, I think we'd have a very big problem as a species learning new things!
I accept the premise of equal opportunity, but you are insisting on equal outcome (and asserting that it is a foregone conclusion). Everyone is equal under the law, but that does not mean that everyone has the same qualities or qualifications.

If you can show me a company that is refusing to hire a woman, then I'll be right there with you opposing them. If a company is forcing a woman to work for lower pay because she is a woman, then I'll be right there with you opposing them. When you ask me to discriminate against someone because they are better at negotiating, I cannot offer support.

Blind moral assertion IS NOT FACT.

You assert that we must have the same number of men and women because it is the moral thing to do. You further assert that this moral imperative is so absolute that the use of force to compel other people is perfectly fine.

At its basis, this is no different than relatively small things like prohibition or large things like the inquisition or communist re-education camps.

EDIT: to answer your first statement in more concrete terms, I believe men and women make different choices because they are different (as stated at the top of that post). If you are insistent on forcing women into STEM whether they like it or not, there should be more to that argument than symmetry. What you quoted addresses one part that line of thought.

If you don't provide sufficient context, in any argument, then that is just cherry picking.

In this case, if the list contains mild things and racism, then its probably just that PewDiePie is racist. If the list contains nothing socially acceptable and some of it happens to racist well then clearly the whole thing was for shock value, and the racism was probably just a way to push your buttons.
I don't want to jump on the "Rust fixes everything" train, but lifetimes, scope-based destructors and reference counted pointers seem like they help with this sort of thing beyond just preventing literal accesses of freed memory; they can make sure objects are around when you need them and that they're destroyed automatically when you don't anymore.

Of course, you don't get it all for free; you have to wrestle with mutability and lifetimes, which can get hairy.

But please continue by reading more rigorous work on evolution, or you run the risk of being badly misinformed. I suggest, at a minimum, a decent textbook. Here I'd recommend Douglas Futuyma's Evolution.

Follow this up with some key works in the field, such as Gould's early critique of naive adaptationism,
The Spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian Paradigm: A Critique of the Adaptationist Programme.

Also consider different perspectives such as the those described in following books, which take, respectively, drift- and mutation-first approaches to evolution:

The Origins of Genome Architecture, M Lynch; and
Mutation-Driven Evolution, M Nei.

Above all, know that evolution is far more complex, subtle (and interesting) than The Selfish Gene would have you believe.
Sounds sane. Otherwise upgrade scripts would have to be exhaustive for beta1->GM, beta2->GM etc. So now there's 10.2->10.3 and beta7->10.3, much more manageable.

> allowing all players to bid on every single unowned property that a player lands on (sometimes with some kind of addition such as the landing player getting the right of first refusal at twice the price, or something, but never simply letting them purchase at face-value).

AFAIK this isn't a variant, this is more or less the actual real rule of the game (or something halfway between). If a player refuses to buy something when they land on it, it's supposed to go up for auction with no minimum bid.

No one plays that way, but it's the official rule.

Good news: probably don't happen often, cause we don't hear about it often.

Bad news: It takes just a few less open minded people to harm someone. Even if majority would be privately open minded, would they be willing to openly publicly defend bdsm? It is something icky to both radical left liberal feminist and christian conservative sides. And even theoretically open minded people can turn out to have bias or prejudice once they are in real situation.

Quite honestly, tech myths about themselves overstate how open or tolerant or awesome overall community is.

Focusing on work and allowing harassment is polar opposites. Harassment is by definition something personal and not professional, and outside of those supporting hazing there is not much support that harassment has any place in the work place.

Reading the stories about uber, I keep hearing that the woman wanted to focus on work but the harassing person interfered. That is exactly what amorphid suggest that a company should work to prevent, fostering a culture that focus on making customers happier and getting people working together for that a common goal.
Most likely I/O will take more time than whatever code is running, so in that aspect it would make no difference. Memory overhead is main concern here. Rust doesn't use GC, so you'll have full control and there should be not much difference in that aspect. Other languages do, which means more sophisticated runtime, less control and more overhead (or writing ugly code to avoid it). Libcurl written in Go/Ocaml/Haskell would require anyone using it to also include runtime of the language, which is usually rather large.
I've been in enterprise IT for a long time. These issues only exist because the governance/funding model is broken, and IT is incapable of delivering scaled down solutions at a reasonable price.

Then when the access app gets "important", IT uses it as a hostage for more funding, using the absurdly expensive cost model that they build.
I still did not write about modern medicine; I don't know why you bring that up. This was about the transition from hunter-gatherers to farming, first in Mesopotamia and a few other places, about 10 000 years ago or so.

That was the "advent of agriculture", also known as "Neolithic revolution".

However, overall I'd say that starvation vs. having sufficient food impacts mortality rates more than modern medicine. You can't eat the best of hygiene and medication doesn't nourish you.

Of course! Unions are a way to balance the scales against corporations. Controlling the supply of labor is very important if you want the wages to be at all decent.

But the parent is right that anything questionable done by unions is labored over and repeated again and again and again and again while corporations (for the most part) don't face the same scrutiny.
