> I absolutely LOVE how having a large number of minorities was presented as a negative.

NYT loves doing stuff like this. It's the same paper that reported 39% of colleges having less overseas applicants, 35% - more and the rest roughly the same number as "Amid ‘Trump Effect’ Fear, 40% of Colleges See Dip in Foreign Applicants".[1] Looks like they just can't help themselves.

I think parents should set an allowance, rather then a straight no.

kid wants a lolly from the checkout? subtract from the allowance, and make sure the kid knows the remaining. don't restrict what the allowance can be used for, but strictly police the amount per month.

they have to learn from early on, this useful skill of trade off and long term planning. it's never too late to start.
He was also too racist to be confirmed as a judge in the 80s.

There is a nice letter from MLK's widow about him.

Although, why would you need to have a law against cruel/inhumane treatment? Isn't that already part of the bill of rights?
That's the term, but most people that don't deal with vegetarians don't know it. (I've also seen a number of vegetarians & pescatarians that don't know it, which is somewhat surprising to me). But yes, I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian.
> WHAT? Why not the average? This is crazy.

Inflation. If you work for, say, 30 years at 2% annual inflation, that comes out to about 81% total inflation by the end of it--that makes weighting early years the same as later years completely untenable.

If you want to make every aspect of life feel like commercial air travel does at present, then sure, then play your ever-escalating game of whack-a-mole, but please don't speak as if the conclusion is so foregone. And don't pretend the benefits will naturally materialize (when history has shown that they won't). The cost of such a system is the only part of it that's guaranteed.

"The trouble with you Americans is you think every problem has a solution," it has been observed.
Kind of. It's mostly a people thing, not a strictly technical thing. A lot depends on the company culture. In my company in theory the IT department is there to help everyone with their IT needs. In practice interacting with that group is painful because they are not necessarily aligned or motivated by the same things other people are. I can imagine that having an "engineering productivity" group can suffer from similar problems but if the culture is right then it can be a win/win.

And this isn't a problem if cities permitted adequate housing growth and goverments didn't encourage detached single family homes in urban areas with massive subsidies.
The hard data is piss poor. It's largely self-reported data collected by media agencies. Just google "Bank of Mom and Dad", there are lots of poorly done studies. This one is okay: http://paa2005.princeton.edu/papers/51443

The reason it's poor is because everyone has an incentive (bank, broker, parents, you) to under-report the parental funds. Parents send the gift money in advance (3 months to be exact), banks look the other way to meet equity requirements and the transaction takes place.
The City is way too generic of a name. Bay Area people would only recognize this as SF--here in O.C., "The City" means Los Angeles. In NY, "The City" means NYC, so on and so on.
If it is of any consolation, the odds of picking up such as disease is likely to be very low. Bone meal feeding was extremely prevalent prior to human cases of CJD started to emerge and the number of cases remained thankfully small.

A similar argument could be made for other bad things such as thalidomide: we understand now that it is actually quite safe when used outside a fairly short window when the long bones of the limb is developed in a foetus. While the number of victims are numerous, it is an extremely small fraction out of all the doses prescribed in Europe before the ban.
Changing future pension payment rules is entirely reasonable, as long as your prior work results in pro-rated payouts.

Changing 'future' pension payment rules, where a pension kicks in after 20 years of employment, when you are on year 19, should not fly.

Pretty horrible outcome for anyone who got in on their IPO ($21/share) just 4 years ago.

It's kind of a fitting end for mostly a sham company. The business model was shaky at best, mostly just milking first page rankings all over google.

The argument that coupon codes incent buying activity is valid, but literally all this company did was be the first on google. If the actual retailer ranked ahead of RTMN for coupon searches, RTMN wouldn't be anywhere near where it is today, and retailers sales would be exactly the same.
>According to bankrate, you would need to save about $24,000 a year for 40 working years to be able to support $300,000 a year

how could have one saved $24K/year in 1977? I think it was pretty damn good whole salary back then. And it is kind of obvious that $24K yearly savings today wouldn't get you an equivalent of today's $300K/year in 2057.
This argument is so wrong in so many ways it will end being absolute truth because no one can explain its full wrongness in less than 50 hours.
In what way were they scamming retailers?
Agreed, I think that one of the consequences of the article is that computable numbers are generally a substitute for how most people think about the reals (e.g. the fundamental theorem of algebra is true for computable numbers extended with the square root of -1, not just complex numbers).
"If one takes natural language as a means to definite sets, you quickly get a plethora of paradoxes"

Which is why I think if you resort to natural language to refute the consequences of a more rigorous treatment of the concept of number then there will be trouble. The whole paper attempts to refute things like Cantor through a weird recourse to French.

However I think it is possible to reduce real numbers as being a sort of subset of French purely through the same construct that Mr Cantor describes because that's the way descriptions work. If you define a real in some way in some form of symbolic language - I recall from GED that SSS might embody "three" and so does "trois". So I don't see why French can't encompass reals SSS can be considered exactly equivalent to trois.

I suspect I need to know and understand the formal, rigorous definition of "real" before I really give it some.
"Frisco" it is, then
BTW the article itself essentially admits my point:

> Since workers for most gig economy companies are considered independent contractors, not employees, they do not qualify for basic protections like overtime pay and minimum wages. This helped Uber, which started in 2009, quickly grow to 700,000 active drivers in the United States, nearly three times the number of taxi drivers and chauffeurs in the country in 2014.

In other words, Uber could overtake taxi & chauffeur industry and provide jobs to 700K people because they weren't saddled with onerous regulations and union rules. That's not my words, that's NYT's words.

I'm in the process of reducing my dairy and egg intake. Soy milk was okay, but I've found I much prefer almond milk, and it works well enough in my cooking. We have some egg replacer we use for baking, but I've not yet tried in it cooking dishes. Cheese is a harder one, as the vegan cheeses aren't bad on a pizza but don't fill all the roles of cheese for me.

You make an excellent point about those industries - I originally had a comment about them above, but dropped it as it was getting a bit (more) off topic. My point at the time is that I'm not ethically against the actual act of eating eggs or consuming dairy, but you are correct that those industries, even many of the "friendly" ones, do things that I'm not ethically okay with.

The hardest part about becoming a vegetarian was actually admitting to myself that my actions AREN'T ethical by my own definitions, and that I would have to accept that while not giving up on the idea of improving. Kind of like how we are about charity - we all spend money on our own frivolities that we would spend to help someone in need were they in front of us...but we try very hard to not have such issues in front of us.

Just FYI, over 50% of contributions come from !Google, and that's part of the reason that so many people (CoreOS, Redhat, Apprenda, Deis, thousands of internal folks) have rebased on it.

I saw some of your other comments - I'd love to understand better what we could do to either a) make it feel like not an internal tool and b) if you didn't use Kubernetes or containers, how you'd prefer to run distributed workloads.

TBC, I totally agree with you - if you're running 1-2 nodes, and don't care about downtime, you should NEVER use Kubernetes or any orchestrator. Once you get to 3+, however, I can't imagine using anything else.

Disclosure: I work at Google on Kubernetes
Yeah, learning the culture of your profession -- with a broad awareness of different ecosystems and things -- isn't "immediately productive," but it's a simple form of professional development. (And in my opinion, enlightened employers understand that decent professional development is a really important part of the work process.)

Thats interesting because 4 hours is exactly the limit I've seen cited by researchers as the max for highly focused work but even that much is a kind of skill that has to be developed, so a beginner might have much less concentration.
True it is probably not a good idea in a vacuum.

However in the real world where there are very few product ideas that succeed, it is not a bad idea to start something that you feel has a good market, but relies on another company's platform. because the alternative is waiting decades to start a perfect idea.
What? How did capitalism cause any of this? Politicians promised pensions assuming unrealistic consistent growth in their investments.

These funds stuck trillions of dollars in the stock market, which is exactly how Gates, Buffet, and Koch made their money. The pension funds are still getting massive returns. But that does not stop politicians from promising _even more_ than was possible.
You should also ask if they feel their manager facilitates their productivity.

> During the penalty phase of the trial, a prosecutor said that Willingham's tattoo of a skull and serpent fit the profile of a sociopath. Two medical experts confirmed the theory. A psychologist was asked to interpret Willingham's Iron Maiden poster, and said that a picture of a fist punching through a skull signified violence and death. He added that Willingham's Led Zeppelin poster of a fallen angel was "many times" an indicator of "cultive-type" activities

I don't understand your question. Do you mean why didn't you decide to incorporate in the United States?

I'm not American, and I don't want anything to do with American taxes. That rules out any US LLC or corporation. My market is also Asia and the Middle East, so I opted for a Hong Kong company. No resident director requirement, and no tax on profits earned outside Hong Kong. There's no tax on salaries if earned outside Hong Kong, which leaves you with personal income tax in the country you're resident in.

Creating a Hong Kong company took about 1-2 days. I went to Hong Kong for a weekend to open a bank account. KYC rules require you appear in front of a bank officer to open a bank account.

You can consider Singapore as well, but Singapore has a resident director requirement.

What is your market, and where are you trying to sell?

An interesting idea that follows from this: what other kinds of "numbers" might we come up with if we relax our logical blinders?

I have this concept of "materialization" and wonder if there is a formal mathematical term for it. Complex numbers are actual, in the sense that they can be used in calculations that finally would give us a number we can make sense of (materialization), even if we cannot actually imagine a complex quantity.

In the same way, what if we invent a new class of real numbers that are quantized (such that there exists a smallest quantity x)?

What if we propose the existence an "imaginary" algorithm (call it omega, if you like) that can decide the halting problem?

These mathematical objects do not have to "exist" for them to be useful. I think there is a whole lot of new and interesting math that would be unlocked by dispensing with our logical blinders.
I even remember watching an interesting X-files episode about this.
You'd also need good data for test-retest variability here.

Would you expect to get the same exact score taking the test twice if you hadn't studied? How much of the point increase could be ascribed to luck?
Well I'd suggest "repo" -- the tool that goes with Gerrit, and collects many git repos into reviewable release units with a manifest. That's what Android does.

(But I'd guess that's probably enough to shoot it down as a tool for Microsoft to ever use, right there. Not rightfully, but likely in fact... maybe that's the old Microsoft though.)

This sounds like a general errors handling issue that nor exceptions nor monadic errors types can prevent.
Hmm, but most startups fail from lack of traction, and rarely because of poor financial modeling.
Is it due to the cost of living or do you just not like the city?
A number is also a concept, and there are number systems that include infinities (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number). It all depends on your definitions/axioms. So in a sense there is not full agreement on what a number is, but several sets numbers are generally agreed upon: integers, rationals, computables, etc.
Thinking about the problem is working.
Sweet! I'll use Google's Authenticator app. Thanks!

It was verbal vs on paper. What was in the review was that I needed to improve my time management. And oddly enough I left for Sun Microsystems not to long after that, but not strictly because of the review, rather it was that I preferred a work culture that understood what programmers did in addition to understanding what EEs did.

And for what its worth, I took it to mean that I wasn't communicating how I was spending my time well enough and suggested ways that would work for both of us. I expect that had I stayed at Intel it would have been fine.

plus saved vacation and sick days, including carryover from all the previous years. The number of such saved carried over days are usually not capped. As result the last year total may easily double the previous years yearly income. It is called "spiking".

The industry I see Rust making headway into first is actual security. E.g., encrypted communications, etc.

The problem with aerospace, automotive, etc. is that there's substantial physical risk associated with errors. So there's not a lot of incentive to go with something brand new. Things like network security, etc. are a place where people are maybe a bit more concerned about safety than in some other areas, but also need performance, and notions of risk are more vague.

The interest of Tor developers in Rust is not surprising to me at all, for example.

Nothing is going to happen overnight, and I don't see C/C++ going anywhere, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Rust gaining a foothold in certain places, and expanding from there. I could also see it being a flash in the pan too, but it's unpredictable really.
You have no data at all to back this up. The vulnerabilities you speak of are, far more often than not, written in old-style C and C++. That doesn't make Rust a bad idea, but it does mean your claim is completely unsubstantiated.

Advocating for Rust by lying is not going to help anyone.

To immediate parent's credit, the CNBC article does not abbreviate SF as San Fran in its title.

This goes for everyone in this thread but please don't only be cynical about this - there's a lot we can do around the margin

- Approve HOME SF - a Katy Tang plan to provide bonuses for dense housing near transit

- Approve the Safai/Breed housing plan, which would require 18% of units to be affordable, vs 28%

- Show up to the Brisbane Baylands meetings and voice our support for a plan that includes 4400 units of housing, vs zero units

- Support SB 35, which would fast track projects that are near transit and include affordable housing

- Support SB 167, which would allow the state to be a lot more aggressive pursuing violators of the Housing Accountability Act.
Zero incentive to move to SF. The cost of living has reached a point where I'd end up taking home less disposable income even with a significant increase over my current base salary and signing bonuses get eaten up by moving expenses. Barely escaped the housing bubble crash in south Florida a few years back. No way I'd want to run the risk of experiencing another market adjustment.
> HTML is for devs. They're the ones that deal with it.

Correct. You make it readable the same reason you make any code readable.

> It doesn't matter what you use, you can nest your CSS by hand or with Sass. Either way, you now have CSS tightly coupled to your HTML structure and it can be hell to change. I'm literally dealing with this right now (we use sass).

No. The whole point is if you use SASS properly you don't have to nest anything unless you want to.

My question is about these Silicon Valley people who spend their days at work and nights in bed: how do they go about sourcing the inventory for their experiments? (Asking for a friend who doesn't want to frequent nightclubs nor attend burning man, but very much wants to try microdosing.)
Infinite values (e.g. the density of a black hole, the size of the universe) and infinitesimals (e.g. continuous space-time) are assumed to be real, rather than inaccurate but useful approximations.
They did use some different words, "perhaps first made by accident."
Costs indicate it is full. Going there is like going to Disneyland when it is over occupancy, too expensive and not enough efficiency at that scale to have a good time. The housing/rental market of SF is screaming "get out", unless of course if you own real estate property.

All SF tech companies promote how with technology you can be anywhere, but apparently there is a single point of failure on physical work locations, or on the flip a nice real estate funnel for above market rates. SF is part tech play part real estate, the smartest investors are investing and collecting the rents of those investments and salaries.
I don't think SRV records are the right answer; your networking layer should be k8s aware and issue a watch command on Endpoints; it'll be updated immediately-ish when the servers changes. This is similar to how finagle's zookeeper server set is supposed to work.

What linkerd buys you is you don't have to write this type k8s-aware, zipkin logging library for every language you're running in production. But I think it's straddling a very narrow section; small users shouldn't care about this and just rely on the round robin, zipkin is a PITA to run anyway. Large users will probably want to write their own libraries (zipkin is a lot better if you put traces in your process)
Rust has benefits for writing and maintaining correct code, sure. But your claim here is absolutely absurd. Rust is quite difficult to learn- anecdotally, empirically, and by nature.

Being dishonest about Rust is not going to help anyone no matter how good it is.
Wan't thinking about multi-resolution or HiDPI - or other technical 'support' - but actual ergonomic use of multiple-monitors. It's lack of customisability in the placement of things, as well as the anachronistic global menu bar, mean that using it with, say, 3 large monitors of pretty sub-par.
